Chapter 2404 No. 23(1/2)
"So, in the eyes of the Ness wizard, my soul is actually very fragile?" The authority eye slowly turned its head and stared at Ness.
Because Angel's expression could not be seen through his eyes, Nice couldn't tell for a moment whether Angel was making sarcastic remarks with emotion, or whether he was really asking.
Nice thought for a while and said: "Your soul has very special properties and can even be immune to most soul attacks. But, can this special ability really be controlled by yourself?"
Angel remained silent, the answer was obvious.
Nice briefly touched on the special nature of Angel's soul and said no more. After all, this involves some secrets of Angel and even the Phantom Island.
"Your soul has great potential. It may become one of your assets when fighting against enemies in the future, but before that, what you need to do is to study it and protect it to avoid being broken by those who are proficient in the soul when it is vulnerable."
Nice: "The soul weapon may be able to protect your soul for a period of time."
Angel still didn't say anything, but his mind was already slightly biased.
"So, when you go to the third-floor showroom later, don't stop studying the magic energy array and pick one first." Kanter suggested.
Angel pondered: "Soul weapons... still need more in-depth research."
Although Angel did not directly agree, his reply actually expressed his attitude. He previously showed no concern for the soul weapon, but now that he wants to study it in depth, it means that he has also developed his thoughts.
Nice: "Of course, I have to study whether there are any disadvantages first, otherwise I won't transplant it easily. This is related to the soul."
Because they saw that Angel's demands for soul weapons were changing. So, during the next journey, Nice and Kanter taught Angel about some transplantable organs that would not enter the internal circulation and were relatively simple to replace.
type.
After being introduced all the way, they followed the direction of the magic pattern and came to a double door.
"Has the sub-control node been clearly stated this time? Isn't it necessary to go through the Death Corridor?" Ness looked at the door and said.
Angel shook his head: "The magic pattern points here, but it shouldn't be the end of the sub-control node."
What Angel means is that the sub-control node may be in other places, but instead of walking through the normal corridor, you have to use this room as a transit to go to other places.
Nice nodded clearly. He did not push the door directly in, but turned to look at Reynolds: "Do you know where it is inside?"
Reynolds seemed to have recalled something, his expression was a little ugly, and after a long time he said: "Inside is... the medical center."
"Is there any agency?"
Reynolds: "No, just pull the door outward and you can go in."
"There is no institution, or a medical center. Why do you look so ugly?" Nice was a little confused. He shook his head and sighed, and opened the door directly.
After the door was opened, a large amount of white frost mist filled the air, just like the showroom.
The cold breath penetrated into the nose, making the head feel slightly tingly.
After a long while, the frost mist gradually dispersed. When everyone looked inside, they were all stunned.
There are many people inside.
But they are not living people, but dead people housed in nearly a hundred transparent glass columns and soaked in pure cold liquid.
These dead people are suspended in cold liquid, all maintaining the state of the moment before death. Some of them died as human bodies, but more often some parts of their bodies mutated and turned into terrifying monsters. For example, there were overgrown
There is green mucus, some have tentacles all over the body, some have swollen abdomens, and blood vessels are gushing... etc. Just the abnormal appearance will probably scare ordinary people into sickness when they see it.
These dead people soaked in glass columns have a common feature. They all have X tattoos on the left side of their faces, and the numbers on the right side are random. Some are hundreds, some are tens, and some are... singles.
Reynolds was standing next to a corpse with single digits on the right side of his face.
Her serial number is
"... She is 'Xi'. When she and I were on a mission to clean up defectors, she died together with the defectors, and I... survived. She was also brainwashed by the laboratory, but when she died
She seemed to have woken up and told me that she was envious that I had a name and that many people recognized the meaning of this name. She had a wish and wanted to have a name that could be recognized, even if she could only have it for a second."
"So, at the moment before she died, I gave her the name '襥'. The meaning of this name is the spike of flowers that will wither before they bloom."
Reynolds lowered his head, as if he was talking or murmuring: "It is precisely because of this incident that I am very keen on naming my companions. Like the 'Tooth' I met just now,
'Scythe', 'Rin' and the 'Song' I mentioned before were all chosen by me based on their characteristics..."
When Reynolds said this, he paused obviously. He may have wanted to say: But, they didn't seem to agree.
There are very few experimental subjects who have awakened like '祥'. Maybe others will awaken before death, but what's the use?
Everyone listened to Reynolds' narration. Although the story he told was not dramatic, nor was it as tragic as imagined, it was as bland as the story of a supporting character in a story novel. However, it made everyone understand something.
.
Why is Reynolds obsessed with eliminating the serial mark of the soul body, and is even willing to team up with Nausicaa to break into the laboratory and steal data?
Because what he wants to find is himself.
This self is not just a name, but a "me" in a certain idealistic sense.
Only by finding "me" can he truly give up the past and embark on the road to the future to find the freedom he longs for.

In this world, everyone has their own story, and even the little people in the big era have their own pasts. This is Reynolds' past. Even if people cannot empathize with Reynolds, they at least begin to understand his beliefs.
Because of Reynolds' narration, the atmosphere was slightly silent.
It wasn't until a "click" sound was heard that everyone came back to their senses.
When Reynolds looked up, he found that Nice, Kanter and even the skeleton knight standing not far away were missing.
After taking a closer look, I found that Nice was moving quickly beside the glass pillars, while Kanter was standing in the distance doing something unknown.
A few seconds later, Nice stood in front of a glass pillar.
Reynolds thought for a while and walked over.
"Sir, what happened?" Reynolds asked respectfully.
Nice pointed at the person floating in the glass column in front of him and asked: "Who is he?"
Reynolds looked up and found that inside was a man with most of his body charred. At first glance, it looked similar to other glass columns around him, but if you look closely, you will find that the sequence of numbers on this man's face was similar to that of other glass columns.
are different.
Everyone else has an X on the left face and a number on the right face. But his left face is 2 and the right face is 3.
"Serial number 23! How could it be him!" Reynolds: "Why is he here? Isn't he a doctor at the experimental center? Why did he die here?"
"Dead?" Nice sneered: "This guy is not dead."
As Nice's words fell, the man in front of him suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Nice with his cloudy brown eyes.
"This glass pillar blocks out the breath. I didn't notice it before, so I thought there were all dead people here. But this guy made some noise before, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to find him."
Nice's words made Reynolds realize that the "clicking" sound just now was caused by No. 23?
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, vomit," the man numbered 23 said. He seemed to want to laugh wildly to express his arrogance, but under the pouring of cold liquid in the glass column, not only the "haha" laughter turned into "whoosh"
, and got choked.
After a while, he finally regained his breath.
He learned the lesson this time and stopped laughing, but the gloomy expression did not disappear: "No. 1, I didn't expect you to become a traitor... You should be presented obediently like other goods.
This is your destination."
Reynolds snorted through his nose: "You are the one in the cage now. This is your destination, not mine."
No. 23 stared at Reynolds with gloomy eyes: "It won't be long, you will come in too..."
The words on the 23rd suddenly gave Reynolds a bad feeling: "What do you mean?"
No. 23 evoked an evil smile: "What do you mean? You will know soon... Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie vomit..."
Reynolds turned to look at Nice with a worried face, but Nice didn't speak, as if he was waiting for something.
About a few seconds later, Kanter walked over from a distance.
Kanter did not use the psychic belt to speak, but said directly: "He should have activated a certain switch just now and wanted to transmit information to others."
That "click" sound is the sound of the switch being pressed.
Now that he has been exposed, No. 23 did not hide anything. He covered his sore throat from coughing and suppressed the discomfort: "It doesn't matter even if you know it. Soon, the law enforcement order and the hunting order will come soon."
, then you will be finished, vomiting..."
"Is that so?" Nice sneered: "Unfortunately, your idea will be shattered soon. The law enforcement sequence should be your combatants. They all went to the lair. It seems you don't know yet. This also includes
