Under the fusion control ability of Yulu Zheliu, in the sealed room, the three criminal brothers were "executed" by the God of Death before being executed by humans...
After the spirit body of the second child appeared, it didn't even go through the process of becoming an "earth-bound spirit". The chain on his chest began to collapse instantly, and a "black hole" appeared in his chest. At the same time, the spirit body mutated and a mask appeared...
When normal, the spirit body will absorb the spirit particles and expand. However... at this time, the surrounding area is completely under the control of Mole City, and there are no spirit particles for it to absorb.
The body that was supposed to swell now seems to be just the bones being stretched, and the "virtual" outer skin is now completely torn...
After a moment, it turned into a skeletal hollow that looked like a stick figure that had been forcibly stretched, and... fell to the ground and howled.
When he was still a human before, he was not so sensitive to the spiritual pressure of Mole City and Yilong, but now he has become a "hollow" who is also a spiritual child. Suddenly, under this spiritual pressure gap, he fell to the ground and crawled. Can't get up.
[I will never let you go even if I die] is just an empty talk after all...
As for Yilong and Mole City, they didn't pay attention to this person at this time, their attention was entirely on the other soul!
At this time, he looked a little strange.
"Did you do anything?" Mole City asked after a moment of silence.
"Hey, hey, hey, why don't you just make some excuses if the experiment fails? You are doing it from the beginning to the end, and you have integrated with the surroundings. What should I use for my hands and feet?" Yilong said disdainfully.
Mole City was silent for another moment...
Yilong took the initiative and said, "First of all, let's make sure, what is this thing?"
What they saw in front of Mole City and Yilong was a spirit that seemed fine at first glance, but...
If you look closely, you will find that it is missing something important - there is no "chain".
"Chains" represent the fetters of the soul. Generally, souls in this world have "chains", otherwise they should appear directly in Soul Society and become truly "whole".
Other souls whose "chains" have collapsed due to lingering for too long will become "virtual".
But Mole City could feel that the spirit in front of him was not a "trick"...
What's even more striking is that while he is missing the "chain", there is a "black hole" on his chest - this is a symbol of "emptiness"!
But if you say this is a "virtual", it is also missing something crucial.
It’s just that the spirit body doesn’t expand and mutate, but actually… there’s no “mask”?
Theoretically, "Xu" can look like an ordinary person, but the "mask" is a necessary element.
"For the dead, the 'chain' represents the fetters that maintain sanity. For the Hollow, the 'black hole' on the chest represents the emptiness after losing something important, and the 'mask' represents the part that wants to be hidden and disguised. , or rather...the abandoned part, just like the unconscious wildness." Yilong said slowly.
"The abandoned part?" Mole City asked back.
The idea that "chains" and "black holes" are symbols has been around for a long time in Soul Society, but "mask" is a "part that is thrown into the unconscious". This is the first time Mole City has heard of it.
and……
This statement faintly stung Mole City!
"Maybe." Yilong had a confident smile on his face, but said something uncertain.
"Is it possible...Okay, but first of all, he...it's not a void." Mole City looked at the transformed soul and said.
"That's right, congratulations, you have discovered a new species... maybe." Yilong said, applauding, and still sounded uncertain.
Of course, this sounds like a strange thing to Mole City!
"How about it? Do you want to send him to reincarnation to try?" Yilong continued to smile.
But the next moment, Mole City took action and completely wiped out the spirit body of the experimental subject, and then...
"One of the broken paths: Chong." Mole Cheng raised his finger, and an impact directly shattered the second's virtual mask.
After being defeated by the power of death, Lao Er's soul was purified...
"It's a pity" that the Gate of Hell then appeared and pulled it in - its sins during its lifetime were too serious and there was no chance of being purified and sent to the Soul Society.
At least Mole City feels it is a pity. If he can go to Soul Society, Mole City will definitely do so. After all, the experiment is over, and purifying the void is what the Shinigami should do.
As for the experimental subjects...
"It seems that you have also discovered it." Yilong sounded surprised, but also with a sense of matter-of-factness.
"Why? Why is this happening!" Mole City had some emotional fluctuations - this is, very disappointing.
It is true that the soul just now did not disappear, but...
But it’s not considered “complete”!
An ordinary Shinigami, no matter how high his spiritual pressure or captain level, would find it difficult to discover - the transformed soul no longer has the "support" effect.
To use the metaphor that Ichiryu just explained to Hiyo, the "wholesale" being the souls of human beings in this world play a role in supporting this "seesaw"-like world.
But the soul just now no longer has this effect.
Even if he could be reincarnated as a human being, it would be meaningless to the God of Death, Soul Society, and this world...!
That's why Mole City directly "destroyed" it.
Faced with Mole City's questioning, Yilong said calmly: "Who knows... maybe I gave up too much. Maybe this is life."
"How did you know?" Mole City calmly asked.
A "whole" has a negligible impact on the world, just like a grain of sand...
Mole City is keenly aware of this because it has been observing with the ability to fuse all things and the spirit body that controls it.
But Yilong...
"It's just a trivial little ability." Yilong didn't mean to explain in detail.
"It seems that there are some minor problems with my experiment." Mole City didn't hesitate.
"Yeah, very small." Yilong nodded.
"My ability is insufficient, and I need...more experiments! Are you willing to take the initiative to help me?" Mole City asked pointedly.
The tone emphasized "active", and it seemed that... he didn't care whether it was really "active" or not.
…
At the same time, the young prison guard who went to have lunch took a few more glances at the long scroll in the prison corridor...
It is said that this is also a replica of an ancient mural from the Starry Dynasty, which depicts scenes of executions by ancient people.
Some show human beings turning into monsters after being executed, some show the person being executed ascending to heaven, and some of the most incomprehensible and inexplicably creepy ones... There are pictures of some people being transformed into "black holes" after being executed in strange ways. , but a "weirdo" with an expressionless face...
"Really, this kind of thing is still hanging...what an era." The young guard looked at the expressionless weirdo, shuddered, and then left quickly.
At the end of this antique mural is a monster that disappears in a "black hole".
