Chapter 256 Chapter 253 Resurrection of the Dead

The deceased's implants constantly emit mentally polluting signals, a phenomenon that caused widespread mental problems among soldiers during the Company's wars. The treatment method at that time was to cremate the deceased as soon as possible after identifying the identity, and let the ashes return to ashes. But later generations did not expect that in order to make more money from cremation fees, they would dare to store corpses in large quantities.

Despite the protection of dormant martial arts, Zhuang Xuteng still felt uncomfortable, mainly manifested by a buzzing in his head and an unquenchable nausea lingering in his chest and abdomen. He thought it would be better to act as soon as possible, so he quickly opened the freezer and immediately found a body.

This is an old man, his expression is painful, and his tightly furrowed brow seems to indicate that he still has residual muscle strength. Zhuang Xuteng looked at his hands, which were clenched into fists. They were as hard as steel and could hardly be opened. This shows that there is a shadow implant in the old man's body, which worked for a period of time after his death.

"You have money to buy implants, but you don't have money to cremate them?" Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand. He obviously ignored the fact that some people didn't buy their implants by themselves. If the environment was different, he would definitely be able to figure this out quickly, but in this room full of mental interference, his mind was not so bright.

Act quickly, don't waste time - Zhuang Xuteng put his hands on the corpse and began to mobilize the shadow energy and resentment from within his body. He has transformed the Lich Master's necromancy runes into the form of runes used by the Shadow Servants, constantly feeding energy into the corpse, and then trying to control it.

The corpse trembled slightly, and an even more painful expression appeared on its face. Zhuang Xuteng was startled and quickly took a closer look, only to realize that the expression of the corpse did not actually change. "It's probably the mental influence of the surrounding environment..." Zhuang Xuteng slowly exhaled and focused on the control of the spell again.

The Lich Master's necromancy treats the corpse as a lifeless system of flesh and bone and reanimates it by supplying it with energy and control signals. In order to adapt to the different rules of the current world, the spell was modified to add shadow servant energy in addition to the resentment, and the corpse was regarded as a shadow servant at the same time.

Under the influence of continuously strengthening spells, the corpse's ability to move became stronger and stronger, gradually developing from a simple trembling to being able to move its hands and feet. Zhuang Xuteng ordered it to open its clenched fists and relax its expression, which the corpse did immediately. Zhuang Xuteng then ordered the corpse to sit up...

The corpse raised its upper body, then fell heavily, and the back of its head hit the stainless steel bed with a "thud". Zhuang Xuteng was startled, and hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen. Only then he breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one else was disturbed. He continued to cast the spell, and after several failures, he gradually realized that the action of sitting up was a bit "difficult" for the corpse, and it seemed that it didn't know what to do. Only by strengthening control and letting him know how to support his arms and move his center of gravity can he sit up correctly.

There is no problem with the spell, and there is no problem with the energy provided to the corpse, but the operation is not skillful enough-this is obviously the best result. Zhuang Xuteng patiently trained the corpse bit by bit according to the pattern of teaching children how to move, and soon succeeded in making it stand up, stand on the ground, and walk around the field twice.

Through these exercises, he can build a bridge between necromancy and corpse movement. The more he practices and uses more corpses, the smoother he will be able to control the corpse, and the more actions the corpse will be able to perform. Zhuang Xuteng conducted as much training as his resentment and shadow mana could support, and he could already make the corpse squat and stand up - he was very satisfied with today's training.

"Go back and lie down, you can sleep peacefully."

Zhuang Xuteng was just being polite, and it also contained a little idea of ​​emboldening himself. He did not expect that this sentence would have other effects. I saw the corpse lying back on the stainless steel bed, with his hands folded on his chest, his body quickly relaxed, and then he actually took a breath and spit it out. With this breath, a large amount of resentment spewed out, and its concentration was probably equivalent to killing seven or eight people.

Zhuang Xuteng was stunned for a moment, and immediately activated the magic circle on his left hand to absorb the resentment. As a result, not only was all the resentment consumed previously replenished, but the total reserves actually increased.

This was definitely a surprise. In order to defeat Palovic in a one-on-one duel, Zhuang Xuteng almost exhausted all his resentment reserves. In other words, he recovered a little during the rest of the past few days, but it was less than a quarter of the total. He had only heard that people would have a lot of resentment when they died tragically, but since people were unconscious after death, there would be no resentment. The Lich Master calls the remaining energy of the corpse "negative energy" and strictly separates it from "grievance", but the current situation is obviously inconsistent with the theory.

Zhuang Xuteng carefully observed the corpse that he had just tortured: it now looked peaceful, with no expression of pain on its face, and its hands no longer clenched into fists. The posture of folding hands on the chest gives people a sense of peace and calm. It makes people feel that what is gone is gone and there is no need to chase it; what has been suffered has been suffered and there is no need to make it harder.

Scratching his scalp, Zhuang Xuteng felt that he must have been affected by the side effects of the surrounding implants again - his head was buzzing. He briefly tried the Resentful Spirit Servant and found that the resentment absorbed this time was easy to use without any problems. In this case, he must be thinking of making more resentment.

Open the next cabinet, pull out the stainless steel bed, and look at the corpse on it. This is a girl, who seems to have died of trauma - her head is sunken, which must be trauma. Since Zhuang Xuteng has already locked his target on resentment, he must first figure out what he did right before repeating it.

In short, he needs to repeat the previous behavior and then do subtraction. I won't go into the specific process. Zhuang Xuteng tossed around for a whole night and fourteen corpses, and finally found a pattern.

To obtain resentment from a corpse, first of all, the corpse must have a shadow implant, and then its death must be either very sudden or very miserable. In short, it is the kind of death that cannot close its eyes. This kind of corpse is easier to identify. On the one hand, you can rely on the shadow eye to find the weak shadow energy residue, and on the other hand, you can also look at their posture. Corpses whose shadow implants work for a period of time after death will look more painful, angry, struggling, unwilling, tortured... If there is such an expression or body language, it is basically correct.

After that, Zhuang Xuteng had to use the corpse control in the necromancy to make it move, sit up, walk, etc., so that it seemed to be still alive. The last and most important step was to let the corpse lie back and ask it to die well and peacefully. After this set of ritual-like processes were completed, the resentment would emanate from the corpse, as if the corpse had just died.

"There is not so much resentment when a living person dies. Could it be that this thing will ferment, accumulate and increase?" Zhuang Xuteng was a little unsure, but he must believe in the facts first rather than the theory of the lich master. The lich master also admitted that his necromancy would definitely encounter new problems and challenges in the current world, and there would be unknown situations. Zhuang Xuteng believed that the unknown situation did happen, and it was beneficial to him.

It only took one night for Zhuang Xuteng to restore the stock of resentful spirits. Because he had been practicing, on the one hand, he expanded the total amount of resentful spirit storage, and on the other hand, he had to use it to pay for the consumption of the deer hunter device, so he never filled it up. Now he finally has the opportunity to make his "wallet" swell. Now that the pattern has been found, he will be able to absorb enough resentment in one night or half a night.

After being busy all night, his face will definitely not look good the next day, but this is exactly what his colleagues expected. Zhuang Xuteng took every opportunity to take a nap, showing an attitude of "I have to hold on tonight". Everyone ignored him. Anyway, temporary workers in that position usually work for three days, so there is no need to invest too much emotion.

This is just right, Zhuang Xuteng didn't want to leave too much impression on them. He yawned all day and barely completed his work. After changing to the night shift, he said that he could finally sleep.

"Sleeping with a headache will make people stupid." His colleagues finally showed a little concern.

Zhuang Xuteng was just talking. He was busy absorbing resentment and would definitely not sleep. This time he was targeted. According to the shadow signal and the state of the corpse, he found the most suitable target, and then completed the process of controlling the corpse to walk two steps and letting the corpse rest at the fastest speed.

The overall progress was faster than Zhuang Xuteng expected, which also made him discover a phenomenon: the longer the corpse is stored here, the heavier the resentment, and these resentments seem to be the driving force that drives the shadow implant to still be active after death. After he absorbs the resentment, the corpse will no longer have the shadow energy signal, and the shadow side effects of the house will also be reduced. He believes that there is a special dependence between resentment and the shadow implant, resentment drives the implant, and the side effects of the implant produce resentment.

This made Zhuang Xuteng think of dormant martial arts. Dormant martial arts can transfer the side effects of the implant to small animals close to the body. At present, this transfer only involves physical burden. The side effects of the corpse are only mental burdens-after all, the body is dead-if you can figure out how the mental side effects turn into resentment, then you can make dormant martial arts stronger.

This is not all Zhuang Xuteng's gains. He found that his total amount of resentment is actually much more than the theoretical number. Except for being able to support himself when he first got started, Zhuang Xuteng practiced and consumed it, and never really filled up the theoretical value. Now that it has exceeded the theoretical value, he still doesn't feel "full". This was good news, which meant that he could use more resentment to create more resentful spirit servants, and at the same time he could start trying to give the resentful spirits more functions.

On the third night, there was another surprising discovery waiting for Zhuang Xuteng: after his efforts, the side effects of the shadow from the morgue were significantly weakened, which gave Zhuang Xuteng an idea: Would the shadow from the implants inside still have side effects?
