My Endless Life

The evacuation of Rubino City is about to begin, and Li Qi has his own things to do.

Although it was just a sudden idea of ​​Li Qi to leave Emma alive, he did have a conjecture that he wanted to experiment with.

This conjecture is a bit "cruel" and "inhumane".

That is to transform living organisms into puppets that can be controlled by Li Qi.

The Scorpion of the Red Sand sent a congratulatory message.

Ahem, although this idea is somewhat similar to the red-haired puppet in a certain Naruto, Li Qi does have this idea.

He once tried to transform animals such as rabbits or chickens into puppets, but he didn't know what went wrong. The puppets transformed from biological organisms would quickly lose their vitality and become pure puppets made of flesh and blood.

Or this is the normal phenomenon.

No matter what kind of life it is, it will lose its life after losing the important organs that maintain life.

Puppets made of this kind of flesh and blood are completely useless and are completely waste, so this idea has been shelved by Li Qi.

Until...

Li Qi caught Jinghua.

Although Li Qi didn't want to do cruel things, after all, he thought he was a human being, he could decisively kill opponents or enemies, or obtain information from enemies by torture.

But he really couldn't transform a living person into a puppet who was likely to lose consciousness.

This has nothing to do with good or evil, it's a bottom line issue for being a human being.

But now Li Qi's feelings are gradually indifferent, and his desire for knowledge about the "mystery" is about to overwhelm his humanity.

And the arrival of the fog zone this time has become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Chasing Light Society can cruelly turn the fog explorers in the safe zone into monsters, so Li Qi can naturally turn the people of the Chasing Light Society into puppets.

This is not cruel, it is revenge for those fog explorers who should not have died in the city.

Li Qi knew that this was just a hypocritical excuse.

But sometimes, crossing the bottom line only requires such a hypocritical excuse.

So... Jinghua became the first "victim" of Li Qi's puppet making.

"You...you...are...back...?"

When Li Qi just returned home, Jinghua, who had been half-puppetized, welcomed Li Qi in a dry and mechanical voice.

Li Qi looked inside the house.

This former senior member of the Light Chasing Society, had more than half of her body replaced by special relic materials.

The left hand, right leg, one eye, and a small part of the shoulder were replaced with brown wood.

But even so, she was still alive.

And her body strength was one point stronger than before.

After all, part of the body was replaced by materials, and the wood and part of the relic metal that could withstand swords were stronger than human flesh.

The only regret was that after a long period of experimentation, Jinghua's sanity collapsed a little, and her speech became stumbling.

It seemed that she was gradually losing her humanity.

And the initiator of all this, Li Qi, did not express anything special after seeing this scene.

He took off his coat, put it on the hanger, walked to Jinghua and checked her up and down, then asked:

"Is there anything wrong with your body?"

"My left hand... I don't feel anything... but... I can move... no problem..."

Jinghua answered truthfully, then raised her head, with some fear and pleading in her eyes:

"Can... can't... I don't... continue? I... I can say everything... I can do everything..."

"Sorry, there are still some key issues I don't understand, you can't rest yet, as long as you solve those problems, you will be free."

Li Qi painted the pie skillfully, and patted Jinghua on the head at the same time, as if to comfort her.

He did have some issues that he didn't understand, that is, the issues about life and soul.

Although Jinghua has been modified by Li Qi in many places, Li Qi has not touched the life-threatening places at all.

That is the internal organs and brain of the human body.

Things like limbs can be connected to the body by building something similar to a magic circuit, which can allow people to drive new limbs as if they are using their own original limbs.

Jinghua's left hand and right leg are connected to the body in this way and are driven by Jinghua herself.

Otherwise, her left hand and right leg are just decorations.

As for the eyes, Li Qi replaced Jinghua's with a prosthetic eye that he made himself with farsightedness.

But unfortunately, Jinghua's eye is still blind, even if Li Qi connects the nerves of the eye to the circuit in the prosthetic eye.

Maybe there is a problem somewhere.

But this aspect is harmless.

Li Qi wants to save the alienated girl Emma, ​​and the most important problem to be solved is actually the problem of life.

Emma's body has merged with the relics, and the alien life has eroded Emma's body, causing her body to transform in an irreversible direction.

In order to prevent Emma from becoming a monster who has lost her mind, Li Qi can only remove all the alienated parts of Emma's body.

Only in this way can Emma's sanity be preserved.

But 80% of Emma's body has become a monster.

In other words, if you want Emma to retain the consciousness of "humanity" and survive, you need to remove everything except the brain and heart.

But human life is a whole. Although the brain and heart are important, other internal organs are equally important.

Lungs, liver, stomach, kidneys... If the human body loses any part, it will die completely.

If Li Qi wants to save Emma's life, he needs to find a way to save human life even if these organs are removed.

At present, Li Qi only has Jinghua as an experimental subject, so he can only conduct experiments on her.

Coincidentally, Li Qi's magic level... Qi level has risen to the level of a second-level magician, and many magics can be performed through physical contact.

Including some healing magic.

Perhaps, through these magics and the relic materials brought from the association, a way to preserve Jinghua's life can be found.

"So, be patient for a while."

Controlling Jinghua with silk thread, Li Qi put on his own surgical gloves, and under the other's horrified and desperate eyes, he reached out to her.

...

With the retreat plan given by Li Qi, the association's retreat plan finally began, and the residents of the entire Rubino City moved to the safe area behind.

Among them, due to the lack of manpower, the fog explorers who were in training had to join the team to maintain order.

This included Ronnie and Rumi.

"Ronnie..."

Rumi, who was responsible for maintaining order in the team, found Ronnie during the break.

He looked at the boy who sat there without saying a word, his blond hair had dimmed a lot, sighed, and handed him the food:

"Eat something, it is said that we have to retreat overnight, so we still have a lot of work to do."

"Well..."

Ronnie responded calmly, took the bread from Rumi's hand, and ate it in silence.

Rumi sat next to Ronnie, watching the retreating team, and began to chatter:

"This time we will retreat to Green Shade City in the rear. You know Green Shade, it's the city we always said we would go there for tourism. I heard that there is a large lake outside the city, which is a famous tourist destination...

"However, there are more than 100,000 people in Rubino City, and I don't know if Green Shade City can squeeze in... By the way, I saw Li Qi yesterday. The badge of the Tanwu family on him has changed from the residual fog level to the heavy fog level...

"This should be the youngest heavy fog level in history."

Rumi sighed, saying a lot in less than a minute, and his chattering appearance was almost exactly the same as Ronnie before.

Ronnie, on the other hand, seemed to have become Rumi, silent and silent, just eating bread silently.

Rumi didn't care, and kept talking, as if he didn't care whether Ronnie was listening or not.

After a long while, the two finished their dinner, and Ronnie finally spoke:

"... I want to stay."

"I heard that there is...what in Green Shade City? What did you say just now?"

Rumi, who was still talking about Green Shade City, took a while to react to what Ronnie said, and asked in surprise:

"You want to stay?!"

Ronnie stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth, swallowed it quickly, and nodded:

"I want to stay."

"Don't joke, Rubino will soon be swallowed by the fog area. By then, this place may not become several layers of fog areas. You are only at the mist level..."

Rumi frowned.

As the fog area is about to fall, the top leaders of the association also announced some news that low-level fog explorers can currently know.

After the fog area covers the safe area, it does not mean that it will become the first layer of fog area because it is close to the first layer of fog area.

Instead, it will automatically be divided into fog areas with similar characteristics according to the characteristics after the fog area falls.

That is to say, if the city of Rubino is completely covered by the fog area, according to the characteristics shown in the city before, the city will be divided into the second layer of fog area.

It will appear in the colorless plain. Even if some fog explorers follow the original route back to the location of Rubino City in the future, they will not be in Rubino City, but in the first layer of the Immortal Forest.

This involves the issue of space, and the association did not say much.

But most fog explorers do not need to understand the mystery.

Rubino City will soon be divided into the second layer of fog area, they only need to know this.

However, because Rubino City is about to be covered by the second layer of fog area, some fog explorers will choose to stay here.

They need to determine the next position of Rubino City in the fog area, plan the route, and determine the danger level of Rubino City, which is about to become a "relic".

The lowest level of these fog explorers is the residual fog level, and the leader is a fog explorer at the mist level.

It is impossible for Ronnie to stay here.

"I will ask the teacher to help me."

Ronnie said calmly.

Rumi was stunned: "Teacher... How could Li Qi help you?"

"I don't know, but... I will let the teacher help me... even if it costs everything."

Ronnie held the crystal on his chest, with the flame of hatred burning in his eyes.

Although Ronnie knew almost nothing, he knew one thing clearly.

The fog zone was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

It was not the fog zone that killed Emma, ​​but another unknown organization!

That organization was the culprit that caused Rubino City to experience all this!
