Rebirth in America

?? At noon, New York Cemetery.

A yellow man wearing a white shirt and black trousers walked alone among the tombstones.

His nose is high, and at first glance he looks different from those Asians. If you look closely, you can see signs of mixed race on his face.

This handsome Asian-looking man is Alex. He is disguised, his hair is blackened with a special dye, his skin is also coated with a layer of yellow liquid, and his black eyes are due to wearing contact lenses. From head to toe, he looked like an Oriental. No matter whether it is the way he walks or the way he talks, there is no flaw.

Alex found that his fake identity suited him better, as he didn't need to impersonate someone else, but could instead act like his previous self. Of course, his image and appearance are definitely different from his previous life. With such good hardware conditions, he looks more like Daniel Wu after his disguise.

After realizing how powerful his abilities were, he became even more eager to improve his abilities. After so many years of training, he only improved the fastest after killing Kane.

"Is it really necessary to defeat monsters to upgrade?" Sometimes, Alex would laugh at himself when he thought about this matter.

For unknown things, you must first put away your fear before you can become familiar with it and understand it.

At the beginning, he was a little worried that absorbing Kane's soul energy would have side effects.

If Kane's soul is making noise in his head, will he become schizophrenic if this continues?

With such worries, he groped carefully.

After many days of observation and understanding. He slowly understood. Kane's soul energy had long since disintegrated and been completely absorbed by his spiritual space, leaving no trace at all.

He speculated that after death, the soul would remain in the body for the time being and would not be exposed until seven days or until the body was burned. Without the protection of the body, the soul will soon be eroded and decomposed, and then integrate into nature and become part of the universe.

When a person is born, his soul has only a little aura and has not grown up yet. As the body grows. It is not only necessary to absorb nutrients from the outside and supply them to the body. We must also absorb the energy of the universe to provide it for the growth of the soul.

This process is also a process of self-formation. Children who are just born have not yet formed a "self" and cannot distinguish themselves from others.

After someone dies. The body decays and decomposes and returns to nature. The soul will also be affected. It loses the protection of the body and undergoes a series of changes. Alex is still half-understanding of the specific changes. In short, the soul energy will change into another form.

Strong souls may have different results. They can sublimate into another form. The souls of ordinary people can only be eroded, rotten, and decomposed like fruits that fall into the mud, and finally become the energy of the universe, completing the last link of reincarnation.

It happened at the moment of Kane's death, when the fruit fell to the ground, and was intercepted by Alex's ability. Kane's soul did not return to nature, but was absorbed and transformed by the spiritual space, eventually becoming the nutrition for the growth of the space.

Only in this way can Alex's abilities be greatly improved. You know, the growth of space usually relies on Alex alone, but now that there is another person's soul energy, a big change has immediately occurred.

At least Alex can now activate two puppets at the same time. Although the cost is a bit higher, it can be regarded as almost doubled. This kind of improvement, for him, is like flying.

In order to speed up the improvement, after Alex repeatedly confirmed that there were no side effects, he immediately found the nearest cemetery near New York, Greenwood Cemetery in Manhattan, Brooklyn. This cemetery has a history of hundreds of years and was built in the mid-19th century.

The cemetery is surrounded by highways, residential areas, factories and other construction facilities. There is also a Newton River nearby, so it is not very remote. As early as decades ago, this cemetery has become a tourist project. 500,000 tourists visit this place a year, ranking tied with Niagara Falls.

In addition to large and small tombstones, there are also several tall Gothic buildings in the cemetery. These are tombs funded by certain celebrities. From the outside, it looks like an ancient temple, with an elegant and heavy feel.

There was no one on this path.

He chose the time well, as not many tourists would come to visit the cemetery at this time. Even at noon, when the sun is strong, standing in the cemetery, you can clearly feel the coldness all over your body, as if your whole body is immersed in water.

After absorbing Kane's soul energy, Alex's perception ability has greatly increased and he is very sensitive to various energies. When I first entered the cemetery, this feeling was not very strong. The longer I stayed, the clearer the feeling became.

You may have had a similar feeling before, but that feeling flickered in and out and was very vague.

Now he could clearly feel that around his body, there was a kind of negative energy, like water and mist, flowing slowly in the cemetery.

The reason why this energy is called negative energy is that in addition to feeling cold, it can also calm people's emotions and clear their minds. On the contrary, the kind of fiery, exciting, eager, passionate, etc., are quickly neutralized and dissipated in this kind of environment.

Alex wanted to absorb this negative energy into the spiritual space, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not absorb it. Soon, he discovered that his body exuded energy that was opposite to this negative energy. It was not only found in him, but also in any living person.

This feeling was like water and oil, unable to mix with each other. He tried for a while but to no avail. In the end, Alex determined that there was no way he could absorb the negative energy in the cemetery.

At the same time, he also observed some special phenomena.

In the cemetery, someone happened to be buried, and the hearse slowly drove into the cemetery carrying the coffin. He could clearly feel that there was a mass of energy following the coffin to the cemetery. This energy is different from the negative energy in the cemetery. At least it is a group of energy that never disperses.

Alex originally wanted to touch this ball of energy. It's a pity that I couldn't find the opportunity and had to give up. He studied the energy in the cemetery for a while, but was still unable to absorb it.

"Perhaps it's because the energy around the cemetery has already decomposed and deteriorated. If it were just someone who died, there shouldn't be a problem." Alex thought to himself, and he immediately turned around and left, finding a nearby hospital.

As soon as he entered the hospital, Alex immediately felt that he was surrounded by an energy similar to that of a cemetery. After all, people often die here, and the soul will slowly leave the body after death. Once exposed. The soul energy will change, decay, and deteriorate.

Now he was finally sure. This energy is what is left by the dead, but the negative energy in the hospital is much less than in the cemetery. What's more, there are living people walking around in the hospital to dissipate and neutralize this energy.

And there is. He could feel it clearly in the hospital. There were masses of energy floating back and forth around him. Feeling slightly. This ball of energy was similar to the one he encountered in the cemetery.

They may have different shapes, sizes, and energy levels, but they are essentially the same.

These clumps of energy are like unconscious gelatinous matter. It floats regularly in the space of the hospital. Even if they encounter a living person, they will not make any evasive movements. However, when a living person passes through them, each ball of energy will change slightly, as if a small part has been taken away.

Maybe it wasn't taken away, but part of it was broken down and lost.

Whenever he passed through this ball of energy, he immediately felt that this energy was exactly the same as the energy he came into contact with when he copied other people's soul information.

"It seems that this is the energy of the soul that just died! It has not been completely corroded, decomposed and deteriorated. I don't know if I can absorb it."

Alex was overjoyed and immediately thought of a way to bring this energy into the spiritual space, and then let it decompose in the space and become nutrients for the growth of the space.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it in.

This made him feel a little strange, and he soon thought that maybe he didn't know what this soul energy looked like when he was alive. So he specifically looked for people who were about to die, trying to figure out how to capture soul energy.

You must observe what changes will occur at the moment of death.

There are often dead people in hospitals, but it's a pity that Alex has no way to get in touch with them. He thought of several ways, but failed to find a chance to meet the dying patient. Under the eyes of doctors and nurses, he could not get close to the patient no matter what.

In desperation, Alex could only leave the hospital and come to the street. He was thinking about whether to look for people from the "Kowloon Society" again and kill one or two to verify his conjecture.

After returning home and removing the disguise effect, Alex thought about it for a while. He knew that the people in the "Kowloon Club" must have been on guard now, and they could only wait for a while before talking.

Alex still had a way to find a dying person. He called Chuck and asked him to find such a person.

"Huh? Boss! Why do you suddenly want to find someone who is dying?"

Chuck was very puzzled by this request. It was understandable that he was asked to find a woman, but a dead man? What a strange hobby.

Alex did not answer this question. He just urged Chuck again to find a way to find a dying person. No matter how he died, as long as Alex could be present when he died.

"It's very simple. You can find many elderly people who are about to die in places like nursing homes."

"I want to find something that doesn't require waiting. Is there any way you can help me find it?"

"Well, this is quite easy to handle. I have a friend who works in hospice care, and several people die there every day."

"That's great. Please help me ask. It would be best if I could come and see the person a few minutes before he dies."

After finishing speaking, Alex hung up the phone. He thought about it and felt that this method was good. You can try it and see if you can capture other people's souls.

Chuck was very efficient and quickly helped him make arrangements. After all, people passed away every day in this place, so there was no need to make an appointment.

With the help of Chuck's friend, Alex successfully came to a room where an old man lay. He was said to have been terminally ill for many years. I have been suffering for a long time and I just recently moved out of the hospital because the doctor has made it clear that the treatment cannot continue.

The old man's family no longer cared about his life and death. They signed the agreement, paid the fee and left.

In addition to Alex, there was also a young black woman present. She was a friend of Chuck's for a long time and specialized in nursing.

"Hello! I was introduced here by Chuck..." Alex said softly, for fear of disturbing the old man lying on the bed.

The young black woman nodded to him and ignored him. Instead, she continued to sit in front of the old man's bed and comforted him softly.

Alex stood aside and listened. He looked at the old man and modeled him in his mental space. After the puppet model was built, he made an excuse to step forward and touch the old man's hand, which was a wrinkled hand.

After confirming that the old man's soul information had been copied, Alex immediately discovered that the doll in the spiritual space came to life, and it was also a healthy old man doll. The doll was a little surprised at first, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, and thought he was in heaven or hell.

At this time, Alex had no time to instill various ideas into the doll, nor did he control its activities in the mental space. Instead, he continued to focus on the old man in the real world.

After almost half an hour of this, the old man on the hospital bed finally took his last breath. At the moment he died, Alex could clearly feel the energy in the other person's body changing from light to dark, from sun to sun. Negative. But even so, the ball of energy still did not escape from the body and still stayed in the body.

"How is this going?"

Alex found it a little strange. Logically speaking, at the moment the old man died, this energy would be captured by the doll in the spiritual space.

Unexpectedly, this ball of energy remained unmoved and still stayed in the body.

At this time, the doll in the mental space is still the same as before, and nothing has changed. Alex thought for a while and decided to try again, so he pretended to say goodbye to the old man and stepped forward to touch the old man's body again.

He used his own abilities to try to pull the old man's soul energy out of his dead body. First, he let his own positive energy invade the old man's body, and then suddenly exerted force outward.

This time, the old man's energy was actually pulled out of his body, forming a ball of negative energy floating in the house. Sensitive people may be able to detect at this time that the temperature of the room suddenly drops a bit.

Even if Alex tried to pull out the old man's soul energy, he still couldn't absorb this energy into his own spiritual space.

Faced with this situation, Alex was finally able to determine that two conditions must be met for the spiritual space to absorb soul energy.

The first condition is that UU Reading www.uukanshu.net needs to copy to the target puppet. In other words, the puppet must be built and touch the target.

The second condition is to kill the target with your own hands, so that the target's soul can be locked in the spiritual space through the resentment generated by the killing.

Only when these two conditions are met, can Alex absorb the other party's soul energy into the spiritual space and make it the material for growth in the space.

These two restrictions are quite stringent and may change further in the future as capabilities grow.

After thinking about it, Alex felt a little bit difficult to deal with. After all, he was not a natural killer. He would kill people for no reason and intercept the soul energy of the other party, which became a growth experience for his own abilities. This has violated his principles of life. Unless he has a grudge target like Kane or Crazy Old Man, it will be really difficult for him to attack.

"How can we solve this problem? Is it possible to really run away and become a killer?"

Alex thought to himself. After much thought, he couldn't think of a good solution. In the end, I can only put it aside for the time being and wait until I figure it out before doing this. (To be continued...)
