Ling Yi was naturally quite tired after working all night. After handing everything over to White Queen, he slept until 3:30 in the afternoon.
"If Goupi's Li Qiang, he won't need to sleep." Ling Yi rolled his eyes while brushing his teeth and washing his face.
Logically speaking, with his current soul strength, he could go without sleep for several days and nights without any problem.
But that's not the case.
Ling Yi then understood the reason.
Soul strength is one thing, but whether or not to use it is up to Ling Yi himself.
If Ling Yi is constantly consuming his soul power, he naturally won't feel tired.
But would Ling Yi waste his soul power for no reason? Of course not.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he absorbed a large amount of soul power in the Resident Evil World.
But once this stuff is used up, it's not so easy to replenish.
Given Ling Yi's stinginess, he naturally wouldn't waste his soul power on this.
Just then, Ling Yi's phone rang. Ling Yi looked at the caller ID and saw it was Ling Yi Wang Daquan, his former supervisor.
Why is this guy calling me?
Ling Yi answered the phone out of curiosity, and then heard Manager Wang's sinister voice.
" Ling Yi, very well, you're awesome, you little bastard. I'm finished, and you won't get away with it either."
"Oh, and then what? Are you going to get Humanity Sect?"
How did you know?
"That's true. I was just thinking about some tropes in novels; there seem to be quite a few of these brainless plot points."
"Hmph, so what if you know? I spent 30,000 yuan, and if I can't get better with my own two legs, then you'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, haha!"
"That laugh was awful, I'm hanging up!"
At this moment, White Queen ran out to join the fun, asking expectantly, " Ling Yi, is it time for your moment to show off?"
"We're just ordinary people. We need to know how to use the law to protect ourselves. What are you pretending for? Do you think this is a novel?"
"Huh? They're about to come knocking on your door to beat you up, and you're not going to fight back? Are you just going to sit here and wait to get beaten up?" White Queen asked, somewhat puzzled.
Ling Yi held up two fingers, "Two things!"
"First, this is Dragon Country, the safest country in the world, bar none."
"Secondly, most of the scenes in the novel involving showing off and getting slapped in the face are illegal and must never be done."
White Queen asked speechlessly, "And then?"
"Help me find out who Manager Wang has Hire, and where they are now."
"Then what!"
"Of course, call the police!"
So Ling Yi dialed the police and told the officers about the threats Wang Da had made against him and the information about those thugs.
After settling everything down, Ling Yi said with a serious expression, "Why resort to physical force when you can solve problems with your brain?"
White Queen didn't know what to say. The petite and adorable projection bit her finger and looked at Ling Yi as if he were an alien.
"By the way, how's the game going?"
The projection of the White Queen mimicked Ling Yi's gesture, extending three fingers.
You've earned three small goals.
Ling Yi didn't say anything, but silently opened the mobile banking app.
His phone was always set to block unknown messages, so he didn't notice the bank transfer notification.
After seeing the long string of numbers on her mobile banking account, she looked at White Queen with a puzzled expression.
How did you do that?
The White Queen proudly recounted her actions, then looked at Ling Yi like a child awaiting praise.
"You did a great job this time, I'm very satisfied. I'll buy you some candy later."
The White Queen rolled her eyes. "I'm going to make virtual games."
"Etc!"
"Um?"
"I think it's better to forget about it. I just thought about it, and it's not really appropriate for virtual games to be released now."
Virtual games are having a significant impact on the world today.
The emergence of such a technology, which transcends several levels, is bound to cause considerable trouble.
Ling Yi has no ambition. He has enough money and is content with achieving financial freedom. He doesn't necessarily want to become the world's richest man, nor does he crave fame or glory.
That's all meaningless.
At that moment, Ling Yi received a call from the police.
He told Ling Yi over the phone that the thugs Hire by Manager Wang had been arrested and had confessed everything.
Ling Yi expressed his gratitude, and after hanging up the phone, he said to White Queen, "See, this is the speed of the Dragon Country."
Without saying a word, the White Queen vanished.
The White Queen developed a great curiosity about the Dragon Country, as she was born in the Ugly Nation, which seemed almost unimaginable to her.
Ling Yi was in a good mood. He had nothing to do, had just returned from another time travel, and didn't want to travel back yet.
His plan was to traverse the trek every three days.
There are so many souls that travel through time; even if he travels through time once every second, he still can't capture them all.
Even time travel requires a balance of work and rest.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi's Ying Yi and he appeared in the Underworld.
The White Queen, who was browsing news online, was suddenly projected onto the screen due to a change in network location.
Where am I?
" The Underworld!" Ling Yi explained as he walked out of the office.
"There's some unusual energy in the air!" the White Queen exclaimed immediately after taking a look.
Ling Yi was taken aback, but before he could ask anything, Empress White Queen continued.
"This energy is somewhat similar to soul power, but it is purer and more concentrated."
"The other components of the air are not much different from those in the mortal world."
"If the Underworld is where souls reside, then it's understandable that the air contains the power of souls."
"After all, the soul needs to replenish its soul power to maintain its form."
Watching the little girl earnestly reasoning, Ling Yi nodded. Sure enough, the White Queen was his greatest gain in Resident Evil.
However, Ling Yi wouldn't say such praise to White Queen, otherwise, wouldn't that little girl's tail be wagging in the air?
" The Underworld is empty now..."
Ling Yi told the little girl how he was hit by a car and died, how he was Revive by the previous King Yama, how he obtained the Yama Token, and how he became the new King Yama of the Underworld in a daze.
"It's not good for the Underworld to be empty like this. Do you have any suggestions?" Ling Yi asked.
White Queen shook her head. "I'll conduct an experiment first."
As White Queen spoke, she released a clone from the Yang Token Space.
The moment the clone appeared in the Underworld, its body began to exhibit abnormal reactions.
"How are you feeling right now?" the White Queen asked the clone.
"I feel terrible, I'm getting... weak!"
Ling Yi and White Queen both watched, and after a moment, they both came to their conclusion: it wasn't weakness, it was decay.
The clone's body aged and decayed at an extremely rapid rate, turning into a handful of dust and falling to the ground within minutes.
Only a fragmented soul with a faint consciousness remained in the same spot.
This fragmented soul looked as fragile as a candle flame that could be extinguished at any moment.
It was about to disappear.
Ling Yi used the Soul Repair function of the Yin Token, consuming a portion of his soul power to make the incomplete Soul Transformation whole again.
What made Ling Yi frown was that the soul was still disintegrating, and it was uncontrollable.
Ling Yi realized that this soul did not belong to this world, so the rules of the Underworld automatically rejected it.
It's like... automatically removing viruses.
After the soul completely dissipated, Ling Yi looked at White Queen.
"W-what's wrong?"
"Don't misuse your soul power!"
This clone has a fragmented soul; it must be because the White Queen used the authority she granted her and used a portion of her soul power.
Clones, under normal circumstances, only have consciousness and no soul. However, as long as they live in a world with complete rules, clones will gradually gain the recognition of the world and will gradually develop a soul.
Especially in this world where clone consciousness is born, the speed at which souls are born would be extremely fast.
A complete soul may be born within a few months.
The premise is that consciousness is complete and possesses the potential to become a true life form.
If consciousness is incomplete and lacks autonomy, it cannot be recognized by the World Rule, and a soul cannot be born.
Just like the White Queen, although she behaves indistinguishably from a real person in the Resident Evil World, her consciousness is still incomplete. She cannot be considered a true intelligent life form, but only a top-level artificial intelligence.
However, the clones created by the White Queen cannot have complete consciousness. Complete consciousness has too many variables and could easily get out of control.
These clones are more accurately described as puppets with a certain degree of intelligence.
It's really unnecessary to waste soul power on these puppets.
"But without using soul power, these clones will become very stupid," the White Queen whispered.
"I remember Umbrella Corporation had many ways to control people, like the Spider Controller."
"Fine, I just wanted to study soul power," White Queen said, pouting. She could sense Ling Yi's dissatisfaction.
"You'll have plenty of opportunities to research in the future, but not now."
Ling Yi didn't distrust White Queen; rather, he had his own concerns.
He was now almost certain that the power of the soul must not be harvested indiscriminately.
Resident Evil is special because the souls of zombies are already incomplete, and even if Ling Yi doesn't harvest them, they will gradually dissipate.
However, in other worlds, even without the Heavenly Dao, indiscriminately harvesting complete souls would still incur karmic Karma.
It's quite possible that if you harvest too much, the World Rule will treat you like a virus and eliminate you.
The clone's incomplete soul was erased by the rules because it did not belong to the Underworld of this world.
This served as a reminder to Ling Yi.
The absence of Heavenly Dao does not mean the absence of its own operating mechanism.
Looking at the sky above the Underworld, Ling Yi had a thought and Teleportation to the core area of Underworld...
