"What's special about him is... he's a rare talent, proficient in basic soldier training and hand-to-hand combat, and also highly skilled in the use of some unusual weapons..."
[ Dawn Ah ] briefly described the soldier's skills, then looked at Ed and continued:
"His soul is about to dissipate; if his body cannot be reconstructed, he will... vanish forever."
Ed put down his pen and looked up at the player in front of him:
"As you said, if his soul truly has nowhere to go, then even if I rebuild his body, his soul will dissipate along with it when his physical body dies in this world."
He said earnestly to the player in front of him:
"So, even if he were to Descent into this world, he would be different from you. Do you understand?"
Is this telling me... that such a person cannot be resurrected?
The player silently took Ed's hint (or hint) to heart and nodded seriously.
So... can you say yes?
"One last question."
"My lord, may I ask..."
Ed's deep emerald green single eye scrutinized the player before him:
Is he your friend?
Seeing the questioning look in the other person's eyes, [ Dawn Ah ] ultimately decided not to lie:
"We weren't friends, and we weren't close, but... I just didn't want to see him end up like that."
Ed nodded, looking back at the documents in front of him. The study door had already opened behind [ Dawn Ah ].
"You can go back now. Don't worry, he will Descent to this world."
[ Dawn Ah ] stood up from the chair, looking at the boy in front of him who looked much younger than himself. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the other party was a high-level program, artificial intelligence, or an alien creature in human form.
He bowed deeply from the bottom of his heart, then turned and left the castle.
Li Yu woke up in a corner of the conference room and opened her eyes to see seven or eight professors from different fields surrounding her. On the other side of the screen in front of her was even the attending physician who was thousands of miles away.
Upon seeing him wake up, everyone immediately stopped their discussion and turned their attention to him, awaiting the outcome.
Li Yu nodded seriously and said:
He agreed.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
The doctor on the other end of the screen cut off the communication and then quickly began the operation.
In the conference room, Li Yu was surrounded by professors who recounted in detail her conversation with Ed.
Thousands of miles away, a man in a white coat entered an intensive care unit after being disinfected.
The injured man in the hospital bed was covered in tubes, and the rhythmic dripping sound indicated that he was still alive, but his condition was extremely worrying.
He remains conscious, and doctors are certain this will be his last moment of lucidity; if he loses consciousness again, he will never wake up again.
The doctor came to the bedside and looked at the person in the bed:
"I know you can't speak right now, so you can answer the following questions by blinking. One blink means 'yes,' and two blinks mean 'no.' Do you understand what I'm saying?"
yes.
He appears to be of sound mind.
"Is it possible to enable the extremities, such as fingers or toes, to perform basic movements?"
no.
Therefore, it is impossible to personally sign the consent certificate.
Is your vision normal now?
no.
Looking into the patient's eyes, which were already struggling to focus, the doctor sighed softly and began to briefly explain his treatment plan:
"We have a radical treatment plan that we intend to apply to you. There is a risk of failure, and you may die. Do you agree?"
This time, the wounded soldier on the bed thought for a long time, and finally blinked firmly.
yes.
The doctor nodded, glancing at the bedside camera used to monitor the injured person's condition to ensure it was functioning properly.
Whether from a legal or moral standpoint, he must ensure that the other party is not in a state of coercion.
With everything prepared, the doctor brought out a special helmet that had been pre-sterilized.
He approached the bedside with the helmet in his hand, carefully placed half of it under the wounded soldier's head, and looked earnestly at the weak and listless soldier, saying:
"You've done a great job. If the treatment is successful, you'll have a new life ahead of you."
"Don't think about anything else, just treat it as a long vacation."
He looked into the wounded soldier's eyes and covered the face shield of the folding helmet, which was specially designed for special personnel.
Darkness enveloped the wounded man in his hospital bed. His thoughts were sometimes clear and sometimes muddled, until suddenly his pitch-black vision brightened, and a familiar string of words appeared before him:
[Identity verification successful, login process initiated]
The next instant, a strange feeling of falling, something that only occurs in dreams, enveloped him.
The wounded man's body trembled suddenly, then his breathing and heartbeat returned to a steady state.
In a secret chamber of the castle, Ed is personally assembling this genuine " Soul Returner ".
As a unique and special individual, he needed to ensure that the other party had a deeper understanding of this place.
Simply put, Ed needs to tell this person what can and cannot be said.
The matter of resurrecting aliens (people from another world) by exploiting them is never a trivial matter. Li Yu can obviously keep it a secret, but this soldier may not be so sure.
Even if he's a good person, if he's a big mouth, he might inevitably leak some information to the players.
And the more unreliable the news, the faster it spreads. Ed didn't want a bunch of rotten old fogies and kids whose values hadn't even formed yet trying to reopen this place through various means.
His answer to this was only two words: No.
Do they really think aliens are philanthropists?
He will definitely review such matters personally in the future, and will conduct a comprehensive evaluation from a value perspective, striving to make transactions between the two worlds as fair as possible.
By accessing the soldier's physical parameters online, Ed tried his best to recreate a body from the other world for him, in order to help him adapt to this world more quickly.
Therefore, as a level zero player who cannot be resurrected, the soldier's initial body in this world also received a little bit of Ed's blessing, with each of his initial attributes increasing by an extra point.
Aside from its special attributes, the focus was still on [ Plant Compatibility ].
But there's nothing that can be done about it, since Ed's power is derived from plants, and it's inevitable that some vegetable juice will be added.
After a while, the man in front of her opened his eyes.
At this moment, he resembled Neo from " The Matrix," who had just awakened, his body covered in tubes formed from mutated vines.
Feeling himself suspended in mid-air, he instinctively began to struggle.
The swaying vines quickly caught Ed's attention. The boy looked up at the man and smiled, saying:
"Welcome to this World of Disorder, true ' Soul Returner '."
