Chapter 279: Believe in Science, There are No Ghosts in This World
Chapter 279: Believe in Science, There are No Ghosts in This World
Soon, information about Qi Yuan was revealed.
The people in the arena had somber expressions.
"Even if he manages to be reborn, he will only have the memories of one year," said a tall woman, her face still adorned with elaborate and exaggerated makeup as if she had just attended a ball and hadn't had time to change.
As Gong Yi Jing spoke, the people in the arena fell silent.
If that voice was true, the world would reset.
Only Reincarnators could return with their memories intact.
They were not among the fortunate Reincarnators.
So, even if they went back ten years, they wouldn't have the memories of the past decade.
Fortunately, the Qi Yuan in the grave before them was also a Reincarnator.
He was the Reincarnator assigned to the Gongyi family among the Seven Martial Stars.
"Hmph, if not for the Su family's interference, we wouldn't have gotten this person!" said a middle-aged man who seemed to have been drained by alcohol and debauchery.
The Su family was also one of the Seven Martial Stars and had a tense relationship with the Gongyi family, often getting the better of them.
During this unexpected incident, the Su family joined forces with other families to suppress the Gongyi family, giving them a dead man as their Reincarnator.
If not for the fact that a living Reincarnator was also assigned to other families, the Gongyi family would not have stood idly by.
"Granduncle has already met with another Reincarnator. For now, let's just finish what we came here to do," Gong Yi Qing spoke, his voice refined yet carrying an air of authority that made others subconsciously feel inferior.
Gong Yi Cai nodded, his eyes slightly clouded, "Give the order to open the coffin and dig up the grave!"
Regardless, they had to see the body.
Immediately, under Li Shenkong's command, many soldiers stepped forward and began to excavate the grave.
As night fell, the grave was illuminated by powerful lights, turning the area as bright as day.
On the side, various specially prepared foods were served, and the over twenty members of the Gongyi family began to eat.
After all, this unexpected event had kept them busy all day, and they hadn't had a chance to eat.
The middle-aged man, exhausted from his indulgences, held his phone and scrolled through its contents, a trace of disdain on his face, "This Reincarnator has a type A3 psychosis and a terminal illness. Even if he's reborn, he probably won't live long, so he's not of much use."
He glanced at the QR code on Qi Yuan's tombstone and saw numerous messages about him.
Type A3 psychosis, accompanied by severe delusions, made communication difficult.
The other members of the Gongyi family agreed with the man's words.
The Qi Yuan before them was indeed unfortunate.
Of course, he was also lucky.
After all, he had gained the chance to live once more.
Even if it was only for a year.
"I estimate he won't be able to witness the emergence of the Hundred Varieties Gate.
And we'll have to wait another ten years," the refined man spoke, his voice strong.
Hearing this, the people in the arena's expressions shifted slightly, filled with anticipation.
"So, we must seize these opportunities and hold them firmly in our hands!" Gong Yi Cai's eyes shone with determination.
Over the past ten years, numerous opportunities had arisen, but most were seized by the other families of the Seven Martial Stars.
To change the future balance of power, they had to make good use of this Reincarnator.
"It's a pity he's already dead; otherwise, we could have made a deal with him!" Gong Yi Jing couldn't help but speak up.
As for the deal, it was simply to send the encrypted text to Qi Yuan, who would then find the Gongyi family in the past and convey the information to them.
In return, the Gongyi family would transfer significant benefits to the Reincarnator.
Of course, such a deal was uncertain.
After all, the Reincarnator held the initiative, and what if they refused to share the encrypted text with the major families?
Hence, facing these Reincarnators, the grand families of the Seven Martial Stars spared no expense, offering women, wealth, and more.
But Qi Yuan was already dead.
A dead man couldn't communicate or cooperate.
The Gongyi family's main force was searching for another person, leaving only this small group behind.
Today's efforts were destined to be in vain.
With the help of several soldiers, the grave was quickly unearthed, revealing the coffin to everyone.
The people in the arena stared at the coffin, their hearts filled with unease.
Gong Yi Jing stepped forward and frowned, "Only his remains are left."
The other Gongyi family members looked at Qi Yuan's bones, their faces filled with uncertainty.
At that moment, Gong Yi Cai spoke, "Let's proceed with the original plan."
Even though Qi Yuan was already dead, they still decided to inform his remains in the coffin of their plan.
After all, what if the remains could hear? What if Qi Yuan's soul was still wandering?
After all, the world could reset in such an absurd way.
If even more absurd things happened... wouldn't that be normal?
"Who will deliver the message?" Gong Yi Cai asked, his voice hoarse.
The over twenty members of the Gongyi family exchanged glances, all showing signs of reluctance.
After all, none of them wanted to speak pointless words to a corpse in the middle of the night.
The man drained by alcohol and debauchery spoke up, "I haven't slept all day."
"It seems like a rejection."
Gong Yi Jing hesitated, about to say something, when Gong Yi Qing spoke up, "I'll do it."
Only then did Old Cai nod in agreement.
Although Gong Yi Qing came from a remote area, his abilities were impressive, earning him a significant role within the Gongyi Clan.
Gong Yi Qing stepped forward, holding some documents as he approached the remains.
"Qi Yuan, I'm Gong Yi Qing from the Gongyi Clan. I apologize for intruding and disturbing your resting place. I'm not sure if you can hear me, but I'm here with utmost sincerity..."
Nine years ago, you passed away from a brain hemorrhage. Even with hospital treatment, there was no chance of recovery.
The Gongyi Clan has the best medical facilities, and we even possess powerful medicines. If you choose to collaborate with us and convey the contents of this cipher text, we will not only treat you for free but also offer you opportunities, power, status, and wealth... Everything is within our means."
The cipher text, which the Gongyi Clan has possessed for a decade, holds the key to unlocking answers once Qi Yuan shares its contents with them.
The cipher text can be categorized into three types: the first type records the world's reset, providing insights into the reasons behind it and allowing the Gongyi Clan to understand these causes; the second type reveals opportunities; and the third type documents significant events.
Gong Yi Qing spoke earnestly, "The contents of the cipher text are quite complex. I don't know if you can hear me or if you'll remember what I'm about to say, but I'll repeat it a few times."
In the Lost Path Mountain, Gong Yi Qing continued speaking to the remains.
The scene appeared particularly eerie.
The man, drained by alcohol, yawned and took another sip of his drink. He looked at Gong Yi Qing with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Within the Gongyi Clan, his father was a powerful figure, while Gong Yi Qing's connection was more distant.
"He's been repeating himself like this for a while now. Isn't he tired?" the middle-aged man commented. "Why not just record it and broadcast it?"
Gong Yi Jing's beautiful face showed a helpless expression, "We're trying to cooperate with Qi Yuan, and broadcasting a recording would be impolite and wouldn't demonstrate our sincerity."
"Are you talking about sincerity to a corpse?" The middle-aged man chuckled, his eyes filled with mockery.
Respecting a corpse—what a joke!
Old Cai glared at the middle-aged man, who decided to keep quiet.
Time flew by, and in the dimly lit cemetery, Gong Yi Qing's clear voice echoed.
The rest of the Gongyi Clan members sat down to rest after a long day.
After all, they had been busy all day.
Time was ticking, and the world's reset was less than a quarter of an hour away.
Gong Yi Qing leaned against the coffin, continuing his speech.
The alcohol-drained middle-aged man yawned again, his eyes heavy with sleep, "Still going on?"
Old Cai shot another glare at this unpromising descendant, then walked towards Gong Yi Qing. "Why don't you take a break? The results are out over there, and the Reincarnator has agreed to cooperate."
Naturally, these influential families wouldn't limit themselves to collaborating with just one Reincarnator.
The cipher text given to the Reincarnator was also a duplicate, ensuring accuracy and avoiding mistakes.
"It's fine, Uncle. There's only about ten minutes left. I'll continue for a bit longer; it won't be a problem," Gong Yi Qing replied.
Gong Yi Jing picked up a cup of water and handed it to Gong Yi Qing.
"Thank you," Gong Yi Qing said, accepting the water and preparing to drink.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the earth beneath their feet rumbled. Trees swayed, and even tall buildings trembled.
The cup in Gong Yi Qing's hand shook, and it fell into the coffin.
This is the unedited version of the 1619 book!
The tremors lasted only for three breaths before subsiding.
The people present either looked astonished or shocked.
Old Cai's eyes deepened, "Before the world's reset, strange phenomena occur. It seems like it's truly happening."
Gong Yi Jing's eyes also revealed a complex expression, "After the world's reset... will I still be me?"
In truth, Gong Yi Jing was resistant to the idea of a world reset.
Just then, a lazy voice sounded, "Hey, your water just spilled on my remains."
As the voice rang out, everyone's gaze turned to the coffin.
Inside the coffin, a skeleton appeared.
Fear or disbelief filled the hearts of those present.
"A ghost!"
The middle-aged man, drunk from alcohol, looked horrified, nearly stumbling.
The others were equally shocked.
A corpse had come back to life!
"Are you... Qi Yuan?" Gong Yi Qing stared at the remains, his eyes wide with shock. If not for the imminent world reset, he would have taken Qi Yuan's bones for laboratory research.
"Hmm... Are you guys here to party at my grave?"
At that moment, Qi Yuan's bones were scattered, barely holding together.
He felt a bit dazed.
He had actually become a corpse.
Could it be that he was destined to be a puppet?
Gong Yi Qing's face revealed a look of excitement, "You actually... have consciousness. Could it be that ghosts truly exist?"
In a world where resets exist, it's easier to understand the existence of ghosts.
At this moment, the hollow skull shook, appearing rather stiff and loose, "Young man, don't be superstitious. Believe in science. There are no ghosts in this world!"
Qi Yuan had a lot to say about this matter.
Even if a Purple Mansion cultivator perished, they truly perished, and there would be no ghosts.
Only those at the Yin Shen level might retain a wisp of their primordial spirit, surviving in a different form.
If you had to call it a ghost, that would be a stretch.
So, in this world, there are no ghosts.
The skull looked earnestly at everyone present, and his voice was equally serious.
However, to those present, Qi Yuan's words seemed particularly comical.
Family, who could understand? On a grave, a skull was talking about believing in science and the absence of ghosts in this world.
This was the thought in everyone's mind.
Gong Yi Cai's mouth twitched, "Little brother, you might not have realized it yet, but you're already dead."
"Hmm, my game avatar did indeed die." Qi Yuan pondered.
Could it be that he wanted to walk the path of a ghost cultivator?
Qi Yuan's words once again left those present speechless.
A game avatar?
But thinking about Qi Yuan's past as a psychiatric patient, everything started to make sense.
"Little brother Qi Yuan, do you remember what Young Master Qing said earlier?" At this moment, Gong Yi Jing gathered her courage and asked.
To be honest, if it weren't for the world reset, she would have had a clue, otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to call him a skull's little brother.
"What did he say?" Qi Yuan was surprised, "Are you guys sick or something? You're talking to a corpse that's turned into bones. Aren't you guys psychiatric patients?"
Qi Yuan's words once again left those present at a loss for words.
However, Gong Yi Qing quickly spoke up, "The world is about to reset, and our Gong Yi family hopes to cooperate with you..."
Gong Yi Qing explained the whole situation.
After listening, Qi Yuan was incredibly astonished.
"The world is about to reset?"
This was something he had never imagined.
After all, what kind of power could reset the world?
He couldn't fathom it.
Even if he controlled the Heaven's Dao of Moon Continent, he couldn't reset Moon Continent and turn back time.
He never expected to encounter such a thing upon arriving in this world.
"This is quite interesting. It seems this game is challenging." Qi Yuan murmured, "Do you know who the game's big boss is?"
Gong Yi Qing furrowed his brows, as communicating with a psychiatric patient was quite troublesome.
"This isn't a game, it's reality!" Gong Yi Jing affirmed.
Gong Yi Qing, standing beside her, also spoke up, "The reset is about to happen. Our Gong Yi family wants to cooperate with you. What do you say..."
This was the most important part.
Although Qi Yuan didn't have the memories of these ten years, the cipher text was enough for the Gong Yi family.
"I have my own game tasks to complete." Qi Yuan was inclined to refuse, "It's up to fate. If I happen to meet you, then I'll consider cooperating with you."
He spoke casually, not taking the cooperation with the Gong Yi family to heart.
The man who had been drained by alcohol and women saw this and frowned, "It seems you don't understand. The Gong Yi family represents power, wealth, and women! You'll have everything you desire if you join us!"
If it were any other reincarnator with ten years of memories, he would have been cautious.
But Qi Yuan was different.
Qi Yuan was a psychiatric patient with only one year of memories.
So, if they were offended, then so be it.
Qi Yuan glanced at the man, "Game assets... aren't they just numbers?
As for assets... I have them.
Power... I don't lack it.
As for women... I have a wife, and I never mess around."
Qi Yuan's words left everyone speechless.
Even the man who had provoked him earlier was at a loss for words.
What was he arguing with a psychiatric patient for?
Gong Yi Qing quickly spoke up, "The content of the cipher text is..."
He quickly explained the cipher text, as he was afraid Qi Yuan wouldn't remember with less than ten minutes left.
Qi Yuan shrugged, "I'll reluctantly accept your task. If I have time or it's convenient, I'll do it. If it affects my main quest, then I apologize."
After all, he still had his main quest to complete.
The upcoming time was for the Gong Yi family to sweet-talk Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan listened casually, quietly waiting for the world to reset.
At this moment, the sound of a massive earthquake grew louder.
Qi Yuan's skull seemed to have a divine presence, gazing at the firmament. Was the world about to reset?
He wanted to see how it would reset. His vision gradually blurred.
The entire world seemed to be composed of various overlapping lines.
The Gong Yi family members before him became segmented.
Suddenly, a shrill bird cry pierced the air.
He seemed to see a crimson bird, drenched in blood, looking utterly miserable, as it spread its wings and soared.
His bones shattered at this very moment.
