Chapter 1617: Yellow Springs Cut Off (Part 7)

I actually found an explanation?

Originally, it was just a defensive question subconsciously, but the hint came without any hesitation.

This development once again broke through the imagination, and Professor Lisa was finally stunned.

Of course, what was even more shocking was the content of the explanation.

The underworld is dead?

How could it die, which is the concept of the destination of the dead?

"Are you kidding?"

Looking at the "family of three", she couldn't help asking the first time she came to her senses.

"In such a serious occasion, you ask such an imprecise question?"

Without turning his head, Fu Qian's body was as light as nothing, and he silently approached the family of three a little.

"...But how can the underworld die?"

This attitude is really impeccable. While Lisa forced herself to think frantically about the reason behind it, she didn't hesitate to ask for advice.

"If you can die in such an abstract concept as belief, why can't the underworld?"

The next moment, Fu Qian finally turned around and pointed his finger at his head.

"As a scientific researcher, the most important thing is not to let inertia constrain your thinking."

"Do you still remember the reasons you mentioned earlier, why do you think the underworld does not exist?"

"Uh... If it really exists, the will of the extraordinary should be able to break the barrier and convey this message clearly-"

With the help of the brain that has been running fast after warming up, Lisa quickly recalled the conversation she had had.

Before she finished speaking, she seemed to realize what the other party wanted to say.

"Since the extraordinary can break the barrier, why is it impossible to destroy it directly... Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, you see, there is no essential difference between the two, but it's just a matter of degree."

Fu Qian looked like a child who could be taught.

"But some cognitive inertia makes you subconsciously ignore the possibility that it can be completely destroyed while you obviously no longer regard the underworld as supreme."

"If you want to be worthy of the clothes you wear, you have to get rid of this bad habit. Although it is just a hypothesis, the paradox seems to no longer exist, right?"

Suppose...

There is no rush to respond, and I am no longer worried about whether the things outside have gone far.

While repeating this word in her mind, Lisa's eyes fell on the two people and the sheep again, subconsciously thinking about what role they played in that hypothesis.

Died again in the eternal afterlife, this reunion in the basement completely returned to nothingness, forever frozen at this moment.

"Let me summarize your opinion. This is the real, legendary underworld."

As if she was worried about disturbing the scene in front of her, Lisa took a deep breath and quickly sorted out the gains she had made along the way.

"The dead souls came here, without judgment and retribution, but just enjoyed eternal peace in some abstract way... and then there are beings like gargoyles guarding them?"

"That's right."

Fu Qian nodded approvingly and motioned to continue.

"Then one day, for some incomprehensible reason, the underworld also decayed and died, along with everything in it."

Lisa responded instantly.

"The dead souls turned into mummies, the gargoyles turned into real stone statues, and the afterlife no longer existed?"

In fact, it was not that difficult to understand.

Nodding again, Fu Qian said something silently in his heart.

It may sound abstract, but some things will be much easier to understand with an analogy.

The underworld and the Yellow Spring may be unfamiliar, but I have come into contact with the unseen hills, which symbolize the deepness, more than once.

It is also an unknown domain, and I cannot leave after being completely integrated into it.

Even for the two targets sent with the ash-granting ring, isn’t the role I play equivalent to the guide of the underworld?

And such a place has obviously been invaded by the Mother of Gospel before, proving that the state is not eternal.

If it can eventually collapse or mutate, what is the essential difference between it and the withering of the underworld?

No matter what Professor Lisa thinks, for Fu Qian, this has always been a serious academic discussion.

And this is indeed the idea he had from the beginning for that paradox.

Of course, for Fu Qian, this is not a difficult breakthrough in thinking difficulties. After all, long before accepting the invitation letter to the warehouse, he was widely praised for his lack of awe.

And the incarnation of extraordinary, thanks to a higher level of perspective, made him even worse.

A special place that is transcendent and related to the power of death can be completely defined as the underworld.

Not to mention that according to Awei, even the classic representative of this power, the god of death, is in a bad state.

"Things in the world are unpredictable, and things after death may not be exempt from this."

As his thoughts flew, Fu Qian followed Lisa's gaze and seemed to understand her feelings.

"At least their small safety measures still prevented the final reunion from being disturbed, right?"

"What did you say they... three people were doing originally?"

After hesitating for a while, Professor Lisa temporarily accepted the statement that the two people and the sheep were of the same kind.

"It's hard to say, I don't think it's a pot, it looks more like a brazier... maybe they were roasting fire originally?"

Fu Qian was referring to a flat container on the small table, which was also the only container, and was placed obviously closer to the small corpse.

...

Given the previous communication with the stone statue, the concept of fire is obviously very easy to make people think of a lot.

"...Why do you think that thing is looking for corpses?"

However, Lisa did not continue to indulge her feelings, but forced her eyes away and turned to the more core issues.

"Although it is extremely slight, there seems to be a little bit of the withering power in these corpses. I think it may have some nutritional value for them."

"The report of Linghui did not mention this? I believe that if it is broken, even you can detect it."

Fu Qian casually shared his perception gains.

"Looking for food..."

Not dissatisfied with the other party's comments, Lisa obviously agreed with this statement while muttering to herself, and finally did not really step forward to try to touch the mummy.

"At least I didn't see the relevant content. They should not have found this place before. Do we still have to continue tracking that thing?"

And the next moment she shook her head and asked Fu Qian about his next plan.

"Of course, the materials have not been obtained yet."

Even if he came to a major guess, Fu Qian still showed what it means to stay true to his original intention.

"According to the speed of that thing, it should not have left too far."

"Okay."

It was not too unexpected, and Lisa was not polite.

After carefully retreating, she took one last look at the three bodies and quickly and carefully closed the cover again. (End of this chapter)
