Chapter 707 The Fifth Element

The containment of the Poor Pot is not safe. It can be contained for a while, but not forever.

As long as Clockwork is willing, it can attach to the pot body again at any time and fly around.

But at least it won't be like this now. It's very simple. The pot was forced to move by Moqiong. Clockwork controlled it and couldn't fly.

This thing is not Best Metal and will not deform.

"Just bring it to me. I will prepare the follow-up containment measures." Dr. Mu said.

Moqiong nodded and left Luo Yan to clean up the mess. He and Gou Ye escorted Clockwork back to Base 250.

At this time, You Xin and Hua Yin had also solved the spontaneous combustion incident and returned here.

"Is Ether dead?" Hua Yin asked.

"Dead..." Moqiong said.

Everyone had a complicated look. This guy killed thousands of people one after another and was finally solved.

After his death, two contained objects went berserk. Now the dust has finally settled.

"Is it over..." Hua Yin sat on the ground and stared at the ground.

"No." A voice sounded.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Dr. Mu from Base 250 who was speaking.

"You mean, the problem of divinity?" Mo Qiong asked.

Dr. Mu said, "Yes, I have asked D-level personnel to study the golden apple, but unfortunately, it can add new divinities, but it cannot eliminate those who have already been divinized."

Mo Qiong frowned and said, "Well, Luo Yan also discovered it before."

This is unreasonable.

According to the information of the Blue and White Society and the information of the third generation assassins, when the instigator dies, the divinity of the stimulated person will be lifted.

Because stimulating divinity is a continuous state, the cost is borne by the instigator, that is, carrying one-tenth of the information storm impact.

Once the instigator stops bearing it, or can't bear it and collapses, the divinity state will be lifted.

Once Mehad went crazy in the desert, and then let the third generation and others regain their sanity.

Of course, the third generation also has means to split his personality and then actively recover part of it, which is another matter. That kind of recovery is just a mouth-sickness and can't take back the control of the body.

But now, Ether is dead, why hasn't the divinity been lifted?

Dr. Mu looked at the doctor who had fought with the members and died in the end, and closed his eyes in pain.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Ether is not dead! He is still insisting on the price of the golden apple."

Hua Yin suddenly jumped up from the ground, breathing heavily, and said with red eyes: "Failed again... Then look for it again!"

Everyone frowned, could it be that the guy who was killed before was still just a substitute?

"No, no, no, that's real. We found the golden apple, the assassin's list, the self-healing feather, and a copper ring that can condense all the water in the range on his body." Dr. Mu said.

"The wind and water are on him?" Mo Qiong asked.

Dr. Mu said: "Yes, the feather is the wind light, which can make the holder become the image he wants, including the clothes and equipment on his body. Of course, it is just an image. Although even blood type and DNA can be simulated, there is no corresponding characteristic."

"In other words, the wind light is an absolute image deception. In addition to the lack of corresponding effects, even strange, incredible, and unreasonable images can be simulated."

"For example, a person with five heads, thirty-eight hands, and a separated upper and lower body with an empty space in the middle can also be simulated."

"In other words, this thing can theoretically turn a person into a god, but it has no ability and corresponding mass."

Hua Yin frowned and said: "Then are the other items found on it simulated except for the feather?"

"No, the holder of the golden apple can sense how many divinities there are, which is what the feather cannot simulate. We have also experimented with the copper ring, and it can really produce super heavy water, and there is wave sharing between heavy water, just like quantum entanglement." Dr. Mu said.

All these, plus the fire light of just one sentence.

It can be said that all of the ether's items have been seized, and there is no reason for this guy to be someone else.

"No, there is one missing, the fifth element!" Mo Qiong said.

The fifth element, this containment is the most mysterious containment of the Brotherhood.

Although the golden apple is the most important containment, it is not the most mysterious because of its great reputation and the fact that it has demonstrated its power many times since ancient times.

The five leaders, earth, wind, water, fire, and the fifth element, constitute the leadership of the Brotherhood. The fifth element, inherited from generation to generation by the Qin Guli clan, is the most mysterious containment that has never shown its effect to the outside world.

Even the ancient assassins like the third generation do not know what the fifth element is, and cannot even tell the slightest bit.

"So is he real?" Hua Yin guessed.

Dr. Mu shook his head and said, "It is impossible for Ether not to carry the golden apple with him. There is no reason to keep only the fifth element and treat all other containments as discarded. He might as well die."

"I personally think that this is his true body, but he is not dead..."

Mo Qiong blinked and said, "I am sure he has no vital signs... You mean... he used feathers to simulate himself into a corpse at the moment of being attacked?"

"What!" Hua Yin immediately drew her knife.

Ether played this trick once, and he used it to simulate himself into a corpse and then assassinated Chris.

It's like simulating a god, but there won't be any corresponding effect. Even if he is a hundred feet tall, he still only weighs a human. So using feathers to simulate a corpse doesn't mean he's really dead. It's just that no matter how outsiders test it, they will detect it as a corpse.

Hua Yin sneered, "Pretending to be dead? Can he pretend to be dead forever?"

Then she asked where the corpse was, intending to kill Ether again in person.

However, Dr. Mu shook his head and said, "Come with me."

Everyone followed Dr. Mu to a medical laboratory.

There were twelve glass jars here, soaking Ether's various body tissues.

He was dismembered... into twelve parts.

"When the feathers were taken away by us, although he would not return to his original form, at least he could no longer use the feathers. So I dismembered him. He couldn't be alive after dismantling it like this. But the fact is that the divinities still haven't released the status." Dr. Mu said.

Mo Qiong nodded. What's wrong with simulating the appearance of a corpse? It's not that he can't be killed.

But even after dismembering it like this, he still couldn't release the colleagues in the company whose divinity was activated.

"Why?" Mo Qiong pondered.

Dr. Mu smiled and said, "Perhaps, the fifth element makes his... soul immortal."

"If that's the case, although Ether's body is dead, his consciousness still exists. So he can still bear the cost of the golden apple and still maintain the divine state of our people."

"Soul?" Hua Yin and You Xin were confused. They didn't know much about the soul.

Dr. Mu said: "The soul of a person will be squeezed out of the body after brain death, and then nature or some kind of rules will annihilate it."

"The soul can neither fly nor touch matter. It exists in the body of a living being because of some rules. Once it dies physically, it will disappear without the protection of the body. It is just another carrier of consciousness and memory besides the brain."

Hua Yin was puzzled: "Then what is the meaning of its existence? Is this a natural rule, or is it the influence of a certain containment on the universe that makes the soul exist in the world? Anyway, when a person dies, the soul also dies. What is the meaning of this rule?"

Dr. Mu said: "The meaning of the soul's existence is reincarnation. If for some reason, the soul is not erased by reality. Then restore the brain-dead body and make it continue to operate reasonably... then the person will be resurrected."

"This... has a precedent."

As he said, he looked at Mo Qiong.

That precedent was Mo Qiong. He was once brain-dead, but he became a nail house. His soul went in and out of his body, but it was not completely out.

Because of the protection of the body, reality failed to erase Mo Qiong's soul, and then delayed until the body was repaired and then resurrected.

This is the meaning of the existence of the soul. Without the soul, consciousness is the car. When the car breaks down, the consciousness dies.

But with the soul, then consciousness is the driver in the car. If the car breaks down, the car is repaired, and the driver is not dead... he can get in the car and drive it again.

I just don't know whether this is a rule added to the universe by the containment object, or the universe has this rule.

"Soul annihilation is an iron rule, unless there is an absolute characteristic mixed in, which affects the process of soul annihilation when a person dies..." Dr. Mu said.

Mo Qiong relied on absolute hits to escape the end of soul annihilation. Ether may also be possible. He used the fifth element to make his soul immortal and still "live".

"The fifth element, is it a containment object that allows people to reincarnate after death? Is he now living in someone else's body? Or simply reborn from a baby..." Hua Yin gritted his teeth.

You Xin said with a headache: "How can I catch this?"

So he was killed in this life? Will he come back in the next life?

Mo Qiong frowned and said, "The soul can only enter a suitable body. Basically, only your own body can enter."

"The effect of the fifth element, you know that the containment object cannot allow the soul to possess or plunder other people's bodies?" You Xin said.

Mo Qiong pondered and said, "Qin Guli is a clan! They have passed down this containment object from generation to generation. According to what you said, doesn't the Ether we are chasing now is the reincarnation of the first generation of Ether? Then he is not the disciple of Mozi... Qin Huali?"

You Xin said, "Isn't it? Why is Qin Guli a family inheritance? Why is every generation called Qin Guli? And just add the second, third... twenty-eighth generation at the end?"

"It was Qin Huali who laid the goal of pursuing the heavenly ghost realm, and the ancient assassin also said that the existence of Ether and the Qin Guli family is to allow the Brotherhood to always adhere to this goal."

You Xin's words make sense, and Dr. Mu laughed dumbly.

Hua Yin narrowed her eyes and said, "No one is allowed to leave here and must be examined. Perhaps someone in the base is already the reincarnation of Ether."

As she spoke, she looked at the smiling Dr. Mu.
