Chapter 056 The Reason for Hatred
Chapter 056 The Reason for Hatred
For a time, the banks of the Burial River were filled with mournful cries.
Only at this point did everyone truly witness the terror of the Burial Soul River.
"Will it work?" Yang Jiu asked quietly from the side.
He knew Meng Shisan to some extent.
Meng Shisan shook his head: "Let's see, it's hard to say."
"Stop! Damn it, I don't want this body anymore. If you don't stop, I'll kill myself!" Just then, someone finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted.
He was truly fed up with that excruciating pain, like being pierced by a thousand arrows.
If it weren't for the fact that he's having such a hard time committing suicide right now, he probably would have already taken his own life.
Sometimes, death is not as frightening as torture.
"I thought you guys were tougher." With that, the guy pulled the person to the shore, and almost simultaneously, the person he had been controlling collapsed to the ground.
The guy lying on the ground started to struggle violently.
Almost at the same time, the man sat up straight, clutching his hair tightly with both hands.
"Get out of here, this is my territory," he muttered angrily.
"Give up struggling. Do you want to experience that excruciating pain again?" His expression changed, and even his voice changed.
As everyone knows, this is two codes vying for control of the same physical body.
This scene sent chills down everyone's spines: "It's like possession!"
As Yang Jiu spoke, he shuddered.
"Didn't he agree? Did he go back on his word afterward?" someone else asked.
"It's not exactly a change of heart, it's more like instinct." Yang Qi, who was also watching all this, said through Xie Linbo, "It's something that can't be controlled, not even by him. The survival will of the code doesn't allow anyone to invade its territory."
"So how did you infiltrate Xie Linbo and his group?" Yang Jiu asked curiously upon hearing this.
"We are rather special," Yang Qi said. "Although the Burial Soul River devoured our physical bodies, it's strange that it also seems to have nurtured our consciousness."
At least I can clearly feel that our consciousness, which you call code, is more powerful than that of others.
As for why they were able to infiltrate Xie Linbo and his group so quietly, it's because they felt guilty towards us. We quietly infiltrated without making any moves to seize territory, which made them think it went very smoothly.
In fact, they are still capable of resisting; their will still exists.
That's why Shen Mo didn't let us take action against you before.
For example, if I were to lay a hand on Meng Shisan now, Xie Linbo would retaliate.
If that guy over there were to lay a hand on Er'er, Yan Zhiyu would fight back.
As he spoke, he glanced at the guy still rolling on the ground and shook his head. "In the end, we've only temporarily taken control of this body. If they resist, we're no different from him right now."
"You mean Yan Zhiyu and the others didn't resist?" Yang Jiu was taken aback. "Isn't that instinct?"
"That's what I find strange. Their guilt is too sincere. To be honest, I'm even influenced by them." Yang Qi said, then sighed. "You won't believe me, but we initially wanted to use them to go crazy, just like Thirteen said, killing whoever we saw."
We had already decided that even if you were my own brother, you deserved to die if you stood in my way of revenge.
But after a while, that idea slowly changed in their minds.
Even if you were standing right in front of me, I truly couldn't bring myself to do it.
"Damn it, so you didn't even intend to let me go in the first place?" Yang Jiu cursed immediately upon hearing this. "And I even treated your child like my own, you bastard..."
"Alright, shut up already." Meng Shisan said immediately when he saw that this guy was cursing and swearing endlessly. "Given what they went through before, they're probably just filled with hatred. Why are you arguing with them?"
He actually knew this a long time ago. Although Baozi had repeatedly encountered obstacles with Xu Xin, he had still managed to glean a lot of information from these people.
Just then, the guy who was still struggling on the ground suddenly got up and shouted angrily, "Since you won't let me have an easy time, then none of us will have an easy time either."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and jumped directly into the Burial Soul River!
Everyone was stunned.
"Hmph, do you really think hacking into someone else's code is that simple?" Shen Mo, who was temporarily crouching down by the communicator, sneered. "Let me tell you the truth, Meng Shisan has no good intentions. You guys have all been played by him. He's using you as experiments."
He was happy to watch the show, since Meng Shisan couldn't do anything to him anyway.
"You really think we don't know?" Yang Qi laughed. "We knew from the first time we broke into someone else's code that it's very difficult for code to invade someone else's territory."
Unless your code is significantly better than everyone else's.
For him to succeed, the conditions were too stringent: either his code had just stopped running and his body had not yet suffered significant damage.
Either the two codes are completely merged.
We already know all this, so what's the point of you saying this now?
"You all knew?" Now it was Shen Mo's turn to be surprised.
He had originally intended to use this to sow discord, but these guys seemed completely unconcerned.
"Why don't you know?" Yang Qi shook his head. "We just want revenge, but that doesn't mean we're stupid."
If code hacking were that easy, you would have succeeded long ago.
After saying that, he looked at Meng Shisan and said, "Alright, put away all your electronic devices. We can't compare to them. They can bend down to electronic devices, but we can't."
If we actually did that, we'd be completely doomed.
Everyone, throw these guys straight into the Burial Soul River. If you feel he's about to die and you're confident, then do it.
I've already died once, what am I afraid of?
"If they resist while we're occupying their bodies, we'll be in even more trouble."
That last sentence is the truth: their current predicament is entirely due to the guilt that Yan Zhiyu and the others feel.
But everyone knows that if these guys really start to fight back, what happened just now was nothing compared to what they expected.
"Alright, let's get to work." As they spoke, everyone started to tormenting Liu Jiajia and the others.
Fortunately, Liu Jiajia and her group outnumbered Yang Qi and his group, so everyone still had room to experiment and make mistakes.
Seeing them working so enthusiastically, Yang Jiu asked softly, "You mean Yang Qi and the others' consciousnesses are still preserved in the Burial Soul River, but what about Liu Jiajia and the others?"
"That's inevitable." Meng Shisan nodded and said, "The main reason we can't do anything about them for the time being is that we don't have a way to truly erase these codes."
Even if they want to use the Burial River of Souls to lie low, it probably won't be that simple. I'll go down there myself later and see what secrets this Burial River of Souls holds.
"Are you going down again?" Although he had heard that Meng Shisan had climbed out of the Burial Soul River, seeing what these people had gone through still made him tremble.
"Let's see." Meng Shisan's tone was very relaxed. "Anyway, I won't die, and I'm also very curious about how Shen Mo got in touch with those guys in the Burial Soul River."
As he spoke, his gaze turned in that direction.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo smiled and said, "Actually, I'm more curious about how you managed to survive the Burial Soul River."
How about we switch?
Meng Shisan had also asked Baozi about this issue. Although Baozi had also learned a lot of useful information from Shen Mo, he hadn't been able to find out about this particular information.
This can only mean that the one who made contact with Zanghunjiang was not the 'Silent One' in front of us.
"Since you know I can enter and leave the Burial Soul River, do you think I need to make an exchange with you?" Meng Shisan said, then looked at Yang Qi and the others.
Over there, there's a chorus of wails right now.
Despite being heavily influenced by Yan Zhiyu and his group, Yang Qi and his friends showed no mercy when dealing with people like Liu Jiajia.
After all, these people are the ultimate beneficiaries of harming themselves and their children.
"Damn it, I know these guys deserve to die, but I still can't bear to look at them," Yang Jiu said as he walked away.
Meng Shisan shook his head and carried Er'er away.
He wasn't worried that Er'er would be scared.
Of all the things Er'er went through, which one wasn't darker than this?
That is, after they retreated, someone finally began to try to hack into other people's code.
As before, the moment of intrusion, the two began a frantic struggle for control of the body.
Even though the person was already on the verge of death when they were pulled from the River of Burial Souls, they still unleashed an inexplicable will to survive.
Once there's a first, there's a second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth...
Soon, many people began to compete in willpower.
Although Liu Jiajia and her friends were spoiled from a young age and had big tempers, they were not without their merits.
Even now, not a single one of them has been a coward, not even one has begged for mercy.
In the struggle for control of their bodies against Yang Qi and the others, many people, even those who couldn't win, jumped into the Burial Soul River.
This is one of the reasons why Meng Shisan brought them here.
At least if they fall into the Burial Soul River, their consciousness can still be protected by the Burial Soul River.
"Holy crap, I did it." Just when Meng Shisan thought everyone would return to the Burial Soul River, Yang Qi's voice came from Yang Sen's mouth.
Hearing his words, not only Meng Shisan, but even Shen Mo on the communicator was stunned for a moment.
"It really worked?" This was Shen Mo's incredulous exclamation.
As a coder far more advanced than Meng Shisan and his team, he understood all too well what this meant.
"What about Yang Sen's consciousness?" Meng Shisan immediately asked.
Yang Qi shook his head: "I don't know either. He seemed to disappear suddenly in the end."
He had barely finished speaking when Meng Shisan shuddered.
Baozi said that Yang Qi's consciousness had swallowed Yang Sen's consciousness.
"This works?" Meng Shisan looked incredulous.
Baozi was equally surprised: "Yang Qi's code is so much stronger than before, it can devour other people's code, this..."
"You've never heard of this before?" Meng Shisan asked hurriedly. Baozi came from the end of time, and he knew too many things that others did not.
"I've heard of that, but humans shouldn't do that," Baozi said. "Actually, people like Wen Shixin can do it. As long as they find the weakness in someone else's code, they can try to devour and evolve."
Human code, however, is set from the beginning; it can evolve and iterate on its own, but it cannot be devoured or assimilated.
In other words, human code is still only a work in progress.
"What's his situation?" Meng Shisan was also curious.
Baozi shook his head, and after a long while said, "Perhaps it's related to the Burial Soul River."
"What exactly is the origin of this Burial Soul River?" Meng Shisan asked, looking at the Burial Soul River with a surprised expression.
"Who knows?" Baozi was also very curious about the Burial Soul River.
"This feeling is better than ever before." Yang Qi was running around excitedly.
He now truly had complete control over Yang Sen's body; in other words, he was now completely in charge of this body.
This feeling was completely different from when he controlled Xie Linbo's body before.
Back then, he could clearly sense Xie Linbo's presence, but now, he couldn't sense Yang Sen's presence at all, as if this body had always been his.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately became excited as well.
The fact that someone succeeds means there is hope.
Meng Shisan, however, said to Yan Zhiyu, "You can try Liu Jiajia."
Most of Liu Jiajia's organs, including her blood, are of type 22.
"That's what I think too. Even if I can't get it back, I still want to avenge Er'er." As Er'er's father, after learning about Er'er's ordeal, he wanted to kill Liu Jiaming and his daughter countless times, but his abilities were limited. Now that he had the opportunity to deal with Liu Jiajia, the beneficiary, how could he let it go?
Soon, everyone began searching for their own goals.
Yang Qi's success gave everyone hope.
Of course, more importantly, even if we fail, as long as we are still in the Burial Soul River, we still have a chance.
The Burial River is everyone's escape route.
"I'm not staying here." With that, he controlled Yan Zhiyu, picked up Liu Jiajia with one hand, and drove away from the Burial Soul River.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Yang Jiu asked curiously.
Meng Shisan sighed: "He doesn't want to give Liu Jiajia any chance to live."
By moving away from the Burial Soul River, he not only cut off Liu Jiajia's escape route but also his own.
However, Meng Shisan could understand. From the teary eyes that Er Er had shown when she vented her anger, it was clear that he truly cared for his daughter.
Having witnessed his brother's love for his daughter, he also wanted to do something for her.
"I'll go over there too." At the same time, several other people also grabbed those guys and left.
A way out?
From the moment they stepped out of the Burial Soul River, they never left themselves a way out; all they wanted was revenge!
"Sigh..." Yang Jiu sighed.
Yang Qi shook his head: "This is actually the best ending for them. You haven't experienced what we have experienced, so you naturally don't know the hatred in our hearts."
"What exactly did you all go through?" Yang Jiu asked curiously.
Yang Qi raised his head, looked into an unknown direction, and after a long while said, "We..."
He spoke for a long time, and Meng Shisan and the others listened for a long time. When he finished speaking, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and could not calm down for a long time.
Even Yan Zhiyu and the others, who had regained control of their bodies, fell silent upon hearing this.
This is also why they did not resist.
After all, no one has the right to forgive them on their behalf.
After all, no one has ever tried to choose between their children.
No one would personally end the act of removing organs from their own children to donate to others...
Hatred doesn't happen without reason...
"Damn it, Liu Jiaming, you get out here right now!" Yang Jiu couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily, "Why don't you lay a hand on your daughter yourself!"
"You son of a bitch, next time I see you, I'll kill you, or I'll be your son!"
