After drank the wine in the glass, Todd sighed in contentment.

　　 Sutherland looked at Todd, smiled and asked, "From sowing to brewing, I do it myself. How does it taste?"

　　 Todd nodded and said: "Delicious...I know that this is the soul space. Taste can be produced only by consciousness, but this wine always gives me a feeling and a beautiful sense of reality."

Sutherland said amusedly: "A beautiful sense of reality? Interesting... If consciousness is the only means for people to understand the outside world, then what is the difference between vision, taste, touch, which can be judged by the brain, and the so-called falsehood? Woolen cloth?"

　　 Todd was taken aback, and asked Sutherland, "According to your point of view, what is true?"

　　 Sutherland: "If you want to understand the truth, you must first see if you can know yourself?"

　　 Todd thought for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Sutherland, are you talking about a riddle?"

　　 Sutherland said softly, "I'm talking about something you will remember eventually."

　　 Seeing Todd's face full of puzzlement, Sutherland smiled and said: "Don't worry about this anymore, tell me what you are going to do here."

　　 Todd said to Sutherland, "I thought you could see through anyone's heart."

　　 Sutherland: "I can, but that doesn't mean I can understand everything."

　　 Todd: "Understand... everything? I don't understand what you mean?"

　　 Sutherland: "I know that you want to take away a part of my body to extract the antidote to the necromancy. But what I don't understand is how can you do it all?"

　　 Todd: "The process is a bit complicated, involving some academics and theories."

　　 Sutherland: "We are not short of time now, you can explain it to me."

Todd: "Well, I tried my best to explain to you that there is a necrotic parasite in the necromancer. Their predecessor is the resurrection worm, and the latter is transformed into the former under the influence of the tyrant virus... this kind of parasitic The worm contains a necrotic virus. If you want to eliminate this virus, you must extract antibodies from the infected person..."

　　 It took Todd an hour to explain to Sutherland the origin and principle of the Necrovirus.

　　 Sutherland listened very carefully, and occasionally asked a few questions.

When Todd explained everything, he said to Sutherland: "So, that's why I came to you this time. As long as we extract a small piece of living tissue from your body, the nervous system, we can cultivate With the antidote to the necrotic virus, the whole world will be saved as a result."

　　 After listening to Todd, Sutherland asked, "Do you think I will agree to your proposal? Give you a part of my body so that you can create that kind of antidote?"

Todd felt tight and said: "I already know that you are a dead soul. I know that you are unlikely to agree to my request, but I still hope that you can give them a way to survive for the sake of those different races. the way……"

　　 Sutherland smiled and said, "It's starting to play the emotional card... Good job, but not good enough."

　　 Todd gritted his teeth: "If you really refuse my request, I will get what I want at all costs."

Sutherland squinted his eyes and said: "Very well, as a leader, you must always consider the possibility of failure in verbal negotiation. Sometimes force is the last choice, but it is also the most effective choice... But it is a pity that you will complain about everything. Before violence, you must carefully choose your opponent."

　　 Todd asked in a deep voice, "What are you trying to say?"

Sutherland: "You can't defeat me... Of course, what I want to emphasize is not this. I think the antidote in your mouth has no meaning. The necrotic plague has infected every corner. The decline and survival of this world The extinction of living things is only a matter of time."

　　 Todd: "I don't think so, there will always be a way out for everything, and hope will always exist."

　　 Sutherland shook his head, waved his arms, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

In the huge bottomless trench, hundreds of millions of necrotic parasites are entangled like vines, twisting and becoming bigger, flooding every corner of the seabed, dyeing the originally blue sea into pitch black .

　　 Deep and quiet underground caves, countless dead parasites shuttle among the rocks and soil, connect with each other and connect to form a net, forming more and more large nests in the depths of the earth.

Sutherland waved Todd back into the soul space, and said to the pale face of the latter: "The images you just saw are the reality that currently exists...When you are still interacting with those insignificant activities on the ground. When the corpses were fighting, the necrotic plague had already infected the ocean and the earth, and the whole world had become their nest, and there was no way to stop them anymore."

　　 Todd closed his eyes in pain, and said firmly: "There must be a way. If we can study the virus antibodies, then we still have a chance..."

　　 Sutherland said helplessly: "Are you still reluctant to give up the hope that is close to vague?"

Todd raised his head and stared into Sutherland's eyes: "No matter how small the hope is, it is the light that leads to the exit. I need your help... No, I beg for your help. Just a little bit of your living tissue is alive. There is a glimmer of hope for the creatures to be able to resist this force of death."

　　 Sutherland sighed and said nothing.

　　 Todd took a step forward and continued: "As long as you are willing to help, I can pay the equivalent price."

Sutherland thought for a moment, and then said: "Then, let's make an agreement. I will give a part of my body to your people for their use in studying the antidote... Although I don't think it will What's the use."

　　 Seeing the joy on Todd's face, Sutherland continued: "Don't be happy too early, and on par with this, I need you to stay here and complete a task I taught you."

　　 Todd nodded hurriedly, but suddenly realized something, and asked, "Stay here? How long? After getting the antibody, I must return to my kingdom and help my people fight the dead."

　　 Sutherland whispered: "I'm afraid you can't do that. You must stay here until my task arrives, and you can't go anywhere."

　　 Todd widened his eyes and said loudly, "This is not fair! You can't trap me here!"

　　 Sutherland picked up the wine glass beside him~lightnovelpub.net~ and took a sip: "Actually, I can."

　　 Todd closed his eyes, trying to forcefully escape from Sutherland's soul world.

　　 But, he failed.

　　 Then, he landed on all fours, transformed into a giant dragon, and spit out a ball of flames toward Sutherland.

　　 It was like a flame plunged into the sea, and Todd's attack had no effect.

　　 Sutherland: "Todd, don't make unnecessary attempts. You can't be my opponent at all in the research and use of soul abilities."

　　 Sutherland reached out and waved to Todd.

　　 The latter seemed to be suddenly taken away from his body's strength, and turned into a human form directly, limp to the ground.

Sutherland: "Todd, I will keep you in this soul world. You will not be restricted in all your actions here... In addition, I will also send the agreed living tissue to the West City. If If your people have enough courage, wisdom and luck, then they may be able to survive this catastrophe of death."

　　 Todd looked up at Sutherland with difficulty: "What do you want me to do? When will you let me leave here?!"

Sutherland: "Now is not the time to discuss the details with you. When the time comes, you will naturally understand everything I want. Oh, yes, you don't need to worry about the hardship of time. I have already passed the time in the soul space. Accelerate a lot. Staying here for a day, the outside world will pass by about a week."

　　 "Soon, the final moment will come."
