Yu Qi's song is not just an ordinary good singing voice, but it really contains some kind of strange power, which Yong Ye can clearly perceive in the longer time together.

But there is nothing strange about it. There are too many strange things in this world, and strange powers that are not obvious. This is not good or curious to him. It may also be that the singing induces the effect of the subconscious. He is not a researcher. , is not interested in this kind of thing.

Accompanied by the gentle sound of the waves, the girl's singing echoed in the quiet courtyard.

Taking the girl's singing as a lullaby, Yong Ye began to fall asleep, and then, four hours later, before dawn, he got up again on the grass.

Qi has disappeared, and he must have gone to sleep, but he began to practice again, and meditated directly on the lawn of the courtyard cross-legged until dawn.

In the next ten days, until the arrival of July, the summer is getting hotter and hotter, and Yongye is just practicing kendo.

And Qi occasionally looked at him for no apparent reason, he would look hesitant, and he wanted to say something but never said it.

However, this is not important. What is important is that Yongye has discovered an extremely important discovery, that is, the discovery of the soul for system upgrade needs.

On this night, when the two of them seldom did not eat takeaway, but were eating out together, Yong Ye suddenly noticed that there was something that attracted him in the open back kitchen door of the noodle restaurant, a five centimeter long one. Rhombus amethyst.

"night?"

Realizing that Yong Ye had been staring at the crystal in a daze, Qi, who was opposite him, subconsciously followed his line of sight.

"That soul crystal, what's wrong?"

"Soul Crystal?"

"Well, that amethyst was left over ten years ago...that is, the product left over from the LostChristmas (Lost Christmas) incident where the ApocalypseVirus (Apocalypse Virus) outbreak caused Japan to collapse and GHQ settled in."

"LostChristmas (Lost Christmas)? Can you tell me in detail? How did the crystal come from."

Looking back, after all, Yong Ye, who is not a native resident, is not clear about some historical events. Even Qi, who has no common sense, knows more than him in this regard.

Of course, Qi only knows more about this kind of thing, after all, she herself is closely related to these things.

"In the event of LostChristmas (Lost Christmas), many people crystallized to death, they became crystals as big as people, most of the big crystals will dissipate, but eventually a small piece will remain, That's it."

Qi didn't point at the crystal, but glanced with his eyes. After that, he blew the hot ramen noodles, sucked the noodles into his mouth, and finally wiped the soup from the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and then continued the topic. .

"...That crystal is the only relic left of the victims in the accident ten years ago, so most of the families of the victims regard this crystal as the crystallized soul of the victims and the only spiritual sustenance, so this crystal Known by the public as the soul crystal."

"Soul Crystal..."

Yong Ye stood up talking to himself and walked towards the crystal. However, before he took two steps, his cuff was pulled.

Looking back in confusion, Qi was the one who grabbed his cuff.

"No, you will be scolded."

"Just looking at it..."

"...No one likes others touching their family's ashes. This thing is similar to ashes."

Even praying could see that Yong Ye was very interested in that thing, and guessed what he wanted to do in the past, which stopped him, and shook his head gently at him, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"That's the worst pain in the hearts of people who suffered disasters ten years ago. It's better not to stimulate them."

"Okay, I'm just curious."

After thinking for a while, Yong Ye took a last look at the crystals placed in the back kitchen, and temporarily gave up the plan to enter the back kitchen. Maybe Yu Qi didn't know, he only knew that the crystal was called soul crystal, but he could feel it. Inside the crystal...there is a soul.

No one knows, neither does Eternal Night, but the Lost Christmas (Lost Christmas) ten years ago was actually the fourth apocalypse.

Getting rid of the fragile body and obtaining eternal thinking in crystallization is the next process of this planet. Void is only the prelude to its arrival, and the new world that materializes the heart is the next process.

Therefore, the soul crystal is not just a name, but there is really a soul in it.

However, because the fourth apocalypse has not been completed, the process has just started, and it cannot continue because of something stopped. To be precise, the souls of those people are bound inside, unable to connect with people or even think. Can't do it, just being imprisoned in a crystal is actually no different from being dead.

In any case, the discovery of the soul crystal allowed Yong Ye to find a new target, a new way to gain new abilities other than aimless killing, and it seemed to be a simpler and faster way.

So one night, he left the church on the pretext that he had a part-time job to deal with.

…

Back at the Bone Christmas Tree, Yong Ye used his authority to investigate the matter about the soul crystal for the first time.

In a short while, he found out that during the turmoil ten years ago, GHQ had collected a batch in the Christmas tree of bones. crystal.

Due to the special meaning of this crystal, most of these crystals are still in the hands of their families, except for those who have crystallized in the whole family. There are only 1,273 crystals in the warehouse of the Bone Christmas Tree.

With his own authority, he went to the warehouse and took out a crystal that was piled up as a useless sample in the corner, and brought it back to his officer dormitory for research.

Hold the angular amethyst in your hand and study it carefully. Yongye really couldn't study it for a while. It just feels like an ordinary crystal, but the premonition still exists. This is right. He has something useful, something with a soul.

The question is, how to get the soul inside?

have eaten?

swallowed?

Mix it up with water?

No no no... Impossible, although the texture of this thing is special, it is not much different from ordinary crystals in general. Even with the enhancement of meditation, his digestion ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Not to the level of the sky, the stomach acid of a person is mainly hydrochloric acid, which will dissolve a part of the stone, but cannot fully digest it. He should be able to melt most of it, but to say it is completely melted... He doesn't know if he hasn't eaten it, no matter what. Not soon.

More than a thousand crystals, how to eat? Might as well kill faster...

After being distressed for a while, he immediately changed his mind and stopped taking swallowing in the traditional sense.

Instead... just like a murderer severing his body in two, he smashed the crystal on the ground with force, and it fell directly into pieces.

The next moment, an obvious joy appeared on Yong Ye's face. This was indeed the soul of a human being, and it was a standard soul.

The massacre of terrorists these days has made him collect a lot of souls, and now he is only one step away from obtaining new abilities at level four, nine hundred and eighty-three.

The experience, or soul, collected by the system that does not know what the principle is, requires ten times the soul for each level up, 10 standard souls from level 0 to level 1, and 100 standard souls from level 1 to level 2 For souls, level 2 to level 3 are 1000 standard souls, and the requirements for levels 3 to 4 are an astonishing 10,000 standard souls.

Moreover, the two inheritances are independent. One will not be raised to four levels and the other will be pulled up to give two skill inheritances. Instead, you need to choose to acquire the knowledge inherited from the other side first, and then you can only be promoted next time. Gain new abilities on the other side.

Due to the particularity of the soul, the physical mutation brought about by the virus will not strengthen the soul, so neither Kabane nor gastrulae is a standard human soul. Animals and insects naturally have souls, but their souls More or less, most of them are far less than human souls, and cannot reach the amount of a standard soul.

The excessive promotion demand once troubled him, but now he only needs to smash the soul crystal in the Bone Christmas tree, and he can obtain the long-lost promotion and the long-lost new ability.

Thinking about it carefully, this system just wants to cultivate him as a murderer, and even... the murderer is far inferior to him. After all, he has killed more than 10,000 people as of now plus the previous upgrades. life.

Although there are quite a few monsters from humans such as Cabanne and gastrula, but the number of human beings is definitely not in the minority. Which murderer would kill so many people?

"...Forget it, this kind of thing is fine. It's here, there's no turning back."

Shaking his head and sighing lightly, Yong Ye asked the orderlies to clean up the crystals, and then asked them to prepare a Gatling machine gun, and took out all the crystals and placed them on the shooting range.
