BXBX NOVEL Chapter 275 - Resurrection
Chapter 275: Resurrection
[Body death.]
[Special curse activated.]
[Curse effect: After ‘A’ dies, ‘B’ is resurrected.]
[Activation successful…]
…
In the void, there was no concept of time.
But there seemed to be light spots faintly appearing.
Changing lines with points, changing faces with lines.
In the end, the entire void was completely filled…
“…Oh.”
After an unknown amount of time.
Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes. He saw a human figure, a sword figure, a beast figure, and a deep pit.
He looked up and looked at the sky above him. He was at a loss for a long time before he suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at his side.
The human figure lying on the ground was none other than Bahuang Yao.
“Yes.”
“I died.”
“I died first…”
“The onewho dies first will be resurrected first, so I was resurrected.”
The muddy memories gradually became clear. Chen Yu stood up and checked his own condition.
His neck had already recovered.
His right hand, which was originally broken, was also intact.
His entire body had completely recovered to its peak condition.
“After being resurrected, because I knew the details, I am able to resurrect Xiao Yao as well…”
“Yes.”
“There’s no problem with the plan.”
Looking down at the lock tattoo on his navel, Chen Yu’s eyes flickered.
Everything was as he had guessed.
The person who died first could not resurrect the ‘living person’ because the ‘living person’ did not die in the first place.
Therefore, if the conditions for the curse to be activated were not up to standard, it would fail.
Then, when he died and Bahuang Yao died again, the conditions for the curse to be activated would be up to standard.
And so…
He was resurrected.
“Now, I just need to leave a letter for Xiao Yao to explain the situation. Then, I’ll commit suicide…”
Kacha —
Chen Yu’s thoughts had just drifted away when he suddenly heard a crisp sound.
He hurriedly lowered his head and realized that the ‘lock’ tattoo on his abdomen had actually disappeared…
“…”
“What?!”
Cold sweat instantly flowed down his back.
“This martial art curse is a one-time use?”
After a moment of shock, Chen Yu rolled and crawled in front of Bahuang Yao. He lifted the girl’s shirt and his rapidly beating heart instantly calmed down.
He saw that the red lock on the girl’s fair and clean abdomen was still beautiful.
“…It’s fine.”
“Looks like my curse has been used up, but she still has a curse on her. As long as I die, Xiao Yao can still be revived…”
“…”
“…Wait a moment.”
Chen Yu was stunned.
“This damn curse is gone. What will I do after I revive Xiao Yao?!”
“When I die again, I’ll really die, right?”
“…”
“That’s not right.”
“There must be a bug here…”
Putting down the girl’s coat, Chen Yu scratched his ears and cheeks as he spun a few rounds on the spot. His mind was in a mess.
“No, I’ll talk about this later.”
“I should leave as soon as possible now.”
With that thought in mind, Chen Yu suppressed all his thoughts. He put away the weapons, equipment, and backpack that were scattered around him. Then, he hugged Bahuang Yao and ran away.
His actions were indeed correct.
After only running for a few kilometers, three gorillas were chasing after him at an extremely fast speed!
Chen Yu’s heart tightened. While maintaining his balance, he turned his head to take a look.
One was Level 5.
Two were Level 4.
Although they were not as troublesome as the Level 6 gorilla, they were still not something Chen Yu could deal with at the moment.
“I have no other choice. I can only use Leap of Faith and Enlightenment at the same time.”
“I hope I can trigger the ‘paralysis’ effect. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to escape…”
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Yu took out the green hat that Ma Li had left for him and put it on his head.
[Cursed: Mobility +100%]
Bang!
His running speed immediately increased by a third.
Pa!
Then, Chen Yu put his palms together. “Martial Arts — Leap…”
Whoosh — Dong!
At this moment, a ball of fireworks exploded in the sky in front of him!
Seven colors of ‘red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple’ were scattered out.
The fireworks of each color corresponded to a direction.
The yellow one was in front of him on the left…
Chen Yu’s mind turned cold. He suddenly thought of something and quickly changed his direction, rushing to the front on the left.
Sou — Dong!
The fireworks bloomed once more, getting closer and closer.
Chen Yu’s thoughts spun a thousand times, and he took off his hat.
His speed plummeted.
The three orangutans chasing behind him roared in excitement, launching a full-speed charge!
Five hundred meters.
Two thousand meters.
Five thousand meters…
A man and three beasts rushed into a park.
Through his hearing, Chen Yu judged the distance between him and the exotic beast behind him, and used the Leap of Faith to prolong the time that the exotic beast could catch him.
“Get down!”
In front of him, on a certain elm tree, Ma Li stuck her head out and shouted nervously.
Chen Yu didn’t hesitate at all. He carried Bahuang Yao and lay on the ground.
“Hiss–”
He used his belly and the crowbar to complete the braking.
The three exotic beasts behind him were instantly cut into pieces.
Plop!
The heavy body parts fell down, sending dust everywhere, filling the air.
It also allowed Chen Yu to clearly see the thin threads that were stained with dust above his head.
“We cooperate well!” Ma Li jumped down from the tree crown excitedly.
“Don’t beep yet.”
Putting down Bahuang Yao, Chen Yu covered his lower abdomen in pain. “Let me slow down…”
“What’s wrong?” Ma Li asked. “Did it hurt?”
“It hurts when you rub it!”
“…Hiss.” Ma Li felt the same. She felt a pain in her ‘phantom limb’ and bared her teeth. “It’s your fault for not wearing any clothes. You’re naked, not looking for… Hey, don’t tell me, Big Brother, your big buttocks are pretty perky.”
“Get lost.”
After a while.
After the wound healed and the pain disappeared, Chen Yu got up and looked at the thin threads on his left and right. “This thing is the ‘spongy body’ thread that you set up when we were PKing in the College Entrance Exam, right?”
“That’s called the silk thread. You’re so uncultured.” Ma Li flicked the thread and glanced at Chen Yu. She swallowed her saliva and explained, “It’s as soft as ordinary wiring. But as long as you infuse it with strength, it will become extremely tough. It’s very precious. In terms of milligrams, it’s commonly known as nature’s spongy body.”
“Why didn’t you run away?”
“I ran away.” Ma Li spread her hands. “But didn’t you see that magnificent pillar of fire? I thought that if you guys had the chance to escape after the seed explosion, I used this time to set up a trap. I hoped I could help.”
“…You helped.”
“Hey, so…” Ma Li suddenly shut her mouth. Her gaze focused on Bahuang Yao as her pupils constricted. “She… She died?”
Chen Yu: “She’s not dead.”
Ma Li: “She’s dead.”
Chen Yu: “She’s not dead.”
Squatting down, Ma Li examined the young girl’s body seriously. “That pillar of fire just now was when she opened the eighth acupoint, right… Her life force was exhausted… She’s dead.”
Chen Yu was a little frustrated. “If I say she’s not dead, then she’s not dead.”
“…” Ma Li fell silent.
She thought that Chen Yu was unwilling to accept this fact, so she stopped talking.
“So… it was Bahuang Yao who sacrificed her life and saved Chen Yu…”
Ma Li’s eyes were complicated.
She had always thought that she was a cold-blooded person.
She was also used to seeing life and death.
However, her former classmate was lying right under her nose, and she still felt a little sorrowful.
“She just became an adult…”
“…”
“Can I only say that it’s indeed the end of the world?”
Chen Yu pulled open his backpack and found a jacket to put on. He pushed Ma Li away and carefully picked up Bahuang Yao. He gently stroked the hair beside her ear and said, “Run first. There might be more people chasing after us.”
“…Okay.”
The two of them and a corpse set off again.
They ran for a full hour without stopping before they felt a little safe.
Ka.
Stopping, Chen Yu took off his mask and let out a deep breath. “That’s enough. We’re almost out of the river province. Those dogs can’t keep chasing us, right?”
“The capital…” Ma Li turned around and looked towards the west. “I wonder how it’s going now.”
“If it’s only been an hour. There shouldn’t be a winner yet. Let’s not talk about this for now. Let me ask you something.”
“Speak.”
“Is there any way to resurrect a person?” Chen Yu asked seriously.
“There’s no way.” Ma Li looked at the girl in Chen Yu’s arms and shook her head. “Dead means dead. A person can not be resurrected after death. Calm down.”
“What about faking death?”
“Faking death?” Ma Li was stunned.
“Yes.” Chen Yu’s eyes sparkled. “It’s to make the body fall into a state of death and then come back to life.”
“You mean…” Ma Li went forward and carefully observed Bahuang Yao. “She faked her death?”
“No, it has nothing to do with her. I mean, can I fake my death?”
“Why?” Ma Li was dumbfounded. “Don’t tell me… You want to marry her in hell?”
Slap!
Chen Yu slapped the top of Ma Li’s head. “Is there something wrong with your brain?”
“Then why do you want to fake your death?”
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu decided to keep it a secret from Ma Li. “Don’t worry about that. Is there a way to fake my death?”
“…Brother Yu, are you alright?” Ma Li reached out and touched Chen Yu’s forehead. “Why don’t I take you to see a psychiatrist first?”
“Don’t touch me.”
Chen Yu blocked Ma Li’s hand and said seriously, “Answer whatever I ask you. Is there a way to fake my death?”
“Yes.” Ma Li nodded. “If you only want to fake your death, I can find dozens of ways.”
“Okay.” Chen Yu patted Ma Li’s shoulder in satisfaction. “I’ll leave it to you.”
“No problem. But I have a condition.”
“Condition?” Chen Yu frowned. “What condition?”
“You have to suck up to me.”
Chen Yu: “Awesome, awesome! Big Brother, awesome!”
“That’s too perfunctory. Besides, I’m asking you to suck me, not to me!” As she said that, Ma Li turned around, turned her back to Chen Yu, and bent down. “Come, suck up to me.”
Chen Yu: “…WDNMD.”
…
Along the highway, the two continued to advance for another half an hour before entering the first city east of the capital.
Tang City.
Running from the capital city to Tang City took more than an hour.
It took them several hours to ride the bullet train from the capital city to Tang City.
From this, they could judge how slow the train was in the post-apocalyptic world…
They stopped.
Standing in front of the city gate.
Chen Yu became a bit absent-minded.
The scene that he had experienced with Zhang Tie, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yao in this city were still vivid in his mind as if it was yesterday.
However, now, Class 2 of Year 1, one was dead, one defected and one was a missing person…
He was the only one left.
“Brother Yu, what’s wrong?” Seeing Chen Yu stop, Ma Li was puzzled. “Go in.”
“Yes. Do you know where Tang City has a place to keep corpses?”
“In what way?”
“Keep them intact. I don’t want to soak her in formalin.”
“Then you can only freeze them at low temperatures. Come with me.”
The two entered the city and first asked about the situation in the capital. When they realized that there was no news, they hurried into a private hospital.
As they entered, Ma Li gave her name and used the internal communication to make a call. Then, she was respectfully sent to the private elevator by the service staff.
Ding.
They closed the door and pressed the bottom floor.
Ma Li spread her hands. “I’m the supplier of this hospital’s products.”
“Is it safe?” Chen Yu asked. “I’ll leave Xiao Yao here. Will there be anyone disturbing her?”
“Don’t worry, they won’t. I’ll give you a card in a while. It’s set to only allow you to enter.”
“Okay.”
Ding!
The elevator door opened.
Ma Li took a few familiar turns and entered a sealed room marked ‘Number 3’. She pulled on the main power.
Thump!
Thump, thump, thump…
The shadowless lights lit up one after another.
Chen Yu immediately saw the transparent box in the middle of the room.
“Is this it?”
“Yes, quickly put Bahuang Yao in. After setting the timer, it can be refrigerated.”
“How long can it last?”
“A long time.”
“That’s good.”
“If you’re willing to let her soak in the chemical solution for a period of time, her body can be preserved forever.”
“No need, just freezing will do.”
“Brother Yu, what are you trying to do?” Ma Li frowned.
Chen Yu did not answer.
He carried Bahuang Yao and walked forward. He carefully put her in and covered her with a glass cover.
“Brother Yu, I know you are hiding something from me.” Ma Li said solemnly, “But I have to explain in advance that freezing will cause the water in the cells to crystallize. If Xiao Yao is really only faking her death, she will really die after freezing.”
“I know. You don’t have to care about this. Now, prepare some methods to fake death for me.”
“Alright… then.”
Staring at Chen Yu, Ma Li dragged out a long voice. “You want it now?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, let Ma Ma prepare it for you.”
After saying that, Ma Li turned around and left.
Padah.
She quickly walked forward and locked the door.
Chen Yu looked around the room, reached out his hand, and deftly removed all the surveillance cameras. Then, he opened the glass cover of the box and took off all of Bahuang Yao’s clothes.
“Hmm, the lock-shaped tattoo is still there…”
Pa.
After throwing away the clothes that were stained with blood, Chen Yu received a basin of water and gently wiped the stains on the girl’s body.
Even her hair was washed.
He only put Bahuang Yao back into the box after she was clean and white.
Leaning against the box, he reached out and touched the girl’s cheek.
After a long silence, he turned around and took out a piece of paper and a pen from his backpack, and began to write a letter.
[Bahuang Yao:]
[When you read this letter, I should be dead.]
[So many days (crossed out)]
[So many years (crossed out)]
[For so long, I have been looking for a way to revive you. It seems that I have failed. There is only one reason for you to read this letter, and that is that I am really dead.]
[All of this started the night after the elimination round.]
[That night, I took a shower and lay on the bed. Just as I was about to go to bed, your brother came (crossed out).]
[That night, your brother did something to me that you couldn’t imagine (crossed out).]
[That night, your brother left (crossed out) on me.]
[That night… F*ck (crossed out).]
[After the elimination round, your brother came looking for me…]
…
A letter, 2,000 words. Chen Yu scribbled and corrected it. It took him more than half an hour to finish writing it.
“Phew…”
Chen Yu blew on the letter. He was very satisfied.
He folded the letter and carefully observed it for a while. Then, he hid the letter in Bahuang Yao’s hair.
This was just in case.
It was to prevent her from ‘dying violently’. After Bahuang Yao was resurrected, she would still be so dumb that she wouldn’t know anything…
With his arms crossed, Chen Yu raised his head and pondered.
After confirming that he did not forget anything else, he closed the glass cover. After hesitating for a moment, he turned on the freeze switch.
Hiss hiss hiss…
The machine began to work.
White frost hung on the glass cover.
Chen Yu took a few steps back and looked deeply at the girl’s body. “Don’t worry, it’s just sleeping for a while.”
“You’ll wake up soon.”
“If it really doesn’t work, I can still learn your brother’s move. I can’t let you die…”
“But should I say it or not? I’ve misunderstood you. Your chest… is really not flat.”
“…”
“It’s a little concave…”
Bahuang Yao opened her eyes slightly. “…”
Chen Yu: “!!?”
