Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 2 If You Are God, That's Okay
"Your Excellency."

Archbishop Anthony saw Yu Jin looking down at the badge and fell silent. He said gently, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Or perhaps you can choose to take a rest and ask again tomorrow."

"..."

Yu Jin lowered his head in silence and did not answer him.

Archbishop Anthony did not show any impatience at all and just waited quietly by the side.

But at this time, Yu Jin was already lost in his memories.

There is no doubt that the moment Yu Jin tried to search his memory, he found that his memory was extremely messy and fragmented.

Of course.

He remembered that he was an ember, and that he was an undead.

As an undead man, he gradually turns into a zombie after dying again and again, which leads to his gradual amnesia.

This also resulted in his current memory being quite limited.

He remembered that he was Ember, and he remembered Fire Keeper, Patch, Frustrated, Thor, and Onion Knight...

He still remembered his mission, which was to find the Lord of Fire and continue the First Flame, and he even remembered that he was once a time traveler.

But only some vague fragments remain of the memory before the time travel.

It was as if he remembered that he had read Lord of the Mysteries, and even read it no less than five times when he was out of books.

But now his memory of the plot of this book is already vague.

Even though he still had some impression of the main characters in the story, he could use them to remind himself that he had watched "Lord of the Mysteries".

But other than that, he could only remember a few fragmentary plot fragments.

But he didn't know whether these plot fragments were coherent or whether they had a certain connection in time.

If one compares human memory to a library, then his current state is—

He still remembers the titles of most of the books in the library.

Even a few of them still remember the introduction and table of contents, but the contents of almost all the books have become blurry.

So even though he tried hard to search the memories in his mind, he was still unable to connect the scene in front of him with his memories.

"I……"

Ember opened his mouth somewhat dryly, "Where am I now?"

"Backlund North District, Saint Samuel Church."

Archbishop Anthony nodded four times clockwise on his chest and whispered.

"Where is the Salary King?"

Ember demanded.

For him who has lost most of his memories, the Salary King is the only important thing to him.

"I don't know what the salary king is."

Archbishop Anthony shook his head. "But according to the will of the Goddess, I can give you a hint, [Black Emperor]."

"The Black Emperor?"

Yu Jin muttered the term in a low voice, his brows furrowed beneath his helmet.

He seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember the specific details.

Compared to this unknown Black Emperor, he felt that the Goddess of Night mentioned by the other party might be more specific.

Since it is a god, it must be able to be burned as firewood, right?
Although it is obvious that hunting gods is not easy, it doesn't matter, as he has killed gods before.

"strangeness."

Yu Jin was suddenly stunned and confused, "When have I ever killed a god? Are there real gods in Soul 3?"

"Forget it, none of this matters."

Having lost most of his memories, Ember quickly stopped thinking because he knew that even if he thought, no results would be obtained.

"Anyway, first find a way to find the Black Emperor. If you can't find him, find the Goddess of Night. One of them can always be used as firewood."

"And if we want to find the Black Emperor..."

Yu Jin looked up at the old man in front of him. Since the other party gave a hint, it meant that he would provide some help in this matter.

So at the moment, finding the Black Emperor should be relatively easy.

"Your Excellency."

Seeing Yu Jin looking at him, Archbishop Anthony gently said, "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"No."

Yu Jin shook his head. He didn't even know what to ask, so how could he know what else to ask.

In short, end the conversation quickly, leave the church and go outside to open the map first.

"So."

Anthony tapped his chest four times clockwise and said apologetically, "Sir, please forgive me for dragging you into the dream without permission. Please allow me to end the dream for the time being."

As soon as he finished speaking, everything around him suddenly shattered like a mirror, as if to reveal the reality of this world.

However, when the surrounding space was shattered, the ashes were still in the church.

The old man who called himself Anthony still stood in front of him, and nothing seemed to have changed.

Until he saw the old man in front of him speak.

“……*&&@￥￥@……” “……”

Yu Jin quietly looked at the old man who was speaking some incomprehensible language. The old man seemed to realize that Yu Jin could not understand it, but did not try to pull Yu Jin into the dream again. Instead, he handed him a brown eyeball.

If you don't look carefully, you might mistake it for a dark brown gem.

Yu Jin took the eyeball and glanced at it subconsciously.

【The Eyes of the Mentally Ill (3-0999)

A Sequence 9 reader who was expelled from the Church of Knowledge prayed to a hidden existence to understand various languages, and made this magical item at the cost of his life.

It can make common people understand common language

The holder will continue to be subjected to secret whispers. For safety reasons, the holder's intelligence must not be lower than 9.

"..."

The expression under the Ember mask twitched slightly, which reminded him of the scene when he met his magic teacher in the Fran Forest and was ridiculed by him when his intelligence was only 9.

"Your Excellency?"

Archbishop Anthony looked at the ember with concern, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Ember looked up.

This time he understood what the other party said, and the corresponding noun appeared in his mind -

Loenese.

"No."

Yu Jin listened in silence for a while, then shook his head.

He did not hear the mumbling mentioned in the equipment introduction. Perhaps this was because of his extremely high intelligence.

At least more than 9!

"That's good."

Anthony nodded silently, and then said, "Does Your Excellency need to rest first?"

"Where's the bonfire?"

Yu Jin nodded slightly and asked politely.

Considering that the other party gave him the Eye of Wisdom, his attitude could be a little better.

"I don't know about bonfires."

Anthony seemed to be prepared for the strange 'noun' that Yu Jin said, and he just said gently, "But I have prepared a room for you upstairs, you can go and have a rest."

"No campfire?"

Yu Jin frowned, but didn't say much. He just followed Anthony upstairs in silence.

I followed him into the room in silence and watched him respectfully leave the room in silence.

Silently, I watched the room, which was occupied by only one person, fall into silence.

Ember looked at the bed, but didn't lie down on it to rest.

Because he couldn't rest without a campfire.

So he walked to the mirror hanging on the wall and slowly took off his knight's helmet.

Under the helmet was a face that made him feel familiar and friendly.

It was a normal face, handsome and even a little childish.

But the overall expression gives people a serious and lifeless feeling.

But in any case, he did not become a zombie.

[Curse: 0]

Yu Jin glanced at his panel and found that no curses were accumulated.

Of course.

Because he wants to pass on the fire, he must find the Fire Keeper to wash away the dark mark before passing on the fire.

Without the curse of the Dark Mark, he was just a ball of embers with immortal properties, and naturally he would not transform into a zombie again.

Obviously his amnesia was not caused by the curse of zombie transformation.

The only possibility is that it was burned out after the fire was passed on, leaving only residue.

But if that is the case, then he must have had memories before he passed on the fire.

If this is the case, then why did he choose to pass on the fire rather than extinguish the fire, seize the fire, or usurp the fire?
Embers have no relevant memories.

But he was sure.

As long as I have my memories, no matter what I choose, I will never choose to pass on the fire!

But he also clearly remembered that his final choice was to pass on the fire.

Then.

Why would I, who have memories, pass on the fire and be willing to be burned to ashes?

Could it be that long before the fire was passed on, he had already lost his memory due to the continuous deaths caused by the curse before it was lifted?
PS: Passing on the fire is equivalent to the obsession of the embers. Even if they are clearly aware that they do not want to pass on the fire, the obsession will eventually drive them to pass on the fire.

It’s like you can clearly realize that staying up late and using catheters are wrong, but you still succumb to staying up late and using catheters.
