Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 5: Soul Collapse
Even though Xie Shen is the reincarnation of a powerful Yuanying stage master and his willpower is far beyond that of ordinary people, he still feels despair when faced with such a predicament.

Feeling frustrated, he thought of a solution that was not a solution, so he spoke to Deng Bin.

"It's really hard to stay in this 'tower' prison, especially when you know there's no way you can escape."

"So I plan to erase my consciousness. To put it simply, I want to make myself brain dead and turn into a vegetable."

"In this way, even if I have to stay in the Tower for dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of years, it will only take a moment."

The method described by Xie Shen only broadened Deng Bin's horizons.

He asked curiously, "Can you erase your consciousness? How do you do it?"

Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "My soul. Uh, you can think of it as mental power. My mental power is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people, so I can easily close my five senses and make myself feel no pain."

"Then, I can also actively erase my consciousness and turn myself into a state of brain death."

"Of course, this state is definitely irreversible, so it is equivalent to suicide."

"But the problem is, don't we still have the resurrection technique?"

"So even if I'm brain dead, it's not a big problem."

After hearing this, Deng Bin looked thoughtful.

After a while, he said with a hint of disappointment in his tone: "Since your ability is innate, does that mean I can't learn it?"

"Ah."

Xie Shen answered truthfully: "So, the reason why I never taught you this ability is not because I don't want to, but because I really can't teach you."

"And then it was"

Xie Shen Chong warned Deng Bin: "I am worried that after I die of brain death, something unexpected will happen in the Tower prison, such as humans outside coming to rescue us."

"In order to seize the opportunity to escape, you must remember to kill me when the time comes. This way, I can come back to life and regain consciousness."

"Wait for someone outside to rescue us?" Deng Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Instead of waiting for someone outside to rescue us, we might as well pray that the earth explodes sooner, so that we can also be freed."

Xie Shen replied: "I'm just giving an example."

"This kind of opportunity doesn't necessarily mean that someone outside will come to rescue us. It could also be that something unexpected happened inside the prison, or a natural disaster like an earthquake destroyed the Tower."

"Although the chance of this happening is very small, what if it happens?"

"Right."

Xie Shen began to paint a rosy picture for Deng Bin: "Then in return: If one day in the future, we really escape from this 'tower', I will teach you the method of cultivation, so that you can become an immortal through cultivation, that is, the kind that can fly into the sky and hide in the ground."

"Immortal?" Deng Bin looked at Xie Shen thoughtfully and asked, "What did you do before you were resurrected?"

"Ah,"

Faced with this question, Xie Shen just smiled mysteriously and did not respond.

Seeing that Xie Shen was unwilling to say more, Deng Bin tactfully stopped asking further questions.

He said solemnly: "Okay, I promise you: if anything happens to the Tower, I will kill you immediately, but don't forget your promise."

Xie Shen also said solemnly: "I will never forget it."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and said no more.

Not long after.

After concentrating his mind carefully, Xie Shen began to try to guide his soul out of his body, which is called "soul leaving the body".

——The soul leaving the body is a magical power that only cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage can master.

However, Xie Shen is not a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, so if he forcibly uses this magical power, it will only lead to the collapse of his own soul.

To put it simply, it means brain death and becoming a vegetable.

This is a bad thing.

But in this prison called "The Tower", the collapse of the soul has become a means of avoiding endless torture.

in the room.

Under Deng Bin's gaze, Xie Shen, who had extracted his soul from his body, suddenly tilted his head and became motionless. "Brother?"

Seeing that Xie Shen had clearly lost consciousness but had not yet triggered the automatic resurrection mechanism of the 'Tower' prison, Deng Bin was curious and could not help but reach out to feel Xie Shen's breath.

Seeing that the other party was still alive, he immediately showed an incredible expression.

This method.
It's really a card bug.

In fact, Xie Shen's vegetative state cannot last long. After all, he is tortured by Deng Bin for 15 hours every day. After he dies from his serious injuries and is resurrected by the "Tower" prison, he will regain consciousness because his state has been refreshed.

In other words, Xie Shen needs to perform a "soul-out-of-body experience" almost every day to erase his consciousness and maintain a state of brain death.

This process takes about ten minutes.

That is to say, Xie Shen would stay awake for ten minutes every day, and fall into deep sleep for the rest of the time.
...

time flies.

With the help of the "Soul Out of Body" method, Xie Shen spent more than ten years in the "Tower" prison without realizing it.

As for how long is "more than ten years"?
Since there was no sunlight in the Tower Prison all day, Xie Shen could only make a rough estimate and it was difficult to get the exact time.

This day.

After Xie Shen was tortured to death and resurrected, he discovered that a countdown had inexplicably appeared on the electronic display screen in the room where he was.

The time displayed on the countdown is [6 hours, 32 minutes and 17 seconds].

Seeing this scene, Xie Shen was no longer in a hurry to perform the "Soul Out of the Body" method, but just looked at Deng Bin lying in the corner of the room.

This guy is so exhausted that he is still sleeping soundly.

So Xie Shen yelled at him: "Hey! Wake up."

"Huh? What?"

Dunbin, who was awakened, suddenly opened his eyes.

There was no need for Xie Shen to remind him, he noticed the countdown on the electronic display screen himself.

Then he said to Xie Shen with a sad face: "It's over. Our time is up. It's time to start the next reincarnation."

"Next reincarnation?" Xie Shen asked, "Does it mean that I will be the one to torture you?"

"Ah."

Dunbin replied: "But it's not to torture me. In the next reincarnation, the Tower will arrange for you to torture others."

"As for me"

"The Tower will arrange for me to go to another room and let someone else torture me."

"My hard times are coming."

"Brother, you don't know." Dunbin complained, "People like us who get along well are actually a minority."

"Most people in the Tower are of that kind."

"Forehead"

Dunbin described: "You can't say they are crazy. After all, resurrection can completely refresh a person's mental state."

"But in short, if a person is locked up in a tower for a long time, he or she will have some psychological problems to some extent."

"This kind of problem cannot be fixed by refreshing your mental state after resurrection."

"People like me who have been locked up for more than a hundred years, or people like you who have only been locked up for a few decades, are actually still mentally healthy."

"But those who have been imprisoned for four or five hundred years, five or six hundred years, or even a thousand years."

“What do they say?”

"Anyway, it's very perverted!"
