"What's wrong, kid Xue? You come here and you want to talk to me about something?" The old man was still wearing his Ultraman suit. He seemed to really like the suit, and it felt like he spent most of the day wearing it and parading around.
But it's one of the few hobbies this old man has, so let's indulge him if he likes it. After all, it's not easy for him to have such a good time.
But Xue Dinglu really had something important to say. He came into our meeting room and said, "Old man, I suspect a ghost has come to my side. Can you take a look and see what's going on? And is it a real ghost...?"
After Xue Lude brought the old man to the consciousness space, seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar place, old Barak exclaimed, "What space is this? How did it become like this?"
When he was chained to the Holy Light here, it was empty, there was nothing there, no reference point. But when he came back the second time, a school appeared, and now there is a giant divine tree that blots out the sky, which amazes even this old Deng who has little knowledge.
"Don't interrupt, take a look at this..." Xue Dinglu pulled the female ghost out.
Now the female ghost's body is even more transparent, and while her whole body is twisted, she is as docile as a quail. The holy light's restraint on the undead is still obvious, and even such a female ghost seems to be on the verge of disappearing at any moment.
"A Banshee! A legendary Banshee! Damn it, Xue kid, where did you get this thing? Is your world about to be struck by an undead catastrophe?!" Old Barak immediately bristled and roared in anger.
There are over eight billion people in this world! If a cataclysmic disaster were to break out, that would be truly bizarre, with over eight billion undead in the entire world!
"Don't get excited, don't panic, there won't be a cataclysmic disaster." Xue Dinglu even tried to calm the old man down.
He wouldn't let any danger appear on Earth. Even after he retrieved the female corpse that appeared at the University of Science and Technology of China, Xue Lude checked everyone with holy light and only stopped caring after finding that they would at most have diarrhea.
As for Barak's stress response, Xue's Law could understand it, after all, he had witnessed how the Scourge had gradually transformed the original empire into a living hell.
It's normal for people to have PTSD from the Scourge.
It is now certain that this female ghost is indeed an undead, and even the same kind of undead calamity that once occurred in the empire of Old Barak.
Is there something wrong with this thing becoming the traveler on this trip?
This was the first time Xue Dinglu had ever encountered a traveler from the pure chaotic side. The ones who had come into his consciousness space before were at most neither good nor evil. This was truly a rare sight.
That's what he was thinking.
But the old ghost clearly didn't think so. A holy sword appeared on Ultraman's suit, and he roared, "You born evil ghost, I will personally kill you with the Ultra Sword!"
Xue's Law: "..."
"No, no, no, old man, don't do this. I need to keep this for myself..." Xue Dinglu immediately stopped old Barak.
The female ghost... or rather, this female demon, has great research value for Xue's Law.
Xue even wanted to try to deduce the planet she was on; if the old man killed her there, it would be a huge loss.
"And Xue, how did the Banshee of the Dead appear here? The conditions for its birth are extremely harsh. It requires a woman to endure great resentment and curses before death, and it also requires extremely strong energy after death for it to have a very small chance of being born. When I was young, I only saw one elite-level Banshee of the Dead, and it almost wiped out my entire squad..." Old Barak said, still staring at the Banshee with great vigilance.
"The Banshee's abilities include distorting cognition, screaming, soul impact, and possessing others to forcibly control their bodies. She is one of the most troublesome types of undead. In the Empire, the damage caused by this legendary banshee is no less than that of the Lich King, and may even be greater."
"Okay, I understand." Xue Dinglu nodded, then said, "Alright, I understand. You can go back to selling fried noodles. I need to deal with this undead banshee first."
"We must not let her escape, or she will unleash a cataclysmic disaster upon the world!"
"I understand."
Xue's Law would not allow the undead calamity to occur in his world, so he decided to start researching the banshee directly.
As for his family still having fun at the guesthouse, Xue Dinglu thought he would go out and meet them after he had thoroughly studied the female demon.
Several hours later, Xue finally found a coordinate on the banshee's body and also understood how the banshee came to be...
She didn't emerge from the refresh time of her own consciousness space, but from the female corpse he had previously dissected...
He arrived at the sacred tree and discovered that a corpse was hanging on it—the very same nameless woman whose body he had buried.
This undead banshee is the soul of the nameless female corpse, born after being nourished by the divine tree. Originally, this banshee would have been completely absorbed by the divine tree, but because the divine tree was sealed and suppressed by Xue Lude, by a twist of fate, the undead virus on her body broke out, and she broke free from the absorption of the divine tree, thus wandering into the academy.
"So, your world also experienced a cataclysmic event? It's just that you had very little undead curse, the kind that prevents you from becoming an undead after death, but by some twist of fate, the Divine Tree ate your corpse, turning you into a banshee?" Xue connected all the information.
Chapter 416 has a big problem; panicking won't help.
The banshee continued to wail as if she had no intelligence whatsoever.
Xue Luding arrived at the Divine Tree and saw the corpse hanging on it. The corpse, which had been swollen and rotting after the giant's visit, had now been sucked dry and looked like a dried-up corpse.
The sacred tree is not picky about food; it can even eat the dead. The problem is that it doesn't clean the corpse properly, which eventually led to the infection of the undead and the formation of the current banshee.
The divine tree remained unmoved, as if driven only by its own instincts.
However, the advantage is that the Divine Tree's actions allowed Xue Lude to discover more information from the female corpse, from which no information could be found before. Even though the spirit could not speak, it could still provide a lot of information.
When Xue Law left the space of consciousness, he found that old Barak was still waiting for him outside.
"What's wrong?" Xue asked.
"Want to stay for a meal? It's freshly cooked." The old man, wearing a leather suit, sat down next to Xue Luding and even put his hand on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Xue Dinglu was immediately filled with questions.
"But now I've discovered that your world also has some bad aspects. It turns out that being too technologically advanced can also have negative effects," the old man said with a sigh.
Xue's Law: "?"
"Isn't that obvious? What's wrong?"
“I just realized that what you’ve been eating has been frozen for years. But that’s technology. This kind of thing is a luxury in the Empire. The Empire doesn’t have the resources to freeze food for that long. But for you, frozen food is never as good as fresh food. I can cook you a few dishes right now so you can have something better.” Old Barak patted Xue Luding on the shoulder, as if to say, “I know all this.”
Xue's Law: "???"
Wait, what exactly did you watch? It's like I grew up eating the periodic table.
The old man didn't say anything, but kept pulling Xue Dinglu to let him taste his cooking.
Xue Dinglu eventually succumbed to the old man's persuasion and joined the queue at the noodle stall, just like the other children.
At this moment, some parents with children chatted with Xue Dinglu: "Young man, you don't want to eat pre-cooked food lately, do you? We never expected there to be such a treasure near our home. Look, the vegetables in the baskets that Ultraman and the monsters are holding are all freshly picked by us. We also watched them knead the noodles. The wheat comes from the fields over there. This is what you call green and healthy."
Xue's Law: "..."
Looking at these two parents who seemed like successful people, Xue Dinglu immediately covered his forehead.
He felt that the world was too uneven. To him, this place was just a fairytale-like rural environment, basically restoring the medieval customs in fairytales. He was just here to have some fun.
So you guys really think the fresh vegetables here are something special?
Xue Dinglu could only offer an awkward yet polite smile.
Maybe they've never seen farmland before and are just here to experience life...
Soon it was his turn. Xue Luding tasted the fried noodles and was immediately impressed. Old Barak's cooking skills were only passable, but the flavor of the ingredients was like something out of a fairy tale.
Only then did he realize that there was a magical residue in the food! This flavor was the unique magical taste of those artificially cultivated vegetables, similar to popping candy and a full-carbonated cola, except that this magic was very weak and easily neutralized by enzymes.
The benefit is that after eating it, you will experience a unique feeling of excitement and comfort.
Wait, is this thing compliant with regulations? Won't it be classified as something strange?
Xue Lude ate bite by bite, feeling the faint magic emanating from it. This magic was so faint that Xue Lude couldn't even sense it before; only the sensitive organs like the taste buds could barely perceive it.
"Dad, are you going home today? If you are, we'll pack our things and go home too," said Little Dragon's mother.
"Yes, but I won't be able to play with you guys for a while. You go and have fun." Xue Dinglu roughly ruffled Xiaolongniang's hair, turning her originally smooth hair into a bird's nest.
The eldest daughter also angrily hissed, but this had no effect on Xue Daolu. Xue Daolu then rubbed and played around with her again.
……
A space of consciousness, a sealed room, a bound banshee...
The body may not have left enough information, but the spirit of the dead will.
This is a normal phenomenon. The corpse had been soaking in the water room for too long, causing all the matter in its body to be destroyed by microorganisms on Earth, but the soul was not.
According to old Barak, the undead may not be the original soul, but most likely just a monster that inherited the original body's memories. Even if the memories are the same, due to the difference in identity, feedback, and consciousness, it is not the same soul as before.
Perhaps there is some truth to this, which is why Xue's Law actually found information about her homeland from this female demon!
To be precise, it was found in the "undead factor" on her body. According to old Barak, Xue's Law found the coordinates of another world in it.
But looking at these coordinates, Xue Lude was immediately filled with doubt.
He took out his notebook and found the coordinates one by one. To avoid forgetting them, he would make a backup copy, and the system panel left by the Great Sage would also record a copy.
This thing is like a phone number; if you don't use it for a long time, you'll naturally forget it.
Xue Dinglu instantly found the familiar coordinates among them; they were the coordinates of the old Demon Emperor's homeland, a war-torn world in the old Demon Emperor's words, a world in chaos where hundreds of tribes were fighting each other.
Hundreds of races and tribes began the most brutal and bloody war. The old Demon Emperor was the first to unite everyone, but his rule lasted for less than 14 years before collapsing completely and splitting into countless small countries, beginning a war that would last for who knows how many years.
The old Demon Emperor has been diligently governing another world all this time in order to verify what he has learned from his enlightenment on Earth.
Then, he prepared to return to his hometown to begin a standard "The three-year period has come to an end, welcome back the Demon Emperor!"
Or perhaps it's "My foolish people, I have returned!"
He has always been cultivating a successor in his heart, as can be seen from the fact that he sent Bai Ya to Earth to study. However, Bai Ya and Siam have both gone astray and have now become farmers and breeders.
But the old Demon Emperor always dreamed of returning home in glory, to prove to everyone that he was right, that his idea of unification was not the problem, and that only some of his methods were flawed.
However, Xue Lude could no longer laugh, because even though the female corpse was dead and had drifted to Earth, the tiny bit of energy left after the divine tree ate her body could still transform her into a ghost!
This proves that the old Demon Emperor's homeland is suffering from a calamity of the undead!
This old man's house was infested with insect swarms before, and now it's infested with undead. What kind of sins has their world committed?
Will we add an Omnic and a Demon next, making it the four great calamities?
Xue Lude carefully checked the coordinates extracted from the banshee again, and they matched perfectly with the coordinates of the old demon emperor recorded in his notebook...
Oh no, we're doomed!
Old man, when you go home, you might not need a unified world anymore. Your world might just become a single race, the undead...
Xue Dinglu thought to himself.
……
Dragon Star, in the old Demon Emperor's palace.
"What, undead!" The old Demon Emperor was so shocked by this news that he sat up in shock, even though he was on his deathbed.
Xue Dinglu did not hide anything and directly took out the few organs from the female corpse in his hand, the hardened core, and the undead banshee bound hand and foot by holy light chains.
Upon seeing this, the old Demon Emperor slumped onto the bench, muttering repeatedly, "How could this be... how could this happen..."
He recognized them; they were a race from their world called the Treants, a race very similar to Earthlings. There were quite a few similar groups in their world.
But now, after Xue Luding fully recounted the origin of the female corpse and the birth of the undead banshee, the old demon emperor suddenly became dejected.
