Strange Cards

Chapter 127 Resurrection?

"I have an ability in my card. If that ability comes true, I will become the test subject."

"Enhanced regeneration? But that stuff can easily cause fatal injuries; you might not be able to save him."

"The worst-case scenario is that if the atomic recombination fails, a hand will grow from your skin, and it's possible that because the nerves are connected, you can't cut it off or leave it uncut."

Shi Yu glanced at Guan Yun and said irritably.

"I know what the Jack of Spades' ability is; it's useless against fatal wounds."

"I had already considered death, so I used the Ace of Spades to conduct another hypothetical experiment."

Guan Yun wasn't stupid; after a little thought, he knew what Shi Yu's experiment was.

"You mean...."

Shi Yu nodded.

"Recently, I've been studying the human body in my spare time. I've come to understand and can now make many human organs."

"But unfortunately, once I stop using my supernatural powers to reinforce those things, they will disappear after my supernatural powers are exhausted. And even if these things are reinforced, they can't be used for a short period of time."

"Moreover, these things were all reconstructed from my body. According to simulation experiments, if someone else were to receive these organs, it would cause a very strong rejection reaction."

"So your idea didn't actually succeed, did it?"

"Um."

Shi Yu snapped his fingers, and the laboratory went dark and was sealed off. Just then, Shi Yu threw a black cloth into the sky.

Suddenly, the black cloth was blocked by something. After Shigure tore off the black cloth, a body exactly like Shigure's was revealed.

".........I admit you're more insane than I am when it comes to research."

"You flatter me."

Shi Yu pointed to the body that looked just like hers.

"This body's stats are exactly the same as mine, even the growth rates of its hair and nails are identical."

"However, this body has been unusable; in layman's terms, it is in a state of brain death."

"After the experiment, I came to a conclusion."

At this moment, Guan Yun was completely captivated by Shi Yu's crazy experiment and quickly asked a question.

"What conclusion?"

"If I don't die, I'll never be able to cross that threshold."

"What do you mean?"

Shi Yu snapped his fingers, illuminating a large holographic screen, and then posted the conclusions he had drawn from his experiments onto the screen.

"This body cannot be activated by any means, even if it is placed in an amniotic fluid culture dish and subjected to a normal human birth, it still cannot be activated."

"Then I thought of a possibility, which is about consciousness."

"consciousness?"

"right."

Shi Yu pulled out several experimental conclusions and said.

"I believe that the human body is just a vessel for consciousness. If consciousness can continue to exist, like those ghosts, then humanity can achieve true immortality."

"The physical body will eventually disappear due to oxidation and wear, but consciousness will not."

"The only thing that can wear down consciousness is time. As long as consciousness keeps changing bodies without being worn down, it can survive."

"Flesh and blood are weak, while machinery ascends?"

"Yes, but also no."

Shi Yu snapped his fingers, and through reconstruction and reverse decomposition, he disassembled the body.

"To give an example, I am not Shigure now; Shigure is a consciousness within this body."

"After the physical body dies, consciousness dissipates and shatters. If reincarnation exists, then the birth of an infant is the result of the shattered consciousness being matched with a new container. The difficulty of my experiment is that this container may not be able to collect the dissipated consciousness."

"If I die and my consciousness doesn't transfer to that new body, then I'm truly dead, beyond saving."

After listening to Shiyu's explanation, Guan Yun finally understood what ability Shiyu wanted to use.

"You want to achieve a kind of immortality, that is, resurrection after death, by constantly reconstructing your body with the Ace of Spades to prolong your consciousness?"

Shi Yu nodded.

"That's right."

"My body has been plagued by cancer, and one day my body will completely collapse."

"If I can't be cured before my body collapses, I will die, but now I have a reason to live, and I don't want to die."

"Although the reconstructed body can only reach the state I was in when I obtained the card, and although I was already sick at that time, I had more time to accomplish more possibilities."

"Please keep this experiment a secret."

"I will, although it's presumptuous of me, but I still want to know your reasons for doing so."

"My body is getting worse every day because of using the Remnant Fire Mech and the cards. Although the cards can slowly take away my illness, the rate at which they take away my illness is getting slower and slower as I use the Remnant Fire Mech and the cards again and again."

"Surgery can only provide some relief; it's unlikely to cure me completely."

"So I will do everything in my power to complete this experiment before I die, regardless of whether it succeeds or not."

"If I succeed, I can continue to live; if I fail, I can only accept my original fate of death."

Guan Yun opened his mouth as if to say something but found he couldn't speak. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said...

"A good mood is essential for fighting cancer."

"Many people in this world have successfully fought cancer, and you will be one of them."

"I usually prepare for the worst; that's a conclusion I've drawn from living this long."

Guan Yun took a deep breath and said.

"This project will not be approved until your experiment is successful, that's for sure."

"And what you're worried about is probably that something strange has appeared in other cities, making it impossible to get there."

"That was certainly a consideration, but more importantly, I wanted to leave something for those who came after me before I died."

"You don't need to worry about that."

After removing the protective gear from the laboratory, Guan Yun picked up a cup of coffee.

"Each base will appear in the city with the most monsters in its area, and radiate outwards layer by layer."

"The cities furthest from the base are usually cities where ghosts rarely appear. Many cities have only one or even no record of ghosts appearing at all."

"We still have backup plans in other cities. Even if something does happen, we can get there in five minutes at most."

Guan Yun calmly took a sip of coffee and said.

"The research on this satellite and that experiment are very constructive, and with the help of the smoke cloud, your satellite research has already completed a large part."

"It's just a pity that the research experiment won't be approved; it's against human ethics."

"Okay, I thought it would work."

After sighing, Shi Yu collected all the data into a folder, locked it, and then threw it into Yan Yun's design waste disposal site.
