Chapter 800: Chapter 794: Mysterious Spiritual Body

A thread of Spiritual Body?

It can’t even take shape.

That must mean this thread of Spiritual Body is indeed weak.

At this point, Lin Yuan can basically confirm that the unseen presence within the coffin truly has no intention of harming him.

Or perhaps, it doesn’t even have the strength to harm Lin Yuan.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan tentatively asked, “When were you born?”

Lin Yuan’s question made the Spiritual Body pause, and she didn’t respond for a while.

Just as Lin Yuan thought she wouldn’t answer,

She slowly replied, “I…”

“I don’t remember, it’s been many years. At first I was in a daze, gradually developing consciousness.”

“Since I gained consciousness, it’s been three thousand six hundred years!”

Even though Lin Yuan cannot see this mysterious Spiritual Body,

Through their interaction, Lin Yuan can feel that she’s extremely gentle.

While she’s very gentle, she’s also very talkative.

No matter what Lin Yuan asks her, she seems willing to answer.

Of course, there’s another possibility: this mysterious Spiritual Body is trapped inside the Blood Coffin and too lonely.

Usually, there’s no one to talk to her.

Now, encountering Lin Yuan, who is willing to speak with her, naturally she talks more.

Lin Yuan remembers when he first met the chubby old man, he was the same, very talkative.

It seems, after spending long enough in such a place, people become like this.

Lin Yuan has searched all thirty-three levels of the space.

Yet, he still hasn’t found the final matrix controlling the Returning Ruins.

Originally, Lin Yuan thought that the final matrix controlling the Returning Ruins was inside this Blood Coffin.

But now, even inside the Blood Coffin, Lin Yuan still hasn’t found the matrix.

“Impossible!”

“Why isn’t it here?”

“Why isn’t it here?” Lin Yuan scratched his head furiously, unable to comprehend.

Could it be that the chubby old man lied to him?

But then, what would be the point of deceiving him to come here?

It must be noted, Lin Yuan had attracted Wa Huang, and the chubby old man risked his life to help Lin Yuan fend off Wa Huang, allowing him to come here.

If there’s no final matrix controlling the Returning Ruins, what’s the point in deceiving him to come here?

But Lin Yuan truly searched everywhere here; what isn’t here simply isn’t here.

Inside the red coffin, besides this bed, there’s truly nothing else.

At this moment, all of Lin Yuan’s hope rests on this mysterious Spiritual Body.

Hopefully, he can learn the location of the final matrix controlling the Returning Ruins from her.

Since this mysterious Spiritual Body is willing to answer Lin Yuan’s questions, then Lin Yuan won’t hold back.

Lin Yuan stopped beating around the bush and directly asked, “Is there any matrix here?”

“A matrix that can control the Returning Ruins?”

Lin Yuan’s question made the mysterious Spiritual Body pause again for a long time without an answer.

Perhaps she stalled, or maybe Lin Yuan burned out her CPU.

“What is a matrix?”

“What is the Returning Ruins?”

“How can a matrix control the Returning Ruins?” The mysterious Spiritual Body replied with three consecutive questions.

Lin Yuan: “??????”

Lin Yuan was dumbfounded; his questions were obviously misdirected!

This mysterious Spiritual Body doesn’t even know what a matrix or Returning Ruins is?

She is clueless!

Since direct questions yielded no result, Lin Yuan had to resort to indirect questioning.

However, after a round of indirect questioning, Lin Yuan nearly drove himself mad.

He realized he had completely overestimated this mysterious Spiritual Body.

Though this mysterious Spiritual Body has existed for who knows how many years and has been conscious for three thousand six hundred years,

During this time, she has never left the Blood Coffin.

At most, she might open a crack in the red coffin and secretly peek outside.

Meaning, the things she’s seen and known are only within the area near the red coffin.

She rescued Lin Yuan because in countless years, the Corpse Transformation Demon Gods inside the mounds have rioted more than once.

In the past, these corpse-transformed Demon Gods also rioted.

However, short riots lasted three to five days, longer ones could be half a month to a year, before retreating back into the mounds.

This mysterious Spiritual Body is truly like a frog at the bottom of a well, only seeing the sky as big as the well’s opening.

Thinking about it, Lin Yuan realized something again.

“Wait!”

“That’s not right!” Lin Yuan thought of a key issue; earlier, the mysterious Spiritual Body mentioned people and the concepts of day, month, and year.

According to her, since she gained consciousness, she’s never left the red coffin, so how does she have basic concepts like people and day, month, year?

Could she be playing dumb to deceive me?

But then again, Lin Yuan feels she’s not pretending.

Because from his conversation with the mysterious Spiritual Body, he feels she’s genuinely not pretending.

She seems genuinely naïve, like a college student with that clear yet foolish look in their eyes.

Thinking of this, rather than guessing wildly, Lin Yuan simply asked directly.

If the mysterious Spiritual Body tells the truth, that’s best.

If she lies, the more lies she tells, the more likely they’ll contain holes.

In the world, there is no flawless lie; the more lies, the more loopholes.

“How do you know basic concepts like time and people?” Lin Yuan asked.

This time, the mysterious Spiritual Body didn’t hesitate and answered directly, “I don’t know; when I gained consciousness, this information was already there.”

“At first, I couldn’t understand; as time passed, I seemed to slowly start understanding.”

Lin Yuan pondered deeply, wondering what was going on!

He couldn’t understand what kind of existence this mysterious Spiritual Body is.

Lin Yuan carefully recalled each moment of his conversation with the mysterious Spiritual Body.

He discovered that whenever he asked relatively complex questions, the mysterious Spiritual Body would pause before answering.

The more complex the question, the longer she paused.

She would answer simpler questions more directly.

This seemed like….

Insufficient memory causing lag?

Could it be that this mysterious Spiritual Body is artificial intelligence?

Is this mysterious Spiritual Body similar to a virtual assistant?

But looking at the way this mysterious Spiritual Body responds to questions, this isn’t artificial intelligence!

More like artificial stupidity.

It’s not even up to the level of a virtual assistant!

After a period of continuous and intense interaction, Lin Yuan fully gave up on gathering information from this mysterious Spiritual Body.

Earlier, this mysterious Spiritual Body mentioned that the Corpse Transformation Demon Gods would retreat back into the mounds, sometimes in as short as three to five days, or as long as ten days to half a month.

When these Corpse Transformation Demon Gods go back into the mounds, Lin Yuan will conduct a thorough search again.

To see if, after the recent upheaval, the matrix controlling the Returning Ruins might have been shaken loose.
