Alien Knights

Todd watched Sutherland slowly fall next to him, raised his paw and pointed at the darkness: "Tell me, what are these? Are they also fictitious things in your soul space?"

Sutherland slowly shook his head and said, "No, they're not the same."

Todd: "I don't understand why this kind of thing appears in your soul space? I need an explanation."

Sutherland: "It's a long story, maybe we should move somewhere else."

Todd: "Why can't you say it here? Wait, these things are growing..."

The black parasites on the ground are like seawater at rising tide, eroding the earth bit by bit.

In less than half a minute, the black boundary extended inward for more than a meter.

Sutherland: "It's not safe here. I'll wait for you in the manor."

With that, Sutherland disappeared into thin air.

Todd looked at the direction he came from and froze on the spot: "Are you asking me to fly back again?"

Five hours later, when Todd was flying over the vineyards, he was so exhausted that he fell flat on the ground when he landed.

Looking at Sutherland walking up to him, Todd waved his paw feebly and said, "Let me take a breath."

Sutherland placed a barrel of red wine in front of Todd, opened the lid of the barrel, took out a cup, scooped out a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Todd licked his tongue, leaned his head to the barrel, and drank most of it in one breath.

Sutherland sat next to Todd, looked at the starry sky above his head, and said: "A hundred years ago, the Elders used forbidden rituals to create a body for me that can accommodate my soul... It's the same body you saw in the volcano before. The one that arrived.”

Todd nodded: "The product of the combination of Tyrant Virus, Sutherland Archaea and Resurrection Bug."

Sutherland: "In the early days of adapting to the new body, I could feel that there was a strange power in this creature, a power that longed for flesh and blood."

"At first, no one cared about this. Until during a ceremony, a Presbyterian assistant accidentally touched the severed limb of my body. Some black bugs crawled out from the gap in the severed limb and got into his body. skin."

"In almost a short period of time, this man died in pain amid screams. Countless black bugs crawled out of his body, and he became a soulless walking corpse."

Todd: "That's when you finally discovered the existence of undead parasites?"

Sutherland: "At the beginning, we didn't know that this bug would turn living things into undead. But after a series of experiments, the scholars in the Presbyterian Church discovered the horror of this bug."

"They began to think of every possible way to deal with these dangerous bugs. I proposed at that time to destroy this body and directly kill this thing that would threaten the entire world."

Todd: "But the Elders didn't agree to your proposal?"

Sutherland: "No, they agreed... They once tried to destroy this body, fire, cold, crushing... but found that no matter what they did, these black bugs could always survive. And, after that , they found that destroying this body would not help the whole matter."

Todd: "What do you mean?"

Sutherland: "Not long after that happened, the fishing village near Presbyterian pulled something out of the sea - a fish infected with black worms."

"After the Elders Council learned of this, they immediately began to inspect the Resurrection Experimental Site. Only then did they discover that the cave at the bottom of the Supuha Mountains is connected to the sea. The undead plague had already spread along the ocean currents and entered the sea."

"This whole thing has completely spiraled out of control."

Todd: "You mean that the source of the Necrotic Virus entering the sea is from you."

Sutherland: "Yes."

Todd: "Didn't the Presbyterians try to control it?"

Sutherland: "We have tried various methods, all means, but the Necrovirus is spreading faster and faster in the ocean, and the degree of harm is chilling."

Todd took a deep breath and asked: "Then what happened to the undead souls I saw in the soul space today?"

Sutherland: "The Elders accidentally created the undead. After finding that the body could not be destroyed, they tried to extract my soul and store it in a safer environment."

"However, once my soul leaves this body, this created monster will begin to attack everything crazily, and almost nothing can stop it."

Todd: "So, in order to curb the monster's actions, they put your soul into the monster's body again and used your consciousness to prevent the monster's attack. However, you still haven't explained why there is something in your soul space. The emergence of undead parasites..."

Sutherland: "This is what I'm going to say next... My soul is lodged in the body of this monster. As time goes by, I gradually find that my control over this monster is weakening day by day, and the undead The power is increasing little by little.”

"Every day, I can feel that my consciousness is being eroded by the undead in my body. My reason is fading little by little, and my desire for flesh and blood is increasing day by day."

Sutherland let out a long sigh: "I don't know what happened, but the undead and I are not only competing for this body, but more importantly, my soul."

Todd understood somewhat: "You are saying that the undead are eroding your soul, so there are traces of the undead in your soul space."

Sutherland: "I try my best to block the erosion of the undead every day, but I don't know how long I can last."

Todd thought about it carefully.

The resurrected insects transformed by the tyrant will extract the souls of living creatures and disperse them.

It seems that the undead are indeed affecting Sutherland, and the situation is not optimistic.

Todd suddenly remembered a question: "Wait a minute, I still don't understand something."

Sutherland: "Just ask."

Todd: "If you and the undead are fighting for the control of the soul, then why do you keep ingesting the tyrant? Don't you know that the tyrant can make the undead in your body stronger and accelerate the space of your soul? of collapse.”

Sutherland looked at Todd, nodded slightly and said, "I understand everything you said, but I have to do this."

Todd: "Why?"

Sutherland: "Now is not the time to talk about this."

Todd opened his eyes wide: "Now is not the time?! What on earth are you talking about! The undead will soon invade your soul space. Now stop the tyrant's intake, you still have a glimmer of hope to save your soul." . If you continue to ingest Tyrant, and as the power of the undead continues to increase, your soul will eventually collapse completely! Can you understand what I am saying?"

Sutherland: "I understand, but I can't stop."

Todd: "You..."

Sutherland: "Todd, the final moments are coming soon. It won't be long before you have all the answers."
