Soul Of Negary

While Negary was in the Flame world, his temperament was always very aggressive, humans were no different from pieces of bread in his eyes, food to be consumed.

As such, whenever humans looked at him, they would feel the sense of primal fear that originated from their instincts, an extreme sense of discomfort and danger of having each and every cell in their body dominated by another. His existence itself was a provocation to their wits and reason.

But that was because everything was a lot more transparent in that world. The principle of the weak being prey to the strong was a lot more obvious, and having strength also meant having a great sense of charm and charisma. It was for this reason that most people chose to pledge their allegiance to Negary rather than the alternatives.

Although the nature of worshipping the strong had not changed, it had been clothed with a layer of so-called ‘civility’. Towards the primal fear that Negary inflicted on them, the people here felt rejection instead of acceptance, unable to cope with the barbaric power that he exuded.

This was a different environment with different customs and rules. In this place, the perception of ‘humanity’ was strong, people sympathized with the weak, and being weak was actually an advantage to be used in reasoning, therefore, Negary would need to adjust himself accordingly.

Currently, Negary’s aggressiveness has been restrained. He was simply reading a magazine with a gentle smile on his face, his every movement was extremely well-coordinated, giving off a sense of warmth and closeness similar to that of the gentle spring breeze.

If someone looked at him, he would quickly notice and smile back. This extreme charm and charisma caused the faces of the female staff members here to flush red, even the male staff members would feel a sense of proud accomplishment as they received his smile, the same feeling that they had after being praised by their boss for a job well done.

Clearly, he was a suspect who was escorted back to be investigated, even wearing special handcuffs on his wrists, but as he sat in the D.E.R division’s office, it actually felt like this entire place belonged to him instead.

This caused the two men, Xiao Ba Fu and Zhang Zi Jie, to feel terrified. As they occasionally glanced at the person who was in the middle of reading, the thought that they had made a mistake and had caught the wrong person would even flash in their minds.

After regaining their senses, their sense of deep-seated fear would deepen, convincing them that this person was definitely not human.

If they hadn’t seen the three people who had become literal living bags of bones as well as the fear in their eyes at the time, they would have likely been conquered by this person’s charm as well.

Negary looked up, put down the magazine in his hand and looked at the capable-looking woman in front of him.

“Please come with me, mister traveller from another world” Seven said calmly without being disturbed by his charms.

〖 As you wish, ma’am 〗Negary stood up and followed Seven into the office.

“We meet at last; I had thought that you would keep remaining in hiding” Chang Xia loudly declared as they met and looked straight at Negary.

〖 Please forgive a traveller’s sense of hesitation as he arrives at an unfamiliar place 〗Negary answered indifferently with a smile.

“I certainly haven’t seen any hesitation in you thus far” Chang Xia replied with a smirk.

However, Negary simply smiled back without a care. In truth, even if those two D.E.R division’s people hadn’t arrived at the scene, Negary would have still ‘turned himself in’.

Unlike the Flame world that was still in the Middle Ages, this Disaster world was governed by law and order, a criminal would never be accepted by society, thus making it inconvenient for Negary’s future actions.

“On day X, month Y, year ZZ, you killed a citizen of our country by the name of Xu Ming, residing in the 6th domain, Area 14, 101st Street. Do you admit this?” Chang Xia slammed the table and asked straight.

Looking at the furious Chang Xia, Negary felt several lines of sight locked closely onto him from various locations. He would face a barrage of simultaneous attacks as soon as he made any sudden movements.

〖 Back then, I was in a critical state as I entered this new world. In a state of unconsciousness with my survival instincts, I did kill a person. I admit that 〗Negary’s expression perfectly showed regret.

〖 Of course, if you are able to keep his body intact, I can resurrect him 〗as soon as Negary’s words came out, he could sense the heavy breathing of several people.

Negary smiled softly. Despite being dressed in the cloak of ‘civility’, the nature of humans was still as transparent as ever: to survive and reproduce.

To a certain extent, reproduction could be considered a part of ‘survival’ as well.

As soon as Negary threw the bargaining chip of ‘resurrection’ onto the table, he was sure that he would be convicted, but the punishment could be mitigated or even exempted.

As for whether or not Negary actually had the ability to resurrect people, that depended on this world’s level of knowledge. Despite having the power of Disaster Authority, this world’s understanding of the soul was pathetically little. All Negary would have to do was compile a fake secondary soul, infuse that into the other party’s body, then use germs to reactivate the body and create the effect of ‘resurrection’.

〖 If the time of death wasn’t too long ago and the body remained intact, as long as I have access to a few personal artifacts of the deceased, I am able to resurrect them. There might be some left-over side effects, but they will have indeed been resurrected 〗Negary’s tone was very natural, as if he was simply stating a commonly accepted fact.

Coupled with Negary’s extreme sense of charisma, his words were very convincing.

“Enough! This isn’t time for you to flaunt your abilities” Chang Xia’s expression was cold. From the very start, he didn’t have much hope of being able to actually punish Negary, and as soon as the other party mentioned ‘resurrection’, his hope had only gotten even slimmer.

Being a member of this system, he knew exactly how dirty it actually was. He himself had also done things that would warrant him the death penalty many times over, for example, killing a civilian who blocked Fang Ze’s path, as well as many other things that had crossed far over the line.

In the eyes of the upper echelons, benefit was valued above all else. Never mind the death of a civilian or a bit of inner-city chaos, even the death of the [Medical Malpractice] Authority Holder didn’t mean a single thing to them.

“You’ve also implanted those germs into the bodies of our citizens, making me believe that you might be trying to spread a plague. Additionally, you’re suspected to be encouraging Luo Fu, Zuo Yu Xiao and the others to disrupt public order, as well as being behind the murder of Zhao Shi Chang, while also causing damage to civilians and public property”

〖 I can give an explanation to each of those charges 〗 Negary replied with a calm tone that wasn’t too fast or too slow: 〖 You can think of the germs implanted in their bodies as a gift. The human body has its limits, a lot of which those germs can make up for due to their characteristics 〗

〖 The germs that I gifted them have the effects of extending their lifespans, curing and preventing them from various diseases, as well as granting them the power you call Disasforce 〗Negary put down another bargaining chip.

As soon as Chang Xia heard him, he understood that it was hopeless to try and punish the person in front of him.

He was pleading guilty to his charges, but so what if he was? With the bargaining chips he had just handed over, the punishments given out to him would be the same as no punishment at all.

“I hope your mouth will be just as skillful as it is now when you’re in front of the Disaster Management court” Chang Xia regained his senses and coldly replied.
