Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 226 Resurrection
Camp Arcador.

In the tent, Panan was meticulously cleaning up Tang Yu's wounds, removing the burnt textile residue stuck to the skin, gently removing a piece of damaged skin and then falling off, revealing the charred flesh inside.

It was the first time in her life that she had seen such a severe burn from the inside out. It was conceivable the pain and torture Tang Yu suffered.

That magnetic storm cut off the power in the entire Night City, and the electronic equipment, network services, and chip data of many companies around the company square were all burned, which shows its power.

There is almost no difference between Tang Yu and a dead body now, the only difference is that his body has neither recovered nor rotted.

Panan didn't know when Tang Yu would wake up, but at least there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.

At this time, Mitch came outside the tent, coughed twice, and interrupted Panan's movements.

Only then did Panan put down the tweezers and tools in his hand, got up and unlocked the tent and took it out. After coming out, he closed the tent tightly with his backhand.

"What is it, Mitch."

Mitch looked like an old god, and said in a deep voice: "Two news, one good and one bad, which one do you listen to first?"

Panan put his hands on his hips and said with a helpless smile: "Oh, I guessed it, did you want to say that Saul did something with good intentions, but in the end it failed due to force majeure?"

Mitch and Scorpion are always trying to ease her conflict with Sol, and Panan knows it well.

Mitch said embarrassingly: "Panaan, you are too smart, then you should know what the tribe has said to you recently, even Scorpion and I are worried about you, staying in a tent with a burnt man all day long , everyone thought you were tricked, and wanted to find a wizard to come to the tribe."

Panan replied indifferently: "Oh, then find a wizard to do it, I have no objection here."

Mitch saw that Panan didn't want to enter, so he had to continue to play the emotional card: "Sol tried to find biotechnology, and they agreed to provide microbial nano-robot technology services on credit first, on the condition that they send people there."

Panan blurted out: "Don't even think about it. If I believe in biotechnology, I might as well go to a wizard, maybe it will be more reliable."

"Don't worry, just listen to me, and then I'll send the bio-sign report I made earlier, and you know how Biotech replied to Saul."

Mitch paused, imitating the tone of the corporate guy: "Sol, what we provide is nerve injury repair technology, not resurrection services"

Panan laughed on the spot: "Heh, so Saul was pissed off for no reason, and he deserves it."

Mitch shrugged helplessly, and persuaded again: "You know Sol has really tried his best, but you mentioned looking for a wizard, I think it's sure, why don't you try, there is a way for Sol .”

Panan just wanted to reject this thoughtless proposal, but his phone received a message prompt.

She asked Mitch to wait a moment, turned her back, and took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her tight jeans.

"wizard."

Panan immediately understood, put the phone back into his trouser pocket, turned around and said to Mitch, "I think what you said is right, it's better to try than to wait, everything is just in case."

Mitch nodded seriously, and set off to discuss with Saul. When he left, he confessed: "Then you pack up and prepare to go. Sol should have no objections. I'll ask Scorpion."

Panan shook his hands happily, and urged, "Go, hurry, and wait for your good news."

After speaking, Panan opened the curtain and entered the tent to continue the cleaning work at hand.

It didn't take long for the textile residue on Tang Yu's body to be cleaned up. Although his body was still burnt and charred, it could already be seen that it was the body of a young man.

She picked up the medical anti-inflammatory and analgesic spray can, shook it, and then sprayed it on a large area of ​​the wound, while wiping off the fallen skin tissue debris with a clean cotton swab.

After finishing the work on both sides, she took out the medical bandages and wrapped Tang Yu around and around until every part of her body was bandaged.

Now Tang Yu looks like a mummy covered with bandages.

Panan specially wrapped Tang Yu up with a bed sheet, exposing only the head part, and then tied it with a knot, which was just convenient for packing and taking away.

After she finished cleaning up here, Mitch came to the news.

Thor has agreed to take someone to find the wizard tribe, but there is no guarantee of success for such a supernatural event.

Panan put Tang Yu on his back and went out of the tent. Sol and Mitch were already waiting outside, but the scorpion was missing, so he asked, "Where is the scorpion? Isn't he going with us?"

Mitch opened the car door for Panan, and replied: "Scorpion has been autistic for the past two days. He always wears a hat and hangs his head, silent. Let's leave him alone. Let's go first."

Sol glanced at the corpse wrapped like a zongzi, with a helpless expression on his face. He just felt that this girl, Panan, was getting more and more stupid. She insisted on guarding the unknown corpse picked up by the roadside, not because she lost her head. It just hit the trick.

This time he went to the wizard tribe, he had to ask a great god to show Panan, lest any evil force really affect her mind.

Panan put Tang Yu into the trunk and jumped in himself.

Mitch was in the driver's seat and Saul was in the co-pilot's seat. After sitting down, he hit the accelerator and set off.

The wizard tribe is a wandering group that believes in gods. They specialize in activities such as praying for blessings, sacrificing funerals, etc. The source of income for the tribe basically depends on offerings from other wandering families.

The survival and development of the tribe depend to some extent on the blessings of the sky. A stable environment, abundant water sources, suitable terrain for camping, etc. are all indispensable.

Ardekado also maintained contact with the wizarding tribe, which often became the link between the various tribes, and occasionally traded under the watchful eyes of the gods.

In the car.

Saul said with some concern: "Panan, when you rescued me that night, the Chaos Knife Society has already taken action. The leader of the Night Walking Ghost, the Houndman, led his thugs to wantonly sabotage our transportation line, and has been deliberately targeting us. , has implicated many people, and now some dealers dare not run away our goods."

Sol looked serious and solemn, hesitating for a while before speaking.

"The situation is very difficult. I am worried that if it continues like this, the tribe will have to move to a farther place. I am considering leaving the Night City area. What do you think?"

Leaving Night City?
Panan refused without even thinking about it: "Sol, the migration of the tribe has to face great risks. We have finally found this suitable camp and put in so much effort. Now we say give up and give up. Anyway, I disagree!"

Mitch, who was sitting on the side, also persuaded: "Yes Sol, the tribe has gradually grown because of moving here. Although the chaotic knife society is tricky, the living environment of the tribe is more important."

Sol is quite helpless, both of them are against him, but they can't solve the current predicament.

If you want to stay here and want to develop with peace of mind, there is only one way, which is to bring down the Chaotic Knife Society, at least to prevent them from being so rampant in the open.

However, it is not enough to rely on the people in the tribe to fight against the ruthless Chaos Knife Society. Unless the tribes are willing to unite and strangle the Chaos Knife Society, otherwise the Chaos Knife Society will kill a group and start another group, which is fundamentally entangled not finished.

The three were speechless all the way.

It wasn't until dusk enveloped the wilderness that the three of them saw the ribbon flag fluttering in the wind and the bonfires everywhere.

In the wizarding tribe, on the top of the tall wooden stakes, there is a huge sheep's head skeleton.

Freshly slaughtered cattle and sheep heads are placed on various large and small sacrificial altars.

The wizards dressed in animal fur and feathers are singing and dancing crazily around the bonfire, mysterious and weird.

Many people came here from other tribes, specifically asking the wizards to hold sacrificial ceremonies.

The whole wizard tribe was very lively.

After Panan and his party entered the tribe, they found an empty campfire and sat down, while Sol took the initiative to explain the situation to the great wizard in the tribe.

After waiting for a long time, people from the wizard tribe came and asked Panan and the others to carry the body to the place where the great wizard was.

Panan carried Tang Yu on his back, followed by Mitch, and under the leadership of others, he came to the sacrificial altar where the great wizard was.

This sacrificial platform is different from other places. Not only is the platform erected the highest, but the bonfire pit behind it is also the largest.

The great wizard had an old face, with white braided hair hanging down his sides, he didn't say much when he saw the person coming, he just motioned to put him on the table beside him.

Panan was skeptical, and according to the instructions of the great wizard, after putting the person away, he stood aside and stared closely.

The great wizard stepped forward to check, and after confirming that there were no vital signs, he asked about the time of death and the storage time of the corpse.

Panan only gave a general answer, about seven days.

The great wizard looked at the corpse on the table again, with a serious and serious expression. She and Sol had an old friend. Originally out of friendship, she agreed to arrange the resurrection ceremony for the wizards under her, but now she opened her mouth and said to the clansmen, with an old and slow voice. .

"I will do this resurrection ceremony myself, so hurry up and prepare."

Sol was quite surprised, he did not expect that the great wizard would personally hold a resurrection ceremony for the corpse.

He knew that in order to maintain the spiritual communication with the gods, the great wizard had never undergone any cyber transformation, and all the functions of his body had long been exhausted, and it was difficult to even move, but he was willing to hold the resurrection ceremony in person, which was enough to show that she loved this corpse. attention.

Not long after, preparations for a huge resurrection ceremony were completed, which immediately attracted people from the entire wizarding tribe to watch.

People stood around the sacrificial altar, looking curiously at the mummified corpse in the middle of the bonfire pit.

Cattle and sheep are slaughtered now, piles of dead wood are piled in the bonfire pit, and ancient sacrificial props are placed on the stage one by one.

The great sorcerer was dressed in sacrificial robes, solemnly put on a mask with a feathered face, and tremblingly walked to the sacrificial altar, holding a gemstone bone stick joint and a leather drum.

All the wizards gathered around the bonfire pit, waiting for the great wizard to sing.

Boom!
Hit the drum with a stick.

The great wizard took the lead in singing, and then the other wizards also started singing, and the mysterious and ancient shrine buzzed in all directions.

After a while.

The firewood in the bonfire pit spontaneously ignited without fire, and then burned bigger and bigger.

Seeing the fire burning, the wizards all chanted and danced harder, creating a strange and excited atmosphere.

Seeing this situation, Panan hurriedly wanted to rush up, for fear that something might happen to Tang Yu inside.

Sol and Mitch next to her hurriedly stopped her, destroying the wizard sacrifice site would be bad luck.

Fire, singing, dancing, cattle and sheep, and blood all paint a magnificent and mysterious picture of the resurrection ceremony.

The blazing fire rose up, completely cutting off people's sight.

Countless people are looking forward to whether a miracle will really happen.

Gradually.

People seem to see a figure, slowly standing up in the firelight, and then levitating into the air.

The wizards chanted harder.

Until the 'corpse' floated above the fire under the eyes of everyone, the high temperature and raging fire could not get close to it.

The whole place was silent.

"Ahhh god, god of the wanderer tribe, please bring the light of fire in the darkness!"

The great wizard roared hoarsely, trembling uncontrollably, and led all the wizards to kneel down together.

The surrounding audience saw the wizards kneeling down, and then learned to prostrate on the ground one after another, showing great respect.

Seeing this situation, Panan was dumbfounded and froze on the spot for a while, not knowing whether to kneel or not.

Mitch quickly gave her a couple of hands to let her follow suit.

In the wizard tribe, the great wizard is the highest, and he must show enough respect, otherwise he will offend the wizard tribe, and this circle will not be mixed in the future.

An invisible force field split open the fire, pressing out a path, and the corpse floated out along the path, and under the attention of everyone, it came behind Panan, lying on her back as usual, and fell into the trap again. Deep sleep and no movement.
