My Endless Life

The origin of the original relic cannot be studied.

The reason why ‘relics’ are called ‘relics’ is simply because these objects are found in ruins.

They have strange and eccentric abilities that allow an ordinary person to master powers beyond the ordinary. They are rare treasures in this world.

The lost treasures sought in the ruins can be called relics.

But in fact, long before the humans in the safe zone discovered the relics, the 'ancient civilization' on the third level was already using this title.

Most people don't know why they are called that, and they just think that they think the same as the people in the safe zone.

But the founder of the Light Chasing Society understood the reason for all this.

This is why he left the kingdom.

The real name of the relic is not ‘relic treasure’, it is actually ‘thing left behind by life’.

The birth of every relic is related to life.

The ability of each relic is also related to life and soul.

The so-called contract with relics is more of a resonance between life and life.

The inability to use other relics outside of the contract is also due to the rejection between beings.

This is the truth that Jinghua knows.

The things created by Li Qi indeed have extraordinary abilities. Adam, who made it with his own hands, is already very close to a first-class relic from the perspective of Jinghua.

But they still cannot be called relics.

Because they lack the core key, life.

When he learned this from Jinghua, Li Qi felt cold sweat oozing out of his back.

If the birth of every relic is related to life, doesn't it mean that everyone in the world has the possibility of becoming a relic?

A little shocked by the "darkness" of this world, Li Qi remained silent for a while and asked:

"The life you are talking about should not only be human, right..."

"Normally speaking, any living being can be made into a relic, but only relics made by humans can become special-grade. This is the special nature of being a 'human being'."

Kyoka replied.

Li Qi looked at her finger, and her relic was on it.

"Then your relics are also..."

"Yes."

Jinghua did not deny it. She stroked her ring but said nothing.

Li Qi played with the red walnuts in his hand and remained silent.

He had thought that the making of relics might be related to life, but what he had thought about before was the fog beasts in the fog area.

For example, the red-winged bird has been turned into materials and sent to the royal capital.

The red walnuts in Li Qi's hands are partly made from red-winged birds.

But even so, the things in his hands cannot be called relics. Perhaps the reason is that the things in his hands have no 'soul'.

Then the problem comes again.

Soul...what exactly is it?

Li Qi turned to look at Adam. In a sense, Adam was Li Qi's backup body. As long as he could figure out the problem of the soul, Li Qi would not have to worry about dying due to physical conditions in the future.

The premise is that Li Qi can indeed figure out the nature of the soul.

Maybe he can find the answer in this world.

Jinghua was somewhat surprised to see Li Qi just lost in thought and not as shocked as expected.

She asked doubtfully:

"Aren't you surprised?"

"What?"

"A large part of the materials for making relics are human lives and souls..."

"Oh... right." After hearing what Jinghua said, Li Qi thought of something. He asked Jinghua curiously:

"Do you know what a 'soul' is?"

Kyoka: "?"

Although Li Qi did express surprise and confusion, his surprise and confusion seemed to be different from what Jinghua thought.

After looking at Li Qi with strange eyes for a while, Jinghua no longer cared about why the other party was so calm. After hearing the other party's question, she replied:

"I'm not sure, but...the president should know, so do you want to go with me? Go to the Light Chasing Club."

She still didn't give up her plan to drag Li Qi to the Light Chasing Club.

Li Qi still ignored her. He stared at Jinghua and said:

"I still have many questions to ask you. Answer my questions first, and then... let's talk about the Light Chasing Club."

In addition to the question of relics, Li Qi also had other questions to ask.

For example, the monsters in the fog zone, such as the fog zone that suddenly appeared in the safe zone, these are all questions Li Qi wants to know.

It was a long night today and they still had plenty of time to chat.

Li Qi believed that Jinghua could answer all his questions.

…

"Uh-huh..."

Ronnie lay on the bed in the dormitory, moaning meaninglessly.

After returning from the second layer of fog, his body has been in pain. Although he knows that this is because of the backlash of the fog, the pain after the backlash of the fog is too long.

Maybe it was because he directly entered the second level that he had such a serious backlash?

But Li Qi seemed to be fine... Apparently according to what he said, it was only the second time he entered the foggy area...

I don’t understand…

Ronnie thought and turned over on the bed again.

He couldn't help but think of Li Qi's performance in the fog zone.

He was calm and composed in the face of danger. Even if he faced a group of monsters, he could still find a way to escape in a short time, and even ran away with him.

Li Qi was obviously younger than him and had never entered a foggy area before, yet he could be so calm.

Is there really a genius in fog detection in this world?

Just like the legendary Weiner...

Ronnie was thinking about it and slowly closed his eyes.

Under the backlash of the fog and the accumulation of physical fatigue, he finally fell asleep.

But in the past, Ronnie always slept until dawn, and he didn't even know what he dreamed the night before. He was a model of heartlessness.

But today was different.

Today, Ronnie had a rare dream.

And he dreamed of someone he was very familiar with.

Li Qi.

Or... Li Qi in his childhood.

"Why are you here?"

Not long after coming to the welfare home, Li Qi, who lived in the same room with the director's grandfather because he was afraid of strangers, stared at Ronnie standing in the room with a cold face.

Ronnie met the rare golden eyes, and then stretched out his hand to him:

"Let's be friends!"

"..."

Then Ronnie saw that the other party was looking at him as if he was a fool.

That was the first time Ronnie and Li Qi met, and it was also a meeting a long time ago.

After that, Ronnie had little contact with Li Qi, who seemed to be deliberately avoiding all social interactions.

Alone and without friends, Ronnie, who originally wanted to make friends with Li Qi, gradually gave up the idea after being persuaded by Emma and Rumi.

Until... now they have become "friends" in another way.

No, it would be more appropriate to say that they are teacher and student.

"Why do I think of the past... I seem to have seen something familiar in Li Qi's room just now..."

In the dream, the past images shattered with Li Qi's refusal, but before they shattered, Ronnie saw something familiar.

It seems to be... an arm made of wood?

Ronnie was still recalling, and suddenly, Li Qi, who had shattered along with the surrounding scenes, suddenly appeared in front of Ronnie again.

He still maintained his childish appearance, with confusion in his golden eyes, and asked Ronnie who appeared in front of him:

"...Who are you?"

"Ah?"

"Who am I?"

"????"

Even in a dream, Ronnie felt that 'Li Qi's' question was illogical. He opened his mouth slightly to answer, and suddenly felt his body shaking.

He was like being pulled away, flying backwards into the distance.

And the 'Li Qi' in his eyes was gradually swallowed by the darkness. Before the darkness completely swallowed him, Ronnie saw that the other person seemed to have become himself.

The memory stayed at this moment, and Ronnie's consciousness completely returned from the dream.

"Hey! If you don't get up, you will be late for training!"

Emma's urging sounded in his ears, and Ronnie slowly opened his eyes.

But before Ronnie had time to sort out the dream he had last night, he heard Emma's tone becoming more and more impatient.

Then a sense of danger came from Ronnie's head.

"Roni! Get up!!!"

Emma, ​​whose power was amplified by the dragon scales, raised her little hand that could almost kill a cow with one punch and slapped Roni on the head.

Even if Roni's head has always been very hard, he would probably have to lie down for a whole morning before he could wake up after being hit like this.

Seeing this, the bespectacled boy Rumi immediately stopped him and said:

"Wait! Emma! Do you want him to get up or do you want him to sleep forever?!"

But Rumi was a little slow to stop him. When he just made a sound, Emma's hand was already raised.

Before he finished his sentence, Emma's hand fell on Roni's bed.

Bang!

Feeling the threat to his life, Roni's body instantly bounced off the bed.

The 'crystal' on his chest glowed slightly, and an inexplicable power was infused into every corner of his body.

Driven by this power, Roni's figure disappeared from the bed like a ghost, and then appeared behind Emma again.

Bang!

Emma's hand waved in vain and fell on the bed.

It can be seen that she actually restrained her strength. At least, with such a strong force, she couldn't break the bed.

But the problem now is not whether Emma restrained her strength, but Ronnie's performance.

Looking at the empty bed, and then turning back to look at Ronnie who ran behind her at some point, Emma's eyes widened.

"Ronnie, you——!"

"What's wrong with me?"

Still in shock, Ronnie looked at his two friends who were staring at him, and looked down at his hands.

It was only then that he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have just "swooshed" and ran behind Emma from the bed...

No, wait!

Raising his hands, he ran the energy in his body according to the energy running method that Li Qi had taught him and made him feel.

A faint air emerged from his lower abdomen and gradually merged into his hands.

Feeling this familiar and unfamiliar airflow, Ronnie's face was surprised and confused:

"I... I seem to... master the 'qi' that the teacher said..."
