Chapter 120: The ‘resurrection’ surgery

During the several days that he was taken into custody, Negary received preferential treatment.

He had specialized chefs, a luxurious ‘prison cell’, a wide variety of books to read, and he could even access the internet under some supervision.

A few days later, the Tribunal for Authority Holders created by the Disaster Management Act held a court, in which Negary stood trial as the defendant.

As Chang Xia expected, in court, most representatives from all parties showed goodwill towards Negary.

In terms of defence, the lawyer only cited strange and unusual cases that were fringe examples, as well as the reasoning that ‘mister Wang Yuan was only acting in accordance to his instincts at the time’.

In the end, Negary was sentenced to only one month in prison, and although it was called imprisonment, he was actually there as a VIP guest.

Negary was holding a book in his hand, seriously reading it, but then suddenly turned his head to a certain corner of the room, gave a slight smile, then casually went back to his reading.

“How terrifying” Chang Xia sighed while watching Negary through the screen.

“Indeed, the monitoring equipment in that room was made of special materials and designed to integrate fully into the wall, yet he still managed to discover it” Seven sighed in dejection next to him.

“I’m not talking about that” Chang Xia shut down the surveillance footage and said with a solemn expression: “I’ve seen many VIPs, the wealth, power, and authority they have control over is vastly greater than what we can ever imagine”

“By relying on the things they hold control over, they can affect the entire world, and this Wang Yuan is the same. He holds power above what we can imagine, but ever since we’ve met, unless there was serious business or he was preoccupied, he would constantly have a book in his hand”

“I can feel his tireless thirst for knowledge. He wouldn’t slack off and doesn’t know the concept of fatigue. He’s taking every chance he has to grow” Chang Xia smiled bitterly: “At a time like this, I truly hope what he declared was the truth”

Seven also had a strange look on her face. During his trial, when Negary introduced himself, he identified himself as an otherworldly scholar and biologist, then later a saviour of the world.

〖 Outside of necessity, I would never harm a person’s life. For me personally, the life of every single person is a precious treasure 〗following Negary’s declaration, many of the present psychologists tried to look for any signs of lying on Negary’s expression, but instead saw unadulterated sincerity.

Indeed, this was exactly how Negary thought. After all, he had already gone through the distress of not having food. Even if he only sought food of high quality at this point, there was no need to waste any precious food, was there?

“Did we catch Killer J?” Chang Xia casually asked.

“Ever since that day, he simply vanished. Our intelligence system couldn’t find him at all” Seven sighed: “Luo Fu is still there, but we have no right to arrest him”

…

Looking down at the corpse in front of himself, Negary shook his head. Although his words were very persuasive, his claims had to be backed up by real evidence in order to be fully convincing.

As a result, Xu Ming’s body, the best test subject, was brought to him, including the materials that he requested.

Many of Xu Ming’s frequently used personal items were laid next to his body, such as his cups, notebooks, glasses, clothes, as well as the two Urban-themed novels that he wrote and various other miscellaneous things.

Negary carefully observed these items and pretended to absorb the ‘spirit’ attached to them. According to what he had said, a person’s frequently used items would contain the scattered ‘spirit’ that humans naturally gave off in their daily lives, and it was thanks to this ‘spirit’ that he was able to gather and reform their souls.

In truth, they were nothing but bold-faced lies. Although Negary had read Xu Ming’s memories in order to learn this world’s language, he didn’t have much time to read, nor was he interested in reading too much into the personal life of such a person.

Because of that, he didn’t actually know a lot about the person called Xu Ming, but when his personal artifacts were presented to Negary, he had already begun to compile the profile of this person in his mind.

Especially the two novels that he wrote. Although the depictions in internet novels were usually completely different from the actual person, there were still bits and pieces of connections that could be traced.

Just like that, Negary slowly completed the profile of ‘Xu Ming’ in his mind and compiled it into a personality avatar.

Negary went back to the corpse. Taking the feelings of these bystanders into account, Negary didn’t directly turn his hand into tentacles like he usually did. He instead took out a syringe that contained some sort of active rippling liquid, injected it into the corpse to infect it with his bacteria, mended the corpse’s wounds, and reanimated it.

He then transferred the ‘Xu Ming’ personality avatar inside, thus resurrecting Xu Ming.

〖 I must tell you in advance, since it has been a long time since he died, there would be a lot of missing memories 〗Negary explained in a responsible manner: 〖 At the same time, he should show symptoms of being dispirited and getting tired easily, this is due to the fact that his soul had become scattered once. Although I’ve patched his soul back together, repercussions still exist 〗

After completing this ‘resurrection’ surgery, Negary was released from prison early while serving his 1-month prison sentence due to good behaviour.

In this period of just over half a month, although it seemed like Negary didn’t do anything but read and performed one ‘resurrection’, quite a few people had actually reached tacit understanding with him.

For example, the D.E.R division had largely ignored the crows that were flying all over the city, some even started to take care of them.

For example, a few superiors who were supposedly about to breathe their last suddenly became active again, one of them even announced a happy new wedding.

In addition, a group of people headed by Noah, including the three people from the crow farms whose flesh was stolen by Negary, had gathered, pooled their funds together and applied to open a new company called Negary Pharmaceuticals.

〖 Is Section Chief Chang here to greet me? 〗as expected, Negary saw Chang Xia at the door.

“I’m only here to ask Mister Wang Yuan to come and register with us. After all, Mister Wang Yuan is an Authority Holder, and quite possibly even the next Disaster King” Chang Xia answered honestly.

There was a big difference between his [Otherworld Invasion] Authority and other Authorities. Since the Holder of this Authority was a disaster himself, any of his actions that fulfilled the conditions of the Authority would generate Disasforce.

Even Negary’s opening of a pharmaceutical company could be regarded as a cultural invasion, so Negary was giving off Disasforce reactions even right as they were speaking. Even more importantly, he was able to grant this Disasforce to other people, making it so that even those people’s actions would accumulate Disasforce for Negary.

With this gradual accumulation, Negary’s Disasforce had grown from its initial grade A to grade C, and was still continuing to climb. To an extent, the [Otherworld Invasion] could certainly be listed as a Disaster King-level Authority.

〖 Then I’ll trouble you, Chief Chang 〗Negary politely answered, got into Chang Xia’s car and casually opened a book.
