Chapter 54

Chuci, after much effort, finally managed to convince the others to accept his new method, but Leixuan still hinted to Chuci that things had changed, and he would forcibly destroy Zhenzi's soul, even if it meant the main storyline would be trapped in a deadlock.

Even so, Chuci received a satisfactory response.

Next was the preparation for Zhenzi's resurrection.

"Mr. Takayama, and Miss Asakawa, please bring Yōichi over. Perhaps it would be better if he is present when Zhenzi is resurrected," Chuci sincerely invited the two and their son to witness the human transmutation of Zhenzi.

Takayama Ryūji expressed extreme distrust in Chuci's incomprehensible idea, but since he no longer had the upper hand, he could only grumble and leave.

Regardless of whether Takayama Ryūji would bring Yōichi, Chuci would not delay the preparations he needed to make.

Several men were responsible for dismantling the foundation of the B4 vacation house and retrieving Zhenzi's remains from the well, while the three girls, who were afraid of ghosts, went to the city to purchase the transmutation materials based on the list Chuci provided.

The chemical and mineral composition of the human body is roughly 65% oxygen, 18% carbon, 10% hydrogen, 3% nitrogen, 1.5% calcium, 1% phosphorus, 0.35% potassium, 0.25% sulfur, 0.15% uranium, 0.15% chlorine, 0.05% magnesium, 0.0004% iron, and 0.00004% iodine. Additionally, it contains trace amounts of fluorine, silicon, manganese, zinc, copper, aluminum, and arsenic.

Chuci recalled Zhenzi's figure, a delicate and adorable girl, and estimated her weight to be 45 kilograms.

Leixuan and the others brought out the remains from the well, which weighed about 16 kilograms. Chuci calculated the mass and the required additional components, instructing the girls to purchase the missing parts. He spent a day manually drawing a human transmutation array on the floor.

This was the first time Chuci drew such an array; usually, he performed transmutations directly without needing an array. As a result, he ruined several room floors before finally completing the human transmutation array in the living room.

Around 5 PM, the three girls, Zhou Yue, returned with the necessary additional materials. At the same time, Asakawa Reiko, after deep consideration, appeared before Chuci, accompanied by a child who looked very clever, not at all like the offspring of the sloppy Takayama Ryūji.

"The time is set at dusk, the intersection of day and night, the blind spot of light and darkness. This is the moment when the heavens are devoid of deities, and no spirits can patrol the human world at this time."

Chuci educated the few people present while personally moving Zhenzi's skeletal remains to the center of the transmutation array. Next to the remains was the videotape containing Zhenzi's vengeful spirit, tied with a thin rope to pull it away once the array activated.

Otherwise, imagining an 18-year-old Zhenzi with a videotape... it felt... quite intense!

"Human transmutation is not as taboo as many systems record. Creating life is the true taboo. Human transmutation, in fact, is similar to a mage transforming into a lich or an arcanist elevating into a wraith; it is merely a change in form."

Chuci began placing the various transmutation materials, explaining their roles as he did so.

"Physical elements are essential for human transmutation. A standard human body, when broken down, is roughly equivalent to 33 liters of water, 17 kilograms of carbon, 4 liters of ammonia, 1.5 kilograms of lime, 800 grams of phosphorus, 250 grams of salt, 100 grams of saltpeter, 80 grams of sulfur, 7.5 grams of fluorine, 5 grams of iron, 3 grams of silicon, and 15 other trace elements. These items can be bought from a supermarket for less than 50,000 yen. The human body is such a cheap substance," Chuci smiled mysteriously, which others found chilling.

"Physical elements are cheap, but human transmutation also requires the most precious component, which is even harder to obtain than the world's most expensive californium-252. While californium-252 can be synthesized artificially, a soul... is unique. Understanding the body only creates a sophisticated doll; understanding the soul is what truly transmutes a real person!" Chuci explained while activating the transmutation array. He could perform eternal transmutation, so drawing the human transmutation array was just for precision. As long as the energy output was sufficient, there was no need to recite incantations.

"Seeing is death, but its root is not death; seeing is life, but it is not truly life." Chuci put on a pretentious show of ancient text, then said, "Don't look at these cold, lifeless materials; they will... decompose!"

The transmutation array suddenly burst into brilliant light, with black and white light consuming all the materials, including Zhenzi's remains, which were crushed into genetic particles. These fundamental particles, invisible to the naked eye, flowed continuously along the array's patterns.

As for the videotape containing Zhenzi, it lay on the array's pattern symbolizing the soul, showing no movement, as if unaware that this array was operating to resurrect her.

"Understanding the composition of all matter, it is time to reshape!" Chuci snapped his fingers, and the fundamental particles began to fuse. In the center of the array, a pile of sticky flesh material appeared, white and yellow, looking quite disgusting. However, as the flesh material gradually melded and solidified, a beautiful face and a long, elegant hairstyle began to take shape, sculpting a graceful and alluring figure.

"Gentlemen, please turn around. I haven't prepared the transmutation of clothes," Chuci grinned, reminding the men present.

Unfortunately, except for Asakawa Reiko covering Yōichi's eyes, no one dared to turn around. What a joke, exposing their backs to Zhenzi, as if they were tired of living.

The delicate neck, the light and sensual collarbone, two budding blossoms, a pair of white, tender hands, a slender waist—everything below that was strictly censored, so the men turned around on their own, with Leixuan giving detailed instructions to the female comrades to protect their backs.

Just as the light was about to fade and the transmutation was nearly complete, the videotape finally showed movement, emitting a suffocating and despairing aura!

As soon as Zhenzi entered the transmutation array, she involuntarily revealed her true form. Her disheveled black hair covered her face, and her white dress was full of wrinkles. Her exposed arms and feet were covered in scabs, as if she had endured much torment.

The transmutation array briefly paused, not because Chuci was frightened by Zhenzi's appearance, but because the immense resentment she carried forced the array to stall!

Zhenzi turned to Chuci, and strangely, although Chuci couldn't see her face, he felt that she was looking at him.

"#$%^&*~~" Zhenzi whispered a short, sharp sentence, which Chuci couldn't understand. Then, with a sudden turn, her resentment exploded, instantly overwhelming the transmutation array.

"Spit~~" Chuci was immediately struck by a backlash, chaotic energy reversing into his body, causing his blood to spurt out like tomato juice.

In the last second before losing consciousness, Chuci seemed to see a pure, crystalline aura, then he lost all awareness.
