Chapter 14: The ability to mourn the dead

A cold chill enveloped Jock's left eye, and then, the sharp pain of his consciousness being torn apart appeared in his mind again.

Fortunately, Jock, who had already gained some resistance to the pain, was clenching his teeth. His whole body was soaked with sweat, but he still resisted stubbornly and did not let himself faint.

Suddenly! A feeling like enlightenment surged out of Jock's body, as if every cell in his body was silently telling the same thing.

"Ritual of Coherence: Seeing and Soothing the Dead..."

"Finish!"

The headache suddenly disappeared during this burst of enlightenment, and Jiao Ke felt that his spirit, consciousness, or soul, were wrapped in something.

His whole body was immersed in a wonderful feeling that was sometimes warm and sometimes cool, giving Jock a relaxing massage all over his body and mind.

And the restlessness in the atlas gradually calmed down.

A few minutes later, Jock returned to normal, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

'Sure enough! I have already become a transcendent!'

'And now, I am a "mourner" who has completed the fitting ceremony!'

Seeing Kate looking at him worriedly, Jock had a smile on his face:

"I have recovered some memories. I did see your brother just now."

"It's just that it's his spirit!"

When Kate heard his words, a look of anticipation immediately appeared on her face: "Really?! Brother Jock is really a transcendent!"

"Brother Jock, how is my brother now? Can you restore his 21 krypton?"

Hearing this, Jock sighed and replied, "No."

Kate, who was originally looking forward to it, felt disappointed when she heard Jock's answer.

"I will try my best to find a way, maybe... don't give up hope." Seeing Kate's sadness, Jock couldn't bear it and told a white lie.

"Really?" Hope appeared on Kate's face again.

"Well, really!" Jock looked at her with a sincere smile and nodded affirmatively: "However, we have to get through the immediate crisis first before we can sit down and think of a way to save Rupert."

"Yeah!" Kate nodded heavily, put away Rupert's 21 krypton and the knife, and tried to pick up her brother's body.

"I'll do it, you go and straighten the cart, and we'll transport Rupert home together."

Jock picked up Rupert's body and put it on the trolley. At Kate's insistence, he could only watch her and pull the trolley towards home alone.

Jock returned to the bodies of Joseph and Pine again, then picked up a body with one hand and walked towards the garbage mountain in the distance.

After disposing of the two bodies, Jock crushed up the silver tinfoil and sprinkled it on the areas with blood stains. However, there was already a pool of blood where Rupert had fallen, so he had to get some more dust and sprinkle it on top.

After doing all this, Jock walked into the house.

I saw that Kate had wrapped Rupert's body in layers with large pieces of silver tin foil, and added a layer of transparent plastic film on the outside.

Seeing Jock come in, Kate asked expectantly: "Brother Jock, when will Rupert be resurrected?"

She glanced at Rupert's body next to her: "I know that this body has suffered fatal injuries and can no longer be used again."

Speaking of this, Kate looked back at Jock: "But as long as Brother Jock can repair his 21 Krypton, I will definitely save money to buy Rupert a brand new prosthetic body!"

"Is this also a prosthetic body?" Jock asked, looking at Rupert's body.

Kate shook her head: "No, this is my brother's original body and cannot be regarded as a prosthetic body."

As if thinking of Jock's amnesia, she added: "Prosthetic body is a general term for all bodies other than the original body."

"So that's it." Jock nodded gently.

Seeing that Kate had been looking at him expectantly, Jock hurriedly explained: "I saw Rupert's spirit before, which restored some of my memory. I am indeed a transcendent, but in what specific way, I want to temporarily think about it."

I can’t get up, but one thing is certain, my path must be related to spirit and life.”

"Spirit? Life? Is Brother Jock a believer in the God of the Earth?"

‘The god of the earth?’ Jock almost immediately rejected this inference.

The Church of God Brought by the Earth is one of the eight righteous churches. How could its followers be hermits?

Although he had this suspicion in his heart, on the surface, Jock still smiled and nodded.

"I think it's possible. It's just that I have recovered a little bit of my memory now, and my extraordinary abilities haven't been fully awakened yet. But I believe that I will be able to help you repair Rupert's 21 Krypton in the future. Even if it doesn't work now, I'll wait.

I can definitely advance to a higher rank!"

Jock finally affirmed: "No big deal, I can still seek help from the church!" He patted Kate on the shoulder: "So, you must believe me!"

"Yes! I believe in brother Joke! Before that, I will take good care of my brother's 21 krypton and work hard to save money!"

Seeing how Kate was so motivated by what he said, Jock couldn't help but feel envious of Rupert and envious that he had such a sister who loved him.

Jock sat next to Kate, both leaning against the wall, sitting side by side.

"I need to think back carefully now to see if I can remember more things. It would be great if Rupert's 21 Krypton could be repaired as soon as possible."

After saying that, Jock closed his eyes and leaned against the wall motionless, as if falling asleep.

Kate saw that he seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, so she stood up and gently closed the door of the house, and the light in the room immediately dimmed.

Afterwards, Kate sat silently next to Rupert's body, silently in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this moment, Jock is confirming his extraordinary ability!

At the moment when the joining ceremony was completed, some additional information appeared in his mind, which was an extraordinary ability unique to his status as "the mourner".

The first is "spiritual vision", which is related to eyes. It not only greatly increases Jock's vision, but also allows him to see the dead and disguised demons.

Of course, the effect of this extraordinary ability is mainly for targets of the same level. If the high-level undead and demons are not willing to be seen by Jock, he still cannot discover it. This is an extraordinary ability with growth potential.

The second extraordinary ability is "soul reading". Jock can obtain the other party's memory by "contacting" the dead. This memory includes both before and after death. The specific amount of information that can be obtained depends entirely on the user's mental strength.

.

'I wonder if it will be possible to contact 21 krypton...' Jock thought in his heart, and planned to try it later.
