NOVEL NEXT Chapter 492: Chapter 492: You Can Even Reincarnate as a Goblin
The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor needed some fresh blood, and the people standing before Hu Tao seemed like excellent candidates. As long as they had physical bodies, that would be enough.
Everyone present was stunned by Hu Tao's words.
"Huh? Are you joking?"
Clearly, no one believed her.
"I'm not joking at all. This is all true! Come on, Prometheus, show them!"
Seeing their disbelief, Hu Tao immediately called for Prometheus to give a demonstration.
Following her command, a subsystem of the terminal activated, and Prometheus's figure appeared before them.
Witnessing this with their own eyes, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. With Prometheus's AI explanation and Hu Tao displaying some supernatural powers, they were all finally convinced.
For a moment, no one could remain calm.
"The explanation is done. Now, let's handle your situations. Anyone who wishes to reincarnate, step forward!"
"Of course, if you don't want to reincarnate, that's fine too. I can turn you into undead, and you can continue living in another world."
"Besides that, you also have the option to be resurrected."
"I'm quite easy to talk to."
"Once revived, you'll be able to live freely, just like before."
"Oh, and if you're worried about where to go, I'm hiring too."
"I run a funeral business."
"We specialize in sending people off."
"Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has grown quite large now. Even the Underworld is full of my people."
"If you work with me, the pay is excellent."
Hu Tao chattered away enthusiastically, trying to sell them on the idea.
The crowd was dumbfounded. Many were simply overwhelmed.
Now they were being told they could be resurrected? Shocked!
The revelation left everyone stunned.
"Resurrection, reincarnation... Is this really possible?"
Nakamura Yuri stared at Hu Tao intently.
"Of course! It's nothing difficult! If anyone wants to reincarnate, I can guide their soul right now! Painless and safe, straight to paradise!"
After speaking, Hu Tao patted her nonexistent chest with pride. This was her area of expertise.
But her words left everyone even more silent.
Reincarnation… giving up current memories and starting anew?
That, many people were reluctant to accept.
Everyone exchanged uncertain glances.
"So what kinds of beings can we reincarnate into?" someone finally asked.
Hu Tao began listing possibilities.
"Right now, we're working with vampires, so you could reincarnate as vampire ninjas or demons."
"If you're talented, the Celestial Realm may even take you."
"Beyond that, you could become goblins and such."
"We've got plenty of races to choose from."
"If you're into the bizarre, even reincarnating as a slime is fine."
"There's a very powerful slime on our side, said to be a reincarnator."
"The only tricky one is becoming human again."
"Because in that world, once you die, you can't reincarnate as a human again. You must pick another race."
"There are even some rare species you can choose. I recommend those."
"Due to their rarity, they're highly welcomed. It's a way to repopulate."
"But not many people want to become another species."
"Even after death, most people prefer to become a ghost."
"Ghosts are pretty much like ordinary people, really."
Hu Tao patiently explained everything to them.
Listening to her, everyone began to feel that what she said made sense.
Yes, they had all been human, and continuing life as another species was hard to accept for many.
If there were no other options, maybe they'd accept it.
But since there were choices, they didn't want to give up being human.
Even though other species had advantages, Hu Tao hadn't mentioned something else:
Even if you wanted to reincarnate as another species, you needed the qualifications.
Not everyone could reincarnate.
Ninety-nine percent of the dead would be sent to reincarnate traditionally.
The people in front of her were rare exceptions. They were good kids.
"Do we really have to do this?"
"Does everyone have to reincarnate or transform?"
"Can't we just remain like this forever?"
Nakamura Yuri couldn't help but ask.
Was this truly necessary?
She understood now that resistance was futile.
If someone more powerful came, they'd be crushed like ants.
This world was nearly destroyed earlier. It was probably because it had connected to another world.
"Yes! Absolutely!"
"And honestly... you guys won't last much longer like this."
"If this world weren't special, you would've been forcibly reincarnated by now."
"Or if you let go of your regrets, you'd disappear on your own and reincarnate."
Hu Tao tilted her head and looked at her seriously.
She understood their situation well.
Staying as they were was unrealistic unless they became a ghost-type race.
Like Yuyuko, for example.
Otherwise, these people would eventually vanish.
That's probably why Takumi sent her.
"Alright... then, have you seen someone who already left?"
"A silver-haired girl, to be specific."
Nakamura Yuri seemed to accept the situation but still had something to ask.
What happened to the student council president who had vanished?
They had visited the place where Kanade Tachibana used to live, but found nothing unusual. She had simply disappeared.
"That girl? She reincarnated as an angel."
"Apparently, she had great potential, so once she arrived on our side, she was sent to the Celestial Realm and became an angel."
Hu Tao immediately understood who she meant.
That girl she briefly met before. Takumi had mentioned her.
Now she was officially an angel.
The others were stunned.
"She became an angel?"
Wow!
Although everyone used to call Kanade an angel...
She hadn't actually been one.
But now… well, she really was.
"She was truly kind and had the personality for it."
Hu Tao had no objections to Kanade becoming an angel. In fact, she thought it was great.
Even from their brief meeting, Hu Tao could tell how kind she was.
Becoming an angel suited her perfectly.
She'd once met someone named Ayane who was also a natural fit for becoming an angel.
So, really, there was nothing surprising.
If people like them weren't suited for angelhood, then who was?
