Chapter 278: Return from the Dead? Mr. Su Yu's 'Back from the Dead'?
"However, there's no rush to forge the new battle armor yet; let's first decode the memories inside this pseudo-body."
"And... them..."
Su Yu turned his head and looked at the people in the Mechanical City.
Tie Long, Xie Yitian, Yang Lie, Xiao Shengyin and others were still immersed in the sorrow of Su Yu's "death".
They did not notice that Su Yu was standing right there, calmly watching them.
Because the duel between Su Yu and the Qi Demon, though complex to describe, actually happened in a flash of lightning.
It lasted less than a second!
For transcendent beings like Su Yu and Qi Demon, a battle might go on for three days and nights without a result, or it could decide life and death in just a single second.
Moreover, the conversation between Su Yu and the Qi Demon was conveyed through spiritual energy vibrations, transmitting at extreme speeds.
Plus, Qi Demon was invisible the whole time, while Su Yu was mostly in a quantumized state, virtually undetectable.
So, amidst such a grand battle, none of the many bystanders felt a thing!
Who would have known that within such a brief second, while an ordinary person couldn't even complete a thought, a nine-star powerhouse had already fallen?
This is the world of the strong! On a completely different dimension from ordinary people!
Additionally, Qi Demon had used her abilities to interfere with the emotions of the crowd, greatly diminishing their perception of the outside world.
So even transcendent beings like Tie Long, with eight or seven stars, felt nothing at all the whole time.
However, now that the fight was over and Qi Demon was dead, her influence dissipated, and Su Yu, released from the quantum state, would surely be noticed by everyone soon.
Su Yu looked at the crowd, didn't speak, and quietly waited for a few seconds.
During these few seconds, the effects left by Qi Demon completely vanished.
Finally, someone noticed Su Yu.
At this moment, everyone was originally immersed in endless sorrow, some mouths agape as if to wail, but just as a cry was about to erupt, something felt amiss.
It seemed there was Su Yu's presence?
They hurriedly turned their heads towards the direction of the presence, turning with such force it nearly twisted their necks off.
Then they saw two Su Yus, standing quietly not far away...
They rubbed their eyes in disbelief:
"Mr. Su Yu?!"
"Mr. Su Yu isn't dead? Who just said Mr. Su Yu died?"
"Wait, why are there two Mr. Su Yus?"
The crowd stood dumbfounded, staring at the unharmed Su Yu.
Su Yu smiled slightly, "Haha, I heard you all were spreading rumors that I was dead?"
He was in a good mood at the moment and casually made a joke.
The crowd, upon hearing this, hurriedly waved their hands, "Ahem, it was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, how could Mr. Su Yu die..."
Some of them internally nearly burst out cursing.
Who just said Mr. Su Yu died!? Isn't he alive and well, able to talk and joke?
There's even an extra one...
None of these people were Su Yu's mechanical believers, unable to sense Su Yu's state.
Previously, they had believed it when Tie Long and the other believers were absolutely sure that Su Yu was dead.
But now, isn't he alive and well?
In their joy beyond measure, they couldn't help but glare at Tie Long and the others.
This bunch is truly unreliable, spreading such false information!
Made them nearly cry their hearts out at their age, too much!
Tie Long and the mechanical believers, however, were now full of disbelief.
Just now, they clearly sensed that Su Yu had vanished.
How did he suddenly come back to life?
Even the Mechanical City and the Mechanical Spirit, these two mechanical lives, were a bit doubtful of the "mechanical life" they sensed.
Could it be there really was a mistake earlier?
No reason for it—they are Su Yu's creations, how could they sense wrong?
Seeing Tie Long and others doubting life, Su Yu lightly shook his head, then spoke earnestly:
"No more joking."
"Actually, it's not a misunderstanding, just now I indeed died once."
"No, strictly speaking, I died twice!"
"Earlier, while studying this ancient instrument, through certain means, I died once."
"When I died, the Qi Demon lurking in the Mechanical City emerged, attempting to perform an evil ritual using your memories."
"After I returned from death, I discovered its existence and fought it. During the process, due to an accident, I died once again. This death was even more complete than the last."
"But because of this death, I gained a different kind of powerful strength, allowing me to completely kill the Qi Demon and resurrect."
"Now that the Qi Demon is utterly dead, none of you have to worry about its threat anymore."
"This pseudo-body was created by the Qi Demon as part of the ritual. It poses no danger, everyone can rest assured."
Su Yu gave a brief outline of the events that occurred.
Although many confidential details couldn't be extensively explained, he selected what could be told and conveyed it.
After all, such a big incident needs a reasonable explanation; otherwise, everyone would inevitably overthink, causing chaos.
Upon clarification, everyone naturally settled down.
Seeing Su Yu's serious recount, they all immediately focused their full attention to listen.
And as they listened, they became increasingly stunned.
What is Mr. Su Yu saying?
During the study of the ancient instrument, he died once?
Can death really be measured in occurrences?
A normal person, isn't dying once the end?
Moreover, Mr. Su Yu, after dying, can be revived?
Then, after being resurrected, Mr. Su Yu found that terrifying Qi Demon, battled it, and "died" again?
After dying, he gained some powerful form of strength, killing that terrifying Qi Demon?
