Absolute Death Game-Chapter 489 - 53: Soul Out Of Body_2
Xiao Buli kept rolling his eyes inwardly upon hearing all this. It seemed Bai Yunfei's Heart Demon was indeed of a naturally innocent and carefree nature, having transformed the gloomy Bai Yunfei into what he was today, "So what should I do now?"
"I have a skill, Soul Out Of Body, remember? You're now entering the game in a state of consciousness, which is somewhat similar to Soul Out Of Body. Anyway, I think if you learn this skill, it should help you wake up," Bai Yunfei finally spoke earnestly, suggesting what seemed like a very reasonable solution.
"Soul Out Of Body?" Xiao Buli certainly remembered. Back when they were exploring dungeons, the scouting tasks were always handed over to Bai Yunfei. Back when he was a newbie himself, he had been extremely envious. "That's great, can you teach it to me?"
"Of course!" Bai Yunfei spoke loudly, "Of course not, haha, this is a game, buddy. Even if I'm now a monster, I cannot break the game's rules. You can only make use of them."
"Damn, then what's the point of bringing it up? Just to piss me off?" Although humor is a good thing, constantly being toyed with by someone else's humor isn't exactly a happy affair.
"You could kill me; I've got quite a few good pieces of equipment on me!" Since Bai Yunfei had a lifetime to spend in this desert, he had thoroughly searched it and, of course, obtained quite a few treasures.
"You..." Xiao Buli was momentarily at a loss for words. He understood what Bai Yunfei meant—he was suggesting Xiao Buli kill him so he could drop equipment for Xiao Buli. Of course, Bai Yunfei also had the Soul Out Of Body Skill Book on him, but how could that be possible? Xiao Buli killing Liu Xing before was out of necessity. As long as there were other choices, he would never lay a hand on his former teammates. "No, no, impossible, how could I possibly kill you."
"Oh, where's your mind going? You think I'm self-sacrificing to drop equipment for you? Of course, it is a sacrifice, even though I can respawn, dying still feels just like death," Bai Yunfei said.
"What? You can respawn?? How's that possible, you're not system-generated?" Xiao Buli exclaimed in surprise. Everything in this damn game developed non-randomly, entirely different from those online games, so the dungeons here were generated randomly and were rarely formed again once broken, making them particularly precious. He had seen naturally respawning creatures, like the small beasts in the forests and the patrol guards of Blackwind Stronghold—even their chief couldn't respawn. But how could a monster transformed from a player respawn?
"I don't know, but ever since I was transformed, I've been able to respawn. Sometimes if I wander too far and when I wake up, ding~, I find myself back in this cave. I guess maybe it's because there are too few monsters in the Endless Desert. Enough chit-chat, hurry up and kill me; let's see if I can drop a Skill Book for you. It's all about luck," after saying that, Bai Yunfei stood up from the chair with his arms outstretched, ready to accept his fate.
Xiao Buli knew what needed to be done, but thinking that it was Bai Yunfei, he still hesitated. What if he couldn't respawn this time? Drawing out the Glowing Light, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Here I come!"
With a swish, his sword slashed down, -234, a number floated up from Bai Yunfei's head.
"Wow, not bad, your attack power is quite strong. Aim for the head, it's easier to die that way," Bai Yunfei seemed not to feel any discomfort and even offered a reminder, which made Xiao Buli feel a lot better. He hacked away at Bai Yunfei's head in a frenzy. With Bai Yunfei not resisting, the task became much easier. After about twenty or so hits, Bai Yunfei with over five thousand health points finally turned into a pile of dust.

This was great. If Old Bai was willing, this could be a good method for farming experience. However, upon thinking that it was Bai Yunfei, Xiao Buli couldn't help but feel that his thoughts were a bit too cruel. He hurried over to loot the drops. Plenty of items had fallen, but unfortunately, there was no Skill Book. Xiao Buli picked up the items and set them aside, thinking it would be better to give them back to Bai Yunfei later.
After about an hour or so, Xiao Buli took the time to drink some water and rested on Bai Yunfei's chair. Suddenly, he heard a rustling noise coming from a dark corner.
"Old Bai?" Xiao Buli whispered. After a moment, Bai Yunfei, wrapped in bandages, finally emerged from the darkness.
"Dying for the first time really does take some getting used to, doesn't it? How long was I out? 24 hours? 12 hours? It's hard to keep track of time when you're unconscious."
"1 hour," answered Xiao Buli, who by now had adjusted to the darkness. He finally noticed what seemed to be a coffin or something similar hidden in the shadows from where Bai Yunfei had emerged—probably the system-designated place for his rebirth.
"1 hour? That short? So, any Skill Books drop?" Bai Yunfei walked over to Xiao Buli and asked.
"No, but a bunch of other random stuff did. Do you pick these things up every day?" Xiao Buli had killed time by thoroughly checking the items—a short knife for adventurers, a traveler's leather boots—little things like that, and then he couldn't help but lament how Old Bai's life wasn't much different from a ragpicker's.
"Yeah, what else is there to do? It's even more boring just sitting around. Do you want them? If you like, they're all yours," offered Bai Yunfei.
"Er, let's pass on that. They're your hard-earned treasures. Shall we start again?" With his recent experience, Xiao Buli felt more confident, quickly picking up the fallen items. This time the loot was much better than before, but still no Skill Book. After about five repetitions, even Bai Yunfei began to feel somewhat despondent.
"I must say, Old Xiao, your luck is really terrible. After I come back to life, I'm going to take a break," lamented Xiao Buli, feeling genuinely sorry about the situation. Maybe someone luckier would have had the drop by now. However, on the bright side, he had gained a lot of combat experience, hadn't he?
Fortune finally smiled upon Bai Yunfei, and the long-awaited end came. Xiao Buli saw the Skill Book drop and was filled with emotion. Not waiting for Bai Yunfei to revive, he immediately opened the book.
Soul Out Of Body: Temporarily separates your Primordial Spirit from your physical body. In this state, you are considered a Spiritual Being, constantly in a stealth mode. Physical attacks do not affect you; Yin Attribute damage does not affect you; 90% immune to spells; Yang Attribute damage can cause double damage to you.

Naturally, Xiao Buli chose to learn.
System Notification: Learning the skill, Soul Out Of Body.
Xiao Buli immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground and started to circulate his energy according to the memories imprinted in his mind. Moments later, a translucent Xiao Buli stood up from his body. Looking at the seated physical form, Xiao Buli was filled with delight. His spirit moved freely about, but he noticed that the Spiritual Body was different from a normal human body. It wasn't about freely moving limbs; instead, he had to use Telekinesis. Every time he wanted to move in a direction, he had to really focus, as if using a telekinetic wheelchair.
Perhaps this was the difference between a Spiritual Body and a physical body. However, after some practice, that strange feeling diminished significantly, and he was able to perform a series of actions fairly smoothly.
"Why are you still here?" Bai Yunfei's voice came from behind him. It took Xiao Buli a good while to slowly turn around. In this state, he couldn't converse with people, so reluctantly, he walked back to his body and sat down cross-legged.
Xiao Buli opened his eyes: "You're back? Though I can separate my spirit, how do I get back in? Just now, I tried leaving and returning to my body, but I wasn't able to get back inside the base at all." (To be continued. If you like this work, we warmly invite you to vote for it at .
