It was a common joke, but this time the reaction of the party was not so friendly.

�I brought him for that.�This man is called Macha�s knight.�Self-proclaimed, of course.�

�Hoo?�If so, I�m even more suspicious.�Slashing 10,000 demons is not the realm of living things.�

�Stop talking nonsense and check it out.�Can a human whose heart has stopped be revived?�

Grain turned to Lian as if seeking an explanation.

�What are you talking about?�

�in fact���

On the way to the hideout, he heard about a person called Grain, so Lian also expressed his curiosity.

�Hmm, if you hear the hallucination of Smille, it means that the wound will regenerate.�Even in death.�

�yes.�I think I forgot how to die.�

Grain nodded.

�It�s a strange thing.�But it is not a special phenomenon.�Because immortality is also the original characteristic of living things.�

�You mean you won�t die?�

�What is death?�Just because a stone breaks doesn�t mean it�s dead.�Living things also came from inorganic matter.�If you go back to the beginning of life, to the primeval, there is no concept of death.�

Ryan listened intently.

�But why didn�t it evolve into an eternal creature?�It�s because of the virus.�Small things in the middle between animate and inanimate things infect certain information.�

Grain punched the palm of his hand.

�You know what I mean?�If we don�t try to change the information, we�ll go extinct because of the virus.�There is a limit to defense with mutation alone.�So living things borrowed a unique way of combining information.�The combination of male and female creates new information and then discards the old information.�

�That is death.�

�As long as the virus exists, old information must be discarded, and new information must be produced endlessly.�This is why animals hate incest.�Combining it with outdated information does not help fight the virus.�

Grain pointed at Lian.

�Smiele�s hallucinations, your grandfather said he heard them too.�But you don�t know who Smille is.�

�yes.�

�Maybe he knows.�Even if it�s not in your memory, it could be imprinted in your genes.�

�Genes?�

�The more you enter the world of microparticles, the more you realize that there are no analogs in this world.�Life is nothing more than an aggregate of information in the smallest unit.�I think your present nature could be a very old genetic code that responds to certain stimuli.�

Xenia asked.

�If that information is triggered, you don�t die?�

�It is possible.�As I said earlier, death is not the original function of life.�
