Chapter 38 The Ghost Slave Army
Chapter 38 The Ghost Slave Army
At this moment, Su Qin, who was hiding in the basement, was clutching his stomach and looked somewhat listless.
"Ugh, the human body is such a hassle. I can't stand the hunger after just three or four days without eating."
The reason he was in poor spirits was because he was hungry. Except for his head, his whole body was no different from that of a normal person. He would still feel hungry just like an ordinary person. Although the presence of supernatural beings prevented him from starving to death, the lack of bodily functions made him very mentally weak.
"I wonder what the situation is like outside? It's been so long and there's still no news. This can't go on forever."
The clone didn't carry many supernatural abilities, and he couldn't borrow any more from the clone, so he didn't have much hope for the clone.
The gold in the basement isolated all supernatural entities, preventing Su Qin from observing the outside situation. His plan was simply to send his clone out to try and observe the area. Whether the clone was alive or dead, or whether it could imprison the vengeful spirit, was unimportant. He just needed to wait for a while and give the clone enough time to move around.
As long as Su Qin steps out of the basement, the supernatural medium will reconnect, allowing him to see through Su Qin's clone's eyes and witness what the clone sees. Even if the clone dies, according to the supernatural properties of this monocle, when the supernatural medium reconnects, the scattered supernatural entities will return, along with the consciousness carried by the clone. Even if the clone dies and its consciousness is destroyed by supernatural attacks, a portion of it will always return to its head.
After all, that wasn't the consciousness of an ordinary person; it was a consciousness protected by the supernatural. If that foreign devil could do it, there was no reason why he couldn't.
Just then, the wooden door to the basement was opened, and Su Qin immediately became alert, instantly focusing his attention and staring intently at the doorway. The unseen ghostly hand also reached out to the doorway, preparing to launch a deadly supernatural attack.
But as the wooden door opened, the ghostly hand stopped in mid-air, failing to complete its attack.
Because the disconnected supernatural mediums have reconnected, but there are more than a dozen supernatural mediums that have reconnected. However, except for one of them, the other dozen or so supernatural mediums are very weak.
Su Qin had no idea what was happening outside, nor could he judge the current situation. The ghost hand remained suspended in mid-air, remaining vigilant at all times.
In the darkness outside the door, more than a dozen figures gradually appeared in Su Qin's field of vision, and then they entered the basement one by one.
"They're really vigilant. Who else could be in this godforsaken place besides me..."
Before the clone could finish teasing Su Qin, it froze on the spot, then returned to normal a second later.
"I don't recall ever having such severe paranoia. You wouldn't be secretly keeping memories I don't know about, would you? If you can't even trust your own alter ego, who can you trust?"
The clone looked at Su Qin speechlessly and threw the body bag on the ground.
Just now, Su Qin invaded the consciousness of his clone through the medium of his monocle. Su Qin has never trusted clones created by supernatural forces, even though they possess a portion of his own consciousness. Precisely because of this, he understands the clone's personality and thoughts better than anyone else.
Directly invading the clone's consciousness is the safest and most effective method. The moment the two consciousnesses merge, he gains access to all of the clone's memories and learns everything that is happening outside.
"I'm truly a genius; I even came up with this method. It's probably unique in the current paranormal community!"
Su Qin couldn't help but sigh. Looking at the dozen or so dull and numb ghost slave clones, his eyes were shining. He seemed to see a broad road that no one had ever traveled before, with a bright future ahead. The gloom in his heart was swept away.
The clone glanced at Su Qin with disdain.
"Shameless! I'm the genius, okay?"
I've exceeded my expectations; now it's your turn to perform.
The reason the clone came back to find Su Qin was not simply because he was afraid of death, nor was it to slack off. He was originally a part of Su Qin and knew very well that now all Su Qin needed to do was to come out of the basement and personally control those ghost slaves. That would be equivalent to having dozens of lab rats by his side, and all of them would be lab rats with supernatural powers. Dealing with that old ghost would no longer be a difficult task.
Su Qin's true form couldn't help but show a hint of excitement, an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time. Ever since becoming a Ghost Master, he had lived in constant fear, but now he finally didn't have to worry anymore.
Although his physical condition was not good, Su Qin was unusually excited and walked out of the basement without hesitation, with the group of clones behind him quickly following.
This is indeed a broad and easy road. It doesn't require much mental effort. Just like the clone did, you only need to allocate a small portion of your consciousness to control those ghost slaves.
The clones already contain vengeful spirits. Creating such clones requires a large number of consciousness entities, but these ghost servants do not need that; they only need to maintain normal operations.
His consciousness is different from that of ordinary people. When an ordinary person's consciousness is divided into smaller parts, it will not grow back. If it is divided into too many parts, it will result in either idiocy or death. However, his consciousness is protected by a vengeful ghost, and he may even have merged with the vengeful ghost. Vengeful ghosts cannot be killed. As long as the limit is not exceeded, and the vengeful ghost is revived, there will be no problem.
Su Qin moved swiftly through the mud, his ghostly hands grabbing at the wandering ghost slaves without restraint, skillfully separating a small portion of their consciousness and placing it into their heads.
Half an hour later, Su Qin swept away all the intact ghost slaves in the ghost realm and turned them all into his ghost slave clones. At this time, he was surrounded by forty or fifty ghost slave clones, and his confidence swelled up instantly.
"Now, it's time to lock that old devil up!"
Su Qin's eyes were sharp as he began searching for the old ghost's figure. With so many ghost slave clones possessing supernatural powers, he refused to believe that the old ghost couldn't be imprisoned.
This ghost realm belongs to that old ghost. Although they have an absolute disadvantage on their home turf, Su Qin has an absolute numerical advantage.
Dozens of ghost servant clones dispersed to search for the old ghost's whereabouts. Once they found the ghost, they would swarm it and imprison it in one fell swoop.
The Ghost Realm is a strange and wondrous place where distance and space are distorted, and what you see and hear may not be real. It is easy to make mistakes if you rely solely on your naked eyes.
Su Qin adopted a more radical approach. He had already discovered the old ghost's figure, but it was difficult to determine whether it was the old ghost's true form. Therefore, Su Qin had the ghost servant clone leave the underground on its own initiative to trigger the patterns of the vengeful ghost.
"I've dealt with all of that old ghost's servants. Now, if a servant is attacked, I can determine whether the attacker is a vengeful ghost."
Su Qin had plenty of bait and wasn't worried about anything going wrong.
A tall ghost servant clone emerged from the ground and appeared in front of the old ghost, blocking its path.
The old ghost dragged its stiff body with heavy steps, approaching the ghost slave clone step by step. Without any extra movements or changing direction, it just walked towards the ghost slave clone in a wooden manner.
The ghost servant clone stood still, not moving. He had not fully analyzed the killing patterns of the vengeful ghost and could only try slowly.
The ghost seemed to completely ignore it, continuing to wander aimlessly and woodenly.
"It seems that standing is not the condition that triggers the murder pattern. Let's try taking a few steps."
The ghost servant clone moved slowly to the side with stiff steps, its eyes fixed on the vengeful ghost's every move, to see if it would react in any way.
The ghost slave had only taken two steps, moving out of the old ghost's line of sight. Just when the ghost slave clone thought it had failed, the old ghost's head moved slightly, turning its head slightly towards the ghost slave clone, its lifeless and empty eyes fixed on the ghost slave clone.
The body of the ghost slave clone is a corpse. It does not have the senses of a normal person and will not encounter the supernatural like the original body. Its body will not be able to sense the abnormal coldness. It can only judge from the details shown by the vengeful ghost.
"It must have its eye on me. Walking around should trigger its killing pattern. I'll try taking a few more steps."
Seeing that the old ghost had reacted, the ghost servant clone did not hesitate and continued to walk to the side, walking faster and faster, and the sound of its footsteps became louder and louder.
Suddenly, as if it had been stimulated by something, the old ghost took a stiff step and its figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the old ghost appeared out of thin air in front of the ghost slave clone, less than a foot away.
The old ghost and the ghost slave clone faced each other. The ghost slave clone was stared at by those lifeless and empty eyes. Even though its body was just a corpse and its brain capacity was not large, it still felt a chill down its spine.
The old ghost stiffly raised its arm and grabbed at the ghost slave clone. At the same time, dozens of pale, dead arms suddenly emerged from the soil beneath the old ghost's feet.
The countless dead arms ignored distance and space, suddenly emerging and grabbing at the old ghost, crawling all over his body.
Instantly, the old ghost's arm froze in mid-air, its entire body falling silent, standing there motionless.
The entire dilapidated Jinshan Temple was shaking and twisting, and the weeds on the ground and the moldy moss on the walls followed suit, writhing and writhing.
Tick-tock~ Tick-tock
Suddenly, a light rain began to fall from the cloudless sky, followed by the rapid appearance of dark clouds in the distance, turning the sky gray and hazy, as if a torrential downpour was taking place outside.
Dark clouds and heavy rain pressed down on the dilapidated Jinshan Temple. Normal buildings began to appear around the temple, and in the distance, squads of heavily armed steel men patrolled around the temple in the rain.
The heavy rain gradually pressed in from the outside in, and the dilapidated buildings, weeds, and moldy moss around it were rapidly twisting and retreating from the outside, slowly crawling into the old ghost's body.
The torrential rain poured down, and the dilapidated Jinshan Temple disappeared, all of it disappearing into the body of the old ghost that was submerged by the dead man's arm.
"The ghost realm has vanished! As expected, with so many ghost servants comparable to C-level supernatural beings attacking at the same time, even this old ghost couldn't withstand it."
Su Qin, carrying the body bag, crawled out of the muddy soil and walked step by step toward the old ghost.
When Su Qin arrived in front of the old ghost, the countless pairs of dead arms sent the old ghost slowly retracting into the ground.
With lightning speed, Su Qin quickly slipped the body bag over the old ghost's body, stuffing the ghost's entire body into the bag and successfully imprisoning him.
