Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 318 Necromancer and Wutiao Wuhui

Hei Tongqian also agreed very quickly, anyway, he just needs to mention it to his boss, and the specific situation depends on what Aoqi Chengzi thinks.

Exactly since he joined that company, he hasn't seen his boss receive any entrustment for more than a month, and now he can't even pay his salary.

Although the person in front of him looks scary in size, he doesn't seem to have too much malice, and he also said that the reward will be generous enough, so Hei Tongqian also thinks it is an opportunity to save his boss from lying on the desk every day Whining out of boredom.

"Then it's settled. I'm looking forward to that Cangqi Chengzi's reply." Zheng Shu nodded with a smile and stood up from the chair.

After leaving his contact information, he left the ward.

Seeing the door that Zheng Shu closed, Hei Tongqian was also silent for a long time, then he remembered what Zheng Shu had said before, and a glimmer of hope ignited in the eyes of Liang Yi who was lying on the hospital bed.

"Half a year... Shi, can you really wake up?"

……

……

After leaving the ward, Zheng Shu didn't leave the hospital directly, but wandered aimlessly on the hospital floor.

Fortunately, this is a high-end hospital, and Zheng Shu's floor is the most high-end single ward, so there are not many people seeing a doctor here, and there are very few doctors and nurses coming and going.

Otherwise, with Zheng Shu's body shape, it would be easy to attract the attention of others.

After searching carefully along the breath that resembled a dead spirit, Zheng Shu finally found the room where it came from.

dong dong.

Zheng Shu curled up his fingers and tapped lightly on the door. The dull voice spread in the empty corridor. Zheng Shu, who stood there waiting for a while, frowned, because he didn't hear any response from inside.

Something is wrong!
"Sorry, I'm in." He raised his voice slightly and said into the room.

Zheng Shu reached out to the doorknob and opened the door. What came into view was a girl lying on the hospital bed who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and some strange souls staring at her beside her.

"Floating spirit?" Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows unconsciously as he looked at the white mist without any solid form.

The soul fragments of some creatures after death will float in the air like dust, and those are called "distractions" by magicians.Distracting thoughts themselves do not have any abilities, even for magicians they are almost useless leftovers.

But in some cases, these fragments will gradually gather together during the wandering, forming a seemingly complete soul.

It's just that the souls formed in this way do not have self-awareness, but only the existence of instincts. They instinctively want to change back to their previous selves and want human corpses, and such existences are "floating spirits".

The power of the "floating spirit" itself is quite weak, and it has almost no effect on ordinary humans. If they are healthy humans, they will not even perceive their existence.

Only those who are extremely weak and dying, or magicians with special vision like Zheng Shu, can perceive their existence.

The concept of life and death in a place like a hospital is very strong, and there are a lot of distracting thoughts in itself. They are more likely to gather together to become floating spirits, and a large number of floating spirits will form enough to show their identity. Shaped things, which are what ordinary people call "ghosts".

Whether it is a floating spirit or a ghost, the desire for the body is extremely strong.

Zheng Shu thought of this, and the golden color in his eyes flashed, just glanced at the floating spirit that was close to a ghost, and the surging flames that appeared out of thin air burned it into nothingness from the inside out.

Walking quickly to the side of the hospital bed, Zheng Shu glanced at the name marked on the side of the bed: Kimura Shinmi.

"It's not Wutiao Wuhui, is it the victim?" Zheng Shu narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect Wutiao Wuhui to start searching for his "companion" so early.

But in retrospect, in the original book, when the incident happened in June, there were a total of eight victims.

However, even if Wutiao Wuhui was transformed into a "double body" by Ara Ye Zonglian, she doesn't have much charm ability. If you want the victims to jump off the building obediently, the most important thing is to confuse their souls .

After a little inspection, just as Zheng Shu imagined, the soul of the girl in front of her has disappeared.

In the Xingyue world, human existence is composed of three parts, namely body, soul and spirit, which are the elements of the Trinity.

The body is the interface that directly interacts with the material world, the soul is the medium that attaches to the body and communicates with the spirit, and the spirit represents self-awareness and cognition of the world.

If you use a computer to describe it, it is probably the difference between hardware, software, and stored internal data.

Although the girl in front of her seemed to have just fallen into a deep sleep, her body was unable to continue functioning because of the lack of her soul.If she doesn't get her soul back, her body will fall into a deep sleep like a vegetative state.

In fact, the connection between the human soul and the body is not as close as ordinary people imagine. In many cases, the soul will unconsciously leave the shackles of the body for various reasons, such as some so-called "leaving the soul". disease".

However, because the pure soul cannot stay in the material world for too long without the intervention of a magician, even if the symptoms of the soul leaving the body appear, the soul will soon return to the physical body following the connection with the physical body.

But there is also an unexpected situation, if for some reason the soul is often separated from the body for too long, then the connection between the two will weaken, and even lose coordination completely in the end. Supernatural forces are guiding.

When there is a loss of coordination between the soul and the body, the soul will unconsciously want to "return" to where they were before.In order to get rid of the shackles of the flesh, most of the methods they choose are "suicide".

So Wutiao Wuhui obviously didn't have the idea of ​​killing others at the beginning, but people would still die because of this, and this is the reason.

She thought she was simply looking for a playmate, but she didn't know that frequently letting the soul leave the body would make the other party's soul and body more imbalanced, eventually leading to the suicide of the "playmate".

And Wu Tiao Wuhui himself also distorts his will as a "human being" because he frequently lets his soul leave his body. disregard.

Because for spirit creatures, the body is just a cage that binds them, and the soul that can fly freely is the free subject.

"Because I have been locked inside the hospital, do you yearn for the outside scene?" Zheng Shu lowered his eyes, "Sure enough, in the magician's world, the purer the desire, the easier it is to go to extremes, and the stronger the power you get."

The Wutiao family where Wutiao Wuhui lives is a branch of the Wujing family, one of the four major demon-fighting families in Guanbuzi City. The characteristic of this family is that they can see things that ordinary people cannot see by overdrawing their own eyesight.

As a branch lineage, Wutiao Wuhui's own strength should be extremely weak, but driven by the extreme desire to go out, she has obtained a powerful "overlook" even in her own family.

The price, of course, is that she is completely blind and can only see spirits.

Araya Soren also transformed her into a double body based on Wu Tiao Wu'e's talent.

"It's no wonder there are floating spirits appearing here. Suddenly, a new 'house' that lost its owner appeared. These flesh-seeking guys will naturally follow their instincts and come here."

"Fortunately, there is still time."

Zheng Shu observed the situation of the girl on the hospital bed. The girl's soul should have just left her body not long ago, so there was no major problem with her body. The reason why she was able to attract Fuling was entirely because this is a hospital. s reason.

However, Zheng Shu felt that it would be better to find the soul of the other party as soon as possible. After all, such a good "body" is placed in a place like a hospital. The weaker it gets, the floating spirits will scramble to snatch it.

At that time, even if the girl on the bed wakes up again, it is no longer her inner self, but the chaotic soul dominated by instinct.

Zheng Shu was about to leave the ward, but suddenly stopped, and looked at the wall on the other side of the ward: "Huh? Such a fast reaction speed, and this amount and level... Are there so many souls gathered in this hospital?"

Recalling what he saw in the two ceremonial wards in his mind, Zheng Shu probably had a guess in his heart: "So that's the case, was he attracted here in advance? If it is said that he was attracted continuously for a year and a half, Then it is understandable to gather such a large number.”

As Zheng Shu's voice fell, a large swath of white mist appeared in the ward, it.They easily passed through the concrete wall, and greedily threw themselves on the body on the hospital bed.

Zheng Shu brushed past the white mist, and when it touched his face, it felt like a cloud of mist containing cold wind. Feeling an inexplicable biting cold.

"Not bad!" Zheng Shu's eyes lit up, "This amount is worth a bit."

The value of a single floating spirit is not very high. For many magicians, they don't even bother to take care of it, but gathering together a large number of floating spirits is another concept.

The essence of these things is the soul of chaos, no matter how chaotic they are, after being collected, materials related to the soul can be extracted from them.

In the magician's world, everything related to the soul, even a little bit of material, is of great value, especially for puppeteers.

"It's really good luck. I'm still wondering what kind of reward I should bring to meet that Cangqi Chengzi." Zheng Shu looked at the white mist that filled the whole room, smiled and raised his hand.

"!!!"

The obscure language was spoken from his mouth, which was the magic that Zheng Shu had learned through years of study.

Surging magic power gushed out from his body, forming a crystal substance that looked like a diamond-shaped crystal in the upper middle of the palm.

Along with Zheng Shu's singing, lines representing magic also appeared inside the crystal. Zheng Shu's singing was fast, and the inside of the crystal was quickly engraved with runes.

call!
At the moment when the crystal was engraved with runes, the white mist that poured into the room seemed to have sensed some danger and fled in all directions. Unfortunately, it was too late for them to escape at this time.

An inexplicable suction came from the crystal, and the floating spirits in the form of white mist around them were like logs caught by the vortex of the sea. No matter how hard they tried to escape, it was useless. Inhaled into the crystal.

At the moment when all the mist was about to be sucked in by the crystal, dozens of different faces appeared in the mist, showing painful and hideous expressions, and then the mist shrank violently, and then these faces also collapsed into white mist and were covered by the crystal one by one. absorb it.

A large number of floating spirits were easily collected by Zheng Shu, but this seemed to have touched some mechanism, and a deafening roar of anger erupted in a field that ordinary people could not perceive.

"Om..."

"The quality is not bad. It seems that the floating spirits attracted by the origin of the two ceremonies are quite high in both quality and quantity."

Zheng Shu looked at the gray magic crystal in his hand and nodded in satisfaction, then put it back into his pocket, then turned his head to look in the direction from which the roar came, with an even more surprised look on his face. smile:

"There are unexpected gains? That's right, gathering such a large number of floating spirits will definitely give birth to higher-level undead. It turns out that part of the breath I felt before was emitted by you."

Accompanied by a buzzing roar, a monster completely different from those white mist-like floating spirits appeared in the room. Its body showed an almost pitch-black deep color, and its body shape looked extraordinarily special. clear.

With the appearance of this undead, the temperature of the surrounding air seems to have dropped a lot.

Sensing the changes in the surrounding temperature and the room that had suddenly darkened since the appearance of the undead, Zheng Shu's face became even more surprised: "In addition to being able to interfere with the real world, can it actually affect the surrounding environment? Quality It’s a lot better than I expected at first.”

Sensing Zheng Shu's gaze on prey, anger seemed to appear in the originally chaotic head of the undead.it
The bone claws on his hand suddenly stretched out, looking like ten scimitars, and the blue soul flames burned in the skull-shaped eye sockets.

The sharp bone claws traced a cold trajectory in the air, stabbing Zheng Shu's eyes fiercely.

Ding!
Facing the enemy's attack, Zheng Shu didn't have any intention of dodging at all, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

The bone claws that could easily cut through the stake pierced his eyeballs as if they had hit some solid metal, not only did not leave a trace of scars, but the attacking bone claws were easily broken by the rebounding force .

"Boom!!!"

Seeing that his attack failed, the undead let out a silent roar, and the broken bone claws recovered in the next instant. Pure physical damage is ineffective against such a spirit body. Unless magic is used, it will never be able to give it back. do real damage.

"Not bad, it would be a pity to give this away." Zheng Shu stretched out his hand towards the undead in front of him.

Seemingly sensing the approaching danger, the undead wailed and wanted to escape from this room.

But it was too late, Zheng Shu's palm exuded a terrifying suction force, no matter how hard the Necromancer tried to break free, it could not escape the shackles of the suction force, it could only watch in horror as its body disintegrated into crystal fragments Gathered in Zheng Shu's palm.

"It's not bad, there are extra gains." Zheng Shu looked at a blue crystal condensed by the soul in his palm and smiled with satisfaction.

"However, since such a situation has already occurred, it means that things are a little troublesome." Zheng Shu put away the soul crystal and thought for a while.

Glancing outside, it was almost dusk, Zheng Shu thought for a while, and chanted a strange language again, but this time what he chanted was not a magic rune, but a dragon text.

Surging magic power gushes out from the body, and is transformed into fire element under the action of the words spirit.

Under Zheng Shu's deliberate control, these fire elements quickly spread around the inpatient building of the hospital, and soon completely enveloped the entire hospital.

"This density... should be enough." After a little calculation, Zheng Shu snapped his fingers.

Snapped!
Accompanied by the ringing sound of snapping fingers, the fire elements all over the hospital were "detonated" by Zheng Shu at the same moment, and everyone in the hospital could feel that the already dusk sky suddenly brightened.

Some people who can slightly feel the existence of floating spirits due to their excessive weakness can even hear faint screams.

"what!"

A slight exclamation came from another ward, and Zheng Shu's ears accurately caught the sound.

The speech spirit he released can not only clean up the floating spirits in the entire hospital, but also, with the help of the adjustment of divine power, can also cause an explosive increase in the physical activity of all creatures within this range.

Zheng Shu didn't know exactly what method Huangye Zonglian used to transform Wutiao Wuhui's double body, but he knew that no matter what method she used, in order to prevent Wutiao Wuhui from dying in a short time, she There must still be a certain connection between the soul and the body.

And the releaser's body has always been the biggest weakness in such things as the soul leaving the body. People like Wu Tiao Wuhui who dare to leave the body without anyone's protection are considered ignorant and fearless.

When the body's activity is activated in an instant, the connection between the body and the soul will also increase greatly in a short period of time, so no matter what kind of spell, it will eventually force the unsheathed soul to be pulled back. into the body.

Just like now, the girl lying on the hospital bed next to Zheng Shu began to open her eyes dimly with her body trembling violently.

But when her sight fully recovered, Zheng Shu had already left the ward.

……

……

Wu Tiao Wuhui woke up suddenly from the bed. Although she was completely blind and couldn't see the scene, she could still feel the clear changes in light and dark.

What's more, because of her own talent, she can see more clearly when she is in the soul state. Coupled with the pain she felt again in her body, Wu Tiao Wuhui immediately knew that she had returned to this cage-like body.

"what happened?"

Wu Tiao Wuhui was a little puzzled. Ever since Araya Zonglian, who claimed to be her father's friend, transformed her body, Wu Tiao Wuhui's soul out of body has never failed.

"It's the first time I've seen someone as courageous as you. Don't you know that a body without a soul is very fragile?"

A voice suddenly came from the side, and only then did Wu Tiao Wuhui realize that there was someone beside her.

"Who?!" Wu Tiao Wuhui turned her face to where the voice came from, with uncontrollable horror still on her face.

Although she had completely lost her vision after awakening her ability, it was replaced by a clearer perception of the soul, as well as a "overlook" that could see the whole situation from a high altitude.

Coupled with the five senses that have become more acute after losing sight, Wu Tiao Wuhui thinks that she is sharper than before losing sight, if it is really counted from the perspective of observation ability.

But don't talk about just now, even after this person speaks now, Wu Tiao Wuhui still doesn't "see" the existence of the other party.

Both the perception of the soul and the "overlook" she awakened were useless, as if the person who made the sound did not exist.

However, the increasingly severe sense of oppression in the room and the huge sense of presence made Wu Tiao Wuhui understand that the other party was really standing in front of her.

Zheng Shu looked at Wu Tiao Wu Hui with great interest.

On the white hospital bed, a frail girl sat on it.Under the loose hospital gown, there are slender hands and feet, slender eyebrows and cold eyes, and a head of black hair hanging down the back, as smooth as silk. With fair skin, coupled with the elegance from a famous family, she is undoubtedly a top-notch beauty.

The only fly in the ointment is probably those dull eyes.

However, relying on his divinity, Zheng Shu could also sense the bad state of Wu Tiao Wuhui's body.

Her body was almost a mess, her lungs were almost completely broken, and even the simplest breathing would feel like a knife-like pain.

The skin covered by the patient's clothes had large ulcers everywhere, and the redness and swelling caused by various inflammations in the body increased wantonly, and some even showed symptoms of cancer.

If it weren't for the magical power in Wu Tiao Wuhui's body to support it, ordinary people would have died long ago if they were eroded by disease to this state.
