Chapter 552: Huangquan's Blame
With the cover of the dead soul, it is much easier to move after that. When the ghost soldiers dispersed, everyone quietly approached the target, and the perfect coordination of the soul bead and the soul bag was captured again and again, while when the ghost soldiers patrolled closely, their hands raised and drooped, mixed in with the ranks of dead souls wandering around, slowly acting ignorant.
After catching one street, you can change to another street, and almost every time you can find a few that meet the criteria. After a few hours, the soul bag had filled most of the pocket.
However, while the superficial form is good, it also leads to another problem that cannot be ignored.
If Ye Shuo could be regarded as a coincidence at first, but as the hunting operation gradually deepened, this problem began to make him have to face it.
Even if the base number of dead souls is large enough, how can there be so many people who are completely consistent with the attributes of another person? And in retrospect, Ye Jingyan was able to be used to fill the soul for Jia Luo, obviously she was also a compatible person. What is the special meaning of this birthday?
At this moment, they came to another long street, and the people acted the same as before, but when they had captured the last dead soul and were about to change the battlefield again, the sudden commotion attracted their attention.
"Oh my God, it's that ghost general Wuxiang! Why did he patrol this way?" Everyone secretly complained, because they didn't know when he appeared, and he could not detect his actions, and everyone couldn't make up their minds for a while, whether to continue to disguise, or to run away immediately?
As the ghost general Wuxiang's footsteps slowly approached, everyone's bodies had already made a judgment before their brains, and they gathered in a pile on the street corner in twos and threes, their heads buried deeply, and they scanned each other's toes with their residual vision. Anyway, they have also observed that even those real dead souls are not wandering all the time, and it is perfectly okay to stop occasionally to "think about life".
"I mean, he can't be looking at us, ......?" Xuyuan's head was already so low that he couldn't lower it any longer, and he noticed that Wuxiang stopped not far from them at this time, and around him, there was a strange feeling of being watched, as sharp as if he wanted to penetrate the disguise of his dead soul and see through his essence......
Gongsun Zhiqi risked turning her head, and at first glance she came into contact with two cold gazes.
"He's just watching us!
The cold hairs on everyone's body stood up, and they ran away, not caring how conspicuous such a move was in a group of slow-moving dead souls, and when they saw a corner, they drilled into it with their lives, and there were a few times when they panicked, and they almost collided together. And behind them, the unphased figure also turned into a streamer, chasing them like lightning.
This time, everyone's good luck seemed to have come to an end, and they shuttled all the way through the winding alleys, and finally appeared a dead end! The road was so short, it was too late to turn around and escape, and the footsteps outside the alley were close to the ears!
When Wuxiang rushed into the alleyway, all he saw was a bare wall in front of him.
Under the wall, the "invisible" Ye Shuo and the others were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.
At the last moment, Ye Shuo used the skill of the soul master to cover the soul aura of the five people, and this trick was also used for the first time, and the effect was unpredictable.
And in the case of the soul leaving the body, he can't use the self-repair of the spiritual veins around him, and he can't absorb the dead qi that pervades the ghost world, so every point of soul power consumed, the soul body will really fail one point. This is also the reason why after entering the ghost world, Ye Shuo has always avoided using soul master skills.
At this time, Wuxiang stood in front of a few people, his eyes swept inch by inch in front of the wall, and in the eyes of everyone, he felt that he was staring directly at himself. His gaze was as cold as a blade, and in front of him, he was like a criminal with nowhere to hide.
Gongsun Zhiqi's eyes were already welling up with tears, and she bit her lip to prevent the tears from rolling down. and Ye Jingyan's hands quietly shook together, and they could feel that the other party's palms were as cold as ice.
Xu Yuan couldn't withstand this huge pressure, and rushed forward in pain and made a few grimaces, and after being discovered by Jia Luo, he glared at him fiercely. And beside them, Ye Shuo's face was turning sharply pale, and the invisible soul body had already appeared slightly blurred.
Wuxiang had been here for a long time, perhaps because he was sure that his tracking was correct, and that the enemy had indeed fled into this alley, or perhaps it was because this place always made him feel a little bit of a living person, and as an iron-masked ghost, he could not allow any fugitives to appear from his hands.
But the long-term search was fruitless, and finally his guard was relaxed. Thinking that the other party might have fled a long time ago, it would be futile to delay any longer, so he swung the ghost gun in his hand and strode away.
Almost as soon as the phaseless figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley, the figures of Ye Shuo and the others were hastily revealed.
At this time, they were all in shock, and Ye Shuo was the most embarrassed, his body staggered, and if he hadn't held on to the wall in time, he would almost fall to the ground. The continuous consumption has made him reach the limit, but fortunately, he finally lasted a little longer than Wuxiang!
"It's not good to stay here for long. I suggest, let's move to a farther street, shall we?" Jia Luo proposed to the crowd, and at the same time supported Ye Shuo one by one with Xuyuan.
"I agree!" Gongsun Zhiqi responded immediately, "That ghost general Wuxiang is really terrible, being glared at by him, I think I will have a short life of ten years!" At this time, she seemed to have forgotten who had praised the other party's "iron-faced selflessness" before.
The area of the ghost realm was very large, and everyone dared to stop and catch their breath after crossing more than a dozen streets in a row.
During Ye Shuo's meditation and pranayama, Jia Luo and the others were discussing the next strategy.
Regardless of whether their actions to capture the dead souls were encountered by the ghost generals or not, it was clear that the ghost world had begun to be vigilant.
The dead souls are also residents of the ghost world, maybe those who are on errands can't recognize every one, but the entire realm has so many dead souls missing at once, just like a large-scale human disappearance case in the world, it is impossible to sit idly by.
Now there are enough dead souls in the soul bag, and if one of them can be used to successfully fill Garo's soul, then everyone will no longer need to hunt. Even if none of them are suitable here, then they must be released first, and then a new batch will be arrested. At first, the behavior of trying to save trouble and grabbing a lot of money has obviously buried a huge hidden danger for them.
After a long time, Ye Shuo finally withdrew from the cultivation state. Although his complexion looks much better, the loss of soul power is a loss, and he can only wait until he returns to the yang world and then slowly recuperate. If it weren't for the fact that his soul power has always been far beyond ordinary people, I am afraid that he would not be able to maintain his correct shape at this time.
When Jia Luo conveyed the results of everyone's discussion to him, Ye Shuo pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. In the final analysis, this time it was indeed his carelessness, there were not so many beautiful things in the world that could be achieved overnight. Fortunately, this time everyone is fine, but it should be a lesson for him.
Then, Xu Yuan asked curiously about the strength of the ghost general Wuxiang, Ye Shuo shook his head solemnly: "I can't sense his specific realm, but I am only stronger than me." And judging from that strong sense of danger, I'm afraid he is already close to the realm of the Ghost King. ”
This is an understatement, but it is a big shock for everyone.
Approaching the Ghost King Realm? Wouldn't that be approaching the Tongtian Realm? Did they just pass by such a dangerous enemy?
With Ye Shuo's current state, if he encounters Wuxiang again, he will obviously no longer be able to hide his breath for everyone. It's useless to be scared here, the immediate priority is to fill Galo's soul as soon as possible, and then leave the ghost world immediately!
"Ye Shuo, you just consumed a lot of soul power, is it okay to start work now?
Ye Shuo shook his head: "No, there is not much time, if it is just to fill the soul, my soul power can still hold it." But before that...... "raised his hand and waved a layer of enchantment in the low alley, then raised his head and stared at Ye Jingyan seriously.
"Jingyan, before that, can you tell me first, what day is March 17 in the year of Bingchen, and why so many people died?"
Ye Jingyan was slightly stunned when she heard his question, and then quickly showed a mischievous smile: "This day, it's ...... My death day!"
When everyone was puzzled and didn't know what dumb riddle the two of them were playing, the playfulness on Ye Jing's face gradually receded, replaced by a serious face, and at the same time, there was a lingering layer of sadness. Everyone has known her for so long, and they are used to seeing her light anger and anger, and this is the first time they have seen her so serious. Instinctively, they didn't like her expression.
"I think you'd already noticed. Ye Jingyan spoke softly, "Since Jia Luo's soul can only be filled with dead souls, and dead souls have always been extremely rare in the yang world, then why can I do this?"
Ye Shuo's face didn't have too many questions, he was just waiting for a known answer with a heavy heart: "That's right, plus you know so much about the ghost world......"
Ye Jingyan smiled bitterly: "Yes, there can only be one explanation for all this." Because I'm not a living soul, I'm a dead soul!" looked at the open soul bag on the side, where a large number of jet-black dead souls were piled up, "--the same dead souls as them!"
"At the same time, I have an identity. Ye Jingyan looked around at everyone sadly, "I am the culpatory of Huangquan, to put it more colloquially, that is, a fugitive from the ghost world." ”
"What, you escaped from the Ghost Realm?" Sugaki was taken aback, "That means you're ......" His lips trembled several times, but he couldn't get the word out.
Ye Jingyan paced slowly, telling the hidden truth for him: "Yes, if you know that what you know has been a ghost from the beginning, will you still treat me as a friend like now?"
At this time, her footsteps stopped in front of Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan looked at her in a daze, swallowed his saliva, and finally said loudly in desperation: "Whether you are a human or a ghost, you are all Jingyan! As long as we know this, it is enough!"
Ye Jingyan was stunned for an instant, her body trembled violently, and she looked at Xu Yuan carefully, as if she was getting to know him again.
"Jingyan, if you feel embarrassed, you don't need to say it. Jia Luo couldn't bear it, and glanced at Ye Shuo, hoping that he could stop here.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't talk about something today, you'll never get a chance to say it. Ye Jingyan smiled faintly at him, and turned to everyone again.
"My soul was done the same thing as Garo. But you're lucky," he said, looking at Garo with complicated eyes, "You can save half of the remnants, which shows that the guys who experimented on you still have a little humanity." And my family ...... Those people in my clan are just a bunch of crazy people!
My soul is shattered piece by piece, I am so miserable, how I wish they could keep me a remnant soul and let me live, but they ...... They ...... "Talking about the unbearable past again, as if he was in the despair and helplessness of the year again, Ye Jingyan couldn't speak, hugged her shoulders with her hands, and trembled violently.
Gongsun Zhiqi silently hugged her and kept patting her back to appease. After a long time, Ye Jingyan's emotions finally calmed down again.
"And then ......," Ye Jingyan said, and actually giggled, "Then, I died." ”
"After I came to the ghost world, I couldn't be reincarnated with other spirits because of my resentment, but turned into a dead soul. On March 17 of the year of Bingchen, there seemed to be a lot of dead souls on that day. I went through the same process as them, but afterwards, I still had my full memory and consciousness intact. Is my obsession too strong, or is my family too powerful to even restrain my soul in the ghost world?"
"I continue to exist in the ghost world in such a special form. Every day, I wander the long streets with those dead souls, and the ghost soldiers don't see my secrets, not even the Lord Wuxiang. The corners of Ye Jingyan's mouth raised a mischievous smile again, and she seemed to be quite proud of the alien life that she had hidden from the world at the beginning.
"Later, I don't remember who told me that I could escape from the ghost realm as long as I kept running and running along the place where the Nether Grass bloomed...... I listened, I believed, so I fled. But after escaping, I realized that the Nether Grass is a trap, and it will lead people to a hell from which there will be no return!"
"Any soul that tries to escape will be punished heavily. Yes, how could the ghost world allow the people who were once controlled by them to get out of their control again? When I found this, I was completely discouraged, and when my defense was lax, I mustered up the courage to jump into the reincarnation, but I didn't expect that I would escape by mistake......"
"When I first arrived in the Yang Realm, I collected souls everywhere to cover the yin energy on my body, and I disguised myself as a soul soul that had been cast. It's the same as what Ye Shuo said before, the principle that two souls are fused together, and the breath is heavy enough to cover the other side, oh, I discovered this earlier than you......"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly felt a strange feeling from the bottom of their hearts, and subconsciously resisted her words. And Ye Jingyan still had that faint weird smile, slowed down her tone, and continued.
"But, I didn't just put them on, I absorbed them, and I turned their anger into my own......"
