Chapter 009: Independent Soul Body
"Brush—"
The impulsive wisp of soulpower that felt like it passed through the space of less than twenty centimeters, and then penetrated into the skin of the safe......
Hey! How...... How so!
With the penetration of soul power, Yang Hongtao could clearly feel the structural characteristics of this miniature safe, and even what material each layer was made of could be completely "seen".
It seems that using the power of the soul to see through is even more awesome than the legendary perspective eye! With this sense of penetration, it is completely easy to understand the most essential inner part of the object being seen, and there is no secret in his eyes!
Yang Hongtao enjoyed this feeling of dissecting the essence of the object, so he did not rush to completely see through the entire safe at once, but controlled the soul power to go deeper and deeper little by little. When the power of his soul penetrated into the control center under the electronic lock, his heart suddenly moved, thinking that the thief skill he absorbed from the remnant soul could only be opened by the electronic lock, which made him very unwilling, and now that he has such an awesome perspective function, why not take the opportunity to study the essence of this electronic lock? After all, electronic locks are also locks, as long as you understand how it works, then with his profound unlocking skills, it may not be possible to crack the electronic lock with real skills!
Thinking of this, Yang Hongtao consciously let the soul power that penetrated into the safe stop continuing to penetrate into the depths, but stayed under the electronic lock, carefully observing and studying it. However, although his soul power did not continue to deepen, in order to maintain a continuous connection between the soul power radiating to the outside of his body and himself, he must not urge the soul power in his body to continue to output all the time. As a result, the soul power began to accumulate on that point inside the safe......
Soon...... When the soul power on that point reached an extremely high density, all the soul power accumulated there suddenly began to rotate violently like a vortex, and then Yang Hongtao suddenly felt that the soul power in his body began to gush out a little uncontrollably and frantically, continuously injecting into the vortex formed by the soul power!
And the most terrifying thing is that as long as all the soul power is sucked into that vortex, the essence changes immediately, Yang Hongtao can really feel the existence of these soul powers, but this feeling has become a bit of nothingness, as if it is no longer the energy he himself has! Yang Hongtao tried several times, but he couldn't mobilize the soul power that had been sucked into the vortex back into his body through his mind.
Yang Hongtao was really taken aback, his soul power was only accumulated little by little by absorbing the remnant souls of hundreds of death row prisoners, and in just such a short period of effort, he almost lost less than one and a half percent on this safe, which is equivalent to the soul energy absorbed from a dozen remnant souls just turned into nothing, how could Yang Hongtao not feel distressed?
Feeling that the safe was still continuously absorbing the soul power radiating from his eyebrows, as if there was no end, where did Yang Hongtao dare to hold on any longer, and hurriedly moved his mind, forcibly cutting off the connection between the main body and the soul power released.
"Whoosh-" The soul power that had not had time to drill out of the skin of the body was immediately taken back by him under Yang Hongtao's control, but the soul power that had been revealed to the body was like a stone sinking into the sea, all of them burrowed into the safe and sank into that terrible whirlpool!
Originally, part of the soul power was lost, even though Yang Hongtao was very distressed, but he would not take it too seriously, after all, as long as he was willing, as long as he went to the funeral home, hospital and other places to go around twice, as long as he could find the remnant soul who had just died, the lost soul energy could still be replenished.
It's just that he originally thought that with this kind of soul power that can be released, he is equivalent to having the ability to see, so when he starts a business in the future, it should be quite easy to use this ability to dig the first pot of gold. For example, go to the underground casino to play two hands, or go to Yunnan to gamble on stones or something, anyway, with the perspective function, if you want to make money, it will definitely not be difficult. However, now it seems that things are far from being as simple as he thought, just now he lost so much soul power, although he also saw through the internal structure of the safe a little, but it was far from penetrating, and he didn't even see what was in the safe! In this way, not to mention the cost of using soul power to see, I am afraid that the effect of this perspective may not be of much use!
This result made Yang Hongtao very disappointed, and then gritted his teeth very unwillingly, ready to risk losing some more soul power to try again. Now that I think about it, it was still very smooth when he first penetrated the soul power into the safe just now, and it wasn't until he stayed at one point for too long to study the mystery of the electronic lock that the soul power changed, maybe this time he carefully controlled the soul power and didn't let it stay in one place for too long, so this accident wouldn't have happened.
Thinking of this, Yang Hongtao squatted on the ground and turned his body slightly, and then condensed his mind again to control his soul power to shoot out through the center of his eyebrows, and this time he planned to let the soul power penetrate through the side of the safe, avoiding the side that formed the vortex before, so as not to repeat the mistake of the past.
However, what Yang Hongtao definitely didn't expect was that this time, as soon as his soul power touched the surface of the safe, it felt as if he had touched an invisible barrier, and the condensed soul power was immediately rebounded.
This phenomenon is not unfamiliar to Yang Hongtao, and he has encountered similar situations many times in the past when he existed as a ghost in that suburban execution ground, generally speaking...... When he releases the soul power, it can penetrate most matter, but ...... If he is facing a creature that also has a soul, then as soon as his soul power touches the opponent's skin, it will immediately be bounced away from the outside, and it will not be able to penetrate the opponent's body at all, even if he is only facing a weak ant.
Could it be that this safe contains a living creature?
Yang Hongtao's heart first came up with such a guess, but soon he felt that something was not right, because even if the safe really contained a small animal, it should only be bounced open when his soul power penetrated the safe and directly touched the animal inside, right? But now that his soul power had just touched the surface of the safe and it had bounced open, was that ...... Could it be that the safe itself is a creature with a soul?
This inference is obviously ridiculous, but Yang Hongtao's soul itself has been trapped in a small bullet for three years, so now he has encountered a safe that also has a soul body living in it, this doesn't seem to be an incomprehensible thing, right? Yang Hongtao was just wondering, if there was really a soul body in this safe, then why could his first soul power successfully penetrate it? Could it all be ...... The part of the soul power he lost just now was doing something?
This thought made Yang Hongtao's heart suddenly move, and at that moment, he once again condensed a trace of soul power, slowly penetrating out of his body and approaching the surface of the safe. And this time, he didn't try to penetrate this trace of soul power into the safe, but just let it slowly stick to the outside of the safe, feeling the mysterious power inside the safe with his heart......
Sure enough, this time, because Yang Hongtao did not let the soul power actively infiltrate into the safe, it was not rebounded, and then he obviously sensed that there was really a weak soul hidden in that small safe through the connection of soul power!
This is......
Yang Hongtao soon felt that the so-called soul in the safe actually had a sense of intimacy with his flesh and blood, and the weak soul clearly had a sense of dependence on him, just like a child's love for his parents.
Yang Hongtao was stunned for a long time, and then pinched his thigh hard, and finally made sure that he was not dreaming in vain. In the safe in front of him, a weak and relatively reading soul body was really formed. And he was 100% sure that the souls in this safe were made of the soul power that he had inadvertently lost in it before. He never imagined that a small fraction of pure soul energy split from his soul could quickly form a separate soul body after being injected into a non-living body! Even from the reaction of that weak soul body, he could see that this newborn soul body not only had a strong reading power, but also had a little bit of relatively simple thoughts, otherwise, it would be impossible for Yang Hongtao to clearly feel the emotions of joy, anger and sorrow expressed by this soul body through the contact of soul power! If there is no thought, where can there be any emotion?
Probably because this newborn soul body was split from Yang Hongtao's soul after all, so although it has now grown into a reading existence, it still has an inexplicable connection with Yang Hongtao itself, and soon Yang Hongtao found that even if he withdrew the soul power released from the outside, he could faintly feel the existence of the weak soul body in the safe. It's just that this feeling is too faint, and if he hadn't concentrated and felt it carefully, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
Moreover, this newborn soul body is obviously very trusting and defenseless towards Yang Hongtao, just like a newborn baby, which makes Yang Hongtao almost feel like he has an extra son.
Yang Hongtao soon began to think about what kind of gains this unexpected change would bring to him...... Being able to make a non-living substance have a mind and a soul is obviously a magical and amazing special ability, as long as it is used well, this will definitely be a kind of anti-heaven ability! Of course...... The premise of this is that the reading power soul body that has split from his soul can really be used by him, if he does not have the ability to command the other party, then it is difficult for him to gain any benefit from it, and it is nothing more than creating a terrifying monster that harms himself and others.
Thinking of this, Yang Hongtao immediately made a request through the connection between the depths of his soul and the newly generated soul body in the safe. Although Yang Hongtao felt that this newborn soul body should be equivalent to his own child, he didn't dare to take Lao Tzu's shelf and arrogantly issue orders to him, after all, even if he was really his own son, sometimes he would inevitably have a little rebellious psychology against Lao Tzu, not to mention that he was still facing a strange soul body now!
The result did not disappoint Yang Hongtao, and he also confirmed one thing through this experiment, that is, when an inanimate body has a soul that can read, it is no longer a cold dead thing, at least it will have some degree of control over itself. For example, now, after Yang Hongtao made a request to let the other party open the closed metal door, he saw that the LCD screen on the safe suddenly lit up automatically, and a string of chaotic symbols flashed on it, and then there was a soft sound of "beep", and the metal door on the safe immediately opened silently and automatically!
