Chapter 21: Fried Ghosts

As the old saying goes, opportunities are earned.

Accidents, too.

[Trigger Strategy Mission: Resolve Grievances]

[Mission Background/Mode: Real World/Single-player]

[Objective: Destroy the Possessed XCOM]

【Reward 1: Boost XP】

[Reward 2: 200 points of in-game currency]

[Completion Time: None]

[Failure Penalty: None]

When the system prompt appeared, a foggy white shadow appeared on the man who fell to the ground and convulsed.

As early as completing the first mission, Yeming noticed the word "XCOM" in the notes given by the system.

Search for content related to UFOs, alien creatures, ghosts, unidentified objects, games, movies, comics, and more.

The most interesting setting is the XCOM in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", which is a collection of plankton that can be deformed, split, and need water to survive, so they often parasitize in the human body as their survival form.

However, since this is a real-world mission, Luminous ruled out this option in the first place.

Of course, the possibility of the comic characters breaking through the dimensional wall and coming to the real world is still unconfirmed.

In short, the misty white figure, after flickering and flickering from the man in the overalls, did not show the fidget gun of the UFO, nor did he shoot the parts of his body as bullets.

Strictly speaking, the UFO in front of him has no substantial body at all.

Based on the two keywords of "resentment resolution and possession", as a less determined atheist, Yeming immediately thought of various urban legends and folk tales on the Internet.

So, I am, I met a ghost around the corner.

Without the slightest precaution or concern, it just appeared in front of me.

This place is a narrow passage between the parking lot and the emergency hall.

When he first came in, Yeming had already made a quick observation, except for a probe in the parking lot behind him that could shoot the position at the entrance of the narrow road, the rest of the angles could not be photographed.

Moreover, at this time, Yeming was wearing a hat, mask, and gloves, and he originally planned to assist the fat man, so he would naturally not be unprepared.

Without further ado, get on the equipment.

Ye Ming's body immediately showed 'half a Groot' [Li Sizhen's skin], and while his hands were in a grip shape, a nearly one-meter-long crowbar appeared in his palm.

"Ahh

The misty white UFO swayed and stretched out the entire phantom, stretched out its pale and slender arms, and just rushed towards the night, but let out a terrible and low hiss in the middle of the road, and quickly retracted to the man's body on the ground.

This voice is like Xiang Wentian, who swallowed charcoal in the rivers and lakes, and was stabbed with a sword.

[Suspicious crowbar: It was used by its former owner to manipulate a human body that had been cut into pieces, rounded up to the equivalent of a murder weapon, and perhaps it could cause effective damage to the UFO. 】

Clearly, the Phantom sensed the evil aura coming from the crowbar.

As the old saying goes, ghosts are afraid of the wicked.

The so-called evil refers to the evil spirit that comes with the murderer.

Ghosts have varying degrees of fear for such vicious people and murder weapons that have killed living beings.

"The system prompts, don't lie to me."

The conjecture in his heart was confirmed, and Yeming immediately swung a crowbar and hooked towards the phantom.

Sure enough, the half-hooked end of the crowbar hooked the throat of the ghostly spectacle that was rapidly retracting.

"Come out for me."

With a low shout, Yeming exerted all his strength and pulled out the crowbar.

The long, pale arms gripped the end of his throat, and wisps of mist-white vapor wrapped around the crowbar.

One person and one ghost, in the shape of a tug-of-war.

"It's useless for you to hide in." Ye Ming gritted his teeth and said, "This body doesn't belong to you, a high-voltage electric shock can eject you out of your body, don't make a useless struggle." ”

The phantom's face was blurred, and he couldn't see what it looked like, and his voice trembled and roared like swallowing charcoal: "No, no, I want to live." ”

"You're so unreasonable, they all say that this body is not yours, you have to live to find your own body."

"I—I can't find it, my body is gone, it's gone..."

The phantom wailed in a low voice, the lower half of the phantom body was like a hemp rope, tightly wrapped around the man in overalls who had been stunned, and the upper half of the phantom writhed in pain. His body, which was not very stable, shook like a wave.

"My body... It's them, they threw me into the oil pan, my body is gone, it's gone, ah! ”

The phantom trembled violently, and the mist-white light gradually turned crimson.

Yeming felt the crowbar in his hand, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. He reflexively tugged at the crowbar, thrashing forward with all the strength of his feet.

The crowbar tore open the throat of the phantom, and the phantom began to swell rapidly like the elf in Aladdin's magic lamp.

A hot wind blew in the face, and the street trees next to it were blown and trembled, and the air instantly became thinner.

In a small area with a crimson phantom as the core, it seems to form a microwave-like high-temperature place.

The temperature continues to rise.

The PVC gloves on Ye Ming's hands immediately showed signs of being scalded, and the exposed eyes and a small patch of skin on his forehead also felt a hot burning pain.

【Talent: Purification】

With the night light as the center, within a one-meter radius invisible to the naked eye, ripples are spreading.

[Active Special Effect: Purification Talent is released, any creature within a radius of one meter from the player's center can remove mental control, hallucination stun and other mental damage, as well as attack damage against brain nerves, and inflict an ability weakening effect on the UFO. 】

"Beep..."

The phantom's rapidly expanding form seemed to be restrained by an invisible rope. Then, a crackling sound similar to that of water entering hot oil sounded one after another.

Just as the phantom's body was restrained by the [Purification] effect, Luminous picked up the crowbar and quickly turned around, stabbing into the position of the phantom's head.

Immediately afterward, Luminous leaped up on the spot and did a somersault, splitting his skull in half.

I don't know if it was the effect of purification, or something else, but the crimson phantom quickly changed form.

In the blink of an eye, a body that seemed to have been overly fried, with no skin, and muscle tissue contracted and nearly carbonized, appeared in front of Yeming's eyes.

It looks like the chicken cutlet, which is drier than two dollars, has not yet been chewed.

"Let go, let go, me."

Ye Ming pressed the crowbar and said in surprise: "It turns out that there are really fried ghosts." ”

The hot gas erupted from the cracked skull and snorted like a blowhole.

The 'fried ghost' can't break through the purification ripples with both hands, but he can still do it by turning.

With a scalp-tingling 'creak', the area below his skull turned 180 degrees in a twisted position.

"What's the point, it's just that it scares people? I recommend you take a look at The Exorcist, that... Forget it, I'll admit it's still you're a little more disgusting. ”

Lumin glanced in the direction of the window in the emergency hall to make sure no one was startled by the scene.

I don't know if it's only visible to anyone who is on this quest, or if anyone can see it.

As an estimate, there is still a minute and a half left in the purification time.

"Are you scared that instead of taking revenge, you poison innocent people after possession? It's really a shame to be a ghost to do this. ”

As he spoke, Yeming freed his left hand and equipped the [Voice of the Siren].

"What do you know, what do you know." The fried ghost struggled and roared:

"They smashed my head and thought I was dead, but I didn't, I, no, I was.

Do you know how hot a frying pan is?

I wanted to scream, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the oil poured in... Yes... Do you know what that tastes like..."

"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing. Stop struggling and tell me, your name. ”

[Consumable: Voice of the Siren]

[Special Effect: The specified target (the spirit value is lower than the user) is tempted by the siren's beautiful voice and thus acts as instructed]

[Duration: 1 minute/time]

[Number of uses: 1/3]

The fried ghost, who was still writhing wildly a second ago, instantly froze, cracked the mouth like a black hole on most of his skull, and replied one by one: "Zhang Pingjiang." ”

Yeming pulled out a crowbar, thought for a moment, and asked, "Who is the person who killed you?" Where is it? ”

"Li Qiu'e, Zhang Caiyun, Zhang Caifang. They are in Zhangjiabang, Hexing City. ”

"Why poison people?"

"The souls that have been poisoned are the most confused, and if I eat them, I will be able to live forever."

Yeming's eyes were empty, and he picked up a crowbar and pried out a brick from the side of the street tree flower bed, and engraved the words 'Zhang Pingjiang' on it.

The fried ghost, bewildered by the sound of the siren, flew up and down his body with crimson lumps that resembled charred flesh.

But this is not a physical object, but more like a burning red paper, burned into ashes in mid-air, and turned into nothingness in an instant.

[Hint: Destroy the Possessed XCOM, completed]

"The wicked deceive the good, and the powerful ghost eats the weak. What a wonderful world! ”
