Chapter 125: The Power of Intelligence
There is another crucial factor in Maude's sighting of Moria as a target.
That is, in order to obtain a good quality shadow, Moria and his subordinates will not kill the invaders.
You know, the huge freezer built deep in the castle still stores a lot of high-quality corpses that lack a suitable shadow.
A high-quality corpse must be paired with a high-quality shadow.
This is the basic attitude of the Zombie Legion program.
Normally, Moria's pirates will judge the quality of an intruder's shadow based on the amount of the bounty.
Intruders with low or no bounties will either be killed outright, or the captured shadows will be stuffed into some weak corpses or even defective products.
But if it's an intruder with a high bounty, everything will be dominated by capturing the shadow.
Under this premise, the Moria Pirates put a shackle on themselves that could not kill the invaders.
This is undoubtedly a restriction that will threaten one's own security, and it is also a risk that the zombie army will inevitably face.
However, Perona, who is able to manipulate negative ghosts to attack her targets, does not need to take such risks.
In fact, she is an indispensable workhorse in the capture of the shadows.
As long as the Negative Ghost successfully penetrates the target's body, the battle to capture the shadow will be over in an instant.
From the beginning of her collaboration with Moria to this day, she has never missed.
Those prey who come to the three-masted ship of terror, strong and weak, will fall to their knees before her negative ghost.
This time, it will be no exception.
Perona took the initiative to appear to attract Lafayette's attention, in order to create an opportunity for the negative ghost to attack.
"Go ahead, my cutie!"
The three negative ghosts, which looked very similar to the Sunny Sky Doll, were controlled by Perona and pounced on Lafayette's back like arrows.
Lafayette's sight and hearing could not perceive the breath of the ghost, but the speed of the ghost was not fast, probably about the same as the speed of the arrow off the string, and he could easily react with the naked eye alone.
Before the Negative Ghost approached, Lafayette moved and easily dodged the Negative Ghost's attack.
At this time, in Lafayette's usual style, he would immediately slash a sword qi towards Perona.
However, instead of continuing to attack Perona after dodging the negative ghost, he quickly glanced at his surroundings, as if he was looking for something.
Perona's combat literacy is obviously not high, and she didn't notice the strange feeling that Lafayette revealed between pulls, and only thought that Lafayette was forced by her negative ghost to fight back.
"Hmph, in this kind of terrain, no one can escape my cutie!"
Perona looked at Lafayette's elegant body, but she was not in a hurry at all.
She was confident that she would catch Lafayette.
In the flicker of thoughts, the negative ghost that floated in mid-air suddenly split into three ways, burrowing into the walls and floors.
Seeing this, Lafayette's eyes moved slightly, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "Do you use the terrain to cover up the movement...... It's tricky indeed. ”
Ghosts do not possess breath or physical form, so they cannot be perceived by sight, hearing, and color.
Based on this premise, taking advantage of the terrain such as walls, floors, and ceilings can make up for the slow speed of negative ghosts, thereby greatly increasing the success rate of negative ghosts hitting targets.
Of course, Lafayette can leave the corridor at any time, thus depriving Perona of her terrain advantage.
It's just that if he leaves directly, it means leaving Jim in a negative state on the spot.
Perona is so confident because of this.
What's more, she is a spirit like a negative ghost in the corridor, free to penetrate all kinds of obstacles such as walls, and will not be harmed in any way.
In this way, as long as the enemy is willing to entangle her, then she is almost invincible.
However, Lafayette attacked only once and then made no follow-up moves, which did not make Perona aware of anything.
Perona stared at Lafayette and crossed her hands.
Under her control, two negative ghosts pierced the floor where Lafayette was and headed straight for the soles of Lafayette's feet.
"The intent is too obvious......"
Lafayette smiled and jumped into the air on her knees.
His position was still some distance from the wall and ceiling, so it was better to attack the soles of his feet from the ground.
"It's not over yet!"
The corners of Perona's mouth curled, and she manipulated a third negative ghost to penetrate through the ceiling and go straight to the top of Lafayette's head.
Lafayette sensed the negative ghost coming from above, and his expression was calm, and his eyes glowed red.
According to the information provided by Maud, he knew that Perona in front of him was also a spirit, and the real body should be in a room in the castle.
The purpose of using the Seeing and Hearing color is to find the exact location of Perona's body as soon as possible.
Lafayette glanced up at the negative ghost flying straight away, and a pair of pure white wings quickly grew behind him, and then flapped twice, causing the stagnant body to fly backwards.
Whew-
The third negative ghost that came through the ceiling swooped down again.
"Damn!"
Seeing that Lafayette had dodged the attack of the negative ghost again, Perona's brow furrowed, and then relaxed.
Anyway, as long as there is that big bear-looking man, Rafayette can be confined here.
It was only a matter of time before Lafayette was caught.
Perona quickly adjusted her mindset and began to prepare for the next attack.
After dodging the ghost attack, Lafayette raised his knife-wielding arm.
Seeing this, Perona thought that Lafayette was going to attack her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Useless......
She thought to herself.
however
In the next second, Lafayette's actions made her smile freeze suddenly.
Rumble!
Lafayette slashed through the wall with two stabs and walked away without looking back.
“???”
Seeing Lafayette leave her companion alone, Perona's eyes widened.
This......
Recalling Lafayette's unrelenting gesture when she left, Perona couldn't help but glance at Jim, who was lying on the ground and was so passive that she seemed to be dying on the spot, and said with pity: "Big bear, your popularity must be very bad." ”
Jim, who was buffed with a negative buff, didn't even have an option to refute it.
What you can do is lie on the ground and sigh that it is not interesting to live in this world.
Until this moment, Perona still did not realize that Lafayette's slightly abnormal behavior was aimed at her own body.
Lafayette has found Perona's body.
From this moment on, this battle, which had no fierce collision to speak of, was over.
As for Jim's safety, he wasn't worried at all.
In order to capture the shadow, the Moria Pirates will definitely not harm Jim's life.
This is the decision that Lafayette made based on [intelligence] and hit Perona to the point.
When confronted with the unreasonable ability of the Ghost Fruit, accurate and important information can greatly reduce its threat.
With the information coming back from what she saw and heard, Lafayette quickly arrived in the room where Perona was.
"Ho Ho ......"
Looking at Perona, who was sitting motionless at the head of the bed, Lafayette smiled coldly.
