Chapter Eighty-Three: The Difference Between a Wandering Spirit and a Ghost
Lin Sisi was a little stunned by his question, but he still thought about it and replied: "I'm good at painting landscapes, this painting is the scene where I went to Fat Lake with my parents to play, I remember that I didn't focus on face description when I painted, and it was still mainly landscape......"
She said that she seemed to think of something here, her face couldn't help but change, her big eyes looked at the direction where Zhang Xiaoman was looking blankly, and her face showed a trace of panic.
"Is there anything wrong with this, this painting?"
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes showed a look of "sure enough", took a few steps back to Lin Sisi's side, and whispered: "The people in the painting are looking at us......"
Lin Sisi suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, she looked around a little helplessly, but there was no trace of focus in her eyes.
"Why, how can this be...... I only drew the back......"
Zhang Xiaoman said softly: "It's okay, everything is with me, it can't turn up any storms." ”
He could almost confirm the situation here by now, because when he was at the bedside, he faintly felt a trace of energy fluctuation coming from the painting, presumably the monster was hiding in it at the moment.
After listening to Zhang Xiaoman's words, the expression on Lin Sisi's face became even more panicked, and she couldn't help but ask anxiously: "You, what do you want to do?" If there really are monsters...... Let's report it quickly! ”
Zhang Xiaoman looked at her and smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I'm a professional, have you forgotten my previous nickname?" I'm a true master. ”
When he saw Lin Sisi's confused expression, he couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but considering the current situation, he still said in a serious tone: "Okay, leave the monster in this painting to me, you go and wait for my good news outside the door." ”
After Zhang Xiaoman finished speaking, he pulled her and walked out of the room with her.
Lin Sisi followed him out a little dazed, and when he heard the sound of the door closing again, he touched it again.
However, just as she touched the doorknob with both hands, she suddenly stopped moving.
Although she didn't know if what Zhang Xiaoman said just now was true or not, she was still a little worried after all. If this is true, then he just broke into it so rashly, which may affect Zhang Xiaoman's next "spell casting". After all, judging from the plots in those movies, many things that were easy to succeed were complicated because of this.
However, Zhang Xiaoman will not be disturbed by her, and the reason why he did this is completely out of the latter's safety considerations, after all, the monster in the painting, he doesn't know what it is, if he can't win it with one blow later, he is afraid that Lin Sisi will receive unnecessary impact.
Focusing on the painting, Zhang Xiaoman slowly raised his left hand, he did not rush over, but stood in place and directly activated the skill.
Soul Sucking!
As the first streamer in the room lit up, a terrible howl of pain suddenly sounded in the family portrait at the head of the bed, and Zhang Xiaoman saw that in the middle of the flow, a green light cluster spirit body was sucked out.
It kept screaming and tried to escape back into the painting, but it couldn't resist the power of the sucking spell, and the light on its body became more and more dim.
Then, the monster slowly disappeared in the cocoon of the energy airflow, and finally only turned into a translucent circular ball suspended in the air.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaoman smiled happily, he thought it would take some trouble, but he didn't expect that the battle would be solved so easily, which surprised him.
He stepped forward and looked at the small bead, which was similar to the sphere formed by the parasite after its death, except that it did not fall, but was directly suspended in the air.
Zhang Xiaoman spread out his palm to absorb it, and the prompt sound of the system immediately came to his mind.
"Ding, absorb the essence of the spirit, and increase your points by 3 points."
Looking at his point balance, the corners of Zhang Xiaoman's mouth rose slightly. Although this monster only provides 3 points, it is relatively weak, and it is almost effortless to destroy. And now that I have more than 10 points again, I can already upgrade again.
But now is not the time for random upgrades, Zhang Xiaoman held up the somewhat crooked family photo, and when he looked at it again, the faces of the three people inside were gone, and the picture was fixed on the scene where they sat on the grass by the river, bowing their heads and eating lunch.
"This girl ......"
Looking at the harmonious and happy family of three in the picture, Zhang Xiaoman's heart suddenly felt a little sympathetic to her, God seemed to be extremely unfair to this girl.
Turning and walking out of the room, outside, the girl was waiting anxiously at the door.
Feeling that the door was suddenly opened, Lin Sisi first stepped back slightly, and then asked, "Zhang Xiaoman...... Is that you? ”
Zhang Xiaoman responded: "It's me, that monster has been destroyed by me, it's okay now." Uh, are you alright? ”
Lin Sisi shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just that the sound just now made me a little dizzy, but now it's much better......"
She stopped her movements, and then looked in Zhang Xiaoman's direction with an expression of amazement mixed with curiosity, and said, "That one just now, is it really a ghost?" How can there be such a thing in the world......"
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and corrected: "To be precise, it's Youling." ”
"Ah...... This, what's the difference? Lin Sisi looked puzzled.
"Of course, there is a difference, the former is a ghost in folklore, which is transformed by a person after death. The latter, on the other hand, is a unique life form composed of energy bodies. Zhang Xiaoman explained casually, but what he said was not made up, but his own speculation.
"There are no ghosts and gods in this world, but these strange creatures are real, they come from another realm, and the methods are also strange, which is difficult to prevent."
Lin Sisi's face also showed curiosity: "Then, are you specifically hunting them?" ”
Zhang Xiaoman nodded subconsciously, and then remembered that this girl couldn't see, so he said: "That's right, we are hunters walking in reality, and these monsters are our target...... Well, but this matter is not suitable for circulation, I still hope you can help me keep it secret. ”
Lin Sisi immediately nodded: "Well, don't worry, I won't say it!" ”
Zhang Xiaoman walked a few steps to a table in the living room, picked up the water that the other party had poured for himself when he just entered the door, looked at the surrounding layout again, his eyes stayed in a certain position, and said casually: "It turns out that you are studying art, no wonder this sculpture is so realistic, is it also carved by you before?" ”
Lin Sisi was stunned when he heard this, and said with a blank face: "What sculpture?" ”
Zhang Xiaoman didn't care about her tone, walked straight towards the sculpture, and said: "It's this statue in the corner of your living room, I was a little strange when I first saw it, and then I learned that you were an art student, no wonder......"
Who knew that at this time, Lin Sisi suddenly said: "But...... I only studied painting, not sculpture......"
She paused, then continued, "And my family ...... There has never been a statue......"
