Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast Verse 43: Invitation
"White Phosphorus Arrow!"
Zhang Su was out of his body, and with a wave of his hand, he released the seventh-order soul skill of the White Phosphorus Arrow, and the twelve arrows glowing with white phosphorescent light were arranged into a rectangular matrix, and flew towards a blue light monster with a hook on his back and a skinny chest in front of him.
The blue light monster figure curled its upper body, clasped its knees with both hands, and shrunk into a ball like a hedgehog, rolling and spinning quickly on the ground like a wheel, using its high-speed rotating body bullet to shoot a few white phosphorus arrows at him, and then impacted at Zhang Su's soul, and drew a circle of sharp blades in the air with his back hook, splitting the void soul dust, which looked extremely sharp, and the soul was destroyed when it was touched.
"White phosphorus arrows can't pierce a ghast? The strength of this ghast soul should be no less than that of a low-level ghost, and the low-level ghost is equivalent to the level of a junior soul king, fortunately, the soul power has just been advanced to a junior soul king two days ago, otherwise it will really take some effort to deal with this high-level ghost spirit. ”
Seeing the blue light strange shadow attacking, Zhang Wei didn't panic, he muttered in his mouth, his eyes aimed at the blue light blade ring that was rushing towards him, and the majestic soul power of the junior soul king gushed out, constantly gathering towards the twelve white phosphorus arrows.
The soul hand was raised, the five fingers turned into claws, and Zhang Su made a grasping posture at the Qingguang Blade Ring that rushed towards him, and when the Qingguang Blade Ring was still about two or three zhang away from him, Zhang Su's five fingers suddenly grasped, and twelve white phosphorus arrows swooped down and stabbed at the Qingguang Blade Ring that was still rolling.
However, before the arrow landed on the blue light monster shadow, the white light on the arrow suddenly became extremely bright, and the arrow was deformed, turning into twelve pointed spears that suddenly pierced the blue light monster shadow directly from twelve directions, and the blue light monster image was fixed in front of Zhang Su like a specimen, and the blade ring stopped rotating, at this time, the hook thorn on the back of the ghast blue light monster shadow was facing Zhang Su's eyebrows, only an inch away from the center of the eyebrows.
"I'm going to kill you!"
The blue light monster roared and struggled, trying to break free from the shackles of the twelve spears, trying to pierce Zhang Su with his backstab, but no matter how the blue light monster struggled, he still couldn't break free from Zhang Su's spear confinement.
"Sure enough, it used some kind of soul technique that can strengthen the surface of the soul, no wonder the white phosphorus arrows are helpless, fortunately, there is the assistance of the 'Ten Soul Transformation' to pierce the ghast, interesting, you can study it with the stele soul, I don't know if it is a principle with the spirit of life."
Seeing the Qingguang Strange Shadow roaring and cursing, Zhang Su turned a deaf ear, stretched out his hand to the Qingguang Strange Shadow that was close at hand, and used the Tablet Soul Tuo to rub the only soul technique of the Qingguang Strange Shadow, and then put the Qingguang Strange Shadow into the new Dark Stone Cup, and then lifted the two soul skills of the White Phosphorus Arrow and the Ten Soul Transformation at the same time.
"Boss Xue, your problem has been solved, and the settlement company will send someone to hand over to you, so I'll leave first."
Zhang Su said to a person who looked like a boss next to him.
Zhang Su received a high-level ghast bounty from the Qicheng branch of the soul hunting company, which was to hunt down the high-level ghast that appeared in the office building where Zhang Su is currently located, it is said that there have been several strange supernatural phenomena in the Internet company on the twenty-third floor of this office building, a month ago, a programmer suddenly went crazy and smashed many of the company's computer hosts, and then opened the window, ready to jump down on the twenty-third floor, fortunately, the company everyone arrived in time and pulled the programmer who was about to jump off the building, However, when the boss handed over the programmer to the police for forensic evaluation, he came to the conclusion that the programmer was not abnormal in the slightest, and it was most likely caused by excessive stress, but the programmer couldn't remember his madness as if he had lost his memory.
If only this time, this Xue boss will not ask for help from the soul hunting company, the second incident occurred half a month ago in the early morning, when the Internet company just entered a new day of operation, the company suddenly had a comprehensive power outage, because a lot of product data has not yet come and saved, the power outage caused a lot of losses to the company, the boss and maintenance workers went to check the power outage problem, and it was found that it was not a problem with the line, nor was it a trip caused by voltage overload. In the end, it was found that the plug on the main terminal panel was pulled out from the socket row, Boss Xue thought that someone was playing a prank at first, and went to the monitoring room to call up the monitoring at that time, and a strange scene happened, the plug actually slowly rose from the socket bar in a second before the power outage, and was inexplicably disconnected from the socket, and finally fell next to the socket, when all this happened, there was no one around.
Boss Xue was originally a person who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but after seeing this strange scene, Boss Xue broke out in a cold sweat and was stunned, and finally decided to find a fairy master to help exorcise ghosts and drive away the ghost who was making trouble in his company.
At the beginning, Boss Xue found a lot of wild goddesses, Taoist priests, and feng shui masters, but every time he cast a spell to exorcise ghosts, the company's supernatural phenomena were actually more, first the company's employees were collectively listless fugue, and then there were three or four times when employees went crazy.
After several twists and turns, Boss Xue finally found the soul hunting company through introduction, Fan Zengming hung the reward of the matter in the company's bounty column after doing an intelligence investigation, and priced it according to the highest level of high-level ghasts, and the bounty was 100 yuan, because this office building was relatively close to his rental house, Zhang Su took it and came to this Internet company that morning.
"Little brother, no, master, you just stood there for a while and then solved it? It stands to reason that exorcism is not the practice of opening an altar? Or stick a talisman or something, or take a peachwood sword and slash around, can you just stand still and drive away ghosts? ”
Boss Xue saw that Zhang Su was just standing in his own empty company for a while, and then said that the problem was solved, and he couldn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Su covered his head helplessly, he was not too irritable about catching ghosts and catching souls, but when he met a customer who couldn't see the soul to explain the matter of catching souls and exorcising ghosts, he was a little big, this is not a matter of explanation, no matter how the two people see the different worlds, they can't convince each other no matter how they explain it, and they won't easily dispel each other's doubts, but Zhang Su still has to explain, lest the other party really treat him as a liar who cheats and abducts.
"Well, Boss Xue, if you can exorcise ghosts as you said, you won't come to our company to offer a reward, will you? I heard that you have also spent tens of thousands of dollars on a lot of jumping clowns, even if our company is fake, the quotation of 100 yuan will not cause you much loss, I belong to the soul hunting company, and I live on the bounty, if your matter is not solved, the company will not send me money, and then the person who comes to settle with you will also check my work, so I don't need to lie to you. Zhang Su explained.
Boss Xue is a smart person, seeing that Zhang Su is confident, he believes it a little, but he is still suspicious in his heart, and his face is still depressed, and he doesn't continue to ask Zhang Su any questions, Boss Xue also knows that the world of ghosts should be counted as another world, and only special people like Zhang Su can see it, he is just an ordinary person, and some things are not something he can understand at all.
Zhang Su doesn't plan to explain too much, his task is to work and get a bounty, explaining that it is the company's business, it is Fan Zengming's business, there is no need to waste time on this, he received three bounties a day, and after running this bounty, there are two bounties waiting for him, and then hunt a few primordial souls on the road, and earn three or four hundred a day, and after a month, counting the basic salary of the soul hunting company and the rent paid by Pu Zitong to rent her boyfriend, there are also fourteen or five thousand, this kind of salary level is enough to nourish in Qicheng, Because of this, Zhang Su also ran several real estate agents, ready to investigate the recent changes in housing prices and find a cheaper real estate for a house of his own.
"Okay, I will personally stay in the company for two days, if there is no more supernatural phenomenon, I will resume the operation of the company and start work again, I wonder if you can leave me a copy of your contact information, master?" Boss Xue finally relieved the breath in his heart and asked Zhang Su.
"There's no need, you don't need to call me master, just call me Xiao Zhang, I belong to the Soul Hunting Company, you can ask the Soul Hunting Company for the information you need, I don't take personal work, you can continue to negotiate with the Soul Hunting Company if you have other questions."
Zhang Su saw what Boss Xue meant, and replied, it's not that Zhang Su doesn't want to take private work to save the price difference, but it's completely unnecessary, the company has a clear soul master protection mechanism, there will be an intelligence investigation done by Fan Zengming before the reward notice is posted, there is Yan Lao to determine the danger level, and the two brothers Yang Jialei and Yang Jiashuo of the emergency department are ready to help, as long as the soul master will not blindly overestimate his own strength, he can minimize the danger of catching souls and catching ghosts, which is completely different from a person taking private work.
"Okay then, anyway, thank you Master Zhang for this trip." People like Boss Xue should be unusual, and he was not angry when he was rejected, and he still thanked politely.
Zhang Su waved his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to be so polite.
The sun is out, hey, the world is wide, hey......
Just when Zhang Su finished his work, the mobile phone rang, Zhang Su took out the mobile phone from his pocket, the caller ID was Lu Sen, Zhang Su since the official entry, the closest to them is Hu Xi and Lu Sen, Hu Xi and Zhang Su are not much different in age, the two have more common words, and it is not difficult to speak, and Lu Sen is more like Zhang Su's big brother and guide, Zhang Su became a soul master and Lu Sen has a lot to do with it, Lu Sen seems to be rough, but he has a good heart, when Zhang Su returned to Qicheng Branch after training, The first few soul hunting rewards were personally guided and raised by Lu Sen, and Zhang Su now has the ability to complete the reward independently, so as soon as he saw Lu Sen's call, Zhang Su immediately picked it up.
"Hey, Brother Lucson." Zhang Su said enthusiastically through the phone screen.
"Yes, how many jobs did you take today? How many orders have you completed? Lu Sen asked, still in a rough and slightly hoarse voice.
"Picked up three, didn't this just finish running one, what's wrong?" Zhang Su replied truthfully.
"Hu Xi just told me that there is a new list with a reward of six hundred, it is a low-level imp, not strong, but very cunning, I think it needs a helper to contain it to ensure that it is caught, so I want to ask if you are free." Lucerne explained.
"No problem, when will it start?" Zhang Wei replied briskly.
"At eight o'clock in the evening, in a private house, when the time comes, the two of us will go to the company to receive the bounty first, and then go over together, and the bounty will be five or five cents." Lucerne arranged.
"Okay, no problem, I estimate that I will be able to finish today's list before two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and I will arrive at the company on time in the evening, and besides, big brother, you have contributed a lot, and if you are a partner, you should take the liunty head, just give me a hundred, I have earned enough today, and everything I take is considered earned." Zhang Su first agreed, and then suggested.
"Don't fight with me about this, it's not a matter of work, since we need to complete it together, then it's indispensable, no one is more important, it should be divided equally, since you agreed, let's see you in the evening." Fan Zengming retorted, and then hung up the phone.
"Brother Lusenge is still so stubborn, okay, just take a few opportunities to invite him to dinner." Zhang Su said to himself while laughing.
Out of the door of the office building where the Internet company is located, Zhang Su rode his electric car, and as soon as he stepped into the traffic with the gas pedal, he was no different from ordinary people.
The day has just entered spring, the temperature slowly returned to zero, the cold of the winter is like a wisp of smoke and green silk diving in the gentle and charming sun, purified by the beam of the sun goddess, warm, and finally dissipated under the clear sun, some of the cold is still naughty, unwilling to throw into the arms of the sun goddess, quietly drilled into the collar and cuffs of passers-by, the slightest coolness makes the people who are ready to accept the spring Pudu shiver slightly, the body heat suddenly increases, and the naughty cold melts into the cold clothes that have not been completely taken off. The chill is gone.
There are some springs in Qicheng, winter has not yet frozen, spring comes more lively, the spring is constantly bubbling with huge blisters, as the source of living water is constantly injected into the city river extending in all directions, so that the water in the small river is flowing rapidly, the green velvet reed grass in the water is swaying back and forth, and finally falls in one direction, at this time, Zhang Su is driving quickly in the direction of the reed grass deflection, heading towards a restaurant in the south of the city.
It has been three months since Zhang Su left the Heavenly Soul Castle, and after coming out of the Heavenly Soul Castle, he entered the Qicheng Branch of the Soul Hunting Company as a soul master.
The newcomer battle in Heavenly Soul Castle made Zhang Su a little limelight, plus Zhang Su captured a few high-level ghasts alone as soon as he returned to the Qicheng branch, and he also had some fame in the company, although this does not mean how powerful Zhang Su is, but it also represents Zhang Su's extraordinary performance at the beginning of the soul master, there are many soul masters of the same level as Zhang Su have invited Zhang Su to form a team to hunt the ghosts above the ghast and the ghost level, but they were all politely rejected by Zhang Su, first, Zhang Su is guarding against people's hearts and ghost schemes at any time, and he is unwilling to unite with people casually before knowing the roots; The second is that Zhang Su also knows that his strength is not enough, and he does not plan to go to those ghost-level revenants to adventure, usually just capture some first souls and receive some ghost rewards, only when Lu Sen invites him, he will go with him, after all, Lu Sen is his savior and can be trusted.
Zhang Su has cultivated a lot of soul skills from the Heavenly Soul Pavilion during this time, which makes Zhang Su more flexible when hunting souls, coupled with the clue exploration of the Soul Extension Technique of the Tablet Soul Enhancement Technique, Zhang Su has already figured out a set of his own soul hunting methods, the ability to capture souls is constantly improving, and Zhang Su has also made some small money, but Zhang Su does not have a particularly ambitious goal, just enough to live.
Compared with Zhang Su, Pu Zitong and Zhang Su joined the Qicheng branch at the same time, but they rarely participated in the soul hunting, and as soon as they returned to Qicheng, they hid in the rental house to concentrate on cultivation, and often changed the rental location, in order to avoid those who were following her, but Pu Zitong also occasionally dated Zhang Su, and occasionally appeared with Zhang Su pretending to be a couple to hide people's eyes, three months, Pu Zitong was already an intermediate soul king, and now Pu Zitong has a good chance of winning if he meets a powerful soul master like Gu Yueming, Pu Zitong is growing according to his goals.
After riding an electric car for about half an hour, Zhang Su finally arrived at the restaurant in the southern suburbs of the city, talked with the boss, and looked for traces of ghasts in the restaurant that had closed its doors.
Zhang Su used the Soul Monument Soul Extension Technique to perceive the soul of the ghast, and after a while, he found the place where the ghast was, Zhang Su walked to the back kitchen of the restaurant, and in a corner, a short figure was revealed, and the figure glowed with the blue light of the soul, like a dwarf.
The dwarf figure has a human head, a bull-like back armor on its back, and three pairs of long arms on both sides of its body, similar to human arms, but the difference is that each arm has two joints that can be bent, and it shakes like six three-hucked sticks flying in the air, which looks quite weird.
Zhang Su knew in his heart that the ghost who was not in human form was obviously not the first soul, combined with the information description on the bounty order, this should be the ghast on the bounty, the company called it the six-handed ghost, the intermediate ghost, the bounty was eighty yuan, it is said to have the ability to create plagues, this restaurant was forced to close down because of the inexplicable food poisoning of customers many times, which is also the reason why the six-handed dragon was rewarded.
Zhang Su looked at the six-handed dwarf in front of him, his soul power is indeed not low, and it can also be regarded as superior among intermediate ghasts, which is equivalent to the soul power of the middle-level great soul master among soul masters, but if he wants to say that his ability is a plague, he really didn't see it, he only saw it hiding in the corner of the back kitchen like a child, looking at himself timidly.
"Did you voluntarily dissipate your soul power? Or do you want me to do it? ”
Zhang Su had already released his soul out of his body, burst out the strong soul power of the junior soul king, and used his soul power to condense twelve white phosphorus arrows in the air, surrounding the six-handed dwarf ghast in the middle from all directions, and asked.
"You're bullying me too, I'm going to make you unpalatable!"
The six-handed dwarf ghast made a child-like sound at Zhang Su, and then, six hands like three-knuckle sticks waved at the same time, and their arms turned into six thorny poison ivy, which wrapped around Zhang Su in the blink of an eye, as if to tie Zhang Su.
"Soul power poison ivy? It turns out that the root of the plague is here. Zhang Su saw the poison ivy of the six-handed dwarf and suddenly realized.
Zhang Su controlled his soul and kept dodging, and when he saw that the poison ivy was entangled, he released the white phosphorus arrow with his backhand to attack, how to say that the white phosphorus arrow was also a seventh-order soul skill, coupled with the soul power of Zhang Su's primary soul king, after three or five strokes, the six-handed dwarf was completely seriously injured.
Zhang Su's body took out the Dark Stone Cup in his pocket, and with a wave of his hand, he put the seriously injured ghast into the Dark Stone Cup, and in only five minutes, Zhang Su was solving this intermediate evil spirit, which was much easier than the high-level evil ghost he had encountered in the Internet company before.
The next bounty was in the cinema in the west of the city, Zhang Su simply said goodbye to the restaurant owner, rode the electric car again, and ran to the location of the third bounty task.
