Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast Verse 45: Little Ghosts
"Your bounty list is complete?"
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Sen arrived at the company on time, and Zhang Su came to the company early and handed over the souls captured during the day and exchanged them for banknotes for rice and noodles.
"It's done, I earned two hundred and eight, but I was almost killed by Fan Zengming, and I almost met a low-level ghost in the third order." Zhang Su nodded and complained.
"Yes, low-level imps can handle it, it seems that your strength as a junior soul king is not fake, I will be more confident when I look for you." Lu Sen smiled and admired.
"Don't, Brother Lusen, don't say that, you just put your expectations of me to the minimum, and then let's talk about this partnership, if you think it's okay, then my confidence will be a little bigger." Zhang Su stuck out his tongue and said.
"Well, did you see that bounty message I sent you? That low-level imp is in a residential building, but I don't know where it is, you have a unique soul-seeking technique, you just need you to determine its location, and calculate its escape route, so that the two of us can fight back and forth, in order to have a greater chance of capture. Luxon said.
"I know Brother Lusen, but I heard that the little ghost has two or three soul skills, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, if it has any special soul skills, we will still fall short." Zhang Zhen pondered.
"Once I find out its location, I will use the Soul Locking Array to create an enchantment space as soon as possible, and then consolidate it with the ground-carrying array, as long as it is trapped, we will join forces to attack it back and forth, and strive to achieve a quick result before the formation fails, and I will disarm the formation after you take it away." Lucerne made arrangements in advance.
"Well, that's a good idea." Zhang Su felt that Lu Sen's arrangement was almost leaky, and he couldn't help but admire.
"Brother Lu Sen, Brother Zhang, have you both arrived?" Just as Zhang Su and Lu Sen were arranging tactics, a familiar voice came from behind Zhang Su.
"Brother Hu Xi, you haven't gone home to rest so late?" Zhang Su turned his head and found the source of the sound, in the corridor on the first floor of the company, a figure slowly emerged from the dim light, it was Hu Xi, the secretary of the Qicheng branch, and he was also one of the people with the best relationship with Zhang Su in the company, second only to Lu Sen.
"What's the rest, the company is my home, I love my home." Hu Xi is still smiling nonsense.
", I remember that after Ding Lin's kid came back, your shift was as usual, and today it's your turn to be on the night shift." Lu Sen glanced at Hu Xi and said.
"Oh, can Brother Lu Senge not always demolish me, you see that Zhang Su is so talented that he actually reveals three or four bounties every day to mess around, I also want to behave hard-working in front of Zhang Su and be a good example of hard work in front of Zhang Su, this time let you pick it up, and the pants are all gone." Hu Xi puffed out his cheeks and complained.
"Okay, okay, I know your good intentions, by the way, the bounty of the Shengshi community is still there, right? It's the low-level imp who was offered a reward of 600 yuan, and Zhang Su and I are going to meet it. Lu Sen asked.
"Yes, no one has come to pick it up yet, wouldn't this order be stable if the two of you shoot together." Hu Xi said with a smile.
"Okay, then Zhang Su and I will take it now, Hu Xi, have you brought the soul appointment?" Lu Sen asked Hu Xidao.
"Brought it." Hu Xi replied, and then took out a piece of white paper with a blue light from his back pocket, and slowly unfolded it, inside was a standard contract written with soul power fluctuations, most of the contract was about the text of cooperative soul hunting, only the name, time and bounty were divided into three parts that were vacant and needed to be filled in on the spot.
Lu Sen didn't say a word, condensed his soul power and gathered it at his fingertips, filled in his name on the contract, wrote down the time at the moment, and filled in the words fifty-five points in the bounty division column.
"I'll go, fifty-fifty points, Zhang thinks you're gone, you can earn three hundred yuan in a while, which is more than the ghast bounty you earned by running for half a day." Hu Xi couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Lu Sen was filling in fifty-fifty points.
"I just said that I ......," Zhang Wei smiled wryly and wanted to explain.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's not too early, hurry up and get to work after signing it." Seeing that Zhang Su was about to say something, Lu Sen directly interrupted Zhang Su and urged.
Seeing that Lu Sen didn't plan to dwell on this issue, Zhang Wei could only sign his name on the contract with a wry smile.
"Tomorrow, no matter who hands over the captured soul to the company's soul refining furnace, the company's soul hunting book will leave a record, and you can go to the finance at any time to withdraw the income, I don't need to repeat this." Hu Xi once again reminded him according to the content of the contract.
"Got it." Zhang Su and Lu Sen answered in unison according to the regulations.
After Zhang Su and Lu Sen finished answering, the contract suddenly flashed with a dazzling blue light, and then turned into a cyan paper crane and flew to a room in the depths of the corridor, which was the place where the soul refining furnace was placed.
"Alright, let's go." Seeing the paper crane flying away, Lu Sen nodded and said.
Zhang Su said goodbye to Hu Xi, followed behind Lu Sen, walked on the path in front of the company, walked under the dim night sky, and disappeared after a while.
"I knew I was here on a bike, and this place is really not close to the company." When they arrived outside the Shengshi Community, Zhang Su was so tired that he was panting, the Shengshi Community was not far from Zhang Su's rental house, but it was not close to the dilapidated factory area where the Soul Hunting Company was located, and the two of them walked for nearly an hour to arrive.
"I heard that you worked very hard when you were a newcomer, why did you get lazy when you returned to work in the company, and without that girl named Pu Zitong urging you, you wouldn't be able to get started, right?" Lu Sen looked at Zhang Su calmly and teased with a smile.
"I'll go, Brother Lusen, when did you gossip like this, I just don't want to waste my physical strength needlessly." Zhang Su explained.
"There is no loss of soul power, just work, although I don't know what method you use, but from the door, carefully investigate the location of that low-level imp, it is said that the imp wanders around in this community without an accurate location, you should be able to find out from the door." Luxon Road.
Zhang Su nodded, the stele soul extension opened, and stroked the brick and tile, grass and tree in the community with his hand, and soon found some traces of soul power, these traces are not obvious, and some are even about to completely dissipate, it must be difficult for ordinary soul masters to find anything from it, but Zhang Su relied on the powerful spiritual sense and the delicate soul power control technique of the stele soul tuo, and within a few clicks, he locked a general range according to the strength and weakness of the residual soul power and the characteristics of the soul power, that is, the range of activities that low-level ghosts may have, And informed Lucerne of this range, who was waiting.
"It's supposed to be in this building." Zhang Su pointed to a building in front of him and said.
"Building Ten? Can it be more specific? Do you know what layer it is? Lusen asked.
"If my judgment is correct, it should be underground, there are two floors underground, but if I probe down again, it will inevitably startle the snake, Brother Lusen, can your soul locking array cover the two underground floors?" Zhang Su judged for a moment, and then asked.
"It should be possible, but the soul power consumed is a little more, and you will have to exert more strength when the Trapped Beast Fight is in a while." Lu Sen nodded and said, his soul was out of his body, he stood in front of Building 10 and released his soul power in the basement, and then he didn't know what soul technique he used, and the soul power did regular actions, and finally wrapped the two floors of the basement, forming a boxy soul power enchantment.
"No problem." Zhang Su nodded in response, seeing Lu Sen make a move, he also released his soul out of his body, and the soul passed through Lu Sen's enchantment and dived into the basement of Building 10, constantly searching for the soul of a low-level ghost.
"Boom, what a strong soul breath, just like that spirit, let me taste it, taste it." Just as Zhang Su's soul dived into the basement on the lowest floor, a sharp voice sounded from behind Zhang Su's soul, and the sound of sucking and smacking his tongue came into Zhang Su's ears, which sounded so harsh.
Zhang Su was shocked, and quickly turned around, and saw a huge monster behind him, although the monster was huge, it did not look strong, but it was skinny, ribs turned out, and it looked like a giant skeleton, but unlike skeletons, this huge monster had no bones, just a soul composed of a revenant.
However, the strangeness of this revenant is not only in its shape, its appearance is also terrifying, with a peach-like face, two eyes that grow on the brow bone, one hangs out of the eye socket and hangs on the side of the mouth, the nose is obliquely long, the left nostril is turned in front of the left, the right nostril collapses to the center of the face, only revealing the small eyes of mosquitoes, the mouth is even more terrifying, two sharp fangs, one left and one right, seem to be pierced from the two cheeks, and one upper incisor pierces the lower jaw, which is also stretched outward, from a distance, The ghost seemed to have a three-pointed T-bone nail in its mouth, and the only thing that puzzled was how his pierced tongue was talking.
"Imp?" Zhang Su sensed the soul power of this terrifying-looking revenant, and immediately felt a huge reverberation of soul power, and it was obvious that this revenant soul was the prey of him and Lu Sen.
"Imp? How dare you call me a little ghost? The smell of your wine seems to be heavy, I'll drive it away for you! Seeing Zhang Su calling him a little ghost, this terrifying-looking little ghost was actually a little angry, and his soul power suddenly emanated, and he attacked Zhang Su directly, and the way of attack was very peculiar, it was the rapid growth of the ribs that turned out, and the twenty-four ribs turned into twenty-four bone spurs and shot out at Zhang Su, whose power was not much weaker than the white phosphorus arrow released when Zhang Su's soul power was fully open, but faster.
Zhang Su didn't expect this little ghost to attack without warning, and its attack speed was so fast that Zhang Su had never seen it in his soul hunting career, thinking that it was too late to escape, Zhang Su released all his soul power, and prepared to urge the Sanqing Phosphorus Arrow Array to resist with all his strength.
"Soul Locking Hand, Thousand-Armed Guanyin!"
Just when Zhang Su was about to resist the attack from the little ghost with all his might, Lu Sen also entered the soul locking array enchantment arranged by himself, and released his soul skill Soul Locking Hand's Dacheng form Thousand Hands Guanyin, which instantly blocked in front of Zhang Su, and the twenty-four soul hands that were conjured up grabbed the twenty-four bone spurs that shot at Zhang Su, protecting Zhang Su behind him.
"Brother Lusen, have you finished reinforcing the enchantment with a ground-borne array?" Seeing that Lu Sen followed so quickly, Zhang asked puzzled.
"No, it's too late, it has already discovered us since I arranged the enchantment, and it has secretly released soul element particles in my enchantment range, the particles have the effect of intoxication, they should have penetrated into your soul, it's not that it has caught our way, but we have already caught his way, the reason why he didn't escape from my enchantment is that he wanted to use the enchantment we set up to induce us into his soul element range, so that after we are unconsciously intoxicated, we will become his bag." Lucson explained.
"Soul particles?" Zhang asked puzzled, he hadn't heard of this word yet.
"Similar to the special soul power produced by some soul masters after cultivating special exercises, just the release of soul power will affect other people's souls or spiritual sense, and the special substance emitted by this special soul power is called soul element, I heard that there is a referee in your rookie during the war is 'Tianrui Messenger' Zheng Pu, and his soul power has a special soul element that can act on spiritual consciousness." Lucson explained.
"I see, so what do we do now?" Zhang Su nodded, as if he understood, and then asked.
"Escape from the enchantment, that is, escape from the coverage of its soul element, and then use soul power to expel the soul element that invades the body, so that the soul can return to normal." Lucson explained.
"Isn't that enchantment a waste?" Zhang said regretfully.
"There's no way, I can only do this, self-protection comes first when hunting souls." Lu Sen also had some regret in his tone, but decisively decided.
Now that it has been decided, Zhang Su and Lu Sen are not ambiguous, Zhang Su released the soul technique of the birth spirit to strengthen his legs and feet, and his legs kicked violently in the air, directly bounced out of the basement on the tenth floor of the Shengshi Community, leaving the range of the little ghost to release the soul element, according to Lu Sen's instructions, he used his soul power to force out the soul element that secretly invaded the soul, to ensure that his soul no longer had any residual intoxicating soul element, and Zhang Su was relieved.
After Zhang Su left the enchantment, Lu Sen crushed the twenty-four soul bone spurs of the twenty-four imps at once, and then jumped out of the soul locking array arranged by himself, brewing the soul power in his body, and driving out some of the intoxicated soul elements in his soul, ensuring the cleanliness and sobriety of his soul.
"Brother Lusen, what's next?" Zhang Su and Lu Sen both came out of the Soul Locking Array enchantment, Zhang Su asked.
"After that little ghost spends soul power to break through my soul lock array, we first distance itself from it to avoid being attacked by its soul element again, and then use long-range soul skills to attack it, his soul power is not strong, and if the two of them cooperate, they should be able to seriously injure him, but low-level ghosts generally have two soul skills, and when they shoot, we must always pay attention to its soul skills that have not been used, so as to avoid being secretly attacked by them." Lu Sen reminded.
Zhang Su nodded, he had already released the Three Green Phosphorus Arrow Array, and even the soul ring of the Heavenly Purity Bracelet had been released, just waiting for the moment when the little ghost broke out of the formation, so that he could do his best to give him a fatal blow.
Lu Sen did not show weakness, and the soul power of the powerful high-level soul king was completely released, and dozens of soul hands were condensed in the air using the thousand-handed Guanyin form of the soul locking hand soul technique, and the soul hands had palms and fists, all around the enchantment, ready to attack the imps who broke out of the formation at any time.
"It's now!" At the moment when the Soul Locking Array was destroyed by the imp from the array, Lu Sen shouted, and dozens of soul hands aimed at the imp, constantly launching attacks, without the slightest intention of relaxing.
Zhang Su was no exception, the moment he heard Lu Sen's instructions, Zhang Su's twelve white phosphorus arrows with the blessing of the Three Clear Array Talismans launched a strangulation attack around the terrifying-looking imp like a wild bee, and the Tianjing Bracelet Soul Ring also secretly rose from the feet of the little ghost, and suddenly covered the body of the little ghost, constantly shrinking and tightening, and releasing the cold qi of the Tiannan Han Toad from the soul ring, so as to reduce the soul power of the little ghost.
The combined attack of Zhang Su and Lu Sen was obviously extremely powerful, and after only a few minutes, the little ghost in the center was shattered by the powerful fire of the two, and the ghost turned into a stump and floated in the air, as if it had lost its vitality.
Zhang Su and Lu Sen saw that the little ghost had been crushed, so they stopped attacking at the same time, Zhang Su looked at the little ghost's severed limb with a little joy, and said in his mouth: "Brother Lu Sen, it seems to have succeeded, I feel that this little ghost is not very difficult to deal with." ”
Lu Sen heard Zhang Su's words, looked at the little ghost that had been broken into a few pieces, and just wanted to nod in agreement, but suddenly exclaimed: "No, it ran away, Zhang Su, you quickly find out its location." ”
"Ran away?" Zhang Su first repeated a sentence in confusion, and then turned on the soul power perception, but did not find the soul core of the little ghost in the stump and broken body floating in the air, Zhang Su touched those stump parts with the stele soul tuo, only to understand that the little ghost abandoned a layer of soul skin outside himself, retained most of the soul power, and then turned into a firefly-sized appearance and quietly flew away from under the noses of Zhang Su and Lu Sen.
As Zhang Su continued to perceive deeply, finally, Zhang Su determined the direction of the ghost's escape, still pointed to the basement of Building 10 in the Shengshi Community, and said softly to Lu Sen: "It did run, but it thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place, so it ran back to this basement and hid." ”
"Where's the direction?" Lu Sen asked.
"Facing the entrance of Building 10, at two o'clock on the right-hand side, take five steps forward, dive three meters two, and it's in the corner of that storage room." Zhang said.
Lu Sen nodded, and his soul burrowed into the basement on the tenth floor again, and after a while, he returned to the ground with a point of light emitting cyan fluorescent light in his hand.
The cyan point of light once again transformed into an ugly-looking imp, struggling in Lu Sen's hand, and at the same time making a voice begging for mercy: "Lord overturned ghost, the little one is not filial, and he can't collect enough souls to celebrate your birthday." ”
"Dumper?" Lu Sen repeated, and then asked the little ghost as if he had thought of something, "Do you say that the ghost who turned over the car was injured by a group of soul masters some time ago, and looked like a bamboo pole?" ”
"Yes, yes, are you also a subordinate of Lord Dumper?" The imp suddenly became excited when he heard Lu Sen's description.
"Where's the dumpster now?" Lu Sen continued.
"Fengcheng Forest Valley." The imp replied with a smile.
After the little ghost answered, Lu Sen motioned for Zhang Su to take out the dark stone cup, and then gave it away, and as soon as Zhang Su raised his hand to take it, he put the little ghost into Zhang Su's dark stone cup and sealed it.
Lu Sen turned his face to look at Zhang Su, and whispered to Zhang Su: "Do you want to pick up a pie?" ”
