Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast by Mistake Section 122: Twinkle Star Imp

"Stealth? I remember you used this move when you were a rookie in the Heavenly Soul Castle. Pu Zitong came back from his fright, looked at Zhang Su, and recalled.

"That's right, so you remember." Zhang Su walked between Pu Zitong and He Lu and responded with a smile.

"Stealth? How did you do that? He Lu was really startled when he saw Zhang Su suddenly appear, and asked in surprise.

"A kind of soul technique, it's inconvenient for me to say the specifics, and it's not an exaggeration not to say the exclusive means." Zhang Su replied with a smile, in fact, Zhang Su didn't want He Lu and the others to know about the Colored Scale Arm Guard, it was too eye-catching to compare this ability, and he casually pushed the source of the ability to the soul skill.

"Well, it's not an exaggeration, every soul master won't show his housekeeping methods to others at will, but what do you mean by showing this soul skill? What do you want to illustrate? He Lu didn't get angry after listening to Zhang Su's reply, but seemed to be expected, and then asked puzzled.

"It's very simple, the shining star imp that the Guan family offered a bounty used this similar method to deceive the Guan family and your search, otherwise it would not be possible to escape easily." Zhang said.

"You're saying it didn't run away in flashes, but ran away stealth, right?" He Lu asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, that's what it means, let's take a look at this matter, before we saw that in the video provided by the Guan family in the bounty view, the shining star imp seemed to flicker and disappeared, and then the people of the Guan family couldn't find the trace of the shining star imp no matter how they searched, and they also used the soul dragonfly to collect the traces of soul power around here, but they didn't find any trace of the shining star imp, obviously they lost the shining star imp, right?" Zhang Su said.

"That's right." He Lu nodded after hearing this, and what Zhang Su said was exactly the content of the video played in the bounty grand view.

"Although Guan Meng led by the Guan family is a junior soul ancestor, it is not him who really carries out the tracking and search task, but the Guan family junior who released the soul dragonfly, he is the soul exploration master in the team, and the means he uses is to use the soul dragonfly to conduct real-time monitoring and collect remnant souls for trace exploration, but when the little ghost disappeared, it disappeared in a flash, and there was not much trace of soul power left on the escape line, so the young general of the Guan family thought that the little ghost used some kind of space jumping soul technique to escape, right?" Zhang Su continued to explain.

"That's right, the kid in the Guan family who uses soul dragonflies is called Caring Qi, a soul master who specializes in exploration soul skills, I have been in contact with him, and that's how he judged." He Lu nodded and replied.

"Sister Lu, your exploration methods are stronger than his, so when you came to investigate, you traced an extremely small and shallow remnant of soul power here to the back of the warehouse area, there, Sister Lu, you found another remnant of soul power, judging from the attributes of soul power, it is indeed the soul power of the shining star imp, so you confirm that it is the second foothold of the shining star imp, right?" Zhang Su asked.

"That's right, judging from the direction in which it flickered and disappeared and the traces of soul power, it should be it

Where the flashes reappear. He Lu nodded, indicating that Zhang Su's judgment was correct.

"So Sister Lu followed the windmill-shaped soul marks left there back and forth, at least two times without turning out of that pattern, and finally rubbed on the gray paint, and did not find any traces of soul power extending outward from that pattern, so she thought that the little ghost might have some other means so it disappeared, right?" Zhang Su continued to ask.

"That's right, but what are you trying to prove by saying all this? I'm getting more and more confused, have you found the secret that it left without leaving a trace in that windmill pattern? He Lu asked puzzled.

"That's not it, there are indeed no other remnant soul traces extending outward on the windmill-like soul traces, there is no doubt about this, but if my guess is correct, the windmill soul mark is just an ordinary attack soul skill, not the escape method of the shining star imp, the real escape method of the shining star imp is soul power hiding and soul invisibility, that is to say, from the beginning, the shining star ghost did not leave from the encirclement of the Guan family, but just flickered and then hid the soul, It was just that a few people in the Guan family couldn't perceive it. Zhang Su finally explained.

"Didn't leave the Guan family's encirclement? How did the remnant of the windmill that far behind this warehouse remain? He Lu's face was slightly shocked when he heard this, and he asked after thinking for a moment.

"It's very simple, just release a long-distance soul skill in that direction, and the shining star imp released a one-of-a-kind attack soul skill in the distance at the moment of disappearing invisibility, and the soul skill crossed in the air, leaving only a slight soul trace, and then the soul skill exploded at the limit distance, forming the so-called windmill trace, that is, the trace you saw, Sister Lu, in fact, the little ghost didn't leave here at all." Zhang Su explained.

"Are you saying that it deliberately released an attack soul technique to create an illusion behind the warehouse area, and then hid its soul and soul power in place, making people mistakenly think that it had flickered and fled, is this necessary? The people of the Guan family didn't notice the trace of the windmill it left behind, didn't it do it too much? He Lu asked puzzled.

"It's not an extra move, but a very confident and shrewd move." Zhang said.

"How?" He Lu asked.

"First of all, self-confidence, that shining star imp will only take the risk of choosing stealth in the crowd rounding up if he is very confident in his stealth soul skills." Zhang Su explained.

"What about shrewdness?" He Lu continued to ask.

"If the soul master who rounded it up has a strong means of detection, like Sister Lu, then its smoke screen attack will lead people to the windmill trail at the back of the warehouse area, if the soul master who rounded it up can't track the relatively subtle traces of soul power like that Guan family general, then it will not be able to find its stealth, he can hide his soul power to a very subtle extent, and then find an opportunity to escape from the crowd." Zhang said.

"You mean to say that the attack it unleashed was to test the team that rounded it up

The level of exploration of that probing soul master in the ranks? He Lu was shocked.

"That's right, that's what it means, that's why I say it's shrewd, because that Guan family's young general has limited detection ability, so the shining star imp secretly escaped from the crowd after stealth, if Sister Lu was present at the time, that shining star imp would have fled after Sister Lu chased the trail behind the warehouse area, so his method is a way to get the best of both worlds." Zhang Su nodded in affirmation.

"Oh, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word, just say it, do you already know how the shining star ghost escaped? Can you find the location of the Twinkle Star Imp based on its tracks? Pu Zitong heard Zhang Su and He Lu analyzing each other one by one, and asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, Zitong, I think your little boyfriend should already know how to track down that shining star ghost." He Lu glanced at Zhang Su and said with a good taste, with a clear look in his eyes, as if he knew how to find the shining star ghost.

"I think Sister Lu should also know this method, let's explain it to Sister Lu, Sister Lu is the leader of our team, and the soul hunting work will be commanded by Sister Lu in the future." Zhang Su smiled, and did not say the method, but sold He Lu a face.

"Yo, you villain, I'm afraid that I won't be able to show my face and sell my personal favors, okay, I admit that you are very powerful, you should talk about this method, and the command and deployment will be arranged by me after that, after all, I am older than you, and I am crawling and fighting in the soul world, and I have a little experience with you, a newcomer who is a halfway monk, how about this?" He Lu responded with a smile.

"Okay, then it's decided, in fact, the way to track down the Shining Star imp is very simple, that is, to go back the same way." Hearing He Lu's suggestion, Zhang Su felt that it was very feasible and explained with a smile.

"Go back the way you came?" Pu Zitong asked puzzled.

"Well, the Shining Star Imp must have escaped from the encirclement of the Guan family after stealing here, when it found that the traces left by the smoke screen attack released by it did not attract the attention of the detective soul master named Caring Qi, it had some bottom on the soul master's detection ability in his heart, so he chose to leave quietly after stealth, of course, this path to leave is to be chosen carefully, I said before that the actions of the Shining Star Imp after stealth will still leave very slight traces of soul power, Therefore, it is definitely impossible for it to escape from a place where there has never been a trace of soul power in front of so many people, so it is easy to expose its body, so there is only one path he chooses. Zhang Su explained.

"I know, it wants to use the traces of soul power it left behind to cover the traces of soul power that it will leave again when it escapes, so it can only return the same way, just like the footprints left by a person when he stepped on his own when he walked backwards, that is to say, it fell back along the route that was pursued by the Guan family all the way before, so right?" Pu Zitong thought for a while and explained.

"That's right, after this, as long as it can escape the Guan family's round-up and avoid the Guan family's pursuit, then it can no longer retreat along the original route

It is possible to break away from a certain node of the original route, we only need to investigate along the route it escaped from here, and find the node branch that it broke away from the original route, and we can track the trace of the shining star imp again along the soul imprint left on the branch line, although I don't know how far this trace extends, as long as it is still in Qi City, it should be able to find out. Zhang Su added.

"You are so talented, this can be analyzed by you, even if you don't want to be a soul master and be a detective, you can live a good life." Pu Zitong said with a smile.

"How can there be, I'm also inspired by Sister Lu and the fritter imp I met before, because Sister Lu said that the windmill pattern she found was a dead knot, so I thought of the fact that the soul power of the fritter imp was dissipated after a short distance flicker, so I guessed that if the shining star imp really used the space flicker soul skill, he didn't need to waste a few soul power to leave a maze array without an exit, which obviously showed that the escape soul skill of the shining star imp was not the same as the fritter ghost, so I thought of all the stealth soul skills I hadI felt that if it was my stealth soul skill, I might be able to set up such a game, and when I went to the pattern left near the back wall of the warehouse area to conduct a field survey, I confirmed my idea. Zhang Su explained.

"Awesome, let's follow the line you said, I'm not sure if there's a branch like that." Pu Zitong suggested.

Zhang Su nodded, mobilized the soul power in his body and opened the Tablet Soul Tuo, touched the remnants of the soul power of the shining star imp with his hand, and followed the mark of the remnants to explore the route of the shining star imp.

Seeing that Zhang Su began to act, He Lu was naturally not to be outdone, the soul eye suddenly changed color, emitting an orange-red light, where the light shone, no matter how small the soul power imprint was revealed, just like the banknote watermark was irradiated by ultraviolet rays, after a while, He Lu found the soul power imprint of the shining star imp on the route when the shining star imp came, and retreated in the opposite direction of the warehouse area along the imprint with Zhang Su.

"What kind of soul technique is this?" Zhang Su asked in surprise when he saw that the light emitted by He Lu's eyes was like ultraviolet rays that could make the soul power imprint visible.

"Haha, it's amazing, this is called the soul light eye, it is a secret family skill of the He family where my sister Lu'er is located, it is specially used to search for all kinds of dead souls and ghosts, and it is a pediatric matter to detect the remnant soul mark." Before He Lu could speak, Pu Zitong replied first.

"I see, it's a family stunt, no wonder." Zhang Su exclaimed.

"Don't listen to Zitong's nonsense, although it is a family stunt, but I am not good at learning, and this soul light eye has only learned a little bit of skin, if some seniors in my family come over, it is estimated that I will soon be able to find the trace of the shining star ghost, unlike me going around in circles in that ecstasy array." He Lu sighed.

"Sister Lu is modest, your soul light eyes are really powerful, if you look carefully, have you noticed that there is an extremely small remnant soul mark covered in this raunchy wide mark mark, if I guess correctly, this should be left after it escaped stealthily

Soul marks coming down. Zhang Su pointed to a very vague soul mark floating in the middle of the soul realm.

"It's true, I didn't notice it before, and sure enough, there is such an extremely small soul mark hidden in it, it seems that it's not that my ability is worse than yours, but that my eyes are not very good, haha." He Lu took a look at the place pointed by Zhang Su, and indeed found that there were two marks, one wide and one narrow, as Zhang Su said, but the narrow mark was enclosed in the wide mark, and it was difficult to find it without careful observation.

"yes, I just happened to be a little more careful, haha." Zhang Su also smiled and eased the atmosphere.

"Zhang Su, look here, the narrow mark began to separate from here, and it extended out in a southwest direction at ninety degrees." Just as Zhang Su's words fell, He Lu suddenly pulled Zhang Su's arm, pulled Zhang Su to his side, and pointed to a small soul scar branch.

"That's right, it's here, it's leaving from here, it's not too far from where it was rounded up, obviously its stealth soul skill consumes too much soul power, so it chooses a way to escape as much as possible after getting out of the detection of the people of the Guan family, for fear that the soul power consumption is too great and there will be other accidents." Zhang Su analyzed.

"Well, it should be like this, from the soul mark mark here, you can see that its soul power consumption is not small, and the soul mark left behind is thin and unreal, which means that it needs to consume a lot of soul power to use the stealth soul skill, now let's look for it in the southwest direction and see where it can run." He Lu nodded and suggested.

"Good!" Zhang Su and Pu Zitong agreed at the same time, and the two followed behind He Lu, looking for the soul mark step by step.

"Over there?" Just as Zhang Su and He Lu lowered their heads and walked forward with the imprint, Pu Zitong suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Su and He Lu heard Pu Zitong's exclamation, and at the same time raised their heads to look at Pu Zitong, and asked puzzledly.

"Zhang Su looks ahead, what do you think is the place ahead?" Pu Zitong still called out in surprise.

"Ahead? Abandoned factory area, I'll go, isn't our soul hunting company over there? This shining star imp won't break into the vicinity of our company, I'm really afraid that someone in our company will take it away. Zhang Su looked at the place pointed by Pu Zitong and couldn't help but exclaim in the same exclamation.

"Well, if he runs in that direction, he will probably die, there are still a few powerful people in your company, I can only pray that the little ghost didn't throw himself into the net, otherwise a few of us will be empty." He Lu also looked in the direction of the Soul Hunting Company, and responded with his thin waist crossed.

"What to do? Do we still want to chase after it? Pu Zitong asked.

"Well, you two are waiting here, I'll look for it along the way, if this trace of soul power really extends to the soul hunting company, I'll go and explore nearby, if this trace of soul power changes line halfway, or I find the hiding place of the shining star imp, I'll inform you to make plans again, how about it?" Zhang Su suggested.

"Okay, let's do it, I don't really want to deal with the Soul Hunting Company, and you should also be careful not to be found out by the Soul Hunting Company that you are privately accepting a bounty outside,

Save the Soul Hunting Company from interrogating and punishing you, remember, don't mention the matter of offering a bounty, otherwise the Soul Hunting Company will not necessarily let you go. He Lu instructed.

Zhang Su knew what He Lu meant, nodded vigorously, and chased along the traces of the soul power of the shining star ghost, all the way to the narrow alley mouth that he had to pass through every time he went to the soul hunting company, and found that the soul power of the shining star ghost disappeared here, followed by the soul power mark of another soul, and the mark continued with the soul power of the shining star ghost, all the way to the soul hunting company, Zhang Su knew, this shining star ghost was obviously accepted by someone in the company, but who received the shining star ghost, Zhang Su didn't know, Because judging from the traces of soul power left by that person, it was a person who Zhang Su didn't know very well.

Just when Zhang Su reluctantly wanted to inform He Lu and Pu Zitong of this result, a person rode a dilapidated bicycle towards the mouth of the alley, and greeted Zhang Su enthusiastically when he saw him: "Zhang Su, I came early today, what are you standing here?" Why don't you go in and receive the bounty? ”

"I ......" Zhang Wei didn't know how to answer for a while, pondered for a while, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The company calls me Da Yaozi, my name is Li Yao, you can call me Brother Da Yao, I don't come to the company much, usually Uncle Jin comes to receive the reward, I and Lu tendon follow the work to share the money, a few days ago I came to Lin Yan's sister to buy some medicine, I didn't bring enough money, today I came over to send money to sign." Since it was Li Yao's person replied.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Yao, I heard Brother Hu Xi talk about you, but I haven't met, I'm glad to meet." Zhang Su said politely.

"Haha, it's the first time I've seen you, the reason why I recognize you is because I saw your photo in the company's punishment column last time, I deeply regret what happened to Lu Sen, the escape of the overturned ghost was caused by our mistake, I didn't expect to hurt you and Lu Sen." Li Yao said sadly.

"How can you say that, forget it, don't mention it, I chased the soul power of an unknown little ghost here, and as a result, its soul power traces were interrupted here, so I'm struggling." Zhang Su explained.

"Today's bounty?" Li Yao asked.

"No, a few days ago, it's not a bounty, what I accidentally discovered was a high-level ghost." Zhang Su replied.

"Hey, I caught one when I came to get the medicine a few days ago, and I haven't handed it in my dark stone cup yet, you can see if it's this one." Li Yao thought for a while and replied, then got out of the car and took out his dark stone cup and handed it to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Su sensed some of the only ghost souls in Li Yao's stone cup, and found that it was the shining star ghost he was tracking, and nodded in surprise: "Yes, that's it!" ”

"Oh, how much is the little ghost, so be it, then I'll sell it to you for five hundred dollars." Seeing that Zhang Su had finished confirming, Li Yao suddenly showed a treacherous smile and made an offer.
