"That gray ball of mist? What's the use of that thing? ”

Charlie didn't quite understand, in fact, she didn't understand the high-tech explosive helmet either.

If what Tom said is true, and that the underwear was meant to turn the ghost soldier from a human into a ghost after death, then what is the point of that high-tech explosive helmet's existence?

Isn't it just to make the newborn ghost disappear?

Tom didn't know what Charlie was thinking, he just continued, "That weapon has two functions, one is that, as you saw before, it's a very useful weapon. ”

Tom stretched out his hand, and a handful of gray mist poured out of his palm, and the mist gathered more and more, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a solid ball, which looked exactly like the weapon of the ghost soldier before!

"It has a hardness comparable to that of a diamond in curing mode, but it can also move at will, change its shape at will, and change its shape at will."

As Tom spoke, the ball in his hand changed shape as he had said: a thin card, spinning and standing at his fingertips; In a moment it became a very thin thread of silk that was wound around his body; One moment it turns into a spear, a dagger, another into a whip that is both soft and hard, and even a buzzing chainsaw, which looks powerful.

"As you can see, this is the basic ability of this bead, it can be said that as a melee weapon, it has been achieved to the extreme, and it is an all-purpose weapon that any soldier and killer can dream of, but such a change also comes at a price."

The more Charlie listened, the more she didn't understand, she didn't understand why the bead was controlled by Tom, and she didn't understand the meaning of Tom's words, but she didn't care about this little time, and patiently followed Tom's words and asked, "What price?" ”

"Soul." Tom didn't sell it, and after retracting the bead, he raised his hand and tapped his temple, "What this bead needs is a soul, and it needs to activate its ability by consuming souls." ”

"Huh? Soul? Charlie frowned and asked, puzzled, "You mean this thing is consuming your soul?" ”

"No, no, no, it requires the user to provide the soul." Tom said first, then shook his head, and denied further, "But not mine." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? It needs the user to provide the soul, but not yours? Aren't you a user now? Charlie was puzzled, and then, as if thinking of something, asked in a strange tone, "Do you mean ......?" ”

"That's right, what it needs is for the user to provide the soul, but it doesn't say that it must be provided by this user, this bead originally belonged to the ghost soldier, and he is the real first user, its owner, so what's wrong with him providing consumption?" Tom pointed to his head again, with a somewhat weird smile, "As long as it's activated, anyone can use this thing...... Now you understand why they have such a helmet, right? ”

Charlie naturally understood, and now she also understood the answer to her previous doubtful question, how disgusting it was!

"Why not the souls of other creatures, or the souls of condemned prisoners?" Charlie couldn't help but ask his doubts, or rather, to prove Tom's guess wrong.

But......

"Because this thing is not a simple dead thing......" Tom naturally knew what Charlie meant, but he could only shake his head, spread his palm, and once again show the mist ball that looked like a living thing, "This thing is also a fussy thing, and only those who are approved by it can become its owner and provide energy for it, at least for the first time." ”

"So, those ghost soldiers don't know anything, do they? For example, the consequences of using fog balls, the effects of wearing underwear...... They don't even know that they're not ghost soldiers, they're just ......"

"No, they're ghost soldiers...... Just as another way. Tom suddenly interrupted Charlie's words and said very seriously.

Charlie was stunned for a moment, looked at Tom's serious face, and couldn't help but think of the good friend Tom said before who disappeared after joining the ghost soldier program......

I'm afraid that's what Tom knows now, that's what he told Tom before he "disappeared".

Charlie nodded understandingly, agreeing with Tom's words.

In fact, what Tom said is not wrong, because the so-called as another way can be roughly summarized as "blood sacrifice".

This entire set of ghost soldiers' equipment: stealth tactical suits, high-tech tactical helmets, protective underwear of unknown fibers, and mist weapons is actually an altar used to sacrifice sacrifices to give birth to real ghost soldiers!

……

The most important thing about ghost soldiers is their weapons.

Ghost soldiers wearing stealth suits will inevitably not be able to carry weapons in the usual sense, as neither firearms nor cold weapons are suitable for carrying on them.

The firearm itself is not conducive to the purpose of the ghost soldier's "stealth" due to the huge sound and light effect when used, but at the same time, it is objectively inconvenient to carry the stealth tactical suit, although it also has some pockets, but obviously it can't even fit a normal-sized pistol; And if you can't carry it, you can't be invisible with the ghost soldiers, so it's naturally not easy to carry.

As for the cold weapons, there are some cold weapons that can be put in the pocket, but the cold weapons that can be put in the pocket of the ghost soldier's stealth tactical suit are only the size of a palm at most.

Cold weapons of this size are mostly just some knives, daggers, finger tigers and the like with limited lethality, and if there is no choice, it is better than nothing, at least not to fight the enemy empty-handed, but now the ghost soldiers have a better choice of mist ball weapons.

With a handy weapon that can be changed at will, is widely used, and does not take up space, the Ghost Soldier will inevitably choose the most cost-effective Mist Orb Mist as his regular weapon!

As for the cost of using the Mist Orb Mist, it is estimated that the ghost soldiers may not understand that even if they are told bluntly that the cost of this weapon is their soul and their life, I am afraid they may not understand it.

Moreover, the key to this altar is actually the helmet and underwear: the helmet that can explode and the underwear that can save the soul, and only the existence of these two things is the key to ensuring that the altar can be sacrificed smoothly.

Only through sacrifice can the weapons of true ghost soldiers be born!

It doesn't take Charlie to guess that the utility of these two things has been concealed, or at least misinterpreted, by the really big guys.

Underwear is issued as equipment without explanation, and the placement of explosives inside the helmet is very good to explain the need to ensure stealth and ruin the appearance of soldiers who have failed the mission.

For those elite soldiers, such an explanation is sufficient.

Unlike soldiers in the usual sense, some elite soldiers who carry out special missions have rules of secrecy, and even issue poison before the mission is carried out, so that they can not be captured or captured if the mission fails.

It's more like agents to say they're fighters than to say they're going to be agents, and the elite fighters who were selected for the Ghost Soldier program are all of them.

Therefore, giving such an explanation is not at all afraid of suspicion, whether it is an enemy or one's own people; With the weapons possessed by the ghost soldiers, and the secrecy required, it is indeed worth such secrecy.

And then, whether intentionally or unintentionally, as long as the ghost soldier dies, the sacrifice can be completed, and the real weapon of the ghost soldier is born!

It should be said that as long as the explosive helmet is worn on the head, those big shots can get the activated weapon at any time!

Charlie didn't believe those explosive helmets wouldn't have remote control.

……

"Wait, you said before that these were all for the birth of real ghost soldiers?"

Charlie suddenly thought of Tom's words, but by now, all she had seen was a conspiracy.

"yes, you don't think it's all just for this bead, do you?"

Tom looked at Charlie a little strangely, but he didn't expect Charlie to nod without hesitation.

Tom shook his head and said, "I said, these are all for the birth of real ghost soldiers, and this is not a lie. ”

Tom took out his mist ball again, watched the ball slowly begin to change, and said, "The first death, get this special weapon, but, the second death, you can become a real ghost!" ”

With that, Tom took the ball of mist that had turned into a dagger and plunged it straight into his own eye!
