36. Ghouls
"Did they find someone to replace me?"
"I knew that they had weakened my body with electric shocks before, and they must have found someone to replace me. ”
An unfamiliar ethereal voice sounded from his heart, and Zhang Li looked around a little sluggishly, there was nothing around except for the thin power grid.
"I like the look in your eyes, pain, hatred, confusion...... This look tells me that you and I are all the way. ”
At this time, Zhang Li suddenly remembered what the middle-aged yellow hair said before entering the house, there was a ghost in the house, so this is a ghost talking?
"That's right, I'm the ghost, I can hear you, so that's it, don't say anything, let's just talk without them knowing. ”
That's how they communicated.
Then Zhang Li knew that this "ghost" Now she is more than a hundred years old, she used to be a stranger, she is from a certain part of Europe, she is a local well-known psychic, her ability is psychic, whose family has lost something, whose family is missing, as long as she gets the items related to the missing person, she can go out of the body to get a glimpse of the truth, sometimes even the police will look for her to solve the case, but it is precisely because of this ability that she is considered a witch, ostracized and criticized, and can only live alone in the wilderness away from the crowd, until one day, a group of people broke into her home and grabbed her and brought her to this institute。
"I can go out of my body, but I'm still bound by my body, and after a while, my soul will be pulled back into my body, and I can only go out at night because the sun will burn my soul. "That's why she was caught.
The people of the institute were very interested in her, and carried out inhumane research on her for more than half a century, even if her body died, her soul was still imprisoned here.
"They forced me to devour other people's souls, and so I survived, but I know it's coming to an end today because they chose you to be my successor. The ghost's voice was tinged with relief.
"Hehe, they thought that weakening me would allow me to be devoured by you, but they don't know that the battle between souls is not so simple, I have forgotten how many people's souls have been devoured, too many to count, even if I am very weak, I have the confidence to devour you, but I don't want to do this, I am too tired and tired, and the first time I saw you, my intuition told me that you are very different, and it is even possible to fulfill our dream wish, so I want to pass on the soul fighting experience to you, and you will encounter a lot in the future"Food", most of them hate it as much as you and me, and most of them are willing to sacrifice themselves for this, but there will inevitably be some resistance, come, open your hearts, and let me teach you the tricks......"
However, what was instilled in Zhang Li's mind with that skill was infinite hatred.
"From now on you will bear this pain in my place, this is the painful resentment left by everyone who is devoured by me, only by killing all the people in this institute will this resentment disappear, in the future you will always carry this grudge forward, if you can't avenge us, then be as silent as I am, waiting for another successor to pass this grudge to him......"
..................
Devouring other souls and transforming them into his own energy, this is what Zhang Li has to do now.
But it's a pity that there are no other ghosts here, and the experience passed on to him by the witch told him not to easily go to other people's home battles, that is to say, not to easily try to attack the soul of a living person, although if you can kill a living person, that Zhang Li is likely to occupy his body and achieve the purpose of seizing it, but this risk is too great, the body of a living person can contain ghost energy, which means that the living body can stabilize this energy, and absorb this energy from the outside world, which is not possible for ghosts, before the ghost's body is strong enough to a certain extent, the energy will only continue to be lost。
So it's really a stupid thing to fight with a soul that can replenish himself endlessly, Zhang Li's energy at this time can't crush the soul of a living person at all, so in order to survive, he can only find a way to devour some lonely souls and wild ghosts, or simply find the body of a dead corpse to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul.
But there were too few lonely ghosts, and Zhang Li floated in the forest for a long time before he encountered the souls of a few animals, which was not enough to stuff his teeth, so in the end, he could only aim at the corpses of some dead people.
It was already getting warm, and he had to do it as soon as possible, and in the end, he found a wandering half-undead in the forest, his lower body didn't know where to run, only a skeleton of his upper body crawled on the ground, and his body was full of bite marks, which was definitely a dead person who had been resurrected by the jackals.
"I can't do it anymore!" he flew over.
..................
The Scourge Legion's plague has two effects, one is to transform the life force into the power of the necromancy, thus turning a creature into an undead, and the other is to communicate the spirit frequency of the Lich King Naozu, so that he can control these undead.
Azeroth also has many undead that are not made by the Scourge Legion, for example, trolls have a habit of making mummies, and these mummies can also become undead, but Naozu has no control over them.
The half-body skeleton that Zhang Li possessed carried the plague, so at that moment he almost connected with Nao Zu, fortunately he kept this in mind, and in the next second after taking charge of the body, he dispelled the little poor necromantic power in this body, and also dispelled that little bit of plague by the way, and then he converted part of his ghost energy into a little pure necromantic power, so that this weak body no longer belonged to the control of the Lich King.
He doesn't have so much energy to compete with Nao Zu for will, after taking charge of this body, he feels weaker than he has ever been, like a candle in the wind, if Nao Zu finds him, even if he finally fights for the will to win, he can't win the next little soldiers of Nao Zu.
Weakness, this is the only feeling he feels, his energy is used up too much, it is almost difficult to move his nails, he feels extremely hungry, that is not the kind of hunger that a living person can imagine, that kind of hunger only belongs to the dead, only by replenishing his own necromantic power, this hunger can be alleviated.
But he struggled to even move, and the only thing he could do was lie on the ground to save energy, and then suck the life force of the occasional passing insect to survive, or find a passing soul and hurry over to suck it.
He couldn't see any hope at all, if he could only replenish his energy like this, he didn't know how long it would take before he could move freely, but the sky was endless, and Zhang Li felt that he should really thank those gnolls, these gnolls didn't eat all the carrion on his body when they ate, and this little bit of carrion finally attracted some small animals.
A plague beast that seemed to be a half-sized fox smelled the smell of carrion, and it ran over to follow the smell, sniffing east and west beside Zhang Li, and finally confirmed that Zhang Li had the most "food" left in his skull, and it actually took the initiative to poke its head into Zhang Li's jaw.
This is the perfect opportunity to muster the last bit of strength and take a bite of it.
