Chapter 12: The Evolution of the Smile
"It's a pity that I can't beat the ghost king, so I can only sneak attack these little ghosts, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, and it adds up!" Lin Yifan smacked his lips, and a harmless smirk appeared on his face, and he began to look left and right to find the next target.
When Lin Yifan first attacked these little ghosts, he learned the habit of Le Zhenren when he was a killer on earth, and he always showed the most sincere and natural smile on his face.
Le Zhenren relied on his status as a monk and this Maitreya Buddha-like smile to eliminate the vigilance of many Qing soldiers, and repeatedly succeeded in approaching the target to be attacked, until he stabbed the knife into the stomach of the Qing soldiers and was still laughing.
Le Zhenren believes that in order to kill people safely, you must first be friends with the other party, even if it is only for a minute. Never let your enemies become wary and don't let them guess what you really think, or your assassination will not succeed.
Lin Yifan thought that this trick was really great to hide the knife in his smile, and he tried to use this trick many times to approach and attack the little ghost, but in the end he found that the effect was not good, because everyone in hell was in danger and was vigilant, and because almost everyone was injured, the painful torture made the practitioner's expression often distorted, so his sincere smile seemed very abnormal at first glance, and it was difficult to succeed.
Moreover, the ghosts' senses are very keen, even if the hostility in the hearts of the trialists is hidden deeply, they will find out, and become very vigilant, and they will start to summon their companions and cast illusion attacks from afar, and they will not let the trialists get close at all.
In this fantasy world, ghosts and humans are natural enemies, so they will naturally be vigilant in every way.
After many failures, Lin Yifan improved his sincere smile into a smile full of smiles, and learned to completely dissipate his hostility.
Because Lin Yifan found that although ghosts are vigilant against humans in every way, for the kind of trialists whose eyes are blank and dull, who have an idiotic smile on their faces from time to time, who are not hostile when they see ghosts, and who do not know fear and dodge, the ghosts will let down their guard, rush forward without hesitation, and stab the steel knife and iron fork into the body of the trialist.
Because this kind of trialist is basically a person whose soul begins to collapse because he can't bear the torture in hell. Their thoughts began to crack, and their memories began to dissipate, which is why they showed such idiot expressions and smiles.
Fools and madmen on earth may live for a long time, but in hell, such fools, who have lost most of their consciousness, are a tonic without any danger to ghosts. Once they are chopped by the ghosts or thrown into a pan of oil and fried for several days, if they can't stand the pain, their souls often collapse quickly, and eventually turn into a mass of soul origin, which is eaten by the ghosts as a feast.
Only in this case will the ghosts rush up to enjoy the feast alone, rather than summoning their companions to help
As long as you absorb the soul origin of some practitioners, the imps, rakshasas, yakshasas, and Shura have a chance to grow into ghost kings, rakshasa kings, yaksha kings, and Shura kings. So in this safe situation, the ghosts will be happy to have a feast to themselves.
Of course, a strong-willed and sane trialist like Lin Yifan, even if he is tortured by ghosts and dies and resurrects in the illusion, as long as he keeps his original heart, his soul will not collapse and will not turn into the origin of his soul.
So when the ghosts see that the long-term torture is not working, they will give up and go to find the next target.
Moreover, there are rules in Hell Fantasy, and if a practitioner is tortured for a certain amount of time and to a certain extent, he will be freed until he is captured by a ghost again.
Because of this, Lin Yifan has repeatedly broken free from desperate situations, and now he has become a soul hunter.
Eventually, he discovers that if he pretends to be a fool, he becomes bait to attract fish.
Lin Yifan silently observed the trialists who had become stupid, and soon learned their demeanor and movements.
However, it is not enough to just look like a god, although Lin Yifan constantly minimizes the hostility and murderous intent in his heart, the ghosts are still able to keenly detect the problem, so as to increase their vigilance.
Lin Yifan kept adjusting his state, and finally realized the problem one early morning.
He figured it out—if there were no such imps, if they couldn't hunt souls, how could the Quiver improve their strength and raise the level of their thoughts? Who said that the imps were the enemies of the Quirers? No, they were benefactors, or En Ghosts!
From then on, from the bottom of his heart, he no longer regarded ghosts as natural enemies, but as friends.
Who would guard against such a fool? Not even a ghost would guard against him. Because Lin Yifan really didn't have any hostility on his body, he looked at the little ghost with joy, because he knew that the little ghost would soon become his help, his food, and the fertilizer of his soul origin......
The imp is his ghost, his friend.
So five years ago, through continuous attempts and failures, Lin Yifan successfully attracted a lone imp to approach, and then illusion and martial arts came into battle, and finally succeeded in killing the imp, and successfully absorbed the soul origin transformed when the imp disappeared.
After being hungry for so long, he finally had enough to eat once.
When absorbing the first ghost, Lin Yifan felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly figured it out.
After all, hell is a world of ghosts fighting ghosts, souls killing souls, and people eating people!
There is nothing good or bad here, only living and dying!
After that, Lin Yifan continued to expand the results of the battle, killing more and more ghosts, among which the little ghosts and Rakshasas were the mainstays, and occasionally he could kill a small Yaksha, but Shura was not an opponent, not to mention the Ghost King, the Rakshasa King, the Yaksha King, and the Shura King.
In the hellish realm, ghosts like to act in groups, often in groups, wandering around the mountains, but there are always places where there are fewer ghosts, only one or two lonely ghosts, which are most suitable for trialists.
When these ghosts are hunted, they are automatically transformed into Soul Origins, and the Trialist can easily absorb them without having to eat the flesh of the monsters raw, as they did in the Little Illusion.
Moreover, these ghosts are more refined than the monsters they killed during the first trial, and their soul enhancement is more obvious.
In addition, Lin Yifan often fished up the memories of ghosts when they just died, on the one hand, to find inspiration from their cultivation experience and broaden their horizons, and on the other hand, to understand the weaknesses of various ghosts, so that they could attack in a targeted manner.
The benefits of the Soul Hunt to the mind are also obvious.
A few years ago, when Lin Yifan looked at his soul sea, he found that his main thoughts began to change from dark brown to light brown, and the black stripes and spots on it became less and less, which was a manifestation of the purification and improvement of soul quality.
As time passed, Lin Yifan found that some cyan points of light began to appear in his thoughts, and these points of light had a pure and calming feeling.
The idea of the human level is cyan, which shows that he originally had no idea of the rank, and he has a tendency to evolve to the idea of the human level, which can be described as a good situation!
Recently, Lin Yifan's thoughts have completely turned cyan, and he has steadily entered the lower grade of the human rank, as long as he is upgraded by one more grade, he can clear the customs.
This was the greatest comfort that Lin Yifan had received, and he also worked harder to cultivate and kill those ghosts.
Which mountain to sing which song, now Lin Yifan's dream is no longer to become the general manager and marry Bai Fumei, but to hunt more ghosts, get a purer soul source, and let the idea be promoted to the middle grade of the human rank, clear the customs, and then reincarnate and leave this gloomy underworld......
For this goal, Lin Yifan cultivated and hunted souls even harder.
