Chapter 25: Sudden Variables
I don't know how long I sat in the gazebo, and when it was completely dark, Watson deliberately looked up at the clock dial on the building in the distance, and determined that it was 6 o'clock in the evening, which should not have been dark so much on a summer night, but since 20 minutes ago, a large number of dark clouds have appeared in the sky, thundershowers are not uncommon in this season, but it happens to be this evening...... This made him feel a little uneasy in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I hope it doesn't rain while I'm doing something, otherwise I'll be embarrassed even if it's done......"
Things have been prepared to this point, and it is unrealistic to say that it is necessary to suspend and wait for a sunny day to do it, after all, Winston University is quite famous, and this kind of thing will always damage the reputation of the school if it drags on for a long time, otherwise they will not pay a high price to entrust the Demon Hunting Guild, and in the plan, although the rain will increase the difficulty a little, but it is still acceptable.
As the clouds grew thicker and thicker, the air became dull and damp, and a dull thunder began to sound in the sky, dark purple lightning flashed in the dark night, and the street lamps in the garden became the only source of light.
Before leaving, Harvin mentioned that for the sake of convenience, there have been a lot of high-powered searchlights around the place where the corpses are placed, just in case of emergency, but Watson chose the time to act at night, just for the ghosts, only acting in the dimly lit night, if these searchlights were turned on, the ghosts would basically not appear.
Holding the dumplings, he walked slowly to the tree where the corpse was placed, signaled it to the side, waited to the flower bed to watch, called to himself if something happened, and then picked up the torches and igniters that had been placed here in advance in order to prevent heavy rain that could fall at any time, so the plan had to be advanced, and Watson was ready to start burning the corpse now.
"Lord Watson, I'm here, are you ready to begin?"
Harvin's voice came from afar, and as the director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he still suppressed the uneasiness in his heart in this situation, and rushed to the back garden after dealing with some things.
Watson didn't answer, silently lit a torch and approached the platform made of firewood, his eyes staring at the corpse covered by the white cloth and reaching out to throw the torch, the ghost has a perverted attachment to the body before it fully generates its own consciousness, and will never sit back and watch it be destroyed.
Sure enough, at the moment when the torch was about to touch the firewood, an invisible force froze the torch in the air, and the next second, the flame that was still burning on it was forcibly extinguished, leaving only a trace of white smoke rising out.
This was not the end of the story, the extinguished torches flew backwards towards Watson at a faster speed, and of course it would not let go of the enemy ghosts who wanted to burn their corpses, and the heavy searchlights that had been placed next to them were now its weapons, and it was controlled to rush towards Watson.
"Nice mind control. ”
There was no panicked look on his face, this situation Watson had already considered, and at the moment when a large amount of debris was about to hit him, a large amount of dark energy appeared, inhibiting the movement of these things, and firmly confined them in place.
The collision of the two forces caused these debris in the middle to quickly begin to shatter and disintegrate, but if you look closely, these things seem to be stationary, but in fact they are still moving slowly, which shows that the ghost is indeed stronger than Watson in terms of mental power control.
This is also a very helpless thing, after all, the ghost itself is composed of soul energy, and his ability is not based on spiritual power, although the dark energy control gives him this ability, but it is still too reluctant to compare the amount of spiritual power and the means of control with the pure soul body.
But combat is never about one side, is it?
Raising his right hand to aim at the pyre, Watson's mouth squirmed slightly, and the fiery red circle appeared in the dark night, if you want to cause substantial damage to the ghost, you must force out its body, since the torch can be easily extinguished, then Watson naturally has stronger means!
Hand of Flame!
The giant hand burning with flames emerged from the circle in the next moment, and quickly grabbed the corpse covered by the white cloth, Watson could feel that the spiritual power that was fighting against him instantly stagnated and dissipated, and those objects that had lost their impetus all fell to the ground without exception, but the flames around the flame giant hand not far away began to distort, and it was obvious that there was a spiritual force that wanted to disperse it, but as one of the most destructive spells in the low-level fire method, if the flame hand could be extinguished casually, it would not deserve this title.
At the same time as being distorted by the external spiritual power, the flame hand not only did not extinguish but expanded more and more and burst at the moment when it was close to the firewood, this time even the strong spiritual power of the ghost was also affected by the impact of this sudden explosion, and it actually became loose, and the flames rushed into the firewood pile at this time, and the fire rose to the sky!
Meow!
The scream of dumplings at his side made Watson tense, and his hands reached into the pockets outside his trench coat, holding the glass bottle of holy water inside, waiting secretly.
With a piercing soul scream, the ghost that watched his carefully guarded body gradually burn out in the flames finally stopped hiding itself, and slowly emerged from under the tree where its body had been buried.
Not much different from what the previous two students had described, female, ragged cloak, without any weapons in their hands, but their original vague faces were now clearly visible!
"My ...... Body ......"
An obscure voice with resentment came from the ghost's open and closed mouth, making Watson's face gloomy.
"Have you reached the point where you can speak...... Looks like I've absorbed a lot of souls! If I give you some more time, I'm afraid you'll be able to develop a complete sense of self, but then it will be tricky. ”
Realizing that the ghost's strength might be stronger than he expected and that it was still evolving in a worse direction, Watson didn't plan to drag it out now, and his hands in the pockets of his trench coat were quickly taken out, and two bottles of holy water were thrown towards the location of the ghost.
The ability is mainly in the psychic control of the ghost, unsurprisingly fixed the two bottles in mid-air and tried to break them directly, and this also fell into Watson's arms.
Two bright knife lights flashed, Watson held two long knives in his hand and slashed through the glass bottle, part of the holy water in the bottle fell asleep, and part of the knife surface was left behind by the powerful impact force to form a water curtain and flew towards the ghost, and the change that appeared in an instant made it a little difficult for the ghost whose consciousness had not yet fully appeared, but the subconscious spiritual power once again fixed those splashing holy water, and in the face of the flying Watson, he could only choose to retreat.
The blade slashed through the ghost's body, and Watson could feel a clear sense of sluggishness, not because the ghost produced an entity, but because its body itself was composed of soul energy, which instinctively resisted when subjected to external impacts, but it was obviously not very effective, and the twin knives with holy water easily sliced through the ghost's body, making the scene behind it clearly visible.
The current situation is probably the current situation, but Watson clearly knows that it is far from enough to eliminate the ghost, and it is not enough to do this, as I said before, the ghost is composed of soul energy, that is to say, the ghost looks like a humanoid to outsiders, but when it is really fighting, it does not have any Achilles' heel, if you want to kill it, you must exhaust the soul energy it can use, so that its core soul is difficult to mobilize external force, and finally become a soul crystal, and destroying its limbs is the best way!
The body that had been cut in half healed quickly, and Watson could notice that the ghost's body was thinner and lighter in color than before.
Twin Blades: Wind Slashing!
The moment he fell to the ground, Watson's feet kicked violently and twisted his waist to swing the knife again, and the powerful force made the pebble road under his feet crack, but this blow did not achieve the last effect, and the prepared ghost directly manipulated a large amount of mental power to impact Watson, and there seemed to be a lot of weight on his body, so that he had to bear a lot of pressure on every movement.
As a result, Chopping Wind could not exert its original speed and power, so Watson had no choice but to give up.
As soon as the ghost saw Watson put away his knife, he immediately floated backwards, wanting to distance himself from him to facilitate the exertion of his mental power, but of course Watson understood what he understood, but the large amount of spiritual power suppressed on his body made his steps indeed a little heavy, and compared with the floating ghost, he was quickly pulled away by a distance.
After chasing a few steps, seeing the ghost drifting farther and farther, Watson plunged the long knife straight into the ground with his right hand, then reached into the windbreaker, took out the ambition of the loaded bullets, and quickly fired a few shots at the ghost, the special bullet filled with holy water inside burst instantly at the moment it touched the ghost's body, and the holy water in it was sprinkled on the ghost's body.
Needless to say, the damage of the light attribute holy water to the dark monster is not much to say, plus the ghost itself has a fairly strong immunity to physical attacks, but in the face of energy impact, it will naturally suffer more damage than normal monsters, and the violent collision of dark energy and light energy makes the ghost's footsteps have to stop, and he begins to mobilize his soul power to suppress the light attribute energy that is rampaging in its body.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Watson mobilized the dark energy to disperse the spiritual power on his side, retracted the two long knives into the scabbard at his waist, and then took out special bullets from his waist bag with his left hand to load, and his right hand moved non-stop, while quickly approaching the ghost, all the bullets were poured out in a short period of time, although several bullets missed due to the impact of running, but there were still more than a dozen bullets hitting the ghost's body, and the impact of the energy collision for a while made the ghost continue to twist its body in place.
Now is the time!
After emptying all the bullets, Watson put his ambition back into his waist, lifted the double knife and moved forward again, the effect of the holy water had not yet dissipated, and the blades of the double knives still emitted a faint light, but just a few steps away from the ghost, a man in a student uniform was manipulated by a screaming ghost to drag out of the bushes and grass next to him and throw it at Watson who was rushing forward!
Without hesitation, Watson didn't care how this person appeared here and was discovered by the ghost, he only knew that if this great opportunity was lost, then the person just now would be the best tonic for the ghost!
But there were times when things were so frustrating, and he kicked one person and kept going, and Watson soon found that another person had been dragged out of the previous place by the ghost in the same way and thrown at him, causing him to stop once again!
"So you've been prepared!!"
Watson's face was completely gloomy, and although he didn't know why these students were here, he was sure that the situation would definitely take a turn for the worse.
Thundered!!
Torrential rain poured down......
