Chapter 40: Soul Summoning

July 22nd.

The golden sunlight shone through the face, and the dust floated in the beam.

Li Changan, who had slept for four hours, pressed his temples, which were still a little calm, and got up from the floor of the library.

After becoming a spirit master and obtaining the "spiritual" feedback from the "spiritual balance" and the spirit animal, his "soul" continued to grow slowly.

Although the change in physical fitness is not obvious, it has indeed made a lot of progress in Li Changan's mental strength.

Theoretically, he now gets six hours of sleep a day to ensure a good mental state for the day.

It's just that he was too involved in reading books yesterday, and he slept two hours less, which still made his spirit a little sluggish.

But occasionally sleeping a little less, the impact is not great.

"If you become a high-level spirit master, no, even if it's only a fourth- or fifth-order spirit master, won't you have to sleep?"

While rubbing his head, he guessed in his heart.

He looked at the little phantom who was curled up beside him, snoring and shaking his ears a few times from time to time, and smiled gently.

Squint your eyes.

[Name]: Phantom Cat

[Effort]: 30

(Phantom): 9

(Plagiarism):5

(Dancing Claw): 10

(Shadow Escape): 6

[Efficiency]: 93

(Phantom): 25

(Plagiarism): 25

(Dancing Claw): 29

(Shadow Escape): 14

Looking at the information presented in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction.

The training in the past few days has been very effective, and Xiao Fantasy has not only mastered the "Shadow Escape" skill, but also improved the proficiency to the C level that can be used in actual combat, and the proficiency of the rest of the skills has not been improved.

From the change in the value of effort, it can also be seen that it has not been lazy during this time.

Coupled with the strength of the sixth order of the security level now, I don't know how much stronger it is compared to when I just signed a contract with him.

"Meow?"

٩(ˊ〇ˋ*)و

Feeling the sight, Xiao Phantom stretched his waist and woke up.

Seeing Li Changan, he jumped into his arms like a joy and rubbed hard.

"You've really only shed hair twice a year."

Looking at the hair sticking to the black trench coat, Li Changan couldn't cry or laugh.

That is, the trench coat and Xiao Fan's fur are both black, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do with them.

"Meow?" (Huh?) Twice? )

Little Phantom raised his head, his royal blue eyes blinking.

"yes."

Li Changan couldn't help but rub it twice, "The first half and the second half of the year." ”

“......”

...

Simple washing.

Li Changan picked up the little bean that was still sleeping with the word "big" in his heartless lungs, stuffed it into his clothes pocket, and held Xiao Phantom, who was focused on the "fierce battle" with the dried fish, walked out of the library, and went down the stairs.

"The dried fish is almost eaten, but fortunately, yesterday's bonus has come down, otherwise I will have to nibble on steamed buns."

He left all the money at home, just thinking that he should pay a bonus when he came back.

It's just that I don't know how long the seven thousand eight in my pocket can last.

Originally, I wanted to mention the food level to the two little guys, but I guess I had to go back a little bit.

Pat your cheeks and lift your spirits.

"With the busyness of the Tranquility Society, it is estimated that there will be new tasks soon, making money!"

"Meow!" (Earn money!) )

The quiet meeting in the morning was unusually quiet and deserted.

Their appearance has injected some vitality into this cold environment.

All the way down to the morgue.

The light revealed through the crack in the door indicated that there was someone inside.

Granny Gu didn't rest all night?

With such doubts, Li Changan slowly pushed the door open.

The little illusion in his arms also immediately cheered up.

The scene of yesterday's "corpse fraud" is still vivid, and they can't help but be careless.

When the door of the morgue was fully opened, and after seeing the corpse lying quietly on the long metal table, Li Changan and Xiao Huan were slightly relieved.

It's about to leave a psychological shadow.

Granny Gu is indeed still in the morgue.

When she noticed that someone opened the door and turned her head to look at Li Changan, she could even clearly see the red bloodshot in her eyes.

"Mother-in-law, you won't go all night without sleep, will you?" Li Changan asked with a careful tone.

"You're here, just right."

However, Granny Gu did not answer his question, but said something that Li Changan didn't understand all of a sudden.

"You take care of it for me, I'm going to 'summon the soul'."

"Evoke?"

Li Changan was stunned, looked down at Xiao Fan, and he was also confused.

Regardless of whether he understood it or not, Granny Gu closed her eyes, and under the special energy fluctuations, a small ritual formation appeared in front of her.

With a shallow glimmer of light, a spirit beast covered in purple scales, with an inverted triangular head and scales at a seven-inch position, seemed to have a yellow ring on its body, appearing in the formation.

Spirit Beast Summoning!

"Purple Serpent."

Seeing this spirit beast, Li Changan said its name.

Another spirit animal of the ancient mother-in-law?

Meantime.

Li Changan also recalled information about this spirit beast in his mind.

[Name]: Golden Ring Purple Snake

[Attribute]: Chaos

[Race Potential]: Security Grade

[Racial Skills]: Fangs, Toxin Condensation, Soul Summoning, Psychic ......

[Strength]: Unknown

[Introduction]: A spirit animal that inhabits the cemetery all year round, its own physical fitness is not strong, but it contains corpse poison in its body, and it needs to be extremely careful, Note: It is rumored that the golden ring purple snake can see the soul and communicate with the deceased, but the authenticity is debatable.

"Mother-in-law, you want to awaken the soul of this corpse?!"

After recalling the information of the Golden Ring Purple Snake, Li Changan understood what Granny Gu was going to do.

But he really didn't think that he could still operate like this.

"Meow?!" (Soul?) )

Xiao Phantom's expression was also dumbfounded, thinking that the soul was a little fried.

But Granny Gu's expression was very calm.

"Since the quality of a person's soul can be measured by 'division', it proves that the soul is real. It's just that the soul power of an ordinary person is extremely weak, and it will naturally dissipate after a few days of death.

And the soul strength of the spirit master is far beyond that of ordinary people, so the soul dissipation speed will be much slower. ”

After a short pause, she took out some bottles and cans and continued to explain:

"Therefore, if you can use the special power of the spirit beast, plus the assistance of some spiritual materials and rituals, it is not that you can't communicate with the dead 'person' at all."

As she spoke, she squinted at Li Changan.

"You haven't seen a ghost-like spirit beast yet?"

Li Changan nodded a little stiffly.

"You haven't even learned how to use the power of 'souls', have you?"

Looking at him like that, Granny Gu shook her head and took out a piece of tissue paper from the wide clothes that looked like a witch robe.

"Soul vision, the most basic use of the soul master's 'soul', can check a person's 'soul' state. Of course, don't believe what you see too much, some people can't find it if they disguise it. It's the most basic way to use it, and it's very simple. ”

Soul vision?

Li Changan just wanted to say that he had known that he had this ability, and maybe the investigation of the case in the Helong mine would not be so troublesome.

But when he heard it, he swallowed back the words that he spit out into his mouth.

He glanced at the method on the paper, and according to the method described on it, he really mastered it after a little study.

The thought moved slightly, and Li Changan's dark brown eyes glowed with a slight light blue glow.

Meantime.

In his vision, his surroundings changed slightly.

The corpse lying on the long table glowed with a milky white light, and it was slowly escaping.

Li Changan understood that this meant that the soul in the corpse was dissipating.

Then he looked at Granny Gu.

But he saw that her soul was very calm.

immediately reacted, this is probably the disguise that Gu Po said.

However, when Li Changan looked at the Golden Ring Purple Snake, he found something different.

"This ......"

His gaze swept back and forth between the Golden Ring Purple Serpent and Xiao Phantom.

"Yes. Soul Vision' can distinguish the strength of spirit beasts to a certain extent. Granny Gu gave an affirmative answer.

It's no wonder that when Ran Swordfish and the black-robed man fought, the other party showed the strength of the caracal wolf at a glance.

Didn't you say earlier that there was this feature?

But Li Changan soon felt something unusual.

He rubbed his eyes and subconsciously pressed his temples again.

At this time, I noticed that my 'soul' was rapidly depleting.

So fast?!

"Don't use it for too long, especially to check the strength of the spirit beast, that will accelerate the consumption of the 'soul'."

Li Changan hurriedly turned off the "soul vision".

"Okay, I'm going to start the operation, you can help me look at the dots."

What to look at?

Fraudulent corpses?

Before she could ask the exit, the Gu mother-in-law, who had everything ready, had already started to operate.

She looked serious, held a brush stained with an unknown red liquid, and drew a ritual pattern on the corpse that Li Changan couldn't understand.

He whispered to himself:

"Contains 'spiritual' blood, black orchid sap brings a calming effect, and ancient river grass powder increases 'soul' fluctuations......."

Looking at it, Li Changan suddenly thought of what he had seen from the book yesterday.

Before the birth of the ancient languages of mankind, they evolved from a written system that had already been formed.

And that kind of writing, as well as the ancient scripts that have just evolved, have a certain ability to graft 'spirituality'.

Could the ritual pattern drawn by the ancient mother-in-law now be an ancient script?

Didn't give him much time to think.

After the quick drawing was completed, Granny Gu suddenly said: "Golden ring, summon the soul!" ”

"Hiss-"

Between the snake's devotion and swallowing, the "spirituality" belonging to the purple snake began to pry the remaining "soul" of the corpse in turn.

The next second.

Zizizi——

The incandescent lamp hanging from the roof of the corpse suddenly began to flicker, and the flickering light brought the sound of electricity.

"Meow..... Meow? (It's really haunted!) )

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu hurriedly buried his head in Li Changan's arms.

"Squeak?"

Xiao Douding, who felt the movement outside, also got up from Li Changan's pocket at this time.

After seeing the sight of the morgue at this moment.

Eyes rolled.

Directly "slept" again.

Even Li Changan felt the temperature in the morgue plummet.

He had to turn on the "Soul Vision" again.

I saw that the "soul" left on the corpse was dissipating at a faster speed.

Bang!!!

The next moment, the corpse sat up suddenly, opened its eyes, opened its mouth wide, and looked extremely hideous.

"Little Fantasy, get ready." Li Changan's expression was also serious at this moment, and he hurriedly said.

"Meow!"

Although he was scared, he was actually okay, but Xiao Douding was really timid.

But this change came and went quickly.

Bang –

After sitting up straight for a moment, he lay down stiffly.

"Mother-in-law!"

Li Changan hurriedly supported her.

"I'm fine." Granny Gu waved her hand a little weakly, just looking at the Golden Ring Purple Snake.

"Hiss-"

The Golden Ring Purple Snake spits out the snake letter, communicating the information obtained through the "spiritual balance" between it and the ancient mother-in-law.

Granny Gu came to the desk again with the support of Li Changan.

Picked up the pen and "rustled" and wrote what to write.

"The 'soul' has dissipated too much, and it seems that when the curse is issued, the other party has already made preparations for the aftermath, and I have only determined the subsequent changes and effects. You take this list, and if there is an accident to the few security officers who enter the hospital, follow the above method to eliminate the future problems for them, and if not, don't care. ”

"Okay."

Li Changan, who took the piece of paper, responded.

"I'm going to take a break."

After that, he broke free from Li Changan's support and left the morgue.

looked at the trembling figure of the ancient mother-in-law.

Li Changan had to admit it.

This time I returned to the Tranquility Meeting for just one night.

It gave him a new understanding of spirit beasts and spirit masters.

I have a deeper understanding of the treacherous and changeable abilities of spirit animals.

Looking down at the list on the piece of paper, he said to himself:

"It's still about speeding up the pace of learning."

Little illusions, they need to grow.

He, the Spirit Master, also needs to grow as soon as possible.
