Chapter 48: Someone Else
The different types of essentia of the Awakened bring different advantages to themselves.
Lindsay's vital essence can enhance physical fitness and prolong life.
Traders can place essentia outside into objects to create magical props, and at the same time, because of the extraction of essentia from their own body, they can hide their identity as an awakened person.
Basic essentia has the widest range of practicality and does not have any negative effects.
And the essentia of the volitional system also has its peculiarities.
After Lindsay's Willessentia was advanced, it did not bring him any direct enhancement in physiological attributes, but his Willpower attribute increased to 11, and his perception ability also improved to a certain extent.
Now Lindsey was looking intently around her.
It can vaguely see colors that are invisible to ordinary people, and the sensitivity of hearing and smell has also improved to a certain extent.
And now, Lindsay has a very strange question in front of her.
He heard a noise coming from the antechamber of the cabin, but until then, he had not noticed any movement of the door opening or someone coming in through the window.
"Who is it? Who's there? ”
Lindsay raised her eyebrows slightly, put down the notes in her hand, and walked towards the front hall.
As a result, I walked to the study in the center of the room.
Under the porch leading to the antechamber, a heavy, hurried footstep accompanied Finn's bloodless face before him.
"Mr. Finn?!"
Lindsay was stunned.
Before he could react, Finn roared and rushed at him.
"Roar!"
- Living corpses!
The dangerous encounter three years ago made Lindsay make a judgment in an instant.
He was furious, shocked and angry.
Far beyond the physical fitness of ordinary humans, Lindsay clearly saw every detail of Finn's corpse movements.
The teacher's living corpse was coming at him at the moment.
With your left foot in front and your right foot behind, lean forward with your hands in a choke-neck position.
Lindsay clenched his fist with one hand, dodged a step, and shot a straight punch in an instant.
But the moment his fist hit Finn's head, the corpse was beaten backwards, and Lindsay's eyes sank to the bottom.
Even if it's a living corpse.
But it's also Finn's corpse after all.
"Damn it!"
Lindsey scolded.
The right hand that went out turned into a fist and clasped Finn's shoulder downward.
At the same time, he lunged forward, his left foot sweeping diagonally towards Finn's corpse's legs.
Thump!
The living corpse was immediately thrown down by Lindsay.
Immediately, Lindsay turned around again and wrestled him to the ground with the force of the walking corpse. The right hand, which was originally holding the corpse's shoulder, also twisted along the shoulder to the wrist, firmly controlling the living corpse to the ground with an anti-joint technique.
"Roar!"
Bang bang bang!
The living corpse was crushed under Lindsay, struggling desperately.
Its strength was indeed not small, and the stone brick floor of the house was made by its struggle.
But the one who suppressed him was Lindsay.
Lindsay now is much stronger than the kid three years ago.
And Finn's living corpse is not frozen hard in the ice and snow, and in fact, the difficulty of subduing it is even lower.
Lindsay's only problem was what to do with the living corpse.
Because its essentia has been fused with the skills of [gamers]. Therefore, even if he learns the knowledge of the Death School, he will not sublimate the corresponding ability to deal with living corpses.
Unless he can be ruthless and dismantle Finn's corpse.
Otherwise, you can only find a way to control it, and then bring it all the way to the red moon before you can deal with it properly.
Of the two methods, Lindsey naturally chose the latter.
Not to mention respect for teachers.
Just with his current ability, it is not a problem to control a movable corpse.
"Whew-"
With a plan, Lindsay took a deep breath.
It was as if someone had choked him in his heart at the moment.
The teacher's body was activated during his own wake, and it was impossible for anyone to feel good in such a situation.
But the most important thing now is to deal with reality as soon as possible.
Immediately after, Lindsay tightened her lips and pulled the two hands of the living corpse behind her back, then pressed them together and clasped them tightly with her left hand.
Then he lifted the whole corpse up, and took the opportunity to grab the corpse's thigh with his right hand.
It didn't take much work.
Like a weightlifter lifting a barbell, he lifted the struggling corpse above his head and walked out in a completely harmless position.
“……”
"Lindsay, what's going on here?"
"Something is roaring!"
Lindsay walked out of the cabin.
Outside, the shouts of neighbors rang out all around.
The night in the town was quiet, and the roar of the living corpses was enough to wake people from their sleep.
The rest of the townsfolk hadn't gone out yet.
But they also got dressed and got up, ready to see what was going on outside.
"Everybody stays at home, they don't have to come out."
"It's just a little trouble here, I can handle it alone!"
Lindsey didn't want Finn's affairs to disturb the townspeople.
He calmed the townspeople, and then immediately sped up under his feet, and the whole person rushed directly into the wilderness outside the town with the living corpse.
He didn't want to frighten any ordinary people, so he deliberately made a big circle outside the town before running in the direction of the church.
At Lindsay's pace, the journey didn't take him much time.
It was already late at night.
Under the moonlight, the cemetery church hangs alone from the town.
Lindsay held the corpse and opened the door, so she simply sprinted, climbed over the low walls of the church, and landed firmly in the courtyard with her feet.
"Mama! There's something wrong with Mr. Finn's body! ”
Lindsay immediately called.
After a few breaths, the lights lit up in Red Moon's room.
Immediately after Red Moon pushed the door open, she saw Lindsay standing in the courtyard, and Finn's corpse held above his head, still struggling.
"Living corpses?"
Red Moon's eyes were serious, already aware of the problem.
So the moment her words landed, a red light also flashed in the courtyard of the church.
The Death School specializes in dealing with this matter, and Red Moon's ability naturally takes effect immediately.
Almost in the next second, Lindsay felt that the corpse in his hand had lost all signs of activity and had become the old man in eternal sleep again.
"Mama, it's been a hard work."
Lindsay hurriedly placed Finn's body on the ground and began to examine the body's wrists and ankles to make sure that her actions had not harmed the integrity of the body.
At the same time, Red Moon walked up to Lindsay and asked in a somewhat solemn tone:
"Lindsay, what's going on on your side tonight?"
Lindsey hastened to explain:
"I was in Mr. Finn's house all night without any movement or warning. Teacher Finn...... He, suddenly, changed. ”
"It's not normal." Red Moon said with certainty, "Finn poured all of his essentia into that branch before he died. His corpse, not to mention ordinary people, even among the awakened, belongs to the category that is extremely difficult to activate. ”
Hearing this, Lindsay's action of inspecting the corpse was instantly stunned.
Without raising his head, he asked Hongyue:
"So in this case, what happens to make the body alive?"
Red Moon immediately replied:
"It can only be the active influence of external essentia."
“……”
"Mama, I'll go out. Please take care of Mr. Finn's body, and I'll be back as soon as I can. ”
