Chapter 23: Don't Think You'll Be Liberated by Death
The resentment is monstrous, and every word is bloody!
Chen Jing was now like a beast that had suddenly been scarred, staring fiercely at Pei Zhiqing and Lu Heng.
If it weren't for the fact that he was now seriously injured and his legs were still useless, I am afraid that he would have struck again in anger.
"Did she say something wrong?" Lu Heng looked at Chen Jing and asked, "Or is it that you have become the way you are now, and it has something to do with the famous family in your mouth?" ”
"What, you feel indignant and want to cry out for me?" Chen Jing turned to sneer, "Don't think that you can change the world at a young age with the strength of the eighth level, and I don't need the mercy of you people!" ”
"No, I just want to know if there is such a thing, so I should be on guard in advance in the future." Lu Heng smiled.
"Senior, beware of this person's slander." Pei Zhiqing hurriedly reminded.
She was from a famous family, and she was worried that Chen Jing would talk nonsense.
"Whether it is slanderous or not, I will naturally judge." Lu Heng shook his head and said to Chen Jing, "Tell me?" ”
"No comment, you can kill me." Chen Jing closed his eyes directly this time and refused to communicate.
"......" Lu Heng was silent, but the expression on his face became strange.
He found that Chen Jing's current state was as if he had let go of some obsession and could happily die.
"You've been identified and want to die?" Lu Heng asked.
But Chen Jing still closed his eyes and didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard Lu Heng's words at all.
"Senior, do you want me to persuade him?" Pei Zhiqing said in a low voice, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding in this." ”
"Not necessarily." Lu Heng shook his head and asked Chen Jing again, "There are so many white bones in the dry well outside this stone room, all of them were killed by you?" ”
"That's right, I did it." Chen Jing looked at Lu Heng as if he had broken a jar, and sneered, "Why do you do so much to show your righteousness in killing me?" ”
"You're really not going to get in." Lu Heng frowned and sighed, "Since you are so bent on death, I will meet your request, how about it?" ”
"You kill...... What? Chen Jing raised his head suddenly, as if he didn't expect Lu Heng to really agree.
Then he laughed again, nodded and said, "Hahaha, you are different from those sanctimonious guys, kill if you say kill, happy!" Good, good, great! Come on! ”
"I'll give you a good one." Lu Heng bowed his head slightly, and then raised the Black Tiger Dementor Knife extremely decisively, and slashed at Chen Jing's neck impartially, but when the blade was about to cut off the opponent's head, he suddenly whispered, "But don't think that you can be freed by death." ”
Before the words fell, the blade had already fallen.
Chen Jing's head immediately rolled to the side, and blood gushed out of his neck like a fountain, rushing the head to the side of Fang Qian not far away, and the pool of blood also spread to that side.
Fang Qian, who had been knocked out by Chen Jing, seemed to smell the smell of blood, and woke up after moving slightly.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Jing's head fall in front of his eyes, and then his eyes went dark, and he fainted again, unconscious.
"Senior...... Really decisive. Pei Zhiqing was also very surprised.
In her opinion, Lu Heng obviously wanted to ask for a lot of information from Chen Jing, and he should have saved the right life first, and then enlightened and interrogated little by little, slowly drawing it up.
This method may not be useful at first, but as long as it lasts for a long time, it will most likely work.
How can you just kill it?
Pei Zhiqing was puzzled.
And from the perspective she couldn't see—
The outline of a gloomy archway appeared behind Lu Heng, with a faint blue firelight on it, and a strange and deep vortex swirled in the center of the portal below the archway, and I don't know where it leads.
It's the Hundred Ghost Gatehouse!
The same as when Yang Haichao's soul was harvested and refined into a ghost soldier before, this Hundred Ghost Gatehouse still had the same action, sucking towards the location of Chen Jing's corpse.
Immediately, a humanoid silhouette phantom appeared on this corpse, turned into a dark blue light that only Lu Heng could see, and flew into the Hundred Ghost Gatehouse.
After just a short while, Chen Jing's soul will be refined into a ghost soldier who only knows how to obey the orders of the Hundred Ghost Gatehouse and does not have any self-awareness.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the ghost soldier will not remember the events of his life.
"Let's go." Lu Heng shook his head lightly and turned to leave.
At the same time, the bodies of Fang Qian and Chen Jing, who were lying on the ground and fainted, suddenly disappeared, and they were all put into the inner fire pill furnace by him.
As long as it is not fired, it can be used to store living creatures.
"Yes, Senpai." Pei Zhiqing nodded and followed behind Lu Heng.
Although she also saw the scene where Fang Qian and Chen Jing's bodies disappeared, she didn't have much surprise in her heart.
After all, in her eyes, Lu Heng was a disciple of a certain legendary land immortal, and it was normal for her to have some means to transcend the mundane.
After leaving the stone room and jumping out of the dry well, Lu Heng took Pei Zhiqing back to the courtyard of Fang Qian, and instructed: "You search in this mansion and pay more attention to things like letters." ”
"I won't let my predecessors down!" Pei Zhiqing immediately bowed his hand and saluted.
In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, so that he could really investigate what Fang Qian had done.
It's just that there was a master in Fang Qian's mansion before, and she couldn't do it.
Now there's finally a chance.
When Pei Zhiqing left, Lu Heng once again used his magic power to urge the Hundred Ghost Gatehouse and summoned Chen Jing, who had just been refined into a ghost soldier.
The appearance of the ghost soldier Chen Jing is much younger than when he was alive.
At this time, he looked like a burly and sturdy middle-aged man, with dark skin and an expressionless face, standing there straight, waiting for orders.
"The state of the ghost soldier is actually a ghost thing that has lost its self-consciousness." Lu Heng thought for a moment, and then took out two spars in the game backpack, which were "Resentment Fragments" and "Pure Soul Power".
This is the drop he received after clearing the Single Boss dungeon "Haunted House".
[Fragment of Resentment: An unadvanced spiritual creature, a secondary component of the Earthbound Spirits. It can induce the resentment in the hearts of ghosts, make ghosts regain self-consciousness and maintain them for a quarter of an hour, and can also be used as auxiliary materials for refining certain magic weapons. 】
[Pure Soul Power: An unadvanced spiritual creature and a secondary component of the Earthbound Ghosts. It can be used to strengthen the spiritual power of cultivators, it can also solidify the form of ghosts, enhance its strength, stabilize its consciousness, and can also be used as an auxiliary material for refining certain magic weapons. 】
Through these two spiritual objects, it is enough to give Chen Jing a "surprise".
Lu Heng flicked his fingers, and the resentment fragments and pure soul power were smashed into the body of the ghost soldier Chen Jing.
His expressionless face suddenly became hideous and full of resentment, and his previously dazed eyes also bloomed again, as if he had returned to normal consciousness.
But the sudden return of normal consciousness made Chen Jing's ghost soldier body begin to show signs of collapse, and at this time, the pure soul power played a role, strengthening and stabilizing his ghost soldier body.
"This, this is ......" Chen Jing touched his neck in disbelief, and looked down at his palm, only to feel that the worldview he had formed for decades had been completely subverted,
In the end, he looked at Lu Heng in front of him, but he opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Remember what I said?" Lu Heng said with a smile, "Don't think that you can be liberated if you die." ”
Not only is there no liberation, as a ghost soldier, even if he has a state of self-awareness, he must obey the orders of the master of the Hundred Ghost Gatehouse.
This is the instinct of the ghost soldiers.
Chen Jing understood his current situation the moment he regained his self-consciousness, and after a brief shock, he knelt down respectfully in front of Lu Heng and saluted: "Ghost soldier Chen Jing, meet the immortals." ”
Lu Heng bowed his head slightly, and then said, "Let's talk about you, about Fang Qian, and the stone room, those white bones." ”
