Chapter 117 The Incomplete Solution
Chapter 117 The Incomplete Solution
"A ghost tamer just vanished without a trace." Liu San stood at the entrance of the money exchange, looking inside.
"Is it a ghost realm or a paranormal event?" Liu San stroked his chin.
He was merely a paper doll here, possessing very little supernatural power, and unable to analyze what had happened to Sun Rui.
"As long as I don't die, it's fine," Liu San said.
Sun Rui was nominated as captain, and dealing with paranormal events after his death would be difficult.
Furthermore, his true form is not currently located in Taiping City.
After observing for a while, Liu San prepared to leave. Supernatural events were currently occurring in Changlinning Ancient Town, and his clone had tracked them down to resolve the matter.
The moment he turned around.
The vengeful ghost, whose upper body was connected to a wooden wheelchair, appeared inside the money exchange.
Liu San took only a few steps outside when he suddenly realized that he couldn't move his legs.
"Did a vengeful ghost attack me?" Liu San thought to himself.
He tried to turn around, but he couldn't. Starting from the waist down, he had lost control of the paper figure's body.
The paper figure's feet began to rot, and the decay spread upwards.
Soon, as if time had passed, Liu San's legs began to rot.
"It seems that the supernatural power of this paper doll clone cannot stop this level of supernatural attack," Liu San said calmly.
He's just a paper figure here; if he dies, so be it. We can just bring him back later.
However, we still need to leave some information for the main body to investigate.
Then, he tore off part of the paper figure's face.
Beneath the face was a bloodied corpse without skin, its eyes tightly closed, as if suppressed.
"I originally planned to take this ghost back to its original owner to deal with, but it seems that might not be possible now," Liu San said.
His method of imprisoning vengeful spirits is somewhat different from that of other spirit controllers.
As long as the ghost's terror level is not high, his paper figure can be used as a container to imprison it.
Of course, besides this, there is another benefit to imprisoning them in this way: it allows them to steal some of the ghost's supernatural power and share it with all the paper figures.
Tearing off the mask is to release the vengeful spirit inside the body and fight against that vengeful spirit.
At the same time, it can ensure the integrity of the paper figure to the greatest extent.
In this way, as soon as the main body comes into contact with the paper figure, it can obtain information.
Then, he tore off another piece of his face. He could feel the suppressed vengeful spirit beginning to awaken and trying to escape from his body.
Just as he was about to tear off the rest of his face, he suddenly noticed that the ghost's attack had stopped.
The eerie decay stopped spreading upwards at his waist.
The paper figure was reduced to its upper body and fell to the ground.
"Was it the vengeful spirit within me that resisted this attack? Or is this just the vengeful spirit's pattern of killing?" Liu San quickly analyzed the situation before him.
But the next moment, something unexpected happened.
His paper figure actually grew flesh and blood, trying to connect him to the ground.
While he was still in shock, another unexpected situation occurred.
Something resembling an iron chain suddenly extended out from mid-air.
It was covered in rust, dark red bloodstains, and even had human fingernails and hair stuck to it.
"Another ghost? Or is someone helping me?" Liu San was startled.
He originally came here only in search of another vengeful ghost, but he didn't expect there to be at least two more vengeful ghosts here.
Just as he was surprised, the vengeful ghost that was bound by iron chains was pulled away.
It vanished from his sight in an instant.
Liu San discovered that the flesh and blood in his lower body had stopped growing.
However, the already rotten lower body could not be restored.
Sun Rui ignored Liu San's paper figure; if it was dead, it was dead. Anyway, Liu San's real body wouldn't die.
Just now, he discovered that he could slightly control a portion of the supernatural power of the Heaven and Earth Bank.
He then saw this scene unfolding at the Heaven and Earth Bank in the real-world coordinates.
Unexpectedly, with just a slight move, a vengeful ghost was imprisoned.
"Everything is going too smoothly; I have a feeling something's going to go wrong," Sun Rui frowned.
He left Dajing City and came to Daping City, becoming the new owner of Tiandi Money Shop.
The roads in between have been almost entirely paved.
If I had to name a danger, it would be when I first entered the Heaven and Earth Money House and was attacked by that vengeful ghost sitting in a wheelchair.
However, Sun Rui didn't have time to think too much about it and could only take it one step at a time.
Inside the Heaven and Earth Money Shop, the clash of trading rules continues as he seeks to extract more supernatural power from it.
As time passed, he discovered that the Heaven and Earth Bank seemed incomplete.
"Is it because during the seventy years that the man was immobilized, he lost control to some extent?" Sun Rui guessed.
This speculation is quite plausible.
It's this hidden change that might lead to his downfall.
Sun Rui's concerns were not unfounded, after a day of rule clashes.
Sun Rui sensed that he had already taken control of all the supernatural forces within the Heaven and Earth Bank.
He could also sense the location where the vengeful spirits he had previously traded with were imprisoned at the Heaven and Earth Bank.
"It's time to go out," Sun Rui muttered to himself.
At this moment, he could feel that the three vengeful ghosts inside his body were completely silent, as if they were dead.
This is different from the previous ghost crash; it seems more like it was suppressed by some external force.
And the supernatural powers he could use had become even fewer.
This was due to the protection he received from the Tiandi Qianzhuang (Heaven and Earth Bank).
"As expected, I still haven't completely solved my own problems," he thought.
This isn't the kind of survival he wants. The fewer supernatural powers he can use, the weaker his ability to protect himself becomes.
The fact that the previous owner of the Heaven and Earth Bank was nailed to death inside the bank shows that it is not absolutely safe inside.
Moreover, he also had to leave the Heaven and Earth Bank.
At the same time, he did not forget the hatred he had attracted outside.
Moreover, there is a vengeful ghost in Dajing City that is suspected of possessing the consciousness of a living person, and it is watching him.
"It seems I'll have to send my clone out into the outside world for a while," Sun Rui thought. There are many vengeful spirits in the Heaven and Earth Bank that we can make use of.
Having a captain-level clone is still quite possible.
"There's still one problem to solve: how to make my consciousness control the clone, instead of letting the clone form its own consciousness," Sun Rui frowned.
He didn't plan to solve this problem himself, since he had readily available help.
Soon, he left the dark space and arrived at the lobby of the Heaven and Earth Bank.
Lin Youxi was already asleep on the table, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.
Sun Rui stepped forward and patted the table.
"You're really carefree; you can even fall asleep in a place like this," Sun Rui said.
Only then did Lin Youxi groggily straighten up and squint at Sun Rui in front of her.
"You're back! Take me out of here quickly, I'm so bored, and I haven't eaten all day," Lin Youxi said pitifully.
"There's no rush to leave. Take me to see Sister Li. My own problems haven't been resolved," Sun Rui said.
"I'm really anxious, extremely anxious, and even if you go to find her now, you might not be able to," Lin Youxi said helplessly.
"You just need to take me to her, and I have a way to wake her up," Sun Rui said.
The reason he was looking for Lin Youxi was because he could no longer sense the existence of the Blank Ghost Painting inside the Heaven and Earth Money House.
Blank Ghost Painting left the Heaven and Earth Bank at some unknown time.
But Sun Rui didn't believe Lin Youzhi would just leave like that; at least Lin Youxi would know what Lin Youzhi would do next.
