Chapter 1142 - Ghouls
Easily attract the hostility of ghouls? Simon jumped in fright.
By the side, Nietzsche covered his mouth with both hands.
You dont have to make such a big fuss over it. Most extraordinary items will usually have some sort of side effect For example, the Spirit Awakening Waters side effect is already considered one of the more insignificant ones
Fang Yuan looked at Nietzsche with a smile. So, do you want to try your luck with another bottle?
No! I dont want one!
Nietzsche ran out of the store as fast as he could and toward the end of the street where he saw the back of the female inspector. Please wait!
What matter do you have? Vivienne turned around and scrutinized Nietzsche.
My name is Nietzsche, and I was in the store just now. I want to ask how Capone died. Was he attacked by a ghoul?
Ghoul? Vivienne sneered. Brat! Dont listen to those rumors! Even though Capones wounds look like they were caused by some kind of wild beast, Im more inclined toward a lion, tiger, or even a few stray dogs!
After saying that, an annoyed expression appeared on her face. Oh Black Iron God! I violated that cursed confidential regulation again. Brat, you have to promise me you wont leak it!
Its actually true!Nietzsche took a step back, and Fang Yuans description of the Ghoul Talisman appeared in his mind.If the heart or mind isnt firm, the Ghoul Talisman will easily attract the hostility of ghouls Hostility! This is it!
He took a deep breath. There are ghouls wandering around Kimbert City!
Bang!
In response, a car door shut.
Clearly, the female inspector did not believe a single word of what he had said at all.
Dejected, Nietzsche returned to the store and stared at Fang Yuan. You are a murderer
Brat, dont spout nonsense Fang Yuan blew on his cocoa. When I sold it, I had already made it extremely clear Moreover, do you really believe there are ghouls around?
I believe! Nietzsche replied in a deep voice.
Seems like youre a person with a story Mind sharing with me? Fang Yuan smiled. His voice contained a certain energy that made Nietzsche subconsciously relax and sit on the sofa.
Story What story do I have? Nietzsche was shocked.
For example, a certain imprint on your body. I dont know when you got it, but I heard that anyone with one would eventually encounter misfortune Fang Yuan pointed at the back of Nietzsches neck.
You know Nietzsches eyes were suddenly full of terror. the Sin Imprint incident?
Sin Imprint? Fang Yuan chuckled.
Yes The Sin Imprint is a sinners proof. Because this Sin Imprint runs through the bloodline of my family, our numbers have decreased significantly, and only a few of us are left Nietzsche bit his lips.
I can tell you that this isnt a Sin Imprint but a symbol! Fang Yuan said lightly.
Symbol? Nietzsche questioned.
As an offering for a certain ritual. Its an imprint dedicated to a certain existence. Your ancestor should have been chosen as a sacrifice but fortunately managed to escape. But its a pity that despite escaping, it still continues to flow in your bloodline, attracting the attention of those from the darkness
Fang Yuan continued, But I will neither tell you the name nor write it down because it will be blasphemy once relevant information appears. This is the source of all evil!
Yes, even the Church of the Black Iron God was unable to remove this curse But after I grow up, it will erupt completely Nietzsches voice was firm and persistent. Mister, do you have any suggestions?
What suggestion could I possibly have? Im merely the boss of an ordinary convenience store Moreover, my knowledge is limited to this Fang Yuan passed the buck irresponsibly. I know youre seeking extraordinary powers and are desperate to fight this curse, but lets talk about the ghouls now!
You Nietzsches face turned red, and he wanted to throw the teacup at Fang Yuans face but did not dare to. His eyes seemed to be saying,How can you be this shameless?
Dont be angry! Im really not the murderer. Furthermore, even if my Ghoul Talisman can attract ghouls, they would have to be nearby too! Fang Yuan said with an innocent look.
Have to be nearby? Nietzsche was frightened by this conclusion. Are you saying that Kimbert City already had ghouls?
And there must be quite a few. Otherwise, how would it be so easy to encounter them? There might even be a ghoul lair! Fang Yuan stared at Nietzsche. After knowing this, what are you planning to do?
Of course, I have to find the lair! Nietzsche replied without giving it much thought.
Very good! Young man, you have the potential to open a detective society. Do you need my help? Fang Yuan sipped his cocoa.
Detective society? Nietzsche was utterly confused by how Fang Yuan could jump from one topic to another.
Archaeologist, artist, detective are the easiest professions to come into contact with the extraordinary Fang Yuan said meaningfully. For example, Vincent! Youre very interested in him, right?!
Yes, because he is indeed an Extraordinary, and my elder is sure of this. He once rescued my elder, who mentioned that his strength was much stronger than many long-lived species! Nietzsche was full of admiration.
Indeed, if you were as strong as Vincent, you probably wont need to worry about that Sin Imprint anymore Fang Yuan nodded. But lets continue talking about the ghouls! Finding their lair is relatively simple. You just have to look at where a large number of homeless have disappeared or places with a chain of tomb robberies But how do you plan on destroying them? Or rather, do you even know what ghouls are?
No Nietzsche shook his head, puzzled.
They have blood-red eyes and dried-up skin, and they possess decent defense and extremely sharp claws Of course, to deal with their attacks, you merely have to be prepared beforehand and equipped with proper firepower However, this is definitely not the end of ghouls! Do you know what the essence of ghouls is?
Fang Yuan reclined leisurely. He did not think that Nietzsche could answer, so he answered directly, It is desire! A desire to eat excessively! Since its incorporeal, theres naturally no way to destroy it! Even if you burned all of a ghouls flesh, its spirit would continue to reverberate in the air and linger around their grave until it finds the next suitable host
So, does that mean theres no way to get rid of them? Nietzsche was dismayed.
Ghouls are far from being invincible. Any extraordinary power can damage this gluttonous desire. Of course, the Church of the Black Iron God can probably do it too
After saying this, Fang Yuan waved his hand, gesturing for Morigu to send Nietzsche out.
After Morigu came back, she said nervously, Mas Mister! That imprint I saw it! Its a sacrificial imprint belonging to Omar That humans ancestor was once a sacrifice of Omar, and now the descendants of the family cant escape the fate of being sacrifices
The fate of being an Outer Gods sacrifice was not easy to escape.
Once marked with an imprint, even if they could avoid it once, they would not be let off easily by the followers or worshippers in the future.
In fact, it would pass down the bloodline, and the spread of this poison would be endless.
Why dont you let me dispose of it?
The extraordinary Morigu had always viewed Omar as an enemy and was clearly disgusted after seeing the imprint.
She knew that with this Sin Imprint, Nietzsches strength alone was definitely not enough to get rid of it. In the future, he would surely become a sacrifice and contribute to Omars happiness.
Dont be anxious, Morigu My plan has yet to begin!
Fang Yuan had a cheeky smile as he gently caressed the cover of the Book of Flesh. As long as I have this, an increasing number of Omars followers will gather And once they expand to a certain extent, they will naturally want to carry out some taboo rituals. For example, summoning an Eye of Darkness? And what if an Eye of Darkness was gotten rid of once more?
Then Omar might come down in person Master, are you planning
Morigu Tata felt the trembling of her soul. Just thinking about an existence of that level was enough to make her tremble.
But her master actually dared to plot against this opponent. Just what realm was he at?
That monster has been avoiding me ever since it ate a loss in our earlier encounter Fang Yuan sighed. Leaving an existence like this alone is a hidden danger. Naturally, I have to get rid of it for good! In order to accomplish this goal of baiting it, I cant expose my strength before its true body arrives
In fact, this was also a type of fishing and trapping.
Of course, Fang Yuan did not mention some of the other important points.
For example, settling the grudge was only one aspect. His true motive was still that Eyeball of Destruction. It seemed to be extremely interested in the intrinsic quality of the Outer Gods.
Otherwise, it was just a badly-damaged seal and not going to be of much benefit. It was mainly for research.
I understand, Master But can that human truly complete Masters plan?
Morigu Tata felt that she did not even need to do anything but simply reveal her true form, and that measly human would turn into a corpse in front of her.
The potential of a humans will to live is endless. Moreover, he has a trace of destiny and a natural hatred toward Omar. He makes a perfect chess piece and bait Besides, an old swindler like me isnt just going to watch
Fang Yuan smiled meaningfully. Furthermore we can have more than one piece of bait. Even if something unexpected were to happen to him, we could simply change to another one. We have plenty of time, and its normal for a war between Gods to last incomparable long, so whats the rush?
He stared into the void, as though he had already seen everything in the future.
