The reason why Froud is so concerned about the abilities of special undead is because of Tulas.
Although when he was in Chuxin City, he always disliked Tulas for wreaking havoc, but as the time they spent together increased, he gradually got to know Tulas. He was a little silly big boy with a very pure heart. If
When Froude was still alive, he might be ridiculed as a fool, but after becoming a soul, Froude liked this kind of pure-hearted person more than the elusive and complex character.
Angel mentioned before that there is an opportunity for Turas to also enter the study of soul tricks.
From then on, Flood was interested.
There are two mainstream ways to learn soul tricks. Ada and Shanni learned them through death energy, which is relatively safe. However, it also tends to be mediocre.
The second is to assist in practicing soul tricks by killing and absorbing the special energy of the dead.
Although this method carries the risk of corruption, if the opponent's special ability is relatively good, it can be learned instantly and the power of shaping will be greater.
Froud himself absorbed the soul tricks learned by Lady Silla, a special undead spider.
The first method can be done at any time, so you can put it down for the time being and don't think about it. The second method, if you can really meet a special undead whose ability matches Turas, this method is obviously better than the first method.
Because of this, Flood was very concerned about whether the farmer's ghost had become a special undead, and what special abilities he would have if he were a special undead.
"Special undead are usually very difficult to encounter. I hope you are..."
After discussing the current situation with Drew and making some arrangements, Drew left in a hurry.
Froude took out the login device and entered the wilderness of dreams.
He was going to report what happened here to Angel.
However, three or four days have passed since leaving the message in Shuqun, and Froud has not received a reply.
Turas followed Nice to the New City. Frod wanted to ask Turas to help with the summons, but there was no way.
In the past few days, Drew has been sending messages continuously, and the ghost incidents at the foot of the mountain have become more and more frequent. Even if there are royal wizards patrolling nearby, there are still more than thirty people killed in the forest factory, and there are still a large number of people killed.
People witnessed ghostly scenes.
Since Froude became a soul, he has also become interested in soul matters and has read many soul-related books.
One of them, "The Book of the Dead," mentions a lot of details about the undead, and it clearly states: The undead are naturally full of killings on humans, but the premise is that humans want to enter the territory of the undead. In other words, the killing of humans by the undead
It's basically a passive counterattack.
The incident at the forestry factory has somewhat departed from the description in the "Book of the Dead".
He has begun to actively look for humans to kill, and has begun to deliberately avoid tracking.
This is obviously not the norm.
If the other party is really the ghost of the farmer, he did not go up the mountain immediately, but went to kill humans to avoid tracking... This sounds very weird.
Froud had a feeling that the other party might be planning something.
Because Angel had not received a reply for a long time, and the ghost of the farmer was an imminent matter, Froud had no choice but to temporarily hand over all the affairs of Chuxin City to the Lord of Monroe, and arranged for several
The members of the hunting group protected him, and then he boarded the airship to the new city alone, deciding to go directly to Turas.
On the way to the new city by airship, Flood was not idle either. He began to sort out the summary of information sent by Drew.
Trying to use this information to reveal the farmer's ghost's ability and its plot.
"Case 1: The third carpentry team of the forestry factory was engaged in logging work at Slope No. 509 in the East District. When they returned home in the evening, they were attacked by a ghost. Four people died and 0 people escaped."
"Case 2: The second group of carpenters of the forestry factory were rough processing the transported wood in the open space outside the factory. They encountered a ghost attack in the afternoon. 11 people died and 1 person escaped."
"Case 3: The forestry factory team was attacked by a ghost while holding a meeting inside the factory. Five people died (including two members of the Knights); six people escaped."
"Case 4:..."
I read more than ten cases at once, but I didn't find any useful clues just from the case itself. I only know that the other party is not limited by time, is not afraid of the sun, and the location of the case covers a considerable area.
But when he read the oral transcripts of the escapees, Froud's eyes narrowed slightly.
The person who escaped in case two was named David. He was an apprentice carpenter, and his daily job was to rough-process wood with his colleagues.
On the day the case occurred, David was also doing the same kind of work. Although he learned that there had been several accidents recently, because of the concealment from above, David only thought it was a wild beast killing people. But the location they were in was next to the factory.
The open space was blocked by a large number of fences and iron nets, and wild animals could not enter, so David was not too worried about safety.
However, the development of things was beyond David's imagination.
The sky was very dark that day, and the sky was covered with thick black clouds. It was a depressing time when it looked like it was going to rain, but the rain never fell.
It was clearly afternoon, so the leader of the second group of carpenters also lit a torch and used the light of the torch to tell others to quickly put the rough-processed wood into the warehouse to avoid getting wet after the rain fell.
David was not in a hurry because the wood he had was oilwood and would not get wet even if it was exposed to water. If it was placed in the warehouse, it might spontaneously ignite due to being too dry.
After deciding to finish the last bit of survival, just pile the oil wood outside the warehouse.
David continued processing for about a quarter of an hour. At first, David could still hear the rustling sounds of the people around him, but as he went to the back, the sounds became sparser. When David put down his work, the surroundings were already quiet.
one slice.
"Going so fast? What's going on with that guy John? Didn't you agree to wait for me to have dinner together?" David complained and muttered, but didn't pay much attention and moved his handicrafts to the warehouse.
The door of the warehouse was open, it was pitch dark inside, nothing could be seen, and there was a faint fishy smell coming from inside.
David didn't think much about it at the time, because mice were often infested in the warehouse, so he let a few cats in to catch them. Cats like to catch mice, but they don't eat mice, so dead mice often pile up in the warehouse, giving off a rotten smell.
Often.
In addition, the rain is about to fall, and the stuffy atmosphere will make the odor worse.
David piled the processed oil wood products outside the warehouse.
After doing all this, David suddenly felt that his bladder was a little bloated.
There was a toilet in the warehouse, and the door of the warehouse was not closed, so David's first natural thought was to go to the warehouse toilet to discharge the flood water. But when David came to the door of the warehouse, he subconsciously stopped.
It's really dark inside, there's no light at all, which is a bit abnormal.
When a carpenter brings rough-processed wood products to the warehouse, he usually carries a glass oil lamp. After all, it is not so dark.
"Maybe they were walking fast?" When David was thinking this, he felt something was wrong. If they were walking so fast, why was the warehouse door not closed?
After pausing at the door for two or three seconds, David finally backed out.
He always felt that the open door of the warehouse was like a huge dark mouth, ready to swallow him at any time. This was a metaphor David made when giving his confession to the royal wizard. Perhaps it was some kind of omen, or maybe it was
The hindsight after learning the truth.
In short, David did not enter the warehouse. But he couldn't hold it in. According to the factory rules, he could not solve the problem casually. In the end, he decided to go around to the No. 2 warehouse on the other side to use the toilet.
Because he saw the lights on in warehouse No. 2.
The No. 2 warehouse was very clean and had no smell. David hurriedly entered the toilet. After defecating, he saw a large mirror facing the toilet door.
David spat on the palm of his hand and prepared to put a touch of hair on his forehead to style it.
However, just when David was showing off his beauty, he suddenly discovered that "David" in the mirror suddenly grinned. The smile was very weird, with a curvature that David had never achieved before. It was like a smile in a circus.
clown.
The eyes of "David" in the mirror were also lowered, as if they were shining with a faint green light.
David was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground.
The "David" in the mirror smiled more and more weirdly, and even leaned forward, as if he wanted to catch David outside the mirror.
David really felt as if a pair of hands came out of the mirror and grabbed his ankle.
Perhaps it was a crisis that broke out. At this critical moment, David picked up a small piece of wood next to him and threw it at the mirror.
The mirror shattered into spider web patterns, and the feeling of being grabbed at the ankle began to dissipate.
David hurriedly got up, shouted for help, and ran outside.
While running, David vaguely heard a shrill roar coming from behind, and a dark wind blew from behind.
David didn't dare to look back at that time, he just ran forward blindly, trying to escape from Warehouse No. 2, but he found that the door of Warehouse No. 2 was not far away, but he couldn't escape no matter how hard he ran.
Just when David thought he was definitely going to die this time, he heard a huge bell.
The moment the bell rang, all the gloomy wind around him disappeared, and David himself felt that the fear in his heart was lessened, and his soul was at peace.
David didn't know what happened, but his survival instinct made him immediately get up and run towards the door.
This time, the warehouse door did not move "far away", and David ran outside smoothly.
To be continued...
