When I came to the table, there was already one more item on the table.
It's a note.
"Note?"
"Why........"
To be honest, Fang Ze was actually a little disappointed the moment he saw the note.
Because in his guess, the most valuable things for the woman in leather are probably two things: one is the binding spirit, and the other is the medium awakening method.
And the reward is a note, which is probably the latter.
The latter, for Fang Ze, is actually not as useful as the former.
After all, he wanted to take the upright path of spiritual awakening, and did not want to take this external method of awakening.
And...even if he wants to leave, he doesn't have the right media.
Media is not something that can be easily obtained.
So, with this thought in mind, Fang Ze sat down disappointedly and picked up the note.
The paper was as big as a palm and folded in half. Fang Ze opened it and took a look.
At first glance, he was surprised.
Because the content on the note is not: a special awakening method. It is... a spiritual nourishing ceremony.
"Soul-nurturing ceremony? What is this?" Fang Ze looked confused as he recited the name.
And just when he was confused, the information on this note slowly entered his mind.
Looking at the information in his mind, Fang Ze was stunned at first, then a little stunned, and finally turned into surprise and hesitation!
"Soul nourishing ceremony."
"A very evil method of cultivating a binding spirit. First use an awakening ritual to bind the binding spirit to the furnace. After a long period of time, the soul and body become more and more connected."
"Then, through the sacrificial ceremony, the furnace is sacrificed, and the binding spirit devours the soul of the furnace, successfully grows, and takes control of the body of the furnace, gaining new life."
"The new bound spirit will get the body of the furnace, and will get stronger amplification ability, higher growth, higher wisdom, and the person who performs the sacrificial ritual will be recognized as the main one."
Recalling the information in his mind, Fang Ze was surprised, and his face was full of weirdness.
The reason why he was surprised was that he did not expect that the binding spirit that he had been thinking about for a long time would actually be realized in such a way.
And the reason why he felt hesitant and weird was...
What the investigation room gains must be related to the person being investigated.
So...since Fang Ze has obtained the soul-nurturing ritual, it means that this thing must be related to the woman in leather...
Fang Ze didn't think that this woman would be so cruel that she would arrange a spirit-raising ceremony and prepare to sacrifice herself five or six years in advance to fulfill the spirit-binding ritual!
That means...someone was actually ready to sacrifice her and cultivate a binding spirit when she awakened through the medium.
This woman was just a pathetic pawn who was kept in the dark from beginning to end.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but shake his head.
But he didn't pity the woman either.
That woman wanted his life. And she went ahead with it! If Fang Ze hadn't been so stubborn and made a lot of defenses early, he would have been lying on the ground long ago.
He is a "devil" and will not pity his enemies. Compassion for the world is something God does. What Fang Ze can do is send her to see God...
Thinking of this, Fang Ze took the note in his hand, and after carefully memorizing the steps of the entire ceremony, he sat on the chair and fell asleep slowly.
After a while, when Fang Ze woke up again, he had returned to the real world.
One, two, three are still guarding the pit next to them conscientiously.
Fang Ze jumped down from the tree and shouted towards it, "dig the person out."
One Two Three raised its fox head and glanced at Fang Ze, then stretched out more than a dozen vines from its body, and began to dig a hole.
The hole Fang Ze dug was not deep, and after a while, he dug out the dying woman in leather clothes.
With the binding of a binding spirit, a woman's vitality is very tenacious.
After being dug out, she slowly woke up, and when she saw Fang Ze, she burst into tears and kept begging Fang Ze for mercy.
Fang Ze looked at her, and then while arranging the ceremony, he said to her, "Don't beg for mercy, it's useless. Your fate was actually doomed from the beginning."
"Those who kill will always be killed."
"The moment you came to kill me, didn't you think about failing the mission and being killed by me?"
The woman stayed there.
Fang Ze shook his head, feeling that this woman was a little confused.
So he simply asked the woman to be clear about it. He said, "You don't think that if I let you go, you will be safe if you return to your superiors, right?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Fang Ze, obviously she really thought that.
Fang Ze smiled and shook his head again, and then while arranging the ceremony, he asked, "Have you ever heard of the soul-raising ceremony?"
The woman shook her head.
Fang Zedao, "There are actually many different ways to use the binding spirit as a medium."
"There are ordinary mediums that are awakened with humans as the main body and bound spirits as the secondary ones."
"There are also soul-nurturing rituals that use humans as furnaces to raise high-level bound spirits."
"The awakening of the medium you are using is actually not the real awakening of the medium, but spiritual nourishment."
"In other words, the people behind you have already regarded you as a furnace when you awakened, used to raise disaster creatures, and are ready to wait for the right time to devour your soul, and then get a more powerful one.
The disaster creature."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the woman was stunned on the spot, and then muttered, "Impossible...impossible...how is this possible!"
However, while she was talking about it, scenes from the past kept reappearing in her mind.
No one had pointed out these problems before. It was her first time to awaken, so she was not aware of the problems.
But now, with Fang Ze waking her up, she suddenly noticed a lot of weird things. She also discovered a lot of strange things in the past few years!
After a moment, she came back to her senses, then looked at Fang Ze who was drawing patterns on her body, and said with difficulty, "I believe what you said! Please! Give me a chance!"
"I shouldn't have come to assassinate you! I'm sorry!"
"I am willing to take refuge in you and become your partner, servant, no, slave!"
"My body, my martial arts, everything about me can belong to you! I just ask you to give me a chance!"
Fang Ze glanced at her strangely, but then moved his hands without any hesitation.
As he continued to draw the pattern, he said, "Sister, did you make something wrong?"
"We are enemies. I almost lost my life in your hands."
"The hatred of life and death is greater than heaven."
"You just said 'I'm sorry' and got over it?"
"Then in the future, if I can't kill the enemy, can I just say sorry?"
"I gave you a chance, who gave me a chance?"
"Who gave me a chance to use those defensive treasures?"
"If I hadn't carefully brought many defensive treasures, I would have been killed by you, okay?"
"And...you overestimate yourself too much."
"Aside from your binding spirit, what else is left of your body, martial arts, and everything else about you?"
"What's more... after I let the binding spirit devour you, aren't these still mine?"
Speaking of which, Fang Ze has completed all the preliminary steps of the ceremony.
He took out a silver dagger, then made several gestures on the leather-clad woman's body, preparing to insert it.
Perhaps realizing that she was really doomed, the leather-clad woman looked at Fang Ze with a desperate look on her face, and asked with a hint of hope, "Then...can you avenge me?"
Fang Ze:......
"Sister, you are the killer. Am I the target?"
"Shall I help you get revenge? Are you out of your mind?"
At this point, Fang Ze's dagger finally found its target. He glanced at her coldly and finally said, "It's my fault that you provoked the people you shouldn't have provoked and followed the people you shouldn't have followed.",
Then he fiercely inserted the dagger into the woman's abdomen.
After saying that, he closed his eyes and began the second half of the ceremony.
The woman in leather clothes looked at Fang Ze and shed a few lines of tears, "I hate it so much~!"
For a moment, she only felt waves of severe pain coming from her soul. The bound spirit that was originally bound by her and used as a medium for awakening seemed to have broken free of its shackles, pounced on her soul, and began to devour it.
She only felt waves of heartbreaking pain in her soul, and her consciousness became increasingly blurred.
And at the last moment when her consciousness dissipated, what came to her mind was Fang Ze's words, "It's my fault that you provoked the people you shouldn't have provoked and followed the people you shouldn't have followed."
After that, she completely dissipated into this world with endless regret and anger...
Half an hour later, Fang Ze looked at the binding spirit sitting in front of him, who looked and had the same figure as the woman in leather clothing, and then threw the leather clothing and firearms over, "Try?"
The bound spirit stood up expressionlessly, then put on his leather jacket in front of Fang Ze, and then picked up the pistol.
For a moment, the pistol flashed, and the spirit possession was successful! Then she aimed at a big tree in the distance, aimed, and shot, all at once!
There was only a crisp sound of "Peng!", the bullet came out of the barrel, and then a loud "Boom!", half of the trunk of the big tree was directly blown into pieces!
For a moment, perhaps because it lost its balance, the big tree slowly fell to the ground. "Boom~" The dust flew up, startling a bunch of sleeping birds and mosquitoes...
Looking at the fallen tree, he walked over and felt the remaining power of law on it.
Fang Ze felt that the strength of the binding spirit in front of him had increased by at least five times.
If the original firearm after the amplification of the binding spirit could reach the full blow of a first-level fusion person, then now it has reached at least the second level.
It's almost as powerful as Fang Ze's [Throwing Stick] after it was amplified a hundred times.
In this world where attack is generally high and defense is low, being an assassin is enough!
In addition to the increased power, the number of items it can increase has also been increased from the original three to six.
In addition to the giant pistol, tights, and helmet, she can also increase three more items for Fang Ze and herself!
Fang Ze has already planned these three items.
Two for himself and one for the binding spirit.
The two items given to him are also very simple, one is armor and the other is weapon.
As for armor, Fang Ze plans to buy a set of tights after he returns.
This kind of clothing is a whole, which can directly enhance Fang Ze's whole body defense.
As for weapons, he plans to choose a dagger.
It is easy to carry, and at critical moments, you can also use the [throwing stick] to throw it out as a hidden weapon. It can be said to be a must-have artifact for killing people, setting fires, robbing homes and robbing homes!
As for the last remaining piece, why was it left to the binding spirit?
It was because Fang Ze discovered that the reason why the tight-fitting woman could only fire one shot was because in order to ensure the power, every time she fired, all the power of the law attached to it would be exhausted.
And because the number of times the bound psychic energy can be possessed is limited, if you want to replenish the number of times and enchant the spirit again, it will take four or five hours to recover, so you cannot fire a second shot.
Then Fang Ze thought about it.
If I leave an extra time for the binding spirit so that it can seamlessly attach the spirit to the pistol twice, will it be possible to fire two shots in a row?
In the future, when you meet someone like yourself who has so many defensive treasures, isn't it equivalent to having a trump card? It won't be like having the power of just one strike.
Therefore, Fang Ze left one number of times to possess the spirit for the binding spirit.
After devouring the soul of the host, in addition to the increase in the power and frequency of the possessed spirit, the biggest change in the bound spirit is that it has a body, and it has a body that is close to immortality.
Due to several years of fusion and running-in, after devouring the host's soul, the binding spirit successfully "seized" the host's body and completely integrated with this body.
But because of the special nature of the binding spirit, as long as her body is not completely destroyed, she can slowly recover from her injuries over time.
Moreover, although her body is warm, she does not need to breathe, eat, or drink water.
A true humanoid weapon!
After understanding the changes that occurred after the binding spirit devoured the host, Fang Ze finally understood why the mastermind behind the scenes would give up such a beautiful woman with an exploding body and choose to cultivate a disaster creature.
It's so fragrant...
And thinking about the mastermind behind the scenes, Fang Ze's mood couldn't help but worsen a lot.
Although the woman in the tights was just a minion, Fang Ze still got a lot of useful information from her inner voice.
Although Fang Ze still didn't figure out who was the real mastermind behind the assassination, Fang Ze at least knew the person behind the leather-clad woman: a deputy director of the Emerald City Investigation Agency...
The identity of the woman in leather clothing is even more interesting.
A soldier in the Union garrison.
Later, he was sent back to the Emerald City for some strange reasons, and was actively recruited by the deputy director.
Although this woman thought everything was a coincidence, to be honest, Fang Ze felt that there might be something fishy going on.
A member of the garrison was suddenly deported? And then he happened to be discovered and recruited by the deputy director?
Isn't this too coincidental?
Fang Ze guessed that it was very likely that the force behind the woman had huge influence in the Federal Guard.
They select suitable talents in the garrison, and then deliberately find some reasons to dismiss these people.
After that, the person with a good reputation in the city where the candidate is located will recruit it and then use it for his own use.
The advantage of this is that the federation's huge official resources can be used to quickly select talents.
And because these talents have been officially screened and trained, they can be said to be well-established and have a certain degree of discipline, which saves a lot of training resources and time.
The disadvantage is...unless you have a huge protective umbrella, or you are extra careful, otherwise...it's too easy to get caught.
This woman was deported six or seven years ago, and up to now, this force is still active in the Emerald City.
Judging from this, the other party has not been caught.
So is it the former or the latter?
There was no expression on Fang Ze's face...
After a moment, he gathered himself together and made a plan on how to deal with the deputy director of the Exploration Agency, and then buried the binding spirit back in the pit again, planning to activate it when she was needed in the future.
Anyway, because of Fang Ze's soul-raising ceremony, the two of them had already established a certain connection, so it was very convenient for Fang Ze to activate her.
Afterwards, Fang Ze rode on Yi Er San and let it carry him, running towards the city...
As the center of the nearby area, the high-end city Emerald City is still very open, and there is no such thing as a curfew.
Therefore, Fang Ze returned to the city unimpeded.
When he entered the city, it was inconvenient for him to let him go, so he could only take a taxi and head towards the apartment.
The Emerald City is very beautiful at night. It may be that the Hundred Flowers Award is approaching. Many flowers have begun to gradually bulge out. In addition, there are colored lights on the ruling hall. It is especially beautiful at night.
Just like that, he leaned against the car window and stared at the scenery outside the window. After a while, Fang Ze arrived downstairs in the apartment.
Watching the taxi stop, Fang Ze came to his senses, dug into his pocket, took out a lini note, and handed it to the driver.
The driver turned on the lights, rummaged around, took out a few pieces of change, and handed them back to Fang Ze.
After getting out of the car, going upstairs, and arriving at the door of the apartment, Fang Ze took out his keys and prepared to open the door.
However, before he inserted the key, he suddenly stopped.
Because he felt something was wrong.
When he left the apartment before, he clearly turned off the lights.
But now, how come we can vaguely see the light through the crack in the door?
Could it be that... besides the leather-clad woman, someone else came to assassinate me?
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but stop.
Then he hid at the door and called out to Mei, instructing Mei to quietly enter the house and take a look.
As a shadow warrior, Mei can travel among shadows, and the most indispensable thing in the middle of the night is shadow.
So, she just looked for a suitable shadow on the ground, then got in and entered the apartment.
Fang Ze held the dagger in his hand and prepared his hand, planning to rush in and kill the enemy once a fight broke out inside.
And just as he was thinking this, suddenly, the door of the apartment was gently opened from the inside, and Mei's little head came out.
She looked at Fang Ze with her big eyes, and then called softly, "Master."
Seeing Mei like this, Fang Ze hesitated for a moment, not knowing what she meant.
However, because of his trust in her, Fang Ze finally walked up.
When he arrived at the door of the apartment, Mei stepped aside and Fang Ze could see clearly what was going on inside...
Bai Zhi leaned elegantly on the sofa and fell asleep with her head lowered...
Then, Mei pointed carefully to the back room.
Fang Ze looked in the direction of her finger, and then saw Xiao Bailing lying on his bed, sleeping with his arms stretched out...
