Chapter 505 Chapter 502 Ghost
The series of actions taken by the moat company not only scratched the itch of the pioneer plan, but also poked the pain points of the gangs. No matter how much the gangs want to protect the interests of the company, also known as the financial sponsor, it is impossible for them to buy execution puppets. To put it bluntly, execution puppets are often more useful than ignorant gangsters. Gangs cannot replace the bottom gangsters who account for 60% to 70% of their number: that would make them disband instantly.
Whether from the perspective of interests or social benefits, cooperation with the moat company is a better choice. It happened that at this time, several gangs were tossed around by Zhuang Xuteng. One by one, they got carried away and began to fight according to emotions rather than orders. Even if several gang leaders have secretly communicated with Qu Kuang to de-escalate the situation, they can't help but feel that there are still people who are sincerely and wholeheartedly making trouble here.
Zhuang Xuteng's actions are the main factor, and the accumulated contradictions between gangs are secondary factors, but there is also an unexpected main factor that is chemical energy weapons. In the past, everyone used the Shadow Gun Ring, and only a few "chefs" could make it. The shipment volume was not large, and the quality was not good. Most of the gangsters still had to fight with weapons such as sticks and swords. Even if the Shadow Gun Ring was issued, it would be very picky. Weaker guys would have to breathe for a long time after firing a few shots at a time. It was too dangerous to use sticks. If they couldn't beat the Shadow Gun, they could only be cannon fodder and couldn't kill the opponent's important characters, and they had no credit.
Now chemical energy guns are popular. They don't require a strong physique to use, and the operation is much simpler than sticks and swords. Basically, as long as you know which side is the muzzle, you can use it yourself after watching others use it once. The replacement of weapons makes gang members more inclined to use weapons. It takes eloquence to make sense, and it takes historical knowledge to quote classics. What do those gangsters know? In the past, when they could only use sticks, they were not very good at fighting, and they were afraid of bricks and kitchen knives. Now that they have chemical energy guns, it is not that they have obtained weapons at all, but that they have grown courage and eggs, and have grown hands and feet. Shouldn't they rush up and fight?
This kind of situation will of course turn into a melee. Unless all gangs act in unison at this moment, collect all the guns below, and build strategic mutual trust with each other... Forget it, just think about it and you will know that it is impossible to achieve, so let's continue fighting. There will be an end to the death after a lot of deaths...
Zhuang Xuteng has personally caused quite a lot of deaths, and this death list has continued from the snow-covered winter to the spring when flowers bloom. Citizens are protected by the PCPD, which is gradually regaining its courage, and the rich are protected by the Moat Company armed with chemical energy guns and execution puppets, while gang members have been enjoying Zhuang Xuteng's care, and the people in the crematorium are busy cursing.
A large number of deaths provided Zhuang Xuteng with sufficient resentment for cultivation, which not only increased the power of the "curse" of resentment transfer, but also improved the effects of all spells in the resentful spirit series. The tentacles of the resentful spirit can reach farther, the shadows can be created more, the resentful spirit jelly is more sensitive, and the power of the resentful spirit servants has also increased a lot.
Traditional necromancers strengthen their own power by creating and experiencing death-later this was defined as evil and gradually banned. The emerging necromancers also learned from other "good and neutral" mages to improve themselves through learning, research and practice, so that they were accepted by the mage world again. This led to a low success rate of necromancers, and fewer great mages were produced. The only ones who could hold the scene were those old immortal antiques, such as the Lich Master.
The Lich Master still remembered this skill of improving himself by creating and experiencing death, but he did not teach it to Zhuang Xuteng. It was not that he kept it to himself, but that Zhuang Xuteng's main development direction was martial arts and shadow slave implants, not necromancy. To put it bluntly, Zhuang Xuteng's progress in necromancy did not satisfy the Lich Master, and he was evaluated as "not even as good as the mages who studied rigidly". Since the learning method did not limit Zhuang Xuteng's progress, there was no need to use more ancient methods. After all, the Lich Master did not want Zhuang Xuteng to stand out and cause problems.
If he followed the pace of life of an ordinary mercenary, he would only hurt people's lives occasionally, and Zhuang Xuteng would never feel the rapid progress of necromancy in his life. In the past two months, he killed more than 300 gang members, more than half of whom were middle-level cadres. This speed was too extraordinary for a mercenary. Even during the company war, when the fighting was the most intense, it was difficult for the enhanced warriors of either army to kill this number.
The necromancy was ready to move, and even if Zhuang Xuteng did not deliberately guide it, it was growing spontaneously. In recent days, Zhuang Xuteng has clearly noticed that necromancy seems to be about to make a breakthrough. The effects of his spells such as wraith servants and shadows are more "vivid" than before. He often does not need to use spells to micro-manage. As long as his mind thinks of something, those guys will do it by themselves.
The final step is just around the corner. Zhuang Xuteng feels that this is like the breakthrough of supercomputing martial arts from three flashes to four flashes, six flashes to seven flashes. At this critical period, he must seek the guidance of the lich master to ensure that he can make a smooth breakthrough.
The lich master has been busy studying the problem of possession-he is still obsessed with the flat-headed brother. After analyzing Zhuang Xuteng's situation, the lich master confirmed that this is a precursor to an upcoming breakthrough, but it is definitely not a guarantee of a breakthrough.
"You have a good mentality. When you killed those gang members, your heart was very calm and calm, and perhaps there was a hint of joy. This is the correct mentality of a necromancer to treat experimental subjects. It seems that you don't need me to teach you. You have found the right path yourself, which shows that necromancy likes you very much."
The Lich Master continued: "If you continue to kill for a while, then I will teach you how the ancient necromancer increases his magic power. Hey, what are you looking at me with? You always say that you are not a killer, Assassin, I don't want to always accept the commission of killing people. I fully respect your idea. When I was training, I killed more and faster than you for a while. My success was due to the corpses. "
Zhuang Xuteng frowned and said, "How many have you killed? Innocent people?"
"Hmph! I kill more, but I'm not as ruthless as you, and I don't kill the same kind." Master Lich said: "There are many kinds of intelligent life in my world, unlike you where there is only one kind of human being. Necromancer needs The harvested death needs to be produced by intelligent life, which must understand the meaning of death, and it is best to be able to clearly feel the coming of death and have a great fear of death. My favorite target is the kobold: it reproduces quickly, is large in number, and is weak. , Afraid of death. I admire you for using human gang members to achieve your current level of killing.”
Zhuang Xuteng squinted his eyes and frowned, expressing his inner dissatisfaction - he didn't want to be labeled as "murderous", even if he had indeed stained his hands with blood recently. "Get down to business," he told the Lich Master. "Focus on practical matters."
"Oh, that's right, just focus on practical matters." Lich Master said: "Necromancers try to control death by understanding death. There are differences between real death and the death experienced in books, which forms the antique school. The difference with the learning sect. Among them, the emotion of the deceased is a very important factor, which has a significant impact on the formation, quality and quantity of the wraiths. You should understand this. "
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and admitted that Master Lich was right.
"Emotions are very important - remember this key again - not only the emotions of the deceased, but the emotions of the person experiencing them are equally important." The Lich Master said: "Some necromancers are becoming more and more willing to kill people, but they just don't pay attention to themselves. Emotions are brought in, and the results become more and more extreme, and gradually become abnormal. You are in a good mood, and you act very purposefully, not for venting or for fun, but at the same time, you are serious and committed. , maintaining a relatively neutral and stable mood. Your state is actually very similar to my current state, which is the state of abandoning the body, glands and hormones. "
"Are you complimenting me?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.
"No, it's just a very common narrative. There are advantages and disadvantages to your state, so it's not a compliment." Master Lich explained: "You improve your magic power by cultivating stronger resentful spirits, so you have to remember, The grievance spirit uses grievances collected from the surroundings, but it essentially originates from you, that is, grievances come from the outside world and the spirit comes from you. When collecting grievances, you must filter out other people's emotions and not let them affect you - this. You do it well. And their spirituality is either generated by you or by you observing other killers and imitating their emotions."
The Lich Master said: "You are always acting alone and are personally responsible for killing people. As a result, only the deceased has complex emotions, and the killer is too single. Communicate more with others and understand how others feel."
Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and said, "You mean, let me watch how others kill people and understand and imitate their state of mind?"
"Yes, the truth is correct." The Lich Master finally gave him the answer: "On the operational level, you mix the killer's resentment with the resentment of the deceased, don't filter it, absorb it separately, and then use the Wraith Servant Inside. Use the methods I give you to stabilize it, tame it, and finally control it completely..."
After listening to this, Zhuang Xuteng summed it up. To put it bluntly, he wanted to find a killer with strong emotions and rich emotions to make up for his lack of being too calm! He just had a ready-made helper in the form of Doyle.
Doyle has a revenge to take, and his target is the senior member of the Canghuo Gang, Cohen "Night Sang". Zhuang Xuteng has almost mixed up the gangs in Peicheng. He no longer needs to maintain the crazy state of attacking three times a day. He can spend some experience and make careful selections. During these days, Doyle followed him around, helped collect information, and did a lot of work. He should be thanked. So Zhuang Xuteng called Nightingale and Yanque to have a meeting and announced that the operation had entered the second phase.
The two beauties have been very tired recently, especially Yanque, who is still using low-quality implants, as if she is running a marathon every day. In other words, the dormant martial arts possessed by Zhuang Xuteng could deflect the side effects, otherwise she would have collapsed long ago. When the two sisters heard that they could reduce the frequency of attacks, they breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt that spring had really come.
"High-intensity attacks are not only tiring, but also have low returns. We have to go in and out quickly every time. It's been a long time since the three of us made serious gains." Zhuang Xuteng's words immediately sparked a fire in the two sisters. fighting spirit. "There is no money in the middle level, so we have to find a few high-level people to take action. Anyway, the gang has already been involved with the Moat Company, and the PCPD has also ended, so let's help relieve the pressure on our family. Do you two have a suitable target candidate?"
In a hurry, where did the two people come from? So Zhuang Xuteng took the opportunity to name Cohen "Ye Sang", the 17th-ranked senior cadre of the Canghuo Gang, and confessed that this candidate came from Doyle. He told the two sisters about Cohen's basic situation and asked them to investigate while paying attention to safety.
Although the investigation team still controls the information network of Peicheng, over the past three months, as the moat company has gradually become an important part of the pioneer plan, the pressure on the middleman has been reduced a lot, and the action can be resumed. By hiding themselves in the actions of the middleman intelligence officer, Nightingale and Rock Sparrow can also end the state of being disconnected from the Internet.
So, one afternoon, Cohen was receiving care from the implant health worker at home, and Zhuang Xuteng took the opportunity to sneak in. He knew that ordinary people need to receive implant care under anesthesia, and Cohen’s vigilance must be the strongest at this time. Therefore, he just entered the house and hid, and did not act immediately.
It was not until the care was completed, the health worker left, and Cohen and the people around him relaxed a little that Zhuang Xuteng started to act. This time he no longer pursued "style", but directly took out the "cultivation" success of the past three months: first kill two guys with implants at random, and absorb the resentment to the maximum extent through direct contact - that is, putting your hands on the skin of the dead - and then pour it into Cohen.
Cohen Yesang is a skilled shooter, good at evading and shooting while dodging between cover - this style is completely restrained by Zhuang Xuteng. Zhuang Xuteng has been touching him, but he didn't notice it. It was only a second before Zhuang Xuteng's palm touched his skin that he realized: Why is there someone behind him?
With a lot of resentment poured in, Cohen Yesang's body functions were immediately severely "challenged". Although he didn't have many implants installed - relative to his status - his own quality was indeed very good, but Zhuang Xuteng would not relax because of the resentment. At the same time, he removed his limbs and jaw (dislocated, not cut off).
For Doyle, he did not kill Cohen immediately, but chose to take him out. On the one hand, Zhuang Xuteng ordered the resentful spirit servant to drill into Cohen's body, lift him up, walk like a puppet, and put him in the clothes of the killed bodyguard. On the other hand, Zhuang Xuteng changed into Cohen's clothes, slightly blocked his face, and then imitated Cohen's body posture and walked out of the door directly.
Since the alarm had not been sounded, no one realized that Cohen had been controlled by others. According to the map provided by Nightingale and Rock Sparrow, Zhuang Xuteng came to the garage, used Cohen's key to open Cohen's car, and used Cohen's car to load Cohen himself, and drove out in a swagger.
The bodyguards at the door were stunned and a little overwhelmed. At this time, Rock Sparrow issued the "release" order through their internal communication station using a synthesized voice. In the past three months, Rock Sparrow has practiced this trick to perfection and has a high success rate of misleading.
So, Zhuang Xuteng brought a living Cohen to Doyle, and experienced the emotions of an Avenger erupting by his side throughout the process. This revenge was long and full of torture, so Cohen's death was also long and full of pain. The resentment of the dead and the resentment of the Avengers combined to make up for Zhuang Xuteng's lack of part and became the "spirit" of his resentful spirit.
So, he created a ghost, or the most bizarre and difficult of all ghosts - the revenge demon.
