Chapter 34: An Adventurous Attempt
Chapter 34: An Adventurous Attempt
"That damned foreign devil is finally dead!"
"They deserved to die for causing so many deaths."
Su Qin took out a body bag and put the strange monk's corpse inside.
This unfortunate monk still has a ghost inside him. If he isn't imprisoned immediately, the situation will become even more complicated once the vengeful ghost resurrects.
After imprisoning the evil spirit, Su Qin quickly turned around, closed the wooden door, and then reattached the gold foil.
He planned to hide here for a while.
The commotion I just made was quite loud. I wonder if it will attract a vengeful ghost. If it does, and he gets trapped in this room, he'll be doomed.
After doing all this, Su Qin began to examine the monocle he was holding in his hand.
This monocle, made of crystal, looks ordinary, like a piece of very common glass, with a crystal chain attached to its end.
But the cold sensation emanating from that hand, and the pale yellow threads wrapped around it.
This proves that it is a terrifying ghost, a supernatural object made into the shape of glasses.
"I knew I was right, these threads must be the supernatural medium of the vengeful ghost."
The color represents the level of terror of the vengeful ghost. The other ghost inside that foreign devil had green threads on its body.
I subdued it in a single encounter; its terror level was far less than the ghost in Shipai Village, only slightly stronger than the ghost in the laboratory.
Su Qin fiddled with the monocle in his hand, carefully observing the pale yellow thread wrapped around it, trying to figure out its specific use.
He had previously come into contact with some derivative products and had also made some guesses about this supernatural item.
This should be a supernatural phenomenon related to consciousness; even if it is taken away, it can return to the user.
If I hadn't killed that foreigner at the same time as I seized it, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to get it.
It has strong resistance to supernatural attacks that affect consciousness, and also seems to have the effect of transferring consciousness.
"That foreign devil's ability to control his clones and transfer his consciousness likely comes from this supernatural object."
This is a rare and excellent item, its effect is no less than that of Liu San's paper figures.
I just don't know how strong the supernatural effect is, or what the side effects are.
He wanted to give it a try, but there were two terrifying ghosts outside, and he couldn't get out at all. He could only pin his hopes on this monocle.
If one could possess the supernatural ability to transfer consciousness and create clones, like that foreign devil, then one would have the means to fight against those two ghosts outside.
"How do I use this thing?"
"Are you going to wear them in your eye sockets like that foreign devil?"
Su Qin picked up the monocle and gestured with it a couple of times, but stopped abruptly just as he was about to put it on.
Suddenly, a chilling question came to his mind.
"This thing is a kind of supernatural phenomenon related to consciousness, so will it affect people's consciousness?"
Since it seems to be a protective supernatural entity, is that foreigner really dead?
Su Qin dared not be careless. The ghostly hand inside his body emerged from his eye socket, grabbed at the monocle, and then slowly drilled inside.
Suddenly, the monocle emitted a cold, eerie light, and the lens trembled slightly.
It was fighting against Su Qin's supernatural power, and for a time Su Qin was unable to do anything about it, so he could only engage in a prolonged battle.
But as time passed, the ghostly hand gradually burrowed into the mirror, and the resistance gradually weakened.
Ultimately, the monocle couldn't withstand the relentless paranormal attacks.
In the end, the ghost hand's entire palm reached into the mirror.
The ghostly hand groped around inside, and then Su Qin felt as if he had touched something. He controlled the ghostly hand to grab the unknown thing and pull it out of the mirror.
Upon seeing what the ghost was holding, Su Qin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It was an illusory, unidentified object, half of which was transparent and the other half was as black as ink.
This is a consciousness entity. A transparent consciousness entity can only be the consciousness of a living person, while this kind of dark, blurry thing, he has only ever caught in the body of a vengeful ghost.
"Luckily, I was cautious; otherwise, I would have been in big trouble if I had blindly put on this monocle."
"It might even backfire, allowing that damned foreigner to turn the tables."
These intertwined consciousnesses were clearly the original consciousness of that foreign devil.
It's hidden so well; the true essence is concealed within this monocle, while all other external consciousness is merely bait.
If someone blindly puts on this monocle, then this consciousness will invade their brain, and it's hard to say who will ultimately take over the body.
Su Qin threw the wisp of consciousness on the ground with great disgust.
After the consciousness left Su Qin's ghostly hand, the transparent part began to dissipate rapidly, leaving only a small, dark, unidentified object wriggling on the ground.
Ghosts cannot be killed, and even a part of a ghost is just as eerie.
Left with no other option, Su Qin took out another body bag and put the dark, gooey thing inside.
He was about to make some bold attempts, and dared not leave such a dangerous thing around, otherwise an accident might happen.
Su Qin's attention returned to the monocle, and he prepared to try it on.
The foreigner's supernatural power wasn't very strong; he was fine wearing the monocle, and now all dangers have been eliminated.
Su Qin steeled his resolve, pressed the monocle onto his right eye socket, and put on the strange monocle.
He didn't feel uncomfortable at all, except that his eye sockets felt cold, as if they were covered with a block of ice. There was nothing else unusual, as if what he was wearing wasn't a supernatural item, but just an ordinary object.
"Could it be that I'm using it incorrectly?"
Do I have to extract my consciousness from my head and put it into this monocle like that foreign devil did?
But that doesn't make sense! This foreign devil shouldn't have any supernatural abilities to randomly seize consciousness.
Su Qin was very puzzled, wondering where the problem lay.
But when he tried to take off the monocle, he discovered...
The monocle seemed to be permanently embedded in his eye socket.
Can't get it off?
Suddenly, without warning, the pale yellow thread on the monocle began to wriggle, piercing Su Qin's eye and burrowing into his head.
"Ugh~ Ah!"
Damn it! So careless!
A sharp pain shot through his brain, causing him to clutch his head and roll on the ground in agony.
He struggled and reached into his head, trying to pry out whatever was causing trouble inside.
However, methods that were very effective in the past are now ineffective.
The eerie power of the monocle invaded his brain, clinging tightly to the dark, indistinct skull. For a time, the two ghosts were locked in a prolonged struggle, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Su Qin struggled for a while, then completely lost consciousness and lay motionless on the ground.
Time passed second by second, and no one knew how much time had gone by, but Su Qin still did not move, as if he had died completely.
puff~
The sound of an aluminum can falling suddenly rang out in the quiet room.
But how come there are aluminum cans in this empty and quiet basement?
An empty soda can lay beside Su Qin's head.
Next to the can was a pair of feet, belonging to a young man wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a black dog pattern.
This is an age of about twenty years old.
The wooden door covered in gold leaf remained unmoved. How did this young man get in?
When did you come in?
Or perhaps he has been here from the very beginning, always has been here, but no one has been able to see him.
The young man pulled out another can of cola from somewhere, opened it, and took a small sip, seemingly really liking the taste.
"He really was a guy who loved to court death; no wonder he died so young."
This kind of reckless daring is unique in the entire paranormal community.
"It's a miracle he's lived that long. What kind of bizarre supernatural things are these, daring to do this to him? It would be strange if he didn't die!"
The young man savored his cola while teasing Su Qin, who was lying dead on the ground, and stood there watching for a while.
Click~
The young man stomped on the fallen can, then turned and opened the wooden door, walking aimlessly outside.
With a gentle wave of his hand, a breeze swept by, and the wooden door closed again.
It was as if the door had never been opened, and no one had ever come here.
But the flattened aluminum can on the ground was particularly eye-catching, proving that what had just happened was not an illusion, but real.
