Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

Kuroyukihime also agreed quickly. Anyway, he only needed to mention it to his boss. The specific situation depends on what Aozaki Orange thinks.

It just so happened that since he joined that company, he hadn't seen his boss receive any commissions for more than a month, and now he couldn't even pay his salary.

Although the man in front of him looks scary in size, he doesn't seem to have any great malice, and he also said that the reward will be generous enough, so Kurogiri also thinks it is an opportunity to save his boss from having to lie on his desk every day. Whining out of boredom.

"Then it's settled. I'm looking forward to Aang Qi Chengzi's reply." Zheng Shu nodded with a smile and stood up from the chair.

After leaving his contact information, he left the ward.

Looking at the door closed by Zheng Shu, Hei Tongqian was silent for a long time. Then he remembered what Zheng Shu had said before, and looked at the two men lying on the hospital bed with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Half a year...Shiki, can you really wake up?"

…

…

After leaving the ward, Zheng Shu did not leave the hospital directly. Instead, he wandered aimlessly on the hospital floor.

Fortunately, this is a high-end hospital, and the floor where Zheng Shu is located is the most high-end single ward, so there are not many people seeing patients here, and there are also very few doctors and nurses coming and going.

Otherwise, with Zheng Shu's size, he would easily attract others' attention.

After searching carefully along the aura that resembled the undead, Zheng Shu finally found the room where it came from.

Boom boom.

Zheng Shu bent his fingers and knocked lightly on the door. A dull sound spread in the empty corridor. Zheng Shu, who stood there waiting for a while, frowned because he didn't hear any response from inside.

Something's wrong!

"Sorry, I'm coming in." He raised his voice slightly and said towards the room.

Zheng Shu reached for the doorknob and opened the door. What he saw was a girl lying on the hospital bed who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and some strange souls watching eagerly next to her.

"Floating spirit?" Zheng Shu looked at the thing that was like white mist and had no solid form, and his eyebrows rose unconsciously.

The soul fragments of some creatures will float in the air like dust after death. Those are what magicians call "distractions." The distracting thoughts themselves have no ability, and are almost useless scraps even for a magician.

But in some cases, these fragments will gradually come together while wandering, forming a seemingly complete soul.

It's just that the souls formed in this way do not have self-awareness, but only exist with instincts. They instinctively want to change back to their previous selves and want human corpses, and such existences are "floating spirits".

The power of "Floating Spirits" itself is quite weak and has almost no impact on ordinary humans. If they are healthy humans, they will not even be aware of their existence.

Only those who are extremely weak and on the verge of death, or magicians with special vision like Zheng Shu, can detect their existence.

In a place like a hospital, the concept of life and death is very strong, and there are many distracting thoughts. The possibility of them gathering together to become floating spirits is higher, and a large number of floating spirits gathering together will form enough to reveal the body. The physical things are what ordinary people call "ghosts".

Whether they are floating spirits or ghosts, their thirst for the body is extremely powerful.

Zheng Shu thought of this, and the golden color flashed in his eyes. He just glanced at the floating spirit that was close to a ghost, and the surging flames that appeared out of thin air burned it into nothingness from the inside out.

Walking quickly to the hospital bed, Zheng Shu glanced at the name marked on the bedside: Kimura Xinmei.

"It's not Wu Tiao Wuhue, is it the victim?" Zheng Shu narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect Wu Tiao Wuhue to start searching for "companions" so early.

But in retrospect, in the original novel, it was June when the incident occurred, and there were a total of eight victims.

However, even if Ujo Kirie was transformed into a "doppelgänger" by Araya Soren, he himself does not have much charm ability. If you want to make the victims jump off the building obediently, the most important thing is to confuse their souls. .

After a brief inspection, just as Zheng Shu imagined, the soul of the girl in front of him had disappeared.

In the Xingyue world, human existence is composed of three parts, namely body, soul and spirit, which are the elements of the Trinity.

The body is the interface that directly interacts with the material world, the soul is the medium that is attached to the body and communicates with spirituality, and the spirit represents self-awareness and understanding of the world.

To describe it as a computer, it is probably the difference between hardware, software and stored internal data.

Although the girl in front of her looks like she has just fallen into a deep sleep, her body is actually unable to continue functioning due to the loss of her soul. If she doesn't get her soul back, her body will continue to sleep like a vegetative state.

In fact, the connection between the human soul and the body is not as close as ordinary people imagine. In many cases, the soul will unconsciously leave the shackles of the body for various reasons, such as some so-called "soul separation" disease".

However, because the pure soul cannot stay in the material world for too long without the intervention of a magician, even if there are symptoms of soul separation, the soul will soon return to the body following the connection with the body.

But there is also an unexpected situation. If for some reason the soul is often separated from the body for too long, the connection between the two will weaken, and even eventually lose coordination completely. This situation usually occurs Supernatural forces guide.

After the coordination between the soul and the body is lost, the soul will unconsciously yearn to "return" to the place where they were before. In order to get rid of the shackles of the body, most of the methods they choose are "suicide".

Therefore, Wu Jiao Kirie clearly had no intention of killing others at the beginning, but people still died because of it. This is the reason.

She thought she was simply looking for a playmate, but little did she know that frequently letting the soul leave the body would make the other person's soul and body more imbalanced, eventually leading to the "playmate's" suicide.

Wu Jiao Kirie himself also frequently let his soul leave his body, which caused his will as a "human" to become distorted. This way of thinking became more and more like that of spiritual creatures - that is, he became more and more interested in human life. disregard.

Because for spiritual creatures, the body is just a cage that binds them, and the soul that can fly freely is the free subject.

"Because you have been locked up inside the hospital, are you yearning for the scene outside?" Zheng Shu lowered his eyes, "As expected, in the world of magicians, the simpler the desire, the easier it is to go to extremes, and the stronger the power gained."

The Wu Tiao family where Wu Tiao Wuhue belongs is a branch of the Wu Jing family, one of the four demon-exorcist families in Guanbuzi City. The characteristic of this family is that it can see things that ordinary people cannot see by overdrawing its own eyesight.

As a descendant of a separate family, Kirie Ujou's own power should be extremely weak, but driven by her extreme desire to be able to go out, she obtained a "overlook" that was considered powerful even within her own family.

Of course, the price is that she is completely blind and can only see spirits.

Araya Soren also transformed her into a doppelganger based on Wujo Kirie's talent.

"No wonder there are floating spirits appearing here. Suddenly a new 'house' that has lost its owner appears. These guys who pursue the body will naturally follow their instincts and run over."

"Fortunately, there is still time."

Zheng Shu observed the situation of the girl on the hospital bed. The girl's soul should have just left the body not long ago, so there were no major physical problems. The reason why Fu Ling was attracted was entirely because this is a hospital. s reason.

However, Zheng Shu felt that it would be better to find the other party's soul as soon as possible. After all, such a good "body" is placed in a place like a hospital. As long as some time passes, the connection between the soul and the body can be changed. The weaker you become, the floating spirits will scramble to snatch it away.

At that time, even if the girl on the bed wakes up again, she will no longer be the person inside, but the chaotic soul controlled by instinct.

Zheng Shu was about to leave the ward when he suddenly stopped and looked at the wall on the other side of the ward: "Huh? With such a fast reaction speed, and this amount and level...are there so many souls gathered in this hospital?"

Recalling what he had seen in the two ritual wards in his mind, Zheng Shu probably made a guess in his heart: "So, was it attracted here in advance? If it was said that it was attracted continuously for a year and a half, So it’s understandable that such a large number has been gathered.”

As Zheng Shu finished speaking, large swaths of white mist appeared in the ward. They easily passed through the concrete wall and greedily pounced on the body on the hospital bed.

Zheng Shu passed by the white mist, and when it touched his face, it felt like a mist containing cold wind. Of course, if he were an ordinary person, he would probably feel... I felt an inexplicable biting cold.

"Not bad!" Zheng Shu's eyes lit up, "This amount is quite valuable."

The value of a single floating spirit is not very high. For many magicians, they are even too lazy to care about it, but a large number of floating spirits gathered together is another concept.

The essence of these things is chaotic souls. No matter how chaotic they are, soul-related materials can be extracted from them after being collected.

In the world of magicians, anything related to the soul, even a little bit of material, is of great value, especially to a puppeteer.

"I'm really lucky. I just happened to be worried about what kind of reward I should bring to see Aozaki Orange." Zheng Shu looked at the white mist that filled the room and raised his hand with a smile.

"!!!"

The obscure language came out of his mouth. This was a magic trick that Zheng Shu had learned through years of study.

Surging magic power surged out of his body, forming a crystal substance that looked like a rhombus crystal in the middle and upper part of his palm.

Along with Zheng Shu's singing, lines representing magic also appeared inside the crystal. Zheng Shu's singing speed was very fast, and the inside of the crystal was quickly filled with runes.

call!

The moment the crystal was engraved with runes, the white mist that poured into the room seemed to have sensed some danger and fled in all directions. Unfortunately, it was too late for them to escape at this time.

An inexplicable suction force came from the crystal, and the surrounding white mist-like floating spirits were like wood caught in the whirlpool of the sea. No matter how hard they tried to escape, it was ineffective. They could only watch as their bodies were being destroyed bit by bit. Being sucked into the crystal.

The moment all the mist was about to be sucked in by the crystal, dozens of different faces appeared in the mist, showing painful and ferocious expressions. Then the mist shrank violently, and then these faces collapsed into white mist and were covered by the crystal one by one. Absorb it.

A huge number of floating spirits were easily collected by Zheng Shu, but it seemed as if some mechanism had been touched, and a deafening roar of anger erupted in a field that ordinary people could not perceive.

"Buzz..."

"The quality is good. It seems that the floating spirits attracted by the roots of the two rituals are of excellent quality and quantity."

Zheng Shu looked at the gray magic crystal in his hand and nodded with satisfaction, then put it back into his pocket, then turned to look in the direction of the roar, with an even more surprised look on his face. Smile:

"There is an unexpected gain? That's right. When such a large number of floating spirits gather together, they will definitely be able to give birth to higher-level undead spirits. It turns out that part of the aura I felt before was emanating from you."

Accompanied by a buzzing roar, a monster completely different from those white mist-like floating spirits appeared in the room. Its body showed a deep color that was almost pitch black, and its body shape also looked unusual. clear.

With the appearance of this undead spirit, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to have dropped a lot.

Feeling the changes in the surrounding temperature and the suddenly darkened room since the undead appeared, Zheng Shu's face became more surprised: "In addition to being able to interfere with the real world, can it actually affect the surrounding environment? Quality It’s a lot more beneficial than I initially expected.”

Feeling Zheng Shu's gaze as if looking at prey, anger seemed to appear in the originally chaotic head of the undead. it

The bone claws on his hands suddenly stretched out, looking like ten scimitars, and blue soul flames burned in the skull-shaped eye sockets.

The sharp bone claws traced a cold trajectory in mid-air and stabbed Zheng Shu hard in the eyes.

Ding!

Facing the enemy's attack, Zheng Shu had no intention of evading, and he didn't even blink.

The bone claw that could easily cut through the wooden stake stabbed his eyeball as if it had hit something solid metal. Not only did it not leave a trace of scar, but the attacking bone claw was easily broken by the force of the rebound. .

“Buzz!!!”

Seeing that his attack failed, the undead let out a silent roar, and the broken bone claws returned to their original state in the next moment. Pure physical damage was ineffective against such a spirit body. Unless magic was used, it would never be able to inflict it. Cause real harm.

"Not bad, it would be a pity to give this away." Zheng Shu stretched out his hand towards the undead in front of him.

As if sensing the approaching danger, the undead wailed and tried to escape from the room.

But it was too late. Zheng Shu's palm exuded a terrifying suction. No matter how hard it tried to break free, the undead could not escape the shackles of the suction. It could only watch in horror as its body disintegrated into crystal fragments. Gathered into Zheng Shu's palm.

"Not bad, there are actually extra gains." Zheng Shu looked at a blue crystal condensed by his soul in his palm and smiled with satisfaction.

"But since such a situation has occurred, it means that things are a bit troublesome." Zheng Shu thought for a moment after putting away the soul crystal.

Taking a look at the time outside, which was already approaching dusk, Zheng Shu thought for a while and chanted a strange language again, but this time what he chanted was not magic runes, but dragon inscriptions.

The surging magic power surges out of the body and is transformed into the fire element under the influence of the spirit of speech.

Under Zheng Shu's deliberate control, these fire elements quickly spread out with the hospital's inpatient building as the center, and soon completely enveloped the entire hospital.

"This density... should be almost enough." After a little calculation, Zheng Shu snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

With the clear snap of fingers, the fire elements all over the hospital were "detonated" by Zheng Shu at the same moment. Everyone in the hospital could feel that the sky that was already dusk seemed to suddenly light up.

Some people who are too weak to feel the presence of floating spirits can even hear faint screams.

"ah!"

A slight exclamation came from other wards, and Zheng Shu's ears accurately captured the sound.

The word spirit he released was not only able to clean up the floating spirits in the entire hospital, but with the help of divine power, it could also cause the physical activity of all creatures within this range to increase explosively in an instant.

Zheng Shu didn't know what method Araya Soren used to transform Wu Jiao Kirie's doppelganger, but he knew that no matter what method was used, in order to prevent Wu Jiao Kirie from dying in a short time, she There must still be a certain connection between the soul and the body.

The body of the person releasing the soul has always been the biggest weakness when it comes to things like soul leaving the body. People like Ujo Kirie who dare to leave the body without anyone's protection can be regarded as ignorant and fearless.

When the body's activity is activated in an instant, the connection between the body and the soul will also increase significantly in a short period of time, so no matter what kind of spell, such an influence will eventually force the unsheathed soul back into the body.

Just like now, the girl lying on the hospital bed next to Zheng Shu began to open her eyes dimly as her body trembled violently.

But when her vision completely recovered, Zheng Shu had already left the ward.

…

…

Wujo Kirie suddenly woke up from the bed. Although her completely blind eyes could not see the scene, she could still feel the clear changes in light and dark.

What's more, because of her talent, she could see more clearly in her soul state. Coupled with the pain she felt again in her body, Wu Jiao Kirie immediately understood that she was back in this cage-like body.

"what happened?"

Wu Jiao Kirie was a little puzzled. Ever since Araya Soren, who claimed to be her father's friend, transformed her body, Wu Jiao Kirie's soul had never failed to leave the body.

"This is the first time I've seen someone as brave as you. Don't you know that a body without a soul is very fragile?"

A voice suddenly came from the side, and Wu Jiao Kirie was shocked to realize that there was someone beside him.

"Who?!" Wu Tiao Wu'e turned his face to the place where the sound came from, with uncontrollable horror still on his face.

Although her vision has been completely lost after awakening her ability, it is replaced by a clearer soul perception and a "overlook" that allows her to see the whole situation from high altitude.

In addition, the five senses have become sharper after losing his eyesight. In terms of observation ability, Ujo Kirie thinks that he is even sharper than before he lost his eyesight.

But don't talk about it just now, even after this person spoke out now, Wu Jiao Kirie still didn't "see" the other person's existence.

Both the perception of the soul and the "overlook" she awakened lost their effect, as if the person who made the sound did not exist.

However, the increasingly severe sense of oppression and huge presence in the room made Ujo Kirie understand that the other party was truly standing in front of him.

Zheng Shu looked at Wu Tiao Wu Hui in front of him with great interest.

On the white hospital bed, the fragile girl sat on it. Under the loose hospital gown are slender hands and feet, slender eyebrows with cold eyes, and black hair scattered behind her back, as smooth as silk, which has become more and more complicated due to her frequent out-of-body experiences. With fair skin and the elegance that comes from a famous family, she is undoubtedly a top beauty.

The only flaw is probably those dull eyes.

However, relying on his own divinity, Zheng Shu could also sense the bad state of Wu Tiao Wuhui's body.

Her body was almost in a mess, her lungs were almost completely destroyed, and even the simplest breath would feel as painful as a knife.

There were large ulcers everywhere on the skin covered by the hospital gown, and the redness and swelling caused by various inflammations in the body increased wantonly, and some even showed signs of cancer.

If Wu Tiao Wu Hue was not supported by the magic power in his body, ordinary people would have died long ago if they were eroded by the disease like this.
