511 Seeking Help (1/2)
”Yang Guang...”
Wu Lu wanted to advise Yang Guang but all of a sudden, she saw something.
From upstairs, a pair of charred hands started to climb down towards them.
”Quickly go!”
Yang Guang shook Wu Lu off and pushed her away. ”We'll split up!”
Even the sunlight outside could not provide them with any sense of security against the ghost.
”Let's go!”
Wu Lu was tearing up as she fled with Xiu Wen.
”How? How?”
Wu Lu wanted to jog slowly at first. Slowly, the jog became a sprint and with a slip, she fell to the ground and her tears were flowing out. ”I will die soon! I don't want to end up like Bai Ling!”
”Don't worry Wu Lu, I will protect you!”
Xiu Wen pulled her from the ground. ”Let's move quickly!”
”Thank you! Thank you, Xiu Wen!”
In that instant, Lu Xia's impression in Wu Lu's mind started to fade away and was slowly being replaced by Xiu Wen's smiling face.
”Driver! Stop the car!”
The two of them ran to the main road. Wu Lu's heart was about to jump out of her chest as she quickly hailed a cab.
”Where are the two of you going?”
”We're going to... The Ma Paranormal Detective Corporation, where Ma Wencai is!”
Wu Lu was at lost and could only recall what Yang Guang had once mentioned. ”That detective... Yang Guang was already preparing to hire him for his services. We shall look for him and ask him to bring Yang Guang and the camera back from the apartment.”
”The Ma Paranormal Detective Corporation? Alright!”
The driver stepped on the pedal and as the cab drove away, Wu Lu heaved a sigh of relief.
...
Within the Ma Detective Corporation, Fang Yuan had specially requested for a greenhouse so that he could attempt growing the plants he had brought out from the Ghost Garden.
He was now watering a green sunflower.
Being 20 years old, Fang Yuan had a graceful demeanour and the act of him watering the plants would give one a sense of serenity.
”Although its properties are weakened, at least I am able to grow them in the outside world now...”
Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction as he gazed at a tomato with a human face engraved on it. Even though he was skilled in botany, the difficulty of growing plants out of their natural habitat was still great for Fang Yuan.
”The good thing is that I've finally succeeded... I have retained their properties and even altered their appearances so that they become more adapted to the outside world. At least normal people wouldn't get a shock when they see them!”
These plants had weird shapes at most, but they were not too shocking. Even Ma Xiaoling and Ma Wencai would occasionally come in to take a look at the plants.
”Unfortunately, there is a restriction on supernatural powers in this realm. Even for me, after becoming 10 times more powerful than the average human, I am unable to progress any further!”
Fang Yuan sighed.
The restriction on his stats was one of his biggest discoveries of this realm.
”The abnormal Purple Eye Realm, the restrictions on the stats window and the presence of ghosts are all related to each other... This realm is completely infiltrated by a high dimension energy from the Demonic Heart Realm! It is at least as high of a dimension as the being which robbed the dream dao from Da Qian!”
Only such a being had the ability to temporarily restrict lower-levelled beings of their stats and abilities.
”Furthermore... This form of energy is of a higher quality as compared to dream elemental force! Because of this, the ghosts here seems to be indestructible! They are harder to deal with as compared to Demon Spirits!”
”The mutated source of which this energy comes from might be related to the hallucination I experienced when entering the realm!”
Fang Yuan took a quick glance at his own stats:
”Name: Fang Yuan (Tantai Mieming)
Essence: 10.0 (100)
Spirit: 10.0 (100)
Magic: 10.0 (100)
Profession: Exorcist
Technique: Exorcism (Peak), Pharmacy (Peak), Eagle Claw Grappling Technique (Peak)
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 6)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)], [Spirit Sealing Body (1st Grade)]”
'Spirit Sealing Body (1st Grade): Your body is a weapon which is able to seal evil ghosts. You will able to seal any ghost that you come into contact with into your body! You have activated the 1st Grade, and the capacity for sealing evil ghosts: 1! You can choose to release the ghost!'
”15 years of living in seclusion and this is all I've got.”
Exorcism and Pharmacy were secret techniques of the Tantai Family. Having the peak level of these techniques meant that even the elders in the Tantai family who specialised in these areas might not be better than Fang Yuan at it.
As for the Eagle Claw Grappling Technique, Fang Yuan had developed it based on his own martial arts experience, combining it with the grappling techniques of this realm to create a whole new technique.
With his physical abilities 10 times stronger than the average human, he could well be regarded as the superman of this realm!
”Unfortunately, with my abilities, I am still only able to exorcise the low-levelled ghosts. It seems like it is time for me to improve my Spirit Sealing Body, huh?”
