"...The above are the precautions for supernatural incidents, to sum it up in one word: run! Then find as soon as possible!"
Wu Liang spent ten minutes briefly explaining the weaknesses and abilities of his Fierce Ghost minions.
For example, the Mist Ghost, five years ago its mist could only trap people and couldn't affect inanimate objects. During that ti, you could constantly pick up stones and throw them out while trapped to attract attention and alert everyone to its presence.
If you pick up the Oil Paper Umbrella and don't open it imdiately, it naturally won't trigger a terrifying supernatural event right away either.
As for the Hanged Ghost, you just need everyone to gather outdoors where there's nothing overhead to hang from, and it would be relatively safe.
In short, as long as they're all sent back in ti to five years ago like the Nightmare Puppet Ghost, there are certain counterasures. Except for one rather special Fierce Ghost—
"As for the Kitchen Knife Ghost... I recomnd the mont you spot it, run while calling for help. The village currently has no counterasures, so it's up to how fast you can run." Wu Liang candidly said.
Only the Kitchen Knife Ghost, it doesn't use any subtle ans to kill. It solves problems with a single slash.
To subdue it, you have to first capture the Mist Ghost and other minions, trap the Kitchen Knife Ghost, then gradually make it fall into a dreamlike state using the Nightmare's ability.
"Alright! No problem!"
"Don't worry, we'll just move near Saintess Yao's house and camp out for the next few days!"
"..."
The villagers all actively responded to Wu Liang's suggestions, which brought a sense of relief to Yao Qingxue.
It seed everyone understood the severity of the crisis in front of them, which was good. She had been worried everyone would panic and want to flee Taohua Village.
In this state, anyone who escaped outside the village probably wouldn't co back alive.
"By the way, how is mom's Awakened Ability different from Sister Yang's?" Wu Liang glanced at the delicate wooden staff in Yao Qingxue's hand, whose faint glow was gradually fading, and asked the Nightmare.
A single word could control the mindset of all the villagers. This ability reminded him most of the Sheep's [Spiritual Domination] in his mory.
Hearing this, the Nightmare quickly denied Wu Liang's idea within the [Ghost Compendium].
"Boss, it's completely different. From a certain perspective, Auntie's Awakened Ability is far stronger than any ability we've encountered at this stage!"
"Sister Yang's [Spiritual Domination] controls a number that depends on her spiritual power, which definitely has a limit. Normally, any Awakened Ability works that way, there's consumption as long as you use it."
"But Auntie's ability is completely different!"
Saying this, the Nightmare glanced again at the magic staff in Yao Qingxue's hand, feeling increasingly inspired to contribute to building a beautiful civilized society.
He marveled, "This ability has no consumption because it doesn't directly control thoughts. Instead, everyone who sees it is spontaneously guided to bring out their good qualities of truth, kindness, and beauty."
As Nightmare spoke, Wu Liang nodded thoughtfully, seemingly understanding its aning.
If Sister Yang's [Spiritual Domination] is like tying a target with rope, it is actively imposed.
Then mom's Awakened Ability is like a srizing scenery, where those who see it find it beautiful.
The thought, "how pretty," cos from yourself, not because the scenery forcibly changes your mind. It's simply there, and no matter how many tis you look at it, there won't be any substantial consumption of it.
"So, if mom has been trapped here for five years, and the villagers have had these good qualities during that ti, does it an she has been continuously releasing her Awakened Ability for five years?" Wu Liang couldn't help but feel a bit numb thinking this.
It was practically incredible.
Mom's Awakened Ability could change the world if brought into reality.
Imagine such a scene—
Yao Qingxue activates her Awakened Ability, emitting Holy Light, then carries out dia promotion, live broadcasts, or even news broadcasts—anything that could visualize it, finding ways for everyone in the world to see the Holy Light.
Since there's no ntal consumption, even making the whole world truthful, kind, and beautiful wouldn't burden Yao Qingxue at all.
All she needs to do is simply stand there.
It could indeed be said to bring universal harmony!
"Let's focus on the current problems first. We can discuss these matters after rescuing mom." After making the announcents, all the villagers began to return and prepare.
On their way ho, Wu Liang and Yao Qingxue were startled by a sudden voice from the adjacent field: "Boohoo... I'm guilty! I shouldn't think of murder! Let make ands for this sinful thought!"
The next second, the familiar mist spread out.
Wu Liang instinctively shielded his mom, ready to pull out the Nightmare Mask.
But the Fierce Ghost behind the voice only walked out of the mist, slightly sobbing, and kneeled before Yao Qingxue, pleading for her forgiveness.
The Mist Ghost—it had been hiding following Yao Qingxue since she left the central open space, intending to catch everyone off guard and take down this so-called Saintess first!
But this also ant it had been staring at the "truth, kindness, and beauty" glow of that wooden staff the whole ti.
Which made the outco obvious, this guy had now changed its heart and didn't want to be a Fierce Ghost anymore...
"What the hell! Is this real? Is this even possible?" Wu Liang couldn't regain his composure even after putting the Mist Ghost back into the [Ghost Compendium].
Right beside him, Yao Qingxue just continued to smile, saying, "Apparently not all ghosts are evil, that child seed pretty nice."
This comnt made Wu Liang's mouth twitch involuntarily.
Looks like mom's not wrong in saying that.
After all, as long as she shines with the "truth, kindness, and beauty" radiance, any monsters or ghosts they et are bound to be good people, or even good ghosts!
With the unexpected reclamation of the Mist Ghost, Wu Liang felt more confident when facing other Fierce Ghosts afterward.
They had been subdued once before, so it wouldn't be too difficult to subdue them again now.
At most, it would just take a bit of ti.
Two days flew by.
With all the villagers voluntarily cooperating and mutually watching out for each other without any reservations.
During these two days, Wu Liang successfully recaptured most of the Fierce Ghost minions, and miraculously, only a few villagers sustained injuries, with no fatal incidents occurring.
Yao Qingxue's miraculous Awakened Ability was indeed invaluable.
However, all signs of everything going smoothly ended as he reclaid the Kitchen Knife Ghost he was most worried about. What it said caused Wu Liang to freeze in shock.
"Sorry, boss, I seed to have lost my mind and beca an ordinary Fierce Ghost that killed during that ti."
"How many people?"
"Ten."
Just as Wu Liang felt the situation might get bad and potentially lead the villagers into panic again, the Kitchen Knife Ghost's next sentence sent him into deep thought.
"But boss... those ten people seed to have already been dead before I killed them."
"!?"
