Chapter 1158: Chapter 1157: Going Ho Chapter 1158: Chapter 1157: Going Ho Han Dong did not interfere with Chen Li’s choice.
However, since Chen Li had already expressed her desire for Han Dong to co for her, if any ssenger dared to buzz around and interject, he’d throw a Node War application right in their face.
If soone really dared to accept it, Han Dong wouldn’t mind spending so ti to supplent his world with so resources.
Of course.
Five-star Mid-rank World was intimidating enough, let alone the fact that Han Dong was a shareholder of an Upper-tier World. The ssengers present all represented Middle-ranked Worlds coming to the Lower-tier World corresponding to the Yin Yang Road to recruit people.
No one dared to accept the planar war initiated by Han Dong.
Seeing the young man directly toss the war application over, and it involved the untouchable high-tier world, so ssengers were so frightened they quickly left.
So ssengers had keen eyesight, perceiving Han Dong’s uniqueness, and even through the aura emitted by Han Dong’s left arm, they accidentally traced the presence of an extrely terrible entity capable of destroying their world also here.
Scared out of their wits, they didn’t dare linger and quickly retreated.
Actually.
Han Dong himself was a bit surprised when he heard the prompt about the Node War… after all, Derry Town once belonged to a special Middle-rank World, and now the system notification had already reached a high-tier World.
“Has Derry Town successfully promoted? Why didn’t the mayor ntion this… But as a shareholder, I should also receive the notification from the Black Tower. Eight or nine out of ten, Derry Town has just completed the promotion, or is still in the process of promoting, but it’s basically confird that promotion has been successful.”
However, the most important thing at the mont was ‘picking up the person’. Han Dong quickly put aside other miscellaneous matters.
As one after another ssenger withdrew until the last world channel closed.
Han Dong continued to approach the woman.
When they were about a ter apart, the woman slowly raised a fine and pale arm, gesturing for Han Dong to take it.
Han Dong also deliberately used the left arm of the Headless to hold hers.
At the mont their fingers touched, both had fairly strong reactions.
Han Dong’s eyes widened. The contact felt both familiar and strange, the aura entwined at his fingertips indeed belonging to Chen Li, but it seed to conceal another presence.
At the sa ti.
Since Chen Li had changed her essence by “committing suicide to beco a ghost,”
the touch was also completely different, with a body woven from dense hair being more flexible and smooth.
On the other hand, the woman was startled to the point of nearly losing her composure when she touched Han Dong’s arm.
Even though she had completed the [Door], there was still a huge disparity between her and this arm. The resentnt contained in the arm of the Headless was not even on the sa level.
It even made the woman feel as if she were suddenly in the midst of an ancient battlefield littered with bones, causing her to wrap herself tightly in her hair.
Both of them almost simultaneously said, “You…”
“You go first,” Han Dong said politely, signaling the lady to speak first.
“Your arm… why is it different from what I rember? Where did it co from?”
Han Dong noticed the key words in this sentence [what I rember]; if it were normal, she should have said ‘why is it different from before’.
“A temporary borrowed arm, helping deal with so miscellaneous tasks. I sustained quite an injury in the main world, and was pressed for ti to borrow you from the Fate Space… only to borrow the arm of a big brother for use.”
“It’s strong, such resentnt isn’t sothing that can be achieved just by accumulating a quantity of it.”
The woman even wanted to reach out and touch the arm… For her, who had just turned into a ghost, such dense resentnt was like a top-level delicacy she had never seen before, inhaling it a bit more would feel utterly comfortable.
Of course, while drawing in this resentful aura, one would also be affected by a fear inherent to the Headless, it could be said to be reveling in fear.
At this mont, Han Dong asked, “Are you Chen Li?”
“I suppose so… I’m not too sure either…”
“Huh?”
This kind of answer left Han Dong very puzzled.
If soone had taken possession of Chen Li’s body and inherited the related mories, at a ti like this, they should have tried their best to disguise themselves using those mories, or they would have chosen a world willing to help her sever the master-servant bond at the very beginning, completely breaking ties with Han Dong, this dangerous person.
Such a vague reply made it unclear for Han Dong who the woman in front of him actually was.
Just then, the voice of a headless being echoed in Han Dong’s head:
“This is a very normal phenonon.
Taking such a thod to ‘open the gate’ inherently carries great risk.
During the period of suicide.
The resentful consciousness harbored in the hair would invade the main consciousness… Or it might be said that this kind of ntal erosion had already begun when she chose this path.
I’ve seen quite a few who enhanced themselves by fusing with and devouring other ghosts; the majority suffer from ‘split personality’, and so even develop multiple consciousnesses.
Looking at it now, the spirit of your minion is still quite strong… The individual consciousness barely holds the leading position.
What you need to do now is to slowly guide her, stabilizing the main consciousness in its ruling position, allowing her to recognize her self.
However, so changes in personality are inevitable.”
“I see…”
When Han Dong looked through with the Demon Eye, he indeed discovered a ss of resentful spirits wildly scurrying in the woman’s brain.
It seems Chen Li had chosen this extrely dangerous thod to keep up with Han Dong’s pace of progress.
While constantly absorbing other ghosts’ resentful spirits, their consciousnesses also got brought into her body, mixing with Chen Li’s, and over ti this left her state of mind rather chaotic… No wonder the master-servant bond had weakened.
Just as the headless had said.
What Han Dong needed to do was to guide.
“Miss Chen Li, let’s go.”
Han Dong took the woman’s hand and slowly headed towards the edge of the large pit.
“Chen… Chen Li… such a familiar na. Everyone here calls Hong… Yes, I should have a na too, was I originally called Chen Li?”
Scattered fragnts of mories began to surface, overshadowing the ones from living on the Yin Yang Road.
By the ti the woman ca back to her senses,
she was no longer in the big pit, nor in the world of the Yin Yang Road, but in the corridor of a prison.
A bald man covered in iron spikes was in a cell, waving to her, saying very amiably, “Welco ho.”
“To… Gu.” The na slipped out of the woman’s mouth unconsciously.
Under Han Dong’s lead, the woman arrived in front of the first cell.
Although called a ‘cell’, the interior could be altered according to the thoughts of the contained.
Gazing at the layout inside the cell that resembled a farmhouse bedroom, the woman no longer needed Han Dong’s guidance and walked in by herself.
As soon as she sat on the familiar bed,
Whoosh!
A grey, speckled tentacle grew out from the wall and connected to the back of her head… The ‘tentacle to brain’ insertion was not painful at all, instead, it gave her a feeling of returning ho as she drifted off to sleep in that state.
[The first contained has been reconnected, related attributes have changed, the level has reached ‘Ghost General (equivalent to Ancestor Return among demons)’]
