Chapter 231: Chapter 231 [Spiritual Energy Subplot: Old Day Survivor] Completed
“What are you trying to do…” Sam exclaid in surprise.
He wanted to go out and drag Chen Ke back, but it was already too late. At this mont, Chen Ke, with a stride that recognized no one, had already gone too far.
Diana, supported by the survivors, approached the window display. She didn’t know what Chen Ke intended to do, but from his composed silhouette, it was evident that Chen Ke knew exactly what he was doing.
“Diana… should we… go out and help…” Sam asked uncertainly, grabbing the shotgun Chen Ke had left behind. His words clearly lacked conviction.
Bullets were useless against the monster; only an investigator’s Spiritual Ability Pistol or a Spiritual Ability User could fight them.
“Stay here and don’t move…” Diana calmly stated, as if she had guessed sothing.
“I want to help him; at least before I die, I can say I fought…” Sam mustered his courage.
“Stay in the store… Sam… Chen Ke doesn’t need your help…” Diana shook her head.
anwhile, Chen Ke was standing less than 50 ters away from the female ghost, with Ying Baiyi’s ashes at his feet.
“Heeheehee… where’s the sun…” the female ghost laughed creepily, swirling up from the ground, her limbs under the white robe as flexible as liquid.
Chen Ke felt the Sun Mark on his chest rotating, and sothing scorching seed to be erging from it. At the sa ti, the life countdown also indicated his lifespan was increasing at a rate of 2 hours per second.
He realized the female ghost was trying to absorb the forty-one distorted souls stored within him.
“I’m not your sun… Freak!” Chen Ke raised his right hand above his head, and a sudden blue glow emanated from his palm.
The glow solidified into a shape that Chen Ke could firmly grasp, akin to so strange crystal, which appeared to be a soul crystallized from a Skill.
Just like Jiu Lin had done, the crystal in his hand grew longer and thicker, quickly forming a gun.
“Holy shit! Chen Ke too…!” Sam exclaid from inside the store.
Next to him, Diana, whose brows had been furrowed, now relaxed with a smile, “Hmm… I knew it…”
Chen Ke wanted to settle the battle with one shot, supported by the life engine; he could invest any amount of lifespan into a Skill to increase its power.
However, firing the Crystal Gun once actually consud 5 hours of his lifespan! It seed to be an extrely powerful Skill!
Since it took 5 hours per shot, Chen Ke decided to go all in, investing 20 hours of his lifespan to quadruple the power of the Crystal Gun in his hand!
Chen Ke held his breath, channeling almost 90% of his lifespan as Spiritual Energy into the Crystal Gun in his hand.
The original 2 ters long and 4 centiters in diater blue crystal gun suddenly expanded to 8 ters in length, with the diater, apart from the part gripped by Chen Ke, thickening to that of a teenager’s forearm.
Although the gun had grown longer and thicker, its weight seed unchanged; it was almost weightless, and Chen Ke felt like he was holding a beam of light, which felt weird.
He fiercely hurled the Crystal Gun at the female ghost, like a blue beam of light, dragging a blue tail of Fla, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
A flash of white light, and in less than a second, the Crystal Gun had already flown in front of the female ghost, piercing it through completely, with green fluid splattering from front to back.
When everything was over, the female ghost’s corpse was blown against a nearby streetlamp by the massive inertia, leaving only a straight, round blue trajectory in front of Chen Ke.
After penetrating the female ghost, the Crystal Gun continued to fly straight ahead, puncturing holes in any vehicles and buildings in its path and leaving glowing scrape marks along the way…
“Is that… the Crystal Gun…? But it doesn’t feel like it…” Diana recognized the Skill, but from the way Chen Ke had thrown it, it wasn’t at all what a Crystal Gun should look like, and it was much more powerful than what a typical Spiritual Ability User possessed…
A ssage box popped up in front of Chen Ke.
“Soul acquired: Large Distorted Soul”
“Retrieve soul: small pieces of deford soul, small pieces of soul, … small pieces of soul”
This large one must be the female ghost’s soul … Although it’s an evil creature, its soul wasn’t any different, and the soul that was sucked away when the door opened was also taken back …
However, there are still a dozen or so small pieces of soul …
Chen Ke took a closer look, these souls weren’t deford and couldn’t be used to prolong life or open doors … they were essentially waste material. They might be the souls of ordinary people that the female ghost had absorbed before …
It seems she was sowhat similar to a contract demon, only weaker.
“Wow! Did Chen Ke actually … kill that thing!?” Sam clutched his head with both hands, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The remaining survivors, excited to see Chen Ke instantly kill the female ghost, cheered before quickly covering their mouths, afraid to attract other monsters.
Diana finally breathed a sigh of relief, initially thinking that even if Chen Ke were a Spiritual Ability User, it would be a tough fight, but unexpectedly, he had ended the battle in a matter of seconds.
No wonder Chen Ke was so calm, it turned out he was a Spiritual Ability User … and his ability seed to surpass that of a level 9 agent …
“The Crystal Gun he threw out … why is it so big …” Diana leaned against the display window, puzzled … could it be … he’s a superman …?
No … Diana shook her head, if Chen Ke were a superman, he could have easily said so, since she was an investigator from the Administration Bureau and would adhere to confidentiality.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she beca, with pains emanating from her abdominal wound. Diana frowned and had to close her eyes to endure it.
Suddenly, a sensation spread throughout her body, as if rescuing her from fatigue and pain. Diana felt lighter; her limbs no longer felt cold but instead, a warm sensation enveloped her.
How comfortable, without any worries, the agony also vanished in smoke, and the constant fear she had been holding onto suddenly he was forgotten. Diana only wanted to sleep soundly now.
Ying Baiyi’s clothes wrapped a heap of adult-sized red ashes, resembling a small pile of sand, from which Chen Ke pinched out three tiny Holy Relics diamonds.
One purple, one blue, and one orange.
The purple one must be the spear Ying Baiyi had used, the blue one was a spiked mace with Fla effects, and the orange one was the Blasphemous Dagger Chen Ke had given him.
He pocketed these diamonds and also added Ying Baiyi’s Spiritual Ability Pistol to his pouch, wondering if the Spiritual Guns from this world would be detected by the Administration Bureau of 2009. Chen Ke wanted to test it.
He stood up, summoned the Blasphemous Dagger in his hand, and with one hand in his pocket, slowly walked toward the small store. When Chen Ke pushed open the door of the store, everyone’s gaze at him changed completely.
Chen Ke imdiately crouched beside Diana; he saw Diana in severe pain, her abdon wound wrapped in bandages already soaked red with blood and patches of gauze on her chest fallen off, disclosing her fearful wound still bleeding profusely.
Their d kit and ammo pouches had been left by the fountain at the Administration Bureau hospital, leaving no tools to dress her wounds.
Diana’s face was pale, her body cold, and her breathing had beco very faint. No matter how much Chen Ke shook her, waking her seed impossible. It was already a miracle she had survived the severe injuries from the hotel attack. Her previous monts of alertness were just fleeting revivals; now, her life had reached …
Chen Ke pressed his thumb hard against Diana’s abdominal wound.
“Hiss!!! Ugh!! Uh!!” Diana cried out in pain, looking listlessly at Chen Ke, with a wry smile on her face.
“Make a wish, Diana, and don’t fall at the end of the story,” Chen Ke said with a smile.
“I want to eat … chocolate ice cream …” Diana murmured.
“The shops in Carefree City have all closed, Diana, we need to return to Opportunity City …” Chen Ke touched her cheek.
“Then let’s … go to Opportunity City … take there …” Diana said with a gentle voice.
Chen Ke pulled out the Blasphemous Dagger, gripping its blade, and threw it backward.
The Blasphemous Dagger traced an arc in the air, spinning toward the shelves, and just before hitting, a black Teleportation Gate appeared in front of it …
On the other side of the Teleportation Gate, the world wasn’t dark anymore but sunny, looking out onto a sunny afternoon apartnt with a Glock and several boxes of Fla 9mm bullets laid on the bed …
