Chapter 85: Chapter 0085: Tracing (Seeking Collections! Recommendations!)

Su Lu arrived at a graveyard.

He had scoped out this area in the past few days and found it rich in spiritual resources, and thus, a probable hangout for the beak monster.

In the physical world, a faint ripple seemed to flutter in the darkness of the void.

Su Lu’s spiritual body returned from the spirit world, observing his surroundings.

Above various tombstones, occasionally, a wisp of green flame could be spotted, representing wandering souls.

Upon a closer look, the graves appeared to be new, as if they had just been excavated.

That was a bit awkward.

The incident with the highest death toll in Posey Port recently was the fire at Kira Apartment, which was related to Su Lu.

It was highly probable that this was the burial ground for the group of gang enforcers and the victims of that incident.

Although some spirits were already destroyed in the combat, there were always survivors.

“And moreover… the fresh scent of death could easily attract nearby spirits…” Su Lu went into hiding, lowering his presence to a minimum.

Otherwise, his powerful ‘existence’ was enough to drive away general wandering souls.

“I don’t understand how spiritual bodies can hide and become invisible to each other.”

Time trickled by.

Just as Su Lu was becoming impatient and considering leaving…

Suddenly.

The spirits in the graveyard seemed to be summoned, shifting in a certain direction!

“Huh?”

Su Lu was instantly spirited and quietly followed.

Not too far ahead, he saw a beak monster!

The creature exuded a weak presence, its form frail. It was swallowing the nearby unconscious wandering souls with its beak wide open.

Swish!

As it devoured soul after soul, it quickly filled out, the figure under its black robe swelling into the form that Su Lu had previously encountered. “So… it’s in the process of remaking itself because its underlings were wiped out?”

Su Lu glanced and immediately understood the situation.

The possessed by the evil spirit had the ability to create beak monsters. After the previous battle, he had likely depleted his resources and was now restocking.

As for why didn’t he scavenge for spiritual resources from the spirit world? Perhaps he lacked the ability to transport a large number of spirits from the spirit world, or perhaps it was taboo in the spirit world!

“He really has a big head… but… it’s just a puppet, there’s no real loss if it takes risks… not to mention, the official professionals here may not even have the ability to track in the spirit world!”

Su Lu sneered.

At this moment, as a [Mystical Scholar], he could easily capture him in the spirit world!

Thinking this, he glanced around, did not hesitate any longer, and immediately took action.

“Spirit Oppression!”

As soon as he appeared, he employed his power, rolling out a fearsome oppression.

Thud!

In the next instant, the beak monster exploded right where it stood, shattering like an egg.

Not only that, but some unconscious wandering souls were also instantly obliterated.

“I have become so powerful without even realizing it?”

Su Lu looked at his attributes, which were as high as 4.0, and spoke to himself.

This creature, which used to be a nuisance to him, was now so feeble under his spirit oppression.

Being freshly minted and weak might be a factor, but his progress over this period was undeniable.

[XP+25]

An expected experience value popped up, followed by sparser [XP+5] and [XP+IO]. This was experience points earned from clearing some wandering souls.

“Compared to before, it has fallen by nearly half?”

Su Lu sighed.

Meanwhile, he strode forward and reached out with his hand!

From the void came a sudden scream, and he directly caught a slightly distorted face.

The captured spirit had a pair of crimson eyes dazzling on a foggy half face, shrieking, “Are you the one who took Kira that night?”

Although it had seen Su Lu’s true form before in the graveyard and the meat factory, Su Lu had not been wearing a mask at the time, and he wasn’t as strong as he was now. Therefore, it didn’t recognize him as the person who kept wrecking its plans!

“Split spirit? This is not your ability… is it the power you have to manipulate that evil spirit?”

Su Lu examined it with his inspiration and found the state of the spirit in his hand to be quite strange.

It was indeed a fragment of a split soul!

This spirit possessed by an evil spirit had astonishingly split his soul into many pieces, each taking residence in a beak monster!

This soul-splitting technique was not only ruthlessly dangerous in its process, but it also left severe aftermaths. Basically, every single spirit fragment suffered from split personality disorder.

Of course, there were certain advantages to doing this.

For instance, possessing the capability similar to that of a clone, and even achieving a certain degree of ‘resurrection’ even if the main body perished.

Regardless, whether this uncanny ‘way of living’ was the previous person is a question in itself.

“It feels similar to a lich’s phylactery, no, it should be a Horcrux, right? What a madman.”

Su Lu sealed the mouth of the soul fragment and brought it into the spirit world.

Immediately, he released his grip lightly, and his inspiration enveloped it, restraining the fragment’s resistance.

The connection between the fragment and its main body began to appear, guiding him on his way.

‘If there is no subjective consciousness controlling it, this split soul fragment will instinctively seek out its companions or its main body… among which, the attraction of the main body is the strongest!’

Su Lu carefully detected the attraction and smiled as he found only one lead, “Looks like your underlings have suffered heavy casualties, and there’s only one beak monster left at the moment? The place you’re going to now is where your main body is, huh?”

From the fragment, a wave of fear spread uncontrollably.

In fact, the condition of the possessed by the evil spirit must not be good at this moment.

Su Lu was headed there now, merely intending to take advantage of the situation.

Following the pull from the soul fragment, Su Lu arrived at a farm.

He returned to the physical world, his brow furrowing slightly, “This should also be one of Gerald’s properties, right? Hiding here, is he planning a bloody ritual, or is he intending to use something?”

At this point, Su Lu feared nothing. He released the soul fragment from his hand.

As soon as the constraint was lifted, the fragment turned into a stream of light, shooting straight into a room in the farm.

Immediately after, a sharp scream emitted from there, “It’s you!”

“It looks like… there’s another drawback to this soul-splitting technique. The soul fragments and the main body cannot maintain real-time contact? Does it need to return to share information?”

“Spirit Oppression!”

He sneered, unleashing the horrifying force of oppression. Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was the sound of many heavy objects falling around.

They were Gerald’s ordinary subordinates, now all unconscious due to the terrifying oppressive power exerted on their souls.

Su Lu’s inspiration swelled, and he spotted the possessed by the evil spirit.

His body was decaying, while his crimson pupils looked straight at him.

On him, there was also a faint and blurry shadow, which was the parasitic second-order evil spirit that he commanded!

“Tsk tsk… Due to your injuries, your already dying body is on the verge of collapsing now…”

Su Lu sneered, feeling that even if he hadn’t come, this spirit possessed by an evil spirit wouldn’t have survived for two more days..
