Chapter 435: Necromancer (1)

Mo Ze Chen didn't know how to react to this at first, but then he felt a cold chill run down his back as he had a feeling that this wasn't a good thing.

After this chill ran down his back, Mo Ze Chen immediately asked, "What special place are you talking about?"

In response to this, Lin Fan just revealed a smile without saying a thing.

But all that did was send another chill down Mo Ze Chen's back which made him quickly ask, "Boss, what's special about this place you're talking about?"

Lin Fan said with a faint smile, "You'll see soon."

Still, once again, this didn't comfort Mo Ze Chen at all. However, there was nothing that he could do since he had already committed to following Lin Fan.

That meant that even if it meant walking into death, at least he would have a chance to survive if he followed Lin Fan. After everything that Lin Fan had shown him, he already knew that Lin Fan definitely had some special connection to these ruins which gave him some kind of advantage here.

So when Lin Fan walked out of the room, Mo Ze Chen had no choice but to follow.

Still he had to admit that just with the puppets that Lin Fan controlled that had cleared the ghosts out of their way, it was more than worth it for him to follow Lin Fan.

Lin Fan led Mo Ze Chen through the halls in the north wing and each time Mo Ze Chen got his hopes up that they would be heading to another special room, he would always be let down. They would come so close to the room before turning in another direction.

With how close they came each time, it was almost as if Lin Fan was taunting Mo Ze Chen, but there was nothing he could do about it. He knew that the moment that he split off from Lin Fan, even if he somehow made his way through the ghosts in the hall without Lin Fan luring them away, it was impossible for him to defeat the ghosts in those rooms to get the ring.

But as they continued deeper into the right wing, Mo Ze Chen also felt a bad feeling.

After all, Mo Ze Chen had also memorized the map that they had found and knew which ways led to which rooms.

The path that they were currently taking was indeed leading them to a special place, but it was the one place that Mo Ze Chen didn't want to go right now.

This was the place that had the same concept as the principal's office in the school, this was the place where the final boss for this area would be. But Mo Ze Chen also could tell that the final boss here would be different from the school.

The ghosts that wandered these halls were already in the Embryo Soul Realm and the area bosses were in the Child Soul Realm, so what would the final boss be at?

At the very least, the final boss would be in the mid Child Soul Realm or even in the high Child Soul Realm.

While he knew that Lin Fan was strong enough to fight those in the low Child Soul Realm, he had also seen how Lin Fan always had to rest up to recover after fighting them. There was no doubt that it was draining for him to fight these Child Soul Realm ghosts, so it would definitely be hard for him to fight this final boss. He might not even be able to take a single hit from the final boss…

Each single step in the Child Soul Realm was like a ravine that was incomparably deep, it was just like the distance between heaven and hell. It would definitely be hard for Lin Fan to surpass this gap.

At the very least, if they gathered more golden glow from the area bosses, there was a chance for Lin Fan's golden glow to become stronger and give him a fighting chance. They still had time as far as Mo Ze Chen was concerned since there was still over five hours left…

But Lin Fan didn't care about any of this and headed straight to the final room.

This was a room all the way to the right of the right wing, in the most secluded place in the entire hospital.

Faust had been put here because everyone knew of how dangerous he was, so they had done their best to lock him away and forget about him. It was just too bad that he had found a way to convince all the other mental patients to follow him, which meant that he was definitely smart, even if he was crazy.

They made their way through the halls and with Brainy's puppets clearing out their path, there were no accidents at all as they smoothly came to the hall where Faust's room was located.

The first thing Lin Fan did was make sure to clear the entire surrounding area of ghosts while also creating a line of puppets that surrounded this area just in case there were any ghosts that wandered in. He wanted to make sure that there would be nothing that came to disturb him when he was fighting Faust.

They had already seen that there was a golden barrier around the door to Faust's room when they had first arrived, but Lin Fan didn't take the time to examine it at all since he was taking care of deploying the line of puppets. However, Mo Ze Chen wasn't occupied with this at all, so he had been at the door looking for a way to get in.

Of course, Lin Fan knew that there was a high chance that he wouldn't need to find the way to get in, rather he would be able to go in without having to clear the conditions that were placed on the door in the first place.

While searching, Mo Ze Chen had found a panel that was right by the door with ten different grooves in it that were placed in the shape of a circle. Looking at these various grooves, he saw that they were all in the shape of rings, which made him think of the glowing rings that he and Lin Fan had found after defeating the special ghosts.

Mo Ze Chen had been the one holding onto them since Lin Fan was too lazy to care about them, so he took them out and placed them into the grooves.

When he tried to place the first ring into the top groove, he found that he couldn't push it in no matter how he tried.

After giving it a few tries and even trying to use force, he gave up on the top groove and began with the second groove. It was the same result and he was unable to push the ring in at all.

However, he didn't give up and tried these rings with each of the grooves. Eventually, he finally got the ring into the fifth groove he tried and unlike before, there was no resistance at all as it slid right into the groove.

As soon as it slid into the groove, there was a faint golden glow that appeared around the ring that after glowing for a bit, entered right into Mo Ze Chen's body.

Mo Ze Chen could feel a slight warmth on his forehead and he knew that this must be the same phenomenon as when he touched the golden glowing rings. By putting them in the groove, there must have been some kind of golden glowing energy that was bestowed upon him.

Mo Ze Chen didn't hesitate to bring forth the second ring and tested it with all the different grooves, starting from the top until he finally pushed it into the seventh groove that he tried.

Just like with the first ring, the ring immediately let out a golden glow when it entered the groove which quickly entered Mo Ze Chen.

Mo Ze Chen didn't mind this as he continued studying the pattern that was in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Based on what he could remember, there had been ten files at the front desk…

There were also ten grooves in this pattern, which should mean…

If they wanted to open this barrier, it seemed like they would need to collect all ten rings and put them into the grooves of this pattern.

The moment this clicked in his mind, Mo Ze Chen was filled with happiness because this was exactly what he had wanted.

He wasn't sure if they would be able to defeat the boss that was inside, so he wanted to go around collecting the rings first just to make themselves stronger.

Now it seemed like there was no choice but to go and collect the rings.

Even if Lin Fan wanted to go in, there was a barrier blocking them, so of course they would have no choice.

Mo Ze Chen could feel the same aura from the barrier as he had felt from the special ghosts that they had fought. In fact, this aura was even stronger than the special ghosts, which meant that this barrier had to be stronger than them. At the very least, it should be a barrier in the mid Child Soul Realm.

No matter how strong Lin Fan was, he couldn't break through this barrier that was blocking their way.

But after Lin Fan finished putting up his detection line and came back over, he immediately proved Mo Ze Chen wrong.
