"Zhang Shaowu, I didn't come this way when I came here, did you take the wrong way?" Zhang Shaowu did not answer me, he was only driving, and I thought he did not hear me, so I asked him again.
But this time he didn't answer, and I felt something was wrong. I got up from the back seat and pushed him. Why aren't you saying anything? "
Zhang Shaowu suddenly turned his head to look at me and laughed: "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to come out. How would I even be able to thank you for that?"
"What did you say?" Why can't I understand a single word? " Weird, what's wrong with Zhang Shaowu, what's wrong with him? It feels weird when he speaks, he can't be possessed, right?
Thinking about that, I suddenly patted him and loudly called out his name. Sure enough, Zhang Shaowu's expression clearly paused for a bit, but it only took a second to recover back to normal.
This made me even more certain that he was possessed. I remembered that when I was young, my grandfather told me that when a person has a ghost body, they would say something they originally couldn't say. The only way to distinguish if a person has a ghost body is to suddenly pat him and then shout out his name.
If there was no hesitation, then it would mean that the person in front of him was not Zhang Shaowu at all. Thinking about it, I gathered spirit energy in my hands and made a gesture of attack towards him. "Who exactly are you, quickly come out of Zhang Shaowu's body, or else I'll be rude to you."
Zhang Shaowu, who was wearing a ghostly body, laughed, "I didn't think you would see through it so quickly. I wanted to play a bit more, but do you think you can pose any threat to me? I can even get on this man's body, what do you think you are? If I want to kill you, will I still let you live until now? My goal is the next King of Hell, and you, as a Spirit Master, are a little interesting. If you agree to cooperate with me, I'll let this man go, what do you say? "
Damn, this ghost's ambition is not small, to actually want to take over the position of the King of Hell, I think he must be crazy to be an official, but what he said is right, Zhang Shaowu is way stronger than me, but to be possessed by this ghost, this ghost is definitely not simple, I have to think of a way to get him out of Zhang Shaowu's body first.
"Can you stop the car first? This is very dangerous, don't you know?" Zhang Shaowu who was possessed by a ghost was still looking at me with a mischievous smile. The back of his head facing forward seemed to have eyes at the back of his head, yet there actually wasn't any traffic accidents, and he was driving in a strange manner.
Although he is still on Zhang Shaowu's body, but using Zhang Shaowu's body to do such a strange thing, it is still hard for me to accept. After all, Zhang Shaowu was a human, how could he do something so strange?
The ghost in Zhang Shaowu's body chuckled, then suddenly stopped the car. Being caught unprepared, I directly crashed into the front seat, the pain making me want to curse out loud.
But I don't dare to offend him now, what if I provoke him and hurt Zhang Shaowu? I have no choice but to follow along with him, as long as we can get him to get off Zhang Shangwu's body, I don't believe that the two of us won't be able to beat him.
"What are your thoughts? Do you want to cooperate with me?"
"Can you get away from him first? Even if you want to cooperate, you need to have sincerity, right? You have to show me your true appearance, if you don't have sincerity, then I think that it's unnecessary for us to cooperate, you not killing me for so long must be because I have some sort of power that you want, you choosing to possess Zhang Shaowu's body instead of me because I'm not like ordinary Spirit Master. I'm sure it's because you need some power from me to choose to come and find me, right?"
If he could attach himself to me, he would have already done so. However, he chose to follow Zhang Shaowu, which means that it's definitely because there's something on my body that prevents him from possessing me.
"Not bad, not bad. You're right. Not only do you have what I want on you, you're also smart. I really like that, but sometimes it's not a good thing to be too smart." While speaking, a purple mist floated out from Zhang Shaowu's body, and gradually turned into a shadow.
The shadow's body was very blurry, but its eyes that were as big as copper bells were abnormally bright as they locked onto me without moving. I, who was stared at by him, gulped. What is this? Why is my body so blurry?
Zhang Shaowu immediately fainted after being dismembered, the purple figure stared at me with his large eyes and said.
I wanted to escape from this place for a very long time, and I haven't been able to find an opportunity to do so, but with you here, I found an opportunity. Although I can't attach myself to you, I can still attach myself to your body, and with your protection, the barrier around the Illusory Forest will be useless to me.
"Eh." At this moment, I don't know what to say anymore. What's the meaning of owing me a favor? Could it be that he wants to repay me this favor in the future?
Are you kidding me? Is this ghost's brain so funny? Probably because what I thought in my heart was already expressed on my face, that Phantom smiled even more happily.
Let me tell you this, our Phantom does not belong to ghosts. The forest in the Fantasy Forest can only be used to trap ghosts, you must really want to know why I am trapped in the forest even though I am not a ghost, right? "
That Phantom didn't seem to notice my surprised gaze and just continued, "Our Phantom doesn't have a real form, but has gathered into one that I like. That Green Faced Ghost King took a fancy to me and created illusions that lured me into this forest, and sealed me with some unknown seal, to the point that it seemed like he wanted me to be imprisoned by his side. But Green Faced Ghost King seemed to be interested in me and made me look like he liked me every day, so I had to lower my head to escape the forest. There was an unknown force behind you that attracted me, so I tried to attach myself onto your body. I didn't think that you would actually be able to bring me out of the Fantasy Forest. "
After listening to Phantom's words, I pondered for a moment. Since there's something on me that can be used by him, he shouldn't be harming me for now. But how could I let him leave Zhang Shaowu's body?
I have no chance of winning. Moreover, I brought along a endosperm with me, so I have to go back and save Zhang Ziyuan, who is still waiting for me.
"Spirit Master, since you've already helped me out, do me another favor, I guarantee that I will safely send you and your friend back home, how about it?"
I didn't notice that while we were talking, we were driving to a very remote place.
This place was extremely desolate. Large areas of grass were withered and died, revealing the soil underneath. At first glance, there was not a single trace of life. The color of the soil here was also very strange. It was not yellow, but it was black. However, it was not pure black, and there was even some gray mixed in.
I feel a little unwell and don't want to stay here. But Phantom got out of the car and went around a patch of grass.
I had no choice but to get out of the car and follow him.
He moved left and right, coming to the side of a pond.
It was obvious from one look that this was a pool of stagnant water. The water did not fluctuate too much and was extremely calm. I looked down. The water wasn't dirty, but I couldn't see what was down there. It was misty.
Phantom then chanted an unknown incantation, and a huge whirlpool appeared in the middle of the pond. The water was rolled into the center of the pond, and was suffused with a faint purple glow. Not long later, all the water in the pond had actually disappeared!
The bottom of the pond is actually covered with a floor similar to crystal. It turns out that the reason why I couldn't see what is underneath the pond was because the floor reflected light, creating a blind spot in my field of vision.
In the middle of the pond was a coffin!
The coffin was not made of wood, but bronze. As a result of being immersed in water for many years, the bronze had become extremely rotten and rusted. There were also a lot of black aquatic plants and algae stuck at the corners of the bronze. However, if one looked closely, they would be able to see that the coffin was carved with fine lines.
What kind of person spent so much effort to find such a place for him to rest for a long time? This area was lifeless, and it was hard for people to not pry into the secrets at the bottom of the lake.
The Phantom floated straight to the center, his speed was extremely fast, and I had to use a jog to barely keep up with him.
The coffin had been opened.
Phantom stopped one meter away from the coffin, and I did the same. But at first glance I saw traces of movement on the lid of the coffin.
I also didn't know what the Phantom was up to. I stole a glance at him, but I discovered that he was in an abnormal mood. His entire body was already a little red, as though he was trying hard to suppress his grief and anger.
Spirit Master, help me open this. There is a hollowed-out walnut inside, take it out and give it to me. Phantom's voice was a little more sorrowful. Although he used the word 'gang', he didn't mean to ask for my help at all.
So I had to bite the bullet.
