I Have A Game Clone

153 The Evil Spirit Insect

The government’s underground city plan was grand. The underground complex took up a vast area and had all kinds of facilities.

To avoid being discovered by the evil spirits, and not knowing the specific situation of the evil spirit stronghold, Ning Shi did not dare to rashly investigate the buildings after losing the trail of the evil spirit assassin.

However, he was not in a hurry. Not only did he not stay in the underground city for long, but he also went back the same way he came. He stood guard near the crack in the rock wall where the evil spirit assassin had just entered.

Ning Shi believed that there would be more evil spirit assassins who would return.

!!

He waited for more than six hours at the crack in the rock wall, until three o’clock in the morning. Just as Ning Shi was about to give up and go back to school to think about it, another evil spirit assassin turned into light smoke and appeared at the foot of Green Dragon Mountain.

Just like before, the light smoke drifted into the crack in the rock wall.

This time, Ning Shi expanded his perception to the maximum and followed behind the light smoke.

After the light smoke entered the underground city, it didn’t stop but followed the construction project down.

Currently, the underground city project had reached the 16th underground floor. According to the official plan, the underground city would be built between the 15th and 30th floors according to the differences in the geological conditions of various places.

The ground near Green Dragon Mountain was solid, and the underground situation was not complicated. After the underground city was built to the 16th floor, it was still expanding.

Below the 16th floor, there were caves, rocks, and construction machinery everywhere.

At this time, the construction workers were all resting and the searchlights were off.

There was no sign of human habitation in the underground space, but it was dark, sealed, and gloomy.

The light smoke didn’t stop there. Instead, it found a wall of the cave, drilled through the wall, and continued to dive underground.

After Ning Shi carefully sensed the wall, he was shocked.

There was a secret door hidden in this wall!

Behind the secret door, there was a wide elevator!

Ning Shi didn’t start the elevator but walked down in the form of smoke-like the light smoke.

Following the elevator, Ning Shi dived about 30 meters down and came to a spacious and bright Hall.

The hall was a square pothole with walls on all four sides and stone bricks under his feet. Above him was a white ceiling with hidden circuits on the ceiling and walls.

The buildings in the hall were even more luxurious than the official dungeons. It was secretly built by the people controlled by evil spirits.

In the middle of the hall, there was a building that looked like an altar.

It was a platform that was five meters tall and three meters wide. There were two round stone pillars on the left and right of the platform, and the stone pillars were carved with various monster patterns.

Ning Shi only recognized one of these monsters, which was the evil spirit assassin holding a scimitar in each hand.

In the middle of the stone pillar, there was a strange container that looked like a cauldron.

The evil spirit assassin turned into a wisp of smoke. After entering the hall, it threw itself into the strange container and disappeared.

At this moment, the hall was as bright as day. A group of people lay sprawled on the ground around an altar. Their mouths were crooked and they looked crazy.

Around them, bottles were scattered on the ground.

Ning Shi sensed a familiar face, He Chuankun.

Since He Chuankun was here, it was very likely that the other members of the He family were also among this group of people.

This group of people had just drunk some Exhilarating Coke. Ning Shi was just about to investigate when he saw this group of people stand up.

Some of them began to convulse, some began to jump crazily, and some beat their chests.

Following these strange actions, they let out all kinds of roars.

For a time, the hall was filled with wails and howls, and demons were dancing wildly.

These people collectively fell into madness. In Ning Shi’s perception, red energy was emitted from each of them and absorbed by the strange container in the middle of the altar.

Ning Shi understood that this altar should have been built by evil spirits to absorb emotions.

These people were probably voluntarily taking the Exhilarating Coke and contributing their emotions to the altar.

After absorbing the red energy, the container began to emit a green light. The emotions contributed by this group of people were like fuel, awakening the power of the strange container.

The green light around the container grew brighter and brighter, and the container itself began to shake.

After a short while, countless red light spots emerged from the void in all directions and were absorbed by the container.

Sensing this, Ning Shi understood. The strange container on the altar was collecting the panic caused by the evil spirit murders in Donglin City and even the entire Yunmeng Kingdom.

These red dots of light represented emotions.

Ning Shi followed the evil spirit assassin in and happened to see the evil spirit activating the emotion-gathering ritual.

Ning Shi carefully sensed around. In this Hall, other than the strange sacrificial altar, there were no evil spirits.

“It seems that this altar doesn’t only have the function of collecting emotions. It’s also a channel for evil spirits to connect to Donglin City and even Yunmeng Kingdom. I can’t sense the existence of the evil spirit assassins. They should have returned to the Evil Spirit World or other strongholds of the Evil Spirit through the altar.

Ning Shi thought to himself and used the Eye of Truth on He Chuankun, who was still shouting.

[ Eye of truth activated. Target: He Chuankun, comparison of the host’s and the target’s spiritual energy: 30/36. All information is available. ]

[ Character: He Chuankun ]

[ Physique: 28 (parasitic evil spirit insect, upper limit 40) ]

[ Mentality: 30 (parasitic evil spirit insect, upper limit: 40) ]

[ Face value: 3 (a face that even money can not save) ]

[ Family background: 8 (the family of the richest man) ]

[ Occupation: None ]

[ Skills: Puppetry Level 5, close combat Level 5, hypnotism Level 4 ]

...

[ Talent: Transform into an evil spirit (gold) ]

[ Description: A pitiful person who has lost himself after being parasitized by an evil spirit insect. ]

Ning Shi was shocked when he saw He Chuankun’s information.

A new type of evil spirit creature had appeared, the evil spirit insect!

Based on He Chuankun’s information, he deduced that the evil spirit insect could control other living beings.

After parasitism, the body of the host would be greatly enhanced.

Ning Shi had read He Chuankun’s information before. He was an ordinary person who had not awakened. After being parasitized by the evil spirit insect, his physical fitness was close to that of a Tier 8 awakener.

Ning Shi held back his shock and used the Eye of Truth on the people around He Chuankun.

He found that they were all infected by the evil spirit insect.

There were more than a hundred people in the hall, all of whom had been parasitized by the evil spirit insects!

If the number of evil spirit insects was large enough and they could silently parasitize, how could the humans of Saturn resist?

...

Ning Shi was eager to know the characteristics and information of the evil spirit insect, so he asked the game system in his mind.

“I can now sense the human being that the evil spirit insect has parasitized. Can the system capture the specific information of the evil spirit insect?”

“If you want to sense the specific information of the evil spirit insect, please kill the human that it’s parasitizing and force the evil spirit insect out of the host’s body.

[To avoid unnecessary trouble, it is recommended that the host destroy the altar first and cut off the connection between this place and the Evil Spirit World. Then, kill the parasite. ]

After receiving the game system’s reply and prompt, Ning Shi no longer concealed his identity and directly transformed back into his original form. The thunderous battle sword instantly appeared in his hand, and he slashed at the strange container in the middle of the altar with all his strength.

The sword intent was piercingly cold, and the sword energy slashed.

The strange container let out a sound like an animal’s scream, and then turned into powder under the sword energy.

Ning Shi’s long knife did not stop and continued to cut toward the platform, but he found that his knife cut empty air.

It turned out that after the vessel was destroyed, the entire altar had self-destructed with a crack.

As soon as Ning Shi appeared, the parasites controlled by the evil spirit insects woke up one by one. They made unknown hisses and attacked Ning Shi from all directions.

These people had been parasitized, and from a human’s point of view, they were already dead. Ning Shi would not be merciful.

He adhered to the principle of giving his all. After he withdrew his long sword, he brandished it from left to right and then back in a full circle.

Suddenly, a wave of sword energy spread out with Ning Shi’s body as the center.

The parasites that surrounded Ning Shi were like fragile glass. When they were touched by the sword energy, their bodies broke into pieces.

Broken limbs and flesh flew everywhere, blood splattered everywhere, and the hall was instantly filled with blood.

Ning Shi didn’t care at all, because after he killed the parasites, tiny evil spirit insects came out of them.

The evil spirit insects could hide like the evil spirit assassins. If Ning Shi did not have the Eye of Truth, he would not have been able to see them.

These insects were the size of flies. Their bodies were oval, and their skin was wrinkled and light green. Their heads were sharp and triangular.

On its head, there was a row of thin and long tentacles.

After leaving the parasite body, these bugs did not think of attacking Ning Shi but fled in all directions like mice seeing a cat.

To humans, the parasitic abilities of these evil spirit insects were like that of demons. How could Ning Shi let them escape?

A sea-like Baleful Qi was released from Ning Shi’s body.

After leaving their hosts, the evil spirit insects did not have much combat power. When they were hit by the Baleful Qi, they exploded in the air like fireworks.
