RNP 115. He went to jail.
115. He went to jail.
In his Qi Observation Technique, the gray negative energy attached to Wang Hao had completely dissipated.
At the same time, the energy light representing his vital signs was also rapidly dimming, and his essence, energy, and spirit were all dissipating.
He's not far from death. Even if he's sent to the ICU now, it will only prolong his life for a few more days, a waste of resources.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly; this was the first time he had encountered a situation where a spirit possessed him.
When a spirit possesses a host and the two become one, if the spirit is destroyed, the host will also die simultaneously due to severe damage to their soul.
Legally speaking, this is considered a natural death, which is much cleaner than having your own hands twist his neck.
This seems to be the best possible outcome!
Just as Jiang Chen was about to leave, the appearance of a figure made him stop in his tracks.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a little girl stood quietly under a streetlamp, observing all of this.
She looked to be only about ten years old, dressed in an elaborate Gothic black dress, with pale skin, holding a rag doll of the same style, and a pair of blood-red eyes.
Who else could this be but Luo Zhen?
How did she end up here?
Luo Zhen is the spirit of Attorney Luo. Since she is here, where is Attorney Luo?
Since the battle of Dog Head Ridge, Attorney Luo has completely disappeared without a trace, and there has been no news of him since.
The last time Cat Master appeared, Jiang Chen forgot to ask, and he never expected that this forgetfulness would last for eight months.
Could it be that Attorney Luo didn't dare to come to see me because he hadn't completely eliminated the Blood Coral Tai Sui after the Evil-Slaying Technique, and was afraid that I would seek his help for after-sales service?
Although I had this idea and wanted Attorney Luo to try again.
As Jiang Chen was thinking this, Luo Zhen took short steps and walked to Wang Hao's corpse.
Then, she reached out her small hand and inserted it into Wang Hao's chest.
A semi-transparent, distorted, and struggling phantom figure was pulled out from Wang Hao's body.
That was Wang Hao's soul.
Luo Zhen kneaded the clump of soul like dough, shaping it into a small ball, and then popped it into his mouth and ate it in one bite.
"Crunch... crunch..."
With a crisp, crunchy sound, like chewing on ice, she chewed up Wang Hao's soul like a snack and then swallowed it.
Jiang Chen knew that Luo Zhen could eat souls; the fastest way for spirits to grow was through mutual absorption and replenishment of each other's essence.
Of course, there are many drawbacks, but Lawyer Luo's spirit pattern allows Luo Zhen to filter out the drawbacks when consuming the souls of sinners, so there is no need to worry about side effects.
So when she devoured Wang Hao's soul, Jiang Chen simply watched without interfering.
Luo Zhen raised her head and met Jiang Chen's gaze. Before this, her blood-red eyes seemed lifeless to Jiang Chen.
So when he first met Luo Zhen, he had the illusion that he was seeing a rag doll.
If she didn't move, he would have really thought she was a highly realistic lifelike doll.
But now, when Jiang Chen looked into her eyes, he could sense that there was a spark in her eyes, but her expression was still blank, and she still seemed to have some intellectual disability.
"He is guilty and deserves to die."
"He awakened his spirit due to the pressure of life. After the awakening, he raped and killed his landlady and several female tenants in the neighborhood."
"He has already succumbed to his own desires. Even if you don't kill him, he will soon be devoured by the chameleon spirit he has created and become nourishment for the chameleon spirit."
This is the biggest difference between an awakened person and a practitioner. Most awakened people are awakened because of negative emotions, unless you have the mental willpower of Lawyer Luo and a clear goal to ensure that you are not dominated by negative emotions.
They will not succumb to the temptation of possessing extraordinary power and easily satisfying their desires, otherwise they will fall into the abyss step by step.
Lawyer Luo is a minority; Wang Hao is the majority. They are consumed by desire, and their desires become nourishment for their spirits. When the spirits become powerful enough, they can devour their hosts and exist independently as evil spirits or malevolent spirits.
Jiang Chen had researched this subject before, but this was the first time he had come across it. However, what surprised him the most was Luo Zhen himself.
"You can actually talk."
Although Luo Zhen is very capable, she was used as a weapon when she was with Lawyer Luo.
Often, it was a puppet that obeyed commands, far less intelligent than it is now, and it would even engage in dialogue with him.
Luo Zhen nodded stiffly, then said with a hint of pride, "Yes, I've grown."
"Where's Attorney Luo? I haven't seen him anywhere." Jiang Chen pressed.
"He went to jail."
Luo Zhen's tone was very calm, probably because in her worldview, going to jail and going home were not much different.
Jiang Chen: ʕ•(．ŏ_ŏ)︿づ
He was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but complain to himself, "Do you have some kind of special fetish? Are you addicted to being in jail? You've only been out for a short time and you've already gotten yourself back in."
"So now the situation is that you yourself have come out to find sinful souls and hunt for food."
Luo Zhen nodded. "He said I've grown up and can be independent now. A good independent child should learn to find food on their own."
Well, perhaps this is how Attorney Luo cultivates his spirit; I won't comment further on his lack of spirit.
He wanted to ask more details, such as why Lawyer Luo was arrested this time, but the Blood Coral Tai Sui inside his body was already stirring.
He had been away from the bar for too long and had to get back immediately, or he didn't know what might happen.
Jiang Chen quickly said goodbye to Luo Zhen, asking her to give her regards to Lawyer Luo, and then turned to leave.
However, just as he looked up to determine his direction, he stopped again.
He used his Qi-gazing technique to look in the direction Wang Hao had fled to—the area known as the urban village.
Above the chaotic, densely packed buildings, a huge, thick, gray cloud, like a dark cloud, was gathering and shrouding the area.
A massive amount of negative emotions converged, with despair, pain, resentment, madness... all intertwined, almost becoming tangible.
Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks, not only because of the sheer size of the cloud of negative emotions, but also because he sensed something within it that did not belong to negative emotions.
How can I describe that thing? It's divine.
Yes, it is divinity.
But how do negative emotions and divinity, two completely unrelated things, come together?
Jiang Chen couldn't figure it out, but judging from the current situation, something was probably brewing in that urban village.
However, Jiang Chen was currently in dire straits, unable to protect himself, and unable to investigate further. Getting to the bar as quickly as possible was the most urgent task.
