Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 4 Strengthening
"He's really gone... Tsk! He left so quickly, without even bothering to say goodbye to his old friend."

The raised hand stayed in the air for a long time, and finally he couldn't help but scratch his hair.

Yang Liu suppressed the inexplicable irritation in her heart and looked up at the golden light in front of her.

Compared with the golden light spots the size of sand that were left after the female ghost "became a Buddha", the remnants as big as mung beans in front of him can be called a "ball of light".

Yang Liu couldn't help but drool just by seeing this thing. Although she had the same feeling when she saw the golden spots before, the "appetite" she felt now was far greater than at any time before.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Liu stretched out his hand and grabbed the ball of light.

As soon as it made contact, the golden ball of light flew into Yang Liu's body like a young swallow flying into the forest.

A strong heat current erupted in an instant, and Yang Liu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and then she held back the moan that was almost about to come out.

But before he could enjoy it for long, he couldn't help but clench his teeth and groan.

The rapidly strengthened muscles and bones caused unbearable soreness, numbness and swelling, and Yang Liu felt that there was no place on her body that was not itchy.

I couldn't help but punch my thigh, but I was powerless against the numbness that penetrated deep into my bones.

Fortunately, this uncomfortable feeling came and went quickly. Before Yang Liu could take any action, he felt the soreness and swelling in his body recede like the tide, and was replaced by a full sense of strength.

"call……"

Yang Liu finally came to his senses after letting out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at his palm and thought for a while, then broke off a piece of gravel from the ground and squeezed it hard. With a slight "crunch" sound, he opened his hand and only a piece of debris remained on the palm.

After brushing off the powder on his hands, Yang Liu looked at his intact palms in disbelief.

The strengthening effect of the golden ball of light on the body is beyond imagination. Before today, even if he could crush concrete, it would not be as easy as it is now.

In Yang Liu's perception, what she had just crushed did not seem to be concrete, but loose lumps of soil.

It has been two and a half years since Yang Liu came to Japan. He has absorbed quite a few ghosts, and his physical fitness has long exceeded the limits of human beings.

Because he didn't want to attract attention and didn't have enough professional tools, Yang Liu couldn't grasp his physical fitness exactly and could only make a rough estimate.

But for testing purposes, he once secretly lifted someone else's commercial vehicle in the middle of the night.

So Yang Liu knew very well that even if he only counted the strength of his arms, he had already exceeded the "ton" level before this.

However, since last year, after physical fitness exceeded a certain limit, the strengthening effect that ordinary vengeful spirits could provide was rapidly weakened.

Although there was no detailed comparison, Yang Liu estimated that his strength increased by at least one third after absorbing the golden light ball.

And this is not the limit!

Gulu...

There was a slight rumbling sound from my stomach.

Not only did his hunger not subside, but it became stronger. But the difference was that this time it was real hunger.

Yang Liu touched her belly and found that the thick fat on her belly had disappeared, and she could feel her abdominal muscles through her clothes.

"Trouble..." In the dim alley, Yang Liu frowned, touched his limbs and torso through his clothes, and confirmed his current condition.

Not only did the fat in the abdomen disappear, but the fat reserves in the thighs, arms and even buttocks also disappeared, and even the face felt much thinner.

Before this, Yang Liu had tried his best to keep his body fat percentage at around 25%, but after this strengthening, his body fat percentage was close to the dangerous critical point of 3%.

This means that his strengthening this time is not over yet. After all, Yang Liu's ability only provides the "driving force" for strengthening and cannot create mass out of thin air.

In order to fully demonstrate the strengthening effect this time, he would have to supplement a large amount of nutrition to promote the growth of muscles, bones and even blood vessels and skin.

"The effect of this strengthening is a bit exaggerated..." Yang Liu rolled up his sleeves and observed his overly thin arms.

He had only experienced this once before, when he had just arrived in Japan and did not have a detailed understanding of his abilities. He was too excited and over-emphasized the consequences.

Yang Liu remembered it very clearly. He spent a week to "exorcise" all the ghosts around his house, which led to this consequence.

The gift left by Tanaka was even more exaggerated than he expected. It was not just a matter of quantity. The strengthening effect of the golden light ball seemed to be better than that of ordinary light spots.

"The difference in obsession? Or the difference in spirits?"

After all, this was Yang Liu’s first time exorcising evil spirits. The evil spirits she had encountered before were impossible to communicate with, so Yang Liu could only forcibly exorcise them but was unable to help them get rid of their obsession.

Looking at the broken game disc on the ground again, he was silent for a moment, then bent down and picked it up.

Then Yang Liu looked around and walked straight to a supermarket.

A moment later, Yang Liu came back here again. This time, in addition to the game disc with broken packaging, he also had a candle in his hand.

Arriving at the place where Tanaka last disappeared, Yang Liu found a sunken corner of the wall, squatted down and placed the game disc in the corner, then took out a lighter, lit a candle and placed it in front of the disc.

While arranging the incense, Yang Liu kept muttering: "I looked around but couldn't find any incense, so I'll just light a candle for you to use. But logically speaking, you have already become a Buddha, so you shouldn't need these things..."

He talked a lot until the thin candle was almost burned out. Then Yang Liu looked up at the sky which had already darkened completely.

"…Forget it, let's go home."

He blew out the candle that had only a base left, picked up the game disc and box, and squeezed them hard in his hands.

Click!

Listening to the sound of plastic breaking, Yang Liu turned the pieces around and crushed them again with an expressionless face.

After a few gestures, Yang Liu rubbed the fragments in his palms and kept rubbing them. His two palms were like millstones, grinding the fragments of game discs and plastic shells into crumbs.

In a rather uncivilized manner, he poured the debris into the sewer opening nearby to "destroy all traces" and also picked up the remains of the candle nearby and threw them in as well.

After searching around to make sure that she had not left anything behind, Yang Liu patted the non-existent dust on her body, stood up, and left the deserted dark alley.

Back on the busy street, Yang Liu pulled up the hood of her windbreaker and hid her face in the darkness.

Feeling hungry, he thought for a moment and turned to walk towards a self-service barbecue restaurant.
