Chapter 148 The Secret of Ghostly Spirits
——What exactly happened?
My head feels like it's about to explode.

Ayaka gasped violently, she found that she was still alive.

She was almost on the verge of death. It was a terrible pain as if her heart was strangled and she couldn't breathe.

Her hands and feet were cold, her whole body was weak and unable to move. The pain made her eyes turn white, and the blood and energy were almost completely drained from her head. The sense of her surroundings became distant.

In that state, she was in a trance with a feeling of pleasure.

However, that state was broken——

She is not dead.

However, she couldn't understand everything that happened afterwards.

Ayaka tried to organize her thoughts.

She speculated that she and Baijie were being targeted by the fox girl.

The other party bypassed the barrier, invaded, and clashed with Baijie.

As a result, Baijie was manipulated by the other party and suddenly turned into that strange posture.

"Did he...turn into a monster?"

Ayaka shuddered as she recalled the image of herself covered in strange-shaped armor.

For some unknown reason, Baijie seemed to have lost his mind and was about to attack her.

Ayaka was strangled by him and almost died of suffocation.

Just when she was about to lose her will, she vaguely heard an angry roar, and then she fell to the ground, and Baijie, who was wearing alien armor, disappeared.

"very scary!"

Ayaka recalled the memory of being strangled by the other party before, and a chill immediately surged through her body. Fear was like a piece of cotton wrapped around her heart, making her body unable to obey her commands.

It took her half a day to cheer herself up.

"I don't know where the person has gone... What should I do?"

Ayaka looked at the ground, where there was only a pool of blood.

"There was a lot of blood."

She thought it must be the man's blood.

...Is it because of me?

"—Did you become like that just to protect me?"

'That's right.'

Suddenly, a strange voice came.

"That's the power of the demon treasure Fengmawan... It seems that the demon king's power was transferred to that man, and he was infected by the demonic energy that is even more ferocious than the demonic energy, which led to his appearance."

"you?"

Ayaka looked around in surprise, but there was nothing around her.

"Here I am, there is a waist bag on the ground. Open it for me, there is a bottle inside."

Following the voice's instructions, she found Baijie's waist bag and took out a glass bottle from it.

There was a strange thing in the bottle. It was a transparent jellyfish-like core-shaped object stuck in the bottle.

"Yes, you are talking to me."

Ayaka remembered that this should be the King Sigala who was defeated before. No, it should be the monster that was parasitic on King Sigala.

'That's right.'

The jellyfish in the bottle spoke to her telepathically.

"That man, must have become like that to help you? Aren't you going to do anything?"

"I."

Ayaka was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Girl, give me your body, I will help you save people."

The jellyfish said this shamelessly.

"that……"

Ayaka sighed, "Do you think I'm a fool? Ayaka, how could I possibly give my body to a monster like you?"

She added.

"Besides, I come from a family of demon exorcists. You don't think I would believe what monsters say, do you?"

'So, what are you going to do?'

The jellyfish asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"This is an underground cave filled with various monsters. Reinforcements have not arrived yet. Without that man's protection, do you think you can survive?"

"Besides, the previous battle also destroyed the barrier here. In this dangerous environment, how long can you last, little girl? Those monsters underground will catch you soon."

"Don't expect anyone to help you. That man has been corrupted by the spirit of a ghost and is now insane. The depth of this underground cave is unknown. Without a guide or someone familiar with the route, you will never be found even if you die."

Hearing this, Ayaka felt a terrible chill. She subconsciously hugged her shoulders tightly and fell into a state of panic.

——Yes, the threat in this sentence is not false.

She didn't know where she fell, nor did she know when rescue would arrive. There was no food here, it was extremely cold, and there were monsters like frog monsters.

Ayaka knew very well that she couldn't survive in such a chaotic underground cave by herself. "You, you have a point... but I can't believe you."

"Then let's take a step back..."

The jellyfish swayed slightly in the glass bottle.

"Just give me that man's body. Actually, it's not easy to save him if he's been so severely affected by the demonic energy... But I have a way to help him escape that state."

"Even if you say so, how can I do it?"

Ayaka asked back in confusion.

"Just let me parasitize him. I can absorb the ghost energy and help that man out of trouble."

The jellyfish explained.

"Actually, it's easier than you think. All I need is to get access to his body... By the way, before that, I need a body. It would be best if I could get a body, like one of those giant frogs."

"Suppose I find you a frog demon's body and let you parasitize it. If you take over the frog demon's body, won't you immediately attack me and kill me?"

Ayaka shook her head.

"How can I agree to such a request?"

'This is easy.'

The jellyfish continued, "I am a parasitic demon. My true form is the jellyfish you see. I am a subspecies of Yanyanluo... My true form is very fragile. Even an ordinary person can kill me."

"Next, I will split myself into two parts and use them to control the frog. You can continue to hold my body in the bottle. If you judge that I have any ill intentions, you can crush the bottle and kill my body. Then I will be dead."

"That sounds reasonable."

Ayaka gave a suspicious look.

"But I guess you have other plans."

'You can also choose to do nothing. The choice is entirely yours.'

The jellyfish waved its threadlike tentacles.

"However, I still intend to do you a small favor, as a personal favor... Note that the man left behind a lot of valuable items in his waist bag, such as invisibility charms, barrier charms, substitution charms, and talismans for creating illusions."

Ayaka picked up the heavy waist bag and reached into it to pull out a stack of talismans. In addition, there seemed to be flash bombs, smoke bombs, and some bottles and jars.

"Although these things can be effective, I didn't use their spiritual power. I'm not an exorcist, and I don't have the qualities in that area."

She bit her lip.

'No. '

The parasitic demon said slowly.

"You may not have noticed, but you are not without spiritual power... In your bloodline, your parents must have been exorcists. In your case, your spiritual power did not awaken in childhood, and since then, without any training, it has remained stagnant."

Ayaka was surprised. She didn't expect that this parasitic monster knew all this.

"There's nothing strange about that," the parasitic monster said calmly, as if it knew what she was thinking. "My type of parasitic monster uses the perception of demonic energy and spiritual power to see things. Just now... because you experienced a certain state of 'death', the spiritual power in your body has begun to surge out."

"what?"

The parasitic demon's words gave her a flash of inspiration.

...Could it be that I fell into a near-death state when I almost suffocated just now?

"Don't you find it strange? Telepathy is a power that only exorcists can use. Ordinary people who lack spiritual power cannot hear my voice. And you, in fact, were only able to communicate with me using telepathy after you woke up just now."

It told Ayaka.

"Now that you are a descendant of an exorcist with spiritual power... I will teach you how to use it."

……

Baijie was convinced that his body seemed to be occupied by something.

His body, consumed by the power of the demonic spirit, was covered in a strangely shaped black armor.

This armor was extremely strange, with flowing blood-red lines on it. At the same time, the wrist that had been torn off and the throat that had been pierced and spurted with blood were both repaired under the powerful super-regenerative force.

"This is definitely not the regenerative power of mermaid flesh. My wounds in the past didn't heal this quickly. This is the power brought by the spirit of ghosts and gods..."

Baijie also began to feel confused. He didn't know why the ghost energy had such a change. According to Xue Yashaji, the ghost energy was also known as the karma of the devil and demon, and it was claimed that this was the power contained in the magic treasure of the evil lord, the Snake Ghost King.

However, it now seems that the "ghost spirit" is not the power of the Snake Ghost King, but a more special existence -

"What exactly happened? What's going on with my body now?"

Baijie was like a ghost, floating behind him.

His body was not under his control, but his thoughts were like a ghost behind him, floating in the air - from his current perspective, he could clearly see the figure mixed with blood-red in the darkness galloping.

"He" moved at an astonishing speed and clashed with the frogs in the underground cave. In this state, "he" was incredibly powerful. With just a wave of his arm, he could stir up a dark and terrifying storm.

A giant frog pounced from mid-air and was caught in the dark ghostly energy. This was a wind of destruction. Before the frog fell to the ground, its bones and flesh were crushed and immediately cut into countless pieces of meat.

Then, the dark alien waved its hands, and more than ten other big frogs were torn apart. It was a vortex of ghostly energy. After the whirlwind-like attack, the frogs were all torn into pieces, and red internal organs and blood splattered out. A large amount of meat fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the empty ground covered with puddles was dyed red by the flesh and blood fragments of the frog monsters.

"What on earth is this all about...is it just pointless killing!?"

Bai Jie originally thought so, then he noticed the evil spirit around him. The soul fragments of the dead frog monsters turned into gusts of evil wind, which were being sucked in from all directions and merged into the body of "him" in the alien armor.

"This guy is absorbing demonic energy?"

At this moment, Bai Jie couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
