My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 192 Brother, brother, you smell so good!
Are you all humanoid scanners? You're like that, and so is the brave old man; you can all tell a person's body shape at a glance? That's ridiculous!

Xue Dinglu immediately looked the blonde bombshell up and, sure enough, noticed something was off.

An hour ago, she seemed to be just like the average middle school student, except that her chest wasn't as big as a boy's even when she was dressed.

But in just one hour, she had matured a lot. If she was a high school girl who had just entered high school, she was now like a college girl about to enter university, with her chest size increasing by more than one size.

"Hmm, are you curious about this?" She seemed nonchalant, casually lifting up the fat in front of her body without a care in the world.

Another class of students was sent into the solitary confinement room. At this time, Xue Lude paid special attention to the girl and noticed that she had grown even larger. Now, she was about the size of a normal adult European or American woman.

Xue Dinglu ignored the somewhat crazy and eccentric girl.

He had already guessed a lot...

"You're just a ghost of this school, aren't you?" Xue Dinglu asked.

The blonde bombshell paused, then reached out and touched Xue Luding's forehead, saying, "Are you having an attack? You don't have a fever?"

"Maybe, I'm probably sick..." Xue Dinglu smiled, but at this moment, he began his experiment, materializing his fantasies.

In front of the girl, he chose Amei's most classic "Spider-Man" image and instantly changed into the Spider-Man suit.

The girl's pupils widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, "Bro, you're Spider-Man? OMG! Bro, bro, you smell so good, how about being my husband?"

Her thoughts were very disjointed, like Harley Quinn, both erratic and repressed.

At that moment, Xue Dinglu and the old ghost clearly saw that she had shrunk dramatically from her previous figure, which resembled that of a female college student. She also seemed to become younger, soon looking even younger than when they first met, only about 12 years old, like a flat doll.

"Did you see clearly, Xue boy?" the old ghost said.

"I think I understand now. She might be the embodiment of all the students' last fantasies in this school..." Xue Dinglu closed his eyes. He had discovered this during the experiment just now. "A ghost formed from the last fantasies of teenagers after the children have been stripped away..."

Xue's Law laughed: "So, she embodies all the flaws of teenagers: repression, truancy, giving up, greed, eccentricity... but she also embodies all their good qualities..."

"I think I know what the rituals of those corrupt mystics are."

……

Odysseus and the old man who loves crafts are on the other side.

"Bro, it's getting cold, put on a scarf to keep warm." The old man with Howard's face was adjusting the scarf around the neck of the person opposite him.

Beneath the scarf, the fire of the soul quietly infiltrated the mystic's body. For Odysseus, possessing a person of legendary status posed little challenge.

Although he's not very good, that's only relative to high-level games. In low to mid-level games, Odysseus is still a master at bullying enemies of legendary rank and below.

"Haha, brother, Lord Brington is ready, please come in!" The old man who loves crafts began to walk into the magnificent church.

Mousse, Indonesia, 384 kilometers northeast of Boston, is the stronghold of those degenerate mystics.

The two split up: Odysseus was to investigate the evil spirits summoned by the group of fallen mystics, while the old man who loved crafts was to go directly to Brinton and the person who might be controlling Brinton behind the scenes.

If given the chance, try to kill the mastermind behind it all.

Although it was a bit risky, the old man who loved crafts felt he still had a chance. After all, he wasn't the real science fiction horror writer, but rather an evil spirit personified by the world's perception of "Cthulhu horror." His abilities included, but were not limited to, the language of the Ancients, face-changing by the Faceless Men, and reality distortion.

If he plays well, he has a great chance to take down the opponent directly.

Meanwhile, Odysseus, much like Agent 47, successfully infiltrated the church's underground by repeatedly changing his possession targets.

During his intelligence gathering, he discovered that this was the area where these corrupt mystics hid their evil spirits, and also the place where they made sacrifices.

He once again possessed a near-legendary fallen mystic by gifting him a scarf, and then killed the previous body and disposed of the evidence.

He even chose to use part of the Sky Thunder's power to burn the corpse because he was afraid that it would be exposed by being swallowed by the tree roots.

In his previous investigation, he had already discovered the evil spirits of the fallen mystics, one of which was the Wendigo they already knew. But the remaining evil spirits made him frown.

The group of mystics summoned a total of four evil spirits: one was a brain monster with eyes, another was a twisted, skeletal humanoid skeleton with a clock made of bones behind it, and the last one, the strongest, was an evil spirit that even Odysseus felt oppressed by.

A near-Tier 5 evil spirit! It was an evil spirit that resembled a bone prison, filled with the skeletons of countless birds.

No, how could the evil spirits they summoned be something like this? This was Odysseus's bewildered thought.

Their evil spirit companions include the old man who loves crafts, little Annabelle, and Barak, the ghost who is said to be Sildenas's former teacher. Although they are evil spirits in essence, they are at least real evil spirits that have been passed down or actually existed.

Unlike here, apart from the Wendigo being an evil spirit that originated in the Americas, what are the abstract concepts of the Brain Monster, the Skinny Evil Spirit, and the Bone Prison Evil Spirit?
Odysseus had been surfing the internet for quite some time and was confident that he had some understanding of folk horror culture, but he couldn't find any specific concept to represent these three evil spirits.

However, it is clear that these three evil spirits are many times more powerful than Wendigo.

The Wendigo is already one of the most famous evil spirits in the Americas, but what monster is several times stronger than the Wendigo?

Odysseus slipped in without hesitation, and as he looked up, he saw a scene that made him frown.

One after another, "eggs" grow on the trees, and through the dim light, you can see that each egg contains a rapidly growing baby.

A large number of masked mystics began to deliver the babies, placing them in front of Wendigo like an assembly line. The huge deer-headed monster would lick the baby once and then send it away.

This ritual made Odysseus frown.

He now realized that the evil spirits here seemed to be the real entities, while the evil spirits summoned by the mystics outside were merely clones of these four evil spirits.

They didn't know how they could mass-produce babies here, and then these babies were licked by the Wendigo and sent out of the underground.

He was determined to pass on the information from here to Xue Dinglu.

Odysseus was thinking this when he seemed to bump into an "acquaintance".

"Oh, so you've been assigned to work here too?" This person seemed to be an acquaintance and greeted Odysseus directly.

Odysseus's possession of another's body was a forced takeover, and he didn't retain any memories. So, without hesitation, he prepared to abandon his current body. It was getting cold, so he wanted to let his good brother wear a scarf to keep warm.

"Alas, you're too late. If this continues, we won't be able to satisfy the expansionist desires of the four evil spirits, and things will get complicated..." As soon as the other party spoke, Odysseus temporarily stopped his plan to take action.

"Hmm..." He didn't know what kind of person his original owner was, but he kept quiet and prepared to try to get more information out of him.

“Ah, bro, it seems you don’t know much. Let me introduce you to our demons. You may have used the power of our four evil spirits in the outside world, but you still don’t know their true forms…” The enthusiastic mystic began to grow a twig in his hand and draw on the ground.

“That deer-headed one is the Wendigo, you know, the monster that represents the ‘collection of missing children’ in the Americas.” He said, drawing a lifelike deer head on the ground.

“But here, the concept of Wendigo is ‘children’s curiosity’,” the mystic said with a sincere expression.

"Ok?"

“You don’t understand, do you? I’ll introduce the rest of the evil spirits and you’ll understand.” He drew another monster that looked like a brain and said, “This second one represents ‘the boy’s dream’, we call it the ‘Learning Evil Spirit’.”

"Learn from evil spirits?" Odysseus was completely baffled at this point. Upon hearing the name, his mental processing unit started to churn.

Why would learning something so sacred turn one into an evil spirit?

He didn't quite understand, because in ancient Greece, having a teacher to impart knowledge and guide your learning was considered extremely fortunate. He had always felt that learning was an opportunity and a chance, and even when surfing the internet, he didn't really understand those who said students suffered.

"That's it. And the third one, the one that's all skin and bones and carries a giant bone bell, represents the 'hope of adults,' which we call the 'work demon.'"

"And the last one is even more extraordinary. It's the strongest evil spirit, representing 'the end of all things in this life' and 'the fear beyond death.' It's an evil spirit that, in conception, is more terrifying than death itself." The mystic leaned closer, speaking as if showing off.
"Its name is, the Debt-Incurring Evil Spirit!"

Odysseus: "?"

Your evil spirits seem a bit abstract now? No wonder he couldn't recognize them.

But Odysseus frowned, because if the man before him wasn't lying, then the four evil spirits the mystics had identified represented...

Childhood curiosity, teenage dreams, youthful hopes, and the end of old age...

It encompasses four key concepts from a person's birth to their death!
He was not a mystic, but even a layman would naturally be wary when he saw these concepts combined in the mysticism.

Then, the mystic began to lament, saying, "However, our progress in absorbing this concept has slowed down recently. I don't know who's causing trouble, but if this continues, we might all be filled in..."

While he was still complaining, a scarf was suddenly put around his neck.

The mystic was taken aback. He wondered if his bro thought he smelled good and had suddenly taken a liking to him.

But the next moment, he was completely possessed. Odysseus looked at the information he had just gathered, immediately killed his previous body, and then passed everything he saw to Xue Luding. He also left some information for the old man who loved crafts at the meeting place.

He needs to continue lurking underground, perhaps he can gather more information about the four evil spirits, or perhaps he can use an even more vicious scheme to directly cause the four demons to lose control.

　Chapter 189 has been approved. It was probably blocked from review because I wrote "King of Knowledge".
