Chapter 148: Lamp Wick

Qiao Sang's pupils narrowed sharply.

You must know that vitality is a characteristic of living organisms. People with more abundant vitality feel more spirited and energetic.

As long as a person is still alive, they have vitality, it's just a matter of prosperity or decline. However, wanting this vitality to attract the attention of a ghost-type pet beast isn't just about the person being alive.

It requires the whole body to be filled with a large amount of vitality.

The ghost-type pet beasts that ghost-type pet beasts like to feed on in horror movies are also the vitality of young people. I have never seen them specifically looking for elderly people to feed on.

The vitality in an old person is originally small and restrained in the body, and ghost-type pet beasts can't feel it at all.

Like pet beasts such as the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp that like to find lost people and give them directions in exchange for vitality, big data shows that the people they help give directions to are also young people.

And death energy is a kind of aura of no life.

The places with the most death energy are funeral homes, morgues, and cemeteries.

When death energy appears on a person, it means their life is coming to an end.

The death energy that can attract ghost-type pet beasts must be very rich. Feeling it on a living person basically indicates that this person will hang up within three days.

Logically speaking, the vitality and death energy that can be felt by ghost-type pet beasts should both be beyond the normal energy range.

But the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost felt both on the old lady.

This doesn't fit logic!

Qiao Sang pondered secretly. All abnormal phenomena are caused by extraordinary creatures. Could this be related to the missing Ghost-Absorbing Lamp?

For a moment, Qiao Sang's mind opened wide.

She tried hard to connect everything. The old lady herself was about to hang up, but on the same day, her family rushed over, and then the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp disappeared and the old lady came back to life.

The sequence of events that happened before and after is connected together...

Qiao Sang's right hand unconsciously supported her chin and started a conspiracy theory.

Could it be that the old lady's family knew about some of the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's abilities, and then forced the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp to use them so that the old lady's life could be extended.

But the price of doing so is death, so the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp disappeared and the old lady was unaware, still foolishly posting a mission to find the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp.

Not right...

Qiao Sang quickly denied her conjecture again.

If the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp died, the old lady, as its Beast Tamer, would definitely know immediately...

But what if the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp saved the old lady and didn't die?

Qiao Sang took out her phone and searched.

【What ability does the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp have that can make a dying person come back to life】

Soon the webpage gave an answer.

【Sorry, no webpage related to "What ability does the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp have that can make a dying person come back to life" was found】

Qiao Sang: "..."

It seems no one has asked this question...

She didn't give up, logged onto the forum, and posted a thread about this question.

Just after it was posted, it had been more than ten seconds, and there were a few replies below.

【I don't know how the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp makes a dying person come back to life, but I do know how it makes a dying person die faster. Do you want to hear it?】

【Why did I brush into this question?】

【Thread starter, your thinking is not quite right】

【Please! This is a ghost-type pet beast, do you think it's a god-pet with god-tier healing skills!】

【I have to popularize this for the thread starter. The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp absorbs vitality, it doesn't give vitality】

Qiao Sang looked at the reply at the very bottom and fell into deep thought.

Right, what the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp likes most is vitality. Its body must have stored a little bit. If it can send this vitality to a person who is about to die...

Qiao Sang exited the forum, quickly flipped through the recent call records, and found the phone number she wanted to call.

Of course, it's more reliable to ask someone knowledgeable about questions that the public won't discuss.

The phone rang twice and then connected.

"Hello, what's wrong?" A steady voice came from the speaker.

"Vice Principal, I want to ask, can the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp send vitality to people?" Qiao Sang asked straight to the point.

Liu Yao put down the documents in his hand. Qiao Sang had been contacting him quite frequently recently. He didn't even need to look at the caller ID; he knew it was her as soon as he heard the voice.

But he didn't expect her to ask such a question as soon as she called this time.

Although Qiao Sang's cultural scores weren't very good, the questions she liked to explore were already far beyond the level of a high school student.

After pondering for a few seconds, Liu Yao replied: "No, the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp absorbs vitality through the lamp wick in its body. If the absorbed vitality is released, it just dissipates and won't enter the human body in any way."

"The human structure is placed there, and it can't absorb these energies like ghost-type pet beasts."

Qiao Sang frowned. Did she guess wrong?

"Then can the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's lamp wick be transferred into the human body?"

Since the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's lamp wick is the key to absorbing vitality, can it still do the same if it's in the human body?

Liu Yao's expression was grave. He didn't expect Qiao Sang to ask this question.

Wanting the lamp wick in the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's body to enter the human body is equivalent to removing the pet beast's most important organ.

Several centuries ago, some researchers, in order to gain some kind of ability from pet beasts, had done such insane experiments, which were later strictly prohibited by the Alliance and then stopped.

He didn't expect Qiao Sang to think of such a dark level of question at such a young age.

He felt it was very necessary to correct Qiao Sang's thinking. With her genius level, her future would definitely be limitless. If her thinking went astray, she might cause a great disaster.

Liu Yao said seriously: "Of course not. If the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp loses its lamp wick, it's equivalent to a person losing their heart. Moreover, the human body cannot withstand this kind of energy at all. If you do this, both the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp and the person into whom the lamp wick is transferred will perish."

Qiao Sang pondered. If this is the case, then all her previous inferences were wrong.

But what's going on with the changes that happened to the old lady?

Liu Yao didn't hear Qiao Sang speak, so he said worriedly: "Where are you now? Did you see something or hear something from someone? Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Qiao Sang sighed and said: "I'm doing a mission outside. Today we went to the Beast Taming Center..."

After she spent two minutes explaining the cause and effect of the matter, she found that there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

Qiao Sang put the phone in front of her eyes and looked; it was still connected.

"Vice Principal?" Qiao Sang called out uncertainly, holding the phone to her ear.

"... I'm here, the signal was bad just now."

Liu Yao was a bit embarrassed. Others were working hard on the mission, and he was actually speculating that her thinking was dangerous...

"Actually, it's not that the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's lamp wick can't stay in the human body for a period of time," Liu Yao coughed dryly: "It's just that it can't stay for too long, otherwise the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp itself will perish. And this lamp wick must be taken out voluntarily by the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp."

"Someone once studied it, and no matter whether it was scanned with instruments or dissected after the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp died, its lamp wick couldn't be found." ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
