Chapter 126
Although it is unclear exactly what is going on, since a person has been caught, there will naturally be a breakthrough.
It is not that there are no people who can withstand torture, but such people are extremely rare; sometimes human will is not as firm as one imagines, and the influence of physiological instincts on a person is greater than one can imagine.
Therefore, Louis is not very worried about being unable to pry her mouth open.
With his mind settled, Louis looks at his spoils of war this time: that severed arm.
Just now in the classroom, he didn't examine it carefully, but now in the car, he can take a good look at what this thing actually is.
It is the size of a normal person's arm and has already withered somewhat, giving a skin-and-bones feeling, but it is not the kind without flesh; it seems to have been specially air-dried, so it won't be too fragile when handled.
However, this treatment makes it difficult for him to tell the age of the arm's owner at a glance.
At this moment, Louis takes out the amulet and places it near the arm, discovering there is no reaction at all.
It seems it has nothing to do with evil things like spirits, demons, or evil gods; it just belongs to some kind of special power, and this point is very important.
He doesn't know how strong its spirit-summoning ability is or what the process is; it's unlikely to be infinite, but judging by the situation with those dozen or so semi-spirits just now, it shouldn't be too weak either.
This is also fine; he only needs to find someone to use this severed arm, and he can summon spirits continuously, then eat the ghosts and craft soul stones, significantly accelerating the progress of his cultivation and methods.
What a good treasure~
After opening a safe in the car and putting the severed arm inside, Louis begins to hold his breath and concentrate, placing his attention on his belly.
The Ghost-Eating Witchcraft belongs to the category of Ancient Witchcraft; witchcraft at that time focused on interacting with heaven, earth, and nature, and this witchcraft is actually no exception.
After swallowing a soul, one needs the five viscera to grind away the soul's various obsessions, ferocity, and killing intent using the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but this process also has a threshold; if you are not someone with extraordinary talent, then you must possess cultivation to protect your five viscera, otherwise, before you even begin, you will have already been ripped open from the inside by the spirit.
Besides this, one also needs a heart capable of suppressing them and firming one's self; whether it is nature, conversion, or ferocity, as long as you can suppress them so they won't turn around and affect your spirit, then combining the two, this witchcraft can be considered mastered.
And now, Louis is using internal Qi to protect his five viscera and is performing the transformation within them, while simultaneously firming his mind and spirit.
Start operation.
Ahhhhh!!!
Silent screams begin to circle in Louis's ears; the spirits of the dozen or so semi-spirits and a few bottom-tier spirits begin to impact crazily under the flow and crushing of the five viscera.
Unfortunately, they are only semi-spirits; under the protection of internal Qi for the viscera, they have no chance to resist.
It is just that those extreme sounds are truly annoying—crying, begging for mercy, cursing, men, women, old, and young, every kind of sound exists, layered on top of each other, like being trapped in a pit of flies, yet they cannot be killed off for a while.
Louis also cannot help but frown; sound has an influence on people, and sometimes just by hearing the sound, a person's mind will automatically begin to fill in various images, thereby affecting oneself.
Fortunately, Louis's heart is hard enough, so he is not so easily affected; he even feels this is a good opportunity to temper his mind, which will be helpful for his future breakthrough to the Yin Spirit Realm; it seems he should do this good thing of having a dozen spirits in his belly at once to exercise his mind more often in the future.
Soon, after ten minutes or so, Louis has already ground away a few semi-spirits, his eyes bright and alert; he feels his spirit is extremely good right now.
He could stay up all night and feel as if he had just woken up!
"Wonderful~"
At this time, seeing the car stop, having arrived at the Rebirth Prison, Louis temporarily slows down the grinding work, which can also be considered taking the time to recover some internal Qi; once the operation stops, the noisy sounds in his ears also suddenly weaken.
The car next to them also stops, and Lunca runs over, curiously looking at this prison.
Louis carries the safe and walks toward the prison, the family members behind him all silent, dragging the woman who had her injuries treated inside.
Soon, after entering the password, they follow the elevator to the underground base.
Lunca says nothing the whole time, just pursing her lips, nervously looking around, her heart already shocked beyond measure.
A prison!
An underground base!
How many things has Louis done behind the scenes?
Immediately following is joy and excitement; Louis, who has done so much, is clearly not content with loneliness, and she can also be a part of this, which is highly beneficial for the future!
Lunca is a smart person; she even thought of some arrangements Louis might make for her, but she remains silent; sometimes, it is best not to speak out about things that are tacitly understood, and let the other party make the arrangements; this is good for everyone.
Louis does not care what Lunca is thinking; he just instructs his subordinates to drag the woman away for interrogation.
"Bring a voluntary material over."
Immediately, he arrives in a steel room.
He places the severed arm on it.
Seeing that Louis does not stop her, Lunca also walks in.
"This is my experimental site; in the future, regarding supernatural events, it is better to kill by mistake than to let one go; remember to tell me in time."
Louis suddenly says.
Lunca nods.
Like this time, Lunca did very well, leaving the place of right and wrong in time, and knowing to tell him; otherwise, he might have missed this treasure.
"As for this place, I will give you access permission."
"Also, remember to practice the cultivation method I taught you every day, otherwise there are many things I won't be able to hand over to you in the future."
"Okay!"
The iron door is knocked, and a powerful, sturdy man walks in carrying a "soft noodle."
The man's face is pale, his dark circles are heavy, and no hope can be seen in his eyes; just by sitting there, a sense of deep despair arises spontaneously.
Louis looks at the sturdy man, and the sturdy man hurriedly replies, "Young Master, this guy is a drug addict; he injured his internal organs while fighting others for goods, and as a result, an examination found he has terminal lung cancer and doesn't have long to live; as long as a sum of money is transferred to his family, he is willing to do anything."
Terminal lung cancer, then there is indeed no saving him.
Louis nods, "Just hold this hand and shout 'respond to me'; you must listen to orders during the action process, otherwise you won't get a single penny."
The man nods, "Can I, can I really get the money?"
Louis gives a look, and soon, a transfer record is brought over.
Looking at the string of zeros on it, the man's eyes shine, he looks at Louis, and nods fiercely, "Okay, whatever you tell me to do, I will do."
Louis is expressionless.
He doesn't care whether there is any inside story or sad past for the man in front of him, as long as the other party can obey orders.
Soon, Louis drips cow tears, and while he's at it, drips a drop for the curious Lunca, and the spirit summoning officially begins.
The man holds the hand, "Respond to me."
Accompanied by the sound, sweat appears on the man's forehead, but when he opens his eyes, nothing happens.
He looks at Louis in confusion, his hand still holding that severed arm.
Yet he sees Louis frowning.
Suddenly, the frown relaxes, and Louis pries open a peach wood board in the room.
The next second.
A semi-spirit with a mouth full of rotten teeth and one eye missing suddenly drills in and sits down on the chair opposite the man.
Louis reveals a smile.
Sure enough, this thing is useful; it's just because this room had an inner wall made of peach wood, causing the spirit to be unable to enter, which is why the situation just now occurred.
It seems the matter of covering the entire underground base wall with peach wood can continue; it is indeed useful.
Now, it's time to see what the process and speed of my buffet serving is like.
Louis reveals a faint smile, turns his head to look at the man who is trembling while holding the palm tightly, and the semi-spirit opposite him.
"Don't be nervous, let's take it slow."
……
After a two-hour experiment.
Louis has derived a series of patterns regarding the severed hand.
First, this thing can indeed summon spirits, and it seems to carry a certain compulsiveness, as well as temptation.
Especially this temptation; it doesn't tempt the spirits, but the contactor; after each contactor shouts "respond to me," their body will become semi-open, and while they can see ghosts, their soul will also become extremely sensitive, so when the spirits erode them, it will bring a pleasure that goes deep into the soul, like addictive goods!
Louis suspects this ability was originally controllable, perhaps an active ability of the hand's owner, but now it is clearly out of control.
Also, its spirit-summoning range is limited; it can only be said to be a region within a city; of course, it's not small, just a bit different from the city-wide range Louis previously thought, but it fits reality quite well.
In addition, the layer of ceramic that previously wrapped the outside of this severed hand and the incantations on it were actually a suppression of this thing's ability; only now is the severed hand considered to have its restrictions lifted, capable of summoning more powerful spirits, no longer at the level where most are semi-spirits and only a few are true spirits.
Instead, it is capable of summoning a level where all are true spirits.
Louis feels that the other party's upper limit is probably not just those bottom-tier spirits, but ordinary spirits like Mary Shaw, or even high-level spirits like the Man-Eater, which is not yet known.
No wonder it was necessary to use those methods to suppress it; otherwise, summoning a few spirits at the level of Mary Shaw or the Man-Eater all at once would be quite a game.
Clearly, the creator considered this point before applying the seal.
However, this point reminds Louis.
Is it possible that behind the woman who attacked him is actually the force that created this severed arm? Or people who have their eyes on this severed arm?
It's fine for those students to play with it, but he wiped out the spirits as soon as he made a move, which is clearly different from the students who took it to play, so they made a move against him?
Louis ponders slightly, feeling this possibility is not small; as for whether it is, he will know once the interrogation results come out.
Before that, let's continue to cultivate and digest all the spirits in his belly.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit are a trinity; when the spirit is complete, the Qi is sufficient; when the Qi is sufficient, the essence is full; thus it cycles back and forth.
Now, the spirit is not yet complete, but Louis can already feel the benefits: full of spirit, sharp thinking, not easily fatigued, and the keen intuition that detected the sniper during the gunfight just now are all benefits brought by a powerful spirit.
The five viscera five-element millstone rotates, spirits scream miserably one after another, and vicious curses follow one after another, but they can do nothing to Louis.
They can only provide him with more power.
When internal Qi is insufficient, he rests for a while, eats something, refines and recovers internal Qi, then continues; once he finishes digesting the spirits in his body, he will call the man over to continue summoning spirits...
Lunca, bored on the side, also begins to practice the things Louis passed on to her.
For a time, the room is quiet.
Until three hours later.
Knock, knock, knock.
The door is knocked.
Louis concludes cultivation, "Come in."
It is his driver, "Young Master, the interrogation results are out."
Slap, slap!
The woman is carried in.
The woman now looks very miserable; her fingernails have been pulled out, and the needle-pricked holes are vaguely visible...
However, Louis and Lunca remain unchanged.
"This woman's willpower is quite good, but she still couldn't withstand it and confessed her background."
"She originally belonged to the CIA, working in the Middle East; because her child got sick, she divorced and quit her job, and being short of money, she committed multiple robberies; once, during a robbery, she was spotted and wanted to kill to silence the witness."
"As a result, the other party had impressive combat power and was also a master of guns; after a struggle, she was defeated and then absorbed by that person into the company now called W."
"However, because she is an peripheral member, she is not trusted and doesn't know much, only knowing to obey orders to guard those special items ordered by the company."
"After completing the mission, she gets a bounty, as well as a high salary."
W Company?
What kind of enterprise is this?
"Anything else?"
The driver says, "She has been working for the company for three years so far and has guarded four special items; this severed arm is the fifth, codenamed F-Zone R-Point No. 5."
"F-Zone refers to Florida, R-Point refers to Orlando, and No. 5 refers to this item."
"She only confessed this much; regarding other matters about the company, she insisted on only answering after seeing you."
The driver says so.
Louis nods; it seems this woman has conditions to negotiate.
"Speak, what do you want?"
"You can't, I know you won't let me go; I only hope that you can change my daughter's name and send her to an orphanage; please, be quick."
Louis's eyes are playful, "How do you know I won't let you go? What if?"
"People like you, I've seen too many; you're psychologically twisted; I almost killed you, you can't possibly let me go." The woman opens her mouth and laughs a few times, her mouth full of blood foam.
Louis also laughs.
"Likewise."
She talks as if she were something good; a CIA agent working in the Middle East, committing multiple robberies and murders for money; the number of people she's killed is probably in the dozens, right?
At least I don't harm the innocent.
However, she is right about one thing: he indeed won't let her go; daring to shoot at him and wanting to snipe him—if he didn't have some methods, he might have been beaten into a miserable state waiting for the family and Gu Yi and the others to come to the rescue, and even suffering serious injury wouldn't be impossible.
So, how could he let her go!
