Chapter 223

It is just a pity that Wu Xian's plan, although clever, still went wrong when it was close to success.

To complete this plan, it was necessary to ensure that this television was the only powered display screen nearby, but just as they finished setting it up, the indoor basketball court lit up!

The power was back!

The power was back, and there were lights, which should have been a good thing.

But this way, the high-altitude television Wu Xian and the others had set up was no longer the only powered display screen; the screen ghost didn't have to appear from here.

Therefore, Wu Xian could only temporarily shelve the plan.

The original ghosts that hadn't been killed possessed a certain ability to think; if they didn't fall for it once, they might not fall for the trick next time. So to ensure nothing went wrong, Wu Xian planned to wait a bit longer, at least until he figured out what was going on with this inexplicable power restoration.

The remaining time.

Wu Xian, Shi Ji, and Sun Qian divided the spoils they had obtained earlier.

After the jumping ghost died, it left behind 75 centimeters of residual incense; after An Haisheng disappeared, he left behind a fragment of the King Yama portrait on the spot.

Each of them received 25 centimeters of residual incense, which wasn't enough for one god-worshipping session, but they already had residual incense in their hands, so they didn't have to worry about having no incense to worship the gods.

Next, they began to search for divine statues.

In the process of searching for divine statues, they tried their best not to stand on tiptoe, tried not to approach display screens, and also not to approach the window positions. Although there were many restrictions, Wonder Island was large, so it wasn't like there was nowhere to look.

Zhu Shuhui and Yan Bingbing followed the three of them in a daze, not knowing what exactly they were looking for.

Soon they found the first divine statue, the Heavenly Official - Deity in Charge of Good Fortune.

Wu Xian thought for a moment and gave this opportunity to Shi Ji.

After Shi Ji worshipped the god, he unsurprisingly obtained a "Stink Character." Shi Ji didn't mention the specific effect, but just based on this "Stink" character, Wu Xian felt the effect of this talisman must be extraordinary.

Then they found a Water Official - Great Deity of Xuanming divine statue under a bed. This time it was found by Sun Qian, and after worshipping the god, he obtained a peach wood sword.

As soon as this peach wood sword was taken out, it merged with the thousand-year-old peach wood sword already in Sun Qian's hand. The whole thing looked much more exquisite, changing from street-stall goods to antique-shop goods; the ability should have had a major upgrade.

Seeing that both of them had obtained good things.

Wu Xian was also a bit anxious.

Finally, around 2:30 AM, they found the third divine statue; this one was the Earth Official - Great Deity of the Fengdu Underworld!

Seeing this divine statue, Wu Xian's mood improved.

The reason he had given away the god-worshipping opportunities twice just now wasn't because he was generous, but because he felt those two divine statues might not produce the things he wanted.

But the Fengdu Underworld Great Deity statue produced ghost supernatural powers, which might have miraculous effects when used to deal with ghost types.

This divine statue was black overall; although it was carved from black stone, it was carved to give the feeling of a large mass of black smoke. At the very top of the smoke was a crown, and two red eyes could be seen through the black mist.

Just looking at the statue, one could imagine the ferocious ghost king hiding in the boundless black mist.

Wu Xian bowed respectfully, and immediately a mass of black smoke rose up.

These black smokes were different from the black energy when worshipping Chiyou; Chiyou's black energy made people feel as if they were about to be swallowed, while this black smoke, although pitch black in color, gave people a sense of solemnity and seriousness.

Three types of ghost supernatural powers appeared before Wu Xian, which were:

Ghost Supernatural Power: Ghost Call

Ghost Supernatural Power: Ghost Tongue

Ghost Supernatural Power: Ghost Possession

Wu Xian had seen the Ghost Call supernatural power before.

It could use various electrical appliances without needing wires; it was considered a very practical type of ghost supernatural power, especially since the screen ghost and the telephone ghost hadn't been caught yet. The Ghost Call ability might be able to do Wu Xian a big favor.

But Wu Xian didn't make a choice immediately, instead looking at the remaining two god-worshipping abilities.

The second Ghost Tongue ability was a bit bizarre.

This ghost supernatural power could be used three times, each lasting for one minute. Opening the mouth would allow one to spit out a red ghost tongue. The ghost tongue could extend up to ten meters, as tough as steel bars, as flexible as a tentacle, and as powerful as a whip when swung.

Wu Xian stuck out his tongue and thought about what his tongue would look like at ten meters long, immediately feeling it was detrimental to his image.

But it seemed...

It was actually quite fun!

The third ghost supernatural power was Ghost Possession. Wu Xian could do the same thing as the possession ghost; by taking advantage of others standing on tiptoe to pad their feet in, he could control the other person's body.

During the control period, Wu Xian could use the other person's abilities and be in an invisible state, but it was only hiding his image; once attacked, he would still be injured.

This ability was very useful in the real world, but Wu Xian felt it had no great use for dealing with ghosts.

Wu Xian thought back and forth, weighing the pros and cons of these three abilities, his thoughts wandering between serious and unserious, and finally, he slapped his forehead.

He chose Ghost Supernatural Power - Ghost Tongue!

He had already thought about where to use this supernatural power!

Seeing that it was already 3:00 or 4:00 AM, and it would be dawn in a little while, Wu Xian and the others didn't continue searching for divine statues, but quickly returned to the hotel's lobby.

All of them had to return before dawn.

Because before dawn, they still had one major thing that needed to be done!

Returning to the hotel lobby.

Wu Xian discovered that the situation was much more serious than he had imagined.

Their group had only lost An Haisheng, with five people remaining, but the other groups weren't so lucky.

Only three were left in Han Ke's group.

What surprised Wu Xian the most was that Han Ke had actually died too!

This Han Ke was the person Wu Xian was most vigilant against in this Blessed Land; he was always on guard against this guy turning traitor and hurting people. He didn't expect that Han Ke, who looked unfathomable, would die so... casually?

The situation in Lou Yaozong's group was also okay.

But Li Wangyou and Li Qi had both died at the water station.

According to Lou Yaozong.

At the water station, there was a ghost monster that controlled electricity.

Near this ghost monster, all electrical appliances would resume power supply. This electricity ghost had always been hiding near the water supply station, which was why Wonder Island had tap water to use.

Lou Yaozong and Zhang Wei also paid a certain price before they worked together to kill this electricity ghost.

After the electricity ghost died.

The water station stopped working, but the water already pumped into the water tower was still there, and the only people using water on the island were them, so the tap water was still enough to last until they left Wonder Island.

Hearing Lou Yaozong's description, Wu Xian suddenly realized.

No wonder the power was suddenly restored; it turned out that after the electricity ghost died, a new ghost was refreshed in the center of Wonder Island...

Wu Xian was suddenly stunned: "Wait... electricity ghost? Shouldn't it be the telephone ghost!"

Lou Yaozong shook his head: "I am sure it is the electricity ghost. That ghost's ability is only to shuttle quickly through electrical appliances and control the opening and operation of electrical appliances; it can discharge electricity to hurt people, but the power is not high."

Wu Xian took out the compensation agreement he had found in Yan Ye's office to look at. Among them, there was one related to a telephone, which was someone who died of electric shock while making a call in a bathhouse.

"Died of electric shock..."

Wu Xian frowned.

Looking at it this way, the telephone ghost among the ten types of ghosts was actually the electricity ghost; the reason for that ghost's appearance was electric shock, and it had nothing to do with the telephone he was holding at the time.

When the electricity ghost surfaced, the ten types of ghosts had actually been gathered.

There were four ghosts that had been photographed by all cameras and camcorders:

The ball-playing ghost, the bed-pressing ghost, the jumping ghost, and the water ghost.

The ghosts that hadn't been photographed were:

The possession ghost, the electricity ghost, the screen ghost, the flesh-cutting ghost, the belly ghost, and the ghost that starved to death in the data.

All ten types of ghosts had appeared.

But now the problem was, the eerie voice on the telephone at the beginning that told everyone to photograph the ten types of ghosts was not among these ten!

Could it be that the one speaking on the telephone.

Was the ability of the great ghost that was delusional about ascending to a divine position?
