Chapter 4241

The situation of such outsiders entering the town and encountering a series of supernatural events was not the first time it had appeared. Whether it was travelers in groups, strangers who stumbled in, or just passersby, the evil spirit would use his possession skills and lies to watch them constantly investigate in the town, flee in panic, or kill each other in anger.

For a ghost who can perfectly control others' bodies and even understand their memories, deceiving ordinary people is really too simple. Precisely because his ability is too strong and deceiving people is too convenient, it led to him not exercising his deception skills at all.

Even if some smart people among them were suspicious, the evil spirit could very accurately state the memory details of the possessed person, and some small movements could also be imitated vividly, so that even partners with intimate relationships couldn't tell. Then why would he bother to study deeper things?

Moreover, the tragedy that happened back then was well known to the politicians. Once the former local councilors were promoted, they would work harder to cover up the news. The town's existence was almost completely erased, so naturally there wouldn't be any expert teams coming to investigate, and even people who were slightly professional were not allowed to get close. So only travelers came.

Such people have no professional knowledge and are completely unprepared, basically one deception is one hit, and there is no need to do any hypnosis at all, just control the companion's body to launch a sneak attack.

This led to the fact that for all these years, the evil spirit had actually been swimming in a "fish pond game." Let alone the existence of elite agents and special forces, he hadn't even encountered a law enforcement officer in their seventies or eighties. Simply put, he had no experience in dealing with non-ordinary people.

And the players who entered this instance, although their bodies were indeed restricted to ordinary people and they didn't have any very powerful spiritual abilities, their personalities were destined to be extraordinary.

Still the same sentence, who would be a superhero if there wasn't something wrong with their brain?

Moreover, the ones who came here were not those greenhorns who had just started. They had long passed the adolescent period of exploring themselves, and now were at the prime age to use their own worldviews and methodologies to transform the world. They had a set of logic that could justify itself, and most of the time in their lives, they could perfectly implement this set of logic and execute their ideas well.

Under these circumstances, most of them would be a bit stubborn. Because their powerful abilities allowed them to realize what they followed, which would make their personalities become more stable and more firm. To put it bluntly, it's stubbornness.

Many people, when communicating with some successful people, will feel that this person has some very obvious shortcomings, and they are the kind of shortcomings that normal people can feel and are not very difficult to change. Clearly, after changing, they would become better people, so why don't they change?

The answer is because they are successful. The set of things they follow has been practiced countless times in their lives and made them more successful. So, they have always used the same routine, even if it might be mixed with many very obvious shortcomings, they won't change it. This is the so-called "if the code runs, don't touch it," which can also be called path dependence.

This will lead to some people not being able to keep up with the times, but that is actually just because the set they follow has the limitations of the times. If not, this is actually quite stable and safe, and also good for mental health.

And the things that superheroes follow clearly don't have the limitations of the times. Helping the weak, fighting crime, upholding justice—it has been like this for thousands of years, it's just a difference in means.

And facing a group of people who have implemented this logic for many years and have already achieved considerable success, changing them is very difficult. Wanting to make such people lose their sense of right and wrong, and the difficulty of making evil people turn over a new leaf is the same, or even higher.

Evil people are at least partially restricted by social morality, while heroes perfectly satisfy the requirements of social morality and satisfy the expectations of most people in this world for them. Changing such a person is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even if they don't have superpowers, their personalities won't be restricted. To put it bluntly, this evil spirit's brainwashing ability is simply not enough to change this group of stubborn people, and he can't even influence them.

You must know that this instance is full of experts. Schiller is not to mention, his personality can no longer be called stubborn, but can be called evil. Shadow Spider-Man has fought one against ten thousand for many years; this is a left-wing revolutionary hidden in American society, and this identity alone is enough to have gold content. Batman and Batwoman don't need to be mentioned; none of the Bat family are easy to provoke. And the only one who looks more like a soft persimmon, Superman, is still a rare variety among Supermen—a stubborn one who insists on confronting Batman head-on.

This group of people being assigned to the same instance makes this evil spirit's seemingly heaven-defying infinite possession and deception ability appear so weak and unbearable. The evil spirit, who could also be the final mastermind in a series of movies, has eaten one lesson after another on them, vividly interpreting what is called "being able to eat is a blessing."

After Kent left, the evil spirit was angry, but after thinking about it, he was still a bit uneasy. He was indeed worried that Kent would find out about the things back then, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud. He is a ghost now, so he is not afraid of legal judgment, but if too many people are brought into the town, it's hard to say what will happen.

The evil spirit gritted his teeth and chased after him. If he weren't trapped in the body, he could still find a way to trick this big guy, but he is just an ordinary person now. The gap in magnitude made him not dare to act easily.

During the chase, the evil spirit cursed in his heart. He hadn't forgotten that when he was manipulating Peter's body before, the owner of this body now, that is, the agent, hit him with a sprint and knocked him down. How great was that power? How could the evil spirit not know in his heart? At that time, he wasn't restricted, and wasn't he still pressed down and beaten by the other party?

As a result, now it was his turn to take over this body. The evil spirit originally had a little joy in his heart; he thought he could also have such strong power, but when he came up and looked, he was dumbfounded. This body, whether it was the body shape or muscle mass, could not erupt with such strong power at all. So how did this guy do it?!

Moreover, at that time, this guy was also cursed, and his left arm should have been completely unusable. But watching him hold a gun with both hands, jumping up and down, he was so flexible that you couldn't tell he was cursed at all. He thought the sneak attack at that time hadn't taken effect.

As a result, after logging in and looking, guess what? Not only did it take effect, but it was also super-doubled.

The long string of words that the agent said when skipping the plot that didn't match the character setting would deduct health. Although the system is soul tracking, the agent's soul was still in his own body at that time, and the way of deducting health was to accelerate the spread of the curse. But this curse was also spreading in his body, and it didn't hurt his soul. Now his soul has patted his butt and left, leaving the body to the evil spirit, so can it be good?

Now the evil spirit is not only black on the left arm, but this curse hasn't stopped spreading, but has polluted the entire left half of his body. Now his entire left half of his body is a bit numb.

When the evil spirit possesses a human body, he can ignore physical damage. Whether it's being shot or stabbed, it doesn't matter to the evil spirit; after all, he can even control mummified corpses. But there is only one thing that doesn't work, and that is being hit by black magic. He eats magic attacks.

There are less than ten people in this town, and the only one who knows black magic is the evil spirit. And then he successfully ate the black magic he concocted, and it was the system-enhanced version.

The evil spirit is actually also very confused. He remembers that the black magic he researched back then wasn't this strong; being able to necrotize an arm was already quite unexpected. How could it look like it was going to spread throughout the body without energy supply? "I made this? That's not right, is it?"

But he has no time to care about these now. After all, he can't change his body, so he can only make do with it. But precisely because this body has been eroded by black magic, he is controlling it worse and worse, leading to being a step slower. Kent has already found Linda, and the two of them are chatting.

No matter how stupid the evil spirit is, he knows that if he shows up at this time, it will definitely make Kent realize there is a problem. So he squatted behind the window, wanting to hear what they were saying.

"... I know, you are a town girl, but don't worry, I am also from a town. I come from Kansas, that town is so small you haven't even heard of it. Our family are all farmers, and no big figures have ever come out. I fully understand what it feels like to live in such a town."

"When you encounter some difficulties, you have no way to call the police like people in big cities. Because your whole family has to make a living under the police. If you offend the sheriff, who knows when he will trip you up, causing you to suffer heavy losses, or even be kicked out of the town."

"You have to follow many unwritten rules. Some rules look very strange, and even make you feel insulted and uncomfortable. But if you dare to violate them, you will be excluded by everyone, and you won't be able to mix in either."

"So I am not here to ask you why you didn't call the police, or why you didn't move away. I know this is very difficult to do. A town person who has left their hometown is nothing. Going to a big city will only be eaten clean, it's better to stay in your hometown."

"However, this doesn't mean we have to give up the bottom line of being a human. Some rules are just to unite the townspeople, because only unity can make more money; some rules are to stop crime, even if there is some trouble, it is for everyone's safety; even some xenophobic rules are because outsiders have committed crimes before, and they have to be guarded against. Even for many unreasonable federal laws, everyone turns a blind eye and doesn't strictly enforce them."

"But some things that happened in this town are absolutely not in this category; this is already a cruel act that touches the bottom line of human nature and cannot be condoned. Although a long time has passed, you are still alive after all. Even if you are dead, it doesn't mean that the evil things that happened in the past are just over. The significance of punishing evil and promoting good is not only in the present, but also in the future. How many such towns are there in the entire Federation, and how many town girls like you are there?"

Standing in front of the workbench in the tool room, Linda's movements suddenly stopped. When she straightened up, Kent saw that she had been grinding a sharp wooden stick. Now that wooden stick had been ground very sharp by her.

She turned around with a gloomy face, stared at Kent and said: "What exactly do you want?"

"I want to know the truth of that year. What exactly did you encounter, and how did all this happen. I swear, I will make everyone pay the price they deserve."
