I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 14: The Fleeing Clone

"He went out?"

"Why did he get out!"

"He shouldn't be out!"

Waves of tiny whispers rang out, interweaving with each other, and continued to echo behind the counter.

And the resentment that is invisible to the naked eye also began to rise here.

However, after a figure stepped in from outside, everything in this ghost magic shop instantly returned to normal.

The person who came in was obviously a living person.

He was wearing a mask with a tiger face embedded in a human face. He seemed to be very familiar with this place, because as soon as he came in, he said, "I'm not buying ghost magic, I'm buying information. The price is based on the ghost magic."

Suddenly, the light here began to change from dim to bright, and the figures standing in front of the counter became clearly visible.

They were people wearing black robes. Their faces could not be seen clearly because they were wearing thick masks without any facial features. One could only tell from their physical features that there were men and women among them.

However, what is more strange is that these people wearing masks without facial features are motionless at this time, like puppets.

The door behind the counter opened, and a figure walked out from behind the counter. With every step the figure took, its silhouette became clearer.

When it became completely visible, what appeared before people was a very horrifying scene.

Because this is a stone ball entangled with iron chains, and on this ball, there are human faces. These faces are male and female, old and young, and the expressions presented by each are also different.

"What news do you want?" However, the faces and expressions were different, but the words spoken by these faces were exactly the same.

"In the weird game, there's news of evil spirits disappearing recently. Is that true?" asked the man wearing a tiger mask.

"It's true." Different voices turned into the same answer.

The man immediately took out a bloody finger, placed it on the counter, and asked, "Who did it?"

However, the stone ball did not answer him, and the faces on it all looked at this man.

There were crying faces, smiling faces, and angry faces... For a moment, this man's scalp went numb, thinking that the stone ball ghost was going to attack him.

Fortunately, at this time, these faces spoke again: "This is the second news."

"This is the severed finger of the dead wood ghost, which is worth ten Yin virtues. And the price of a ghost technique is five Yin virtues." The man breathed a sigh of relief and said this hurriedly.

But the stone ball did not agree with this price at all: "The severed finger of the dead wood ghost is only worth this price among you people. Here, it is only worth five Yin virtues."

The man was silent, but soon he took out another bloody finger: "This is another severed finger of the Dead Wood Ghost."

The faces on the stone ball looked at the finger and seemed to have determined its value. Then they said, "I don't know, and no one knows."

"No one knows?" The man was a little shocked, because in this place where humans and ghosts live together, once a transaction begins, you cannot deceive the other party.

Although this stone ball looks like a special evil spirit, it is actually the rebellious incarnation of a Yin God.

It was said that the Yin God had an accident and was sealed up. During the time when the Yin God was sealed up, his clone gained self-awareness, so after failing to counterattack, the clone fled to this place where people and ghosts live together, using the special features of this place to avoid being hunted down by his original body.

Because it has stolen some of the power of the Yin God, this stone ball ghost can find out many unknown things.

Soon, the man left. Coincidentally, just as the man walked out of the store, Tan Shuchang, who had been strolling in the market for a while, came back.

There are many ghosts in this lively and quiet market, but Tan Shuchang feels that the ghosts setting up stalls are not very powerful, and they might even be players.

The most important thing is that Tan Shuchang can't understand anything sold at these stalls, and he feels he can't use them.

So, instead of risking catching those who set up stalls, it is better to catch the one who opened the shop.

To be able to open a store in this place where humans and ghosts live together, even if it is just the outermost area, the person who opened the store must be a very powerful ghost.

After all, there are only a few shops in this market.

Tan Shuchang's return also made the stone ball ghost here very happy, because the more newcomers it hunted, the more powerful it would gain.

"Only the real body is allowed to enter here!" The stone ball ghost came directly in front of Tan Shuchang.

At this moment, Tan Shuchang saw the true form of this evil ghost. Looking at the strong evil aura on the other party, he was instantly overjoyed.

I have come to the right place!

Look at how ferocious this evil ghost is, it’s almost as vicious as the evil spirit!

Yin God is a powerful ghost above the evil ghost. However, although it is called a god, the essence of this thing has not changed much.

The only difference is that compared to evil spirits, the Yin Spirit is not only more powerful, but also has begun to be able to control itself, and even its consciousness is no different from that of a normal living person.

"no problem."

Tan Shuchang agreed immediately, but when his real body arrived at the place where humans and ghosts lived together, the owner of the ghost shop suddenly screamed in fear: "Who on earth are you?"

After all, it is a renegade clone of a Yin God. The evil ghost cannot see it, but the evil ghost of this stone ball can already see something.

Tan Shuchang didn't waste time talking to it, as he only needed one last evil ghost.

Immediately, black light flowed between the five fingers of his left hand. When black runes appeared in them, the stone ball ghost could not move.

This is the power of calm.

Then, Tan Shuchang put it into his sleeve with an extremely rough and simple method.

"Since we're here, we might as well pack up some of these things and take them back to take a closer look." Tan Shuchang originally wanted to leave directly, but his eyes turned and swept across the two strange severed fingers and a dozen sealed bamboo slips on the counter, and he took them all away.

He had heard a player mention the term "ghost magic" in a previous instance. Judging from the emotions he had when he misunderstood it as a ghost magic, this ghost magic item must be very powerful. Therefore, even if he could not use it himself, it would be good to use it to exchange information about evil spirits with other players in the future.

With a thought in his mind, he summoned the attribute box and focused his eyes on the last mask pattern. In an instant, Tan Shuchang left the place where these people and ghosts lived together.

However, Tan Shuchang left without hesitation. The place became chaotic not long after he left.

Because those figures standing still were the ones who entered this place where humans and ghosts lived together for the first time, and were bewitched by the stone ball ghost to enter with their real bodies. Then, after being led to make mistakes, they let the stone ball ghost take away their "human faces".

These people were like living puppets, but unlike living puppets, when the stone ball ghost, their master, was gone, these people immediately "woke up". However, because they had no faces at this time, they could not see or hear, so they could only pounce and grab around.

As these faceless men ran away, the stone ball ghost in the ghost shop had mysteriously disappeared, and the news that the ghost shop had been robbed also spread.
