154 Strange
It was not that Ning Shi did not want to capture these evil spirit insects alive and take them back for in-depth research.
When he first encountered the evil spirit assassin in the Zong family, he wanted to capture it alive, but he couldn’t do it.
In addition to the fact that the evil spirit’s body was very special and extremely difficult to trap and capture, the more important reason was that once the evil spirit realized that it was being imprisoned or captured, it would immediately self-destruct.
After they self-destructed, the world’s essence power in their bodies would automatically return to the Evil Spirit World origin treasure. As long as they had emotions, they could be reborn.
!!
Therefore, the evil spirit could not be captured at all. Ning Shi decisively chose to kill it.
[ Killed 1 evil spirit insect. Gained 7 World Energy points. ]
[ Killed 1 evil spirit insect. Gained 8 World Energy points. ]
…
He had killed a total of 107 evil spirit insects and obtained 755 World Energy points. He had topped up the energy required for the game version update to (10576/50000).
After killing the evil spirit insect, Ning Shi also saw its specific information.
[ Character: Evil spirit insect ]
[ Constitution: 10 (10) ]
[ Spiritual power: 15 (40) ]
[ Appearance: 3 (the cute one among evil spirit species) ]
[ Family background: 7 (advanced evil spirit) ]
[ upation: Evil Spirit insect ]
[ Skill: Parasitism level 8 ]
[ Endowment: Evil spirit body (purple), fused growth (purple) ]
[ Description: A viral creature from the world of evil spirits, adept at parasitizing various living creatures. ]
Surprisingly, the evil spirit insects that had not been parasitized did not have high stats. Their vitality was only 10.
[ Parasitism level 8, the evil spirit insect’s innate skill. It can parasitize a living creature’s body. The sess rate of parasitism depends on the individual strength of the host. Level 8 parasitism will be immune to creatures with strength such as overlords, gods, and level-surpassing magical beasts. ]
[ Fusion growth (purple). After the evil spirit insect parasitizes a living creature, it will fuse with the host and grow rapidly. The host will randomly master puppetry, closebat, hypnosis, spirit storm, and many other skills. ]
[ Puppetry: you can choose one or more creatures to be your puppets. The puppets are invulnerable and extremely strong but have no consciousness. ]
[ Hypnotism: By using hand gestures, sounds, and movements, you can temporarily control the behavior of living creatures. The living creature that is hypnotized must be intelligent. ]
The evil spirit insects’ skills were a set. Closebat enhanced their closebat strength, and the puppetry skill gave them a meat shield and further strengthened their closebat.
Hypnosis was a control ability. Once an evil spirit insect sessfully parasitized a human, the parasite could use hypnosis to control more people and make them obediently let the evil spirit insect parasitize them.
The mind storm was a long-range mental attack.
The evil spirit insect was crunchy when it wasn’t parasitized, but once it was parasitized, it would be a jack of all trades with closebat, long-range, and control abilities for a short period of time.
This kind of expert also had a very abnormal disguise ability.
Ning Shi had just relied on his perception and the Eye of Truth’s ability to see through concealment, but he was unable to detect the existence of the evil spirit insect.
He had to use the Eye of Truth on the parasite He Chuankun to detect the abnormality.
It was hard to tell how many humans had been controlled by these evil spirit insects.
Ning Shi felt that they should have just developed in Yunmeng Kingdom and did not have many parasites. Or rather, all the parasites might have been killed.
However, the situation overseas was not looking good.
Perhaps many high-level figures in the West had already been infected by the evil spirit insects.
These evil spirit parasites were disguised as humans and held military and political power. Combined with the preaching ability of the Evil Spirit and the addiction to stimting music, they were able to control the evil spirit.
Ning Shi could only sigh.
The three disasters weremon disasters for mankind. If it was within his ability, he was still willing to give a certain amount of help to foreign countries.
Moreover, the origin treasure of the Evil Spirit World was now Ning Shi’s enemy. Helping foreign countries to resist the evil spirit insects was helping him.
Ning Shi nned to let the war insects and the guardian spirit insects kill some zergs with strong mental power to help the government extract more ‘Shen’ material and make more evil spirit detectors.
They would then sell it overseas at a fixed price.
To deal with evil spirits, one must first be able to see them.
The altar had been destroyed. ording to the game system’s prompt, the other side of the altar was the Evil Spirit World.
Before the evil spirits built a new altar in the Yunmeng Kingdom, there would not be arge number of evil spirits appearing in the kingdom.
Actually, after seeing the altar, Ning Shi heaved a sigh of relief.
Evil spirits had to pass through the altar to enter and exit the, which was good news. Although evil spirits were not easy to detect, the altar was rtively easy to detect.
As long as he strengthened the detection of the altar, he would be able to control the spread of the evil spirits.
The game system had recorded Ning Shi’s actions just now.
Ning Shi contacted Hu Changjun and uploaded the image of the altar and the parasitism behavior of He Chuankun and the others to the official website of the secret warehouse.
He also told the officials about the abilities and characteristics of the evil spirit insect’s parasitism.
After Hu Changjun saw the information, his expression became extremely serious. He made a promise on the spot, saying that he would fight for more merit points for Ning Shi.
“Xiao Ning, the Overlord has already decided that you will obtain two S-level spiritual crystals. We’re going through the proper procedures now. I’ll personally deliver the spiritual crystals to you in two days!”
Hearing Hu Changjun’s words, Ning Shi was also relieved. He needed S-level spiritual crystals to improve his strength and transformation abilities.
Although Hu Changjun had promised before, the matter of the reward had not been settled, and Ning Shi was also afraid of unexpected twists and turns.
...
After thanking Hu Changjun, Ning Shi hung up the phone.
After destroying the evil spirit’s stronghold, Ning Shi returned to school.
He first found Ilya and asked her to send him back to the bug world. He then gave the insectmander Ning Yi an order to collect the corpses of the mental-type bugs.
Then, he returned to school.
It was already 5:30 in the morning. Looking at the slightly bright morning light on the horizon, Ning Shi’s mood rxed.
In the next three days, there were no more incidents of evil spirits killing people.
The atmosphere gradually calmed down.
The winners and runners-up of the other cities’ campuspetitions had already been decided. Only Donglin City was dyed due to the evil spirit.
The campuspetition was held in 64 cities across the country. The champion of each city would be qualified to go to the Central City to participate in the nationalpetition.
The champion of the Donglin Citypetition had not been decided, and the Nationalpetition could not be held.
After the official assessment of the evil spirit’s situation, they decided to continue thepetition.
...
The semi-finals and finals ended on the same day. At thepetition venue, the officials had gathered many experts and were patrolling with the evil spirit detector.
No evil spirits appeared, and thepetition ended smoothly.
As expected, Ning Shi’s Donglin City’s First Strength Awakener School won the city championship. The First Awakener School still managed to fight their way up from the losers’ group and obtained second ce.
Ning Shi arrived at the scene to watch the finals.
In the finals, there was an unexpected situation. ording to the rotation order, Jiang Bichao would be the first to fight in the finals.
When he was fighting against Yan Guangxun, he almost lost.
Yan Guangxun’s every move was aimed at Jiang Bichao’s vital points. His expression was crazy and bloodthirsty. Jiang Bichao had never met such a crazy opponent before. He was almost burned to death by the violent chain of fireballs.
Fortunately, Jiang Bichao did not provide support at this crucial moment. Instead of retreating, he advanced. He endured the heat of the fireball, gritted his teeth, and rushed in front of Yan Guangxun. Only then did he regain the initiative and win the game.
Jiang Bichao paid the price as well. He was hit by a fireball, and his hair, eyebrows, and clothes were all burned. Arge area of his body was also burned.
When they saw Jiang Bichao’s naked body and bald head, everyone burst intoughter. However, Ning Shi felt that something was wrong.
A few days ago, Yan Guangxun was still a bright and sunny student. He didn’t make any extreme moves in thepetition, but in today’spetition, his moves were extremely aggressive, with a hint of killing intent.
It was the unique aura of someone who had killed and seen blood.
Ning Shi felt very strange. He was a student, and his energy had been spent on thepetition during this period. Where did he have time to carry out actualbat-killing training?
Due to the existence of the evil spirit insect, Ning Shi was more cautious. He used the Eye of Truth on Yan Guangxun.
From the information he had gathered, he was just a normal Tier 3 awakener. He was not infected by the evil spirit insect and there was nothing special about him.
Ning Shi’s intuition told him that there was something wrong with this Yan Guangxun. The changes before and after were too great.
During this period, Zhu Daniu had been stationed at the First Awakener School. Ning Shi gave him a call.
“Captain Zhu, has there been anything unusual in the First Awakener School? Have all the cases of the evil spirit murder been closed?”
When Zhu Daniu heard Ning Shi’s question, he was silent for a moment before he replied, “Consultant Ning, there’s something strange. Where are you? I’ll go over and talk to you in detail.”
