Ghost Compendium-Chapter 425 - 377: Assault and Rescue! (Part 2)

No matter what, the sensing and judgment of the Fierce Ghost within me say — there is nothing ahead!

And the various things that fell when the table shattered also seemed to have hit nothing, dropping straight to the ground.

If it weren't for the obvious pause when Wu Liang swung his fist and clearly hit something, visually it seemed he smashed the table with an empty punch.

"There's a familiar stench on you... You must be a creation of the Pioneer, right?" Wu Liang rubbed his fist and said mockingly, "That old geezer is really lucky; he survived another year and actually researched a monster like you?"

With that, he suddenly leapt as if to avoid some attack targeted at his lower body.

Then, as if performing a mime, he sometimes made dodging actions in front of everyone or reached out to block glass jars.

Finally, pointing quietly next to the Zodiac Pig with his index finger, he said:

"In the name of [reality], I strip away the air, temperature, time, and everything that exists here."

Whoosh—

When the last word was spoken, the people around Zodiac Rabbit saw a vague humanoid form appearing slowly beside the Zodiac Pig, who was wrapped in protective gear.

Perhaps due to Wu Liang's previous mention of stripping temperature, the vague humanoid didn't truly manifest but appeared as a frozen humanoid sculpture.

The invisible entity is most likely inside this ice sculpture.

It raised its arm high in a chopping motion, and the ice sculpture formed was just a few centimeters away from the Zodiac Pig's head.

Seeing the opponent completely incapacitated, Wu Liang bent down and patted Yin Qiming's face.

The seemingly casual patting was actually using the [reality] Law to continuously modify and check his body.

After finally erasing a nearly undetectable curse from Yin Qiming, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Then he started gasping for air, with a tinge of fear still lingering in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly.

"Bastard...actually tried to force me back into that state again!" he said through clenched teeth.

In those few minutes of unconsciousness,

Yin Qiming felt the same fear as when his consciousness and soul were trapped within the Pioneer shell back then.

A predicament where he could perceive everything around him but was unable to move like a vegetative state.

He had been trapped inside the Pioneer for years, and even a temporary return to that state was enough to make him tremble instinctively.

Dealing with the Zodiac Dragon's issues these days had indeed diverted his attention from other matters.

He was unexpectedly easy to be ensnared by a curse!

"Are you done cursing? If so, come over and see how to handle this thing." Wu Liang's voice came from in front of him.

When Yin Qiming raised his head, his gaze was immediately drawn to the human-shaped ice sculpture.

With just one look, he was completely stunned.

He then took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Damn...he really managed to create it…"

Wu Liang, puzzled, asked, "Create what?"

This kind of artificial Fierce Ghost is only recorded in the Ghost Compendium with its abilities; there's no knowing how it was created.

That's why Wu Liang woke Yin Qiming to take a look.

After all, he was the one most familiar with the Pioneer!

Yin Qiming stepped forward to touch the ice sculpture and solemnly explained, "A long time ago, the Pioneer considered whether, in the process of creating an artificial ghost, Awakened individuals could be used as transformation targets to gain Fierce Ghost abilities while retaining their own Awakened Abilities."

"It never succeeded before, and it's unexpected that after humanity's full awakening, he actually did it!"

"But it shouldn't be! Experiments with Awakened ones have been done before, and the sudden success now is almost like…"

Wu Liang suddenly interjected with a grim face, "As if a miracle happened."

"Yes, exactly." Yin Qiming had to admit that it was almost miraculous.

He could see that the artificial ghost in the ice sculpture had clearly used both Awakened and Fierce Ghost abilities simultaneously to reach such a concealed level.

But he couldn't understand how the Pioneer combined the two.

This was different from the principle of Awakened being coexistent with a Fierce Ghost!

This essentially allowed a Fierce Ghost to have Awakened Abilities!

A Fierce Ghost that could awaken was already the most bizarre issue!

And Wu Liang's expression became increasingly grim.

Because he realized the world's BUG seemed not only to manifest in Director Long.

Although lacking concrete evidence, there was an intuition — the Pioneer also received some kind of BUG alteration.

And unfortunately, the BUG change the Pioneer received seemingly made him even stronger.

Now the other side already knew about Director Long's unconscious state.

The earlier artificial ghost was likely just a probe, and soon there would probably be more intense and terrifying assaults targeting the authorities.

If Director Long continued to lie in the glass jar like fish on a chopping block, then death would soon follow.

The only thing to do now is to awaken Director Long as soon as possible!

"From now on, everyone must leave this room and awaken the Zodiac Pig to leave as well," Wu Liang suddenly issued an unbelievable order.

All the medical personnel were stunned.

Not to mention the potential chaos in adjusting the supernatural fluids without anyone monitoring.

If the Zodiac Pig also left, Director Long could be violently awakened by the intense pain!

"Wu Liang, you…"

Before the Zodiac Rabbit could continue to ask, Wu Liang showed a faint smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure he wakes up intact."

Given the circumstances, trusting Wu Liang seemed the only option.

The Zodiac Rabbit forced himself to have the medical staff evacuate and also took the unconscious Zodiac Pig, who stopped sharing the pain, out of the room.

But Yin Qiming remained unmoved, standing in place.

He merely looked into Wu Liang's eyes and then said flatly, "I need to record all of this. The second awakening is important, and your ability is crucial for my research."

No pretense or avoidance.

He straightforwardly stated what he wanted to know.

Wu Liang locked eyes with him for about five seconds.

Finally sighed and said, "You can stay."

In fact, Wu Liang wasn't worried that Yin Qiming could deduce his ability through observation alone.

After all, the [reality] Law was something that transcended all understanding.

Just like primitive people couldn't construct an aircraft carrier from merely observing cars in motion.

He simply intended to satisfy Yin Qiming's curiosity so that when facing the Pioneer later, the latter would fully assist him.

Wu Liang never forgot that this guy didn't fundamentally have a strong desire to save the world.

He only wanted revenge against the Pioneer.

Getting Wu Liang's permission, Yin Qiming leaned against the wall and fixed his gaze unwaveringly on the glass jar.

It was a rare opportunity to observe Wu Liang's ability up close without worrying about harm.

He must seize this opportunity!

Crack—

Before Yin Qiming could react, the glass jar holding Director Long suddenly emitted a cracking sound.

The surrounding space began to distort visibly.

Many pieces of medical equipment were shattered by the space distortion, and various supernatural fluids started spraying around.

Most horrifyingly, Director Long's entire form expanded more than a circle, and dragon scales and even a dragon's tail began to appear on his body.

"Indeed, cutting off the pain-sharing immediately leads to this." Yin Qiming said grimly.

This was a conclusion he had already predicted.

Under extreme pain, Director Long would unconsciously activate his Awakened Ability to undergo dragonification, followed by a true berserk state.

A distressing disaster, a powerhouse nearing Nation-Destroying Level abilities going berserk.

What will Wu Liang do?

Yin Qiming focused his gaze on Wu Liang, anticipating the latter's actions.

But he saw a scene that shocked him, eyes widening in disbelief —

No use of Awakened Abilities or Fierce Ghost Abilities.

Wu Liang simply raised his hand, smiled, and pointed at Director Long: "Brother, stop dragonification, close the space distortion, I'm here to save you."
