Chapter 264 Witch Dispute
Ghosts are born from souls, but strictly speaking, ghosts have no direct relationship with the soul of a creature after death. Ghosts can simply be understood as a new life form born from the energy of the soul.
People often say that they become ghosts after death, which is somewhat taken for granted. Regardless of humans or monsters, under normal circumstances, ghosts that retain memories and cognition of life will not appear after death.
However, there will always be some abnormality if there is normality.
Among those ghosts that are transformed directly from the souls of the deceased under abnormal circumstances after death, the ghosts of humans and demons are quite special.
Just like relatively special ghosts like the Faceless Men, they have an evolutionary path that only ghosts directly transformed from human souls can possess.
Ghosts themselves have no ability to reproduce. Most dead souls will become banshees after evolution. There are also a small number of existences with strong gender consciousness that will take the path of elemental evil spirits.
When the banshee evolves again, the ghosts born from the demon's soul may further become the terrifying wailing banshee, and the demon may even classify the wailing banshee as a member of the demon group.
The ghosts born from human souls may evolve into faceless men.
Faceless Men are extremely dangerous spirits that can possess almost any creature.
Unlike Basanimu demons, they cannot maintain the survival of their hosts. Even if they do not actively eat away at the host's soul, the host's life functions will gradually decline until they turn into corpse demons hosted by them.
Once possessed by them, unless they have a higher soul strength than the Faceless Ones, their possession is almost impossible to expel.
When certain conditions are met, although the attack methods are relatively poor, the Faceless Man is no less deadly than the Wailing Banshee.
And the reason why people say that necromancers are good at torturing skeletons and undead, witches are experts at playing with ghosts.
It is because the witches have summed up a technique, combined with some complex rituals, that they can transform dying people into ghosts through human intervention, and try to subdue such ghosts and cultivate them in the direction of the faceless men.
If we must say that humans will turn into ghosts after death, the Faceless Man can probably be understood as a kind of human ghost.
At this time, outside the hotel, in addition to Tricia, there were seven women suspected of being witches.
These witches were arguing with Tebitha, and some residents were lying on the window sill on the second floor of the hotel. Some of them marveled at the "Wizard of Oz" outside, and some turned into melon-eaters to watch the witches and Tebitha quarreling.
The atmosphere at the scene was not very good, but there was no tendency to fight to the death.
"Mu, you're back! They've gone too far!" Mu Hua's arrival made many people upstairs shout that the show is about to begin, while Tabitha angrily stepped forward to accuse the witch opposite.
Deman was holding an electric baton like a fat bully security guard, Icarus waited indifferently for the fight to begin, while Vivian was licking her lips and staring at the three faceless men floating next to the witch, with that greedy little expression on her face. It just needs to be engraved with the words "want to kill people and steal goods".
Well, it's not that necromancers can't raise faceless men. There is even a 'Wall of Sighs' cast by faceless men in necromancy magic. It's just that necromancers can't create human ghosts. I heard that when the seventh one travels, he is nearby. There are always some human ghosts popping up.
Of course, training faceless men is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and Vivian's enthusiasm at this time is probably more about grabbing a ready-made one.
The Faceless Men are very fierce, but it is difficult for them to possess the Necromancer, and their bodies are also not very resistant to beatings. . .
"No, this lady, we can provide them with better help and a psychological structure that can help them recover faster. You have saved them, but you cannot restrict their freedom. It is up to them to choose who to follow. "
Faced with Tabetha's accusation, a witch retorted.
Seven witches, including two middle-aged women in their forties, and five old women who looked to be at least eighty years old.
When youth passes, many young witches can maintain their mature and elegant temperament, but equally, some of them look like the villain witches in the story.
As for the styles of witches who have a higher life class than witches, there is no need to mention them here for the time being.
Among the seven people, there were two witch-like witches who looked cunning and vicious, while Tricia shrugged helplessly at Mu Hua from a distance.
After listening to Tabitha's rough explanation, Mu Hua understood the purpose of these witches.
The group of slaves Kunna rescued had been sent to the hotel earlier. These witches found by Tricia accepted the rescued people who needed to be sent home, but at the same time, they also asked Tebitha to hand over the homeless rescued people. .
Maybe they have no ill intentions towards the rescued people, but as Vivian said, witches like to take slaves who have been trained by others as their followers.
They have a very positive attitude towards the rescued people, but after all, the witches are not fresh magical girls, and their thoughts are not that simple.
"Tricia, you called these guys here?" After figuring out the reason, Mu Hua ignored the other witches and asked Tricia.
"Well, you don't expect me to send them all home alone, do you? Don't worry about this Wizard of Oz, it's harmless, and after canceling this illusion, the remaining life dust will nourish the vegetation and trees here." Tricia explained said.
"I don't care if there's any harm or not. If you feel uncomfortable, get rid of it immediately." Mu Hua frowned in disgust.
"They don't listen to me. Of course, I'm also very happy to see them get beaten." Tricia spread her hands helplessly. She didn't stand with the witches, but was quite interested in encouraging Mu Hua to fight with these witches.
"Ha, little bitch, is this man strong?" A witch who looked like a neighbor's aunt teased. She looked quite gentle, but her words when talking to Tricia were very bad.
"Tsk, bitch, if I were you, take the people away quickly. You are now like a group of shrews who are fussy." Tricia said to the witch with disgust.
"No, these people should also go with us. Even if it's work, we can introduce them to jobs with higher pay."
The witch pointed at a group of people protected by the life puppets behind her and refuted Tricia, but her eyes were looking at Mu Hua, as if she was explaining to Mu Hua.
"Since they want it, let them take it away." Ignoring the witch, Mu Hua said to Taibesha.
Standing behind the living puppets were the people who were sent from the cave, but they were homeless.
To be honest, Mu Hua didn't really care about these people. Perhaps he himself didn't realize that since he learned to create magical life, he had a kind of arrogance in his heart, an arrogance that ignored life.
This indifference didn't mean that Mu Hua didn't care about the life and death of life, but he didn't care much about those who had no friendship.
Even if they were slaves, wouldn't it be better if he wanted to create them himself? Arguing with others for them would make Mu Hua feel a little troublesome and not worth it.
"No! And they would rather stay here." Taibesha said to Mu Hua.
Mu Hua looked at the people protected by the living puppets. Sure enough, these people were more wary of witches. Compared with a group of strange witches, the noisy hotel seemed to give them more sense of security.
The atmosphere created by the witches was quite intimidating. If Taibesha wasn't there, they might be able to comfort these rescued people. Unfortunately, now they have made people feel a little bit of a common enemy and are full of defense against them.
"Where are the others?" Mu Hua turned to look at Tricia.
"They are all with me. They will send them back to their families later. I didn't expect them to be so troublesome. If you want to beat them up, I can help you." Tricia said to Mu Hua.
"Shut up, little bitch, you should learn to respect your elders." A witch scolded Tricia.
"Ha! Want to fight?" Tricia raised her fist.
"Don't think you are great just because you have a hunter! Bleeding curse!" The witch threatened by Tricia raised her hand and threw a curse at Tricia.
"Damn, old bitch, you are looking for death!" When seeing the curse thrown by the witch, Tricia's face immediately became hideous, and this curse also made Mu Hua's eyebrows jump.
Bleeding curse, a low-level curse, its curse effect is quite general, that is, to speed up the bleeding of the wound.
However, this curse is a bit unfriendly to young women, especially young women who have their period.
It won't cause much damage on the physical level, but if you get a bloody crotch from this curse, well, especially when there are many people, the mental blow should be very serious.
And the witches seem to like to throw this curse at each other. . .
"Wandering Hunter! Start!" Tricia put on the machine, and there was a whistle and cheer from the second floor of the hotel. There was also a group of people who were watching the fun and didn't mind making trouble.
Alas, adventurers, no matter how strong or weak, Mu Hua has never seen a little fresh one so far.
Several witches hurriedly tried to stop Tricia from fighting with the witch. It seemed that the wandering witches were not so close. Some people pulled Tricia and the witch, and there were also witches fanning the flames.
In a blink of an eye, the witches seemed to be fighting, and the scene was a bit weird.
At this time, Mu Hua called the security team.
"Hello, security team? There are wandering witches causing trouble here. Where? Deman Hotel. What? You don't care? Hey, watch your attitude. Contact the Night Hunter? Fuck!"
Mu Hua hung up the call. At this time, Tricia stopped calling. A group of witches stared at Mu Hua who was calling the police.
"I don't have Will's phone number. Do you have one?" Under the strange gaze of everyone, Mu Hua asked Deman.
"666 should be okay?" Deman said to Mu Hua. The so-called 666 can be simply understood as an emergency number such as 110 and 911.
"Oh, damn, this number always makes me feel stupid." While talking, Mu Hua was about to dial the phone again.
"Damn it, stop it, don't call the police for me! Are you still a necromancer?" Tricia gave up the old woman who was fighting with her and stepped forward to stop Mu Hua.
"Nonsense, this is the human world, of course you have to find the police if there is something wrong." Mu Hua said as a matter of course.
Unfortunately, Mu Hua's statement was not supported. There were boos from the direction of the hotel. In addition to Deman, even Taibesha looked at him with disgust.
This kind of behavior of everyone coming out to fight, but you sued the teacher, was obviously rejected by many people.
"How about, Boss, I will do it? I guess they don't dare to fight back here." Mu Hua raised his middle finger in the direction of the hotel, and at this time, Deman came forward with an electric baton.
At this time, Deman was arrogant and ready to fight alone. He is a resident, the kind that can't be purer, and he has never even been certified as an adventurer.
"..." The witches were silent. They hated people like Mu Hua and Deman.
If this was not the human world, if this was not their private land, the witches said that they would definitely pickle the fat man in front of them for the winter! ! ! (End of chapter)
