In the villa.
Hu Qing stood up in shock as he looked at the crazily rotating compass in his hand.
There was an inexplicable coolness all around.
Immediately afterwards, figures one after another gathered around the villa hall.
Seven in total.
"What the hell is going on!" Hu Qing's eyes widened in shock.
There are so many ghosts in this villa? The key is why hasn’t Compass discovered it before?
Moreover, seeing these seven figures, Hu Qing thought of looking at the information about this villa.
In the past ten years or so, the people who died in this villa include a couple, an old man, a family of three, a rich second generation, and a doctor, exactly 7 people.
Did all the people who died in the villa become ghosts?
"Mr. Hu, they are not ghosts, they are so strange." Liu Qingqing said in surprise at this time.
"Not a ghost?" Hu Qing frowned and looked at these seven figures. There was indeed something abnormal. The eyes of these seven figures were all white, looking empty and obviously unconscious.
If it is a ghost, the weakest earth-bound spirit retains consciousness even after repeating the death process. Even if the spirit's consciousness is swallowed up by resentment, there is visible anger in its eyes, which cannot be empty.
Just as Hu Qing was thinking about it, the seven figures had already rushed towards him.
Hu Qing didn't dare to hesitate, and as soon as he had an idea, he took all the equipment on the inventory.
Leather gloves, silver bracelets, and paralysis rings instantly appeared on his hands.
At the same time, the ebony sword also appeared in his palm, and in an instant, he felt the power of the equipment's attributes.
Looking at the status bar again, the data has increased a lot.
Defense: 4+1
Magic Control: 4+1
Attack: 6+7
Agility: 6+1
A figure rushed in front of Hu Qing.
Hu Qing swung his sword decisively and cut the figure directly. Under this sword, the place where the figure was struck made a hissing sound, and a gap appeared. Then the gap quickly became larger. In an instant, the figure was cut. The figure dissipated.
Now his attack has reached 13, and the ebony sword has the power to restrain evil, which is much stronger than when he dealt with Liu Qingqing. Moreover, this guy is much weaker than Liu Qingqing who became a wraith.
Hu Qing swung his sword and slashed at the second figure again. This time, he knew what these guys were, because two illusory words had appeared in the middle of the figure's body: [Puppet Spirit]
How could it be this thing?
Hu Qing's mind immediately thought of some information about puppet spirits that he had read while checking mysterious legends on the Internet.
Puppet spirits are actually puppets, just soul puppets.
There are many evil creatures in mysterious legends that can turn people into puppets, but there are also many evil ghosts that kill living people and can devour the consciousness of the dead and turn them into ghosts.
The ebony sword in Hu Qing's hand slashed through the second puppet spirit, and also scattered the puppet spirit's body.
The power of puppet spirits depends on the strength in front of them. These guys were just ordinary people in front of them. Now they are made into ghost spirits and they are not too strong.
Next to her, Liu Qingqing waved her hand, and the other guilty spirits that were surrounding them immediately flew away. She pressed down hard with her hands, and the figures of those guilty spirits were like tofu being distorted by the pressure, and then collapsed.
Hu Qing did not breathe a sigh of relief when the seven guilty spirits were scattered. He had not gained experience yet.
More importantly, if there is a guilty spirit, there must be an evil ghost who can create a guilty spirit. This guy is the trouble.
Fortunately, it took the other party more than ten years to create these seven puppet spirits, which shows that this guy is not too strong. Just find out the source and eliminate them.
At this moment, Hu Qing saw the seven puppet spirits condensed again.
This time, they all looked in the direction of the entrance to the hall.
The sound of footsteps also sounded at this time. .
A figure walked in slowly.
"Billy?" Hu Qing frowned.
The person who came turned out to be the landlord's entrusted agent. However, at this time, his eyes were as white as those of the guilty spirits. The only difference was that his eyes still emitted a slight white light.
"Billy? I would rather you call me Barton. After all, they all call me that. Isn't this the Barton Villa?" Billy looked at Hu Qing with a face full of teasing.
"You can't be Barton!" Hu Qing frowned. No matter how the ghost changes, there is an iron law that it cannot be too far away from the source. Moreover, it is impossible to walk around in broad daylight.
After all, other ghosts cannot be like Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing can follow him everywhere because the pendant has become her new source and is lying in his inventory. It seems that due to system reasons, it is within a certain range around him. Not even afraid of the sun.
Other ghosts are simply out of the question.
If the other party was really Barton, who was the first one to be burned to death, it would be impossible for the other party to walk around in broad daylight, let alone work online in real estate and become a real estate agent.
"What a pity, I am Barton!" Barton smiled. Suddenly, the white light in his eyes became brighter, and the seven puppet spirits seemed to be ordered to attack Hu Qing in an instant.
But soon, the seven puppet spirits were scattered again by Hu Qing and Liu Qingqing. .
"Ghost? Demon hunter?" Barton stared at Hu Qing and Liu Qingqing, with a greedy look in his eyes: "Very good, the stronger you are, the more powerful I can make you into puppet spirits."
"What a beautiful idea." The girl shouted, waving her hand at Barton to attack.
But this time, her attack was ineffective.
Barton was determined not to move, but he waved his backhand, and Liu Qingqing was knocked away. This was obviously a telepathic attack, stronger than Liu Qingqing's.
"Don't overestimate your own capabilities!" Barton knocked Liu Qingqing away, then looked at Hu Qing, waved his hand violently, and a force suddenly hit Hu Qing.
Hu Qing groaned and staggered back several steps. A reminder appeared in his mind:
【Life-3】【52/55】
This kind of attack is obviously more powerful than Liu Qingqing's. At first, Liu Qingqing's telekinesis attack couldn't break his magic resistance. Now his magic resistance is higher, with a magic resistance of 5, but the opponent's attack actually penetrated directly. It penetrated his magic control and caused him to lose 3 health points.
What if the opponent continuously attacks?
"You actually resisted?" Barton looked at Hu Qing in surprise.
The next moment, he rushed in front of Hu Qing, very fast, and he actually punched Hu Qing.
"???" Hu Qing subconsciously waved his hand to resist, but as soon as he touched it, he felt a strong force and severe pain in his arm.
He couldn't believe that this guy had a body and that the other party was a real person?
How could he make a puppet? That's the power of ghosts.
The punches came continuously, Hu Qing panicked to resist, and was finally punched in the chest. His whole body was knocked out and hit hard on the table in the hall.
The high-end table that Karamatsu asked someone to buy was smashed into pieces.
【Life-10】【42/55】
Hu Qing only felt huge pain on his body. The opponent's physical attack was actually stronger than the mental attack.
But when he looked at Barton again, he saw illusory words emerging from his body: [Illusive Man-Ghost]
"Fuck! Damn it!" Hu Qing cursed secretly in shock.
How could it be this kind of thing?
He finally understood why this guy could make puppet spirits and have such a strong body of flesh and blood.
I read information about phantoms on the Internet, and I also read about phantoms when I watched The Force of Evil with my ex-girlfriend in my previous life.
Phantoms are not inherently existing monsters such as vampires, werewolves, and ghosts.
Phantoms are monsters created by humans. Sometimes human power is very weak, but sometimes it is very strong.
When everyone believes that there are mysterious events occurring in a certain place, even if there are no monsters there, phantoms may appear.
The phantom is a product of concentrated human thoughts, and its shape is determined by human imagination.
He understood. This guy said his name was Barton, and he was the phantom created by the rumors about this haunted house.
People nearby talked about and spread the story of Barton's haunted house. It was spread in online forums and was also used in movies. Slowly, a phantom named Barton appeared. Its identity was the ghost rumored by people.
The Phantom Man's ability was very weak when he first appeared. As time goes by, as humans keep talking about it, the more people talk about it, the stronger their power will be, and they will have the same body as ordinary people.
Obviously, this Barton has had a body for more than ten years. If he continues to be given time, he may one day become a very terrifying existence.
This is how some wild gods appeared in ancient times. Those gods were all phantoms in the beginning.
But fantasy people don’t just appear. There must be some special source that can carry them. Otherwise, if people talk about a lot of things, such as money, Internet celebrities and celebrities, wouldn’t they all become fantasy people?
The most important thing is that Huanren's power is very weak when he first has a body. His power will disappear within a certain range of the source, and he will not be able to exert any power, just like a normal person.
Moreover, like ghosts, if the source is destroyed, the other party will disappear. In ancient times, many wild gods were killed by the gods that were destroyed.
This Barton's power obviously cannot leave this villa, otherwise the noise he has made after so long must be more than this.
Moreover, the purpose of the other party going to such trouble to attract people to buy a house is probably to maintain the terrifying legend here and maintain their own source of power, without attracting too much attention and causing the villa to be destroyed.
After knowing the details about Barton, Hu Qing calmed down.
He has a way to deal with Barton.
Somewhere in this villa, there must be the source of the other party's carrying capacity. Just find it and destroy it. Moreover, he has a clue.
Thinking about it, Hu Qing put away the ebony sword in his hand and made a fight, as if he was going to fight Barton hand-to-hand.
"Hahaha, ignorant." Barton smiled disdainfully.
Hu Qing did not hesitate, and had already attacked Barton with his fist. His attack did not seek strength, but only speed, hoping to trigger the effect of the paralysis ring.
Since Barton has a flesh and blood body, the paralysis ring can paralyze him.
But at this speed, the strength was weak, and several consecutive punches were easily blocked by Barton.
"That's all you have?" Barton's words were filled with disdain. He even had the intention of playing tricks. He was not in a hurry to attack Hu Qing, but wanted to make Hu Qing unable to attack and show his despair.
But suddenly, Barton's face was startled: "What's going on..."
He suddenly felt that something was wrong with his body, and he seemed weak and limp.
