Fang Zong put on the reserved smile typical of people from the East and bowed slightly: "Peter, you should know that I am just a doctor."
Upon hearing this, Peter hesitated for a moment.
He was just testing Fang Zong, and he was very suspicious that Fang Zong was really just a doctor who could escape from the Netherworld Train.
But if Fang Zong were to perish inside the town of Carmel, the losses would be enormous.
"Okay, I'll go." Fang Zong nodded directly.
Peter: "...Perhaps I should think about it more?"
Fang Zong said with an upright expression: "Obeying orders is a secret agent's duty!"
Everyone: "..."
In the FBI, intelligence comes first. And who are these people? High-ranking, powerful, and incredibly capable! They all know what just happened. The head of medical affairs, this guy who was trying to bargain—you're still obeying orders?
Fang Zong remained calm.
He figured it out: rather than sneaking off, he might as well go openly and honestly.
There are so many great things in Carmel-by-the-Sea!
Everyone looked serious as they went to prepare for their own tasks, especially Lux and Yasuo, who were leading the main assault team to confront the most powerful ghost.
Both of them were brought in as reinforcements and did not participate in the last battle, but how could a monster that could sever one of Dark Spider-Man's arms be so easy to deal with?
Fang Zong followed along and began by selecting weapons.
Guns and cannons were of little use, but weapons were a viable option that could render physical ghosts incapable of fighting. He ignored ordinary weapons, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose a three-foot-long sword.
The bayonet was too short, and the heavy weapon was too conspicuous. The sword was just right; after all, he was from the East.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt this sword was different from the ones he'd seen online; it had a chilling, imposing aura about it. Perhaps this was what they called a high-end item?
But looking at it, it's white...
"Laura the Soul Slave truly lives up to her green quality. If I raise her for a few more days, she'll give Peter another headache." Fang Zong smiled, his sword light casually slicing across the stone, the pebbles falling away with a thud, the cut smooth and without any fragments.
This is the quality of white!
The troops quickly assembled, and Yaso first charged forward from the western road, leading more than eighty imposing agents, gradually disappearing into the faint black mist.
Lux also brought her people over, and the other party said, "Let's go through from the back."
Fang Zong nodded.
It doesn't matter where you go from.
Dozens of people went around from the back of the town, climbed over cliffs, and crossed forests. It was dark all around, and there seemed to be ghostly wails and howls.
Everyone's expression was serious. Lux looked at Fang Zong and suddenly said, "Fang, you should be a hero too, right?"
Fang Zong firmly denied it: "No, I'm just a doctor."
Lux laughed: "Your power has definitely reached the level of magic!"
"That's just a doctor, not much combat ability, only good for support. You're amazing, even your mid-lane is top-notch!"
Lux: ...Pfft!
Do you think this is a game?
Fang Zong had indeed reached the level of the technique. Just like in the experiment on the rabbit, he used the technique of neurosurgical suturing on Peter.
With a suturing ability of 15, you can choose either Puppet Thread Manipulation or Neurosurgical Suturing. Puppet Thread Manipulation is Lara's method of controlling other monsters, but Fang Zong, who is too lazy to use multi-threaded manipulation to fight bosses, naturally chose the second option.
Does he need to gang up on the boss?
A good man, of course, touches you one-on-one!
Once you emerge from the woods, you'll see rows of buildings stretching out in front of you.
Carmel-by-the-Sea is a paradise-like place, with buildings mainly in beige and bathed in sunlight all year round. But at this moment, the entire town is shrouded in a black cloud of smoke, like a doll in the hands of a demon, full of dark, mysterious, and dusty tones.
It was empty inside, as if... everyone was dead.
"Light Barrier!" Lux threw her staff backward.
The staff circled around the crowd, and a snow-white halo faintly appeared on everyone's bodies. Fang Zong looked at his palm and felt something like bubbles protecting him.
"The secrets of the Radiant Lady?" Fang Zong's lips twitched.
With this thing protecting you, can you still touch a ghost if it attacks you?
This is a matter of principle!
"Get down!" Lux commanded.
The crowd descended from various places, standing on high ground and sliding down the buildings. Suddenly, the doors of several nearby buildings burst open, and several large, fat men covered in rags, fur, and even iron barrels rushed out with a rumble.
"It's the Ghost Pagoda of the Silver-Armored Corpse General!" someone exclaimed.
Ghost Pagoda?
Fang Zong looked over and blinked.
They're all...big fat guys!
The thinnest of these ghost pagodas must weigh at least 700 pounds. When they were alive, they would probably have been limp lumps on the ground, barely able to walk. But now they are amazing, moving as fast as a tank!
"Only seven, we can fight!"
Fang Zong shouted, twirled his sword, and rushed forward... to touch.
"Dingdang, you've touched the Ghostly Pagoda's ability; Impact Ability +1!"
When you're fighting desperately, the probability of getting a power is very high. Fang Zong got a power on his first try, and it was an impact!
Once the impact power reaches eleven, four more impacts will allow it to evolve into a technique!
The ghostly figure that had been touched stared wide-eyed at Fang Zong with its blood-red eyes, howling loudly. It took a half-step back as if it wanted to run away, but when it realized that its companions were all fighting, it turned a corner and rushed into another battle.
A brawl, a life-or-death battle, great!
The ghosts were incredibly skilled, and Fang Zong was thoroughly enjoying himself. If he had come by himself, the ghosts would have run away after a few touches, and he wouldn't have been able to enjoy himself as much as he was now.
They're dead, not stupid!
"Double kill! Touched the ghost energy of the Ghost Pagoda, Ghost Energy +1!"
"Triblekill! Touching the Ghostly Pagoda's ability, impact power +1!"
"quadrakill! Touching the Oni-Futa's ability, impact power +1!"
"PentaKill! Critical Strike! You've touched the Oni-Futa's ability, increasing your impact power by 2. No ghost can stop you now!"
Impact capability increased by fifteen!
Ninth Sister gives a hint: "If the impact ability reaches fifteen, it can be fused into a technique. Please choose: 1. Derailment Impact; 2. Sumo Impact..."
The derailment collision must be a technique possessed by the Netherworld Train, a sumo wrestling collision... well, these big fat guys.
Fang Zong chose to derail and crash, then looked towards the battle.
The "pick-up skill" refers to picking up the ghost's own abilities; calling it "looting a corpse" is an understatement, "stealing" is a more accurate description.
In order to prevent the Ghost Pagoda from becoming too weak, Fang Zong had separated the Ghost Pagodas and tried not to touch the same Ghost Pagoda. However, the Ghost Pagodas were still weakened, leaving only two. The rest were cut into pieces.
It can't be too conspicuous.
So... touch it one more time.
"Dingdang, you have already ruled the Ghost Realm. You have obtained Ghost Floating Pagoda's skills from his previous life. White skill book +1."
Fang Zong: ...
Exit and check the skill book.
An ancient book appeared in his hand, faintly emitting a white glow. Just as Fang Zong was about to examine it, suddenly...
