Chapter 161 Mind Control

The five members of the team gathered at the entrance of the tavern and followed the flow of people to the scene of the incident.

This is an independent house far away from the town. The fire has completely engulfed the main townhouse, and people can feel the scorching temperature from a long distance away.

A group of townspeople stood here pointing and talking. These early arrivals did not have any firefighting tools in their hands.

"Ugh," a drunk with a Mediterranean hairstyle burped and pointed at the burning house, saying, "This broken place is finally gone. Every time I pass by here, I feel a chill on my body."

"Yeah, I feel that way too," another drunk chimed in, "Daru once said he wanted to light up this yard and watch fireworks."

"Darru's idea coincides with mine," the Mediterranean drunk burped again, "I haven't seen him for many days. Did he go to the city to make a fortune?"

"Let's all go!"

Elijah and his patrol officers arrived at the scene. "It's going to be curfew soon. Everyone, go back and get some rest. There's nothing to see."

The patrolmen began to disperse the townspeople violently.

"Oh, son of a bitch."

A drunk was pushed down by the shoving and couldn't help cursing out loud.

What greeted him was a baton hitting him on the head: "Strangers, behave yourself when you come to our territory."

Elijah walked over and bowed slightly: "Sirs, you are all here."

"Why is no one putting out the fire?"

Nick glanced at the scattered townspeople and continued, "There should be residents who arrived before the fire started, right?"

"This house is quite old. I heard that people who lived here always had various accidents, and then it was abandoned. The residents felt that the house was unlucky, so no one put out the fire."

The sheriff quickly glanced around and said in a low voice, "Sir, this is the abandoned house I was talking about."

Klauen frowned slightly: "You said this is the place we plan to explore tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Haha, what a coincidence," Nick laughed.

Elijah took off his police helmet and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. "This house has a history of more than a hundred years. It was built by an old lord for his lover. After the old lord died, his family came to take back the house."

"His lover didn't want to leave, so she was beaten and thrown out. One night, the poor woman hanged herself on an old tree on the slope behind the house."

"The file says that the man died wearing a white nightgown with words written in blood on it: 'No one can drive me away from my land.'"

"Later, all kinds of supernatural things started happening in this house, and it gradually became deserted. Adults warned children not to go near it. Wild cats and dogs sneaked into the house and never came out again."

After listening to this long story, Jason laughed disdainfully and said, "It's just the birth of an evil spirit. Isn't there a priest to exorcise it?"

"A pastor went there, but didn't see any evil spirits. They must have gone into hiding. And as long as you don't get close to this place, nothing bad will happen. So gradually, no one came to perform exorcisms."

"Now that the evil spirit has lost its home, it will definitely find a new one."

"Sir, what do you mean?"

Jason grinned, "It doesn't make any sense. You originally said that there was something wrong with this house. Did you want to use us to eliminate the evil spirits inside?"

"Why would I delay important matters and provide false information?"

Elijah's old face turned red and his breathing became rapid.

The information he said was all true, but he really wanted to kill the evil spirit with a borrowed knife and get a piece of land for free, so he went with the flow and vaguely said that the missing cases were related to this place.

Apart from anything else, after getting a normal property, you can rent it out to outsiders who want to improve their living conditions and get a considerable amount of rent every year.

"The issue of the missing people hasn't been resolved yet, and now there's a new evil spirit wandering around, an evil spirit that has existed for hundreds of years and is so powerful it's hard to tell. This place is going to be in chaos."

Jason pretended to sigh and continued, "Sheriff, you will be very busy and anxious for the next period of time."

"Sir, this..." Elijah looked at Nick for help.

"Don't worry, Sheriff. If it's our duty, we won't refuse." Nick waved his hand. "Guys, let's go back too. We can talk about it tomorrow."

If you encounter difficulties, sleep well and then find a solution tomorrow.

The team followed the patrolmen back to the center of town and returned to the Shade Tavern.

On the way, Crown observed the layout of the place.

The residents of the town were not forced to gather together. Their way of dealing with the gray fog was to hang oil lamps in front of and behind their houses and light oil lamps inside the houses.

These lamps should be specially made by the church and have the function of dispelling fog.

However, there will always be a small amount of gray fog that passes through places where lights cannot reach and blends into residents' homes.

There has always been a problem that bothers Crown.

After the gray fog descended, the animals and plants in the wild underwent earth-shaking changes.

Call it evolution or mutation, in short, animals began to become stronger or more agile; plants also became more luxuriant, blooming more flowers and bearing more fruits.

But humans seemed to be excluded from this change, at least that was what he saw.

If this continues, humans may fall behind in this wave of mutations around the world and can only retreat into heavily guarded cities.

Crown felt that since he could think of this problem, there was no way the higher-ups couldn't have thought of it.

What he saw and heard in Yorktown made him feel that perhaps the top leaders had been making various arrangements and preparing for the future.

As a time traveler, he has no shortage of conspiracy theories.

He wondered if these residents outside the central city were the kind of test subjects who were being eroded by a small amount of gray fog.

After arriving at the tavern, Nick called everyone: "Go to bed early and see if there are any changes in the town tomorrow morning. I hope we can find other clues."

Everyone said good night to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.

The second-level extraordinary people had a separate room, and Del and Torres shared a room.

After returning to the room, Clown activated the Fire Cube Spirit Control and began to practice the ability of armor solidification.

The magic cube's spirit-controlling power decreased little by little, the proficiency of the spirit-controlling technique increased slowly, and the spirit-controlling ability itself was also constantly improving.

Half an hour later, when he estimated that his spiritual power was running out and was about to stop practicing, the Fire Cube in his sea of ​​consciousness changed, and a translucent structure appeared on its outer layer again.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

At the same time, Clown clearly felt how much remaining spiritual power the Cube had, how long it could continue the armor-condensing practice, or how long it could maintain the gold-devouring ability.

He sank his consciousness into the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and immediately felt that it was filled with evil and wanton laughter. Deep darkness emerged from the Rubik's Cube again. Twisted shadows appeared on the rolling polyhedron surface, and wisps of black mist evaporated and dissipated into the space of the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

The laughter was mixed with a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and a hint of fierce pleasure.

The Fire Cube has become even more powerful. It should be because the Spirit Control itself has advanced to become a second-level Spirit Control.

The Rubik's Cube's rotation speed suddenly increased, and a strong suction force came, pulling his consciousness closer rapidly.

Crown's consciousness resisted the pulling force and quickly and firmly withdrew from the sea of ​​consciousness.

The sky clears up, the rain stops, and you feel you are fine again.

He didn't take the time to meditate on the Golden Light Mantra today, and it seemed that the Cube Spirit had forgotten the pleasure of being burned by the golden light.

Crown sat cross-legged on the bed and released bullet time. He wanted to quickly give the Rubik's Cube Spirit a surprise response.

He closed his eyes, and a silver full moon appeared before his eyes. As he visualized the red sun shining on his dantian, golden light radiated out, and the crystal ball in his sea of ​​consciousness spread golden light, illuminating all directions.

The black mist released into space by the Fire Cube was immediately burned up, leaving no trace of residue.

The golden light shines into the Rubik's Cube, penetrating the translucent surface and burning the rich black layer inside.

The black color faded quickly, and the fierce laughter that filled the space in the sea of ​​consciousness turned into mournful pleas.

After visualizing a large cycle of the Golden Light Mantra, Crown turned off the bullet time and continued to visualize the Golden Light Mantra at his normal speed.

As his abilities grew stronger, he realized that the black color on Yu Ling's body represented the evil thoughts of the evil spirit.

The evil spirit will slowly recover as time goes by, and will recover faster as its ability is used. This is why ordinary spirit masters are always eroded by evil spirits.

Faced with the scorching sunlight released by the Golden Light Spell, the black color composed of the materialized evil spirits and evil thoughts quickly disappeared.

When the color of the Fire Cube turned into dark gray, all newly generated evil thoughts were purified.

Crown ended his visualization and sank his consciousness into the sea of ​​​​consciousness to control the Fire Cube.

Not to mention that the original abilities of the Rubik's Cube have been enhanced to a certain extent, he has learned about the new ability of controlling spirits.

Now the number of metals that can activate his gold-eating ability has increased to several more, namely tin and lead, and he has obtained two alloy formulas.

He is now able to use the essences of copper, tin and lead to create bronze.

Bronze in the ordinary sense is definitely not better than the star steel in his hand, but bronze made with the essence of metal is still worth looking forward to.

He also obtained a formula for an iron-lead alloy that could absorb damage from elemental attacks.

As his spirit-controlling skills advanced and he was able to devour more kinds of metal essences, he suddenly felt that the road ahead was brighter.

The original worry about the ability of the Fire Cube disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he exclaimed in his heart that this Spirit Control was worth buying.

Crown's consciousness withdrew from the sea of ​​​​knowledge and took back control of the body.

He stretched out his finger and released the Rubik's Cube's new ability - mind control.

The iron essence he originally swallowed can only exist in his body and cover his body surface.

But now he can release the metal essence out of his body and control these special metals to do more actions.

A drop of silvery-white liquid iron essence flowed out from his fingertips and condensed into a sphere the size of a soybean. This was all he had accumulated over the past few days.

When the liquid metal ball was completely disconnected from the body, it immediately turned solid and fell into the palm of his hand.

It was light as a feather at first, but it felt heavy in my hand.

Let me ask you, do you feel that the horror scenes described are scary?
