ghost.
This is Nico's nickname.
Like his nickname, Nico is almost inextricably linked to ghosts.
In that era, his methods were somewhat bizarre, and those who fought against him always felt a chill from the depths of their souls.
When dealing with alien beasts, Nico would only mutter a few words to himself, and the beasts would go berserk, as if they had gone mad, and he would kill them.
This was thanks to his own talent, though he preferred to call it a curse.
He can see the spirits of the dead!
This is what is commonly referred to as eerie or bizarre.
However, this ability that had been with him since childhood was not a pleasant experience for him.
After all, he grew up surrounded by ghosts; it's already a blessing that he didn't turn out badly.
The reason he liked to pretend to be a gentleman was because the first ghost he saw when he opened his eyes was a gentleman.
She stayed by his side for several years.
According to Nico himself, he is not even sure whether he is Nico or the Gentleman Ghost.
After learning of the existence of the concept of intent, he fully comprehended this ability, which became the seed of intent. When he broke through to the Venerable realm, he developed the Ghostly Domain.
At the same time, he was also among the first to awaken his superpowers under Su Fei's guidance.
Perhaps it was an innate talent, but the superpower he awakened was also closely related to ghosts, allowing him to capture the ghosts of the creatures he killed.
This could be a person, a mythical beast, or even a religious person!
Nico can acquire a portion of the power of the ghosts he captures and stores.
Initially, this ability could only borrow the power of one ghost at a time. However, as the level of the ability increased, it has now reached its peak, allowing him to borrow the power of nine ghosts simultaneously.
Although each is only a part, when combined, they already surpass those of an ordinary Venerable One!
Furthermore, the domain condensed from his own seed of intent was also closely related to the ghost, which caused his strength to increase rapidly!
Aside from the increase in strength, the existence of ghosts also represents the souls of the dead.
Although his consciousness was unclear, Nico's innate talent allowed him to communicate with ghosts and forcibly access their memories from their previous lives.
This is also the key to this infiltration plan!
They had no idea about the layout of the laboratory, nor did they know the personality or social relationships of the fake believers. If they ran into someone they knew, they would be exposed immediately.
The presence of the ghosts allowed Nico to get very close to himself.
Knowing this, no one objected when he proposed the infiltration plan.
A moment later, as they watched Nico converse with something unseen, a chill ran down their spines.
Ye Bufan glanced silently at Ye Qianqing behind him, his lips twitching slightly.
He used to think that Ye Qianqing was fearless, until he met Nico and discovered that his older sister was actually afraid of ghosts!
Ye Qian coldly glanced at him: "Want to get beaten up?"
Ye Bufan silently turned his head. Although the two were now at the same level, it was sad that he still couldn't beat Ye Qianqing.
Her superpowers and extreme abilities are a bit too monstrous...
This reminded Ye Bufan of Shangwu.
With a slightly dim look in his eyes, Ye Bufan glanced at the closed window, wondering how Shang Wu was doing. He feared he would have to take action next time they met.
While he was lost in thought, Nico had already waved to the air and said goodbye with a polite smile.
"Found...found it?" Jasmine asked softly.
“It’s just a small matter, of course nothing unexpected will happen.” Nico smiled. “Miss Jasmine will also need to observe carefully later. Impersonating the other party will require your help.”
"I will, I will do my best," Jasmine encouraged herself.
Their mutated features are disguised by Jasmine's hair, but its function is not limited to that.
Another key to the infiltration plan is the change in appearance, which requires Jasmine's black hair to replicate her appearance and then paste it onto Nico's body.
Only by combining the memories Nico read from the ghost and imitating its personality could he successfully enter the laboratory.
"The candidate has been chosen: an intern responsible for recording data. He recently joined the Creation Cult because he enjoyed reading and learning when he was a wilderness bandit, so he applied to join the lab after joining the Creation Cult."
Nico opened the window and pointed to the street in the distance: "He's going to record the data this afternoon, so now is the best time to act."
"afternoon…"
Ye Qianqing pondered for a moment: "We don't know when the other two will be discovered. Should we play it safe and wait for the other two traps to take effect, or should we act directly?"
"It's up to you." Hugh raised an eyebrow: "Is that time snake real or fake? The higher-ups just love to show off their connections."
“Of course it’s true,” Ye Qianqing replied.
"The time serpent was discovered because it was surrounded by a strange time loop. We happened to kill it when it was in its juvenile stage."
"Based on speculation, that time loop was probably left by its parents to protect the cubs through their infancy. If the Time Serpent has the ability to break the time loop, then it naturally wouldn't need protection."
"And the snake that Qin Sheng found now is the father or mother of that cub from back then."
Hugh raised an eyebrow: "So, how did you find it?"
Ye Qianqing glanced at him, not intending to answer the question.
In this team, everyone was aware of the strength of their teammates, except for Ye Qianqing, who only had a general idea and was unaware of the specific domains and abilities.
"Have you finished discussing it? If you're going to make a move, then hurry up," Caesar said calmly. "The stronghold should have been discovered by now."
“Okay, Jasmine and I will go find that intern. Once we get the detailed map, I will have Jasmine contact you so we can provide support from the outside.”
The two left together and soon arrived at the house, where they knocked on the door.
Nico also lowered his crutch and tapped it on the ground, waiting for the door to open.
"who?"
Before the voice could even get a clear look at the two people's faces, the intern who opened the door was plunged into a state of confusion.
Turn around and go back to the room.
Nico's voice seemed to have a magical power, making the interns obey without question, and the two of them followed him inside.
A strand of hair was tangled in the doorknob, reminding him to close the door behind him.
Possessed by a ghost, Nico reaped the lives of the interns, then opened the book and an unseen light entered it.
"Miss Jasmine, please copy his appearance first. I need some time to read his memories."
"Um."
Jasmine's long hair spread out, enveloping the corpse on the ground and quickly turning it into a black cocoon that slowly undulated, as if it were chewing.
Nico, standing beside him, had his eyes tightly shut, his hand trembling slightly as it rested on empty air.
A moment later, Nico opened his eyes and saw the mirror that the long-haired man with black hair had handed him.
Upon picking it up, I saw a face inside that was exactly the same as the intern's!
