Chapter 45 Taoist Priest



"Hahaha, damn electronic ghost!"

The system connected the weapon, and a flashing message appeared in the visual screen of Gang Legend. With a burst of strength from his arms, he pulled out a rectangular gun that was two-thirds the size of his body from the car and aimed it at the direction Red Spirit was in.

The weapon system activated, the gun made a clicking sound, and the muzzle opened to the left and right, revealing rings of rapidly spinning red energy inside.

"Hongling, retreat!"

In that instant, Lin Feng could understand that this world of 2089 not only had knowledge of supernatural beings, but had also developed mature, targeted equipment and put it into practical use.

2089, the electronic ghost—he finally understood: this was a mission world experienced by participants with supernatural abilities!

Who is so...cute!

He had the same idea: to use the supernatural to obtain equipment from the technological world.

*Whoosh!* Circling, amplified red energy waves shot out from the massive weapon, the hazy red light and noise distorting everyone's vision and sweeping across the entire area. Only after this oppressive energy wave lasted for more than ten seconds did a row of mechanical latches pop out of the gun with a series of clicks, emitting puffs of gas, finally ending the attack.

Hong Linggui floated high in the sky, staring at the gun that emitted a crimson light, her eyes twitching violently a few times.

She suddenly realized that it was perfectly reasonable for Lin Feng to let her use firearms.

Despite the overwhelming advantages of ghosts, technology also has its unique aspects.

A chilling wind stirred, and Hong Linggui's gaze swept over the sniper rifle that the gang legend had just been holding. Her body immediately transformed into a blurry, ethereal shadow.

Just then, several young men around Lin Feng shouted, "Quick, quick, switch to single-pixel mode!"

From one side, a thin red membrane appeared in the eyes of these people, and the eyes behind the membrane followed the direction in which the red ghost moved.

"It's a ghost! Oh my god, there really is a ghost!"

"Hahaha, I saw it! I really saw a ghost!"

"Youngest brother, this time it's for real, we all saw it! Quickly call those little bastards and tell them to come and see!"

Ghost... Lin Feng retreated behind them, taking advantage of the cover of darkness to move slightly away from their position.

If he can detect ghosts, who knows if he can detect abnormal energy, or the radiation fluctuations left behind by ghosts? If he's not careful, his secrets could be exposed.

Not to mention the participants, those companies won't let him off the hook either.

“Hongling, use them to test your new abilities.”

After Lin Feng finished communicating in his mind, the Red Spirit Ghost, who had floated behind the gang's legend, immediately stopped moving, opened its arms, and exuded an even colder aura.

"What...is going on? Why...why do I suddenly feel so scared...?"

A fear originating from the depths of their souls swirled upwards, causing the people in front of Lin Feng to tremble in unison; even with their modified bodies, they could not control this fear.

"The biomonitoring device is controlling my body's...norepinephrine, dopamine, cortisol, thyroid hormones..."

"No, why do I still feel scared!"

The chill gripped their hearts, drifting them toward the impenetrable darkness.

Meanwhile, the gang legend, desperately trying to suppress his fear, didn't stop there. Instead, he frantically injected himself with the drug. Human fear originates from the limbic system of the brain; by forcibly controlling hormone secretion, he could...

"Abnormal synaptic signal detected, intercepting!"

"Metabolism editor activated, stopping all abnormal hormone secretion."

"The feedback circuit is activated, paralyzing the neural network."

"Biomonitoring initiated; scan for the source of the anomaly."

"Response tuner activated, correcting anomalous behavior."

"Ahhhhhhh!!!! Die!!!"

The gang legend rose again, with each prosthetic component operating at full power under the control of the code. Although the effects of the magic were not completely blocked, it could not stop the electronic brain within the body from calculating the idea of ​​killing the ghost in front of it.

Upon hearing the sound, the rest of the Valentino gang shrank back in fear. Not only Red Ghoul, but they also remembered their boss's brutal nature.

As the fear, like a virus spreading, spread throughout the surroundings, Lin Feng, under Hong Ling's indiscriminate release, felt a chill run down his spine, his hair stood on end, and his hands involuntarily gripped the fence beside him.

"This is only a level 1 spell. If it were upgraded to level 3... it would probably leave a shadow on the minds of ordinary people." Lin Feng took a deep breath. His performance was reduced by 50%, so you can imagine how a normal person would feel at this moment.

At that very moment, as terror gripped everyone's hearts, no one noticed that Red Ghost had already teleported behind a car wreck. She picked up the massive sniper rifle she had previously used to attack the NCPD police, and angrily adjusted the muzzle to aim at the gang legend who was right in front of her.

"boom!!!"

As the bullet was fired, Lin Feng heard a loud bang beside his ear, and a dent appeared in the wall not far away.

Looking back at the battlefield, half of the gang legend's body had been blown to pieces, and the sniper cannon had been bounced off the ground by the recoil and landed under NCPD's vehicle.

"Forehead..."

Lin Feng fell silent.

Hong Ling, returning victorious from afar, revealed a subtle smile. As she floated over, she glanced back at the sniper cannon and expressed some very practical thoughts to Lin Feng.

With flashing police lights and a cacophony of voices, Lin Feng nodded and heard the sound of a hovercar flying overhead. Looking closely, he saw that the hovercar's outer paint was that of the MAX-TAC (Mortal Mobile Unit).

"leave..."

Before the thought could even form, a flippant voice suddenly rang out: "Oh my, this ghost lady... she's quite beautiful!"

A sudden gust of wind swept in with the sound, and a figure walked through the wind and waves, waving a loose Taoist robe, passing through the crowd and stopping at the front. The Taoist robe was dark blue, the figure's hair was styled in a Tai Chi bun, and in the hand behind the back was a string of Buddhist beads with a cross hanging from them, which the figure was casually fiddling with one bead at a time.

"Alas, so many people have died. I'll have to recite the Rebirth Sutra a few more times when I get back."

Release? Lin Feng was close enough to hear it clearly; shouldn't it be recited?

The Taoist priest gripped his prayer beads tightly, then leaned heavily forward, bracing himself against the railing, and looked at the Red Spirit Ghost with great anticipation.

Hong Linggui had now fixed her gaze on the Taoist priest, a chill creeping into her eyes, and a gust of eerie wind seemed to rise from them. The Taoist priest's eyes were the very kind of eyes she had hated most in her previous life, along with the two words "handsome" that had just reached her ears, neither too loud nor too soft.

"No, no, no, catching ghosts is not my forte!" The Taoist priest was startled by the red, eerie gaze. Realizing the obvious intention, he gave an awkward yet irritating smile: "Sorry to bother you. Please continue. I'll be leaving right away!"

The Taoist priest arrived quickly and retreated just as quickly, leaving Lin Feng puzzled by his actions.

Perhaps... this wasn't meant for Hong Linggui, but for him; the other party had already discovered him.

But the furious Hong Linggui didn't care about any details. She only felt that the Taoist was still toying with her, and without any mercy, she reached out her ghostly hand and grabbed her.

"Hey, hey, this feeling... is not right. It's not magic, it has a bit of a magical feel to it..." The Taoist swayed his body, dodged the attack of the Red Spirit in the blink of an eye, and retreated to Lin Feng's side by stepping on the waves.

"Ghost Lady, this humble Taoist priest knows a little about magic. Your usage just now was incorrect. You should do it like this, like this, like this... Ah, that's it!"

The Taoist priest made a few strange gestures with his hands. When the Red Spirit Ghost grabbed at him again, just like before, he slapped his palm to the side, and the ghostly hand suddenly became more ferocious.

"Hey~ that's it... no, no, you don't look like that kind of fierce person, so this makes you look powerful... but something's even more wrong with you!"

The Taoist's smiling face turned sorrowful in an instant. He looked left and right but couldn't find the key point. How could he think the same way as Lin Feng? The true strength of the Red Spirit Ghost lies in its reliance on Lin Feng's necromancy.

"My God, who on earth made a contract with such a thing?!" The Taoist priest broke down, completely unable to comprehend what this creature was: "Wait, you're not some pervert's kept pet, are you?!"

The Taoist priest stared wide-eyed, glancing strangely to the side. His mind was filled with memories that didn't belong to him, a series of absurd and disgusting images of humans and ghosts constantly emerging.

"This shouldn't be happening..." The Taoist's expression changed.

Even if Lin Feng was stupid, he would know that the other party was doing it on purpose. With a thought, he blended into the crowd and quickly turned into a small alley before the terrorist mobile team came down.

At this point, the remaining NCPD and Valentino gang broke free from the terror spell, and the terrorist mobile team that descended from the sky took control of them and quickly scanned the surrounding information.

The Taoist priest saw Lin Feng leave in the blink of an eye, and made the same decision. He stomped his feet twice, summoning a faster wave of wind, and chased after the direction Lin Feng had left in.

Several beams of light shot down from the sky behind them. The moment the two disappeared, NCPD support quickly took over the area, and several members of the Terrorist Mobile Squad wearing small flying vehicles appeared at observation posts on high ground.
