Wang Yao killed so many ghosts that he would probably have become a wanted criminal in both the human and immortal realms, and would definitely be arrested, tried, shot, and sent to the Execution Platform before he would be satisfied. But in the underworld, as long as he doesn't argue with the underworld about the matter of human-device, he can easily uncover the truth with just a word from Gu Qi.
It seems that all talk about equality for all beings is utter nonsense. From the day you enter a different realm, it was destined that there would be no such thing as equality.
Wang Yao shook his head, banishing all unnecessary thoughts. He took out the Awakening Token and gently tapped the ghost lying at his feet. Whether the ghost was infected with corpse energy or not, tapping it probably wouldn't be a big deal, and he could use this to determine what was wrong with the ghost.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Wang Yao had just given the wake-up call when he suddenly heard Qin Su's panicked cry.
After the Awakening Token was taken out, it was covered in thick black smoke, just like Qin Su's "glass" protective shield. When Wang Yao heard Qin Su scream, he hurriedly picked up the Awakening Token.
His vision was obscured by the black smoke, so he didn't know if the Awakening Token had hit the ghost. He only felt that it fell without any resistance, so it shouldn't have hit it yet.
He was about to turn his head to ask Qin Su when, unexpectedly, the Awakening Token was moved, and the ghost's head under his feet was missing a piece of about a quarter of its size. Wang Yao blinked, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
The ghost's head was strangely small. Its hair, scalp, ears, and face seemed unchanged, but its head was flattened out, as if a clay figure had been sculpted too hard and its head had been crushed.
But it doesn't look quite right. After all, when clay is shrunk, it will squeeze out to both sides, making the face appear flat. But this one doesn't. The proportions of the head are still normal, but a piece is missing.
If all the parts weren't intact, Wang Yao would have really thought this ghost's head was made of tofu, that a large piece would fall off with the slightest touch. But... even if it was made of tofu, where is the part that fell off? Wang Yao looked and looked but couldn't find it, as if a piece of the head had simply been missing.
"Ah...it's too late..." Qin Su sighed softly from the side.
"Is this... what you called severe corpse aura syndrome?" Wang Yao came to his senses and asked Qin Su.
"Yes...it's...it's hopeless..." Qin Su was shrouded in black smoke, and Wang Yao couldn't see her expression, but he could sense the deep regret in her tone.
"It seems the corpse energy has spread quite a bit. We should still be a long way from the source of this corpse energy, right? Yet there are already victims here," Wang Yao said.
"Please...knock them all out. If you leave them, the corpse energy will spread even more." Qin Su said to Wang Yao.
Wang Yao thought about it for a moment and understood why Qin Su was inconsistent. When she first saw Wang Yao trying to use the Awakening Token to knock on the ghosts, she hurriedly stopped him, probably because she thought these ghosts could still be saved and that knocking on them with the Awakening Token might not be able to withstand the ghosts who were already in a severe state of corpse qi.
It wasn't until she saw the effects of the Awakening Order and realized that these ghosts had become dead that she became concerned about the safety of the other ghosts in the underworld. So she asked Wang Yao to use the Awakening Order to cleanse the source of the corpse energy, so as to ensure that most of the ghosts in the underworld would not be affected.
Wang Yao nodded and banged the Awakening Token down, but it felt like he was hitting the air. The moment the ghost's body touched the Awakening Token, it immediately deflated into a large chunk.
After a few blows, the ghost on the ground became an indescribable puddle, yet it still retained its original appearance, with its facial features, hair, and clothes intact. Only its surface became uneven, like an abstract painting with the human body as its theme, which was truly extremely eerie.
"No, this is too much of a waste of time. If Hui Shuo were here, that would be great." Wang Yao knocked a few times, then turned back to Qin Su and said. The ghost's body is really similar to a human's. Even if you knock off the head, there's still a large part of the body left; even if you knock off the body, there are still two legs sticking out.
Using the Awakening Token to slowly tap, it would take dozens of taps to finish tapping a single ghost. There were four or five ghosts lying on the ground that could be seen with the naked eye. Tapping them one by one would take a long time.
Moreover, since we've already seen a ghost with severe corpse aura here, and the corpse aura is so dense, how many ghosts have fallen before? If he keeps knocking like this, he shouldn't bother searching for the source of the corpse aura, since Hui Shuo is still waiting for him behind.
"Then... could we go to the Energy Office? It's not far from here. If we let the corpse energy spread like this,... it could cause a major disaster. I... I have to report this to my superiors," Qin Su stammered.
"Energy Office?" Wang Yao pondered for a moment. In his heart, he didn't care if the underworld was flooded, as long as it didn't flood the human world. It would be best if something happened in the underworld, and even better if something big happened. He didn't want Qin Su to inform the higher-ups to take precautions. But he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Think about it, Lin Yazhi, the cat ghost, the business ghost, and so on, they all live in this underworld. The officials in the underworld are indeed wicked, but what sins have these ghosts committed? If it were someone like Qin Su, they shouldn't have died so tragically.
“Okay, let’s go.” Wang Yao nodded, walked to Qin Su’s side and restarted “Earth Control”. Qin Su pointed out the way, and the two of them moved quickly forward in the increasingly narrow corridor.
Along the way, they saw more ghosts lying on the ground, but the two ignored them and hurried forward. Wang Yao also realized the inconvenience of "controlling the earth". Once the dead ghost was within the range of "controlling the earth", it would be carried forward by the magic.
However, as the number of ghosts carried by "Yutu" increases, its speed decreases, as if it is overwhelmed. But the corridors are getting narrower and narrower, and Wang Yao has no way to avoid them. He has to stop every now and then to clear out the dead ghosts that hitch a ride.
