Chapter 35: Infant Spirit
The baby was about fifty centimeters tall, its body was not real enough, and it looked very cute with the sparse fetal hair on its head, fat cheeks, and short fat arms and legs like lotus roots.
It hung itself like a wombat on Jiang Yu bait's calf, tilted its little head, closed its eyes, and didn't move a muscle, as if it was asleep.
Auntie was telling the truth? Their hospital was really haunted, and it was really a baby spirit? Zhang Yuanqing looked at this tiny infant spirit, his mouth opening a little.
This completely overturned his understanding.
"What are you looking at!"
When my sister-in-law saw her nephew staring at her unsuspectingly, she hurriedly glared at him.
She pulled out the chair, slumped towards the back of the chair, and pouted, "Mom, I'm exhausted, help me serve dinner."
"Don't have any arms or legs of your own." Grandmother said so on her lips, but still got up and went into the kitchen as she was told.
"Huh, family scum, you're back."
Auntie greeted Big Brother while holding the roast duck in her hands.
"A few more years of being single, you'll also become a family scum, when that time comes, we'll be brother and sister with double swords and fight against the black hearted witch together." Uncle said bitchily.
At this time, grandmother came out with a bowl of rice, sister-in-law immediately acted obediently, hugged grandmother's arm, head pillowed on mother's shoulder, "You're the family scum, I'm the child maiden that our mother sat down with, specializing in suppressing scum like you."
Auntie is relying on this trick to win the hearts of her grandparents and gain the favor of the two old men alone.
"Then it's okay for me to form one with Yuanjun, Yuanjun is about to become family scum too, right, wife." Uncle said.
Auntie gave him a blank look.
"Huh?" Auntie chewed on the roast duck a few times and said suspiciously, "Mom, did you forget to put salt in? This duck tastes tasteless."
"It's bought outside." Grandmother said in a good humor.
The sister-in-law frowned lightly, inhaled a breath, and called out, "Why can't I smell the flavor anymore, the rice doesn't smell good at all."
Grandmother sniffed and asked with concern, "Is it a cold?"
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing saw the infant spirit hanging on his sister-in-law's leg and stomach, its flat little nose twitching a bit, and then, it opened its black button eyes, and after seeing the unfamiliar environment, its little face was covered with stagnation, as if it didn't understand why it had appeared here.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuanqing's heart grew more and more grave.
This was not an ordinary spirit body; ordinary spirits had no consciousness, could not think, and would only follow their instincts.
The infant spirit did not remain bewildered for long, it followed some sort of instinct, twitching its little nose as it crawled along the body of the sister-in-law and climbed up to her shoulder.
Then, it saw a table full of delicious food.
Zhang Yuanqing's gaze chased after the infant spirit and saw it crawling faster all of a sudden, trembling along his sister-in-law's arm as it climbed to the tabletop.
It plopped down on the table and stretched out its short, fat little hand to try to fish up a piece of roast duck, but nothing came up.
After trying over and over again, it seemed to finally realize that it could not reach the delicacy and wailed in aggravation.
Immediately, Zhang Yuanqing's ears resounded with illusory cries, loud and clear and noisy.
This dead child, noisy Zhang Yuanqing mobilized the power of Tai Yin and condensed it in his palm, reaching out for a piece of roasted duck, effectively grasping the infant spirit in his hands.
"You eat first, I'll go to the restroom."
He carried the back of the infant spirit's neck and entered the restroom like a little puppy.
Behind him came his sister-in-law's voice: "Huh, the nose is suddenly open, and the roast duck has become fragrant."
In front of the washroom counter, Zhang Yuan lists the dead child in his hand, watching it stick out its pink tongue and lick the power of Tai Yin in his palm little by little.
The Tai Yin power of the Night Wanderer was a great tonic for spirit bodies.
"It will follow my sister-in-law home, it should be because my sister-in-law is tainted with my scent, which has a fatal attraction to spirit bodies ......"
But what Zhang Yuanqing couldn't figure out was that babies were weak in spirit power, and after an early death, the spirit body would dissipate quickly, for a day or two, or a few hours.
And the rumors of the haunting of sister-in-law's hospital seemed to have been going on for some time.
This does not make sense.
If you don't understand, look up the information Zhang Yuanqing fished out his cell phone with his other hand and logged on to the Five Elements Alliance official forum.
#Shocked, the Eerie Eye Judge is suspected to have perished, in the coming period of time, there may be Fallen Ones who are out of control, personnel from all over the world should be on the alert#.
#Shocked, the She Spirit Tunnel has been attacked, the identity of the passer is mysterious#
Zhang Yuanqing's eyes skimmed over the two top posts and did not pay attention to them. The official organization was going to be on guard against the Fallen's loss of control, so Judge Guiye's incident would definitely be made public.
On the contrary, the news of his attack on the She Spirit Tunnel had already spread through the official forum of the Five Elements Alliance, and for the first time, the unfamiliar ID of Yuan Shi Tian Zun was known by the official Spirit Realm Walkers.
Zhang Yuanqing typed the words "special spirit body" into the forum's search function.
Soon, a post popularizing the knowledge of spirit bodies was found.
"A spirit body is the coalescence of the residual spiritual energy of an intelligent being after its death, and because it has lost the vast majority of its consciousness, the spirit body presents a dull state, acting on instinct, or obsession.
"Once any living being dies, the spirit body will continue to dissipate, ordinary people maintain a maximum of seven days, the spirit realm walker's spirit body resides on earth for a longer period of time, depending on the decision of the spiritual power is strong.
"But there are always exceptions to everything, as far as I know, high level Nightwalkers and Illusionists, even if their physical bodies are destroyed, their spirit bodies can still rely on special means to survive in the world for a long time."
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but shift his gaze towards the Infant Spirit, thinking that this little guy obviously didn't possess the ability to survive in the world for a long time, and couldn't possibly be a High Grade Spirit Realm Walker.
He continued to read the content of the post:
"The above are Spirit Bodies under normal circumstances, next, let's talk about abnormal Spirit Bodies, the so-called abnormal Spirit Bodies"
The content came to a screeching halt and Zhang Yuanqing pulled the bottom to take a look and realized that the second half of the post was locked and needed to be paid to read.
Is this the legendary pay for knowledge? The corners of his mouth twitched as he used his cell phone to top up his "Yuan Shi Tian Zun" account with two hundred dollars to complete the payment.
It was worth mentioning that in the past few days, the clerical staff had already applied for a cell phone card and bank card belonging to "Yuan Shi Tian Zun" for him, cutting off his identity from "Zhang Yuan Qing".
"The so-called abnormal spirit body, is through the artificial sacrifice of the spirit body, the most famous is the night wandering god's ghost mastery, of course, other professions also have the corresponding means, not to repeat here.
"A spirit body that has been sacrificed has a chance of giving birth to special abilities, and can be regarded as precious props and pets, and in the jargon of the Night Prowler, such a spirit body is made a Spirit Servant.
"But be careful, the spirit body is also divided into qualifications, not all spirit bodies can be refined into spirit servants, spirit bodies with the qualifications of spirit servants, one in ten thousand, next to say the method of sacrifice "Finally, I want to remind you that sacrificing the spirit bodies of evil professions is permitted, but enslaving the spirit bodies of ordinary people is a violation of the discipline."
"Posted by Yuan Ting."
Two hundred dollars well spent After reading the content of the post, Zhang Yuanqing gave a heartfelt sigh of relief.
This post revealed a lot of information to him.
One: After the Night Traveler leveled up, he was able to raise ghosts and refine corpses, and when he encountered a Spirit Realm Walker battle, his playing style could switch between the obscene assassin stream and the obscene summoning stream.
Two: This dead child is a very precious spirit servant, picking up treasure.
Having already given birth to special abilities, it's a genuine spirit servant, not just a special spirit body.
Third: There is something wrong with the hospital where sister-in-law works.
"Just now, when my sister-in-law suddenly lost her sense of taste and smell, it should be the one that made it go bad, so its ability is to steal other people's sense of smell and taste? Well, turn around and verify it, if we can nurture this little guy, it might be able to offset a prop."
While Zhang Yuanqing was elated, worries inevitably arose in his heart.
There should be a Spirit Realm Walker hidden in my sister-in-law's hospital, and now that it had followed her home, the ritualist behind it would never let a precious Spirit Servant go missing.
There would be trouble to follow, and it would even endanger sister-in-law.
Regardless of whether the other party was an official or a wild Spirit realm walker, refining a spirit servant with an ordinary person's spirit body was against the rules.
It was impossible for this matter to end well.
"Tomorrow, I'll tell the Shishu about this matter, and we need to utilize the resources around us wisely."
After thinking it through, he was instantly much more relaxed, scrutinizing the infant spirit lying on his palm and small arm.
Noticing his scrutiny, the little guy opened his big black button-like eyes and let out a voice with a pleasing face, "Aba, aba ....."
Seeing Zhang Yuanqing ignoring him, it continued to lick the power of Tai Yin.
The IQ was higher than that of an ordinary baby, but it was still unable to communicate properly He pinched the back of the baby spirit's neck and flipped it over, "Come, let me see if you are a little comedian or a little troublemaker."
"From now on, you will be called Little Tease."
Zhang Yuanqing carried the infant spirit out of the restroom, the family dinner was nearing its end.
He returned to his seat and quietly hung the infant spirit around his uncle's neck while eating as if nothing had happened.
Just the thing to test the baby spirit's abilities with the family scum.
Biting down on his dental floss stick, his uncle carefully flossed his teeth, oblivious to the fact that he was riding a dead child around his neck.
"Uncle ah, why don't you have a bowl of soup."
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Yuanqing offered his uncle a bowl of soup.
He wondered if his uncle would lose his sense of taste and smell just like his sister-in-law.
Uncle stroked his round belly and shook his head:
"No, no drink, unless you have pancake nuts."
Saying this, he made a self-invented rap gesture, and just when Zhang Yuanqing thought he would hear familiar lyrics, his uncle suddenly contained his thumb, "Aba aba aba aba ......"
"Pfft~"
Zhang Yuanqing and Jiang Yu Bait, tacitly spewed out the chicken soup in their mouths.
Grandpa, Grandma, Auntie and Cousin, had a look of mourning their misfortune and hating them.
PS: Explain the character of Li Dongze, when I was grinding the beginning, I happened to be reading the Nomenclature of the Night, when I wrote the character of Li Dongze, my brain moved and wrote the name, then I felt inexplicably familiar, then I took the time to look at the Nomenclature again, suddenly I saw the familiar name, and realized that I whored out the elbow for nothing, at that time, Li Dongze had already appeared for a long time, and it would be too much trouble to change, and I thought that Anyway, it's a supporting character, so I whored it to the end.
