Chapter 55 Obese Corpse
Chapter 55 Obese Corpse
In just over ten seconds, this terrifying, obese, rotting corpse devoured two ghost slave clones. Its mouth seemed to have a bottomless pit; after consuming the two ghost slave clones, its corpse remained completely unchanged.
These ghost slave clones all possess some of the supernatural abilities of the original body; they are not ordinary corpses. This terrifying, obese, rotting corpse devoured the corpse along with the derived supernatural abilities.
The No. 1 clone, hiding under the driver's seat, peeked out slightly, its eyes shifting between shock and relief as it watched the horrific scene unfolding in the car.
"This ghost is terrifying. The clone it ate has completely disappeared. Neither the separated consciousness nor the supernatural entity has returned. I'm so glad I didn't do something stupid by sitting in the driver's seat, or I would have been the first one killed. And thankfully, I didn't have any physical contact with this ghost. It's just too terrifying."
The two clones sitting in the front row were created by him. They not only possessed some of the supernatural abilities of the original body, but also some of the supernatural abilities of the ghost clapping. However, after being eaten by this ghost, they completely disappeared. The supernatural abilities between them were interconnected. In the past, when the clones died, some of their consciousness and supernatural abilities would return. But the clones that were eaten by this ghost disappeared completely.
In other words, when this terrifying vengeful ghost devours all the ghost slave clones in the carriage, the main body will permanently lose part of its consciousness, and even the terror level of the vengeful ghost within it will decrease.
This will be an irreversible and enormous loss, but there is no other way; this ghost is simply too terrifying.
The obese, rotting corpse moved slowly through the carriage. With each reach, a ghost slave clone would die and be eaten, unable to resist or escape. One ghost slave clone after another was called out.
The obese, rotting corpse wasn't moving very fast, but it was still less satisfying than killing everyone in an instant. Horrifying scenes kept repeating themselves. It was fortunate that these ghost slave clones weren't normal people, otherwise they would have been scared insane or died long ago.
The first clone could only watch helplessly as this terrifying ghost roamed the carriage, devouring one ghost slave clone after another.
Time passed second by second, and the carriage that was originally crowded with people began to become empty, leaving only the fat, rotting corpse standing motionless in the last row.
In just over ten minutes, it had devoured all the ghost slave clones on the vehicle, including clone number 2, which had completely transformed into a true vengeful ghost, as well as the frost vengeful ghost that brought about this disaster.
Sizzle sizzle~
The lights on the roof began to flicker slightly, as if an electric current was being switched on. The obese, rotting corpse turned stiffly and walked back towards the driver's seat with heavy steps.
The number one clone, who had been peeking out to observe, hurriedly shrank back under the car seat and hid, not daring to make the slightest sound.
"What should I do? That ghost is back. Will it come back and eat me? I can't figure out its killing patterns at all. How am I supposed to avoid its attacks?"
On this bus, the ghost tamer and the ordinary person are no different, even the real vengeful ghost is the same. He has no ability to resist this terrifying fat corpse. He just witnessed the fat corpse devour all the ghost slave clones, but he could not find any pattern to the killing. Once this ghost attacks him, he will be helpless.
The car's interior lights kept flashing, and with each flash, the ghost took a step closer to the driver's seat.
If it weren't for the fact that the first clone's body was different from that of an ordinary person, it would probably have wet its pants in fear.
Tap~ Tap~
Footsteps sounded in his ears, and a strong, stench fermented around him. The ghost had returned to the driver's seat. The first clone closed his eyes tightly, mentally prepared to be eaten by the obese, rotting corpse.
However, after waiting for several minutes, he found nothing unusual and was not attacked by any supernatural forces. He only heard a strange crackling sound coming from the chair above his head.
He mustered his courage and opened his eyes to look outside. The rotting feet that had been trampled on the ground were gone, and the strong but nauseating stench was rapidly dissipating. The dim lights inside the car were on, and the ground was clean. The black footprints covered in pus had also disappeared.
Gradually, the crackling sound overhead subsided, and the bus fell silent again, as if it had returned to normal.
After waiting a few more minutes and finding nothing unusual, the first clone mustered his courage and slowly crawled out from under the car seat.
"Did I survive? And the buses are running normally again?"
The first clone was still a little incredulous, its eyes scanning its surroundings, wary of any other unusual occurrences.
The entire carriage was now empty, and the dim yellow light illuminated the whole carriage, making it feel very oppressive. The monitor in the carriage also lit up again, and the number displayed on it was 1.
The first clone turned around and stared intently at the bus driver's seat, not daring to be the slightest bit wary. At this moment, the leather cover on the driver's seat was completely intact, showing no abnormality whatsoever, and making it impossible to tell that a terrifying ghost was hidden in this seemingly ordinary driver's seat.
"Phew! Thank goodness it was a close call. I didn't expect that hiding here would actually save me from this ghost's terrifying attack. Maybe the 'full load' only applies to the carriages, and the driver's seat isn't included in the calculation. Or maybe I just happened to avoid the ghost's killing pattern."
The first clone breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he was lucky enough to survive. However, after calming down, he felt more and more frustrated.
"We lost nearly 20% of our supernatural resources. This is a huge loss, and I don't know if we can ever make up for it."
Of the ghost slave clones that were just eaten, four were directly created by him. As a result, he lost some of his supernatural power, and the terror of the ghost clapping in his body also decreased significantly.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt he had lost out, so the No. 1 clone had to rack his brains to find a way to make up for the lost supernatural power.
"Now that the bus is back to normal, why don't we try to establish a connection with this terrifying ghost? It might come in handy later. Anyway, things have come to this point, if I don't get some benefits out of it, the real thing will definitely kill me."
Just as the No. 1 clone had settled down, a new idea popped into its head: since the loss was caused by the ghost on the bus, then it should be taken from that ghost.
According to the novel, under normal circumstances, this ghost will not attack people; however, being bitten by it will create some kind of unknown supernatural connection.
"With the supernatural abilities within me right now, controlling a bus is impossible, even if my true form came. But as long as I don't do anything reckless, just establishing a connection should be fine, right?"
The novel doesn't describe what terrible things would happen if you were bitten by this ghost. Most likely, nothing would happen. The first clone couldn't care less about that. He had to try it first. Anyway, things had already come to this. Even if the result was bad, it would just be death. It was better than having his consciousness taken back by the main body and becoming a ghost.
After making up his mind, the first clone reached for the leather cover of the driver's seat and tore at it forcefully. Fortunately, his body was not that of an ordinary person, and it took him quite a while to tear a hole in the cover and reveal what was inside.
The obese, rotting corpse under the suit had its eyes tightly closed and remained motionless, just like an ordinary decaying body. However, having witnessed it firsthand, the No. 1 clone felt a deep-seated fear of this thing.
He mustered his courage, reached his arm inside, and brought it close to the fat, rotting corpse's mouth to see if it really matched the description in the novel.
He had barely put his hand in when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand. A cold, giant jaws bit into his arm, causing his entire body to go numb and rendering him unable to move.
He had a premonition that if this state continued, he would definitely die. This ghost was just too terrifying. The plot in the novel was simply unrealistic for him. Yang Jian was one of the top figures in the supernatural circle at the time. His supernatural abilities were comparable to an S-class vengeful ghost. A supernatural attack that would only hurt him would be instantly fatal if it hit the car.
"Damn! I was too hasty. Could I have really messed things up and killed myself?!"
The first clone had to regret his actions, but there was no turning back now, and he could only quietly wait for death to come.
Just as he was feeling dizzy, the bus suddenly stopped, and the front and back doors opened at the same time. The terrifying oppressive force eased slightly, giving him a moment to catch his breath. Thanks to the protection of supernatural power, he managed to survive.
At the same time, the giant jaws that were biting his arm tore off a piece of bloody hand, along with a small portion of the ghostly clapping spirit residing in his hands.
At that very moment, the first clone immediately pulled his hand back and put the leather cover back on. At the same time, he could clearly see in his eyes that a dark red medium line was connected to his arm, while the other end was connected to the terrifying ghost in the car seat.
Through this medium, he could clearly sense the existence of this terrifying ghost, and even invade it through the medium. However, he didn't have the guts to invade such an S-class terrifying ghost; that would be suicidal.
At the very moment the supernatural medium connected, clone number 1 sensed a familiar supernatural force gathering on him through the medium.
Those were the supernatural entities carried by the clones that this ghost had previously devoured. The supernatural entities scattered by the monocle had a strong tendency to aggregate, carrying the supernatural entity of the ghost clapping hands and the supernatural entity of clone number 2, and invaded the body of clone number 1 through a medium.
Immediately, clone number 1 felt his supernatural presence return, which was good news. However, the bad news was that the vengeful spirit inside clone number 2 had also been brought into his body. At this moment, two terrifying B-level vengeful spirits were residing within him.
His body instantly became a battlefield between two ghosts. Two voice-based vengeful spirits clashed inside his body. He felt himself experiencing intense auditory hallucinations, with clapping and screams echoing in his ears.
Fortunately, he was still on the bus, where there was still considerable suppressive force, preventing the vengeful ghost from fully recovering, while the supernatural power within him that belonged to his original body was replenished.
The first clone immediately borrowed the supernatural power of the original body, combined with the supernatural power of the bus, to suppress the two ghosts inside the body.
The moment the door opened, the oppressive force of the bus weakened, the supernatural medium reconnected, and Su Qin, hidden in the medium, immediately saw the situation outside. Only one clone remained below, and the scattered supernatural entities were transmitted back through the medium, but the related memories and consciousness were not retrieved.
At the same time, Su Qin also noticed the abnormality of clone number 1. The vengeful spirit in clone number 2 invaded clone number 1, and Su Qin had to step in to help suppress it. He had already lost half of his clones, and losing this clone would be a huge loss.
With the supernatural suppression of the main body, the two vengeful spirits within the body gradually fell silent, and the consciousness transmitted from the main body replenished the consciousness of the No. 1 clone, making its mind clearer and gradually returning to normal.
