Chapter 321: The Strange Pot
"disappear?"
"They didn't turn into ghosts?"
Lin Chen and the other two were shocked and asked quickly.
Ma Baosheng shuddered, leaned against the wall again, and said, "Yes, anyway, I have never heard of anyone seeing him, but every ten days, the villagers would gather at Li Baotian's house. During this period, I don't know what happened."
"Also... before, there were outsiders like you who knew about Li Baotian's affairs and secretly went to Li Baotian's house to investigate, but it seems that they all found nothing."
"How many days are left before all the villagers go to Li Baotian's house?" Lin Chen asked.
"I just woke up today, which means there are still nine days left." Ma Baosheng said.
"The dungeon boss is most likely Li Baotian, but I don't know how to find him." Lin Chen pondered.
"This kind of copy boss is too dangerous. Boy Chen, we just need to find the truth of the copy and we can leave. Try not to have contact with him." Duan Jibo was stunned and reminded quickly.
"That's the task of the game. As for me, I want to talk to him alone about something." Lin Chen said.
Duan Jibo and the other man were stunned.
You want to talk to him?
What do you two have to talk about?
Duan Jibo was about to speak to dissuade him, but Lin Chen had already spoken. He said, "Well, you guys wait for me at home first. I'll go to Li Baotian's house first and maybe I can find some clues."
“No!”
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi said at the same time.
"Li Baotian's house is too dangerous. It's night time now. Don't take any risks!"
"Yes, even if we go, we have to wait until tomorrow morning."
Both of them were a little anxious. This was simply risking their lives!
Lin Chen thought about it after hearing this, and finally shook his head and said, "Night is the time when ghosts like to move around the most. At this time, some hidden beings will be revealed. Didn't this guy say that many players have also gone to Li Baotian's house to investigate, but they didn't get anything? It's probably because they went there during the day."
"You have a point, but it's too dangerous at night. Although we seem to be relatively peaceful now, if we walk out of the yard, we might trigger the killing conditions of some native ghosts." Duan Jiebo said.
Duan Qi also nodded and looked out the window. Through the window frame, the night outside had become pitch black, deep and quiet. With their vision as four-star players, they could not see too far. In the unknown darkness, it seemed as if a giant beast from the abyss would jump out at any time.
However, compared to the two people 's uncertainty, Lin Chen seemed very determined. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. I'm sure. It's settled. If things can't be done, I will come back."
He was very determined, and it seemed that no matter how dangerous the outside world was, it could not stop his will.
Lin Chen had a confident smile on his face. There was no palace here. The worst that could happen was that he could hide under an invisibility cloak. Even if the Ghost King came, it would be difficult for him to be found.
Duan Jibo had a sad face, not knowing whether he should persuade or obey Lin Chen's will.
Duan Qi also frowned, but did not speak for a while.
"By the way, there should be four ghosts in the pot. At night, they will not be able to hide." Lin Chen suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look across the living room towards the kitchen.
There was complete silence there, shrouded in darkness, as if there was some extremely terrifying existence lurking within.
"Go and have a look."
Lin Chen took Ma Baosheng and Duan Jiebo to the kitchen.
It was a dark night, but Lin Chen's eyes penetrated the darkness and looked directly at the big black pot.
There, a faint sense of resentment had begun to emanate.
As night fell, their powers grew and they could no longer fit perfectly into the big black pot.
The three of them came to the pot and looked at it for a long time. The black pot did not react at all. Apart from the resentment that Lin Chen might see, and a trace of negative energy, it seemed as if nothing existed.
"Are you not coming out yet? You probably saw us dealing with Ma Baosheng who is stronger than them." Lin Chen said with a smile.
"We can use our ghost power to force them out, solve the problem sooner, and feel at ease sooner." Duan Jiebo said, and slapped the black pot with his palm.
A large amount of ghost power flowed into the pot through his fat palm.
Although Duan Jibo has not shown his real strength since entering the copy, his real power should not be underestimated. His ghost power is extremely violent, like a surging river, continuous and endless.
Lin Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"This fat guy's ghost power is almost the same as that of a true supreme ghost species."
However, the black pot did not move at all. It was bearing a huge amount of ghost power but did not change at all. The ghost inside did not reveal any movement.
"How is this possible?" Duan Jibo was stunned and increased his ghost power again.
But half a day later, the black pot was still lying there calmly, as if it had not been attacked by any force from beginning to end.
Moreover, Duan Jibo's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stopped his ghost power, and said with a tense expression: "He is actually absorbing my ghost power!"
"What?"
Lin Chen and Duan Qi were both shocked.
"Could it be the four ghosts inside?"
They were all stunned. They heard from Ma Baosheng that the four ghosts inside were not very strong and were often bullied by Ma Baosheng. How could they possibly absorb the ghost power of Duan Jiebo, who was a top four-star ghost.
"It shouldn't be, but there's something wrong with this pot. Normally, after a second-type native ghost possesses an object, it can be forced out with ghost power at night. But I feel that my ghost power has not touched the four ghosts inside at all, but has been absorbed by the black pot." Duan Jiebo looked at the black pot with a grim expression.
Lin Chen also noticed something was wrong and looked at the black pot. A golden light flashed in his eyes and he used his physical skills to try to see everything about the black pot clearly.
But in the end, he discovered that this black pot was actually very ordinary, and was no different from the black pot that the orphanage used to cook big pot meals.
Too ordinary.
There were four ghost faces vaguely visible in the black pot, but this had nothing to do with the black pot. He just vaguely saw four evil ghosts inside the black pot.
"You said that you often bully these four ghosts. How did you find them out?" Duan Jiebo looked at Ma Baosheng and asked.
" I... I could also blend in, but I died in a dry well. I felt more comfortable there, so most of the time, I stayed in the dry well." Ma Baosheng explained.
"You can actually be included in this black pot?" Duan Jibo asked in surprise.
"Yes... yes." Ma Baosheng responded blankly, with fear in his eyes. He didn't know what he said wrong, and was afraid that Lin Chen would beat him again.
Lin Chen didn't pay any attention to him at all. He just looked at Duan Jibo and said, "Old Duan, what did you find?"
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Finally, they said in a deep voice: "It's not a big problem, but normally, the second type of native ghosts can only integrate into one object, which is an object that had a great connection with them during their lifetime. So Ma Baosheng has been in the dry well and can't leave too far away, but it stands to reason that he can't integrate into another object except the dry well."
"It seems that something has happened in this black pot. Let's force these four ghosts out first." Lin Chen nodded and said.
"It's difficult. The ghost power has been absorbed by the black pot and can't affect the ghosts inside." Duan Jiebo said with a frown.
"It's a small matter. I have a way."
Lin Chen chuckled.
He just stretched out a finger, and just when Duan Jibo, Duan Qi and Ma Baosheng were stunned, a ball of strange red flame suddenly bloomed from his finger.
The moment the flame appeared, the whole room became hot.
Ma Baosheng retreated again and again, as if he was afraid of being affected.
Fire and thunder both have a great restraining effect on ghosts, and the power of fire is so terrifying that it makes evil spirits like him naturally resist it.
But soon, the heat in the room calmed down. This was because the power of the Bahuo was completely controlled by Lin Chen and condensed into the flame.
He squatted down and flicked the stove hole lightly. The flame was directly hit into the stove hole. Without any spontaneous combustion, it burned fiercely.
"ah!"
The next moment, several shrill screams rang out from the black pot.
Ma Baosheng, who originally had a timid look on his face, suddenly became ferocious, his eyes were full of hatred and anger. He knew that those were the voices of his wife, child and adulterer.
Soon, four heads could no longer withstand the heat and began to pop out of the pot.
Four heads covered with black hair appeared in the pot. It looked extremely weird, but everyone was happy.
"It appeared!" Duan Qi, who had been staring at this scene, exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.
Unexpectedly, the extremely difficult blame was solved so easily by Lin Chen.
The shrill ghost cry rang out, penetrating through the house, and all the "neighboring players" who heard it shuddered inwardly.
Although the four evil ghosts had to get out of the pot, they had already noticed what had happened between Lin Chen and the other two and Ma Baosheng, so they struggled and resisted frantically.
He didn't want to climb out of the pot, but he couldn't stand the burning of the Bahuo. He was in great pain, but he held on for a while.
"Soul Devouring Hand!"
Lin Chen impatiently formed a claw with one hand and grabbed the air. With a huge force, he pulled the four evil ghosts out of the pot.
Although this is only a purple quality skill, it can be used to forcibly separate the ghost slaves in the player's body, not to mention the evil ghosts that are simply possessed in objects.
As long as he finds the right position, this is not a difficult task for Lin Chen. However, the black pot can absorb ghost power, so Lin Chen first uses the Bahuo to burn it and then uses the Soul-Devouring Hand.
"Sir, please let us go!"
Four evil ghosts fell to the ground. Among them, the two adults were high-level ghost kings, and the two little ghosts were low-level ghost kings. This strength was not weak, but in front of Lin Chen, they all knelt down and kowtowed desperately for mercy.
"Bitch!"
Before Lin Chen could say anything, Ma Baosheng started cursing.
Even though he had been dead for many years, his resentment had never been resolved in the slightest, and he was filled with hatred for the four ghosts in the pot.
Just pounce on him directly.
However, he was stopped by the quick-witted Lin Chen, who warned Ma Baosheng seriously:
"Old Ma, calm down. You have to understand one thing. This wife and child are not yours. To put it bluntly, you are the outsider. As for the fact that you raised your son for free, you have slept with him for so many years. If you take back the feelings you have invested and treat it as a monetary transaction, you will find that you are not losing out at all."
When these words were spoken, all the people and ghosts in the audience were stunned.
Duan Jiebo stared at Lin Chen blankly, his mouth wide open in surprise. He had been in the love field for many years, and this was the first time he heard such "reasonable" words.
Is this even human language?
Duan Qi also stared at Lin Chen blankly. After a long while, he spat and said softly, "Sure enough, he is not a good person. Fortunately, I redeemed Yue'er in time, otherwise he would have fallen into the clutches of the devil."
But she felt a little pleased in her heart. As a woman, she disliked Ma Baosheng's wife and her adulterer. She understood that Lin Chen's words seemed to be directed at Ma Baosheng, but in fact they were a sarcasm towards the four ghosts in the pot.
Not to mention Ma Baosheng, his mind seemed to be struck by a hundred thousand lightning bolts, and he was stunned on the spot.
This was the first time that this honest and upright man heard such remarks. They made him feel so reasonable that he felt as if all his hatred over the years had been in vain. Even the resentment in his body dissipated a little, and he felt as if he had been saved.
Lin Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw the changes in him. His casual words actually made Ma Baosheng figure out something, but he no longer paid attention to Ma Baosheng.
He turned around and took a look at the black pot that was being burned by the righteous fire, but except for the bottom of the pot turning red, there was no other change.
The power of his Bahuo, after being enhanced many times, has reached a terrifying level. This kind of continuous burning would cause even the Ghost King to feel severe pain, but this black pot was not hurt at all. This made him very interested in this black pot.
He smiled and asked the family of four who came out of the pot:
"Why don't you just tell me the truth about what's going on here? I don't have to do anything about it, right?"
