Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 46: Pass
"It seems that your strength is a little beyond my expectations." Louis dodged and shot back: "I wanted to let you die easily, but it seems that you don't want to."
"Then... the food of hungry ghosts!"
The ball kept changing under Louis's shot, and then turned into a ghost head.
The ghost head flew towards the table on Lu Bai's side. When Lu Bai shattered the ghostly power from these ghosts, something like dirty blood would spill everywhere.
However, now as the ghost head flew over, all the dirty blood gathered together.
At the same time, Lu Bai could sense that there seemed to be some foreign objects protruding from his body, wriggling wildly under his skin and in his flesh.
He wanted to carry all of Lu Bai's physical essence away from his body.
If Lu Bai puts down the racket now and uses his strength to stabilize himself, he will be able to suppress these sneaky forces.
However, if he insists on catching the ball now, most of his energy will be swallowed up by the ball.
This is Louis's hungry ghost food. Through the previous twenty or so balls, he forced Lu Bai into this dilemma.
Although he controls hundreds of ghosts, he also has a strong ranking among them.
This hungry ghost is the ghost that ranks first among them.
"But why do you always like to snatch things from others?" Lu Bai shook his head and waved his hand to fight back fearlessly, allowing the energy in his body to be absorbed by the evil ghost.
"I think my companions have already told you through their actions that you should not take things given by others without permission!"
Looking at the ping-pong ball flying back, Louis smiled and said, "Do you think I'm that idiot Peter?"
"Because I'm older, I'm self-righteous and I really think I can decide everything."
"No, I am completely different from him!"
This time when Louis swung the racket, the power he used was completely different.
The power of fear and demonization!
The essence of ghosts is people’s fear of the unknown, the biggest part of which is “death”.
Precisely because people are so afraid of death, various ghost legends have never ceased for countless years.
Even among modern people who have received various types of education, in the absence of supernatural powers, there are still people who believe in the existence of ghosts.
As long as people still have unknowns about death and still have fears about it, they will still be afraid of ghosts even if they know that death does not create ghosts.
That ghost also exists forever.
Therefore, as long as you master this power of fear, you can create ghosts and monsters endlessly.
Louis has three other similar ways of creating ghosts.
With the infusion of the power of fear, the part of Lu Bai's stolen essence quickly evolved and turned into a ghost.
"This is my trick, Lu Bai!" Louis' eyes, filled with his emotions, stabbed towards Lu Bai.
At this moment, the ball flew towards Lu Bai again.
Precisely because he understood fear, Louis had awe in his heart. He knew clearly that not everything could be absorbed into the body.
In that case, then transform those things that you are not sure about into ghosts outside the body.
Then give back what you have received in the way you have been given.
Looking at the ghost that looked somewhat like himself, as the ping-pong ball flew towards him, Lu Bai showed a smile on his face.
That’s right, the fear of death is an emotion that countless people cannot avoid, but among these countless people, Lu Bai is definitely not one of them.
Because death is like going home.
Why do we feel fear of the unknown when we go home?
As for the so-called ghosts, although these things basically belong to the filthy land, they have no power to resist the underworld and can only allow annihilation to come.
In the Netherworld, the countless glowing gems and the thick layer of gray-white stones on the seabed are all prototypes of "ghosts".
Whatever you fear, I have tons of it in bulk.
Therefore, looking at the ghost with bared fangs and claws, trying to scare him, Lu Bai just felt ridiculous.
But there is also a research mentality involved.
Although the opponent's power type is restrained by oneself, the relationship of restraint is actually very shallow.
Lu Bai was able to use this to win one round, but he couldn't win this game.
The other party’s ghosts are not all related to death.
After removing these, Louis' strength is still worthy of recognition.
After all, his strength has reached intercontinental level, and his resonance rate is even higher than Lu Bai's.
If they really fight, Lu Bai may not win.
Therefore, we have to take advantage of the fact that the other party thinks they have won, analyze their strength more, and delay some time.
Lu Bai felt that he was at a critical juncture. As long as he could break through this bottleneck, his resonance rate would be able to make great progress.
“Have most modules reached a resonance rate of 15%?” A resonance rate of 5 is a small bump, and a resonance rate of 10 is a big bump.
Lu Bai's resonance rate is mostly at 15% at the moment. Logically speaking, this kind of bottleneck should not occur.
The problem is that Lu Bai has too many modules that reach 15% at the same time.
The improvement in the resonance rate of the module is essentially the various factors that you symbolize in the cognitive module. While you are recognizing it, these factors are also transforming your body bit by bit.
Therefore, even if a blank slate earthling discards all modules after obtaining a certain resonance rate, he can still continue to use some skills without them being invalidated.
In the future, as long as they do not stay in an environment like Earth for a long time, in dimensions where the power of other dimensions is more active, their physical characteristics will be relatively stable and can even be inherited.
Lu Bai now has too many modules resonating with his body, resonating and transforming his body, and different modules have different factors.
It was fine when the resonance rate was low, but now that it is high, these transformations collide with each other.
Although Lu Bai's physical life form was transformed into a dim light state, so he would not be damaged by this, it still formed a bottleneck.
Once a breakthrough is made, the conflict problem will be largely resolved.
Lu Bai's resonance rate can be increased several levels faster.
"And the key to breaking through the bottleneck lies in the few techniques taught by Old Wang."
"If I can develop corresponding moves with the help of those techniques , then this barrier will no longer be able to stop me!"
"I hope you can be more powerful, Louis!"
"Become a qualified stepping stone."
So, the moment Lu Bai caught the ball, his face turned a little pale, and the muscles on his face twitched unnaturally, as if they were out of control.
But then, Lu Bai mustered up his mental strength, gathered his spirits, and used his power to hit the ball back.
"How long can you hold on, Lu Bai?" Louis noticed Lu Bai's slight change: "Don't be scared to death!"
Although he said this, Louis increased his strength again.
"Resentment, the ghost in the human heart!"
This is Louis’ second method of creating ghosts. It is said that human hearts are scarier than ghosts.
That's where the fear lies, because most people don't know what's going on in another person's mind.
There is a sadly thick barrier between hearts.
It is precisely because of this lack of understanding that all kinds of horrific tragedies occur one after another.
Strangers cannot be trusted, and crimes committed by acquaintances are countless.
The resentment in people’s hearts will not disappear. People know this, but they don’t know whether there is resentment in the hearts of others.
It is precisely this state of knowing yet not knowing completely that makes people become more frightened.
I have no idea what's going on, and for some reason, I'm not that scared.
Knowing a little bit about it makes you think deeply, but you can't think of a specific answer, which makes you more afraid of these things.
Louis' favorite thing is to capture a group of people and then use the power of ghosts to tamper with their minds, making them think that a ghost is their friend.
Then they put these people in a haunted house and told that there was a ghost among them. As long as they found the ghost and killed him, they would be allowed to leave alive and given a large reward.
In this case, let these people suspect each other, and then use the excuse that the other party is a ghost to kill each other.
Sometimes some people know that the other person is not a ghost, but still use this as an excuse to kill in order to keep the reward for themselves.
Louis was like an absolute master, controlling their fate.
And there are many versions of this game, for example, there are no ghosts in it, but they are told that there are ghosts.
Or capture a group of ghosts, obscure their memories of being ghosts, make them think they are living people, and then go find the only living person, etc.
There are many ways to play, but in the process, you can see the existence of ghosts in people's hearts.
He can also extract these powers through this game.
The ghost formed with the help of Lu Bai's essence had been weakened a lot by Lu Bai's counterattack. With the injection of ghost power, the ghost was strengthened again.
And because it was derived from Lu Bai's essence, Lu Bai's power was greatly reduced against this ghost.
After a while, Lu Bai lost several points.
The more he fought, the paler Lu Bai's face became, and at the same time, a lot of black and bloody air was entangled in every part of Lu Bai's body.
Many ghosts also emerged from this, some of them lay behind Lu Bai, and some fell on Lu Bai's head.
These ghosts are derived from the ghost attached to the ping-pong ball, so they are not against the rules.
"Well, it's a little too much. The other side will become suspicious." Lu Bai looked at another ball coming and realized that the power of this ball was a little strange.
So Lu Bai naturally responded to this temptation.
Lu Bai's body was becoming weaker and weaker, like a candle flame that was about to scatter in the cold wind.
It was at this time that a glimmer of hope appeared.
Then the dead silence turned into life, and the fear of death was all transformed into the budding of life at this moment!
As Lu Bai swung the racket, most of the ghosts on the ball were purified in an instant.
Only Lu Bai's taken away essence remained in it .
With this method, you are only half a step away from taking control of the ball.
