Chapter 11: Let's Snort Some Murderous Aura, Seeking Monthly Tickets
The more in love the person targeted by the Ghost Infant is, the less effort it takes to activate its skills, and the more diverse the selectable lines and actions become.
On the other hand, if it's an enemy, it will take a lot of energy, and the lines that can be driven will be very monotonous.
The Ghost Fetus has also discovered its new ability.
It is particularly satisfied, its pair of Ghost Eyes are bright and shiny, and it happily coos a few times.
After signing the contract, it can only use its skills when driven by Jiang Xia.
Fortunately, that's the case, otherwise Jiang Xia suspects that this ghost might secretly sneak to Kinoshita Yoko's place one day and forcibly create a CP with a handsome male actor for her.
… …
Jiang Xia looked at the skill and was speechless for more than ten seconds.
In the end, he decided to first give it a name to calm his shock.
Let's just keep it simple and call it Forced Confession.
This skill seems quite useless at first glance.
However, if he can find enough material in the future to upgrade the Ghost Fetus, then its skills will also be upgraded accordingly.
For example, the current "Forced Confession" can only make people move their lips, and only by consuming murderous aura can other confession actions be made.
After the upgrade, perhaps it will become "Forced Hand-Holding", "Forced Hugging", "Forced Kissing", "Forced @*$% ; *", etc. with just a little murderous aura… …
As long as the enemy's actions can be made to lose control, it will be very useful.
Overall, it's not too useless. If used well, it might have miraculous effects… …
… …
Moreover, with the Ghost Fetus, he can initially construct a "puppet".
Although with the Ghost Infant's size, it can only make a small child's body, but as long as it is used well, it can definitely come in handy.
Jiang Xia simply comforted himself, and left the basement with the newly acquired Ghost Fetus.
After signing the contract, the Spiritual Medium's control over the ghost will be greatly strengthened.
However, correspondingly, he also has to provide food, upgrades… … and manage all sorts of messy things.
It's roughly equivalent to adopting a docile serf who needs to be provided with food, accommodation, and education.
Normally, the Ghost Fetus can be stored in the Tattoo in his heart, where there is an unscientific space.
The murderous aura that Jiang Xia usually obtains is stored there.
It's just that currently, Jiang Xia doesn't have many ghosts… … To be precise, there is only one.
So he didn't put the Ghost Fetus in.
Anyway, this Ghost Infant is very small and easy to carry. It's better to leave it outside, so that when it is needed, there is no need to spend any more thought to retrieve it.
… …
After the contract, the Ghost Infant's attitude towards Jiang Xia was much better than before, and it felt close to him when it saw him.
It climbed along Jiang Xia's arm all the way to his shoulder, rubbing its face against his face, and it looked no different from its attitude towards Kinoshita Yoko.
However, rights and obligations usually come together.
Just as Jiang Xia was thinking, he saw the Ghost Infant poke his face, then pat its belly, sending a hint.
— It's hungry.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Raising ghosts is so troublesome.
But it still has to be raised.
The contracted Ghost Fetus has a natural affinity bonus to the Spiritual Medium.
In other words, even if the Spiritual Medium is a bit of a jerk, they will forgive their master with tears in their eyes.
But if the Spiritual Medium relies on favor and engages in tyranny, treating them too harshly, and at the same time has many Ghost Fetus… … then it is very easy to crash.
Once the Ghost Fetus are really abused to the point of losing control, the Spiritual Medium's fate is often particularly tragic — so tragic that it can be printed in textbooks as a negative teaching material for permanent circulation.
In short, most Spiritual Mediums are very friendly to their own ghosts.
This can also be regarded as basic professional ethics.
… …
Thinking like this, Jiang Xia reluctantly tapped his heart. Through his clothes, he reluctantly drew out a wisp of illusory black thread.
This is one of the murderous auras stolen from Gin.
He had been saving it and was reluctant to use it — even compared to the resource-rich previous life, this is considered a very high-quality murderous aura.
Jiang Xia originally drew out a whole wisp.
But after looking at the Ghost Infant's small size, and thinking about the limited inventory, he very considerately tore the murderous aura in half and put half of it away.
Afterwards, Jiang Xia stared at the remaining half, pondered for a moment, and slowly stretched out his hand, tearing the remaining half apart again, and putting half of it away.
The Ghost Infant silently watched the murderous aura become shorter, shorter, and shorter: “…”
When Jiang Xia asked it if it wanted to sign a contract just now, perhaps… … it shouldn't have nodded so quickly?
However, it is too late to regret it now.
— With the contract maintained, not only did the Ghost Fetus not feel that Jiang Xia was excessive, but it was very considerate of him.
With tears in its eyes, it patted Jiang Xia's shoulder, indicating that it would definitely work hard to pick up murderous aura in the future to support its master, so that he wouldn't have to be so frugal.
Jiang Xia was very pleased, and finally tore it again.
Then, carrying that small piece of murderous aura, he prepared to feed the ghost.
Of course, it can't be fed directly, it's not easy to digest that way.
Jiang Xia returned to the first floor, found his coat, and took out a cigarette case from it, knocking out a "cigarette".
Although this thing is rolled into the shape of a cigarette, the filling is not tobacco, but a few kinds of dried plant powder.
In the Spiritual Medium world, this thing has a scientific name, called ghost mint.
Jiang Xia once suspected that the person who invented it had a cat at home. And I feel like I have mastered the evidence.
However, although the name is very similar to catnip, ghost mint itself has no attraction to ghosts.
It is only very good at absorbing the negative emotions captured by Spiritual Mediums — such as the murderous aura in Jiang Xia's hand.
Gin's product, high quality.
The best thing is that it really has a bit of wine flavor — this is also a symbol of high quality.
Jiang Xia brought the torn murderous aura next to the ghost mint. It quickly melted into the cigarette.
Then Jiang Xia lit the cigarette.
Smoke rose, and the Ghost Infant climbed onto the back of his hand, hugging the cigarette butt, and taking a happy deep breath.
Jiang Xia can actually eat things like murderous aura too.
It's not to fill his stomach, but to replenish his energy.
However, at present, he has a good routine and has not used any skills, so he is very energetic.
So, although he was a little greedy, he didn't grab food from the Ghost Infant.
… …
I don't know if it's because the Ghost Infant is too hungry, or the murderous aura is too little.
It leaned over and sucked for only a few seconds, and most of the cigarette had already burned away.
Jiang Xia shook a long section of ashes into the ashtray.
Just after shaking it off, the last bit of ghost mint mixed with murderous aura was also sucked away.
Jiang Xia: “…”
This ghost seems to be a bit of a glutton.
He let go worriedly, and threw the extinguished cigarette butt into the ashtray.
The Ghost Infant touched its belly and looked like it wanted another one.
Jiang Xia checked its condition and found that it had recovered from the blow of shattered ideals and was now very healthy.
So he decisively turned his head away, pretending not to understand the Ghost Fetus's hint, picked up the ashtray, and went to the bathroom to rinse it.
