Ghost Compendium

Chapter 349: The Enigma of the First Emperor! (2)


[Yin Qiming] wishes he could shred the [Pioneer] who is gradually disappearing and returning to the shell of his body right now!

Unfortunately, he can't do it.

Now that the loophole he was tugging on like a goose feather has disappeared along with the separation of his whole self, if he continues to do anything to the soul of [Pioneer], he will face the various soul defense mechanisms he has set up.

Precisely because he and [Pioneer] are the same person, [Yin Qiming] is well aware of how much effort the other party has put into soul defense after suffering significant damage to his soul last time to repair the injuries.

To confront him now would only expose his own newly separated and extremely weak soul to the risk of dispersing.

And Wu Liang is even more helpless.

He was only responsible for pulling the goose feathers; now that all the feathers have been pulled out, and the essence of this garment is actually not on the plain but hidden somewhere in the mountains of Huaxia.

So, he can only watch helplessly as the soul of the other person disappears.

"You're free now, isn't it my turn to benefit?" Wu Liang stretched lazily and stood up, saying.

Frankly, he didn't include any element of righteousness in the act of saving [Yin Qiming]; it was purely to learn about the things in [Pioneer's] mind.

Moreover, after experiencing the influence of [Pioneer's] soul for a few days and becoming indifferent to humanity, Wu Liang also felt no sympathy for this guy in front of him.

A person's words can deceive others, and even physiological responses can deceive oneself in some ways.

But the soul can't fake anything.

Since [Yin Qiming] and [Pioneer] are essentially the same soul, it means that deep down, where this guy hasn't even realized himself, is equally filled with sin and indifference to humanity.

It's just that because [Yin Qiming] doesn't have the old world experiences of [Pioneer], the evil deep within the soul hasn't been unearthed.

But it's better not to have too much trust in such a person.

The relationship between them can only be transactional.

"Hehe, of course, help yourself." [Yin Qiming] chuckled after hearing what Wu Liang said.

Then he turned around, put away the previous look of hatred towards [Pioneer], and openly stretched out his hands without any defense towards Wu Liang.

Obviously, he also knows that if he just verbally shares information about [Pioneer], Wu Liang will absolutely not believe it.

So the simplest way now is to let Wu Liang use the Nightmare Ability to read memory and retrieve the soul.

Only this can ensure the information doesn't include any subjective factors, just objective facts.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, buddy, take a nap, please."

Wu Liang naturally did not stand on ceremony with him and directly raised his hand to press it against his forehead. A strong Nightmare Power erupted from him, strong enough for the nearby Emotion Ghost to show an unnatural expression.

Even under the protection of the Emotion Ghost's City-Destroying Level ability, Zeng Hu couldn't help but feel sleepy and was about to fall asleep. In the end, he yawned and patted the Emotion Ghost's hand, saying, "How about just letting me sleep, Mr. Shadow won't harm me."

Upon hearing this, the Emotion Ghost first showed a strange expression and then canceled the mental defense.

Seeing the little guy next to him fall into a deep sleep, the Emotion Ghost then said to himself, "Didn't realize you had such a self-destructive tendency? Since that kid chose to use dreams to view memory, it's clear he's going to vent some of his dissatisfaction with [Pioneer], likely with various nightmares waiting for the other party."

"You dare to sleep through that?"

"..."

Already deep in sleep, Zeng Hu naturally couldn't answer the Emotion Ghost's question.

But from the way he started sweating coldly, furrowing his eyebrows, and occasionally trembling shortly after closing his eyes, it was clear this wasn't a pleasant dream.

The more terrifying aspect was—no matter how startled Zeng Hu was in the dream, he couldn't wake up in reality, because this was the Fierce Ghost Ability of the Nightmare, not natural sleep.

All he could do was pray that Wu Liang would finish inspecting the other person's memory and end the dream quickly.

Minute by minute, time passed.

Under normal circumstances, Wu Liang only needs a moment to retrieve memories.

But due to his caution about [Pioneer], as well as the urge to vent his frustration, this time the dream memory retrieval took about half an hour.

When [Yin Qiming] woke up with a touch of terror in his eyes, he couldn't help but curse, "Your disgusting taste is truly nauseating! How was such a tormenting dream designed?"

Even after witnessing the things [Pioneer] did, he was still disgusted by the dream Wu Liang designed just now.

It was a torture that was just enough to not make one resent Wu Liang, but unforgettable for a lifetime.

"Ah ah ah! Help, help!" Zeng Hu's voice also came out from the side.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but jump up and check whether any parts were missing all over his body.

Now, Zeng Hu wanted to take back the words he said to the Emotion Ghost.

Wu Liang indeed wouldn't harm him, but this half-hour nightmare felt like an eternity!

Might as well just hurt him directly!

After checking and turning around to complain to Wu Liang, he found that instead of the joy of obtaining information as he imagined, Wu Liang was frowning, stroking his chin continuously as if pondering something.

"No? There's actually nothing? [Pioneer's] memory has no knowledge about the Great Qin Army at all!"

Wu Liang's mind was now filled with Emperor Shi's domineering image.

He originally thought that since the other party could shout the slogan "Facing national crisis together" to provide support for Huaxia, then even in the old world, without his own presence, Emperor Shi would definitely dispatch the Great Qin Army.

At most, it would just lack the five Great Qin generals that he had imposed, Bai Qi and the rest.

Unexpectedly, in the old world, Emperor Shi actually didn't come forward to provide support!

[Pioneer's] only odd impression of the Terracotta Warriors Museum was that a City-Destroying Level supernatural event once occurred there, whose Fierce Ghost body was merely a stone warrior, with no existence of any special Apang Palace space.

Such a huge difference between the old and new worlds couldn't help but make Wu Liang ponder what Emperor Shi's true origins were.

"Looks like you didn't get the answer you wanted, right?" [Yin Qiming] couldn't help but tease Wu Liang when seeing his behavior.

Currently lost in thought, Wu Liang ignored his taunts, standing motionless like a statue.

At this time, [Yin Qiming] spoke again, "I understand you want to learn some issues regarding the Great Qin Army from [Pioneer], but if it indeed didn't appear in the old world, why don't you consider where the problem lies? What exists now but not in the old world? There's surely some connection between the two, isn't there!"

A saying goes that one phrase can awaken a dreamer!

The moment he spoke, Wu Liang's pupils involuntarily shrank twice, clearly having realized something.

If his mother Yao Qingxue or his father Wu Xiaoyao belonged to the old world with strong presence, but in the new world almost non-existent, and [Pioneer] belonged to both worlds, then conversely, according to [Yin Qiming]'s mentioned phenomenon, there's only one match—Wu Liang himself!

Only he had almost no presence in the old world but in the new world continuously changed the original world's direction through the [Ghost Compendium], even becoming a recognized hero by the public!

In other words—Emperor Shi's appearance to support Huaxia is actually closely related to him!?
