Law of the Swarm

Chapter 136 Ghosts

System didn't know how ghosts in this world were born, nor did he know what the habits of ghosts were.

But there must be a reason for everything to exist. This kind of ghost can appear in his nest for three consecutive days, and there must be a reason for harassing his ant people.

The ghost may be to scare the ants for fun and observe the reaction of the disturbed ants; it may be to survive, by sending out strange mental fluctuations, affecting the emotions of the ants and absorbing negative emotions...

Or the situation that System is most worried about. This ghost body is similar to the ghosts in some ghost novels in the previous life. It wants to occupy the ant people or his body and possess it.

And System, who thought of this, has already made preparations today.

He no longer let the ants separate and busy with their own work again, but gathered all the intelligent ant people in several nearby empty rooms.

Even Butterfly Ola and Little Meatball are the same.

However, System did not have the ability to mobilize the lazy butterflies, so the place where these ant people gathered, System chose to be near the empty room where Aura was.

Even Linda, the ant queen who has limited mobility, was transported here with the help of soldier ant knight Xiaoqiang.

……

It was a little later than System expected, and it took more than ten minutes for the white spirit body to appear, emitting the same gloomy and desperate mental fluctuations as the previous two days.

Since the ant chambers were very close to each other, System rushed over when the ghost appeared, and saw the appearance of the ghost.

Although I have seen the appearance of ghosts through the witness images of worker ant knights before, but the intelligence of worker ant knights is not very high, and the images sent back are not very clear, just have a blurry appearance.

The ghost in System's eyes is about one meter long, and its appearance still retains the characteristics of the rat man. It seems to be a ghost that turned into a rat man after death.

Unlike the previous few times when this ghost appeared and quickly ran away, today this ghost did not choose to flee after seeing the ants gathering, but instead sent out gloomy and desperate mental fluctuations even more frantically.

System timely used the ability of [Detective Analysis] to look at the opponent.

"Hessein betrayed us, he shouldn't have done that, he will be punished."

"The demon lord will not let us go."

"Lance, why isn't Lance here, he should be here, do you know where he is?"

This ghost does not seem to send spiritual messages, but uses mental fluctuations to simulate the language of the rat man, and the words are very confusing.

If it hadn't been for System's initial grasp of this foreign language during the year and a half of pupation, it would have been difficult for him to hear what this ghost said from its mental fluctuations.

Using mental messages to inform Shava and the other ant knights not to act rashly, System carefully observed the rat man's ghost that was changing shape from time to time in the air.

This ratman ghost was somewhat similar to the ratman evil believer that System had captured before, and seemed a little nervous.

I don't know if it's because the ghost of the ratman is also a follower of the evil god Rafal, or if the ghost of the ratman became a ghost and appeared to be insane.

"No, you are not rat people, what are you, who are you? What monsters are you?"

The ratman ghost seemed to have regained some consciousness. It looked at System and the other ant people with a blank expression, and then became panicked.

Seeing the flustered ghost of the Rat Man who was about to run away at any time, System let out a hoarse voice and said, "Lance Corrisius, is he the Rat Man you're looking for?"

Lance Corysius was the same ratman wizard who blew himself up before his death and gave System the [Curse of Severance]. Later, System got it from the book left by the ratman wizard. Know his name.

The name System is still unforgettable.

Now that he saw the acquaintance of this rat man wizard, System naturally wanted to make some inquiries.

Hearing System's words, the ghost of the Ratman who was about to escape through the dirt wall was obviously taken aback. It suddenly floated in front of System from the air and said, "You know Lance? Where is it? Where is it? Where……"

It seemed that the rat-man wizard who was killed by Shava was very important to this rat-man ghost. The rat-man ghost almost stuck to System's face, and the words that came out seemed very urgent.

"Who is Hessein? Why did he betray you and what did he do?"

System did not answer the Rat Man's question, but asked the Rat Man a rhetorical question.

However, System's rhetorical question didn't make the Rat Man Specter start to answer, it just stayed in front of System, stared at System and kept repeating the previous question, turning a deaf ear to System's question.

"Where is Lance? I'm looking for him, I'm looking for him, I'm looking for him, I'm looking for him..."

System stared into the eyes of the ghost of the rat man, and continued to speak: "You tell me who Hessein is first, and then I will tell you where Lance Corysius is."

However, the ghost of the ratman still maintained a state of madness, and kept repeating the previous words: "Lance, I want to find him, I want to find him, I want to find him..."

……

"Aren't all ratmen mentally insane?"

System's fangs twitched lightly. Since he came to this world, the ratmen he caught or encountered were more or less mentally abnormal. I don't know if all the ratmen in this world are like this. .

But while System was thinking about how to continue to ask this rat-man ghost, System's blood trembled a few times, and his [intuition] suddenly felt a burst of inexplicable uneasiness.

Because of the [intuition] reminder, System quickly felt a very faint murderous intent and excitement amidst the frenzied mental fluctuations of the Ratman ghost.

Normally, System's [Mind Transmission] power can't perceive the ghost's emotions at all, but System's use of spiritual information is really too proficient, and it is this ghost who took the initiative to send out mental fluctuations.

So System immediately noticed the abnormality in the mental fluctuations of the ghost in front of him.

Like lightning, a white shadow cut the ghost in front of System in half. It was Shava.

At the same time when he discovered the abnormality of the ghost, System decisively used [Spiritual Connection] to notify Shava on the side to deal with the ghost.

However, this ghost was not too much affected by Shava's slash. After being cut open, the ghost quickly recovered.

Perhaps because he found that System and his group of bugs were not easy to provoke, the Ratman ghost changed his crazy image, and after recovering his spirit body, he quickly floated towards the dirt wall.

It seems to be trying to escape through the wall...

Seeing that the initial attack didn't work, Shava rushed up quickly and continued to slash the ghost continuously. System also sprayed out [Frost Breath] in an attempt to attack the fleeing ghost, but neither Shava nor System Mudu had no noticeable effect on the ghost.

Even though it was chopped into a dozen pieces by Shava's slash, the ghost of the Ratman still floated slowly towards the mud wall, but at a slower speed.

But just when the ghost was about to escape through the wall, a red flame the size of a grain of rice suddenly appeared and hit the ghost.

Like sparks meeting gasoline, the ghost instantly ignited.

In less than a second, the ghost was completely burned by the red fire without even making a scream...
