Chapter 120: 120 Lost Clouds of the Underground Palace 5

As expected, the attack was not yet over.

I stared at the crystal coffin, waiting to see the effect of the long shirt man’s attack.

After a few moments, a few tiny black spots appeared where the sarcophagus was hit and the black spots were expanding fast.

I didn't know what kind of attack he had used, so I watched what was happening carefully.

As the black spots expanded, they gradually joined and became one piece. At this moment, the crystal coffin seemed to have a reaction. A tendril of white smoke came out of the open crevice and floated slowly to the black spots.

As soon as the white smoke touched the black spot, it was like a drop of water dripped into boiling oil, making a loud sizzling sound. After the sound, the black spots disappeared in the places shrouded in white smoke.

But it was only a moment before the black spots extended back to where they had been. The white smoke kept coming out, it seemed that after a short period of time, there would be a seesaw battle with the black spots in that small area.

The long shirt man suddenly spoke, “Sister Hua, do you think that white smoke looks like ghost Qi?”

Sister Hua observed it carefully and said, “It really looks like it. But it's a little different and I've never seen anything quite like it before.”

I couldn’t understand what Sister Hua and the long shirt man were talking about, so I didn’t say a single word. However, Huang Xiaolong was a dabbler. He followed Sister Hua, observed for a while and finally said, “This gas. I think I've seen it somewhere.”

Everyone looked at Huang Xiaolong but he didn’t care. He focused his attention on the white smoke that came out of the crystal coffin, frowning and acting as if he were thinking hard.

He stood there thinking for a long time. I focused my attention back on Sister Hua and the others.

“Obsession”, Huang Xiaolong screamed with joy, startling me.

“Obsession?” Sister Hua repeated after him, then she suddenly seemed to understand and said, “There is a kind of obsession mixed with the ghost Qi. It’s so weird.”

I touched Xiao Lingdang who stood beside me, saying, “Is it weird that the man who died by cause of injustice has an obsession?”

Xiao Lingdang just rolled her eyes at me, saying, “Didn't I tell you? A ghost who has an obsession is an obsession ghost and those who have ghost Qi are true ghosts. If someone has both of them when they die, they are a corresponding ghost.”

I seemed to get what she was saying, but not entirely, so I just nodded and said, “It's still not unusual to have both.”

I thought about it for a while, but I still couldn’t understand her words. Then I acted as if I were very curious about this, just like a curious baby.

Then Xiao Lingdang sighed and said to me, “For example, if you die unjustly and hate the one who killed you but, meanwhile, you’re also sad to leave your family.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“So, then you want to get rid of your grievances, but why do you want to do it? Because you want to be with your family. At this time, you would become an obsession ghost because your deepest thought at that moment is that you loath to leave your family. Then the ghost Qi in your body disappears and this is the reason there are few real ghosts. The fact is that most people want to get rid of their grievances in the hopes of getting something else, such as family love and so on, rarely do they simply want to avenge their grievances. If sister Lulu hadn't taken the oath, maybe she would not have become a ghost, and her purpose for redressing the injustice was simply to avenge, which would only turn her into a grievance ghost.”

When she mentioned Lulu, I suddenly felt sad. Maybe Xiao Lingdang had also discovered that she had inadvertently mentioned Lulu, so she quickly continue talking about the original topic.

“Conversely, if you think you can’t leave your family, but you also want to get rid of your grievances, you do it because you love your family. So, finally, you still become an obsession ghost.”

“Whether an obsession ghost, true ghost or other ghost, as long as you choose one, the other emotions will become the ghost emotion of the ghost you will become.”

Xiao Lingdang had said a lot without any explanations, but I thought maybe I got it. To put it bluntly, the emotion as you are dying dominates.

As I talked with Xiao Lingdang, the communication between Sister Hua and others had never stopped. However, what they were talking about wasn’t as superficial as our conversation. They were talking about the reason for the coexistence of two emotions.

Here, there were two strong emotions at the same time, which was agreed upon by Sister Hua and the others, because only in this way could the current situation be explained clearly.

Nonetheless, they still couldn’t agree on how to deal with this complicated ghost emotion.

relatively speaking, ghost Qi was protected. So, before revenge, the ghost had an existence of immortality, because the entanglement of cause and effect will make an evil ghost receive a supplement of ghost Qi. Of course, it also depended on the ghosts themselves. If they had given up revenge, then the cause and effect would be removed, naturally there would be no more supplement for the ghost Qi.

But obsession was totally different. It was when someone was not willing to give up on some things, such as a lover, child, or even a plaything. The obsession emotion originated from the obsession. The deeper the obsession, the heavier the obsession emotion became. Then a must-have idea would emerge and it was this idea that made the obsession aggressive.

If the ghost Qi was a shield, the obsession would be a spear. What we were dealing with now was an armed ghost.

According to Huang Xiaolong's idea, we could crush the crystal coffin and break it with violence. However, who would be crushed in the end? Nobody knew.

The long shirt man’s idea was very simple. He suggested finding what on earth the ghost’s obsession was. This ghost had this obsession because it couldn’t get what it wanted. Once it got it, the obsession would disappear. After that, ghost Qi would burst out and it would become a true ghost. Then it would complain or revenge, instead of fighting against us. Of course, the premise was that the other side didn’t have the time or energy to care about us.

Sister Hua’s idea was a little similar to the long shirt man’s. However, the opposite was true. It was to break the other side’s ghost Qi, leaving just the obsession. Because the obsession would make the obsession ghost completely ignore our existence.

Huang Xiaolong’s idea was rejected first because controlling Wu Jian was very easy. But even the mysterious man was being controlled, which meant that neither Sister Hua nor the long shirt man could affect the strength of the other side.

But both Sister Hua and the long shirt man couldn’t convince each other.

After Huang Xiaolong’s idea was rejected by Sister Hua, she directly supported the long shirt man, and Yan’er’s attitude was also very clear. She naturally supported Sister Hua. As for me, I knew nothing, so I didn’t have a say in this matter.

“Xiao Lingdang, which idea do you think is better?” Since I was being ignored, I asked Xiao Lingdang, who was also being ignored.

“Sister Hua, unless we have some action for its obsession, the ghost will never care about us, even if we attack it. Maybe it won’t even fight back, so we are very safe.”

I just nodded indifferently, “What about the ghost? The long shirt man says the ghost also won’t attack us.”

Xiao Lingdang thought for a while and said, “That's not necessarily true. Well, some ghosts will also attack people, even actively sometimes. Sister Hua’s idea is better. All obsession ghosts are very stupid.
