Papa papa.

Ao Yong, or rather Xu Tuoan, clapped his hands approvingly, "You're really amazing. Can you tell me what kind of work you do in real life?"

"I've done a lot of jobs." Li Ang said in a melancholy tone, "When I was a child, I wanted to be an environmental protector, so I didn't flush the toilet for a month to save water, but unfortunately, I was criticized and blamed by everyone.

Later, I became an online streamer, wanting to draw twenty lucky netizens every day to send me a hundred yuan cash red envelope, but unfortunately, no one subscribed to my live broadcast room.

Then, I tried to get some money and planned to open a pesticide factory, but even I didn't dare to drink the pesticides produced by my own factory, so naturally no customers were willing to buy them.

Heartbroken, I planned to go abroad as a mercenary. In order to train my bulletproof ability, I shot myself with small-caliber bullets every day, resulting in a body full of injuries.

Now I've become an inventor, specializing in improving some ordinary objects in life.

For example, inverting a normal chair that can only seat one person, so that it can seat four people at a time, but the chrysanthemum area will be a little painful.

I believe that as long as I keep going, I will become a very successful great inventor."

"..."

Xu Tuoan didn't know what to say for a moment, his heart full of complaints that he couldn't spit out.

"By the way," Li Ang instantly put away his melancholy expression, and asked curiously, "I want to know, after you killed Ao Yong and inherited the player's identity, why did you still perform tasks with us?"

"...You want to know?"

Xu Tuoan threw Li Ang's crazy words to the back of his mind, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "Because before you stepped into the hall and triggered the task, I was just occupying Ao Yong's body, staying in his body with Ao Yong's soul.

In this case, we are still regarded as a whole, as a player, and still need to perform the task of 'going to the hall before 12:00 am', otherwise, we will be erased."

"I see,"

Li Ang nodded, "No wonder you could still project Ao Yong's player information at that time."

"That's right." Xu Tuoan said, "After the task started, Ao Yong and I were teleported to the third floor together. He kept fighting with me for the dominance of the body.

In order to get rid of him, I removed the eyes, tongue, and ears of this body, and then kicked Ao Yong's soul out."

After saying that, Xu Tuoan took off the full-coverage pig-nose breathing mask, revealing a bloody face full of pits.

Ao Yong's body had no tongue, which did not affect Xu Tuoan's intact ghost from continuing to speak.

"His soul still retains the state of the body, becoming a ghost that can't see, can't speak, can't hear, and can only wander in this mall, posing no threat to my plan."

"Is that so..." Li Ang rubbed his chin and said to Liu Wu Dai, "The nameless ghost you encountered on the fourth floor was probably Ao Yong, who was kicked out of his body by Xu Tuoan.

Since he can't see, can't hear, can't speak, he can only chase the vibrations on the ground, and you mistakenly thought it was a ghost from the mall itself. This explains why the number of ghosts was wrong."

Liu Wu Dai believed that she had a strong psychological endurance, but when she saw that Li Ang was unmoved by Ao Yong's tragic face, she still felt a little horrified.

Li Ang seems to be more calm than this ghost...

"Then here comes the question."

Li Ang pondered and said to Xu Tuoan, "After you kicked out Ao Yong's soul, was the task you performed still to draw the talisman?"

"Yes and no."

Xu Tuoan spread his arms and "looked" at the luxurious shopping mall, and said quietly, "Eleven years ago, I was indeed a construction engineer.

But in addition to being an engineer, I was also a member of a secret organization. That organization is called '昙花' (Tán Huā)."

Speaking of this name, Xu Tuoan was silent for a moment, and then continued, "The Tán Huā organization originated from abroad, and its establishment can be traced back to at least the century before last. It has a long tradition and only absorbs those who are rich enough or talented enough.

As an architect, I was only a little famous in the circle and not qualified for the threshold, but I accidentally completed a design drawing of a church before being absorbed by the organization.

There, I came into contact with some... special things."

"Transcendent power?" Li Ang asked.

"Transcendent power." Xu Tuoan nodded, "They said that I had innate transcendent perception, and taught me many religious and mysterious knowledge from different civilizations and different eras. Some of these things can even play a role in real life.

Although the effect is very small."

"I have been absorbing this knowledge. One day, I received a task from my superiors, asking me to set up a magic circle in the Longheng Plaza, which I participated in building, that could gather Yin energy.

Longheng Plaza has a special geographical location, which can attract Yin and evil spirits from all directions, which is helpful for refining magical artifacts and raising Yin souls.

I have always hated the evil and filth buried deep within the Tán Huā organization. Considering that after the magic circle was completed, the Yin and evil spirits pouring in from all directions would cause innocent people to die, I changed the content of the talismans issued to me by the organization that day.

I changed the magic circle for gathering Yin energy into one for exterminating evil spirits.

Unfortunately, before the Exterminating Evil magic circle was completed, I fell from the bracket and died—not assassination, not murder, just a very funny and absurd accident."

Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on Ao Yong's ugly and ferocious face, "After I died, I was always trapped here, and the Tán Huā organization never came to deal with the follow-up events for some reason.

I wandered here as a ghost, barely maintaining my existence with a trace of insignificant Yin energy."

"Later, there were several accidental deaths, and a few more residents were added to the mall. Just when the Yin energy here was not enough, an accident happened."

Xu Tuoan said quietly, "Seven months ago, a large amount of Yin and evil energy suddenly poured in here, which not only allowed us lonely ghosts to maintain our forms, but also greatly improved our cultivation.

I understand that the 'apocalypse' moment that the Tán Huā organization has been telling me about has finally arrived."

"After regaining our strength, we lonely ghosts were thinking about how to escape.

I learned a lot of mysterious knowledge about runes and magic circles before I died, and I can complete the unfinished Yin Gathering Array in the mall again. The only prerequisite is that there must be brave blood energy of living people as a guide.

As a ghost, I can't complete the Yin Gathering Array, even if I take over the body of an ordinary person—after a fierce ghost takes over and resides in the body of a mortal, the Yin energy it carries will quickly cause the body to rot, and cannot generate enough blood energy to complete the Yin Gathering Array."

Li Ang frowned and said, "At this time, we arrived, right?"
