The Corpse Collector In Conan

Chapter 11: Murdeorus Aura

If the child ghost targets had a favourable impression with their summoner, a less murderous aura was used when the skill was activated, and the skill could be used in more actions.

And if it were an enemy or someone hostile to Jiang Xia, it would take a lot of energy, and the skill usually could only be used once.

The child ghost had also discovered his new skills.

It was pleased, with a pair of ghost eyes shining brightly, and snorted happily.

After signing the contract, it could only use skills when Jiang Xia ordered it.

Fortunately, this is the case; otherwise, Jiang Xia suspected that this child ghost would sneak into Yoko Okino's life someday and give her a handsome actor to force CP.

*****

Jiang Xia was silent for more than ten seconds after looking at the skill description.

In the end, he decided to choose a name for this skill.

Let's call it "forced love."

This skill seemed useless at first glance.

However, if enough murderous aura could be found in the future to strengthen the child ghost, its skills will also be upgraded.

For example, the "forced love" that could only make people move their lips needed double the murderous energy before they could make others confess.

After upgrading, it might become "forced to hold hands," "forced to hug," "forced to kiss," "forced @*$%;*," etc., with just a little murderous aura...

It is handy as long as the enemy's movements could be under control.

All in all, it was not too wasteful. If the skill could be used smartly, it might have miraculous effects...

*****

And with a ghost, you could create a "puppet."

Although Jiang Xia could only make a child's body now, it would be handy in any situation.

Jiang Xia comforted himself briefly and left the basement with the newly signed child ghost.

After signing the contract, the psychic master's control over ghosts would be significantly strengthened.

However, you had to take care of its meals and upgrades...

You had to take care of everything messed up by the ghost.

It's the same as adopting a serf who was obedient but had to eat, cover, and educate.

Usually, the child ghost could be retained in the tattoo because there was an unscientific space.

Jiang Xia's murderous aura was also kept inside.

It's just that there were not many ghosts in Jiang Xia's hands... to be precise, and there is only one.

So he didn't bother to keep the child ghost in the tattoo space.

Anyway, this child ghost is small and easy to carry. It's more suitable to leave it outside, so Jiang Xia didn't need trouble getting it when he needed it.

*****

After the contract, the ghost's attitude towards Jiang Xia was much better than before, and it felt close when it saw him.

It crawled along Jiang Xia's arm to his shoulder and rubbed its face against his face.

However, rights and obligations usually go hand in hand.

Just as Jiang Xia was thinking about it, he saw the child ghost poking his face, then patting his stomach, giving a hint.

- It's hungry.

Jiang Xia: "..."

Raising ghosts is so troublesome.

But still have to feed.

The child ghost who had been signed would have a family bond bonus to the psychic master.

That is to say, even if the psychic were a bit sloppy, they would forgive the master with tears.

But it is very easy to capsize if the psychic masters were tyrannical, treated too harshly, and had many ghosts simultaneously.

Once the ghosts were abused and out of control, the psychic end would often be particularly tragic - so miserable that it could be printed on textbooks as teaching materials and circulated forever.

In short, most psychics were still very cordial to their ghosts.

This was also a fundamental work ethic for the psychic master.

*****

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia reluctantly convinced himself. Then, he reluctantly drew out a wispy black line.

It was one of those murderous auras looted from Gin.

He had been saving it all the time, and he was not willing to use it - even compared with the previous life with relatively abundant resources, this was considered a high-quality murderous aura.

Jiang Xia initially only took out a whole strand.

But after looking at the child ghost's small physique and thinking about the fact that there was not much stock in hand, he tore the murderous aura from the middle and saved half of it.

After that, Jiang Xia stared at the remaining half, pondered for a moment, slowly stretched out his hand, tore the remaining half, and saved the other half again.

The child ghost silently watched the murderous aura that was shortened repeatedly: "..."

Shouldn't he nod quickly when Jiang Xia asked if he wanted to sign a contract just now?

But by now, it's too late to regret it.

There was a contract to fulfill; not only did the ghost not think that Jiang Xia was too much, but the child ghost was very thoughtful of Jiang Xia.

It patted Jiang Xia's shoulder with tears in its eyes, indicating that he would work hard to help gather the murderous aura and come back for his master so that Jiang Xia would not need to save so much.

Jiang Xia was delighted and finally gave it away. Ready to feed the ghosts.

Of course, he couldn't feed it directly; Because it's not easy to digest.

Jiang Xia returned to the first floor, found his jacket, took out the cigarette case, and made out a "cigarette."

Although this thing was created into the shape of a cigarette, the filler was not tobacco but dried foam of several kinds of plants.

This thing had a scientific name called 'ghostnip' in the psychic world.

Jiang Xia once suspected that the person who invented it had a cat at home, and he had the evidence on hand.

However, although the name was very similar to catnip, ghostnip itself had no appeal to ghosts.

It's just very good at helping absorb the murderous aura that psychics had caught - such as this murderous aura in Jiang Xia's hands.

It was produced by Gin, High Quality.

Best of all, it actually had a hint of wine flavoran indication of high quality.

Jiang Xia brought the murderous aura that was torn off next to ghostnip. It would melt into the smoke quickly.

Then Jiang Xia lit the cigarette.

The smoke rose, and the child ghost climbed onto the back of his hand, held the cigarette butt, and took a deep breath in satisfaction.

Jiang Xia could also eat something like a murderous aura.

Not to satisfy hunger but to replenish energy.

However, he worked out regularly, had enough rest, and never used his skills wantonly, So he was very energetic.

So, although he was a bit greedy, he didn't grab food from the child ghost.

*****

Jiang Xia didn't know if the child ghost was too hungry or because the murderous aura was too little.

It took a few seconds to climb close, and the cigarette had already burned out more than half.

Jiang Xia shook a long piece of ash into the ashtray.

After that, the last bit of ghostnip mixed with murderous aura was also sucked out.

Jiang Xia: "..."

This ghost seems to be gluttonous.

Jiang Xia let go of his hand and threw the extinguished cigarette butt into the ashtray.

The child ghost touched his belly and seemed to want another one.

Jiang Xia checked its status and found that it had recovered from the blow of the broken ideal and was now healthy.

So he resolutely turned his face away, pretended not to understand the hint, and carried the ashtray to the bathroom to rinse.
