Chapter 64: Chapter 0064: Cemetery

Translator: 549690339

This is a graveyard.

It's located on the outskirts of Posey Port, on a small hill. The densely packed marble tombstones nearly occupy all the available space.

“May the deceased rest in peace, and the living enjoy tranquility!”

At the entrance of the graveyard, these two inscriptions are carved on the door frame guarded by two stone angels.

Su Lu looked up at the sky.

By now, it was completely dark, with only the stars and a large moon casting a silver glow.

'Generally speaking, [Spirit Mediums] seeking to advance… need to continually hone their abilities, and a city's graveyard, often located on the outskirts…'

In this respect, his previous aimless wandering was in line with the latent desires of a [Spirit Medium].

The cemetery gate had long since been closed, and a faint light was emanating from the gravedigger's wooden hut.

Su Lu did not alert him, but climbed over the side wall to get in.

Although he was not here to do anything wrong, being discovered would still be inconvenient.

In the Federation, grave robbing and body snatching are both serious crimes! —although some medical students secretly engage in these acts, even using bodies to contribute toward their tuition.

Su Lu was not interested in corpses, but in necromancy! In wandering souls!

“According to the religious scriptures of this world, a believer's soul is guided by angels to ascend to the domain of the god they believe in after death… while the souls of non-believers automatically go to the Spirit World…”

[Spirit Mediums] study spiritual bodies and the Spirit World, so Su Lu was very clear that where they go is actually the same place.

“The Spirit World is the destination of all spirits, but some spirits linger in the mortal world for a long time after death due to obsessions, resentment, and other reasons, forming 'wandering souls'! A type of spiritual body that floats around at night, similar to ghostly flames… and once they remain for a long time wltnout dissipating, or aDsorD some strange tmngs, or are Innuencea DY certain existences, they become vengeful spirits or even evil spirits!”

Ordinary wandering souls are not aggressive, they can only frighten people at best.

But vengeful spirits and evil spirits are completely different! They inherently hate living beings and will attack any creature within their range!

In a way, they pose an even greater danger than the systematically murderous Cursed Spirits!

“According to Rod… some lunatics have designed a very peculiar career path based on the various forms of spiritual bodies. The initial requirement is suicide, becoming a spiritual body, then gradually advancing… Regrettably, he does not know the specific name of the profession.”

The so-called occupational system is essentially a very open path to learn from various mysteries and transcendent powers.

Since some demon worshipers want to get closer to demons, it is perfectly reasonable that some madmen want to become lords of the undead or the like.

Although, once such a path is discovered, it will certainly be eradicated relentlessly.

Walking among the tombstones, with the hooting of an owl in his ears, the surroundings are silent and it feels as if a bony hand will emerge from the soil at any moment.

In such an environment, ordinary people would be scared to death, but Su Lu felt fine.

“Found it!”

In his line of sight, he saw a blue-green phosphorus fire hovering over a tombstone.

In fact, this is a 'wandering soul' that has nowhere to go and doesn't want to go to the Spirit World!

It has almost lost all its memories and poses no harm, only roaming aimlessly in places full of negative energy, just to scare off the night watchman and grave robbers.

“Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth… The departed, the Spirit World is your final destination!”

Su Lu moved closer. Through his Inspiration, he saw the wandering soul across him as an elegantly dressed elderly gentleman, his face pale and his expression blank. He looked at Su Lu sending him to the Spirit World without any resistance.

In fact, facing a [Spirit Medium], he couldn't resist even if he wanted to.

After finishing all this, Su Lu grimaced, “No experience! As for the capabilities of [Spirit Medium], it seems that I did get a little exercise, but this progress is so slow that unless I guide hundreds of wandering souls to transcend, it would not be noticeable at all!”

After getting used to the rapid rise of the attribute bar, this pace of advancement is almost as slow as a snail's crawl.

“But… I won't arbitrarily destroy harmless wandering souls, even if they can provide experience!”

Su Lu felt some necessary bottom lines still needed to be adhered to.

Otherwise, having an attribute bar, he might have turned into a World Destroyer by now.

Let alone, there doesn't seem to be a 'God of Slaughter' in this world! The pattern seems to match the rules of gaining experience quite well.

“Thinking too much…”

Su Lu shook his head, “Maybe… I should try to let spirits possess me, let them speak of their obsessions and needs, fulfill them on their behalf, and earn a certain reward?”

Take the old gentleman just now for example, he seemed well-off, surely he could afford to part with a few Golden Dragons.

This is probably the main source of income for many [Spirit Mediums].

Gradually, Su Lu came to a desolate area.

The graves here were very haphazard, some graves didn't even have tombstones and were very rudimentary. It was clear that not much thought was put into them, reminding him of a mass grave.

“Maybe… they're still lucky, after all, they have a grave! Many more vagrants and unemployed, they die silently, discovered only to be cremated…” Su Lu sighed.

Where there is light, there will be darkness! This is an everlasting theme.

Not to mention, the White Eagle Federation is now in a period of intense change, various sacrifices are inevitable.

In this area alone, the number of 'wandering souls' appearing is several times more than before!

Su Lu guided them one by one to the Spirit World, and suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

In a pitch-black shadow, he saw a unique wandering soul!

Ordinary wandering souls appear to ordinary people as clumps of blue-green phosphorescent light, only Inspiration can truly outline their faces from when they were alive.

But this one, even when observed with the naked eye, looked different from other spiritual bodies.

It was a cluster of dark red flames, hovering in mid-air, with a twisted human face visible in the middle!

This was exactly the type that would scare people to death if encountered at night.

Even more, it was consciously chasing after other wandering souls, swallowing them one by one. For each one swallowed, its body grew a little larger. Upon seeing Su Lu, instead of being afraid, it approached him with malice.

“A wandering soul about to ascend into an evil spirit?”

Su Lu's eyes lit up: “Spirit Thorn!”

When facing this kind of creature, he decisively utilized his own ability.

Puff!

Powerful Inspiration turned into a cone, hitting the dark red flame right in the center.

“Ahhh!!!”

The flame suddenly froze in mid-air and the face screamed out in agony.

“Disappear completely!”

After pinning down this wandering soul, Su Lu still had the energy to step forward, staring at the resentful face within the soul fire, unceremoniously taking action once again.

A dagger smeared with his own blood appeared in his right hand, stabbing viciously down.

Pop!

The wandering soul instantly shattered like an egg, being promptly squashed into dust by the ensuing Spirit oppression..
