Volume 2: Empire Chapter 26 Spiritual Sphere
After realizing that the light ball was harmless, the Sheriff and Dark Night became bolder. They used their mental power to control the light ball to fall from the sky onto the table, and then... they began to wrestle for control of the light ball.
The light ball is the size of a teacup. Because it has no substance, it looks like an eye from any angle. The center is pitch black, the outer circle is grayish-white mist, and in the center are rays that radiate from the inside to the outside. It rolls between the cat and the mouse, just like a harmless toy.
Clear Sky watched from the side.
She believed in the judgment made by the Shadow Parasite, a top-level spiritual creature, but anything related to the abyss should be treated with caution.
The two little creatures fought fiercely for the ball of light, and neither of them could get it.
"Hey kid." The sheriff saw that he could not gain control of the light ball, so he said to Dark Night: "This thing comes from Grover's soul. As Grover's former parasite, I have the right to inherit all his legacy."
Dark Night refused to give in: "Everything in the empire belongs to the royal family. I am the guardian knight of Princess Dai'er and I have the right to take this thing back into the hands of the state."
"You farted! Give it to me!"
"This is mine."
The pulling continues...
Qingkong picked up a large glass and placed the ball of light on the table. She looked left and right at the stunned cat and mouse.
“The behavior of the two of you makes me doubt that this thing is not what you said...it is just a low-level spiritual supernatural creature.
Sheriff, I am warning you! What Grover committed in Raging Waves was treason. If you think you have the right to inherit Grover's legacy, I will send you to Meteorite to have you tried for your joint crime.
And you, Dark Night! Even the emperor of the empire dares not say that "everything in the empire belongs to the royal family". You are just a knight, not even close to the royal family.
Remember, you are just assistants I have hired to assist in this experiment. I will give you the agreed compensation, but all the output of the experiment belongs to me.
Do you have any objections? "
The sheriff and Dark Night shook their heads together.
Of course, Qingkong didn't need to reason with the two guys. He could force them to give up fighting for the light ball. But to understand what this thing was, he needed the help of two shadow parasitic meta-iteration bodies. If they deliberately concealed something and rashly studied this spiritual supernatural creature related to the abyss, there would be endless troubles.
The two Dark Night Parasites made their stance clear, and Qingkong let go of the glass. Without the pull of mental power, the light ball floated irregularly in the glass.
The cat and the mouse came to the glass and looked at each other through the glass wall.
Qingkong used magic to move a chair and sat down, saying, "Now who can tell me what this thing is."
"Let me tell you." The sheriff sat down facing the clear sky, with his tail wrapped around his feet. "We didn't lie to you just now. This is indeed a low-level spiritual supernatural creature that can only passively respond to external stimuli. What we concealed is... it not only inherited Grover 's knowledge, but also Grover's spiritual energy.
And because of the mutation just now, all of this spiritual energy has been transformed into negative spiritual energy."
Qingkong's studies at Oulu College were fruitful.
Spiritual energy can be divided into positive and negative.
Positive spiritual energy can give people a positive state; negative spiritual energy accumulates from various negative emotions and is latent and contagious.
These two spiritual energies exist simultaneously in the human spirit.
Mental status spells are the amplification and utilization of these two kinds of mental energies.
Grover's life review shows that his negative mental energy is a long process of accumulation and growth. After being forced into a desperate situation by Luke step by step in the City of Fury, it exploded and triggered the response of the Book of Disaster after his powerful mental power was amplified.
During the initial stages of their research on the Book of Disasters, the Apostles of the Abyss were constantly induced by negative spiritual energy, and they gradually fell into the abyss.
And from the phenomenon just now, it can be seen that the Book of Disaster, as the door to the abyss, is not opened in one direction. As long as there is strong enough negative energy, the abyss will open its arms.
Qingkong then asked Dark Night, "Do you have anything to add?"
Dark Night replied: "The reason we are fighting for it is because it is easy to control and has an extremely powerful spiritual energy. It can become a very powerful weapon."
"Very good." Qingkong praised the two cooperating Dark Night Parasites, and then said, "I know a secret technique that can enhance the mental power of your current host and greatly improve your strength.
The extent of the improvement depends on what new things you can tell me."
Two ice cubes appeared in front of the Sheriff and Dark Night.
This time, Dark Night did not let the sheriff get ahead. She quickly said, "Ms. Clear Sky, as long as you know how to control this thing, it can launch mental attacks on the target as you wish. Confusion, anger, hallucination, sadness... For targets with insufficient mental strength, you can directly seal its mind and lock it in a dark room."
The block of ice in front of Dark Night kept growing bigger as she spoke.
"To use it only for mental attacks is to underestimate its ability." The sheriff curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You don't know how profound Grover's knowledge is. It is a mental library.
Miss Clear Sky, you are a scholar, and as long as your spirit connects to this thing, you will gain access to Grover's treasure trove of knowledge."
The ice in front of Dark Night stopped growing, and the ice in front of the sheriff grew larger. And it grew very fast, and it was obvious that his answer satisfied Clear Sky more.
Dark Night said anxiously: "Of course I know that this thing contains a wealth of knowledge, but Miss Qingkong cannot possess them directly. She must give instructions to this thing to let it find them.
I would rather suggest giving it a target instruction and letting it collect the necessary knowledge on its own to conduct mental simulation experiments.
Ms. Clear Sky, for example, if you ask it to develop a fireball spell, it can construct a spell model to release the fireball spell by itself. And with its powerful mental power, it can also launch the fireball according to your instructions.
This thing can do more than just mental attacks."
As Dark Night shouted at the sheriff, the ice in front of her had grown twice as big as the sheriff.
The sheriff bared his teeth in disdain again: "As Grover's parasite, I can help Miss Qingkong obtain the ownership of this thing.
Can you?
The ice in front of the sheriff surged.
Dark Night jumped onto his own ice block and waved his little paw at Clear Sky: “I can make sure he really lets you own this thing.”
Qingkong made the ice cube in the dark night as big as the sheriff, and said with a smile: "I like you two too much. It's a waste of your talents if you two don't go to Deyun Club!"

Spirit Orb is the name given by Qingkong to the ball of light in the cup.
Then, with the assistance of two shadow parasitic meta-iterations, Qingkong used his own spirit to connect with the spirit orb.
The spiritual line extends from Qingkong's brow.
The eyes of the Sheriff and Dark Night shot out rays, using their mental control abilities to adjust the frequency band of the mental power emitted by the clear sky. The mental line vibrated towards the mental ball in the cup, ignoring the obstruction of the glass wall and reaching in.
Qingkong's spiritual line pierced into the black hole in the center of the spiritual ball, and the vibration frequency of the line increased, and the amplitude became larger. At this time, the originally quiet spiritual ball became irritable, and the round sphere continued to deform, and the rays in the sphere grew inward, as if stimulated to close the black hole.
At this time, the Sheriff and Dark Night continued to control the mental connection calmly like the most brilliant surgeons. The mental orb was very powerful for them, but it was still a low-level mental creature, and it only took skill to deal with it alone.
The violent mental orb gradually calmed down, and Qingkong, who was in the process of mental connection, received its response.
In the void, all kinds of suffocating negative emotions came over him. They did not attack the clear sky, but formed a storm that rushed disorderly in this space.
“Ms. Qingkong.” The sheriff’s voice sounded in the void: “Don’t be affected by negative energy. They won’t attack you.”
Qingkong didn't move and said, "What's the next step?"
"This is the space of consciousness left behind after Grover's soul disappeared. An unknown force wiped out Grover's traces and turned everything here into pure spiritual energy.
It also turned it into a spiritual creature, a very strange and powerful force."
"Answer my question first."
The sheriff said in a relaxed tone: "Ms. Qingkong, you don't have to do anything. As long as the mental connection is completed , it will become very well behaved."
Dark Night's voice came out: "Miss Qingkong, please rest assured, I will always monitor him."
The sheriff said angrily: "You don't need to seek a sense of existence here. Harming Miss Qingkong will not do me any good!"
Clear Sky said, "Dark Night, do your job well, and your reward will not be less. Sheriff, pay attention."
"Yes, Miss Clear Sky."
"Yes, Miss Clear Sky."
The mental connection continued, and an inexplicable sense of perception was generated in Qingkong's mind.
The mental turbulence in the runaway state turned into a whirlwind, rotating around the mental power that penetrated from Qingkong. The speed of the whirlwind gradually weakened, slowly concentrated, and finally condensed into a thing like a mental instrument that stopped in front of Qingkong's mental power.
At this moment, the entire space was filled with starlight.
Rows of bookshelves appear in the vast spiritual space, combining into a satellite ring similar to the stands of a stadium.
Without the sheriff's reminder, Qingkong knew that she had completed the spiritual connection with the spiritual ball. She took back her spiritual power from the knowledge space of the spiritual ball. After the order was issued, the spiritual ball in the glass flew out to a position at Qingkong's shoulder height.
Without any subsequent commands, the spirit orb automatically revolved around the clear sky, like a planet orbiting a star.
That feeling of oneness is as if the spirit orb is a part of your body.
"It's amazing!" Qingkong said with emotion.
The sheriff shook his stiff head and said, "Ms. Clear Sky, this low-level spiritual creature is yours. Nothing can take it away from you without your consent. My fellow creatures can prove what I say."
Dark Night said truthfully, "Yes. Your spiritual connection with it is so strong that you could say it is now a spiritual extension of you.
As for how to use it, all we give are our inferences, and the specific functions still need to be discovered by yourself.
But I guarantee it is a very useful spell output turret."
Qingkong stretched out her hand, and the spirit ball came to the palm of her hand, and then moved nimbly between her fingers as her palm turned.
"I like it very much! Even if it has no function, it is still a lovable pet. " Qingkong played with the spirit ball: "I think the reward for you should be increased. I think you should have no objection."
"No objection."
Only a fool would object to increasing the rewards.
Qingkong waved his hand, and a piece of paper flew up from the prop rack next to him and landed in front of the sheriff and Dark Night.
"The increased reward requires a mysterious item called the Teardrop from the Deep Sea of Silence. It is a very beautiful and large pearl. This pearl is now in the imperial capital, worn on a lady's necklace.
The address and the other party's information are all on this piece of paper. Bring it to me and I will be able to unlock the secret technique I will give you as a reward."
The cat and the mouse came up to the paper and looked at it.
Stealth, stealing... are what the Shadow Clan excels at, so when they heard about this mission, their nature as the Dark Night Parasite was immediately aroused.
What's more, he was stealing for himself.
However, the Sheriff and Dark Night looked at each other.
“I will not cooperate with her.”
"He'll hold me back."
But Qingkong insisted that they complete the task together: "You two current hosts complement each other very well, which can increase your success rate in completing the task. The place you are going to this time is not an ordinary person's home. There are magic traps, guards, hounds, and you have to find the location of things in an unfamiliar place and bring them out. It is not something you can handle alone.
Just now when you helped me to connect with me mentally, you cooperated very well. I absolutely believe that you will be a very suitable partner. "
Professionalism made the Sheriff and Dark Night realize that Qingkong was right. They were not capable of dealing with emergencies alone. In an unfamiliar environment, what they needed most was another pair of eyes, another pair of ears, and another pair of hands...
"Okay, just this once."
"I'm going to ask Princess Dale for leave and tell her...I'm going out with a cat to do some things."
"I just like obedient children." Qingkong smiled with a successful plan: "Now I will use the secret technique for you and give you the rewards you deserve. The increased rewards will be paid immediately when you get the pearls.
There are also some equipment I prepared for you, I hope you like it..."
Qingkong brought a box and took out a cat suit and many small tools. Judging from the level of sophistication, it was definitely not something that could be made in a day or two , nor was it disposable.
The Shadow Clan is the strongest assassin race in the world, but they live in seclusion in the underground world and are rarely seen. Now the Sheriff and Dark Night can be said to be severely reduced shadow assassins. Although they can't do assassination work, they are definitely useful for stealing small things.
At this moment, the thieves gang that would alarm the entire imperial capital in the future accepted their first mission.
