Chapter 225: Specter Gate
No matter how strong a psychic's mental power was, it could not affect reality without the help of Specter power.
At this moment, Yan Changshou asked, "Do you know why the position of Chief Captain at headquarters has been vacant? Because they're waiting to see who breaks through to the fifth tier first! Whoever becomes a fifth-tier psychic first will definitely get the Chief Captain position."
He added a few more words, not wanting Fang Xiu to underestimate him, "If anyone is going to be the world's first fifth-tier psychic, it'll definitely be me. The only reason I'm still at fourth-tier is because, fourth-tier is now the limit that this world can accommodate. If I could stay in human form for more than an hour each day, I wouldn't have to use these tricks to get the Chief Captain position; it would be a breeze for me."
Fang Xiu didn't want to hear Yan Changshou bragging anymore, so he quickly asked, "You mentioned releasing pre-prepared Specters and that the Pokers would take advantage of the chaos. Have they already infiltrated headquarters?"
This question made Yan Changshou a little wary. He didn't answer directly and instead said, "That's not something you need to worry about. Just focus on your part. It's time for you to head back to the hotel. If you stay in the interrogation room too long, it'll look suspicious. Also, your double isn't needed anymore; I'll have him revert to his original form. You don't need to worry about being exposed."
Realizing Yan Changshou wouldn't share more, Fang Xiu knew it was time to act. With his blood on the parchment, his life was entirely under Yan Changshou's control. Yan Changshou had also taken his Genesis Mask, so even though there was no immediate danger, Fang Xiu needed to reset the situation.
Fang Xiu stood up slowly. Looking at Yan Changshou calmly, he said, "If you have nothing else to say, you can go ahead and die now."
Yan Changshou seemed taken aback, almost in disbelief. "You're telling me to die?"
Fang Xiu frowned slightly, "Did Specterization make you deaf?"
"Fang Xiu, this joke isn't funny. I don't know if you're losing it or if your Spiritual Energy is acting up, but don't forget, your life is in my hands," Yan Changshou responded coldly.
Fang Xiu shook his head, his tone detached, "Actually, your life has always been in my hands. Come on out."
As he focused his gaze, looking beyond the immediate reality, something incredible happened.
Suddenly, several terrifying Specters appeared out of nowhere. There was one like a lion with human heads, another that looked like a dried-up corpse, and a ghostly shadow figure.
This scene thrilled Fang Xiu. For someone who could absorb Specter powers, Yan Changshou was a goldmine of Specters.
Finally, the grand finale approached.
The Specter Gate began to tremble and twist under some immense force. A terrifying aura filled the area even before the Specter appeared.
Just as Fang Xiu eagerly awaited its emergence, intense pain hit him.
He looked down to see the ghostly Shadow he'd summoned earlier clinging to him.
It had a powerful Specter energy, and as it latched on, Fang Xiu felt himself becoming insubstantial, starting to fade.
He tried to absorb the pain and recover, but it was useless.
After all, he was still just a second-tier psychic, and no matter how special his abilities were, they needed a solid foundation.
So, Fang Xiu began to die slowly.
Yan Changshou was stunned, his eyes nearly popping out. He struggled to keep the Specter Gate open, but in his shock, he accidentally closed it.
He couldn't understand—how could the summoned creature attack its master? Was Fang Xiu being consumed by his own power? But if Fang Xiu could summon Specters from the Other Side, he had to be powerful. Could he really be defeated so easily?
As Fang Xiu's life ebbed away, everything around him faded to darkness, and the fabric of time and space began to shatter.
