Chapter 153 First Herding
East District, late at night.
"Ahhhhh!"
A piercing scream suddenly rang out from the depths of the street, the pain of the person who made the sound so real that it seemed to penetrate the eardrums and permeate the brain.
The surroundings were quiet. The nearby residents must have heard the noise, but no one came out to see what was happening. Even the homeless people who had been lying around sheltering from the wind secretly got up and ran away.
In the East District, curious people often die quickly.
The crimson moonlight gently shone down, illuminating the fallen extraordinary being. A terrible curse descended upon him; invisible blades pierced his chest, creating a horrific wound so deep that his ribs and internal organs were exposed.
Even now, the wound continues to corrode and spread!
Not only were there physical injuries, but his mind also suffered a tremendous shock. Mad words filled his mind, tormenting his consciousness. The voices echoed in his head, distorted, obsessive, and seemingly never-ending. The originally distorted and chaotic sounds were slowly becoming clearer.
He's almost able to understand language!
The extraordinary individual screamed and struggled, his survival instinct forcing him to maintain his chaotic consciousness. He pressed his fingers to the wound and smeared them on his shoulder.
brush!
The injury that was originally on the chest was moved to the arm by the fingers!
Although his arm was immediately broken and corroded by the curse, his physical condition improved considerably. He struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with terror.
Too dangerous!
This filthy and insane feeling, there's no mistake, it's the messenger of the Aurora Society!
Why would an ordinary gang have connections with the Aurora?
"May the Lord's grace always be with me, and may His glory bathe and anoint me..."
The words echoing in his mind finally became clear and audible, each one striking heavily against his will. He struggled to drag his heavy body toward the alley entrance.
This matter must be reported to His Excellency the Ambassador...
"He restores my soul and guides me to salvation for his name's sake..."
The voices amplified, overlapped, and profoundly affected his mind... No, no!
It wasn't that the voice got louder; it was that someone was reciting prayers in sync outside his head!
In despair, he saw Lu Ze's handsome yet eerie figure appear at the alley entrance. Accompanied by his soft chanting, the filthy and decadent voice penetrated his body and acted directly on his mind.
"Praise be to the glory of the Lord, you should be the Lamb."
Lu Ze said.
As he uttered these prayers, there was no piety on his face. On the contrary, he appeared extremely disgusted, his fingers contemptuously tracing patterns on his chest, tapping four times to form an inverted cross.
Opposite him, the body of the unknown extraordinary being had already collapsed.
Curses and filthy words acted simultaneously within and outside his body, pushing both his mind and body to their limits. With a crash, his flesh shattered, spilling onto the ground to form a pool of mud, which, under the crimson moonlight, resembled a magnificent, blooming crimson rose.
"Praise be to the Lord! Praise be to the Lord!"
Countless mouths sprouted from that fleshy rose, singing and praising it.
Lu Ze stepped forward slowly.
Ignoring the annoying praise, he opened his palm toward the corpse—if that thing could still be called a corpse.
"grazing!"
His once azure eyes turned bloodshot, as if they were filled with blood.
"Singing—"
A bone-chilling wind emanated from his hand and blew towards the crimson rose. The wind, cold as if freezing to the marrow, carried an extreme thirst and swirled above the corpse, creating a powerful suction.
Something transparent was slowly being drawn out of the house.
It was a transparent figure, and from its outline, one could barely make out a resemblance to the original body. The transparent figure's expression was distorted.
His mouth gaped open, as if he were experiencing immense pain. He tried his best to resist Lu Ze's pull, but he was still unable to resist being pulled away.
Specks of dark green light emanated from the flesh and blood, swirling up and merging into the transparent figure.
"Ahhhhh!"
Finally, the soul of this unknown extraordinary being was completely pulled out of his body, carrying his extraordinary characteristics, and placed into Lu Ze's palm.
Lamb obtained, success!
Lu Ze looked at the swirling soul in his palm. The almost transparent soul churned, occasionally revealing a face filled with pain. If he wanted, he could take it into his body at any time and herd it away.
But before that, he wanted to get some information out of this guy.
Slightly clench your soul, and an invisible force transforms into a long whip that lashes down fiercely, like a lashing whip on a lamb.
"Ahhhhh!"
The pain immediately made the soul scream.
Who's behind you?
Lu Ze asked.
"Beckran Jean Madan!"
The face on the spirit's head showed a pained expression. "Intis, the ambassador to Backlund! We are his intelligence agents!"
The spiritual connection with the lamb confirmed to Luze that the other party was not lying.
"What manuscripts are you tracking?"
"It's Hermoshuain's manuscript, containing the design scheme for the third-generation difference engine!"
The other party responded very cooperatively.
"And who is the side you are fighting against?"
"MI9, the official intelligence organization of Ruen... Spare me! Stop!"
Thank you for your cooperation.
Lu Ze nodded, then clenched his fist and swallowed the other man into his body amidst his screams.
It was a strange experience. Lu Ze could feel the other person's soul flowing down his arm into his body, eventually settling into an empty space within him. A shepherd can shepherd a total of seven souls. Including the "arsonist" who had already been shepherded, and the soul that couldn't be used, he had four empty spaces left in his body to choose from.
After the unknown soul was placed in the empty space, the connection between the two souls became even stronger. Luze could sense his characteristics and the abilities that those characteristics brought.
It turns out that this extraordinary being is the "Faceless Man" who occupies the sixth position in the next player's sequence.
The Faceless Man's greatest ability is his ability to change his appearance at will, easily imitating anyone he has ever seen, and even mimicking their voice. While the "Rose Bishop" can also change his appearance, it mainly controls his flesh and blood; it would be extremely difficult for him to completely imitate the facial features like the "Faceless Man."
In addition, the "Faceless Man" also has a variety of abilities such as "divination", "air bullets", "fire control", "paper doll substitutes", and "damage transfer". However, he cannot use all of these abilities. He can only choose three, and Lu Ze must make a choice immediately. Once the soul is fixed in his body, he cannot choose any more.
Which one to choose?
Lu Ze began to think.
"Appearance modification" is definitely a must-choose option, but what else?
