On the peak of Wudang Mountain, five invisible and soundless specters quietly appeared.
After they floated to the top of the mountain, they stayed for a short while. After some detailed communication, they flew toward Chaotian Palace.
Of course, specters couldn't speak. They communicated through a very mysterious wave. I'll translate the general meaning for you.
Specter A: "Sisters, I smell the scent of living people."
Specter B: "But there are two annoying swordmaidens guarding there."
Specter A: "It's okay, they can't find us. We just need to rush in, control those fragile human bodies, and make them kill each other. It's not difficult at all."
Specter C: "But we can't come out after entering the human bodies … In this case, we can kill at most a dozen people before we get killed by the rest of the humans. Isn't that certain death?"
Specter A: "But we killed more than a dozen humans!"
Specter C: "But we'll die?
Why are we willing to sacrifice our souls to kill more than a dozen humans?
What good will it do us to kill more than a dozen humans? "
Specter A: "… Although what you said makes sense, I also don't understand why we have to kill more than a dozen humans.
But my body can't help but want to rush over to kill people. Sisters, let's kill … "
…
Just like what Specter A said, the five specters easily passed through the defense line formed by King Yue and Yue Ling outside. They didn't even have to walk through the gate of the Palace of Heaven and directly passed through the wall.
Sure enough, in the Palace of Heaven, countless humans were sitting on the ground and chatting happily. They didn't even notice that the specters had broken in.
Specter A: "Sisters, everyone split up and find your own targets. After controlling their bodies, listen to my command and move together to kill the humans around you!"
The five specters quickly split up and began to find their own targets … It was very particular for specters to find targets to control.
First of all, strong men couldn't be chosen. Their bodies were full of blood essence and Yang energy. It was difficult for specters like specters to control these strong bodies in a short period of time.
In this way, when the other party resisted, they would foam at the mouth, talk slanderously, jump around randomly, and so on. These symptoms were similar to epilepsy, and it was very easy to be discovered by the solid cold.
Moreover, the Yang energy of these strong men would also cause great harm to the specters.
Especially those 28 Daoist priests. They practiced martial arts every day, so their Qi and blood were as strong as a bull. They could not be touched at all.
Secondly, the elderly and children could not be chosen because their bodies were too weak. Perhaps they could be of some use in the beginning of the ambush, but once the humans reacted, they would definitely be hung up and beaten.
In that case, the best choice would be those young human women. Although their physical strength was much worse than that of strong men, it was enough.
"That's her!"
Ghost A very quickly chose such a target. It was a beautiful girl around seventeen or eighteen years old. She was surrounded by four or five hooligans who were trying to please her. It was a tragicomedy of a goddess and a spare tire.
A seventeen or eighteen year old girl's mind was basically empty except for love and love. To Ghost A, there was no difficulty in controlling her. In less than three seconds, the girl's original consciousness was suppressed by Ghost A and trapped in the depths of her mind. Now, Ghost A had completely taken over this body.
"Youruo, look. This is the morning glory I found in the back mountain. I heard from the Military Governor that morning glory is completely extinct outside. This is the last one in the world. I'll give it to you!"
An honest-looking young man raised a morning glory and said to the girl possessed by Ghost A in a flattering manner.
"Stop bullshitting. It's everywhere in the back mountain and it's extinct. How dare you say that?"
Another young man pushed away the honest-looking young man and raised a small mirror fragment in his hand. "Good sister, this is my mother's family heirloom, the Chaotic Sky Mirror. This is one of the few mirrors in our Wudang Mountain. I stole it from my mother and gave it to you. I hope you like it …"
"Sister Youruo, that's not good. Look at me …" The four or five young men surrounded the girl named Youruo who was possessed by Ghost A and tried their best to please her. This gave Ghost A a better idea.
"Sister, control complete …"
"Sister, suppression complete …"
Very soon, the other four specters also sent messages. They had already controlled the targets they had chosen and were ready to attack the humans around them at any time.
"Don't be anxious!"
Ghost A sent a telepathic message to temporarily calm her sisters down. "I have a fun idea. Let me play with it first …"
…
In the first few years of the game's server, the Wudang Peak Instance Dungeon was a huge difficulty. This was because the players had no way to deal with the second last wave of attacks from the spirits.
The time when the spirits entered Skyward Palace changed randomly. The target that they chose to possess also changed randomly.
Moreover, the process of their possession was silent and there was no movement. The players had no way of knowing which survivor was possessed by the spirits.
With the strength of a single player, it was impossible for them to watch over the actions of more than seven hundred people.
When five spirits attacked at the same time, the players could not attend to one thing and lose sight of another. Even if they were lucky enough to block one spirit, they could not control the other four at all.
In the first few years, the first wave of spirits could not be defended against. As long as it came to this wave, there would definitely be survivors who would die under the sneak attack of the spirits. No one could even get an SS rating, let alone an SSS rating.
As time passed, there was finally a talent who specialized in electromagnetic waves who found a way to discover the spirits.
This player specialized in electromagnetic waves and was very interested in the antique communication system of Yanjing City from hundreds of years ago. When he had nothing to do, he would study this communication device.
At some point, he suddenly realized that the communication device was emitting a strong static noise. This was a very unusual phenomenon.
Without the interference of other electromagnetic waves, the communication device would not emit static noise.
However, they were now at the peak of Wudang Mountain, and it was also the end of the world where humans were all holed up. How could the communication device suddenly receive such a strong electromagnetic wave interference?
Just as the player was about to study it carefully, the spirits suddenly began to attack. After more than ten survivors died, the players were able to suppress the spirits one by one.
Then, in a flash of inspiration, he understood all the problems.
Long before the apocalypse, research had shown that spirits really existed. However, they did not exist in the form of a physical body. Instead, they existed in the form of electromagnetic waves.
In a sense, the human body was actually very similar to a robot.
The human brain was the central processing unit. The various commands issued by the human brain were connected through the nervous system in the spine and controlled the movements of all the human organs and muscles in the form of micro-electric currents.
Therefore, some scientists speculated that when the human body died, their souls did not die. The electric currents in the brain would still be active for a considerable period of time before they died completely.
It was like a capacitor. The two ends of the capacitor lost the supply of energy, but there would still be a considerable amount of electronic activity in the middle of the capacitor.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the electrical activity in the brain of a normal dead person would slowly dissipate after a period of time.
However, if the dead person did not die an abnormal death, but had died of torture, beheading, car accident, murder, or had suffered great humiliation before death, then the electrical current in their brain would be very active before death.
Therefore, before they died, their brain electricity was very active, more than a hundred times higher than that of a normal person. After such a person died, the electricity in their brain would be very difficult to disappear. If there was some external stimulation such as thunder and lightning, this person's brain electricity would form a higher level of brain electromagnetic wave, which would detach from the dead person's brain and become a ghost or a ghost in human's eyes.
This brain electromagnetic wave was like a television signal that contained a lot of image information. Once it invaded the brain of another person, the memory of the ghost would suddenly be inserted into the brain of the person, giving the feeling that they had seen a ghost.
In other words, the spirit was actually a very complicated type of strong electromagnetic wave. The communication system that relied on electromagnetic wave to communicate would naturally be disturbed by the electromagnetic wave of the spirit and produce a rustling sound.
Later, the player published his discovery on the forum and even published a simple modification method of the communication device.
His post immediately attracted the interest of many players. After some tests, as expected, after a simple modification of the communication device, it could detect the arrival of the spirit.
Then, some players took a step further and found a way to determine the distance between the spirit and the communication device based on the volume, pitch, frequency, and other details of the sound. This way, the players could take precautions against the spirit in advance, and the number of deaths caused by the spirit wave plummeted.
Later on, based on this discovery, the council developed a Specter Detector, which made it difficult to defend against in battle, and could only be destroyed by the Sword Lady's exorcism abilities. It became less troublesome to deal with.
The first player to publish his discovery was also awarded great merits by the Spirit Detection Device by the Spirit Detection Device. He became one of the few people who relied on their own efforts to leave the commoner and become a citizen.
There was too much to talk about, so we continued to return to Guhan's side.
"It's coming!"
Guhan, who was sitting quietly on the ground, suddenly said. At the same time, the communication device on the ground began to rustle.
After receiving Guhan's order, Shui Han immediately grasped the hilt of his sword tightly and looked nervously at the crowd around him, which didn't seem to have changed.
Guhan closed his eyes and kept listening to the hoarse sound of the communication device, trying to determine the location of the five ghost Yuan Kou.
