Chapter 272 Humans Eat Ghosts, Ghosts Eat Humans
Reading Settings
Julia nodded quickly.
Emma watched Cao Kun busily working with curiosity, and just as she was about to ask something, Julia said, "Don't ask too many questions. It's best if you don't know about this."
Emma, being quick-witted, immediately shut up and continued watching TV.
He kept glancing at Cao Kun out of the corner of his eye.
After making further arrangements, Cao Kun waved his hand, and powerful magic spread out, instantly closing all the doors of the entire house.
Even more amazingly, those windows, which had no curtains drawn, suddenly went dark, blocking out the sunlight and preventing it from shining in.
The room was immediately plunged into darkness, with only the light from the television illuminating a small area.
Cao Kun flicked his fingers, and a candle lit up the room.
However, at this juncture and in this atmosphere, the dim yellow light not only failed to provide a sense of security but also added to the eeriness.
With a flick of his wrist, Cao Kun produced a large black banner. With a shake of his hand, the Myriad Souls Banner began to dance.
"By the banner, all souls shall come swiftly. Only with my protection can they attain divine power. This is my decree."
As Cao Kun finished chanting, a powerful force emanated from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, filling the entire house.
As Cao Kun's cultivation level improved, the power of the Myriad Soul Banner also increased by several levels.
It wasn't just the increasing number of souls he absorbed that mattered; his cultivation level was also a significant factor.
Soon, figures flew out of the darkness and appeared in front of Cao Kun.
More and more figures flew in, and soon there were more than a hundred of them.
In the dim candlelight, their figures appeared blurry and unreal.
As soon as they appeared, the temperature in the living room dropped rapidly, soon to only a few degrees.
Julia and Emma nearly cried out in surprise upon seeing this.
They quickly covered their mouths to keep quiet.
But their bodies were also trembling uncontrollably.
This was partly due to fear, and partly because it was too cold.
Despite the temperature being only a few degrees Celsius, they were only wearing thin jackets; it's no wonder they were cold.
Looking at the figures in front of him, Cao Kun's heart sank.
In the movie, excluding the witch, there were actually only three ghosts in the house.
A maid, a little boy, and the mother of a fat woman.
After being possessed by the witch, the fat woman killed the little boy with her own hands and then committed suicide.
They both became ghosts.
The maid wasn't mentioned much, but she must have served one of the previous families.
However, in the past hundred years, only three people have died in that house, which is clearly abnormal.
Perhaps it can be said that not everyone becomes a ghost after death.
But this witch is no ordinary person, and given that this is a cursed place, the probability of her turning into a ghost is much higher.
In this situation, having only three ghosts over a hundred years is a significant bug.
In the movie, of course, no one would care.
Now that this error has been reflected in reality, it has been automatically corrected, resulting in the hundreds of ghosts in front of Cao Kun.
Looking at the shadowy scene before him, and at their faces—some blank, some numb, some confused, some curious, and some with malice—Cao Kun unleashed his magical power, enveloping them all, and then opened his mouth and inhaled.
Hundreds of figures rapidly shrank and flew into Cao Kun's mouth, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Ding! Killed a G-rank ghost, gained 300 experience points."
"Ding! Killed an F-rank ghost, gained 3000 experience points."
"Ding! Killed an F-rank ghost, gained 1000 experience points."
...
A series of voices echoed in Cao Kun's mind.
"ah!"
At the same time, Julia and Emma could no longer hold back and exclaimed in surprise.
But as soon as he made a sound, he realized what was happening and quickly pressed his hand down hard to cover his mouth, forcing the rest of the sound back into his mouth.
But the fear on their faces was impossible to hide, and their bodies trembled even more violently.
Cannibalism?
Is there anything more terrifying than this?
Cao Kun ignored the two women's exaggerated reaction and continued to shake the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but no more souls arrived.
The witch ghost was not directly sucked in by the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
This ghost is much more powerful than the one in the movie.
Cao Kun waved his hand, withdrawing his magic power. Instantly, sunlight streamed in again, and the room was bright once more.
The candle had long since disappeared.
Cao Kun flipped his hand and put away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, saying, "Everything's alright for now, you can stretch your legs a bit."
The two remained still, and Julia asked, "Master Cao Kun, is that all?"
Cao Kun: "The ordinary ghosts have been dealt with, but the most powerful witch hasn't been found yet; we'll have to wait until tonight."
Julia's face paled: "Were those all ghosts?"
Cao Kun: "Yes."
Julia couldn't help but shudder: "There are so many ghosts in this house?"
Cao Kun: "Over the past hundred years, countless people have died here. It's not surprising that there are so many ghosts."
Emma couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Just now, did you eat all those ghosts?"
Cao Kun's gaze shifted to her, and Emma immediately hid in Julia's arms, not daring to meet Cao Kun's eyes.
However, she poked her little head out again and looked at Cao Kun with some fear.
Cao Kun: "If I don't eat them, they will eat you. Do you want me to eat them, or do you want them to eat you?"
Emma didn't even hesitate: "Then you can eat them."
After she finished speaking, her fear of Cao Kun lessened somewhat.
Julia couldn't help but roll her eyes at Emma, thinking to herself, "Is that the point?"
Isn't the main point that Master Cao Kun can eat ghosts?
How can a human eat a ghost?
This is too bizarre and terrifying.
However, she dared not say this aloud; she was now very afraid of Cao Kun.
Seeing Cao Kun sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, just like in a movie, Julia tugged at Emma, telling her not to move.
The two women watched Cao Kun quietly. Even though they were just ordinary people, they could feel a powerful force surging within him.
Moreover, this power seems to be continuing to increase.
Because they could sense that Cao Kun's aura was growing stronger and stronger.
Julia suddenly remembered a rumor circulating in the industry.
It is said that all the female stars who are close to Cao Kun are getting younger and more beautiful.
Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder, in particular, have not only become more and more beautiful, but they have also both won Oscars.
Viona's career reached new heights, and she became a top-tier actress.
Angelina also went straight to the stomach, touching the threshold of becoming a top-tier actress.
It is said that the reason these two people were able to win the award was because Cao Kun used the mysterious power of an exorcist to secretly perform some rituals and change the final outcome.
Previously, Julia-Radish did not believe this rumor at all, thinking it was too ridiculous.
There's no way that performing a religious ceremony can earn someone an Oscar.
But now, she suddenly began to believe it.
