"Are there any witnesses nearby?" Xilagui continued to ask.

"It's still under investigation. No witnesses have been found yet." The dwarf deputy deacon replied.

Xilagui squatted down and checked the body.

The situation was basically the same as what the dwarf said, with the fatal wounds being in the chest and throat.

The scar on the throat looked more like someone was about to cut off his head.

The wound was much deeper than a normal cut throat.

I reached out and pried open the corpse's mouth and took a look. The tongue was still there.

The emblem was already in her mouth, so it's normal that it wasn't damaged.

He stood up again and said, "Go find a straw mat and wrap the body."

The members standing by immediately took out the straw mat.

Rolled up the body.

Xilagui put all the corpses and emblems into the space ring.

These must be preserved to prevent the murderer from finding an opportunity to return and destroy the body.

"You continue to investigate. You need to be more careful when it comes to the secret talkers of the association. Ask the shops on both sides. It looks like there were signs of a fight, but you didn't hear any movement at all?" Xilagui said while standing in place.

The dwarf deputy deacon nodded and said, "I have arranged for someone to question the store. I will report the results to you."

"Well, I leave this to you." Xilagui said and walked out of the alley.

He called a carriage and slowly left.

……

The carriage stopped outside the island owner's mansion.

Xilagui got out of the car and knocked on the door of the island owner's mansion.

Soon, Minnie, the bunny-eared maid, opened the door and looked over.

"Butler!" Minnie bowed slightly.

Xi Lagui nodded, "Where's Wu Heng?"

"The master is not here. If you have anything to say, you can tell me and I will pass it on to the master." Minnie said with a smile.

Xilagui hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to see the Skeleton Prophet."

"Please come in!" Minnie opened the door directly and led Xilagui into the residence.

According to Wu Heng, Xilagui can see the Skeleton Prophet at any time.

The two walked across the courtyard.

In the back garden, I saw the Skeleton Prophet sitting on a stone bench.

Minnie stopped and Xilagui stepped forward and said, "A body was found over there by the guards. I need you to help me find out what happened."

As he said this, he waved his hand.

The corpse and the emblem appeared in the open space in front of him.

The Skeleton Prophet walked over.

He squatted on the ground with one hand floating on the corpse, and the other bony hand grabbed Xilagui's arm.

Xilagui's eyes were blank for a moment, and images flashed through her mind.

After a few seconds, his eyes refocused.

"Thank you, I understand."

He put the corpse away again, held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and walked quickly outside.

……

Zombie world.

The pitch-black night covered the earth like thick ink.

The skeleton dog with a horn hanging from its chest ran wildly into the darkness.

Suddenly, a shrill horn noise sounded, and in the distant darkness, the roars of corpses seemed to be boiling.

In the darkness, countless figures surged in like a tide.

Click~!

The switch turns on with a crisp sound.

A powerful flashlight shone through the soul-capturing jade stone, casting a magic circle formed by light onto the street below.

The range is larger and clearer.

Sure enough, the effect is better at night.

Swish swish~!

Arrows fell densely, and large numbers of corpses fell down.

The group of zombies following behind trampled on the bodies of their fallen companions and continued to charge forward.

Then, one after another, the residual souls floated up into the sky in the soul-capturing magic circle.

Granda rushed forward and devoured them one by one quickly.

Xiao Xiao floated to one side, "Aunt Glenda, can we reach level 20 today?"

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "It should be about time. After such a long time, it should have reached the upgrade conditions."

"Aunt Glenda will be even more powerful by then," Tiny said.

"You also work hard. I'm counting on Xiaoxiao to protect me." Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao hugged his shoulders and said, "Please have someone collect a few cartoons for me, and I will protect you in the future."

"You're painting a rosy picture for me, right?"

"What kind of cake? I've never eaten it."

As a few people were chatting casually, more zombies crashed into the skeletons' spear formation like waves.

The corpses fell one after another, and the remaining souls rose into the sky in even greater numbers.

Granda increased the speed of swallowing again.

Constantly shuttling among the residual souls in the sky.

Wu Heng was chatting with the two ghosts, planning future developments, and some interesting and fun things.

Leave the battle to the skeletons, and you don't need their help in devouring the remaining souls.

It's just a way to kill time.

As he was speaking, the system prompt sounded.

[Ghost level increased to level 20, Constitution +2, Agility +3, Intelligence +5, Perception +3, Charisma +2.]

【Unlocked feature: Legendary Heroic Spirit.】

[Unlocked features: Legendary invisibility, Legendary telekinesis control, Legendary possession. ]

[Unlocked ability: Stealing flesh. ]

Listen to the prompts.

Wu Heng suddenly felt happy.

Finally upgraded.

The residual souls have been devoured by Granda for so many days. If it still cannot be upgraded, Wu Heng will wonder if there is any limitation.

Fortunately, it was finally upgraded this time, and all the previous efforts were not in vain.

At this time, Glenda also flew back from a distance.

Outwardly, it is still in the state of a soul, but it looks more solid, without the light and fluttering feeling of a ghost.

"I seem to have upgraded." Glenda floated to his side and spoke.

Wu Heng nodded, "Yes, you have been upgraded. Congratulations."

Glenda's expression was also filled with joy, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't.

Then he said softly: "Thank you, Wu Heng."

"You're so polite." Wu Heng said with a smile, and then looked at Beni on the other side, "Beni, Glenda has been upgraded, you go and devour the remaining soul."

"Good." Penny glanced at Glenda, "Congratulations, Mrs. Glenda."

"Thank you, Bernie." Glenda thanked with a smile.

Benny didn't delay any longer and rushed directly into the sky above the battlefield.

It began to devour the remaining souls in the sky.

Xiao Xiao flew over and asked, "Auntie, how do you feel?"

Glenda smiled and said, "I feel good. I am stronger than before. Xiaoxiao, you should also keep working hard."

Xiao Xiao tilted her head and looked at her, "Can we call the association headquarters?"

Glenda's smile froze, "It doesn't seem possible."

"Then...what has become stronger?"

……

The two ghosts were chatting on the side, and Wu Heng opened Granda's attributes and took a look.

I am also curious about what changes have taken place after level 20.

【Heroic Spirit】

【Level: 20】

[Attributes: Agility 42, Constitution 37, Intelligence 50, Perception 45, Charisma 40.]

[Features: Legendary Heroic Spirit, Legendary Invisibility, Legendary Telekinesis Control, Legendary Possession, Phantom, Soul Binding, Supernatural Phenomenon. ]

[Skills: clairvoyance, telekinesis sword, withering touch, stealing body. ]

[Legendary Hero]: This unit breaks through the shackles and achieves miraculous results. Its soul is cleansed by the power of the dead and darkness, and it can learn to cast corresponding spells.

[Legendary Invisibility]: Your tricks have reached the pinnacle. When you are invisible, it will be difficult for the target to detect your presence.

[Legendary Telekinesis Control]: The use of telekinesis has made a breakthrough, making it easier to use.

[Legendary Possession]: The possession ability reaches the legendary level, and can possess "humanoid" creatures, with the ghost taking control.

[Steal the Flesh]: You can parasitize a dead body. If the parasitism is successful, you will take control of the body and accelerate the decay of the corpse.

(The stolen body will no longer be able to perform necromancy spells such as Speak with the Dead and Bone Tendering.)

When I reached level 20, the name really changed.

From a ghost to a heroic spirit.

The name is quite apt.

In addition to the improvement of attributes, there are a total of four characteristics and one ability.

[Legendary Hero] actually represents the achievement of the ghost reaching level 20.

But the last sentence is still a little special.

As mentioned above, it has the ability to learn and cast corresponding spells.

This made Wu Heng doubt whether Granda could also cast spells.

When you get back, you can let her try it.

If this effect can really be achieved, then a level 20 ghost will really become a mobile turret.

Others cannot hit ghosts, but ghosts can cast spells to bombard enemies.

Ouch~!

What should I do with Xiaoxiao then? Letting her read is the same as killing her.

talk later!

The following three characteristics are [Legendary Invisibility], [Legendary Telekinesis Control], and [Legendary Possession].

It is obvious that the original invisibility, telekinesis and possession have been strengthened.

It just improves the effect.

Then, Wu Heng set his sights on the last skill, [Steal the Body].
