Chapter 48: Curse! Resentment!

  "What's 'soul divination'?" Ye Huan had never heard of this term before, and when she asked Dan Dan, Dan Dan was also somewhat perplexed. He hadn't been in contact with divination techniques for the past 120 years, so it might be a new method that had recently come out.

  "Sally, come out!"

  Gao Yi's voice was cold as he gave the order, then he stared intensely into Ye Huan's eyes. "Since I foresaw a devastating flood that nearly destroyed half of the empire thirty years ago, I have not acted rashly again. But today, Ye Huan, you have shown me the abilities of the new generation of prophets on this continent. So I respect you and will let you see my Pen Boy!"

  Dandan hastily explained to Ye Huan beside her.

  Cochineal, to put it simply, is a Ouija board that often appears in horror movies before the disaster. It's just a white paper with two young girls sitting opposite each other, holding hands and sandwiching a pen between them. After going through a series of procedures, the two girls will enter a state of communicating with ghosts, involuntarily writing out the results they want to divine on the paper.

  At least two people are required for this.

  So the prophet of the Pen Fairy, there must be an assistant with a good divination ability by his side. Moreover, the stronger the assistant's strength is, the more accurate the divination result will be. This is the Pen Boy.

  "Brother, you must be more careful!" Dandan said in a worried tone after explaining: "Before the Great Calamity, this thing called Pen Spirit was very eerie. Mental disorder, death, seeing ghosts, these kinds of things often happened, especially with Pen Children, many people would directly use fierce spirits to make children!"

  Splash.

  Splash!

  Deep in the woods, a metallic dragging sound had started to echo, Ye Huan listened and suddenly her breathing quickened, her eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted on the spot, "Curse, what curse?"

  Before the big change, any seasoned horror movie fan would not ignore a classic film, Curse.

  It's that terrifying little boy, emerging from the staircase, window, or other eerie and frightening places with a ghostly gaze, his big eyes gleaming with an evil spirit, the corners of his mouth curled up in a sinister cold smile, and then... death!!!

  At this moment, Ye Huan felt as if she had returned to the feeling of watching this movie.

  At some point, the forest had turned dark, with no sun in the sky, nor moon, nor starlight. Everything on the ground that could emit light seemed to have vanished at this moment, leaving only a few faintly flickering ghost fires hovering in mid-air.

  Even Dan's voice had disappeared, and Gu Yizhen's hand seemed to have vanished as well...

  "Death, or survival?"

  In the dead silence, a gust of cold wind blew past Ye Huan's head, and when he turned around, a pale face was leaning on his shoulder. The empty eyes were streaming with fresh blood, and a cold smile was spreading across his lips, which were also dripping with blood. His nose, his ears, all seven orifices were slowly oozing out fresh blood... Drip, drip, it had already dripped onto Ye Huan's clothes.

  "Good job, Brother Dan!" Ye Huan shouted loudly, barely managing to stand firm!

  "What guts!" Gu Yiwu's voice rang out, "In the previous Prophet Duel, even two Black Robe Prophets were directly scared to death by my Pen Slave, Ye Huan, you can still stand firm now, it's clear that your spiritual strength is extremely powerful!"

  Damn it! I've watched too many horror movies!

  Ye Huan cursed under her breath and took a few steps forward before she could see Pen Tong's entire appearance.

  Actually, this is a very cute little girl, three or four years old, wearing a white dress, with a bit of baby fat on her chin. If it weren't for the eerie atmosphere, she would still be likable by many people. However, this little girl may not have seen sunlight for years, her face is deathly pale, and her skin has an unusual pale color. Moreover, there is actually an iron chain locked around her neck, just like a dog.

  The other end of the chain was tied to Gu Yi's wrist.

  "Are you a ghost?" Ye Huan plucked up the courage to wipe the little girl's face, and indeed, there was fresh blood at the corner of her eye.

  "What's it to you?"

  The little girl hummed unhappily and walked to Gu Yishou's side. It was clear that when Gu Yishou held the lock chain on her neck like a dog, a deep resentment flashed in the little girl's eyes.

  "Mr. Gu, no matter if this child is a ghost or not, how can you...” Ye Huan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, treating a child like a dog and dressing him up in such a terrifying way, did Gu still have any humanity? He, Ye Huan, was shameless and heartless, but even he couldn't stand this.

  "Brother, don't ask anymore, Gu Yizhang won't tell the truth!" Dandan also felt some pity, "The Pen Fairy's ability comes from communicating with ghosts, so they often catch ghosts to help themselves. In my opinion... Alas, this little girl was actually killed by Gu Yizhang, just when her soul was about to ascend to heaven, Gu Yizhang detained her soul and transformed her into a small ghost that helps with divination..."

  Saying that, Dan Dan helplessly sighed, "In the Pen Fairy sect, this is a special spell called the Nourishing Ghost Spell! It's using the vengeful energy of wrongfully killed ghosts to communicate with the spirits of heaven and earth!"

  "Cheers for Brother Dan!" Ye Huan looked at Gu Yi's eyes again, which had become somewhat cold and ruthless. This was unrelated to morality, but rather some of the most basic conscience.

  "Yehuan, this is my pen pal, Sally!"

  Guye's expression seemed to have not noticed Ye Huan's dissatisfaction, accurately speaking, from the moment Sally appeared, he became gloomy and unlike a normal person. "Next, what we are competing in is soul divination, among all things in heaven and earth, the most mysterious and unpredictable is the mother soul! For us prophets, the hardest to predict is also the future of the mother soul!"

  Ye Huan nodded, the mother's soul is the subconscious, things of consciousness, indeed are the most difficult to fathom.

  "And our precognition is divided into three realms: the beginner's, which predicts the future; the profound one, which changes the future; and the strongest precognition, which can create the future!" Gu Yi continued: "From ancient times to the present, there have been only a handful of people who have had the ability to create the future. Even today, even the strongest Su Tianhe is not able to reach this realm. I, Gu Yi, naturally do not have this skill either. So, I won't compete with you in low-level fortune-telling. If we're going to compete, let's compete in changing the future, and specifically, changing the future of the mother soul!"

  "What's the specific rule?" Ye Huan asked with interest.

  Gu Yi Shou once again summoned a shout, and more than a dozen sturdy men pushed a prisoner cart into the forest, inside were two prisoners on the verge of death.

  "These are two death row inmates who colluded to rape and murder over a dozen girls, their crimes deserving of death! Gu Yi pointed at the criminals and said: "Wait a minute, I will poison them to death at the same time. When people die, their souls will also disappear. This is an already destined future. So what we are competing on is... one person per death row inmate. Let their souls live for a while longer after their owners' deaths, changing the law of 'when people die, their souls perish'!"

  Wow!

  "Dawn Dawn couldn't help but exclaim, 'Brother, this valley is indeed extraordinary! Even after death, he can still make the mother's soul exist. Heaven, heaven, even if he can only make the mother's soul live for one more minute, that's a shocking skill on the mainland!'"

  Ye Huan was also stunned, he looked at Gu Yiwu with a weird expression, and then listened to Dan Dan in his mind, unable to help but let out a shocked groan, "This... this... this... is also considered an accomplishment!?"
