Mysterious Resurrection: I am practicing magic in troubled times

Chapter 194 The Madman
The puppet that had lost its mind did not want to be captured without mercy. Although it had been stepped on firmly, it still did not give up the idea of ​​struggling.

It's just that the doll's supernatural strength is too weak, and its struggling strength is completely unsightly.

"I'm used to seeing those brutal perverts, but I actually think this guy is quite cute."

Zhang Qian shook his head and put away the inexplicable thoughts in his mind.

Keeping the puppet baring its teeth and claws was not an option, so he immediately mobilized part of the true energy and flowed downward into the puppet's body.

Almost instantly, the doll stopped crying and stood motionless as if dead.

Although Qi is unlimited, there is an upper limit to the amount that can be output at the same time.

Originally, Zhang Qian didn't want to waste this share on the doll, but now it doesn't matter.

After all, there is too much supernatural power on the piano, and no amount of energy can be used to penetrate it. If you want to deal with it more, you still need to rely on the supernatural properties of the limbless ghost, so using part of it to suppress the puppet is not a problem at all.

After setting it up, Zhang Qian could handle the piano with less worry.

Otherwise, what if the evil ghost is finally solved, and the puppet ends up running around and giving him away, wouldn't it be in vain?
After dealing with the trivial matters here, Zhang Qian turned his attention to the piano again.

It's just that his actions this time were much bolder than before.

He gave up the wooden stick and closed the gap on the top of the piano with both hands.

Cracks suddenly began to extend from his hands, and they continued to deepen as time went by.

After just a moment, the surrounding wooden boards became fragile.

"Crack-"

With just a slight movement, an entire wooden board was lifted up.

Before he could let go, the cracked board in his hand shattered into pieces of different sizes.

Without the cover of this wooden board, a pit dozens of centimeters wide suddenly appeared on the top of the piano.

The overhead light shone along the hole.

This time, without the obstruction of supernatural power, Zhang Qian easily saw the... ghost inside?
After experiencing many supernatural events with varying degrees of danger and seeing countless ghosts with different appearances, Zhang Qian thought that he was used to ghosts.

But it turns out he was wrong.

At least this musical ghost is definitely the most miserable-looking ghost that Zhang Qian has ever encountered.

It had no legs, and was cut off below the waist, leaving only its upper body lying in the narrow space inside the piano.

The upper body of this remaining body was not only so shriveled that only skin and bones were left, but it was also covered with large and small circular wounds.

As if it had suffered some kind of torture, as far as Zhang Qian could see, there was barely an inch of intact skin from its arms to its back.

The blood inside the body had dried up long ago, but these circular wounds did not heal over time, but instead turned into holes that penetrated the body.

Through the nearly dried flesh, one can even directly reveal the piano under the ghost's body.

The most exaggerated thing was the huge hole in the center of the back. The torso, which was as big as a human head, was hollowed out, and all key organs such as the heart were missing.

That is to say, Li Gui, even ordinary ghost controllers may not be able to survive such injuries.

Zhang Qian couldn't help but clicked his tongue. How much hatred was there. It wasn't enough to imprison the evil ghost in the piano, but he had to use such torture to vent his anger.

"But Li Gui is not conscious. Even if he is tortured like this, I'm afraid it won't be of much use, right?"

And he felt that the ghost masters of the Republic of China would not do such meaningless things, especially the mysterious captain who left the piano behind.This ghost obviously didn't lie here voluntarily. It has many mechanical structures that look very sophisticated.

If it's just to pin down the ghosts, it shouldn't be so troublesome. Maybe these structures have other uses?
But what I should think about now is how to stop the music and stop it from attacking the doll.

After scanning a few times along the hollow at the top, Zhang Qian was a little confused, "There is no instrument-like device. Could it be that the sound was sung by this fierce ghost?"

Don't wait for him to expand his horizons and take a closer look.

Li Gui, who had been lying motionless, suddenly started struggling.

The entire piano shook several times due to this force. The top of the piano, which was already covered with cracks, was completely unable to support it and turned into pieces and fell into the interior of the piano.

Zhang Qian was startled by this change, and almost out of reflex, he picked up the puppet on the ground and protected it in front of him.

After being alert for a moment, there seemed to be no difference except that the rhythm of the music was a bit disordered.

It seemed that Li Gui couldn't break free, but its movements helped Zhang Qian clear the obstructions, saving him a little effort.

"It's none of your business, just go back to sleep."

Zhang Qian casually stuffed the doll back under his feet, and looked at the space inside the piano again.

Without the cover of the piano cover, the inner structure can be seen at a glance.

It's just that this structure is a bit beyond Zhang Qian's expectation, "It's really...a crazy idea."

On a normal piano, the keys are linked to small hammer-like things. By pressing the keys, you control the hammers to hit the strings, and you can play music.

But the keys of the piano on the ghost ship are connected by rusty steel needles.

Dozens of slender steel needles were inserted into Li Gui's body. The buttons were pressed spontaneously, and the steel needles were pierced into Li Gui's body.

Immediately afterwards, Li Gui's body shrank unnaturally, and the round holes of different sizes on his body also changed.

Then, there were different tones in that music.

This kind of design is completely different from what Zhang Qian imagined. According to his idea, even if the ghost sings a violin tune, it is considered "normal".

After all, such weird things have long been commonplace in the supernatural world.

But the equipment on this fierce ghost is a little bit...scientific?
"The idea is very bold. It's not just a simple supernatural fusion, but an artificial transformation of a ghost."

Zhang Qian has never encountered anything like this before. No matter how strong it is, its novel concept is worth collecting.

Pity.

With a sigh, he picked up the stick at his feet.

If possible, he would like to take this thing back and collect it, but under the current situation, he obviously does not have the capital to do so.

"boom!"

The blow with the stick did not hit the devil, but hit the mechanical structures.

Judging from the supernatural powers that protected the piano previously, the musical ghost's supernatural power is very strong, and hitting it with a stick may not have any effect.

On the contrary, these steel needles have been stained with rust due to the erosion of time. Even if they have supernatural powers, they should not be too strong.
