I am the one running the game

Chapter 703 Modern Fortune Teller, the Power from Fate
Lu Xingshi did not walk far, but followed the group of people. He also noticed some strange feelings in the building that had just been topped out.

"It's quite interesting. It's like a combination of demons, obsessions, and negative energy. If I have to say it, it's a ghost?" Lu Xingshi wondered if this thing could be eaten?
"It is most likely the scar left after the world dealt with the alien demons and the alien demon world."

"As for extraordinary abilities, the dirty stuff inside does exist, but this guy doesn't seem to have any extraordinary abilities." Lu Xingshi looked at the old man in Tang Dynasty clothes. The other party was indeed ordinary.

There was no energy in his body, and although there were signs of training on his body, he was not as good as a warrior.

In terms of physical condition, he is indeed in good condition. Even at his age, he is better than the middle-aged boss at the construction site who is drained of energy by alcohol and sex.

But no matter how strong it is, it is still within the scope of human beings, even within the scope of the elderly, and is not that scary.

So Lu Xingshi didn't understand where the other party got the courage to come and get rid of this dirty thing.

"Having said that, the energy flow of this dirty thing seems to be very inert and not overly active." Lu Xingshi muttered.

Then I saw the old man in Tang shirt starting to perform some kind of ritual.

At this point, Lu Xingshi almost thought it was a liar, but soon, something mysterious emerged from the other party.

"This thing looks familiar, maybe it's destiny?"

"No, it's not as good as destiny. Instead, it's something similar to a lower level thing, and it's a personal version."

Destiny itself has a sense of an inevitable trend, while the other party is more like a wave in the rivers of the world. However, it is through this wave that a certain extraordinary system is formed.

The mysterious object transformed into a gorgeous tiger and let out an invisible roar.

The reason why it is invisible is that ordinary people cannot hear it, but Lu Xingshi heard the deafening tiger roar.

At the same time, the dirty thing in the building seemed to be awakened, and its originally inert state quickly became active.

Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes, then quietly found a hidden and safe place to watch again.

Looking at this scene, you don’t need to think to know that a fight is about to begin.

A strange crying sound was heard.

"Dad, where are you? I'm afraid..."

The gloomy voice exploded in everyone's mind. Lu Xingshi also heard it, but it didn't have much impact on him.

On the contrary, the old man Tang Shan was in a trance for a moment, but with the tiger by his side, he recovered immediately.

The construction site boss and employees who came with them had fear in their eyes and their bodies were shaking.

They saw the dirty thing.

A young man who was twisted like a spider and didn't look very old climbed down from the top of the building at an extremely fast speed.

The tiger roared once more, and then pounced towards the spider boy.

The spider boy looked very thin at first glance, but once the two sides fought, he easily tore the tiger apart.

"Puff..." After the tiger was torn apart, the old man in Tangshan spat out a mouthful of blood. Then his eyes went dark and he said decisively: "Go, go quickly, this thing is too fierce, it is far beyond my ability to deal with."

The defeat was severe in one encounter.

When everyone saw this, they naturally ran away, not caring about the old man in Tang clothes at all.

As for the old man Tang Shan, he also wanted to run away, but the blood he spit out just now had seriously damaged his vitality, so he had no energy left to escape.

In just the blink of an eye, the spider boy climbed down the stairs and pounced on the old man in Tangshan.

The half-rotten face split open, forming a big mouth, and bit towards the old man Tangshan's head.

At this time, the old man Tang Shan had already closed his eyes and was waiting for death. He could not resist such a fierce beast at all.

However, the next moment, the spider boy's face exploded.

"If you didn't run, I would have thought you were preparing to fight back, but I didn't expect you were just waiting to die." Came the voice of Lu Xingshi.

He helped by hitting the spider boy with a stone that was imbued with magical power, thus saving the life of the old man Tang Shan.

Cursed power is the energy derived from the body of the Great Sage Lu Xingshi. Because its source is born from the curse, Lu Xingshi calls it cursed power. Of course, it is not wrong to call it cursed power, but it sounds weird, a bit like a physics term.

Of course, the power of the curse is indeed not as strong as the resistance. If Lu Xingshi could control the resistance, he would have started killing indiscriminately without saying anything more.

"You...it seems that I was right. You are indeed extraordinary, little brother."

“He has actually reached the realm of a great destiny master. He has achieved so much at such a young age. His future is limitless.” The old man Tang Shan said with a wry smile.

Lu Xingshi's mind was moved. Great Master of Destiny? This should be the title of the extraordinary system in this era.

He did not inquire further, for no other reason than that the spider boy's head began to recover after being shot in the head.

But the recovery is slow.

"Please help this ghost to be reborn immediately, so that he won't continue to do evil." The old man in Tangshan saw that Lu Xingshi was actually observing the spider boy, and he quickly reminded him. Lu Xingshi nodded when he heard this: "Don't worry, it won't be a big deal."

As he spoke, Lu Xingshi stretched out his hand, and the spell power transformed into a huge Kun that covered a river of starlight. The big Kun opened its mouth and swallowed it up.

It went into my stomach without even chewing.

This is the ability that Lu Xingshi gained after fusing with the spirit instrument Yunhe Kun. Of course, it is not called Yunhe Kun now, but Xinghai Kun.

The spiritual treasures that remained on him previously advanced and strengthened Yunhe Kun, allowing it to advance.

The Yunhe Pearl evolved to the point where it was called the Xinghe Pearl, so after the fusion, it naturally led to the evolution of the spirit of the weapon and turned it into the Xinghe Kun.

Later, after being integrated into the body of the Great Sage, the spirit Galaxy Kun became the source of the cursed power and gave it the ability to devour.

There is nothing in the world that it does not swallow.

After being swallowed, it can be transformed into nutrients and fed back to the body of the Great Sage, thereby enhancing Lu Xingshi's strength.

Besides, it’s a curse.

If Lu Xingshi invades the enemy's body with cursed power, it will form a curse.

The cursed person will be tortured by hunger every minute and every second. It will be bearable at first, but the hunger will gradually increase. At the same time, the curse will absorb all the strength of the cursed person, whether it is physical, mental or soul.

Next, the cursed person will eat frantically due to hunger, but his body will continue to lose weight and he may even develop mental problems.

If the curse is not lifted in time, there are two ways he will die.

One is that one loses his mind due to hunger and eats crazily and dies of overeating, and the other is naturally that one is cursed and devoured and becomes a worthless mummy.

Of course, this curse is contagious and will break out after death. If people around are infected and invade, the result will be a cycle.

Lu Xingshi called this curse the starving ghost.

"This..." The old man in Tangshan looked at Lu Xingshi's behavior with an expression of disbelief.

He thought Lu Xingshi would solve the problem quickly, but he didn't expect Lu Xingshi to solve it so quickly.

"This kind of destiny is truly extraordinary." The old man in Tangshan couldn't help but sigh that the new generation pushes the old generation forward, and then he also guessed in his heart about Lu Xingshi's origins.

"No, no, I'm just lucky." Lu Xingshi said modestly and went over to help the other person up.

"I'm old now. When I was young, I could at least survive three or five moves from this evil ghost."

"Now I can't withstand even a single blow."

"But don't worry, little brother. This time the reward is eighty percent for you and two for me. You will definitely get something." The old man in Tangshan said and introduced himself.

The other party's name is Qi Han, and he is a fortune teller.

Afterwards, Lu Xingshi made some indirect inquiries and learned about the situation of this extraordinary system.

A fortune teller is a special being who uses his own destiny to fight. There are apprentice fortune tellers who cannot show their destiny, and formal fortune tellers like Qi Han who need to rely on short rituals to show their destiny. This type of people is the largest in number and are representatives of the fortune teller group.

The last one is the great fortune teller who can use the fate freely and can display and control the fate at will.

That's why Lu Xingshi had previously added magical power to the stone, which made Qi Han think that Lu Xingshi was a great fortune teller.

The formal fortune teller is actually the upper limit for most fortune tellers. To go above that, it requires not only hard work and luck, but also high enough talent.

Fortune tellers are a mysterious group in this modern city. The general public does not know about them unless they encounter dirty things like fortune ghosts. However, there are not so many fortune ghosts.

On the contrary, fortune tellers, because they have stimulated the fate, are likely to get into trouble with the fate ghosts.

As for the origin of the fate ghost, it is a monster that brings disaster to the world after a person dies, combined with the right time, place and people.

The right time means the right time to die, the right place means the right location after death, and the right people means having enough obsession.

There are not many fate ghosts, but they are hard to come by for ordinary people. Unless it is like this time, when you build a building on someone else's grave and there are a large number of people active at the same time, something bad will happen.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, if a ghost passes by occasionally, it will not kill anyone.

The reason why fortune tellers have not become mainstream, or even developed into a cultivation civilization similar to fortune tellers, is mainly because not only can they not gain immortality, but their fate is also extremely limited.

When dealing with fate ghosts, Fate can kill them directly, but if it is used against people, the method is like a curse, which takes time to take effect, and there will be corresponding abnormalities during this period.

More importantly, you can't gain enough strength. At most, you can only strengthen your body. You can't move mountains or fill the sea, and you're not as powerful as a professional.

This leads to the fact that fortune tellers are actually a group of ordinary people with special abilities.

Fortunately, the threshold to become a fortune teller is not as high as that of the ascetics in the world of immortals and heroes. At least you can become one if you find the right way.

As for the upper limit, that is another matter.
