Chapter 257 Heredity (63)

After the thunder talisman was formed, Lu Jinzhao actually heard faint thunder. The golden light of the talisman made her feel as if she were not on a platform, but in a movie.

"Thunder Talisman, go—!"

With a shout from Bai Pei, a drop of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and then the lightning talisman shot through the air, turning into a silver lightning bolt that struck another Bai Pei.

It looks quite powerful.

Unfortunately, when the silver light dissipated, what they saw was an unharmed "Bai Pei".

Even Lu Jinzhao, who had been observing all along, noticed that the presence of "Bai Pei" had become even stronger.
It was as if the lightning talisman wasn't a ghost's deadly charm, but rather a power bank.

Bai Pei's expression turned grim, not because the talisman had failed, but because she sensed something extremely ominous:

Her destiny has weakened.

When the lightning talisman was released and struck her, her fate suddenly weakened.

It wasn't caused by the use of supernatural powers, but rather by a "downgrade".

It was as if, with the hit of the lightning talisman, her power was absorbed by the other side.
How can this be? !
For the first time, Bai Pei showed a somewhat panicked expression.

After activating her destiny, her emotions as the protagonist will become more stable. As her destiny gradually improves, she rarely experiences panic anymore. The fact that she feels panic now is enough to show that she is indeed getting weaker!

On the other side, after taking a closer look, Bai Pei was startled.

When did I become so noticeable?

Was the power I lost transferred to it?

how can that be!

Their destiny was the strongest weapon these passengers used to deal with ghosts, but now it's not only ineffective, it's actually providing power to the ghosts.
What a joke!
Doesn't that mean they have absolutely no way to deal with the ghosts on the other side?
That's impossible; there must be some way.
Bai Pei did not hide anything and immediately wrote down his discovery on his phone to inform others.

Now is not the time to keep things to herself; she needs others to brainstorm ideas.

What about the supernatural item? It didn't come from our power, so it can't just be stolen.

You can give it a try.

When Fu Xia took out a supernatural item, the Fu Xia opposite her also raised her hand, but her hand was empty.

Strangely, the supernatural items still had no effect on the other Fu Xia.

I don't feel my destiny weakening, but supernatural items have no effect on it.

In other words, they cannot "eliminate" the figures opposite them on their own, but as long as they do not use their destiny, they will not exacerbate their own weakness.

Let's call them clones for now. These clones, which look exactly like us, are practically tailor-made limiters.

[It's probably more than that. If it's just a limiter, why would it have to be right in front of us, looking exactly like us?]

[Try going around it?]

[Unavoidable.] Fu Xia merely tried to walk into the field, and the "Fu Xia" on the opposite side followed suit.

Whether you go in circles or take a longer route, as long as you head towards the village entrance, you'll eventually get closer. [There's no other way; let's try moving forward.]

In fact, some people had considered sending Lu Jinzhao, the only one without a "clone," to scout ahead, but no one said it out loud. After all, Lu Jinzhao was not their subordinate, so such thoughts remained just that—thoughts.

But no one expected that before they could even get close to the clone on the other side, a new taboo would arrive first.

This time, no one was spared. All the passengers present felt the danger at the same time. The wind chimes around Lu Jinzhao's waist jingled incessantly. A phantom black shadow appeared behind the [Stand], lying on the [Stand]'s back and pressing down on the [Stand], causing the [Stand] to bend over.

Looking at the others, those who reacted faster had already taken out supernatural items.

Without suitable supernatural items, they were bent over as if carrying a heavy burden on their backs, unable to move an inch.

What Lu Jinzhao is concerned about is that strange woman.

Her solution was to take a card out of her pocket and tear it up. After that, her already pale face worsened, as if she had paid some kind of price.

"Oh no." The moment Shen Yi sensed the approaching supernatural attack, she realized something was wrong.

Her destiny is very special, extremely special; it is defined by desire.

She can regulate various "desires." Right now, she has used "possessiveness" on herself, so no ghost can get close to her, and any supernatural attack that lands on her will be automatically rejected by her destiny.

This is a very useful "desire," with an exceptionally strong self-protection ability. It doesn't even require her to use it actively, but because of this!
She cannot control her possessiveness, and once a supernatural attack lands on her, her destiny will be activated!
She clearly sensed that the "ghost" that had just touched her back had disappeared, but in the next instant, her fate suddenly weakened!
Bai Pei is right.

Despite her powerful destiny, she couldn't control her desires well and could only wait for the current desire to subside on its own before she could choose the next one!
Possessiveness is one of the strongest self-protective abilities she has used among the desires she has employed, but it is also the most difficult desire to extinguish!
She began to regret it, wishing she had chosen other desires that she could actively control, such as appetite or the desire to conquer. Although the side effects would be greater, they would be more effective than possessiveness in this situation!

It was too late to back out. She didn't have many supernatural items, but because one of them was exceptionally powerful, she was often reluctant to use it. But now was not the time to be frugal.

Shen Yi pulled out the pendant hanging around her neck, which was a jade pendant.

This jade pendant was taken from the mouth of a ghost at a death platform. Its usage is very simple: just hold it in your mouth.

The moment the jade was put in Shen Yi's mouth, her aura changed drastically, and for a moment, she was no different from a ghost!
Simply violating a taboo was not enough to defeat everyone present; soon, everyone resolved their problems.

可.
What taboos did we break?

Just now, they were clearly not much different from when they were walking before!
When someone tried to take another step forward, the ghostly figure that had disappeared behind them suddenly reappeared!

And as she took another step forward, the weight on her back began to increase rapidly!
[Can't walk!!!]

Every step I take is a violation of taboo.

Ghosts cannot be killed, which means that even if they use supernatural items to counteract the taboo of this step and dispel the ghost behind it, the next step will immediately come back!

At this rate, there's no way we'll make it out alive.

　barley
　　When I made that promise, I thought there was only one plot point left, so I could just write it casually and finish it, right?

　　After writing 10,000 words, I realized, wait a minute, why am I still so far short?!

　　I will continue to update until I finish writing. Well, posting two chapters at this time shows my ambition for this month!

　　I'm getting all ambitious again, please give me your monthly vote! ouo
