Chapter 913: Chapter 110 Special Training in Yan City
Spiritualists most feared encountering rule-type spirit ghosts, precisely because these ghosts were impervious to any spiritual power attacks and physical attacks. They could only be eliminated by utilizing rules.
This also meant that even spiritualists, when faced with a rule-type spirit ghost, were as helpless as ordinary people, doomed to die just as they would have.
The appearance of each rule-type spirit ghost meant that many of their colleagues would die.
But now, had all that ended?!
“What’s going on?!”
“Was it your classmate who did it?!”
The military staff member looked at Huang Lin, somewhat surprised, “Are you sure he initiated a conversation with the spirit ghost when you came for help?”
“Yes!”
Huang Lin was also shocked. He hadn’t expected Zhao Yu to be so brave, but he was also uncertain, “I’m not sure if it was him…”
After all, like them, Zhao Yu was only a clerical staff member, and even more so, previously just an ordinary student.
“Come on, you come with me to meet him!”
The military staff member pulled Huang Lin along inside, and soon they encountered Zhao Yu.
“Hello, I am the military staff member, Xu Guangqiu…”
Xu Guangqiu looked at Zhao Yu in surprise, “Was it you who cleared that rule-type spirit ghost?”
“It was me!”
Zhao Yu nodded. He could only obtain the spiritual power key by making contact with the spirit ghost, so he had to eliminate this ghost, or else it would be him who died.
Fortunately, his judgment had been correct, and he had managed to resolve the rule-type spirit ghost.
Not only that, he could now feel, deep in his brain, as if his soul had acquired some special ability.
“Very good, very good, very good!”
Xu Guangqiu said ‘good’ three times, looking pleased. “It seems we’ll have to add another excellent team member!”
“Come on, I’ll take you to register and, by the way, meet the team leader…”
Xu Guangqiu pulled Zhao Yu along with him.
Huang Lin took a few steps, then stopped, feeling that since they were taking Zhao Yu over, there was no need for him to follow.
After thinking it over, he found Liang Bei and Zheng Qianqian, proudly claiming that he and Zhao Yu had teamed up and eliminated a spirit ghost.
Elsewhere, Xu Guangqiu led Zhao Yu to his team leader.
“Good gracious, are we going to have a rule-type spiritualist now?”
The team leader, a middle-aged man, was equally excited and exclaimed, “You wait, I’ll notify the higher-ups right now…”
Zhao Yu was puzzled, it was just solving a spirit ghost, was it worth getting so excited?
Xu Guangqiu, seeming to see Zhao Yu’s confusion, explained, “In our Baichuan City, so far, we don’t have any rule-type spiritualists, you might be the first…”
“Does that make a difference?!”
Zhao Yu was still puzzled; all were spiritualists, so what was special about rule-type spiritualists?
“Of course it makes a difference!”
“You know about rule-type spirit ghosts, immune to spiritual power and physical attacks, there are only two methods to counter them…”
“One method, which we call ‘using human lives to pile up,’ is to continuously try and err, ultimately finding a solution…”
“But that method, per regulations, once a single rule-type spirit ghost causes damage beyond ten spiritualists, we must resort to the second method…”
“That is, deploying second-tier or higher spiritualists…”
“Of course, second-tier or higher spiritualists can’t directly destroy rule-type spirit ghosts either, but they can make the spirit ghosts backfire…”
“The only downside of a rule-type spirit ghost is that it isn’t strong enough. When faced with creatures stronger than them and having rules used against them, they can backfire, leading to serious injury or even death…”
Xu Guangqiu lamented, “I once heard news about a region that, in order to gain a rule-type spiritualist, deliberately delayed reporting, ultimately leading to the death of all ordinary people involved in that mission…”
“The result was that the rule-type spirit ghost evolved, causing an even greater disaster…”
“Thus, the higher-ups later decreed that when encountering a rule-type spirit ghost, after ten spiritualists have been sacrificed, it’s mandatory to report promptly and request the support of higher-level spiritualists in the battle…”
Zhao Yu was confused, “The rule-type spiritualists you’re talking about, what’s different about them compared to ordinary spiritualists?”
He Min, who had explained spiritualists to him before, wasn’t a spiritualist herself and knew limited information, so Zhao Yu didn’t know the difference between the two, and wasn’t aware of what sets them apart from ordinary spiritualists.
“The abilities of rule-type spirit ghosts, you’ve seen them, right?”
“Of course!”
Zhao Yu nodded. If it weren’t for overhearing numerous conversations, just a sudden encounter might have led to his probable death.
Xu Guangqiu said excitedly, “Rule-type spiritualists, as the name implies, can also reach a level like that of rule-type spirit ghosts…”
“Are you saying I can also kill with conversations?” Zhao Yu was taken aback.
“Not kill people, kill spirit ghosts!” Xu Guangqiu corrected.
“Ah right, kill spirit ghosts!” Zhao Yu quickly nodded.
Now Xu Guangqiu nodded in approval, “Exactly, you can also use rules to kill spirit ghosts, though I’m not sure if that includes conversations…”
The spirit ghost was resolved, and the remaining cleanup work was naturally left to the clerical staff.
Zhao Yu followed Xu Guangqiu and other military staff to the base in Baichuan City.
A place built fifty meters underground in the city center.
“Spirit World invasions happen randomly, so we have our headquarters here, partly to detect spirit ghost invasions over a larger area and protect ordinary people more extensively, and partly so that we can reach the scene as quickly as possible…”
