Chapter 252: Chapter 252
Guan He's clone was, of course, in the real Reincarnation Graveyard.
Clone No. 1 was the Graveyard that swapped out with Guan He's clone.
The current problem was—
Us??? The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel✦fire.net
The voice that came from his mind, calling itself "us"...
It seemed to be Guan He's voice!
And judging by the tone, it should be Blue Guan He!
But in reality, the one truly transformed was only Red Guan He, who was occupying the body at the time!
And Blue Guan He was still inside this body?!
Previously, Guan He's condition was that Red Guan He and Blue Guan He were fused as a dual-soul fusion.
Strictly speaking, it was still Red Guan He and Blue Guan He as a dual-soul fusion.
Except that Red Guan He had been transformed into a clone by Jiang Ye!
Jiang Ye's consciousness replaced Red Guan He's consciousness.
Therefore, when Jiang Ye said "Guan He clone," strictly speaking, it should be "Red Guan He clone"!
And for him to completely occupy this Guan He body, breaking the "dual-soul fusion" state...
Would he have to kill Blue Guan He again when Blue Guan He was occupying the body?
At that moment, a thousand thoughts flashed through Jiang Ye’s mind.
Finally, he realized—
This Blue Guan He seemed unaware that her Red Guan He had already switched souls.
That was why her use of the word "us" was so natural.
When she asked, "Are you okay?" she was obviously not concerned about Jiang Ye, but was asking if Red Guan He was alright.
So she must also know about Red Guan He's infection with Lightburn.
Moreover, when Red Guan He was about to let Blue Guan He take over the body before, she directly said, "Don’t cause any more accidents" with her voice...
Therefore, Jiang Ye didn’t need to deliberately study how to communicate using soul bodies.
He simply used "Guan He"’s body to imitate Red Guan He's tone and said aloud:
"Just now, did you feel the pain of Lightburn?"
It was Guan He's voice.
This was Jiang Ye’s first time possessing a female clone, and it felt rather subtle...
Sure enough, Blue Guan He's voice soon echoed in his mind:
"When you occupied the body, of course I didn’t feel any pain."
"Although Lightburn is special, I truly didn’t feel it..."
"I don’t know if it’s because I’m light-element or because I wasn’t occupying the body?"
Blue Guan He’s voice was the same as Red Guan He’s.
But her tone was clearly not as strong-willed as Red Guan He’s, like a little sister without an opinion who needed protection.
Yes, just like Blue Longkui.
That was why Jiang Ye distinguished them as Red and Blue.
But Blue Guan He’s reply now made Jiang Ye vaguely realize again—
Who controlled Guan He’s body seemed to be led by Red Guan He.
When Red Guan He wanted to dominate the body, she could do so directly.
But for Blue Guan He to take over the body, Red Guan He had to willingly relinquish it.
Including the relationship between the two souls, Red Guan He seemed to be stronger.
Thinking this way, Jiang Ye felt much more at ease.
At least he didn’t have to worry about the two souls fighting inside the same body like Yang Wenchao and Wan Xin.
He also caught that Blue Guan He meant for him to willingly give up the body so she could also lead for a while.
To see if Blue Guan He could feel the pain of Lightburn when she dominated the body.
However, Jiang Ye wasn’t ready to let Blue Guan He take over the body for now.
He first checked the data panels.
Surprisingly, as Red Guan He, he could view two data panels.
The first one he checked should belong to Red Guan He, the Reincarnation Ghost:
[Immortal Witch Ghost]
[Special Status: Conscious Soul Body]
[Glyph Pattern Ability: Nesting Inner Demons (Level 8)]
The Reincarnation Ghost panel looked very simple.
But its attributes were different from other Reincarnation Ghosts.
This guy actually had zero physical energy, but spirit as high as 1600!
However, this strange attribute perfectly corresponded to the special status of "Conscious Soul Body."
And this "Conscious Soul Body" special status well explained why Jiang Ye was previously "possessed."
It also explained why Guan He had such an odd dual-soul fusion state.
[Special Status: Conscious Soul Body]
[Effect 1: You can refine your physical body into ashes, and as a soul state, achieve immortality. (The premise of immortality is that the ashes remain intact)]
[Effect 2: You can ignore distance and instantly transfer consciousness to any observed living body.]
[If your spirit attribute is 100 times stronger than the living body’s spirit, you can completely annihilate their will, seize their body, and replace their identity;]
[If your spirit attribute is 10 times stronger than the living body’s spirit, you can temporarily suppress their will and control their body.]
[If your spirit attribute is stronger than the living body’s spirit, you can influence their consciousness and induce behavior.]
[If the living body you have occupied dies, you will continue to exist as a conscious soul body. (As long as your ashes remain, you are immortal!)]
This trait was very much like the "Ghost Cultivator" described in xianxia novels.
Ghost Cultivators could freely possess mortals, but their weakness was their ashes.
This Reincarnation Ghost’s "possession" of ordinary players wasn’t like Ghost Cultivators just possessing mortals at will; it depended on the spirit attribute comparison for judgment.
For example, if her spirit attribute was 1600, for players with spirit attributes not exceeding 16, she could directly possess them!
For players with spirit attributes not exceeding 160, she could temporarily possess them!
For players with spirit attributes not exceeding 1600, she could mentally control them and influence their consciousness!
This mental control effect was probably similar to Qu Xing using a pin to stab into a person’s eye to control their mind.
Including not long ago, when the Administrator fought Red Guan He and suddenly "lost focus," it was probably because of Red Guan He’s mental control.
Later, he specifically fused several clones with [Spirit Strengthening], boosting his spirit attribute, finally freeing himself from the dull and chaotic consciousness state.
Also, thanks to this powerful spirit attribute, Qu Xing’s pins were later able to stab into Red Guan He’s eye, briefly controlling her to transform into Huang Bo’s appearance.
To be honest, Red Guan He’s spirit attribute of 1600 was absolutely overwhelming in the Novice Apartment.
Even those Administrators wouldn’t have spirit attributes higher than hers!
But Jiang Ye was cheating.
With clone fusion, especially fusing clones with the targeted [Spirit Strengthening] talent, his spirit attribute could surpass Red Guan He’s!
Otherwise, it would really be hard to kill Red Guan He!
Of course, according to this "Conscious Soul Body" immortal trait,
Jiang Ye suspected that this Red Guan He, like Administrator 4444, feared no means but light!
As long as she kept her ashes safe, she was immortal.
But Lightburn’s characteristics were absurd!
Jiang Ye only transformed one clone infected with Lightburn, but all other clones were infected too...
So Red Guan He was probably the same.
The effect of Lightburn not only caused pain to her soul body but also infected the related ashes.
It should be Lightburn’s special nature that destroyed Red Guan He’s ashes, leading to her true death.
Thinking this way, Jiang Ye immediately had a bad feeling!
Since the clone resurrection effect didn’t clear the Lightburn...
Then the ashes of Red Guan He might still be infected with Lightburn, right?
If so, it wouldn’t take long before the Red Guan He he just transformed into a clone would die from Lightburn again??
That would be ridiculous.
Of course, Jiang Ye was a bit curious—
If he abandoned this Red Guan He clone and let her truly die...
Would the other clones infected with Lightburn be able to recover?
To be honest, the hope didn’t seem very high.
After all, if just "cutting off the arm" could eradicate Lightburn, then Lightburn wouldn’t be so feared by dark-type creatures...
Of course, the idea of "ashes infected by Lightburn" was just his speculation for now.
Jiang Ye’s urgent task was still to find Red Guan He’s ashes.
To check if they really faced the Lightburn threat.
And preferably transfer the ashes to a safer place.
Besides being infected with Lightburn, Jiang Ye was quite satisfied with this Red Guan He clone.
Especially the special status of Conscious Soul Body.
It seemed stronger and more practical than the Administrator’s undetectable dead state!
Mainly, the Administrator’s dead state was purely defensive.
In the dead state, they couldn’t be targeted; when not dead, death would automatically convert to the dead state...
As long as not purified by light, it counted as truly immortal.
This Conscious Soul Body special status, although it had an external "ash" as a fatal weakness,
As long as the ashes were well protected, it was also immortal!
The key was that this state also possessed possession ability!
That gave it an offensive layer beyond just the dead state!
As long as spirit attributes were stacked, it was practically invincible!
After all, this guy’s consciousness body didn’t even need to teleport to possess.
Just one consciousness could operate any observed living body...
This! This was simply ridiculous!
Of course, such an absurd ability was best not used too arrogantly.
Otherwise, if noticed, someone might specifically seek his ashes...
Presumably, Red Guan He was also worried about attention and didn’t abuse this ability.
As the Reincarnation Ghost’s glyph pattern ability, it coincidentally matched this "Conscious Soul Body" special status.
[Nesting Inner Demons] allowed her to build a nest inside a player’s body.
Letting her control the player’s body anytime without annihilating the player’s consciousness.
The dual-soul fusion state of Red Guan He and Blue Guan He was obviously achieved by Red Guan He using [Nesting Inner Demons].
She preserved Blue Guan He’s consciousness and occasionally let Blue Guan He control the body.
But she never directly possessed Blue Guan He.
The reason for not directly possessing was probably related to Blue Guan He being light-element.
Just like light-element cannot awaken glyph pattern abilities because small ghosts die instantly upon invading light-element bodies.
Red Guan He was probably worried that truly possessing Blue Guan He would cause immediate death like a small ghost invading a light-element body.
Of course, there might be other reasons.
Jiang Ye’s current urgent task was to quickly equip Red Guan He with a Life Stone to obtain her specific memories.
However, with an extra soul inside the body, his actions were inevitably somewhat affected.
