Chapter 67: Chapter 66: This Is a Grave Sin
[Desire Monkey Claw]
[Can cast a memory curse on a target, after use, the monkey claw will self-destruct, and the user will be weak for three days]
[When the cursed individual’s body shows other curses, the effect of the monkey claw will automatically be nullified]
Wu Liang picked up the monkey claw from the package and walked into the house, locking the door tightly, his mind pondering the information about the monkey claw displayed in the Ghost Compendium.
"Another monkey claw? But some details are different, both the side effects and effects are reduced?"
The original side effect of using one’s right hand to replace the monkey claw has become a three-day weakness, and at the same time, this thing seems to be a one-time tool that will self-destruct after use.
But their names are both [Desire Monkey Claw], which raises a big question!
Since the Ghost Compendium appeared in his mind, Wu Liang has never found two Fierce Ghosts with exactly the same name!
Since checking [Supernatural Objects] is also the patchwork done by the Ghost Compendium, the nature must be the same.
This is the first time in history!
"Ha, interesting, the things swallowed by the Ghost Compendium can’t reappear, which means this thing is a brand new monkey claw, but there can’t be two supernatural objects with the same name in the world, so the conclusion is—
"These are man-made mass-produced supernatural objects!"
Sitting on the sofa, Wu Liang’s thoughts were racing.
Even if the conclusion seems absurd to people, he will continue to reason it out.
Wu Liang’s intelligence is not just in his strong logical thinking ability, but also in that he is never bound by so-called "truth"!
But in this era, plagued by the revival of the supernatural, who would want to mass-produce supernatural objects?
Besides, the birth of supernatural objects, like Fierce Ghosts, emerges from nowhere.
How could they be mass-produced?
This technology is simply astonishing!
"Having the technology to mass-produce supernatural objects, this is a great crime!"
Wu Liang squinted at the monkey claw in his hand.
No matter what, having such technology is equivalent to privately possessing nuclear weapons, even if intended for good deeds.
A person without sin may be destroyed for possessing something precious.
Moreover, the person making the monkey claws doesn’t seem to be doing good deeds!
"The crucial question is... why let me know this? Who sent the package?"
Thinking of this, Wu Liang glanced at the oil paper umbrella by the door and the Phone Ghost beside the shoe cabinet.
But the feedback from the two ghosts was that they hadn’t sensed anyone at the door before the knocking began, even the oil paper umbrella right near the door couldn’t sense anything outside during the knocking.
This is strange, even ghosts couldn’t feel the person delivering the package at the door?
Then... is the one outside really a person?
Click—
Before Wu Liang could continue reasoning, the monkey claw in his hand suddenly emitted a mechanical, rigid click, and under his puzzled gaze, it began to bend.
As it bent, the monkey claw also started to turn into ashes on the ground.
"It self-destructs after use! This monkey claw has been used! Who is the target of the modification? Me?"
This time Wu Liang became genuinely serious!
Something had used the monkey claw right under his nose, a feeling of insecurity he hadn’t experienced in years!
Buzz—
His brain’s nerves suddenly began to tremble painfully, Wu Liang immediately felt a buzzing sensation in his head.
It was like being slapped hard, with ringing ears piercing the entire skull.
"Hiss... Damn, did an ear stick pierce my eardrum... ah!"
Wu Liang straightened his legs in pain, leaning back onto the sofa, pressing against the wall.
He felt his memory being slightly modified, like insects crawling and gnawing in his brain with painful agony, the monkey claw’s effect attempting to erase a part of his memory!
Ordinary people or regular Awakened wouldn’t feel any pain, not even realizing their memories had been altered!
But due to the unique protection of Fierce Ghosts around Wu Liang, especially with Brother Nightmare continuously restoring Wu Liang’s distorted memories.
This caused him to clearly sense this intense pain instead!
His nerves were like iron wires being bent repeatedly, a pain that made life worse than death!
"Get out of my memory! Who do you think you are!" Wu Liang’s bloodshot eyes stood fiercely, shouting in anger, his roar echoing in the living room.
Thud—
In an instant of his roar, the Ghost Compendium moved.
Vast and profound like an ancient bell rung from the distant past echoing into the future, deep and heavy yet calming.
In that moment, his turbulent heart became as still as a calm well.
At this time, not even the collapse of Mount Tai would cause him the slightest emotional ripple.
The monkey claw’s curse was completely eradicated even before taking effect!
This wasn’t counteracted using other curses as explained, but the monkey claw curse was directly crushed by a mysterious power, ignoring the laws completely!
Splat—
A stream of ink-black blood flowed from Wu Liang’s seven orifices, yet he casually lowered his head to draw a paper and wiped it clean.
"Yesterday was work, now it’s personal revenge."
He said indifferently, his tone as chilling as arctic winds making people uncomfortable.
Throwing the tissue stained with black blood into the trash bin, he stood up, walking heavily towards the door.
As he stepped out of the house, the air temperature seemed to return to normal as if the ice layer had cracked.
All the Fierce Ghost Minions in the house finally breathed a sigh of relief; they couldn’t tell who the real Fierce Ghost was, Wu Liang or themselves, feeling that even moving a bit could erase them from the world completely.
Boss... his state is quite off right now!
"What are you all dazing for? Someone tried to forcibly erase the boss’s memory of seeing the photo on Chen Lili’s phone yesterday with that broken claw! Can you tolerate such a slap in the face at our doorstep?" The Puppet Ghost came out of the bedroom.
At this moment, it had already transformed into Wu Ming’s appearance.
Pointing to Brother Nightmare’s mask, it said, "Brother Nightmare, you’re the first ghost to follow the boss among us! Don’t you understand him yet?"
Then it scanned the surrounding Fierce Ghost colleagues, passionately roaring: "Even if the boss wants to destroy this city! We have only one choice!"
"Always stand behind him!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire room was filled with a chilling aura, all the Fierce Ghost Minions ready to be summoned by Wu Liang through the Ghost Compendium for a massacre!
At this moment, as Wu Liang approached Chen Lili’s house one step at a time, he was expressionless, while all information in the Ghost Compendium faded away, leaving only two phrases—
[Acts trying to harm the truth]
[This is a great crime]
