SCP Gacha System In A Cultivation World

Chapter 215: Capturing A Boy/Girl & Ghost Attack!

Ill speak! Ill tell you whatever you want to know... Just stop shaking me... Shang Guan Qing Hong has reached the limit with his new body. 

He couldnt expel any more vomit from his gut and his mental strength has been worn thin by these two. In the state he was in now, even a ghost on the strength of a Wandering Spirit could probably takeover his new body. If he didnt find a way to amend the relationship between himself and these two freakish brats, he was going to lose his hard-earned imperfect body! While he hated this freaky body of his, that didnt mean he wanted to give it away either. 

What are you? Wan Qing questioned carefully. 

An all-powerful immortal reincarnated back into the world of the living for revenge! Shang Guan Qing Hong honestly shared. 

Reincarnator? Hu Tao narrowed his eyes at the brat. 

He already knew one person that has reincarnated before. This made him wonder if it really was this easy to reincarnate? Hu Tao thought the world of the living and dead couldnt be crossed that easily but it seems like it fucking was! If he could find out how to reincarnate too, then maybe he could spend another lifetime fighting till hes the strongest of that era too. 

Shake him some more for lying Hu. Wan ordered. 

Wan Qing knew that reincarnation was impossible. If such a thing was possible, then wouldnt all those powerful old cultivators nearing the end of their life do so? There would be reincarnators everywhere if it was. Because out of all the cultivators in the world, those who have reached their limit because of their age and about to die would do everything they could to get a second chance. Hell, if Wan Qing wasnt satisfied with her accomplishments and life far later on in life, she too would probably consider reincarnating. 

The brat isnt lying. Hu Tao shook the net anyway just for the hell of it. 

Why did you shake me if I honestly answered your question!? Shang Guan Qing Hong wailed. He didnt know how much more of this he could take. 

Why not? Hu Tao shrugged. 

What do you mean she isnt lying? How do you know? Wan's long eyelashes blinked at Hu. 

Because I already know a reincarnator. But the brat isnt telling us everything about himself. So fess up everything. Hu Tao threatened. 

To think the day would come when I Shang Guan Qing Hong am being threatened by a brat like you! A brat that probably has yet to wean off his mothers milk! How unfortunate can I be? Shang Guan Qing Hong sighed. 

To respond to this arrogant comment, Hu Tao smacked the brat on its soft shiny ass. Shang Guan Qing Hong couldnt help but cry out in pain, shock, and disbelief as he was smacked on his bottom by his junior. He wanted to kill this Hu with all of his being! This unruly despicable child had to be an offspring of one of his old enemies!  

Im waiting. Hu Tao gave the kid another slap on the ass. 

Shang Guan Qing Hongs new body couldnt take any more abuse. He began to start crying. Pure clear tears brought from the mental and physical stress placed on his young body. Loud wailing escaped from his mouth without his control as his emotions hit their peak. Shang hated these two. Shang hated that he was reborn mostly because of these two. Shang hated that he was being treated like this when he was much older and more mature than both of them. Shang hated everything! 

Are you sure this is a reincarnated immortal...? Wan wasnt so sure anymore. It wasnt this easy to make an immortal break down in tears, was it? 

Reincarnation isnt perfect. The mind takes time to adjust to their new body. Hu Tao spoke as if he was an expert on the matter. 

It wasnt too farfetched so that he wasnt. He did have the doppelganger of an immortal inside his pocket dimension. Hu Tao also searched through his memories with the help of Blackie. So, he knew a few things here or there about reincarnation and reincarnators. 

I seriously expect an explanation on how you know all this later. Wan told him. 

Yeah, whatever. It's not like its a secret or anything. Hu Tao shrugged. 

Lets go find some ghosts until the girl stops crying. Wan said, slowly reverting back to her original form. 

Hes as harmless as a mouse in this net. Hu Tao brought the net over his shoulder. 

The two members of Heavenly Angels walked out of the destroyed tomb with a strange child alongside them captured in a net weeping softly.  

It looks like my camera doesnt work on ghosts. Runt sighed. 

Thats okay. I can kind of sense when theyre around. Lei Zhi told the young boy. 

How? Runt was curious about how this blind old guy could sense ghosts without seeing them. 

It gets colder. Lei answered with a simple answer. 

But its always cold. Runt didnt get it. 

Maybe you can find them by using your instrument. Lei Zhi suggested. 

How would that work? Runt questioned. 

It's certainly worth a try, dont you think? Lei kindly asked. 

Lei was simply just testing a few things here or there. Ever since they got split up from the others, they couldnt rely on Yings flames to keep the ghosts at bay. Meaning they had to rely on a new method to either sense or keep the ghosts away. Only through touch could Lei Zhi faintly feel the presence of ghosts around him. This wouldnt be too helpful because they just recently found out because of the amulets, ghosts are allowed to physically touch them as well. 

They were ambushed by a powerful spirit that forced them into splitting up. Heavens Angels were still able to communicate with each other by using Jings special message talisman. Lei Zhi and Runt were together, Ying was with Jie, and there has been no response from Bing as of yet. This led to them thinking that the ghost was chasing after Bing. Unfortunately, there was something about this fog that messed with the talisman. Leaving them unable to find each other just by infusing their qi into the talisman and having the others follow it. When they tried, the link between the two was cut off by something. 

I guess it's better than nothing... Runt pulled out the Silent Gods Ocarina and began to blow into it. 

Lei Zhi saw the combination of sound and qi come together as it spread all around them. There was nothing in their surroundings that was spared from the sound. It expanded into the air, underground, and even through Leis own body. Then a violent shout came from behind Runt. 

Give me your body child! I havent seen a body as perfect as yours for hundreds of years! It cried out. 

Lei Zhi used his fishing rod and hooked it into the spirits body before dragging it over to himself. From underneath his new coat, a slimy tentacled arm reached out and wrapped itself around the throat of the now visible ghost. It began applying pressure to the throat as Lei Zhi bent down and placed the amulet on the spirits body. The ghost was sucked into the amulet without resistance and that chill he felt disappeared as well. 

Looks like things turned out better than we thought. Lei smiled. 

Hopefully we dont run into a ghost as strong as the one that attacked us before. Runt stopped blowing into his ocarina. 

Lets keep moving. Ghosts may be scary but usually, in tests like these, it's humans you have to look out for the most. Lei shared some wisdom. 

What do you mean? Runt didnt know why should they be afraid of humans. 

Ghosts just want to take over your body so that they can live again. But are you confident in figuring out what a human wants to do to you? Lei asked. 

If Lei Gang was asked this question before he went with Bing to kill that one guy, then he would probably have a different answer than the one he has now. As of now, he was not confident in knowing what another human would want to do to him inside this creepy place. After witnessing the battle between Bing and that Huan guy, Runt was no longer sure of anything regarding the thoughts and feelings of people. But maybe ghosts were simpler than humans. Runt could deal with simple things. 

No. He answered. 

Thats why if we encounter anyone from the sect, we need to be on guard. We cant just blindly trust anyone. Only those from our group. Lei informed. 

Attack anyone we see, then? Runt figured this was what he was getting at. 

What? No! Why would you think that? Lei was confused about how this boy got to that conclusion. 

What do you mean by be on guard then? How else would you protect yourself if you dont make the first move? Runt questioned. 

Theres nothing wrong with running away. 

Running away? Runts opinion of this old man dropped somewhat. 

Thats right. Violence isnt always the answer. Remember, our goal is to capture ghosts, not get into meaningless battles with our lives on the line. Lei reminded the boy. 

I know that. Runt crossed his arms. He wasnt going to go out of his way to look for trouble. He was only a 3rd stage Qi Gatherer after all. Compared to all the other disciples in the test, he was confident that he was the weakest out of them all.
