"How to start researching this thing...?"
After the question was raised, more than one person nodded.
The most commonly used research method in the magic world is various slices. Slicing monsters into pieces to make medicine, slicing plants with elements into pieces to make props... The ghost is obviously a creature beyond their common sense, and ordinary methods are definitely not easy to use. They can only conduct the simplest observation and research.
Benjamin touched his chin and suddenly thought of telekinesis.
If those two siblings were brought here, they would have a different view on this thing, right
Just like that, the release of the ghost came to an end. These mages decided to let the ghost starve for a few days to see what changes it would have after that, and then conduct research on things like the eating process and the principles of illusion. The ghost is here and cannot escape.
And when the last mage left the laboratory, Benjamin found the two siblings.
"Master Mage, is this...whose soul have you dragged out of the underworld? This is a serious crime against God's will!"
When they first saw the ghost, the two siblings were startled. The girl obviously hadn't completely abandoned her previous beliefs. She came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and said nervously.
"It's all nonsense about divine will." Benjamin asked with interest, "Tell me, how much do you know about this thing?"
Judging from the looks of these two people, it seems that this is not the first time they have seen ghosts...
Hearing this, the two siblings looked at each other, and finally the young man spoke: "Whenever an elder dies, the priests will perform a ritual to keep his soul and bless us descendants. On the island In the ancestral spirit altar, the souls of some dead elders are enshrined. Their appearance is just like... just like the one you have here."
Benjamin was very surprised: "You still create your own ghosts? Aren't you afraid that its roar will make you fall into hallucinations and then eat you all?"
"No way." The young man shook his head and said, "Those are our ancestors, and they will not eat people casually. Moreover, only ordinary people who have not practiced the art of Guo Nian will have hallucinations when they approach the ancestral spirits. We Don’t be afraid.”
Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
This ghost... really has a subtle connection with that overseas sect.
Think about it, practicing mind skills will inevitably cultivate a large group of human beings with extraordinary mental power. Just like the priest at that time, after the death of these people, their souls will definitely not dissipate so easily. It is easy for them to stay in this world and become ghosts or other existences.
From what the young man said, they seemed to be able to command ghosts, which was no simple matter. Even if there are souls left behind by the elders after their death, as time goes by, their clear consciousness will be erased bit by bit, leaving only beast-like instincts.
"Do you have any way to control this ghost?" Thinking about this, Benjamin immediately asked.
"That... is too difficult, we don't know it yet." The young man shook his head, but he seemed to be afraid that Benjamin would be disappointed, so he quickly added, "But we can try to talk to it."
When Benjamin heard this, he showed a curious expression.
"Go and talk about it."
The two siblings nodded and slowly came to the glass cover. Their attitude towards ghosts was obviously different from that of other mages. There was no sense of curiosity or faint fear at all. They reached out and opened the side door on the glass cover without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, the girl closed her eyes and seemed to be composing the words in her mind.
Then, an interesting scene happened.
The ghost that was originally floating around in the glass cover suddenly stopped and was fixed in mid-air as if frozen. The system also said that it had detected some different mental power fluctuations just now.
Benjamin couldn't help but show a playful expression.
If telekinesis casters can control ghosts... there are so many under the abyss, and these two siblings may be in trouble.
After a moment, the girl seemed to stop communicating and opened her eyes. The boy also closed the side door of the glass cover. They turned around and returned to Benjamin.
"This soul... is very scared and confused. It seems that many, many years have passed. It has forgotten who it is, and it is very difficult to communicate."
Benjamin was not interested in the ghost's thoughts. He just asked: "Can you command it?"
The two shook their heads.
"How could it listen to us?" the girl said, "All souls will hate living people. The elders have a secret method that can erase this hatred, but at the same time, the resonance ability of that soul will also be erased."
"The ability to resonate has been erased? What do you mean?"
"It's just that it can't make ordinary people hallucinate, and they can't eat in the same way as before."
After hearing this, Benjamin suddenly felt disappointed.
Tamed ghosts will lose their only weapon, right? In this case, what is the use of taming them? A scary thing floating around
"Then why do you keep so many ghosts in your altar?" he asked.
"I don't know either." The young man replied, "But the elders said that once the tribe is in a critical moment, the ancestral spirits will protect us and defeat all invading enemies."
Benjamin nodded when he heard this.
It seems that there is a special way to use it, but everything is hidden on an overseas island.
"Now... what can you make this ghost do?"
"There's really nothing we can do, it's too weak." The girl shook her head and said, "You should feed it something to eat, otherwise, if it continues like this, it will probably go crazy."
"Go crazy? What will happen?"
"Within a certain period of time, they will possess very terrifying mental power, and can even move objects in reality with just their thoughts, and destroy everything around them crazily. And after becoming crazy, they will dissipate on their own, leaving nothing behind. Leftover."
"All right… "
Benjamin was ashamed. They originally planned to starve the ghost for a while, but fortunately they asked more, otherwise they might have caused trouble.
However, when he thought of the ghost controlling the bird, he felt that this ghost might be different from ordinary ghosts. Being separated from the environment in which they survive for many years, even the most stubborn creature should have some mutations.
Therefore, he recounted what had just happened to the two siblings. After listening to this, the two of them couldn't help but look surprised.
"Is that... is that the process of domesticating ancestral spirits?" The girl said something that Benjamin didn't understand.
"Why is it tamed? Can it be tamed by keeping it in the body of a certain creature?" He asked quickly, "But when it first controlled the bird, it was extremely violent."
