Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Wick

Qiao Sang’s pupils suddenly narrowed.

You should know that essence is a characteristic of living things. The more abundant the essence is, the more energetic and vigorous a person feels.

As long as a person is alive, he has essence, it’s just a matter of prosperity and decline. However, if you want this essence to attract the attention of ghost pets, it’s not enough for the person to be alive.

Instead, the whole body needs to be filled with a lot of essence.

Ghost pets in horror movies like to absorb the essence of young people. I have never seen them specifically looking for the elderly to absorb.

An old man has little essence, and the ghost pets can’t feel it at all.

Pets like ghost lamps like to find lost people to show them the way in exchange for essence. According to big data, the people they help show the way are all young people.

And death is a breath of lifelessness.

The most dead places are funeral homes, morgues and cemeteries.

When a person has dead air, it means that his life is about to come to an end.

The death energy that can attract ghost pets must be very strong. If it is felt on a living person, it basically means that the person will die within three days.

It stands to reason that the spirit and death energy that can be felt by ghost pets should be beyond the normal energy range.

But the little treasure-hunting ghost felt both on the old lady.

This is not logical!

Qiao Sang thought to herself that all abnormal phenomena were caused by extraordinary creatures. Could it be related to the lost ghost-absorbing lamp?

Qiao Sang’s mind was open for a while.

She tried to connect all the things. The old lady was about to die, but her family came on the same day, and then the ghost-absorbing lamp disappeared and the old lady came back to life.

The sequence of events before and after was connected together…

Qiao Sang unconsciously held her chin with her right hand and began to have a conspiracy theory.

Could it be that the old lady’s family knew some of the abilities of the ghost-absorbing lamp, and then forced the ghost-absorbing lamp to use it so that the old lady’s life could be extended.

But the price of doing so is death, so the ghost-absorbing lamp disappeared and the old lady was still stupidly issuing tasks to find the ghost-absorbing lamp.

No…

Qiao Sang quickly denied her guess again.

If the Ghost-Sucking Lantern died, the old lady who was its beastmaster would definitely know it first…

But what if the Ghost-Sucking Lantern saved the old lady and didn’t die?

Qiao Sang took out her mobile phone and searched.

[What ability does the Ghost-Sucking Lantern have to bring dying people back to life?]

Soon the webpage gave an answer.

[Sorry, no webpage related to “What ability does the Ghost-Sucking Lantern have to bring dying people back to life” was found]

Qiao Sang: “…”

It seems that no one has asked this question…

She didn’t give up, and posted a post about this question on the forum.

Just over ten seconds after it was posted, there were several replies below.

[I don’t know how the Ghost-Sucking Lantern can bring dying people back to life, but I do know how to make dying people die faster. Do you want to hear it? ]

[Why did I see this question? ]

[The author of the post, your thinking is not right]

[Please! This is a ghost-type pet, you think it is a divine pet with god-level healing skills! ]

[I have to explain this to the original poster. The ghost-absorbing lamp absorbs essence, not sends it.]

Qiao Sang looked at the reply at the bottom and fell into deep thought.

Yes, the ghost-absorbing lamp likes essence the most. It must have stored some in its body. If it could send this essence to a dying person…

Qiao Sang exited the forum, quickly looked through the recent call records, and found the number he wanted to call.

Of course, it is more reliable to ask a knowledgeable person about this kind of question that the public will not discuss.

The phone beeped twice and then it was connected.

“Hello, what’s the matter?” A steady voice came from the speaker.

“Vice Principal, I want to ask if the ghost-absorbing lamp can send essence to people?” Qiao Sang said straight to the point.

Liu Yao put down the documents in his hand. Qiao Sang has contacted him frequently recently. He didn’t even need to check the caller ID. He knew it was her as soon as he heard the voice.

But he didn’t expect that she would ask such a question right after calling this time.

Although Qiao Sang’s academic performance is not very good, the questions he likes to explore are far beyond the level of high school students.

After a few seconds of silence, Liu Yao replied, “No, the ghost-absorbing lamp absorbs essence through the wick in its body. If the absorbed essence is released, it will only spread out, and will not enter the human body in some way.”

“The structure of the human body is there, and it cannot absorb these energies like ghost-type pets.”

Qiao Sang frowned slightly. Did he guess wrong?

“Then can the wick of the ghost-absorbing lamp be replaced in the human body?”

Since the wick of the ghost-absorbing lamp is the key to absorbing essence, can it be replaced in the human body?

Liu Yao’s face was solemn. He didn’t expect Qiao Sang to ask this question.

To absorb the wick in the ghost lamp into the human body is equivalent to removing the most important organ of the pet.

Several centuries ago, some researchers had done such a crazy experiment in order to obtain certain abilities of pets for themselves. Later, they were strictly prohibited by the alliance.

I didn’t expect Qiao Sang to think of such a dark problem at such a young age.

He felt that it was necessary to correct Qiao Sang’s thoughts. With her genius, her future is definitely limitless. If her thoughts are distorted, it will cause disaster.

Liu Yao said seriously, “Of course not. A ghost-absorbing lamp without a wick is like a person without a heart, and the human body cannot withstand this kind of energy. If you do this, both the ghost-absorbing lamp and the person whose wick is moved into it will perish.”

Qiao Sang pondered. If this is the case, then all his previous inferences are wrong.

But what happened to the old lady?

Liu Yao didn’t hear Qiao Sang speak, and asked worriedly, “Where are you now? Did you see something or hear someone say something? Why do you suddenly ask this question?”

Qiao Sang sighed and said, “I’m doing a mission outside now. Today we’re going to the Beast Taming Center…”

She spent two minutes explaining the cause and effect of the matter, and then found that there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

Qiao Sang put the phone in front of her and saw that it was still connected.

“Vice Principal?” Qiao Sang put the phone to her ear and shouted uncertainly.

“… I’m here. The signal was bad just now.”

Liu Yao was a little embarrassed. Others were working hard on their mission, but he actually speculated that she had dangerous thoughts…

“In fact, it’s not that the wick of the ghost-sucking lamp can’t stay in the human body for a period of time.” Liu Yao coughed dryly and said, “It’s just that the time it stays there can’t be too long, otherwise the ghost-sucking lamp will die, and the wick can only be taken out voluntarily by the ghost-sucking lamp.”

“Someone once studied it and found that no matter whether it is scanned with an instrument or dissected after the ghost-sucking lamp dies, its wick cannot be found.”
