Chapter 188 Understanding the Fire-Activated Flintlock Gun
"The shadow of the Ark of the Covenant?"
Jiang Chaosheng murmured the name of the new skill.
He really likes this skill.
Both the Grim Reaper's Scythe and the Fiery Lance are single-target attack methods.
The Shadow of the Ark of the Covenant can summon dark matter, making it a skill capable of large-scale destruction.
He knew that the Ark of the Covenant's greatest power was the ability to summon the Dark Ark of the Covenant.
No matter how powerful the opponent, they will be consumed by the shadow of the Ark of the Covenant.
However... the conditions for using it are a bit too harsh, requiring the sacrifice of one's own body and soul.
This is a suicidal tactic.
This ability is something that people both love and hate.
Jiang Chaosheng lowered his eyes in mid-air.
Zhongshu and Li Xinyuan quickly bowed and lowered their heads.
When Jiang Chaosheng's gaze swept over Xie Ya, a fleeting look of surprise and barely perceptible delight flashed in his eyes.
This crow is still alive?
The evil crow lay prone, its head fixed on the ground, not daring to raise its head.
Its two wings were spread wide open, pressed tightly against the ground.
Jiang Chaosheng found it amusing.
Although the evil crow calls itself its master, it has never truly considered itself its master.
How come someone's personality has changed after dying once?
Jin Meiting endured the pain of her biological level upgrade, kneeling on the ground and prostrating herself respectfully.
Of the other six witches, three have fallen into a coma.
The remaining three witches followed Jin Meiting's example and knelt down in devout worship.
They knew that this was their god, the Lord of Twilight.
Among these witches, one is a familiar face.
The comatose Greedy Witch is none other than Xu Wei from the coffee shop next door.
Jiang Chaosheng's eyes remained unmoved.
To him, Xu Wei was just an insignificant nobody, someone he didn't care about even if she was an acquaintance.
Jiang Chaosheng sensed something, raised his head, and looked at the spot where the Black God had disappeared.
A black stick, scarred by knives and axes, stood silently in the sky.
Jiang Chaosheng reached out towards the black stick.
The black stick was drawn and floated into Jiang Chaosheng's hand.
Jiang Chaosheng, gripping the black stick, said softly:
"Well done."
The witches, kneeling in worship, revealed surprise and excitement in their beautiful eyes.
Even the arrogant witch, who was as cold as an iceberg, had an undisguised smile on her lips.
Did the worshipped god praise you?
This experience...who can understand?!
Jiang Chaosheng lowered his head and looked at Jin Meiting:
"Meiting, what do you want?"
Jin Meiting trembled all over.
Meiting?
This was the first time the owner had ever addressed him in this way.
She kept her head down, crawling, her waist-to-hip ratio was incredibly high.
However, Jiang Chaosheng could only see the back of her head.
After a long while, Jin Meiting closed her eyes and said:
"I have gotten what I wanted."
If someone were to listen closely, they could hear the suppressed sobs in Jin Meiting's voice and see the ground in front of her, wet with tears.
What she desires most is not forbidden things, nor wealth and glory.
This succubus, who is extremely power-hungry, only desires the affirmation of her powerful master.
She didn't want to be a useless person, or a pretty face!
"Well done," that simple phrase is sweeter than anything else.
As expected, the crow was right. As long as I am useful, my master will value me.
He... actually called me Meiting!
In fact, "Well done" was Jiang Chaosheng's way of acknowledging Jin Meiting's abilities through the Black God incident.
Saying the name "Mei Ting" has nothing to do with whether Jin Mei Ting has become stronger.
Jiang Chaosheng is undergoing subtle changes.
He himself didn't even notice this change.
He became more humane.
When did it start to change?
no one knows.
Perhaps it was that lively New Year's Eve dinner.
These members of the Forbidden Society, each with their own distinct personality and who could be described as "partners" from a shonen anime, are quietly healing Jiang Chaosheng's empathy disorder.
Jiang Chaosheng remained silent for a while:
"I'll be home in a bit; I have something to give you."
Jin Meiting stared in astonishment, her mouth agape.
go home?
Is Zero Antique Shop now my home?
......
At the entrance of No. 24 Middle School.
Li Mingyue watched Jiang Chaosheng ride away on the dark clouds, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Both hands were clenched into fists, fingernails digging into palms, and blood dripped down.
New investigator Xiao Zhou gazed at the receding dark clouds in the sky with eyes full of admiration:
"Is this Mr. Twilight?"
That's amazing!
With you here, sir, the Xia Kingdom has nothing to worry about regarding unusual events.
Li Mingyue turned around abruptly and stared intently at Xiao Zhou.
Xiao Zhou was startled by Li Mingyue's gaze and looked around awkwardly.
"Team leader, did I say something wrong?"
Li Mingyue opened her mouth, but said nothing; her lips moved for a long time.
"Take the students to do mental health tests and physical examinations."
Xiao Zhou quickly said:
"Okay, yes!"
He ran away as if fleeing.
Li Mingyue watched Xiao Zhou's retreating figure, the words Xiao Zhou had just spoken echoing in her mind.
What she was trying to say was:
Who protects the Xia Kingdom: Twilight or the Anomaly Management Bureau?!
What will the Anomaly Management Bureau do?
All they can do is shout and issue a bunch of useless orders.
Isn't this just a cheerleading squad?
But she couldn't bring herself to say it.
These words would truly make any investigator of anomalies feel ashamed.
......
South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.
......
South China Sea, Zero Antique Shop.
Jiang Chaosheng walked to the back room and placed the Spear of Longinus on shelf number '0'.
The Ghost Needle and the Spear of Longinus are two forbidden objects.
According to the new rule of Zero Antique Shop No. 6, each time two forbidden items are collected, the secrets of one forbidden item can be deciphered.
Jiang Chaosheng chose the forbidden number 0-10—the flintlock pistol.
Mysterious information flooded into my mind.
[Understand the secrets of the flintlock pistol!]
[The flintlock pistol: It contains a cluster of divine fire from Mount Olympus.]
The divine fire is the most mysterious thing on Mount Olympus.
If Zeus, the king of the gods, had possessed the flintlock lance when the divine fire on Mount Olympus went out, perhaps he would not have perished.
The secret of the flintlock pistol: Divine Fire.
[By infusing spiritual energy into the flintlock pistol, the bullets, imbued with the breath of divine fire, can damage any named target within its range, according to the user's will.]
This target includes, but is not limited to: the dead, physical bodies, viruses, gods, and demons.
The more spiritual energy infused, the stronger the divine fire becomes.
Jiang Chaosheng was taken aback.
Harm any target that has a name?
This is very abstract, and it has a philosophical flavor, somewhat reminiscent of ancient Greek philosophy.
Jiang Chaosheng gripped the flintlock pistol and examined it closely.
The flintlock pistol, like before, was old, worn, and had a musty smell, like an antique that could break down at any moment.
Very strange.
After comprehending the secrets of the Grim Reaper's scythe, its image changed drastically, transforming from a rusty scythe into a gigantic, menacing scythe.
The flintlock pistol appears to have remained largely unchanged.
Jiang Chaosheng examined it carefully again.
There have been some changes.
Unlike before, the decorative patterns on the flintlock pistol now feature flowing crimson patterns, resembling alluring spider lilies.
That makes sense.
The valuable part of this flintlock musket isn't the gun itself, but the divine fire within its barrel.
"Infuse with spiritual energy..."
All living beings possess spiritual power.
Witches are adept at absorbing human spiritual energy and storing it in the succubus markings on their lower abdomens.
However, ordinary beings have very little spiritual power. Only after opening their spiritual apertures can they freely absorb spiritual power, temper their spiritual power, and become extraordinary beings.
Jiang Chaosheng possesses spiritual power, and it is far greater than that of ordinary people.
After all, he had been diligently cultivating the [Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique].
"It damages all named units within its range, even viruses. It's very powerful."
Jiang Chaosheng pursed his lips, a hint of self-deprecation in his expression:
"It's just a pity that my marksmanship isn't very good."
He gripped the flintlock pistol and twirled it in a classic cowboy style:
"If you can't hit the target, no matter how powerful the gun is, it's useless."
Jiang Chaosheng's hand, gripping the flintlock pistol, suddenly paused. He remembered an important piece of information and narrowed his eyes:
"It can be based on the user's intention..."
Jiang Chaosheng walked towards the back of the back hall, arriving at the backyard of the Zero Antique Shop.
There's no one here.
He picked up the flintlock pistol, raised it, and looked at an irregularly shaped stone.
Infuse spiritual energy into the flintlock pistol.
The flintlock pistol underwent changes.
As if it had been recharged, the patterns on the gun gradually turned blood red, and flames even burst from the muzzle!
After a moment of slight surprise at the changes to the flintlock pistol, Jiang Chaosheng casually fired a bullet.
A crimson, bullet-shaped flame shot from the muzzle, instantly shattering the irregular edges of the rock!
Jiang Chaosheng's eyes gradually revealed surprise.
After comprehending the meaning of the flintlock pistol, a very important piece of information came to his mind that he almost didn't notice.
[Within the firing range, any named target can be damaged according to the user's will.]
It can be based on the user's intentions, which is very important!
Just now, Jiang Chaosheng's thought was: to damage the sharp edges of that stone.
If in actual combat, your intention is to "shoot the enemy in the heart," then the flintlock pistol will surely hit the target!
For example, the cowherd's heart.
Because, "the heart of a male prostitute" is a target with a name!
Jiang Chaosheng put away his flintlock pistol, a slow smile curving his lips:
"Looks like someone's suddenly become a sharpshooter."
