Chapter 24 24. Russell’s Weird Talent
A duck ghost walked across the podium, followed by a large group of obedient little duck ghosts, swaying from side to side and making quacking sounds. It can be seen that the duck family died neatly and happily.
The ghost of a trilobite possesses the desk.
A large group of salmon ghosts are returning to the ceiling of the classroom.
Just as Russell wanted to take a closer look at the scene of the salmon returning, a giant squid ghost emerged from the ceiling, spitting spiritual ink and blocking Russell's view.
It was equally lively outside the window, with an Archaeopteryx ghost spinning around on the playground, surrounded by another mammoth ghost on the playground.
In the clearing next to the grove, a Tyrannosaurus rex ghost was fighting with a Triceratops ghost. It seemed that the winner would be determined soon.
Russell also noticed that at a certain location on the edge of the playground, there were a large number of ghosts of chickens, ducks, fish, cows, sheep, and mice wandering around. Many of them had a trace of black energy in their bodies.
"Strange, these ghosts have a trace of resentment in their bodies. If this trace of resentment is amplified, there is a very small probability of transforming into a resentful spirit. According to the knowledge on the scroll, this kind of black energy usually appears after graves are dug up and corpses are quartered. .
"Could it be that these are ghosts who were dismembered after death?
"Oh, yes, that's the direction of the cafeteria!" Did
other students see the same thing as me?
Soon, after Russell came back to his senses, he realized that the other students didn't seem to see anything strange.
"My spiritual vision has been successfully tuned. Now I can only see ghosts who died after the 20th century."
"Me too."
Is there something wrong with my spiritual vision only?
How is this going?
I need to ask Professor Black Amber after class... Russell muttered in his mind.
Over the next few hours, Professor Black Amber began to teach the students the techniques of communication and exorcism.
While listening to the lecture, Russell covered his slightly swollen head, sorting out the knowledge of psychics in his mind, and feeling the extraordinary abilities he had gained.
Ordinary ghosts lack thoughts and emotions, cannot see with the naked eye, and cannot interfere with physical reality.
Only when transformed into undead creatures such as ghosts, resentful spirits, and earthbound spirits, or if a psychic drives the ghost and infuses his spiritual energy into the spirit body, will the ghost gain the ability to think, be seen by the naked eye, and be able to determine affect material reality.
First-year students in the Department of Necromancer and Life, also known as psychics, can learn and master a variety of extraordinary abilities based on psychic techniques. In addition to psychic vision, there are roughly the following types - the first ability is to
drive spirit body.
Psychics can summon and control ghosts or other natural spirits to move objects and create supernatural phenomena.
When driving a spirit, you can also share the spirit's vision or other senses, using the ghost as a scout for reconnaissance.
The second ability is possession.
After summoning the soul of the deceased to possess him, the psychic can temporarily gain one or two of the most outstanding abilities or knowledge of the deceased during his lifetime.
For example, after summoning the soul of a swimming champion, swimming skills will be improved; after summoning the soul of a soldier, shooting and fighting skills will be slightly improved.
Of course, the expertise retained by the ghost will be significantly weaker than the deceased's level in life. Not all ghosts will retain their abilities in life, it has to do with luck.
The third ability is the contracted spirit body.
For psychics, in addition to temporarily controlling the ownerless spirits around them, they can also sign contracts with rare spirits that have supernatural powers.
The extraordinary spirits in the contract have different abilities, so each psychic may have different abilities.
Contracted spirits are what the academy calls them. They are called differently in different parts of the world based on culture and folk traditions. The popular evil magic "raising little ghosts" in East and Southeast Asia, the Gumantong in Thailand, the Chuma Fairy in Northeast China, and the spirits inherited by primitive shamans are all contracted spirits, but the specific contract content is different.
Finally, psychics can also learn some soul-related spells.
Unfortunately, even if Russell absorbed the knowledge scroll, he could not directly obtain the above-mentioned extraordinary abilities. He only had a rough impression. It also requires repeated study and training before you can truly master it!

after class.
in the corridor.
"Kid, you mean that you saw the ghosts of many animals. Rabbits, ducks, mice, cods, eels, Tyrannosaurus rex, Brontosaurus, Archaeopteryx, trilobites and the like?" Professor Black Amber asked Russell
. What I saw was very surprising.
"That's right, Professor." Russell said, "I plan to find time to borrow a microscope and see if I can see the ghosts of bacteria, viruses and single-celled animals." "This is really surprising, this is not normal spiritual vision
. "Black Amber said.
"Has no one seen the ghost of a trilobite before?" Russell was surprised.
Black Amber said with certainty:
"As far as I know, no. There are indeed undead creatures transformed from animal ghosts, but they are extremely rare and limited to certain kinds of psychic animals." "Like cats?" Russell looked
at He looked at Professor Black Amber and narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, such as the cat ghosts raised by East Asian witches and wizards." Professor Black Amber's tone did not change.
"But I have never heard of any psychic who communicated with the souls of salmon, triceratops and trilobites."
As he said that, Black Amber suddenly became excited:
"Child, the spiritual vision has produced strange effects on you. Change, transform into a more powerful form!
"Russell, my previous guess was right. You are a magic genius and a mutant!
"There have been such magical geniuses in history. The same extraordinary power, in your hands, has a certain probability of being twisted into a more special and powerful form." "Well, will it become weaker? Or have side effects
? ?" Russell asked.
"It's not impossible."
Black Amber gave an example:
"More than a hundred years ago, there was a priest who was a magic genius like you.
"He was a well-known summoning master in the entire supernatural world. All summoned objects will be transformed into more powerful, weird and incredible forms through his hands.
"In 1908, the priest went alone to the Siberian forest in Russia and used a newly developed spell to summon 1,000 little boys, which resulted in a huge explosion. "
He himself was shattered to pieces in the explosion.
"Oh my God, the First World War hadn't started yet at that time. It was still 30 years before nuclear fission was discovered. The entire supernatural world couldn't figure out what the priest had summoned. This also became a major unsolved case and important research in the supernatural world at that time. Project."
"It's a pity," Russell pretended to regret, and then asked, "It wasn't until World War II that people figured out what happened that day?"
"Yes. Only later did the extraordinary world realize that the failed summons back then was accidentally connected to the future timeline and pulled out dangerous weapon projections."
Russell suddenly felt that he knew some great information. (Note 1)
