"Why him? Well, there's a reason." One-Eyed Dabao reached out two claws from the darkness and held its chin as if trying to find the right words to describe the situation.
However, it didn't notice that Angor's expression turned even weirder when he saw the claws.
It was called Phantom Stone before, but now it could be called Phantom Stone.
Should I give it a new name later?
Angor began to think about it carefully.
A moment later, One-Eyed Dabao came back to its senses and hesitated. "I chose him because he has the aura of destruction. So do you. The quality of your body seems to be higher, and although his quality is not as good as yours, his entire body is surrounded by the aura of destruction. "
Aura of destruction?
Angor didn't know what that meant.
After talking to Phantom Stone for a while, he finally understood that the "power of destruction" was actually the power of space.
Mirror creatures had seen a lot of life and death in the Mirror Domain, but they still didn't like the aura of destruction. Every time a mirror surface was destroyed, they would have to find a new place to live.
The Mirror Domain had few living places to begin with, and they were often occupied by powerful mirror creatures. It wasn't easy to find a suitable place to live.
This was why mirror creatures didn't like the aura of destruction.
However, Phantom Stone wasn't sensitive to the aura of destruction because it mainly lived in the real world. However, their mother, Netherworld Slave, had told the three children about what had happened in the Mirror Realm. When Netherworld Slave was first born, it was also a creature in the Mirror Realm that hated the aura of destruction. Although it had come to reality with the help of the Goddess and even possessed the power of space, it still did not like the aura of destruction.
Due to their mother's influence, Phantom Stone didn't like the aura of destruction either.
The reason why Phantom Stone wanted to capture Khael was that the aura of destruction, or the power of space, was spreading all over Khael's body.
Phantom Stone didn't like the aura of destruction, so it decided to capture Khael instead.
Phantom Stone was going to capture someone. However, Khael's aura was like the stars in the night sky, which made it difficult for Phantom Stone to ignore it.
As for why it wanted to capture someone?
Ghost Stone's explanation was, "I'm not trying to catch him. I'm just inviting him to be my guest."
Angor only snorted at the explanation.
Invite me into your stomach as a guest?
What do you have in your stomach to entertain guests? Apart from darkness, there was only darkness. Even his mental energy couldn't leave his body. Was he inviting Kael here as a guest, or was he trying to give him a taste of what it was like to be locked up in a little black room?
To put it bluntly, the invitation was just a dignified name for "kidnapping".
Phantom Stone was still worried that they would harm his mother when they were dealing with Serene Slave, so he decided to kidnap a hostage and use it as an "invitation". With a hostage in hand, Angor and the others would be more careful when dealing with Phantom Slave.
According to Phantom Stone's instructions, they could not harm Hidden Slave at all.
As long as Hidden Slave was harmed in the slightest, Kael would go from an invited guest to a hostage that would be killed.
Earlier, the Wise Ruler mentioned that the three children of Phantom Slave all cared about their mother very much. Angor didn't think much of it back then, but now it seemed that the Wise Ruler was right.
"By the way, why did you call me Ghost Stone again?" One-Eyed Dabao hesitated for a while and asked, "Why did you call me Ghost Stone again? Didn't you say Phantom Stone? "
"Because Phantoms don't have hands. Those with hands are called Phantom Stones." Angor glanced at One-Eyed Dabao's two tiny claws. "Plus, you don't care about names, do you?"
One-Eyed Dabao: … I don't care about names, but you can't just keep saying 'Phantom Stone' one second and 'Phantom Stone' the next, right?
"Those with hands are called Phantom Stones. What about those with legs, necks, and wings? Do they have other names?"
Angor nodded, then shook his head. "Phantoms don't have necks and wings. But if they have legs, ears, and a tail, they can be called Geng Ghosts."
In order to make his words more believable, he even used illusions to simulate Ghostface's evolution.
Thanks to the illusions, One-Eyed Dabao didn't realize that Angor was lying. Also, Phantom Stone and Phantom Stone did look exactly like One-Eyed Dabao, except for the fact that Phantom Stone only had one eye.
Now it seemed that Angor had a good reason for calling Phantom Stone by its name.
As long as Angor wasn't lying, One-Eyed Dabao could accept it.
However, One-Eyed Dabao still felt that Geng Ghost was more powerful than Phantom Stone. With this in mind, it grew an ear and two legs out of the dark orb. As for its tail, since it wasn't going to turn its back to anyone, it didn't really matter.
And just like that, One-Eyed Dabao "evolved" into Geng Ghost right in front of Angor.
Although it was a one-eyed Geng Ghost.
"I don't like changing names. You can either call me One-Eyed Dabao, or Geng Ghost. Yes, Geng Ghost!" One-Eyed Dabao declared seriously.
Angor looked at "Geng Ghost" and felt that the creature was a bit silly. How did it accept someone else's name so quickly?
The reason was simple. Among Youu Nu's three sons, One-Eyed Dabao was the most level-headed and reasonable one. It might have its own plans, but it wasn't a bad one.
Thanks to its understanding, the bird knew that Angor was not joking when he said the name. Angor did not come up with a random name. It was from the bottom of its heart.
Therefore, Geng Ghost was willing to listen, adapt, and understand.
To put it bluntly, it was because Angor was inside its stomach. Since Angor wasn't lying, Geng Ghost was willing to try and communicate with Angor.
Angor considered for a moment and nodded. "Alright, Geng Ghost."
"Now that we're even, shall we talk?"
"Sure, Geng Ghost."
"I'll allow you to call me Geng Ghost, but you don't have to use that name every time you say it."
"I understand, Geng Ghost."
Geng Gui was silent for a long time, as if he was adjusting his mood. After a long while, he said, "Although your entry was an accident, since you can make the decision on behalf of your team, I don't have to deal with the rest of you."
"I hope you won't hurt my mother."
"The Wise Lord told us about this before, and I already agreed."
Geng Ghost knew that Angor wasn't lying, but it wasn't enough.
"That's not enough."
Angor raised an eyebrow. "Then what else do you want us to do? Make a contract that won't hurt Youu Nu? "
Geng Ghost nodded. "That's a good idea."
Angor grumbled. "Sure, I can make a contract that won't hurt Youu Nu. But how do I do that? We don't want to hurt Youu Nu, but Youu Nu wants to hurt us. So, if you want us to sign a contract, you need to at least tell us how to reach the hall of the Wise Ones without touching it. "
"I can't promise you that."
"If you can't, how do you expect us to not hurt Youu Nu?"
Geng Gui: "If you hurt Mother, all of you will die. But if you can promise not to hurt her, you'll live. I can also help you retrieve Grey Merchant's memory from the Mirror Domain. That's my guarantee. "
Angor was speechless. That's not a guarantee. It's a fucking threat.
If Angor didn't know about Geng Ghost's personality, he would probably retort something like "You really think you can kill me?". Then he would use his trump card to stop Geng Ghost.
However, Geng Ghost was a simpleton, and Youu Nu was its weak spot. Angor's decision would only worsen the conflict. Angor planned to talk about Youu Nu's abilities with Geng Ghost, but he didn't want to do that.
He decided to ignore Geng Ghost's threat and changed the topic. "I can sign a contract with you on behalf of my team, but I need to know about Youu Nu's abilities. You have to at least tell me what Youu Nu's abilities are, so we can avoid them without hurting her. "
"But … the ability is a secret. Mother told us not to tell anyone."
Geng Ghost looked troubled. Angor was right. How could they avoid Youu Nu's abilities if they didn't know about them? But Mother didn't allow them to tell anyone about the ability.
Geng Ghost pondered for a moment and glanced at Kael from the corner of his eye.
"Oh, right! He has the power of destruction, right? You can use it to go around Mother and reach the hall directly! "
Angor shrugged. "I've thought of something similar, but your boss didn't agree."
No matter what Angor said, the Wise Man would find all kinds of excuses to refuse. It didn't matter if the Wise Man was just putting on an act or trying to save face for Adanis. Either way, they had to go through Youu Nu's test.
Geng Ghost understood the Wise Man's concern. After all, the Wise Man didn't want to offend the Goddess directly. Therefore, he had to let Angor and his team pass Youu Nu's test at least once.
However, Mother was a loyal follower of the Goddess. She would never play along. She would only do her best to carry out Her Majesty's orders. This was a problem.
If she didn't cooperate, how could they reach the Sage Hall without hurting her mother?
Geng Ghost thought for a long time but still failed.
Should he ask Baby Xiaobao to come with him? If Baby Xiaobao met someone like Angor, who simply refused to listen to reason, he wouldn't have to worry about so much.
Geng Ghost was worried about Baby Xiaobao, which meant he really didn't know what to do.
Angor saw Geng Ghost's dilemma. He considered and suggested, "Since Youu Nu asked you to keep your abilities a secret, does that mean you inherited Youu Nu's abilities?"
Geng Ghost nodded. "Sort of. I can copy most of Mother's abilities. It's just a matter of how much I can copy. "
"Since you have Youu Nu's abilities, why don't you take Mother's place and imitate Youu Nu's mind and ambush us on our way? We can use that to find a way out."
Angor asked the Wise Man to find the Cyclops Family because he wanted to use the Cyclops Family to imitate Youu Nu's plan.
"You should know that this isn't a fair deal," Angor said. Angor considered. "But if we can find a way to escape, I'm willing to sign this unreasonable contract with you."
"This is the last compromise we can make."
Geng Ghost considered Angor's offer and nodded. This was indeed a very compromising and compromise solution.
Geng Ghost had no reason to keep them in the dark room anymore. He opened the door and let Angor out. Before leaving, Angor also brought Cael back to the outside world.
Geng Ghost planned to take Cael as a hostage, but Angor mentioned that they would sign a contract if they could find a way out. A contract was a better option than a hostage. So be it.
…
When Angor and Cael came out of the dog hole, it had only been five or six minutes since they disappeared.
Seeing them return safely, Wa Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's Geng Gui, One-Eyed Dabao," Angor answered before anyone could ask.
"What's Geng Ghost?"
"That's not important. Cyclops Dabao and I already agreed that he'll use Youu Nu's ability to ambush us. I will try my best to find a way to break out of this ambush. "
Angor briefly explained what happened inside Geng Ghost's body, as well as the details of the contract. After all, the contract involved everyone, not just Angor himself.
No one objected to Angor's decision. Although Dorcas complained that Cyclops Dabao's contract was unfair, he didn't really care about it. Compared to the unfairness of the contract, Dorcas was more concerned about something else.
"So you're saying he'll ambush us? Only you? "Dorcas looked at Angor.
"You mean you just want to watch the show?"
Dorcas rubbed his chin. "It's not that I can't. It's just a little boring. Let Cael record the whole thing with a Shadow Stone."
"It's not perfect either. How about I make another one?" Angor chuckled.
"Of course!" Dorcas clapped his hands.
Angor chuckled but didn't say anything.
Dorcas finally felt the tension in the air. He looked at Angor's sneering face and felt a chill down his spine.
"I'm kidding! Just kidding! Hahaha!" Dorcas took a few steps back awkwardly.
"You're kidding? I'm not kidding. I'll do my best to make this one. I just heard from Geng Ghost that Er Bao has some interesting tricks up his sleeve. I think they'll work well. "
"Er Bao? Cyclops Dabao? What kind of tricks? "
Angor gave Dorcas a meaningful glance. "You'll find out soon enough."
Dorcas didn't know what to say, but Kael's face was as white as a sheet.
Er Bao's tricks? Doesn't that mean …
Kael gulped. He didn't dare to think any further.
