Chapter 441 You are Lu Youyou!
[Wei Tianning: Useless! What kind of illusion have you created? How could you let her escape so easily?]
[The first ghost guarding the grave: It's a scene from her second birthday celebration, showing her time with her parents. A puppet worm was put inside her birthday cake, but who would have thought she wouldn't eat it?]
[Wei Tianning: All you ever do is eat! You died of obesity, just because you did? You think everyone loves to eat? Next time, find a different way to hide the puppet worms!]
[Grave Guardian Ghost 1: Okay, but boss, do you have any more illusion fragments? I don't have many left, and I don't dare to weave illusions easily anymore.]
[Wei Tianning: What nonsense are you spouting? I gave you a hundred illusion fragments, and you're telling me you have very few left?]
[Grave Guardian Ghost 1: Boss, you don't know, there's a madman named Wang Qiao who throws exploding bananas at ghosts whenever he sees one. Before we can even make up an illusion, the fragments of the illusion are blown out...]
[Wei Tianning: ...? Wang Qiao is that lucky? Then next time you run into Wang Qiao, stay far away. She's a madwoman, nothing to fear. As long as you have Lu Youyou, you can get one free.]
[Wei Tianning: I've sent you another hundred. Use them sparingly. Gathering illusion fragments for you guys consumes a lot of energy, so you must learn to conserve them and use them wisely.]
[The spirit guarding the grave: Thank you, boss.]
The chat ended there, and Lu Youyou smiled broadly.
It's good that Wang Qiao is alright; it seems she left quite a shadow on the guardian ghost of the grave.
However, Wei Tianning and the Grave Ghost didn't consider that if Wang Qiao had so many exploding bananas, why didn't they have any themselves?
Regardless of which of them has the exploding banana tree, they won't let the other one go empty-handed.
"Help! Help!"
Suddenly, a piercing cry for help came from outside. Lu Youyou got up and pulled back the curtains.
A young girl was tied up, and the ghostly figure in front of her grabbed her chin, about to feed her a puppet worm.
"stop!"
Lu Youyou got out of the car and kicked the ghost man over in a few moves: "Tell me, what will happen if a person eats this bug?"
The ghost initially shook his head nonchalantly, appearing completely unmoved by reason.
When Lu Youyou took out the exploding banana, its eyes instantly cleared.
"Human! Human, I was wrong! I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"
Lu Youyou repeated the question she had just asked.
"That's right. When ordinary people die, they become mindless ghosts who can only use skills and follow others. Sometimes they can even slow down the progress of the main force."
"But the ghosts fed with puppet worms are different; they still have their own minds. However, they cannot harm the boss, otherwise they will be devoured by the puppet worms day and night. We internally call these people puppets."
So far, Lu Youyou has encountered three different monsters.
Ghosts are divided into two categories: low-level ghosts without consciousness and puppets with their own minds.
Although both are low-level monsters, the puppeteer's level is higher than that of the mindless ghost.
The details of the tomb ghosts are still unknown; all that is known is that they can communicate with Wei Tianning and are dark in appearance.
"Is the one who can weave illusions a puppet or a ghost?" Lu Youyou asked.
"Hehe, of course it's a puppet. Ghosts have shrunken heads and can't adapt. Only puppets can weave illusions that are suitable for a specific human being."
Seeing his obsequious and unreserved manner, Lu Youyou suddenly asked, "Were you like this when you were a human?"
The ghost was very proud: "Of course. When I first met the boss, I almost became a low-level ghost. It was my sweet talk that made me a puppet and preserve my mind."
Lu Youyou gently stroked the hem of her clothes with her fingers, lost in thought.
"What's your name?"
"Hmm... When I was a human, my name was Zhang Wei. Now, I'm called Ghost Man No. 2333."
"Zhang Wei, tell me, what are the fragments of the illusion to the Ghost Man?"
“Fragments of the Illusion! Although those things are the energy source for the puppeteer to release illusions, they are not in the puppeteer's possession, but are kept on the grave ghost.”
Lu Youyou asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"Because the grave ghosts can't create illusions, the boss feels more at ease with the fragments being kept in their hands. Besides, the puppets can only prevent the boss from harming them, but they can complete the tasks assigned by the boss without intentionally doing so, so the grave ghosts' supervision is needed."
With Zhang Wei's supplement, Lu Youyou gained a deeper understanding of the puppeteers.
She took out a fragment of the illusion from her backpack and gently shook it under Zhang Wei's expectant gaze.
"Do you want to?"
Zhang Wei nodded hastily: "Of course! I'm a puppet. If I have fragments of the illusion realm, I can command low-level ghosts!"
"Then pledge allegiance to me."
A crack appeared in Zhang Wei's excited expression. He scratched his ear, wondering if there was something wrong with it.
"Huh? But I ate the puppet worm that the master gave me. Even if I want to be loyal to you, I would never hurt the master for you. I can't risk the damage to my body for a piece of fragment."
"We'll talk about the specifics later, just let her go for now," Lu Youyou said, pointing to the tied-up girl.
Zhang Wei obediently extended his sharp fingernails and broke the rope.
The girl did not leave immediately; instead, she turned around and bowed ninety degrees to Lu Youyou.
"What's your name, miss? I'll repay you if I ever have the chance."
"My name is Ji Tian. You should leave first. I have my own things to take care of."
"My name is Chen Qiu. Well... we'll meet again someday!"
Chen Qiu drove away, and Zhang Wei weakly raised his hand: "Miss Ji Tian... Big sister, I want to leave too!"
"You can't do it. Get in the car with me, and I'll take you somewhere else."
"No, Ji Tian, I'm begging you! I really can't be loyal to you. If the boss finds out, he'll kill me. Even if he doesn't, the puppet worms inside me will keep eating me until I die!"
"You just want to avoid hurting Wei Tianning, right?" Lu Youyou retorted.
Zhang Wei was shocked: "You know the boss's name? Who are you?"
Lu Youyou is usually reluctant to mention that she was chosen by the adults, because everything she does is not for power, but so that she and her friends can live peacefully and healthily.
However, in order to gain effectiveness in the dungeon, she had no choice but to speak out to reassure the puppeteers with whom she had no close relationship.
“I am Lu Youyou. Since your boss is Wei Tianning, you should have heard of my name.”
Lu Youyou had already figured out how much the adults valued her, but Zhang Wei collapsed to the ground with his eyes rolled back.
"You're Lu Youyou? You're Lu Youyou!"
Lu Youyou rolled her eyes in annoyance: "If I'm not Lu Youyou, then who are you?"
If she hadn't been so desperate to develop her own monster forces to fight against Wei Tianning, she wouldn't have gone along with Zhang Wei's words.
Just throw an exploding banana at them, kill them, and then it'll all be quiet.
