Chapter 153: Hypnosis
Chapter 153: Hypnosis
Qiao Sang handed the crystal to Ghost Lantern.
She didn’t think much of it, just feeling that Ghost Lantern had worked hard to pick it up, and she wanted to lend a hand.
She recognized this crystal; it was called a Nether Crystal, which contained energy that could achieve a similar effect to Absorbing life energy.
It wasn’t something she learned in school, but rather from a very popular film she had seen before.
In the film, a Ghost-type Companion Beast called Vampire Gem was the main antagonist, specializing in Absorbing human life energy. The protagonist managed to escape death three times thanks to a Nether Crystal, which left a deep impression on her.
Without its wick, Ghost Lantern shouldn’t have been able to sustain itself for long outside, but seeing the Nether Crystal, Qiao Sang no longer had any doubts.
While she didn’t know where Ghost Lantern had obtained it, the Nether Crystal was indeed a valuable supplement for a wickless Ghost Lantern.
Ghost Lantern stared at the Nether Crystal for a moment, and the flame inside its lantern flickered and then settled, becoming even smaller than the initial weak flame.
It tried to lift its arms but found itself too weak.
Ghost Lantern attempted to raise its head but found it couldn’t move, only managing to look up with its eyes at the human in front of it.
"Vampire."
Qiao Sang was slightly taken aback and placed the Nether Crystal into its mouth.
She didn’t understand what Ghost Lantern was saying, but she could sense what it was trying to convey.
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker floated over.
Seeing that Ghost Lantern wasn’t attacking its Beastmaster, it curiously sniffed around it.
The death aura was heavy, even more so than the human lying upstairs...
Treasure Seeker suddenly felt hungry and skillfully removed the Ring to drink some milk.
After swallowing the Nether Crystal, Ghost Lantern tried to move but found itself still paralyzed. It had no choice but to remain motionless on the ground.
"Are you the familiar of the old lady in room 702 upstairs?" Qiao Sang asked, seeing that Ghost Lantern couldn’t move.
Although she had found Ghost Lantern, it was the middle of the night. Considering the old lady’s frail state and her reliance on the wick, Qiao Sang decided to wait until morning when the old lady woke up to talk to her.
Since Ghost Lantern was currently so weak, she wasn’t worried about it escaping with Fangy and Treasure Seeker around.
If she could persuade it to return voluntarily, that would be even better. She was afraid that another fight might cause Ghost Lantern to fall apart.
Ghost Lantern’s body stiffened at her words.
"Old Lady misses you a lot, and I’m sure you miss her too", Qiao Sang continued.
The flame inside Ghost Lantern flickered.
"Life, aging, illness, and death are natural. By sustaining her life with the wick, you’ve put yourself in this state, and she wouldn’t be happy about it."
As Qiao Sang spoke, Ghost Lantern suddenly lifted its head, as if it had regained some strength.
It didn’t understand why this human knew about the wick.
"Go see her. Spend the last moments together", Qiao Sang said with a sigh.
She meant it. In her view, it was better to have the last days with someone important rather than prolonging life artificially.
Treasure Seeker blinked its eyes, looking back and forth between its Beastmaster and Ghost Lantern, not understanding what was happening.
But Ghost Lantern understood.
This human was here to capture it.
Over the past few days, it had evaded many people, knowing that they were all sent by its Beastmaster to find it.
As it looked at the human, its vision began to blur. When it refocused, it seemed to see the figure of its younger Beastmaster superimposed on the human.
"Lantern God, I’ll call you Lantern God from now on. When I want something, I’ll make a wish to you. What do you think?"
Ghost Lantern realized what was happening.
It couldn’t be captured yet.
Qiao Sang, seeing that Ghost Lantern wasn’t responding, thought it hadn’t heard her and was about to say more.
In the next second, it realized that it was staring at her, its eyes slowly turning purple.
Qiao Sang was taken aback, and before she could react, a familiar figure had already blocked her view.
It was Treasure Seeker.
...
Treasure Seeker felt a bit dizzy, and when it regained its senses, it saw its Beastmaster bending over with a smiling face.
"Ghost!"
Treasure Seeker excitedly pounced forward. Its Beastmaster was safe!
But soon it was stunned. What had it just said? Ghost?
"Lantern God, from now on, I'll call you Lantern God. When I want something, I'll just make a wish to you. What do you think?" Qiao Sang said with a smile.
Lantern God?
Treasure Seeker was confused. Wasn't its name Treasure Seeker? Did it have to change its name?
Then, Treasure Seeker became even more confused because it found itself nodding and responding without control.
"Ghost!"
Qiao Sang laughed, closing her eyes and placing her hands together in front of her chest. "I want to become a Professional Beastmaster and take Lantern God to explore the world, and even make it to the Regional Tournament."
"Ghost."
Treasure Seeker was taken aback. It had no objections to this wish, but could she please not call it Lantern God? It still preferred Treasure Seeker.
"Lantern God, you agreed." Qiao Sang opened her eyes and smiled.
"Ghost."
Treasure Seeker blinked.
Oh no, its Beastmaster couldn't understand what it was saying.
Qiao Sang happily lifted it over her head.
Treasure Seeker's eyes widened when it saw a mirror behind Qiao Sang, clearly reflecting its current appearance.
This wasn't it!
...
West Shadow Neighborhood.
Qiao Sang picked up Treasure Seeker and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was just sleeping.
She hadn't expected the Ghost Lantern to be so weak that it couldn't even stand, yet still have the strength to use its skills.
Qiao Sang felt a bit guilty, blaming herself for being too complacent. Fortunately, the Ghost Lantern had only used Hypnosis, so all she needed to do was wait for Treasure Seeker to wake up.
Qiao Sang looked at the Ghost Lantern, which was lying on the ground, unable to move.
"You know, even if I was hypnotized, what good would it do? You can't move at all."
The Ghost Lantern looked at her but said nothing.
Qiao Sang's eyelids twitched, suddenly feeling insecure.
Treasure Seeker was under Hypnosis, Fangy was sleeping, and what if the Ghost Lantern suddenly did something again?
Qiao Sang took a step back with Treasure Seeker in her arms and quickly walked over to the sleeping Fangy, freeing one hand to shake it vigorously. "Fangy! Wake up! If you don't wake up, Aquariana will come and spray you with water!"
"Yah."
Fangy smiled with its eyes closed, seemingly in a sweet dream.
Qiao Sang: "..."
No wonder Aquariana always succeeded when it did that...
...
"Lantern God, I'm sorry. It's my fault you got hurt like this."
Treasure Seeker watched as the person who looked like its Beastmaster held it, tears streaming down her face.
It wanted to say it was fine, but its mouth moved without making a sound.
Its eyes closed involuntarily, and when they opened again, it found itself in a different place.
This time, it seemed to be in a bed, surrounded by white things.
The person who looked like its Beastmaster was sitting beside it, looking much thinner.
"We won't go to the Hidden Realm anymore. I've thought about it, and there's nothing much to see in the outside world."
"Ghost..."
"Lantern God, I don't want to take any more risks. I want to settle down."
Mission complete!
