It turned out that not long ago, the old man really opened this hotel here. He was usually friendly and did not offend anyone.
Unfortunately, the old man had an unfilial son. He usually ate, drank, and played without working. When he ran out of money, he would come to him for money.
That day, this unfilial son came to the old man again to ask for money. In the end, the old man lost his temper this time and reprimanded his son loudly. Who knew that this unfilial son would fly into a rage and beat the old man to death?
After killing the old man, the young man had no remorse at all. He directly buried the old man on the spot, took all the money from the old man's family, and left.
Originally, the old man could only be buried underground like this.
However, according to him, his consciousness had not completely dissipated at that time. He vaguely heard a seductive voice asking him if he wanted to live.
The old man subconsciously replied. So, that mysterious existence enslaved the old man's soul and gave him the ability to move during the day. He was alive.
And because the old man's soul was enslaved, he had to help that unknown existence harm the tourists who came to his place and send their souls as sacrifices.
The old man was actually quite kind, but if he didn't do this, his soul would be tortured.
Therefore, he thought of a compromise. He publicized the fact that this place was haunted to reduce the possibility of outsiders coming to Mount Liujia. At the same time, only when they heard abnormal noises in the middle of the night and came out of their rooms would their souls be sucked. As long as they didn't go out, they would be fine.
This was also the reason why Aoki Wataru stayed in this hostel for a night without suffering any injuries.
" After you left that day, I felt lucky, but who knew that you would come back that day…"
The old man looked at Aoki She and said helplessly. The corner of Aoki She's mouth twitched. Can we not mention this matter anymore?
"In that case, I have no choice. I have to fulfill the agreement between me and him, so I have no choice but to attack you.”
After hearing the old man's words, Qing Mushe quickly asked,"Where is that guy? Perhaps I can free your soul.”
The old man shook his head helplessly." I can't. You won't be able to find him. It's been so long, but I've never seen what he looks like or where he is."”
"Looks like that guy is probably afraid that others will find him. He probably hid to harm others because he was seriously injured and wanted to heal.”Star of Northern Dipper voiced out his guess.
In addition, his guess was not groundless. After all, some of the enemies he encountered back then had done this kind of thing.
" I don't know..." The old man shook his head and sighed. He didn't know much.
At this moment, Aoki Wataru looked at the location of the hostel. At this moment, there were circles of black vortexes spinning there. From the outside, one could not see what was inside.
Aoki Wataru thought about what had happened to him and couldn't help but make a risky decision.
He strode over.
When the Northern Dipper Star Division discovered this situation, they hurriedly shouted,"Aoki-kun!"
At this time, Aoki Shou had already approached the black vortex, and the Northern Dipper Star Division could not stop him even if they wanted to.
Qing Mushe raised his hand and reached into the black vortex. At this moment, the powerful suction force appeared on Qing Mushe's body again, forcefully pulling the black vortex into his body.
The old man and the Star of Northern Dipper watched in shock. Just as the suction force of Qing Mushe's body was forcefully pulling the black vortex, Qing Mushe vaguely heard an unwilling roar.
Aoki Shura guessed that this was probably the guy who controlled the old man's soul.
It was a pity that this miserable fellow did not even have the chance to show his face. He was sucked into Aoki Shou's body by some unknown means.
When Qing Mushe completely absorbed the black vortex, he heard the system notification before he could check what was happening to his body.
It seemed like the Awakening System had been activated?
Aoki Shou was stunned. He quickly immersed his mind in the system. He flipped through the function keys and found an awakening function.
Unlike in the game, in order to awaken a Spirit-branded Retainer in the game, it required materials with the four attributes of wind, thunder, fire, and water. These materials could only be obtained by clearing dungeons.
The awakening function that appeared in Aoki Wataru's version of the system did not require the trouble of clearing dungeons. This function became a type of storage. Every day, it would automatically produce one material of the four attributes of wind, thunder, fire, and water. If there was energy supply, this base number would increase.
In other words, it could only be used to exchange for broken talismans. Now, it could be used to grind for awakening materials.
As for how many base numbers can be increased, that would depend on the quality of the monsters.
After discovering that the awakening function had been activated, Aoki Wataru was very happy. This was equivalent to having another way to increase the strength of the Spirit-branded Retainers.
Every Spirit-branded Retainer had different effects after awakening. Some increased attributes, while others increased the power of skills. In short, the Awakened Spirit-branded Retainer would definitely be much stronger than before.
Thinking of this, Aoki Wataru couldn't help but laugh foolishly.
The Star of Northern Dipper, who had been worried about Qing Mushe's safety, was speechless when he saw Qing Mushe suddenly giggle. He felt that he had to worry about this heartless brat. He must have had a screw loose…
Fortunately, Aoki Wataru's silly smile did not last long. He came back to his senses and ran over. He looked at the old man with a smile and said,"Sir, I killed that guy. You're free now.”
The old man chuckled after hearing this. The haze on his face seemed to have dissipated a lot. However, at this time, his Yin body also slowly faded.
When Qing Mushe saw this, she was stunned.”
" I died a few days ago." The old man sighed softly." I've been suffering for the past few days." Young man, thank you for helping me get rid of that monster. However, I'm dead after all. I still can't live in this world. However, this time, I don't have any regrets. Thank you…"
As the old man spoke, his body gradually dissipated in front of Qing Mushe and the Northern Dipper Star Division.
Aoki She looked at this scene in a daze. After a long time, he came back to his senses and turned to the Northern Dipper Star Division in confusion."Mister Big Dipper, does he really have no regrets?”
Star of Northern Dipper also thought of his unfilial son and sighed heavily."Who knows?"
