97: Section 97

One can only say that the road is long and arduous, so cherish the journey (and the money, Zhao).

Returning to the Psionic Clone, Su Ming hadn't used this before for only one reason... the environment wasn't suitable!

Which of those great pirates hadn't mastered Observation Haki?

No matter how lifelike Su Ming's clone was, in front of those cheating experts, it would still be seen through in an instant.

But to simply use his clone as cannon fodder just to increase combat power... sorry, Su Ming himself wasn't willing to do that.

It was Su Ming himself who controlled the Psionic Clone's movements and combat!

If the clone was cut,

it was equivalent to Su Ming himself being cut!

Su Ming wasn't that crazy.

Now it was different. A maxed-out Psionic Clone possessed 75% of Su Ming's own three-dimensional strength. Sending it out to fight a Warlord of the Sea would be easy and enjoyable... Emmm... Hawkeye, sit down!

Regardless,

the Psionic Clone already possessed preliminary practical combat value!

And the Desolate Heavenly Emperor next door proved with his own experience that ganging up is the hard truth! Cabinet.

Chapter 110: The Ghost Princess Lives Up to Her Name

After upgrading his skills, Su Ming's attention shifted to the blueprints.

The Fengdu Six Heavens Vault Observation Array was too high-end.

Many materials couldn't even be nurtured in universes where mythological concepts were slightly less active.

The Horror Dormitory was much better; the deployment consumables were merely seven items with terrifying symbolic meaning, and 80 portions of Breath of the Dead.

Of course.

The premise was that your ship already had crew quarters.

Regarding the symbolic items.

Su Ming selected seven items: the Soul-Calming Coffin, Corpse Candle Lamp, Netherlight Night Lamp, Haunted Magic Mirror, Bloody Wardrobe, Ominous Calendar, and Eerie Family Photo.

These seven item props included single-use consumables, green-tier items, and genuine decorations.

Their origins were also diverse, ranging from Abyssal Sea Game Field achievement rewards, monster drops, to crafting table Creations.

Their origins were also diverse, ranging from Abyssal Sea Game Field achievement rewards, monster drops, to crafting table Creations.

Among them, the Haunted Magic Mirror was even Su Ming's own Creation.

For Su Ming, these items were merely toys, but for the consumption requirements of the Horror Dormitory, their quality was definitely sufficient.

What are items with terrifying symbolic meaning compared to genuine underworld items?

Precisely because of this.

As soon as the first Horror Dormitory was completed,

Su Ming felt a strong, chilling aura pulsating like a heart within the ship's cabin.

847 used Blink to travel, appearing before the Horror Dormitory in an instant.

Doorplate number 001!

Pushing the door open, a ghastly green glow rendered the dormitory exceptionally eerie, echoing the orange-red light emitted by the Corpse Candle Lamp, adding to its bizarre.

Stepping inside.

On the dressing table directly opposite the door, an ancient mirror reflected Su Ming's image, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that its movements were always half a beat slower than Su Ming's.

The Ominous Calendar hanging on the wall to the left of the dressing table moved without wind. Its yellowed album depicted all sorts of extremely sinister things.

The most unbearable thing was... this Horror Dormitory had no bed!

Instead, there was a pitch-black coffin.

Gurgling yin energy surged out from it, flowing like a waterfall into every corner of the dormitory.

Precisely because of this.

As Su Ming turned to leave,

he could vaguely hear another set of footsteps following closely behind him. Su Ming smiled with satisfaction, thinking that Perona would have a blessed future!

When this girl's soul transforms into a Banshee Commander, a tombstone dedicated to Perona will also be erected in the dormitory!

Of course.

As an auxiliary facility of the midnight rose,

the Horror Dormitory was not just about a terrifying atmosphere and a sinister aesthetic.

The greatest function of this facility was that ghost life forms within it, while gaining almost double the growth rate, also possessed the ability to unleash terrifying illusions!

Furthermore.

The presence of the Soul-Calming Coffin also ensured that the physical body would not decay or spoil.

Glancing at the Banshee Cemetery, there, over a hundred and twenty Banshees accumulated by Su Ming formed a circle, encircling Perona's soul under Midnight's command.

A mournful elegy was being sung.

The transformation ritual was commencing.

Yin energy surged, and the concept of death attached itself to Perona, the subject of the ritual.

Under Wall-Piercing Insight's observation, Perona's living attributes were highly compressed, and her soul was continuously falling towards a ghost form.

Without disturbing the ritual's progress.

Withdrawing his gaze, Su Ming looked at the 12 crew dormitories on both sides of the corridor.

Rubbing his hands,

Su Ming's spirit for modification was already stirring.

How could a Horror Dormitory have only one style?

He instructed the skeleton artisans in the crafting table cabin to continuously produce a batch of sinister small toys with various artistic styles.

Half an hour later.

All the crew dormitories on the midnight rose had been redecorated with a sinister horror style.

Just then.

Midnight sent a message through the chilling wind:

"Master, the ritual has been successfully completed. Would you like to see Perona now?"

Is that even a question!

With a flash, Su Ming instantly appeared at the Banshee Cemetery.

Perona's soul body floated down like a fallen leaf, gently embraced by Midnight.

As for Perona's physical body,

it had long been placed by Midnight in the Commander's position in the Captain's room to lie dormant.

But...

Perona's physical body was disintegrating and dissipating.

Countless spiritual light particles instantly teleported to Perona's soul body from a distance.

A profound and terrifying transformation erupted in the extremely idealistic realm, like oil added to a raging fire!

Su Ming's eyes lit up, praising:

"What a clever method, Midnight. Where did you learn this trick?"

Midnight turned and smiled:

"Of course, I learned it from the inherited information, Master. Have you forgotten, I am also a beneficiary of the midnight rose's upgrade!"

Su Ming shook his head and chuckled wryly.

As the ghost ship's butler-level bound spirit,

she was naturally the first beneficiary of the ship's upgrade, but to say that the aforementioned operation was purely inherited information was utter nonsense.

The so-called inherited information in Midnight's words only contained the ritual for promoting a Banshee to a Banshee Commander.

Clearly.

Such a ritual did not match the reality.

And it was even less suitable for Perona, who was still alive, to be in the spotlight!

Simply put, for over ninety-nine percent of transcendent beings, flesh-and-blood transcendence comes first, followed by soul transcendence, mainly because methods for strengthening the soul are indeed very rare, and even if they exist, their efficacy for low-level transcendent beings cannot be immediately powerful.

This led to a situation where,

as transcendent beings continuously grew,

the proportion of flesh-and-blood began to overwhelmingly surpass the proportion of the soul!

The effect of the ritual presided over by Midnight was to invert this primary and secondary status; she converted Perona's soul weight to the dominant position!

Compressing the life symbolized by flesh-and-blood weight into Perona's secondary body!

The result was that.

The Banshee-fied Perona was the main body, while her physical body would only exist as a skin that could be switched at any time.

Just then.

Perona's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

After a soft hum, she opened a pair of big, bewildered eyes (+10).

Before Perona could figure out what had happened, a teasing voice came from beside her ear:

"Congratulations, the operation was very successful. You are no longer..."

Her heart skipped a beat; such a familiar voice...

What did that voice want to say?

"...no longer alive!"

Perona: "..."

What a terrible old joke... but... who are you?

She stiffly followed the sound, and what met her eyes was the handsome young man she'd recognize even if he were burned to ashes. His aura was masculine and dashing, like the warm winter sun, reassuring. His beautiful face was several tiers above current popular aesthetics.

Just looking at this T0-level face made Perona's face flush and her heart... wait!

Wait!

Perona's eyes widened.

Where where where where did my heartbeat go!

No, that's not right!

My, why is my body so cold?

Chapter 111: Perona's Luxurious Panel

What?

I haven't dispelled my ghost state yet?

Then it's fine... no, it's not fine at all!

Wuwuwu!—

I can't feel my body anymore!

What made Perona's heart stop even more was that she now realized she was lying in the arms of that terrifying ghost woman!

...If she still had a heart.

"Come to think of it, Midnight has already implanted all of this into your mind."
