Chapter 53



53 Killing the Paper Man and the Strange Turreted Ship

“Hehehe~” The Lantern Paper Man laughed. The lantern in its hand lit up and shone directly on Wang Yu.

Loss of soul!

Wang Yu froze on the spot as if he was being controlled by a light.

Seeing this, the Lantern Paper Man laughed even more. It floated over with the lantern in its hand, and its small hand pressed straight toward Wang Yu’s chest!

If Wang Yu were to take this hit, he would definitely not feel good!

Just as the Lantern Paper Man’s palm was a fist away from Wang Yu’s chest, Wang Yu turned his blade and slashed it upwards!

The Lantern Paper Man shrieked in pain and quickly retreated.

Wang Yu had the Dragon Scale skill and was no longer under these control. He was just playing along!

He was not willing to let go of such a good opportunity and attacked with his Ice Army Blade!

The Lantern Paper Man’s mouth opened even wider in pain. It pointed its little finger, and a gray-black mass of air pounced at Wang Yu.

Soul Capture!

Wang Yu was too close to it and couldn’t dodge in time, so he took the hit.

Just as the Lantern Paper Man was filled with joy, a cold light shot out from the gray gas and slashed at its face!

Wang Yu’s attack didn’t slow down. A dual-colored fire lotus in his left hand hit its chest.

Boom!

A violent flame erupted, burning a large hole in the Lantern Paper Man’s chest!

The flame’s momentum didn’t decrease, and it seemed like it was going to burn it to ashes!

This time, the Lantern Paper Man was completely flustered. It quickly used its Possession skill and entered Wang Yu’s body.

Little did it know that it was seeking its own death!

The eight-colored flame lotus exploded from Wang Yu’s body, forcing the Lantern Paper Man out.

It still wanted to escape. Seeing this, Wang Yu clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it toward the back of the Lantern Paper Man. A lightning dragon shadow blasted out and killed it on the spot!

The Lantern Paper Man was dead!

[Congratulations on successfully killing the Lantern Paper Man!] the game interface prompted.

[Congratulations on obtaining experience x10,000. Since you have killed an enemy 11 levels above you, you will receive an additional 110%!]

[Congratulations on reaching Level 20. Current experience: 1%.]

After the Lantern Paper Man died, two balls of light exploded, followed by a series of notifications.

Wang Yu picked it up, but before he could take a closer look, he heard a song.

The song was ethereal and melodious, revealing a touch of sadness. It made people sigh and start to grieve for spring and autumn.

Something was wrong!

Wang Yu bit the tip of his tongue and instantly woke up.

Something was not right. Who would be singing here in the middle of the night? And it was near a funeral parlor!

From the sound, the singer seemed to be in the middle of the river!

Wang Yu looked in the direction of the voice and was shocked.

A wooden ship slowly sailed through the center of the river. The ship was three stories high and hung with red lanterns.

What was even more strange was that there were no waves as the ship moved forward. There was no one on the ship, only a song.

Several crows stopped on the cornice, staring at him with their blood-red eyes.

Wang Yu broke out in cold sweat.

According to the memories of the ten years he had lived with the original owner, there was no such ship in G City!

‘I haven’t heard of such a ship coming to G City recently!’

Moreover, the material and style of this building were not something that would be built in modern times!

Then, he thought of the Lantern Paper Man earlier…

How could he not know that this ship was clearly a ghost ship!?

Wang Yu was scared out of his wits. He put away the Mega-Tooth Devil Rat and turned to run.

Looking at Wang Yu’s back as he left, the person on the ship exclaimed softly, “Yi!”

Wang Yu turned around and was so shocked that he picked up his speed. He held the eight-color flame lotus in one hand and was ready to throw it out at any time!

The ship was slowly leaving the water and was flying toward him at an extremely fast speed!

Just as Wang Yu was shouting that his life was over, a heavy bell rang and slowly reverberated through the entire city!

“Tsk~”

The people on the ship glanced at the large bronze bell standing on the main building of the City Guard Division. They pursed their lips and gave up on chasing Wang Yu.

In the blink of an eye, the thick fog rose and the ship slowly disappeared.

Along the way, Wang Yu kept running, but when he saw that the ship was not chasing him, he slowed down.

Under such circumstances, Wang Yu naturally did not dare to go home. He found an internet café in the city center and spent the night there.

It was already the next morning when he returned home.

Wang Yu finally had the time to look at the items dropped by the Lantern Paper Man last night.

[Name: Paper Man Possession]

[Rank: Silver]

[Class: –]

[Effect: When used on a target who has transitioned their profession less than the number of times the user has transitioned their profession, the user will possess the target, reduce their defense by 10%, and imprison them for 5 seconds.]

—

[Name: Soul Lamp]

[Class: Mage]

[Level: 30]

[Rank: Gold]

[Type: Weapon]

[Attributes: +700 Magic Power, +10% Fire Damage]

[Skill: Will-o’-Wisp]

[Will-o’-Wisp: Releases a will-o’-wisp to burn the target in front of it. The will-o’-wisp will attach to the target and cause continuous damage.]

These two pieces of equipment were good, but to Wang Yu, Paper Man Possession was more useful than the Soul Lamp.

Wang Yu put away the two items and began to think about this matter.

Logically speaking, it was impossible and shouldn’t have been possible for a magical beast of this level to appear in G City, let alone that strange ghost ship.

It must be known that G City was protected by a large-scale defensive formation, and only a few city gates could be accessed.

Even if there were blind magical beasts that tried to sneak in, they would be killed by the city guards on the city wall.

Could there be a problem with the formation? Wang Yu could not help but suspect.

In order to prevent the beast tide that occurred once every ten years, the formation was the lifeblood of a city, and it was unlikely that there would be any problems.

Wang Yu thought about it but still couldn’t come up with an answer, so he decided to do the same…

Report!

This matter was already out of his control.

After giving the City Guard Division a report letter, Wang Yu went to the Profession Association.

He wanted to reincarnate the One-Eyed Dragon.

With Wang Yu’s current strength, there was a chance that a profession class holder above Rank 3 from the Impure World Reincarnation would be able to break free from his control.

However, One-Eyed Dragon had just transitioned to Rank 3, so it should not be a big problem.

To be on the safe side, Wang Yu used a normal Goblin this time.

In this case, even if he reincarnated, the One-Eyed Dragon’s strength would not be too high, and even if he broke free, it would be easy to subdue him.

Wang Yu first summoned Ma Yan and the Blazing Rock Bear, then formed a three-colored flame lotus and placed it in the center of the arena.

After doing all this, with a thought from Wang Yu, a coffin appeared from the ground as dust flew.

When the One-Eyed Dragon regained consciousness, Wang Yu immediately asked, “You’re One-Eyed Dragon?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Tell me, how did you die?” Wang Yu asked.

However, the One-Eyed Dragon’s next words shocked him again.

“I was killed by the people from the Abyss Church?” the One-Eyed Dragon said.

“What?” Hearing this, Wang Yu raised his voice, “The Abyss Church?!”

Wang Yu felt that things were getting out of hand.

“Yes, the Abyss Church,” the One-Eyed Dragon said expressionlessly.

Wang Yu frowned and continued to ask, “Why did you have a relationship with the Abyss Church?”

“I’m working for Park Changhye.”

“And she is a cardinal of the Abyss Church!”
