281: method

"You mean this thing can only grow stronger by killing people?"

Li Haotian's question caused the three to nod in succession; they knew of this thing's existence and origin.

If over ten billion people are slaughtered at once, there is a 1% probability of creating this Ghost Entity. Once created, it will begin searching for a Host.

After finding one and killing them, it can immediately obtain a large amount of resentment.

This fellow must do this to grow.

After pondering for a moment, Li Haotian began to press them again: Where does this ghost appear from? Where does it disappear to? Where does it go after devouring the previous Host?

The three revealed everything they knew: this Ghost Entity will possess the first person who approaches it.

It will use any means necessary to kill the other party, even if their strength far exceeds its own; it will think of every possible way, whether by manipulating emotions or other methods.

As Li Haotian pondered, he suddenly thought of Jia Dafu's abnormal behavior; that guy had acted like a madman, charging directly at him.

Moreover, his emotions were extremely unstable that day, as if he were provoking him to kill him.

If this had happened before, this scheme might have actually succeeded, but now that Li Haotian was a member of the Law Enforcement Team, he would not do that.

Upon learning that his son was killed by some kind of thing, he felt not anger, but extreme sorrow.

Li Haotian suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.

He hurried to the Law Enforcement Team and asked around to see if anyone had seen Jia Dafu.

"You won't be able to find that guy now. The day after you went to get reinforcements, he committed suicide due to extreme sorrow."

After they finished speaking, Li Haotian felt a chill run through his entire body. That terrifying thought struck his mind again: the Ghost Entity wouldn't continue to find others to harm, would it?

"Has anyone died or disappeared inexplicably recently?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, which had previously only had one Law Enforcement Team member paying attention to him, all turned to stare at him.

Then, they each held up the Materials in their hands.

"These are all it!"

Li Haotian's mouth twitched wildly; the situation had clearly exceeded his expectations. The Ghost Entity was currently growing frantically.

"We haven't come into contact with higher-level Powerhouses, and we have no way to judge what level it has grown to, but it is definitely something we cannot handle."

The three, Ghost One and the others, were trembling with fear and shook their heads repeatedly.

They certainly knew what kind of strength this terrifying existence possessed; once they opposed it, death was certain.

The only solution was to kill the person it possessed the moment it transferred to them.

Otherwise, once it grew to the point where it could possess even more terrifying Powerhouses with heaven-defying Cultivation, it would bring about a catastrophe.

It would not control that Powerhouse to commit suicide, but rather to attack those around them. As long as it possessed a Soul that could obtain resentment, it could continue to grow, even from the people it killed.

Li Haotian gritted his teeth and walked toward the core area of the royal city, where King Anbei's palace was located.

The entire palace did not allow any men to appear; whether they were guards, sentries, or servants, everyone was female.

King Anbei was sitting alone in her garden, brewing and silently sipping spiritual tea.

"Your Majesty, the city hasn't seemed peaceful lately; many people have been dying inexplicably."

King Anbei nodded; she had naturally already heard rumors of such matters.

She was just still investigating the results and did not know the cause.

"What do you think of this matter?"

King Anbei raised the spiritual tea and took a gentle sip, an expression of extreme satisfaction appearing on her face.

The female Cultivators kneeling before her were all trained by her personally.

King Anbei treated them as the sharpest sword by her side; whether it was gathering information or carrying out assassinations, they were all experts.

"We have not yet found any leads on this matter."

"However, based on current evidence, it should be man-made."

"Because the Realm of these Cultivators has gone from low to high, and now it has reached the level of a Golden Immortal."

Everyone had a helpless expression; they simply couldn't investigate anything, as they had never encountered such an evil entity before.

Just then, someone forcefully broke into the palace, and the entire palace rang with an extremely piercing alarm.

Li Haotian dodged and weaved through the encirclement of these female Cultivators, bypassing everyone and finally escaping into this garden.

Seeing the disheveled Li Haotian, King Anbei was slightly stunned. The others were also stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, drew their swords, and charged at him.

"Wait!"

Seeing that the intruder was Li Haotian, King Anbei hurriedly waved her hand to stop everyone.

This guy absolutely could not be harmed; even she had to treat him well because she suspected that Li Haotian might be a figure from a higher-level plane.

Except for King Anbei, everyone stared at the visitor before them with vigilant eyes.

Li Haotian looked at everyone's expressions and rubbed his temples helplessly.

"I already know what is going on; this thing is called a Ghost Entity."

Li Haotian said everything he knew, and those present were greatly shocked upon hearing it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. According to what you say, this fellow has no weaknesses at all, and one person must be sacrificed to kill it."

Li Haotian shook his head upon hearing this.

"There is indeed a method, but it is very dangerous. As long as this fellow cannot come into contact with any living organism within three days, it will perish on its own."

"Because no matter how much energy it has inside, it will stay within a certain limit. Any excess energy is used by it to upgrade itself, making it stronger."

"The small portion of energy left behind is to allow it to find the next Host, but if no one approaches it or lets it parasitize them within three days, it will have no other options."

Since Li Haotian had stated this method, it proved he had a plan.

"Since that is the case, please tell us the method, Young Master, and we will definitely cooperate fully."

King Anbei dropped a bombshell as soon as she spoke.

After hearing what she said, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

The crowd looked at each other, but no one dared to ask or object, just watching the two of them quietly.

"This method is very simple; it just requires some regional isolation."

"Divide the entire royal city into major sections using different barrier Formations."

"The more barriers you use, the fewer people will die."

"Whichever barrier has people dying continuously, that proves the Ghost Entity is hiding within it."

"In a few days at most, we can discover that fellow's hiding place, and then after three days of lockdown, it will completely disappear."
