Chapter 243 Hiding Shadows and Solving Puzzles

The other evil ghost, the Shadow Ghost, comes from the sacrifice of missionaries.

This evil ghost is not very powerful, and its killing pattern is also very common, but there is one special thing, that is, the body of this evil ghost is attached to the shadow of the ghost rider.

Unlike most evil ghosts, after being controlled, they will attach themselves to the body of the ghost driver.

So while studying the shadow ghost, Wang Xiaoming thought of the contract driving he was studying. Could the two be combined?
The ghost rider who uses the contract to control the evil spirit can put the evil spirit into his own shadow. This way he does not have to endure the erosion caused by close contact with the evil spirit, and can also use the evil spirit's ability conveniently.

This idea made Wang Xiaoming very excited. He immediately began to study shadow ghosts and soon mastered the knowledge of evil spirits possessing shadows.

After some simple experiments, he confirmed the feasibility of his idea and that he could really combine the two.

"Shadow Hiding Ghosts and Contract Driving are very compatible. It will probably be done in a few days. Besides, the research on Contract Driving will be completed in the next few days."

"Fortunately, these days, there are ghost riders who come to our house to serve as test subjects, which saves us a lot of trouble."

In the lounge, Wang Xiaoming sat on the sofa, thinking about several recent supernatural experiments. Various small results appeared one after another, which not only enriched the exchange list of the headquarters, but also provided him with a lot of knowledge reserves for his research on contract driving.

This allowed Wang Xiaoming to quickly advance the research progress of contract management.

The spiritual runes accumulated in these few days alone have far exceeded the total number of runes accumulated before, and the number of repeated runes encountered is also increasing. All signs indicate that Wang Xiaoming has mastered most of the spiritual runes.

"In addition to the supernatural runes, I have also mastered a lot of tiny runes and giant runes. So can I try to create my own evil spirit?"

An idea suddenly popped up in Wang Xiaoming's mind. To put it simply, the structure of a ghost is composed of a bunch of runes. If he combines these runes according to his own understanding, can he create a brand new ghost?

The first step is to combine the supernatural runes together. This is not difficult for Wang Xiaoming, and it can be done by the supernatural transformation formation.

The working principle of the supernatural transformation array is to transform supernatural runes. Wang Xiaoming used this ability to make some supernatural items before.

“This is a rather challenging project. I can give it a try later!”

Wang Xiaoming was not impatient to verify this hypothesis. He understood that even if it was feasible, it would not be achieved in a short time. It would be better to deal with the current problems first.

Jingle Bell!
In the lounge, the phone suddenly rang. It was Zhou Tong calling.

"Professor! Zhou Zheng has already made an appointment with the headquarters for the healing formation. The time is 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."

As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Tong reported the news.

Ever since Wang Xiaoming asked him to keep an eye on Zhou Zheng, Zhou Tong has been keeping this matter in mind. Now after getting the news, he immediately started to report it.

"Okay! You keep an eye on that side, and when Zhou Zheng comes out of the healing formation tomorrow, bring him to the laboratory." Wang Xiaoming ordered.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaoming tapped the table in front of him and thought, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. After the contract is perfected, let Zhou Zheng experience it! The starving ghost is too powerful. If the physical body controls the evil ghost, it will not be able to fully tap the potential of the starving ghost."

"The contracted evil spirit can put the hungry ghost into the shadow, allowing the hungry ghost to exert stronger power."

The next day, around 10:30 a.m.,

The medical team at the headquarters is still very busy, with ghost riders coming in and out from time to time. It has obviously become the busiest department at the headquarters.

"Please come in, number 38..."

There was a signal in the hall, and immediately a ghost rider stood up from the rest area and walked towards the depths of the hall.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng also completed his own treatment, completely eliminated the evil spirit's invasion, and walked out from the depths of the hall.

"Where are you going next?"

After the treatment, Zhou Zheng's humanity overwhelmed his ghost nature. He began to think about where to go since he had finally arrived in Dajing City.

"Zhou Zheng! Here..."

Not long after walking out of the medical team, Zhou Zheng, who was thinking, was suddenly awakened by a shout. Zhou Zheng thought it sounded familiar, so he looked in the direction of the voice and saw a somewhat familiar face.

After a little thought, Zhou Zheng remembered this man's identity - Professor Wang's driver, a very powerful ghost rider. Especially the haunted taxi, which left a deep impression on Zhou Zheng.

"Hello!" Zhou Zheng walked over with some confusion, "Are you calling me?"

Zhou Tong nodded and said, "Professor Wang wants to see you and asked me to wait for you here."

"Professor Wang wants to see me?!"

Zhou Zheng stood there in a daze, repeating in his mouth with a look of disbelief on his face.

After all, Zhou Zheng was very self-aware of Wang Xiaoming's status and his own status. At this time, he thought he had heard it wrong.

"It's true!" Zhou Tong was not surprised by Zhou Zheng's reaction. "Come with me quickly. Don't keep the professor waiting for too long!"

Zhou Zheng was finally sure that he had heard correctly. Although he didn't know why Professor Wang wanted to see him, Zhou Zheng had already started moving and followed Zhou Tong towards the laboratory.

On the way, the two of them took the initiative to chat, and Zhou Zheng asked a puzzled question: why did Professor Wang want to see an ordinary ghost rider like him?

Because Wang Xiaoming valued Zhou Zheng very much, Zhou Tong did not put on airs and chatted with Zhou Zheng in a gentle tone. As for the questions Zhou Zheng asked, Zhou Tong said he didn't know the answers and it would be better for him to ask himself when he got to the laboratory.

The two had the same surname and were both eager to make friends, so they quickly became familiar with each other and began to talk in a somewhat casual manner.

Zhou Tong took the initiative to reveal: "Although I don't know what the professor wants you to do, it must be a good thing, because the professor once said that you have great potential for training."

Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but feel very happy. All the worries in his heart disappeared and his steps became much lighter.

In the laboratory, Wang Xiaoming's real body is also here today. He and his two clones are studying contract driving and constantly debugging and optimizing it.

With the support of the main body, the research efficiency increased sharply. The three Wang Xiaomings were full of energy, and only the ghost riders who were used as research materials were trembling in fear.

This elite ghost rider had already made inquiries before coming here and knew some of the situation here, but he still couldn't help feeling scared.

Three identical Wang Xiaomings walked around him, looking at him with cold eyes, without any emotion. If he hadn't asked him to do something from time to time, he would have thought that Professor Wang had turned into a ghost. "Okay, the data has been collected, next..."

At some point, one Wang Xiaoming suddenly spoke, but before he finished, there was a noise. It turned out that Zhou Tong was leading Zhou Zheng here.

As soon as he entered the laboratory, Zhou Tong saw Wang Xiaoming working, so he didn't say anything and took Zhou Zhengxian to the corner to rest.

Wang Xiaoming paused for only a moment and quickly started the next step, helping the ghost rider to control the third evil ghost.

Looking at the three Professor Wangs busy in the laboratory, Zhou Zheng was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that the scene before him would appear. How could there be three Professor Wangs?
"Hehe...are you dumbfounded? This is the professor's ability to clone himself, and two of them are clones." Zhou Tong whispered on the side.

While Zhou Tong was doing science popularization, the experiment of controlling evil spirits began. With the help of the controlling formation, controlling the evil spirits was very smooth and there were no accidents.

The ghost rider only sat cross-legged in the center of the formation for a moment and successfully controlled the evil ghost opposite him.

Seeing this kind of scene for the first time was truly an eye-opener for Zhou Zheng.

After successfully controlling the evil ghost, Wang Xiaoming took the ghost driver for another physical examination. After finding no problems, he let him go.

Leaving his two clones to clean up, Wang Xiaoming came to the corner where Zhou Tong and the other man were resting.

"Professor!"*2
Seeing Wang Xiaoming coming, the two stood up and greeted him.

Wang Xiaoming waved his hand downward, motioning for the two to sit down, and he also sat down opposite them.

"Zhou Zheng, I called you here this time because the evil spirit you control is very special, and you are a promising talent, so I decided to support you. What do you think?"

Zhou Zheng's face flushed with excitement. He immediately stood up and said, "Professor, it's my honor."

In the spiritual world, who doesn't want to get Wang Xiaoming's help? This is a chance to reach the sky in one step. Even though Zhou Zheng is usually calm, he is extremely excited at this moment.

"Very good," Wang Xiaoming nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I have been researching a new method to control evil spirits recently, and it will soon be successful. By then, you two will become the first batch of new ghost controllers."

"Two? And me?" Zhou Tong asked in surprise.

Wang Xiaoming smiled and said, "I have been delaying the process of letting you control the third evil ghost because I wanted to make you a new ghost controller first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to transform you into a top ghost controller."

Zhou Tong chuckled, scratched his head and stopped talking.

"What is this new ghost rider? And what about the new method of controlling evil spirits that you mentioned? Professor, please enlighten me." Zhou Zheng asked doubtfully. He had never heard of the term new ghost rider.

Wang Xiaoming smiled faintly and said, "I just thought of this name to distinguish myself from the previous ghost riders who rode evil spirits."

"As for the new method of controlling evil spirits, let me keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you when there are results in a few days. Now let's test the evil spirit in you first to see how you will develop in the future."

Wang Xiaoming was unwilling to speak clearly, so Zhou Zheng naturally did not dare to ask more questions. So he talked about the evil ghost he controlled and introduced the abilities of the ghost baby in detail.

Zhou Tong, who was standing by, had a puzzled look on his face after listening to the story. This was mainly because Zhou Zheng's evil ghost was not very strong or special in the description, which was different from what he had imagined.

But the professor clearly said that Zhou Zheng's ghost has great potential, could it be that Zhou Zheng is lying? But Zhou Zheng doesn't look like that kind of person!

Zhou Zheng also knew his own situation, so after he finished his story, he said awkwardly, "Professor, I have explained all of the ghost baby's abilities, but I don't think it has anything special."

Wang Xiaoming smiled and shook his head, "Don't make a decision in advance. My perception will not be wrong. The evil spirit in your body is very special. You probably haven't found the correct way to use it yet."

"Let's go get a full body check first, then we can come to a conclusion!"

Wang Xiaoming naturally knew about the evil ghost in Zhou Zheng's body, but this information was obtained from the original novel. It would be difficult to explain if it was revealed directly. He also couldn't be sure whether this starving ghost was the same as the one described in the book, so it would be better to check it again.

Afterwards, Wang Xiaoming brought Zhou Zheng to the center of the laboratory, where his two clones had already prepared the instruments. When they saw Zhou Zheng coming, they immediately took various things and put them on him.

Zhou Zheng was busy dealing with the two clones. After a while, he couldn't tell which of the three Professor Wangs in front of him was the one who had led him here.

Zhou Tong did not leave. He was also very curious about Zhou Zheng's test results, so he stayed quietly in the corner of the laboratory.

Time passed, and after more than ten minutes, the inspection was over. The two clones helped Zhou Zheng remove the instruments hanging on his body, while Wang Xiaoming sat on the workbench to check the data just measured.

After writing down all the data, Wang Xiaoming started a new round of inspection. During the inspection, he also used the Eye of Prying Eyes to analyze evil spirits.

Time passed quickly and several hours passed. Wang Xiaoming and Zhou Zheng had no time to eat, so Zhou Tong went to the cafeteria to bring them food.

Uh... the difference is that he brought three meals for Wang Xiaoming because his two clones were also clamoring for food.

After dinner, the experiment started again. The test had been completed, and the next step was to analyze the evil spirits. Relying on three pairs of peeping eyes, Wang Xiaoming was able to analyze the spiritual runes very quickly.

In addition, the starving ghost is still in the state of a ghost baby and has not grown at all, so it is not difficult to analyze.

Finally, before dark, the mysterious runes contained in the starving ghost were completely analyzed. By this time, Zhou Tong had already left the laboratory because of boredom.

"Zhou Zheng, do you know why I said that the evil spirit you control is special?" After everything was over, Wang Xiaoming left his two clones to clean up the mess and left the laboratory with Zhou Zheng.

"I don't know. Please enlighten me, professor." Zhou Zheng said respectfully.

Wang Xiaoming said calmly: "After today's test, I have roughly understood the specific situation of the evil spirit in your body. The evil spirit in your body has a special growth ability, which is to eat ghosts."

"Eat ghosts???" Zhou Zheng was surprised: "But I have never felt that I have this ability?"

"It's not your fault. It's mainly because the ghost baby in your body is not mature yet. When it matures, you will feel its ability to eat ghosts."

Wang Xiaoming continued: "The potential of the evil spirit in your body is huge. It can grow by eating ghosts. It can almost be said that there is no limit, but..."

Zhou Zheng's face changed, and he followed Wang Xiaoming's words and said, "It's just that eating ghosts will bring me more evil ghosts and more pressure."

Wang Xiaoming nodded and said, "Not only that, your evil ghost can be said to be a starving ghost. When it starts to eat ghosts, it is not far from reviving. It may even revive directly in the process of eating ghosts."
