A naturally-formed Special Item, it is quite a unique one among Special Items.

The effects are special, yet don’t have too severe side effects.

From the description, it seems that a Spell Array could be formed by passing light through the jade, to extract the Remnant Soul from a living being or a corpse.

It also made Wu Heng understand why the Necromancer from the Heaven Destiny Cult could release so many ferocious Ghosts.

“He must have relied on this Special Item, this guy’s luck is really not bad to be able to obtain such a thing.”

Actually, come to think of it, this guy had a lot of ordinary Ghosts, but not one like Xiao Xiao and Glenda, the kind of Ghosts that retain consciousness from before death.

Having complete intelligence and communication abilities is very important for both Ghosts and Attendants.

He looked at the description of the Special Item again.

It is possible to extract a Remnant Soul from a living being or a corpse.

“Do Zombies count? They should, since they can be converted into Skeletons, they shouldn’t be excluded as corpses.”

If Zombies do count, then he would have an endless supply of Remnant Souls.

Even if, judging by the name, Remnant Souls might not be complete Ghosts, the quantity should be sufficient.

Moreover, the incident with the Heaven Destiny Cult’s Necromancer indeed served as a wake-up call for him.

The Ghosts’ levels were insufficient, and they were easily consumed by other Necromancers’ Ghosts.

As a result, throughout the battle, Wu Heng didn’t dare to let Xiao Xiao out, nor did he allow ‘Glenda’ to stray too far from him.

Upgrading the Ghosts would also be on his to-do list.

Moreover, the other party’s tactic of releasing a large number of Ghosts to control the movements of others nearby seemed quite formidable.

That, too, might be worth studying.

Then, Wu Heng continued to take out a variety of other items and props.

Moneybag, daily necessities, some armors and weapons, probably prepared for the Necromancer Attendants.

Besides these, there were some props, badges, and a Skill Book.

Not even a single Elixir.

It makes sense, since the other party is a Corpse Ghost, their body no longer counted as living, and they would not absorb any Elixirs if taken.

Wu Heng glanced at the props he had taken out, all items that would amplify a Necromancer’s abilities.

Compared to the equipment on his own body, these were much inferior.

Especially the Robe and the belt, which were rewards for First-Class Merits from the association.

A newly established, hiding Great Knight obviously couldn’t be compared with him.

They could be donated to the association, or sold through some channels to earn some money.

Next, Wu Heng’s gaze fell on the Skill Book.

The only one, and it appeared somewhat old.

[Coffin of Earth Skill]
(Description: Can form a coffin of earth to envelop the body and sink into the ground. While underground, injuries and spiritual power can be slowly recovered, but oxygen is sparse.)
An earthen coffin envelopment, sinking into the ground.

It seems to be the Skill he had used before.

Does this belong to the Necromancy Sect as well?

After becoming a Corpse Ghost, the body is transformed by Necromantic Power, and Spells can only be learned from the Necromancy Sect, unable to learn from other Sects.

Related to coffins, it indeed fits the Necromancy Sect’s characteristics.

He skimmed through it briefly, not looking in detail.

He would examine it closely and unlock the Skill when he got back.

Whether it’s useful or not, learn it first.

The last item was an Emblem.

From its design, it bore religious characteristics.

“It should be the Emblem of the Heaven Destiny Cult; the Cult isn’t very famous, but the Emblem already exists.”

After glancing at everything, anything useless was thrown into a nearby trash can.

The rest was all put away.

Even if he doesn’t have much use for the other props, at least the Space Ring was good, 20 cubic meters.

It’s quite rare to come by outside.

Thump thump thump~!

After resting in the study for a while, the door was gently knocked on.

A staff member peeked in and upon seeing Wu Heng, said, “Island Master, the Steward requests you to go to the morgue.”

“Alright, thank you.”

The staff member showed a smile, “It’s what I’m supposed to do.”

Wu Heng stood up and followed the staff member out.

…

Walking down the stone steps.

Coming out of the staircase, he saw Xi Ligui and two Investigators from the association standing not far away.

Wu Heng walked over and asked, “Is Shi Yali okay?”

“Much better, just quite scared. After all, she just came here and hasn’t experienced these things before. A few days of rest will do.” Xi Ligui promptly replied.

“Good, as long as there’s no problem. Write a report to the association these days about the Ghosts, ask if there are any items that can restrain Ghosts and bring some over, or buy some if needed.”

“Alright, I’ll write it down and send it with the report.” She continued, looking at the corpses and said, “Perform Wenshi, whether we question the Ghosts or not, we will see.”

This was because they didn’t trust the Necromancer.

Questioning Ghosts could be limitless but there is no guarantee that their answers are true or false.

Wenshi, on the other hand, is different; it uses the memories of the corpse before death, unless the corpse itself received false news, it won’t deliberately lie or fabricate facts.

“You’re the Steward, it’s your call, where do we start?”

“This one!”

Wu Heng directly cast [Communicate with the dead], and the corpse sat up.

Murky eyes looking at everyone.

Wu Heng gestured to her, and Xi Ligui stepped forward and directly asked, “Do you have any other people outside?”

The corpse answered, “At the dwelling last night, we left behind some carrion.”

Carrion?

It seems they didn’t expect to have an accident today.

When a Necromancer dies, whether it’s carrion or skeleton attendants, they would also perish.

“What was your purpose for coming to the island?”
