Chapter 325 Purgatory's New Ability, This is Simply an Old Capitalist!
"Is this... a soul?"
In Wang Changsheng's vision, the mass of deathly energy was floating on the sea. He could see it clearly, and within the flowing yin energy, it seemed to be brewing a soul filled with resentment.
"Has it already become a ghost?" Wang Changsheng tilted his head slightly.
At this moment, Little Wolf also noticed the situation there. His gaze sharpened, and his expression became somewhat serious.
Using the sound-transmitting flower hidden inside his arm, the little wolf subtly conveyed what he wanted to tell Wang Changsheng: "A ghost was actually born here, this child..."
Before the little wolf could finish speaking, Wang Changsheng understood what he meant: "Anyway, he can't see, so there's no need to worry. As for this ghost..."
As they were talking, several system notifications popped up in front of Wang Changsheng's eyes.
Message: You have triggered a new ability in Purgatory!
Purgatory
Description: A powerful Saint-level array. Its power will be greatly enhanced against species that possess the power of death.
Ability 1: When a target is placed within a magic circle, the circle is activated, and the target will suffer immense soul pain.
Ability 2: Purgatory can contain creatures and spirits that possess various negative powers. After absorbing them into the magic circle and suppressing them, it can provide Purgatory with a sustainable output of magic power, which can be used by the outside world.
PS: Species possessing the power of death refer to ghosts, zombies, ghouls, vampires, etc.
PS1: Purgatory does not cause any real damage, but it will have a great impact on the consciousness of the target unit.
PS2: You have to endure setbacks and give your all, look at your face, you might as well hang yourself from a street lamp!
Message: A low-level ghost that can be absorbed has been detected and can be suppressed directly!
Message: Do/Do not suppress the demon and place it in purgatory?
"Huh!"
The system's prompt left Wang Changsheng somewhat bewildered.
He never expected that after discovering this ghost, the Saint-level magic array Purgatory that he had recently obtained would undergo a new change, gaining an additional ability...
"Suppressing all kinds of beings possessing negative power?"
Wang Changsheng blinked, his first thought being that this magic circle seemed to be developing into a real purgatory.
"Wait a minute, it's not like I can't actually turn it into a hellhole!"
Wang Changsheng suddenly realized what was happening.
If he were to carve out a section within the World Tree space specifically for the development of this Saint-level magic array.
Over the years, he accumulated and collected ghosts and monsters.
Although its foundation is still a magic circle, how is it any different from a real purgatory?
And it can also be charged!
These are practically ghost batteries!
Moreover, most creatures possessing negative energy can be considered immortal beings that never die.
This……
Good news: It can be charged.
Great news: You can recharge your energy indefinitely for a lifetime.
Fantastic news: A lifetime is eternity!
This is incredible!
Capitalists must be absolutely thrilled!
Wang Changsheng chuckled and glanced at the PS2.
"You're right, the person who invented this formation should indeed be hung on the lamp, but what does the person who invented this formation have to do with me? I, Wang Changsheng, have always acted with integrity and honesty, and I would never do such crooked things!"
"I choose yes, suppression!"
In the blink of an eye, the ghost floating on the sea vanished.
Only a few scattered traces of deathly aura and lingering yin energy remained.
But without that ghostly aura, the lingering yin energy dissipated completely into the air with just a few gusts of sea breeze.
"Hmm? Changsheng, what do you think we should do with this ghost...?" Wang Changsheng abruptly stopped mid-sentence, leaving the little wolf somewhat puzzled.
He was about to send a telepathic message to inquire when he suddenly realized that the resentful ghost on the sea had vanished, which immediately startled him.
"Where's the ghost???"
Because the little wolf was filled with doubt and unease, his body swayed wildly. He looked left and right, but couldn't see where the ghost had gone.
Did he run away?
"No, I took it in." Wang Changsheng shook his head inwardly. "I saw that it harbored resentment, and I was afraid that keeping it would only cause trouble in the future, so I gave it a better place to go, so that it could shine and contribute to this beautiful world. It's also a way for it to accumulate merit, in case it can be reincarnated in the future?"
"0.o Huh?!"
Little Wolf was completely shocked by Wang Changsheng's statement.
"You took it? From this distance? And I couldn't even tell you used magic? And what merit did you accumulate? Reincarnation???"
The little wolf looked somewhat incredulous.
We're all the same age.
How come what you're saying has reached a point where I can neither understand nor comprehend it?
The little wolf suddenly became very silent.
He knew, and could sense, that Wang Changsheng was very strong.
He considered that his opponent might be able to defeat him easily.
However, he never imagined that Wang Changsheng's strength could be described as terrifying.
It's fine if he can't see through it.
Now he can't even understand his methods or what he says.
"Why are you so surprised? I'll explain it to you in detail when we get back to the room tonight." Seeing the little wolf's expression change from astonishment to blankness, Wang Changsheng could roughly guess what he was thinking. He couldn't help but smile and said telepathically.

Little Wolf didn't say anything more or make any other statement, seemingly acquiescing to Wang Changsheng's suggestion.
Just by looking at his slightly hurt and blank eyes, Wang Changsheng knew that this guy was definitely still pondering the philosophy of life.
Because system notifications kept popping up...
Message: Li Xiaolang's negative points increased by 100.
Message: Li Xiaolang's negative points increased by 100.
Message: From Li...
"What kind of expressions are those? Can you guys even communicate with your eyes?"
Just then, Conan, who was standing next to the two, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
Although he couldn't hear what Wang Changsheng and Xiaolang were communicating, he subtly sensed that since leaving the grove, while Wang Changsheng maintained a calm and collected demeanor, the expression on the face of the boy named Li Xiaolang beside him was quite varied.
"Could he be changing his expression?" Conan couldn't help but think of a traditional Chinese culture.
"What the hell, Conan? You're talking nonsense again." Wang Changsheng glanced at Conan, a smile playing on his lips. "What do you mean by communicating with your eyes? Even detectives on TV can't do that."
Wang Changsheng was delighted to discover the new abilities of the Saint-level magic circle and its promising future applications, so he didn't press Conan for further friendly conversation. He simply gave a brief reply and then stopped.
In just a short while, he discovered that the Saint-level magic circle in the World Tree space—Purgatory—had squeezed out some magic power from the ghost.
Although it's not much, just a very small amount.
But after all, it had only been such a short while.
Everything takes time and effort to accumulate.
Don't underestimate the small amount now; over time, it will naturally accumulate.
Wang Changsheng tried it out and drew that little bit of magic power out of the magic circle.
It went very smoothly and successfully.
The magic generated in purgatory can be used by him.
"Hahahaha! Another new way to accumulate magic power!" Wang Changsheng laughed wildly in his heart.
He looked at the ghost that was now suppressed in a corner of purgatory.
Although he didn't know which one Narumi had killed, he didn't care anymore.
Anyway, judging from their past experiences, none of them died unjustly.
They all deserve to be killed!
Even their deaths were too good for them.
Of course, things are different now. Wang Changsheng suddenly discovered that his Purgatory could actually generate magic by drawing on the power of the soul.
So once all these people are dead, he can smoothly collect them one by one into the purgatory and suppress them for eight or nine million years, until the chickens have pecked at the rice.
"You can be my power bank, hehehehe!"
Wang Changsheng felt a little excited.
"Conan, Conan, I'm not even a pure ghost cultivator yet. If I were a necromancer, wouldn't I be able to take off just by following you for a while?"
Tsk tsk tsk!
Forget about necromancers, even Wang Changsheng now wants to stay by Conan's side every day and never leave.
If for every person who dies, there is one more soul.
His purgatory will probably soon become a real hell, won't it?
"However, the space inside my little World Tree isn't big enough to create a purgatory specifically to house these guys yet. Let's hold off for now. It's not bad to occasionally follow Conan around and catch ghosts."
The dead are usually either heinous criminals, such as the actual rulers of the island.
Driven by profit, they trafficked drugs, directly or indirectly killing countless people and ruining countless families.
They're practically worthless; they'd be perfect for charging him up.
Even if that's not the case, they still deserve to die.
Besides, since he's already dead, instead of letting him dissipate into the world, we might as well use the energy to recharge him.
Just right.
This can be seen as making amends for the mistakes he made before.
"Sigh, Conan is the kind of guy who brings death wherever he goes. It's good to see him occasionally, but if you really stay by his side, it'll be bad luck."
Wang Changsheng only had that thought in mind; he didn't actually intend to do it.
After all, following him around to kill and solve cases is pointless. It would be better to spend more energy and time with Sakura to find the Clow Cards. Maybe that would even improve their relationship.
Wang Changsheng chuckled to himself, seemingly lost in thought.
"Huh? Wait a minute, are those footprints?"
Suddenly, Wang Changsheng, who was gazing into the distance, noticed what appeared to be a series of faint footprints on the beach.
Because they were still quite far from there, Conan didn't notice it immediately.
However, Wang Changsheng is bathed in a large amount of magic every day, and his eyesight has long surpassed that of normal humans.
So I saw it at a glance.
"Hey, Cheng Shi helped me earn magic power, how could I not help him out?" Wang Changsheng smiled slightly.
His finger subtly hooked the handle.
In an instant, a magical hand that Conan couldn't see appeared swiftly and flew to the beach where there were footprints.
"I'm wiping, I'm scrubbing, I'm splashing water everywhere!"
Soon, most of those traces were eliminated.
Don't be fooled by its magical hand shape; you could actually use it as a shovel too.
Of course, since it's a hand, there will still be some handprint marks.

But it's a small matter, nothing to worry about.
"Heh, the footprints disappeared and turned into handprints instead. Washing machine, can you still catch the real culprit?" At this moment, Conan walked in front of Wang Changsheng, who looked at the child's back with a playful smile.
"Chang Sheng, what are you trying to do...?"
Conan couldn't see the magical hand that Wang Changsheng summoned, but Syaoran could see it clearly.
And following the direction the magic hand flew, he also managed to observe a series of marks on the beach.
He couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Wang Changsheng, wanting to ask about the situation, but the latter gave him a look, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
So the little wolf fell silent.
There were dead bodies in the sea, and a trail of marks on the beach, clearly left by the murderer.
But Wang Changsheng then erased the traces, meaning he was helping the murderer destroy evidence, which is... covering it up...
"Could it be that Changsheng knows who the murderer is, and even knows him?" Little Wolf had many doubts in his mind.
But he believed that Wang Changsheng would not do anything evil.
Moreover, the soul born from that dead person looked extremely malevolent; he probably wasn't a good person when he was alive.
Although Little Wolf dislikes murderers, no matter who they are or what they did, one should not judge them based on one's own will.
But perhaps the murderer encountered some uncontrollable factors?
such as……
This person wanted to kill him, but was killed in self-defense. So he can't be considered a murderer; it's just self-defense.
Hey~ that's much more normal.
"Did Changsheng know this, which is why he chose to help that person erase the traces?"
With Wang Changsheng's attitude set beforehand, Little Wolf naturally found an excuse for the murderer.
"Chang Sheng is indeed Chang Sheng. I haven't discovered anything yet, but he has not only dealt with that ghost that was likely to do evil, but he has also figured out the whole case."
The little wolf couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Judging from this, that detective named Mori is nowhere near as good as Changsheng!"
He glanced at Conan in front of him.
"And this guy, even though Changsheng and I were out for a walk alone, he insisted on following us and kept asking questions. He's so annoying. Is this little kid trying to play detective games? I wonder if he'd be scared by a single look from a real, vicious murderer."
Although ordinary detectives could not possibly use magic like Wang Changsheng.
But Little Wolf just had this feeling that Uncle Mori wasn't really that powerful.
