Oseus's Death

"Thanks to Konstantin Company's new Visual Enhancement Device, we no longer have to carry around those bulky five or six-pound gadgets to catch ghosts."

Oseus, as usual, flattered the sponsor, then put on his special glasses. Because of Dunn's popularity, the original "most failed product" had already sold out, and Konstantin Company did not continue to manufacture it because of the hot sales. Instead, they launched a lighter, and of course more expensive, new model.

That is, the clothes and glasses he was wearing at that moment.

Viewers who have watched many ghost-hunting videos have gained some experience. Those who feel dizzy immediately exit the streamer's perspective and watch from a third-person or holographic viewpoint, while those who can tolerate the enhanced visuals follow the streamer and use the enhanced vision to see the Gambling Ghost.

Many viewers were curious at this point: why activate the enhanced visual module when they had already spotted the Gambling Ghost? But as their senses became more engaged, the comments section exploded with excitement.

Only then did they realize that the Gambling Ghost playing dice, under augmented vision, was actually a 3D projection, and inside the dice cup he was constantly shaking was a "Dice Monster" with a large number of eyes.

[Holy crap! What's going on?!]

[Was that Gambling Ghost who could be seen a fake?]

[Wow, after watching so many ghost-hunting shows, this is the first time I've encountered something like this.]

So the dice are the Main Body?

The comments section was filled with all sorts of remarks, but Oseus simply smiled slightly, approaching with the Chocolate Sword in hand as he spoke:

"As we all know, ghosts are formed from human [Observation Information]. Of course, in more metaphysical terms, it can be broadly referred to as [obsession]. When a living being dies, the obsession of the deceased and those around them with it will, under certain coincidences, form a relatively stable Quantum Cloud, which is what we call a ghost."

[Your boss has said this many times already!]

Seeing the comments, Oseus remained calm and continued speaking:

"It is precisely because of this obsession that ghosts take on all sorts of bizarre shapes, and the objects they haunt also differ. For example, if a fan still longs for their idol before death, the ghost they become will be devoted to that idol. And based on their 'feelings' for that idol, or to put it more coldly, desires or emotions, the ghost's form will also change accordingly, such as having huge eyes. Those who were particularly fierce in life, such as assassins or soldiers, if they become ghosts, will become weapons or fists. And such ghosts are often very dangerous because they usually crave battle and killing."

[Holy crap, I think I know why Burrlett's ghost hand is so powerful!]

[Damn! Now that you put it that way, I understand!]

[Wait a minute, according to this logic, if the Lustful Ghost dies, wouldn't that mean...]

[Cough cough...]

As the saying goes, everything turns to hardship, and seeing the Live Broadcast Room going out of control, Oseus quickly said:

"In short, as a Gambling Ghost, its true focus is definitely not on itself, otherwise it wouldn't be in the casino. In other words, it shouldn't be in such a humanoid form, which is why I concluded that this humanoid form is fake."

[The host's insightful comment!]

[So how do we catch it?]

[Sneak attack on the dice cup with Chocolate Sword?]

"No, let's keep fighting the Humanoid Ghost," Oseus said, as if kicking something into his arms, before grabbing the Chocolate Sword and slashing at the ghost playing with dice.

Seemingly sensing something, the demon, who had been concentrating intently, immediately turned its head and dodged the chocolate that was slashing from its side.

Seeing this, Oseus immediately changed tactics, forcing the ghost away from the dice cup while explaining to the viewers in the Live Broadcast Room:

"Ghosts are divided into different classes. The strongest are those that can appear and disappear freely. They have intelligence close to that of humans, but they are more persistent than humans because they are themselves made of 'obsession'."

"The weaker ones are also highly intelligent, but they can only be observed by sentient beings, and cameras and video cameras cannot capture their traces at all, unlike the former which can do so with ease."

"The third tier is the weakest. Not only do they have little Combat Power, but their intelligence is also low. They are basically supported by only one obsession, and even their instincts are extremely weak. Once they are locked onto by a certain number of eyes, they cannot even move."

"This Gambling Ghost in front of us can move under the watchful eyes of the Live Broadcast Room and is clearly trying to dodge; he's already close to being a second-tier monster. We must be extremely careful when dealing with this kind of target."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed his move, and as he swung the Chocolate Sword in his hand, a faint sound of air being cut was produced.

The Gambling Ghost in human form was forced to defend himself by the Sword Technique, and if he was not careful, he would be hit hard.

The ghost hit by the chocolate didn't show any obvious external injuries, but rather seemed to be half-burned by a red-hot iron, twitching violently a few times. Just as Oseus was beating the ghost so badly that it was running away with its head in its hands, the dice cup, which had been silent until now, suddenly cracked open, and a strange die with tentacles and twenty-one eyes shot towards Oseus.

The chat fell silent instantly, but Oseus, who was clearly prepared, shouted—

"We've been waiting for you!"

As the sound faded, a powerful strike followed, but instead of using the blade, he slammed it down horizontally, knocking the dice to the ground. Simultaneously, his left hand reached into his pocket, pulling out a small net that looked like it was used to scoop goldfish, and scooped it up with it—

"Bingxixix Catch Ghost Special Preservative Film, inexpensive and easy to use, order now and enjoy..."

Before Oseus could finish speaking, the die wrapped in Preservative Film suddenly emerged from Preservative Film, and a dozen thread-like tentacles pierced into his body.

The highly popular livestreaming e-commerce host froze instantly, her rosy complexion turning deathly pale.

He looked up at the Live Broadcast Drone floating in the air and said with a look of despair:

"Counterfeit and shoddy goods are deadly..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud.

Amidst the comments of over 100,000 viewers, the once spirited livestreaming host began to rapidly wither, her skin becoming wrinkled and dry, and her eye sockets sunken in an indescribable way. In a very short time, a desiccated corpse, as if just pulled from a pyramid, appeared before countless viewers.

No one could believe that this withered, charred corpse had only been dead for a dozen seconds...

Countless comments flooded the Live Broadcast Room, but the broadcast wasn't shut down despite the incident, seemingly as if they wanted to squeeze the last drop of popularity out of the streamer...
