Chapter 94: Chapter 94: The Sixth Destiny Draw, the Phantom Wraith!
The Torchbase, Fang You washed his hands, changed his clothes, and burned incense as usual, holding the smartphone loaded with the salvation game in both hands.
“It’s been less than a week since the last fate drawing, and here I am ready for another ten pull. I must say, quite fitting for me.”
“I remember the old times when it took about ten days to save up just nine fate points, but now I get one or two hundred a day, tsk, what a gap.”
“Who knows, maybe one day Torchbase will earn a million a day, or even an ‘exhilarating’ amount?”
Although he couldn’t imagine what earning an ‘exhilarating’ amount a day would look like, the future was uncertain.
There were great prospects for the organization’s future,
...
And now,
“With the improved odds, drawing an Apostle of Fate has become quite common. This time, I conservatively estimate I’ll get at least two Angel Envoys, right?”
“And given the odds this time, maybe, just maybe, I’ll actually draw a golden one.”
Wish for gold.
Fang You looked forward to it.
The most thrilling moment of a card-drawing game was here, although the thrill might not be from excitement; it could also be from cardiac arrest.
Come on!
Inside his bedroom, securely locked, Fang You watched his phone with eager eyes.
On the screen, the vortex of fate reappeared.
Within,
Shadows of green, blue, and purple flitted by, until a streak of gold light slowly blossomed.
There it was, a golden legend!
It seemed that a few other draws had also produced Angel Envoys, but Fang You didn’t pay much attention to them. He had seen plenty of Angel Envoys; now he just wanted to see what the first golden level would be.
Under the enveloping golden light, a black silhouette gradually took shape.
It was a round, golden orb.
It floated, rotating slowly.
“Obtained: Incomplete Lifeform – Spirit of Illusion (Gold)”
—-
“Spirit of Illusion (Gold)”
“Physique: 0”
“Spirit: 50”
“Description: The Spirit of Illusion is a special kind of life that does not possess a physical body. The current Spirit of Illusion is in an unborn state, completely blank.”
“Ability One: Illusory Shuttle”
“While in this state, the Spirit of Illusion can travel through information particles, thought waves, and so on, with Spatial Shuttle capabilities, and also possesses a super learning ability.”
“Ability Two: Incarnation Body”
“The Spirit of Illusion itself lacks the ability to interfere with reality but can serve as the incarnation body for the contractor, materializing the spiritual power of the Spirit of Illusion.”
“Ability Three: Core of Illusion”
“As long as the core is undamaged, the Spirit of Illusion will never perish and can be reborn from within the core. Conversely, if the core is destroyed, the Spirit of Illusion will instantly perish, no matter the distance.”
“Note: The current Spirit of Illusion is in an unborn state. Life energy can be infused to give birth to the Spirit of Illusion and leave one’s own mark.”
As the fate card drawing came to an end, the vortex faded away.
A streak of golden radiance appeared in front of Fang You and slowly materialized into a golden orb.

This was the Core of Illusion.
It was both the core and an egg.
He reached out, cradling the golden orb, and slowly infused it with his own life energy.
One drop, two drops, three drops…
The cold orb in his hand gradually warmed up and emitted a faint glow.
It was just a pale light; it was still far from being born.
Fang You gritted his teeth and continued to infuse energy.
After ten seconds, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
After twenty seconds, his face turned pale.
After thirty seconds, his eyes sunk in and his hands grew weak.
When his entire body felt drained, at last, the golden orb blazed with brilliant light.
Gurgling and rotating, it slowly took flight.
“Ding~”
A golden figure flew out from within the orb, roughly humanoid, but very transparent and blurry.
This was a newborn Spirit of Illusion, it had nothing and knew nothing.
It couldn’t even squeak.
But according to the description, it possessed a very strong learning ability.
Fang You pointed to the nearby smartphone, the one he was using, “Learn some common knowledge about daily life, current affairs.”
“Do you understand?”
He tried, though he was not certain.
But the Spirit of Illusion moved, its form turned into a beam of light that shot straight into his smartphone and disappeared.
Fang You picked up the phone and turned it over, there was nothing unusual… If he had to say anything, it was as if the phone had become smoother, perfect for playing games on the highest settings.
He tapped it again, and a golden light appeared on the phone’s interface.
Then, presumably having learned common knowledge, the vague, outline-only golden light slowly transformed in front of him, ultimately taking the shape of a complete human figure.
Black stockings, a short skirt, absolute territory.
Wait, was something not right?
Looking at the ‘black-haired girl’ on the phone interface, Fang You fell into thought.
Too hasty!
…
“Can’t it take on another form?”
The Spirit of Illusion had already left the phone, manifesting as a lithe girl standing barefoot before him.
Although it was just a wisp of light and shadow.
Hearing Fang You’s words, the Spirit of Illusion changed instantly, from a black-stockinged girl to a… white-stockinged girl.
Fang You: “…”
Forget it, just go with it.
What he wanted to study now was the Spirit of Illusion’s ability. Since it could enter a phone, could it possibly…
“Can you shuttle through cyberspace and gather information?”
The Spirit in white stockings nodded, “No problem, master!”
Fang You: “…”
Flame Base had a network.
He didn’t understand the underlying principles, but on his first day, when he took out his phone to gather materials for study, a game interface option popped up asking whether to open network access.
At this moment, the Spirit of Illusion became a beam of light again, diving into his phone.
Then, information on Mysterious Evil from various locations appeared in the form of documents one after another, far more numerous and reliable than what Fang You had found online.
The Spirit of Illusion even transmitted some internal documents from the investigative bureau.
It was like a cyber ghost, moving freely through the network, filtering out the chaff and capturing the essence.
“With the Spirit of Illusion, Flame Base can finally fill the gaps in intelligence information.”
“That alone is of great value.”
Before this, Flame Base was not completely without information.
Whether detecting the location of Mysterious Evil or understanding Mysterious Evil, Awakenings, and the mystical, he believed they were at the forefront of the world.
In possession of the upper echelon’s information.
But the foundation was completely lacking; he hadn’t even known about ‘common knowledge’ like the Mysterious Evil Hunter until he drew out Shocking Thunder.
Compared to the investigative bureau, he was like a blind man, hampered in everything he did.
But now,
“With the Spirit of Illusion’s assistance, many of my ideas can be realized, and furthermore…”
“I’ve always had a headache over one issue: as the number of Apostles increases, my ability as the Flame Instructor is increasingly inadequate. The contribution system I envisioned before couldn’t really be implemented since we lacked a management assistant.”
“But if we could let the Spirit of Illusion act as the brain of Flame Base, all this would become possible.”
Fang You called the Spirit of Illusion back and pointed to another device, an old phone that now served as the container for the salvation game.
He gestured for the Spirit of Illusion to merge into it.
The Spirit in white stockings nodded obediently, and in the next moment, turned into a ray of light.
Bang~!
It was ejected and tumbled to the floor, rubbing its posterior, eyes brimming with tears.
A prompt also appeared on the salvation game.
‘Ding!’
‘Prompt: Special life form ‘Spirit of Illusion’ detected entering, grant subordinate permissions?’
