Chapter 224: The Newspaper Ghost With Wisdom
The existence of three faces.
Wang Xiao Ming sighed in his heart. He knew that Tong Qian’s ghost had been controlled by that ghost.
It was even more than just Tong Qian’s ghost.
During the time in Da Jing City.
Three teams, no, four teams.
Ghost Painting, Ghost Messenger, Starving Ghost, and a team searching for the Coffin Nail.
The first three teams were all led by captain-level figures, and none of them suffered any losses.
But the team searching for the Coffin Nail was completely wiped out.
Xu Zhou was looking for an opportunity, but this opportunity was very hard to obtain.
The balance was gone. What Xu Zhou would face next was possibly the Ghost Messenger that had already broken through the four-digit quota, and the Starving Ghost that could rival the Ghost Messenger.
Once they clashed, Xu Zhou wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.
He was now walking on the tip of a knife, with a cliff below.
One wrong step, and there would be no chance to start over.
“Xu Ming, are all your club’s companions this outrageous?”
The woman looked at the man slowly walking forward in the mansion corridor.
The Ghost Messenger and Starving Ghost had already begun to move, yet he still didn’t leave.
“Xu Zhou, code name Ghost Melder. This is his code name for ghosts, and for people, it’s Human-Ghost Melder. Either works.”
“His own strength is second only to the president in the club.”
“I’ve seen the file. Back then in Da Jing City, the moment he walked out of the Ghost Painting, his strength was almost on par with the president.”
Xu Ming licked his lips. “Let me put it this way: the thing inside me wouldn’t dare show its head or swagger in front of him. It would be gone.”
The woman knew Xu Zhou was strong, but she didn’t expect him to possibly be strong to this extent.
“Can the two of us take him down together?”
Xu Ming turned back, looking at the woman with a puzzled expression:
“What are you talking about?”
“Do you think that escaping from Ye Zhen once means your escape methods are impressive?”
“Do you know? After your escape last time, the club immediately started a training session on how to prevent opponents from escaping.”
“Let me put it this way: the moment you meet him, if you don’t open Ghost Domain, you’re already at a disadvantage.”
“Now in the club, all Ghost Controllers who possess Ghost Domain keep themselves in Ghost Domain at all times.”
“When encountering an enemy, they instantly envelop them in Ghost Domain.”
Xu Ming exhaled.
The woman’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Are all the people in your club this extravagant?”
The woman added afterward: “Or rather, cautious.”
“You don’t understand. For them, keeping Ghost Domain open doesn’t waste much supernatural power. But if it’s not open, and you need it but can’t open it or it’s too late, that’s not a good thing.”
“You could say that to guard against being instantly killed, the people in the club take it very seriously.”
Xu Ming sighed.
“I feel like there’s something a bit off with the people in your club.”
The woman pointed to her head.
Xu Ming neither confirmed nor denied it, and didn’t continue the topic.
“What does that existence want to do? Why hasn’t it come to find us yet?”
“With wisdom, he should know that now is the best opportunity to leave.”
The woman stroked her chin. “Perhaps it wants to eat its fill.”
The resources inside the Ghost Painting had already been divided up almost completely.
That existence couldn’t compete with those two ghosts. It was already not easy to get some leftovers.
Want to eat its fill?
Don’t joke.
Surviving here was not an easy thing at all.
“…”
“Come out. I know you’re there. The rotten stench on you is too strong.”
“Moreover, your gaze is too direct.”
Xu Zhou stood in the corridor, looking ahead.
“Based on the knowledge I’ve gained, humans can’t sense gazes.”
Da da da.
Footsteps sounded from behind.
The voice also sounded from behind.
But Xu Zhou kept looking ahead, without turning his head.
The footsteps quickly approached, directly reaching behind him.
But strangely, a person slowly appeared ahead.
A person holding a rusty nail.
This was a person with three faces. The front face was a smiling face, the two side faces were a crying face and a face covered by a red newspaper.
The other party was very tall, wearing a windbreaker and leather shoes.
The eerie existence with three faces.
It looked extremely creepy.
Xu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly.
“You can communicate freely. You’ve obtained quite a few fierce ghosts here.”
There were ghosts that could speak, like Calling Ghost, Person-Calling Ghost, Bewitching Ghost… they could all make sounds.
These ghosts’ killing methods were to kill by calling people.
It’s not hard for a ghost to speak.
What’s hard is being able to communicate and understand what one is saying.
This is very difficult.
Wisdom isn’t something easily obtained.
Professor Wang had deduced that when a ghost controls more and more ghosts, the combination of patterns would likely grant a ghost wisdom.
Now this had been verified.
“Not many, not as many as those two kin.”
“Compared to them, I’m far behind. Their lower limit is very low, upper limit too high, so they haven’t developed wisdom even now.”
“Of course, if there was only one such kin here, it wouldn’t be my turn to have such complete wisdom.”
“Besides, I also have the advantage of first move. After all, before this, there were already many people’s memories in my mind.”
Xu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly.
“So, what do you plan to do by following me?”
Xu Zhou secretly assessed whether he could counter-kill the other party.
From the first moment he saw the other party, he knew the probability of him winning was very low.
But he had Ghost Domain. Even if the other party could tear it apart, it would take some time, though that time was frighteningly short.
But it was enough for him to deliver one attack.
“You’re stacking your own supernatural power. Hmm, very terrifying. Relax, I’m not here to kill you.”
The ‘man’ opposite raised his hands.
Xu Zhou didn’t speak, just quietly watched the other party.
At the same time, he paid attention to any echoing sounds.
Although he knew that the mobile phone made by Professor Wang had absorbed the case where supernatural power previously invaded the headquarters switchboard room through calls, and thus reformed it.
Now this mobile phone could avoid becoming a medium for supernatural transmission.
But still be careful.
After all, Professor Wang was just an ordinary person.
And at this moment, on Wang Xiao Ming’s side, Li Jun had already lit three red Ghost Candles.
They didn’t speak, just listening to the sounds from Xu Zhou’s side.
“I’ve come here to cooperate with you.”
“Cooperate?”
Xu Zhou’s eyes narrowed. “Do you think normal people would cooperate with a ghost?”
“Do you think you’re normal?”
Xu Zhou stared at that face that was always smiling.
He felt it was extremely creepy.
“Moreover, you have cooperated with ghosts before.”
Xu Zhou neither confirmed nor denied it.
Seeing the other party silent, the ‘man’ smiled.
“I’ve given myself a name, Li Zhe. What do you think?”
Xu Zhou frowned, somewhat puzzled.
What did this mean?
