Chapter 25: The Second Support
If it were outside, he would unhesitatingly kill Liu Yi, even if she was International Police.
But now he needed her, so any dissatisfaction had to be swallowed.
Otherwise, he would die here.
Lin Qian saw the seriousness in Liu Yi’s eyes, and without even turning back, he knew what was behind him.
The ghost did not act immediately, for a simple reason: no one here had triggered the ghost’s killing pattern.
This ghost prioritized attacking males.
“Sorry.”
Liu Yi was also helpless; she had no idea what was going on.
Clearly, survivors could leave the ghost domain without provoking pursuit from the fierce ghost.
But why, when it came to Lin Qian, did it chase him?
This ghost controller wasn’t hiding in a woman’s body…
Wait…
Liu Yi suddenly understood something.
Her face darkened. “You’ve already triggered the ghost’s killing pattern. The ghost won’t let you leave!”
Hearing this, Lin Qian showed no surprise at all.
He was very clear about his situation. Even hiding in Zhang Baihui’s body, he was still the primary target of the fierce ghost’s attacks.
But because he had hidden, the ghost wouldn’t attack him directly, nor would it let him leave.
He had successfully avoided the fierce ghost’s killing pattern.
But not completely avoided it.
Lin Qian checked his condition—it was very bad. He couldn’t confront this ghost again.
At most, he could borrow a body to rebirth one more time.
He had to leave himself enough time to suppress the fierce ghost revival.
Otherwise, even if he went out, he would be targeted by the ghost performer.
But leaving directly now would be suicidal; the location he would leave from was too close to the ghost domain. That ghost had locked onto him and could envelop him in the ghost domain again at any time.
So he had to wait until those survivors were far from the ghost domain before considering leaving here.
Lin Qian glanced deeply at Liu Yi.
He said nothing and turned to look behind him.
He saw a woman with deathly pale skin, disheveled hair, and blood dripping all over, standing barefoot with blackened feet on the street.
Her abdomen had a ferocious wound, with rotten intestines spilling out and dragging on the ground.
Chilling cold enveloped the surroundings, making the environment even darker and more eerie.
“This ghost has become even more terrifying.”
Lin Qian just glanced at those blackened bare feet and immediately understood the situation.
The first time they met, her feet were still pale and bleeding.
Back then, her terror level was far from what it was now.
But after killing all the males in the ghost domain, her terror level had nearly doubled.
Currently, this ghost’s terror level had absolutely reached A-grade.
This was already a genuine A-grade supernatural event.
Both in terms of danger and terror, it was in the realm of A-grade supernatural events.
If this ghost wasn’t dealt with and allowed to keep growing, it would absolutely become an S-grade supernatural event.
Before, with his strength controlling two ghosts, he could barely fight it a little.
But now, he didn’t even dare to take one attack from it.
“Right now, we haven’t directly triggered its killing pattern.”
“If it wants to kill us, it can only use ghost slaves or direct contact.”
Lin Qian’s cold voice rang out.
“So, I can’t leave this body, or we’ll instantly trigger its killing pattern.”
“With this ghost’s current terror level, one attack would be enough to kill us.”
Lin Qian slowly retreated backward. As his words fell, as if confirming them, dense footsteps sounded around them again.
Liu Yi looked at the back in front of her and knew he was telling the truth.
She didn’t refute and also retreated slowly.
“Let’s go first. While this body is still alive, let’s find the ghost domain exit.”
Hearing this, Liu Yi didn’t hesitate. She activated her supernatural power and searched for the ghost domain exit again.
Soon, she found the passage connecting the ghost domain to the outside world again.
“Follow me!” Without hesitation, Liu Yi turned and ran.
Lin Qian quickly followed.
As they fled, those footsteps in the darkness hurriedly followed.
But the source ghost slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Though disappeared, it was always there, waiting for Lin Qian to expose himself.
Zhang Baihui’s body couldn’t hold out much longer; supernatural power was like cancer to ordinary people.
It wouldn’t be long before this body completely turned into a corpse.
The moment it became a corpse would be when Lin Qian faced the fierce ghost head-on.
The two ran wildly toward the endless street.
Headquarters.
Zhao Jianguo frowned as he listened to the conversation on the walkie-talkie.
“Arrange it. Investigate the ghost controllers in Jiang City. See if any match. I want to know who this ghost controller is.”
This ghost controller who could hide in a person’s body had an unusual ability.
Able to attempt to detain a fierce ghost together with three ghost controllers, and though it failed, he survived—this was already not to be underestimated.
But the things he did to survive were a bit…
Though Zhao Jianguo understood, he didn’t support it—at least not openly.
Strength, mentality—this ghost controller had both. He just needed headquarters training to go on duty directly.
A talent, a real talent—headquarters could make an exception for him.
With Zhao Jianguo’s order, someone immediately began the investigation.
“Has support arrived?” Zhao Jianguo asked.
“Already here, now outside the ghost domain. They just encountered survivors who escaped the ghost domain and have arranged for those survivors to be isolated and investigated.”
Hearing this, Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. “Have her handle this supernatural event as soon as possible.”
“Understood, Captain.”
This time, headquarters had dispatched a capital official.
This ghost controller was the person in charge of Da Jing City. Her strength went without saying; she was fully capable of handling an A-grade supernatural event.
This time, they had learned the killing pattern in advance and taken measures to avoid it. Though this ghost was tricky, this ghost controller had encountered even trickier supernatural events before.
“When she returns, have her go see Professor Wang. Her fierce ghost revival is approaching. The Minister has approved it, so she can go without worry.”
Zhao Jianguo was even starting to arrange follow-up matters, fully confident she could handle this supernatural event.
“Understood, Captain.”
Da Jiang City.
Outside the ghost domain.
A gaunt woman stood roadside, smoking, her lifeless numb eyes staring at the deep ghost domain.
One by one, shaken survivors, after simple screening, were immediately sent away from here to isolation points for secondary screening.
Listening to the voices from her earphones, Jiang Liuli’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“I understand. I will temporarily cut off contact to avoid my supernatural power affecting the relay room.”
After saying that, she directly turned off her satellite positioning mobile phone. Until she chose to restore communications herself, headquarters wouldn’t forcibly activate the phone’s communications or eavesdropping.
Her ghost was very terrifying, with a bizarre killing pattern.
Headquarters knew this well, so her actions were fine.
After confirming the satellite phone was off, she took out another mobile phone and dialed a number.
