Chapter 248: Plan
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qian could only nod with a slight sigh: “Thinking about it this way, Senior’s alternate personality isn’t bad at all. Although his personality is a bit eccentric, he doesn’t seem to have any malice toward humans. He even saved me a few times under the Ghost Ship.”
After saying that, he looked at Yue Linhai and hesitated to speak, as if there was something he didn’t want to say directly.
Yue Linhai noticed Zhang Qian’s expression but didn’t think much of it, saying flatly: “What’s wrong? If there’s any problem, just bring it up together. The time flow rate here is different from the outside world. Even staying a bit longer won’t affect solving the Ghost Ship matter.”
Hearing Yue Linhai’s words, Zhang Qian no longer hesitated and curiously raised his question: “What’s the situation with that Little Linhai now?”
Although it was a question, Zhang Qian already had a vague answer in his heart.
Split Personality this condition is indeed a difficult problem in modern society, and for people from a hundred years ago, it’s even more like an unsolved mystery.
However, while doctors from the Republic of China Era couldn’t solve this problem, it doesn’t mean Yue Linhai, as a Ghost Controller, couldn’t.
Compared to science, Supernatural is undoubtedly even more unreasonable.
According to Zhang Qian’s understanding, the power of Supernatural can not only act on the body, but also has more profound and terrifying power that can directly act on a person’s consciousness.
And Yue Linhai had also said that not solving the alternate personality was simply because over these many years, the other had hidden very well without showing any flaws.
Now that he knew of Little Linhai’s existence and had even suffered a loss, Yue Linhai might have already developed killing intent toward the alternate personality.
After hearing Zhang Qian’s question, Yue Linhai didn’t show any expression, as if he had long guessed he would ask about Little Linhai’s whereabouts.
However, Yue Linhai didn’t answer directly. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and gave Zhang Qian a meaningful expression: “What do you think?”
“His existence was just a mistake after all, and it nearly caused irreparable consequences. Emotionally and rationally, I seem to have no reason to keep him.”
“I see…” Zhang Qian nodded and didn’t pursue the matter further.
He wasn’t close with Little Linhai. At first, his emotions toward that alternate personality were mainly wariness, and only later did they gradually change.
Even so, Zhang Qian still felt a bit regretful in his heart.
After all, that was also an existence with self-consciousness, and it had no intention of harming others. It even made some contributions in fighting Fierce Ghosts. Even if it wasn’t truly human, it was much better than many lunatics.
At least compared to those bastards who committed arson, murder, looting, and all kinds of evil, Little Linhai’s pranks seemed insignificant.
Just as Zhang Qian’s thoughts were wandering, Yue Linhai’s voice timely pulled him back: “Any other questions?”
Zhang Qian came back to his senses and looked at Yue Linhai.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but this person’s expression seemed a bit softer, and even that terrifying face looked much more pleasing.
Because the puzzle piece was completed, the Fierce Ghost was suppressed again?
Putting aside his inner doubts, Zhang Qian shook his head: “No big problems. I want to ask about some Supernatural knowledge, but dealing with the Captain is more important first.”
Asking questions in this slowed time wouldn’t take much time, but doing so always gave Zhang Qian a feeling of life and death parting.
It was just dealing with a Ghost Ship, not like they couldn’t survive after fighting it. No need to be so pessimistic.
Luo Wensong plus Yue Linhai, two against one dealing with a Captain should still be easy.
“Supernatural knowledge—if you’re interested, I have quite a bit of information I can share with you.”
Yue Linhai said, then suddenly looked at Luo Wensong as if remembering something: “Of course, provided that Luo Wensong can give me enough time.”
Thinking carefully, it seemed somewhat impossible. Ghost Controllers found by Luo Wensong, aside from his few teammates, hadn’t heard of anyone who had a good end.
After this matter, the estimated ending waiting for him was probably imprisonment.
And before imprisonment, he would be subject to Splitting Supernatural. He didn’t know if there would be a chance…
“Let’s first confirm the method to deal with the Ghost Ship. Those things you mentioned can wait until the Ghost Ship is truly ended.”
Luo Wensong’s words interrupted Yue Linhai’s thoughts and also drew Zhang Qian’s attention.
After a brief thought, Zhang Qian took out an unsigned yellow envelope: “My original plan was to stick this envelope on the Captain to give Old Luo the chance to act against it. This step should have no problem, right?”
Actually, when making this decision back then, Zhang Qian was a bit worried in his heart. After all, although the envelope didn’t say who it was for, these envelopes had indeed suddenly appeared in his room.
It was hard to say whether these envelopes were really for him or just blank ones.
At the time, with no choice, he could only gamble. Now that Luo Wensong had come personally, it was still better to let him confirm it.
Although he already knew the answer, Luo Wensong still glanced at the envelope before nodding slightly: “No problem. This envelope is different from the letters in the mission. It will take effect as long as it touches the Captain.”
As for where exactly it was different, he didn’t say explicitly.
However, Zhang Qian sensed the hollow content inside and guessed the difference might be that there was no letter inside?
Confirming this step had no problem, Zhang Qian put away the envelope and looked at Yue Linhai: “To touch the Captain… I’ll have to trouble you, Senior.”
Earlier, he only knew the Ghost Ship was very terrifying and the Captain very strong, but had no specific concept. He even felt that just wanting to touch the Captain, not kill it, might not be that difficult and was still possible.
But now, after seeing Yue Linhai’s unreasonable time stop and imprisonment ability, and after seeing the infinitely deriving wooden doors like a graveyard of tombstones, Zhang Qian didn’t dare hold such an optimistic attitude anymore.
It couldn’t be said they couldn’t beat it— it could only be said that even touching it was a luxury.
Although every Ghost Controller’s ability was different, no matter what the Captain’s ability was, something stronger than Yue Linhai could probably crush Zhang Qian with a casual strike.
Therefore, whether this delivery plan could proceed depended on the letter on one hand, and protection during the delivery process on the other.
“Ghost Ship, huh.”
Yue Linhai casually glanced at the nothingness in the extreme distance. Through his own vision, through the illusions created by the library books, he saw that Steel Giant Beast drifting on the pitch black sea surface.
The aura it emitted made even him shudder now.
Undoubtedly, after abandoning his human identity, the Captain was more than just a little bit stronger than before.
