Chapter 84: Mentally Broken
Hearing Wang Cha Ling’s request, that couple walked step by step toward the camera, then suddenly disappeared from the photograph.
After a moment, Wang Cha Ling still did not see his parents’ figures.
He glanced at the empty darkness in front of him and tentatively reached out his hand.
Soon, his hand stopped at a certain spot in front of him, unable to move forward no matter what.
It was like it was blocked by an invisible wall.
The eerie feeling did not frighten Wang Cha Ling; instead, it made him relax.
So what if Zhang Qian could block his vision? Wang Cha Ling solved supernatural events not by relying on himself.
“Mr. Zhang, how about we each take a step back? I apologize for my previous inappropriate words and actions, won’t pursue this attack of yours, please lift your supernatural power.”
With his parents protecting him, Wang Cha Ling’s voice grew louder.
“As for that supernatural event you want to resolve, you can completely leave it to me. I won’t allow a threat to wander inside Dadong City.”
“Zhang Qian, you absolutely must not believe him.” Xu Zheng’s gaze flickered as he couldn’t help but remind.
“Wang Cha Ling can break a promise once, he might break it a second time. Now he can speak calmly only because he’s worried about your threat. Once the supernatural power is withdrawn, he will definitely tear into us.”
“Hehe, Mr. Xu is overthinking.” Wang Cha Ling also heard these words.
Zhang Qian had only sealed his vision, without affecting his other senses.
He hadn’t noticed earlier just because he panicked and couldn’t properly take in the surrounding information.
“I never wanted to conflict with you two. My attitude was a bit tough earlier, but I actually didn’t want to be enemies with you.”
Wang Cha Ling thought about it and still felt a bit scared. He hadn’t expected Zhang Qian to start fighting directly without a word.
In Wang Cha Ling’s plan, clearing the airport and gathering subordinates and such actions were enough to prove his control over Dadong City.
Next, he just needed to bring out his father and mother, and Zhang Qian would naturally think his strength was also impressive.
Under double pressure, Zhang Qian had no reason not to back off.
And he, Wang Cha Ling, just needed to investigate that possible supernatural event, and the matter would be over.
Unfortunately, Zhang Qian did not follow the expected script, ignoring these invisible gambits and biting like a madman.
Ghost Controllers are indeed all strange and cannot be viewed with common sense; he needed to be more careful in the future.
Although thoughts surged in his mind, Wang Cha Ling did not show it.
Knowing Zhang Qian could see his actions, Wang Cha Ling proactively put the photo in his pocket, as if to show his sincerity.
He said softly: “To tell the truth, I’m not interested in many things and have no thoughts of dominating. I obstructed you earlier just to avoid affecting stability inside Dadong City.”
“There’s no deep blood feud between us. Mr. Zhang has already shown his strength; I won’t fight you to the end.”
Wang Cha Ling’s tone was gentle, no longer having the previous aggressive momentum.
He persuaded with reason and emotion, seeming truly wanting to reconcile with Zhang Qian.
“No matter how nicely you say it, it’s useless. If you really have sincerity, don’t block the way. I’ll leave Dadong City naturally after finishing the task.”
The real Zhang Qian did not speak, but used an illusion to say these words in his place.
He did not want to expose his position, lest he attract an attack from that couple.
After having this couple backing him, Wang Cha Ling gained confidence. These two fierce ghosts might not be just able to block bullets.
The record of twenty ghosts a day was likely not the old ghost’s merit, but achieved by Wang Cha Ling relying on these two middle-aged people.
“Why go back to that again?” Wang Cha Ling indeed did not notice anything unusual and turned to look at a palm tree.
His tone was somewhat helpless. “Mr. Zhang, I can let go of you attacking me first. Why can’t you trust me once?”
Wang Cha Ling stared intently at the palm tree, wanting to make it retreat with words.
“You can trap me, but you actually have no way to deal with me, right? I just don’t want to fight desperately. Otherwise, with my two ghosts, one can defend and one can attack.”
His tone was full of confidence, as if he had already seized the initiative.
But Wang Cha Ling did not attack Zhang Qian as he said; instead, he laid his chips on the table.
This was the first time he was attacked by a ghost controller. Even though he wasn’t hurt now, it had truly affected him.
So he was still a bit panicked, worried that a single fierce ghost couldn’t stop Zhang Qian.
The two in reality were not shaken by Wang Cha Ling’s words. Xu Zheng’s expression became somewhat strange from holding back laughter.
Wang Cha Ling’s temperament was originally very elegant, but now talking to a plant looked a bit like mental illness.
Xu Zheng touched his chin and unconsciously began to deduce Zhang Qian’s strength.
As expected, Zhang Qian also controlled more than one fierce ghost. One of them showed suppressive ability on the plane, and the other could probably make people hallucinate.
It felt a bit like the ghost domain Professor Wang mentioned; he didn’t know if it was a type of ghost domain.
Zhang Qian pondered: two ghosts means Wang Cha Ling cannot control that old ghost?
If so, then it was easy to handle.
“So you’re still unwilling to agree?” Zhang Qian confirmed again. “Letting us leave is your bottom line?”
Seeing Zhang Qian seeming to waver, a flash of joy crossed Wang Cha Ling’s face.
He bet right. Sure enough, even an incomplete curse was enough to intimidate these ghost controllers.
“Yes…”
Before he finished speaking, the black smoke in the illusion space suddenly surged violently.
The ferocious ghost mask emerged again, blocking Wang Cha Ling’s words back in his throat.
Zhang Qian’s expression was icy cold, guessing where Wang Cha Ling’s confidence came from.
It was nothing more than not knowing he had already died once, and not knowing that the Zhang Qian in the black smoke space could attack beyond two fierce ghosts.
Earlier, the ghost mask had instantly taken his life, and the old ghost’s rewind only stopped at the moment before Wang Cha Ling’s death.
So in Wang Cha Ling’s view, that death was just a momentary daze for him.
Since that was the case, he would give him a lesson to remember.
Zhang Qian controlled the ghost mask’s instinct to directly kill Wang Cha Ling, only letting a wisp of true qi through.
But this wisp made Wang Cha Ling kneel painfully on the ground.
“Cough cough cough…”
He covered his mouth, fresh blood constantly spilling from between his fingers.
It was like a brutal force had crashed into his brain, stirring endlessly like an electric drill.
This was a feeling Wang Cha Ling, who had lived smoothly for nearly thirty years, had never experienced.
Panic that his parents couldn’t protect him, anger at Zhang Qian not playing by the rules…
All these emotions mixed together. Even Wang Cha Ling, who had received good education since childhood, couldn’t help but curse.
“Fuck…”
