Chapter 260: The Ghost Messenger That Must Be Detained
“The current situation in Dajing City has already turned into a complete mess. Liu San, I know what you’re thinking, but I tell you, once Headquarters is destroyed, the country will lose management and rules, and no one will be able to stay safe in this chaotic world. I believe you will make the right choice.”
Looking at Liu San’s hesitant expression, Jiang Shan spoke in a flat tone, as if he hadn’t seen his inner conflict at all.
Without giving Liu San time to refuse, he began arranging his next actions:
“Now, immediately contact all the persons in charge at Headquarters. Restrict all ordinary people you encounter on the way as much as possible. Kill on sight those who do not obey orders. At all costs, stabilize the situation at Headquarters as quickly as possible.”
After saying that,
A piece of silver light instantly erupted from the rooftop, spreading wildly outward at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
“Hm?!”
Less than three seconds after the Ghost Domain began to spread, Jiang Shan, who was originally preparing to head to the Training Base, suddenly changed his expression drastically. He looked gravely at Dajing City ahead, which was dotted with lights and extremely prosperous.
“Liu San, cancel your action. Now come with me to the Training Base to handle the Ghost Messenger.” Jiang Shan, who made the judgment in just a few seconds, immediately said to Liu San.
“What’s wrong?”
“Headquarters has completely fallen at this moment. No, it should be said that Dajing City has completely fallen. All the ghosts detained under the Headquarters base have been released for some unknown reason. There are at least a hundred Fierce Ghosts in this city. You can’t even reach Headquarters now.”
“You know something about the Ghost Messenger’s abilities. Once all these ghosts wandering in Dajing City become part of its suppression numbers, I don’t need to say more about the terror level.”
“What kind of joke is this?! Hundred Ghosts? I shouldn’t have come to Dajing City this time, gotten involved in this muddy water. Forget it, I’ll go with you.”
At this moment, Liu San’s face was so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it.
First the detention plan was attacked, then the Ghost Messenger incident lost control, and now the Hundred Ghosts resurrection and Headquarters destruction.
No Ghost Wielder could stay calm through these three events, not even Jiang Shan.
“Don’t resist.”
Not daring to delay any longer, after hastily saying this, Jiang Shan immediately activated his Ghost Domain, avoiding the areas dense with Fierce Ghosts in Dajing City, and headed toward the Training Base.
In the original work,
The Ghost Messenger alone, with only nine Fierce Ghosts under suppression, had already made Headquarters overwhelmed, and that was still the best situation with Yang Jian present to control the situation.
But looking at the red light that had already disappeared, knowing that Yang Jian had no Ghost Rope to counter the Ghost Messenger, Jiang Shan had already assumed his death.
Even if Yang Jian might have a backup plan and luckily survived.
But in such a situation, Jiang Shan had to consider all possible scenarios and the most severe handling methods.
Now,
The Training Base without Yang Jian to maintain the situation.
What would it look like?
The Training Base, nearly shrouded in darkness.
Jiang Shan and Liu San, who had arrived at the fastest speed, stood gloomily at the base’s main gate.
Looking at the darkness ahead that seemed capable of devouring everything, Jiang Shan held the black long whip, his expression calm but his brows deeply furrowed.
“The Ghost Domain can’t even invade. It seems the Ghost Messenger has found a puzzle piece; otherwise, its Ghost Domain strength wouldn’t have improved so dramatically. Things are getting tricky.” Jiang Shan thought gravely.
He had originally planned to directly invade the Ghost Messenger’s Ghost Domain with his own and then handle and detain it.
But the moment the Dead Face Ghost’s invasion failed, he already knew the Ghost Messenger’s terror level had changed.
Just like the Starving Ghost now,
It could devour Fierce Ghosts to increase its own terror level, but its Ghost Domain strength wouldn’t improve significantly, because Ghost Domain characteristics were linked to the Fierce Ghost’s puzzle piece completeness.
Even for a Fierce Ghost with an extremely high terror level, even if its attack meant certain death for the Seven Elders.
Before obtaining the puzzle piece,
If its Ghost Domain was previously at first layer strength, it would remain unchanged afterward.
The comparison of puzzle piece completeness was equivalent to the gap in life levels.
Although the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain invasion failed, it didn’t affect Jiang Shan’s entry, so he immediately found the most peripheral area influenced by the Ghost Messenger’s Ghost Domain and entered with Liu San.
By a stroke of coincidence,
Their location was right at the main gate of the Training Base.
Although the darkness in front of the two wasn’t too dense, beyond about ten meters, nothing was visible.
“Jiang Shan.”
“This is the Ghost Messenger’s Ghost Domain. For the next actions, you must stay by my side at all times and observe all abnormalities around us.”
Without much hesitation,
After saying that, Jiang Shan immediately spread the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain around them, making the surrounding darkness less invisible in his vision.
But visibility was still poor.
If it were ordinary people, it would be like advancing in the dark, unable to see anything clearly ahead, almost like being blind with eyes open; they wouldn’t even know if a ghost was standing in front of them.
It seemed that because the Ghost Messenger obtained a new puzzle piece, its Ghost Domain had also undergone a weird change.
The Ghost Domain formed by the Ghost Messenger Supernatural power now seemed to exert absolute suppression on other Ghost Domains.
Even the Dead Face Ghost’s sixth layer and a half Ghost Domain could only dispel part of the darkness, preventing him and Liu San from being unable to move from the spot.
“The Ghost Messenger must be detained. Old Qin’s action to detain the Starving Ghost hasn’t ended yet. I’m the only one who can handle the Ghost Messenger now. If we let it develop further, even Old Qin might not be able to handle it.”
Since he could see the path ahead clearly, Jiang Shan immediately led Liu San into the darkness.
“There are nineteen persons in charge in the entire Training Base. This is the intelligence just sent to me by Cao Yanhua. The Ghost Messenger’s attack speed isn’t that fast, but in the worst-case scenario, it now has at least seven to twelve suppression numbers.”
While walking, Jiang Shan told Liu San all the intelligence on detaining the Ghost Messenger. Although Liu San’s abilities posed no major issues, sharing intelligence was definitely not a bad thing.
“At least it won’t affect my own actions.” Jiang Shan thought.
“The Ghost Messenger will seize other ghosts. For each ghost it seizes, it gains part of that ghost’s abilities, and it can also increase the number of ghosts it suppresses. But this suppression comes at a cost.”
“For every ghost suppressed, the Ghost Messenger loses some weird ability in its body. If it suppresses the same number of ghosts, it will lose all its abilities.”
“Without weird abilities, it’s equivalent to the Ghost Messenger having no killing pattern, and that’s the ‘won’t be attacked if not alone'”
Before he finished speaking,
Jiang Shan suddenly looked fiercely in a certain direction and immediately shouted loudly:
“Who?”
