Chapter 152: Won’t Give It? Then Die
Half an hour later.
The mad roar of a military pickup truck penetrated through layers of rain curtain into Jiang Shan’s ears.
When the roar disappeared,
Looking at Cao Yang holding the Ghost Mirror not far away, full of caution, he had some thoughts in his mind.
Although Cao Yang was slick and worldly-wise in dealing with matters.
But from his performance in the National War, it could be seen that he had the responsibility and ability that a Headquarters Ghost Wielder should have.
So Jiang Shan felt relieved to let him transport the Ghost Mirror, and also felt relieved to have him as a teammate for the next action.
Cao Yang in the heavy rain saw Jiang Shan standing at the entrance of the residential building in the residential area, and then quickly walked towards there.
Because the Ghost Mirror was very large and needed to be held with both hands, by the time Cao Yang entered the residential building, his whole body was already soaked, and his pant legs were still dripping water continuously.
Cao Yang wiped the rainwater off his face, then looked at Jiang Shan and said:
“Minister Jiang, this rain is really heavy. Look at this mirror, is there any problem? I took the liberty to not only wrap the black cloth tightly, but also coated it with another layer of gold leaf.”
Looking at the Ghost Mirror in front of him “wrapped” in a layer of gold leaf, Jiang Shan carefully checked it and found no problems, then said:
“You’ve worked hard. You’ve done very well. Cao Yanhua said he gave you two Ghost Candles. Give me one, and keep the other on you. Get ready, we’re moving out immediately.”
After handing the Ghost Candle from his backpack to Jiang Shan, Cao Yang saw him pick up the Ghost Mirror with one hand effortlessly, and his eyelids twitched wildly.
Although the Ghost Mirror was indeed not heavy, it was still exaggerated for an adult man to lift it with just one hand.
“You should have already read the intelligence on the Ghost Rain. Next, don’t act on your own. I’ll tell you what needs to be done.” The two stood by the pond of the fountain in the residential area, Jiang Shan looked at Cao Yang and said.
Cao Yang said: “No problem, Minister Jiang. I’m just your soldier now. If you tell me to go east, I absolutely won’t go west.”
“Put your hand into the pond.”
Watching Cao Yang’s entire body gradually become illusory and disappear from reality, Jiang Shan glanced at the pond water.
Sure enough, in the intermittent reflection in the pond water, he found Cao Yang was in another pond, surrounded by lotus flowers composed of human limbs.
This time, Cao Yang entered the Ghost Rain and did not appear on the Ghost Street, but was directly placed in the Ghost Park.
Unknown whether this was a coincidence,
Or whether the location of each entry into the Ghost Rain was random.
But these questions would get answers soon.
“My initial thought was misled by the form of appearance of the Ghost Dream and Ghost Rain. Rain does not mean that the medium of the Ghost Rain is rainwater, but rather this mirror-like water surface is the important medium for the Ghost Rain to pull people into the Ghost Domain.”
With that in mind,
Jiang Shan unhesitatingly inserted his hand into the pond water, and a thick stench immediately emanated from the pond.
The entire world inverted once again in his vision, and all surrounding scenery rippled like the layers of ripples in the pond, beginning to shake and fluctuate continuously.
As the fluctuations around grew larger, until at a certain moment.
Jiang Shan’s figure disappeared.
Unlike the first time entering the Ghost Rain, this time Jiang Shan already had sufficient understanding of the Ghost Rain. He had wondered back then why the handbag did not disappear upon entering the supernatural space.
At first, he understood that world completely different from the present world as an advanced plus version of the Ghost Dream’s killing method.
The Ghost Dream pulled people into dreams, while the Ghost Rain pulled people into supernatural space.
But now Jiang Shan knew that the so-called supernatural space of the Ghost Rain was just its special Ghost Domain.
Entering a supernatural space similar to the Ghost Dream might not allow bringing in some things from reality,
While a Ghost Domain naturally did not have such issues.
“It seems Cao Yang entering the Ghost Pool was not a coincidence. It might be because something went wrong with the Ghost Rain, or someone deliberately arranged it this way. First rendezvous with Cao Yang, lest something happens to him and I can’t explain it to Cao Yanhua.”
Looking at the Dead Person Lotus swaying in the wind around him, Jiang Shan thought to himself.
After inverting the satellite phone, he found two light spots on the phone’s positioning, one of which was constantly moving towards him.
It seemed that Cao Yang, who knew the intelligence that “the satellite phone must be used upside down,” was rushing towards him.
In just a few minutes, Jiang Shan and Cao Yang successfully met up.
“Next, I need you to act out a play with me.”
After explaining exactly what to do, Jiang Shan gestured to the bewildered Cao Yang, then walked towards the satellite phone positioning location of “He Qiong.”
“You’ve actually come back? Perfect. In another hour, the Ghost Lotus’s supernatural power will rewind my consciousness back to Dachun City. Make sure Shen Bao doesn’t interfere with me, otherwise everything will be over.”
Seeing Jiang Shan appear again, the eerie lotus flower-like He Qiong seemed very surprised and continued:
“Because of the continuous confrontation between the Ghost Lotus and the Ghost Rain, this rebirth means the Ghost Domain of the Ghost Lotus will no longer be able to shield Shen Bao’s perception. It will very likely find me, and then it will be up to you, Minister Jiang.”
As soon as the words were spoken,
Jiang Shan looked dissatisfied. He looked at He Qiong and said eerily:
“To tell you the truth, I’m not here for Dachun City this time, nor to save you. I remember you said before that if you successfully control it, you can let me also have the Ghost Lotus’s supernatural power. That’s why I’m here.”
Before He Qiong（Shen Bao） could ask, his tone suddenly became resentful, like a mad shrew, and he continued:
“I’ve done so much for Headquarters, detained so many ghosts, even sacrificed the Coffin Nail. I just killed a few dozen people who opposed me at the meeting.”
“They actually removed me from my position. An old man called Old Qin led more than a dozen Headquarters persons in charge to intercept and kill me in Dachun City. Almost! I was almost killed by that old man!”
The more he spoke, the more deranged Jiang Shan’s expression became, and a chilling aura began to spread from his body—this was the precursor to the ghost in his body resurrecting.
For a Ghost Wielder, the best way to judge their condition is not physical damage, but the depth of erosion by the ghost.
Because even if a Ghost Wielder’s body is dead, the supernatural can keep them alive, even very much alive.
While someone like Gao Zhi Qiang showed no issues on his body, but his consciousness had been eroded and assimilated to a deep degree by the Deceiver Ghost.
So Jiang Shan deliberately released the suppression of the Dead Face Ghost on the Ghost Characters, allowing its supernatural power to fully release and spread from his body.
Just to increase the authenticity of what he said.
Jiang Shan kept staring at the lotus flower-like He Qiong, his greedy gaze constantly scanning up and down.
At this moment, he seemed like a hyena driven to desperation, ready at any time to kill and devour everything around him.
A madness yet calm voice sounded:
“I know you, He Qiong, are also from Headquarters, and a saintly mother who wants to save the whole world.”
“If you can’t let me have the supernatural power of the Ghost Lotus that allows rebirth right now, then I’ll kill you first, and then go control the Ghost Lotus myself. Anyway, I’m going to die, having one more person to back me up will bring me more joy on the road.”
