Chapter 101: Love Showing Off? I’ll Indulge You!
Just as Zhao Kaiming was vigilantly observing his surroundings, a man in a black suit suddenly appeared in front of him.
“!!!”
Zhao Kaiming was startled in his heart,
but he didn’t show too much panic, instead displaying a calm and composed confidence.
“I have already fused with the Wishing Ghost. If someone wants to kill me, they have to kill the ghost along with me, but that’s impossible.”
Regarding the Wishing Ghost,
Zhao Kaiming seemed very confident in his heart, even though the Wishing Ghost had shown unease more than once after the silver light appeared, even possessing his body to protect his safety.
But thinking back to when he was “possessed” before, gaining that near “immortal” ability.
The strangeness revealed by the Wishing Ghost was completely ignored by him.
After all, no one can kill a ghost, which means no one can kill him.
“So calm? Not even resisting? Just what I wanted.”
Jiang Shan gripped the rust-covered coffin nail and, with almost no hesitation, fiercely stabbed it toward Zhao Kaiming’s forehead.
With his current body state, empowered by the terrifying force of the coffin nail.
Even if a human skull is extremely hard, stabbing the coffin nail into the head of an ordinary person like Zhao Kaiming is as easy as stabbing into tofu, with no resistance at all.
“Ah!”
A scream echoed across the rooftop.
Because of the Wishing Ghost’s uniqueness,
it not only has no physical form, but according to Jiang Shan’s observations and Yang Jian’s evaluation of it in the original work.
The Wishing Ghost’s existence is more like an intangible ghost.
So Jiang Shan wanted to nail the Wishing Ghost, he had to do it in the moment it “possessed” and gained a physical form.
Now was the best opportunity!
According to Zhao Kaiming’s previous state when “possessed” by it, he indeed couldn’t die.
But now,
in the blink of an eye,
Zhao Kaiming, under the immense force, fell straight back rigidly to the ground.
His pupils were dilated, and his face still held an expression of terror.
Right in the center of his forehead was nailed an “iron nail” exuding a chilling intent, with fresh blood continuously seeping out.
Not only that,
At the same time as nailing Zhao Kaiming,
Blood-red ghost characters densely appeared like a curse, instantly covering every part of his body.
Even his blood vessels and internal organs bore traces of ghost characters.
At this time, Jiang Shan hid in the silver light, using his ghost domain to continuously observe Zhao Kaiming lying motionless on the ground like a corpse.
“No breathing, no heartbeat, blood stopped flowing throughout his body, but there’s no supernatural on him at all. Did the Wishing Ghost escape after all?”
Jiang Shan, sensing no supernatural at all, furrowed his brows. Recalling the details when he launched the fatal strike earlier, he quickly understood why he hadn’t nailed the Wishing Ghost.
“Earlier, because Zhao Kaiming had the Wishing Ghost’s suppression inside him, the ghost domain couldn’t affect his body. But when I moved just now, that ‘unable to affect’ feeling disappeared. However, because I sensed no supernatural fluctuations, I overlooked this anomaly.”
“It seems that at that moment, the Wishing Ghost detached from Zhao Kaiming’s body, then concealed its own supernatural and abandoned him. A ghost with wisdom is indeed hard to detain. Looks like I’ll have to find another opportunity later.”
After withdrawing the ghost domain, Jiang Shan appeared beside Zhao Kaiming’s corpse. Looking at the already dead Zhao Kaiming, he felt no ripples in his heart.
Under the coffin nail,
Not to mention an ordinary person like Zhao Kaiming—if the Wishing Ghost hadn’t detached from his body, the final outcome would have been no different for it.
One death,
one nailed into dormancy.
For not successfully “nailing” the Wishing Ghost, Jiang Shan still felt some regret in his heart.
After all, next time he encountered the Wishing Ghost, whether he would even have the coffin nail in hand was uncertain.
Just based on this encounter, whether the Wishing Ghost would dare to appear before him again was also uncertain.
“Forget it, we’ll talk about it later.”
Thinking of the Wishing Ghost’s ability to conceal supernatural, Jiang Shan gave up the idea of searching for it.
Under the fifth layer ghost domain, it could still escape silently. Even covering the entire city again would make it hard to find traces of the Wishing Ghost.
Moreover, covering the entire city with the fifth layer ghost domain was something Jiang Shan could do at most five times a day.
After more than five times, the Dead Face Ghost would show signs of resurrection.
He had no need to let the fierce ghosts in his body, which had finally reached balance, lose balance again over this one ghost.
It wouldn’t be worth the loss.
With that thought,
Jiang Shan pulled the coffin nail from Zhao Kaiming’s corpse forehead, then glanced toward a certain spot at Seventh Middle School.
That spot was exactly where the Starving Ghost’s true body was!
Earlier, when the Dead Face Ghost’s ghost domain covered the entire city, he could have nailed and detained the Starving Ghost at any time.
But thinking of Jiang Shangbai and certain ghost wielders’ pretentious tones, and that Yang Jian hadn’t yet controlled the headless ghost shadow of the dead machine at this time.
To leave a possible “hope” for the future, Jiang Shan didn’t want to immediately solve the “Starving Ghost Incident”.
“Wait a bit longer, at least until Yang Jian controls the headless ghost shadow.”
With a silver light streaking across the sky, Jiang Shan’s figure once again appeared on that chair in the temporary command center.
Under Zhao Jianguo’s stunned gaze, he lit a cigarette, then closed his eyes to rest quietly.
Now Chen Yue and Yan Li’s wife and children all lived in Guanjiang Residential Area. Regarding their safety, Jiang Shan was very reassured.
After all, Yang Jian was reliable.
If not for Yang Jian’s personality making him unable to obey others, Jiang Shan would really want to bring him into his future team.
But one mountain cannot hold two tigers.
For people like Jiang Shan, Fang Shiming, Ye Zhen, you can become friends with them, or even temporary trusted partners.
But for a team,
one leading wolf is enough.
At the same time,
Jiang Shang, Li Jun, and Guo Fan, who had entered Dachang City, were heading toward Wang Xiao Ming’s laboratory.
Under Cao Yanhua’s instructions, their first mission was to protect Wang Xiao Ming’s safety. Only then would they cooperate with Yang Jian and other local ghost wielders to jointly solve and detain the Starving Ghost.
“Why did Jiang Shan specifically name me to join the Starving Ghost Incident? I didn’t even know him before. Could it be that old thing Cao Yanhua orchestrated it?”
At this time, Guo Fan’s face was gloomy as he walked and thought.
In this three-person team,
Jiang Shang had to enter Dachang City because of Jiang Shan’s words;
As for Li Jun, it was because the team needed a headquarters representative to participate in this matter.
He understood and was clear about the reasons for these two joining.
But he himself, a headquarters person in charge who controlled one ghost—there were plenty stronger than him.
With so many ghost wielders present, why did Jiang Shan insist on him joining this action with Jiang Shang and Li Jun.
“Damn! Damn!”
The more Guo Fan thought, the more irritated he became, unable to stop cursing in his heart.
He felt that Jiang Shan’s action must have some purpose; he even thought Jiang Shan wanted to get him killed!
Otherwise, why pick him?
But Guo Fan would never know that it was because in another world, his arrogant and reckless actions led to this current result.
Since he loved to show off?
Jiang Shan would absolutely satisfy all the wishes of the show-off.
Not only Guo Fan, but Jiang Shangbai, with only one arm, now had a face blacker than black, remaining silent all the way.
The three-person team thus silently headed toward the city center.
But suddenly,
“Don’t go! There’s a ghost following us!”
