Chapter 70: Ghost Comb, Freeze To Death Ghost
“The Ghost Porcelain Woman can create ghosts, and it created the Wooden Fish Ghost and can even produce ghosts?!”
Jiang Shan’s palms were full of cold sweat. He spread the Ghost Domain of the Dead Face Ghost toward that Dark Shadow. When the Ghost Domain touched that black Ghost Shadow, he sensed something wrong:
“No, this isn’t a ghost!”
With the current Ghost Domain Strength of Jiang Shan, it was fundamentally unable to affect a ghost. Back when the Dead Face Ghost had two Ghost Faces, his Ghost Domain could still slightly influence some weaker ghosts.
Unless the Ghost Domain Strength of the Dead Face Ghost could reach the level of Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain Fifth Layer.
At that time, Jiang Shan felt he should also be able to use the Ghost Domain to “move mountains and fill seas” and “expel Fierce Ghosts.”
But now Jiang Shan felt he could transfer that Dark Shadow through the Ghost Domain at any time, just like transferring an ordinary person with the Ghost Domain.
So he inferred,
That humanoid black Ghost Shadow was probably the Ghost Slave of the Wooden Fish Ghost, not a ghost itself.
Knowing this, Jiang Shan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but looking at that ghost continuously knocking the mud Wooden Fish and the Ghost Porcelain Woman walking toward them, he still didn’t dare lower his vigilance at all.
“Hm? Whose Ghost Domain is this?”
Suddenly, Jiang Shan felt a pale, insubstantial Ghost Domain cover everyone, followed by a surge of inexplicable chilling cold into his body. This chilling cold was different from the cold brought by dropping winter temperatures; after this chilling entered the body, it began to course through his insides.
This chilling was very Weirdness. Just a trace made Jiang Shan feel a Threat. If this chilling were several times denser, it could even freeze a Ghost Wielder alive from inside to outside!
Moreover, in this Ghost Domain, he also felt a trace of Suppression.
As expected, a Ghost Wielder had made a move.
“Who is it?”
Jiang Shan glanced at that black Ghost Shadow already Suppressed to the point of being unable to Act, then he began observing among the Ghost Wielders.
With a sweep of his gaze, an extremely conspicuous person entered Jiang Shan’s field of vision.
It was that “little sister” whose skin was always bluish-purple.
She took off the thickened windbreaker she was wearing, revealing the suspenders and shorts underneath.
It turned out not only her facial skin was bluish-purple; all the exposed skin on her petite figure was bluish-purple, the color like that of someone frozen alive in the snow for over ten days in a high-altitude cold region.
That was the color formed by the interplay of frozen-burst capillaries under the skin and flesh already frozen to necrosis.
“Freeze to Death Ghost?”
Jiang Shan narrowed his eyes and began sizing up Ren Xue. As the surroundings grew even more chilling, he saw the bluish-purple on Ren Xue’s skin deepen, some areas even turning black.
Ren Xue’s chattering teeth and pained expression showed that she was enduring immense Torment while using the Freeze to Death Ghost.
Seeing that black Ghost Shadow suspected to be the Ghost Slave already firmly Suppressed, Jiang Shan retracted the Ghost Rope into his hand and recalled the girl’s name.
If he hadn’t misheard, Lin Bei called the sister combing her hair with the Ghost Comb Ren Ying, and this little sister who had spoken to him earlier Ren Xue.
Along the way, Jiang Shan noticed the two were very silent, hardly speaking. When the ghost began Killing People, a strange flush would inexplicably rise on their faces.
“Ren Ying, Ren Xue, two pretty nice names, and they look beautiful too, but unfortunately, they’re two lunatics.” He thought with disgust.
Because of the Fierce Ghosts in their bodies, most Ghost Wielders were either lunatics or perverts.
Those like Jiang Shan who had Controlled Fierce Ghosts for a relatively short time might still maintain some normality. If he could Survive successfully on the Ghost Bus this time.
Then someday in the future, he might also turn into this kind of state.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan fell somewhat silent. He still hadn’t figured out how to maintain his Emotions, even Yang Jian was constantly losing his Emotions in the process of Controlling Fierce Ghosts.
If a Ghost Wielder lost Emotions, would that count as human or ghost?
Jiang Shan shook his head and stopped thinking about it, his gaze falling on that black Ghost Shadow. As Ren Xue continuously activated the Freeze to Death Ghost in her body, that black Ghost Shadow grew increasingly Illusory under that pale Ghost Domain.
In just a few seconds, the outline of the Ghost Shadow became blurry, as if it didn’t belong to This World, then it completely vanished.
Ghosts cannot be killed. It seemed Jiang Shan’s guess was correct.
“The ghost disappeared, bro. That person actually killed a ghost.”
At this moment, Liu Yingying seemed somewhat excited. These past two days, she had been under the shadow of being killed by a ghost, so seeing that terrifying Fierce Ghost actually killed made the mountain on her heart disappear.
“It wasn’t a ghost. Let me tell you: ‘Ghosts cannot be killed; only ghosts can confront ghosts.’ Ghosts all have Killing Patterns. Find its Killing Pattern, and you might Survive.” Jiang Shan said.
Hearing this, Liu Yingying was stunned. Although she had seen Ren Xue’s bluish-purple skin, she thought it was just an ordinary skin condition and didn’t think much of it.
But Jiang Shan’s words made her suddenly think of something, and her face turned pale as she pointed at Ren Xue:
“Bro, so that means there’s a ghost in your bodies too, right? Then why can you still…”
As she spoke, Liu Yingying fell silent. All the events on the Ghost Bus were repeatedly shattering her worldview.
For her, her understanding of ghosts was still stuck in those folk horror stories.
Peach wood swords, black dog blood, abundant yang energy could confront Fierce Ghosts, even kill them.
This was Liu Yingying’s worldview as an ordinary person. Not just her—all ordinary people without experiencing Supernatural Events thought the same.
Jiang Shan also knew why Headquarters didn’t publicize Supernatural Events. Without sufficient deterrence, publicizing Supernatural Events would inevitably bring chaos.
Although this could let more people Survive when encountering Fierce Ghosts, a society without order would bring more Death under complex humanity.
“People like us are actually already dead; we’re just a group of ghosts Alive by Supernatural means.”
Jiang Shan said with self-mockery. He glanced at his Watch; one minute had passed since the Wooden Fish Ghost last knocked the Wooden Fish.
Judging by the previous Pattern of knocking every ten seconds, the Wooden Fish Ghost must have been affected by some Fierce Ghost; otherwise, it absolutely wouldn’t stop its Killing Pattern.
“So who is it?” Jiang Shan thought, sweeping his gaze around.
Lin Bei sat on the ground in a deep sleep, probably having sensed something wrong and activated the Ability of the ghost in his body to evade the Ghost Attack of the Wooden Fish Ghost.
Ren Xue and Ren Ying would show very obvious features when activating Fierce Ghosts, but now the two were chatting and laughing while stroking Zhang Dongxing, who was still in a Coma on the ground.
“Zhang Dongxing?”
Suddenly, Jiang Shan thought of something, shifting his gaze to that skeleton-like Wooden Fish Ghost.
Behind the Wooden Fish Ghost, he indeed saw a gray Humanoid Figure, and the reason the Knocking Sound hadn’t rung out was something Jiang Shan discovered upon seeing the Luck Ghost.
That Wooden Fish Ghost, no matter how it knocked, couldn’t hit the center of the mud Wooden Fish. Every time it made a knocking Action, it either missed or fell short.
Please rest assured, brothers, the ghosts appearing here won’t affect the book’s rhythm. I’ll give you brothers a reasonable explanation. I’ve done some secondary creation with Lin Bei’s character; if there’s any issue in the book, I hope you brothers can point it out to me. Thank you for your love and support!!
