Chapter 6: A Deadly Predicament!
The terrifying knocking sounds reached Chen Yue’s ears, and the girl who had been holding on finally began to teeter on the brink of mental collapse.
She collapsed to the ground, covering her face and sobbing:
“Jiang Shan, am I going to die? Am I never going to make it home?”
“Wuwu.”
At this moment, Jiang Shan was also in a state of turmoil, falling into deep despair over whether he could survive.
Perhaps in front of these four fierce ghosts, certain death was the fate he couldn’t escape.
“Dong dong dong”
The weird knocking sound rang out again.
It maintained a constant frequency, knocking unhurriedly, each sound falling on Jiang Shan’s ears like the toll of death’s bell.
Suddenly, Jiang Shan’s entire body began to experience intense pain.
He felt his whole body starting to stiffen, his body emanating a chilling aura that inspired fear.
“Ah”
The heart-wrenching pain made Jiang Shan crouch on the ground and howl lowly. In his blurred vision, he discovered that the ghost characters were actually spreading from his feet toward the ground.
It wanted to detach from him!
It seemed the cause of his sudden intense pain was that the ghost characters in his body wanted to detach, but for Jiang Shan, this was the fierce ghost revival of the ghost characters.
Jiang Shan, with veins bulging from the pain, was certain that the moment the ghost characters fully detached from his body would be the moment of his death!
Jiang Shan turned his head to glance at Chen Yue, who had already collapsed in despair, and his eyes began to turn mad!
Either way, it’s death,
Even if he was certain to die, he wouldn’t let the ghost characters off so easily!
Coming when it wants and leaving when it wants, treating me like a bus!?
A mad plan brewed in Jiang Shan’s heart. At this moment, his thoughts were exceptionally clear. After the second round of knocking, he spoke:
“Chen Yue, I’ll give you one last method, the last possible way for you to survive.”
The sobbing gradually stopped, and Jiang Shan’s gaze fixed intently on the Knocking Ghost in front of him as he continued:
“As long as you hear the knocking, that fierce ghost will start killing randomly.”
“Now! No matter what happens, don’t pay attention! Don’t even turn your head, rush into that human face gray fog, look at their faces, and start screaming.”
“I can’t guarantee you’ll definitely survive, but this is my last method.”
Chen Yue staggered to her feet, her voice hoarse as she asked Jiang Shan:
“What about you?”
“Me?”
“I can’t leave. They won’t let me go. Since they can’t bear to part with me, I’ll properly meet this group of fierce ghosts!”
At this time, Jiang Shan was using the Newspaper Ghost’s supernatural power to desperately pull at the ghost characters, preventing them from detaching from his body.
The supernatural collision produced an intense tearing sensation, making Jiang Shan’s voice tremble slightly from the pain:
“Survive.”
“Run!”
Jiang Shan roared, and just as his words fell, the oppressive knocking sound rang out again,
“Dong dong dong”
The darkness that devoured all light surged forth like a tide, carrying a thick fetid smell and muffled footsteps toward Jiang Shan and the other.
Knocking Ghost… is here!
The trees around Jiang Shan began to wither and rot, a thick decaying death qi surging into his mouth and nose. He discovered his skin was starting to rot, emitting a nauseating fetid smell.
“You want to run so badly? I won’t let you!”
“Let me see just how afraid you are of this dead person ghost face!”
The Newspaper Ghost’s supernatural power in his mind was pushed to the extreme by Jiang Shan. He no longer cared about the Newspaper Ghost’s resurrection, madly keeping the ghost characters on his hand.
Under the Newspaper Ghost’s resurrection, Jiang Shan’s head surprisingly became layered like stacks of newspapers. The more he used the Newspaper Ghost’s supernatural power, the more his head, formed of layered newspapers, began to crack.
If anyone were present now and saw Jiang Shan’s current appearance—his mad gaze, his highly rotted body, paired with that already cracked newspaper-like head,
Compared to the fierce ghosts,
Jiang Shan at this moment was more like a fierce ghost!
The four fierce ghosts emanated an extremely terrifying chilling cold. Even though Jiang Shan felt his bones chill and his hair stand on end, he no longer cared.
Looking at the ghost characters in front of him, which could attach and had a killing pattern of death upon touch,
By keeping them on his hand, Jiang Shan dared to personally touch any fierce ghost!
Even the dead person ghost face in front of him!
Because he triggered the dead person ghost face’s killing pattern, Jiang Shan’s face also began to peel off rapidly, yet he used those hands covered in ghost characters to tightly grab a ghost face in the gray fog.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Jiang Shan tore off his own face skin and pasted that dead person ghost face onto it!
In an instant, that dead person ghost face fused tightly with his face, and an infinite cold surged from the depths of his consciousness.
“It’s devouring my consciousness!”
Jiang Shan was terrified. The original owner’s memories actually began to blur. This feeling was just like that day’s Newspaper Ghost!
Losing memories was a terror beyond others’ imagination!
“Newspaper Ghost!”
“Right! Newspaper Ghost!”
Knowing his own death brought Jiang Shan ultimate calm. The instant he sensed the memory loss, he thought of the Newspaper Ghost on the verge of resurrection in his body.
Just like that day, leave his memories on the Newspaper Ghost!
Jiang Shan would die!
But the Newspaper Ghost would never die!
Even if his memories might forever remain on the Newspaper Ghost, in this ten deaths no life situation, Jiang Shan saw a ray of hope!
What makes a person have a soul?
Memory, emotion!
Decisively, Jiang Shan urged the Newspaper Ghost to strip his memories. Two fierce ghosts began to collide and confront madly in his mind.
“This world’s malice is truly great.”
“Whatever,” Jiang Shan had already given up all struggle. He had done everything he needed to do; what happened next was up to fate.
At this time, he was completely unaware of everything happening in his body,
Chaos, darkness—these were Jiang Shan’s only feelings, followed by deep loneliness, infinite loneliness.
“I’m going to die, I’m going to die!”
But Jiang Shan didn’t know that the ghost characters in his body were now like living people, panicking in fear and chaos as they spread from his hands into his brain.
The scarlet ghost characters continuously wrote their own emotions:
“I am Jiang Shan, no! I am not Jiang Shan!”
“How dare he! How dare he paste the dead person ghost face on? I won’t survive! I’m really going to die!”
“Human skin paper, find the human skin paper and I can resurrect. I need him to find the human skin paper for me! He can’t die!”
The ghost characters that had invaded Jiang Shan’s brain began to fully resurrect. Its supernatural power actually took the initiative to help the Newspaper Ghost confront the dead person ghost face!
Jiang Shan’s plan succeeded. At this moment, three fierce ghosts were madly confronting each other in his brain!
Now, Jiang Shan stood rigidly in place like a zombie, limbs stiff, eyes lifeless, a deathly stillness aura beginning to emanate from his body.
An extremely thick fetid smell wafted from his head, which was already half-cracked, then gradually dissipated.
The three fierce ghosts in his brain seemed to have reached some weird balance.
And the Knocking Ghost stood behind Jiang Shan, extending those hands covered in death spots, purple-black and aged.
The instant that hand touched Jiang Shan’s body, Jiang Shan’s head began to rot at extreme speed!
The originally dormant fierce ghosts began to fiercely resurrect!
