Chapter 110: Retreat
Zhang Qian thought to himself that he probably wouldn’t be as passive facing Liu San as others.
After all, controlling Paper Figure definitely requires seeing, and seeing already satisfies the condition for attack, unless this Paper Figure can also isolate Ghost Face, otherwise Liu San’s main body would also be locked down together.
That said, Zhang Qian had no intention of testing his blade on Liu San, otherwise if he ended up entangled by an unkillable fly, there really would be nowhere to cry.
“This ability is indeed disgusting, it can be called a fish-bombing divine artifact. Judging from Liu San’s constant resurgence times, the fierce ghost’s corrosion is also very small. If it wasn’t premeditated, then it can only be said that his luck is very good, the first fierce ghost he controlled gave him a heavenly hand opening.” Zhang Qian said.
If only his first fierce ghost was Paper Figure, multiple clones multiple happiness, directly pulling up an immortal cultivator legion.
“The most important thing in controlling fierce ghost is luck, our country has so many people, there will always be a few with good luck. After all gathering at headquarters, headquarters also has quite a few talents, it’s just that everyone is not very obedient.”
Xu Zheng sighed, “Headquarters could only give them money before, but many people don’t lack money at all, they do tasks based on mood, otherwise the bottom-level ghost controllers wouldn’t be so busy.”
I don’t know if the Person in Charge Plan can impress them, no need for complete obedience, as long as they are willing to increase the frequency of clearing fierce ghosts, that’s enough.
“How many exactly are these people?” Zhang Qian was piqued with interest and asked, “Are there many well-known figures like Liu San? From your tone, this number seems not small?”
Anyway, Yue Linhai had no intention of paying attention to them, so they had to find something to do.
Unexpectedly, supernatural has just resurgence, and the strength hierarchy has already appeared?
“Can’t say many, proportionally speaking it’s very rare. It’s just that most of them are associated with headquarters, like Yin Zi, Li Yan, Fang Shiming…” Xu Zheng listed a series of names.
Zhang Qian was surprised to find that there were quite a few people inside whom he knew, even had direct or indirect contact with.
It seems this world is pretty small.
After waiting for a moment, still not hearing that familiar name, Zhang Qian couldn’t help but ask curiously: “No Feng Quan? I heard him say before that he was one of the first batch of ghost controllers.”
Although now it seems this first batch needs a question mark, probably just the first batch of modern times, but it shouldn’t be too weak.
“Uh, Ghost Mist Feng Quan is indeed quite famous…” Xu Zheng paused, his expression a bit strange.
“But how he became famous, how to put it, is different from others. Others are famous for their strength, Feng Quan is famous for his diligence.”
“People in the circle all call him the model worker, because he has hardly rested, either clearing supernatural events or on the way to supernatural land.”
“Many people have been his teammates, over time, not only headquarters people know Feng Quan, even those civilian ghost controllers know of such a person.”
“Really something he could do…” Zhang Qian nodded without surprise, then asked, “As the first two ghosts ghost controller, you should also be quite famous, right?”
Xu Zheng’s hasty steps paused, wanting to refuse to answer, but then thought of Zhang Qian’s two life-saving graces.
Losing face alone, no need to hide it, right?
“I do have a little bit of fame.” Xu Zheng said while holding up two fingers.
“It’s just that this fame seems negative, the people in the circle who know me gave me a nickname, they all call me the mascot…”
“Almost had an accident, ever since Ghost Pushes Person exited my body, my state improved, but my ability to withstand strikes declined…”
“Pfft—”
Zhang Qian laughed, “Your nickname is pretty interesting, I thought you would be called Ghost Hair or something like Pushing Person Ghost.”
“No way around it, the title is something ghost controllers forge their own reputation, then others help name it.”
Xu Zheng sighed, “I’ve thought about changing it, but unfortunately everyone still calls that nickname they’ve gotten used to.”
“What exactly did you do to get such an evaluation. Most nicknames are the fierce ghosts controlled by ghost controllers, your nickname completely doesn’t show any meaning.” Zhang Qian asked.
“Headquarters sent me not long ago to resolve supernatural events all over the country, actually just to make an appearance, as evidence that headquarters masters fierce ghost balance technology.”
Xu Zheng said through gritted teeth, “Some bastard said I was the mascot selected by headquarters, and even posted it on the forum, if I catch him, I’ll absolutely make him regret it.”
“Hahaha, you’re pretty miserable then.” Zhang Qian mercilessly mocked, giving Xu Zheng another heavy punch.
This one almost made Xu Zheng socially withdraw.
“No way around it, I didn’t have much strength before, now being able to control two ghosts is just relatively good luck.”
“After controlling two ghosts I thought I’d gotten stronger, could do more things. Didn’t expect I’m still so weak, probably can’t even compare to those ghost controllers controlling one ghost.”
His voice was a bit melancholic, he even laughed at Feng Quan being the model worker, yet he himself couldn’t even earn that title.
“Although my state improved a lot, but defense power declined, this time if not for you, I almost lost my life again…”
Ghost controllers are this kind of contradictory existence, generally ghost controllers can only exert their strongest strength when approaching resurgence.
After their bodies are assimilated by the fierce ghost, their resistance to supernatural power increases a lot, and they can also use their abilities more recklessly.
Just like current Xu Zheng, after controlling two ghosts it’s only that attack methods are more comprehensive. The biggest other improvement is lifespan extension, as for strength, no difference from before.
It can even be said Xu Zheng is more fragile than before, fine for crushing weak opponents, but once facing a slightly stronger opponent, his vulnerable main body is even easier to die suddenly.
“Relax, there’s no such thing as having both. At least you don’t have the trouble of fierce ghost corrosion, your state ranks top two among the ghost controllers I’ve seen, how many ghost controllers beg for this thing?” Zhang Qian said while walking.
Of course, this top two refers to contemporary normal ghost controllers, second generation of supernatural and Republic of China Era big shots not included.
“That’s true, Professor Wang said I can live half a year now no problem. Unfortunately theoretically living longer doesn’t help much, half a year… who knows when some supernatural event takes me out.”
Xu Zheng was already somewhat out of breath by now, for him who lacks long-term exercise, running and talking at the same time is quite a burden.
Fortunately the giant wheel behind has retreated, and Yue Linhai leading ahead has gradually slowed his steps.
The thick fog around still hasn’t dissipated, but from Yue Linhai’s expression it doesn’t seem like a big problem.
