Chapter 46: Trouble Comes From The Mouth
Meat chunks and blood plasma exploded like fireworks, the pale bones shattering into fragments mixed within.
Splattered filth coated the surrounding walls, the originally pristine white surfaces instantly stained with blood.
Zhang Qian reacted swiftly and retreated from the affected area, but those classmates weren’t so lucky.
The nearest classmate was smeared full of blood and filth on the face, and the unlucky ones even had some organ hanging on their faces.
“Ah——Urp~”
The bloody smell spread, the screams abruptly stopping and turning into nauseating vomiting sounds.
Especially the classmates who had just drunk alcohol; even though they were farther away and not splattered with blood, they now felt their stomachs churning, on the verge of vomiting at any moment.
“Tsk, it actually exploded…” Zhang Qian clicked his tongue.
Liu Chuang collapsed onto the floor on his butt, his face pale but his tone excited, “Holy crap, awesome, Brother Qian, you actually know magic, this ghostly thing exploded just like that.”
Zhang Qian grinned, “…Just standard procedure.”
“Brother Qian, earlier I was blinded by greed, I’m truly sorry.” Liu Chuang reacted quickly and immediately apologized sincerely to Zhang Qian.
As if feeling that wasn’t sincere enough, he stood up and bowed at a ninety-degree angle, “I was blind to your greatness, Brother Qian, you’re magnanimous and won’t hold this against me, please spare me.”
With this magic, even ghosts can be exploded, wouldn’t it be even easier on people?
“Whatever, I disregard it.”
Zhang Qian glanced at Liu Chuang whose legs were slightly bent, silently pitying his future happy life.
Hopefully Liu Chuang has a brother or sister at home…
Moments later, the pile of minced meat produced by Wang Ying still showed no reaction, seemingly truly killed by that so-called magic.
Zhang Qian quietly observed the other classmates’ reactions; most looked shaken and terrified, only Jiang Yu Xin and that glasses guy seemed a bit off.
What could now be confirmed was that a ghost controller was manipulating everything from behind the scenes, and that person was even in the room, hence able to adjust Wang Ying’s death method based on the earlier words.
That so-called magic had no true qi infusion, just a made-up incantation and a hand seal learned from anime.
It looked very flashy, but it definitely had no effect on supernatural power.
It was also tough on that ghost controller, who forcibly squeezed the ghost slave to explode just to match Zhang Qian’s action.
Not long after, a disgusting stench filled the room, as if Wang Ying’s corpse had been sealed and fermented for ten days or half a month.
“The supernatural power has dissipated so the corpse is starting to rot…”
Because a ghost slave’s body relies on supernatural power to maintain activity, upon losing supernatural power, their already decayed bodies will rapidly rot, and it’s even possible for them to turn into a pile of ashes.
Zhang Qian slightly covered his nose, pulled out a spare extendable baton, and poked the human skin on the floor, “This human skin is intact, not damaged even after being squeezed. Perhaps it’s already been made into a supernatural item?”
“Is she dead?” Jiang Yu Xin walked up beside him and asked curiously, “What exactly is this thing? Is it the kind of monster from legends?”
“It’s like this, so it must be dead. Probably some stray wild ghost that escaped from somewhere; it’s scary-looking but pretty weak, though this human skin might be useful.” Zhang Qian said.
“What use could something this dangerous have? Make it into a doll?” Yu Xin asked.
“Since this is something from a ghost’s body, it must carry the fierce ghost’s aura; if worn on the body, could it disguise as a fierce ghost and avoid attacks from other ghosts?” Zhang Qian used the extendable baton to lift the human skin, unfurling it in the air.
The human skin was very complete, with only a straight wound on the back, somewhat like the skin suit from Ultraman, fully able to accommodate a person inside.
“Who knows, maybe we can collect it and try?” Jiang Yu Xin was slightly stunned, not expecting the human skin to have such a use.
“Later, I need to deal with that guy in the compartment first.” Zhang Qian placed the human skin on a clean spot on the floor and turned to look at the compartment.
Liu Yu in the compartment was still quietly peeling Zhuang Min’s skin, seemingly unaware of the abnormality outside.
Her technique was a bit rough, the wounds on Zhuang Min’s body crooked and jagged, torn in a messy way.
“Brother Qian, something of this level you could kill anytime, right?” Liu Chuang sidled up to Zhang Qian and started flattering.
“Taking her out would be easy, but it’s strange that she hasn’t come out to attack us at all.” Zhang Qian said meaningfully, “That Wang Ying earlier was very proactive; is Liu Yu somehow special?”
At these words, Liu Yu’s action paused briefly, then she raised her face to look at the classmates outside.
Her gaze swept around before locking onto Tong Tong.
Might as well kill you first…
“Patter, patter.”
Boots striking the floor produced dull footsteps, each step using full body strength.
The classmates unanimously shrank behind Zhang Qian, treating him as their backbone.
With Zhang Qian blocking in front, they felt a bit more confident.
“Go for it, Brother Qian, we’re counting on you.”
“When my Brother Qian makes a move, this little zombie is done for with a flick.”
“Quick, use a magic spell to instant-kill her; I don’t want to stay in this dump one second longer.”
Having witnessed Zhang Qian’s skills, they were no longer worried about Liu Yu harming them and just wanted to leave this place ASAP.
“Hm… from the looks of it, she’s much better than the previous one.” Zhang Qian muttered to himself.
The current Liu Yu still looked like a tall beauty, the blood on her face not terrifying but adding a demonic allure.
“Brother Qian, do you Taoists have a habit of capturing female ghosts?” Liu Chuang joked, “Look at this Liu Yu, she’s pretty hot, wanna cosplay Ning Caichen?”
Tsk tsk tsk, you’re asking for it.
Zhang Qian silently mourned for Liu Chuang in his mind, glanced at Liu Yu then at Jiang Yu Xin, and deliberately said, “I think she looks pretty good like this; what do you think?”
Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Yu Xin’s face stiffened, and she gave Liu Chuang a cold glance, “Heh… yeah, she’s quite good-looking.”
Liu Chuang inexplicably shivered, feeling a chill on his body.
Then he yelled again, “Holy crap, she’s coming at me!”
Liu Yu’s gaze suddenly turned to Liu Chuang; her waist bent, hands on the ground, crawling toward him in a twisted posture.
Her joints collided with the floor producing thudding sounds, her hair flailing wildly in front of her head, somewhat like the fierce ghost image common in horror films.
Plus that venomous glare, she no longer had the eerie beauty from before, only the madness to tear everything apart.
Seeing Liu Yu getting closer, Liu Chuang immediately shrank behind Zhang Qian and pleaded, “Brother Qian, save me!”
