Chapter 123: Kneel Down And We’ll Talk About The Price Of Survival
Regarding this group of people who suddenly appeared on Ghost Street, Jiang Shan lit a cigarette with a calm expression.
He had originally planned to leave the Ghost Stall and see if he could find the way to the Ghost Hotel.
But the appearance of this group made him change his mind.
“If they aren’t new unfortunates caught in the Ghost Rain, then this group daring to appear so openly on Ghost Street means they must know some inside information about Ghost Street. Let’s first see how this group performs; it’s not like it’s a big deal to wait this little bit of time anyway.”
Jiang Shan calmly smoked his cigarette while carefully observing this group’s performance.
“Five-person team, actions orderly, expressions panicked but still relatively composed—it seems they aren’t newbies. They’re heading this way; so their target is the Ghost Stall?”
Watching the gradually approaching crowd,
Jiang Shan felt no particular ripples in his heart; he simply quietly awaited their arrival.
“Qin Xi, this is already our fifth time entering this Ghost Street. For half a month straight, the Ghost Stall in this place has been occupied by that old thing. We can’t enter Ghost Streets in other places either. If we keep going like this, we’ll all die.”
In the team approaching the Ghost Stall, a young man full of Chilling suddenly stopped. He looked at another youth beside him with a face full of dissatisfaction and said:
“You unwilling to use those ordinary people to exchange for Ghost Money, but if we don’t kill, there are plenty of others who will! If people don’t kill, the Ghost Stall can’t be held either. Just based on the two ghosts that old thing controls, how are we supposed to fight? In the end, we’ll
Seemingly thinking of some unpleasant experience.
The young man’s expression grew more agitated as he spoke, his voice increasingly angry and impassioned.
“Shut up, Qian Yuyang! Do you want that old thing to discover us?! If it weren’t for your useless little brother not daring to go to the Ghost Pawnshop, would we have to risk our lives against that Old Ghost Liu?! If you say any more useless crap, I’ll be the first to kill you and your brother!” Qin Xi said with a grim face and low angry rebuke.
His voice carried thick Killing Intent,
Just hearing this voice conveyed the ruthlessness of this man.
Qian Yuyang, who was scolded, glanced resentfully at Qin Xi, then fell silent.
“You all know Old Ghost Liu’s abilities. It’s now been an hour and a half since the Hundred Ghosts procession; he’s probably sleeping and resting with high Probability. Once we go in, kill him immediately. If successful, we can Survive; if not.”
At this point, Qin Xi also stopped.
He waved his hand to signal the team to gather, then looked at them with icy eyes and said in a low voice:
“After taking the Mission from the Ghost Shopkeeper, us five are grasshoppers on the same rope. I know many of you are dissatisfied with me—what can you do about it? Failing the Mission means death for all. Once we finish this job, we might complete the Ghost Shopkeeper’s Mission and leave this Ghost Place.”
“So put away any dissatisfaction with me. I don’t have the energy to placate you. When we’re all going to die, do I need to say what’s most important?”
This speech from the young man pinned down everyone in the team; what they craved most in their hearts was:
Escape this Ghost Place,
And Survive.
Qin Xi coldly snorted at the crowd with varied expressions:
“Quick battle, quick decision—this time we absolutely must kill that old thing!”
The rain grew heavier, even making the entire Street hazy due to the rising water vapor.
Seeing the hand signal,
The team pressed on through the heavy rain.
And a few minutes earlier,
Jiang Shan could no longer see the team’s traces, but knowing their target was this Ghost Stall,
He never relaxed his Vigilance, quietly waiting for the Unexpected Change to occur.
In this place without Law constraints,
Jiang Shan didn’t believe anyone who could Survive here was some good man or woman.
At a certain moment,
The stall’s Curtain was suddenly lifted,
Accompanied by a Chilling coldness that chilled to the bone—this was the precursor to a Fierce Ghost launching an Attack.
“Coming at me to kill right away? No, they’re not after me—it’s that Human Face man. Looks like I’m the scapegoat.”
Facing the five who suddenly surged into the Ghost Stall with savage faces, Jiang Shan’s expression didn’t change at all.
“Who is this?”
The instant doubt arose in Qin Xi’s mind,
Blood-red Ghost Characters crawled over every team member’s body; feeling the Ghost Blood’s Suppression, they were horrified.
“How is that possible?! My two ghosts inside me are both Suppressed? He’s not Old Ghost Liu! Damn it!”
Like entering a blood pool, Qin Xi, “covered in blood,” looked shocked at Jiang Shan.
He couldn’t understand why this man in a black suit, with calm eyes, could Suppress him in an instant.
He himself was a “Monster” who Controlled two ghosts, just like Old Ghost Liu.
Amid the crowd’s terror,
A bizarre text soaked in Black Blood appeared unbidden in their minds:
“Kneel.”
Intense Pain made the team lose sensation throughout their bodies instantly; their legs Softened, and they knelt directly on the ground.
Ghost Blood’s Suppression,
Ghost Characters bringing rotting Pain,
The Blood Ghost’s unheralded Consciousness Attack.
From bursting into the Ghost Stall, in just a few seconds, this fully equipped Ghost Wielder team was completely wiped out.
“Aaaah~!”
A middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground let out a pained wail.
This was the ability gained after Ghost Characters Stole the Dead Face Ghost’s trait.
Rotting.
This ability was extremely convenient for Jiang Shan in certain aspects.
Oppression from Death plus Pain enough to cause fainting,
Some things didn’t even need him to ask; many Ghost Wielders or ordinary people would spill everything.
After all, the dual Torment of body and mind was enough to break most people’s Mind in this World.
“I’m Qin Xi, the Captain of this team. We offended you. If we can do things for you, please spare us. I know a lot of Information about this place.”
Enduring the intense Pain throughout his body, Qin Xi spoke with a trembling voice.
Though he considered himself one of the Stronger in this Ghost Rain World,
The cruel reality now made him understand that this man with eyes devoid of Emotion, smoking, could kill them all at any time.
But from Jiang Shan’s actions, he knew they were alive because they had value.
Perhaps Information about this place,
Or wanting to use their team,
Either way, since they hadn’t been killed under this man’s mercy, there was room for negotiation.
“Not bad on-the-spot analysis skills—a talent.”
Hearing Qin Xi’s words, Jiang Shan raised an eyebrow, gave him a few extra looks, then asked calmly:
“I can choose not to kill you, but you need to show me your value. You’re the Captain, so tell me what you can do for me.”
“Think it over before speaking—after all, this concerns all your lives.”
