Chapter 131: Ghost Controls Ghost
The extremely terrifying Ghost Shopkeeper that appeared in the Freedom Fighters’ memory has now been made into a weapon by Jiang Shan. This happened just as he and Qin Xi were preparing to head to Ghost Park.
Without anyone noticing, Jiang Shan had put it into the handbag, and black blood began continuously seeping out from those nine palm-sized sheets of dehydrated human skin.
The characters originally engraved on the human skin vanished into thin air under the soaking of the black blood.
As the black blood was gradually “absorbed” by the human skin, a segment of weird text that looked like it was handwritten by a living person began to appear on the human skin.
“My memory in the Yin Ghost has disappeared? This is bad. The Yin Ghost that balances the Yang Ghost has been detained by him. Once the Ghost Lotus is fully controlled by that woman, my plan will fail at the last moment.”
“From the moment the Luck Ghost failed to split successfully, I should have anticipated the situation that might happen now. Ghost Controls Ghost is indeed very difficult to achieve. If this person didn’t die to the Ghost Lotus, I would have no choice but to use the Yang Ghost. What a pity, I’d have to endure another thirty years.”
As time passed,
The words on the dehydrated human skin that resembled a person’s inner monologue began to disappear, and finally all the characters vanished, leaving only one sentence:
“Go find He Qiong, kill ‘him’, and I can let everyone leave the Rain World and restrict Ghost Rain.”
After this sentence fully appeared, these nine sheets of human skin simultaneously began emitting a strong fetid smell.
This smell was like snakes and insects swimming in water, drifting through the thick handbag into the hotel lobby.
Chilling, ice-cold.
“What is this smell? No, this feeling… This fetid smell is from a ghost!”
Just as Jiang Shan was carrying the bag and walking to the hotel entrance, he suddenly frowned tightly and immediately threw the handbag in his hand outward.
At the same time,
A dazzling silver light instantly pierced through the handbag in mid-air.
“Hm? These nine sheets of human skin are actually a ghost in a very strange state. Did that man split this ghost into nine parts? And even ‘left’ his own consciousness on these split ghosts?”
“I originally thought the Ghost Shopkeeper was a ghost with wisdom, accomplishing things ghosts couldn’t do by assigning missions to living people, but it seems that so-called Ghost Shopkeeper was just a smokescreen. The real master was hiding in these sheets of human skin.”
After seeing the newly issued “mission” on the human skin through Ghost Domain, Jiang Shan stood in place and sneered inwardly.
The source of the fetid smell now permeating the air was a ghost.
This ghost had been split into nine parts by a person using some strange method.
And on those human skin-like ghosts, there seemed to be remnants of that handsome man’s consciousness.
Immediately,
Jiang Shan urged the Blood Ghost to launch an attack on one of the sheets of human skin.
“Even the ghost’s own memory is gone. Consciousness erased? Or transferred? Guilty conscience. It seems that man is the dominant force behind the appearance of Ghost Rain.”
When he discovered that those split ghosts had completely blank memories, Jiang Shan frowned slightly.
You have to know,
Even for ghosts, as long as they appear in the world, there will always be some memories in their consciousness.
These memories are nothing more than fragments of killing people or scenes of wandering.
The Blood Ghost’s consciousness attack targets the memory level.
Because of its characteristic of existing only in the “present,” its supernatural power will “erase” the memories in a person or ghost’s consciousness.
If looking for a more appropriate metaphor, Jiang Shan immediately thought of a word:
Formatting.
But in that incomplete ghost’s consciousness,
He saw no memories at all. Not only were there no human memories, even the ghost’s memories had weirdly disappeared.
So he continued using the Blood Ghost to attack the remaining eight sheets of human skin.
“No memories at all. Even the Blood Ghost can’t erase such scattered memories in such a short time. It seems that man had prepared in advance.”
Jiang Shan continued pondering:
“According to He Qiong’s previous life file, she might not be as important as imagined, but she is currently the most promising breakthrough to understand all this. Finding her is still the top priority.”
“But the ability of the ghost controlled by that man can actually affect consciousness. If I can kill him, this ghost might help me become an anomaly.”
After roughly sensing the ability of the ghost controlled by the man, Jiang Shan’s eyes flickered.
A ghost that can act on consciousness plays an important role in becoming an anomaly, and the most important problem he now faces in becoming an anomaly is consciousness.
Every day, the Blood Ghost erodes Jiang Shan’s body, and it won’t be long before the Blood Ghost completely replaces his body.
In the face of the supernatural,
A living person’s consciousness is as fragile as thin paper, shattering at a poke.
So this is why he covets that ghost so much.
After confirming there was no immediate danger,
Jiang Shan strode toward the handbag, then took those nine sheets of human skin out of the bag.
“It seems my guess was correct. That man in the white robe with a handsome appearance is trying to control Ghost Rain. He somehow managed to control part of Ghost Rain’s abilities.”
“Isn’t He Qiong female? What does this ‘him’ written on the human skin mean? Never mind that for now. Finding He Qiong might solve these mysteries.”
Jiang Shan stood in place, pondering deeply. In this weird Rain World, as he gathered more information, things were gradually coming to light.
“Brother Jiang, I need a sheet of Ghost Money.”
Qin Xi, standing in place and watching Jiang Shan’s actions, was nervous for a while. Only after seeing Jiang Shan’s expression return to normal did he relax, let out a long breath, and say:
“If no muddy road appears outside the Ghost Hotel, the method to actively enter Ghost Park and Ghost Street is to write the corresponding number on Ghost Money with blood, then light the Ghost Money, and the road will automatically appear.”
Saying this,
Qin Xi pushed open the door of the Ghost Hotel and pointed with his finger at the void in the darkness outside the hotel, as if it didn’t exist.
“Numbers? Do Ghost Street and Ghost Park have numbers?” Jiang Shan said.
“Just the numbers I know number over twenty. Someone has tallied them, and there are at least over eighty numbers for Ghost Street and Ghost Park, each with different Ghost Streets and Ghost Parks.”
After taking the Ghost Money from Jiang Shan’s hand, Qin Xi bit his finger and quickly wrote the number on it, then lit it.
“Brother Jiang, there’s a problem!”
The eerie green fire made Qin Xi’s expression change. He frowned and looked at Jiang Shan, continuing:
“When lighting Ghost Money before, the flame color should normally be red, but I’ve never seen this situation before. Even when He Qiong collected nine sheets of human skin back then and we entered this Ghost Park together, the Ghost Money didn’t change like this.”
“Still going in?”
Looking at the muddy road that had appeared out of nowhere in the darkness, Jiang Shan handed the shriveled dehydrated human skin to Qin Xi and said calmly:
“In.”
