Chapter 132: Qin Xi Restart
Qin Xi took the dehydrated human skin, looked it over, and his face turned pale as he said:
“The Ghost Shopkeeper’s mission has never had the word ‘I’ appear. Ah!”
At a certain moment while Qin Xi was speaking, he suddenly clutched his head in agony, his face full of pain, as if a cold steel needle had pierced into his skull.
The intense pain made him squat on the ground, wailing in agony.
Jiang Shan frowned tightly, watching Qin Xi’s reaction. He seemed to have discovered something in his heart, but he was somewhat uncertain.
After a full moment had passed, Qin Xi stood up, drenched in cold sweat. He looked at Jiang Shan with a face full of pain and said:
“Sorry, Brother Jiang, I wasted time. Lately, I don’t know what’s going on, but my body keeps having bursts of inexplicable pain, like someone is tugging at my soul.”
“The ghost in your body has resurrected? I remember someone in your team said you have rebirth ability. What’s that about?”
Jiang Shan stared at Qin Xi and asked the question he had been doubting in his heart for a long time.
Qin Xi gave a bitter smile and then said:
“Brother Jiang, to be honest with you, I’ve already come to see you as my backbone. I know with my abilities, I absolutely can’t leave here on my own, so I’ll tell you the truth.”
“The ghost I control in my body is very strange. I remember clearly how I controlled my second ghost, but I’m very fuzzy on when I controlled my first ghost.”
“I feel like my memory has a gap. I can’t remember the events before entering here, and as for that so-called ‘rebirth,’ it’s the ability of my first ghost. Calling it rebirth is actually just limb regeneration.”
With that,
Qin Xi took out a knife from his pocket, then without hesitation stabbed it into his left hand.
In the blink of an eye,
In Jiang Shan’s gaze,
Qin Xi’s palm instantly restored to normal, and the bloodstained knife seemed to be affected by some unknown supernatural force, suddenly dropping to the ground.
“Restart?”
Jiang Shan immediately recognized what this so-called “rebirth” really was. He glanced at Qin Xi’s eyes and then asked:
“Tell me, when and where did you first meet He Qiong? What does she look like?”
“We met about 29 days ago in the Ghost Hotel. She had her hair in a high ponytail.”
After recalling for a moment, Qin Xi said slowly, but as he spoke, he suddenly paused, his face full of pain, making Jiang Shan involuntarily narrow his eyes.
“Never mind the headache. Let’s get to business.”
“Mm.”
This muddy road was exactly the same as the one when Jiang Shan burned ghost money to go to the Ghost Hotel back then, without any change.
Endless graveyard and coffins inserted into grave mounds.
As time slowly passed,
A lonely park seemed to be wedged in the crevices of darkness, exuding an indescribable weird atmosphere.
“Brother Jiang, we’ll arrive after walking a bit further.” Qin Xi said softly.
Empty footsteps suddenly rang out at a certain moment; this was the sound of leather shoes stepping on floor tiles.
At the same time,
The view before Jiang Shan suddenly opened up, and his gaze immediately swept around, looking everywhere.
True to its name.
He was now in a garden in the city, surrounded by tall trees growing in twisted, strange postures, with occasional roars from unknown creatures coming from between the branches and leaves.
“Still can’t unfold Ghost Domain. Except for the Dead Face Ghost, the other ghosts in my body aren’t showing this situation. No ghost existence within thirty meters around.”
Just entering Ghost Park, Jiang Shan tried to activate the ghosts in his body. This was experience he had summed up from so many times based on his own situation:
Blood Ghost can detect ghost existence within thirty meters around.
Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain can ensure his next actions and some probing methods.
These two complement each other, allowing Jiang Shan’s detection of the surroundings to reach an extremely high level.
“Where did He Qiong die? Let’s head there now.” Jiang Shan said to Qin Xi.
“Good, it’s not too far from here, but we should prepare first. He Qiong died in a pond in the garden. There’s a ghost there, and I still don’t know its killing pattern to this day. I only know its attacks are terrifying.”
Qin Xi gripped the severed scythe, walking ahead while speaking.
Just thinking of that ghost and its frightening killing method made his hands tremble uncontrollably.
Although he had experienced quite a few supernatural events in this month, every time he thought of that ghost, fear still inevitably arose in his heart.
And his teammate, that ghost wielder who controlled two ghosts,
In just one encounter, he suddenly died, the whole process not even taking a second.
Bugs scream twice before dying, but his teammate didn’t even finish speaking before dying so aggrievedly?
But tension aside,
Qin Xi’s current state was not that panicked.
After all, in this Ghost Park, aside from that ghost, there were just some unlucky ones swept in by ghost rain.
After all, he had already come “eight times,” and was more familiar with everything here than could be.
While walking, Jiang Shan’s voice suddenly rang out:
“The intelligence you told me before that there’s no ghosts in Ghost Park needs changing now. I have gold boxes in my bag; put them in there in a bit.”
“Them?!”
Hearing this, Qin Xi abruptly stopped, then his gaze quickly swept around.
He saw at least four blood-red humanoid figures in the surrounding woods, standing motionless in place.
“How is that possible? How could there be ghosts in this Ghost Park?”
Although Qin Xi didn’t know why this thought involuntarily came to his mind, he had no mind to think about it now.
Although he knew Jiang Shan was strong, four ghosts were enough to give the two of them trouble.
If careless,
Death was also possible, so he didn’t dare to be negligent.
“A total of five ghosts. They’re all suppressed by my ghost. The ghosts are in their bodies. Take those ghosts out and put them in the gold boxes.” Jiang Shan said slowly.
These five ghosts’ terror level wasn’t high; they hadn’t even fully resurrected.
The feeling these ghosts gave Jiang Shan was like they had been detained for a long time and just “released.”
Although he had easily suppressed these ghosts with ghost characters, Jiang Shan still kept a mind in the back of his head.
“Why would so many newly resurrected, or even not yet resurrected, ghosts suddenly appear here? Qin Xi is very unlikely to be lying to me now. It seems detaining the Ghost Shopkeeper has broken some balance.”
“But that’s good. That man absolutely isn’t kind-hearted. Since he can control the entry and exit of living people, it means he’s definitely using these living people and ghost wielders for his own schemes, fighting for benefits with others’ lives. Killing someone like that is fine.”
Watching Qin Xi detain ghost after ghost, Jiang Shan thought to himself.
Suddenly, a scream came from the surrounding woods, and in the scream, a familiar voice caught his attention:
“Ah! There are ghosts here, let’s run!”
“Little Brother Jiang?!”
Sorry brothers, my family needed care tonight, so the update is late. Begging brothers for forgiveness.
Gratitude for your support, thank you!
