Chapter 144: The Sudden Attack
If according to Qin Xi’s own account of the time he entered the Ghost Rain, excluding all speculation.
He entered the supernatural world of the Ghost Rain during the period when the Ghost Rain had just resurrected, that is, one month ago.
But Wang Chaling was able to have Hong Ze and this group of people kill Qin Xi under such circumstances, which shows that he has some connection with certain things in this Ghost Rain.
“Qin Xi.”
Jiang Shan kept repeating this name in his mind. At this time, he also couldn’t guess exactly which person here Qin Xi was associated with.
Earlier, on that Dark Path, he heard Sun Yan’s self-account,
The ghost she controlled seemed to have an ability similar to Ye Zhen’s Substitute Death ghost ability, but it was somewhat different.
Ye Zhen was Substitute Death, while she was Rebirth.
So at that time,
Jiang Shan suspected that Qin Xi was another Rebirth identity of Sun Yan.
But when Qin Xi actively gouged out his own eyes, that terrifying and weird appearance was exactly the same as the Short Old Man.
So Jiang Shan mercilessly used Ghost Characters to suppress him and kicked him until he passed out.
“Assuming that Short Old Man and those nine pieces of human skin are Shen Bao, his purpose is to make me kill Qin Xi. Although what will happen after killing Qin Xi is unknown, this action is definitely beneficial to him.”
Jiang Shan continued analyzing:
“If Wang Chaling really plans to destroy Headquarters, he absolutely wouldn’t let these people do good deeds. It seems there is some unknown transaction between him and this Shen Bao.”
“Set aside Qin Xi’s identity for now. Now, finding him and then finding Sun Yan or He Qiong here, finding them might reveal the inside story here.”
Thinking of this,
He glanced at Hong Ze who was standing obediently in place, and Jiang Shan asked:
“This place is so big, you shouldn’t have been searching together, right? So after killing Qin Xi, what is your method of contact between you? What is the way to leave here?”
According to Hong Ze’s words, it was obvious to discover this problem:
So vast, boundless at a glance, almost like a reservoir-sized Ghost Pool.
If a small team doesn’t disperse, in the Ghost Pool where countless “Dead Person Lotuses” stand densely like weeds, finding one person absolutely cannot be done in three hours.
So Jiang Shan determined that their small team must have some unknown contact method.
“Contact method? Just turn the phone upside down, and the phone can be used normally. I don’t know much about the method to leave here, I feel it should be related to that ‘Spirit Money.'” Hong Ze replied.
Hearing this,
Jiang Shan immediately took out the satellite phone from the handbag, turned it upside down, and found that the phone really restored its signal.
Looking at the positioning on the phone screen that was not far from him, he looked at Hong Ze with flickering eyes and continued asking:
“Spirit Money. What is your basis?”
At this time,
Hong Ze, who had finished searching the body, drew out one from the stack of grayish-white “Spirit Money” in his hand, then lit it under Jiang Shan’s gaze.
This Spirit Money was the supernatural item called “Ghost Money” by the people here.
Without speaking, Jiang Shan just silently watched the Ghost Money burning.
He was also very curious about what other effects this weird paper money that could circulate here had.
Even if Hong Ze didn’t do this, he would have tried it himself.
As the Ghost Money burned, in some unknown place around Jiang Shan and the two, a pitch-black darkness like an abyss suddenly appeared and continuously spread in their sight.
When that Ghost Money was completely burned out,
A muddy road appeared extremely clearly in the darkness in front of the two.
To prove his sincerity, the moment the path appeared, Hong Ze barely squeezed out a smile on his face, then silently walked toward Jiang Shan.
From the moment he saw that black custom suit, he recognized Jiang Shan.
Through the information in the Supernatural Circle, Hong Ze knew that the only way for him to survive was to provide enough value to Jiang Shan.
Although Jiang Shan had a fierce reputation,
He didn’t kill indiscriminately, or rather, he disdained killing those weaklings.
Among the leaked intelligence on these twelve captains and two branch ministers, Hong Ze felt that Jiang Shan was relatively approachable.
So the moment he saw Jiang Shan, he chose to defect and provided all the intelligence he knew.
This action goes without saying,
Not running away, he might even be able to follow Jiang Shan to get an official position and have his wanted status revoked.
If he chose to take this opportunity to escape
Looking at the Ghost Characters floating on the pond near that darkness, Hong Ze shuddered all over. If he had tried to escape just now
And Jiang Shan didn’t know about all the little calculations in Hong Ze’s mind, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care at all.
“Follow me.”
“Ah? Okay!”
Seeing that muddy road that might allow leaving this weird place, Jiang Shan didn’t intend to leave just like that. He felt that all the secrets were within this Ghost Park and Ghost Pool.
If he just left dashingly like this, everything he had done and thought before would become a joke.
Although supernatural events are filled with dangers that can kill instantly at any time, they also hide opportunities.
Since we realize our own cowardice, we should become stronger. We are born weak and fearful, merely turning from fear to fearlessness.
Ghosts can not only kill people but also help people grow in different forms.
Walking continuously toward He Qiong’s positioning location, as the two went deeper into the Ghost Pool,
That fetid, possessing some unknown supernatural pond water began to get deeper and deeper. The water that once only reached Jiang Shan’s thighs now reached his abdomen.
Continued walking.
At a certain moment,
For some reason, at this time, there was suddenly a strong sense of crisis.
Jiang Shan felt a gaze full of malice constantly peeping at him.
As if a ghost was right by his side.
Jiang Shan vigilantly looked around, observing every “Dead Person Lotus” around him. His whole body was tense to the extreme, even spreading the Blood Ghost’s ability around.
However, there was no discovery.
“An illusion? Or am I too sensitive?” He frowned deeply.
But just as Jiang Shan was about to take a step.
Suddenly,
A slit weirdly appeared on his neck.
This slit was very large and deep, almost tearing open his entire spine. In an instant, fresh blood spurted out, splashing onto Hong Ze’s body, and in the blink of an eye, his head fell off.
“Gurgle, hehehe.”
Fresh blood poured back, blocking Jiang Shan’s throat. His headless body staggered a few times but still stood in the water. His vision shifted with the fall of his head.
All this came too fast, without any warning, like unintentionally triggering a ghost’s killing pattern, attacking Jiang Shan in an incomprehensible way.
His head was cut off.
But judging from the wound, a more appropriate description would be:
Jiang Shan’s head was “plucked” off by someone!
