Chapter 153: The Five Senses Of Heaven And Man
Now, the Ghost Lotus that can restrict Ghost Rain has been controlled by Shen Bao again, and Sun Yan seems to have stolen the Ghost Rain’s main body from his hands through Ghost Rain’s Characteristics.
This minister’s daughter truly amazed Jiang Shan with her temporary judgment and courage when facing the supernatural.
“Ghost Controls Ghost, steal ghost with ghost.”
She completely disrupted Shen Bao’s nearly seventy years of scheming with her own power alone.
If viewed with He Qiong as the node:
Before He Qiong,
The person who controlled Ghost Lotus was Sun Yan, and the one controlling those two Short Old Men was Shen Bao.
After He Qiong,
The person who controlled Ghost Lotus was Shen Bao, and the one controlling those two Short Old Men became Sun Yan.
This conjecture perfectly explains all the encounters Jiang Shan had when he entered Ghost Rain back then.
Everything is a coincidence,
but everything is not a coincidence!
And now, the way to break the situation has been grasped by Jiang Shan.
As long as he controls Shen Bao’s Ninth Life, everything that follows won’t even require him; Sun Yan, who controls Ghost Rain’s main body, can solve everything.
Although everything in Ghost Rain is elusive,
the things she left behind allow Jiang Shan to quickly find the key to breaking the situation.
“Sun Yan is indeed extraordinary; the way she reminds others is also quite unique.”
Jiang Shan, standing in front of Lotus Flower He Qiong with eyes full of greed, touched his neck and thought gravely.
If not for the Blood Ghost, he would most likely have died on the spot.
Although he didn’t know if Sun Yan had any backup plans, none of that mattered anymore.
“Since Shen Bao wants me so much to ensure the birth of his Ninth Life, even making a Promise to give me part of Ghost Lotus’s supernatural power, wouldn’t it seem too distant if I stood on ceremony with him?”
Although many of Jiang Shan’s current expressions were feigned, the greed in his eyes was real.
How could a ghost that allows one to “rebirth” and anchor the Timeline not be tempting?
After Jiang Shan spoke, the atmosphere at the scene inexplicably became tense.
After a long time, that Weird voice as if eight people were speaking together suddenly rang out:
“I can give you part of Ghost Lotus’s supernatural power, but how can you make me believe you won’t suddenly go back on your word? I can die silently, but I am Dachun City’s second Person in Charge; I must ensure Dachun City’s safety.”
“If you can’t give me a reasonable answer, then come kill me. The terror of Ghost Lotus is beyond your imagination, and the ghost in your body should be in Balance now, right? Do you dare to control it?”
“What a silent death, what a guarantee of Dachun City’s safety.”
Listening to Shen Bao’s touching words, Jiang Shan sneered inwardly; he stared fixedly at that “Lotus Flower He Qiong” and slowly said:
“You don’t need to worry about this. Old Qin knows Shen Bao’s abilities; he has already prepared to take action to solve this matter. This is my only chance for atonement.”
“As long as this is done, even if I fall out with Headquarters, Headquarters will somewhat hesitate because of this and won’t let Old Qin kill me by force. Do you think I will go back on my word?”
Jiang Shan’s words hit Shen Bao’s weakness; he had also heard about Old Qin, the unique Anomaly from the Republic of China period.
Even back then, every time he was reborn, the Anchor Point anchored by Ghost Lotus was in the Taoist temple near Qin Family.
So after just a few seconds, that Weird voice rang out again:
“You’ve convinced me. We can’t waste any more time. If we continue to delay, more and more people will die inside Ghost Rain, and Shen Bao’s Control over Ghost Rain will become stronger. By then, even if I fully control Ghost Lotus, my restriction on him will be ineffective.”
“Ghost Lotus’s main body is the nine Palms on my body. Come over now, break off one grayish-white, bloodless Palm from my body and eat it. That Palm is the Ghost Lotus that has completely gone dormant after confronting Ghost Rain.”
If others didn’t know that the consciousness in He Qiong’s Body in front of them was actually Shen Bao, then all her words would indeed be very convincing.
A Person in Charge willing to sacrifice his Life for the country and the people, dutiful and responsible.
Shen Bao must know that Jiang Shan had seen the message on Sun Yan’s Satellite Phone, so she deliberately said these words.
Imperceptibly increasing the severity of the situation,
Using her identity to make Jiang Shan lower his Vigilance and touch Ghost Lotus, then activate Ghost Lotus’s Killing Pattern, anchor his past, and even Erase his Consciousness.
Unfortunately,
Jiang Shan has no future, nor a past!
Back then, he originally planned to use Ghost Mirror to copy Sun Yan’s action of stealing Ghost Rain’s supernatural power, but this plan had one prerequisite:
Medium!
According to his conjecture:
Back then, Sun Yan did indeed control Ghost Lotus, but because Shen Bao’s Consciousness existed within Ghost Lotus, with two Consciousnesses in the same ghost’s Body, collision and confrontation were inevitable.
From the result, Sun Yan lost.
But she used the characteristics of Ghost Rain’s Mirror Surface to pull off an extremely bold move, successfully swapping identities with Shen Bao.
Supernatural Power doesn’t act on people or ghosts out of thin air; the Medium that allowed Sun Yan to steal Ghost Rain’s supernatural power was the Consciousness collision within Ghost Lotus!
This was also the prerequisite for Jiang Shan to use Ghost Mirror to steal the supernatural power, but he didn’t expect Shen Bao’s Attack to be anchored to the past.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan replied “good” and quickly walked toward He Qiong in the form of a Lotus Flower.
The moment he touched Ghost Lotus,
Jiang Shan felt his Consciousness suddenly begin to enter a Trance.
Countless Emotions from when he was born in the past now seemed to refill his entire Body under the supernatural influence:
The Fear when he first arrived in This World;
The confusion when he saw death but did not save;
The indifference when influenced by the ghost’s Emotion;
Pain, anger, guilt
When Jiang Shan first arrived in This World, he was just a Doctoral Student who hadn’t graduated from University yet.
At the beginning, he was just an ordinary person, but he became numb and indifferent through these supernatural events one after another.
As countless Emotions erupted,
A Chilling sensation appeared out of thin air in every corner of his Body, every cell, as if it had always been there.
This was definitely not the feedback from controlling a ghost,
This supernatural searching for and linking to the Medium meant that the ghost had launched an Attack!
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shan’s Body began to turn Illusory, as if it would disappear from This World at any moment.
Countless Dark Shadows suddenly surged around him at some imperceptible moment; upon closer inspection, those Dark Shadows were actually countless Jiang Shans with different expressions!
At this time,
Cao Yang, hiding in the surrounding “Dead Person Lotus,” saw this Weird scene and revealed deep Fear in his eyes.
On those countless moving Dark Shadows, he saw Jiang Shan’s past and felt a Threat from the depths of his Soul.
His intuition told him:
As long as he had even the slightest contact with those Dark Shadows, he would die on the spot.
“？!”
Cao Yang, who was hesitating whether to execute the final Plan, suddenly contracted his pupils; he looked in Shock at Jiang Shan, who was being attacked by the ghost.
Ghost Lotus’s terrifying supernatural power was as if it were nothing; Jiang Shan, surrounded by countless past versions of himself, calmly looked at “Lotus Flower He Qiong” and said coldly:
“Shen Bao, it’s time to hit the road.”
