Chapter 156: Steal The Ghost Lotus!
Once all conditions were ready, Jiang Shan unhesitatingly used his Ghost Domain to transfer the Ghost Mirror into his own hand.
When he saw this Republic of China style, extremely weird Mirror, Shen Bao completely changed from his previous carefree indifference, and only heard the voice of those eight people speaking in unison in fear:
“I am an Anomaly, I am a Ghost! If you do this, we will only trigger the Ghost Rain’s Killing Pattern, and then we will all die!”
“I cannot give you the Ghost Lotus’s supernatural power, that was a lie! I have other ways to make that Qin Family kid unable to find you, I can let you control Ghost Rain! I can let you live on!”
Hearing all this, Jiang Shan remained unmoved.
From beginning to end, he had never believed a single word from Shen Bao.
According to the records of missing persons in Dachun City Chengguan District over the past seventy years that he had accessed,
Excluding homicide and other normal missing cases, over these seventy years, Dachun City had intermittently had a total of over seventy-eight thousand missing people!
If nothing unexpected happened, most of these people were dragged into the Ghost Rain by Shen Bao, using their lives to help him control the Ghost Rain.
Ghost Wielders who had already lost their humanity, they
Would there be anything credible about them?
Without hurriedly pulling off the black cloth on the Ghost Mirror, Jiang Shan silently adjusted the position of “He Qiong.”
Because the true form of the Ghost Lotus, that palm shaped like flower petals, grew on He Qiong’s body in an irregular pattern, and it also needed to avoid the Dead Machine part.
“What I am controlling now is not Ghost Rain, it is Ghost Lotus! Without the medium, you cannot replicate that girl! Doing this will only get both of us killed here!”
That voice began to turn panicked, even somewhat incoherent.
But because of the prophecy of the Ghost Characters beforehand, Jiang Shan understood very well:
This panicked, fearful voice seemed indeed not to have too many problems on the surface, but it was just Shen Bao’s disguise!
If a person held the weakness of the one who wanted to kill him, or even a lifesaving method, would he chatter endlessly here, only trying to make him stop?
Speaking it out, preserving life first is the mindset of a normal person.
A person who schemed for Ghost Rain over seventy years, he could be mad, but he absolutely would not be a fool.
“He says this only to paralyze me, to make me firmly believe my own thoughts have no issues, and then just as the Ghost Characters prophesied, invade my mind with consciousness and oust and take over.”
Jiang Shan calmly watched Shen Bao’s performance.
When everything was nearly prepared, he took out a withered, weird Finger from his pocket.
“The supernatural power of Ghost Rain?! This Finger is a Puzzle Piece of Ghost Rain!”
The moment he saw the Withered Finger, Shen Bao was greatly shocked in his heart. From the time he controlled the Ghost Lotus that could resurrect endlessly, he had never felt fear like this.
If Sun Yan stealing the Ghost Rain he was about to control through the Characteristics of Ghost Rain was damaging his muscles and bones,
Then Jiang Shan’s current action was digging up his roots, taking his life!
“These juniors, these juniors! Seventy years of scheming actually ends up like this! Hoo… I want to die, I want to die!”
Knowing all plans had failed, Shen Bao did not hesitate at all, and suddenly began repeating a sentence in his mind:
“I want to die, I want to die, I want to die”
As Shen Bao continuously sought Death, he seemed to be madly triggering the Killing Pattern of some Ghost. An inexplicable, indescribable terrifying Supernatural instantly permeated around him.
“?”
When he sensed this Supernatural, Jiang Shan’s expression slightly changed. Although he did not know what backup Shen Bao had activated, he temporarily did not want to deal with it.
He flung his hand with almost no hesitation, and the Withered Finger in his hand flew out like a dart.
Restriction Ghost Domain, nail down Consciousness.
This Ghost Finger suspected to be a Puzzle Piece of Ghost Rain was the most important medium Jiang Shan used to make Shen Bao connect with Ghost Rain!
That withered, shriveled, skin-and-bones Finger actually directly pierced through He Qiong’s skull, deeply embedding inside.
“Cao Yang!”
With Jiang Shan’s shout, Cao Yang, who was ready to lift the black cloth at any moment, immediately took Action.
When the Ghost Mirror reflected Jiang Shan and He Qiong on the ground,
This Mirror that could not reflect human forms and detained countless Fierce Ghosts suddenly showed an extremely weird scene.
In the Mirror, a handsome man wearing a white coat from the Republic of China era was stretching his hand out of the Mirror, with a look of anger and fear on his face, struggling to leave the Mirror.
And behind this man, one by one bluish, pale, rotten Palms stretched out from all directions of the Mirror, grabbing his body and legs, continuously dragging him back into the Mirror.
According to the Ghost Mirror’s pattern, normal people appear blank on the Mirror Surface, because the Ghost Mirror needs some time to leave behind a person’s shadow.
But the current situation…
“The Resurrection pattern of the Ghost Mirror is to copy a person entirely to some past time node. After the person whose image is left in the Ghost Mirror dies, if they can receive timely help, the dead person can come back to life in that past state.”
“Although the so-called Rebirth method of Ghost Lotus is different from the Ghost Mirror, they are nearly similar, so Shen Bao’s true body may directly appear in the Ghost Mirror, but it is also possible he previously left an image in the Ghost Mirror.”
Jiang Shan frowned. After seeing no abnormalities appear, he continued observing.
Among the countless Palms behind that handsome white-robed man, he vaguely saw a Short Old Man standing to the man’s left side, short, without facial features, only eye sockets.
Ghost Rain!
“The medium that has already appeared between Ghost Rain and Shen Bao—if there’s a problem, I can have Cao Yang cover the Ghost Mirror at any time. Whether I can steal the Ghost Lotus depends on fate now.”
Suddenly.
At this moment, a scene suddenly appeared in the bright Ghost Mirror before Jiang Shan’s eyes.
Behind Shen Bao, in the Darkness of countless Palms, a blurry Humanoid Figure slowly walked from the depths of the Mirror.
No matter how many weird things were in front of this Humanoid Figure, it always appeared extremely clearly in Jiang Shan’s sight.
The terror of the Ghost Mirror began to manifest.
The Humanoid Figure in the Mirror was initially very small, only thumb-sized, appearing in the center of the Mirror, but as it continuously walked forward, the Humanoid Figure grew larger and larger.
Behind the Humanoid Figure was a unique Darkness, like an abyss or a deep road. This Darkness was denser than the Darkness in the Mirror, as if it could overflow the Mirror at any time and bring terror!
And in the Mirror,
Except for that man and the Short Old Man, all the Palms dragging Shen Bao disappeared due to the appearance of this Darkness.
It seemed that in the confrontation of Supernatural between Ghost and Ghost, those Palms representing Ghosts instantly collapsed upon touching the Darkness behind the Humanoid Figure.
At first, Jiang Shan only saw a black blurry outline in the Mirror, but when the figure walked halfway, he could already see the facial features and height.
Further forward, when the person in the Mirror covered about two-thirds, even the Clothes style was clearly visible.
This was a person wearing a black suit, with dark skin, stiff posture, facial features exactly like Jiang Shan’s!
