Chapter 165: The True Substitute Death Ghost Shen Bao
Actually, when the Ghost Rain Ghost Domain first appeared in the Present World, Jiang Shan should have thought:
If the things in the mirror appear in reality,
then exactly where is in the mirror and where is in reality?
The special feature of the Ghost Rain’s Ghost Domain is that it is an independent Supernatural Space, and when this Ghost Domain envelops reality, does reality then become equivalent to being in a Supernatural Space?
Mirrors formed by accumulated water,
The rainwater reflections draw people’s bodies and consciousness entirely into the Ghost Rain’s Ghost Domain.
A better way to understand it:
Under the effect of double mirrors, countless ordinary people’s bodies exist in the Present World, while their consciousness is in the Ghost Rain’s Supernatural Space.
Although it is unknown exactly when Shen Bao regained the Supernatural power of the Ghost Rain, the silenced Sun Yan and the Derived Supernatural of Shen Bao are enough to explain everything.
Now,
The entire Dachun City, or even anyone within the Ghost Rain’s range who has been touched by rainwater, their consciousness unknowingly exists in the Ghost Rain’s Supernatural Space.
And Shen Bao, who controls the Ghost Rain, as long as he wants to “Rebirth,” these people could all be the breeding ground for his Rebirth.
In other words,
Tens of millions of people touched by the Ghost Rain will from now on be Shen Bao’s substitutes, each one having the potential to one day be eroded by the Supernatural power of the Ghost Rain, lose consciousness, and become Derived Supernatural.
Perhaps each of his Rebirths requires a heavy price.
But this utilization of the Ghost Lotus and Ghost Rain characteristics even makes him nearly Immortal in the coming decades.
Unless someone can kill all the people already influenced by the Supernatural power of the Ghost Rain, Shen Bao, without an anchoring target, will naturally die as well.
But no one can bear such a cost.
Even if Jiang Shan is willing to be the executioner, Headquarters will not agree, and even some Ghost Wielders will not agree.
Because among these millions, there might be their family members.
“From the heavy rain that first started in South City District, Shen Bao probably already had this idea in mind with great probability; scheming such a thing using the characteristics of Two Ghosts absolutely couldn’t have been thought of in just one or two days.”
“If not for Sun Yan and me affecting the extent to which Shen Bao controlled the Ghost Rain, his strength at this moment might not even be something Old Qin could oppose, but now there might still be a chance.”
Jiang Shan, sitting in the gazebo and smoking, was calmly pondering at this moment what to do next:
“Those Nine Ghosts should be Shen Bao’s desperate measure to survive by severing his tail; whether it’s those Nine Ghosts or the white-robed man shattered into chunks of meat, they are all just smoke bombs released by Shen Bao.”
If according to Jiang Shan’s initial guess, those Nine Ghosts all have Shen Bao’s Memory, then how could he allow himself to be detained.
Even if each ghost’s Terror Level is not high, that is still Nine Ghosts!
Just these Nine Ghosts gathered together, let alone those dozen or so Ghost Wielders, even Jiang Shan would need to be cautious to prevent being attacked by one of the ghosts.
So when he learned that Cao Yanhua and the others had detained Three Ghosts, he immediately abandoned that guess.
If handling a matter with huge impact and double-edged benefits, then consider it from the big picture.
The situation in Dachun City now is very clear,
Through the Ghost Domain, Jiang Shan sensed that there are still forty-three ghosts in Dachun City, among which four ghosts’ Supernatural Interference affected his isolation, indicating their Terror Levels are very high.
“The Dead Face Ghost’s nearly Sixth Layer half-strength Ghost Domain couldn’t sense it, but it can roughly be seen as Ghost Street, Ghost School, Ghost Hotel, Ghost Park, these four places.”
“Rather than calling them ghosts, they are more like Supernatural Lands specially designed by Shen Bao; Terror Levels not low, but seem to have certain restrictions; these are not big problems for now.”
Because the influence range of these four ghosts is at most one street, Jiang Shan plans to set this matter aside for now, blockade it first and handle it later when there is a chance.
The remaining thirty-nine wandering ghosts have varying Terror Levels, but for him, they are not too difficult to handle.
The “Three Ghosts Detention Small Kit” is enough for Jiang Shan to detain Fierce Ghosts without any risk.
Moreover, now he has plenty of leeway to handle these Supernatural Events; even if the Dead Face Ghost has gained a fourth Ghost Face, the balance in his anomalous body is even better than before.
Previously, using Supernatural might require considering Resurrection,
But now, as long as he doesn’t overuse it for a long time or excessively use the Supernatural of a single ghost, he doesn’t need to worry about balance at all.
So apart from Shen Bao this hidden Supernatural Event, Dachun City now can be said to be “peaceful and prosperous” with “national stability and people’s peace.”
Ten minutes after the Ghost Domain withdrew,
Perhaps Shen Bao knew that continuing would have no effect, so the chilling heavy rain stopped.
The sky over the entire Dachun City at this moment was clear for miles, with intense sunlight as if trying to warm this city that had “fallen into the abyss” a bit.
“It seems the Ghost Rain has indeed gone silent; it is now just a medium used by Shen Bao to connect reality and Supernatural Land; even if I suppress the Ghost Rain with Ghost Characters, this medium won’t disappear.”
“If I use Gold to detain the Ghost Rain, once the Supernatural of this Source Ghost disappears, everyone’s consciousness in Dachun City will directly separate from their bodies, and tens of millions of people will die at that time.”
Jiang Shan, leaning against the pillar and taking a drag of his cigarette, frowned as he looked at the Ghost Rain’s main body floating on the lake surface, deep in thought:
“Now all ordinary people tainted by the Supernatural power of the Ghost Rain, their consciousness is entirely preserved in the Ghost Rain’s Supernatural Space, and since Shen Bao failed to control the Ghost Rain, Sun Yan’s consciousness is probably also in the Ghost Rain’s Supernatural Space.”
“So she might also be able to resurrect on these ordinary people like Shen Bao; if the assumption holds, if she wants to live, who would she choose?”
Thinking of this,
Jiang Shan’s eyes flickered; he already had the answer in his heart!
He Qiong!
The body born from the Derived Supernatural of the Ghost Lotus that he left in the Study Safe House.
For this body, Shen Bao absolutely would not use it for Rebirth.
After all, this body is the Derived Supernatural of the Ghost Lotus, and Jiang Shan, who also possesses the Ghost Lotus Supernatural, is fully capable of influencing Shen Bao through a medium.
So if his assumption holds, then Sun Yan is most likely to Rebirth from this body.
In just a few dozen seconds, the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain once again covered the entire Dachun City.
In the Ghost Domain, as long as Jiang Shan wills it, anywhere without too strong Supernatural Interference, everything in Dachun City will be revealed to him.
“Found it.”
Through the Ghost Domain, Jiang Shan instantly located Sun Yan.
On the floor of his study room lay a woman whose appearance and figure were stunningly beautiful; her eyes were tightly closed as if in a coma, but her body was very strange, as if pieced together from lotus roots woven from the Muddy Ground.
Most strikingly,
She has No Arms.
