Chapter 196: A Wedding Of Life And Death, Hand In Hand To The End
Yang Jian was well aware of the weirdness of the Human Skin Paper. Since it was unwilling to find a way for him, there was no need for Yang Jian to consider so much. According to his guess:
If he walked to the side of that Mummy Bride, he would definitely suffer some extremely terrifying and unstoppable attack.
Death was certain.
But seeing the fresh blood-like wedding dress on the Mummy Bride, Yang Jian felt that there was a high probability he would become this ghost’s Ghost Slave, so he said those words to the Human Skin Paper.
His meaning was very clear:
If I, Yang Jian, die, although he didn’t know if he would be turned into a Ghost Slave by the Ghost Bride, he would definitely eat you, Human Skin Paper, before dying.
If he really became a Ghost Slave, then he would be a derivative creation of the Ghost Bride’s supernatural.
And if you, Human Skin Paper, think you can confront the Ghost Bride’s supernatural, then slowly give me hints like that.
Everyone dies together, no one gets off easy!
Yang Jian’s threat to the Human Skin Paper not only allowed him to quickly learn through the Human Skin Paper the method to break the current death impasse, but also to obtain some information about the Ghost Bride.
It had to be said.
In such a critical situation, Yang Jian was able to quickly and accurately find the best way to deal with everything that followed.
This decisiveness and adaptability would make him a god in the future.
Well-deserved.
Yang Jian’s words seemed to make the Human Skin Paper feel threatened, and the handwriting emerged at a maddening speed:
“My name is Yang Jian. When you see this sentence, I am already dead. After being attacked by the ghost, I used the Headless Ghost Shadow to light a red Ghost Candle. Although I regained a few seconds of action, as the red Ghost Candle went out, I lost control of my body again.”
“Three minutes and eleven seconds later, despite using every possible method, I still died at the hands of that ghost. With no way out, I had no choice but to take out that Human Skin Paper again, hoping it could tell me the answer to solving this current crisis.”
“But very disappointingly, I didn’t get what I wanted from it.”
“I will definitely die at her hands.”
Yang Jian, who finished reading all the information on the Human Skin Paper in one glance, had a sharp glint in his eyes.
“Her?”
This “her” referring to a female that appeared on the Human Skin Paper made Yang Jian keenly notice a trace of weirdness, but now was not the time to delve into it.
Yang Jian immediately said: “If I can survive, I will use another ghost to make a transaction with you.”
At this time, two blood-red large characters suddenly appeared on the Human Skin Paper:
“Two.”
“Transaction.”
As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, a never-before-felt stinging chill branded itself into his mind, as if some unknown supernatural contract had been reached in the void.
At the same time,
The previous handwriting on the Human Skin Paper disappeared, and new handwriting emerged:
“I am Yang Jian. I discovered that ghost—she seems to be dead, but also seems not dead. If a flawless groom can be found to substitute for me, although the curse remains, I at least survived.”
The handwriting on the Human Skin Paper became increasingly scribbled toward the end, as if some supernatural interference was disrupting its precognition of the future, so the last words that appeared on the Human Skin Paper were completely unrecognizable to Yang Jian.
Therefore, the information provided by the Human Skin Paper this time was not as clear as usual.
In other words, what to do about this statement and what follows would entirely depend on Yang Jian’s analysis and judgment!
Whether death or survival.
Yang Jian’s fate would come to an end in these few short minutes that could even slip away unnoticed!
“So what the Ghost Bride is looking for is a groom? It seems my guess was correct. Once I am killed, I will become this ghost’s Ghost Slave.”
“And I have already been targeted by it now, the attack process has begun, but according to the hint on the Human Skin Paper, as long as a new groom is found to replace me, the attack will stop?”
Because with the transaction already reached, although there was some loophole in the information provided by the Human Skin Paper, in intelligence concerning life and death, there would absolutely be no issues.
So Yang Jian focused entirely on the above.
Based on his distance from the Ghost Bride, there were at most two minutes left.
“The key is not only on the groom. The Human Skin Paper specifically emphasized ‘flawless,’ which might be the key to breaking the situation.”
Noticing this strange point, Yang Jian began to wildly associate:
“Why must the groom be flawless? So only a flawless man would trigger the Mummy Bride’s killing pattern? No, the definition of flawless is definitely not that simple.”
If the Ghost Bride’s killing pattern was really like that, then the one attacked shouldn’t be Yang Jian, nor Xu Feng, but the ordinary man present.
Because Ghost Wielders have ghosts in their bodies, their bodies more or less have some kind of deficiency, so they absolutely cannot satisfy the ‘flawless’ in the physical sense.
“Flawless in spirit? If that’s really the case, then my death is inevitable, and the Human Skin Paper wouldn’t provide a solution, so that’s not it either. The ghost’s attack requires a medium, so what is the medium on me?”
But with no clues to deduce, relying solely on that line on the Human Skin Paper, even if Yang Jian racked his brains, he still couldn’t figure out exactly what to do.
It seemed death was his only destination.
As the distance between them grew closer, the Headless Ghost Shadow’s pitch-black body even began to distort.
Yang Jian knew this was the phenomenon shown by the Headless Ghost Shadow being suppressed in the face of stronger supernatural. Looking at the distance of less than two meters, he still hadn’t given up.
Even if he hadn’t thought of a way to break the situation from the Human Skin Paper’s hint, he would never lose the will to survive.
At this moment,
Since the Human Skin Paper mentioned that the Ghost Candle could let him briefly regain a few seconds of action, Yang Jian planned to have the Headless Ghost Shadow light the prepared Ghost Candle the instant he reached the Mummy Bride.
At the same moment the Ghost Candle is lit,
He would also attach the Headless Ghost Shadow to his body. Yang Jian wanted to use the Headless Ghost Shadow and Ghost Candle to shield his senses as much as possible, thereby affecting the attack process.
Just as Yang Jian got closer and closer to the Ghost Bride.
A weird scene appeared.
The Mummy Bride standing behind him suddenly moved. It slowly extended its stiff and withered palm. Although the movement was small, it was still noticed by Yang Jian, who had been watching the Ghost Bride’s every move.
“Could the hand be the medium?!”
Upon seeing that shriveled, dark brown corpse-skinned withered palm, Yang Jian’s pupils suddenly contracted. Glancing at the blood-soaked wedding dress on the Ghost Bride, he thought of folk legends.
Marriage in life and death, with nothing to seal the pact;
Hand in hand together, eternal life ever after.
