Chapter 217: Devour Ghost
“Ghosts must follow certain patterns, and Ghost Characters are like Human Skin Paper. The content it foresees and writes may contain certain fatal traps, but most of the content is certainly accurate.”
“This means that the Ghost Characters deliberately emphasized the two words ‘Substitute’ to make me feel dread, thereby not daring to control the Newspaper Ghost?
At this moment, Jiang Shan’s heart was somewhat surprised. He didn’t understand:
“Why did the Ghost Characters use the two words ‘Substitute’ to emphasize the Newspaper Ghost’s Attack method? Could it be that I’m overthinking it?”
If it weren’t for the Ghost Characters, Jiang Shan would have already entered the Room by now, and might even have started trying to control the Newspaper Ghost.
“Now that the Newspaper Ghost has collected them, all the Human Faces that could enhance the terror level of attacks have disappeared. Relying solely on the Newspaper Ghost’s Terror Level absolutely won’t pose a threat to me.”
“So what exactly is the trap that the Ghost Characters want to set for me?”
Looking at Feng Quan who was already standing dumbfounded in place in the Room, Jiang Shan’s eyes flickered.
Although the misunderstanding caused by the Ghost Characters had already delayed a good amount of time, he still silently remembered the two words “Substitute” in his heart.
Substitute,
Li Dai Tao Jiang.
Jiang Shan believed that the Ghost Characters would not mention this term without reason.
Either the Newspaper Ghost’s Supernatural really could achieve such an effect.
Or the Ghost Characters had set a trap for him in some process of controlling the Newspaper Ghost.
However, meet soldiers with generals, meet water with earth.
In any case, Jiang Shan would definitely try this Newspaper Ghost today, which had passed the joint “authentication” of Human Skin Paper, Ghost Cabinet, and Ghost Characters.
Moreover, during the time he activated the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain, he had always felt that the state of the Ghost Domain was very Strange.
The “Silver Light” controlled by him outside the door always involuntarily spread toward the blood-red interior. During the time he was pondering the Ghost Character’s Foresight, the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain had even enveloped Feng Quan’s entire body.
This feeling was just like the greed originating from Instinct within a Creature’s body.
But Jiang Shan knew,
This was the Dead Face Ghost craving.
“The matter of the Ghost Characters comes to an end for now. In the future, unless encountering Supernatural that can kill me, the Ghost Character’s Foresight cannot be used. It is even Weirder than Human Skin Paper. Once I take the wrong path, I will absolutely be doomed eternally.” Jiang Shan thought to himself darkly as he prepared to enter the Room.
Just because of two words in the Ghost Character’s Foresight, it made him feel dread about controlling the Newspaper Ghost.
The more he came into contact with the Supernatural, the more Jiang Shan could feel the terror within it.
Unknowingly, he also began to become increasingly cautious.
It is undeniable that being cautious is indeed a good habit when facing general Supernatural Events.
But only Jiang Shan, who knew the terror of This World, knew,
That caution could not let him Survive every encounter with a Fierce Ghost.
Timely decisiveness, and an almost Madness all-out gamble, were what allowed him to escape death, and master stronger Supernatural Power.
“Pata~!”
The moment Jiang Shan stepped into the Room and just pushed the door shut, a chill eerily appeared in his mind like a ghostly spring.
“Even when suppressed, it can still launch an Attack?”
Upon feeling that chill, Jiang Shan knew this was the Newspaper Ghost’s Supernatural beginning to erode his brain. Although this Supernatural was very weak, and for him, it didn’t even qualify as an Attack.
But Jiang Shan still wanted to know.
This Newspaper Ghost, which he had once controlled, which could modify the Ghost Characters’ Killing Pattern, making the Dead Face Ghost crave it immensely—after being controlled by him again, could it truly achieve the initial three-ghost Balance within his body?
Back then, when he first controlled the Dead Face Ghost, Newspaper Ghost, and Ghost Characters at the School, the perfect Balance feeling in his body was something Jiang Shan still couldn’t forget.
Even though he had become an Anomaly who could use Supernatural Power without cost, that path of ultimate Balance could certainly become another path to Becoming a God.
Just as that chill began to spread in his mind.
Jiang Shan’s originally pale complexion became even more terrifying. Although his appearance hadn’t changed much, that Dead Face Ghost-like face made him look even more like a Fierce Ghost.
Noticing his own changes, Jiang Shan’s expression moved slightly.
When he prepared to continue walking toward Feng Quan, he saw Feng Quan, who was originally standing in the center of the Room with a Strange expression and a smile on his face—his face suddenly fell off.
Just like the Human Faces that fell off the Wall.
The moment Feng Quan’s Human Face touched the Ghost Characters, it began to rot crazily at a visible speed, turning into a puddle of Pus on the ground within a breath.
“Hm?”
The moment Feng Quan’s face skin turned into Pus, Jiang Shan suddenly felt the chill in his mind become Chilling, the icy coldness seeming to freeze his skull.
Undoubtedly,
The Newspaper Ghost launched an Attack on Jiang Shan, and it seemed Feng Quan’s Human Face added a bit of terror to this Attack.
However, this Pain from the body only made Jiang Shan furrow his brows slightly.
As for that Attack, it didn’t make him feel any Threat at all. Even the moment the Newspaper Ghost’s Supernatural appeared in his mind, it was Annihilated by the Blood Ghost.
Now Jiang Shan’s Body had perfectly fused with the Blood Ghost, just like Yang Jian’s Consciousness returning to the Ghost Shadow.
Whether it was a Ghost Attack or a Supernatural Weapon’s strike,
They not only felt no Pain, but also wouldn’t die as easily as ordinary people because of it.
Because they were Ghosts,
And Ghosts cannot be killed.
If judged solely by the Newspaper Ghost’s Terror Level, the Attack it caused was of no consequence to Jiang Shan, but Jiang Shan knew that this Chilling in his mind was absolutely not as simple as freezing him to death.
“Bang~!”
While Jiang Shan was quietly waiting for the Unexpected Change to occur, Feng Quan’s Corpse suddenly fell down and lay on the floor.
“It’s coming.”
Looking at the faceless Feng Quan like a Dead Corpse on the ground, Jiang Shan’s eyes narrowed.
In the Original Work, Yang Jian had speculated that the Newspaper Ghost had no entity, it was just an invisible Supernatural—whoever inherited this Supernatural became the Ghost.
At that time, after Yang Jian took the Ghost Face, the Newspaper Ghost could still possess Tong Qian’s identity, which explained many issues.
Although there was no follow-up about the Newspaper Ghost in the Original Work.
But Jiang Shan knew that the Newspaper Ghost, now without a single face, would definitely fall into Madness for some face.
And it was at this moment that the source Newspaper Ghost was in Feng Quan’s Corpse!
Almost at the same time,
The blood-red Ghost Characters throughout the Room instantly submerged Feng Quan like a blood wave, and flickering Silver Light frantically Devoured the Supernatural emanating from Feng Quan’s body through the gaps in the blood sea.
The ultimate Suppression and endless Devour lasted an unknown amount of time.
At a certain moment, Jiang Shan suddenly felt like something extra appeared in his mouth—no taste, no Feeling, just like holding a shaped but non-existent piece of air in his mouth.
“Chew chew.”
