Chapter 22: The Ghost Bus That Crashes Through The Letter Paper
The paper that had just been stuffed into the cabinet door seemed to be grabbed by something at one end, and in an instant, it sank into the cabinet door and disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Shan silently counted ten seconds in his mind. When he finished counting, what came out from the cabinet door was not the original paper, but a sheet of red letter paper.
“?!”
“Ghost Post Office’s red letter paper?”
Jiang Shan was startled in his heart. He remembered that when Yang Jian first stuffed the paper into the cabinet, what came out was still the original paper.
Why, when it was his turn, did the original paper turn into the Ghost Post Office’s letter paper, and it was red?
“Ghost Post Office fifth floor’s letter?”
Jiang Shan’s heart tightened. He didn’t reach out to take that letter paper; he didn’t want to enter the Ghost Post Office now to deliver a letter to Zhang Dong.
With his current strength, going there would be purely sending a head to “Emperor Zhang Dong.”
To be safe, Jiang Shan activated his ghost domain ability to flip over the red letter paper, because when the red letter paper fell, he saw something written on the back of the letter paper.
“Ghost”
When Jiang Shan saw the first character, suddenly everything around him disappeared, and darkness from all directions enveloped him.
At this moment, he seemed to have arrived in a supernatural space.
“!”
Jiang Shan secretly thought it was bad in his heart. At this moment, he should have arrived on the road to entering the Ghost Post Office.
Just as he frantically activated his ghost domain, a path appeared out of thin air in the darkness. At the end of the path, a Republican Era post office could vaguely be seen.
“Buddy, I didn’t even touch it, how did I end up here?”
After discovering that he couldn’t use his ghost domain at all, Jiang Shan was already prepared to accept his fate.
But a touch of red on the path caught his attention.
The red letter didn’t disappear; instead, it appeared on the path leading to the Ghost Post Office.
Jiang Shan was just about to move to pick it up, but he froze, because he discovered that at the end of the path, from the Ghost Post Office side, a bus was speeding toward him at a terrifying speed.
“Why is the Ghost Bus appearing here?” Jiang Shan wondered in his heart. At this moment, he looked nervously at the Ghost Bus speeding toward him.
Although Jiang Shan didn’t know the Ghost Bus’s intention, he was clear about the terror of the Ghost Bus.
If the Ghost Bus was coming to crash into him, even knowing he couldn’t fight it, Jiang Shan was prepared for a desperate struggle.
He was unwilling to die so frivolously.
In the darkness, bursts of chilling gale winds arose, and the yin wind blew up the red letter on the path.
“3. 2. 1, here it comes!”
Jiang Shan’s expression was tense. He was already prepared at any moment to let the Dead Face Ghost devour the ghost character, to see if he could rely on the ghost face to trigger a restart and dodge this collision.
But he discovered that the Ghost Bus’s target was not himself, but that letter with the Ghost Cabinet’s request!
The Ghost Bus sped by, instantly smashing the envelope in the air into fragments, and then those fragments disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Shan narrowed his eyes watching that driverless Ghost Bus, and thinking of Yang Jian’s growth trajectory, he couldn’t help but think:
“It seems Caesar Grand Hotel is a must-visit for Yang Jian.”
In the original work, after Yang Jian handled the Starving Ghost Incident, he encountered Zhao Lei controlled by the Newspaper Ghost, and due to Headquarters’ request, he accidentally entered the Caesar Grand Hotel.
It had to be said,
that place played a pivotal role in Yang Jian’s subsequent growth,
from the cleaver to the music box, they could be said to be important supernatural items for Yang Jian in fighting fierce ghosts and surviving near death.
“Forget it, after the Starving Ghost Incident, I’ll go to the Caesar Grand Hotel to find the Newspaper Ghost.” Jiang Shan said helplessly.
Anyway, the Newspaper Ghost probably wouldn’t run off somewhere else. After he controlled the ghost blood and then detained it, his chances of success might be greater.
Then his gaze turned to the distant Ghost Post Office, and his head began to ache,
“What has to come still needs to be faced.”
Jiang Shan took a deep breath and then started walking toward the Ghost Post Office, but before he could take two steps, the surrounding darkness suddenly disappeared.
In front of him was that old Ghost Cabinet.
“Back?”
Jiang Shan activated his ghost domain and found that he had indeed returned to Dachang City. He couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Why the Ghost Bus smashed the envelope that the Ghost Cabinet gave him, Jiang Shan didn’t know, but he knew:
“That red envelope had the Ghost Cabinet’s request written on it, but unfortunately he couldn’t see it. It seems that before he grew stronger, he couldn’t interfere too much with the important supernatural items in Yang Jian’s growth.”
Regarding the earlier situation, Jiang Shan quickly summed it up.
“Sigh, boring. Let’s go, I’m going to find Wang Xiaoqiang to exchange the money for gold.” Jiang Shan sighed helplessly.
“Now destination, Little Qiang Club, going to hang out with my Qiang boss!”
His purpose was interfered with by the future Old Qin, and Jiang Shan’s mood was very depressed now. He activated his ghost domain and disappeared from this Republican Era tile-roofed house.
Upon just arriving at the Little Qiang Club, Jiang Shan discovered that Wang Xiaoqiang wasn’t there?
He scanned the ghost wielders in the club, ignoring those unkind gazes, and locked onto Ye Jun who was sitting on the sofa drinking.
“This buddy really loves to drink. If he had drunk even a little less that day and not raced, I wouldn’t have had to smash his head open.” Jiang Shan thought to himself.
Then he calmly walked up to Ye Jun and said:
“Ye Jun, where did Manager Wang go?”
Hearing Jiang Shan’s voice, Ye Jun, who had been looking relaxed, suddenly darkened his face. He reluctantly said:
“I heard that the boss of Shang Tong Technology Co., Ltd., which has a cooperation with the club, and his little lover were killed by a ghost wielder. Manager Wang went to investigate.”
Hearing Ye Jun’s words, Jiang Shan was silent for a moment. He was just about to speak when he heard Wang Xiaoqiang’s voice from the doorway:
“Jiang Shan, go wait for me in my office.”
“Manager Wang, I’m not into that.”
Wang Xiaoqiang:
After waiting in the office for about ten minutes, Wang Xiaoqiang finally returned. The first thing he said upon seeing Jiang Shan was:
“Did you kill Paul and his lover Mary?”
“Hey, Manager Wang, don’t talk nonsense without evidence. I never kill people. My rule has always been that once the money is in place, your life is spared.” Jiang Shan said.
“So the life-buying money they gave you wasn’t enough?” Wang Xiaoqiang’s tone became somewhat cold, then he continued:
“The thick fog at Shang Tong Building last night was your ghost domain, right? The three ghosts in Paul’s secret room—are they in your hands? If they are, I advise you to return them tonight.”
Wang Xiaoqiang’s words piqued Jiang Shan’s interest. He felt that although Wang Xiaoqiang was very ambitious, he wouldn’t go so far as to protect the interests of this group of foreign ghost hunters, so there must be something going on.
“You can’t just say it’s my ghost domain because of the thick fog. I’m not taking that blame. And their company actually has three ghosts? What happens if I don’t return them?” Jiang Shan said.
Wang Xiaoqiang’s gaze toward Jiang Shan was somewhat cold. If it weren’t because Jiang Shan was a club member and didn’t have too many entanglements with him,
perhaps he would have already found a way to get someone to kill Jiang Shan.
As for Paul at Shang Tong Building, dead was dead—there were plenty more people, right?
But those three ghosts in the building were very important to Paul’s foreign organization. He didn’t want to bring trouble to his club because of Jiang Shan.
Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang’s hesitant expression, Jiang Shan guessed something:
Wang Xiaoqiang was just afraid that the Missionary would come to cause trouble for the club, right?
Although Jiang Shan didn’t know exactly how strong the Missionary was now, when Yang Jian had only controlled two ghosts, the Missionary’s weirdness had hardly posed any threat to Yang Jian.
If he really came, it was still uncertain who would win between him and the Missionary.
And Jiang Shan was certain that the Missionary didn’t have the guts to cross the ocean to come here.
Leaving aside the collapse of combat power during national wars, in Jiang Shan’s heart, he never believed that a ghost wielder from a tiny speck of land could have strength surpassing the Captain.
Just looking at the battle record, the Manor Lord’s strength was even greater than some lower-ranked Captains.
Was he not good enough, or were they too strong?
Dachang City wasn’t the kings’ manor, nor their castle.
If he came, not to mention Headquarters, Jiang Shan would teach the Missionary what great nation etiquette is with actual actions.
