Chapter 225: Detain Ghost Wood
“Not only was Guo Fan rescued by Headquarters, but the Human Head Balloon event was also solved by Yang Jian. He indeed still came to the Caesar Grand Hotel.”
At the first moment after leaving, Jiang Shan noticed that the Human Head Balloons that once filled the sky like a tide and sea had disappeared.
When he came out of the hotel, it was around ten in the morning, with a clear blue cloudless sky matching the silence of this city, as if nothing had happened here.
But who would remember.
Half a month ago, this place was a sea of human heads and a forest of dead people.
“According to Cao Yanhua’s meaning, Yang Jian suddenly appeared in ZS City six days ago. He first reported to Headquarters that he had solved the Human Head Balloon event, then entered the hotel interior and rescued Guo Fan. After doing all this, Yang Jian returned to Dachang City.”
Jiang Shan recalled everything Cao Yanhua had told him over the phone.
Because the branch had not reported Jiang Shan’s disappearance at the Caesar Grand Hotel.
Even when heavy rain continued for eighteen days and people in the branch were panicked, Cao Yanhua was still vigorously concealing Jiang Shan’s whereabouts.
As for Zhao Jianguo, who was affected by the Newspaper Ghost’s supernatural, he certainly would not inform Yang Jian to assist Jiang Shan.
This once again proved that Zhao Jianguo indeed had a big problem.
Otherwise, when Yang Jian entered the hotel interior to rescue Guo Fan, he would not have made no move at all regarding aiding Jiang Shan.
But from Cao Yanhua, Jiang Shan could judge that Yang Jian was completely unaware of all this.
“Is it fate playing tricks on people? Or is there really someone secretly arranging everything for Yang Jian to become a god.”
Thinking of how Yang Jian had succeeded in hanging himself without Ghost Rope and controlled the Dead Machine Headless Ghost Shadow back then, Jiang Shan involuntarily felt doubt in his heart.
Even with his appearance and interference, Yang Jian, lacking the necessary reason and ability, could still grow “methodically” toward the direction of “Yang Jian.”
How could Jiang Shan, who knew all kinds of conspiracy theories in the original work before crossing over, not feel suspicious?
“Forget it, whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me. First go handle the Ghost Tree Forest and remake a supernatural weapon is the top priority. There will be time to think about these issues later.”
Just as Jiang Shan was about to set off and prepare to use Ghost Domain to travel to the suburbs of Dachang City, he suddenly remembered something:
“Before going, I should still give Yang Jian a heads-up, so as not to startle this kid and cause unnecessary trouble later.”
With that thought,
Jiang Shan immediately called Yang Jian.
“Jiang Shan? Do you have something?”
As soon as the phone connected, Yang Jian’s cold voice came through.
“Do you know about the supernatural event codenamed ‘Ghost Tree Forest’ in the northern suburbs of Dachang City? There is a ghost I need there, and I will go handle this supernatural event soon.”
“I’m calling to notify you, so that when I show up uninvited later, you don’t find fault, making everyone unhappy.” Jiang Shan said flatly.
He knew very well what kind of personality Yang Jian had.
Although the two had cooperated before, their relationship was actually just above colleagues and below friends.
To avoid Yang Jian detecting his Ghost Domain in ignorance, thereby delaying his actions, Jiang Shan chose to proactively make this call.
“That’s it, I’m just notifying you. For the following actions, I don’t require you to cooperate with me in anything. Just manage your Dachang City well, that’s enough. I don’t want anyone disturbing me while I’m handling the supernatural event.”
After glancing at the blockade location of the Ghost Tree Forest shown on the map, Jiang Shan said slowly.
After about ten or more seconds, Yang Jian’s voice rang from the phone again:
“I know. Wish you success.”
“Mm.”
After notifying Yang Jian and ensuring that no one would come to disturb him during the action soon, Jiang Shan immediately hung up the phone.
The next second,
A silver light instantly streaked across the sky like the tail of a comet.
“The area affected by the Ghost Tree Forest is really not small, nearly three townships’ worth of area, and it’s still spreading toward the surroundings. What exactly do these ghosts want to do? Forget it, let me see where its source is.”
At this time,
Jiang Shan, who appeared in the sky above Chen Family Village in the suburbs of Dachang City, looked at the patches of eerie, weird dense forests below with flickering eyes.
This was the first supernatural event he encountered after coming to this world and becoming a Ghost Wielder.
The killing pattern of “must die within twelve hours after contact” still left a fresh memory for Jiang Shan. If he hadn’t temporarily devoured the Light-fearing Ghost, he would probably already be a member of the Ghost Tree Forest by now.
Moreover, at that time, the Dead Face Ghost’s third-layer Ghost Domain strength could barely invade the periphery of this ghost’s Ghost Domain. One can imagine its terror level.
Plus its characteristic of restricting ghosts, Jiang Shan had long coveted it.
With a thought from Jiang Shan.
The silver light in the sky began to pour straight down like a heavenly waterfall.
Countless eerie yet shining lights like hope “easily” illuminated every corner of the blackened, weird dense forest on the ground.
Under the Dead Face Ghost’s sixth-layer Ghost Domain, the Ghost Tree Forest’s Ghost Domain was like thin paper, being invaded without restriction.
“Seven ghosts. How exactly does the Ghost Tree Forest’s supernatural restrict these ghosts?”
Whether it was the Ghost Slaves in the Ghost Tree Forest transformed from ordinary people after being attacked.
Or the fierce ghosts restricted by the Ghost Tree Forest within the Ghost Domain.
Under the “silver light,” everything in the Ghost Tree Forest was clear to Jiang Shan.
But these ghosts posed no threat to him at all.
“Found you.”
In an area less than one kilometer near Chen Family Village, in a forest of countless humanoid-shaped birch trees.
An ordinary birch tree, the most ordinary one, was instantly covered by scarlet Ghost Characters the moment Jiang Shan paid attention to it.
And at the same time,
The originally dazzling silver light seemed to converge, making that birch tree extremely dazzling, as if its entire body was a mirror.
“Mirror? Ghost Domain becomes mirror?”
Suddenly thinking of something, Jiang Shan’s eyes lit up. At this moment, the Ghost Characters and the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain were engaging in a terrifying supernatural confrontation against the supernatural at the source of the Ghost Tree Forest.
Ghost Characters suppression;
Ghost Domain marking, devouring supernatural.
The method he had once demonstrated in the meeting room in front of everyone on “how to suppress a fierce ghost to dead machine” was now used by Jiang Shan on the “Ghost Wood” once again.
This time, he even used the Blood Ghost’s supernatural power.
Time passed minute by minute.
The fierce ghost in Jiang Shangbai’s body that had third-layer Ghost Domain strength back then, Jiang Shan had only used Ghost Characters to suppress it for one hour to bring it to dead machine state.
But this ghost, even with him using almost all the fierce ghosts’ supernatural in his body, had also been suppressed for nearly an hour.
When all the fierce ghosts in the Ghost Tree Forest began wandering toward the boundaries outside the forest, Jiang Shan knew that the Ghost Wood had truly fallen into dead machine at this point.
“It shrank?”
