Chapter 235: Heading To Dajing City
On the morning when he was preparing to take an airplane to Dajing City, in a certain hospital in Dachun City, an authority expert examined Jiang Shan’s body.
“Your body condition is very special. All bodily functions are unprecedentedly normal, and certain body areas even show symptoms of excessive excitement, that is, ‘vegetative nervous system dysfunction.’ If it were an ordinary person experiencing this for no reason, they should already consider the possibility of partial lesions.”
“But based on all the data indicators from the full-body checkup, your body is healthier than healthy, with not even any latent conditions existing. It’s truly unbelievable. I’ve examined the bodies of many Ghost Wielders, but this is the first time I’ve seen one whose body is better than an ordinary person’s.”
The doctor browsing Jiang Shan’s body data indicators let out sounds of amazement.
With over sixty years of experience in medicine and his reputation for it, he had examined many Ghost Wielders.
Whether it was Ghost Wielders whose bodies had rotted away halfway or whose body fat had all been “eaten” away by ghosts, those who lived long or short, he had seen many, many of them.
But no matter how many, without exception, every one of these Ghost Wielders’ bodies had all sorts of problems.
But a body like Jiang Shan’s, almost no different from a normal person’s, even with bodily functions and health level far surpassing a normal person—he had never seen one.
Compared to other Ghost Wielders,
Jiang Shan was simply a freak!
Hearing this diagnosis, Jiang Shan didn’t find it surprising, but said very calmly:
“I understand. Thank you for your hard work.”
“But there’s one point you need to note: although all your body indicators are fine, I found that your bone age doesn’t seem to match the age you reported.”
Suddenly,
The authority expert’s words made Jiang Shan, who was about to leave, pause involuntarily. Before he could ask, the doctor continued:
“An ordinary doctor might not notice, but I’ve dealt with these hospital instruments for sixty years. Your bone age is older than your actual age—I estimate it’s about two years older.”
“Actually, normal people’s bone age often doesn’t match their actual age because living habits and work differ, causing varying degrees of difference in different bones, which is normal. But this phenomenon appearing in your body is very strange, because your bone age is almost identical throughout your body.”
“Two years?”
Hearing this, Jiang Shan frowned. He knew some medical knowledge, so the authority expert’s words made him fall into contemplation:
“My body is a Supernatural Creation, so problems with the body represent an Unexpected Change in the Supernatural I control. So I just need to recall what abnormalities occurred in me after controlling the Newspaper Ghost to find the source of the problem.”
“Is it the day when the Fierce Ghost Restarted and thus that past day disappeared? If that’s the case, then the disappeared past day made my body age two years. Although I don’t know if this body will continue to age, after this body grows old and dies, perhaps an unpredictable Unexpected Change will occur.”
Because Jiang Shan wasn’t too clear on his own situation, he could only make bold guesses.
If his body wouldn’t age over time like a normal person’s, then with indestructible consciousness and immortal body, he would achieve eternal life in the physical sense.
But if the body would age, then it meant his life was finite.
“That’s fine too. If I can’t become a god and gain the ability to transcend time and space, then living on cowardly is no better than dying. Living in this world like a dead person is a kind of torment.”
After bidding farewell to the doctor, Jiang Shan, driving on the road to Dachun City Airport, said mockingly to himself.
He remembered Shakespeare had written: “One who lives alone is either a god or a beast.”
Everyone wants to obtain eternal life.
But thousands of years of solitude would only turn a person into a beast or a “ghost” over the long years.
After Yang Jian became a god, he might still have some responsibility toward this world, but for Jiang Shan, an Outsider with no sense of belonging to this world.
He couldn’t find an obsession to live on eternally.
Due to the influence of Ghost Rain, all airports in Dachun City had fallen into paralysis and had not yet recovered. Plus, the destination this time was Dajing City, where countless high-level leaders resided, so military airplanes couldn’t take off.
Moreover, to avoid arousing suspicion from certain people at Headquarters, Jiang Shan chose to go to the nearest city’s airport nearby and take a normal airplane to Dajing City.
Although he could completely arrange a special plane, there was no need.
It was true that he was a branch Minister, and true that he had the strength to easily destroy and massacre a city, but Jiang Shan didn’t want to use this identity to demand any privileges.
Whether taking a special plane or a normal passenger plane, their efficiency made no difference to Jiang Shan, so there was no need for him to affect the lives of the public for his own comfort.
Set rules,
Establish regulations.
Rules need to be established. Now Jiang Shan already had the qualification to set rules, so he hoped even more to lead by example in abiding by the rules.
Refusing any send-offs or welcomes, Jiang Shan took a special car and arrived at Dashen City Airport around four in the afternoon that day.
“I’m Jiang Shan, now preparing to board the plane to Dajing City.” Jiang Shan sat in the rest area, contacting his exclusive operator via satellite positioning mobile phone.
“Understood, Minister Jiang. I’ve checked your boarding information. I’ll immediately arrange personnel to receive you.”
Because of Jiang Shan’s requirement not to interfere with the airport’s normal operations, Jiang Qingwu didn’t dare to arbitrarily cancel many procedures.
After repeated deliberation, she chose to inform the airport staff of Jiang Shan’s special nature.
With Jiang Qingwu’s arrangements, Jiang Shan’s subsequent itinerary went exceptionally smoothly.
Actually, there was no need for her to say it; the airport’s leader had already made preparations after reminders from relatives in the branch’s high-level officials.
Before Jiang Shan even went through security check to board, staff with blue badges had already handled all his boarding matters.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
No boss carrying a porcelain bottle,
No Ghost Hand killing people in the cabin.
After all, even though the trend of Supernatural Revival was becoming more out of control now, the probability of ordinary people encountering Supernatural Events wasn’t that high yet.
So Jiang Shan’s flight had no Weirdness Events occur.
This also allowed him to enjoy a rare few hours of leisure time.
“The legendary Ghost Face Jiang Shan is coming!”
Near the airport, many special personnel looked at the long-awaited airplane with somewhat odd gazes. They had received notifications early and made reception preparations, so they knew some insider information.
“This Jiang Shan’s entourage is really something. When did Ghost Wielders need Headquarters to send so many people to receive them? A little punk who hasn’t even graduated high school yet—is he worth us several coming to pick him up?”
A Ghost Wielder who had received Headquarters instructions and come specifically to receive Jiang Shan looked at the landing airplane and said disdainfully.
“Li Shang, if you want to die, just say it straight. Don’t drag old me down.” Someone nearby stared at him deadly, saying in an icy tone:
“This is my last warning to you. You just joined Headquarters, better watch your mouth. Old me doesn’t want to get implicated by your words. If you want to die, I can fulfill you right now.”
Time to enter the Dajing City plot, exciting!
