Chapter 241: Secret Passage Left For The Ghost
The abrupt sound did not frighten the people present, but the grave expressions on their faces were mostly due to the content contained in that sentence, which inevitably aroused strong doubt and unease in their hearts.
“Who is speaking? Don’t play tricks here and sow discord. If you have the guts, come out and speak!”
Among the Ghost Wielders gathered together, someone looked around at the crowd unconsciously distancing themselves from him with a face full of astonishment and unease, then he said coldly to the air above his head.
Although no one was certain about the truth of the words, for safety’s sake, they still distanced themselves from each other, maintaining a certain safe distance.
After all, the amount of information contained in that sentence was truly too terrifying.
Leaving aside Lin Shan’s reaction for the moment, just talking about the Ghost Wielders.
If a Ghost Wielder had no ghost in his body, but he could still act no different from a normal Ghost Wielder.
Then what exactly was he?
Ghost Slave,
or some weird thing born from supernatural derivation?
Yang Jian and Shen Liang, who had heard Jiang Shan’s voice, naturally knew at this moment who the person who said that sentence was.
But precisely because of this, the two of them had extremely grave expressions, their gazes fixed on that group of Ghost Wielders, as if trying to spot some clue among them.
While everyone was waiting, a silver light flashed by.
Suddenly, among the dozens of Ghost Wielders, three people instantly fell to the ground, their faces full of pain and fear, still shouting nonstop from their mouths:
“Is there a mistake?! It’s not me! The ghost in my body is still there, look quickly, I can still use supernatural power, how could it possibly be me?!”
“It can’t be me, let me go quickly! I came to Dajing City because I felt the ghost in my body was about to resurrect, how can you still suspect me, let me go quickly!”
The three people suppressed motionless on the ground by the supernatural suppression of Ghost Domain and Ghost Characters began to explain frantically after sensing everyone’s gazes.
Seeing this scene, Shen Liang frowned tightly; he was certain that these three people on the ground should not have this problem.
After all, many of the Ghost Wielders standing here now were ones he had specifically investigated and understood.
But now Jiang Shan actually said these people were not Ghost Wielders or even people; how could this not make him feel doubt.
At some point, a slender man’s figure gradually emerged from the silver light.
“Bang~!”
With a muffled loud bang, under everyone’s gazes, Jiang Shan smoked, held the black long whip, and calmly knocked the head of someone lying on the ground flying.
“Bang~! Bang~!”
With almost no hesitation, as the heads of the other two flew up, in just a few short seconds, only three headless corpses remained on the ground.
“？!”
Looking at the three corpses lying in a pool of blood, everyone present was horrified, and Shen Liang’s eyelids twitched nonstop.
“Too reckless.” His gaze fixed dead on Jiang Shan, momentarily unsure of what to say.
Because without any explanation or evidence, Jiang Shan had so casually killed three Persons in Charge from Headquarters; if these three really had a problem, it would be fine, but if it was a wrongful killing, he couldn’t bear that responsibility.
“You don’t need to look at me with those eyes. If it weren’t for today’s incident catching my attention, perhaps tonight or tomorrow, the ones to die would be you.”
Glancing at everyone’s expressions, Jiang Shan’s gaze swept toward every person’s eyes, then he said coldly.
And right as his words fell,
The three corpses on the ground suddenly burst open without any warning.
Flesh and blood rained down like rainwater on everyone’s bodies, but no one was dissatisfied with this, because they all simultaneously noticed.
In these three burst-open corpses,
There was no ghost at all!
“How is this possible?! Their bodies really had no ghost? Then what exactly are they?”
“What a joke, I was just chatting with Liu Qing a moment ago, and it turns out he wasn’t even human?”
After Jiang Shan used “facts” to prove his actions.
Fear, incredulity, worry—various different emotions appeared on everyone’s faces and in their words.
Because a Ghost Wielder’s life entirely depends on the fierce ghost in their body sustaining it, so having no ghost in the body means the Ghost Wielder has most likely already died—this has long been the consensus in the Supernatural Circle.
And now,
There were fully four people who had no ghost in their bodies yet possessed supernatural power!
This meant that what happened was absolutely not a coincidence, but that they had all encountered the same thing.
This matter might be a ghost attack or something else, but for everyone present, such a situation was already enough to make them feel fear.
One must know,
This was Dajing City, and the place they were staying was Ping An Hotel, home to dozens of Ghost Wielders!
If it was a ghost,
Then what kind of ghost could silently kill their own colleagues and make them live again in this world in the form of normal Ghost Wielders.
In an instant,
Everyone fell deathly silent, and the atmosphere at the scene sank into a weird deathly stillness.
“These people’s condition is very weird; they have normal human consciousness, just like living people, which means they are not Ghost Slaves.”
“Not only that, they not only couldn’t sense the fierce ghost in their bodies, but could also use supernatural power, as if they were ordinary people tainted by supernatural?” Detecting the weirdness, Jiang Shan suddenly thought of a ghost.
A ghost that could resurrect the dead.
Wishing Ghost!
Ever since failing to detain it in Dachang City, the Wishing Ghost’s whereabouts had been unknown. Even though Jiang Shan had people keep an eye on supernatural events across the domestic areas, its trail had never been found.
But the weird scene happening now suddenly made him think of it.
It seemed entirely unrelated at first glance, but looking past the phenomena to the essence.
These Ghost Wielders who should have died but were living in the world as if nothing had happened were no different from those resurrected from death; the only difference was that they were tainted by supernatural.
Or rather,
Because of long-term erosion by fierce ghosts, even after resurrection, they were special existences.
With that thought,
Jiang Shan, who already harbored suspicions, ignored everyone present and without hesitation activated Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain.
As the silver light covered the entire Ping An Hotel building, the originally golden and resplendent hotel under the dazzling glow seemed like a holy edifice, momentarily leaving even Yang Jian somewhat dazed.
But dazed or not,
Yang Jian could clearly sense the enormous terror contained within that pure white silver light.
“Shen Liang, can you tell me who exactly is in charge of this hotel? Who is managing it? Why is there a secret passage in the hotel so small that even a bug couldn’t squeeze through?”
“And why do the wall interlayer of the rooms connected to this secret passage all contain gold? Is this path left for people, or for ghosts?”
