Chapter 257: The Departing Ghost Messenger
The sudden attack at the Training Base instantly put Yang Jian in a desperate situation of nine deaths and one life. He didn’t want the Human Skin Paper to be taken by the ghost, but now he had very few ways to respond.
At this moment,
The Ghost Bride beside Yang Jian became increasingly bright red, as if she would make eye contact with him in the next second.
And those hands in the Darkness gripped the Human Skin Paper tightly like crab claws, with no reduction in strength from beginning to end.
Feeling his Life rapidly draining away with the Ghost Shadow’s withdrawal, Yang Jian, in the next second as he prepared to light the Ghost Candle for a few seconds of opportunity.
Suddenly, the Ghost Bride in her bright red Wedding Dress moved. She slowly turned her head to look at Yang Jian.
“?!”
Seeing this, Yang Jian’s hair stood on end instantly, but he didn’t hesitate at all and lit the Ghost Candle with his palm full of cold sweat.
The main ability of the Red Ghost Candle is to shield the Fierce Ghost’s perception within the range of the Candlelight, which is equivalent to cutting off the Medium, and this is its most practical ability.
“It worked.”
The relieved Yang Jian stared intently at those stiff palms. The palms showed a slight loosening, and the pressure he felt had obviously decreased a lot.
It seemed that Yang Jian and the Human Skin Paper within the Candlelight had become invisible in the eyes of the Fierce Ghost. The Fierce Ghost in the Darkness could no longer sense their Existence, so naturally it had no target for attack and returned to a wandering state.
But before Yang Jian could take out the hands of the Death Row Inmate to replace his own hands.
The Candle Flame went out!
The Ghost Candle burned at a speed visible to the naked eye. Yang Jian had originally estimated it could last at least five or six seconds.
But in fact,
From lighting the Ghost Candle to it extinguishing, the entire process lasted only two seconds.
What could two seconds accomplish?
Catch a breath?
Or, knowing his own impending Death, use it to pursue that last shred of hope?
“What a joke?!”
Before Yang Jian could react with the next step, in his peripheral vision, he saw the Ghost Bride with the red veil, her bright red as blood, seemingly smiling at him.
Even though the Ghost Bride’s face was completely covered by the veil, that smile seemed to have always existed in his mind.
Suddenly,
Yang Jian’s whole body involuntarily leaned backward. He managed to maintain Balance and didn’t fall, only then discovering that the stiff hands that had been gripping the Human Skin Paper had disappeared.
Leaving only ten clear Finger prints on the Human Skin Paper, proving how Dangerous the previous Supernatural contact had been.
“It’s leaving?”
Yang Jian saw the surrounding Darkness rapidly receding, and his Ghost Domain gradually returned to normal, covering one meter, three meters, ten meters around.
Soon, the Darkness in the shooting range dissipated, and the nearby searchlights immediately restored their brightness.
The Weirdness brought by that ghost was leaving the area where he was.
“What happened? That ghost absolutely wouldn’t leave without reason. The Ghost Candle didn’t work, so the only possibility is.”
Seeing the Darkness recede, Yang Jian felt no joy of surviving the disaster. Instead, his face turned extremely ugly as he looked at the red-clad bride beside him.
That ghost left inexplicably.
It wasn’t because it got something, nor because of the lack of a Medium, but because a more terrifying Fierce Ghost had launched an Attack on it.
In the Supernatural Confrontation, it lost.
So it left.
Although that ghost gave up the struggle for the Human Skin Paper, Yang Jian knew that what he had to face next was an even more terrifying, more unsolvable Fierce Ghost.
“Switch hands! Without a Medium, I can’t trigger the Ghost Bride’s Killing Pattern!”
And almost at the same moment the Ghost Messenger left, Yang Jian didn’t hesitate at all and immediately drove the Ghost Shadow to remove his hands, which were now no different from those of the Mummy Bride.
The moment those hands were removed, Yang Jian found that the eerie smile in his mind had disappeared, indicating that he could still continue using this method.
Forcibly avoiding the Ghost Bride’s Curse.
Previously, it was inconvenient to act without hands, but at this moment, Yang Jian didn’t care about that. As long as he could avoid the Ghost Bride’s Curse, even if he was Dismembered into a human pig right now, he would be willing.
As long as he had the Ghost Shadow,
He would never lack a Body.
“Originally, my hands could last at least one more day, but the appearance of that ghost in the Darkness seemed to cause some unknown change with the Ghost Bride’s Curse, actually accelerating the drying process.”
Looking at the increasingly dim bright red beside him, Yang Jian’s suspended heart finally settled.
Sitting on the ground panting heavily, he completely failed to notice his hands. As the Ghost Bride’s eerie bright red faded, they were slowly “growing back” bit by bit.
“These Two Ghosts didn’t have an obvious confrontation because of me, but the two seconds when the Ghost Candle was lit, it was clearly the Ghost Bride attacking that ghost, so that ghost chose to leave.”
“No matter what, I Survived.”
“Help~! Ah~!”
However, before he could continue thinking about the origin of the ghost in the Darkness, a desperate and fearful scream came from a patch of Darkness nearby.
“Someone else is being attacked by a ghost?”
Yang Jian looked toward the direction from which the sound came.
That area was also swallowed by Darkness, but judging by the position, it should be the Dormitory Building of the Training Base, where this group of over a dozen Ghost Wielders rested.
“Damn it, how could Headquarters let a ghost escape, and such a terrifying Fierce Ghost at that.”
Just as Yang Jian was about to get up and Escape from here, the Satellite Positioning Mobile Phone in his luggage bag rang.
“Yang Jian, when you hear this message, the Training Base you’re at is already extremely Dangerous. Leave there immediately, ensure your own Life safety. A ghost is heading to the Training Base, and it may have already invaded there now.”
Before he could answer, Liu Xiaoyu’s anxious and panicked voice came from the Satellite Positioning Mobile Phone.
“Repeating: Ensure your safety, leave immediately, don’t die no matter what.”
“Forcibly opening communication for a call means the crisis has reached an extreme point.” Yang Jian’s expression changed slightly.
Just as he subconsciously took out the Satellite Phone from his Pocket, his face suddenly changed drastically.
“My hands?… How could I possibly have hands?!”
Seeing his own pair of slender, fair-as-jade hands, Yang Jian was first stunned, then reacted with great horror in his heart.
A glance with his peripheral vision.
From the original position of the Ghost Bride, Yang Jian could vaguely still see the outline of a graceful woman, though it had almost faded to the point of invisibility.
That Chilling aura had never dissipated.
“How did these hands of mine appear? Damn it, what should I do now… Hmm?!”
Just as Yang Jian was looking at his hands and pondering how to Handle it next, he suddenly found he had lost Control of his Body and involuntarily turned toward a certain direction.
Not only that,
One of Yang Jian’s hands was slowly opening, just like countless lovers interlocking their Fingers.
But what was holding his hand wasn’t a person,
But a Fierce Ghost wearing a Wedding Dress that was already invisible.
