Chapter 258: Holding Hands With The Ghost Bride
Yang Jian, who believed he had already escaped the danger, never imagined that his hands had silently grown back.
Even more unexpectedly, the Ghost Bride, clearly not in the Present World, could invade right beside him solely through a Curse, and this time it did not disappear with the absence of the Medium.
“No one can help me. This ghost’s Terror Level is absolutely not something that Ghost Eye or Ghost Shadow can contend with. Now I must make the Medium on my body disappear; that’s the only chance to survive.”
Looking at his hands slowly rising, Yang Jian’s mind was in chaos. Even though he had experienced many Supernatural Events, this was the first time he faced such a Dangerous situation.
“First, try using Headless Ghost Shadow to remove my current hands. If it fails, there’s still Human Skin Paper!”
The familiar scene appeared once again.
Yang Jian knew that this time he absolutely could not escape as luckily as last time. If he could not quickly find a way to Solve it, his death would be inevitable.
Yang Jian, who quickly made a decision, immediately began to implement it without hesitation.
Headless Ghost Shadow extended its black Arm at this moment. One hand firmly grabbed the Human Skin Paper, while the other gripped Yang Jian’s slowly rising Arm.
“Crack!”
With a slight sound, Yang Jian’s Arm was easily detached like a Doll’s, with no Fresh Blood flowing from the break, only scarlet Flesh and Blood.
“It works!”
But Yang Jian’s joy did not last even a second. He horror-struck discovered that the Arm grabbed by Headless Ghost Shadow was still moving through the air toward the Ghost Bride’s location.
At this moment,
The main body was no longer Headless Ghost Shadow, but Yang Jian’s Arm in its hand.
“Hah, even Headless Ghost Shadow is affected. What exactly is this ghost’s Ghost’s Killing Pattern and Supernatural Power?!”
Yang Jian, discovering that half of Ghost Shadow’s body was out of control, was already somewhat panicked.
In his Cognition,
Ghosts were Terrifying, but all their Actions or Attacks followed some Pattern.
But for Fierce Ghosts like the Ghost Bride, which had almost no Pattern, Yang Jian felt long-forgotten Fear surging in his heart.
He knew he was now at the end of his rope; all his measures were useless. The only thing he could rely on now was Human Skin Paper.
When his gaze swept toward Human Skin Paper.
It seemed to know Yang Jian’s current situation. The nonsense on it had all disappeared, leaving only a line of twisted words prepared early:
“She has already latched onto me. Thirty-six seconds later, I will die. I must change hands. Only a ghost can contend with a ghost, so these hands must also be a ghost’s.”
“Ghost Hand?”
Seeing the information on Human Skin Paper, Yang Jian instantly thought of this ghost.
At this moment,
Even knowing that the Intelligence on Human Skin Paper contained unknown traps, that was a problem for later. Right now, he only wanted to survive under the Ghost Bride.
Without thinking, Yang Jian urgently drove Headless Ghost Shadow to open a golden box in his Pocket.
After opening the box, a thick layer of Gold Leaf wrapped something inside, shaped like a hand. It was the Ghost Hand he had Detained on the Airplane back then.
The moment the box was opened, Ghost Hand showed signs of Resurrection, about to vanish from his sight.
Even if rashly Controlling Ghost Hand might lead to whole-body Fierce Ghost Revival,
Yang Jian had no choice.
The next second,
At the instant the pale, bloodless Palm disappeared, a mass of Dark Shadow enveloped it.
Ghost Shadow instantly invaded this Ghost Hand.
The originally blurring, about-to-disappear Ghost Hand suddenly stiffened as if it had lost its Weirdness.
But the moment Headless Ghost Shadow grabbed this Ghost Hand, an Unexpected Change occurred.
The tall, Darkness-filled headless shadow was no longer under Yang Jian’s Control, and the half-body affected by Ghost Bride’s Supernatural seemed to return to normal.
It walked straight toward him holding Yang Jian’s Arm and began returning to his Body.
“As expected, the worst situation I feared happened. Whether I live or die now is up to fate.” Yang Jian’s pupils contracted. He felt Headless Ghost Shadow acting on Instinct. Though Dead Machine, this Instinct persisted.
It wanted to assemble a Fierce Ghost’s Body.
Now obtaining this Palm was like getting a Puzzle Piece.
When Yang Jian previously Controlled Headless Ghost Shadow, it often lost control at night, automatically Attacking people nearby, which he could stop before.
But now,
Yang Jian’s Body was Controlled by Ghost Bride’s Supernatural. Even if Ghost Shadow began taking over his Body, he still maintained the hand-holding Action.
Soon.
Headless Ghost Shadow returned to Yang Jian’s Body, bringing back a pale, bloodless Palm.
Like splicing building blocks.
Yang Jian’s slender, pale hand bizarrely detached and fell to the ground on its own, while the other Palm smoothly replaced his original one, becoming his new hand.
Splicing complete.
When Headless Ghost Shadow’s out-of-control state ended, Yang Jian immediately felt a Chilling aura invade his whole Body along the Arm.
The Palm lost sensation; touch and Pain disappeared, replaced by a foreign object feeling not his own.
No touch, no sense of cold or heat, no Pain, but bizarrely, Yang Jian’s whole Body could not move—only this Ghost Hand could swing freely.
Moreover, after switching to Ghost Hand, Headless Ghost Shadow’s Body-replacement Instinct seemed to vanish.
Yang Jian knew this Instinct of Headless Ghost Shadow was only temporarily dormant. Because his Body was one step closer to a ghost’s form, the Body’s deterioration improved somewhat, so the Instinct subsided.
But such arbitrary Body replacement could easily break his Balance, leading to even graver problems.
“No time to worry about my own condition now. Survival comes first.” His face darkened.
He felt that if he made another mistake today, he might really die here.
Ghost Bride’s Supernatural was too Terrifying, making him feel deeply powerless.
A Supernatural Event he could not escape was very prone to Despair.
Yet even after Controlling Three Ghosts, Yang Jian still could not Control his own Body. He was prepared to await his fate.
Because, put another way,
The Fierce Ghosts he Controlled combined were not even on the same level as Ghost Bride.
“This trip to Dajing City was truly a mistake. Hah, Ghost Hand has been successfully Controlled. If the hand is the Medium, then next, I can only wait to hold hands with Ghost Bride and see if an Unexpected Change occurs.”
Yang Jian quietly awaited what would happen next.
When a chill even stronger than from Controlling Ghost Hand transmitted from the hand, Yang Jian, unable to see Ghost Bride, confirmed he was now holding hands with a ghost.
The next second,
A patch of Weird red light instantly dyed the sky over Dajing City red.
