Chapter 270: Split Up And Take Action
Liu San was first stunned when asked, then he immediately replied: “There are currently eleven paper people that can still move, with four at different locations in the urban area.”
Jiang Shan frowned slightly: “Have those four paper people look for a man named Lu Zhiwen right now. I’ve already had Cao Yanhua send you the intelligence on him and First Base. After leaving this street in a bit, I have a mission for you.”
“Mm.”
With that said.
After confirming that the ghost at the sewer entrance had fallen silent, Jiang Shan immediately signaled everyone to continue the action.
The sunrise slowly rising on the horizon, with its warm and brilliant sunlight, seemed to bring a glimmer of hope to Dajing City, which was undergoing a slow death.
But how could people outside know that in this ancient and majestic city, hundreds of fierce ghosts were resurrecting and wandering.
On this short commercial street of just a few hundred meters, Jiang Shan estimated they had encountered at least six fierce ghosts.
This was an extremely terrifying number, even if these ghosts’ terror levels were not high.
But one must know,
Half a year ago, when the supernatural had just emerged and erupted in revival.
Even in a megacity like Dachang City, an A-level fierce ghost supernatural event was enough to draw Headquarters’ attention.
Some smaller cities could even lose a person in charge to B or C-level supernatural events.
These fierce ghosts that had once been detained, sixty percent of them were buried underground in Headquarters’ five bases.
And now, most ghost wielders couldn’t even solve the revival of their own fierce ghosts, let alone control two or three fierce ghosts while maintaining long-term balance.
So, what kind of turmoil would this ghost tide, born out of this stroke of luck and coincidence, bring to the current domestic supernatural circle and situation?
“My ghost domain has undergone mutation and can’t send you directly to First Base, but I can ensure there are no fierce ghosts within my ghost domain. You just need to keep moving within the range of the ghost domain.”
After sensing they had roughly escaped the range limit of the Ghost Messenger ghost domain, Jiang Shan signaled everyone to stop:
“Next, Liu San will lead the team to head to First Base at the fastest speed. On the way, you should pass by three universities.”
“I’ve already sent the First Base intelligence to Liu San. While heading to First Base, find teachers and students in relevant majors at the universities and have them assist you in restoring Headquarters’ communications.”
After explaining some details, Jiang Shan immediately activated his ghost domain.
A streak of silver light, like a comet’s tail, flashed over everyone’s heads. If someone were standing in the sky at that moment, they would see:
This pale silver light, like a strip of silk, extending from Jiang Shan and the others’ position all the way to a certain valley in the suburbs of Dajing City.
“More dangerous than the previous ghost domain.” Liu San thought to himself.
He could feel that this silver ghost domain wasn’t just changed in color; it also contained extremely terrifying supernatural power. Although this supernatural power was extremely restrained, he could still sense the chilling coldness around him that made his hair stand on end.
It was as if countless ghosts were hidden in this ghost domain, ready to appear by his side at any moment, ready to kill him at any time.
“The codename for this supernatural event is Ghost Night. Prepare for action.”
With that said,
Jiang Shan’s figure vanished from everyone’s sight.
Because the Dead Face Ghost’s ghost domain had gained characteristics similar to “infinite restart,” this very trait made it so he could no longer casually carry ghost wielders and ordinary people as before.
There are gains and losses.
Although this change was very unfavorable for the current situation, for Jiang Shan, it was a huge upgrade.
Now,
Apart from Newspaper Ghost’s modification of killing pattern, Blood Ghost’s consciousness attack, and Ghost Characters’ terror suppression,
Just with Dead Face Ghost’s ghost domain alone, Jiang Shan dared say he could easily kill most ghost wielders or detain most fierce ghosts.
Knocking Ghost ghost domain’s corruption;
Starving Ghost ghost domain’s marking;
Yellow Paper ghost domain’s suppression;
Ghost Rain ghost domain’s “incarnation”;
And now Ghost Messenger ghost domain’s “infinite restart”;
Attack, survival, suppression—the three most common types of supernatural powers—all existed in Dead Face Ghost’s ghost domain.
Jiang Shan dared say,
Once he died, the resurrected Dead Face Ghost would become a terrifying existence no less than Ghost Painting, Starving Ghost, and Ghost Messenger, these three S-level fierce ghosts.
“Seventeen ghosts, none immune to ghost domain suppression. Leaving the communications restoration to Liu San and the others should have no issues.”
“The ghosts released now are all those once detained by the persons in charge of various cities. As long as we restore the files deleted by Headquarters and send those files to Dajing City’s ghost wielders, this crisis might be resolved in a short time.”
Jiang Shan, racing toward the area detaining the Starving Ghost using his ghost domain, had his thoughts racing wildly:
“But Liu San’s action will take time. Now Yang Jian and Wang Chaling are missing, Li Jun is deeply trapped in the Starving Ghost incident and suspected of being attacked, and the other captains are missing.”
“Compared to restoring communications, leaving it to Liu San is fine. I’ll see if I can help Old Qin now, first handle Starving Ghost and Ghost Painting. Even if I can’t help, at least I can rescue Li Jun and A Hong.”
Although Li Jun and A Hong’s abilities didn’t even match any captain’s, after that meeting ended, every captain had been arranged by Sun Huafeng to different locations in Dajing City.
Jiang Shan estimated he could use his ghost domain to suppress at most thirty C-level terror fierce ghosts or fifteen B-level ones at the same time.
If it exceeded that number, he was very likely to suffer a supernatural attack due to the ghosts’ instinct.
So if he used his ghost domain to cover the whole city searching for the captains, Jiang Shan would very likely undergo unimaginable changes in his condition due to the ghosts’ attacks.
Dajing City’s situation did need iron-fisted suppression at high speed, but that didn’t mean he had to take such risks.
“Risking my life to find the captains’ locations isn’t worth it. Cao Yanhua has already sent the information to them via the branch’s special channel, so doing that would be ridiculously stupid.”
Jiang Shan, who had once considered this, rejected the idea the moment it arose.
After all, if he died because of it,
Not only would he fail to play a corresponding role in the current situation, but after his death, the ghost resurrecting inside him would cause a greater disaster than these hundred-plus ghosts.
However, as Jiang Shan maintained his ghost domain while crossing Dajing City in “rainbow transformation” form,
He suddenly felt the supernatural power inside him suppressed by something almost imperceptible.
“Hm?”
As he expanded the ghost domain’s range, Jiang Shan’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Because he saw a painting in a certain villa,
A weird oil painting
