Chapter 299: Controlling The Deceiver Ghost
Looking at the girl on the bed, Gao Zhi Qiang had a smug look on his face as he admired his masterpiece. Next, he didn’t plan to waste any more time and prepared to make a move on this girl.
For this pure and cute little beauty who had just graduated from high school, even he had put in quite a bit of effort. Now that the day of “reaping the rewards” had finally arrived, how could he not be anxious?
“I went to a lot of trouble to get you. That troublesome mom of yours even forced me to use Supernatural Power, but in the end, you still couldn’t escape my palm.”
Gao Zhi Qiang, who had already taken off his clothes, continued:
“No wonder I’m so lucky and fated not to go to Dajing City for that meeting with those dead people. Back then, that bunch of trash like Jiang Shangbai and Fang Shiming made that Circle of Friends and wanted to hold some victory celebration. I didn’t go, and as a result, they all got slaughtered by a little brat.”
“This time, Headquarters held another collective meeting, and what happened? I heard none of those High-level Officials at Headquarters survived. Dajing City is now in complete chaos like a pot of porridge. If I had gone, I wouldn’t have found such a tender and dripping premium product like you.”
“Oh, it was a pity I didn’t kill you back then. No worries, I’m here now to make up for your regret, aren’t I?”
A cold voice suddenly appeared by Gao Zhi Qiang’s ear.
“Regret? What regret?”
The next moment.
Gao Zhi Qiang suddenly reacted, his smile abruptly stopping. His whole person seemed to have encountered a ghost, then like a spring, he fiercely jumped up from the bed, his gaze extremely vigilant as he looked toward the direction from which the voice had come.
“Who? Get out here.”
“I’m that little brat you mentioned. Didn’t I hear you say you missed me? I came specifically to see you.” The voice came from a corner of the Room.
Because he had been focusing all his attention on the girl, Gao Zhi Qiang hadn’t noticed at all that in the corner where the voice originated, Silver Light flickered, completely out of place with the dimness of the Room.
Immediately after,
A young man in a black suit abruptly and slowly walked out from that corner.
Yet that corner’s position couldn’t possibly accommodate a person standing there. This person emerged from the Wall as if walking out of it, appearing before him in an extremely unreasonable Strange manner.
“This is… Ghost Domain? He’s that Jiang Shan?!”
Seeing this man he completely didn’t recognize, Gao Zhi Qiang was first stunned. Then, after hearing Jiang Shan’s words, his pupils suddenly contracted. With a face full of Fear, he looked at Jiang Shan and tremblingly said:
“Don’t kill me! I left the Circle of Friends long ago. We have no grudge against each other. If you want to play too, I can give this woman to you, even find more for you. You came to find me…”
“Bang!”
Before Gao Zhi Qiang could finish speaking, with a loud bang, his whole person flew out of the Hotel Room.
The thickened soundproof Hotel Wall, under Jiang Shan’s immense force Kicking, was like paper paste. Naked Gao Zhi Qiang directly smashed through the Wall, then plummeted straight down from the thirteenth floor’s high altitude.
Actually, the time for a person falling from a building is very short.
The entire process has none of the mid-air Saving People or life-recalling moments like in TV dramas.
Under gravity’s acceleration, the falling speed only grows geometrically. The height of thirteen floors is just a matter of moments.
With a dull impact sound, after tossing the clothes to the panicked girl on the bed, his figure immediately disappeared from the Room.
At this moment,
Gao Zhi Qiang, who had fallen from the high altitude, lay motionless on the ground.
His Body was twisted into a Weird posture, deformed. The Bone in his chest was deeply caved in, his mouth and nose full of Fresh Blood.
Although he was badly smashed, because Gao Zhi Qiang’s body contained some kind of Weird Power maintaining his Life, it prevented him from dying after suffering such heavy injuries.
But even so,
Damage to this extent had almost taken half of Gao Zhi Qiang’s life. His face was distorted, the Pain nearly making him pass out.
Before he could recover, a dazzling Silver Light descended from the sky, shining on the nearby ground.
Immediately after, Jiang Shan appeared before him with a cold expression and slightly sinister gaze. He heard him say in an icy tone:
“If it weren’t to make the ghost in your body revive to the maximum extent, the moment you saw me, you would already be dead.”
Because the Black Long Whip’s Supernatural was too fierce, plus Jiang Shan didn’t fully understand the Deceiver Ghost’s Supernatural—his knowledge of it was all on paper.
So Jiang Shan wanted to use Gao Zhi Qiang to make the Deceiver Ghost revive step by step, reaching the optimal level sufficient to confuse the Ghost Painting, making fake seem real.
After all, the Black Long Whip’s Attack could even instantly unbalance the Supernatural in Zhang Xiangguang’s body in one strike, and the Deceiver Ghost’s Terror Level wasn’t high.
Once this special type of Fierce Ghost revives to the limit, what kind of Weird Unexpected Change occurs is unpredictable.
Even if it delayed some time, Jiang Shan had to ensure the Deceiver Ghost in his hands had no issues.
“You like women so much, huh? From what I know, the ghost you Control can Change the Body’s structure, right? So, have you ever used Supernatural on yourself?”
“What exactly do you want to do?”
Gao Zhi Qiang’s expression was ferocious. Seemingly because he had the life-saving method of becoming a ghost, he resentfully said:
“We’re both from Headquarters, and I’ve had no ties with the Circle of Friends for a long time. As long as you let me Survive, whatever you want, I can give it to you. I can join the Branch, I can…”
Gao Zhi Qiang, who knew most of Jiang Shan’s Strength, even on the brink of death, as someone who had Handled Supernatural Events and Survived until now, still had his Reason.
For this ruthless person who had destroyed the Circle of Friends and slaughtered all Headquarters High-level Officials involved, even if in his Cognition he had the life-saving method of turning into a ghost.
But Gao Zhi Qiang still didn’t want to escalate the Conflict. Even if it meant being his dog now, he was willing.
After all, nothing was more important than his own little life.
Moreover, for a Ghost Wielder like Jiang Shan with power, position, and Strength, there must be some reason he came looking for him, right?
Either holding a grudge from the Circle of Friends incident back then, or since Headquarters was now destroyed, wanting to use this excuse to give him a warning first, then make him join the Branch.
Gao Zhi Qiang seemed very confident in his own value.
He never thought Jiang Shan came to find him just to kill him, right?
After all, fights between Ghost Wielders, win or lose, weren’t good for either side. Moreover, if his earlier matters were exposed, it would have quite an impact.
And while he was speaking, Gao Zhi Qiang lying on the ground—his Body was constantly twisting.
His Body, nearly fully fractured from the fall, was now recovering in an inconceivable way.
The shattered Bones twisted a few times and actually spliced back together. The blood all over his face visibly disappeared from Jiang Shan’s sight at a speed noticeable to the naked eye.
And from that kick, Gao Zhi Qiang’s caved-in chest strangely bulged up like an inflated balloon.
In merely over ten seconds, his Body recovered to its previous state.
“If this ghost were just used to make Supernatural Items, it would be too wasteful. If it could truly be Controlled, its Ability would be extremely terrifying.”
Seeing this scene for real, Jiang Shan’s eyes flickered continuously. This Supernatural Power nearly like a Restart—even he couldn’t help but feel astonished.
Because this wasn’t simply repairing injuries.
Gao Zhi Qiang’s Body condition was like Restarting to its healthy, undamaged state one minute ago. At the time of reading, Jiang Shan hadn’t felt much about this level of Supernatural.
But after truly understanding Fierce Ghosts and Supernatural, he realized how special the Deceiver Ghost’s Supernatural was.
In the time it took Jiang Shan to light a cigarette.
Run!
Seeing the opportunity, Gao Zhi Qiang didn’t hesitate at all. He got up and frantically ran toward a roadside alley.
“It worked?!”
Seeing Jiang Shan still standing in place smoking, Gao Zhi Qiang leaned against the Wall and slightly relaxed. Even though his whole body still ached intensely, his mood at this moment was extremely excited.
Because he had actually deceived the world’s number one Ghost Wielder and escaped right under his nose.
Although his Codename was Deceiver Ghost,
But who says this deception can only be for people? For him, he could deceive anything in the world. Sometimes, even ghosts were no exception.
Just now, he used the Ghost’s Ability to deceive Jiang Shan’s sight and hearing, making him think he was still talking to him and wanting to join the Branch.
With the most important senses blocked, in Gao Zhi Qiang’s view, he was no different from air in Jiang Shan’s eyes right now. What he saw was only the fake him.
Not only that,
He could even deceive the ghost in his own Body, making the ghost that would constantly revive believe it wouldn’t revive. And that was why, in nearly a year and a half as a Ghost Wielder, he had never had Fierce Ghost Revival.
Because of this, Gao Zhi Qiang even tried using the Deceiver Ghost to deceive himself into becoming a ghost.
As for the Affect Reality Ability, it was his most commonly used method.
For example, just now when Jiang Shan nearly kicked him to death, he used the ghost to deceive his own Body into thinking it wasn’t injured, so the Body recovered.
He admitted this Jiang Shan might be ridiculously powerful, but which Ghost Wielder who had lived over a year was trash? They just didn’t show it much.
“Damn, my Body hurts so much. I must leave here quickly. The Deceiver Ghost is about to revive. Although I can still deceive Jiang Shan now, I can’t hold out for too long.” Enduring the intense Pain, Gao Zhi Qiang thought to himself.
At this time, he was very clear about his own state. After that fall, the Deceiver Ghost in his body was on the verge of revival.
So he planned to turn and leave while Jiang Shan hadn’t noticed, then find a safe place to let the Deceiver Ghost subside.
Although the Deceiver Ghost, now showing signs of revival, could greatly Affect Reality, this Reality had limited effect on Ghost Wielders.
Let alone top-tier Ghost Wielders like Jiang Shan.
“Hm?! What the hell? Did he discover me?”
Before leaving, Gao Zhi Qiang glanced at Jiang Shan and suddenly discovered that Jiang Shan, still smoking in place, was coldly looking toward him. This immediately sent a chill through his heart.
“Could it be he wasn’t affected by the Supernatural, or does he know the one who ran out just now was fake? No, that’s absolutely impossible. His gaze clearly shifted earlier, which means he definitely saw the fake me, but this…”
“Don’t waste time.”
The moment Gao Zhi Qiang saw Jiang Shan, a cold voice rang by his ear.
Immediately after, he felt something crawling on his body, that Chilling sensation clinging to his entire body like maggots on bone.
“What the hell is this? Wait… I’ve been Suppressed?!”
Gao Zhi Qiang, searching for Jiang Shan’s figure, suddenly noticed this. He felt the ghost inside his Body was being peeled away, and he couldn’t resist this sensation.
“When did this happen? Damn, I can’t use Supernatural anymore!”
At this moment, a trace of Despair surged in Gao Zhi Qiang’s heart. He felt like he wasn’t facing a Ghost Wielder, but an extremely terrifying Fierce Ghost!
However, under this Death Threat, from the depths of this Despair surged a hysterical Madness.
Since it’s death either way, might as well go all out!
Thinking of this.
Gao Zhi Qiang’s face became ferocious. He roared angrily toward the surroundings: “Jiang Shan, if I die, I’ll take you with me. This is all forced by you!”
The next moment,
Gao Zhi Qiang’s figure began to turn Illusory, as if it could disappear from This World at any time.
Immediately after, his voice rang out again. This time, his tone was cold and numb, with a mechanical stiffness, like a cold Corpse:
“I’ve thought before, why can’t I deceive myself into being a ghost? That time I succeeded, so you can’t kill me, but I can kill you!”
“About enough.”
As the words fell,
Two figures gradually appeared in a field of Silver Light. Inside the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain, Jiang Shan held Gao Zhi Qiang’s neck with one hand.
He had been waiting all along.
Waiting for Gao Zhi Qiang to turn into a ghost, waiting for the Deceiver Ghost to reach the optimal revival level.
At this moment,
Gao Zhi Qiang’s whole body involuntarily emanated Chilling cold, his entire person rigid beyond compare—completely the image of a ghost, with no human features left.
The only part of him that could still be considered human now was his Consciousness.
“Can’t move…” Gao Zhi Qiang tried to Struggle, but his Body seemed to have lost control.
But before that, he still said what he thought was enough to Threaten Jiang Shan:
“Jiang Shan, you’re already dead. The current you is just a dead man.”
The Weirdness revealed in that voice absolutely couldn’t come from a living person—Chilling, terrifying.
And after this sentence was said.
Jiang Shan in the Silver Light showed no abnormality. A hint of surprise flickered in his Killing Intent-filled eyes as he looked at Gao Zhi Qiang and calmly said:
“The Deceiver Ghost is even Weirder than I expected. Its Supernatural seems usable by me. It’s really wasteful for you to Control this ghost. Looks like my Plan needs to Change a bit.”
