Chapter 5: Ghost Characters Never Controlled
He didn’t know when, but Zhang Lei took out his mobile phone and opened a recording.
Jiang Shan’s face turned deathly pale, and he instantly rushed over, snatching the mobile phone and smashing it heavily onto the ground.
The terrifying knocking sound finally stopped.
But Jiang Shan knew that he and the others had already triggered the Knocking Ghost’s Killing Pattern, and he didn’t know when that terrifying Knocking Ghost would appear and kill him.
Jiang Shan glared angrily, his gaze filled with killing intent directed at Zhang Lei:
“I only give you time for one sentence of explanation. Why did you play this recording?”
“If you can’t explain clearly, I’ll kill you immediately!”
“I-I suddenly felt in my mind that doing this would allow me to survive.”
Zhang Lei, who was frozen in place, trembled all over under Jiang Shan’s gaze and said shakily.
“Feeling?!”
“Where did you get this recording from?”
“A junior high school classmate of mine sent it to me, saying it was the reason for the haunting at the neighboring school. I-I didn’t dare to open it.”
Hearing Zhang Lei’s words, Jiang Shan tried hard to calm himself down. Although he was extremely angry now, he always felt there was something wrong with this matter.
Especially Zhang Lei’s first sentence, which made him feel doubt.
Suddenly feeling in his mind that he had to do this?
It must be known that humans possess subjective consciousness and will carry out some actions under it.
The legendary subconscious is nothing more than instinct from the body and genes, and Zhang Lei’s words felt very familiar to Jiang Shan, just like there was a person living in his mind.
Ghost Characters?!
Suddenly, Jiang Shan thought of the Ghost Characters that had autonomously appeared in his mind. Zhang Lei’s situation was so similar to his own.
Before Jiang Shan could think further, he noticed that the gray fog was faintly about to dissipate, and all three of them saw the school gate right not far from them.
“Jiang Shan! Look quickly!”
Chen Yue pointed to the distance with a face full of surprise, but suddenly her face turned pale, and she stammered:
“J-Jiang Shan, human faces, human faces!”
Without her saying it, Jiang Shan had already noticed that the surroundings of the three were filled with dead person ghost faces. They were about to break through that last thin layer of gray fog and look toward everyone!
Jiang Shan looked anxious and said to the two:
“Follow me quickly, Dead Face Ghost is coming!
“When you can clearly see those human faces, don’t say a single word! Don’t make any sound from your throats!”
The instant Jiang Shan finished speaking, his eyes scanned back and forth between the two, closely observing their expressions.
Chen Yue clearly froze for a moment, then nodded frantically to indicate, while Zhang Lei, from beginning to end, besides his original fear, showed calmness in Jiang Shan’s eyes.
And he seemed not to have heard Jiang Shan’s words, exceptionally cold and indifferent.
In this highly tense atmosphere, Zhang Lei’s performance made him feel a chill in his heart.
As expected, Zhang Lei had been influenced by the Ghost Characters.
Was it when he helped him that the Ghost Characters took the opportunity to invade?
Jiang Shan looked down at the scarlet Ghost Characters covering his hands. At this moment, he only felt deep fear!
He had never controlled the Ghost Characters. All of this was an illusion given to him by the Ghost Characters.
Had the Newspaper Ghost really in his mind reached a balance with the Ghost Characters?
What exactly was the intention of the Ghost Characters?
One doubt after another made Jiang Shan somewhat confused, but he still immediately took action!
And it seemed the Ghost Characters noticed Jiang Shan’s intention, as the scarlet characters unexpectedly disappeared from his hands on their own.
Just as the two were about to act, Jiang Shan, who was in front of Zhang Lei, suddenly turned back and tore off Zhang Lei’s face skin!
The sudden unexpected change startled Chen Yue, and she covered her mouth in horror as she looked toward Zhang Lei.
And at this moment, Jiang Shan finally confirmed,
He had never controlled the Ghost Characters from beginning to end!
It had been deceiving him all along!
Only because the Zhang Lei whose face skin was torn off still acted like a normal person, using those blood-drenched eyeballs to signal the two to hurry away.
It was only when he saw the face skin in Jiang Shan’s hand that he revealed a face full of disbelief.
“Jiang Shan, you!”
Zhang Lei said in shock and anger.
The instant he spoke, his pupils began to dilate continuously, his face turned ashen, as if his breathing was being choked off, and his whole body stiffly fell to the ground!
Zhang Lei died!
The Dead Face Ghost’s Killing Pattern is when it looks at you.
Once you make a sound, you must die!
Seeing Zhang Lei’s death state, Chen Yue finally understood why Jiang Shan had reminded her not to speak.
She, who had survived the disaster, gave Jiang Shan a grateful look.
Jiang Shan happened to turn back and meet her gaze. He gave Chen Yue a look, then ran toward the school gate.
Seeing that Jiang Shan had set off, Chen Yue bit her teeth hard to keep from making a sound, dragging her trembling body to follow behind Jiang Shan.
The gray fog had been dispersed by something unknown and, compared to just before, had become thin.
The color of the fog seemed to be eroded by the night, gradually turning toward dark gray.
And Jiang Shan knew why,
It was because the Knocking Ghost’s Ghost Domain was confronting the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain, and now they showed a trend of overlapping!
Two terrifying fierce ghosts carrying Ghost Domains were about to converge in this campus.
Plus these two on his body,
A total of four fierce ghosts,
Actually able to appear in the same campus!
Jiang Shan’s expression tightened. He suspected whether it was this world’s rejection of him that had caused the current situation.
From when he had just transmigrated here, encountering the Newspaper Ghost at home,
To now four fierce ghosts gathered in one school.
It seemed this world harbored endless malice toward him, wanting to thoroughly kill him, this outsider.
“Hehe, my life was picked up anyway. What’s the harm in playing with you?”
Jiang Shan’s expression was calm. Before transmigrating, he had drowned to death due to acting heroically.
Being able to live again in the Mysterious Revival world he loved most before death, he was already content.
Death is not terrifying.
Fearing death is the most terrifying.
Now the school gate was within reach. As long as they charged ahead with heads down, Jiang Shan and the other could escape this place, escape this campus haunted by fierce ghosts.
But the faster they ran, the more unease Jiang Shan felt in his heart.
Their surroundings were filled with floating human faces, their deathly still faces staring blankly at the two.
That gaze full of chill made his scalp tingle.
“Jiang Shan, look quickly!”
Seeing that substantial gate, Chen Yue said excitedly. She had never felt the school gate so friendly and safe before.
As long as she left here, she could survive!
It was right in front of her!
Just a few steps away!
When she followed behind Jiang Shan and completely rushed out of the gray fog, she froze.
Jiang Shan, who was following behind Chen Yue with a cautious face, also froze at this moment.
An old man wearing a black shirt, covered in death spots all over his body, with a pale face, was standing under the school wall, motionless toward the school gate.
Knocking Ghost!
Jiang Shan’s pupils suddenly contracted. He discovered that everything around the Knocking Ghost had rotted beyond recognition.
It seemed he had been waiting here for Jiang Shan and the other for a long time.
Jiang Shan gave a bitter smile.
Now inside his body, there was only the Newspaper Ghost that modified memory and the Ghost Characters he had never controlled.
In front was the terrifying Knocking Ghost.
Behind was the sky full of Dead Person Ghost Faces.
How could he survive?
“Thump thump thump”
