Chapter 62: Face-ripping Expert
“Is he crazy? Damn it, if this ghost starts indiscriminate attacks after stopping the Ghost Bus, none of us will survive.”
After the bus showed abnormalities, Lin Bei began observing Jiang Shan’s expression.
When he discovered that Jiang Shan’s expression showed no surprise at all, he thought Jiang Shan was very familiar with the Ghost Bus.
But looking at it this way.
He is just a complete madman!
Lin Bei’s face darkened as he looked out the window. He didn’t dare to act rashly at this time, fearing that any action would lead to an Unexpected Change.
“What is he trying to do?!”
Not only Lin Bei noticed Jiang Shan getting off; there were also the others on the bus who survived thanks to Jiang Shan’s reminder.
But when they saw Jiang Shan actually getting off proactively to find that ghost, everyone’s faces showed some terror.
They weren’t worried about Jiang Shan’s life or death; they were afraid that Jiang Shan’s act of seeking the ghost might cost them their lives!
These people were afraid of Jiang Shan, but they never once thought about why Jiang Shan would save them.
Kindness?
In this world, it is even less valuable than dog shit.
At this moment,
The Grave Crying Ghost had already reached the rear of the bus and was slowly walking toward the front entrance with its head down.
The Ghost Bus seemed able to suppress even the ghosts near it. The Grave Crying Ghost’s originally terrifying crying sound had disappeared, and at this moment, it was like a passenger, obediently walking toward the bus.
When stepping off the Ghost Bus, the chilling aura emanating from the Fierce Ghost instantly enveloped Jiang Shan, and his face began to inexplicably show a sad expression.
Although he didn’t hear the crying, the Grave Crying Ghost’s Curse still affected Jiang Shan.
“Cry cry cry, cry your ass, lend me your face skin for a bit. After borrowing your face skin, I’ll cry over the grave properly for you!”
“Attack!”
After the distance was sufficient, Jiang Shan suddenly raised his right hand and unhesitatingly inserted the Withered Finger into the Grave Crying Ghost’s lower jaw, then released the Ghost Rope he had prepared earlier.
While performing this series of actions, a cold, pale Dead Face Ghost appeared on Jiang Shan’s face.
Immediately,
Worn Straw Ropes began to drift in the Dead Face Ghost’s Ghost Domain.
They were like Poisonous Snakes seeking lives, ready to launch fatal attacks on everything around them at any time!
Without the Ghost Domain, Jiang Shan couldn’t use the Ghost Rope, so he had to use the Dead Face Ghost.
During the more than forty minutes on the Ghost Bus, he felt that the Dead Face Ghost had been somewhat suppressed, and the Ghost Domain should be able to open for a few minutes.
Not to mention a few minutes,
Even one minute would be enough!
Because the Ghost Rope has indiscriminate attacks, even against ghosts.
Suddenly, one of the worn Straw Ropes drifting in the air landed on the Grave Crying Ghost’s neck without warning.
Almost instantly, that Straw Rope tightened as if pulled by two strong men, strangling the Grave Crying Ghost’s neck and hoisting it up!
In just a few seconds, the Grave Crying Ghost that had terrified everyone was now suspended in the air with its feet off the ground, like a dead person.
“!?”
The sudden events made the tense Lin Bei’s pupils shrink. He looked incredulously at the Grave Crying Ghost suspended by the Ghost Rope and murmured softly:
“This ghost is actually being hoisted up? What exactly is he trying to do?”
Seeing that the distance between the ghost and Jiang Shan was only an arm’s length, Lin Bei’s eyelids twitched wildly, and he thought:
“If he wanted to avoid the Ghost Attack, there’s no need for the ghost to be so close to him. He must be doing this for something!”
Just as Lin Bei was guessing Jiang Shan’s Intention.
The Grave Crying Ghost now had no further movements; it seemed briefly restricted by the Ghost Rope’s Supernatural, but its Curse was still affecting Jiang Shan.
“The Ghost Rope’s Supernatural cannot fully suppress the Grave Crying Ghost; I need to finish this quickly.”
Feeling endless sadness surging in his heart, Jiang Shan knew the source of this abnormality.
Even so, looking at the White Cloth with a Crying Face used by the Grave Crying Ghost to cover its face, his eyes remained burning hot.
“This Crying Face might be the key to balancing the Dead Face Ghost’s Supernatural. Good thing I’m good at ripping face skins—human faces, ghost faces, top of the national server, check my record!”
Knowing time was limited, Jiang Shan deftly put on his custom Gold Gloves, placed both hands on the White Cloth with a Crying Face on the Grave Crying Ghost’s face, and yanked downward fiercely.
“Rip~!”
The sound of tearing ragged cloth echoed around the periphery of the deathly still Graveyard.
A chilling White Cloth was held in Jiang Shan’s hand, with a clear Human Face outline visible on it—empty and Weirdness, carrying a sad crying intent.
The moment he got the White Cloth, Jiang Shan retracted the Ghost Rope and Ghost Finger without hesitation, turned around immediately, and boarded the Ghost Bus.
Hit and run, never greedy.
The Grave Crying Ghost beside the Ghost Bus, now without its face-covering White Cloth, slowly stood up after Jiang Shan boarded the Ghost Bus, then walked onto the bus with slow steps in the last few seconds before the doors closed.
Everyone on the bus watched Jiang Shan holding the White Cloth with a Crying Face and the Fierce Ghost in white mourning clothes behind him, not daring to breathe. Their hearts pounded as they stared fixedly at the man and ghost.
After boarding, the Grave Crying Ghost sat in the seat closest to the door, then remained motionless like a statue, neither moving nor emitting that terrifying Grave Crying sound.
Jiang Shan returned to his original seat.
Compared to ordinary people’s fear, Lin Bei and the pair of sisters on the bus felt more solemn.
A ruthless person who could snatch something from a ghost,
Even on the Ghost Bus, he was an existence they had to be vigilant about. Who knew if Jiang Shan could kill them on the Ghost Bus?
Unbeknownst to Jiang Shan, he had already become a thorn in the side of the three Ghost Wielders on the bus.
It didn’t matter if he knew,
Fearing this and that to stay alive wasn’t Jiang Shan’s style; otherwise, he wouldn’t have offended so many Ghost Wielders for money back then.
The weak should fear the stronger; when do the stronger fear the weak?
This isn’t the Cultivation World; this is Mysterious Revival!
Here—the stronger remain dominant, the weak remain weak.
Sitting back in his seat, Jiang Shan began wrapping the Ghost Rope with Gold Leaf and put the White Cloth with a Crying Face into the small Gold Box he carried.
The Ghost Rope was suppressed on the Ghost Bus and unable to resurrect, but if not handled, it would immediately resurrect upon getting off.
Then he’d have to use the Dead Face Ghost to detain it again,
Troublesome.
While Jiang Shan calmly handled the Ghost Rope, Liu Yingying sitting beside him looked at him with eyes full of fear and tremblingly said:
“Brother, are you human or ghost?”
“Ghost.”
“Ghost? Ah.” After hearing Jiang Shan’s answer, Liu Yingying’s face changed drastically. Her body involuntarily leaned toward the window, tears already welling in her eyes.
“If I were a ghost, could I sit here chatting nicely with you? I just want to tell you, you’re smart, but not calm. Facing ghosts like this, you won’t survive.” Jiang Shan said coldly.
Because of the girl’s kind act earlier, he was willing to say a few more words to her.
After all, for ordinary people unfamiliar with ghosts, knowing some inside information about ghosts could greatly increase their survival rate.
But this kind of advice could only be given to suitable people, like Liu Yingying and such.
People like this think for themselves in danger. Though fear dominates most of their actions, giving them a heads-up makes their survival rate higher than normal people when facing ghosts.
Now, Jiang Shan began intentionally observing and noting some talented ordinary people.
After all, without joining Headquarters, teaming up would make him feel more secure in this world, and the premise for teaming up is having trustworthy Teammates.
Although Jiang Shan didn’t need to build his own force for now, gaining a smart person’s gratitude cost him nothing.
This Business was a sure profit.
