Chapter 84: Fierce Ghost “processing Plant”
No matter what, Ren Xue is already dead, so Ren Ying being alive is always a threat to Jiang Shan.
Ren Ying must also be killed.
Only her death can make him feel at ease.
“Plop~!”
Just as he finished smoking, the sound of something falling to the ground caught Jiang Shan’s attention. He turned his head and looked toward the source of the sound.
He discovered that it was Ren Xue’s corpse that had fallen to the ground, and at this moment, the Ghost Rope in the air had already vanished without a trace.
It seemed it had completely merged into that ghost’s Puzzle Piece, and even its Killing Pattern had been restricted.
If it were the previous Ghost Rope, it would only drift densely in the sky, unconsciously killing all living people within its attack range.
But now, the Ghost Rope had actually disappeared on its own.
“The Freeze to Death Ghost in Ren Xue’s body doesn’t know when it will resurrect. While it’s still dormant now, it’s the perfect time to verify my guess.”
Jiang Shan put on his specially made Gold Gloves, walked to Ren Xue’s side, dragged her corpse, and headed toward the edge of the Ghost Soil.
The chain still wrapped around Ren Xue’s intestines, covered in rust, scraped against the gravel on the ground, producing a harsh clanging sound.
This sound echoed in the Ghost Tree Forest, lingering for a long time.
“Being suspended in the air will attract a Ghost Attack, leaving the Ghost Soil will attract an attack from another ghost. How many ghosts are there in this place? Damn, the Ghost Bus flamed out, unable to escape, Fierce Ghost Revival—it’s like when it rains, it pours.”
“Pah.”
Jiang Shan spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth and tossed Ren Xue to the edge of the Ghost Soil.
As he pushed, just as the corpse’s head left the Ghost Soil by less than half a face’s distance, that invisible terrifying attack appeared.
In an instant,
Ren Xue’s entire head was chopped off.
The cleanness and decisiveness were just like an ancient executioner carrying out a beheading.
One strike, and the head separated from the body.
After suffering the attack, the weird bluish-purple on Ren Xue’s skin began to fade continuously, but there was a small cracked Human Skin on her abdomen that still showed a frostbite-like bluish-purple color.
“It seems this is the true body of the Freeze to Death Ghost.”
Jiang Shan looked at that bluish-purple Human Skin, and a faint chilling aura vaguely emanated from it.
“The Freeze to Death Ghost’s Terror Level is very high. Its Ghost Domain Strength starts at three layers. Even after Restart, it can still emit Supernatural?”
With the Gold Gloves on, although that chilling aura couldn’t penetrate the gold, it still followed his arm, making Jiang Shan feel a trace of cold Erosion.
At this moment, the bluish-purple Human Skin was in the same state as that Broken Foot back then—it was constantly undergoing extremely short Restart periods, with some Supernatural restricting it to a special Timeline.
The purpose of this Restart was different from the Wang Family clock. The Wang Family clock used a thirty-minute Restart to detain the ghost in different time periods, focusing on detention.
While that weird attack’s forced Restart effect on the ghost was more like a mandatory Dead Machine, putting the ghost into dormancy.
This Restart Fierce Ghost gave Jiang Shan a very strange feeling. He always thought it was to make it easier for people to “pick up” the Fierce Ghost.
That’s right, pick up.
Because in the infinite one-second Restart Timeline, the ghost cannot kill people or take Action, so even without the Ghost Hand or specially made Gold Gloves, anyone could grab the ghost with their hands.
Although Jiang Shan wouldn’t take such a risk, grabbing the ghost barehanded was indeed possible according to the ghost’s Pattern.
“This place is somewhat similar to man-made Supernatural Lands like Caesar Grand Hotel, but who has such great ability to create a place like this along the Ghost Bus route?”
Having discovered all sorts of weird phenomena, Jiang Shan found it hard not to think this way.
Ghosts escaping would be forcibly Restarted;
Ghosts suspended in the air would be hung up by the ghost that merged the Ghost Rope into its Puzzle Piece and suppressed into dormancy.
And the Ghost Porcelain Woman was probably “delivering ghosts” here.
“That place not far away isn’t a Slaughterhouse, but a ‘Fierce Ghost one-stop processing center’.”
Although Jiang Shan was complaining in his mind, he understood that if all his guesses were true,
Then the one who could create a Supernatural Land specifically for handling Fierce Ghosts must have an extremely terrifying Ghost Wielder existing here.
Even Dong Dadi,
merely detained all the ghosts in the woods of that ancient house after his death.
He hadn’t seen the ancient house automatically handling Fierce Ghosts.
If the Administrator of this Supernatural Land wasn’t dead, his（ her） Strength would absolutely not be low—at least at the level of the Seven Elders.
But if the Administrator here was dead,
Li Qingzhi, Luo Wensong.
“If they’re dead, so be it. At least there’s still a glimmer of hope.” Jiang Shan thought helplessly in his heart.
He neatly wrapped the bluish-purple Human Skin and the Broken Foot with Gold Leaf, took off his upper shirt, and then bundled all these ghosts on his body with the shirt.
His gaze swept over,
Next up was that rust-covered chain to handle.
“Ren Xue is already dead, and the ghost in her body has been detained by me. Without a target for attack, this chain should no longer cause the ghost in the body to resurrect.”
Since that’s the case,
Jiang Shan bent down and gripped the chain, easily pulling it out of Ren Xue’s body.
The chain was very light and thin, but very long—over three meters. It seemed to have been soaked in fresh blood for a long time, with dark red rust covering it, and scattered flesh and blood fragments in the gaps of the chain.
Overall, it looked just like the worn-out iron chains used in rural areas to tie up dogs.
Jiang Shan shook the chain, then wrapped it a few times and held it in his hand.
“This chain is too eerie. Although I don’t know what happens when it acts on a ghost, the cost of launching an attack on a Ghost Wielder is too great, especially in my current situation—better not to use it if possible.”
Recalling the Despair brought by the joint Revival of four ghosts, that feeling still loomed over Jiang Shan’s heart like a dark cloud.
Now, the wound on his stomach was still continuously bleeding, showing no sign of healing. Moreover, his skin all over was occasionally seeping viscous, fetid Black Blood.
Furthermore, because of the chain, the Balance in his body was broken, and the Ghost Blood could no longer suppress the reviving Blood Ghost and Ghost Characters.
“It seems this Black Blood is that incomplete Ghost Blood. It has undergone some unknown change.”
Wiping away the Black Blood on his arm, Jiang Shan had a premonition that once all this black Ghost Blood in his body flowed out, the Blood Ghost would completely resurrect.
“I need to find a place like the Ghost Bus that can forcibly suppress Fierce Ghosts. If the Ghost Blood is about to run out, I’ll have to Control the Crying Face according to the Human Skin Paper’s method—even if it’s a trap, I’ll have to jump into it.”
Jiang Shan’s heart grew heavy. He knew that losing Balance meant the death countdown had begun. Since he couldn’t leave the Ghost Soil, he’d head deeper into it.
At that place suspected to be the Slaughterhouse, there were many weird buildings. He needed to go there to see if he could find a way to solve his own four-ghost Revival issue.
But before that, Jiang Shan still had one thing to do.
Kill Ren Ying!
Following the footprints left by Zhang Dongxing and Ren Ying, Jiang Shan discovered an extremely narrow path in the woods.
The winding path was completely invisible in the woods, with no telling where it led, but for Jiang Shan, it no longer mattered.
“Clink clink… clink.”
The chain clinked in Jiang Shan’s hand. He looked ahead with a calm expression, striding forward, his figure gradually disappearing into the woods.
A bit stuck on writing today, only two updates. Sorry, brothers.
Will make it up later for sure.
