Chapter 9: The Out-of-control Sports Car
Is this the Restart?
What a wonderful feeling.
At this moment, Jiang Shan felt as if time had stopped flowing on his body. His consciousness was very clear now, but he couldn’t sense any feelings around him.
Watching his body that kept “Rewinding,” Jiang Shan’s suspended heart gradually settled.
“It’s actually a Restart to the extent of forty minutes.”
Jiang Shan recalled:
In his memory, the future Yang Jian’s Seventh Layer Ghost Domain Restart was only thirty minutes, and the Starving Ghost that once enveloped the entire Dachang City only Restarted to the extent of forty minutes under the Wishing Ghost’s Restart.
And his own first Restart time was also forty minutes.
This was far beyond his expectations.
“This ghost’s Terror Level is very high. Consuming a Ghost Face formed from a Fierce Ghost can initiate a Restart to such an extent.”
“Then if consuming more Ghost Faces at the same time? Could it reach Meng Xiaodong’s level? Or even traverse the future? It seems only trying it will tell.”
Jiang Shan buried this conjecture deep in his heart. If there was a chance on some future day, he would definitely put it into action.
After all, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
But now…
Jiang Shan vigilantly scanned the surroundings. The quiet campus was unusually serene at this moment.
The Knocking Ghost was gone.
After Chen Yue played the knocking sound, it lost its trace.
Similarly, the panicked Chen Yue looked around for a long time before she finally let down her guard completely.
“The ghost is gone.”
Chen Yue, who had survived the disaster, plopped down on the ground. The high mental tension had already exhausted her:
“We survived… I really didn’t die.”
This joy after such a rollercoaster was impossible to hide, but thinking that only she and Jiang Shan had survived out of everyone, this joy quickly faded. Chen Yue looked at Jiang Shan despondently and asked:
“Jiang Shan, did Zhang Lei, Liu Jia, and He Huanhuan all die?”
“Mm.”
After getting Jiang Shan’s answer, this girl who had remained strong through such a terrifying event finally couldn’t hold back and burst into loud sobs.
Chen Yue, sobbing uncontrollably, sat on the ground muttering to herself:
“How can this world be so terrifying? I’m scared, wuwuwu I’m scared!”
Jiang Shan, who was nearby, remained silent at this moment.
Apart from the Newspaper Ghost in his mind, three such terrifying Fierce Ghosts had appeared at the school, and for two people to survive was already a miracle.
The terror of the Fierce Ghosts made even him, who knew in advance, feel so chilled, let alone this student who had never encountered a Fierce Ghost before.
“It’s about to dawn. After going home, no matter what, you must take your parents and leave this city, and come back after a few months.”
“Either go to a rural area, or go to Dahan City or Dajing City.”
“Even if you have to fake being sick or go mad, you must leave here. Don’t stay in Dachang City for the next few months.”
Jiang Shan, who was still Restarting in place, was silent for a long time before suddenly speaking.
“Why?”
“Are there still ghosts in Dachang City?”
Chen Yue’s voice carried a sobbing tone.
“Yes, and many. Not just Dachang City—the entire world will have more and more ghosts appearing.”
“!”
Chen Yue’s eyes grew even more terrified, and she stood there stunned in a daze.
Although Jiang Shan knew saying this would make this girl fall into brief fear.
But the reason he did so was because he really hoped this girl could survive.
Facing more and more Fierce Ghosts, only by knowing of their Existence, preparing sufficient mental preparation, and calmly observing the Pattern of the ghost when unfortunately encountering it could maximize the chance of surviving.
If someone knew of the Fierce Ghosts’ Existence but lived in fear their whole life, then when facing a ghost, death would be their only choice.
Ghosts won’t leave because of your fear; they will only use your fear to kill you more quickly.
So when he saw that Headquarters had no intention of telling ordinary people about the Fierce Ghost Revival, Jiang Shan didn’t know what to say.
Maybe he was too serious, or maybe he thought too simply.
But now that he was truly living in this world, perhaps he could change something.
Soon, the Restart was complete.
After moving his body and detecting no abnormalities, Jiang Shan walked straight up to Chen Yue and extended his hand:
“Let’s go. Why stay here? Not afraid another ghost will come soon?”
After grabbing Jiang Shan’s hand and standing up, Chen Yue wiped her tears, looking aggrieved:
“Don’t come, I’ll go, I’ll go, okay?”
“Even if one comes, don’t you still have me? I think you’re capable.”
Seeing Chen Yue recover so quickly, Jiang Shan said with self-mockery:
“If the ghost that comes is one I can’t handle, even ten of me couldn’t save you. Let’s go quickly.”
“Ah! There really are more?!”
Seeing Jiang Shan leave, Chen Yue hurriedly followed behind him, and the two left the school together.
“Don’t go back to school anymore. It will be Blockaded soon. I’ll take you home first.”
After walking out of the school gate, Jiang Shan glanced at his mobile phone and said.
This wasn’t Jiang Shan being opportunistic or acting like a simp.
Because they shared a life-saving bond, he didn’t want Chen Yue to encounter any accidents on the road.
After all, this female classmate could be said to be Jiang Shan’s first emotional Anchor Point in this world that could somewhat count as a friend.
He, who originally had no relatives or friends, didn’t want to have not even a friend to talk to in this world in the future.
That would drive him mad.
“Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so I’ll see this good deed through to the end and escort Buddha all the way to the west.”
Jiang Shan thought this way, and hearing his words, Chen Yue felt very happy inside.
Because she had seen the entire process of Jiang Shan dying and coming back to life, she knew he now possessed mysterious Weird power.
After just experiencing such a terrifying event, for Jiang Shan to proactively offer to take her home, she didn’t even know how to express her gratitude.
“That password of yours…”
However, between speaking and not speaking, Chen Yue chose to go awkward.
Jiang Shan: …
He originally had some things about Fierce Ghosts he wanted to tell her, but upon hearing the word “password,” he immediately fell silent.
“If I say my account was hacked, would you believe me?”
“No, if you like me, just say it. Still cy1314520.”
“Someone so awesome can’t even admit this little thing.”
Jiang Shan: …
The original owner committed suicide due to depression, which led to him crossing over, but as a result, the original owner continued normal life due to the Newspaper Ghost.
This was no different from buying an account and it being reclaimed.
Even more terrifying was that after reclaiming it, he discovered the original owner had set a secret crush in the account, and it was unrequited.
Jiang Shan’s face darkened, and silence was his answer.
Time passed minute by minute.
Not long after Jiang Shan left, a gray misty small world completely enveloped the school.
In less than half an hour, Jiang Shan sent Chen Yue back to the entrance of her residential area.
Along the way, he told Chen Yue a lot about the Fierce Ghost Revival and urged her to leave Dachang City as soon as possible.
Chen Yue also realized the severity of the situation and began thinking about a plan to persuade her parents.
“I left a little something on you.”
“These characters can help you resist a Fierce Ghost for a while when you encounter one, but it’s not absolute. You must calmly observe the ghost’s Pattern—that’s the key to surviving.”
At the moment of parting, Jiang Shan pointed to Chen Yue’s right arm and said.
Looking at the Ghost Characters hidden under her half-sleeve, Chen Yue smiled knowingly:
“Thank you, Jiang Shan.”
“You’re welcome.”
After bidding farewell, as Jiang Shan walked on the road, he was suddenly attracted by the roar of sports cars. He looked toward the source of the sound.
At one end of the road, four or five brand-new sports cars were speeding on the road, their violent engines emitting roaring sound waves. Their speed was astonishing, and in no time, they rushed to near Jiang Shan.
Because his home was in the suburbs, many people came here to street race in the early morning.
Jiang Shan didn’t pay much attention, glanced at them, and continued walking home along the sidewalk.
But suddenly, Jiang Shan felt the roaring in his ears growing heavier. He turned back to look,
A sky-blue sports car seemed to have lost control, its front and wheels swaying wildly as it crashed toward him!
