Chapter 104: Got Caught
Wang Xiaoqiang stated his purpose.
The general purpose was to get the other party to join their club.
The other party was a newcomer, and one with ability.
Hmm, although he didn’t take the righteous path.
But very coincidentally, they needed talent like this.
The young man was named Liu Cai, the Cai of brilliant talent.
A person true to his name.
His life experiences were extremely rich, and his talent was extremely high.
The other party was a smart person and quickly made his choice.
Manyue breathed a sigh of relief. At the moment the other party agreed, she felt relieved in her heart while also feeling somewhat complex.
“Let’s go. Club gathering. The newcomer can get familiar.”
Wang Xiaoqiang directly opened his ghost domain, taking the two toward that park.
Dusk had fully fallen.
The firelight from the bonfire dispelled the surrounding darkness.
Oil splashed onto the charcoal fire, making sizzling sounds.
Lin Qian looked up at the river water reflecting the firelight.
“Yan Li, in a while, I need you to help me with something.”
Yan Li looked up. “What thing?”
Lin Qian didn’t speak, merely turning his head to look at Yan Li.
Yan Li was silent for a moment. “Okay.”
Without any hesitation, he agreed.
“President, you’re not going to leave again, are you?”
Wang Xiaoqiang asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, Ye Feng, Lu Lin, Manyue, and the newcomer Liu Cai all looked toward Lin Qian.
As for why Liu Cai looked at Lin Qian, this was unclear. Maybe to fit in.
“Yes, I need to resolve my own problem.”
“Handling this supernatural event in Da Jiang City seemed very easy, but in reality, I have a big problem myself.”
Lin Qian poked at the bonfire.
Without resolving the three revived ghosts, he would likely be in great danger in the future.
It was just a kind of intuition.
“What problem?”
Wang Xiaoqiang was puzzled.
What problem could Lin Qian have?
Fierce ghost revival?
Don’t joke.
They knew best how eerie the ghosts he created were.
The reason they were still alive now was entirely because of the dormant fierce ghosts in their bodies.
And Lin Qian was the source of creating dormant fierce ghosts.
He would only be less likely to have issues than them.
“I made a muddled decision. I used a dormant ghost as a puzzle piece for a revived ghost.”
“Now in his body, three fierce ghosts are revived. My methods cannot make them dormant.”
“So, I need to go resolve it.”
Lin Qian roughly explained his problem.
Wang Xiaoqiang’s expression changed immediately.
Lu Lin’s heart sank.
Ye Feng’s gaze shifted slightly.
Yan Li was surprised.
“Can’t controlling a new fierce ghost suppress the revived ghost?” Lu Lin asked.
The balance between fierce ghosts was essentially mutual suppression.
They used dormant ghosts to suppress revived ghosts. Once the revived ghosts were suppressed and wouldn’t revive, they could freely use the supernatural powers of the fierce ghosts.
In this situation, one only needed to control a dormant fierce ghost to suppress the revived one.
Lin Qian surely knew this.
“My situation is different from yours.”
“Specifically how, your strength gap with me is too great. You can’t understand.”
“In short, I need to handle my own problem.”
Lin Qian’s gaze was deep.
He couldn’t plunder fierce ghosts anymore, especially that kind of ghost that caused deadlock.
This would be very dangerous.
Liu Cai was bewildered. He somewhat couldn’t understand.
Manyue was silent. She also somewhat couldn’t understand.
Yan Li, Wang Xiaoqiang, Ye Feng, and Lu Lin’s expressions were grave.
“President, what are the odds of success?”
Wang Xiaoqiang asked.
Hearing this, Lin Qian didn’t answer immediately but looked toward Yan Li.
Yan Li was stunned and pointed at himself. “Looking at me?”
Lin Qian nodded. “Indeed, it depends on you. You are the most crucial step.”
“I… I don’t think I can…”
Yan Li immediately lost confidence.
Such a heavy responsibility on him, this…
Wasn’t this a bit too much trust in him?
“Yan Li has experienced too few supernatural events and lacks experience. How about I do it?”
Ye Feng spoke up.
“My current strength is about the same as Yan Li’s. Although in terms of suppression power I can’t compare, in terms of killing power, I can completely surpass Yan Li.”
Ye Feng said confidently.
Lin Qian shook his head. “No.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned. “I can’t either?”
“What about Old Lu then?”
Ye Feng pointed at Lu Lin.
Lu Lin looked at Lin Qian expectantly.
Lin Qian didn’t speak, his gaze falling on the bonfire.
“Uh…”
Fine, he couldn’t either.
Lu Lin immediately felt somewhat disappointed.
Seeing that neither Lu Lin nor Ye Feng could, Wang Xiaoqiang didn’t speak. He knew very well his own situation.
He was even less suitable.
“Only Yan Li?” Wang Xiaoqiang was silent for a moment, then asked somewhat unwillingly.
Lin Qian nodded. “Yan Li has sufficient suppression power, representing sufficient terror level of the supernatural.”
“With his help, the chance of surviving is very high. You all…”
Lin Qian shook his head. “Likely to die.”
“We’ll all die?”
Ye Feng and Lu Lin exchanged a glance, puzzled in their hearts. What exactly did the president need Yan Li to help with?
“What do I need to do?”
Yan Li also realized the seriousness of the matter.
“I’ll tell you later. Knowing now does you no good.”
Lin Qian had no intention of revealing the method to become an anomaly or the news that he was going to become one.
The fewer people who knew about such things, the better.
Even for Yan Li, he would only tell him what to do, not the full picture.
The matter seemed somewhat mysterious.
Wang Xiaoqiang and the others were somewhat silent.
Yan Li was thinking about what help his abilities could provide the president.
His current abilities seemed only strong in suppressing fierce ghosts. In terms of killing power, they could basically be ignored.
Of course, his own survival ability was also decent. Because of the two ghosts in his body, his tolerance for supernatural was extremely high.
Could it be?
Yan Li’s gaze flashed.
Could it be that what the president needed was his tolerance for supernatural?
“Alright, this is my matter. You want to get involved but can’t. At least, with your current strength, you can’t participate.”
Lin Qian waved his hand. “Put more effort into rebuilding Da Jiang City.”
“I won’t be back for a short time, but I’ll leave some things behind. At critical moments, you can use those things to call me.”
Going to become an anomaly himself, he definitely couldn’t free himself in a short time.
Regarding the method given by the human skin paper, although there was the ghost cabinet as assurance.
He still remained vigilant.
So, he needed to leave a backup plan.
“President, the way you say it makes it sound like you won’t come back.”
Wang Xiaoqiang said forcedly.
Lin Qian smiled but didn’t speak.
Would it succeed?
There were many variables.
Any single link going wrong would cause him to fail.
“I won’t say too much. Saying too much isn’t good. I won’t give guarantees either, as they might backfire.”
Lin Qian gazed at the flowing water. “The world is changing. We all have to change.”
With that, he stood up.
“You all gather. I’ll go to the warehouse and prepare some ghosts for you.”
“Yan Li, come with me.”
Seeing Lin Qian stand up, the others also stood up.
But Lin Qian gestured with his hand for them to sit down.
Yan Li didn’t speak and just nodded.
Ghost domain opened. Lin Qian took Yan Li and instantly disappeared from the spot.
After Lin Qian took Yan Li away.
Wang Xiaoqiang looked at the bonfire and sighed. “Our president, aside from liking to wander outside, is otherwise pretty good.”
“Mm, at least much better than the president of the supernatural forum, Ye Zhen.”
“But…”
Wang Xiaoqiang was somewhat helpless.
Lu Lin also sighed, but soon showed a smile. “I think it’s fine. After all, a fierce tiger always travels alone.”
“Sometimes I don’t understand why the president established this organization.”
“He doesn’t need our help. Mm, I mean in terms of strength.”
“Don’t think our current strength is very strong, but it’s certain that anything the president can’t handle, even all of us together couldn’t handle.”
“Always feels like we’re logistics.”
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang was stunned, then said, “Coincidentally, I feel the same.”
“Strange feeling.” Lu Lin smiled.
Manyue frowned slightly. “Why do I feel like it’s a parent raising kids, wanting to see them grow up?”
Wang Xiaoqiang: “…”
Lu Lin: “…”
“If you can’t speak properly, don’t. No one thinks you’re mute.”
Wang Xiaoqiang said.
Lu Lin glanced at Manyue. “We’re trying to find some role for ourselves, but with your words, we directly have no role.”
Manyue immediately stopped talking.
Liu Cai listened and felt it was quite peculiar.
This club he joined seemed like it would be very lively in the future.
Da Jiang City, inside the club villa.
Yan Li waited inside the villa.
Waiting for Lin Qian to return.
About half an hour later, Lin Qian carried a blood-red shovel and grabbed a pitch-black hanging rope, walking out from the darkness.
“Take this rope. It’ll be used later.”
“Next, come with me on a trip. If you’re lucky, you can enhance your supernatural.”
“If not, then pretend I said nothing.”
He was now going to use the shovel to head to that eerie place.
What kind of place it was, he actually knew very well, because he had been there before.
He had almost not come back.
This time should be much better.
Going by himself, although bringing someone, it wouldn’t be like last time, full of dangers.
Yan Li took the black hemp rope.
This was a ghost rope.
It was also a ghost.
To hold that ghost barehanded, any other ghost controller probably wouldn’t dare.
After all, this was a ghost.
But now, he was completely unafraid, even if this ghost was a revived ghost.
He similarly wasn’t afraid.
Let alone that this ghost had clearly gone dormant.
He wrapped the hemp rope around his arm and didn’t speak, just nodded.
Lin Qian grinned. This kind of member was a good member. Whatever the club president was going to do, he didn’t ask, just followed.
He thrust the shovel in his hand into the ground.
The next moment, chilling cold erupted, supernatural was triggered.
Suddenly, the ground under their feet turned black.
Without any warning, the two directly fell into the darkness.
Weightlessness emerged. The surroundings quickly plunged into darkness, and the differing darkness above their heads rapidly disappeared.
Yan Li narrowed his eyes slightly, blood color flashing in his eyes.
Supernatural filled his eyes, peering into the darkness.
But Yan Li immediately discovered he couldn’t see the surroundings at all.
The surrounding darkness, even supernatural couldn’t peer into it.
The weightless feeling made one’s heart race with fear.
But Yan Li was not afraid at all, because the president was by his side.
He didn’t know how much time passed when Yan Li suddenly felt something unusual.
This feeling was extremely eerie.
It was as if part of his own body was outside.
The next moment, a pale white hand grabbed Yan Li’s shoulder.
Before Yan Li could react.
The surrounding darkness instantly receded.
Immediately after, a terrifying pulling force emerged.
By the time Yan Li reacted, he was already standing in a strange place.
The surroundings were dim, but not dark.
Looking up, withered trees and dry graves, paper money scattered on the ground.
Countless grave mounds, endless at a glance.
The ghost in his body began to stir. There were kin around!
“This is…”
Shovel flipping, Lin Qian glanced around. “Endless Graveyard, the source of the ghost grave in your body.”
“To be precise, the grave soil in your body is not as pure as here.”
The grave soil used to balance the ghost blood in Yan Li’s body was derived from some grave soil he brought out when confronting the old man of Taiping Ancient Town.
It took consuming many corpses to obtain a box of grave soil.
Just enough to balance the ghost blood in Yan Li’s body.
“So much?”
Yan Li’s pupils widened.
So much grave soil. If he controlled it all, how terrifying would that be?
Lin Qian glanced at Yan Li. He always felt the other was thinking something very terrifying.
But at this moment, he didn’t care anymore.
He looked at the densely packed grave mounds around.
A sense of desolation emanated from these grave mounds.
This was the world of ghosts, the world of the dead.
Lin Qian gripped the shovel tightly. “Watch for me. Shout immediately if there’s any movement.”
Hearing this, Yan Li nodded quickly.
This place clearly wasn’t safe at first glance.
Lin Qian licked his lips. He didn’t need much, just enough grave soil to suppress the ghost messenger’s supernatural.
He took out a specially made gold pocket, shook it, and placed it on the ground.
He spat two mouthfuls of saliva onto his palm, gripped the shovel tightly, went directly to a dry grave, kicked over the tombstone with one foot, then raised the shovel and dug into the grave mound.
Yan Li saw this and was immediately stunned.
Digging graves?
Lin Qian shoveled up grave soil and packed it into the gold bag.
After a few shovels, the bag was half full.
Watching Lin Qian’s deft movements.
Yan Li felt somewhat uneasy.
“Why aren’t you helping?”
When Lin Qian had filled one pocket and started on the second.
An elderly voice rang out.
Yan Li subconsciously replied, “I’m on lookout.”
“Oh, and what result have you gotten from that?”
“None.” Yan Li shook his head.
At this moment, Lin Qian, who was digging the grave, stiffened and slowly stood up.
Yan Li was stunned and puzzled. Had the president dug enough?
But suddenly, he reacted, and his expression changed.
Without any hesitation, supernatural erupted.
But the next moment, an elderly hand pressed onto Yan Li’s shoulder.
Immediately, the erupted supernatural went dormant.
Yan Li’s eyes widened, full of disbelief.
He stiffly turned his head and saw an old man looking at him and Lin Qian expressionlessly, holding a lantern in his hand.
At this moment, Lin Qian slowly turned around, his expression extremely grave.
