Chapter 107: Hidden Dangers Appear
Da Jiang City was still undergoing reconstruction with overtime efforts.
They prioritized rebuilding the city’s power supply system.
Next was the network system.
Currently, they had not yet figured out how to publicly announce the situation in Da Jiang City.
Headquarters was also troubled, after all, the supernatural event in Da Chang City was still erupting at that moment.
Meanwhile, in an apartment building in Da Jiang City.
A young man with a pale face stared fixedly at a eerie puppet in front of him.
The puppet had no limbs and no facial features.
It was draped in a black long gown.
The wooden grain on its faceless features was extremely pronounced.
At this moment, eerie blood-red text appeared on the puppet’s face.
: You should pay the price now!!!
The young man looked at the text on the puppet’s face.
He was Xu Ming, a high school senior student, and the place he was in now was his own home.
And this puppet in front of him was something he accidentally found under his grandfather’s bed when he went to the nursing home to visit his grandfather earlier.
At that time, this eerie puppet had been placed inside a box.
His grandfather also did not know whose box it was.
Out of curiosity, he opened it.
After opening it, inside was this puppet.
The appearance of the puppet disappointed him greatly.
He took a simple look and then put it back.
Before leaving, he also asked the dean whose puppet it was.
The dean did not know either, but he would go check.
He did not take it seriously.
He left.
But he had only gone halfway when the dean called to tell him that there was no box and no puppet under his grandfather’s bed.
At that time, he was very surprised and strongly confirmed that he was not lying.
But afterward, the matter was dropped.
However, after he returned home, he felt that the house was very off.
Then, at night, he saw the puppet lying on his bed.
Subsequently, a supernatural event erupted in Da Jiang City.
He watched as one person after another died.
And at that time, text abruptly appeared on the puppet’s face, just like now.
The puppet made a transaction with him.
The content was simple: protect him from being killed by a ghost.
And he needed to pay a price.
As for what the price was, it was unclear.
Because of this puppet, he had successfully survived until now without dying at the hands of a fierce ghost.
But now, he seemed to need to pay the price.
The other’s price was simple: the other wanted to enter his body.
He, of course, was unwilling.
Then, somehow this puppet used some method, and he was trapped in his own bedroom, nearly a week had passed.
He was very hungry now and had almost no strength left.
But the other seemed to be restricted by some unknown rules.
Even if he was about to die, as long as he did not agree, the other would not enter his body on its own.
Xu Ming stared at the blood-colored text on the puppet.
Was it to choose starving to death here, or to pay the price?
He had eaten everything edible in the room.
He licked his lips, his lips were cracked, and a bit of saliva could not moisten the cracked lips at all.
His face was pale, his body powerless.
“Forget it, I agree.”
Xu Ming had no choice; starving to death was at least quicker than being killed by the other.
The moment he said he agreed.
The blood-colored text on the puppet’s face immediately disappeared, replaced by a face completely composed of blood.
The face showed a ferocious smile, then the puppet moved, instantly sticking to Xu Ming’s body.
Then, the other directly drilled into his body.
Xu Ming’s pupils instantly widened, extreme pain appeared.
“Ah!”
Xu Ming let out a shrill scream.
“Kill me! Kill me!”
The extreme pain instantly made him regret it.
He felt his skin being torn open, the puppet was forcibly squeezing into his body, starting from the chest.
His bones seemed to be crushed.
Xu Ming stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, he wanted to struggle, but his body could not be controlled.
The intense pain distorted his mind somewhat, yet with such intense pain, he could not pass out.
It was as if the puppet deliberately did not let him faint.
The screams continued for an unknown amount of time.
Until finally, he had no strength left to howl and scream.
Sizzle~!
The puppet slowly squeezed into his body.
Gradually, the other’s body completely entered Xu Ming’s body.
Then, an eerie scene appeared.
A chill abruptly appeared on Xu Ming’s body, and immediately after, the wounds on his body slowly began to heal under the bundle of the chill.
And all of this, Xu Ming knew nothing about, because the moment the puppet fully entered his body, he finally passed out.
Thus, he completely fainted.
He did not know how much time had passed.
A breeze blew the curtains, long-missed sunlight entered the room.
The next moment, the young man on the ground suddenly sat up, his expression full of terror.
He blinked, then quickly touched his assaulted chest.
Then he blankly looked down, “I’m still alive?”
“Was it a dream?”
“…”
Meanwhile, outside Da Jiang City.
A woman wrapped in a windbreaker narrowed her eyes slightly.
“The elder has successfully come out and found a body.”
“I should also go scheme for the second elder.”
A gust of wind blew by, and the woman eerily disappeared from the spot.
But the next moment, a chill emerged.
Ye Feng abruptly appeared here.
He quickly scanned the surroundings.
“Not here?”
“That shouldn’t be, I sensed it.”
Ye Feng frowned slightly, his figure quickly disappeared from the spot.
He did not know how much time had passed when Ye Feng appeared again.
His gaze was deep, “Gone?”
“It should be a ghost controller…”
Thinking of this, he disappeared again.
Every stir in Da Jiang City now was being noticed by people.
Lin Qian was not here, so they were not safe now.
Any abnormality was worth their attention.
Fortunately, in these two days, no danger had emerged in Da Jiang City; instead, there was good news.
Another new ghost controller was discovered in Da Jiang City.
Moreover, this new ghost controller had considerable strength.
The ghost he controlled was very terrifying.
Moreover, the process of becoming a ghost controller was very fantastical.
A ghost that could communicate, and the price paid was actually to turn oneself into a ghost controller.
Lu Lin and Wang Xiaoqiang, as well as Ye Feng, discussed it, and for the newcomer, they needed to observe for a period of time.
To confirm if there were any risks.
After confirming safety, then make plans.
Right, this newcomer was called Xu Ming.
In these two days, Headquarters finally felt relieved.
Because the supernatural event in Da Chang City had finally been resolved.
It was resolved by Yang Jian using a eerie coffin nail.
That coffin nail was clearly a supernatural item with extremely strong suppression power against ghosts.
It could actually suppress the starving ghost in Da Chang City that could eat ghosts.
Currently, the starving ghost had been transported to Headquarters.
For detention and storage; because of the starving ghost’s extremely high danger, this ghost would not be used for research.
A joyous event.
“Ye Feng, my brother wants me to go to Da Chang City for the celebration banquet. Should I go?”
Wang Xiaoqiang looked at Ye Feng and asked.
Ye Feng looked at Wang Xiaoqiang’s eager appearance and rolled his eyes, “You actually want to go, don’t you.”
“Nonsense, this is a famous opportunity.” Wang Xiaoqiang said.
Ye Feng shook his head, “You’re not suitable to go, the president is suitable, Ye Zhen is suitable, Fang Shiming going is also suitable, but you, even us going is not suitable.”
“No need to go, our Desolate Club will become famous anyway.”
Ye Feng lit a cigarette.
“The supernatural event in Da Jiang City basically can’t be hidden, the supernatural event in Da Chang City is okay, the casualties weren’t that great, but Da Jiang City is different.”
“Can’t hide it.”
“Casualties were too high.”
“The supernatural circle now all knows that the supernatural event in Da Jiang City was more terrifying than Da Chang City, solved jointly by Ye Zhen, Fang Shiming, and the president.”
“Best if you don’t go.”
Wang Xiaoqiang lit a cigar, “Makes sense.”
“Then I won’t go. Da Jiang City’s reconstruction also needs manpower.”
“How’s the observation of Xu Ming going?”
Hearing Xu Ming, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
“No problems discovered.”
Wang Xiaoqiang’s gaze flickered slightly, “Continue observing; no problems discovered is the biggest problem.”
“I don’t believe a ghost that can communicate would be controlled by someone.”
Ye Feng nodded, “Understood.”
Da Chang City.
“You’re telling me it failed?”
Under the streetlight, the dim yellow light flickered.
Zhao Kaiming looked maniacally at the figure under the streetlight.
“You’re fucking telling me it failed, and now I need to go to another place!”
“What a joke!”
“I’ve already completed your plan for you!”
“Our transaction is already over!”
Zhao Kaiming roared in anger.
He had already followed the other’s requirements to raise that ghost and also followed the other’s requirements to stop Ye Zhen.
Now, the other actually told him the plan had failed and needed him to go to another place.
“I don’t care, you must fulfill the transaction right now, immediately!”
Zhao Kaiming’s face was gloomy as he turned and got directly into the car.
The streetlight flickered once and went out.
The figure under the streetlight also disappeared at that moment.
Zhao Kaiming was very irritated at this moment:
“Yang Jian, that waste!”
“He can even detain the starving ghost, but can’t detain the ghost by my side?”
“Yang Jian should just die! Useless thing!”
He now clearly understood that as long as this ghost was still around, his family would die again even after being resurrected.
As long as this ghost was still around.
“Either…”
Zhao Kaiming’s gaze flashed.
“Either I go to that place as that ghost requires, then die.”
“According to the transaction, even if I die, that ghost must fulfill the requirement.”
This was that ghost’s pattern.
Zhao Kaiming exhaled, instantly stopping the car.
Reason told him this was a method with no other choice.
But this was also currently the only method he could think of to achieve it.
Zhao Kaiming’s expression changed variably, he gritted his teeth, damn it, do it!
The next moment, he got out of the car.
“Lead the way!”
Zhao Kaiming said with a gloomy face.
Instantly, an eerie small path appeared, and Zhao Kaiming entered it without hesitation.
At this moment, in Yang Jian’s pocket, that human skin paper suddenly showed text.
That ghost still could not resist the temptation of a terrifying body, it went.
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked toward his pocket, somewhat puzzled.
“…”
Supernatural Land.
This was the third day.
Luo Qian was checking the situation in the ghost domain.
Supernatural overlay was still happening, the overlaid supernatural had reached an extremely terrifying level.
But this had not yet reached the limit.
Supernatural was still overlaying.
Three ghosts were still confronting each other, and no victor had emerged even now.
In just three days, it had reached this level?
Luo Qian’s gaze flickered; in three days, supernatural overlay confrontation, no hidden dangers had emerged yet.
This kid’s hidden dangers were even greater than imagined.
However, the external hidden danger seemed to be provoking another hidden danger for him.
Luo Qian frowned slightly.
He hesitated for a moment, then stood up.
“Senior, what are you going to do?”
Seeing Luo Qian stand up, Yan Li also quickly stood up.
Luo Qian glanced at Yan Li, “Go daze somewhere else.”
Then he instantly disappeared from the spot.
Meanwhile, in an old house.
An old man lay on a grand tutor’s chair, looking at the courtyard.
“Xiao Dong, I remembered an interesting thing from before.”
Next to the old man, an old woman who was sewing clothes slightly raised her head, she pushed up the reading glasses on her eyes.
“Was it that peddler guy who invited you, saying your strength is formidable, and together you could definitely take down yourself?”
The old man shook his head, “Not this matter.”
“Then what is it?”
There were too many interesting things, she could not figure out what he was referring to for the moment.
The old man smiled, seeming very pleased.
“Luo Qian will definitely be furious.”
Hearing this, Meng Xiaodong was stunned, “What happened?”
The old man’s smile could not be stopped.
“You should know about the human skin paper, right.” The old man asked.
“I know, what about it? Did the human skin paper scheme against Luo Qian too?”
“More or less, but not entirely.”
“Originally, the human skin paper wanted to pit a ghost and a puppet person.”
“I’ve told you about it, a very interesting kid came here before.”
“The other borrowed my courtyard to leave.”
“Yeah, it was Lin Qian, I’ve met him before too.”
“You say his way of hitchhiking was unique, very interesting.”
The old man nodded.
“Yes, it was him. He discovered his own problem and used the ghost cabinet to get the human skin paper to give a method without traps to solve his own problem.”
“The method given by the human skin paper indeed had no traps.”
“But the human skin paper did not say some things.”
“For example, a ghost that escaped in Da Jiang City, a ghost in Da Chang City that failed to find a body, for example, the ghost originally in his body, for example, the ghost opera stage going out of control… and the thing existing inside the opera stage.”
“Several hidden dangers, he luckily resolved the first one; he did not stay in Da Jiang City, so that escaped ghost did not discover him, he dodged that hidden danger.”
“But the later hidden dangers, he took them all without missing any.”
“Luo Qian also saw it; he should have chosen to help out of appreciation for Lin Qian.”
“But what he saw was only Lin Qian’s own problem, not the external problem.”
“No, he might have already noticed, hmm, unfortunately, a bit late.”
Listening to the old man’s analysis, Meng Xiaodong was somewhat worried, “Will something happen?”
The old man waved his hand, “I’m still alive, nothing will happen.”
“Relax, this matter also provides some entertainment for Luo Qian; otherwise, guarding a graveyard all day is very boring.”
“When I sneaked over to see him before, I found he was actually talking to a grave, tsk tsk… looks like he’s about to go mad too.”
Meng Xiaodong fell silent upon hearing this, “Did you look at the tombstone on that grave?”
“Tombstone?” The old man was stunned, “Didn’t see the tombstone.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Xiaodong immediately understood the situation.
She smiled and did not point it out.
Seeing Meng Xiaodong’s expression, the old man stroked his chin, “Could it be that the grave originally had a tombstone, and the name on the tombstone was mine?”
“No wonder that old guy was cursing at that grave, I thought his enemy was lying inside.”
“Fine, turns out it was me.”
Meng Xiaodong chuckled, did not respond, and continued sewing the long gown in her hands.
