Chapter 128: Ye Zhen: No, I Don’t Believe It!
“What!”
Ye Zhen suddenly stood up, looking at Lin Qian in disbelief, “You have a Golden Ghost Domain?!!”
“How is that possible!”
“How can you have a Golden Ghost Domain!!!”
Lin Qian dug in his ear, “I don’t have a Golden Ghost Domain.”
“What?”
Ye Zhen quickly calmed down, he swallowed, “You don’t have it, that’s good, that’s good.”
“No!”
Ye Zhen quickly reacted, “You know who has a Golden Ghost Domain?”
“Or, you know where the ghost that possesses the Golden Ghost Domain is?”
“Tell me quickly, as long as you tell me, I’ll agree to anything you want!”
Ye Zhen at this moment was like a child who wanted a toy, very anxious and full of expectation.
Lin Qian glanced at Ye Zhen, “I’m just asking.”
“No, you definitely know, otherwise you wouldn’t say it.” Ye Zhen didn’t believe it at all.
Lin Qian was definitely not the type of person to speak without basis.
Ye Zhen squatted down, grabbed Lin Qian’s arm, “Lin Qian, seriously, where is the Golden Ghost Domain, how to obtain it.”
Lin Qian pushed Ye Zhen’s hand away, looking at Ye Zhen’s serious expression, “I really was just saying it casually.”
“Besides, how could a Golden Ghost Domain possibly exist, you should think about it.”
“No, since you said it, it definitely exists.”
Ye Zhen completely didn’t believe it.
“Really.” Lin Qian said helplessly.
Ye Zhen shook his head, “Impossible.”
Lin Qian: “…”
He shouldn’t have mentioned this.
At this moment, under the sunshade.
Yang Jian stared at Wang Xiao Ming, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.
Wang Xiao Ming looked at the sky: “Humans are actually very simple, not complicated, the instinct to maintain bodily functions, plus self-thought, and a bit of incomprehensible emotion, and ghosts are also not complicated, breaking through the supernatural terror itself, they are actually not much different from us.”
“If there’s a single difference, it’s probably that they lack emotion and self-thought, existing in this world in a simple yet eerie way, even existing in our concepts.”
“The reason using the Ghost Coffin for Fierce Ghost Transformation fails is because the successful ones lose their emotions, without emotions, the instincts of the fierce ghost gradually take over, devouring self-consciousness, and finally, what do you think is left?”
After speaking, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Yang Jian.
“Ghost.” Yang Jian said coldly.
He was facing this situation, the Faceless Ghost Shadow’s instinct was influencing his thoughts, once it engulfed his consciousness, although Yang Jian wouldn’t have Fierce Ghost Revival, it would be no different from Fierce Ghost Revival, at that time he would no longer be human, but also a ghost.
“That’s right, after the experiment succeeded, I didn’t cultivate a person with Fierce Ghost Transformation as planned, but simply incubated a ghost, brand new, possessing certain human characteristics, a more terrifying and eerie ghost, that coffin wasn’t prepared for people, it was prepared for ghosts, that was a coffin for incubating ghosts.”
Wang Xiao Ming’s expression was somewhat downcast, as if this experiment’s failure had dealt him a heavy blow.
Yang Jian heard the terror of that experiment from his words.
“Looks like I found the wrong person, your experiment failed, it made me understand this path is unworkable.” Moments later, he stood up, deciding to leave.
Since Wang Xiao Ming’s experiment could only incubate ghosts and couldn’t solve his own problems, Yang Jian thought there was no need to continue talking with him.
He probably shouldn’t have come to ask Wang Xiao Ming, he should go ask his own president.
After all, his own president seemed to be a researcher too.
Moreover, Wang Xiao Ming seemed to be scheming something against him.
“Although the experiment failed, I can solve your problem.” Suddenly, Wang Xiao Ming spoke again.
“You’re lying to me?” Yang Jian stared at him.
Wang Xiao Ming looked at his palm: “That suicide video you gave me last time gave me a lot of inspiration, it’s a new method of controlling fierce ghosts, very extreme, but also very effective, I later tried analyzing the purpose of your suicide, and finally reached a conclusion, you weren’t actually committing suicide, it was a necessary ritual, and the purpose of this ritual was to actively trigger the killing pattern between fierce ghosts, making originally unrelated fierce ghosts collide because of your existence.”
“The purpose of doing this has only two results, you die, the ritual fails.”
“You survive, the two conflicting ghosts likely crash like a program, falling into a kind of sleep state that can’t be easily awakened.”
“A ghost controller in this state, if still alive, must be very terrifying, because the fierce ghost is asleep, meaning no need to worry about revival, the ghost controller can use the fierce ghost’s abilities without restraint, afterwards I closely monitored your existence, confirming my guess was correct.”
Wang Xiao Ming slightly raised his head looking at him: “You’ve been frequently using fierce ghost abilities recently, with no signs of Fierce Ghost Revival, something impossible for someone controlling two ghosts, even when you’re traveling you used fierce ghost abilities, such squandering is simply luxurious.”
“So, the successfully revived you either has one ghost in your body asleep as I thought, or your brain has gone crazy, eager to have Fierce Ghost Revival and die soon, but I think your brain is still normal, so excluding the least likely answer, the remaining result is obvious.”
Yang Jian’s face was calm, unmoved.
“You’re not surprised, right? Because you left that video for me to see, you weren’t sure if you’d succeed when you suicided, but this method of controlling fierce ghosts was worth researching, so that video was specially prepared for me, thanks for that, you did better than I imagined.”
“You’ve said so much, what’s your purpose?” Yang Jian said: “Beating around the bush isn’t your style, Bruce Pi.”
“I also know about the transaction between Headquarters Circle of Friends and our president.”
“The ghost the president gave you is dormant, his ghost should logically have more research value.”
“Could it be, you didn’t research anything useful from it?”
Wang Xiao Ming shook his head upon hearing this, “No research value at all.”
“The ghost obtained from Lin Qian is completely a ghost that anyone can use casually.”
“The ghost is dormant, anyone can take it and use it, no risks.”
“I can’t research anything useful from it.”
“Compared to Lin Qian’s ghost, the inspiration you gave me is greater.”
There was no way around it, after all, Yang Jian provided the process, letting him see the process, then get the result.
While Lin Qian directly placed the result in front of him.
His current research on ghosts wasn’t deep enough to reverse-engineer the result Lin Qian provided.
So, he set his target on Yang Jian.
To be precise, on the thing that gave Yang Jian the method.
He wasn’t without asking Lin Qian, but Lin Qian never said.
Of course, he knew how could such a thing be said directly?
Yang Jian suddenly realized, so he couldn’t research any useful results.
Wang Xiao Ming looked at Yang Jian: “Then, let’s make a transaction, I need ‘it’, as chips, I’ll immediately formulate a plan for you using a new method to solve your current problem, and at the same time, this thing is yours.”
He took out a pitch-black, diamond-shaped pointed cone thing from behind the stool under his feet.
It was a bit like a big nail, but it gave Yang Jian a strangely familiar feeling.
That rusty coffin nail.
“What is this?” Yang Jian asked.
Wang Xiao Ming said: “You’ve seen it, the ghost incubating in the Ghost Coffin, although the experiment failed, there was still some harvest, I used your method to make this thing crash, and had Li Jun help shape it into a form you’re more familiar with, a shape that doesn’t easily cause fear.”
“This thing, doesn’t it look like a coffin nail?”
“What?” Yang Jian was shocked at this moment.
That ghost was made into this nail by Wang Xiao Ming?
“Don’t be nervous, it’s very stable, at least for now, you know its characteristic, this ghost can brainlessly invalidate the abilities of three ghosts, if ignoring a bit of side effect, its value equals that coffin nail.” Wang Xiao Ming said.
Yang Jian’s mood was very complex now, many pieces of information exploded in his mind, because of Wang Xiao Ming’s existence some eerie puzzles were solved.
If the ghost in the Ghost Coffin crashed and was made into this nail, then doesn’t that mean the nail that nailed the Starving Ghost back then was once also a ghost?
A ghost of unknown level, but already in a crashed state.
So, only ghosts can deal with ghosts, this statement was always correct.
But an even bigger mystery appeared.
If the coffin nail is a ghost, then who made this thing?
Are the essences of other supernatural items also ghosts?
But if ghosts crash and are made into such special items, then what about Human Skin Paper, Ghost Cabinet, these supernatural things that almost possess wisdom?
Under the sunshade.
Wang Xiao Ming sat there motionlessly, on the table in front of him was placed a pitch-black, diamond-shaped cone.
As for Yang Jian, he left.
“He refused?” Li Jun suddenly appeared beside him.
Wang Xiao Ming said: “He will agree, he just needs a little time, and I like dealing with people who refuse me, because while refusing you, they understand in their heart what price they have to pay, and what consequences it will bring, such people who can clearly realize themselves are often more trustworthy than those who impulsively rush for a bit of interest.”
“Now we just wait, I’ve already given him a subtle reminder, he probably won’t dare use that thing’s plan anymore, without his last trump card, the only thing he can do is transact with me, and my chips are high enough.”
“Let’s go, there are more important things to handle, put Yang Jian aside for now, let him get through the seven days of training first.” Wang Xiao Ming stood up and said.
“…”
“Ye Zhen, how many times do I have to say before you’ll believe me?”
Lin Qian walked on the street, Ye Zhen stubbornly following beside him.
“Impossible, since you said it, the Golden Ghost Domain definitely exists.”
“What do I need to pay, anything, as long as Ye can do it, Ye will do it even if it kills him!”
Ye Zhen was serious from beginning to end.
Lin Qian scratched his hair, “Alright, when I have clues about the Golden Ghost Domain, I’ll tell you, how about that?”
“No, you definitely know, I can confirm that.”
Ye Zhen shook his head.
“Then what do you want.”
Ye Zhen: “I want the Golden Ghost Domain now.”
Lin Qian: “…”
Lin Qian really wanted to slap himself.
Why did he talk too much!
He really didn’t expect the Golden Ghost Domain to attract Ye Zhen so much.
“You want shit, if there was a Golden Ghost Domain, I’d have taken it myself!”
“No, the Golden Ghost Domain can only be mine!” Ye Zhen said very seriously.
You fucking…
Lin Qian was speechless, he didn’t speak, just walked towards the training base.
He was going to practice shooting, to vent.
At this moment.
Yang Jian walked alone on the road to the training base.
His thoughts were very complex.
Because Wang Xiao Ming already knew about the existence of Human Skin Paper, although Wang Xiao Ming hadn’t seen Human Skin Paper, it didn’t stop this guy from guessing it, after all, his last suicide by hanging gave him enough information.
“He wants Human Skin Paper because the Ghost Coffin research failed, he must find another method of controlling fierce ghosts, and my success case gave him enough confidence, he thinks my way is correct, and that terrifying existence that can brainlessly suppress three ghosts’ abilities was also successfully broken by Wang Xiao Ming, directly crashed, turned into a coffin nail.”
Yang Jian’s gaze shifted slightly.
So, should he transact with him or not?
He knew very well the special nature of Human Skin Paper, and recently the plan it gave to revive Tong Qian had already shown terrifying traps.
If back then he hadn’t accidentally discovered Tong Qian’s identity was a ghost, then the crying face and smiling face would have switched to the ghost, been perfectly controlled by that ghost, and finally led to a team wipe.
Even thinking about it now, Yang Jian felt some lingering fear.
So, some of Wang Xiao Ming’s words weren’t wrong, Human Skin Paper’s plans were no longer trustworthy.
Although the plans were correct, they hid some undetectable traps, Yang Jian didn’t dare bet that next time he’d be as lucky to see through Human Skin Paper’s traps and successfully survive.
But even if next time succeeded, what about the time after?
As long as Human Skin Paper’s trap in the plan succeeded once, Yang Jian was done for.
“Can’t afford to gamble, all-in every time, sooner or later one time total loss, even life gone.” He helplessly shook his head.
In fact.
Yang Jian had another backup plan. Besides Human Skin Paper, he also had something else like Ghost Cabinet.
If using two conditions to exchange for Ghost Cabinet’s help, he could also solve his own problem.
It just required paying a clear price, but no transaction traps, just whether you could fulfill Ghost Cabinet’s requirements.
But no traps in the transaction process, what about the results after the transaction?
Once Ghost Cabinet used Yang Jian to complete all its purposes, what consequences that would bring, no one could predict.
“Human Skin Paper or Ghost Cabinet, neither is good, one slip and you’re done, dealing with ghosts isn’t that easy.” Yang Jian sighed, revealing utter helplessness.
This helplessness was like light swallowed by darkness, letting you see no path of hope to survive.
And every ghost controller was like Yang Jian, fumbling forward in this darkness, traveling with fierce ghosts, one wrong step eternal damnation.
“Young person, don’t sigh all day, be more positive, this world still has many good things waiting for you.” At this time, a familiar voice rang out, it was Zhao Jianguo, who came striding from behind, a smile on his face.
Yang Jian was a bit surprised: “Weren’t you executed by firing squad?”
“…?” Zhao Jianguo’s smile instantly stiffened.
How does this kid talk?
If the other wasn’t a ghost controller, he’d definitely get his legs broken.
Too offensive.
“Disappointed you, I was just fired, currently working at the training base, responsible for receiving you all.” Zhao Jianguo said.
“So you went from headquarters communications department captain to waiter, pretty miserable, used to serving tea, pouring water, running errands? How’s the salary? Enough for gas?” Yang Jian fired off a series of questions.
“…”
Zhao Jianguo wasn’t annoyed, chuckled: “Not bad, getting by, pretty idle, nothing to do just read the newspaper.”
“Reading the newspaper and there’ll still be trouble.” Yang Jian said.
“Although your temper isn’t likable, seeing you alive honestly makes me pretty happy, how about it? Seen Liu Xiao Yu?” Zhao Jianguo asked.
Yang Jian said: “That shorty who likes dressing as a loli?”
“Don’t young people all like that style?” Zhao Jianguo said.
“Do you think my life still has room for ‘like’?” Yang Jian glanced at Zhao Jianguo.
Zhao Jianguo smiled: “Can try, at worst make a friend, she cares about you quite a bit.”
“Many people care about me, but not that kind of care, all about whether I’m dead or not.” Yang Jian didn’t care.
“Forget it, not talking about that, us half-retired can’t manage you young people’s affairs, you took the wrong road, first day’s training is over there, you really should listen to the first lesson, very enlightening for you, at least can eliminate some fear of ghosts.” Zhao Jianguo pointed to the right, and led the way ahead: “Follow me, I’ll take you.”
“No math, Chinese, English and such, right?” Yang Jian hesitated a bit and asked.
“No, just treat it as listening to stories, very relaxing.” Zhao Jianguo said.
Speaking of, Circle of Friends.
“Has Ye Zhen left?”
Fang Shiming looked at a document, asked.
Li Yao: “No, still following President Lin.”
“Right now, President Lin is very annoyed.”
Fang Shiming was stunned, “He’s annoyed at Ye Zhen too?”
Li Yao was somewhat amused, “President Lin mentioned the Golden Ghost Domain to Ye Zhen, then Ye Zhen clung to President Lin.”
“No matter what, Ye Zhen doesn’t believe President Lin doesn’t know clues about the Golden Ghost Domain.”
Fang Shiming stroked his chin, “Golden Ghost Domain?”
“For that chuunibyou, this thing has fatal attraction.”
“Lin Qian’s in big trouble.”
Fang Shiming shook his head, he knew, unless Ye Zhen got what he wanted, Lin Qian wouldn’t have peaceful days.
After all, since Lin Qian mentioned it, it definitely exists.
He also believed in the existence of the Golden Ghost Domain.
After all, since his debut, Lin Qian has been extremely honest in his dealings.
