Chapter 139: People Abandoned By The Era
Inside the real ancient town.
“Earlier than expected.”
He Liansheng slightly narrowed his eyes, standing in the middle of Ghost Lake at this moment.
Yin coldness accompanied the mist floating over Ghost Lake.
Corpses, unknown whether ghosts or dead people, bobbed up and down on the lake surface.
The corpses floated face down, faintly visible in the mist.
Extremely eerie.
“Came at a good time.”
“Yin Er, we three old folks trading for you alone isn’t bad either.”
“Of course, we might not necessarily lose.”
He Liansheng revealed a smile, looking toward the eight people stepping into the ancient town.
“Young and promising.”
“How long has it been?”
“Already gathered so many terrifying ghost controllers.”
He Liansheng had to admit, Lin Qian had something, and it was something big.
Ordinary ghost controllers wouldn’t have such means.
A person like this, in any era, should stand at the peak of that era.
He Liansheng smiled, “We might not lose, and you might not win either.”
A true fifty-fifty situation.
But getting him to surrender like this was impossible.
His closed eye slowly opened, the eerie green pupil flickering with strange light.
Behind him, eerie figures slowly began to appear.
Ancient town.
“This is just an ordinary ancient town, the place we’re going to seems to be hidden.”
Xu Zhou glanced at the ancient town, his ghost domain had already swept over it.
Nothing abnormal.
But this lack of abnormality was the biggest abnormality.
The real Taiping Ancient Town, where Ghost Lake was, was definitely hidden.
“Very normal.”
Lin Qian was quite calm; if they entered directly, that would be problematic.
“President, that place…”
Suddenly, Ye Feng looked ahead.
Lin Qian sensed it too.
The others did as well.
“Go check it out.”
In the depths of the ancient town, something eerie suddenly appeared.
They sensed it first.
Just like sensing kin around them.
Several people quickly headed toward that place.
Soon, they found the suspicious spot.
It was a street, a somewhat dim street.
The street was empty, no shops on either side.
“This is…”
Xu Zhou slightly narrowed his eyes.
“Ghost Street.”
Lin Qian recognized the place at a glance.
“Before Taiping Ancient Town was sealed, ordinary people would occasionally wander into this street.”
“The things sold inside were all supernatural items, or directly ghosts.”
“Now, this street has appeared, but no one is selling items.”
Hearing this, several people pondered.
Li Jun’s gaze was icy cold, “If ordinary people buy supernatural items, what happens?”
Lin Qian: “Transactions on Ghost Street, money and goods clear.”
“You give money, they sell to you.”
“But the money here is never RMB.”
“But ordinary people only give RMB.”
“But deals require payment; no money, then what?”
“Of course, life.”
Lin Qian’s gaze flickered, “The more conscientious ones wait for you to get killed by the ghost back home, then take the ghost back.”
“The unscrupulous ones kill you before you leave, then take the ghost back.”
Li Jun’s face darkened, “Then why sell to ordinary people?”
Lin Qian shrugged, “I don’t know either.”
Li Jun snorted coldly, “A harmful place like this shouldn’t exist.”
“Indeed.” Ye Feng and Yan Li nodded.
A place like this really shouldn’t exist.
Selling supernatural items or ghosts to ordinary people—if it leaks out carelessly, it will inevitably cause supernatural events.
The others had varying feelings about this place.
Wang Xiaoqiang wasn’t concerned with Ghost Street harming people.
Rather, supernatural items and ghosts.
After winning, everything in Taiping Ancient Town would be theirs.
Then, they could improve their strength again.
Mm, pretty good.
Lin Qian led the way into Ghost Street.
Xu Zhou wanted to stop him, but thought about it—the president’s strength was the strongest among them.
Walking in front or behind made no difference.
The group entered Ghost Street.
Immediately, Ghost Street changed.
Mist appeared.
Several people became vigilant.
But they didn’t stop.
Continued walking forward.
This mist was very yin cold.
Wang Xiaoqiang rubbed his fingers; this thing was a manifestation of the supernatural.
The further they went, the denser the mist.
Their visibility visibly dropped to about one meter.
This mist was off.
“Ghosts around.” Zhao Bai suddenly said.
Hearing this, the others slightly narrowed their eyes, “What position.”
Yan Li asked.
“Ahead, several of them!” Zhao Bai pointed ahead.
And at that moment, dull footsteps suddenly sounded from ahead.
The moment the footsteps rang out, they spread to the surroundings, all directions.
As if the surroundings were full of people.
The scene was extremely eerie; others might have panicked long ago.
But they.
Several people exchanged glances.
Zhao Bai looked at them, “Give me face, let me handle it.”
“Five seconds for me.” Ye Feng said.
“Four seconds for me.” Yan Li quickly spoke.
Xu Zhou raised three fingers, “Three seconds.”
Zhao Bai immediately panicked, “Two seconds, I only need two seconds!”
“President, let me handle it!”
Zhao Bai quickly looked at Lin Qian.
Lin Qian looked at them, “What are you competing over?”
Thud~!
A dull sound suddenly rang out in the mist.
Immediately after, the mist eerily dissipated.
Zhao Bai was stunned.
The others fell silent.
They looked ahead; as the mist receded, several corpses lay on the ground, and they all turned to Lin Qian.
Except for Li Jun, the others now had opinions.
“President, how could you handle it personally?”
Zhao Bai clutched his chest, saying heartbrokenly.
Ye Feng and the others nodded in deep agreement.
Lin Qian was somewhat baffled, “You were arguing and too slow; I only needed less than a second to handle them all.”
Zhao Bai: “…”
Zhao Bai immediately wilted like a deflated eggplant, listless.
“President, no love left, feelings faded…”
Lin Qian: “…”
Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head, looking at Lu Lin.
Lu Lin nodded, stepped forward, and using some ability, several fierce ghosts directly disappeared.
“I can temporarily store up to fifteen ghosts at most; more, and it won’t fit.”
Lu Lin said.
“About that; no need to store later ones, handle them together after settling.”
Wang Xiaoqiang said.
With the mist gone and fierce ghosts dealt with, several people continued forward.
But their speed increased a bit.
Clearly, the opponent already knew they were coming.
With a summoner on the opponent’s side, the more time they wasted, the more dangerous.
Soon, they exited Ghost Street.
Exiting Ghost Street, they immediately arrived at the doorway of an ancient town.
Dim, damp, sky always pitch black.
In front of the ancient town, two pallid lanterns hung.
An offering character on the lantern glowed red.
This offering character seemed freshly written, still dripping ink.
The scene looked somewhat sinister and eerie.
And below the lanterns stood two strange people.
One tall and thin faceless person.
One old woman carrying a wooden basket, somewhat hunched.
“Little beast, you sure are lucky; even the Ghost Opera Stage couldn’t kill you.”
The opponent seemed to know Lin Qian, greeting him affectionately right away.
Several people’s faces darkened instantly.
“Old beast, at your age, mouth like it ate shit—how about it, lived this long, waiting in the outhouse for meals all day?”
Zhao Bai couldn’t hold back and stepped forward immediately.
Hearing this, several people looked at Zhao Bai, thumbs up involuntarily.
This insult was spot on.
The old woman’s face darkened, “Ill-mannered beast.”
“Can’t compare to your polite beast.” Zhao Bai said.
The old man chuckled coldly, staring deadly at Zhao Bai.
Zhao Bai looked at the old woman, gaze icy cold—today, if he didn’t win her down to her panties, he wouldn’t deserve the name gambling ghost!
Lin Qian ignored the old woman’s insults, looking at Li Jun and Wang Xiaoqiang.
The two nodded, so Lin Qian directly opened his ghost domain, heading straight to the depths of the ancient town.
“Want to leave?”
The faceless person shouted coldly, just about to block, but the next moment, he was stared at by a eerie chilling eye.
Immediately, his supernatural was interrupted.
“How, five of us stay to play with you, still not satisfied?”
Xu Zhou slightly narrowed his eyes, “Or, you don’t take us seriously?”
Xu Zhou, Lu Lin, Zhao Bai, Yan Li, Ye Feng—five people looked at these two.
Five against two, odds in their favor no matter what.
“Damn, brothers, I’m going first.”
Zhao Bai stepped out, gaze fixed on the old woman.
Next moment, the two instantly vanished from the spot.
Faceless person stunned—what’s the situation?
Ghost domain?
No, not ghost domain.
A special supernatural ability.
Yan Li and Ye Feng: “…”
“This dog thing went alone?”
The two looked at Xu Zhou and Lu Lin.
Xu Zhou and Lu Lin said nothing, silently walking toward the faceless person.
“Yan Li, they’re not speaking, means they need our help.” Ye Feng said seriously.
Yan Li nodded.
“I think so too.”
“Cut it out.” Lu Lin turned back to them, “Stay put honestly; only act if you sense we can’t handle it.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng and Yan Li exchanged glances, then chuckled.
“Got it, no problem!”
Xu Zhou sighed, “Quick battle, quick decision.”
Lu Lin was also helpless.
Thus, the two instantly went all out.
Faceless person’s heart sank; by the time he reacted, an eye on Lu Lin opened.
Immediately after, the faceless person found he couldn’t move.
Interesting; faceless person’s supernatural emerged, a human face appeared on his face.
Then, he grabbed Xu Zhou charging at him.
Lu Lin was surprised; this guy could still move.
He was a ghost controller who spliced ten A-grade fierce ghosts into one to control.
Terror level went without saying.
No, not resisting the attack, but evading it.
Or, bearing it.
This guy was done.
Watching the faceless person grab Xu Zhou’s arm, Lu Lin shook his head.
Xu Zhou revealed a smile, “Good.”
Next moment, faceless person startled, tried to pull back his arm, but in terror found it stuck tight.
Couldn’t pull out.
Then, a terrifying scene: faceless person’s hand eerily melted into Xu Zhou’s arm.
Xu Zhou’s free hand grabbed the faceless person’s neck.
“You got careless.”
Faceless person widened his eyes, the face on his face constantly changing.
Supernatural outburst, but couldn’t break free from Xu Zhou’s arm.
“How can this era have someone like you!” Faceless person said incredulously.
Xu Zhou sneered, said nothing.
His second ghost started at B-grade level when controlled.
But guided by that notebook, he gradually completed the second ghost’s puzzle piece.
At the same time, he gained that ghost’s true ability.
Ghost melting.
So after completing the puzzle, that ghost’s terror level was already S-grade, not to mention later ghost melting.
“Done, no chance to act.”
Watching the faceless person already starting to merge into Xu Zhou’s body.
The two who knew Xu Zhou’s ability immediately understood—the faceless person was gone.
Not even the ghost left.
Sigh…
Yan Li sighed.
“If I acted, it’d be direct suppression too.” Yan Li said listlessly.
“All Zhao Bai’s fault!” Ye Feng said resentfully.
Yan Li: “Right!”
At this moment.
Inside a eerie space.
The room was dim.
Fierce ghost heads hung from the rooftop.
A eerie green oil lamp hung among the heads.
Below, at an old, dirty gambling table, sat an old and a young.
On the gambling table, a deck of poker cards entirely made from fierce ghost bones lay quietly.
Zhao Bai crossed his legs, looking at the frowning old man opposite.
He tapped the table; the poker cards on it eerily moved.
The poker cards floated up, then shuffled themselves, as if invisible hands were shuffling.
Two decks were dealt.
Three cards each.
Zhao Bai looked at the old man.
Then pointed at the hanging heads above, “These are all ghosts, all my stakes.”
“If you can’t provide stakes, whatever I put out, you must too.”
“For example, if I put out a head, you must put out a head.”
Old woman face darkened.
From his words, she had guessed the current situation.
Ghost gambling game.
She tried to break free, but soon found she could only use her own supernatural, not the death robes’.
What did this mean?
It meant this young person opposite had supernatural at least equal to hers, or higher.
She glanced at the heads hanging above.
At a glance, forty or fifty.
All these ghosts?
Old woman uncertain and shocked.
“Reveal cards.”
Zhao Bai confident, revealed first—three aces.
Old woman face sank, “You cheated!”
“Oh?”
“You know the rules?”
“Looks like you do.”
Zhao Bai smiled.
“After I reveal, you have five seconds to reveal; overtime, automatic loss.”
Old woman looked at the Bone Poker cards.
Stared coldly at Zhao Bai, then reached to flip.
The moment she touched the poker card, her hand suddenly stung sharply; she instinctively pulled back.
“Oh, look at my memory—forgot to tell you, flipping cards triggers supernatural attack, and it stacks oh?”
Old woman face uglier.
Looking at the eerie corpse spots on her hand, she deep-breathed, directly flipped the poker cards.
8, 9, 2, different suits.
Old woman stared deadly at Zhao Bai.
Zhao Bai smiled, “Looks like your luck isn’t good; pay the stake.”
“Otherwise, you lose your head this round.”
Old woman clenched her fist, gritted teeth, took a death robe from the basket and tossed it on the table.
Seeing this, Zhao Bai laughed.
