Chapter 16: The Ghost That Disappears When Attacked
Only to see within the dim corridor.
A person whose whole body was emitting coldness and a strong corpse stench, with a deathly pale face, was circling in place.
The more he turned, the more terrified and despairing his expression became.
And behind him, there was always a woman in white clothes with disheveled hair, barefoot and bleeding.
The woman’s face could not be seen clearly, but her whole body was emitting a strange chill.
It’s a ghost!
Lin Qian saw it very clearly; the ghost did not attack the other party entirely because the fierce ghost on the other party was blocking the approach of the fierce ghost.
This situation was very eerie.
Logically speaking, with the ghost right in front of him, there was no reason not to attack the other party.
Unless the other party had not triggered the killing pattern.
But earlier downstairs, Wu Xun had been directly attacked.
If it weren’t for him, Wu Xun might already be dead.
Lin Qian did not dare to hesitate; if Liu Lin died, he would be in big trouble.
The attack arrived in an instant.
The woman suddenly turned her head, her head twisting into a eerie pose, and a pair of lifeless eyes turned to look at him.
Immediately, a wave of coldness assaulted him.
Lin Qian’s heart tightened; he had triggered the other party’s killing pattern.
Supernatural descended upon him.
The fierce ghost inside his body hurriedly resisted passively.
But this was not over yet; above his head, a pale hand quietly appeared and suddenly reached for his head.
Lin Qian felt a chill run down his spine; the ghost eye turned, and the attack launched again.
The arm shrank back instantly as if it had touched boiling oil.
And that woman abruptly disappeared at that moment.
The moment the woman disappeared, Liu Lin woke up as if from a dream and only then realized.
He hurriedly stopped using the fierce ghost’s ability.
If he kept using it, he would die!
Lin Qian pulled Wu Xun and quickly came to Liu Lin’s side.
Feeling the coldness on Liu Lin, Lin Qian’s mood was heavy.
The other party was close to fierce ghost revival.
With a thud, Liu Lin knelt on the ground, his expression twisted in pain.
The fierce ghost inside his body was restless; Liu Lin’s skin was surging, as if something terrifying was wriggling and struggling beneath it.
Giving the impression that it would drill out the next moment.
Lin Qian’s eyes turned, staring at Liu Lin.
After looking carefully for a while, Lin Qian breathed a sigh of relief; the other party could still live and would not die for the time being.
Fortunately, he wouldn’t die, or he would have to control another ghost.
The killing pattern of that ghost just now must be very strange.
Why was Liu Lin followed by the ghost circling, yet not attacked?
And he was just coming over to take a look, and the other party directly attacked.
Moreover, there was something wrong with this ghost.
After being attacked once, it would directly disappear.
It would not engage in a deadly supernatural confrontation with him at all.
If it weren’t for encountering this kind of ghost inside the ghost domain, this would be a good thing.
But this was inside the ghost domain.
If the other party disappeared after being attacked, he would not be able to detain the other party at all.
This eerie killing pattern could completely wear them all to death.
After a few minutes, the supernatural on Liu Lin gradually calmed down.
He looked up at Lin Qian, “Th-thank you.”
Looking at Liu Lin with his deathly numb expression.
This person, even if he got out alive today, was not far from death.
“What is your fierce ghost’s killing pattern? Why was that ghost always behind you but did not attack you?”
Lin Qian asked, looking down at him.
“What? The ghost was always behind me?” Liu Lin’s pupils shrank sharply, his face full of shock.
“You didn’t know?”
Liu Lin swallowed, shaking his head with a face full of lingering fear, “I only knew I was trapped in a ghost wall, but I didn’t know the ghost was always behind me.”
Hearing this, Lin Qian felt strange inside, “If you didn’t know the ghost was behind you, why did you use supernatural?”
Hearing this question, Liu Lin was silent for a while, then gave a bitter laugh, “My ghost’s killing pattern is that when there is a ghost around, it automatically enters a hidden state.”
“In other words, when a ghost appears nearby, my ghost will activate its killing pattern on its own and enter a hidden state.”
“In this state, the ghost cannot detect me, so it cannot attack me.”
Liu Lin paused, then stood up, “Normally, if the ghost cannot detect me, it will leave on its own, but this ghost did not; instead, it kept following behind me, which means I had already triggered the ghost’s killing pattern.”
“But because it couldn’t detect me, it couldn’t attack me.”
Liu Lin quickly calmed himself down.
As an International Police detective, though his strength was lacking, he still had the necessary calmness.
He was, after all, a ghost controller who had come out of headquarters special training.
“Thank you; if you hadn’t come, I might already be dead.” Liu Lin looked at Lin Qian with some complex emotions.
Lin Qian did not speak, “Wu Xun and I together have been attacked twice, but I still haven’t figured out this ghost’s killing pattern.”
“But there is one strange thing: this ghost disappears directly after being attacked.”
“Disappears after being attacked?” Liu Lin’s face immediately turned grim.
How could they detain it like this?
He had originally thought that with three ghost controllers gathered, they could at least try to detain it.
He had even imagined that Lin Qian alone could handle this ghost.
But now, it seemed they might all die here.
“President Lin, I didn’t bring my satellite positioning mobile phone, so I can’t notify headquarters.” Liu Lin delivered bad news.
A pair of eerie eyes suddenly stared at Liu Lin.
“Didn’t bring it?”
Liu Lin was somewhat silent and did not speak.
After all, by regulation, International Police detectives must carry their satellite positioning mobile phone at all times.
He was already derelict in his duty; if pursued, he would not get off lightly.
“Although I didn’t bring it, if headquarters can’t contact me, it means something has happened, and this supernatural event will soon be noticed by headquarters. Support will arrive soon.”
Liu Lin said.
Lin Qian chuckled and directly took these words as fart.
Wait for support?
By the time support arrived, they might already have started fierce ghost revival and killing.
“President, should we find a place to hide?” Wu Xun, who had not spoken, looked at Lin Qian with worry.
“This ghost is very eerie; we might really not be able to handle it.”
Hearing this, Liu Lin sneered, “Hide from a ghost inside a ghost domain? Do you think that joke is funny?”
“Inside a ghost domain, it’s the ghost’s territory; the ghost can find you anytime, even if you haven’t triggered its killing pattern.”
“Ghosts without ghost domains kill only those who trigger the killing pattern, but ghosts inside ghost domains are different.”
“In a ghost domain, the ghost won’t stop until everyone inside is dead.”
Wu Xun’s face immediately turned embarrassed, but his heart grew even more fearful.
Lin Qian did not speak; this was a fact.
Ghosts do not only kill those who trigger the killing pattern.
Touching them would also result in an attack.
If ghosts were really that easy to hide from, mysterious revival wouldn’t be so hopeless.
But now was not the time to say that; Lin Qian looked toward the place where he had just been eating.
He quickly came to the doorway.
“Lin Qian, what do you want to do?”
Wu Xun and Liu Lin hurriedly followed and came behind Lin Qian.
“See if the people inside are dead or alive.”
Hearing this, Liu Lin shook his head, “They’re all dead.”
“Then let’s look at the corpses.”
Lin Qian directly pushed open the door, and immediately a strong corpse stench rushed out.
Lin Qian’s expression unchanged, Liu Lin numb, Wu Xun covering his nose.
Only to see.
