Chapter 164: The Most Troublesome Incident
“You think you can kill me?”
Two beings with the same supernatural ability faced each other.
No, perhaps it’s not that they possessed the same supernatural ability.
Lin Qian noticed that the opponent’s arm was not withered like his own.
Clearly, the opponent was not exactly the same as him.
As expected, to this day, no ghost has been able to imitate that person’s supernatural ability.
Well, Bai Shui Town is an exception.
The opponent was very confident.
Lin Qian’s eyes moved slightly, “Although I don’t understand where your confidence comes from, we can try.”
Fake Lin Qian grinned, “You’ll know soon enough.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding environment instantly changed.
A chill appeared.
Lin Qian squinted slightly, and the fake in his eyes disappeared.
Ghost Domain.
A Ghost Domain identical to his.
He knew perfectly well what would appear within his own Ghost Domain.
As expected, a strong wind suddenly swept through the sky.
Immediately after, heavy snow began to fall.
If nothing unexpected happened, each snowflake would contain his entire supernatural ability, excluding the ghost the opponent did not have.
Even the supernatural ability of a Ghost Messenger.
This also meant that as soon as the snow fell and he touched it, with the current number of fierce ghosts within him, he would be instantly suppressed.
Each snowflake contained the abilities of all his fierce ghosts, including plunder.
Lin Qian grinned, “A fake is still a fake; in the end, they don’t understand the meaning behind what I created.”
If the opponent isn’t killed instantly, no matter how bizarre the method, there’s a possibility of a comeback.
“My Ghost Domain is suppressed, so yours will be useful to me.”
The next moment, the fake reappeared.
And the wind and snow began to fall at that moment.
“Did you forcibly plunder my Ghost Domain?”
“Interesting.”
As the wind and snow fell, the fake remained calm, even showing a strange smile, “I lost the moment we met, but only this time.”
The opponent’s supernatural ability was instantly suppressed, and he was attacked by terrifying supernatural abilities.
The next moment, his body began to melt, eventually turning into a black shadow, then evaporating into black mist and disappearing.
As the fake died, the Ghost Domain instantly shattered.
“Strange, it can actually be killed.”
Lin Qian turned his head and looked in Ye Zhen’s direction.
At that moment, Ye Zhen was choking the fake by the neck, tilting his head slightly, “With this little strength, you dare to impersonate me?”
Fake Ye Zhen smiled, “I’ll be back next time.”
Just like Lin Qian killed his own fake.
Fake Ye Zhen also turned into a shadow at this moment, then evaporated and disappeared.
The fierce ghosts had already begun to kill people.
But no one paid any attention.
At this moment, Fang Shiming walked over, carrying a ‘person’.
“My mirror image has also appeared, but to be honest, its application of supernatural abilities is not outstanding.”
The two looked at the ‘person’ in Fang Shiming’s hand.
It was identical to Fang Shiming, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the person was the opposite of Fang Shiming.
Clothes, features, everything was opposite; if you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t be able to tell.
“Mine is similar; its application of supernatural abilities is very poor.”
Lin Qian said.
Ye Zhen also nodded.
He had easily dealt with his own fake.
“What’s the point of this?”
The person in Fang Shiming’s hand slowly turned into a dark shadow, then evaporated into black mist and disappeared.
“I don’t know.”
Ye Zhen shook his head.
Fang Shiming ignored Ye Zhen and looked around, suddenly feeling something was wrong.
“Why is the sky starting to turn dark blue?”
The two suddenly looked up, their faces sinking.
“How could the Ghost Infant grow so fast?”
It was too late when they realized something was wrong.
The entire sky was enveloped in dark blue smog.
This was a Ghost Domain, a Ghost Domain they were extremely familiar with.
The Ghost Domain of the Starving Ghost.
But the problem was, the Ghost Infant had only crawled out of Zhou Zheng’s belly not long ago.
If the Ghost Infant had grown at this speed back then, Yang Jian would have been long dead, and his corpse would have rotted away.
Oh right, perhaps there wouldn’t have been a corpse left.
“Something is wrong, our trouble is coming.”
The dark blue smog rapidly engulfed the entire sky.
The surrounding environment visibly grew darker.
Liu Ping quickly ran out of the teaching building.
“Those students seem to have been possessed by Zhou Zheng; they’re all giving birth!”
As soon as Liu Ping said this, the faces of the three changed.
Without hesitation, the three of them rushed into the teaching building.
Then they witnessed a horrifying scene.
Students were painfully collapsing on the ground.
Their stomachs were greatly distended.
Some students had been normal at first, but in the blink of an eye, their stomachs began to swell.
Riiip~!
Flesh was torn.
The sound of flesh being gnawed upon could be heard.
The few people followed the sound and saw several Ghost Infants, covered in blood, sitting in abdominal cavities, chewing on intestines and organs.
Liu Ping swallowed.
Lin Qian gestured, and the three of them retreated.
The four of them quietly withdrew from the teaching building.
Listening to the wails in their ears, the entire teaching building echoed with desperate screams.
“This is big trouble; the Starving Ghost has grown up.”
Although this Starving Ghost was fake, in this world, it was real.
How terrifying a grown Starving Ghost was, was still unclear.
Fang Shiming had seen a Starving Ghost that ate ghosts.
Yes, it was terrifying.
The screams quickly disappeared within a short period.
It was replaced by an extremely eerie crying sound.
The sound was sharp and chilling.
“What do we do now?”
“I have a bad premonition; the Starving Ghost might just be the beginning.”
Fang Shiming said.
Honestly, he really didn’t want to confront a Starving Ghost, even a fake one.
Lin Qian also had no immediate solution.
At the same time.
In a graveyard.
Countless mirrors were buried in the grave soil.
Tombstones stood in front of each mirror.
The mirrors were half-buried; upon closer inspection, one would find that these mirrors were slowly emerging from the graves.
At this moment.
A blurry figure sat in front of a tombstone.
And around, three mirrors, about to emerge from the grave soil, suddenly formed a vortex on their surfaces.
Immediately after, a hand extended from each of the three mirrors.
Following that, three people emerged from the mirrors.
“Indeed, he is very strong; my application of supernatural abilities is inferior to his.”
“Lin Qian, be careful; the opponent has a ghost that you don’t possess.”
“Ye Zhen, you don’t need to tell me; you too. If you confront it head-on, you will never win.”
“No rush, as long as the attempts are enough, the situation will reverse.”
“Fang Shiming, on the other hand, logically, you should have won on your first try.”
“Oh? Do you think I am very strong, or that he is very weak?”
“Isn’t that the case?” Ye Zhen retorted.
“Alright,” Lin Qian tilted his head slightly and looked at the figure sitting on the tombstone, “Ghost Messenger, it’s best to send it over quickly.”
“For us three to replace him, it’s impossible with just a Starving Ghost.”
The figure tilted its head slightly, making no sound.
Lin Qian didn’t care and turned away, “Let’s go, we’ll try again later.”
The three said no more, and their figures flashed, disappearing from the graveyard.
After the three left, another mirror completely emerged from the grave soil.
As this mirror left the grave soil, a vortex instantly appeared on its surface.
A pale hand reached out from within.
Then, a woman wearing a wedding dress, half red and half white, emerged from it.
As she stepped out, she held a red fan in her hand.
The figure on the tombstone slowly raised a hand.
The woman in the two-colored wedding dress slowly handed the fan to the figure on the tombstone.
After that, the woman’s figure slowly disappeared, but footprints appeared on the ground.
As this strange woman disappeared.
The figure on the tombstone moved slightly, raising a finger, and three blood-red threads, faintly visible, entangled around the finger.
The red threads spread out, their origin faintly connected to the three young people.
However, the red threads were extremely illusory, looking as if they could break at any moment.
Despite their illusory nature, these red threads, like worms, appeared and deeply embedded themselves into the limbs and heads of the three.
The three were completely unaware.
The figure on the tombstone curved its lips slightly.
The red threads receded.
At this moment.
An illusory village suddenly appeared.
The moment the village manifested, it suddenly became solid.
A village entrance archway stood tall, inscribed with three words.
Huang Gang Village.
And the moment the village appeared, it quickly vanished, and then a dense darkness emerged.
Drip, drip, drip~!
Footsteps sounded, and a man in an International Police uniform, with an old hemp rope tied to his waist, walked out of the darkness.
On campus.
The four stood in the sports field.
Footsteps slowly emerged.
The moment the footsteps appeared, the piercing wails also disappeared.
“Starving Ghost.”
Fang Shiming looked around, and faintly, figures began to appear.
Soon, the figures emerged from the darkness; they were people with bruised and purple skin and pitch-black eyes.
These people appeared to be young men, but they were not wearing any clothes.
They were naked.
“Squat!”
Fang Shiming roared.
Ye Zhen and Lin Qian squatted down without hesitation. Liu Ping, unsure of the situation, quickly followed suit.
The next moment, Fang Shiming instantly squatted down.
The moment Fang Shiming squatted down, something terrifying seemed to happen.
Crack crack crack~!
The starving ghosts that emerged from the surroundings seemed to be carrying something extremely heavy.
Their waists snapped, and their internal organs were squeezed out.
One by one, the starving ghosts fell to the ground.
A rotten smell permeated the air.
But soon, mist appeared.
The attacked starving ghosts instantly turned into black-green smog, drifting into the air, and then disappeared.
Fang Shiming stood up and stretched his neck.
Crack crack crack~!
Fang Shiming suddenly knelt down.
The sudden turn of events caught Fang Shiming off guard.
Ye Zhen and Lin Qian reacted instantly.
“Just not vigilant enough.”
A voice rang out.
Ye Zhen stood up directly, and suddenly, he felt something behind him.
The terrifying weight felt like carrying a big mountain.
His bones were groaning.
“Fang Shiming, get away!”
Ye Zhen roared.
Damn it, he stood up and was attacked by two ghosts at the same time.
This was something he hadn’t expected.
Fang Shiming also knew what was happening, his body suddenly exploded, turning into an eerie wind and then spiraling away.
Ye Zhen immediately felt the pressure ease considerably.
The next moment, a supernatural outburst occurred, and Ye Zhen directly became a scapegoat.
But just as he became a scapegoat, a hand eerily stretched out from the darkness, grabbed Ye Zhen’s neck, and directly threw him away.
“Scapegoats are troublesome things.”
The fake Lin Qian stood up and rubbed his face.
He looked at the guy wearing the eerie mask.
Beside him, a young man holding a twisted long sword slowly appeared from the darkness.
The three gathered.
Fang Shiming appeared beside Lin Qian. Ye Zhen shook his head and walked over.
“Lin Qian, what ghost do you have on you that wanted to steal my scapegoat?”
Ye Zhen said, still shaken.
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, “Just a terrifying ghost.”
“Let’s share information.”
Fang Shiming said.
Everyone had secrets, but now was definitely not the time to discuss them.
The opponent clearly wasn’t intending to fight them one-on-one.
Lin Qian paused and nodded, “My ghost has many abilities. The most terrifying is the suppression power of the Ghost Messenger, which allows me to suppress three ghosts. Next is the Plunder Ghost.”
“I can plunder anything, literally anything. I can use this to restart.”
Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen said in unison, extremely decisively, “Your Mirror Image is your own problem to deal with.”
Lin Qian: “…”
“No wonder I felt my scapegoat was being suppressed just now. You, you sneaky guy, stole the Ghost Messenger’s supernatural ability.”
“Fortunately, I have many ghosts on me and reacted in time, otherwise I would have definitely not…”
Ye Zhen said.
His lingering fear was not fake.
He really thought he was going to lose just now.
Now, after hearing this, he felt his defeat was justified.
Lin Qian, this guy, usually didn’t show off.
Who knew he would be the hardest to kill among the three.
Possibly even harder to kill than Ye Zhen.
“By revealing our Fierce Ghost abilities like this, aren’t you afraid of betrayal?”
The fake Lin Qian on the other side asked.
“Betrayal?”
Fang Shiming narrowed his eyes slightly. “Who would betray a researcher?”
Hearing this, the fake Lin Qian on the other side grinned.
“If I said that whoever gets the plunder ghost on us can create a deadlocked ghost, would you still think that way?”
Fang Shiming’s eyes narrowed.
Ye Zhen licked his lips. “Lin Qian, he’s trying to sow discord!”
“I can hear and see it.”
“But, you’d better take care of your Mirror Image now. He’s secretly charging up.”
Lin Qian said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen instantly disappeared from his spot.
The long sword was raised instantly. The Ye Zhen on the other side reacted quickly.
His fist and the long sword collided.
Supernatural powers clashed.
The long sword was directly smashed.
The two Ye Zhens began a brutal confrontation.
Fist to fist.
Fang Shiming gave the opponent no chance to react, and the eerie wind rushed straight towards the fake.
As for Lin Qian, just like before, he instantly appeared in front of the opponent.
Time was plundered, and the opponent had no chance to react before Lin Qian grabbed his neck.
The opponent clearly hesitated.
Then he realized, “So it can be played like this?”
“But unfortunately.”
The fake, even when grabbed, was not instantly suppressed.
Lin Qian was somewhat surprised but quickly figured out what was happening.
The opponent had actually disassembled his own fierce ghost again, changing from two to four or five.
Exactly exceeding the quota of the Ghost Messenger.
The opponent grabbed Lin Qian with his free hand.
Lin Qian’s expression remained calm. The opponent hesitated again.
No, why wasn’t the opponent suppressed?
But he soon discovered the reason.
“It can be done like this too?”
Lin Qian chuckled. “Otherwise?”
*Crack.*
The opponent’s neck exploded instantly. A terrifying supernatural overlay instantly killed him.
The opponent turned into a black shadow again and then turned into black smoke and disappeared.
Although Lin Qian had dealt with him, he did not feel relaxed.
The opponent would return, learn from their past failures, and come back.
They could fail countless times, but they could not afford to fail even once.
