Chapter 165: Plunder’s Substitute Death
A fake is a fake after all.
The three of them eliminated their respective fakes at an extremely terrifying speed.
Ye Zhen flicked his hand, “If this happens a few more times, the fakes will become more proficient in their use of ghosts.”
Fang Shiming nodded, “That’s true. Compared to last time, the opponent has lasted a bit longer in my hands.”
Lin Qian also knew this situation.
The surroundings were still dark.
Fang Shiming’s attack just now had caused all the surrounding starving ghosts to be reformed.
But the source had not been dealt with.
This meant that starving ghosts would appear continuously.
But fortunately, appearing also takes time.
Although it was unclear why Liu Ping’s mirror image had not appeared.
But this did not seem important.
“They can afford to lose many times, but we can only afford to lose once.”
“The worst outcome is that we lose, and then we are replaced.”
“Or, we become the ghost slave of that old antique.”
Lin Qian said with a solemn expression.
“Let’s flip the table,” Ye Zhen said.
“If we keep stalling like this, we will definitely be trapped here.”
None of them were fools.
Continuing to fight against fakes that could appear endlessly, losing was only a matter of time.
“It’s disadvantageous for us to be in the school.”
Lin Qian glanced at his surroundings and said decisively.
The starving ghosts were in the school, and fierce ghosts were also rushing towards them.
The arrival of the fierce ghosts would undoubtedly be a buffet for the starving ghosts.
Lin Qian looked into the darkness, a fierce ghost that had been affected and fallen silent during their confrontation was suddenly dragged into the darkness by something.
The words fell.
The four of them rushed straight to the school gate.
Ye Zhen led the way, and the four of them walked out of the school very smoothly.
They arrived on the street and looked back at the school.
The entire school was shrouded in a fog.
“What should we do?”
Liu Ping asked.
“There’s no ‘what should we do’ because we don’t know anything about this place.”
Lin Qian scanned his surroundings. After leaving the school, they discovered that.
The world outside the school was no different.
It was all shrouded in a dark ghost domain.
The ghost domain covered the sky, seeming to hide something.
“We can only take it one step at a time.”
Lin Qian had an extremely strong sense of crisis. If they didn’t do something, they would die sooner or later.
But what could they do?
How to do it, and what to do.
They couldn’t find the old antique, nor the source of this place.
They didn’t even know what kind of situation this was.
At this moment, Lin Qian suddenly had the urge to flip the table.
But his reason told him that he couldn’t do it for now.
He only had two chances.
Unless, he didn’t care about Ye Zhen, Fang Shiming, and Liu Ping.
Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen also knew that they currently had no objective.
It wasn’t that they had no objective, but rather that they had one but didn’t know how to proceed.
They seemed to be trapped here.
If they knew what to do, they wouldn’t be so lost.
This place had stumped the three of them, who were top ghost controllers.
There was still some time for now.
Lin Qian, Ye Zhen, and Fang Shiming, the three of them gathered together.
“The objective needs to change.”
Lin Qian said with a solemn expression.
Fang Shiming nodded, “It does need to change. This place has made me a bit confused.”
“Me too,” Ye Zhen said.
“The original objective was to find the source and confront it, but now, the other party seems to want to trap us.”
“Or is it delaying time.”
“This must be the world inside the mirror, and since the starving ghosts have appeared, then inevitably, the ghost messengers and those terrifying fierce ghosts we’ve seen before will also appear.”
“It’s highly possible.”
Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Fang Shiming nodded, “You’re right, so…”
Lin Qian looked at Ye Zhen, “It’s your turn to make an appearance. Cause chaos here.”
“Any place has a limit to the supernatural power it can withstand.”
“The other party wants to use the starving ghosts in conjunction with those three mirror images to defeat us.”
“Then why not, we directly make the starving ghosts terrifying?”
Lin Qian’s idea was extremely bold.
Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen listened with great interest.
Seeing that the two had no intention of objecting, Lin Qian continued, “Catch ghosts and feed the starving ghosts!”
Their eyes flashed, and they both nodded.
“Then, don’t kill our mirror images when we encounter them. Keep them for the starving ghosts to eat,” Fang Shiming said.
Ye Zhen grinned, “Good idea!”
Since they were going to make trouble, they might as well make it big.
“Ye Zhen will catch ghosts to feed the starving ghosts.”
“I will deal with the mirror images of the three of us.”
“Fang Shiming, you go into the city and see if, as I suspect, some ghosts you’ve seen before have appeared.”
“If that’s the case, and you see a bizarre lake, immediately notify Ye Zhen and have him figure out how to lure the starving ghosts there.”
“If you see a ghost messenger, lure them to my location.”
Although Fang Shiming didn’t understand, he still nodded.
Catching ghosts, raising ghosts.
Supernatural power has a limit, but if they can’t reach that limit, then let the ghosts here reach that limit.
“Let’s begin.”
Action must be swift.
Fang Shiming instantly disappeared from his spot, a cold wind rose from the ground and headed straight for the city.
Ye Zhen turned his head and went straight back to the campus.
His goal was to catch ghosts for the starving ghosts to eat, so it would be better to lure the starving ghosts to wander around the city.
When Fang Shiming reported the location of a fierce ghost, he would immediately take the starving ghosts there.
Soon, inside the school, a white candlelight flickered to life.
Then, a wall of the campus suddenly collapsed.
Immediately after, Ye Zhen walked out holding a white ghost candle, he greeted Lin Qian and walked straight towards the city.
Behind him were a series of strange footsteps.
“Um, what about me?”
Liu Ping pointed at himself, he seemed to have been overlooked, but he had no proof.
“In a moment, find a safe place to hide yourself.”
Liu Ping had no use, at least, not here.
Lin Qian could feel that the fierce ghost within Liu Ping was severely restricted here.
One or two of the killing patterns seemed to be unable to be triggered.
Liu Ping really wanted to say that he was quite useful.
But after thinking about it, he shut his mouth and obediently went to find a safe place.
Although he didn’t know what place was the safest.
Liu Ping immediately.
Lin Qian stood alone at the school gate.
The school’s foggy ghost domain was disappearing.
The starving ghosts had been taken away.
Lin Qian squinted slightly, “Hope it works.”
If the starving ghosts or ghost messengers could grow to the limit that this world could withstand, then this world would definitely collapse.
At that time, the source of everything would inevitably appear before their eyes.
Of course, it might be a new mirror.
“It seems you’ve already figured out how to leave this place immediately.”
A flippant voice sounded.
Lin Qian tilted his head slightly. At the school gate, a young man wearing a ghost face mask was leaning there.
Lin Qian sized him up, “You’re becoming more and more like me.”
The other party smiled, “Not like, but you are.”
“Unfortunately, some of your memories, I have not obtained.”
“This is very strange. Perhaps, after I replace you, this memory will be filled in.”
Lin Qian hooked the corner of his mouth, “Is it just you?”
*Scratch~!*
His chest was suddenly pierced, “Of course, it can’t be just one person. You are the most dangerous, so resolving you first is the most correct choice.”
Lin Qian lowered his head slightly, looking at the twisted long sword piercing through him.
The voice behind him was extremely familiar.
It was Ye Zhen.
The mirror image Ye Zhen.
“You’re good at sneak attacks.”
“But sneak attacks are useless against me.”
Lin Qian’s figure flickered, and he instantly disappeared.
Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly.
But the next moment, Ye Zhen felt danger.
Extreme danger.
He wanted to dodge, but then he was shocked to find that his feet could not move.
He looked down, and it turned out that at some point, his feet had been frozen.
The fierce ghost within him was instantly suppressed.
Ye Zhen looked up at the side.
He saw a slightly bent ice sculpture standing not far away.
It was Fang Shiming’s mirror image.
And the mirror image Lin Qian, who had been leaning at the school gate, had already been frozen.
“Suppressing three people simultaneously, your quota is not enough.”
The voice of the mirror image Lin Qian sounded, and he actually walked directly out of the ice layer.
“There are only three quotas for ghost messengers.”
“You must use one to suppress Ye Zhen’s scapegoat, and you cannot use the supernatural power of a ghost messenger to suppress the other ghosts.”
“Fang Shiming’s supernatural power is very strong, and if you want to suppress it, you will have to use all your strength.”
“Therefore, you currently have at most two remaining quotas for ghost messengers.”
“No, it should be one quota.”
“You need to suppress one ghost on yourself, a fierce ghost that will instantly revive if the suppression is released.”
The fake Lin Qian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Lin Qian tilted his head, “You seem to have forgotten something.”
The next moment, Ye Zhen was suddenly enveloped in black mist.
The fake Lin Qian’s face sank, and without further hesitation, he launched an attack.
But it was too late.
At the same time, Fang Shiming was also enveloped by a strange black mist.
Two fakes disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lin Qian stretched his neck. “Fang Shiming hid pretty deep.”
“However, this ability is quite useful here.”
The fake Lin Qian felt the current Lin Qian was extremely tricky.
“Hmm, not bad, is this the ability of a scapegoat?”
“You tell me, can I say I’m invincible here right now?”
With a scapegoat in hand, if he isn’t invincible, who is?
He finally understood why Ye Zhen was so reckless.
“No words, it can actually be like this.”
The fake Lin Qian no longer wanted to fight.
“Learn it.”
The next moment, Lin Qian removed his mask.
The fake Lin Qian was a bit confused, what was he going to do?
But the next moment, he was terrified to see that Lin Qian’s forehead suddenly tore open.
A strange pupil, slowly opened.
The moment the pupil opened, he was stunned.
The entire school instantly disappeared.
An arm fell, but Lin Qian merely shifted his line of sight slightly, and the arm also disappeared.
Lin Qian’s entire body began to melt, but the next moment, his body recovered as before.
Not far away, an old tree weirdly melted.
The pupil slowly closed.
Lin Qian smiled, “This is truly an unsolvable supernatural phenomenon.”
At this moment, within the graveyard.
The figure on the tombstone suddenly turned its head, looking at a mirror.
The mirror suddenly shattered, and a gaze instantly shot over.
In front of the figure, a mirror instantly appeared, blocking the chilling gaze.
But the mirror instantly disappeared.
Several mirrors rapidly appeared.
But not a single mirror could last for a second.
It was only after more than a dozen mirrors had all vanished that the gaze seemed to disappear.
The figure froze on the tombstone, the fan in its hand stopped shaking.
What happened?
Ye Zhen and Fang Shiming, who had just walked out of the mirror, frowned.
“Lin Qian’s mirror has disappeared.”
“So, Lin Qian won’t revive again?” Ye Zhen asked.
“Not necessarily.”
Fang Shiming looked at the figure on the tombstone.
At this moment.
Lin Qian looked at the distant sky. “This world is quite resilient, it wasn’t torn apart.”
“Or it was blocked by something.”
Lin Qian stroked his chin. In the distance, Liu Ping stood frozen, not daring to move.
He tilted his head slightly; the school had just disappeared right beside him.
He had been thinking of hiding inside the school.
Fortunately, he didn’t go.
After a while, Liu Ping peeked his head out from behind a tree, looking at Lin Qian in an open space.
“Uh, boss, is it okay for me to hide here? I feel like it’s too dangerous if I’m too far away.”
“The school just disappeared right in front of me!”
Liu Ping shouted, still feeling the lingering fear.
“You’d better stay far away, or go find Fang Shiming.”
“No matter your choice, as long as you’re not near me, you’ll be the safest.”
Lin Qian currently has the supernatural abilities of the scapegoat on him.
But he still can’t retract the supernatural phenomenon emitted by that ghost eye.
Hearing this, Liu Ping didn’t hesitate and headed straight for the city.
It’s better to find Fang Shiming.
Lin Qian ignored Liu Ping.
He observed the dark sky in the distance, which he had pushed away with his supernatural abilities.
At this moment, darkness was beginning to re-cover the sky.
But faintly, he seemed to see a red and white figure flash by.
Lin Qian stroked his chin and slowly lowered his head, looking at the ground.
It seemed he had just seen the outside.
What was that red and white figure?
Lin Qian pondered.
At this moment, Fang Shiming was moving through the city.
“It’s no different from what Lin Qian guessed; most of the fierce ghosts in this city are ones we’ve seen and known from our memories.”
Fang Shiming stopped on top of a tall building.
He overlooked the street below, which was submerged in water.
The murky water came from an unknown source.
But this water seemed terrifying; fierce ghosts were swallowed by it and never climbed out again.
And on the water’s surface, many corpses floated face down.
Fang Shiming shifted his gaze and suddenly paused.
On a street the water passed through, a man in an International Police uniform, holding an old hemp rope, stood on a rock.
In the area submerged by water, seven or eight corpses floated around the bodies.
“Ghost Messenger…”
Fang Shiming’s eyes flickered. “Indeed, the Ghost Messengers have also appeared?”
The Ghost Messenger had appeared, but it seemed they were trapped on that rock.
Are those corpses also ghosts?
They should be; only ghosts could trap a Ghost Messenger.
Fang Shiming recalled Lin Qian’s words: if he encountered a Ghost Messenger, he should lure them to Lin Qian’s location.
But this…
This might not be easy to lure.
Fang Shiming thought for a moment and decided to deal with the other ghosts first.
This water must be what Lin Qian called that lake.
Notify Ye Zhen and have him bring the starving ghost.
Fang Shiming turned around, his figure disappearing from the spot.
