Chapter 168: The Awakened Yang Jian
Even Zhang Dong knows.
Is this thoroughly understanding his memory?
Lin Qian’s gaze flickered, staring intently at this Ghost Yang Jian.
“Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. Without those eerie ghosts in your memory, I couldn’t have become so perfect, nor could I possess wisdom and memory like a human.”
Ghost Yang Jian put his hands in his pockets, and the clothes on his body changed, surprisingly turning into a set of casual wear.
“Your memory is very strange. In my current state, even if I’m fake, your memory couldn’t hide anything from me.”
“But I still can’t glimpse the full picture of your memory.”
“This is very strange.”
It was already the power of a god.
Lin Qian was horrified in his heart.
Even without that Ghost Eye, this Yang Jian still possessed the power of a god.
He gripped the shovel in his hand tightly.
“You don’t believe me.”
“Of course, that’s normal.”
“After all, I and that ‘Yang Jian’ in your memory are completely different existences.”
“But still, one sentence, Lin Qian, do you know quantum entanglement?”
Yang Jian shook his head, “Go back and ask Wang Xiao Ming, he’ll know.”
Leaving this sentence, Yang Jian seemed to plan to leave.
But at the moment he turned to leave, he paused, then slightly turned his head. “Lin Qian, what you want is in the hands of the source ghost.”
“I can’t get close to that ghost. After all, I appeared based on its supernatural nature.”
“I want to leave, it’s not easy.”
“You want to leave, it’s even harder.”
“Figure out whether you are inside the mirror.”
“Remember, everything in the world inside the mirror is inverted.”
Leaving these words, Yang Jian finally left, his figure quickly disappearing.
Everything inside the mirror is inverted.
Lin Qian did not stop Yang Jian from leaving.
The other party was not wrong; here he couldn’t beat Yang Jian.
Even if they got out, he still couldn’t beat him.
A ghost infinitely close to a god, and it also possessed human memory.
Such an existence was no longer something they could handle.
Even if they were anomalies.
Lin Qian knew what the other party’s situation was.
The moment the other party knew he was fake, he couldn’t be controlled by a fierce ghost.
If it were him, he would do the same.
Moreover, the other party was Yang Jian, a Yang Jian who had read all his memory.
Lin Qian exhaled.
He turned and quickly went to find Ye Zhen and Fang Shiming.
Everything here is inverted.
So any common sense is wrong.
It even becomes extremely eerie due to the inversion.
At this moment in the graveyard.
Fang Shiming, Ye Zhen, and Liu Ping were moving through the graveyard.
They passed by mirrors.
These mirrors seemed to all be worlds similar to a ghost domain.
Whenever they passed by, black hands would stretch out from inside the mirrors, trying to drag them in.
Although these hands couldn’t grab them each time, it made their progress difficult.
Ye Zhen had tried smashing these mirrors, but was surprised to find that their attacks couldn’t touch the mirrors at all.
But the hands stretching out from inside the mirrors could touch them.
Normally, touching should be mutual.
But eerily, when the other side touched them, they still couldn’t touch it.
Any attack would pass through those arms.
Breaking free was actually simple; just using force would do.
When the arm extended beyond a certain length from the mirror, the arm would instantly become illusory and retract into the mirror.
Extremely eerie.
All three knew that this mirror was not on the same level as them.
To deal with these mirrors, they had to be on the same level as the mirrors.
“The source must be here.”
Fang Shiming suddenly spoke up.
Then, the three suddenly stopped.
The three stared intently ahead.
Ahead, on a tombstone, a corpse was sitting on the tombstone.
The other party’s skin was pale all over, but its face was bluish-black.
A pair of eyes was even more eerie, looking extremely out of place.
Liu Ping observed carefully and found that these eyes were not human eyes, but animal eyes.
Slit pupils.
But eerily, these pupils were slanted.
A pair of slit pupils slanted in the eye sockets.
“Ghost?”
Ye Zhen glanced, and after confirming it was a ghost, instantly appeared in front of the fierce ghost.
A fist directly smashed toward the fierce ghost’s head.
But something eerie happened.
Ye Zhen’s fist directly passed through that fierce ghost.
Not only that, at the moment Ye Zhen passed through this fierce ghost, the fierce ghost’s eyes clearly moved.
Then the fierce ghost eerily disappeared.
“Illusion?”
Ye Zhen frowned.
“Damn, why are so many ghosts here not on the same level as us?”
Ye Zhen was completely speechless.
Fang Shiming also felt very frustrated.
If fierce ghosts were not on the same level as them, what was the point?
They could only be attacked by ghosts, unable to attack the fierce ghosts—how to play?
“If the source is like this too, then what’s the point.”
Ye Zhen said.
Fang Shiming also knew this wasn’t sustainable.
But they had no solutions right now.
In such an eerie place, what could they do?
Given the eeriness of this place, ordinary people would die instantly.
Ghost controllers coming in, if their self-preservation wasn’t strong enough, would also die.
“I don’t know how long Lin Qian can hold out.”
Fang Shiming was also unsure how long Lin Qian could last against Ghost Yang Jian.
Although Lin Qian’s strength was very strong now, Ghost Yang Jian seemed even stronger.
“Whatever, Ye Zhen, help me block all supernatural attacks.”
Supernatural outburst instantly erupted from Fang Shiming, gloomy winds suddenly rose, directly covering and blowing toward the surroundings.
Fang Shiming closed his eyes, his expression grave.
Ye Zhen didn’t waste words and instantly appeared beside Fang Shiming, staying vigilant around them.
The wind penetrated everywhere.
In less than ten seconds, Fang Shiming suddenly opened his eyes, “Follow me, found it!”
Ye Zhen was delighted.
Fang Shiming led the way ahead, and the two quickly followed.
Da da da~!
The footsteps of the three quickly faded into the distance.
At this moment.
Lin Qian was walking in the graveyard.
Mirrors were densely packed around him.
They were constantly emerging from the mud.
Most had fully emerged.
Each mirror reflected his figure.
But eerily, his self in the mirror had a stiff, numb expression, like a dead person, motionless.
“Ghost place.”
Lin Qian quickened his pace; he had left a medium on Fang Shiming and the others.
He could clearly know where the three of them were.
This was one of the reasons he felt safe separating from them.
He could confirm their positions at any time.
From the start until now, the four of them, except Liu Ping, hadn’t actually encountered any real danger.
After creating Ghost Yang Jian, Lin Qian thought Ghost Yang Jian was their greatest danger.
But now it seemed not, not at all.
The greatest danger was very likely still incubating.
Lin Qian’s guess was correct.
At this moment, Ghost Yang Jian arrived in front of a mountain.
“What a eerie fierce ghost. Old antiques from the Republic of China are indeed extraordinary.”
Yang Jian stood in front of a mountain wall, raising one finger and slashing at the wall.
Terrifying supernatural outburst.
The mountain wall was instantly torn open.
Gloomy mist emanated from the torn mountain wall.
“Lin Qian, thanks to you, I glimpsed your memory, so I can’t not repay this favor.”
The mountain wall was torn open, revealing a small path filled with mist.
Yang Jian strode in.
“Lin Qian, I’ll clear the path for you.”
Yang Jian clearly knew many secrets here.
But he didn’t tell Lin Qian directly.
The supernatural was extremely terrifying; the torn mountain wall quickly swallowed Yang Jian.
But as Yang Jian left, the mountain wall did not heal.
It seemed this was the path Yang Jian left for Lin Qian.
A path to leave here.
At the same time.
The moment Yang Jian left here.
Dense mist suddenly rose in the graveyard.
Da da da~!
Dull footsteps suddenly sounded.
Lin Qian paused, and suddenly, a coughing sound appeared.
Cough cough~!
The next moment, Lin Qian’s head suddenly fell off.
At the moment the head fell, a pitch-black hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness, grabbing toward Lin Qian’s head.
But just as that pitch-black hand was about to touch the head.
The falling head, whether by coincidence or not, landed face-up on the ground.
Directly facing that pitch-black hand.
The next moment, a eerie eye on the forehead of the head suddenly opened.
The arm instantly disappeared, directly erased.
Da da da~!
Footsteps sounded, a pale hand picked up the head, then pressed it back onto the neck.
The head was slightly crooked.
The pale hand straightened it.
But all the eeriness before his eyes was erased by this crookedness.
The eyes slowly closed.
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, “An unavoidable, certain-death attack—even the scapegoat can barely substitute death for it.”
Recalling the situation just now, that hand reaching for his head.
It seemed to be coming for the Ghost Eye on his body.
That sudden attack just now almost made him think he was going to die.
The familiar coughing sound.
When the coughing sound occurs, death is certain.
“Rendezvous first.”
Lin Qian directly activated his ghost domain and quickly approached Fang Shiming and the others’ position.
But at this moment, Fang Shiming and the others were also facing something extremely terrifying.
“Can’t stand on the ground.”
Fang Shiming sat on a tombstone, looking at his blackened, rotting feet.
Without any hesitation, he directly tore off his feet to prevent the supernatural from spreading through his body.
Liu Ping was fine; with Ye Zhen’s help, he hadn’t touched the ground.
But Ye Zhen’s situation looked very serious.
Both feet blackened and rotting, white bones visible.
But Ye Zhen was still standing.
Just standing on the tombstone.
Substitute death ability activated.
Ye Zhen’s feet quickly recovered.
“How are you?”
Watching Fang Shiming throw his feet to the ground.
Visibly, the feet rotted into white bones and finally sank into the ground.
“The supernatural is very strong, with strong invasive power.”
Fang Shiming said calmly.
His severed feet were slowly repairing.
Fang Shiming simply threw away his other shoe too.
Seeing Fang Shiming recovering, Ye Zhen knew Fang Shiming was fine.
“The ghost is underground?”
Ye Zhen squatted on the tombstone, staring at the mud below.
This mud originally had no supernatural nature.
But now.
It seemed covered by the ghost’s supernatural nature.
“Not sure.”
Fang Shiming looked at his fully recovered feet and nodded in satisfaction.
Then he also sat up, squatting on the tombstone.
Liu Ping seemed to have something to say, but seeing the two not caring, he held it back.
“Did you notice something?”
Fang Shiming looked at Liu Ping, who seemed hesitant.
Liu Ping looked at the ground and shook his head, “I didn’t notice any problems.”
Fang Shiming nodded; he was just asking, not thinking the other could find any issues.
“The ghost might be underground.”
“Ye Zhen, with your substitute death just now, did it substitute onto the ghost?”
Fang Shiming asked.
Ye Zhen shook his head, “Same thing—only the ghost can attack us, we can’t attack the ghost.”
His substitute death went to items, like the tombstones and trees here.
But it didn’t substitute onto any fierce ghost.
“I saw the source ahead, but your substitute death didn’t land on any ghost here.”
“That means the source ghost probably can’t be attacked.”
Fang Shiming sighed, “We’ve never been on the same level as that ghost.”
This was very frustrating.
“Find a way to leave here.”
Ye Zhen suddenly said.
There was no opportunity here at all.
It was just like fighting someone in their ghost domain.
Everything you see is just what the ghost domain owner wants you to see.
You are being deceived.
The current situation was similar.
Although up to now, they hadn’t encountered any fierce ghosts that could threaten their lives.
But that didn’t mean there were no such ghosts here.
“I think it’s feasible.” Fang Shiming agreed with Ye Zhen’s suggestion.
Just as the two were thinking about how to leave.
At this moment, Lin Qian was facing something extremely terrifying.
Lin Qian gripped the shovel in his hand tightly.
A figure quickly approached him.
The figure was pitch-black, details completely unclear.
The figure reached Lin Qian in the blink of an eye and grabbed at him.
The chilling sensation made Lin Qian’s hair stand on end.
The shovel in his hand directly swung over.
Bang~!
The figure directly exploded into mist and disappeared on the spot.
The ghost seemed to be dealt with.
But Lin Qian’s face showed no relief.
Da da da~!
The moment the figure turned into mist and disappeared, footsteps sounded simultaneously from the darkness.
Immediately after, behind him, an identical pitch-black figure quickly approached Lin Qian.
“Damn, do you want this eye of mine so badly?”
“Come on!”
The Ghost Eye on his forehead instantly opened, and the figure directly vanished on the spot, not even leaving mist.
Even the mist was cleared, opening a passage.
Lin Qian simply didn’t close the Ghost Eye immediately.
He directly scanned the surroundings.
All the mist around disappeared in that instant.
No more footsteps sounded in his ears.
Only then did Lin Qian close the Ghost Eye.
“Ghost thing.”
Lin Qian exhaled, feeling his body.
“Three seconds of time—the scapegoat won’t reach its limit, so we can test step by step.”
The situation here was too eerie.
They were passive everywhere here; clearly taking action, but detaining nothing.
Everything strange.
