Chapter 170: The Person Hidden The Deepest
The mirrors have all left the grave soil.
And this also meant that all the supernatural power of the grave soil had completely disappeared.
White mist enveloped the entire graveyard.
In an instant, the four of them could see nothing.
The surroundings were a vast expanse of white, with nothing in sight.
The four of them did not panic, nor did they try to move around randomly.
They all stayed in place waiting.
They all knew what this change meant.
The source ghost had completely broken free from suppression.
They stayed vigilant around them.
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
The white mist around them began to recede.
Soon, the four of them were stunned to discover that the surrounding environment had changed.
They were in a village.
And at the moment the white mist dissipated, Lin Qian not only discovered that the environment had changed.
Ye Zhen and the others had also disappeared.
“Separated?”
Lin Qian observed the surroundings.
The village was shrouded in gloom.
The entire village looked dark and somber.
There were also no lights.
“No matter how eerie the source ghost is, even if it possesses wisdom, it won’t transcend the rules.”
Lin Qian knew that the source ghost definitely existed in this village.
Moreover, he wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that they no longer needed to find that mirror.
The village roads crisscrossed.
Some roads that seemed like paths actually led to other people’s houses.
Suddenly, eerie sounds rang in his ears.
The source of the sound was from a house nearby.
The sound was extremely eerie.
Just listening to it, an image involuntarily appeared in his mind of a corpse crawling across the ground in an eerie pose.
There was a ghost in the house.
Lin Qian didn’t hesitate at all and strode directly over, then his figure instantly merged into the wall.
When he reappeared, he was already inside the room.
A standard rural self-built house, a two-story small building.
The first floor was the kitchen, hall, and several empty rooms.
Listening carefully, the source of the sound came from the second floor.
Lin Qian wanted to verify something, so without hesitation, he rushed straight up the cement stairs to the second floor.
“Damn, what the hell!”
Ye Zhen touched his neck. When the white mist receded, a hand suddenly grabbed his neck and dragged him away.
By the time he reacted and broke free, he was already in an unfamiliar place.
The thing that had grabbed his neck had no idea where it went.
Ye Zhen scanned the surroundings; this seemed to be the doorway of an ancestral hall.
Behind him was a small courtyard.
The surrounding walls were high without end in sight.
And there was no gate.
Ye Zhen withdrew his gaze and examined the ancestral hall in front of him.
The ancestral hall door appeared to be made of stone, dark green stone.
There were door couplets on both sides, but they had been deliberately scratched off by someone.
He couldn’t make out what was written on the door couplets at all.
The horizontal scroll above was the same.
Ye Zhen rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then strode over aggressively and kicked it with one foot.
Bang!
The stone door was directly kicked open.
A damp, rotten smell instantly rushed out from inside the door.
Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his hand.
Once the wind passed, Ye Zhen looked closely, and his pupils instantly widened.
The next moment, Ye Zhen was inexplicably pushed and directly entered through the door.
Bang~!
The stone door suddenly closed.
At the moment the stone door closed, the door couplets on both sides suddenly turned blood red.
The horizontal scroll above even began to ooze blood directly.
In just a moment, the blood dyed the stone door a uniform blood red.
Ghost wind howled.
Fang Shiming rubbed his neck, his face somewhat gloomy.
He scanned the surroundings, which were extremely dark.
He couldn’t see his hand in front of him.
The sky was pitch black.
He didn’t know where he had been brought after being grabbed by the neck.
But he could confirm that there was a ghost around him, a ghost looking for an opportunity to kill him.
“Separated, as expected, the source here won’t let us gather together.”
Fang Shiming checked his own condition.
His supernatural power was very stable, but…
Fang Shiming looked at his chest.
That spot originally had a camera hanging there.
But now his chest was empty; the camera had long since disappeared somewhere.
Fang Shiming narrowed his eyes, not caring about the loss of the camera.
Having a camera would indeed be more convenient.
But only a bit more convenient.
This didn’t mean that without the photo, he couldn’t use the ghost scissors.
Da da da~!
In the darkness, eerie footsteps suddenly rang out.
The sound was like someone tiptoeing and hopping along.
Fang Shiming didn’t act rashly.
Ghost wind surged around him, howling loudly.
The wind protected Fang Shiming within it, while spreading rapidly toward the surroundings.
The wind would bring information about everything invisible to the naked eye.
The next moment, Fang Shiming’s pupils contracted slightly.
The wind brought back information about the source of the sound.
It was an eerie figure wearing a black death robe, head dangling behind, with a greenish face and fangs, hopping forward on tiptoes.
The terrifying supernatural power even isolated the ghost wind outside.
“S-grade fierce ghost?”
Fang Shiming moved his neck. From the information returned by the ghost wind, he confirmed that they were now on the same level as the ghost.
This also meant that he could attack this ghost.
That made things easier.
Having been attacked by ghosts for so long without being able to fight back was frustrating.
At this moment.
Liu Ping lowered his head slightly, looking at a corpse under his feet, and grinned.
“My guess wasn’t wrong. After the source broke free, we’re only separated from reality by a layer of ghost domain.”
He kicked the corpse up, and the next moment, the corpse eerily disappeared.
And at this moment, in the dim surroundings, starlight suddenly lit up.
Liu Ping raised his head slightly; the sky above was dark without being torn.
But it was dotted with stars.
“Ever since becoming a ghost controller, I’ve been working hard on one thing.”
Starlight carrying bone-chilling cold fell.
Eerie things happened at this moment.
Liu Ping’s severed arm suddenly gathered starlight at this moment.
Then, his severed arm recovered.
Liu Ping moved his newly recovered arm and strode forward.
Ahead, the starry sky shone, starlight paving the way.
The supernatural power on Liu Ping was visibly strengthening.
Few people knew that he had become a ghost controller long ago.
He had been a folk ghost controller for over a year before being discovered by headquarters and joining it.
In terms of seniority, he was about the same as Fang Shiming, or even earlier.
His name was Liu Ping.
The longest-serving person in charge of Da Zhou City since becoming the person in charge.
Also one of the longest-living persons in charge.
He was an anomaly, a true anomaly.
“Come on, let me see where the source is.”
Liu Ping narrowed his eyes looking ahead and said softly, “I will reach the front of the source.”
The next moment, a cold aura suddenly emanated from Liu Ping.
Immediately after, his body was directly covered in bluish-black, and his skin began to rot.
Terrifying supernatural power instantly invaded his body.
But Liu Ping’s expression remained unchanged, very calm.
A star in the sky suddenly dimmed.
And at this moment, Liu Ping’s body eerily recovered to its previous state.
At the same time, Liu Ping’s figure began to disappear.
As Liu Ping disappeared, the stars in the sky vanished in the blink of an eye.
Everything seemed as if it had never happened.
At this moment.
In front of a shattered red mirror, Yang Jian suddenly turned his head to look in one direction.
The ghost eye suddenly opened, and the pitch-black ghost eye dispelled the darkness blinding his eyes.
A cluster of stars, densely packed stars, appeared in one place in the blink of an eye.
The terrifying supernatural powers directly overlapped.
Yang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, “Liu Ping?”
“This guy was hiding his strength before?”
Yang Jian reached out, and a pitch-black spear appeared in his hand.
He instantly vanished from the spot.
He had to go see what was up with this guy called Liu Ping.
Going straight to face the source right away.
And even finding the source.
At this moment, in Da Zhou City.
An old man looked up at the sky; under the ghost domain, everything was plunged into darkness.
But at this moment, the ghost domain became dotted with stars.
Starlight fell, dispelling the darkness.
Although it was still a ghost domain, it now gave the feeling that the sky was just dark.
“Liu Ping, this little guy.”
The old man seemed very familiar with these stars.
He looked somewhat pleased.
Ever since this kid became the person in charge of Da Zhou City, no supernatural event had lasted more than a day.
Moreover, every ghost had been turned into his own supernatural power by him.
And because of this kid, he had rested for a long time.
“Lin Qian, Ye Zhen, Fang Shiming, Liu Ping, um, and Yang Jian who hasn’t grown up yet.”
The old man rubbed his chin, “Yan Li… seems like he’s taking over Old Luo’s team.”
“Lin Qian is taking over Zhang Bohua’s team, as for Ye Zhen and Fang Shiming, Ye Zhen aside, Fang Shiming has a good relationship with Xiao Dong.”
“Liu Ping…”
The old man smiled; he didn’t need to help anymore, as he had already given him a very useful ghost.
At this moment.
In front of the source ghost.
Liu Ping crossed his arms, looking at the girl in front of him who should be wearing floral clothes, with twin ponytails, holding three puppets with threads in her hand?
He fell into thought.
This was the source?
The source ghost was very young, looking like a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl.
Ten fingers wrapped with red threads.
The threads connected to three puppets.
Liu Ping glanced at the three puppets and was surprised to find that they somewhat resembled Lin Qian, Ye Zhen, and Fang Shiming.
Seeing this, Liu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly.
Good thing he discovered it in time. Though he didn’t know the situation, it was definitely not good for Lin Qian and the others.
Liu Ping thought to himself.
Since he was already in front of the source.
He would just deal with it directly.
Amid the remaining icy starlight, the sky above his head was full of stars.
Under the starry sky, he was invincible.
Liu Ping stared at the ‘girl’ in front of him.
He didn’t sense any terrifying supernatural power from her, not even any supernatural power.
But this was the source ghost, and he had paid a heavy price to reach her.
“Very terrifying, better not to test it recklessly.”
Liu Ping knew this source ghost had a high terror level; ghost controllers from the Republic of China era were no pushovers.
So he was very cautious.
Thus, when Liu Ping extended a finger and pressed down.
The stars in the sky immediately flickered.
The icy starlight gathered entirely at this moment, directly projecting onto the ‘girl’.
The starlight converged, dazzling and brilliant.
But this brilliance carried a deadly threat!
Yang Jian saw this and his eyes moved slightly.
He looked up at the stars in the sky.
“What a Liu Ping, hiding his true strength.”
Others couldn’t see it, but he saw clearly.
The divine could see through the essence of anything.
So he saw clearly that every twinkling star was a ghost!
Every ray of starlight was a fierce ghost’s attack.
Although the terror levels of the fierce ghosts varied.
But stacked together, quantity led to a qualitative change.
Liu Ping was very calm, staring at the source ghost gathered by the starlight.
With such a terrifying supernatural attack, he didn’t think this ghost could withstand it.
After all, this strength came from enduring much hardship and many life-and-death crises.
Even if it was a Republic of China old antique, so what? It wasn’t alive anyway.
Ka ka ka~!
Amid the starlight, the girl slowly raised her head.
Numb expression, dead eyes.
It made people shudder and unable to sleep.
Liu Ping’s heart sank, “What the hell, it can still move!”
“You’d better leave now. Fighting a fierce ghost with restart, you have no chance of winning.”
“Of course, if you recklessly use your ability on this ghost, then forget what I said.”
“Moreover, your current attack won’t harm this ghost at all.”
“But Lin Qian and the other three are suffering badly right now.”
Liu Ping narrowed his eyes and turned his head; it was Yang Jian. He had noticed him long ago.
He just hadn’t paid attention.
“A fierce ghost with restart?”
Liu Ping exhaled.
Though he didn’t understand why attacking the source ghost made Lin Qian and the others suffer, he wisely withdrew his supernatural attack.
The starlight instantly dispersed, no longer shining on the ‘girl’.
“I heard from Lin Qian that you want to leave here.”
Liu Ping looked at Yang Jian.
This thing similar to a god created because of Lin Qian and the other three.
It had really scared him back then.
With his strength at the time, one glance would kill him.
But now it was different.
“Naturally, but the moment I probably walk out, it’s the moment I disappear.”
Yang Jian said extremely calmly.
His situation was similar to Xiang Lan’s at the Caesar Grand Hotel.
But they could leave the hotel and live on with enough supernatural power.
But he was different.
He might even disappear because the source ghost was detained.
Unless…
Liu Ping was surprised by Yang Jian’s candor.
“At the beginning, you were very inclined toward being a ghost—no, not inclined, you were a ghost itself.”
“Now, you’re more like a ghost controller.”
Liu Ping sized up Yang Jian.
The two chatted right in front of the source ghost.
They seemed completely unconcerned with the source ghost’s presence.
Yang Jian looked Liu Ping up and down, and after a long while, he spoke:
“It’s best to do fewer things where the result becomes the cause; your personality has become very fickle.”
Hearing this, Liu Ping’s pupils shrank.
“You’re the first, the first to directly state my fierce ghost killing pattern.”
“In front of me, you have no secrets.”
Yang Jian was very calm, “You still have many debts to pay.”
At this point, Yang Jian slightly raised his head to look at the stars in the sky.
Liu Ping tugged at the corner of his mouth, “The debts I owe go decades into the future.”
“I might not even live that long.”
“If you can’t use this ghost, you can give it to me.”
A dangerous smile appeared on Yang Jian’s lips, “I can use it better than you.”
“You should know, if I have this ghost, walking out of here is no problem, and ending the supernatural era is no problem.”
Liu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, a sense of danger rising in his heart.
Was the other about to make a move?
