Chapter 174: Timely Reminder
There were more and more ghosts, and the stools around were gradually being filled.
But Ye Zhen and Liu Ping had not appeared yet.
If they didn’t hurry, they might have to compete with the ghosts for seats.
How many ghosts there were here, perhaps only the source ghost here knew.
Of course, the other side didn’t know now either.
After all, the old antique was dead.
Fierce ghosts gathered, and the surrounding environment became extremely eerie.
The ghosts did not emit their supernatural properties, but just by gathering, the surroundings visibly darkened to the naked eye.
The high-hanging lanterns had their light strangely concentrated only on the opera stage.
Below the opera stage was shrouded in darkness.
One by one, numb and lifeless eyes stood out extremely conspicuously in the darkness.
If you looked down from the opera stage, you could only see pairs of lifeless and numb eyes, and figures hidden in the darkness.
The scene was horrifying and eerie.
“Fang Shiming, by the way, do you know about quantum entanglement?”
Lin Qian suddenly asked.
Fang Shiming was stunned, “I know a bit, what’s up?”
He didn’t understand why Lin Qian was asking this kind of question.
Quantum entanglement was a very famous phenomenon.
Although he didn’t understand what Lin Qian meant by asking this, he still explained what he knew.
Quantum entanglement（, also known as quantum entanglement, English name: quantum entanglement）, is a quantum mechanics phenomenon referring to when several particles interact with each other, the properties they possess have become integrated into the overall properties, making it impossible to describe the properties of individual particles separately, only the properties of the overall system.
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon that purely occurs in quantum systems; no similar phenomenon can be found in classical mechanics.
Uh…
Seeing Lin Qian’s blank expression, Fang Shiming stopped, thought for a moment, and rephrased.
“Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where, after multiple particles interact, their quantum states become interdependent and cannot be described separately. No matter how far apart these particles are, measuring the state of one particle will instantly affect the state of the other. This phenomenon was called ‘spooky action at a distance’ by Einstein.”
“So, do you understand?”
Fang Shiming summarized, using the most straightforward words.
Lin Qian stroked his chin, “Like this?”
“Although I still don’t quite understand.”
Fang Shiming: “…”
“It’s okay, it’s normal not to understand. People not focused on this field basically can’t comprehend it.”
Of course, in some people’s eyes, this was very simple.
“Why are you asking about this for no reason?”
With things like ghosts appearing, science was no longer applicable.
Moreover, science was ultimately just a social research discipline, not truth.
Science could not provide a reasonable scientific explanation for ghosts.
“Nothing, I just suddenly remembered it.”
Hearing this, Fang Shiming knew Lin Qian didn’t want to say.
He wisely didn’t ask further.
Lin Qian fell into contemplation at this moment.
Quantum entanglement.
Through Fang Shiming’s explanation, although he didn’t fully understand, he still knew that the essence of quantum entanglement was spooky action at a distance.
When one quantum undergoes a change, another quantum associated with it will instantly exhibit the same change.
Lin Qian’s gaze flickered. What exactly did Yang Jian mean?
For the moment, he had no clue.
He could only go back and ask Wang Xiao Ming.
He might know what this situation was.
“So stupid.”
In front of the red mirror, Yang Jian shook his head.
As time gradually passed, his memory became more complete.
At the same time, he also understood who Lin Qian was.
“How interesting. I remember there was someone called Li Yi in the ghost post office.”
Yang Jian stroked his chin; his memory was still not complete.
But no matter, sooner or later, he would know all the mysteries.
At this moment, outside the town.
Ye Zhen shook his head and crawled out from a big pit.
He looked up at the sky with a frown, “Suppression of ghost domain?”
“Can it suppress any ghost domain?”
It was truly bizarre. He could open ghost domain inside the ghost painting, but not here.
Even using substitute death couldn’t achieve it.
Ye Zhen crawled out of the pit.
He turned back and glanced behind him.
A eerie procession appeared faintly.
Ye Zhen frowned, looking at the red and white bride in his hand.
Without nonsense, he carried the fierce ghost and rushed straight toward the town center.
As soon as he entered the town, Ye Zhen felt something was off.
Holy shit!
So many ghosts?
It was just like a market fair.
Ghosts everywhere.
But where were these ghosts going?
Ye Zhen quickly stopped caring about the numerous fierce ghosts here.
After all, these ghosts didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking him.
“Follow and see.”
Ye Zhen didn’t think about where these ghosts were going.
He just followed directly to check it out.
Ye Zhen quickly ran on the street.
But with so many ghosts on the street, Ye Zhen inevitably bumped into fierce ghosts.
And upon bumping, he was instantly attacked.
Ye Zhen frowned. So, bumping still triggered attacks.
With so many ghosts, collisions were inevitable.
Following behind these slow-moving fierce ghosts, he found it too slow.
After thinking for a while, his gaze slowly fell on the rooftops.
Without any nonsense, Ye Zhen jumped up directly and then ran wildly on the buildings.
Ye Zhen was very conspicuous, but no one looked at him.
In less than ten minutes, Ye Zhen suddenly appeared in the town center.
With just one glance, he saw Fang Shiming and Lin Qian.
Ye Zhen paused, thought for a moment, then jumped down directly and walked toward Lin Qian and Fang Shiming.
“Ye Zhen is here.”
Fang Shiming turned back to look. Not bad, the speed wasn’t slow.
Lin Qian looked at the red and white wedding dress bride that Ye Zhen was carrying, his gaze narrowing slightly.
For Ye Zhen to keep carrying it, this meant this ghost was very dangerous.
“What’s the situation with you guys?”
Ye Zhen scanned the surroundings, “Are you going to watch a ghost play with the ghosts?”
“Obviously.”
Lin Qian said.
Ye Zhen glanced at the empty seat next to Fang Shiming, but he didn’t rush to sit.
“Try to detain this ghost. It’s very special; once the suppression is released, it will instantly revive.”
Ye Zhen handed the fierce ghost to Lin Qian.
Lin Qian upon hearing, “It will revive directly if suppression is released?”
Ye Zhen nodded, “It took me a lot of effort to catch it.”
Lin Qian examined this ghost up and down.
If suppression is released, this ghost will revive, meaning this thing might not be affected by any remote supernatural attacks.
Because once the supernatural is not continuous, this ghost will always be in a fully revived state.
Moreover, once the terror level is lower than this ghost’s, there’s absolutely no way to detain it.
Unless you have stacked supernatural means.
This ghost was very terrifying and also very hard to control.
Lin Qian reached out to take it and forcibly suppressed it.
“Okay?”
Ye Zhen asked.
Lin Qian nodded, “Two ghosts.”
In his judgment, this was two ghosts, just right to be suppressed.
But this would cause a situation where he couldn’t use ghost messenger supernatural to suppress fierce ghosts next.
But it was worth it.
Lin Qian grabbed the fierce ghost and forcibly stuffed it into the opera stage.
Ye Zhen and Fang Shiming only saw Lin Qian’s arm and the fierce ghost suddenly disappear for a moment, then when the arm reappeared, the fierce ghost was gone.
“On my side, I can hold at most five S-level ghosts. For this level of fierce ghost, at most two.”
Lin Qian said.
After not needing to suppress the fierce ghost, Ye Zhen felt much more relaxed.
“No problem. This type of ghost won’t keep coming. I couldn’t hold it because my bag couldn’t suppress this ghost; its terror level is higher than mine.”
Ye Zhen shook his hand and sat next to Fang Shiming.
“Have you encountered the source ghost?”
“I haven’t on my side. I was detained in a grave and encountered a very terrifying ghost. It took some effort to detain it.”
“After I crawled out of the grave, I encountered this ghost.”
“By the way, there was also a wedding reception team, probably coming for this ghost. That team seemed to have followed me into the town.”
Ye Zhen recounted what he had encountered.
“Wedding reception team?”
“Paper figures and paper horses, red and white colors?”
Fang Shiming said.
“You encountered it?”
“Yeah, I encountered it on a street outside the town. I lit a ghost candle, and they didn’t attack me, but I could feel that team was very dangerous.”
Lin Qian stroked his chin, then looked at Ye Zhen, “That team was chasing you… doesn’t that mean…”
Fang Shiming suddenly reacted.
“You gave the ghost to Lin Qian, so next…”
Next, that team’s target would be Lin Qian.
Ye Zhen calmly waved his hand, “Don’t worry. When the time comes, I’ll make a move. Since I gave the ghost to Lin Qian, I’ll naturally handle all the subsequent dangers.”
“Moreover, I feel this ghost cannot join that team.”
“This ghost revives immediately without suppression. If it joins that team, the supernatural might stack together.”
“That would be even more dangerous.”
Ye Zhen finally had some brains.
Fang Shiming nodded admiringly.
“Little Fang, what’s with that look?”
Ye Zhen looked at Fang Shiming discontentedly.
Fang Shiming: “What look?”
“Lin Qian, did my expression change?”
Lin Qian looked and shook his head, “No.”
“You must have seen wrong.”
Ye Zhen frowned, “Little Fang, you’re itching for a beating.”
Fang Shiming: “…”
“Alright, the seats are almost full. Our current goal is this ghost play.”
“This might be my puzzle piece.”
Lin Qian said.
“No problem, I’ll take the lead.”
“By the way, Lin Qian, that Ghost Yang Jian, when he came out before, the eye on his forehead seemed golden…”
Hearing Ye Zhen’s words, Lin Qian shook his head, “No, it was black. You saw wrong.”
Although Fang Shiming didn’t know why Lin Qian was lying to Ye Zhen, he still chimed in.
“What golden or black? Wasn’t it red?”
Three people, three different colors.
Ye Zhen was puzzled, “Could it be that each of us saw a different color?”
“Not sure, probably supernatural influence. Anyway, I saw black.”
“Later I saw black too.”
Lin Qian said calmly.
“Looks like only Lin Qian wasn’t affected.” Fang Shiming said.
Ye Zhen was a bit disappointed.
Perhaps because he was too obsessed with the golden ghost domain, he saw an illusion.
After all, no one knew how many killing patterns that Ghost Yang Jian had.
Ye Zhen found an excuse for himself.
Lin Qian and Fang Shiming exchanged a glance, understanding each other tacitly.
While the three were chatting.
The seats had unknowingly filled up.
Suddenly, the surroundings darkened further.
The hanging lanterns instantly turned eerie green.
The surrounding environment became filled with ghostly aura.
On the opera stage, a footsteps sound suddenly rang out.
And at the moment the footsteps sounded.
Those fierce ghosts still walking toward here suddenly stopped in place.
Then, without any reason, they turned and walked away.
The fierce ghosts that had entered but had no seats did the same.
Seeing this, the three’s expressions changed slightly.
Fang Shiming and Lin Qian felt a chill of fear.
Their guess came true.
Only to see those fierce ghosts without seats, at the moment they turned to leave, the ground under their feet suddenly writhed.
Immediately after, more than a dozen black hands stretched out from the ground, firmly grabbing the fierce ghosts and dragging them underground.
The fierce ghosts struggled, but it was futile; they were brutally dragged into the ground.
In just a few seconds, all the fierce ghosts without seats around were grabbed into the ground by the hands stretching from the ground.
No supernatural fluctuation; the grabbed fierce ghosts were directly suppressed.
The three’s faces all turned very ugly.
Fang Shiming wanted to say they were lucky to have foreseen this.
But just as he was about to speak, Lin Qian quickly shook his head.
Fang Shiming and Ye Zhen immediately shut up.
Da da da~!
The footsteps continued to sound.
On the opera stage, from below the stage, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit slowly walked up.
The middle-aged man was expressionless, with numb and lifeless eyes.
The Zhongshan suit on his body was pitch black, but no matter how you looked, it resembled a death robe.
The middle-aged man went on stage and stood still.
No one knew what this middle-aged man was going to do.
Only to see the middle-aged man slightly turn his neck, as if scanning all the audience present.
The lifeless eyes swept over all the audience with the movement of his head.
The other party seemed to be searching for something.
Or perhaps checking something.
When the middle-aged man swept past them without stopping, the three breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment.
The three instantly felt hair-raising terror.
The three abruptly looked up; a pair of lifeless and numb eyes stared dead at them three.
And at this moment, ka ka ka~!
Sounds of necks turning rang out around.
Pairs of numb and lifeless eyes all looked over.
Cold sweat broke out on Fang Shiming’s forehead.
Lin Qian’s face was grim, something wriggling on his forehead.
Ye Zhen clenched his fist, glaring hostilely at all the surrounding fierce ghosts.
Trouble!
The ghosts discovered them!
The three were ready to erupt at any moment and take on these over three hundred fierce ghosts single-handedly.
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded simultaneously in the three’s minds.
“Idiots, disguise yourselves as ghosts, otherwise the ghost play won’t start, and you won’t get to see the ghost performer!”
The voice was extremely familiar.
Almost instantly, the three recognized whose voice it was.
Ghost Yang Jian!
It had been there all along, watching them.
All three hesitated a bit, but hesitation meant defeat. Lin Qian didn’t want to miss the opportunity to complete a ghost performer.
Without any hesitation, the ghost face mask emerged, and his body was directly taken over by supernatural.
At this moment, he looked more like a ghost.
Ye Zhen and Fang Shiming did the same, directly filling their bodies with supernatural.
Instantly, the three now looked no different from a revived ghost.
And at this time, on the opera stage, after the middle-aged man stared at them for a while, his head slowly shifted away.
Ka ka ka~!
Neck turning sounds rang out again.
One by one, the gazes gradually disappeared.
Safe.
They were temporarily safe.
