Chapter 234: The Unexpected Person
“What a pity.”
Lin Qian felt somewhat unwilling.
He had originally planned to sneak attack and plunder some ghosts from the opponent.
But it failed.
His figure flickered, and the wounds on his body instantly disappeared.
The supernatural was dodged.
The injuries naturally recovered as well.
……
Seine River bank.
“What’s so good about coffee?”
Lin Qian picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip.
As expected, he put it down, with a face full of disgust.
“Why did you come so late?”
“Was the matter hard to deal with?”
Ye Zhen asked puzzledly.
Lin Qian shook his head;
“The matter wasn’t troublesome at all, it just almost turned into a fight with someone.”
“Hmm?” Ye Zhen’s eyes flashed, “Almost? Meaning it didn’t happen? The opponent was very strong?”
Fang Shiming was also somewhat surprised. No fight broke out, which under normal circumstances couldn’t explain much.
But the one who didn’t fight was Lin Qian, which explained a lot.
Fang Shiming cast an inquiring look at Lin Qian.
“Very strong, you could say that. He can be called the Number One Person Under the Republic of China.”
“He had scruples, otherwise, he would have acted immediately.”
“He wouldn’t have given me the opportunity to scheme against him.”
What were Zhang Xiangguang’s scruples?
Simple, the thing inside Mount Olympus.
Being too smart isn’t always good.
When the opponent discovered him in that place, he probably already thought that he might use the thing inside that mountain to deal with him.
Plus the bet he mentioned.
The opponent became even more certain.
And the fact was indeed so; he didn’t know what the thing in the mountain was.
But it was certain that the thing would pose a danger to him.
As long as he stepped out of the Ghost Domain, the thing inside would “accidentally” come out.
At that time, it would definitely be very troublesome.
What Zhang Xiangguang feared was the thing in the mountain, as well as this Ghost Controller whose depths were unknown.
The combination of the two made Zhang Xiangguang not act immediately.
“Number One Person Under the Republic of China, interesting. Who is it, where, Lin Qian, point out the location.”
Ye Zhen rubbed his hands, his meaning very simple.
You point out the location, Lin Qian, and I, Ye Zhen, will charge ahead with my head held high.
Lin Qian ignored Ye Zhen’s nonsensical nonsense.
Although Lin Qian knew that Ye Zhen meant it.
“There’s still such a person existing.”
“Number One Person Under the Republic of China.”
Fang Shiming’s eyes narrowed slightly.
This value was not low.
Strong experts from the Republic of China era, all counted, he had already seen three.
Qin Lao from Headquarters counted as one.
That old lady also counted as one.
The supernatural event they encountered not long ago also counted as one.
Apart from that old lady, whose methods he hadn’t witnessed.
He had seen the abilities of the other two.
Strong beyond words.
An existence that Lin Qian called the Number One Person Under the Republic of China was definitely not easy to handle.
“You didn’t form a grudge with the opponent, right?”
If it was an irreconcilable enmity, then it had to be resolved as soon as possible.
If not, then it was fine.
“No, when I sneak attacked him, I plundered the opponent’s memory about me.”
“Now he probably doesn’t know who I am, or even why he appeared in that place.”
Lin Qian revealed a sly smile.
This was a backup plan he had prepared long ago.
At the same time, it was the worst preparation.
He originally thought he wouldn’t need it, but unexpectedly, he ended up using it.
“Your ghost can even plunder memories?”
Fang Shiming was somewhat shocked.
Ye Zhen was also somewhat surprised.
“Listen to what you’re saying, the essence of plundering is robbing, what’s the difference what you rob?”
“Just memories.”
Lin Qian waved his hand; he could even plunder time, let alone memories.
“Makes sense.” Ye Zhen nodded.
“Let’s not talk about that.”
“I have an idea now.”
Lin Qian said.
The two men’s gazes changed slightly upon hearing this:
“What idea?”
“Xu Zhou is inside the Ghost Painting, his situation is still okay now, but not necessarily later.”
“Abroad, a passage leading inside the Ghost Painting has opened. Let’s go in and take a look.”
“Although I don’t know what abroad is up to, destroying it is definitely the right move.”
Fang Shiming fell into thought.
Enter the Ghost Painting?
Very risky.
Ye Zhen had no objections.
Just the Ghost Painting, he had entered it before.
He also wanted to see how strong the Ghost Messenger and Starving Ghost were now.
At the same time, he wanted to take revenge for that Nail from before.
Honestly, if Qin Lao hadn’t appeared, forcing that ghost to take the Coffin Nail away, he might have really fallen in Da Jing City.
“Very risky.” Fang Shiming stated the truth.
“I know.” Lin Qian naturally knew that entering the Ghost Painting now was extremely risky.
But he proposed this method not just because of Xu Zhou.
“The ghost watching us is hard to deal with.”
“You should have noticed too, after our supernatural recovered, we still couldn’t find the opponent.”
“This means the opponent’s Ghost Domain is more terrifying than ours.”
“This also means, unless the opponent comes out on their own, we absolutely cannot find them.”
“Currently, I haven’t thought of a method to deal with this ghost relying on ourselves.”
Lin Qian’s words made both of them fall into thought.
Right, after their supernatural recovered, they still couldn’t find that ghost.
That ghost’s terror level was beyond words, and its Ghost Domain Strength was higher than theirs.
Being watched by such a terrifying ghost, no one could stand it.
Moreover, this ghost’s characteristic was outrageous; once caught in an accident, the supernatural would be directly suppressed.
This meant that even Ye Zhen might die.
Let alone them.
That ghost’s suppression ability could even suppress the Scapegoat’s substitute death characteristic, which was on par with the Ghost Messenger.
“You mean, entering the Ghost Painting, that ghost will most likely follow us in.”
“Once inside, because of the Ghost Painting’s unsolvable suppression of Ghost Domains, the opponent’s Ghost Domain will invalidate, and that’s when we make our move to detain them.”
“Even if we can’t detain it, we can trap it inside the Ghost Painting, thereby solving our own trouble.”
Fang Shiming said.
Lin Qian nodded, “That’s exactly what I’m thinking.”
“Plus Xu Zhou is also inside, we can save Xu Zhou along the way; the two don’t conflict.”
“And we need to probe the strength of the Ghost Messenger and Starving Ghost.”
Lin Qian’s gaze became profound;
“This is for the future.”
Fang Shiming’s pupils contracted:
“You mean, the Ghost Messenger and Starving Ghost might come out?”
Ye Zhen also sensed something was wrong.
“Not might, but definitely.”
Lin Qian said with utmost certainty.
Once Zhang Xiangguang’s Peach Garden Plan activated.
He Yuetian absolutely couldn’t suppress the Starving Ghost and Ghost Messenger.
An uncontrolled Ghost Painting had extremely strong hiding ability.
But once controlled, the Ghost Messenger and Starving Ghost could easily find He Yuetian.
Therefore, to avoid this, Zhang Xiangguang would definitely throw out the Starving Ghost and Ghost Messenger.
And the place thrown to would most likely be a Supernatural Land.
But this also meant the Ghost Messenger and Starving Ghost would enter a buffet situation again.
Sooner or later, the Starving Ghost and Ghost Messenger would break through the barrier between the Supernatural Land and reality, entering reality.
By then, everything would be too late.
“Probe them, understand just how terrifying the Ghost Messenger and Starving Ghost are, so we have a gauge in our hearts.”
“Then, we need to find methods to detain or split these two ghosts.”
No one knew how terrifying the current Starving Ghost and Ghost Messenger were.
Without making contact, testing the depths.
They couldn’t even find methods to deal with these two ghosts.
Fang Shiming fell into thought.
He seemed to be forcibly dragged by Lin Qian into the ranks of saving the world.
He actually felt that what Lin Qian said made sense now.
Before, Starving Ghost, Ghost Messenger?
What did it have to do with him? As long as they didn’t appear in his Da Yun City, they could appear wherever they wanted.
No matter how many people died, it had nothing to do with him.
Of course, he knew that once the Ghost Messenger and Starving Ghost came out, his Da Yun City couldn’t avoid it either.
But so what?
At worst, abandon armor and flee; if he couldn’t escape in the end, then die.
Have him stand at the front for everyone.
Sorry, you might be out of luck.
But now…
He felt Lin Qian made a lot of sense.
“Sigh… Hanging around with you for too long, I’ve grown more indifferent to human lives, but inexplicably developed the idea of saving the world.”
Fang Shiming sighed.
Lin Qian raised an eyebrow:
“I’m a selfish person, you didn’t learn to be selfish, but instead developed the idea of saving the world?”
“You’re really twisted.”
Fang Shiming shrugged helplessly.
Also somewhat uncomprehending.
But suddenly, both seemed to sense something.
They sharply looked at Ye Zhen.
Seeing them look over, Ye Zhen laughed heartily:
“I didn’t expect this, you guys noticed. Since you’ve discovered it, I won’t pretend anymore, I’m laying my cards on the table! That’s right! It was I, Ye, who subtly influenced you. This world is already shrouded in despair.”
“It needs the dawn of hope to dispel the despair and darkness.”
“And I, Ye Zhen, am that dawn of hope. I will lead you to sweep away all fierce ghosts in the world, so that there is no more despair and darkness in the world!”
Lin Qian: “…”
Fang Shiming: “…”
The two silently withdrew their gazes, directly ignoring this pretentious guy.
“Can you find the passage opened abroad?”
Fang Shiming asked.
Lin Qian nodded, “Yes.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Ye Zhen slapped the table, looking eager.
Fang Shiming shook his head, really not wanting to speak.
Lin Qian was also somewhat helpless.
But suddenly, the three were slightly stunned.
The three simultaneously turned their heads to look in one direction.
“All five organs are ghosts, terror level not low.”
“Strength far exceeds a normal captain-level Ghost Controller.”
Fang Shiming said.
“Stronger than A Wu and Jiang Shangbai combined after possession.”
“The king abroad?”
Although it was a Chinese face.
But traitors, he had seen them before.
Ye Zhen said with narrowed eyes.
That person was also staring at the three of them, expression somewhat hesitant, as if in disbelief.
“Indeed not simple, all five organs are ghosts, and quite a few supernatural items on him.”
There was no such person in Lin Qian’s memories.
He didn’t know this person.
This person’s strength was no less than Liu Ping’s.
Da Zhou City’s Liu Ping, a thorough anomaly.
Very strong, that was certain.
Although he hadn’t seen the opponent act.
But that attack, he had truly felt the opponent’s strength.
“Take him out?” Ye Zhen asked.
“Don’t be so murderous.”
Lin Qian pressed his hand down; he was searching his memories.
He hadn’t seen this person, but that didn’t mean he didn’t know about him.
Abroad, Chinese face, five organs inside are ghosts.
Strength far exceeding normal kings and captains…
Who this person was, a conclusion had already formed.
“He’s coming over.”
Fang Shiming’s gaze shifted.
The person opposite hesitated for a moment, as if confirming something, then walked over.
“Although I haven’t truly met you three, I’ve seen your photos.”
“I know you.”
The newcomer stood boldly in front of them.
“Let me introduce myself, I’m Zhang Sun. Before Headquarters fell, I was the internally designated captain. From the start of becoming a Ghost Controller, I’ve been carrying out missions abroad.”
“You might not have heard of me, but no matter, hearing now isn’t too late.”
Zhang Sun looked at the three sincerely.
Ye Zhen sized up this Ghost Controller named Zhang Sun.
“You’re an anomaly?” Ye Zhen asked.
“Yes, became one not long ago, still by scheming against an anomaly abroad.” Zhang Sun said.
Ye Zhen stroked his chin: “Have you detained an S-level fierce ghost?”
“Yes, abroad, a supernatural event codenamed Ghost Cry Person, I handled it. Of course, you might not know about this supernatural event.”
“That’s normal, abroad hid this event very well.”
“Because the source ghost of this supernatural event was what abroad planned to secretly send domestic, to probe or consume domestic Ghost Controllers.”
“But after I discovered it, I casually resolved it.”
“…” Ye Zhen fell somewhat silent.
“Have you taken out a king?” Ye Zhen asked again.
Zhang Sun shook his head, “No, but if needed, I can anytime.”
“One king I can crush, two I can tangle with and kill, three is a bit forced, but if they don’t flee, I can kill them all. Four… a bit difficult, but still can kill.”
“If five…”
Zhang Sun hesitated, “Desperately can take out three, the other two’s fierce ghosts will definitely revive.”
“…”
Ye Zhen couldn’t take it anymore, “Who the hell do you think you are, bragging like that!”
Zhang Sun: “???”
A baffled Zhang Sun looked blankly at Ye Zhen.
Fang Shiming burst out laughing.
Lin Qian also couldn’t help but chuckle.
Nothing to say, any normal person would know Ye Zhen’s questions were to pick a fight.
But this Zhang Sun guy, whether intentional or truly clueless.
Seriously answered them all.
Said whatever was true.
Ye Zhen looked depressed.
Zhang Sun was still confused.
Lin Qian waved his hand, “Ignore him, he just wants to find a reason to take you out, don’t take it to heart.”
Zhang Sun was stunned, then broke out in cold sweat.
“That… this joke isn’t really funny.” Zhang Sun said somewhat forcibly.
Ye Zhen sneered: “Joke? You really think so?”
Zhang Sun’s pupils contracted; at this moment, the three revealed meaningful smiles as they looked at him.
In his eyes, the three’s current smiles were as terrifying as could be.
