Chapter 48: Entering Ghost Domain Again
Taiping Ancient Town.
The old woman sewing clothes at home suddenly trembled, and the supernatural heavy bone needle pierced her finger, with a rot instantly spreading along the finger.
The old woman stared blankly at her rotting finger, a sense of unease rising inexplicably in her heart.
“Old Liu Tou, is that you?” The old woman’s lips trembled, her eyes full of disbelief as she muttered to herself.
……
……
The supernatural had not fully calmed down yet, so Lin Qian did not immediately deal with those fierce ghosts that had begun to revive.
Do not forget, this was still within the Knocking Ghost’s ghost domain.
Although he had kicked the Knocking Ghost away with one foot, it had no effect on the Knocking Ghost.
Lin Qian already knew the terror level of the Knocking Ghost; with his current strength, he could not handle the Knocking Ghost.
Lin Qian also deeply understood the terror of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.
Just one ghost split from it had such a high terror level.
Recalling the original work, at that time, Yang Jian had relied on tricks to detain the Knocking Ghost when he was in the Island Country.
This showed the terror of the Knocking Ghost.
Moreover, at that time, the Knocking Ghost’s ghost domain contained quite a few fierce ghosts.
Among them, the most terrifying was the Head Balloon incident in that city at Caesar Grand Hotel.
It was said that later, because the Knocking Ghost was detained, the Head Balloon found its puzzle piece, turned into a man in a suit, and even infiltrated the Spirit Elimination Society.
Lin Qian exhaled, and the supernatural on his body gradually began to calm down.
In this confrontation today, he knew where his strength stood.
Compared to the Republican Era old man, he was still far behind; handling an S-level supernatural event was basically impossible.
But handling an A-level supernatural event was completely no problem.
A-level and S-level might only differ by one level, but their nature was completely different.
The judgment for A-level mainly looked at the harm level, not the terror level.
S-level was different; once a supernatural event was judged as S-level, both the harm level and terror level could easily destroy a country.
For supernatural events of this level, once encountered, one could basically wait to die.
Feeling the fierce ghost within him gradually being suppressed.
Lin Qian vaguely sensed something between.
He slowly raised his head, and a strange scene emerged in his eyes.
It was a dim and gloomy corridor with eerie paintings hanging on the walls.
Dark red carpet spread from the corridor to an unknown place.
Rooms lined the corridor, old and dark red.
There seemed to be room number plates on them, but they could not be seen clearly.
This was a bizarre corridor, unknown where it existed.
And on the corridor, at some unknown time, a group emerged from the darkness; they were people dressed in performer clothes with eerie expressions.
Counting carefully, surprisingly, the number could not be counted, yet clearly there were not many people.
But suddenly, a person in performer clothes dragging on the ground from the crowd ahead fiercely turned back to look.
The scene ended instantly, and Lin Qian’s eyes narrowed, “Caesar Grand Hotel, Ghost Performer!”
He knew he had been targeted by a new Ghost Performer, and it was the one from Caesar Grand Hotel not far from Da Jiang City.
That side had noticed; what about the Ghost Performers in other places?
Da Dong City, Wang Family Old House, the Ghost Ship abroad, and some places he did not know.
Da da da~!
Suddenly, muffled footsteps sounded around.
Lin Qian’s eyes narrowed, and he, who had been sitting on the ground resting, quickly stood up.
A pair of eyes instantly turned pitch black.
The surrounding darkness was nonexistent under this pair of eyes.
He saw the source of the footsteps!
They were rotting, swollen walking corpses.
Ghost Slaves!
Lin Qian’s brow slightly raised; he actually saw acquaintances.
Two, Chen Ping, and Li Yong.
Chen Ping was actually dead?
The footsteps were dense and rapidly approaching; looking around, there were surprisingly dozens of Ghost Slaves, some still wearing school uniforms.
From the degree of rot, they had been dead for quite some time.
Lin Qian scanned the surroundings, and soon his gaze sharpened, spotting a terrifying existence.
It was an old man in a black long gown, an old man with a dead, numb expression.
Knocking Ghost!
Lin Qian slightly narrowed his eyes; it seemed there were no living people left in this ghost domain.
The only living person was him.
So, the Knocking Ghost had come for him.
“I can’t provoke you now; we’ll talk later.”
Lin Qian shouted at the Knocking Ghost old man, then picked up the old man’s corpse pierced by the shovel.
Ghost domain unfolded; he would leave here first, and collect the remaining ghosts later.
The Dawn Organization members, plus the ghost he had discarded, he had to recover them all.
Ghost domain opened, and Lin Qian disappeared from the ghost domain in the blink of an eye.
Da da da, footsteps dense, outstretched arms grabbed at nothing.
The ghost domain fell into eerie silence, and soon those arms retracted.
Footsteps sounded again in the darkness, gradually fading away.
Dong, dong dong……
Knocking sounds suddenly rang out, wandering and drifting in the ghost domain.
Dong, dong dong……
……
“Having a ghost domain is great; I can casually enter and exit the Knocking Ghost’s ghost domain.”
On a street in Da Jiang City, Lin Qian’s figure suddenly appeared.
The surrounding traffic lights flickered strangely once, then returned to normal.
He put down the old man’s corpse in his hand and looked at the old man who still refused to close his eyes even in death.
The death robe on his body was full of blood, but due to the shovel suppressing the supernatural, the blood on the death robe had stopped flowing.
But Lin Qian was certain that if he removed the shovel, this death robe would immediately revive, and even the fierce ghost in the old man’s body would instantly revive.
“The supernatural intensity of the shovel is very high; no wonder it almost smashed me to death.”
“However, it’s not a coffin nail after all; the suppression power on the supernatural is not enough.”
Looking at the shovel gradually falling silent, Lin Qian knew clearly that this shovel, having lost its owner and fully revived in the previous confrontation, would eventually sink into silence.
When that time came, it would also be the time for the death robe and the fierce ghost in the old man to revive.
“Wait for me to recover, I’ll pull the ghost off you, leave you a complete corpse, find you a better graveyard later, burn a few pretty paper figures; you’ll have someone to talk to down there.”
“Don’t worry, later I’ll send all your old friends down to see you; you won’t be so lonely, be patient.”
“I won’t kill He Yin’er; she has no grudge against me, I can spare her life, but if she seeks revenge on me later, don’t blame me.”
Lin Qian sighed, ghost domain unfolded again, and he began searching nearby for Ye Feng.
Soon, he found Ye Feng sitting roadside, looking worried.
He did not hesitate and directly brought him over.
Ye Feng still did not know what had happened; when he reacted, the surroundings had changed, and he saw Lin Qian and a corpse pierced by a shovel.
“Arrange people to come detain it, use more gold, don’t be stingy; once this ghost revives, it’s no joke.”
“President, are you okay?”
Ye Feng quickly stood up and walked to Lin Qian’s side, looking him up and down.
The supernatural was a bit restless, and even he could clearly feel it.
“President, your condition…”
Lin Qian’s condition was obviously not good.
Seeing Ye Feng’s worried expression, Lin Qian waved his hand, “Just some fierce ghost restlessness; it will be suppressed soon.”
“Contact people quickly, best to bring a few golden coffins.”
“I still need to go in once; I lost a ghost inside, and I need to recover the ghosts from those Dawn Organization members; these are resources for us to grow stronger later.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng was stunned, “Going in again?”
Lin Qian nodded, “Don’t worry, with my current strength, as long as I don’t clash head-on with the Knocking Ghost, taking a few supernatural attacks from it is no problem at all.”
“Alright, hurry up.”
Without waiting for Ye Feng to say anything, Lin Qian activated the ghost domain again and re-entered the Knocking Ghost’s ghost domain.
He had just come out, and now entering again.
Lin Qian disappeared too quickly.
So fast that Ye Feng did not even have a chance to say support was arriving soon.
He sighed and quickly took out his phone to call for people, while reporting Lin Qian’s news.
But at this moment.
“Lin Qian is still in the ghost domain?”
A strange footsteps sounded, followed by a question.
Ye Feng instantly got goosebumps; he turned back sharply and saw a strange man.
But the other was wearing an International Police uniform.
“Ghost domain?”
“Support from headquarters?”
Ye Feng guessed slightly in his mind.
“Are you the support sent from headquarters?”
“Yes, I’m Zhao San. Lin Qian is still in the ghost domain?” The middle-aged man asked again.
The middle-aged man’s sharp gaze fell on the corpse roadside pierced by the shovel.
Just one glance, and he realized this was definitely a fierce ghost.
Moreover, the terror level was not low, and no measures had been taken to suppress its revival.
This meant this ghost could revive at any time.
“Mm, President just went in again.” Ye Feng said after a moment of silence.
“What?”
The middle-aged man’s attention instantly shifted from the fierce ghost, looking at Ye Feng in disbelief, “What joke are you making? He went in again?”
Ye Feng was somewhat helpless, “That’s right, President went in again; he said he was going to recover fierce ghosts.”
“Nonsense!” The middle-aged man’s face darkened instantly, “Doesn’t he know how important he is?”
“As his subordinate, why didn’t you advise him?”
Ye Feng frowned; this sounded so damn familiar.
Why did it sound just like Wang Xiaoqiang talking before?
Advise him?
Damn, if I could advise him, would I still be standing here getting nagged by you?
“You’d better pray Lin Qian is fine, or ten lives of yours wouldn’t be enough to compensate!”
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and his figure vanished instantly.
Ye Feng’s mouth twitched wildly; damn, why do you all blame it on him one by one?
Am I not a ghost controller who controls two ghosts?
No face?
“Not angry, not angry, not getting mad at idiots; getting sick and no one to treat it.”
Ye Feng breathed deeply, as if this could soothe the stifling anger in his heart.
He took deep breaths, while taking out his phone and quickly dialing Wang Xiaoqiang’s number.
Almost as soon as the call connected, the other side picked up.
“Has Lin Qian been rescued?” Wang Xiaoqiang asked immediately.
Ye Feng’s mouth twitched again; why do you all only care about the president?
Not caring about him?
Tired, destroy it all.
Ye Feng had completely given up.
Of course, this was just talk.
He knew what mattered most.
He quickly explained the situation here.
After he finished, Wang Xiaoqiang breathed a long sigh of relief, “Since he came out once, that means no problem.”
“Wait for me in place; I’ll arrange golden coffins right away, at most fifteen minutes. Remember, do not touch anything on that ghost.”
“Be careful of fierce ghost revival.”
After speaking, Wang Xiaoqiang hung up immediately.
Ye Feng let out a long breath and looked around; this street was fairly remote, not many people.
He looked at the old man, eyes narrowing slightly, “Another Ghost Shouyi; the terror level looks much higher than the one on me.”
Ye Feng touched the death robe under his clothes; the style was different, his death robe was black, while the other’s was blood red, looking like it was just fished out of blood.
“Can I wear two death robes?”
Ye Feng stroked his chin, looking at the death robe on the old man.
Ye Feng did not know that the death robe on the old man was a fully revived ghost; once the suppression was lost, the death robe would immediately revive.
If he knew, he would not dare think of wearing another death robe.
Headquarters support arrived first, but not just one; the first to arrive had directly come over using ghost domain when nearing Da Jiang City.
The other support and Circle of Friends support were still behind.
At this moment, inside the Knocking Ghost’s ghost domain.
Lin Qian had re-entered the ghost domain.
And the moment he entered, the knocking sound wandering in the ghost domain instantly stopped.
“Targeted.”
The moment the knocking stopped, Lin Qian was almost certain he had been targeted again.
“Good thing I didn’t think of plundering the other’s supernatural when I kicked the Knocking Ghost.”
“Otherwise…”
Otherwise, it would not be the old man dead, but the old man dragging his corpse back to Taiping Ancient Town to report.
In the previous confrontation, if he had plundered the Knocking Ghost’s supernatural, unless he controlled it all, he would be 100% in trouble.
Pulling aggro from the Knocking Ghost and confronting that old man would really be courting death.
The ghost domain was deep and eerie.
He slightly turned his eyes and saw quite a few Ghost Slaves.
From these Ghost Slaves, one could see how many people had died by the Knocking Ghost’s hand.
And this was only those turned into Ghost Slaves by the Knocking Ghost; some had not even been turned.
“Dawn Organization had twelve people; Li Yong’s ghost is suppressed on me, three died early, and their ghosts are who knows where Li Yong put them.”
“Twelve minus four is eight, plus the one I discarded to take the supernatural attack, there are nine ghosts here.”
“Counting the Knocking Ghost, there are ten ghosts here.”
“Wow, impressive.”
Lin Qian’s eyes flickered; it seemed he had to detain the fierce ghosts in batches.
He could not stay too long in the Knocking Ghost’s ghost domain; being attacked once by this thing was really uncomfortable.
Once caught, if he did not choose to plunder the other’s ghost, it would really be hard to escape.
Lin Qian did not plan to plunder the Knocking Ghost’s supernatural.
His current killing pattern was perfect, terror level sufficient, and moreover, his Ghost Messenger could just right suppress the Ghost Performer and Killer Ghost; adding a Knocking Ghost supernatural might make the Ghost Messenger unable to suppress.
No way, what he plundered was only the Ghost Messenger’s current suppression power over three ghosts.
The Ghost Messenger’s overall terror level had not reached an unsolvable degree, and the supernatural he plundered was not unsolvable.
This was a drawback of the plunder ability; the plundered supernatural was only in the state at the time of plundering.
Moreover, what he plundered was not the Ghost Messenger’s main killing pattern, just suppression power, unable to improve suppression power through detaining fierce ghosts.
Lin Qian shook his head, no longer thinking about these irrelevant things.
He looked into the distance where white mist enveloped the entire street; this ghost definitely had to be recovered.
Even if he did not use it, he could give it to his subordinate members.
Or use it for resource transactions.
Ghosts with ghost domains were extremely rare.
Lin Qian’s figure flashed and vanished, appearing directly in the mist.
He waved his hand to stir the mist, da da da.
In the quiet white mist, suddenly a faint footsteps sounded.
Ghost, coming.
