Chapter 58: Pale Legs Outside The Door
As the crashed fierce ghost was pulled out.
The fierce ghost outside the door gradually reduced the frequency of impacting the gate.
The opponent had lost its target.
Soon, the gate no longer made any noise.
The eerie fierce ghost standing at the doorway slowly turned around, its figure gradually becoming illusory, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only a string of footprints remained on the stairs to prove that the opponent had been there.
The opponent seemed unwilling to stay long in this wooden building.
The fierce ghost had left.
But at this moment, the atmosphere was somewhat eerie.
Four gazes stared straight at Lin Qian.
Xu Zhou looked worried and didn’t dare to speak.
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yuan Xue, Fatty, Alice, and that little boy.
“What do you want?”
Lin Qian lifted the ghost in his hand.
Fatty’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head, not letting the opponent see his expression.
Alice swallowed, as if the thing Lin Qian was holding in his hand was a medium-rare steak sprinkled with delicious sauce.
There was greed and desire in her eyes.
But this greed could not drive the opponent to risk their life.
Of course, the biggest reason was that they couldn’t beat Lin Qian.
Fatty and Alice didn’t dare to speak.
But suddenly, a voice rang out:
“Want!”
Lin Qian’s eyes instantly narrowed, looking at the person who spoke.
Yuan Xue was looking at Lin Qian with a firm expression.
“You said that only by controlling a ghost is there a chance to get out alive. I want to live, and they want to live too.”
Xu Zhou’s heart sank, and he quickly looked at Lin Qian.
When he saw Lin Qian’s expressionless face, his heart skipped a beat.
Something was about to happen.
“Aren’t you afraid of death?”
Lin Qian sized up this skinny woman.
From her bone structure, this person was also a beautiful woman before.
Although now she had become extremely skinny due to long-term malnutrition, she still gave people a sense of morbid beauty.
“It’s because I’m afraid of death that I want to live.”
Yuan Xue stared at Lin Qian, her eyes filled with determination and desire besides firmness.
At this moment, there was no impurity in the opponent’s eyes, only the desire and determination for survival.
Lin Qian looked at Yuan Xue, gave her a deep look, and nodded, “Interesting.”
“You’re not bad.”
“I can let you control a ghost, but not this one.”
Lin Qian threw the fierce ghost to the side, and Fatty, Alice, and the little boy’s gazes followed that fierce ghost.
Thud.
The fierce ghost landed.
And Yuan Xue’s gaze had been fixed on Lin Qian from beginning to end.
She knew very well that whether one could control a ghost never depended on whether there was a ghost, but on whether this person was willing to help them control a fierce ghost!
“Before entering that mansion, I will help you, even help all of you, control fierce ghosts.”
“But the premise is that you have to behave.”
“I can let you control fierce ghosts, and naturally I can also make you lose them.”
Yuan Xue’s eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded.
Lin Qian glanced at Fatty, Alice, and the little boy.
His gaze vaguely glanced at the fierce ghost he had thrown aside, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
“Alright, let’s continue.”
Lin Qian walked toward the iron door, “By the way, is there really no ghost inside this wooden building?”
He looked at Xu Zhou and asked.
Xu Zhou came back to his senses and shook his head, “Not sure, at least from the time we arrived here until now, we haven’t encountered any ghosts.”
“There probably aren’t any.”
Lin Qian nodded, indicating he understood.
But he felt a bit more vigilant in his heart.
There was definitely something wrong with this wooden building.
Although he didn’t know much about ghosts.
He also knew that door blocking by a fierce ghost would never be like this.
Once the door impacting stopped, the opponent immediately left.
This was simply impossible.
Once the killing pattern of a fierce ghost was triggered, it couldn’t be shaken off in a short time.
If it were that easy to shake off, the ghost wouldn’t be so terrifying.
In the original work, door blocking incidents had happened before.
On the night Yang Jian invaded the ghost post office, he encountered it.
Did you see that ghost leave easily?
A place where even ghosts wouldn’t stay long—if there was nothing strange about it, Lin Qian wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Lin Qian unlocked the chains, then opened the iron door. Without paying attention to the gazes behind him, he walked straight through the iron door and disappeared at the staircase corner.
The supernatural power of that fierce ghost had already been weakened by a portion.
Next, this ghost would become easier and easier to deal with.
Until he could easily suppress the opponent.
How many ghosts were inside the opponent?
Unclear, but probably not too many.
A few more times, and he could completely devour that ghost.
Walking out of the wooden building, Lin Qian looked up at the unchanging gray sky.
The sky never rained, only paper ash fell.
Like a world after death, those paper ashes were like paper money burned for the deceased.
“Ghost painting, the eerie world within the painting.”
Lin Qian touched his pocket, inside which was an oil lamp wrapped in gold foil.
“I wonder what the situation outside is like now.”
Lin Qian thought this when suddenly his gaze sharpened. He frowned and looked toward an alley ahead.
Just now, something white seemed to flash by in that alley.
The speed was too fast, and he didn’t see clearly what it was.
He only saw a flash of snow white.
“What thing was that?”
Lin Qian quickly walked to the alley and looked inside.
The alley was narrow and blocked, with chaotic buildings making it irregular.
Buildings on both sides protruded here and there.
The entire alley was so cluttered that even a person couldn’t pass through.
“Did I see wrong?”
Lin Qian was suspicious in his heart, but he immediately dismissed this idea.
He couldn’t have seen wrong.
Something definitely passed by.
White…
Lin Qian’s gaze shrank slightly, suddenly thinking of something.
His expression became grave.
In the ghost painting, seeing any abnormality meant you might have been targeted by a ghost.
Lin Qian had to suspect this.
From arriving here until now, he had only encountered two ghosts in total.
The first ghost, he didn’t touch.
The second ghost was the fierce ghost he was dealing with now.
“Trouble.”
Lin Qian retreated a few steps, vigilant of the surroundings, “Can’t slowly plunder fierce ghosts like this anymore.”
For him, ghosts weren’t scary; what was scary was the female ghost.
He couldn’t dodge any attack from a female ghost.
Lin Qian looked around and found no abnormalities. His eyes flickered slightly.
A ghost face mask quickly appeared on his face.
He had already made up his mind.
Quick battle, quick decision—unless he couldn’t hold on, he absolutely wouldn’t go back.
He couldn’t delay too much time in the ghost painting.
Not to mention, after dealing with this ghost, he still had to check out that mansion.
After all, this was an opportunity.
Lin Qian quickly ran toward the place where that ghost appeared.
It had to be said that this ghost’s speed was really fast.
The opponent had just left, and he followed right after, yet he still hadn’t caught up.
Footsteps sounded on the street, and footprints appeared one by one.
Lin Qian ran while staying vigilant of the surroundings.
Suddenly.
The surroundings became extremely quiet.
No, it wasn’t the surroundings that were quiet, but his perception of external sounds had slowed down.
Without any hesitation, Lin Qian sidestepped.
A bone-white arm brushed past him.
“I knew it, you ghostly thing never attacks head-on.”
Lin Qian sidestepped, then quickly turned and grabbed the opponent.
He directly used his suppression quota to suppress one fierce ghost on the opponent.
Without hesitation, he activated his ability.
A chilling cold directly acted on the opponent.
Sizzle~!
An eerie sound rang out, and a pool of black liquid appeared on the opponent’s arm, quickly merging into its body.
At the same time, Lin Qian felt a balance form inside him.
A ghost had entered his body and balanced with the other fierce ghosts.
But as soon as the balance formed, this ghost began to revive rapidly.
“Such fast speed!”
Chilling cold rose from Lin Qian’s body in an instant.
This speed was faster than the fierce ghost revival after a ghost controller’s death!
Lin Qian didn’t dare delay and kicked the fierce ghost.
This ghost never learned.
The opponent didn’t even dodge and was directly kicked over by him.
Lin Qian quickly retreated, and the ghost messenger hurriedly suppressed the reviving fierce ghost.
Immediately after, without hesitation, he reached his palm into the wound on his abdomen.
With a fierce tug, he actually pulled out a corpse.
It was a ghost, the fierce ghost he had just plundered.
He directly plundered again.
The fierce ghost was enveloped in chilling cold, and the corpse visibly began to melt, directly merging into his body.
The crashed fierce ghost’s terror level was less than B-grade.
Lin Qian didn’t even have the thought of sensing this ghost’s killing pattern; he directly pulled out this crashed ghost and threw it roadside.
The fierce ghost was discarded on the street in an eerie pose.
But Lin Qian didn’t care at all.
At this moment, the kicked-over fierce ghost slowly stood up.
The supernatural power on the opponent was obviously much weaker.
Even Lin Qian could vaguely sense the supernatural power emanating from the opponent.
This hadn’t been the case before.
The fierce ghost’s terror level had been reduced.
His ability perfectly countered ghosts with multiple ghosts inside.
Lin Qian moved his neck, and a pair of eerie eyes blinked slightly.
A few more times, and this ghost would become extremely weak.
The fierce ghost stood up, and its figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Like the Flying Thunder God in anime, a bone-white palm appeared before him, grabbing toward his eyes.
Extremely fast; Lin Qian’s eyes turned slightly, and under the enhancement of supernatural power, his arm left an afterimage as he grabbed the incoming arm.
The fierce ghost’s attack followed smoothly.
Lin Qian’s figure flickered imperceptibly.
Supernatural evasion successful.
Plunder activated.
Lin Qian kicked out, and the fierce ghost flew backward. While flying back, its back suddenly tore open with a death robe, and a ferocious terrifying wound quietly appeared.
The wound was extremely long, from the neck all the way to the buttocks.
The wound was ferocious, pitch black, with something wriggling inside.
Lin Qian’s eyes moved slightly as he sensed the plundered fierce ghost inside him.
He was startled.
“Hit the jackpot?”
Inside him, the plundered fierce ghost’s terror level was directly approaching A-grade.
But terror level wasn’t the main thing; what mattered was the killing pattern and ability.
The ability was very strange.
It was the ability for that ghost to instantly appear before him.
And how to trigger this ability?
This was even more outrageous.
As long as you had a ghost on you, any pattern could trigger this ability.
For example, the ghost performer on him—its killing pattern now was that not looking at him would trigger the killing pattern, and looking at him would also trigger it.
And he could use the ghost performer’s killing pattern to trigger this ability without delaying the ghost performer’s killing.
Lin Qian’s throat moved.
This ghost’s ability alone was useless.
If it was just this ghost, it would be harmless because the killing pattern couldn’t be triggered at all.
But if it controlled other ghosts…
Then this ghost would be Flying Thunder God activated.
It could instantly appear before the person or ghost that triggered the killing pattern.
“Lucky this ghost doesn’t have remote attack ability.”
The fierce ghost on the opposite side slowly stood up.
A pitch-black crack behind it was extremely eerie.
Black liquid oozed from the opponent’s body.
Immediately after, a thick corpse stench spread.
The fierce ghost’s body suddenly swelled.
One eerie human head after another emerged from its skin.
Lin Qian saw this scene and was momentarily stunned, “What is this situation?”
But before Lin Qian could think about what had happened.
The black liquid flowing from the opponent’s body suddenly emitted an even thicker corpse stench.
The corpse stench spread to the surroundings in an instant.
Lin Qian’s eyes sharpened, “This…”
The ghosts were stirring.
The ghost messenger’s supernatural power was also stirring, and even the crashed ghost he had thrown aside was gradually emanating chilling cold from its body.
“What a joke!”
The crashed ghost was actually starting to revive!
“Damn, something’s wrong.”
Without any hesitation, Lin Qian grabbed the crashed ghost and unhesitatingly jumped onto the rooftop, rushing toward the old wooden building.
The corpse stench was still spreading.
Lin Qian suddenly felt terrified, “Fuck, played too big!”
While running at height, Lin Qian could clearly see that on several nearby streets, the originally quiet streets suddenly had figures walking out from the alleys.
Figures walked out from the alleys with clear targets, heading straight this way.
Such figures appeared on every street.
Undoubtedly, those figures were ghosts!
Black liquid continuously flowed from the fierce ghost, slowly covering the street.
The thick corpse stench grew even heavier, like a septic tank exploding in front of people.
The entire street, even the surrounding streets, could smell this pungent, disgusting, foul odor.
Lin Qian didn’t dare to stay; the situation had lost control.
His speed suddenly increased, and in just a few breaths, Lin Qian saw the door of the old wooden building.
Without hesitation, Lin Qian leaped high, landed with a roll carrying the fierce ghost, and rushed directly into the wooden building.
He sprinted all the way toward the rooftop.
And just as he passed the seventh floor, in the corridor, an old wooden door suddenly made violent impacting sounds.
Bang, bang bang~!
Lin Qian’s heart chilled, “This wooden building really has a ghost!”
But at this moment, he didn’t dare to investigate and quickly rushed to the rooftop.
Xu Zhou and Yuan Xue didn’t know what had happened; they only heard Fatty shouting to them that the person was back.
They quickly got alert.
In less than a minute, a person wearing an eerie mask suddenly appeared in the corridor.
The moment he saw that eerie mask, Xu Zhou’s heart jumped to his throat.
Chilling cold surrounded him, supernatural power ready to erupt at any time.
“Close the door!”
But before Xu Zhou could react, that person rushed directly onto the rooftop, holding a ‘person’ emanating chilling cold in his hand.
Xu Zhou was stunned, then reacted and quickly closed the door, wrapping chains around the iron door.
And just as they closed the door, a flash of snow white appeared.
A pale hand without any blood color was directly blocked outside the iron door.
Bang.
The iron door trembled violently.
The moment he heard the iron door impacting sound, Lin Qian was startled.
How was that possible? There shouldn’t have been a ghost chasing him from behind.
Lin Qian turned back sharply; the mask that was about to disappear instantly covered his entire face again.
He stared deadly at the ‘person’ standing outside the iron door.
White, a dazzling white; a white umbrella covered the entire head.
Wearing nothing, skin fair, figure flawless.
A pair of long white legs, long as life.
But at this moment, no one was appreciating this sudden beauty.
Because this naked woman holding an umbrella slowly revealed her head.
Terrifying, horrifying, spine-chilling!
