Chapter 8: Escaping With One’s Life
“Good, good, good!”
He Liansheng laughed angrily instead of getting angry, looking at the faceless corpse in front of him.
He directly abandoned his own body and escaped using a supernatural curse.
After this move from the opponent, he himself was not far from revival either.
The curse of the Ghost Performer.
Borrowing a Body to Rebirth.
The Faceless Person walked to He Liansheng’s side, “Still chasing?”
He Liansheng glanced at the Faceless Person, “No way to chase anymore. I don’t know what medium the opponent used to break out of the body.”
“That driver?”
The Faceless Person reminded.
He Liansheng frowned and pondered for a moment, then Ghost Domain activated.
Ten minutes later, He Liansheng and the Faceless Person looked at the driver on the ground who died with eyes wide open.
“What a ruthless kid. The opponent at least helped him survive.”
Looking at the driver’s torn-open stomach, the blood footprints on the ground, and the disappeared taxi.
It was obvious that the kid came out from here.
“Ten minutes, too late.”
He Liansheng had a deep understanding of the speed of that taxi.
“Get ready.” He Liansheng sighed.
As for what to prepare, He Liansheng didn’t say, but the Faceless Person knew what he meant.
The wind howled.
A battle-damaged taxi was speeding on the highway.
“Old thing, you’re not leaving me any way to live, huh? Just wait.”
Lin Qian stared ahead, his face gloomy.
The bloody smell was thick and pungent, but Lin Qian didn’t care at all.
The mask on his face had long disappeared.
“I probably can’t be considered human now.”
His current body was completely constructed from supernatural elements.
The Ghost Performer’s killing pattern was very eerie, allowing Borrowing a Body to Rebirth.
But this was not good news.
His Fierce Ghost revival had been advanced.
Sensing the situation inside his body, blood flowed slowly, heartbeat at fifteen beats per minute.
No different from a Living Dead.
Lin Qian estimated that the Fierce Ghost would revive in at most three months.
This meant he could live at most three months.
His original two-year lifespan was directly reduced to three months.
Lin Qian let out a cold chuckle.
There was no point in trash-talking now.
He looked ahead; the cold wind blowing in couldn’t affect him at all.
For that dead Driver, he could only say sorry.
It wasn’t that he was ruthless, but there was no other way.
If he didn’t do this, he couldn’t survive at all.
From the moment he saw the Faceless Person, he knew what he had to do.
Lin Qian drove the car, not heading directly to Da Chang City, but detouring straight to Da Jiang City.
Going to Da Chang City now had no meaning.
Taiping Ancient Town.
“Killed?”
At the entrance of the Ancient Town, the Old Woman looked up at He Liansheng and the Faceless Person who had returned.
He Liansheng shook his head, “He ran.”
“How is that possible?” The Old Woman’s first reaction upon hearing the news was disbelief.
He Liansheng and the Faceless Person actually failed?
What a joke!
But soon, after hearing He Liansheng recount the chase, the Old Woman immediately looked at the Old Man squatting not far away.
“Old thing, the deadly feud is already formed. You’d better pray that kid doesn’t come for revenge later!”
Because of them, the opponent’s parents died.
Now they went to chase and kill the opponent again.
But they let him escape.
This grudge was huge.
The Old Man’s face flickered uncertainly; he didn’t expect his one act of kindness to lead to this situation.
But at that time, the kid was clearly an ordinary person.
Why did he suddenly become a Ghost Controller?
“Alright, what’s done is done; we can only be on guard now.”
“This time, that kid was meant to survive.”
He Liansheng sighed; the matter had happened, and the worst outcome had appeared.
“The Ghost Performer’s ability is too eerie. To be honest, we didn’t expect this method either.”
He Liansheng said.
The Old Woman’s eyes were gloomy, staring unkindly at the Old Man, but soon she withdrew her gaze.
She said nothing more and turned to enter the Ancient Town.
The hidden danger was planted; it depended on their luck afterward.
Da Jiang City, five o’clock in the morning.
An out-of-control taxi forcibly crashed through the Toll Station, then sped all the way, plunging headfirst into the Artificial River.
With a bang, the river water splashed up.
But it quickly returned to calm.
A few minutes later, a figure crawled out of the water in a sorry state. The figure wore a white mask with a eerie eye on it.
“Cough cough…”
The figure coughed heavily, and the mask on his face slowly sank into the flesh and disappeared.
The cold river water was spat out.
Lin Qian rolled over and lay on the riverbank, looking at the faint white light about to appear on the horizon.
“What terrible luck.”
Lin Qian rested for a while before sitting up, rubbing his ice-cold face.
“The Fierce Ghost will revive in less than three months; I need to find a way to extend my lifespan.”
After this mess, if he couldn’t find a Method of Delaying Fierce Ghost Revival, he was definitely done for.
He didn’t go to Da Chang City; Da Chang City now was extremely dangerous, and those undying old things wouldn’t know he came to Da Jiang City.
Although he controlled the Fierce Ghost in Da Jiang City, getting closer to the Ghost Performer would accelerate his own Fierce Ghost revival.
But the more dangerous the place, the safer it was.
That Ghost Performer might have already left.
At least now, he didn’t sense any abnormality.
Lin Qian walked along the riverbank toward the main road.
He was thinking about one thing.
Whether to directly plunder a Fierce Ghost to suppress the Fierce Ghost revival, or find a Fierce Ghost in conflict with his own to plunder.
There was little description of the Ghost Performer in the Original Work.
The Ghost Opera Stage was in Taiping Ancient Town, the Opera Troupe’s ghost was in Caesar Grand Hotel.
There was also a Black Eight Ghost Performer on the Ghost Ship.
The stool was in the time-disordered Wang Family Old House in Da Dong City.
The Ghost Play was thoroughly dismantled.
And no one knew what ghost could counter the Ghost Play.
Lin Qian directly gave up the second option.
He could only find a ghost to control and suppress his own Fierce Ghost revival.
Compared to other Ghost Controllers, Lin Qian knew exactly what to do when his Fierce Ghost was about to revive.
First find a place to rest and calm the Fierce Ghost’s agitation.
Then find a ghost in Da Jiang City.
He had already seen how powerful the plunder ability was.
Even a Ghost Performer like that could be plundered; there was no reason weaker ghosts couldn’t.
……
“President, it’s confirmed to be a Ghost Controller.”
In Da Jiang City, inside a Villa.
Bang~!
The white ball steadily pocketed the Black Eight.
“Oh? Really a Ghost Controller?”
A man with a slightly pale face and an extremely heavy perfume scent put down the cue stick and asked in surprise.
Next to the man, a woman in a deep-colored professional hip-hugging skirt, wearing black stockings and black-rimmed glasses, handed over a few photos.
“According to our investigation, this car came from Dayuan City.”
“It was already out of control in Dayuan City.”
“Then it stopped on the highway for less than twenty minutes, restarted, and headed straight to Da Jiang City.”
“Moreover, the car was still out of control. When passing the Da Jiang City Toll Station, it broke through at three hundred kilometers per hour.”
“Finally, it drove into the Artificial River.”
“But the person driving this car didn’t die.”
The woman pointed to the photo, “This person is the one driving that taxi.”
The man looked at the photo; it showed a Young Man crawling out of the river.
The first photo only captured the Young Man’s back.
But the second captured the Young Man’s full face.
In the photo, the Young Man was lying on the riverbank, looking at the sky, his face terribly pale.
No blood color at all.
“From the photos, you can’t tell he’s a Ghost Controller.” The man tossed the photos onto the pool table.
“You can’t tell from the photos, but you can from the experiences.”
The woman took out a file.
The man took it and flipped through it.
“Isn’t this the supernatural event in Tian Kai Residential Area? Why are you giving me this?”
The woman pushed up her black-rimmed glasses upon hearing this, her gaze falling on the photos on the pool table.
The man was stunned, then also looked at the photos on the pool table.
“This person is named Lin Qian, living in Tian Kai Residential Area.”
“The supernatural event in Tian Kai Residential Area happened at four o’clock this morning, but the surveillance didn’t capture Lin Qian leaving the Residential Community.”
“Moreover, I checked Lin Qian’s recent travel records; he had no itinerary leaving Da Jiang City.”
“Yet he came from Dayuan City.”
Hearing this, the man shook his head, “This doesn’t prove anything.”
Although the man had already determined Lin Qian was a Ghost Controller.
After all, driving an out-of-control taxi into the Artificial River and surviving unscathed proved he wasn’t ordinary.
But it still needed real confirmation.
The woman smiled and took out another photo.
“This is a photo taken by the camera in the opposite building at three o’clock this morning.”
The man took the photo.
The photo showed a person jumping from a building; it was somewhat blurry, probably due to the distance.
But it was still discernible that it was a Young Person.
“There’s also surveillance footage here.” The woman took out her mobile phone.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the phone.
The phone showed a video; the woman played it.
The video started normally, filming the Tian Kai Residential Area opposite.
But at three o’clock, the glass of the Thirty-sixth Floor room opposite suddenly shattered, and then a Young Man rushed out.
The Young Man fell and quickly disappeared from the surveillance footage.
“We enhanced the resolution and restored the video; it can be confirmed this is Lin Qian.”
“President, how could a person who was in Da Jiang City at three o’clock come back from Dayuan City?”
“An ordinary person couldn’t do that.”
The man watched the video until it ended.
He nodded, “Confirmed as a Ghost Controller.”
“Arrange for someone to make contact. A wild Ghost Controller is highly sought after now.”
“We’ve already located Lin Qian; the one assigned for contact is Wu Xun.”
“They’ve probably met by now.” The woman smiled, speaking in a calm tone.
Hearing this, the man smiled, reached out, and slipped his hand under the woman’s skirt, “You’re making things easier for me more and more.”
The woman let out a muffled hum but didn’t resist; instead, she leaned into him.
“It’s all thanks to the President’s usual guidance.”
The man’s smile widened; he directly picked up the woman and walked toward the Bedroom.
