Chapter 101: Controlling the Second Ghost

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Controlling the Second Ghost

Yang Jian could be very certain that at least two ghosts resided within the body of the old woman before him.

The Headless Ghost Shadow he had personally released at the beginning… and the corpse water from Ye Jun’s body.

As for whether there was a third ghost inside her body, Yang Jian could not confirm.

Because he had only seen the characteristics of two kinds of fierce ghosts; he hadn’t seen those of the third, and it seemed there was no chance to see any more under the current circumstances.

The paper made from human skin on the ground was devouring the old woman.

The old woman, who had fallen to the ground, was expressionless and numb, her withered palms clutching at the ground as if she didn’t quite want to be dragged into the paper.

If ghosts could feel fear, the Headless Ghost Shadow was definitely panicking right now.

Finally freed from the golden box, it had obtained a body, had taken control over other ghosts, only to be forcefully devoured by the paper made from human skin.

However, such struggles were futile.

The human skin paper seemed to be the nemesis of fierce ghosts: it could absorb a ghost upon contact.

This old woman’s Terror Level could no longer be considered C; the Headless Ghost Shadow, having taken control of other ghosts, had a Terror Level of at least B, or even A.

After all, just now, the old woman was able to enter Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain.

“Even if I raised a ghost of this level, can it not resist this human skin paper? My previous doubts and wariness towards the paper were correct,” thought Yang Jian as he looked at the seemingly harmless paper, feeling an inexplicable chill and fear.

He had been wary of the paper everywhere before, fearing that it was too bizarre and terrifying.

But in the desperation of the moment, he had to make this deal with it.

It was just that.

Yang Jian was afraid: what change would occur to the human skin paper after it had absorbed other ghosts?

After all, this was what the paper had always been pursuing.

“And why, with such terrifying power, has it remained peaceful by my side? I also have a ghost eye in my body; I am also a ghost. It should be able to consume me as well… Or is there some kind of limitation? If so, what exactly is that limitation?”

Yang Jian watched the old woman getting gradually sucked in, his face showing changing expressions.

He didn’t dare close the Ghost Domain at this moment.

The situation now was more complicated than before.

Because there was now an unknown terror.

It didn’t take long.

Half of the old woman’s body had already been absorbed into the human skin paper, and she was still struggling.

But it was of no use.

Yang Jian felt the human skin paper was like a ghost-trapping trap, with the old woman as the prey that had fallen into it, about to be captured.

It seemed that even the powers of a fierce ghost had no effect on this paper.

Just like that.

The old woman was pulled, bit by bit, into the paper, and all her struggles were in vain.

Yang Jian did not offer help, only watching the event unfold with a touch of chill.

Because whether it was the Headless Ghost Shadow or the human skin paper, he had personally released them.

The event unfolding before him was also facilitated by his own hands.

He could only try this method to cope with the upcoming events in Huanggang Village.

Otherwise, there would only be death ahead.

“I can only try to trust the human skin paper this time; I have no other choice now. Although the balance has been restored, it’s not under my control, but under the control of the Headless Ghost Shadow,” Yang Jian’s face showed changing expressions.

“This balance is not what I want, whether it is the Headless Ghost Shadow, that mysterious Vicious Ghost, or… that Sick Ghost, all are beyond my abilities to handle.”

“Three ghosts of such level in Huanggang Village, it’s simply despairing. So I have to create a breakthrough with the Headless Ghost Shadow, seize back some initiative, to ensure my safety, and the possibility of leaving this place. What worries me now is whether the human skin paper will cooperate with me or not.”

Although trusting the human skin paper was a foolish thing to do.

In desperate situations, one’s choices were truly limited.

At that moment.

The entire body of the old woman had entered into the human skin paper, leaving only her head outside… and as the paper continued to devour, even that head completely disappeared.

It, fully entered into the human skin paper.

Without leaving a trace.

As if it had completely left this world, entering an unknown place.

“This scene looks as if the ghost has been… completely eaten,” muttered Yang Jian as he took a cold breath.

Still, the same old saying.

So terrifying!

Wait a minute?

Yang Jian suddenly realized he had forgotten something and his expression darkened, “Before, I agreed to make a deal with the human skin paper, to give it just one ghost; but now, it has obtained at least two ghosts, maybe even more. The benefit it gained is a bit too much; can the deal still go on?”

Uncertain.

The initiative was no longer in his hands, but in those of the human skin paper.

However, right now, the human skin paper that had devoured the old woman seemed to show no special changes.

There was still a dark brown human skin, lying quietly on the ground.

There was no sound, nor any anomalies.

And now, the time in the Ghost Domain had crept up unnoticed.

Yang Jian began to feel the ghost eye inside his body becoming restless, with a compulsive urge to awaken.

His eyes were already out of control, flitting around inside his body, sometimes tearing open a gash in his chest to burrow out, sometimes stretching the flesh on his back, and sometimes moving down to the soles of his feet… Even so, he dared not retract the Ghost Domain.

The balance, though temporarily restored,

had brightened the sky, and the house that was set up for the memorial service had reappeared as well.

But Yang Jian had not forgotten the curse of certain death when isolated.

Once he left the Ghost Domain, would he just die at the hands of that mysterious Vicious Ghost?

He dared not try, because Yang Jian felt that possibility was very real.

The current situation was at best a return to what it was like before entering the village when the three spirit tamers had died one after the other…

Yang Jian did not want to be the next one.

At this moment, he became somewhat silent, calmly watching the human skin paper before him.

At the same time, the ghost eye in his body was gradually reviving.

So, was he going to die here?

He wasn’t afraid, just somewhat unwilling.

After all, having struggled so much, to come to naught in the end was truly unacceptable.

“Zhou Zheng was right, for people like us, death may indeed be a release, struggling to live in this hellish world… is just too hard,” Yang Jian looked up, watching the brightening horizon in the distance.

“It’s time to start preparing for the afterlife.”

He turned around, ready to seal himself into a body bag.

At least to leave a complete corpse, and not to become a Ghost Slave after death and lose peace.

And entering the body bag could also imprison the ghost eye.

Consider it reducing one less danger of a fierce ghost to this world.

If there was still time, he should make a phone call to his mother.

Although the money left was not much, a few million should still barely be enough for his mother’s old age.

After so much effort, what was it all for?

He should have died in that bathroom back in school.

Yang Jian sneered bitterly and slightly shook his head.

But just as he had turned around and hadn’t taken two steps, he noticed a pitch-black shadow flowing over the ground from behind him like water, slowly merging with his own shadow.

This shadow…had no head.

Headless Ghost Shadow?

Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed as he instinctively looked back.

Between the shadows, a line connected him to the human skin paper.

At that moment, a line of text emerged on the human skin paper: I have successfully made a deal with this human skin, and now… I shall begin to control the second fierce ghost.

To control the second fierce ghost?

Yang Jian’s pupils contracted.

Did this human skin plan to fulfill its previous promise?

What exactly was it plotting, just a simple aid to himself? Or did it not want to let him just die here?

Regardless of what,

Yang Jian felt,

the Headless Ghost Shadow was beginning to invade his body.

A chill rose from the soles of his feet.

And his shadow slowly began to stand up.

The Headless Ghost Shadow was gradually merging with him.

But, if that were the case, would he control the Headless Ghost Shadow, or would the Headless Ghost Shadow control him?

Normally,

it should be the latter; Yang Jian could not vie with a ghost for the control of his body.

“There must be a way.”

He abruptly turned back to the side of the human skin paper.

The writing on it had disappeared once again.

The method to control the Headless Ghost Shadow was revealed.

“Can this… really work?” Yang Jian’s expression became solemn, filled with doubt.
