Mysterious Revival-Chapter 1126 - 1092: Elimination
As Yang Jian and others successively sank into the Ghost Lake and then escaped, it seemed to trigger some unforeseen change.
The fierce ghost in the Ghost Lake seemed to have learned some sort of supernatural ability from a few of them.
This should not be theft, because Leuk San himself said that his supernatural power could not be stolen, and all the paper figures were made using some supernatural means. Without materials, there was no way to create new paper figures.
So the fierce ghost in the Ghost Lake is more like a kind of mimicry.
But the Ghost Tamer is limited by various reasons in exerting their supernatural power, while the fierce ghost is not.
"That thing seems to be getting out of control, and its numbers are increasing."
At this moment, Ah Hong noticed more and more eerie female corpses emerging from the buildings on the water surface, and an uneasy expression appeared on her face.
"At least a few hundred of those things." Cao Yang's eyes moved slightly, "This fierce ghost has learned an extraordinary ability, and at this rate, the number will soon exceed a thousand. These things will exhaust us just by consuming our energy, and they cannot be ignored. If we ignore them, once these ghostly things scatter everywhere, it will not just be a matter of sealing off dozens of miles, the area for hundreds of miles will be affected."
"Leuk San, your paper figures shouldn't reach this level, right?"
Leuk San's face remained gloomy, "Do you take me for Jesus? If I had over a thousand paper figures, why would I be heartbroken over losing just one? There wouldn't be any supernatural incident I couldn't handle."
"With so many, it surely isn't real ghosts, most likely ghost slaves or something. It should be easy to resolve, like those ghost infants in the Hungry Ghost incident." Li Jun said, "Why not simply burn everything with a flame?"
"I think this time is different from the Hungry Ghost incident with those ghost infants." Yang Jian's expression was somber.
His ghost-eye peered through, and every female corpse interfered supernaturally with his sight, while his physical intuition told him that these appearing fierce ghosts were ferocious, unlike those ghost infants he could easily deal with before.
"No matter what, this thing cannot be ignored, let's act directly. The truth will be clear after we start."
Ghost Flame in Li Jun's eye sockets was flickering violently, and flames were already emerging nearby.
The nearest building exposed above water was instantly ignited, shrouded indifferently by the eerie green Ghost Flame, including those bizarre female corpses continually emerging from within.
This time he wasn't reckless but made an exploratory move.
Yang Jian touched his forehead and closed his ghost-eye. He had used too much supernatural power today, and the ghost-eye already showed signs of resurgence. Once it fully resurges, the ghost-eye will be out of control. At that time, he perhaps won't die, but his life will be worse than death.
No one knows better than him how terrifying an out-of-control ghost-eye can be.
The Ghost Flame's burning can destroy some supernatural phenomena and eliminate ghost slaves and supernatural derivatives. Although it cannot kill fierce ghosts, it can suppress them.
However, at this moment,
An unexpected phenomenon occurred.
In the building, the female corpses standing motionless were allowed to be burned by the eerie Ghost Flame, but when the flame got about ten centimeters away from the female corpses, it could no longer approach, as if an invisible supernatural power resisted the flame's erosion.
And this phenomenon was not limited to one female corpse; every single of them was like this.
The female corpses were scattered throughout the building, forcing Li Jun's Ghost Flame to retreat.
The Ghost Flame could only flicker in places without female corpses, but that was entirely ineffective.
"What? How is this possible, not even a single female corpse can be burned?"
Li Jun, although his eye sockets were without eyes, showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
The others froze as well.
They were well aware of the fearsome capability of the Ghost Flame, which could burn the supernatural and suppress fierce ghosts, effective in any supernatural incident, never failing as it did today without any effect.
"The worst has happened." Yang Jian vaguely guessed something and glanced slightly at Leuk San.
At this moment, Leuk San said with a sombre face, "If the fierce ghosts in the Ghost Lake have really mimicked my paper figures, then the situation is worse than imagined."
"Why?" Ah Hong asked.
"My paper figures are used to distribute the supernatural power to delay the fierce ghost's resurgence, but correspondingly, the supernatural power each paper figure possesses is actually the same, except for those few paper figures I specially made." At this moment, Leuk San finally revealed some of his intelligence information.
He has always been tight-lipped, but today he made an exception.
"So, if one ghost can't be dealt with, the others are the same?" Ah Hong asked.
Leuk San said, "No, it gets worse. My paper figures can distribute supernatural power, but the ghosts in the Ghost Lake aren't paper figures. They don't need distribution, so each female corpse is likely to individually have the full power of the source fierce ghost. If there really are a thousand female corpses, then there are a thousand fierce ghosts."
"What a joke, that's impossible." Cao Yang's tone changed upon hearing this.
"I'm just speculating. Whether it's right or wrong, a direct confrontation will make everything clear." Leuk San said, "Yang Jian, what do you think?"
He finally looked at Yang Jian.
Not only him, but also Cao Yang, Li Jun, Feng Quan, and Ah Hong all looked at Yang Jian.
Truthfully, among these people, Yang Jian was the only one with the capability to lead the team.
Although he lacked authoritative leadership, no one could match his performance in supernatural events. His ability alone was enough to command respect.
"At present, the people from Taiping Town have all left, eliminating worries. Cao Yang and Li Jun also returned from the Ghost Lake. At this moment, the Ghost Lake has invaded reality again." Yang Jian calmly said, "There are no other options; naturally, it's necessary to confront the fierce ghosts face-to-face. Whether the Ghost Lake incident can be quelled depends on this confrontation."
"Let's not forget, there are other fierce ghosts in the Ghost Lake trying to reach the shore and leave." Feng Quan reminded.
Yang Jian said, "The fierce ghosts that have left can be dealt with later; the current problem with the number of female corpses is greater."
Feng Quan nodded, "Right, the Ghost Lake issue is more pressing."
"Handle them individually, don't stray too far from each other. Start clearing from the nearest building, and remember to support others promptly." Yang Jian said.
As a measure of caution, it was clear they couldn't directly penetrate to the center of Zhongzhou City. They could only start clearing from the buildings on the outskirts of the lake, and they must not be too far apart. If an issue arises, delayed rescue could result in casualties.
The others understood Yang Jian's plan and nodded in agreement.
"Set off."
With a command, the group instantly vanished from the massive wooden boat.
Li Jun and Ah Hong first rushed into the building engulfed by Ghost Flame. This building, after being flooded, had floors full of accumulated water, the air was exceedingly damp, the walls were covered with water stains, and even the ceiling constantly dripped water.
A series of eerie female corpses stood in the water, some motionless, while others walked eerily through the water.
However, as the two approached, the wandering female corpses in the building instantly stopped their actions.
Then all the female corpses twisted their rigid necks in unison, staring at Li Jun and Ah Hong with ghostly pale eyes.
Ah Hong appeared anxious, holding a red Ghost Candle in her hand, ready to ignite it at any moment.
Li Jun, with the Ghost Flame in his eye sockets, scrutinized the cold female corpses, despite standing in accumulated water, he felt no fear.
Having no heart, he no longer had any emotion of fear.
His face was only expressionless and stiff.
"Here they come," Ah Hong whispered.
The next instant,
The water underfoot rippled, and in the dim building, one after another, terrifying and cold female corpses appeared from all directions, constantly approaching Li Jun and Ah Hong. These female corpses wore vintage women's coats, appearing disheveled, but their faces were distinct from one another.
No two female corpses shared the same face.
"Don't waste time, send all these ghostly things away at once," Li Jun opened his palm, and the Ghost Flame in his hand suddenly expanded.
Amidst the flames, a desolate building appeared,
He connected the Ghost Domain to the ghost painting, once again opening this forbidden area.
After all, that building wandered with the most terrifying ghost painting and Ghost Envoy, two unsolvable-level fierce ghosts known so far.
In another building.
Leuk San stood on a large wooden boat, thinking to himself. He was better off being cautious, considering the situation. However, the next moment, a head of black hair floated in the water under the desk, and a female corpse with a disturbing smile on her face emerged from the water.
And it was not just this one.
The strange sounds echoed through the floors of the building, and from the adjacent corridor came the sound of corpses walking in water.
A number of female corpses gathered.
"More of them? I have plenty of mine as well." Leuk San's expression was indifferent.
Soon after, throughout the entire building, other footsteps were also heard. These footsteps were dense and appeared from all directions.
A group of people, identical in appearance and actions, appeared from somewhere, or perhaps they were hiding in the building, waiting for Leuk San's arrival to awaken them. These identical people gathered through various doors and passageways.
The number was large, at least thirty of them.
These paper entities looked at each other, then all turned their gaze to Leuk San standing on the desk.
The Leuk San on the desk did not look the same as the other paper entities, but it still was not his true identity. It was merely his second layer of identity to prevent his true self from being exposed once the paper entity's identity was discovered.
No one has seen the true appearance of Leuk San, nor does anyone know who the real Leuk San is.
Even his name was fake.
"This time, things are going to get real." Leuk San slightly lowered his head, stretching out his hand to tear the skin and flesh from the back of his hand.
A piece of scarlet flesh was torn off alive and then carelessly thrown aside.
No.
That was not flesh.
It was actually a piece of paper, merely with camouflage marks, making it look like a piece of living flesh. freewebnσvel.cѳm
One by one.
Leuk San tore all the paper from his hand, with blood continuously flowing.
Quickly.
A pair of more bizarre and terrifying hands were revealed.
They were a pair of emaciated arms, somewhat damaged and decayed, with nails that were blackened, like a corpse exhumed after many days.
These were no longer human.
These were truly the arms of a ghost.
And this was merely a small part revealed after tearing off the camouflage of paper from the paper entity's body.
It's hard to imagine what terrifying things are hidden inside once the paper entity is fully torn open.
After Leuk San's horrifying arms were revealed, changes occurred on the arms of the other paper entities as well. In a short moment, the arms of all the paper entities were eroded by supernatural forces and transformed into the same existence as Leuk San's.
A cold female corpse suddenly embraced one of the paper entities from behind.
The paper entity's body began to melt.
Yet at the same time, the paper entity spoke, "Courting death."
The emaciated, decayed arm suddenly grabbed the female corpse's neck and directly pulled it away.
The female corpse instantly froze.
And from that neck, an indescribable eerie aura spread, wherever it passed, the female corpse's pale skin started to turn black, then began to decay, followed by the flesh beginning to slough off... In just a brief moment, the female corpse thoroughly decayed and then completely lost its movement.
"Clear this building," Leuk San commanded in a suppressed voice.
He didn't need to direct the paper entities.
Because each paper entity was him, and each him was a paper entity.
All the paper entities began to combat the numerous female corpses.
Leuk San utilized a kind of incomprehensible terrifying supernatural power, easily restraining even the fiercest ghosts, and ghostly entities in the Ghost Lake were powerless against it.
However, even though the clearing was proceeding smoothly.
An unpredictable change was occurring.
The first entirely decayed, blackened female corpse that fell in the pool of water began to rapidly recover. The decayed body quickly healed, the blackened skin color faded away, returning to the former waterlogged white appearance, and finally, the female corpse's deathly pale eyes opened once more.
Although Ghost Slaves could be eliminated, a true ghost could not be killed.
It seemed that Leuk San's previous words were being confirmed...
These female corpses weren't some supernatural anomalies but rather real fierce ghosts.
At this point, Leuk San hadn't noticed this.
Elsewhere in the building.
Yang Jian and Feng Quan teamed up.
"Bang!"
A spear flew over, directly penetrating four female corpses and pinning them firmly to the wall.
The female corpses instantly lost their ability to move, closed their eyes, and then their limbs hung limp, with no further abnormalities.
"The corpses haven't disappeared?" Yang Jian strode through the water, frowning as he realized this.
If it were Ghost Slaves, they would surely die, and if they were supernatural anomalies, they would directly disappear.
But neither happened.
In front of Feng Quan, a large grave mound appeared; it emerged mysteriously, seemingly crafted by his own hands, with a few pale arms and strands of black hair visible outside the ancient grave. He had to pick up a shovel and continue filling it with soil for burial.
In that old grave, he buried three female corpses.
A bit greedy.
Ideally, an old grave should only house one fierce ghost; otherwise, if there are too many, the grave would not be able to suppress them, and the ghosts would break free from the grave soil and walk out.
Thus, Feng Quan enlarged the old grave to prevent accidents from happening.
He wasn't in a hurry to clear the female corpses on his own because it wasn't his entire responsibility; he was merely patching up.
"In that case, I might as well trigger a medium and see if I can dissect all the female corpses in one go."
Yang Jian's ghost shadow behind him wavered, and the shadow extended its hand to grasp the hand of the female corpse pinned to the wall.
He pulled out the spear, activating the medium.
A phantom of a fierce ghost image emerged in sight.
Without hesitation, he slashed down with the Firewood Knife, cleaving the fierce ghost's image in two.
But in the next moment.
An unexpected situation occurred, surprising Yang Jian.
The female corpse on the wall was abruptly dissected into two halves, but the other female corpses remained unaffected, standing there intact.
The curse of the Firewood Knife succeeded but also failed.
It couldn't extend to the other female corpses.
This situation indicated a possibility, each and every female corpse existed independently, neither supernatural anomalies nor Ghost Slaves.
Only in this way would the curse of the Firewood Knife target only one individual.
He suddenly turned around.
Yang Jian observed the varied faces of the female corpses, and a terrible suspicion formed in his heart.
