Chapter 106 – The man in the effigy


Although Yang Jian wanted to know a lot of things, Feng Quan seemed willing to explain patiently.

This kind of verbal communication is the best way to resolve misunderstandings.

After all, they did have behaviors that could have killed each other before, and in order to survive in this village, or even leave here, this psychological discomfort must be eliminated.

Otherwise, it would be detrimental to their future cooperation.

Zhang Han’s reminder made the two immediately look outside.

The sky outside was becoming dark again. Although the darkness was not as fast as before, if it continued like this, the village would be plunged into darkness again in less than ten minutes.

“That ghost is coming. It won’t miss this opportunity. As long as I appear, it will definitely appear. It was the same before. It has a deep obsession with this coffin,” Feng Quan’s face turned serious.

“Before, I made the entire funeral hall disappear because I didn’t want it to take away the ghost coffin.”

Yang Jian said, “If that’s the case, why don’t you just hide all the time? Why do you have to appear?”

“Hiding is useless. The coffin, the village, me, and that ghost are all closely connected. Through this ghost coffin, we have achieved a delicate balance. As long as the balance exists, there won’t be any problems. But because of the ghost you released, the balance has been broken, and I am forced to show up.”

“Now, I have no way out. Either imprison this ghost or die here with you two,” Feng Quan said.

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes.

Was he forced out by the headless ghost?

Yes.

That headless ghost possessed the ability to enter the ghost domain, so it shouldn’t be difficult for it to find this funeral hall.

But now, the old woman possessed by the headless ghost was swallowed by the human skin paper, and the headless ghost was controlled by himself.

So the situation has changed again.

Wait.

Something’s not right.

Yang Jian’s eyes flickered, “If the ghosts in this village really become stronger because of the increase in other ghosts, then why didn’t releasing the headless ghost help the ghost in this village, but instead restrained it?”

What is the difference between them?

Could it be that only the ghosts taken by the ghost later can become its power?

If that’s the case, there is no reason why this fierce ghost cannot deal with the headless ghost.

All the secrets lie in this ghost coffin.

Yang Jian couldn’t help but look at the coffin.

There is only this last mystery that hasn’t been solved. If he knows the abilities and functions of this ghost coffin, then everything that doesn’t make sense will make sense.

But…

The detective Feng Quan in front of him doesn’t seem to intend to reveal any important information about this ghost coffin to him. Instead, he wants to conceal everything about it.

“His concealment undoubtedly proves that this ghost coffin must have a very important role. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the shadow of the country behind this mission, and that company wouldn’t hide all the information, even deleting the files from Interpol…”

“Feng Quan is right. This mission is not actually to save him, but to obtain this ghost coffin.”

Thinking of this, he trembled slightly.

Concealing all the information, deleting files, this is simply reducing the survival rate of the ghost tamers participating in this event to the lowest. The amount of casualties that will be caused can be imagined.

But even so, the secret must be kept.

“Is this coffin really that important?” Yang Jian felt somewhat incredulous.

Although he didn’t know what this coffin was for, from the information that can be inferred, the value of this coffin is definitely very, very huge.

At this moment.

Feng Quan didn’t continue to sit in the coffin, but walked out of it. He seemed to have been lying in the coffin for a long time, and his walking was very stiff, even a bit like just learning to walk, swaying, and about to fall.

And Feng Quan, who came out of the coffin, closed the coffin again.

It seemed to have the meaning of fighting to the death, cutting off the retreat.

“No matter what happens outside, don’t leave this funeral hall. That ghost will come to us on its own. We don’t need to look for it. The golden items for containment are ready, whether it’s a suitcase or a body bag, as long as it can imprison that ghost.”

“Once we successfully imprison it, the supernatural events in Huanggang Village will be completely over, and the three of us can leave here alive.”

“Don’t think about any retreat now. There is no retreat anymore.”

Feng Quan kept speaking.

At the same time, the sky outside was getting darker, and sensitive people could already vaguely sense some movement outside.

“Still, don’t separate too far. I haven’t fully figured out some of the abilities of this ghost. I only know that if you are alone, it will kill you instantly without any resistance. Even I am the same. Last time, I didn’t die completely because I was lucky and found a glimmer of hope, but it’s impossible now.””Because we need to guard this ghost coffin at this moment and prevent it from falling into the hands of this fierce ghost, you can use whatever abilities you have later, don’t worry about the revival of the fierce ghost.”

Zhang Han muttered, “Easier said than done.”

Yang Jian remained calm and unmoved.

He had now controlled the second ghost, greatly delaying the revival of the fierce ghost. As it stands, using the power of the fierce ghost a few times would not have any impact on him.

Feng Quan seemed unaware of this.

He could only know what happened in the village.

Yang Jian’s control of the headless ghost shadow, the release of the human skin paper, the swallowing of the old woman… all these happened within his own ghost realm.

In other words, some of his secrets had not been exposed yet.

“Step, step, step~!”

As he was thinking, the sky outside finally darkened. Although it was not so dark that he couldn’t see his hand in front of him, the nearby houses could only be seen as vague outlines. At this moment, a footstep suddenly echoed from the alley behind the house.

In the dim night.

It seemed as if someone was walking through the empty village.

It looked a bit strange, but that was exactly what was happening.

The footsteps were orderly and particularly clear in the silent village. The three people in the ancestral hall all pricked up their ears at this moment.

“It’s here, that ghost is outside.”

Feng Quan whispered, his numb eyes staring in the direction of the door.

“Although there are some doubts and some unwillingness, it is indeed possible to join hands and imprison this ghost first.”

Yang Jian took a slight breath, dispelling the messy thoughts in his mind.

At the same time, the headless shadow behind him stretched out long… and the ghost realm also opened.

Just to be cautious, he only covered this room, not the ghost outside, so as not to have the ghost come to him first.

“Hmm?”

Feng Quan seemed to sense the existence of the ghost realm. He turned his head and glanced at Yang Jian with his numb eyes.

But he didn’t say anything, didn’t ask any more questions, and turned his head back.

As for Zhang Han.

He was now the only survivor among the ghost controllers in the Xiaoqiang Club, but he didn’t notice Yang Jian’s ghost realm covering him.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Yang Jian was looking at a wall.

The footsteps were on the other side of the wall, currently circling around from the side of the house to the direction of the front door.

“He’s quite well-behaved, knows to use the front door, never thought about coming straight through.” He muttered to himself.

After a moment.

Finally.

A person walked out of the darkness.

It was a handsome young man, pale-faced, bloodless, very handsome… exactly like the person in the previous portrait.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was confirmed to be a ghost.

If this man walked on the street, Yang Jian wouldn’t even doubt his existence. If he went to a nightclub or a bar, he might even be hit on by beautiful women.

As it stands.

This is the most human-like ghost.

So handsome, he could do anything, but he chose to be a ghost, he deserved to be dealt with today.

At this moment.

The man in the portrait stopped suddenly when he reached the door, not continuing to move forward.

Because moving forward would mean entering Yang Jian’s ghost realm.

Was it wary of this?

Or was it concerned about Feng Quan’s presence?

Or perhaps, as previously judged, the three of them together did not meet the conditions for this fierce ghost to kill, and it was waiting for an opportunity to strike.
