They had to find the real ghost among the various strange corpses that filled the entire store.
It was not an easy task.
They didn’t have the capital to try one by one, because controlling the power of a fierce ghost was a very dangerous thing. Each use directly shortened their lives.
When it came time to take action, not only did they need enough courage, but they also needed strong determination.
Yang Jian had the courage, and Yan Li had the determination.
So, at this moment, they didn’t run away, but chose to take action.
Blood penetrated into the body of the middle-aged woman in a suit through Yan Li’s hands.
The blood in his hands seemed to never stop flowing. As the blood seeped in, the corpse that had started moving seemed to have stopped, without any movement. Other corpses also seemed to lose their ability to move at this moment and were all stiff in place.
This sign seemed to indicate that the real ghost was hidden in this corpse.
But was this really the case?
Yang Jian was uncertain, and even Yan Li himself was not sure.
“Is it this corpse?”
Yan Li’s face was particularly solemn. “I’m not sure, but it seems to be this corpse from the looks of it. My blood can only suppress the ghost, but can’t determine whether it’s a ghost or not.”
Yang Jian frowned deeply, and everything around him was dim and silent.
Except for the corpse that Yan Li was holding, which continued to seep blood, there were no other abnormalities.
Everything seemed to have come to a brief standstill.
But this silent standstill was the most terrifying situation, because Yan Li couldn’t determine whether the corpse in his hands was really a ghost or not. If they continued to stalemate like this, once they guessed wrong, they would definitely die.
It could be said that every second that passed was a loss for them.
The real ghost had enough time to drag it out.
“Yang Jian, what should we do now? Come up with a way to confirm whether this is a ghost or not. If it is, we’ll put it in the box,” Yan Li’s forehead was sweating.
He began to feel that the blood constantly flowing from his hands was a bit out of control.
At this moment, Yang Jian was also quickly thinking about various details.
If this corpse was not a ghost, then the ghost should still be hidden here. If the ghost intentionally remained motionless and let Yan Li waste his abilities recklessly, it would be equivalent to indirectly killing him.
If this corpse was really a ghost, then there was no reason for the other corpses to have no reaction at all.
Bait!
There was an 80% chance that the first corpse to move was just bait.
Like fishing, you have to hang bait first to lure the fish to bite the hook.
But if the guess was wrong, they would miss the opportunity to catch the ghost.
After weighing the pros and cons, he chose the side with the higher probability.
Yang Jian made a bold guess: this corpse was not a ghost.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s retreat and give up this opportunity.”
“What? Retreat?”
Yan Li didn’t expect Yang Jian to say such words at this time.
Retreating meant that their operation would end in failure, and he would have wasted the power of a fierce ghost for nothing.”This corpse definitely cannot be a ghost… If she really was a ghost, these corpses wouldn’t all be standing still, not even one falling down. Sometimes being too perfect means revealing the biggest flaw. Retreat now, if you die from the fierce ghost’s revival, the situation will become irreparable.”
Yang Jian said seriously and with a hint of urgency.
“But…” Yan Li hesitated, not willing to take the risk.
“No buts, retreat now.” Yang Jian sternly ordered. “You don’t have a choice now. If you don’t retreat, I’ll leave. My time in the ghost realm is limited. If we waste time, we’ll both end up dead.”
“Damn it… I’ll trust you this once.” Yan Li was unwilling, but he stopped the bleeding from his hands and let go of the corpse in his hands.
“Don’t turn your back to these corpses, come towards me.” Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed as he gave the command.
“I know.” Yan Li gave up his previous plan and retreated slowly, being cautious.
As he retreated, the corpse wearing a suit and a woman’s head suddenly collapsed as if it had lost support, falling onto the ground in a strange position. The head on the corpse fell off and rolled several times on the ground. After soaking in Yan Li’s blood, the corpse lost its strange ability and became an ordinary corpse. However, the collapse of this corpse did not affect the other corpses. The remaining corpses still stood there motionless, maintaining balance in an unreasonable way, even though they were already decomposing.
“Your guess was correct. She’s not a ghost.” Yan Li was surprised and angry at the same time.
He had been deceived by the ghost!
However, just as he was about to retreat into the ghost realm, one of the corpses suddenly moved. Its head turned 180 degrees at an extremely fast speed, facing backwards. The eyes suddenly opened, staring at Yan Li with a pair of dead grey eyes. The arm reached out and grabbed Yan Li’s arm easily, making a slight sound.
“Ghost!” Yan Li’s eyes widened in fear as the corpse abnormally turned its head and took off his arm like a doll. There was no blood flowing from the severed arm, only bloody flesh.
“Yang Jian, quickly stop it! It must not put on my arm. There’s ghost blood on my arm, and the consequences will be unimaginable if it puts it on…” Yan Li shouted urgently, trembling all over.
His previous guess was correct. It was a trap. Both he and Yang Jian were prey for this ghost, and its goal was to obtain a better body. Human corpses would rot and become useless after a while, so this ghost was constantly changing bodies and heads.The body of a ghost tamer is different because a real ghost is hidden inside their body.
Once a ghost takes control of another ghost, the level of horror will increase exponentially.
Because ghosts… cannot die.
Before Yan Li could finish speaking, a red light flashed in front of him.
The ghost in front of him disappeared.
His arm fell to the ground.
“I got you. You hid very well, but since you entered my ghost domain, unless I die, you won’t be able to leave.” Yang Jian’s mouth curved into a cold smile.
Inside the ghost domain, a corpse stood in front of him, motionless, with its head twisted 180 degrees.
But Yang Jian knew that the real ghost was inside this corpse.
