Chapter 88 – Code: Disease Demon


The lack of transparency in the information, coupled with the fact that a ghost tamer died on the first day of entering Huanggang Village, cast a shadow over everyone’s heart. It is common for ghost tamers to die from the revival of fierce ghosts, but to die quietly in the hands of an unknown ghost hand reveals unusual information.

Without saying anything else, just looking at the simplest result, the level of horror of the ghosts here is obviously higher than that of any ghost tamer present, otherwise He Sheng would not have died so easily. Zhang Yiming’s words made everyone silent. “What you analyzed is consistent with what Yang Jian said before. He said that the fierce ghosts in Huanggang Village are not targeting people, but the ghosts in our bodies,” Zhang Han said with a slight intake of breath.

Zhang Yiming is a relatively stable and intelligent person. What is said from Yang Jian’s mouth has no credibility, but it is different when it comes from him. Moreover, the fact is in front of them. He Sheng died, but the woman in his room did not. The result is obvious. The ghost spared the ordinary person and chose the ghost tamer He Sheng, so this woman could survive.

“Oh, really? Did Yang Jian say that too?” Zhang Yiming raised his head slightly. “I heard you guys say that Yang Jian is a crazy kid with an abnormal brain. Now I have to take back my previous impression of him.”

He guessed this key information from He Sheng’s death. But Yang Jian knew this one step earlier than him. Doesn’t this indicate that Yang Jian’s ability is above him? If he really is a crazy kid with an abnormal brain, how could he know this?

“He did say that, but we didn’t believe it at the time. But now that you say the same thing, we have to believe it,” Zhang Han said.

Yang Jian, who followed to investigate the situation, shrugged his shoulders. “Adults should speak, I’m just a kid. Someone even wanted to play a shooting game with me just now, and I was so scared that I almost wet my pants.”

“Yang Jian, don’t talk nonsense,” Ouyang Tian said angrily, still with anger.

“I suggest we leave here. What do you think, Yang Jian? We can’t afford to provoke a ghost that is staring at other ghosts. This task is not as simple as we imagined. The company must have a strong purpose in choosing to assign this task to us. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have paid the price of driving the second fierce ghost,” Zhang Yiming suggested.

“Great benefits always come with great risks, and it seems that we were not wrong about that.”Yang Jian grinned, “Do you have a way out? If you don’t control the second ghost and prolong the revival of the fierce ghost, how long do you think you can survive?”

This hit them where it hurt the most.

They came here expecting danger, and were willing to take a gamble.

Retreating now may seem wise, but it also meant giving up hope of survival.

“Dying from the revival of the fierce ghost is better than dying at the hands of this ghost. Just because you’re not afraid of death, Yang Jian, doesn’t mean others aren’t. We don’t want to die meaninglessly here,” Ye Jun retorted.

“It doesn’t matter. If you want to go, then go back to the club, drink, chat, bully the newbies… and wait for death. Remember to prepare a good urn and choose a good grave. I don’t know if anyone will dare to burn incense on our graves after we die,” Yang Jian said.

“You…” Ye Jun was angry but couldn’t find a way to argue.

Yang Jian was right. Going back meant waiting for death.

“We have to take risks to seek wealth and success. Staying here to solve this supernatural event and complete the transaction gives us a chance to survive. With more people, our chances of winning are higher, but the ghosts have already started attacking, so we have to make a decision quickly,” Zhang Yiming threw his cigarette butt away.

“To stay or to leave, let’s hear your opinions. I suggest we leave,” Ye Jun said.

“I agree,” Zhang Han said.

“I think if we work together, we still have a chance. It’s difficult to avoid damage in the beginning when we don’t know about the ghost’s appearance. I suggest we stay,” Zhang Yiming said.

“I also suggest we stay,” Yang Jian smiled. “I don’t know if my opinion as an outsider matters.”

“What about you, Ouyang Tian?” Zhang Yiming asked.

“Hey, you’re injured. Your pants are bleeding,” Zhang Yiming noticed.

“It’s nothing, just a small wound,” Ouyang Tian’s face looked a bit ugly.

Small wound? Dude, you lost your bird, and that’s just a small wound?

Yang Jian admired Ouyang Tian’s ability to adapt to difficult situations. He was truly a great man.

“I think we should stay and take a chance. We don’t have much time left before the fierce ghost revives. How long can we survive if we leave? Solving this supernatural event and finding a way to prolong the revival of the fierce ghost is the only thing we can do now,” Ouyang Tian said. Although he had a grudge against Yang Jian, he didn’t have a grudge against his own life.

“As long as it’s not a hopeless situation, even a glimmer of hope is worth trying,” Yang Jian said.

“Are you a gambler?” Zhang Yiming lit another cigarette.

He thought about it. The chances of surviving this event were indeed low.

But they had to cross the abyss in front of them, because there was no way back.”Since all three of you agree to stay, then… let’s give it a try.”

“From the previous situation, we can deduce a crucial piece of information: this ghost is targeting us, the Ghost Handlers. So splitting up would be foolish. We must stay together now, eat, drink, sleep, and even use the restroom together. Even if there are any grudges or conflicts between us, we must temporarily set them aside.”

“A group of men like this is prone to accidents.” Yang Jian expressed his concern.

Zhang Yiming exhaled smoke and said, “This is an extraordinary time. You must understand that this ghost is capable of silently killing a Ghost Handler.”

“Okay, but you missed something. There may be more than one ghost here now.” Yang Jian pointed to the corpse of He Sheng on the ground.

“You’re right. It’s highly likely that He Sheng’s ghost has escaped, and there may be two ghosts in the village.” Zhang Yiming said.

“How much do you know about He Sheng’s ghost?” Yang Jian asked.

“We’re not sure. He rarely came to the club. He used to be a bodyguard for a boss and almost never used his ghost power in front of us, so we can’t tell.” Zhang Han shook his head.

Yang Jian smiled, “This just got interesting. We have another unknown ghost now.”

“But never mind, as long as he didn’t die from the resurrection of a ghost, the level of terror of that ghost won’t be high. The most urgent task now is to find the ghost in Huanggang Village. I gave that ghost a nickname… Sick Ghost. You should have heard its weak cough.”

No one refuted him.

“This is a map of Huanggang Village. Although it’s hand-drawn, it should be understandable.”

At this point, Yang Jian took out a piece of paper, which was a simple hand-drawn map with lines and squares.

“When did you draw this?” Zhang Han was surprised.

Yang Jian was surprised, “Didn’t you guys draw one? Otherwise, how can we catch ghosts if we don’t even know the way?”

“No, we didn’t.” He felt embarrassed.

The others couldn’t help but twitch their mouths.

They didn’t even think that far.

“The lines are roads, and the squares are houses. Here, here, and here are the places we just chased the footsteps to. And in the middle of these three points is this house, where the footsteps disappeared.”

“You should be very familiar with this house.” Zhang Yiming’s hand trembled, and the cigarette ash fell down. “It’s the one at the entrance of the village where the funeral is being held. There’s even a coffin in the hall.””That’s right, it’s the house that serves as the mourning hall. The place where we appeared was just behind that house. If we go around to the front, we’ll be able to see the coffin.” Yang Jian pointed out.

“Damn it, I knew something was off. We encountered a funeral on our first day in the village, and there was a coffin just sitting in the main hall. It was obvious that something wasn’t right.” Zhang Han couldn’t help but curse.

“Should we go confront them?”

“Do we even need to ask?” Ye Jun said, “With so many of us, even Jesus would have to kneel when we get serious.”
