Chapter 100

In fact, in the village, apart from Yang Jian not being dead,

Zhang Han was also not dead.

He had made preparations and had a suitcase in the car.

It was custom-made, the material, of course, was gold.

However, because it was too heavy and inconvenient to carry, he left it in the car as a backup.

When the village started to change, he immediately hid in the suitcase. Although being curled up in such a confined space was extremely uncomfortable and almost unbearable,

Zhang Han was well aware that once he left the suitcase, he would surely die.

From the beginning to the end, he heard footsteps at least three times, each time approaching him.

At the closest point, he could even hear something touching the suitcase.

"Yang Jian, that lunatic, I don't know if he's dead or not. He really dared to play with a ghost, releasing it to try to break this terrifying situation... But from the results, it doesn't seem very effective. If it were effective, I wouldn't have encountered the ghost passing by me three times."

Zhang Han thought to himself.

At this moment, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette, stretch, and take a nap.

But he didn't dare.

"My current state is not much better than death. In a day or two, I'll either starve to death or die of thirst; there's no way I can survive."

"I can wait at most half a day. I must take a risk and leave here; I can't keep dragging this on."

Zhang Han made up his mind.

However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed a thread of red light seeping through the gaps in the suitcase.

Although it was faint,

the red light was particularly noticeable in the dark environment.

"Light? Could something have changed in the village?"

Zhang Han was somewhat surprised and eager to go out and see.

If there was a turning point, he would have a chance to survive.

However, just as he was about to act on this thought,

the footsteps that had left suddenly reappeared.

Zhang Han's face changed abruptly, and he immediately abandoned the idea of going out to check.

But what appeared near Zhang Han was not a ghost, but... Yang Jian.

Yes, it was Yang Jian.

He had come out of the body bag, but his whole body was glowing red, indicating that he had entered the ghost realm state again.

In this state, he had some confidence.

"I have only five minutes." Yang Jian walked over with a bat.

However, as he moved, he noticed the village again.

He suddenly realized that the number of villagers standing at the door of each house had decreased significantly.

Previously, he had seen a villager standing in front of every house, but now, some of the villagers had disappeared.

At this moment, an old woman with a hobbled gait was walking strangely on the road at the village entrance, distinctly different from the other motionless villagers, as if she were the only one still active in the entire village.

"It's the headless ghost infant I released; it's working." Yang Jian's eyes lit up.

As the number of villagers decreased, he noticed that the darkness in the village was gradually fading.

The darkness was no longer as intense, and it felt like dawn was approaching.

Looking back,

he noticed that the house that had disappeared had reappeared, with the altar still in the middle of the hall.

The red-lacquered coffin was still there.

Exactly the same as before.

The white candles in the altar were still burning, but the portrait in front of the altar... had become blank.

The man in the portrait seemed... to have disappeared.

However, this was not important, because Yang Jian could now confirm that a certain balance in the village was being restored, and this was all thanks to the headless ghost. It seemed to have successfully found a suitable body during its days of wandering in the village.

The new body of the headless ghost must be hiding other ghosts.

Perhaps the ghosts of the deceased He Sheng, Ye Jun, Ouyang Tian, or other ghosts in the village, or something else.

But this was not important.

"Abandon the attempt to seize the fierce ghost from Zhang Han. Now I will reclaim the headless ghost. No, I will control the headless ghost. In exchange, you will get the other ghosts in the headless ghost's body." Yang Jian stopped and changed his mind.

Since he now knew the role of the headless ghost, he decided to take control of this balance.

This was the best way to resolve the current crisis.

At this moment, the human skin paper displayed a message: "The ghost controller Zhang Han is not dead; he is hiding in the suitcase in the car. I have decided to hunt him down and use the ghost in his body as a bargaining chip to complete this transaction with the human skin paper."

However, as Yang Jian spoke,

the words on the human skin paper changed.

"The existence of the headless ghost has convinced me of its importance here. I have decided to control it and take charge of the balance in Huanggang Village... The transaction is still ongoing."

Yang Jian glanced at it and immediately understood.

This meant the headless ghost had agreed to change the target.

Of course, it would agree.

Because there might be two ghosts in the headless ghost's body, which could be a gain for it.

"Since that's the case, let's begin. I want to see if this thing is really that bizarre."

Yang Jian's eyes flickered, and he walked directly toward the old woman with the hobbled gait, his body glowing red.

At this moment, the old woman's highly decayed body had already been restored.

Her broken head had been repaired, and the missing flesh had been replenished.

He really didn't know what had happened during the time he was hiding.

However, this did not affect his actions.

The eyes in the ghost realm approached the old woman.

The old woman suddenly stopped, as if she sensed Yang Jian's presence or noticed the ghost realm ahead. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Yang Jian with her seemingly useless eyes.

They stared at each other.

As if confirming something.

"She can sense me now. The headless ghost has indeed become more terrifying than the first time it was imprisoned." Yang Jian felt a chill.

"But will the human skin paper really work against this thing?"

He could only try.

He laid the human skin paper on the ground, took a step forward, and tried to envelop the old woman in the ghost realm, attempting to draw her into it.

However, when the red light enveloped her, something unexpected happened.

The old woman's body began to drip with foul-smelling corpse water, and the more it dripped, the more it soaked her entire body.

The ghost realm was repelled by the corpse water.

The red light and the corpse water were mutually exclusive and could not affect each other.

As more and more corpse water dripped to the ground, it gradually formed a human shape... and that human shape seemed to be struggling to stand up.

"Ye Jun's ability?" Yang Jian's eyes narrowed.

Had the ghost of Ye Jun been taken by the headless ghost?

How did it manage to do that?

Moreover, it seemed that the headless ghost controlling Ye Jun's ghost was even more terrifying.

The old woman suddenly moved. Although Yang Jian failed to draw her into the ghost realm, she seemed determined to complete what she had left unfinished in the mall.

To seize Yang Jian's ghost eye.

In the next moment, the old woman actually walked into the ghost realm.

"..."

Yang Jian's lips twitched.

Playing with fire, what level of ghost have I raised that it can even enter the ghost realm?

No wonder the balance is being restored.

This thing must have made the fierce ghost in the village uncomfortable as it wandered around.

However, in the next moment,

as the old woman took her second step into the ghost realm, she stepped on the human skin paper that Yang Jian had laid on the ground.

According to the requirements of the human skin paper, it only needed to come into contact with a real ghost.

"Thud!"

The old woman, who stepped on the human skin paper, seemed to be stuck to the ground, stumbled, and fell, and her body was being pulled backward as if by an irresistible force.

Yang Jian looked at her.

His face was filled with shock.

The human skin paper laid on the ground... was actually devouring the ghost.

Yes, like a black hole, it was sucking the old woman in.

And during this process, the old woman had no ability to resist.

Even a ghost that could enter the ghost realm could not escape the human skin paper?

Heaven.

Was his choice today right or wrong?

What changes would the human skin paper undergo after obtaining a ghost?

I stayed up too late last night and was not in good spirits all day. I couldn't resist taking a nap today, so I apologize for the late update. I still owe the patron two updates... I will continue to make up for them.
