Chapter 60

To find the real ghost among the various strange corpses that filled the entire shop was no easy task.

They did not have the means to try each one, as the power to control a fierce ghost was extremely dangerous. Each use directly shortened their lifespan.

When it came time to take action, it required not only sufficient courage but also strong determination.

Yang Jian had the courage, and Yan Li had the determination.

Therefore, at this moment, they did not run away but chose to take action.

Fresh blood seeped through the body of the middle-aged woman in a suit through Yan Li's hands.

The blood in his hands seemed to flow endlessly. As the blood seeped in, the first corpse to move seemed to stop, showing no signs of activity. The other corpses also seemed to lose their ability to move, remaining stiff in place.

This phenomenon seemed to indicate that the real ghost was hiding in this corpse.

But, was it really so?

Yang Jian was uncertain, and even Yan Li himself was unsure.

"Is it this corpse?"

Yan Li's expression was particularly solemn: "I... I'm not quite sure, but from the looks of it, it seems to be this corpse. The blood in my hands can only suppress the ghost, not determine if it is a ghost."

Yang Jian frowned deeply, the surroundings were dim and silent.

Apart from the continuous seepage of blood from the corpse Yan Li was holding, there was no other abnormality.

Everything seemed to have momentarily paused.

But this silent pause was the most terrifying situation, as Yan Li could not determine if the corpse in his hands was the real ghost. If this continued, and he guessed wrong, he would surely die.

It could be said that with each passing second, they were losing.

The real ghost had enough time to wait them out.

"Yang Jian, what do we do now? Quickly think of a way to confirm if this is the ghost. If it is, we'll put it in the box." Sweat appeared on Yan Li's forehead.

He began to feel that the blood continuously flowing from his hands was becoming uncontrollable.

At this moment, Yang Jian was also quickly thinking through the details.

If this corpse was not the ghost, then the ghost should still be hiding here. If the ghost deliberately remained still, allowing Yan Li to waste his power, it would be equivalent to indirect murder.

If this corpse was the ghost, there would be no reason for the other corpses to show no reaction at all.

Bait!

There was an 80% chance that this first moving corpse was just a bait.

Like fishing, you have to put out a bait to lure the fish to bite.

But if the guess was wrong, they would lose the best opportunity to capture this ghost.

Weighing the options.

In the end, he chose the more likely option.

Yang Jian made a bold guess: this corpse was not the ghost.

He immediately bit his lip and said, "Let's back off and give up this opportunity."

"What? Back off?"

Yan Li did not expect Yang Jian to say such a thing at this moment.

Backing off meant that this attempt would end in failure, and he would have wasted the power of the fierce ghost.

"This corpse absolutely cannot be the ghost... If she were the ghost, these other corpses would not all stand still. Sometimes, being too perfect means revealing the biggest flaw. Back off, if you die when the ghost revives, the situation will become uncontrollable." Yang Jian said seriously and with a hint of urgency.

"But..." Yan Li was hesitant, he did not dare to take the risk.

"No buts, back off." Yang Jian said sternly, "You have no choice now. If you don't back off, I'll leave. My ghost domain doesn't last long, and waiting will only get us killed."

"Damn... I'll trust you this time." Yan Li was very reluctant. The blood flowing from his hands stopped, and he released the corpse.

"Don't turn your back on these corpses, come to my side." Yang Jian said immediately.

"I know." Yan Li gave up on this attempt and chose to retreat.

Yang Jian said, "Slow down."

Yan Li carefully and slowly retreated.

As he retreated, the corpse in the suit, with the head of a middle-aged woman, suddenly seemed to lose its support and collapsed on the ground in a strange position. The head on the corpse also seemed to disconnect from the neck and fell to the ground, rolling a few times.

After being soaked in the blood from Yan Li's hands, this corpse lost its strange ability and became an ordinary corpse.

But the collapse of this corpse did not affect the other corpses.

The remaining corpses still stood stiffly, motionless, even the severely decayed ones maintained an unnatural balance.

"Your guess was right, she's not the ghost." Yan Li was both surprised and angry at this scene.

He had been deceived by this ghost!

However, just as he was about to retreat into the ghost domain.

Suddenly, one of the corpses moved. The head of this corpse turned 180 degrees at an extremely fast speed, facing backward. Its eyes suddenly opened, and a pair of dead gray eyes stared at him. The arm reached out and grabbed Yan Li's arm.

"Snap!"

With a slight sound, Yan Li's arm was easily torn off like a doll's, with no blood flowing from the wound, only red flesh.

"Ghost!"

Yan Li's eyes narrowed sharply when he saw the corpse turn its head abnormally and tear off his arm.

But the next scene filled him with immense fear.

The real ghost removed its other arm and was about to replace it with Yan Li's arm.

As if putting together a puzzle.

"Yang Jian, quick, stop it! Absolutely don't let it replace my arm. My hand contains ghost blood, if it replaces it, the consequences will be unimaginable..." Yan Li shouted urgently.

His whole body was trembling.

The previous guess was correct.

This was a trap.

Both he and Yang Jian were the prey of this ghost, whose goal was to obtain a better body.

Because human corpses decay and become useless after a while, this ghost had to constantly change bodies and heads.

But the body of a ghost master was different, as it contained the true ghost.

Once a ghost controls a ghost, the terror would increase exponentially.

Because a ghost... does not die.

Before Yan Li could finish speaking, a red light flashed before his eyes.

The ghost disappeared.

His arm fell to the ground.

"I've got you. You hid deep, but since you entered my ghost domain, you can't leave unless I die." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Yang Jian's mouth.

Inside the ghost domain, a corpse stood before him, motionless, its head still turned 180 degrees.

But Yang Jian knew that the real ghost was inside this corpse.
