Chapter 97

Is Yang Jian crazy?

He is not crazy.

He is just taking a gamble, betting that his guess is correct.

Previously, he was hesitant, which led to the measures that broke the balance. However, there was also a mystery in the incident with the old woman.

Why did the old woman mislead them with a cough?

If the sick ghost really exists, then this behavior would be equivalent to breaking the balance on its own, which clearly does not match the previous situation.

Although he has doubts, now is not the time to think about it. Now, he needs to consider how to survive.

"Here it comes~!"

Yang Jian took a deep breath as he watched the black shadow emerge from the golden box.

The black shadow changed on the ground, like a cloud of black smoke, without a definite form, as if it were a shadow.

"What kind of ghost is this?"

Zhang Yiming was on high alert, ready to use the power of the fierce ghost at any moment.

Zhang Han's body also showed signs of abnormality, and the ghost on his back could appear at any time.

"I don't want to tell you. Although I made a mistake, most of the responsibility for this situation lies with you. Because of your initial lack of trust in me, it led to a wrong action. And now, knowing the information about this ghost is not important anymore," Yang Jian said coldly.

"Uh..."

The two felt a surge of anger. At this moment, are you still so petty?

Yang Jian is not being petty; he is holding back.

He cannot let these two interfere with his plan anymore.

Although they did not help much in Huanggang Village, they fulfilled their role as cannon fodder.

Without the deaths of the previous people, if Yang Jian had come to Huanggang Village alone, he would have died on the first night. Previously, he was lucky that the fierce ghost did not choose to kill him first but instead killed He Sheng, who liked to play with women.

Otherwise, the curse of certain death when alone would have fallen on him.

After all, Yang Jian had been acting alone before.

Now, looking back, the initial club's information sharing was quite effective.

This group of scapegoats saved Yang Jian several times.

But what is owed must be repaid. Their interference in the previous action led to the current situation.

At this moment.

The shadow on the ground gradually stood up, beginning to regain its previous form.

A human-shaped figure appeared before the three of them.

But this figure... had no head.

Yes, it is the headless ghost shadow.

As soon as the headless ghost shadow appeared, it immediately moved towards Yang Jian, seeking a body.

Yang Jian was currently in the ghost domain state, and the headless ghost shadow could not enter the ghost domain, passing right through it.

As if it were truly a shadow without a physical form.

"Compared to the ghosts here, seeing you again, I find you as cute as my little brother," Yang Jian said, looking at the headless ghost shadow, regardless of whether it understood: "I will give you a body, and you can go find other ghosts. This village should have what you need."

He then opened the body bag.

To be precise, this was not a corpse but a ghost slave.

Without a body, the ghost shadow's movements were inconvenient.

After Yang Jian took out the corpse, he looked at the headless ghost shadow.

If it did not choose this body, he would help the ghost shadow choose.

The headless ghost shadow was obedient at the critical moment.

After failing to attack Yang Jian, it chose the special corpse on the ground.

The ghost shadow quickly merged with the corpse, silently and without any obstruction.

A moment later, the corpse moved.

The old woman, with only half a head and severely rotted in many places, stood up from the ground, her face expressionless, completely devoid of the kind demeanor she had before. She was now just as cold and numb as the corpses in the mall.

"Phew, Yang Jian, you really know how to play. I never thought you would come up with such a special way," Zhang Han took a breath. He did not know what kind of existence this ghost was, but the eerie and evil nature of controlling a corpse made him feel extremely wary and uneasy.

"Yang Jian, do you want to raise a ghost?"

Zhang Yiming also said with great wariness: "It's like playing with fire. Calling you crazy is a compliment. Although this ghost was imprisoned by you and Yan Li, you must know some of its characteristics, but ghosts are too dangerous, with many uncertainties. You can't control them."

At this moment, he realized that the old woman was no longer a ghost slave but... a real ghost.

"Say what you want. My plan will continue, but you should worry about your own safety. Look around, I hope to see you still alive when I come out again. Now, I need to hide."

Yang Jian then crawled into the empty body bag.

The body bag can imprison fierce ghosts and protect the person hiding inside, a flexible use.

He had gritted his teeth and spent 20 million on it precisely because of this.

Now, it seems the money was well spent.

It has finally come in handy.

"You..." Zhang Yiming did not say anything more.

Now, each person must save their own life. Talking about useless things is a waste of time.

Because it was getting darker.

The village, which had a few lights before, now had none, the darkness was oppressive, making people feel suffocated.

"Back to the car." Zhang Yiming immediately turned and fled.

His car had some equipment, maybe it could help.

Of course, using the power of the fierce ghost could ensure his safety, but it was temporary... once the limit was reached, he would still die when the fierce ghost revived.

"Yang Jian, you are really well-prepared, even thinking of a way out." Zhang Han said with jealousy and hatred, then turned and ran.

"Good night, see you tomorrow."

Yang Jian called out and prepared to close the body bag.

However, as the two turned to flee, Yang Jian saw the old woman, possessed by the headless ghost shadow, slowly following them... and finally chose Zhang Yiming's direction.

The darkness deepened again, making it impossible to see clearly.

Yang Jian did not know what emergency measures Zhang Yiming would have when he returned to the car.

He only knew that the danger revealed in the darkness was becoming more terrifying.

It was like falling into hell, no one knew what would happen next.

"I hope my guess is correct. If everything goes as expected, the balance in this village will be restored. If it fails, I will be trapped to death in this body bag."

Yang Jian did not dare to stay outside any longer and retreated into the body bag.

A moment later.

Huanggang Village was completely enveloped in darkness.

Terror descended~!
