Both beauty and money have been used, to be honest, Yang Xiao was also a bit curious about what means would be used to tempt them if Ming Ye was involved, and Yang Xiao wanted to challenge his own weaknesses.
Yang Xiao quickly relayed his plan to Tong Han, to which the latter frowned, "No, it’s too dangerous!"
"No problem, trust me, I won’t use my real body, it’s with the Japanese Female Ghost from last time."
Yang Xiao explained to her that he wanted Tong Han to guard his real body while he used the ghost phone’s ability to contact the "resurrected" old village chief to see what he’s up to.
In the afternoon, while walking around the village, Yang Xiao proactively suggested visiting the old village chief’s house, and when no one noticed, he hid Chai Yong’s phone in a pile of firewood in the corner of the old village chief’s living room. ƒreewebɳovel.com
After promising Tong Han repeatedly that he wouldn’t take any risks, she finally agreed. After putting on the Drama Robe, Yang Xiao called Chai Yong’s phone with the ghost phone, and in the next second, that eerie sensation swept over him, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already standing in the courtyard outside the old village chief’s house.
The body was still that of the Japanese Female Ghost, which gave Yang Xiao confidence—not risking his own body felt amazing, and he finally understood the feeling of being controlled by a good elder sister.
The ability of the Soul-Capturing Mirror was restricted, so Yang Xiao chose not to use it. With a Ghost Lantern in his left hand and a Human Bone Staff in his right, this set was his best lineup against ghosts.
Cautiously opening the door, just like Chai Yong did last night, Yang Xiao saw the sleeping old village chief.
But when Yang Xiao controlled the green light to cover the old village chief’s body, an abnormality appeared. In the green light state, the old village chief actually had his eyes open, with a pair of strange, slanted eyes on his face, mouth slightly open, face withered and frightening, looking just like a fierce ghost!
Seizing the initiative, Yang Xiao pulled out the Human Bone Staff and swung it down, knocking the old village chief flat out. He didn’t even twitch and just lay motionless.
Last night, he heard Chai Yong mention it before; with one move, the old village chief was dead, had stopped breathing completely.
Yang Xiao didn’t rashly approach. He first meticulously checked the old village chief with the Ghost Lantern. After confirming everything was fine, he moved closer, but as with last night, besides the scars on the chest and back, he found nothing.
Unconvinced, Yang Xiao inspected the room again but still made no new discoveries. The place lived as if it housed an ordinary person.
As a familiar discomfort came over him again, in the blink of an eye, Yang Xiao’s consciousness returned to Tong Han’s residence, back to his own body. Seeing his safe return, the heart Tong Han had been holding finally settled.
Yang Xiao recounted the night’s events to Tong Han, who also couldn’t make sense of it, but she reminded Yang Xiao to be careful tonight, as Chai Yong was killed after returning home, and suggested he stay there for the night. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Not wanting to burden his friends, Yang Xiao immediately comforted Tong Han with a few words and left, returning to his residence through a mirror left in the room.
However, Tong Han’s warning was correct. Chai Yong died mysteriously; the doors and windows weren’t broken, and he couldn’t have been foolish enough to open the door for an outsider. So the killer couldn’t have been a villager; it must have been the Source Ghost.
Time was now the most precious. According to information inadvertently revealed by Professor Yuan, two days later would be their death deadline.
Tonight, at most including tomorrow night, they must deal with the Source Ghost, or they would have to forcefully break through.
But honestly, the people around him now were too weak; the success rate of forcefully leaving was incredibly low.
With the Drama Robe always worn, Yang Xiao was determined. He was waiting for that Source Ghost that might come for him.
Daytime was shortening, as was nighttime, with the time of the whole world proportionally shortening. Once the day and night time completely reduced to zero, the connection between this world and the real world would be severed.
Yang Xiao sat by the table, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, and took a small sip. Fortunately, their supplies were still enough; this was one of the few good pieces of news.
Suddenly, a phone ringtone started, and almost instinctively, Yang Xiao didn’t hold the mineral water bottle steady, and it fell to the ground.
He frantically pulled out his phone. Yes, it was his own phone—here, where there shouldn’t be any signal or even time, someone was calling in!
And then seeing the number displayed, Yang Xiao’s mind buzzed—it was from Chai Yong.
This scene gave Yang Xiao a déjà vu; this was his ability, the ghost phone!
Realizing this, Yang Xiao immediately pulled up the sleeve of the Drama Robe to check the ghost phone embroidery on his arm, and to his utter surprise, the embroidery was gone.
Not completely gone; if looked at closely, there was a faint shadow, but he could no longer awaken it with spiritual power.
This feeling was bizarre—he could sense the presence of the ghost phone but couldn’t control it; the usage right of the ghost phone had been taken away.
The ghost had actually taken his ability, now using it to come and kill him.
The terror of this Japanese Female Ghost was something Yang Xiao deeply understood; back at Jingping Manor, this female ghost had nearly slaughtered the hundreds of people there, with even dozens of brothers from the Patrol Defense Office dying at its hands.
This female ghost’s strongest abilities were twofold: pursuing her target regardless of distance and invisibility.
Luckily, Yang Xiao had experience dealing with her. He immediately drew the Ghost Lantern, as the green light spread out like ripples, revealing the location of the Japanese Female Ghost. The ghost lowered her head; she was a head taller than Yang Xiao, lifting her left arm and swaying step by step towards him.
Yang Xiao thought it was a close call; thankfully, he discovered it early, or else no one could save him if the ghost got closer.
He didn’t rush to act. He was searching, looking for the possible presence of another ghost—the real Source Ghost.
But after a search, he found no trace, at least not nearby.
Yang Xiao didn’t dare to relax; he worried that once he attacked the Japanese Female Ghost, the ghost hidden in the dark would seize the opportunity to ambush him.
At this moment, Yang Xiao genuinely understood the horror of that Source Ghost. This guy had silently stolen and controlled the Japanese Female Ghost. A freak like himself could still fight back, but if it were an Angel Envoy with only one magic artifact on them, they would basically be waiting for death.
Dying under one’s own magic artifact by a fierce ghost, Yang Xiao could imagine the despair Chai Yong felt at that time; no wonder he died unjustly.
With his right hand gripping the Human Bone Staff, Yang Xiao stepped back while keenly sensing. His spiritual power had grown stronger, and his use of magic artifacts improved. The Human Bone Staff could sense evil thoughts, and the now advancing female ghost exuded terrifying malice all over.
No, there’s only this malice... Yang Xiao looked up at the female ghost before him, frowning. The malice emanating from the female ghost felt strange, different from their first encounter—like... like it was mingled with something peculiar.
In the next second, Yang Xiao’s pupils contracted; he seemed to realize something and raised the Human Bone Staff, striking at the female ghost.
This strike used 70 to 80 percent of his strength, causing the female ghost’s body to violently lurch backward, and it was this jolt that allowed Yang Xiao to see a horrifying scene—there was another ghost clinging to the female ghost’s back.
The ghost was small and only had an upper body without legs, wrapped in a ragged black cloak. It wasn’t hugging the female ghost’s neck or gripping her shoulders with two hands but had a stick inserted into the female ghost’s body from behind, hanging itself on it.
This was the Source Ghost!
It was the one manipulating the Japanese Female Ghost to kill him; Chai Yong died at its hands!
Seeing this, Yang Xiao didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately unleashed his killer move. He had been slowly gathering energy, and now he tossed out the Ghost Lantern. The green octagonal light cage descended, enclosing both the Japanese Female Ghost and the Source Ghost behind it.
