Chapter 93: Fierce Battle
As long as we don't trigger the ghost's killing rule, then there should be no danger, right?
No, being close to a ghost itself is dangerous.
Firstly, ghosts naturally emit a chilling, deathly energy, and the stronger the ghost, the more terrifying the energy it emits. This energy can easily cause death.
Secondly, ghosts don't just kill when their killing rule is triggered; the closer you get, the more likely you are to be attacked. If you have direct physical contact with them, there's a high chance that the ghost will kill.
Therefore, Chu Jiang's pursuit of the ghost is quite risky, but he still wants to do it.
Originally, Chu Jiang thought that if he applauded for the ghost or something, it might be touched and shed tears, and then it would obediently listen to him in the future.
But the truth is, he was really overthinking it. A ghost is just a ghost.
Because Chu Jiang has left the Ghost Domain theater, he can now fully use his powers. He hesitated for a moment, then combined the powers of the Ghost Diary and the Imitation Ghost, making Blood Hand even stronger.
Then Chu Jiang pressed his right hand on the ground, and in an instant, countless blood gushed out!
They rapidly sealed off the entire activity room, covering the floor, walls, doors, and ceiling with a layer of bright red blood.
Blocking the female ghost's escape route, Chu Jiang cautiously approached.
Even so, the female ghost didn't directly attack Chu Jiang. It leaned against the wall and hesitated for a moment before extending its right hand.
But before its hand could break through the blood blockade, Chu Jiang grabbed its right hand with great force!
The touch was incredibly icy, as if penetrating into the depths of his bones.
"Ah~!"
Before Chu Jiang could recover from the chilling sensation, he let out a cry of pain, almost falling to the ground.
He was still a little reckless, or you could say too young.
Not all ghosts can be touched directly. It doesn't mean that touching Imitation Ghost and Stretching Ghost is harmless, nor does it mean that touching the Little Theater will be without consequences.
Besides, it wasn't all fine before. Whether it was the immobilization of the Imitation Ghost or the erosion of the Stretching Ghost, they had some impact on Chu Jiang. It was just that the power of the Blood Hand Ghost at that time held him together.
A safer measure is not to think about using the characteristics of the Blood Hand Ghost and directly suppress it, but to first have a fight.
Not to mention incapacitating the opponent in a short period of time, at least weaken a part of their strength first, and then personally apply the blood hand pressure.
The attack Chu Jiang is experiencing right now is not physical, but mental.
In his mind, countless fragmented personalities and memories suddenly emerged; these are not real, but the experiences of characters in various scripts.
These characters themselves are not complete individuals, even in a long script, it is impossible to describe every moment of a character's life in great detail.
It's a good thing that's the case, otherwise, at this moment, Chu Jiang might have been overwhelmed by numerous personalities and memories, leading to his consciousness being extinguished in this conflict.
When Chu Jiang was in extreme pain, his Blood Hand Ghost inside his body was also attacked by the supernatural, which stimulated it to become highly active.
At this moment, Chu Jiang had no time to care about the physical pain. He shamelessly used the power of his blood hand, as blood continued to surge out, trying to suppress the opponent.
He couldn't let go now. If he let go and allowed the opponent to attack further, Chu Jiang would likely die even faster. Only by completely suppressing the power of the female ghost could his mental state continue to improve.
With the high activity of the Blood Hand Ghost, it wasn't only his right hand and eyes that were affected, but other parts of his body were also being corroded by the ghost's power.
But at the same time, the power of his blood hand that Chu Jiang could unleash became even stronger.
Blood completely covered the red-clothed female ghost in theater costume, not only stopping its movements, but also continuously expelling those personalities and memories that belonged to Chu Jiang's spirit.
These things couldn't be left behind casually. If they were implanted into Chu Jiang's subconscious, it would easily lead to his mental fragmentation, making him not seem like himself and mistakenly believe that he was someone else.
Although Chu Jiang gradually gained the upper hand, the Ghost in the "Little Theater" hadn't completely lost its ability to resist. Its Ghost Domain seemed unable to be used indiscriminately, or perhaps it required certain conditions to unfold.
Otherwise, if Lin Qian's script were to happen again now, the female ghost could easily break free from Chu Jiang's control.
However, it was still very scary. Chu Jiang grabbed one of its hands, and it used its other hand to choke Chu Jiang.
The ghost woman's pupils had no trace of humanity, only silence and the instinct to kill.
Chu Jiang's throat bone "cracked" and was crushed. Even though the ghost woman was a formless entity, her displayed power was surprisingly strong.
If Chu Jiang were still an ordinary person, he would likely be done for now; his throat crushed, even if the other person let go, he would quickly suffocate to death.
But now, Chu Jiang was no longer ordinary. With a brief holding of his breath, he could last for at least ten minutes or more.
In this crucial moment, besides the Ghost Diary, Chu Jiang also had the Soul Guide Incense and the oil-paper umbrella as sealing items. But these were just auxiliary objects; one could attract ghosts, and the other could reduce one's own presence.
None of these items were of any use for the situation Chu Jiang was currently facing.
Should he temporarily feed Stretching Ghost to the Ghost Diary and obtain putrid supernatural power?
No, against a existence like the red-clothed ghost woman, that fifty percent power probably wouldn't have a significant effect. It would be better to continue using the power of Imitation Ghost, stacking it with Blood Hand to become stronger, even if it was just a bit.
Unfortunately, there was no car at the scene, and even if there was, it was very unlikely for the ghost lady to sit in it and drive. Otherwise, Chu Jiang could have tried to activate the special ability of the Stretching Ghost.
Chu Jiang tightly held the ghost lady's right hand with his right hand, and also grabbed her left hand with his left hand, trying to prevent her from further damaging his "fragile" body.
However, this was not very effective, and Chu Jiang could even hear the spooky singing voice.
Although the ghost lady's lips were slightly moving, the sound was not coming from her mouth, but from all directions, echoing in Chu Jiang's mind.
"With pain piercing my heart, tears falling on the ground~"
"Reed turns white, grass turns yellow, maple leaves splattered with blood, sparse stars and cold moon shining on the tombstone..."
Under this sorrowful singing voice, Chu Jiang couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with sadness, almost losing his will to resist.
And then the next line, "Alas, father! Your soul has returned, your soul has returned~"
Chu Jiang listened, tears streaming down his face, overwhelmed with grief, even completely letting go of his left hand, and slowly loosening his right hand as well.
But then, Chu Jiang tightened his right hand even more, and his tears, falling like raindrops, stopped. His expression changed to a lifeless stare, becoming more like a ghost than a human.
This was Chu Jiang further squandering the power of the Blood Hand Ghost...
