Chapter 58: Blood Handprint
It was already very difficult for Shi Tao to hold back the ghost. Now, hearing Deng Chengren's words, he almost couldn't believe it. If you want to steal someone else's seal, just say it, instead of trying to make yourself look good.
"Alright, let's finish this quickly." Chu Jiang agreed without thinking and signaled Shi Tao to release the ghost.
Shi Tao found Chu Jiang's decision somewhat bewildering.
However, seeing the blood continuously flowing from the other party's hand, as if they were prepared to take over, he decided to take back all of his ghost bandages.
Immediately, Chu Jiang swiftly took action. This time, he was determined. He used the blood to fix the upper part of the ghost's head and forcefully opened its mouth with his blood-covered hand!
If Chu Jiang's physical condition hadn't improved significantly, he wouldn't have been able to do this.
"Hurry!"
Deng Chengren saw this scene and was a little confused. On one hand, he was amazed at how powerful and reckless Chu Jiang was. Not only could he control blood precisely, but he could also forcefully pry open the ghost's mouth.
On the other hand, Deng Chengren never expected this guy to be so kind-hearted. Did he really think Chu Jiang was a selfless person?
Regardless, this was such a great opportunity that Deng Chengren couldn't afford to miss.
Deng Chengren's gloomy black hair surged out, tightly binding the already loose embroidered red ball, and forcefully pulled it out.
Even though the embroidered ball was still stained with murky corpse fluid, corroding Deng Chengren's ghostly hair quite a bit, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, immediately turning around and sprinting away.
Deng Chengren came by car, but he didn't dare to take it, fearing that it would trigger the ghost's special ability. He could only run while taking out his own phone, preparing to seek help.
As soon as Deng Chengren succeeded, Chu Jiang immediately let go.
As expected, a terrifying scene unfolded. The severed head's mouth moved up and down with a horrifying speed, chasing after Deng Chengren.
Although Deng Chengren didn't look back, he sensed a chilling force approaching from behind, causing goosebumps to rise all over his back.
"Hold on! Help me pull, or I will die!" This scared him so much that he almost dropped his phone.
"Okay," Chu Jiang agreed, while chasing after him. He instructed Shi Tao to stay put in case the ghost abandoned the embroidered ball and returned to Fang Tianci's body.
......
Chu Jiang was fast, but the dead head was even faster.
Seeing Deng Chengren about to be caught up, he didn't even have time to look down and dial on his phone. He could only let some of his long hair fly back to delay the pursuer as much as possible.
Soon, screams filled the air. The ghost's hair was quickly eaten away by the dead head, leaving Deng Chengren with very little time to delay.
Just when Deng Chengren was about to dial without hesitation, Chu Jiang shouted, "Throw the ball forward!"
This reminded Deng Chengren that the ghost's pursuit was much scarier than he had expected. Without anyone to delay the ghost, he had no chance of escaping back to the company.
Luckily, there was a brave young man behind him. Taking advantage of the reminder, Deng Chengren controlled the ghost's hair and fiercely tossed the red embroidered ball forward!
This really worked, Ghost Head immediately shook off Ghost Hair's entanglement, and chased after the embroidered ball.
Deng Chengren, who wasn't very physically fit, was now panting heavily, gradually slowing down his pace, and being caught up by Chu Jiang.
"Are you okay?" Chu Jiang spoke and placed a hand on Deng Chengren's shoulder.
Because he wanted to speak and deceive this kid to exert more effort, Deng Chengren didn't pay attention to the other person approaching.
But when the other person's hand touched him, Deng Chengren's face quickly turned pale, and his eyes lost their sparkle.
With a "thump," Deng Chengren's body fell to the ground. He was dead.
When he died, Deng Chengren's eyes were still wide open, as if he didn't understand what had happened.
Chu Jiang coldly retrieved his right hand, only to see a bright red, striking blood handprint on Deng Chengren's right shoulder. This handprint wasn't just on his clothes, but deeply imprinted into his flesh and blood.
Well, the killing pattern, or rather, the way the Blood Hand Ghost killed, had been officially discovered.
If someone got marked with the Blood Handprint, they would die, whether they were a regular person or a Ghost Master.
The only difference was that regular people couldn't withstand even a drop of Blood Hand Ghost's blood. But the Ghost Master could resist with supernatural powers. Only when a complete Blood Handprint was pressed onto the Ghost Master would it have a lethal effect.
Killing someone effortlessly, Chu Jiang remained calm and unaffected, more than he had imagined.
On one hand, Deng Chengren had already wanted to kill him; on the other hand, the fact that Chu Jiang was being haunted by ghosts was not unrelated...
On the other side, the ghost had already bitten onto the red silk ball again and was rushing back.
The reason why Chu Jiang helped Deng Chengren and let him take the red silk ball just now was to test the effectiveness of the seal.
Looking at it now, the red silk ball was indeed bizarre. The ball itself had been stolen, yet the vengeful ghost was still so obsessed with it. It was just unknown what the negative effect of this seal was.
Just as the decapitated head was about to pass him, Chu Jiang grabbed Deng Chengren's corpse with one hand and slammed it fiercely into the air!
This was not merely a physical attack. The fresh blood on Chu Jiang's right hand had already transferred to Deng Chengren's corpse, not to mention he had aimed at the opponent with Deng Chengren's head.
With that, the Ghost Hair would definitely collide with the Ghost Head.
Although the host died, the ghost itself would not die. On the contrary, the Ghost Hair would quickly recover and soon detach from Deng Chengren's body, becoming a separate ghost.
Chu Jiang's throwing attack didn't directly knock down the Ghost Head.
However, the Ghost Hair was affected by the decaying supernatural power of the Ghost Head and started to counterattack spontaneously.
Thus, a very strange scene appeared: The hair of a corpse wrapped around a dead person's head, carried by the biting ball's head, flying all the time.
Chu Jiang, of course, wouldn't let the Ghost Head fly away. He followed the blood connecting to the body and once again dragged the Ghost Head down from the air.
At the same time, Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Diary and touched the first page.
In theory, borrowing the power of the Imitation Ghost at this time wouldn't be very useful.
Because the Imitation Ghost was able to imitate supernatural powers, such as the Stretching Ghost in front of him.
But its original form imitated others mysteriously, and it was already a significantly weakened version.
Now, after borrowing from the Ghost Diary, the power it imitated was even more weakened, causing direct fractures. It was estimated to be only one-tenth, or even less, of the original version. So what was the use of borrowing this power?
However, Chu Jiang clearly had his own ideas. His figure blurred for a moment and then... surprisingly, there was no change at all? Chu Jiang remained Chu Jiang.
