Chapter 59: Sealing the Stretching Ghost
Actually, it couldn't be said for sure that there was no substantial change because Chu Jiang imitated himself. In the end, it naturally looked almost the same as before.
But that was only on the surface because Chu Jiang imitated Chu Jiang, which also included the Blood Hand Ghost that he hosted.
In this way, the supernatural power in Chu Jiang's right hand became a combination of the extracted Blood Hand power and the power imitated by the Imitation Ghost.
Even though the Imitation Ghost could only provide less than a tenth of enhancement, it could easily become the deciding factor in the final outcome.
This was the flexible use of supernatural power.
While being briefly entangled, Chu Jiang ignored the ghost's hair and simply pushed it aside, making room for his right hand to be placed on top of the ghost's head.
During this process, the ghost's hair would also instinctively wrap around Chu Jiang's hand, trying to attack him.
However, at the same time, the ghost's hair also helped to restrain some of the ghost's power.
So, the overall balance of power between Chu Jiang and the ghost's head remained the same, or even tilted in Chu Jiang's favor due to the power of the Imitation Ghost.
Chu Jiang exerted all his strength to wrap his blood around the entire dead person's head.
During this process, he also showed signs of pain, partly due to the influence of the ghost's head and hair, but mostly from the pain within himself.
Chu Jiang's blood throughout his body became restless, as if it wanted to flow completely into his right hand, draining it all at once.
This was the fate of a Ghost Master, especially one who had just embarked on this path without many means of control. The more they recklessly used supernatural powers, the deeper they were consumed by the ghosts.
......
Luckily, Chu Jiang came out on top in the end.
Just like last time when he completely suppressed the Imitation Ghost, about ten minutes later, Chu Jiang successfully suppressed the Stretching Ghost, causing it to fall into silence.
Then Chu Jiang quickly dragged this thing out of the ghost's entanglement and sealed it in a pottery jar using a Protective Talisman.
This time, Chu Jiang got clever and didn't directly give the Stretching Ghost to the Ghost Diary to eat; otherwise, the diary would automatically flip pages and the effect of foreseeing the future would be wasted again.
Even though he thought this "foreseeing the future" was useless, Chu Jiang never wasted anything he shouldn't waste.
Sometimes, just a little piece of future information might save your life.
At least back in Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, he was able to escape from the classroom first relying on this.
The ghost head disappeared, and Chu Jiang also moved away from the corpse. With the ghost's interference gone, it began to recover quickly and was about to crawl out from Deng Chengren's body.
So Chu Jiang shouted towards the other end of the road, "Fang Tianci! If you're not dead, come help!"
According to logic, Stretching Ghost had already been sealed by him, so Fang Tianci should have regained consciousness.
Let them deal with the mess next, Chu Jiang was too weak to seal another ghost. He was afraid of misusing his supernatural powers and dying on this 18th Avenue any minute.
......
Soon, Fang Tianci, Yun Changfeng, and Shi Tao rushed over quickly.
Fang Tianci had a gloomy face, with some injuries and dirty clothes, but he seemed to be okay.
Yun Changfeng still wore a mask, but he was surprised to see the red embroidery ball placed neatly next to Chu Jiang and Deng Chengren's wildly expanding hair.
Shi Tao's face was full of doubt and astonishment. Although he had been observing the situation from a distance, he couldn't see clearly.
Moreover, Chu Jiang was quick in his movements. Almost immediately after killing Deng Chengren, he started making use of his body.
Therefore, Shi Tao could only see Chu Jiang throwing Deng Chengren's body up in the air as if he were throwing a bowling ball...
When the three Ghost Masters arrived, they didn't immediately talk to Chu Jiang, who seemed a little down, but instead started to clean up Deng Chengren's body together.
After about ten minutes, they finally dealt with this danger. Thankfully, the ghost hadn't fully recovered yet, otherwise it would have been even more difficult to handle.
After Fang Tianci sealed Deng Chengren's body along with the ghost, he turned to Chu Jiang.
Even though his scarred face looked unpleasant, Fang Tianci still nodded at Chu Jiang and said, "Thank you. I wasn't thinking clearly before."
This was Fang Tianci admitting defeat, considering he had previously been adamant about killing Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang waved his hand, "No need to thank me. Let's talk rewards."
"Let's discuss the rewards later. You won't be left empty-handed. I just want to know how you dealt with the Stretching Ghost."
"And what happened here just now?"
Although Fang Tianci had some issues with his thinking earlier, he wasn't foolish. He saw what he needed to see. Shi Tao also explained the rest when he arrived just now.
"It's very simple. This person named Zheng wants to possess the red ball."
"Although I look down on him, it's rare for someone to take the initiative to deal with the ghost, so I helped him out."
"The rest is even simpler. He was chased by the ghost, and with my guidance, he willingly threw the ball away."
"Taking advantage of this short break, Deng Chengren said he risked everything for this ball and asked me to throw it for him."
"I am easily persuaded, so of course I helped out again."
"As you have seen, with Deng Chengren's help, I successfully sealed Stretching Ghost, but sadly he sacrificed himself." Chu Jiang spoke with a hint of regret in his tone.
In addition, when sealing the ghost's head just now, Chu Jiang casually took it and rolled it a few times on Deng Chengren's body. Therefore, the blood handprint has already completely rotted away, erasing any evidence.
Hearing Chu Jiang's explanation, all three people looked at him with a strange gaze. Did they really think of them as three-year-old children? Deng Chengren was not someone willing to sacrifice himself.
Chu Jiang didn't care about their glances and simply said, "I wonder if that Sincerity Company will give me any trouble afterwards?"
Fang Tianci heard what was said and just waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will explain it to them. Deng Chengren's death was just an accident. If they don't believe me, then they are disrespecting me."
Seeing this, Chu Jiang also smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you with that."
Certainly, Fang Tianci also knew that Deng Chengren's death was not normal, but his life was saved by Chu Jiang, so naturally he would help Chu Jiang.
And to be honest, in Fang Tianci's mind, it was more useful to have a good relationship with Chu Jiang than with Sincerity Company.
This was a world where strength mattered, and this Chu Jiang... was not simple, not simple at all.
Fang Tianci had had many encounters with Stretching Ghost, and had been slipped away by him several times. He knew very well how difficult this ghost was.
And Chu Jiang, who has only been in the supernatural circle for a few days, actually sealed Stretching Ghost with Deng Chengren's "help"??
This meant that Chu Jiang's future was far from limited to this.
If he could grow and fully explore his potential, then he was very likely to become the top figure in the supernatural circle in the future.
