Chapter 68: Phantom Eyes
Because they only made eye contact, Chu Jiang thought he could use the power of the Blood Hand Ghost to dispel the supernatural power of the skull ghost.
But what he didn't expect was that even after the blood washed over his eyes for a while, Chu Jiang's vision remained dark. He seemed... blind.
This left Chu Jiang stunned. It shouldn't be like this.
He could sense that the skull ghost, although powerful, was not in a free state. There was a mutual restraining relationship between it and the long-haired woman.
At the same time, the passengers were uninjured because the skull ghost was restricting the bizarre entities that were causing chaos. It was a chain of interconnected relationships.
Therefore, the other party didn't have any intention to attack. Chu Jiang's eyes were not severely damaged beyond the limits, so logically he shouldn't have such serious injuries.
While Chu Jiang was calmly analyzing the situation, suddenly, his eyes felt a sharp pain!
This pain almost made Chu Jiang cry out, but he bit his teeth tightly and even bit his lips to stop himself from making any sound.
As the inexplicable pain gradually eased, Chu Jiang's vision became blurry, but he could see things again.
When the pain finally faded away like a receding tide, Chu Jiang realized that not only could he see more clearly than before, but he could also see farther and even zoom in on details of scenes in the distance.
At the same time, those supernatural things became more vivid in Chu Jiang's eyes; he could even see through some thinner objects when he focused his gaze.
This amazed Chu Jiang, and he turned his head to look at the glass window.
Then he noticed that a part of his pupils had turned grayish-white; to be precise, the change occurred in the center of his black pupils.
The grayish-white color was very light, and if people didn't look carefully, they wouldn't notice it; even if someone didn'tice, they would probably just think that Chu Jiang was sick.
Chu Jiang just stared at his reflection for a few seconds and then shook his head, diverting his gaze.
It's difficult, the Ghost called Blood Hand is further damaging the body.
Of course, Chu Jiang also gained stronger abilities because of this. It's just the beginning, as time goes on, these eyes will be able to see more and more...
It's all very simple, the power of the Skeleton Ghost stimulated the Blood Hand Ghost inside Chu Jiang's body. This ghost is complete, not just a right hand.
Because the eyes were attacked by supernatural powers, the Blood Hand Ghost instinctively fought back, causing some of the supernatural power to penetrate Chu Jiang's eyes.
This is only the initial erosion. In the end, Chu Jiang's eyes will probably change completely like the boy not far away, into a different color.
At this point, Chu Jiang turned his head and looked at the skeleton ghost as if nothing had happened, even if he directly confronted the two clusters of ghostly fire.
After looking for a while, Chu Jiang withdrew his gaze and decided to ask the long-haired woman what happened when she woke up.
......
Three hours later, the plane finally landed slowly. The sound and vibration during landing woke up the sleeping long-haired woman from her dream.
As soon as she opened her eyes, the entire airplane cabin, which was like a picture of hell, instantly became clear.
All strange things disappeared, and the tall white skeleton behind the woman also vanished.
At the same time, the passengers also felt much more comfortable. Many of them had been feeling inexplicably oppressed today, and some suspected that they were experiencing airsickness.
After waking up, the woman took off her sunglasses and earphones, rubbed her eyes, and sighed, "I fell asleep. It's been a long time since I had a good sleep."
Finishing her sentence, she looked apologetically at Chu Jiang beside her. "Something must have happened while I was asleep, right? But I took precautions, so it shouldn't have caused much impact, right?"
Chu Jiang pointed to his own eyes without expression.
The woman with long hair observed carefully and quickly understood what had happened.
This made her even more embarrassed. "It seems like the extent of your erosion has deepened. How about I make it up to you?"
Before the woman could finish her sentence, the eerie little boy appeared in front of them, staring at her intensely.
The boy appeared very scary, just like a ghost in a horror movie, he suddenly appeared right in front of you.
Luckily, only a few people saw this scene, they were rubbing their eyes desperately. If more people had seen it, it might have caused a small commotion.
"Little friend, have we not met before? Why do you have such hostility towards me?" The woman with long hair smiled warmly at the other person.
The boy didn't say anything, he just looked at her.
That middle-aged man also saw this scene, but he felt helpless.
As the plane gradually stopped, the passengers started to pack their belongings and prepare to get off the plane.
Seeing the woman look at Chu Jiang, "I have something to do right now, how about you come to Research Institute No. 21 these days when you have time, and I'll make it up to you."
Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised, "You're also from the institute?"
"Since we're on the same side, then forget it. I joined from the other side."
Even though he didn't really feel like he belonged to the research institute, Chu Jiang thought it was important to build good relationships with his future colleagues, even if they might not be in the same department.
"Oh, I see. You must be the new recruit. I came back here to attend a meeting. There were some important matters, so they called in a group of team leaders."
The woman with long hair stood up and started walking towards the door along with the crowd. "Let's talk about it after you officially join the company."
Team leader? Chu Jiang had never heard that title before.
Is it a higher position than the supervisor? This woman must be someone special...
As the woman left, the boy in black quickly followed, and the middle-aged chubby man hurriedly went after them. They soon disappeared into the crowd.
Chu Jiang was among the last group to get off the plane to avoid getting involved in the conflict between those two.
When he entered the airport, both the woman with long hair and the boy in black seemed to have already left.
Great, Chu Jiang planned to go to the hotel first since he still had two more hours before the appointed time.
......
The city where Chu Jiang is located is called Yunjing City.
However, the headquarters of the research institute is not in the city, but in a remote suburb.
This is normal because the headquarters needs to study ghosts and also needs to seal many ghosts, which inevitably poses certain security risks.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to set the headquarters in the city, even the outskirts are not allowed. It must be outside the city and there should be a considerable distance as a buffer zone.
Due to the uniqueness of this city, it is probably the safest city in the entire country.
After Chu Jiang arrived here, there were specialized staff to pick him up, and the service was very professional. He didn't need to worry about anything throughout the journey.
At one-thirty in the afternoon, Chu Jiang boarded a bulletproof steel plated vehicle and headed towards the deserted mountains...
