Chapter 118: Theater Ghost Domain
After understanding this rule, Chu Jiang turned back to the first page and touched the picture of the Imitation Ghost.
Then he could confirm that he couldn't borrow the abilities of two ghosts at the same time, but he could temporarily switch between them by touching their pictures.
Oh well, it's important to be content and not be too greedy, or else there won't be a good outcome.
So, next, let's try to see what it feels like to control the Ghost Domain.
Just as Chu Jiang had speculated before, using the Theater Ghost Domain requires having a script.
So he took out a printed simple script, borrowed the ability, and instantly unfolded the Ghost Domain!
Chu Jiang didn't make the range of Ghost Domain too large, only covering a hallway outside the room.
If by accident, he included the room behind him, it could lead to unpredictable changes and possibly bring unwanted ghostly encounters. So it's important to be cautious and careful when using the ability.
At this moment, Chu Jiang found himself in a peculiar state. With his eyes, he could see two worlds at the same time.
In one world, there is a normal villa corridor; in another world, there is the world of his script.
Chu Jiang set theater stage in an ancient execution ground, and he himself was the executioner holding a butcher's knife.
Next, whenever anyone enters, Chu Jiang can forcefully turn them into prisoners and make them kneel down, bound and only able to be beheaded by him.
This is the absolute advantage of the scene, where the executor can execute deserving criminals.
Why create such a simple script? Because Chu Jiang is not here to perform, but to achieve his own goals, so the simpler and more brutal, the better.
Like before, Lin Qian's script was so fancy, but in the end, Chu Jiang found loopholes and escaped.
In this decapitation scene, it's not just a matter of spitting out some blood, at least a head must be severed and hit the ground.
Moreover, when Chu Jiang wrote the script, he specifically marked that it is not publicly available and contains truly bloody scenes, aiming for the highest artistic realm.
He even described in detail the death state of the prisoners, so even if someone is clever, they cannot find loopholes like Chu Jiang did before.
As for why not just set oneself as God, or the Jade Emperor, the Buddha, or some other divine beings, that's also very simple.
Although the script can be written however one wants, it needs to have a basic sense of logic, otherwise if Chu Jiang writes something too outrageous, it will weaken the power of Ghost Domain.
In other words, Chu Jiang can set himself as a highly prestigious existence, even directly becoming Hongjun Laozu won't be impossible.
But Hongjun Laozu wouldn't really have a problem with an ordinary person, right? If we want the plot to be reasonable, then we would have to come up with a complicated and lengthy story.
If you want it to be straightforward, the opponent can't be weak. Not being weak means that your opponent in this scene will have powers beyond that of an ordinary person.
Chu Jiang dislikes these unexpected factors, so the script he has set is in a world without magic, maybe even in ancient times, where the possibility of a prisoner secretly having a gun doesn't exist.
At the same time, within the framework of this world without magic, Chu Jiang raises his own executioner's prestige as high as possible; in simple terms, it's the limit that an ordinary person can reach in this world without magic.
The executioner can take on hundreds of enemies barehanded, not to mention wielding a treasured knife that can cut through iron like clay and has soaked in the blood of numerous foes, while the opponent is just a prisoner tightly bound by ropes.
In fact, Chu Jiang doesn't restrict the number of prisoners, the script specifies that the number of prisoners will be determined by the actual actors entering the scene.
In other words, there is only one executioner, which is Chu Jiang himself, and the people who come later can only take on the role of prisoners, there is no third identity in the whole story.
This is the advantage of simplicity, you have to bring in an executioner and stage a scene of "take him out and behead him", then there are too many variables.
The sky was dark, Chu Jiang stood alone in the center of the execution ground, which was a crossroad in a busy market.
All the exits of the execution ground were blocked by tall wooden barriers, ensuring that the prisoners who enter have no way to escape.
As for the onlookers who should have been there, Chu Jiang wrote in the script that the criminal to be executed was extremely guilty, so the crowd was cleared in advance.
Chu Jiang's appearance is mostly based on his own original facial features, as a prototype to describe.
But unlike in reality, the Chu Jiang on stage is much taller, with well-developed and balanced muscles, reaching the perfect body proportions, both explosive and enduring.
Chu Jiang is wearing a dark red attire, the color resembling the fresh blood of the deceased; in his right hand, he grips a chilling and sharp ghost blade.
The sword is heavy, with a handle carved with a ghost head; the blade is extremely sharp, capable of cutting through jade and gold; there is a round opening on the spine of the sword, thick and wide, suitable for cleaving, making it most suitable for beheading.
As for the origin of the ghost blade, it is because ghosts are vengeful spirits that take lives, and the handle of the blade resembles a ghost's head, symbolizing the intent to take lives.
Standing in the self-created stage, Chu Jiang felt very good, as if he was the ruler here, able to instantly appear in any location within the Ghost Domain.
If an ordinary person enters this place by mistake, even if Chu Jiang clears the way and removes obstacles, they still can't escape from here.
Chu Jiang can even change the physical laws within the Ghost Domain, such as making "void" and "solid" intersect, or causing "solid" and "solid" to overlap.
For example, attaching a person's hand to their head, and they can still live normally within the Ghost Domain without dying...
Of course, everything looks very wonderful, but the biggest problem is that Chu Jiang only has fifty percent of the power in the Little Theater.
In other words, when facing the Ghost Master Chu Jiang, there is still some confidence.
However, when facing real ghosts... this Ghost Domain might not be able to completely seal off the opponent's supernatural powers, at least not completely.
Otherwise, if Chu Jiang was truly invincible, the Ghost Diary wouldn't have written that he was killed by being overwhelmed by ghosts.
Oh, wait a minute, let's be more careful, it might lead to danger. Because Chu Jiang believes that the Ghost Diary will definitely be the one to pick the peaches in the end.
Furthermore, there is another danger. Chu Jiang looks at his own body. He can clearly sense the detrimental effects the supernatural power of the Little Theater has on his body, as well as the mental pressure it brings.
As mentioned before, even if borrowing the power of the ghosts through the Ghost Diary, it still brings a burden to oneself.
However, the ghosts in the Ghost Diary usually don't harm Chu Jiang, they only have an effect on him when he borrows their power.
It was fine borrowing the power of the Imitation Ghost before, the impact wasn't as strong as that of the Blood Hand Ghost. But once in the Little Theater, the pressure from these ghosts with the Ghost Domain became noticeably stronger all of a sudden.
