Chapter 120: The Curse of the Attached Bone
Chu Jiang didn't have time to think, so he assumed that the other person had the ability to create a duplicate of themselves.
Blood instantly flowed from his right hand, completely covering the ghost blade. Then, he swiftly swung the blade towards the ghost behind him!
This powerful strike aimed directly at the ghost's neck from behind, intending to decapitate it!
Chu Jiang believed that even if the strike couldn't immediately get rid of the ghost, it would still cause some damage due to the combined power of Blood Hand Ghost and Little Theater ghosts.
However, something unexpected happened once again. The icy blade pierced through the body of the Stretching Ghost with a slight difference, stopping at the back of Chu Jiang's own neck.
This blade wasn't able to touch this ghost!
But this shouldn't have happened. The ghost blade itself was a part of the Ghost Domain, not an ordinary weapon.
Even with a normal weapon, it should be able to cut through ghosts when coated with supernatural blood.
Chu Jiang, who was determined, swung his weapon again, this time aiming for a different body part, going straight for the opponent's head.
But the result remains the same, the ghost blade went straight through, as if Chu Jiang was struggling against an insurmountable shadow.
Feeling the growing weight of the pressure behind him as time passed, Chu Jiang had no choice but to temporarily transfer the ghost blade to his left hand, and then blood started oozing from his right hand.
At this moment, he has to give it our all. He still needs to use the actual Blood Handprint.
This hand possessed the ability to suppress powerful ghosts. Chu Jiang couldn't believe that even with the blood hand, he still couldn't touch the opponent.
Chu Jiang slapped his right hand against his back, preparing himself for the invasion of the opponent's consciousness. After all, he learned from the previous encounter with the Little Theater.
However, the result... he couldn't even touch the opponent. The blood hand passed right through!
This attempt shattered Chu Jiang's understanding of the Blood Hand Ghost. Could it be that there were ghosts it couldn't touch? If that's the case, how could it suppress them??
Is Blood Hand Ghost too weak? Or is the ghost pressing too abnormal?
Or... neither of them.
Chu Jiang suddenly realized something, is it possible that the ghost pressing is not actually a ghost?
No, to be precise, what is currently clinging to Xu Yanting's back and Chu Jiang's back are not ghosts. They are more like a curse, a curse originating from a certain ghost...
This curse is like a stubborn sore, it cannot be rid of by ordinary means.
Moreover, this curse is contagious. If it wasn't for Chu Jiang evacuating all irrelevant people beforehand, it is likely that everyone's back would now have an additional ghost.
Just thinking about that scene is terrifying.
Xu Yanting, of course, also saw the ghost behind Chu Jiang, and witnessed Chu Jiang's attempt. This made the old man feel a bit desperate. Can't even professionals get rid of this filthy thing?
After Chu Jiang's unsuccessful attempt, his face also looked bad.
He is now a very unlucky person, first cursed by the Ghost Diary, and now haunted by another curse.
Speaking of the Ghost Diary, are you just going to watch like that? Shouldn't there be some kind of conflict between you? Can a person be affected by more than one curse?
In anger, Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Diary and flipped to the third page, trying to use it to absorb the curse that was haunting him.
It turned out to be useless. Chu Jiang had suspected before that there were conditions for the Ghost Diary to absorb ghosts, similar to the conditions for sealing ghosts.
Not to mention, what was currently plaguing Chu Jiang was not even a ghost, but just a non-corporeal curse.
Xu Yanting didn't see this attempt because it was Chu Jiang's Ghost Domain, where he could control what others could see. Creating illusions in the Ghost Domain was child's play.
......
What should they do now? Although Chu Jiang could hold on for the time being, the saying goes that a person cannot outlast a ghost. They had to resolve things quickly and decisively.
If they couldn't do it, there was only one dead end...
Chu Jiang encountered a temporary problem and decided to contact Chen Yuting for advice. He had never faced this kind of curse before, so he hadn't looked up any information about it.
Another option was to use the power of the Imitation Ghost to see if he could imitate it and fight back in the same way.
However, there were two problems with this. First, if he borrowed the power of the Imitation Ghost, he would have to shut down the Ghost Domain, and Chu Jiang wasn't sure if he could handle it without the Ghost Domain.
The second problem was that Chu Jiang had never seen the actual Ghost possession before. So far, he had only seen the curse derived from it, and he wasn't sure if he could imitate the other person.
In the end, Chu Jiang decided to make a call using the satellite phone.
Luckily, the curse in the area didn't block the signal, so he managed to connect with Chen Yuting.
Chu Jiang briefly explained the situation to Chen Yuting and asked her to find a way to support him. Otherwise, they might need to send a new person to take charge in Luohe City.
Chen Yuting agreed to help, but she could only pass on the situation to higher-ups and search for information in the database. They had to patiently wait for further instructions.
Chu Jiang put down his phone for the moment and continued to think of ways to save himself.
Is there any way to temporarily suppress this cursed curse? Like what Xu Yanting did before, as long as it's not instantly deadly, Chu Jiang doesn't need to stay here and suffer with the Ghost Domain.
As long as the time of being cursed can be extended, Chu Jiang can even go back to headquarters to see if the stronger ones there can help.
After thinking about it, it still has to start with Xu Yanting.
Chu Jiang put away his knife and approached the old man.
At this moment, Xu Yanting also had a worried expression. He helplessly smiled at Chu Jiang and said, "Sorry for getting you involved. If there's really no way, you can just leave me and run."
Chu Jiang shook his head, "We can't run. If we don't find a solution, both of us will die together."
"Now we still need to figure out the reason behind your sudden deterioration earlier. Do you think it has something to do with the change in the jade pendant?"
Xu Yanting recalled, "I'm not really sure, but as soon as you left, the condition suddenly worsened without any warning signs."
"Then I'll take off your amulet to have a look. Don't worry, you won't die here."
Speaking, Chu Jiang reached out and took off the jade pendant, while Xu Yanting lowered his head in agreement.
With the jade pendant in hand, Xu Yanting didn't actually drop dead, but as time passed, both of them felt an increasing weight on their backs.
This made Chu Jiang hurry to check.
However... no matter how much he turned it over, he couldn't figure anything out, which gave him a terrible headache.
"After death, where will we go? The underworld? Or the Western heaven," Xu Yanting murmured to himself.
Chu Jiang didn't have time to pay attention to him at the moment, just continuing to fiddle with the rectangular jade pendant.
"I hope it's heaven, where we will live eternally..."
This statement froze Chu Jiang in his tracks, he incredulously raised his head, "What did you just say?"
