Chapter 143: The Dispersal and Aggregation of Ghosts
But the idea was simple, yet reality wasn’t as beautiful.
Chu Jiang was just about to try dealing with the appearing ghost when he felt something strange in his mouth, as if something wanted to come out.
Subconsciously opening his mouth, a completely black hand crawled out from Chu Jiang’s mouth…
At the same time, Chu Jiang felt something moving inside his body, his brain, organs, flesh, and bones, as if something was wriggling everywhere.
It seemed like there were a lot of hands, drilling and roaming inside his body, ready to tear him apart, ripping him into pieces!
It was in this very moment that even with Chu Jiang’s mental strength, there were subtle fluctuations.
With Chu Jiang’s change in mental state, the thousands of black hands in the entire neighborhood immediately turned in unison, like a disciplined army, facing him directly!
But in the next second, Chu Jiang calmed down.
As a result, the black hands lost their common pattern, appearing like individual entities, only intensely focusing on their prey.
Yes, the darkness inside the body is also dark. The Left Hand Ghost can come out from there as well.
But Chu Jiang discovered something very strange. Even though hand after hand crawled out from inside his body, his physical body remained unharmed, as if only shadows were crawling out.
This doesn’t mean that the Left Hand Ghost is just trying to scare you. If you are truly afraid, they will turn into solid forms and instantly tear apart your body.
At the same time, countless left hands outside will also attack. It won’t be as simple as choking your throat. Whether Chu Jiang can survive with his whole body intact is unknown.
This brief confrontation allowed Chu Jiang to have a preliminary understanding of the terrifying extent of this ghost.
Normal people face this thing and almost surely die. Even if you have a lot of courage, seeing a bunch of hands crawling out from the darkness suddenly won’t make you feel scared.
But when you realize that those hands are crawling out from inside you, stirring around inside you, can you really stay calm?
Even Chu Jiang, being deeply corrupted by the ghost, doesn’t show obvious emotional fluctuations, especially in terms of fear. That’s how he can successfully overcome this obstacle.
If Chu Jiang were still the high school student he used to be, he can be certain that he would definitely die under the Dark Left Hand.
This is the Ghost Master. On one hand, they become very cold and ignore people’s lives, losing their emotions. On the other hand, some of their emotions become extreme, especially when they want to release stress.
This makes them either appear indifferent and merciless or like thugs who easily resort to killing without any mercy.
……
After all the black hands crawled out of his body, Chu Jiang carefully lit a Soul Guide Incense and stuck it into the ground, then he stepped back.
This thing is one of the seals developed by the research institute, similar to a Protective Talisman, but with a different effect.
When this incense is lit, it can attract ghosts or strange things to come close. But as for the effect, you can only say it has some attraction because it is produced in large quantities.
For example, at this moment, when the black hands can’t find a target to kill, they will spontaneously gather there one by one, as if they are inhaling smoke and fire, even though they don’t have a nose.
But once a target appears, Chu Jiang can be one hundred percent certain that those black hands will rush towards the target.
There is also an oiled paper umbrella that works the same way, a level three seal. When ghosts are not targeting you, you open it up to minimize your presence in front of ghosts.
But when you trigger the rule of murder, sorry to say, even if you hold up ten umbrellas, it’s useless.
That’s also the reason why Chu Jiang didn’t really use these things before, they’re too useless.
I heard that there are more advanced versions of the same type in the research institute. But it’s not so easy to obtain them, you have to earn a lot of merits in exchange for them. Anyway, Chu Jiang doesn’t have them now.
Chu Jiang temporarily diverted the attention of the Dark Left Hand. He is thinking about how to seal these ghostly things.
It’s not very likely to suppress them directly with the Blood Hand, there are so many hands. If Chu Jiang tries to suppress them one by one, he is afraid he will be the one to die first, killed by the revival of the Blood Hand Ghost.
Actually, what Chu Jiang is most worried about right now is not how to find the main body of the Left Hand Ghost.
What he is most worried about is that all these black hands are the actual bodies of the ghosts!
Yes, there is no concept of original body or clone, it can be one, or it can be countless.
Of course, if they are dispersed, each individual hand may not be as strong as when they are aggregated, but dispersing also has its advantages.
At least for humans, if the hands of darkness that have separated grip their throats lightly, they will immediately die, and killing becomes as easy as drinking water.
So, in terms of the level of danger, this ghost is at least a B-level ghost.
If it’s really as Chu Jiang worries, then it might be necessary to find a way to gather all the hands together before attempting to seal them.
Otherwise, Chu Jiang might not be able to seal even a single hand, because you cannot make a ghost sleep with just a tiny bit of it.
But in that case, another hidden danger would arise: perhaps Chu Jiang can easily deal with a separated hand, but it would be difficult to handle the complete Dark Left Hand.
Moreover, so far, the Left Hand Ghost has only shown two characteristics: division and emergence from darkness.
If it still possesses special abilities that haven’t been displayed, hastily letting them gather could very likely push Chu Jiang into the abyss of death.
……
Time is running out, Chu Jiang took stock of his own fighting strength and felt that he still had to take a risk.
If it weren’t for the very dangerous S-class ghost, Chu Jiang would definitely have chosen to retreat first, seal off the scene, and then come up with a plan before taking action.
But now, he just wants all the bad guys to gather together as soon as possible.
As for what comes next, facing unknown dangers, Chu Jiang can only adapt on the spot. Anyway, if he doesn’t strengthen his powers quickly, he’s going to die later, and he has no choice.
So, under what circumstances would this ghost voluntarily gather together?
It definitely isn’t when someone triggers the rule of killing. It might be when countless hands fight side by side, but still fail to get rid of the target, that the Left Hand Ghost considers concentrating its strength.
This means that a tough battle has to be fought first. Is there a simpler and more efficient method? Instead of fighting, let the bad guys gather on their own.
Hmm… Chu Jiang rubbed his chin and thought. If he could make the Left Hand Ghost feel a huge threat before the battle started, then it might choose to enhance itself to its best state instead of continuing to use a weak mode.
So, should he use that move? When he was testing the limits of the Imitation Ghost’s abilities before, Chu Jiang had come up with a way to use it.
