Chapter 150: Entering the Ghost Domain

It’s precisely because of this feature of Permanent Rest that Zhang Haoran needs to hold onto this bottle throughout the journey.

If he lets go, this thing will break through the plane and fall to the ground, remaining in a constant still state.

"So how do we use this thing?" Zhang Haoran continued to ask.

"It’s simple," Chen Yehua pushed his glasses up, "just throw it on the ground and shatter it, and the person holding it must have the intention to shatter it, that’s when the bottle will break."

"After the bottle breaks, the Sands of Time stored inside will splatter out, permanently freezing a certain area."

"This area becomes an extremely dangerous zone, anything that enters afterward will be trapped and unable to move."

"As for the cost of using it, I’m sure you can guess. Only a person who is alive can shatter it, and once shattered, that person has no chance to escape. They will be sealed within this area alongside the spirits."

Zhang Haoran turned the bottle in his hand, "Can I break it?"

If sacrificing himself could save thousands and thousands of people, Zhang Haoran was willing to make that sacrifice.

Chen Yehua shook his head, "I’m sure you’re aware, you cannot use any seal. No matter how hard you try to shatter this bottle, you won’t be able to break it."

Even though Zhang Haoran had expected it, he remained silent.

"Actually, this thing is not a disposable item. I heard that the research institute might have a way to retrieve it."

"Of course, once it’s retrieved, it means the sealed ghosts will also be released, so it can’t be easily collected."

After hearing Chen Yehua’s explanation, Zhang Haoran was stunned for a moment. "Wasn’t it a Permanent Rest? How can it be retrieved? Do you expect me to go inside and pick up the pieces bit by bit?"

"No, even if you could enter that area, the most you could do is avoid its effects. It’s impossible to retrieve this level zero seal."

"As for the specific retrieval method, I don’t know either. It’s highly confidential information from the research institute. Probably only a few people in the entire institute know about it."

Zhang Haoran pondered for a moment. "What does this thing have to do with ghosts?"

In his understanding, ghosts were a kind of folk superstition. The superstition believed that when people die, their souls turn into ghosts, who possess strange powers and often harm others.

But this item with the code 003 can freeze time in a certain area. In Zhang Haoran’s opinion, it had nothing to do with ghosts at all.

When Chen Yehua heard this question, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly. "Yeah, this kind of ability is almost like being a god, maybe even a ghost. Ghosts and gods have never been separated since ancient times."

The conversation between the two could only be heard by Zhang San sitting in the back seat. Everyone else was a bit further away from this side.

Zhang Haoran and Chen Yehua discussed for a while, then turned back to ask for Zhang San’s opinion.

This made Zhang San feel uncomfortable. As long as he was out of other people’s sight, sometimes even Expert Chen himself, he would often be ignored.

But Zhang Haoran seemed to think that Zhang San was more introverted, occasionally he would take the initiative to talk to him…

……

When the plane landed and Expert Chen and others transferred to a helicopter to come over, it was already more than three hours later. It was half past two in the afternoon.

The other support personnel were waiting on the outskirts, only Chen Yehua, Zhang Haoran, and Zhang San came close to the outside of Ghost Domain to meet Yuwen Ting and the others.

Yan Wanli also arrived here almost at the same time as them.

He still looked the same, with a few highlighted strands of blonde hair on top of his head, and a rebellious expression on his face. To be honest, Yan Wanli was not hard to look at, but he always gave off a vibe of a troublemaker, and he liked to put his hands in his pockets.

Looking towards the crowd ahead, Yan Wanli raised his right hand and said, "Hey, everyone’s here, looks like everyone’s enthusiastic."

Zhang Haoran had just greeted the others, but as soon as he saw this guy named Yan approaching, he instinctively frowned.

Obviously, when Zhang Haoran was at headquarters, he had heard people talk about the feud between Chu Jiang and Yan Wanli; so even though it was their first time meeting, he didn’t really like this person.

Yu Jiang nodded to Yan Wanli and said, "Come over, you can also share your opinions on what comes next."

Yan Wanli held an umbrella with one hand and walked closer to the group, saying, "I don’t have any opinions, I’ll just do whatever you guys say. Anyway, I came here with a simple purpose, to see if that Chu Jiang is dead or not."

"What if he’s not dead?" asked Zhang Haoran, expressionless.

"If he’s not dead, then I’ll be even more interested in him," Yan Wanli said, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

On the surface, Yan Wanli seemed narrow-minded, enjoying others’ misfortune, living life carefree like a joker.

But in reality, Yan Wanli felt quite heavy in his heart. Of course, it had nothing to do with the S-class event, it was purely because of that guy named Chu Jiang, who brought him a considerable mental burden.

Will Chu Jiang die?

If you think logically, he should die. He might even be dead already.

But Yan Wanli always had a feeling that the guy wouldn’t die so easily; the impression he left on him back at headquarters was just too deep.

That’s why Yan Wanli specifically requested this trip – he had to make sure of the outcome of this event.

If Chu Jiang dies, then he dies, and there would be no need to worry anymore.

But if Chu Jiang is still alive, Yan Wanli will have to reassess this Ghost Master, and also consider their future relationship. It doesn’t necessarily have to be hostile.

Because their enmity isn’t really that deep, it’s just a matter of pride.

Although Yan Wanli can be hot-headed at times, he’s not stupid. Having more friends is always better than having more enemies.

Expert Chen inserted himself into the conversation between Zhang Haoran and Yan Wanli at the right time, mainly to prevent them from having a conflict at this moment.

"Then let’s follow the planned schedule. Zhang Haoran, you carry the seal and try to go inside first."

"Zhang Haoran, see if you can find Chu Jiang and also investigate the current situation in Luohe City. This includes how many survivors there are, the status of Black Sun, and whether it’s possible for Ghost Domain to expand further."

Holding the item called "Permanent Rest" in his hand, Zhang Haoran nodded while fully armed.

Xu Bing, who had been silent all along, glanced at the water bottle in Zhang Haoran’s hand and asked, "After entering, do we need Chu Jiang to use the Level Zero seal?"

Zhang Haoran looked at Chen Yehua, and Expert Chen said, "If you can find Chu Jiang, then hand the water bottle directly to him and explain how to use it, as well as the side effects."

"Afterwards, I believe Chu Jiang, as the person in charge, will make the decision. You should trust him and let him have full authority in deciding what to do."

Yan Wanli was somewhat surprised and said, "Are we really putting so much trust in a newcomer? If we have the freedom to go in and out, it would be better for Zhang Haoran to transmit information back and forth, right?"

Expert Chen shook his head and said, "Time waits for no one. That small country in Europe was destroyed within a day. I believe Luohe City won’t take too long either."
