Chapter 225: Dangerous Character

As night fell, Duan Mingen, who had bandages wrapped around his body, sat across from Chu Jiang in the office, explaining the purpose of the black top hat.

"This hat, Wei Ziming called it the Shatterblade. Wei Ziming was my former boss."

"The person wearing this hat can obtain a highly powerful offensive method: within a range of ten meters, they can designate a target to be silently sliced to death by invisible blades."

"If the target is unable to defend themselves, they will be completely dismembered in an instant."

"Taking advantage of the moment when Wei Ziming didn’t react, I forcefully took a close-range hit from the Shatterblade and instantly killed him."

"Even though the slicing only lasted for less than a second, I still received severe injuries."

"Although Shatterblade Topper is very powerful, Wei Ziming rarely uses it, especially against living beings."

He never specifically told me what the negative effects of this hat are. But I have heard him complain using words like "not feeling like himself anymore" and "being controlled."

"So I guess that abusing the power of this hat can change one’s personality, even becoming a servant of the hat."

"Of course, I haven’t used it formally after obtaining it, I just put it on my head and estimated that its maximum range is about ten meters."

Chu Jiang nodded slightly, he picked up the hat and checked it to make sure there were no issues or hidden dangers before putting it on his head.

In that instant, Chu Jiang suddenly felt a subtle urge to kill someone.

This change was very subtle, if it wasn’t for this moment when Chu Jiang was examining his state of mind, he might not have noticed it.

This shouldn’t be intentionally hidden by Duan Mingen. It’s normal to feel hatred towards the people of Sincerity Company while wearing this hat.

In that case, perhaps the negative effect is: The more times it is used and the shorter the intervals between uses, the more intense the desire to kill becomes.

In the end, the person wearing the hat will turn into a crazy murderer.

It’s not just their sanity, but their life as well. It’s like the hat controls a dead body to move.

So all in all, this is a very useful thing, but also a very dangerous thing.

As for the range, Chu Jiang tried it out. He was five floors away and targeted a disposable water cup.

In an instant, the water cup was cut into pieces!

At the same time, Chu Jiang could sense a subtle change in his inner urge to kill, but it was very small, almost imperceptible.

This may be because he wasn’t cutting a living person.

Moreover, the distance was already over ten meters, and Chu Jiang felt that his limit was at least one hundred meters.

Could it be that the range of this thing also expands according to the user’s mental power? Chu Jiang could only speculate like this.

Once upon a time, this thing, with Chu Jiang wearing a monocle and a small mustache, he could truly cosplay as a capitalist.

……

In the following time, Chu Jiang put away his hat. He didn’t rush to do any experiments on Duan Mingen. He just said he was waiting for someone to come.

Duan Mingen didn’t know who the person was and felt a little nervous as he waited.

Around eight o’clock in the evening, a lady dressed as a doctor, with a long ponytail and glasses, knocked on the office door and came in.

"Welcome, Miss Zhou Wenshan."

Chu Jiang personally stood up to shake hands with her, while Duan Mingen stood on the side feeling a bit cautious. He didn’t know this lady and didn’t dare to look around.

Zhou Wenshan carefully examined this folk Ghost Master and asked, "Do you have a quiet room?"

"Yes," Chu Jiang took the lead and walked outside, with the other two following.

During this process, Chu Jiang explained to Duan Mingen, who didn’t understand, what would happen next.

"You should know that I don’t trust you."

"Coincidentally, headquarters has sent a new psychologist to officially join my team today. She will verify one basic thing: whether or not you’ve been lying."

Duan Mingen nervously swallowed and nodded vigorously, "I don’t mind taking the test, but if I tell a lie, may I suffer greatly."

……

They entered a quiet guest room that Chu Jiang had arranged.

Zhou Wenshan instructed Duan Mingen to lie down on the bed.

Duan Mingen obediently complied, thinking that he might undergo hypnosis or some similar treatment. He expected to be led into an unconscious state and encouraged to reveal his secrets.

Duan Mingen didn’t consider himself to be a particularly noble person; he had his own dark corners in his mind. However, this time, he wasn’t acting under anyone’s orders but his own free will.

So, he didn’t have anything to be afraid of.

When Duan Mingen lay down, Zhou Wenshan brought over a chair and sat by the bed.

"Close your eyes, it will happen quickly. Just do as I tell you."

The lady’s voice was soft and gentle, making people unconsciously follow her instructions. Especially at this moment, with only a dim bedside lamp in the room, the atmosphere was quite sleep-inducing.

Chu Jiang stood on the opposite side of the bed, across from Zhou Wenshan, quietly watching everything. He was also curious about what kind of ghost Zhou Wenshan had on her.

As Duan Mingen gradually entered a trance state, Zhou Wenshan reached out and gently patted his arm, like soothing a child.

Incredibly, with just two pats, Duan Mingen actually fell asleep at lightning speed.

Then something strange happened, the only source of light in the room suddenly went out!

At the same time, a chilling, silent breath emanated from Zhou Wenshan, who had a calm expression. This breath lingered in the room for a long time without dissipating.

No, it’s not just about not parting for a long time, it’s even getting more intense…

Chu Jiang instinctively raised his hair, he sensed danger instinctively, and even his hands in his pocket turned into a pair of dark green zombie hands towards Chu’s direction.

As that eerie aura continued to accumulate, the entire room seemed to be stripped away from the mortal world.

Chu Jiang looked out the window, he couldn’t see the stars or the city lights, everything seemed to lose its color and turned into a dim and desperate gray.

The changes on Zhou Wenshan’s body were still ongoing, from behind her, there was a twisted black figure struggling to come out in a dehumanizing posture.

This figure had a pair of sharp claws, and on its face, there was a white physical mask. The mask had countless emotions, it looked like crying; it looked like smiling; it looked like pondering; it looked like screaming…

Just by looking at that mask, Chu Jiang had a feeling that his soul was about to be sucked in, which made him instinctively look away.
