Chapter 231: Countdown to Death

Close to one o’clock in the morning, a dark and silent road, a man walking back.

This man didn’t realize that there were "people" following him from behind. And as he walked further, more and more "people" appeared behind him, the third, the fourth, the fifth…

Something’s not right, Chu Jiang murmured to himself, why does it feel colder and gloomier? Could it be that I’m going in the wrong direction?

This is not impossible, in the Ghost Domain, the least reliable thing is a person’s sense of direction.

In that one moment, Chu Jiang regretted not choosing the labyrinth candle back at headquarters. It could be lit to prevent the holder from getting lost and being deceived by illusions.

Of course, this momentary regret is meaningless, if given another chance, Chu Jiang would still choose the jade seal, even though he hasn’t used it yet…

Subconsciously, he turned his head and what Chu Jiang saw was still an endless road, as if no matter which direction he chose to go, the result would be the same.

Worth mentioning is that when Chu Jiang turned his head, those men, women, young, and old with different clothing and appearances behind him also moved synchronously to the back of his head.

As Chu Jiang turned his head back, they instantly appeared behind him, seemingly always out of his sight.

Although he didn’t know what was happening, Chu Jiang had a strange feeling that things were not going well and he couldn’t keep going like this.

Holding onto this thought, Chu Jiang transformed into a ghost, trying to fly.

But to his surprise, he couldn’t fly??

It was a strange sensation, as if there was some force keeping him partially fixed to the ground. He could walk, run, and even jump, but he couldn’t jump very high, and flying was out of the question.

Hey, things were getting worse and worse. Without hesitation, Chu Jiang reached his right hand into his left hand and touched a page in the Ghost Diary.

He tried to open the Ghost Domain.

But what made Chu Jiang feel even more ridiculous was that the Ghost Domain couldn’t open??

Yes, Chu Jiang successfully borrowed the power of the Little Theater.

But this power is limited to his body, as if restricted by some invisible strong rule, unable to come out from within him, not even simply covering his skin.

What’s going on here? Is the borrowed power too weak to resist the strangeness of this place, thus unable to unfold? Or is it that any type of Ghost Domain cannot be set up in this haunted place?

Chu Jiang feels stuck, this borrowed power is never quite reliable, he’ll have to come up with a way to create his own Ghost Domain in the future.

Of course, that means Chu Jiang has to introduce a third ghost into his body.

Right now, Chu’s Jiang’s power is able to suppress two ghosts, but if another one comes, it’s uncertain. Especially if the ghost is of a higher terror level, it becomes even harder for Chu Jiang’s incomplete power to hold it back.

While Chu Jiang was pondering, the little girl in a Western-style dress, who had first appeared behind him, came a bit closer.

Even though it was just a simple step closer, it gave Chu Jiang a chilling feeling, causing him to instinctively turn around.

But there was nothing behind him…

Something’s not right, it’s getting more and more wrong. Chu Jiang clearly sensed that there is an invisible danger approaching him.

But he couldn’t find the source of danger. Could it be that the ghost from Ghost Rental got off the car with him?

Chu Jiang stopped walking. He couldn’t go any further. If he kept walking, he might not even know how he died.

Standing still, Chu Jiang started to think carefully about everything that happened after he encountered the taxi…

Then he realized that the real danger started after he violently smashed the car door.

Before, when he was in the taxi, everything felt abnormal. But at least before Chu Jiang smashed the car door, he was safe, and he didn’t experience any paranormal attacks. He could even listen to music.

So, could it be… that it’s safer inside the car on this road?

Oh no, if Chu Jiang’s guess is true, where can he find that old taxi now? He doesn’t even know where it went.

After thinking for three seconds, Chu Jiang suddenly entered underground. More accurately, he entered into the darkness of the shadow.

This ability comes from the Dark Left Hand. Originally, Chu Jiang could only let his left hand move through the darkness.

But later, when he became skilled, he realized that he could move through like this; with the added ability to become like a ghost, this kind of movement became even faster.

Luckily, Chu Jiang’s move wasn’t sealed away, he entered the shadows, mainly to hide from that invisible, temporarily unseen danger.

In addition, Chu Jiang wanted to use this method to chase after that old-fashioned taxi, hoping that the worn-out car would turn around.

Chu Jiang’s current mindset is just like a scoundrel who wants to get on after getting off, only realizing the value after losing it.

When moving through the darkness, there is no "vision" to speak of, everything is dark.

But Chu Jiang’s perception is still there, and within the range that his mental strength can reach, he can emerge from any darkness, including inside other people’s bodies…

Although he successfully entered the darkness, what makes Chu Jiang uncomfortable is that the feeling of danger didn’t disappear, but rather became stronger.

At the same time, behind Chu Jiang, that group of men and women, old and young, still exists, following Chu Jiang into the darkness, never leaving his side.

Moreover, the faster Chu Jiang moves and the farther he goes, the more people are behind him.

The most important thing was that the little girl moved closer. The corners of her mouth went up higher. Right now, she was less than five centimeters away from Chu Jiang.

Compared to the little girl, the second farmer who appeared also got closer. But he was still not as close as the little girl. So it seemed like she would be the first to succeed…

Chu Jiang tightened his hands and felt his heart sinking. No! He suddenly emerged from the shadow on the road.

Chu Jiang at this moment, felt like sitting on pins and needles, like having a spine-tingling sensation, like having a fishbone stuck in his throat. He even felt like an ant, turning around in circles on a hot pan.

This feeling was driving him crazy. You know that danger is approaching you, and it’s getting closer and closer. It seems like the next second it will completely devour you.

But you just can’t find where the danger is. Whether it’s with your naked eye or the wide view from your super senses, you can’t find anything abnormal.

Chu Jiang could conclude that if this continues, in no more than five minutes, no, three minutes, something bad will happen to him!

As for what will happen, whether or not he will die, that’s something Chu Jiang can’t predict.
