Chapter 238: Completed Drawing
After speaking, Chu Jiang added, "And I think this could be a life-saving tool after entering the castle."
"Because I can harness part of the power of the ghost on this card."
It is necessary to explain this in advance. If they find out about it after entering, it may already be too late.
The others heard this and couldn’t believe it for a moment. They looked at the policewoman, who hadn’t mentioned it before.
The policewoman was a bit confused, so the shop assistant gestured and asked in English.
The policewoman struggled to understand, then she nodded and shook her head, looking unsure.
But Chu Jiang didn’t care what they thought, "Who’s next? Don’t waste time."
Upon seeing this, the skinny man clenched his teeth, "Let me do it."
He also knew very well that in order to leave this spooky place, he had to enter the castle; even if he knew there was a risk of taking off the card, he had to do it.
The skinny man took the bottom seventh card, flipped it over, and saw that it depicted a tombstone.
The inscription on the tombstone was blurry, standing in front of a grave that seemed to have been there for some time.
Although it gave off an eerie feeling, overall, that sense of strangeness wasn’t as intense as the ghosts on the two previous cards.
By the way, the border of his card was grayish-white.
This way, there were three different colors on the card’s border, and in terms of danger level, it seemed like black was greater than purple was greater than white.
After getting his own card, the skinny boy naturally tried to sense what Chu Jiang had just said.
Then he strangely discovered that he seemed to be able to borrow a part of the ghost’s power, but he needed to delve deep and sense it thoroughly to understand it. He couldn’t immediately know it right away.
"Next, keep going, don’t drag it out any longer. The longer we drag it out, the more likely accidents will happen." This time, the skinny boy didn’t need Chu Jiang’s urging. He spontaneously urged the next person.
Seeing the remaining four people not moving, the skinny boy directly pointed at the student. "You come."
The student opened his mouth, wanting to refuse but not knowing how to refuse, so he had to reluctantly step forward.
Moreover, he saw that the danger level of the card the skinny boy got seemed to be lower, so he also started taking the card from the bottom.
When he turned the card over, he saw a depiction of a pale skull on the face of the card.
The most peculiar thing was, the skull had a piece of hardwood clenched in its mouth.
The border of this card was also grayish-white.
He showed the card in his hand to the others, and the students nervously took two steps back.
Chu Jiang saw this and asked the skinny guy to teach him. Normal people should also be able to borrow some power from the cards, otherwise it would be meaningless for them to have them.
And the seals in the real world don’t necessarily have to be used by Ghost Masters, it mainly depends on how they are used.
The skinny guy nodded and took on this task, while Chu Jiang directly called for the bald guy to come forward and take his card.
Since the skinny guy revealed Chu Jiang’s identity, the bald guy hasn’t been as arrogant as before, and has remained silent.
Now, being designated by Chu Jiang, he didn’t refuse, and simply went forward expressionlessly to take the card from the bottom.
The "good luck" of the two people in front made the bald guy feel that the ones below weren’t as dangerous.
Chu Jiang speculated that drawing a white card would actually have both advantages and disadvantages. In this way, they wouldn’t be able to borrow overly powerful abilities in the future.
Of course, at the same time, the danger they encounter may also be somewhat reduced.
But for now, it’s all just guesses; we can only know for sure when we enter the castle.
The bald guy got his hands on a card, and sure enough, it had a white border. On the card, there was a depiction of a funeral procession. Men and women were walking, dressed in mourning clothes with expressionless faces. There were paper money scattered all over the ground, and some people were carrying a coffin…
The impact of the funeral procession on people was quite strong. It felt as if they could step out of the card and into the real world at any moment.
The bald guy also took the initiative to show his card to the others.
Just then, the lady at the counter stepped forward quickly and said, "Let me take the next one."
She understood as well that there were only two cards left. Following the pattern from earlier, the one at the bottom should be better than the one on top. So, as soon as she saw the result, she took the initiative.
The remaining firefighters didn’t seem to have any objections, but they still had worried expressions on their faces.
She chose the card at the bottom, took it down, and opened it. The lady at the counter almost exclaimed! It wasn’t a card with a gray-white border, it was red! It was the fourth color that hadn’t appeared before.
Moreover, the image depicted on the card was quite eerie. In the eyes of others, it was a headless monk dressed in a black robe, giving off an eerie and ethereal vibe.
Even if the monk didn’t have a head, everyone could still feel that someone was watching them…
But in the shopkeeper’s eyes, this monk clearly had a head, and the head on top of its neck was clearly its own!
It was a dead person’s head with closed eyes and a pale complexion, even the hair was a bit messy.
The shopkeeper covered her mouth, shaking her head, and desperately tried to throw away the card. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t throw it away. She stumbled backward, almost falling to the ground.
Chu Jiang grabbed the shopkeeper’s shoulder. "Calm down and tell me what you saw."
With a sobbing voice, the shopkeeper said incoherently, "Head, head, my head, it’s up there."
Chu Jiang looked at the card again. This monk was not an Eastern bald monk, but a Western monk, commonly known as a monk.
You can think of monks as the male version of nuns, and they even appeared earlier than nuns.
Chu Jiang touched the card, but didn’t see the shopkeeper’s head on it. So he calmly said, "Don’t panic, your card’s danger level is not as high as the policewoman’s card, let alone my card."
Yes, after trying it himself, Chu Jiang could tell that the red color represents a level of danger between purple and gray.
So, do these four colors correspond to the four levels of S, A, B, and C?
While Chu Jiang was pondering, the firefighter, looking somewhat concerned, approached and made eye contact with Chu Jiang. Then, trembling, he reached out his hand and took down the last card.
When he opened it, he breathed a sigh of relief – the border was gray.
As for the depiction on the card, it showed a blurry silhouette burning something in front of a grave. The firefighter couldn’t make out what exactly it was burning, but it seemed to be newspapers or paper-like objects.
Moreover, this card was very subtle. As long as you didn’t stare at it, you wouldn’t feel anything out of the ordinary.
Of course, if the card represents a low level of danger, it might mean that the firefighter’s power is not very strong.
