Chapter 242: Entering Room 2
Chu Jiang’s reasoning was irrefutable, so everyone stopped insisting on the matter. After all, they were still relying on Chu Jiang for protection.
Just before setting off again, the student approached Chu Jiang and secretly told him about the supernatural powers he could borrow from the cards.
I can make the sound disappear in a certain area, achieving a state of silence. It should be like this, right?
After listening, Chu Jiang suddenly understood. It turned out that the skulls on the cards, with a wooden stick in their mouths, meant "people holding sticks and holding horses’ mouths".
This refers to the ancient army when launching a surprise attack on the enemy at night. They would bite onto a stick while holding the horse’s mouth, preventing any noise that could expose their whereabouts.
By understanding this, Chu Jiang could even guess the ghost’s pattern for killing. It seemed that making noise would result in being killed by it.
Once he understood, Chu Jiang looked at the college student and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
The student’s face turned grave, and he forced a smile. "I’m afraid of dying suddenly, even without the chance to use such power."
"If you need it, Captain, just give me the orders."
The student’s name was A’nan. He had come back to his hometown this time with the intention of taking his mother to the large hospital in the provincial capital. However, unexpectedly, he ended up in this haunted place.
If he hadn’t previously given his account and payment password to his family when there was still a signal outside, he would have felt more despair upon entering this place.
It’s worth mentioning that since they entered the castle, their cell phone reception disappeared again. It seemed like this haunted place allowed communication outside, but only for leaving final messages.
Of course, Chu Jiang doesn’t think so. He thinks this might be some kind of mysterious way of spreading…
Seeing the students voluntarily revealing their abilities to Chu Jiang, the others were lost in thought.
At first, the two foreigners didn’t understand what was going on. After the shop assistant explained, the policewoman also came forward generously and told Chu Jiang about her own ability, including her original ability as a Ghost Master.
She didn’t say it in words, but within a very small range, she used her ability so that Chu Jiang could understand what was going on at a glance.
This surprised Chu Jiang somewhat. Although in theory, it would be better if everyone told their abilities to the team leader, as it would benefit the final survival rate of the team.
But everyone has selfishness, and they don’t fully trust Chu Jiang; they even fear him and see him as a disposable pawn.
So most of them choose to hide their secrets.
Chu Jiang understands this mentality very well. That’s why since everyone received their cards, he hasn’t bothered asking about their abilities.
Of course, when someone like a student voluntarily tells Chu Jiang about their ability, it represents unconditional trust and reliance, and Chu Jiang will not let them down. If the student and the bald guy face danger at the same time, he will definitely prioritize saving the student. That’s the difference.
After the policewoman, the foreign firefighter wanted to show off his skills to Chu Jiang. He walked over and took out a piece of newspaper from his backpack. Then, he made some fire movements while talking quickly.
"Burn the newspaper?" Chu Jiang didn’t really understand. What’s the use of that?
Surprisingly, the firefighter nodded repeatedly, thinking that Chu Jiang had already understood. Then, he turned around and went back on his own.
The description of their abilities ended here. The lady behind the counter, the bald man, and the skinny Ghost Master seemed to have no intention of revealing their own abilities.
Chu Jiang didn’t mind and said, "Let’s keep going."
Everyone stayed inside Chu Jiang’s Ghost Domain. In theory, Chu Jiang could make the Ghost Domain fly and quickly bring everyone to the door.
But Chu Jiang didn’t know if the high-speed movement of the Ghost Domain would cause airflow in the supernatural realm, so he chose the safest approach.
Chu Jiang asked everyone to stay in place and slowly moved the Ghost Domain forward.
To make it easier for everyone to observe the outside, Chu Jiang also hid the "interior" such as the city ruins.
As a result, in the eyes of everyone, it seemed like a very unbelievable scene.
Even if they stood still, they were still moving forward little by little.
This time, everyone was very quiet and everything went smoothly. Just as they were about to reach the door, the headless corpse of the salesgirl suddenly let out a scream!
"Here it comes again! There’s something slashing over my head, I can feel it."
This sound frightened Chu Jiang, so he immediately stopped moving in the Ghost Domain. What’s going on? Could it be that their speculation was wrong? Is it unrelated to wind or airflow??
Moreover, that invisible ghost can kill within his Ghost Domain, which proves that the other party has already invaded, but Chu Jiang is completely unaware…
The salesgirl was on the verge of tears, "Why is it only me being targeted? If it wasn’t for my head already being gone, now I have to die again."
The skinny man watched in a panic, "Hurry and get closer to open the door. If we delay any longer, the unseen ghost will change its target, and at least one of us here will die."
"Don’t panic." They only had one meter left. Chu Jiang remained calm and didn’t rush to cross it.
The policewoman made a guess, while the shop assistant was scared and helped translate for her.
"She said the ghost is probably moving around, and now it happens to be near me. As long as I create a flow of air in this room, and the flow is directed towards the ghost, it will provoke the ghost to act."
Chu Jiang, while moving, also gave his own guess, "There is another possibility that the ghost here doesn’t have a physical form, and it’s just a supernatural phenomenon. Therefore, we can never physically touch each other, but once we trigger the ghost’s pattern of killing, it will definitely behead us."
As they continued talking, they finally reached the last meter, which was much better than just waiting.
"Who will open the door?" asked Chu Jiang without turning his head.
Just then, the policewoman, who had slowly moved closer to them, took the initiative to step forward, grabbed the handle of the second door, and signaled for the others to step back.
Everyone nodded and, even though they were terrified, took a few steps back.
With a twist of the door, they were faced with another room that didn’t seem to have much difference. But at this moment, they were too occupied to think about the danger; they just wanted to leave the first room where someone could die at any moment.
Chu Jiang took over the policewoman’s position, deactivated the Ghost Domain, and entered the second room first.
Afterward, the others were also frightened and entered the place in groups, not daring to take a breath.
Up to this point, the seven-person team managed to avoid casualties, but everything from now on was uncertain…
