Chapter 251: Card BUG?

The skinny man nodded as well, "One of the ghosts on my body is a Scapegoat Ghost."

"It brings me a special ability. When I am about to die, I can choose someone to die in my place."

"Of course, there is a price to pay, and I need to consider two things."

"One is that the person I choose still has a chance to struggle and resist. Like a water ghost dragging someone underwater, a living person can struggle to some extent."

"So it’s okay to choose an ordinary person, but if I choose the Ghost Master, the risk is much greater. If it fails, I will undoubtedly die."

"The other thing is, I can only do it once."

"The reason is simple. If someone dies in my place, then he becomes that Scapegoat Ghost."

"Wait," Chu Jiang heard this and felt somewhat incredulous, "Could it be that I misunderstood?"

"Do you mean that after you succeed, the Scapegoat Ghost inside you will disappear?"

"Yes," the skinny man said emotionlessly, "after the person who takes the blame dies, his soul will transform into a new Scapegoat Ghost, while the one inside me will simply disappear."

"Or you could say that the Scapegoat Ghost inside me has been reborn in a unique way."

Hearing this, Chu Jiang was truly amazed.

This is simply a purely helpful ghost! Not only can it save your life, but it will also leave your body after saving you, so you won’t die from the resurrection of an evil spirit.

The cashier also turned her head to look at the skinny man, very surprised.

As for the two foreigners, they didn’t understand. After the female police officer spoke up, the cashier expressionlessly summarized and highlighted the key points.

"It’s not that simple," the skinny man shook his head. Seeing Chu Jiang’s expression, he roughly guessed what he was thinking.

"Haven’t you noticed how skinny I’ve become? The burden of this ghost is also very heavy. If it weren’t for another ghost inside me that barely balances with the Scapegoat Ghost, I would have died long ago."

"So, what are you now?" Chu Jiang still couldn’t understand because among the people present, none of them died because of the "resurrection" of the thin man.

The thin man had an ugly smile. "Didn’t I tell you? I died, and now I am a ghost."

"Wait, so…?" Based on the other person’s description, Chu Jiang thought of an outrageous possibility.

"Captain Chu is truly remarkable, thinking of the crucial point so quickly. Yes, just as you suspected, I had the Scapegoat Ghost die in my place."

"Anyway, it’s about designating a target, designating an existence. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a living person, right? So, I wondered, can I designate a ghost?"

"Can it die for me, especially if I designate the Scapegoat Ghost itself?"

"Because if I were to designate other ghosts, they definitely wouldn’t obediently comply. If I really dare to do that, it’s most likely a death sentence."

"But designating a Scapegoat Ghost is different. By doing this, I am following its rules of killing. If it struggles and refuses, it’s equivalent to violating its own rules of killing."

"So, by doing this, I have a high probability of succeeding."

"If you want to succeed, you need to meet two conditions at the same time."

"First: I need to survive. Only when I survive can I consider the substitution successful."

"Second: The substitute becomes a Scapegoat Ghost."

The first condition is not too difficult. I want to stay alive by transferring the injuries I received to the Scapegoat Ghost. After all, these injuries don’t mean much to a ghost.

"But the second condition is contradictory. The substitute itself is the Scapegoat Ghost, unable to be reborn in the same place. It can only be reborn in the soul of any third party."

"In a situation where rules conflict and contradict each other, the instinct of the Scapegoat Ghost falls into silence, into a long period of dormant state. It will not awaken until it resolves this bug conflict."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, I completely took over its body, even fused with it. So it’s not wrong to say that I am a ghost now. I can completely exist without a physical body and continue living."

Chu Jiang’s eyes brightened as he listened to Skinny Guy’s words. So that’s the missing step…

A long time ago, Chu Jiang had a thought: Can I use the Stretching Ghost to switch my own head with the ghost’s, and then have human thoughts replacing the ghost’s thoughts.

However, a research paper from the institute showed that similar methods cannot succeed because human nature will be assimilated by ghost nature, and eventually people will become ghosts.

As for old Mr. Lin Daosheng Lin, he uses the prayers of all living beings to maintain his humanity, which is like finding another way.

Now, the approach of the thin man is a new path: he successfully uses the rules of ghosts, causing the ghosts themselves to get stuck and ultimately kill themselves due to a bug.

As a result, the ghost nature falls silent, and the human nature will not be in danger of assimilation temporarily…

Of course, it’s hard to say whether this approach will be permanently effective. If that Scapegoat Ghost manages to escape from this bug and its ghostly nature revives, then the thin man will also face danger.

Finally, the Chu’s Jiang on Chu Jiang’s body is probably also in a state of suppressed ghost nature, but it’s unknown how the ancestors of the Chu family achieved this.

If Chu’s Jiang was active, Chu Jiang would definitely not be as at ease as he is now, and he would not be able to use Chu’s Jiang to suppress the other two ghosts inside him.

After understanding what happened to the thin man, Chu Jiang takes out a new set of clothes from his left hand and throws it to him.

The thin man explained all of this to Chu Jiang, probably trying to intimidate him to some extent. Compared to before he obtained this power, his attitude has changed slightly.

The skinny man now has become quite a unique existence, even more special than the headless lady. You could say he’s a budget version of Chu Jiang.

At least he inherited some characteristics of a ghost, like being unable to be killed…

Chu Jiang also decided to observe this guy closely. After fully unlocking his own bloodline power, there’s a high probability he’ll become similar to the skinny man.

Although the skinny man took a piece of clothing, he didn’t hide to change. He completely ignored the gazes of others, cleaning the burnt remnants from his body on the spot and casually putting on the clothes.

From the looks of it, wearing clothes seemed to be a "habit" of his.

Moreover, from his gaze and tone of speech, Chu Jiang could tell that the skinny man still maintained his previous thoughts, memories, and sanity.

However, when it came to emotions, he seemed to be aloof. In other words, even though the ghostly nature is dormant, its influence on humans still exists and cannot completely disappear.

"Alright, what should we do next?" the skinny man calmly looked at Chu Jiang. "By the way, can someone explain to me what exactly happened earlier?"

"Let’s go and check out the underground of the temple. Miss Li, please explain to him as well."

After speaking, Chu Jiang took the lead and walked towards the depths of the temple…
