Chapter 837 804: The Nailed Shadow

Tong Qian’s ghost shadow had a wide influence, and that terrifying laughter virtually echoed throughout the entire airport. Moreover, as time passed, the range of this sound continued to expand without any weakening.

Apart from that, the laughter echoed, forming echoes in this area.

Originally, it was just a series of eerie laughter, but as the echoes of laughter came over, the laughter came in waves, like the waves at the seaside, one after another, endlessly.

The laughter did not diminish, nor did the echoes.

Therefore, the terrifying laughter overlapped, increasing in horror in an incomprehensible way.

Just a little time is needed.

It seems that this ghost’s laughter could counter any terrifying entity.

Those who were eroded by the ghost couldn’t even be considered real ghosts; they merely relied on some residual supernatural power to maintain a half-dead state.

When the ghost’s laughter sound, these eerie individuals had no power to resist, not even qualified to come close.

The confrontation between supernatural forces isn’t something that can simply be won by numbers.

Groups of people fell down, each with an eerie smile on their face. In just a short moment, all the disturbances at the airport had settled. No more eerie individuals approached, and even some things near the airport were cleaned up.

Tong Qian’s terror was fully demonstrated.

If it weren’t for her using crying sounds to balance the surroundings, the other people nearby, without knowing the pattern, would also have been affected and killed. Direct confrontation would have been absolutely impossible.

“It’s enough now.”

The next moment, the laughter stopped.

Tong Qian no longer used the ghost’s powers; the two ghost faces on her face immediately shut their mouths and fell asleep.

Despite using the ghost’s powers for such a long duration, Tong Qian herself seemed unaffected, looking the same as normal.

This is showcasing someone who has tamed two malfunctioning ghosts.

Far superior to most ordinary ghost tamers.

“It seems the danger has been temporarily averted. Everyone here has fallen, and without other people alive, the dead man’s heads that have fallen on the ground can’t be put back together again. We don’t have to worry about them eerily coming back to life.”

Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief for the moment.

He then felt somewhat delighted.

Such strong ghost powers, having her as a teammate is very reassuring.

“No, something’s not right.”

Yang Jian had been observing the surroundings from the beginning, his eyes slightly red and flickering with light: “The ghost should be around here. When we came out from the city, the ghost must have followed us. I am not sure if the ghost was following me, but it definitely is inside this airport.”

“The crowd just now proves this point, but why haven’t we seen the ghost after so many people fell?”

“Captain, what do you think is off?” asked Li Yang.

“Ghost Slaves can be killed, so those eerie people smiling as they fell is consistent with what I anticipated. But a ghost won’t die, so Tong Qian’s crying cannot kill people possessed by a ghost… In other words, at this moment, the one standing is the ghost.”

“But everyone fell down in groups, not a single person stood, which means the ghost wasn’t among those people.”

Yang Jian’s gaze shifted slightly.

His plan was very successful, luring the ghost to the airport, and then having Tong Qian clear the field, determining whoever is still standing would be the ghost.

Then directly have everyone act to detain.

Almost foolproof.

Even xiong Wenwen was asked to come here to prevent any oversights.

No.

Not right, I overlooked something.

Yang Jian suddenly realized something, his eyes moving, he immediately looked around at the others with caution.

If the standing person could be a ghost.

Then there are quite a few people standing around me.

Tong Qian, Xiong Wenwen, Li Yang, Yang Xiaohua, Li Yi, Guo You, and Liu Qingqing.

A total of seven people.

It was at this moment that Yang Jian realized this, and Xiong Wenwen, who had been silent until now, suddenly pointed and said, “Yang Jian, he is the ghost. In five minutes, this person will kill the woman next to him, then he will suddenly attack you on the road. Although you will retaliate, you will mistake the person, and finally, you will lose control and die due to the revival of the ferocious ghost…”

The direction pointed by the finger.

Accurately singled out Guo You.

The ability to foresee the future took effect.

In some uncertain future, Yang Jian was tricked by the ghost here and eventually died due to the revival of the ferocious ghost.

Of course, the future is diverse, and Xiong Wenwen is foreseeing from her own perspective.

“Guo You?”

At this time, Li Yi, standing beside him, was stunned and quickly explained, “Don’t, don’t misunderstand, how could he possibly be a ghost? We three have been acting together, coming over here together. If he was a ghost, I would have been attacked long ago. How could I still be standing here safe and sound…”

But before he could finish his explanation, a gunshot suddenly rang out nearby.

Bang!

At such a close distance, there was no chance of missing.

Instantly.

Guo You was shot, and blood immediately burst from his chest, quickly staining it red.

At this moment, as if he hadn’t yet felt the pain, his eyes widened, and falteringly he said, “I, I am not a ghost, I am not.”

Was it a mistake?

Tong Qian’s gaze sharpened, and she immediately looked towards Xiong Wenwen.

Xiong Wenwen exclaimed loudly, “I made no mistake, you are the ghost, that ghost is on you.”

“Li Yi, Liu Qingqing, run fast, they suspect us three of being ghosts, they want to kill us.” Guo You staggered, unable to stand steadily, wavering, he reminded his companions beside him.

“Yang Jian.”

Li Yi’s eyes instantly reddened, his emotions highly agitated.

“Stop, I won’t allow you to just kill my companions before the situation is clear. Otherwise, we three will fight it out right here.”

He did not mind dying in a supernatural event, nor did he mind being killed by a ghost, but he absolutely would not allow anyone to be beaten to death by others.

After all, surviving in a place like the Ghost Post Office, the three of them trusted each other deeply, usually cooperating in delivering mail as if they were risking their lives. Now, a companion was about to be arbitrarily killed without reason, it was impossible not to stand up and intervene.

“You really trust Guo You? Unfortunately, I also believe what Xiong Wenwen said. But what I want to tell you is, if Guo You is not a ghost, why is his shadow reversed?”

Yang Jian put down the gun and handed it back to Li Yang.

Then, a rusty coffin nail appeared in his hand.

What?

Upon hearing this, Li Yi abruptly turned to look at Guo You, paying special attention to the shadow under Guo You’s feet.

At this moment.

Under the lighting, everyone’s shadows stretched backwards, only a few faint shadows remained in front, but the situation under Guo You’s feet was the opposite; his front shadow was very dark, while the shadow behind him was very faint.

At a glance, his shadow appeared to be reversed compared to everyone else’s.

This was not logical.

“There’s no mistake, he is a ghost. Perhaps he is still conscious now, only because he hasn’t realized that he’s been possessed by a ghost, which is a very terrifying thing. Your blind trust will only kill everyone.”

Yang Jian made a gesture.

The crowd quickly distanced themselves.

They kept their shadows continuously moving away from Guo You, avoiding ghost attacks.

“Li Yi, you have to believe me, I’m really not a ghost, Yang Jian, stop pretending, if you want to kill me just say so, why bother with all this.” Guo You gasped, He couldn’t stand steady anymore and knelt on the ground, blood continuously flowing out.

He was shot, his injuries rapidly worsening, soon he would bleed into unconsciousness, even death.

Li Yi’s expression changed unpredictably.

He dared not assert that Guo You was not a ghost, but he also dared not assert that he was.

Because Guo You’s demeanor and tone hadn’t changed at all, completely normal as usual, but the shadow behind him was indeed abnormally different from others.

This is real evidence.

“Seeing you like this, I somewhat understand why the Dachuan City’s leader, Li Leping, would lose two teammates.” Yang Jian’s eyes flickered slightly as he took a big step forward.

“No ghost intrusion maintains a normal appearance, suddenly attacking, it’s impossible for anyone to guard against, especially when it’s unexpected after all, as the ghost can steal a living person’s memories, just a perfect disguise could even make themselves unaware of any abnormalities.”

As he approached.

The shadow in front of Guo You shook and swayed, especially at the head area, it was more obvious.

Because the shadow at that spot was darker, more solid, and even vaguely depicted the contours of facial features.

Ghost.

Found it.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

But it was to be expected, after all, it involved using Xiong Wenwen’s Premonition Ability, directly locking onto Guo You who was invaded by the ghost.

Otherwise, if he had really mixed into the crowd, maybe unbeknownst to all, he could infiltrate everyone.

Then, that would really be a disaster.

A consciousness-invading type of ghost is a nemesis to all ghost handlers, no exception.

The next moment.

Yang Jian made his move.

He almost didn’t hesitate at all, swinging his hand, the Coffin Nail in his hand was thrown out like a dart.

With his current physical condition, the thrown Coffin Nail had tremendous force, literally like a bullet directly landing on the cement ground in front of Guo You.

The rusty Coffin Nail that seemed about to break actually shattered the cement ground, sinking deeply into it.

At the same time.

The black shadow with facial features on the ground was also nailed down by the Coffin Nail.

What was terrifying was that after the shadow was nailed, it gradually emerged from the ground, like a ball sinking into water, slowly surfacing.

Finally, Guo You’s shadow dispersed.

He became a person without a shadow, and the remaining shadow became a black human head.

A human head formed by the shadow, lying there quietly as a solid entity, pierced by a rusty Coffin Nail.

“I, I’m not a ghost…” Guo You let out a voice of unwillingness, his consciousness quickly blurred, finally sinking into a cold and dark environment.

He died.

Because the source of the supernatural was severed, his consciousness could not be retained, so it dissipated.

Even though his body was still alive, the heart still beating, but without the sustaining supernatural, there was no possibility of survival.

“Dead?” Li Yi watched, his feelings complicated, intertwined with grief.

He is not a ghost handler, he is a normal living person, he has emotions.

But he couldn’t do anything, because Yang Jian was right.

Ghosts were really on Guo You.

And Guo You, till death, didn’t feel he himself was a ghost.

“Caught the head of the Headless Ghost Shadow,” Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of ease in his heart.

The process was simple, but it took so much effort to detain this fierce ghost, they even called for the support of two teammates.

“That’s it? Isn’t it a bit too easy?” Xiong Wenwen only then cautiously stepped out, looking at the rising black shadowy head on the ground, he said somewhat incredulously.

“Simple? You didn’t see how many people took action.”

Yang Jian said, “For safety’s sake, I even used this Coffin Nail, a thing that can nail down even a Hungry Ghost. Using it on this incomplete fierce ghost is like using a cannon to beat a mosquito. But it’s worth it, this thing is too dangerous, I was worried that ordinary methods couldn’t suppress it, and I might accidentally have my consciousness invaded and be controlled by the ghost without even knowing.”

“With a Coffin Nail, all supernatural powers get nullified, only this way is infallible.”

“Scared of death, just admit it, don’t put it so grandly,” Xiong Wenwen snorted, “Claiming it’s so serious when it’s actually a simple little thing.”

“I think you need more homework,” Yang Jian glared at him.

Little brats really don’t understand what being cautious and prudent mean.

Can’t be bothered to explain to him.

“Tong Qian, find a box to pack that ghost. Let’s not return on this plane for now, just leave it parked at this airport, I can still go back after I’ve taken care of another matter,” Yang Jian said.

“What else is there?” asked Tong Qian.

Yang Jian said; “A task of delivering a letter, here in the Mingyue Community, which is another hotspot for supernatural occurrences. The thing we just dealt with was merely a starter, the real danger might have just begun.”

Mingyue Community, codenamed Ferocious Ghost District in the files.

At present, it’s confirmed that Dachuan City’s person in charge, Li Leping, is staying in Mingyue Community.

Moreover, the delivery task from the Ghost Post Office also points to this community.

These pieces of information linked together are already proving a lot of things.

“When do you plan to take action? Need help?” Tong Qian said; “Since we’re here, might as well solve all the supernatural events in this city, so nothing else goes wrong.”

“No rush, today’s plan has already been carried out smoothly. Everyone should rest first, and we’ll head to Mingyue Community tomorrow morning,” Yang Jian said.

Tong Qian said; “Then let’s just sleep on the plane tonight, there is a rest lounge on board.”

The private jet was quite luxurious, equipped with a dedicated lounge.

Yang Jian nodded, then looked back; “Do you all want to join? Or do you prefer to stay in this airport full of dead bodies?”

Li Yi, Liu Qingqing, and Yang Xiaohua all fell silent for a moment.

Everything that just happened was too sudden, hard to come to terms with in a short time.

The laugh of Ghost Face, the weird paper children, Guo You’s death, and the imprisonment of the fierce ghost, each event profoundly impacted them.

This was already beyond what a messenger could achieve.

These people, as if they were born to deal with fierce ghosts.

Especially that Coffin Nail…

Even capable of nailing a fierce ghost to the ground so that it couldn’t move an inch.

If a messenger could have such a thing, one could only imagine how much it would improve their survival chance.

Of course, that’s just wishful thinking.

No one dares to mess with that thing, aside from Yang Jian’s presence, more importantly, beneath that Coffin Nail, a ghost was nailed down, who knows, if you took it away, the ghost might kill you the next moment.

“Then I’ll impose on you, staying in your private jet for one night,” Yang Xiaohua sighed gently, choosing to stay.

Since they were willing to cling to powerful support, they might as well do it thoroughly.

Even knowing that these people were very dangerous and weird, they couldn’t just leave like that.
