Chapter 279 Pursuing Answers to the Past

It has been five days since the haze dissipated in Dachang City.

Dachang City needs to be repaired, and Yang Jian also needs to be repaired.

He needed to get familiar with his situation as soon as possible. His body had undergone some unexpected changes after he was resurrected from the dead. He could feel that he was completely different from before.

As for what the difference was, Yang Jian couldn't tell clearly.

If I have to say it, it is a kind of alternative rebirth, as if it has broken away from all the previous constraints.

Second, the various functions of the body have become a little weird.

Yang Jian checked and found that half of his body was that of a normal person, while the other half no longer belonged to a living person, but to a dead person, cold, somewhat stiff, and covered with corpse spots.

"Perhaps I can still think like a person without completely turning into a strange existence. This is also because my body has not completely died. Sometimes I wonder, is it the mind that controls people's thoughts? Body?"

"If it is the mind, then if the body dies, will the person's seven emotions and six desires still be there? Without the seven emotions and six desires, this person will not be a complete person."

After sitting quietly and thinking for a while, Yang Jian decided to give up on this somewhat philosophical question.

This is not what I should be concerned about now.

What he cares about is how his body is different from before after he was resurrected from the dead. What difference does it make if he completely merges with the ghost and controls it perfectly.

The previous exploration was very short, just rough application.

But in these five days, Yang Jian gradually gained a clear understanding.

The first is physical strength.

Yang Jian's not-so-strong body was surprisingly powerful in the fusion of ghosts. He had tried it in the gym, and he could lift a 500-kilogram barbell with one hand without feeling anything. Where there is discomfort, the changes brought about by this supernatural power are indeed incredible.

If he explodes at full strength, he can reach the ton level just by relying on strength.

He is a strong man.

But this is of no use. If you are strong, you can only bully ordinary people. When you encounter evil spirits, relying on strength is useless. If strength is useful, missiles will be useful too.

It can only be regarded as a small derived ability.

Then there is the ability to resist being hit. Yang Jian is now almost physically immune. He once tried jumping off the fifth floor. Of course, to be on the safe side, he used Ghost Domain to temporarily protect key parts.

It didn't matter that he fell to the ground, so he patted his butt and stood up.

Of course, this premise cannot be done head-down. There is no ghost in his head and cannot be protected. This is a weakness.

Special golden bullets can penetrate Yang Jian's body.

But it was just shot in. Yang Jian felt no pain. The bullet would even be automatically pushed out by the ghost in his body the next moment, leaving only a wound.

Wounds will not heal automatically and need to be healed slowly by the body.

In addition, Yang Jian also has a strange ability. He can control any part of the body, even the internal organs and bones in the body. He can take out his own.

There will be no pain or discomfort, because the body is already a ghost.

It has many ghost characteristics.

After some restorative exercise, Yang Jian walked out of the gym. As usual, he went to the fifth floor to check the conditions of each room.

He has three rooms that are locked.

There was a dressing mirror from the Republic of China period in one room, covered with a piece of black cloth. Yang Jiankai looked at it several times, but it was still the same as usual without any changes.

There is a small crack on the top of the mirror, which is left from the previous battle between the ghost shadow and the ghost mirror. At the bottom of the mirror, there is a cold and blackened arm. This is left by the ghost of the mirror, it is Yang Jian. The consequences of fighting a ghost in the mirror after resurrection.

The second room is a small box with a pile of bones wrapped in gold foil, which is the ghost skeleton in Wang Xiaoqiang's body.

Yang Jian has been kept here untouched since he was imprisoned, and of course he has not been returned to Wang Xiaoming.

He originally kept this thing because he wanted to artificially create a ghost controller. As long as this ghost skeleton is put into a person's body, that person will become the second Wang Xiaoqiang and cannot be killed no matter how hard he kills him.

But he lacked the corresponding means at the time, so he temporarily forgot about it.

But now, he can completely use the combined power of Ghost Infant and Ghost Realm to directly reshape people's bones, including himself of course.

"Putting me in this ghost skeleton doesn't seem to be of much use. Although my ghost shadow can control this skeleton, it seems to have no use other than immortality. I also have the characteristic of immortality, so I'll save it for future use. ." Yang Jian secretly said.

The third room contains the ghost rope.

It is already in a state of complete recovery. As long as the restrictions of gold are unlocked, it can spread infinitely and even ghosts can be hung up, let alone people.

Yang Jian can suppress this thing perfectly now. Thinking of going out today, he might as well take it with him.

The old straw rope was wrapped with a layer of gold foil, making it look like a gold rope without the weird feeling.

It is tied around the waist like a whip. It is used as a special weapon to deal with evil spirits. It can be used for self-defense, but it needs to be controlled well, because strictly speaking, this is a weapon of mass destruction. As long as Yang Jian unties it Throw the ghost rope forward, and almost all the enemies except him will hang themselves on the southeast branch.

Controlling a resurrected ghost as a weapon was something only Yang Jian could do.

There was nothing weird in the fourth room, only some equipment that Yang Jian bought online, including body bags, gold boxes, special weapons, such as gold swing sticks, gloves made of gold wire, gold lighters, flashlights, and binoculars. Golden smoke bombs. In addition, there are a batch of weapons that were captured earlier, all specially made, including three sniper rifles.

He spent hundreds of millions to buy these things.

In fact, the things are not valuable, they are just ordinary utensils, but gold is valuable. If there are two words "special" next to them, no need to ask, it must be gold, or gold alloy.

Four doors were locked, and there was a fifth room that didn't exist.

in the walls.

Yang Jian can get it out with Ghost Domain.

It's a box containing human skin paper.

I heard from Zhang Wei that the box containing the human skin paper seemed to have been opened when he was in the safe house.

After inspection, Yang Jian did find that the box had been opened. It didn't look like a man-made sign because the opening was too perfect.

"This thing is very evil. If it weren't for its value, I should have thrown it into the deep sea." Yang Jian stared at the wall.

After some contact with Zhao Kaiming, he began to realize that there was great terror in this thing, but it had not yet appeared.

Once it is completely revealed, I'm afraid it won't be on the level of a starving ghost.

He would never use this thing again unless he was in a desperate situation.

"Everything has been peaceful for five days. It's time to go to Hongfa Temple." Yang Jian thought to himself, and then left the somewhat gloomy fifth floor.

Another reason why he didn't go out these days was to observe whether the ghost thing restrained by the coffin nails made any movement.

Things were a bit unexpected and everything was calm.

This is good news and bad news. The good news is that it is okay for the time being, but the bad news is that this hidden danger always exists.

"I'm going out for a trip. If anything happens here, please inform me immediately and I will rush back immediately." Yang Jian felt that there were too many ghost masters coming to Dachang City during this period, so he was a little worried.

Jiang Yan vowed that there would be no problem.

In the community.

Zhang Xiangui's construction site started working again. After the supernatural incident ended, he immediately hired a construction team from other places at a high price to complete the remaining safe houses.

After all, there is no guarantee that we will not encounter supernatural incidents again in the future. After the safe house is completed, if something goes wrong, we will live in it for a few days.

As long as the supporting facilities are complete, the inside will definitely be comparable to a five-star hotel. There won't be people spraying feces all over the room like this time, and others will have to pinch their noses to endure it.

"Yang Jian, are you going out?" Zhang Xiangui saw Yang Jian coming out and hurried over.

"Well, I want to go out for a walk. Is the construction going well?" Yang Jian took a look and asked.

Zhang Xiangui said: "There is no need to rush the work this time. It will be built beautifully within a month. However, there have been a lot of people looking for me recently. You are also a shareholder of the company. Give me a reference. After all, you know more than me." many."

"What's wrong?" Yang Jian asked.

Zhang Xiangui said: "It's all people who can't afford to offend who want to buy houses in the community. They spend hundreds of millions at a time. They buy them in tracts. The price is the original price. Do you think you should sell it or not? What does Dachang City look like?" , many people are selling their houses and moving away from here. I think the economy of Dachang City will soon be in ruins, and with so many people dying this time, the future prospects will be worrying."

Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "This will be the case not just in Dachang City, but also in other cities in the future. The supernatural events cannot be suppressed for long. This time is a sign. It's just that we are unlucky that the starving ghost incident happened locally, but next time It might happen in other cities, and it would be a global disaster, and it would be useless to go anywhere.”

"I can only say that people who move out of Dachang City will regret it for the rest of their lives. With the starving ghost incident here, the decrease in population, and the disappearance of the ghosts, local supernatural incidents will not break out again for a long time in the future. Just like a fire in the forest, everything is burned away, and all that is left is to usher in new life.”

Zhang Xiangui is also a smart man. After working in real estate for half his life, he immediately understood what Yang Jian meant.

"Of course, this is just one aspect. The other aspect, and the most important point, is that I live here."

Yang Jian's eyes moved: "I have the ability to defend this place. They came to buy the house not because of the value here, but because of my value. The news that I solved the starving ghost incident cannot be spread outside, but internally , I’m afraid it’s already known to everyone.”

"If that's the case, then I'll cover it up." Zhang Xiangui said, "But some people can't afford to offend me if I don't sell it."

"Sell, of course. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to have so many empty houses here? It's just that the price is too low. Let's increase it a hundred times first and then talk about it. They are so rich and spend so generously, so they will kill the rich first. What's the problem? Come on my head."

"Brother Legs, can you bear it?"

Yang Jian said: "I can withstand millions of lives, what does Uncle Zhang say?"

Zhang Xiangui smiled and was a little excited at the same time. He had a hunch that there was a huge business opportunity in this. Maybe in the future, this Guanjiang Community will become a gathering place for the world's top wealthy people.

As long as Yang Jian doesn't collapse, this will be one of the safest commercial communities in the world.

Soon, Yang Jian drove away.

He rushed to Hongfa Temple.

Of course, he could arrive within a second if he used Ghost Realm, but it was still very irrational to abuse Li Gui's power. Although Yang Jian has now extended Li Gui's recovery time, his condition is better than the previous two times, but it is not there yet. To the point of squandering freely.

Dachang City has implemented road control at this time. Except for national rescue vehicles and public servants, no private cars are allowed on the road to ensure smooth traffic.

And special personnel can be seen patrolling everywhere to ensure law and order in the city.

Yang Jian encountered special personnel for interrogation, and he took out his headquarters ID to get through unimpeded.

"Ghost Eye Yang Jian?"

Seeing his ID, the squad leader was a little in awe.

This made Yang Jian feel embarrassed.

"There seem to be a lot of people here."

When he came to Hongfa Temple.

They are all residents who survived.

Yang Jian inquired about it and got a general understanding of the situation.

"How long will it take to wait in line like this? Although it is not good to abuse your power, it is the only way to find an answer and the truth."

Don't be willing to wait in a long queue.

He directly used the ghost domain to cover Hongfa Temple.

Without affecting anyone, Yang Jian mysteriously disappeared in a corner, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived at a residence in the backyard.

The bald abbot was wearing plain clothes and glasses and was watching TV.

"Master, are you still in the mood to watch TV?" The door was locked, but Yang Jian appeared in his room.

The bald master raised his head in surprise, but when he saw Yang Jian, he didn't seem surprised at all. He just smiled and put down his glasses, "I've been waiting for you to come over these days because I have some bad news to tell you. "

"What?"

"What's behind that door is missing."

The bald master said: "After you took away the coffin nails, within a minute there was nothing behind the door, only a bare wall."

Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly: "I have already made this guess. After all, Dachang City has been very quiet recently. If the ghosts there escape, something will happen."

"I'm afraid I don't have anything else to say. Regarding the secret room, I heard it mentioned by my master. My master said that there is a evil ghost in the secret room. Let us future generations take good care of it and never let the evil ghost come out to do evil. .”

The bald-headed master said, "I was ignorant when I was young. I went in out of curiosity and saw what was going on inside. A tree with white bones, a black shadow three meters high, and an eye with a strange red light."

Having said this, he looked at the ghost eye on Yang Jian's forehead.

"I was so scared that I ran out. Since then, I have adhered to my master's instructions, checked the door lock once a year, replaced and repaired it regularly, and prepared to pass this secret to the next generation."

The bald master said: "But a few months ago, the door opened and the eye disappeared."

"I took it."

Yang Jian said: "There is indeed a fierce ghost trapped inside, but that's not what I'm asking about. I'm asking about the origin of this thing. I wonder if the master knows about it."

"How do you know? My master doesn't even know. Maybe my master's master knows."

The bald master shook his head helplessly; "But I also got some information after checking. In fact, this basement is not old. There are some records of the construction of this basement in the temple, probably during the Republic of China."

"And the master's master happened to be alive at that time, so he might know the origin of this thing."

The Republic of China again?

Yang Jian frowned.

The basement is a building from the Republic of China period, and the old house in Guanjiang Community that has not been demolished is also a building from the Republic of China period.

Has there been a battle between the ghost master and the evil ghost since then?

Or maybe an incident involving the resurgence of evil ghosts had already occurred more than a hundred years ago, but at that time information was underdeveloped and the world structure was unstable, so it was ignored?

"It seems that pursuing the past can't get the answer I want." Yang Jian was a little disappointed.

I wanted to know more, but found that there was a gap in everything.

Time has erased all important information, and those who truly know the secret may no longer exist in this world.

Without being able to inherit the experience of their predecessors, all ghost controllers in the future are destined to have a very difficult time facing powerful ghosts.

There is a bit of a pause before entering the next plot.
