Inside the water valve room, Jiang Chen noticed a heavy footstep approaching rapidly, accompanied by a strong smell of disinfectant, soon reaching the fifth-floor corridor.
"Oh, so you hid in here!"
A heavy pounding on the door sounded from outside.
Bang! Bang!
With two strikes, the security door was directly broken open.
Jiang Chen's eyelid twitched involuntarily. With his current remaining strength, if he faced this ghost, he feared it would slap him to death with a single blow.
The female ghost entered room 502 but didn't find anyone.
"Hehehe, too cunning. I must get your answer!" She suddenly rushed out again, heading straight downstairs.
In the cramped water valve room, the two people squeezed together simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman was relieved because the ghost had temporarily left.
Jiang Chen was relieved because he could barely suppress his gun.
"My name is Chen Xue. You can think of me as a special agent dealing with supernatural events, or call us—Metahumans." Chen Xue released the hand that had been covering Jiang Chen's mouth, a faint blush rising on her pretty face in the darkness.
"As for the earlier rudeness, I won't apologize, after all, I saved your life."
"From now on, stick close to me, and you'll have a slim chance of survival!"
As she spoke, she pushed open the wooden door, and the talisman on the door fell off, spontaneously combusting in mid-air, burning into a pile of ash.
"Let's go out..." Chen Xue started to say, but suddenly stopped, her face darkening.
Because at the corner of the dark corridor between the fifth and fourth floors, a woman covered in blood, holding a knife, was stealthily peeking out. Her face was completely disfigured, devoid of features, yet seemed to be smiling.
"So you were hiding here, can you tell me now, am I beautiful?" The cold, hoarse voice sent chills down one's spine.
Chen Xue's face was calm, her fingers forming a sword gesture, pinching a yellow talisman, chanting rapidly: "Heaven and Earth, the mysterious sect, the root of all Qi. Cultivate through billions of kalpas, witness my divine power."
"Golden Light Talisman!"
During this process, the female ghost, holding a forearm-length dagger, suddenly charged forward: "You don't speak, do you think I'm not beautiful?"
She rushed forward in a few steps, reaching Chen Xue, the dagger slashing down fiercely.
Chen Xue's fingertip talisman burst with golden light, clashing with the dagger.
Clang!
The sound of metal striking metal rang out, the female ghost's dagger flew from her hand, and she screamed, thrown back against the stairs.
But the next moment, Chen Xue suddenly stepped back, colliding with Jiang Chen, and he felt a tremendous force hit him, slamming him against the wall, almost making him cough up blood.
"Ah..." Chen Xue cried out in pain, clutching her shoulder, the previous strike having torn her wound open again.
More critically, the ghost qi was corroding her, forcing her to divert her true qi to suppress it. After activating the Golden Light Talisman, she had no true qi left to fight.
"Damn it, a mid-tier malicious ghost should have been easy to handle, but who knew there was another ghost in this damned place!"
Chen Xue looked back at Jiang Chen with a face full of unwillingness: "My true qi is almost exhausted. In a moment, I'll fight to hold it off, you run downstairs, contact the Public Security Office, and have them send Metahumans, understand?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
By this time, the female ghost had already gotten up, picked up the dagger again, and approached the two of them. Upon seeing Jiang Chen, she seemed delighted: "Oh, there's another young man here. Do you think I'm beautiful?"
Jiang Chen glanced at her: "Miss, you are very beautiful."
"No!" Chen Xue didn't have time to stop him, her face darkening: "You answered her question, she'll haunt you to death!"
Sure enough, the female ghost's laughter grew colder: "Oh? You really think I look beautiful like this? Do you want me to make you look the same?"
As she spoke, the dagger in her hand inexplicably began to drip blood, a precursor to her attack.
"Why do this? Everyone is a unique flower, ghost sister, your thinking is too extreme!" Jiang Chen shook his head.
"But if I don't do this, how can I prove you really think I'm beautiful?" The female ghost sneered coldly.
"That's simple!" Jiang Chen's eyes seemed to brighten, grabbing the female ghost's cold wrist: "Come! Let's go inside!"
The ghost was momentarily stunned, her ghostly face freezing for a moment as she realized what was happening.
"Go inside for what? Isn't this moving too fast? Ghost Qi +10."
"Come on, ghost sister, let me get to know your beauty more deeply!" Jiang Chen forcefully dragged her, his intense gaze leaving the disfigured ghost shocked.
Why is he looking at me like that? Does he really want to do me?
I'm a ghost!
"Ghost Qi +20."
Chen Xue watched in a daze.
She never imagined the situation would develop like this.
At this moment, seeing the female ghost unmoving, Jiang Chen stepped forward, wrapped his arm around her, and blew warm air by her neck: "What, shy?"
The disfigured ghost shivered violently, jumping away like a startled kitten.
"Damn! He's flirting with a ghost? Is he a devil? Ghost Qi +30."
Of course, this was all a subconscious reaction in bewilderment.
The female ghost calmed down and suddenly grabbed Jiang Chen: "Fine, let's go inside, but if you're not sincere, I'll destroy your entire face bit by bit!" Visit g.com for the full chapter.
A man and a ghost entered the bedroom of room 502.
As soon as they entered, the female ghost pinned Jiang Chen against the wall, her bloodied face bearing a sinister smile: "Hehehe, I forgot to mention, since you love me so much, you must also want to look like me, right?"
"Sigh..." Jiang Chen sighed.
This ghost wasn't as easy to fool as the jumping ghost, and after only gaining 60 Ghost Qi, he had to use the Demonization Card.
"Forget it, anyway, when the ghost is completely dead, there's another wave of maximum Ghost Qi."
"Use Demonization Card—"
"Red Python Demon!"
Jiang Chen's body began to change, muscles swelling, skin becoming as hard as steel, his blood like a boiling furnace, surging demonic power flowing within.
"Ding, randomly acquired divine power—Demonic Python Strength!"
The female ghost's expression froze, realizing the man before her seemed to have grown taller, his wrist in her grasp becoming incredibly hard, even causing a stinging sensation.
Especially his gaze, which instantly became sharp, transforming from a little white rabbit at her mercy into a top predator.
"Hehe..." Jiang Chen's lips curled into a confident smile, staring directly at the female ghost raising her dagger: "Ghost sister, why be so obsessed with appearances?"
"Hmph! You people only talk big, wait until you're as ugly as me, then you'll know how malicious others' gazes can be!" The female ghost's body trembled uncontrollably, crazily raising the dagger to stab Jiang Chen's face.
"I see, you're not very confident in your appearance." Jiang Chen nodded knowingly: "That's simple, I'm a very amateur doctor, I can help you solve this problem permanently."
"In theory, as long as we perform a small surgery to remove the body tissue above the neck, no one will care about your appearance!"
His words left the female ghost momentarily stunned.
Is there really such a miraculous surgery?
No, removing the body tissue above the neck... isn't that just chopping off my head? Damn it!
"Ghost Qi +30."
"I'll kill you!" The female ghost's face was full of malice.
Jiang Chen extended a hand, using his terrifying strength to grip the female ghost's descending wrist, crushing her bones with an almost brute force.
The dagger fell, caught by him, and he slashed out.
Thud...
A head rolled to the ground.
