After Yang Jian disappeared from Si Ye's sight, he did not immediately look for Wang Xiaoming, but first went to retrieve the Human Skin Paper.
Originally, in his mind, after the Fierce Ghost System Crash, the Human Skin Paper should not have been needed for a short time.
But Si Ye's words were a heavy blow to him.
Yang Jian took the Human Skin Paper out of the Golden Box, and the familiar dialogue reappeared in his eyes.
"My name is Yang Jian. When you see this sentence, I am already dead." Such words slowly appeared on the Human Skin Paper, written crookedly.
"After finally coming back, can't you, you ghost thing, wish me well?" Yang Jian said to the Human Skin Paper.
"My name is Yang Jian. When I saw this sentence back then, I was already dead. I died at the hands of the Starving Ghost." The Human Skin Paper did not respond to Yang Jian; the writing on it began to change.
"After I returned, I did not choose to believe Si Ye's words. After a brief discussion with Wang Xiaoming, I finally decided to take down the Coffin Nail nailed to the Ghost Eye's master."
"I took the Coffin Nail to deal with the Starving Ghost. The situation was not very smooth. The Starving Ghost used a method that I could not resist at the critical moment to neutralize the attack."
"But fortunately, with Wang Xiaoming's reminder, I found a way to nail the Coffin Nail into the Starving Ghost's body in one strike, and it could not neutralize it."
"The plan went smoothly, and the Coffin Nail was about to hit the Starving Ghost."
"However, at this moment, an unexpected scene occurred. I saw the Starving Ghost take out a Card belonging to Si Ye. Under the protection of the Card, the Starving Ghost's body dodged that attack in a strange way."
"Having lost this opportunity, the Starving Ghost was already on guard. I could not continue the confinement, and I was killed. Dachang City also fell into despair."
Yang Jian looked at the words on the Human Skin Paper, his expression becoming solemn.
"So that Card is real, a special Fierce Ghost, special rules?"
"I have now confirmed the existence of this Card. Tell me, if I am already prepared, can I deal with the Starving Ghost next time without Si Ye's help?"
Yang Jian asked the Human Skin Paper; "Don't be silent here. If I fail, you will also be eaten by the Starving Ghost next."
"You need to help me eliminate the reasons for potential failure now so that I can confine the Starving Ghost."
"As for the matters between us, we will discuss them after the Starvation Ghost Incident is over."
As if worried that Yang Jian would make the wrong choice and fail to confine the Starving Ghost, the Human Skin Paper spoke again.
"I confirmed the authenticity of that Card through the Human Skin Paper, but I still chose not to let Si Ye help. I think I only need to pay attention to this Card."
"I fought the Starving Ghost again. I knew clearly that with that Card in its possession, the Starving Ghost had two chances. So, while dealing with the Starving Ghost, I was looking for another method."
"But unfortunately, because I was worried about the Card in the Starving Ghost's hand, this time my successful engagement with the Starving Ghost was even less successful than the result mentioned by the Human Skin Paper."
"Because of worry, it was hard for me to fight the Starving Ghost with my full strength, and I never got the chance to use the Coffin Nail a second time until the end."
Yang Jian looked at the answer provided by the Human Skin Paper, and his heart sank.
In the first battle, he at least used the Coffin Nail twice. Although both times were close, both posed a threat to the Starving Ghost.
"It seems I can only rely on Si Ye?" Yang Jian looked at the Human Skin Paper and asked for its next answer.
However, the Human Skin Paper did not respond again.
But seeing this, Yang Jian felt a bit relieved.
The Human Skin Paper was unwilling to help him anymore, which meant that the other party believed he already had a way to survive and confine the Starving Ghost.
And now, what Yang Jian wanted to ask was nothing more than the condition he agreed to with Si Ye.
"Since that's the case, let's try it. At least I have confirmed that he is not being controlled by Zhao Kaiming."
"Otherwise, just as he said himself, this Card is enough to affect my next battle. I just don't know how he managed to let the Starving Ghost keep this Card."
Yang Jian recalled something: Si Ye said he needed to use a Supernatural ability to leave a Medium on him so that he could hold the Card.
But if the Starving Ghost held Si Ye's Card, did that mean Si Ye had met the Starving Ghost and left a Medium on it?
But this was impossible. Although Si Ye's ghost was special, having only controlled one ghost, he could not fully exert that ghost's abilities.
Thinking of this, Yang Jian looked at the Human Skin Paper and asked him about Si Ye.
"I met a person who has no past. Si Ye, that is what he calls himself. I cannot confirm if this name is true, but let's assume for now that it is real."
The Human Skin Paper did not hide anything this time and gave Yang Jian the answer, seemingly wanting him not to worry about Si Ye, lest there be any accidents in dealing with the Starving Ghost.
However, the Human Skin Paper's words raised more questions in Yang Jian's mind.
"No past? Is it because the past was erased by some Supernatural ability? Or what reason?" Yang Jian was puzzled, but he soon stopped caring about the matter.
Yang Jian then contacted Wang Xiaoming and the others. After confirming the next course of action, he found Si Ye again.
"You've come?"
Si Ye was sitting on a chair, seemingly unsurprised by Yang Jian's arrival.
He was still holding a deck of playing cards, playing landlord with Zhang Wei and Zhang Han, but it seemed that Zhang Han and Zhang Wei mostly lost.
"I agree to the countermeasures you mentioned this time. Come out with me for a moment." Yang Jian looked at Si Ye, then at his good buddy Zhang Wei.
"Sure, but you have to wait a moment until I finish this round." Si Ye played a pair of threes, speaking calmly.
"After all, for a true Card player, leaving before the card game is over is not a good omen."
Yang Jian nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Yang Jian chuckled, "Calling yourself a Card player is quite fitting."
"It's a way to relieve stress," Si Ye said casually.
"This thing wants to play cards whenever it gets stimulated. I don't have a complete deck for the thing inside my body to play with, so I can only look for these ordinary cards."
The card game soon ended with Si Ye's victory.
Zhang Wei showed a look of dissatisfaction: "Why? You've been the landlord for ten consecutive rounds, winning every time. I'm not convinced."
"Young man, this is the strength of a Card Saint. As long as it's a card game, I will never lose." Si Ye patted Zhang Wei's shoulder and walked outside with Yang Jian.
Zhang Wei pouted, "Card Saint, I will defeat you sooner or later."
"Zhang Wei, there is one thing I have to remind you about. Si Ye is a Ghost Controller, and the ghost he controls should be related to playing cards,"
Zhang Han said in a very flat tone.
But as soon as Zhang Wei heard this, his head immediately drooped.
"So he is actually a Card Ghost?"
