The Scarlet Ghost Script spread wantonly in Jiang Shan's mind. The extreme coldness caused his thoughts to stagnate, and his body began to stiffen.
But no one knew, and even Jiang Shan himself did not know,
that just as the Ghost Script was about to flood his brain, a broken piece of Newspaper Paper, bearing traces of dried blood, began to emit terrifying supernatural power.
The two supernatural entities began to collide in Jiang Shan's mind. A strange red light emanated from his entire body, and his skin started to tear.
"Ah! Aaaah!"
The confrontation between the two Fierce Ghosts tore apart every piece of flesh on Jiang Shan's body. The grotesque wounds grew larger and larger, and the Ghost Script spread out from the depths of the wounds, instantly covering Jiang Shan entirely.
The torture, akin to slow slicing, suddenly cleared Jiang Shan's muddled consciousness, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared in his previously dead eyes.
Having resigned himself to death, he never expected that the day of his revival would come!
As soon as he transmigrated into the world of Mysterious Revival, he encountered the Newspaper Ghost at home.
In Jiang Shan's understanding, the Ghost's Killing Pattern and method of killing were like a program running on computer code; if one could find a loophole, there might be A Glimmer of Hope amidst the inescapable pattern!
Facing an intelligent Fierce Ghost, having just transmigrated and having no time to do anything, he could only gamble that the Newspaper Ghost could only alter one person's memory.
And since his body contained the memories of two people, this was Jiang Shan's last hope.
When the Newspaper Ghost stole the memories of his predecessor and then possessed Jiang Shan's body, he successfully achieved Ghost Control over this Fierce Ghost.
But Jiang Shan hadn't anticipated that although he controlled the Newspaper Ghost, his own memories were stripped away by the Newspaper Ghost and eternally imprisoned within it.
And just before he lost consciousness,
Jiang Shan felt the Newspaper Ghost actually modifying the original body's memories back to how they were.
As expected, the original owner would once again replace Jiang Shan and continue his life.
The Newspaper Ghost's maneuver directly resulted in "the original owner's suicide being for naught, and Jiang Shan's transmigration being in vain."
Jiang Shan, who had already accepted his fate, did not expect the change to come so quickly!
He had actually returned!
As the original owner's memories faded, everything that had happened to this body began flooding into Jiang Shan's mind, but now was not the time for him to rejoice.
Jiang Shan gritted his teeth, carefully observing the Ghost Script at the torn skin, his brain rapidly processing:
The Fierce Ghost triggering the Killing Pattern inside his body, Jiang Shan provisionally named it the Ghost Script.
He glanced at the dead female classmate on the ground. The girl was stiff, her head tilted straight up.
Jiang Shan noticed that her eyeballs were covered with Blood-red Ghost Characters, and the Ghost Characters also appeared on the cut wound on her Calf.
He was now certain that this Ghost Script was like a plague or a virus; the difference was that the Ghost Script triggered internally in the human body in a tangible form, causing instant death.
And because he controlled the Newspaper Ghost internally, he did not die instantly, and even showed signs of gaining Ghost Control over the Ghost Script!
Thinking of this, Jiang Shan couldn't help but feel a bit fortunate. Without the Newspaper Ghost's existence, he didn't know how he would have avoided this inescapable Killing Pattern that meant certain death upon contact.
This was a Fierce Ghost never before seen in Mysterious Revival. Although he had prepared for encountering Fierce Ghosts, he couldn't stop the Fear towards this one he knew nothing about.
The Supernatural Confrontation between the Fierce Ghosts continued.
The bone-chilling cold made Jiang Shan unable to move an inch. The stairwell was illuminated by the red light emanating from him, appearing exceptionally eerie.
Jiang Shan was shocked by the Newspaper Ghost's terrifying ability; it was actually modifying the Ghost Script's fatal pattern, much like brainwashing new recruits in a pyramid scheme. The Ghost Script that had permeated his body was truly disappearing bit by bit.
Jiang Shan felt he was gradually gaining Ghost Control over the Ghost Script.
Following this, Jiang Shan found he could see more and more clearly what the Ghost Characters covering the entire wall at the stairwell entrance read.
But the more he looked, the colder his heart became.
The entire wall was covered with one sentence:
"I am Jiang Shan, the Knocking Ghost will come to the school tonight, and I will die."
The Knocking Ghost!
Jiang Shan couldn't help but think of that old man wearing a long black gown, covered in corpse spots.
Although he was about to gain control of a Second Ghost, Jiang Shan still had no confidence that he could survive against that terrifying Knocking Ghost.
"The tone is exactly the same as Yang Jian's Human Skin Paper."
"Is this Ghost Script a Puzzle Piece of the Human Skin Paper?"
There was no time to investigate this now.
When the Ghost Characters covering the entire wall completely vanished and the red light covering his body slowly disappeared, Jiang Shan finally achieved Ghost Control over this Fierce Ghost, which he suspected was a Puzzle Piece of the Human Skin Paper.
"Hurry up and leave, get out of the school first."
Although he didn't know if the Knocking Ghost would really come, escaping this place of trouble first was the safest course of action.
On the sports field outside the teaching building.
"Tap, tap... tap."
The crisp footsteps instantly threw the group resting in the Grey Fog on the sports field into panic. They looked around nervously. A boy gasped for breath, his face full of Fear, saying:
"Ghost! The Ghost is here again!"
"Help, help, I can't run anymore, I don't want to die!"
His words made everyone present tremble, and an aura of despair spread among the crowd.
They had fled frantically all this way, losing track of how many people they had stepped on or trampled. In this Grey Fog, they were already exhausted to the point of collapse, now lacking even the strength to walk.
The Ghost was here again; they didn't want to die!
"Run! Let's keep running in the opposite direction of the sound! We can't just stand here and wait to die!"
Chen Yue, already drenched in sweat, spoke up.
Although she was breathless, the moment she recalled Jiang Shan's pale, cold face in the hallway, her Hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Just as she prepared to grit her teeth and keep running, she suddenly heard a whispering conversation:
"Have you noticed? As soon as one person gets lost, the sound stops..."
The speaker was Zhang Lei, the class's sports representative, a tall man of One Meter eighty with a body full of muscle, but now he too was soaked in sweat. He spoke quietly to the boys around him:
"Listen quickly, hasn't the sound stopped!"
"It's true! Liu Shuang disappeared just now, and the sound really stopped!" one boy exclaimed excitedly.
The four people gathered around Zhang Lei seemed to see a glimmer of hope, while Chen Yue, nearby, felt a strong Unease upon hearing their words.
As the crowd began to flee frantically once more, she closely watched the movements of Zhang Lei's small group.
"Don't crowd me, don't crowd me!"
"Ah!..."
A female classmate let out a piercing scream and then Fell Down heavily onto the ground.
Indeed!
Chen Yue saw a trace of madness in Zhang Lei's eyes; they had already lost their humanity from being terrified by the Ghost!
Following the scream, the crisp footsteps truly disappeared.
Zhang Lei gasped for breath, his face fierce, staring at the people around him, silently counting:
"Twelve, thirteen..."
Excluding himself, there were thirteen people left who could delay the Ghost's steps. By then, he would definitely be able to run out, he would definitely survive!
The crowd's escape continued, but besides Chen Yue, no one knew that they had already become bargaining chips for others to survive.
At this moment,
Jiang Shan spotted the fleeing crowd. This patch of Grey Fog seemed to have stripped away everyone's perception; even though Jiang Shan shouted at them loudly, not a single person turned back, as if they hadn't heard him.
This fog is problematic!
Jiang Shan's heart tightened. He had gained control of the Ghost Script, but this Grey Fog had not dissipated in the slightest.
He had guessed this fog was just ordinary weather, but now...
"A Ghost Domain?"
Jiang Shan muttered as he walked toward the crowd.
There was a Second Ghost in the school?!
Suddenly, Jiang Shan thought of the Rotting Human Face outside the window. The Ghost Script involuntarily surfaced in his mind, forming a sentence:
"I am Jiang Shan, the Knocking Ghost is coming, the Dead Face Ghost is also coming, I am undoubtedly doomed..."
