As Xia Xia's body trembled, Wan Hao realized that the suppressed Ghost Armor had regained its mobility.
"Is it time?"
Wan Hao couldn't describe his current mood; there was fear, certainly, but it didn't feel overwhelming.
He wanted to make one last call to his mother, but he couldn't move at all right now.
"Just as Captain Wang said, a Ghost that has undergone Revival, even if controlled through special means, will quickly revive, especially one like the Ghost Hand that has never been defeated."
Wan Hao felt a sense of pity; he had ascended to godhood by controlling a Malevolent Ghost, but his reign lasted less than three days.
He was probably the shortest-lived Ghost Controller in history.
Huh? Why hasn't he died yet after so long?
Wan Hao felt confused, rolled his eyes toward his hands, and a shocking sight appeared!
Xia Xia was completely dead now!
Because she no longer had the Supernatural Power to sustain it, the Ghost Armor stopped parasitizing Xia Xia, and the Ghost Armor detached from her body!
The Scarlet Ghost Armor, at some unknown time, had begun to merge into Wan Hao's Ghost Hand!
The Ghost Armor acted like a sharp knife, slicing open his Ghost Hand, and then burrowed inside. The wound on the Ghost Hand healed, but the Ghost Armor did not grow out!
Instead, Wan Hao's original fingernails turned Scarlet and Eerie!
The Ghost Armor replaced Wan Hao's previous fingernails!
However, the Ghost Armor was different from when it was on Xia Xia; since it didn't grow out, it resembled the fingernails of someone who frequently trimmed their nails.
The only difference was that Wan Hao's nails were Scarlet and Eerie!
"I—I controlled two Ghosts?"
Wan Hao was stunned; he had controlled the Ghost Armor without doing anything?
At this moment, Wan Hao recalled a paper he read online, which stated that Malevolent Ghosts kill to find their Puzzle Pieces, and Ghosts can grow stronger by increasing their Puzzle Pieces!
"The Ghost Armor wanted to find a Ghost Hand... and I just happen to have a Ghost Hand!"
At some unknown time, Wan Hao could no longer feel pain, but his hands remained cold and Eerie, emitting a sense of Deathly silence!
"The Ghost Hand and the Ghost Armor are fighting over my life; the existence of the Ghost Armor is offsetting the erosion from the Ghost Hand."
Wan Hao looked at his arm; the erosion from the Ghost Hand hadn't improved, it had only temporarily stopped. Everything below the biceps was black and blue!
"No, this strange balance is only maintained when I don't use any Supernatural Power. The Spiritual Power of the Ghost Hand is clearly higher than the Ghost Armor's. Once I use the Ghost Hand's power, it will instantly overwhelm the Ghost Armor... and the Ghost Armor's Deathly silence will cause the excess Spiritual Power to erode my body. I'll still die then."
"And if I use the Ghost Armor's power, it will stimulate the Ghost Hand, and once the Ghost Hand revives, it will suppress the Ghost Armor again."
Thinking this, Wan Hao's brow furrowed deeper. Two unequal Ghosts remained inside him, and he didn't know how long this delicate balance could last.
After all, both Ghosts he controlled were Malevolent Ghosts that had already undergone Revival. Although this meant the Spiritual Power he could wield was much stronger than that of a Ghost Controller who had just gained a Malevolent Ghost,
it also meant he would die much faster than other Ghost Controllers.
"One Ghost cannot Confront the Ghost Hand... I need more Ghosts."
A bold idea surfaced in Wan Hao's mind. He could now sense that using any Spiritual Power would cause an imbalance, leading to his death by Ghost Revival!
And the only thing that could deal with a Ghost was another Ghost.
If one isn't enough, then two!
Wan Hao remembered the Black Mist Ghost from the Arcade that had been Confronting the Ghost Hand!
That was the only Malevolent Ghost capable of forming a Confrontation with the Ghost Hand!
They constantly triggered each other's patterns, but whoever initiated an attack would cause the other to fall into a period of Silence!
Clearly, the Black Mist Ghost's level was equivalent to the Terror Level of the Ghost Hand that Wan Hao could currently access.
Captain Wang, being overconfident, couldn't withstand the Ghost Revival after touching it, and the Ghosts in the Ghost Post Office collapsed after he touched them, but when they got up again, they stopped attacking him.
And just now, when the Ghost Hand suppressed the Ghost Armor, it was instantaneous; the Ghost Armor had no ability to resist at all!
Only the Black Mist Ghost could trade blows evenly with the Ghost Hand!
Wan Hao stood up from the ground, glanced at Xia Xia lying there, and didn't bother with her further, picking up the Corpse Bag that had fallen to the ground.
Looking at Villa No. 4, Wan Hao felt a bit puzzled.
"Is there something in this Villa that can suppress Malevolent Ghosts? Or something else? Otherwise, she wouldn't have desperately run here while undergoing Ghost Revival..."
Wan Hao had some suspicions, and at the same time, he felt a bit excited. While profiting from the dead was immoral, it was truly satisfying!
The items Captain Wang left behind saved Wan Hao a lot of money; one Bullet cost one hundred thousand, and the Corpse Bag in his hand was worth twenty million!
Inheriting such an estate was quite comfortable, and he felt no psychological burden. This place was where Xia Xia had frequented most recently.
Thinking this, Wan Hao took out a large bunch of keys from his Backpack. He had obtained these by using his privileges during this operation; the keys in his hand belonged to the entire Villa area.
After searching for a while, Wan Hao found the key marked '4', inserted it into the lock, turned it gently, and the door opened.
Wan Hao walked in but found nothing unusual. The Villa's decoration looked like a normal Villa; there was nothing to indicate anything different.
"No, she died trying to get here, which means there must be something here!"
Despite finding nothing, Wan Hao didn't believe there was nothing here and continued searching the Villa.
Finally, the meticulous Wan Hao discovered a door beneath the stairs in an area where miscellaneous items were stored!
These miscellaneous items seemed intended to make people overlook the door behind them.
Pushing the clutter aside, Wan Hao stepped forward, grasped the doorknob, and turned it gently.
"This—this is..."
Wan Hao was shocked by the decoration inside the room!
Looking at the dazzling golden room, Wan Hao knew this was a room constructed of Gold!
"Gold can isolate Supernatural Power... building a room out of Gold... she was creating a Safe House!"
Wan Hao realized why Xia Xia had returned here; she intended to lock herself inside the Golden House to avoid causing any Supernatural Events outside.
"As expected of someone from the Ghost Controller organization that partnered with Captain Wang; this sense of responsibility is truly rare!"
Wan Hao couldn't help but admire Xia Xia's spirit, and just then, the unique roar of a sports car sounded again!
Another car had entered the Villa area!
Wan Hao frowned slightly. The area outside was heavily guarded by the Criminal Police. To enter under these circumstances, one must possess either powerful force or powerful authority!
Although he currently controlled two Ghosts, he couldn't use the abilities of either one right now. The purpose of the newcomer would directly affect Wan Hao's safety!
If the person arriving was here to help, knowing about the Supernatural Event, that would be good, but if they were someone else...
The roar of the sports car stopped because its owner had reached the destination—the entrance of this Villa. Wan Hao had already loaded his gun and disengaged the safety.
