Chapter 305: The Substitute Death Begins

Jiang Shan stopped when he heard the voice. He turned around in surprise and looked at the source of the voice.

“Zhang Liqin?”

At this time, Zhang Liqin had a blank expression on her face. She ignored Jiang Yan’s shocked look and stared at Jiang Shan. She said with a hint of calmness in her voice:

“I would like to go.”

Jiang Shan was a little surprised at the appearance of Zhang Liqin. He had originally expected that except for Wang Shanshan, neither Jiang Yan nor Zhang Liqin would die for Yang Jian.

It’s not because Yang Jian’s personality charm is not enough,

It was just because the time they had spent together was too short. Yang Jian had only been a ghost rider for barely half a year, so he had been with Jiang Yan for a little longer, and he had only known Zhang Liqin for less than two months.

In this day and age, two months of getting along and saving a life are not enough to make a person willing to die for others.

Jiang Shan’s eyes fixed, and he looked at Zhang Liqin. After a moment, he said slowly and calmly:
“Your courage is great, but unfortunately, you can’t do it.”

Zhang Liqin didn’t seem to expect this answer. Her pupils shrank and she immediately asked, “Why?”

“Why? Are you really willing to die for Yang Jian? You and she have both been in contact with the supernatural, and do you think it’s as simple as dying for him? In the process of replacing Yang Jian, your consciousness will be eroded and annihilated by the supernatural. This kind of pain is definitely not something you can endure with just words.”

“All I see in your eyes is hesitation after considering the pros and cons. Your death is a small matter, but this opportunity to die in your place is a big deal. If it weren’t for the affection you and Yang Jian have for each other, you wouldn’t be qualified at all.”

Looking at the graceful and charming middle-aged wife in front of him, Jiang Shan showed no mercy and spoke directly.

Perhaps Wang Shanshan was willing to die for Yang Jian because she was Yang Jian’s ghost slave and her life was tied to Yang Jian. Or perhaps she really had an indescribable feeling for Yang Jian, so she was willing to die for Yang Jian.

Whatever the reason, Jiang Shan was not overly worried about her.

But for Zhang Liqin, who had been with Yang Jian for more than a month, he only saw the sadness hidden beneath her emotions in her eyes.

“I”

After hearing what Jiang Shan said, Zhang Liqin fell silent for a moment.

Although she was very grateful to Yang Jian for saving her life during the starving ghost incident, and she did spend a few nights with him, she did not want to die. This choice of certain death was enough to discourage many people.

She is no exception.

But considering Yang Jian’s ability and the fact that she is now helpless, if Yang Jian comes back alive and knows her choice, she will lose her protection.

If she chose to save Yang Jian, according to Jiang Shan, Yang Jian’s life and death would be related to the entire domestic situation, so Zhang Liqin was taking a gamble.

I bet that even if she went, she might not be able to use herself.

As Jiang Shan said, she is not qualified.

However, her little thoughts were now exposed in front of everyone by Jiang Shan. She was already thin-skinned and her brain went blank in an instant. She could not think clearly for a moment.

“I know what you are thinking. I don’t want to say many harsh words. If you don’t go, Yang Jian can’t do anything to you. After all, it is normal to make such a choice. But if you go with an insincere heart, not only will you die, but Yang Jian will die, and many people in the country will die.”

“I’ll give you another chance to choose. Are you still willing to die for Yang Jian?” Jiang Shan said in a cold tone.

“I’m not going.”

Zhang Liqin stood there with her head down and spoke in a very weak voice.

Zhang Liqin’s thoughts were just a small episode. After getting the correct answer, Jiang Shan no longer stayed. As his figure gradually disappeared, the silver light and yellow mist that permeated the entire floor gradually faded away.

“Yang Jian. Is he really going to die? How could such a strong man like him?”

After seeing the lights in the room return to normal, Jiang Yan seemed to faint. She sat down on the sofa, her eyes full of fear and disbelief.

At this time, Zhang Liqin’s face was flushed. She did not continue to stay in the living room, but left the room silently, and no one knew where she went.

In less than twenty minutes, Jiang Shan and Zhou Deng brought Wang Shanshan back to Dajing City.

“I have already told you the details. I will use the ghost’s spiritual power to change your appearance. Then you need to hold hands with Yang Jian. The moment you hold hands, the spiritual power in his body will be transferred to yours.”

Jiang Shan, standing at the door of the haunted house, once again informed Wang Shanshan of the next actions to be taken:
“Although the ghost painting is very scary, due to some external factors, it is only eroding your consciousness in a weird state. This is why I asked you to come here.”

“It is difficult for normal people to endure this kind of erosion. Once you can’t endure it, not only will you die, but Yang Jian will also be eroded more seriously by the evil spirit.”

Wang Shanshan nodded and said in a cold tone:
“I see.”

“Then let’s take action.”

As soon as Jiang Shan finished speaking, he let the deceiving ghost deceive Wang Shanshan’s body and shaped her appearance through supernatural means.

Under Zhou Deng’s astonished gaze, he saw that Wang Shanshan’s pure and cold appearance began to change strangely little by little.

Not only that, her body was no longer cold and stiff, and began to regain its color. She also became healthier and more plump, completely different from her previous gloomy and slightly thin appearance.

“Her face and body are changing towards the state of a living person. Could it be a ghost from the haunted house? No, that’s not right. This ability doesn’t seem to be recorded in the haunted house’s files.”

Zhou Deng was stunned when he saw Wang Shanshan’s strange changes. Although he had come into contact with many evil spirits, this kind of ghost that could modify the body and appearance was the first time he had seen it.

About half a cigarette’s time passed.

Wang Shanshan has completely become another person, with a perfect face and a healthy and energetic body. If we use normal people’s standards, she would be:

This woman should only exist in heaven.

so perfect.

These are the four words that Zhou Deng couldn’t help but think of when he saw it for the first time.

It is true that Gao Zhiqiang did not dare to fully use the power of this ghost, so the reality of the ghost’s influence was limited and could not last long, so it was like being deceived.

However, the supernatural powers of ghosts are not just deception, but can really change reality.

After being controlled by Jiang Shan, the supernatural powers of the deceiving ghost were finally able to be truly explored and used.

Now it should not be called a deceiving ghost. After all, it was previously restricted and could not perfectly influence reality. But now it is different. Now it should be called a wishing ghost.

What the heart desires,
What the world presents.

Looking at Wang Shanshan, who has completely turned into He Yuelian, Jiang Shan’s eyes flickered.

Now he just needs to bring Wang Shanshan into the haunted house and let her become the carrier of the ghost painting. As long as she can successfully control the ghost painting, Yang Jian can use the curse of the ghost bride to replace it. “Don’t be in a daze. Next, stay outside and don’t let any ghosts or people enter the haunted house.”

Before entering the haunted house, Jiang Shan chose to let Zhou Deng stay.

After all, considering Miao Xiaoshan and others who accidentally entered the haunted house through the ghost paintings, it is difficult to ensure whether someone will enter the haunted house from the real world and affect the progress of the plan.

Therefore, it is a guarantee to let Zhou Deng, who controls three ghosts and possesses certain captain capabilities, guard near the haunted house.

As the words fell,

Jiang Shan nodded to Wang Shanshan, and then the two of them walked into the haunted house together.

“Hmm? I’m so hot.”

At the same time,
Zhou Deng suddenly felt his whole body was heating up. He looked down and found that his body was beginning to regain color. At the same time, he became stronger and taller.

In less than a moment, his body underwent tremendous changes.

The originally skinny Zhou Deng became strong and tall, and the lifeless aura on his body disappeared. He changed from a gloomy young man to a masculine young man.

Moreover, all the effects of ghosts on the human body were eliminated by Jiang Shan.

It can be said that Zhou Deng is in the best condition at this time since he became a ghost rider, or even an ordinary person.

“Is this the new spirit that Jiang Shan has mastered? How cool.”

“It’s you who came.”

Yang Jian, who was waiting on the first floor of the haunted house, quickly found Jiang Shan and Wang Shanshan by following the footsteps.

He looked at Wang Shanshan’s face that no longer belonged to her, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. Then he quickly adjusted himself and continued:

“Jiang Shan has already told you, there is a high probability that you will die for me this time.”

“I know. He told me everything. Do you still remember what happened in school? If it weren’t for you, I would have died in school like those classmates.”

“There’s no need to say these words anymore. If I die and you survive, then my parents will be left to you. Alright, let’s get started.”

Wang Shanshan directly interrupted what Yang Jian was about to say next. She seemed very calm about her decision.

Ever since she became an alternative ghost slave of Yang Jian’s Ghost Eye, she has had an inexplicable connection with Yang Jian. It can’t be called a good impression, but it goes beyond feelings and has an incomparable relationship.

After hearing this, Yang Jian fell silent. He glanced at Wang Shanshan for the last time, then slowly said:
“Okay, I promise you.”

As the two held hands together, the strange scene appeared again.

Wang Shanshan’s body, which had become healthy due to the deception of ghosts and spirits, began to lose weight strangely, and her rosy skin began to turn pale, and the scarlet wedding dress was faintly visible on her body.

When the red veil and wedding dress completely turned from illusion into reality, the curse was transferred again, and the ghost painting’s spiritual power filled her body like a flood.

From a distance,

Wang Shanshan is like a rose covered in scarlet, about to bloom, gorgeous yet strange.

But at a certain moment,

sudden changes,

Wang Shanshan, who looked like a bride in red, finally showed some subtle changes after standing still for about ten seconds. She made some painful sounds, as if she was suffering from some kind of painful torture.

At the same time,
Yang Jian, who was holding Wang Shanshan’s hand, his originally slightly illusory figure began to gradually become transparent.

It seemed as if it was about to disappear.

“Ok?”

The sudden change made Yang Jian and Jiang Shan’s eyes freeze, and they looked at each other.

Although he was sure through his eyes that Yang Jian’s current condition was not a big problem, Jiang Shan still didn’t dare to let his guard down. He took out the second packet of Chinese medicine from his pocket, ready to rescue Yang Jian at any time.

He asked for two packets of Chinese medicine from Zhang Bohua in total, and this last packet was Yang Jian’s last life-saving straw.

“It seems that Wang Shanshan and He Yuelian are quite receptive to ghost painting. If we look at how He Yuelian mastered ghost painting in the original novel, we have entered the second stage.”

As Wang Shanshan and Yang Jian’s behavior became more and more strange, Jiang Shan could already be sure that the various behaviors of these two people now meant that the ghost painting was being controlled.

The supernatural power that dissipated from Yang Jian and his body did not really disappear out of thin air, but was transferred to Wang Shanshan through the ghost hand.

This shows that the first phase of supernatural conflict has ended.

Now it is the second stage, and the supernatural begins to merge.

After this fusion, it is possible that Wang Shanshan will replace Yang Jian as the carrier of the ghost painting, and successfully control the ghost painting to become a unique ghost rider. It is also possible that she will suddenly die due to the out-of-control ghost.

All this is unknown.

Jiang Shan has done everything he can to the utmost, and he can now be said to be a true outsider.

Whether the ghost painting can be controlled by Wang Shanshan, or whether Yang Jian will die because of the supernatural resurrection, these have nothing to do with him.

now.

Wang Shanshan’s consciousness has become hazy due to the invasion of ghost paintings and spirits.

And she was barely alive with the help of the ghost eye, so the degree of horror of her consciousness being eroded at this moment was unmatched by anyone.

Now she couldn’t even whimper, and her whole body was like a puppet controlled by the spirit.

Before receiving any instructions, she could only stand there, feeling the passing of her life bit by bit, and watching her memory being eroded bit by bit.

In a trance, a woman in a red wedding dress suddenly appeared in Wang Shanshan’s consciousness. If she looked in the mirror at this time, she would find that the woman looked exactly like her, flawless and incredibly beautiful.

At this moment, this strange woman was walking towards her step by step from a distance, getting closer and closer to her.

“Is it coming? My head hurts, I want to sleep so much, is it because of these memories? Who is she? Is it me? No, it’s not me. I’m Wang Shanshan, I’m here to save Yang Jian.”

Although Wang Shanshan is unable to move now, she can only watch the woman approach her little by little, and the inexplicable memories fill her brain little by little.

But perhaps because of the ghost eye’s magical power,
She still remembers who she is and why she has suffered all this.
