Chapter 306: Cicada Dies and Butterflies Reborn
The pain of having consciousness annihilated is even more devastating than being cut into pieces. The constant intense pain in the brain, the mental trance, and the confusion of memory are enough to easily destroy anyone with a weak mind.

At this time, Wang Shanshan, who was enduring the spiritual invasion, and the woman in the painting were facing each other.

They looked exactly the same, looking at each other like people in a mirror.

“I can’t fall asleep. Once I close my eyes, I will be greeted by death. Yang Jian will also die. No matter what, I can’t close my eyes and escape.”

Wang Shanshan, who had lost her perception of the outside world, kept repeating this sentence in her heart.

Even though she could no longer remember her identity due to the invasion of memories that did not belong to her, she still remembered this one thing in her heart:

Alive.

Time passes slowly every second.

The ninth minute after Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan held hands.

“Who am I? Who is she? Why am I wearing a wedding dress? Is someone coming to marry me?”

“I’m in so much pain. Why is she standing opposite me? I seem to remember that she is a ghost. It is because of her that I am about to die.”

Although Wang Shanshan didn’t know what to do in this situation, and the long-term pain had made her mentally confused, she knew what she had to do when she was briefly lucid.

Otherwise, if she continued to endure this, she would surely die.

So she began to try to touch the ghost in her consciousness. This was the best method that emerged involuntarily from her subconscious mind. Perhaps it was her luck, or perhaps it was because of the hint from the original owner of the ghost painting.

unknowingly,

Wang Shanshan suddenly regained consciousness and found herself in front of the woman. She reached out to grab the woman without hesitation.

However, at the moment of touching the evil spirit in front of him.

The puzzle pieces of the evil spirits that she had once controlled were put together, and the supernatural powers also reached a balance at this moment. The chaotic memories that filled Wang Shanshan’s mind suddenly became orderly.

at this moment,
Wang Shanshan saw that the woman in front of her actually smiled.

Relieved,

kind.

“This is all the help I can give you. You have to walk the rest of the way on your own. I know that you are not my present life.”

“But I’m already dead. It’s too greedy to come back to life. You’re also a pitiful person. Live well with my spirit. Don’t do evil. Don’t.”

The woman hadn’t finished her words yet. She, who only appeared in Wang Shanshan’s consciousness, immediately began to break and wither like fragile porcelain.

At this time, Wang Shanshan had regained consciousness. She could clearly feel that the memories in her mind had disappeared just like the woman’s.

The reason why Zhang Xianguang spent decades to create He Yuelian is because she carries the same supernatural power as the previous master of the ghost painting.

To use a phrase from a fantasy novel, she bears the karma of that woman.

So in the original novel, when He Yuelian was controlling the ghost painting, the woman would say to her: “I am your previous life, and you are my present life.”

However, Wang Shanshan, whose appearance was modified through supernatural means, is not the woman in this life. This means that if Wang Shanshan controls the ghost painting, the woman will die completely.

Whether it is from a realistic or a spiritual perspective.

There will be no trace of her in the world anymore, she has no resurrection and no present life.

Perhaps it was because she no longer had the obsession to live, or perhaps she had already let it go after a long and painful period of time. Even though she knew she would die completely, she still chose to hand over the supernatural power of the ghost painting to Wang Shanshan.

Not only that,

As a ghost rider all her life, she certainly knew the pain of being a ghost rider. She did not let her memory merge with Wang Shanshan’s consciousness, but chose to dissipate.

She wanted Wang Shanshan to live freely and without pain.

That’s it.

“Hmm? Wang Shanshan succeeded in controlling it?”

Jiang Shan, who was observing the situation, narrowed his eyes. His gaze was always on Wang Shanshan, as if he wanted to discover something from some details.

Yang Jian, who was holding Wang Shanshan’s hand, had completely disappeared at this moment, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, without leaving any trace.

Wang Shanshan’s hands became exceptionally white, and the aura from her body became cold and strange. At the same time, the sound of her painful struggle disappeared.

Jiang Shan frowned when he saw this scene. Wang Shanshan’s current situation is exactly the same as the state of He Yuelian who successfully controlled the ghost painting in the original book, with almost no major differences.

But the only thing he was unsure about was how Yang Jian could disappear without any trace.

You know, he still has ghost eyes, ghost shadows and ghost hands on his body. Even if his body is eroded by the spirits and disappears, the ghost will not.

But at this moment, what Jiang Shan faced was this horrifying situation.

Yang Jian disappeared, and the ghost in him also disappeared.

So where did they go?

Almost four hours had passed since Yang Jian disappeared. Just as Jiang Shan was still waiting, something strange happened.

“Here it comes! Is Yang Jian going to be resurrected from Wang Shanshan’s body?”

Wang Shanshan, who originally had a bloody complexion, looked as if she had died suddenly. A strange gray-white color swept over her body, and even the gorgeous scarlet ghost wedding dress was eclipsed in an instant.

Then her figure and appearance changed. Her increasingly tall body and increasingly masculine face made Jiang Shan frown.

At the beginning, Zhang Xianguang told Jiang Shan that he needed to rely on some kind of supernatural power to steal He Yuelian’s body.

However, Jiang Shan had no idea how Yang Jian was resurrected. Even Yang Jian, the person involved, only had a vague understanding of the situation.

That’s why the current abnormality occurred, and Jiang Shan didn’t know how far he had mastered the ghost painting.

But through the various strange changes in Wang Shanshan’s body, he can at least judge that Yang Jian is using Wang Shanshan’s body to resurrect, and that is the case for now.

As Jiang Shan continued to observe, he suddenly noticed.

I don’t know when,

A scarlet eye grew on Wang Shanshan’s arm, and then another ghost eye tore through the skin and appeared on the back of Wang Shanshan’s hand.

The two ghost eyes are turning strangely at this moment.

With the appearance of Ghost Eye Jiang Shan, it can be confirmed that Yang Jian is now replacing Wang Shanshan and coming back to life in a state that no one can understand.

“Ding, ding, ding.”

Suddenly, a clear, ethereal sound echoed around.

This sound is like a child with a beautiful voice singing next to you, and when you first hear the individual notes you will find it very pleasant and beautiful.

But when these notes are combined to form a piece of music, it gives people an indescribable sense of weirdness, emptiness, despair and horror. “Hmm? Is it the curse of the music box?”

Jiang Shan was a little surprised when he heard the ringtone, but he quickly thought of the original book, when Yang Jian was attacked and killed by Fang Shiming and he opened the music box.

The cursed and supernatural ringing sound in the music box once rang in reality.

It seems that the music coming out of the music box is real, and Yang Jian’s body cannot serve as the carrier of this curse, so this sound is emitted outward.

“Has Yang Jian become an alien now, or has he died? Like the original driver of the ghost painting, has he become a memory?”

All these anomalies made Jiang Shan wonder about Yang Jian’s current condition.

After all, if it was only He Yuelian or Wang Shanshan who was mastering the ghost painting, he would not be so curious, because they were both ordinary people without any supernatural powers in a sense.

Achieving a balance between the ghost painting and the ghost bride’s supernatural powers means that there is a possibility of being controlled.

But Yang Jian is different, he has three ghosts on his body: ghost eyes, ghost shadow and ghost hand. You must know that any supernatural power between the ghost painting and the ghost bride will cause him to lose balance, and then revive and explode.

Not to mention Yang Jian, who controls three ghosts.

This kind of complex and terrifying supernatural changes are exactly what Jiang Shan is concerned about.

He was now staring closely at the increasingly horrifying changes in Wang Shanshan’s body. As her body became more and more strange, a cold aura began to emanate from her body.

The chill seemed to freeze the air around them.

“This is.” Jiang Shan knew that they had reached the most critical place for Yang Jian’s resurrection. He immediately moved away from Wang Shanshan, holding the Chinese medicine in his hand, ready to be ready at any time.

He speculated that if Yang Jian did not resurrect from Wang Shanshan’s body, then he was most likely dead.

But Wang Shanshan probably won’t.

Because she had previously successfully controlled the ghost painting, ghost wedding dress, and ghost veil, she was the subject, and Yang Jian was the conscious invader.

Even if Yang Jian died, her consciousness might still remain.

Therefore, if the resurrection fails, as long as this Chinese medicine that can suppress the balance of evil spirits can be fed to Wang Shanshan at the right time, she may still have a chance to survive.

After all, for Jiang Shan,

It doesn’t matter who lives or dies. He only asks that there is one person who can survive and control the ghost painting. That’s enough.

While thinking, Wang Shanshan’s body twisted, and at some point her body instantly regained its previous color, as if a gray and white portrait was repainted and colored.

suddenly,

Wang Shanshan suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were extremely empty, yet they vaguely revealed Yang Jian’s sharpness.

A low roar came from her throat, as if two consciousnesses were fighting for control of her body, and her body began to tremble violently.

Then,

Strands of black shadows began to appear on Wang Shanshan’s skin, like ink spreading on rice paper.

These dark shadows gradually gathered together, outlining the contours of Yang Jian’s face, like an evil sketch coming to life.

Jiang Shan stared at Wang Shanshan’s changes intently, not daring to miss a single detail. He could feel an extremely terrifying and chaotic spiritual force spreading and changing in this small space.

“Click”

As an indescribable sound suddenly rang out, the ghost eye on Wang Shanshan’s arm suddenly swelled, the skin in the eye sockets cracked, and blood gushed out, but was instantly sucked back by an invisible force.

The ghost’s eyes spun wildly, and a dark red color covered the entire room in the blink of an eye.

“Paper ash? This ghost domain can actually invade the ghost domain of the haunted house. It seems that the ghost domain of the ghost eye and the ghost domain of the ghost painting have merged, and then some kind of mutation has occurred. In the past, neither of the two ghost domains could spread in the ghost domain of the haunted house, but now…”

“So, if nothing unexpected happens, Yang Jian should be resurrected.”

Looking at the dark red that enveloped his surroundings, Jiang Shan twisted the dark red paper ash in his hand that looked like an eye, and had already made a judgment in his heart.

However, less than ten seconds passed.

In the many ghost eyes of Wang Shanshan, Yang Jian’s illusory figure became more and more solid, as if it had been squeezed out from a sea of ​​blood.

At this moment, the strange ringing sound of the music box became more and more rapid, and the notes were like dense raindrops, making people panic.

Jiang Shan realized that the ringing sound seemed to be a catalyst for Yang Jian’s resurrection, or a balancing factor.

With every ring, Yang Jian’s figure became more stable, and Wang Shanshan’s vitality also disappeared a little. The two seemed to be tied at the two ends of the scale of fate, one gaining while the other losing.

As time passed slowly, Yang Jian’s body gradually overlapped with Wang Shanshan, and all traces of Yang Jian began to appear.

One of Wang Shanshan’s hands suddenly turned pale; her shadow was no longer petite, but replaced by a tall black shadow without a head; ghost eyes on the back of her hand and arm moved restlessly.

After a while.

The replacement and fusion of consciousness has completely ended.

At this moment in the dark red ghost domain, Wang Shanshan, who had completely turned into Yang Jian, slowly opened her eyes.

He (she) survived and regained consciousness.

But he was a little different from before. Yang Jian’s control was not like Zhang Xianguang’s, who used supernatural powers to annihilate He Yuelian’s consciousness and then take over her place.

As an invader, Yang Jian can only replace Wang Shanshan’s memories after she allows him to invade. However, because of this, their memories are inevitably merged.

Even though Yang Jian’s memory dominated, he was still affected to a certain extent, which caused him to undergo many changes, both in consciousness and physical changes.

But after waking up, Yang Jian did not take any action. He was thinking and adapting to the new supernatural power.

“Are you Yang Jian or Wang Shanshan?”

After a while, Jiang Shan looked at Yang Jian, who looked like a dead man with no emotion on his face, and suddenly asked.

“Yang Jian, Wang Shanshan is dead.” Yang Jian seemed to be still immersed in the fusion of memories, and replied calmly.

Jiang Shan said: “Don’t waste time. If you have any problems, go back and deal with them. The most urgent task now is to take back the ghost domain first.”

“No, I need to leave the haunted house to do that.” Yang Jian came back to his senses and his eyes returned to their usual coldness. He looked at Jiang Shan, shook his head and said.

Even though he had survived a near-death experience and mastered extremely terrifying supernatural powers, he was a natural ghost handler and soon had a concrete understanding of his own supernatural powers.

Even if he can use the ghost domain to counter-invade the haunted house now, he cannot do it even if he controls six ghosts without the medium with reality.

This,

This is one of the reasons why Jiang Shan coveted the haunted house.
