Chapter 1347 - 1314: The City Surging with Crowds



At this moment, Yang Jian was the target of a supernatural attack by Zhang Dong, and all the supernatural powers within his body had fallen silent, leaving his body without the ability to move. Fortunately, Ghost Child appeared at the critical moment.


Countless ghostly images surrounded him. Despite the pervasive cold aura, he felt a trace of security.


The attacks from Ghost Post Office's Luo Wensong and Sexton Luo Qian were successfully thwarted.


Otherwise, he would have died on the spot at this moment.


"For raising you, I've endured up to now, so don't let me down. I don't ask you to eliminate the enemy, just to delay time. As long as the time comes, we can leave this world and be safe," Yang Jian said with difficulty, opening his mouth.


At the same time, his body was being relayed by Ghost Child; pulling, transporting, and gradually moving away from here.


Staying here was now useless and would instead become a flaw for Ghost Child.


After all, if Yang Jian died, then Ghost Child would dissipate along with him.


"Sneaking me away in front of these Republican-era monsters, that is a bit difficult," Yang Jian saw Ghost Child's actions and felt it was not an easy task.


Sexton Luo Qian's Grave Soil had already sealed the surroundings; the endless cemetery there rivaled any Ghost Domain. As soon as Yang Jian appeared, he would be buried.


But he was now just a stiff corpse, unable to do anything, and did not interfere with Ghost Child's actions.


At this moment, he absolutely could not casually command Ghost Child.


Ghost Child, having consumed human skin paper, could almost perfectly predict the future. Its current capabilities definitely surpassed Yang Jian's.


"But I'm looking forward to seeing how many ghosts Ghost Child has devoured in these hours and what terrifying supernatural powers it possesses now. It can appear means it has found a way to survive; if it were a sure-death scenario, it might not have appeared at the last moment,"


Yang Jian thought to himself, feeling both hopeful and expectant.


Ghost Child confrontation with four Republican-era old monsters, plus Old Qin, such a spectacle isn't something you can see all the time, can only occur in this special and bizarre world.


At this moment.


Ghost Child's numbers continued to grow, and its supernatural invasion consumed the city, using the people as a medium to invade from the past to the present. Although it didn't have much time to invade, Yang Jian had managed to secure five minutes and delayed a bit just now.


About six minutes in total.


A buildup of six minutes led to a remarkable scale.


"A single little ghost might be special, but can't form any real threat, just pay attention to Yang Jian, once he dies, it's all over."


With a sinister look on her old face, Meng Xiaodong was right, the attack should be focused on Yang Jian.


"The fact that it blocked the joint attack of two of us means this little ghost is indeed unusual. I smell a familiar scent on him,"


Sexton Luo Qian focused on Ghost Child's somewhat dark skin.


Then Old Qin said, "I can't connect with the future, not sure if our supernatural senses are being blocked, or if our future selves have already failed..."


He spoke about a rather bad outcome.


"Absolutely impossible, Zhang Dong personally intervened, losing is not an option," Meng Xiaodong replied, showing full confidence in Zhang Dong upfront.


"First block his escape route, so he doesn't get away." At this moment, Ghost Post Office's Luo Wensong spoke with a voice like a dead man.


He then took a step forward, cold aura spreading, supernatural terror affecting the surroundings.


The ground started collapsing, forming pits like gates, deep and dark, with no end in sight and unsure where they lead. Meanwhile, the walls on high buildings began to peel and collapse, revealing outlines of doors.


The door outlines arranged neatly, hundreds on a single building.


Beyond this, the influence spread at an incredible speed nearby, in mere seconds, the entire city was perforated, filled with strange "doors," resembling terrifying passages and cages trapping people, unable to escape.


Luo Wensong planned to use the city's doors to seal, eliminating any chance for Yang Jian to escape.


But as he acted, Ghost Child, surrounding Yang Jian in countless numbers, chose to counterattack without hesitation.


All the ghost children turned towards Meng Xiaodong, and then remarkably opened their mouths to call out a name: "Meng Xiaodong!"


The voice was bizarre; in others' ears, it was a ghost's call, but in Meng Xiaodong's ears, it felt like the gentlest call.


"Meng Xiaodong,"


"Meng Xiaodong..."


All the ghost children shouted, the voices layered and intertwined, seemingly echoing throughout the city, chilling those who heard them, as if they would drop dead on the spot.


"This is bad." Old Qin's face changed.


This supernatural attack wasn't strong, and couldn't threaten those at their level, but the countless ghosts shouting Meng Xiaodong's name made the collective sound extremely terrifying.


"Ignore it, it can't kill me," Meng Xiaodong said with a cold face.


Even if she died now, a new self would invade from the past.


However, at this moment, Zhang Dong moved. He walked a few steps to appear next to Meng Xiaodong, merely standing there, instantly silencing the eerie sound; the surrounding seemed muted, and the Ghost Call's supernatural attack lost its effect.


But this situation was limited to Zhang Dong's vicinity; the terrifying supernatural still echoed around.


And as the Ghost Call's voice continued echoing, a shocking scene appeared in the city.


The pit-filled street saw ghost children continually appear out of thin air, quickly filling the streets, and more ghost children appeared inside nearby shops, buildings, windows, as if the entire city was being occupied by them.


"This increase in numbers is unreasonable; even if it stole the Infinite Invasion ability, it should not grow at this speed," Old Qin squinted slightly, his old face becoming grave.


The potential Ghost Child showed was terrifying.


Yet he didn't know that the way Ghost Child can increase its numbers wasn't limited to merely Infinite Invasion but included Hungry Ghost's reproductive method, Ghost Envoy's restart method, and a certain idealistic supernatural power... these combined, needing only five minutes for Ghost Child's numbers to reach an astonishing level.


"Luo Wensong!"


"Luo Qian!"


...


Subsequently, one Ghost Child after another began shouting their names, their voices intertwining with the earlier chant of Meng Xiaodong's name.


Meanwhile, as they shouted, all the Ghost Children formed an endless human tide, surging rapidly forward.


Now, it wasn't Yang Jian who was being surrounded, but these elder monsters from the Republic of China era.


"Knowing full well they can't kill us, they keep attacking us. This little ghost probably wants to wear out the substitute doll in Meng Xiaodong's hand, but these attacks are too slow."


The Sexton, Luo Qian, with his pair of pitch-black eyes, slightly moved. An endless graveyard spread over everything, with Grave Soil submerging the streets, burying all, attempting to swallow the human wave formed by the Ghost Children.


Relying on numbers alone is definitely not enough to take them down.


However, something unexpected happened.


The Grave Soil covered, clearly and smoothly burying the front Ghost Children, but then more Ghost Children broke through the soil barrier, trampling the Grave Soil into a muddy mess, ignoring it completely.


"This is impossible."


The Sexton, Luo Qian, saw that the Grave Soil, which should bury all supernatural things, was ineffective now, and his old face showed a significant amount of astonishment.


The Ghost Children, having consumed the Ghost Envoy, now also possessed the ability to suppress all supernatural powers. With so many Ghost Children gathering together, the suppression they formed was terrifying. Even the Sexton, Luo Qian, could not bury them. Instead, the Ghost Children, surging like a tidal wave, appeared more like an endless graveyard, seemingly about to bury these elder monsters of the Republic.


Old Qin, beside him, also clearly realized something was wrong.


He probably couldn't predict the future, not because he was being interfered with, but because the future already showed that they might have been utterly defeated.


Everywhere was dark and oppressive, and the seemingly weak bodies of the approaching Ghost Children now gave a tremendous sense of despair.


This kind of supernatural occurrence even surpassed what they were capable of handling.


"Can't stop it, Luo Wensong, send them away," Luo Qian's voice was hoarse, as he continued to take action.


Though the Grave Soil was insufficient to bury all the Ghost Children, it still had some effect; the number of Ghost Children getting closer diminished. But this reduction compared to the increase seemed like a drop in the ocean; he buried dozens of Ghost Children one moment, only for hundreds to surge forward the next.


In this kind of supernatural confrontation, he found himself at a disadvantage.


Before Luo Qian could call for help, the Ghost Post Office manager, Luo Wensong, also took action.


At this moment, all the eerie gates of the entire city opened, with countless deadly supernatural forces overlapping; even a vengeful ghost would crash on the spot.


Sure enough, it had an effect.


A large number of Ghost Children in the surging crowd suddenly froze in place, motionless, and the gates on the ground, like deep pits, also swallowed Ghost Children.


Any Ghost Child that fell through would immediately disappear without a trace.


However, even so, a large number of Ghost Children continued to surge nearby; together, they could only block a small part, and the number of Ghost Children still remained unmanageable.


Because Ghost Children are not ordinary ghosts—each exudes an extremely terrifying supernaturality. If they were the ghosts spawned from ordinary supernatural events, then the Sexton, Luo Qian, alone could bury the ghosts of the entire city, and such an unmanageable situation would never occur.


"Do not underestimate them; these aren't ordinary little ghosts. One mistake, and we could all die here," Zhang Dong spoke at this moment, his voice cold yet authoritative.


With his keen insight, he grasped the dreadfulness of the Ghost Children and simultaneously eradicated all nearby supernatural phenomena.


Once he took action,


Large swathes of Ghost Children fell, some vanishing entirely. The originally chaotic situation was instantly stabilized, and should this purging continue, the city's Ghost Children might truly be wiped out.


However, when things seemed to improve, the unexpected happened.


The Ghost Post Office manager, Luo Wensong, who was taking action, suddenly became rigid, ceased his supernatural attacks, and fell silent this moment.


He died.


For no reason, just like that, he suddenly died.


What happened?


Beside him, Luo Qian was focused on his actions and did not notice what had transpired.


Old Qin, leaning on his cane, walked over, and some kind of supernatural reversal occurred before his eyes.


Unexpectedly, the once-dead Luo Wensong opened his eyes again and regained consciousness. He immediately said, "This little ghost carries a life-shortening curse. While confronting it, our lifespan unconsciously diminishes; it has found a way to restrain us..."


"I see, no wonder you suddenly died before," Luo Qian understood.


"Then follow me."


Zhang Dong spoke at this moment, forcefully opening a path, charging towards Yang Jian.


The others quickly understood: their lifespans were short, and even though they could be brought back through restarts, if this continues, they would be the ones to die.


Under such circumstances, they must kill Yang Jian as soon as possible.


And the Ghost Children also sensed the situation.


More and more emerged from every corner of the city, chanting their names, attacking them.


But Zhang Dong, at the forefront, was too terrifying, eradicating all supernatural phenomena, blocking the Ghost Children's attacks by sheer force.


Had it not been for him, the Ghost Children would have dispatched these elderly Republic-era figures moments ago.
