Yang Jian changed the topography to keep the Ghost Lake near Zhongzhou City to prevent the spread of supernatural powers.
Although there is an effect, it is not as good as imagined. The water in the Ghost Lake is not water in the simple sense. It is a supernatural product. Once it mixes into rivers, it can pollute the water area. If you want to take it back, you can't use ordinary means, you have to use supernatural means.
Ah Hong disguised herself as Wei Jing and used the power of the ghost to make the lake water flow backwards.
Yang Jian even used the part of the supernatural power he had stolen from Ghost Lake to restrict the spread of Ghost Lake.
Only then did the results begin to show.
However, as a price, the supernatural power controlled by Yang Jian has spread out, entered various waters, and polluted many places.
There is no way around it.
If he doesn't do this, Ghost Lake will get out of control.
So instead of letting the supernatural power of Ghost Lake spread, it would be better for Yang Jian to spread it first and block the Ghost Lake.
"Such a large-scale change in the terrain affects reality, which has a huge impact on me, not to mention that I have used a restart and a six-level ghost domain before." Yang Jian felt the skin on his forehead twitching at this moment.
An uncontrolled abnormality appeared in the Ghost Eye.
The Ghost Eye, which was dangerous in itself, showed no signs of revival only because of the suppression of the Ghost Shadow and the Ghost Hand, which allowed him to open the ghost realm to the seventh level, allowing him to restart himself.
But even so, it cannot withstand such long-term and large-scale use.
Ghosts are ghosts after all, and they are uncontrollable beings.
But now is not the time to stop.
Yang Jian had a blank expression on his face. He stood high in the sky, still observing every move of the ghost street around him. He did not stop and was still changing the terrain and sorting out the river channels.
The Ghost Lake is rising steadily at this moment, but correspondingly, its scope has expanded and started to submerge Zhongzhou City and Taiping Ancient Town.
Yang Jian did not want to move Zhongzhou City. The city had been seriously invaded by the supernatural, and no one dared to live there. Who knew if it would be haunted in the future? So he decided to go all out and sink Zhongzhou City into the lake.
Taiping Ancient Town is very special. There is a ghost street in the ancient town, and there are also some secrets about the past.
But Yang Jian had no way to move the ancient town, so he could only leave it alone. Whether it would be flooded or sunk into the lake depended on what happened next.
This operation to block the spread of Ghost Lake lasted for nearly half an hour.
Ah Hong was the first to give up.
She climbed out of the river, her whole body wet, her makeup completely destroyed, revealing a horrible face. The skin on her face was rotten and incomplete, and it was soaked in the lake water and was completely bloodless. At first glance, it looked like the face of a dead person that had been eaten, which was frightening.
This is a side effect of ghost makeup.
The more times she puts on makeup, the more it erodes herself. Her own face has long been rotting. The reason why nothing unusual looks normal is because she puts on makeup again on the rotten areas to make it look like her before.
But now.
Ah Hong has reached her limit, her makeup is all ruined, and only now is her true appearance revealed.
"Yang Jian, I can only help you up to this point."
She covered her face with her hands and moaned in pain on the ground, enduring the agony of her entire face rotting.
"That's enough. You should have a good rest." Yang Jian nodded to show his affirmation of her.
His ghost eyes were also moving restlessly.
The situation is also deteriorating.
But he didn't say a word more, because he was the only one who could do all this now. No one else could control this ghost lake. Even if other captains used the ghost domain, they could not completely block the ghost lake like Yang Jian did.
Yang Jian, who stole some of the supernatural power of Ghost Lake, now has to shoulder the corresponding mission.
"Ah Hong's condition is a little bit abnormal." Cao Yang took a glance and saw Ah Hong's miserable appearance, and couldn't help but said in his heart.
But there was nothing he could do.
The invasion of supernatural beings and the resurrection of evil spirits have always been the nightmare of ghost hunters.
"But this still doesn't solve the supernatural incident. Although the Ghost Lake has stopped the spread, it hasn't solved it. The evil ghosts are still there, and the evil ghosts immersed in the Ghost Lake are also trying to escape."
Cao Yang now understood his current situation very well.
It's definitely very bad.
I can only say that I'm not completely desperate yet.
Forty-five minutes later.
Yang Jian felt that he had reached his limit. He could no longer use his supernatural powers so recklessly. The ghost domain covering a hundred kilometers was being retracted and the terrain was no longer changing significantly. However, his achievements during this period had already been evident. The rest would have to be left to time to resolve.
Slowly descending from the sky.
Yang Jian and everyone appeared on the roof of a high-rise building in Zhongzhou City.
The Ghost Lake has spread, and Zhongzhou City has been completely flooded. The water has already reached the height of a ten-story building and is still rising.
"Yang Jian, has the Ghost Lake been successfully sealed?"
Feng Quan had been watching all this on the rooftop and asked hurriedly.
"No, although the Ghost Lake has not spread, it is doomed to get out of control. In the next period of time, evil spirits will gradually come out of the Ghost Lake. Those are evil spirits that the Ghost Lake cannot contain. They will be very terrifying, but let's ignore them for now." Yang Jian said: "How is Ah Hong?"
"The spirit has invaded her body, and her face is almost completely rotten. But she won't die for the time being. But after this incident, I'm afraid she won't be able to go on missions anymore."
Cao Yang squatted beside Ah Hong and checked her, and he frowned.
Ah Hong lost one eye and her eyebrows were gone, all eroded by the remaining ghost makeup pigment.
"It's good to be alive." Yang Jian took a look and said expressionlessly.
"I have to go down to Ghost Lake now to salvage Li Jun and Liu San. We can't let these two people sink to the bottom of the lake without any care, and they are not dead yet."
Cao Yang was stunned for a moment: "This is too risky. The evil spirits in the Ghost Lake are still there, and the Ghost Lake is still out of control. If you encounter danger, you will die in it."
He didn't agree with Yang Jian doing this.
"If Li Jun and Liu San are not rescued, we will not be able to deal with what happens next. We are short of manpower."
Yang Jian said in a deep voice: "Besides dealing with Ghost Lake, we also have to worry about those enemies."
He inadvertently glanced at the three people on the black boat in the distance.
Although the vicious dog suddenly appeared and bit one of them to death, the remaining three people are still the most threatening and we cannot be careless.
"It's settled. Feng Quan, Cao Yang, the two of you stay with Ah Hong and keep an eye on the other party."
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he slowly took out an iron ring from his pocket.
Although this ring is made of iron, it looks like it was made from pale human bones.
This is a supernatural item that Yang Jian made before coming to Ghost Lake. He named it Ghost Ring.
Once you put it on, you will never be discovered as long as there are three people around you.
However, this is only true for humans. Yang Jian is not sure whether it will work for ghosts.
But it is better to have something than nothing, even if it can have a little effect.
As soon as the ring is put on.
Yang Jian was clearly still standing there, but in the eyes of Feng Quan and Cao Yang, he seemed to have disappeared, as if he no longer existed.
Without saying a word.
He jumped down and fell directly into the Ghost Lake from the tall building.
“Plop!”
There was a huge sound of someone falling into the water.
Although no one was seen, the huge noise was enough to explain everything.
Boss Liu on the black boat was a little confused when he saw this, but then he understood: "That young man ran into the Ghost Lake again. This time he was probably trying to fish out the person who sank to the bottom of the lake. They don't have enough manpower, and the ghosts in the Ghost Lake are escaping. Once a few powerful ghosts come out, it will be difficult for them to deal with them, so now he is organizing the team and strengthening their strength."
"Taiping Ancient Town is already flooded. This may be the last chance."
The one-eyed old man's condition has recovered a lot at this moment, and the wound on his neck has almost healed.
However, the dismembered spirit inside the body did not recover so quickly.
Seeing Yang Jian take the initiative to enter the Ghost Lake, he began to hesitate again.
Boss Liu said, "The rules can't be broken again and again. He managed the Ghost Lake and reversed the situation, which means that what the old man said before was right. I can understand that you want to save Taiping Town. To be honest, I want to, too, but what happened has happened. We are already old and don't have many years left to live. We should just disappear quietly and shouldn't block the way for the young."
"If you really want to do it, I will stop you."
The one-eyed old man stared at him and said, "You are no match for me."
But just as he finished his words, the faceless man who had been silent turned around, stretched out his hand, and stood in front of the one-eyed old man. His attitude was self-evident.
Boss Liu smiled and said, "You see, he doesn't agree either."
"That's all."
The one-eyed old man looked at the ancient town that was gradually being submerged in the distance, his eyes a little dazed.
The place I have guarded for my entire life has become an obsession.
He was going to be swallowed by the Ghost Lake today. This was something he could not accept. Not to mention Yang Jian, even if the Jade Emperor came, he would fight to the death.
The outside world has nothing to do with him, but he just wants to protect his own piece of land.
But this era no longer has room for him.
Even the two remaining residents of the ancient town turned against him.
After a long silence.
The one-eyed old man bent down and picked up the small paper boat, then took out a match from his arms. The match seemed special and it lit up with just a slight stroke of his finger.
The paper boat was burning and thick smoke was rising.
He stretched out his hand and threw the paper boat into the air far away.
The smoke was so thick that it was scary.
The paper boat quickly burned up, and then a huge wooden boat emerged from the thick smoke, as if a spirit was released and an illusion came true. Finally, the huge wooden boat crashed onto the lake with a bang, splashing waves.
"The young men don't know how to use the paper boats, so I might as well give them a hand. I hope the situation in Ghost Lake can get better." said the one-eyed old man.
After doing this, he squatted down, looked at the body of the washerwoman silently, and threw the match that had not yet burned out on it.
The cold, damp corpse was ignited in an instant, and a raging fire broke out.
"Hehe, why are you burning the body here?" Boss Liu waved his hand with his fingers slightly spread out.
On the small wooden boat, the distance was changed. The boat was only a few meters long, but he pulled it into several hundred meters long. Although the corpse was burning, it did not interfere with them, nor did it burn itself.
The body of the washerwoman gradually turned black in the flames, and her clothes quickly turned to ashes. At the same time, shrill screams were heard from the flames.
Each piece of clothing seemed to harbor an evil spirit, making people feel creepy.
But this fire is very strange. It can burn ghosts and is even more terrifying than the ghost fire controlled by Li Jun.
Or maybe this fire has a deep connection with the will-o'-the-wisp.
But none of this matters right now.
After the body of the laundry woman and the strange clothes on her body were burned, the flames gradually dissipated and the thick smoke quickly disappeared.
In the ashes, the one-eyed old man reached out and touched.
There is one last piece of clothing left.
This piece of clothing can no longer be burned. There are strange human faces, twisted bodies, and charred torso marks on it, as if there are many evil spirits living on it, and it is extremely dangerous.
"This is the last piece of clothing sewn in Taiping Town. It is also the best work, better than that shroud." The one-eyed old man shook off the ashes on it and looked at this masterpiece, with some reminiscence in his eyes.
The Taiping Town tailor shop is closed today.
Boss Liu whispered, "What are your plans for this dress?"
"Of course it should be reserved for the people of Taiping Town and cannot be given to outsiders." said the one-eyed old man.
"There is no one left in Taiping Town, and the remaining one also died in the lake." said Boss Liu.
The one-eyed old man said, "Then find a way to pull her out of the lake. If our old generation dies, so be it. But the young generation can't all die out. We have to leave at least one person behind."
"What do you have in mind?" Boss Liu asked.
The one-eyed old man didn't say anything. He held the clothes in his hand and looked at the not-so-calm and gloomy lake surface in silence.
now.
Yang Jian had already sunk into the Ghost Lake. His ghost eyes peered into the cold and dark water, taking in everything around him.
Although the Ghost Lake is scary, it has no effect on him, a man who has stolen some of its spiritual power.
As long as Ghost Lake does not take back that part of the puzzle, Yang Jian will have the ability to move in Ghost Lake.
But the action is also very dangerous.
Only a moment passed.
Yang Jian felt that the water flow around him was changing. He vaguely saw a strange figure wandering around. This figure was a little difficult to capture because it was a fierce ghost. A fierce ghost formed entirely by lake water, sometimes condensing and sometimes dissipating, merging into one with the lake water.
"The ghost is looking for me."
Yang Jian touched the ghost ring in his hand.
Apparently, this magical item worked.
The ghosts in the Ghost Lake knew they were here, but they couldn't locate their exact location.
This is because there are other corpses nearby. Those corpses are not ordinary people's corpses, but also evil spirits. However, they are now suppressed by the Ghost Lake and there is no movement.
"Sure enough, ghosts are also counted as people. However, if we count ghosts as a person, the interference will not be as effective as we imagined." Yang Jian did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.
Wet black hair swayed just beside the ears, behind the head, and on top of the head.
The ghost is right beside me, searching for me.
Once found, Yang Jian will be attacked.
