The woman behind him sighed and then fell silent.
But Jiang Qiao was certain that the thing was still on his back.
As for the female ghost on the bus.
Without using "double pupils," she seems invisible.
This is different from when we first met. Before, even Ah Qiang and the others could see her.
I don't know what changes occurred in between.
So now the entire carriage is empty, and all the bloody scenes have returned to their old and dirty state as the double pupils have closed.
However, Jiang Qiao still remembered the locations of a few oddly shaped seats, least he suffered anal irritation after getting on the bus.
"Okay, it's alright now."
He beckoned Ah Zhen over.
The fog around us has completely dissipated, and the lights on the bus have been turned back on.
The light could ward off supernatural influences. Standing at the door, Jiang Qiao felt a clear barrier, and the yin energy outside could not enter the carriage at all.
"If all goes well, the car will be restarted soon."
Damn it, what bad luck.
"I've encountered all sorts of ridiculous things along the way."
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but complain.
Ah Zhen didn't dare to respond and could only stand weakly to the side, watching Jiang Qiao spew profanities.
"Are you still alive?"
Just then, a surprised voice suddenly came from not far away.
Jiang Qiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw the middle-aged man with whom he had a conflict walking towards him.
However, his clothes were tattered and he had some injuries on his body, so it seemed that he had not had an easy time while away from the bus.
Besides.
Behind the man were two young men.
"They actually survived?"
Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment, but soon a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Tao Jun?"
"Zhang Ruilin?"
Ah Zhen exclaimed in surprise.
She never expected that her two companions would survive.
"Ah Zhen, are you alright? We saw you weren't following after we got off the bus, and we were about to get back on to look for you."
Zhang Ruilin began to speak.
"I was too slow to get off the bus and encountered a ghost. It was Brother Jiang who saved me."
Ah Zhen glanced at Jiang Qiao, who stood expressionless beside her.
"I see."
"Have you seen A-Qiang and Aunt Yang? We got separated from them not long after we got off the bus."
The fog is really thick.
Tao Jun looked around, seemingly searching for A-Qiang.
"Ah Qiang... is dead."
"He got stuck in a strange street, and when I saw him, all that was left was his head."
Ah Zhen said, her expression somewhat somber.
Regardless, he and A-Qiang came from the same village, and they were teammates when they were both weak.
But later, Ah-Qiang left the village and embarked on an adventure.
She relied on her talent to become a sought-after figure by various teams.
"We saw that street too, it really was terrifying. I never expected Ah Qiang to get caught up in it, I guess he was just unlucky."
"So what if he's dead? Don't be sad."
"After all, no one could have predicted that such a terrifying paranormal event would occur."
"Don't worry, we will continue to protect you. You can just follow us from now on."
Zhang Ruilin said calmly.
His tone suggested he wasn't particularly concerned about A-Qiang's death.
This made Ah Zhen frown slightly.
Although people in the supernatural world are emotionally detached, detachment and cold-bloodedness are two different things.
She was somewhat unaccustomed to Zhang Ruilin's attitude.
After all, awakened beings are not evolved beings.
So her tone also turned cold:
"No need, I don't plan to join the exploration team again after I go back, it's too dangerous."
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Ruilin shook his head after hearing Ah Zhen's words.
"You can't quit."
"We just received a mission from Mr. Liu. You have the ability to see the shadows, which will be of great help to us, so you must participate."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man next to him.
The man surnamed Liu smiled:
"Little girl, I heard you can see hidden ghosts, that's great."
"I'm going somewhere and would like to invite you to come with me. I hope you won't refuse."
"I am very sincere."
As he spoke, he took out a coin.
The coin looks rusty, with pits and chips all over its round surface, indicating severe damage.
"If you're willing to help me, this ghost money is yours."
After saying that, he smelled the coin and showed a look of rapture.
8ЬОоk. COM
"Yes, Mr. Liu is very powerful. We were able to survive thanks to his help. So there won't be any danger on this trip."
Tao Jun chimed in.
"Pfft."
Jiang Qiao, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation and then looked at the coins in the middle-aged man's hand, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
If I'm not mistaken, the raw material for this scrap metal is a first-tier vengeful ghost, right?
This man actually treated her like a treasure.
"why are you laughing."
The man's face immediately turned cold.
"I haven't settled the score with you for what happened on the bus. There's no bus driver to mediate for you now."
His gaze was cold and menacing, like that of a venomous snake staring at Jiang Qiao.
"Heh, I wonder which idiot is too cowardly to make a move."
"Without a driver to mediate, your ashes would have grown grass by now."
Jiang Qiao cursed without any politeness.
He encountered a whole bunch of ghosts along the way, and had just almost suffered a loss, so he was still seething with anger.
"What?"
"Do you really intend to kill me?"
"Ignorance is bliss!"
The man gave a cold laugh.
"What I'm worried about is buses, because if I make a move on one, the driver will kick me out."
You think I'm afraid of you?
"You dare to challenge me?"
His tone was laced with disdain and mockery.
Clearly, he didn't take Jiang Qiao seriously at all.
Zhang Ruilin and Tao Jun, who were standing beside him, also spoke up at this moment:
"Ah Zhen, come here right now!"
"Mr. Liu is already angry. Are you trying to die by standing there?"
The middle-aged man also looked at Ah Zhen with a sinister gaze:
"Young lady, if you stand next to a dead person, you're more likely to become a dead person yourself."
"The bus is about to leave. Do you think I'm going to let him on?"
"Would you like to stay here with him then?"
"Get over here!"
The man shouted.
Suddenly, Ah Zhen felt a strange, eerie wind rush towards her, mixed with a strong stench of corpses.
Although the middle-aged man did not make any move, in her eyes he seemed to have become a mountain hanging over her head!
A sense of mental oppression and suffocation made it hard for her to breathe.
This is clearly a paranormal attack!
"I..."
Ah Zhen gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling. Under such pressure, it seemed as if she would kneel down at any moment.
"hehe."
The middle-aged man looked resolute, as if Ah Zhen was already trapped.
Throughout the entire process, he paid no attention to the river bridge beside him, as if he didn't exist.
She saw the three people opposite her looking like they had her cornered.
A determined look appeared on Ah Zhen's face. With all her might, she shoved herself towards the side of the river bridge.
"I'll go with Brother Jiang!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the three people opposite her.
"What?"
"You dare!"
Tao Jun and Zhang Ruilin seemed somewhat incredulous that this woman, who had appeared rather weak throughout the journey, dared to refuse!
His face immediately turned ugly.
"Um?"
The middle-aged man also showed anger; he laughed, a cold laugh:
"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty shot."
As soon as she finished speaking, a terrifying gust of wind suddenly blew in from all directions, rushing towards Ah Zhen.

As soon as she finished speaking, a terrifying gust of wind suddenly blew in from all directions, rushing towards Ah Zhen.
moment.
A surge of deathly intent enveloped Ah Zhen's heart.
She felt like she was caught in a category 18 typhoon, about to be shattered to pieces at any moment.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
She turned her head with difficulty, looked at the river bridge beside her, and her face showed fear.
However, what she saw was Jiang Qiao's smile.
You're very good.
Jiang Qiao nodded, then suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of her.
In an instant.
All the eerie winds around them vanished.
The supernatural attack from the middle-aged man was actually dispelled by him!
"This place has beautiful scenery; it's a place with excellent feng shui."
Jiang Qiao stood with his hands behind his back and said gently:
"Old man, I see you're not young anymore, so you should set off right here."

"It looks like it has some strength."
"But not many."
A ferocious look appeared on the middle-aged man's dark face.
"Originally, I just wanted to leave you here and give you a way to live."
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
He took a small step forward.
However, this small step produced several heavy sounds, as if several people were stepping in the same spot.
Then, one after another, vengeful ghosts began to appear on his body.
These vengeful ghosts, like illusory shadows, overlapped with him, making him look extremely eerie.
Some of them were swollen and purple all over, as if they had died from poisoning.
Some bodies were torn into pieces, with limbs of varying lengths, appearing to be stitched together from different body parts, covered in dirty sutures.
Some of them appeared to have died recently, their expressions serene with a rosy glow. But upon closer inspection, one would discover that the corpses were clutching a still-dripping, sharp knife.
Clearly, these three vengeful ghosts were usually hiding on his body, and only now have they revealed themselves!
And the most terrifying thing is...
The eerie wind that had been lingering around Jiangqiao grew stronger and stronger, its howling sound like countless people crying.
Wherever this wind blows, a layer of powder is stirred up.
Even this haunted road was not spared; signs of weathering began to appear on both sides of the roadside.
"A bone-scraping, chilling wind?"
Jiang Qiao's eyes flickered, and a gray aura enveloped him and Ah Zhen, preventing the eerie wind from getting close.
"You little brat, being hot-blooded when you're young and out in the world isn't a good thing. If you don't know how to back down, you'll end up losing your head."
The middle-aged man stared at the river bridge, raised his foot, and stomped in the direction of the bridge.
"Go, kill him!"
A low, hoarse, and stressed command came from the man's mouth.
Suddenly, a vengeful ghost that had been superimposed on him began to move and stepped out of his body.
This vengeful ghost appeared to have ingested a highly poisonous substance before its death, resulting in its body being swollen and purple, making it look extremely terrifying.
It raised its head and stared at Jiang Qiao with a strange look in its eyes.
"This method of directly controlling vengeful spirits is far more sophisticated than that of the evolved beings."
Upon witnessing this scene, Jiang Qiao compared the man to all the opponents he had encountered before.
It must be admitted that, regardless of this person's actual strength, his ability to control vengeful spirits is unmatched by any human in the real world.
"The natives who can live in the supernatural world are indeed quite skilled."
Of all the humans he knew so far, none, except himself, possessed more abilities than this middle-aged man.
"However, having many vengeful spirits doesn't necessarily mean they are powerful!"
"At least it won't work here!"
Jiang Qiao glanced at the middle-aged man, and the moment the vengeful ghost rushed over, the gray ghostly aura surrounding him spread out like ripples on water.
The surrounding cold winds were immediately repelled and driven away.
The purple ghost that had already arrived in front of them moved in slow motion at this moment!
The Gray Ghost Realm possesses a terrifying slowing effect!
The vengeful ghost opened its mouth, and a cloud of black energy surged within its mouth. However, this action was slowed down countless times, so much so that it took more than ten seconds just to open its mouth.
A mere ten seconds is enough to change the course of the battle!
Fuck you!
A ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Qiao's eyes, and his right fist, crackling with lightning, slammed out, directly into the mouth of the vengeful ghost!
"Boom!"
Before the vengeful ghost could even exhale its black aura, it was forced to swallow it back down by a punch.
Then, lightning rushed into its body through its mouth.
"Crackling and popping"
Amidst the flashes of lightning, Jiang Qiao clenched his left fist and slammed it out!
The punch landed heavily on the ghost's chest, sending it flying.
8ЬОOK． COM
Bang!
With a thud, the vengeful ghost, its body turning purple, lay motionless on the ground.
Sudden.
Jiang Qiao felt a tingling sensation all over his body.
Then, streaks of blood seeped out, quickly staining his clothes red.
Not only that.
A cut appeared around his arm on both hands.
The vengeful ghost, pieced together from corpse parts, had somehow appeared beside him, laughing grotesquely as it unraveled the stitches on his body.
As it was dismantled, a huge, terrifying gash was revealed. Correspondingly, wounds appeared on Jiang Qiao's body.
"I see, this ghost can cast curses by dismantling itself."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the person it targets will be dismembered out of thin air."
Jiang Qiao seemed somewhat surprised.
Such a vengeful ghost is truly an eye-opener.
but.
That's all.
The ghost realm with double pupils is extremely terrifying; even in the struggle against the yin wind, it successfully isolated most of the power of the curse.
"Although the Overlord Body is no longer up to par, it is not entirely useless."
Jiang Qiao touched his arm with a cold expression; the skin on it was slightly torn open, and a stream of blood flowed out.
It looks a bit scary, but the wound is actually not deep.
The supernatural effects have been cleared away by the "Overlord Body". As for the remaining wounds, even an ordinary person only needs to go to the hospital for bandaging and stitches before going home.
The vengeful spirit that had cast the curse on him suddenly and without warning disintegrated, shattering into several large pieces.
"Since you enjoy dismemberment so much, why bother sewing yourself back together to look like a human?"
Jiang Qiao looked at the vengeful ghost and sneered.
He can reflect the opponent's damage back, and currently he can achieve 90% effectiveness!
Moreover, this 90% refers to 90% of the total damage suffered by the other party, not just 90% of what he received.
"When you die, you should return to dust and ashes."
"Although I don't know if you monsters are considered to be transformed from dead people."
Jiang Qiao watched as the shattered body parts on the ground kept wriggling, seemingly trying to piece themselves back together, and immediately threw a torch on them.
Instantly, a raging fire engulfed the vengeful ghost's mutilated body.
"You have some ability, but not much."
Jiang Qiao smiled and returned the words to the middle-aged man.
"How is that possible!"
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.
In less than a minute, not only were his attacks from the two vengeful ghosts completely blocked, but he was also severely injured!
He could no longer even sense the presence of the vengeful ghost.
"Damn it, did he kill two of my ghosts in just one encounter?"
"Where did this young man get such strength?!"
His face looked terrible.
He had secretly analyzed the situation after seeing Jiang Qiao flash with lightning on the bus.
The lightning was indeed terrifying, making him feel an immense sense of danger.
But it's not unstoppable!
But after actually fighting, he discovered that the power of the lightning was several times greater than it appeared, completely exceeding the level of the fifth rank!
Moreover, this young man's methods were endless, completely refreshing his understanding of awakened humans.
Unheard of!
"This cunning poison bastard actually possesses such formidable strength?!"
The middle-aged man was both shocked and furious, his heart filled with disbelief.
⑻book.com

The middle-aged man never expected that Jiang Qiao's strength was so great.
It far exceeded his expectations!
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.
"Should we escape while we can still use the Yin Wind technique, or take a gamble and kill him?"
The man's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.
He still had a few trump cards up his sleeve, but he was reluctant to use them on an unknown young man.
These things are all intended for use "in that place".
If you use it halfway through the journey, you'll have to turn back, and then you won't be able to explain it to the village.
But what if we don't use it?
He glanced at his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.
Even if they manage to escape, they'll lose the chance to take the bus, making it impossible to proceed with their next plan.
Moreover, escaping back to the village from such a place would probably be a matter of life and death!
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly made a decision.
"Let's give it a shot. This young man is very strong, and he might have something good on him."
"That way, I can make up for my losses."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and took out an old wooden box.
at the same time.
He stomped his foot again.
"Kill him!"
At his command, the last ghost that had overlapped with him began to move.
This vengeful ghost looked as if it had just died not long ago; the redness on its skin had not yet completely faded, and no lividity had formed.
But in its hand, it tightly gripped a sharp knife dripping with blood!
The vengeful ghost headed towards the river bridge.
It walks very steadily, but after each step, it moves four or five steps.
In just two or three breaths, they entered the gray ghost realm.
What does he want to do?
Jiang Qiao frowned slightly.
This vengeful ghost had no ability to resist the slowing effect; as soon as it entered, it was put into slow motion.
It slowly raised its dagger, seemingly wanting to stab Jiang Qiao, but the movement was extremely slow and the distance was far, making it look like a blind stab as if it were venting its anger.
But Jiang Qiao never believed that a vengeful ghost would do something meaningless.
Most importantly, the wooden box that the middle-aged man took out was clearly his trump card.
In this situation, only a fool would let him complete the preparations!
The next second.
His demonic aura pressed forward rapidly, attempting to completely overwhelm the yin wind and extend to the middle-aged man.
However, when they advanced to within two or three meters of the man, their speed slowed down.
The yin wind here was exceptionally strong, and under its influence, the gray ghost realm even showed a slight instability.
It takes at least ten seconds for it to penetrate a middle-aged man.
But the man had already opened the box!
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Jiang Qiao let out a cold shout.
He instantly teleported to the very front of the Ghost Realm, raised his fist, and unleashed a powerful punch!
At a distance of two or three meters, his lightning could directly strike the middle-aged man; the yin wind would be lucky to block even a small portion of it!
Just then, the vengeful ghost behind him, wielding a sharp knife, completed a stabbing motion.
A terrifying sense of danger suddenly welled up in Jiang Qiao's heart.
"I see. This vengeful ghost can assassinate people from a distance."
The entire ghost realm was under Jiang Qiao's surveillance, so every move of the vengeful ghost was actually under his control.
The reason we didn't take any action was simply to observe the ghost's attack methods.
Now, the mystery has been solved.
"That's all there is to it."
Jiang Qiao shook his head without even turning around.
The attack from that sharp dagger, which should have been invisible and intangible, turned into a red line in the ghost realm.
Unfortunately, the red line disappeared into the ghost realm halfway through its journey.
"This vengeful ghost is interesting; I'll investigate it later."
After Jiang Qiao removed the supernatural attack from the ghost realm, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him again.
at this time.
A bolt of lightning, like a python whip, lashed out from his fist, tearing through the eerie wind and striking the man's body!
"Snap!"
A deafening roar, followed by a burst of lightning!
Even a sixth-level expert would need to go all out to face this attack!
However.
⑧boOK·Сом
The attack failed.
The electric whip lashed across the man's body and struck Tao Jun, who was caught off guard.
Before he could react, he was reduced to ashes.
The middle-aged man, however, was unharmed.
At this moment, his entire body was semi-transparent, appearing somewhat illusory, as if he did not exist in this world.
"Hehehehe."
The man's laughter was filled with deep resentment and malice.
"I didn't want to do this, but why did you force me to this point?"
Why don't you just die?
The sound was sharp and piercing, like someone scratching a blackboard with their fingernails, making one's scalp tingle.
"What kind of dog-like logic is this, more like an orphan?"
This person's series of remarks disgusted Jiang Qiao.
Having lived for over twenty years, I've truly had my eyes opened today.
"You used a vengeful ghost to hold me back, just to open this box?"
"Is this box filled with your parents' ashes?"
"Are you planning to use the urn as a C4 bomb and take me down with you?"
Jiang Qiao retorted without hesitation.
He won't indulge you.
He knew from the bus that this person was very sensitive about others insulting his parents, so he decided to hunt down the man's mother.
The saying goes, "To hit someone, hit them in the face; to insult someone, expose their weaknesses!"
If you insult someone's parents when you have no grudge against them, that's considered an act of losing your household registration certificate.
But they've already become enemies.
Of course, you should do whatever makes the other person unhappy!
really.
The man flew into a rage upon hearing Jiang Qiao's words!
You deserve to die!
The next moment.
He actually dispelled the yin wind and charged into the gray ghost realm!
"Um?"
Jiang Qiao's gaze sharpened.
"Is this his trump card? He's definitely got some tricks up his sleeve."
He discovered that the slowing effect of the ghostly aura had no effect on the man.
Not only that.
The opponent moved very fast within his ghost realm, and cracks appeared wherever it passed, causing the entire ghost realm to begin to shake!
"That supernatural object is very powerful, it feels just as good as the ceramic bowl."
Jiang Qiao chose to retreat to avoid the man.
There was no direct confrontation.
Then, a ball of flame rose up from the ghost realm and covered the man.
However, a second later, the man emerged from the flames unharmed and once again pinpointed Jiang Qiao's hiding place.
Jiangqiao had to be moved to the other side again.
"Hide!"
"Keep hiding!"
"It's alright, let's see how long you can hide, you little mouse."
The man kept shouting.
His tone was filled with undisguised sarcasm and glee.
"Isn't this your ghost realm?"
"What, you're afraid of me in your own ghostly realm? Weren't you just acting all high and mighty?"
"Why are you chickening out now?"
The man wasn't in a hurry at all.
With a playful, cat-and-mouse expression, he kept moving towards Jiangqiao, while Jiangqiao kept changing its position.
It seemed the man hadn't even touched the hem of Jiang Qiao's clothes.
But in reality, the situation has become increasingly dangerous, as the cracks in the Ghost Realm are multiplying and it is beginning to crumble.
Once the Ghost Realm collapses, Jiang Qiao will be exposed to the man and captured by him!
However.
"My darling!"
Jiang Qiao looked at the smug man and instead of feeling anxious or angry, she showed a look of surprise.
"Now that I can't easily use the beggar's earthenware bowl, I'm worried about not having any treasures to keep at the bottom of my chest."
"I never expected someone to bring me a pillow just when I was about to go to sleep!"
"This item must be destined for me!"
