The other three weren't stupid either; Fang Tianci was behaving very strangely right now.

Although he has a short temper, those who have known him for a long time know that he is a cunning old fox.

How could something that a newcomer like Chu Jiang could understand be something that an old man like Fang Tianci couldn't understand?

At this moment, beneath Fang Tianci's overcoat, clumps of unknown things were rolling about, craving blood, flesh, and bones—craving anything that could be devoured...

Seeing that the person in charge was about to take action, Zheng Chengren took a step back almost imperceptibly.

He's not stupid; he's only here to do the other party a favor. After all, Chengyi Company has a branch in Luozhou City, and he needs to maintain a good relationship with the person in charge.

But asking Jung Sung-in to risk his life for the sake of the person in charge? Let's forget about that.

"Calm down," the man in the trench coat took a step forward. "Didn't you ask us to come and help?"

"If you were to fight us now, wouldn't that be a bit too outrageous? I don't believe you can't understand this logic."

As time went on, Fang Tianci could no longer contain himself. He said, word by word, "I called you here to help, but I didn't call you here to steal my head!"

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Red Embroidered Ball

Fang Tianci shouted this last sentence, with a hysterical rage.

"Don't you understand?! You bunch of useless idiots. Your heads are missing, yet people are using all sorts of excuses to stop you. How would you feel??"

"I'll die without my head! I need to find my head right now. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way, or don't blame me for being impolite."

It has to be said that Fang Tianci's words stunned the people who came to help. "Isn't your head on your neck? Why are you still looking for your head?"

Only Chu Jiang shook his head, "There's no hope. His thinking has been completely affected by the ghost peeking out, so he can only resort to violence."

"I'll kill you first!" Fang Tianci roared, his eyes bloodshot as he charged straight at Chu Jiang.

Seeing this, Zheng Chengren retreated even further; Shi Tao hesitated for a moment, then moved closer, but did not rush to make a move.

The man in the trench coat pulled Chu Jiang aside and whispered a few words to him.

The four of them had surrounded Fang Tianci from both the front and back.

But with their retreat and concession, Fang Tianci, who originally seemed to be heading towards Chu Jiang, immediately changed direction and rushed into the roadside green belt.

It seems he hasn't become stupid; he's just feigning an attack to attract attention, while his real target is still "his own" head.

This was also the purpose of the man in the trench coat. His name was Yun Changfeng, and his goal was to get Fang Tianci to find the real ghost head, and then everyone would split up to restrain Fang Tianci on one side and deal with the ghost head on the other.

Moreover, Yun Changfeng voluntarily took on the task of restricting Fang Tianci.

This is no easy task. If they go all out, the research institute will have a lot of trouble investigating; if they don't go all out, they might be killed by the crazed Fang Tianci.

Chu Jiang didn't care. If Fang Tianci came after him, he would never hesitate to kill him. His own life was his top priority.

After Fang Tianci rushed into the green belt, Yun Changfeng quickly communicated with the other two, and they both agreed, at least on the surface.

So Yun Changfeng took the lead, with the others following closely behind.

As soon as they entered, they saw Fang Tianci not far away, his face filled with wild joy as he held a highly decomposed human head.

The head was horrific; its hair was reduced to a few tangled strands, and its facial features were so rotten that they were unrecognizable, leaving almost nothing but a skull covered in decaying flesh.

Most bizarrely, bloody tears streamed from its eyes; its mouth opened and closed, dripping a foul-smelling, murky liquid, as if it were telling a story.

Fang Tianci clearly noticed the arrival of the ghost masters, and he couldn't wait to take off his own head and replace it with a ghost head.

Logically, at this point, Chu Jiang and the others would have no time to stop it and could only watch Fang Tianci die before dealing with him.

But Yun Changfeng made his move at that moment. He took out a palm-sized red embroidered ball from his pocket and threw it behind him!

This hydrangea looks quite old; many of the tassels have fallen off, and the overall color is an old, dark red, as if it was stained with blood a long time ago, and then the blood dried completely.

Chu Jiang and his companions were puzzled by what they saw. Was it some kind of supernatural sealing artifact? But were you perhaps throwing it in the wrong direction?

Then, something unexpected happened. Fang Tianci reached out and grabbed his hair, but before he could remove his head, the ghost head suddenly flew out of his hand and chased after the embroidered ball!

Seeing his head, which he had finally managed to retrieve, fly away like a cooked duck, Fang Tianci was going crazy!

He let out a roar and charged madly toward Chu Jiang and the others.

Yun Changfeng went straight to meet Fang Tianci, shouting, "You guys deal with the ghost head. Even if you can't seal it, don't let it get close to this area, or people will die!"

Chu Jiang was the first to turn around and rush out of the green belt. He was very curious, as this was the first time he had seen someone else's sealed artifact.

What level of sealed artifact is this? What are its effects and side effects?

Zheng Chengren and Shi Tao quickly followed. They didn't want to fight Fang Tianci; even if real ghosts were more dangerous than ghost masters, they weren't going to risk their lives. There was room for maneuver.

At the same time, a look of greed flashed in Zheng Chengren's eyes.

That's a sealed artifact, and it's suspected to be a high-level sealed artifact of level three or above!

Even within the entire paranormal community, this kind of item is considered extremely rare and valuable, because most of the existing high-level sealed artifacts are remnants from previous eras.

Finally, if it is indeed level three or above, it means that this red embroidered ball can be reused multiple times, unlike the peace charm, which is just a consumable and has very limited use.

......

Several people burst out of the tall green bushes and saw the red hydrangea already in the mouth of the dead man's head.

Then the ghost head flew up from the ground, as if it wanted to rush back to Fang Tianci's side and take over Fang Tianci's body again.

This led Chu Jiang to make a preliminary judgment that the embroidered ball might possess the ability to attract other ghosts to pick it up.

However, once the item is successfully retrieved, the ghost will resume its normal behavior.

Blood gushed from Chu Jiang's right hand. Before he could even make a move, he saw Zheng Chengren hurriedly shake his head!

With this movement, his hair suddenly grew a lot longer, like a black waterfall, and rolled towards the ghost's head.

This surprised Chu Jiang. Was Zheng Chengren possessed by some long-haired female ghost?

At the same time, Shi Tao did not use his supernatural powers so quickly; he simply took out a specially made crossbow and shot white bone arrows at the ghost head.

These bone arrows can hardly be called sealed artifacts; at most, they are items tainted with supernatural power. They are clearly crude weapons made by hand.

Similar items might be somewhat useful against sorcerers, but how effective they would be against real ghosts is unknown.

Seeing the two of them make their move, Chu Jiang remained calm. He simply controlled the blood flowing from his hand, ready to intercept them at any moment.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Chengren was very shrewd. He seemed to be attacking the ghost head, but as his hair extended, the final target was the red embroidered ball. He didn't even want to touch the ghost head in the slightest.

Jung Sung-in has a nickname in the industry: "Ghost Hair." His ability to survive to this day, and his mastery and manipulation of supernatural powers, are unmatched by newcomers to the field.

This made Chu Jiang frown. This guy... the matter hasn't even been settled yet, and he's already thinking about stealing his teammate's sealed artifact.

However, soon after, Zheng Chengren screamed and hurriedly cut off his own hair.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Greed

The matter was simple: the ghost head clearly did not want to be snatched from someone's mouth. As soon as it shook its head, a lot of corpse fluid was flung out and splashed onto its long black hair.

The power of this putrid liquid was terrifying; it instantly dried and rotted the hair, and even threatened to spread to Zheng Chengren's body, forcing him to use the method of a gecko shedding its tail to protect himself.

As for Shi Tao's bone arrows, they weren't very effective either. Some passed through the rotten flesh of the ghost's head, while others, even if they hit the skull, only made a dull thud and couldn't penetrate it at all.

At the same time, a series of gunshots rang out from the green belt, clearly indicating that Fang Tianci had disregarded everything.

Don't think that modern firearms are useless; at least this thing is a great threat to ordinary ghost masters.

Since most demon masters are still human, even if you cut them in half at the waist, shoot them through the heart with a bullet, or blow their heads off, they will still die.

But if you want it to work on real ghosts, you'll need special bullets.

According to the information Chu Jiang saw on the paranormal forum, research on special firearms and bullets seems to be quite in-depth overseas.

No matter how intense the battle between Fang Tianci and Yun Changfeng was, Chu Jiang had no time to watch it now.

He had to take down this devil today. The more crazy Fang Tianci became, the more terrifying Chu Jiang felt.

If something can completely change a person's thinking logic, there's no guarantee that one day you won't become like that yourself.

As the demon head was about to fly over the three of them, the other two quickly retreated to avoid being splashed with the demon head's blood tears and corpse fluid.

But Chu Jiang raised his right hand instead, controlling his blood to rush to his head!

Blood shot into the air like a fountain, sweeping up and covering the entire ghost head.

This inevitably brought him into contact with the corrosive power of the ghost head. But Chu Jiang gritted his teeth, enduring the blood as it continued to turn black, stink, and be obliterated, while forcefully pulling the ghost head down.

This scene surprised both Zheng Chengren and Shi Tao. Was this guy really a newcomer?

His reckless style does seem like that of a newcomer, but his control over supernatural powers and the unique nature of his power are rare.

Putting everything else aside, even if he gave it his all, Zheng Chengren wasn't confident he could pull down the ghost head with the ghost hair.

As soon as the ghost head fell, Chu Jiang used the same trick again, grabbing the head with his bloody hand once more, only this time grabbing the top of the skull.

After this arrest, the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

There was no other way; Chu Jiang's only asset was his bloodied right hand. Blood alone was not enough to suppress his opponent; he had to use his hands.

But here's the problem: the ghost head is stronger than the imitation ghost. Even though Chu Jiang's blood hand has the ability to suppress ghosts, it can still fight Chu Jiang to a standstill.

On one hand, Chu Jiang was trying to suppress the other party, and on the other hand, the other party was trying to corrupt Chu Jiang.

While Chu Jiang and Gui Tou were locked in a stalemate, Zheng Chengren preempted Shi Tao and tried to use the ghost hair to dig out the red embroidered ball that the dead man's head was biting.

Without even greeting Chu Jiang, this guy used his ghost hair to pierce through the blood and corpse fluid, attempting to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

But Zheng Chengren immediately screamed, his voice shrill and neither male nor female.

Because the hair he had extended into the blood was as if it had been extended into some terrible curse, it was directly soaked in blood and shattered into powder.

This infuriated Zheng Chengren. "What are you doing?! I'm helping you, and you're trying to hurt me? Do you want to go against our Chengyi Company?"

"Get the hell away from me!" Chu Jiang roared, turning his head away, his tone filled with obvious killing intent.

He was already covered in cold sweat. The ghost head was corroding very quickly, and in just a few seconds, it had reached his wrist.

Zheng Chengren's face darkened further. What kind of tone was that? How dare this kid talk to him like that?!

And that look in his eyes... Zheng Chengren's anger was also ignited. He made up his mind; he would find an opportunity to take care of this arrogant brat later.
