It's not that Chu Jiang doesn't trust Li Xiaolang; what he doesn't trust is actually Black Sun.

Chapter 148 Transplantation Begins

Because Li Xiaolang may have already been infected, even though he doesn't seem to have any symptoms right now.

If Chu Jiang were to reveal everything about his transplant and how to deal with the Black Sun to Li Xiaolang, and then the Black Sun were to awaken and extract the relevant information from Li Xiaolang's consciousness, then everything would be over!

Therefore, Chu Jiang cannot take this risk. From now on, he can only trust himself among the people in this ghost realm.

At the same time, if the Chujiang transplant fails, then it's all game over...

........

Chu Jiang arrived at the underground parking garage on the lowest level of the Tianfeng Building.

There's no one here. The surviving citizens wouldn't be hiding here anyway; the empty parking lot would make them feel very unsafe.

Chu Jiang used his semi-ghostly body to pass through the wall and enter a locked storage room.

Let's start here. It's quiet, and no one should bother us.

Chu Jiang had already read the relevant research materials from the institute regarding how to specifically introduce the second ghost.

Although doing it yourself now is definitely not as good as going to headquarters and having others do it for you, when you have to work hard, you can't care about that.

There is actually another hidden danger: Chu Jiang's left-handed ghost was only recently sealed and is not yet in a deep slumber.

This means that once it enters Chu Jiang's body, it will awaken at a faster pace. Whether Chu Jiang can withstand it will depend on whether the Blood Hand Ghost can restrain the opponent.

Chu Jiang felt that the two ghosts were roughly equal in strength. The Blood Hand Ghost was at a disadvantage earlier only because it had not fully recovered.

Sweeping away the clutter and lying flat on the ground, Chu Jiang picked up the pottery jar and spent the last few seconds recalling everything from his past life.

Then Chu Jiang shook his head, clearing his mind of all distractions. His life absolutely could not end here!

Without hesitation, Chu Jiang tore off the amulet and took out the dark left hand, still covered in a layer of blood, from the jar. He carefully pressed it into his own left hand.

The outline of this hand was slightly larger than Chu Jiang's, but it merged with him smoothly; because the left-hand ghost was a completely ethereal entity, Chu Jiang couldn't lift it without using supernatural powers.

After merging with this strange left hand, Chu Jiang completely lost sensation in his hand.

It was as if it had been frozen by a chilling, bone-deep energy; as if its hand had been severed at the wrist, no longer belonging to itself.

This is certainly not the end. According to research data, after a ghost enters a person's body and stays there for a period of time, a strange adaptation will develop between the two.

This adaptability can, to some extent, slow down the resurgence of vengeful spirits.

Even after the demon master is severely corrupted, this adaptability can still draw upon the demon's supernatural power, allowing the demon master to live in an irrational way.

Because it takes time to adapt, it is generally only when an unrevived demon enters a human body that a demon master may be born unexpectedly.

The same applies now. If the Left Hand Ghost awakens and leaves before it can adapt, Chu Jiang has to use his right hand to hold it down and prevent it from tearing his hand apart and escaping.

Fortunately, Chu Jiang's luck wasn't that bad. Although the Left-Handed Ghost hadn't been inside the sealing artifact for long, it was still suppressed by a layer of blood and wouldn't wake up naturally so quickly.

But at that moment, an accident happened!

Chu Jiang's vision blurred, and he saw strands of long black hair hanging down from his forehead. When he looked up, he found a pair of cold eyes staring at him from above.

Chu Jiang smiled slightly. Seeing the curse from the Ju-on videotape appear on him, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he said, "Hello, nice to meet you in the future."

The white-clad female ghost naturally couldn't respond to Chu Jiang; as a form of curse, it had already transferred from the left-handed ghost to Chu Jiang.

Of course, this also proves that the Left-Handed Ghost is rapidly merging into Chu Jiang's body, and the curse of the Black Sun is probably coming along with it.

But it was no use; Chu Jiang already had one, and he could only be cursed once.

Half a minute later, Chu Jiang shivered; it was so cold.

He suddenly realized that the black outline that had been protruding slightly from his left hand had disappeared, as if it had completely merged into the inside of his left hand.

But the next moment, Chu Jiang's original skin and flesh disappeared, and his left hand completely turned into a dark left hand!

This gave Chu Jiang a thought: I'm doomed. The Left-Handed Ghost has started to fight back. I definitely can't succeed this time.

He immediately realized something was wrong; why was he getting discouraged so quickly?

Chu Jiang shook his head. It must be a negative effect of the curse. Damn it, we absolutely cannot give up. We can definitely succeed.

But no matter how much Chu Jiang encouraged himself, the reality did not change according to his will.

"Ah~!" Chu Jiang began to howl in pain, his left hand losing control.

The ghost was rapidly eroding his body. Strands of black lines started from his wrist, intertwining and spreading upwards like a virus, quickly covering his entire arm.

This also made the Blood Hand Ghost restless, because it also existed in Chu Jiang's left hand.

In response to this restlessness, Chu Jiang, in extreme pain, used his blood-stained right hand to tightly grip Dark's left hand, forcibly interlocking their fingers.

And so, with one red hand and the other black, Chu Jiang's two hands made contact and they quickly began to struggle fiercely!

This time, Chu Jiang no longer restrained Bloodhand Ghost. He let go of everything, allowing Bloodhand Ghost, who was temporarily at a disadvantage, to become increasingly ferocious. Soon, he and Dark Left Hand were evenly matched.

As Chu Jiang's body became completely transparent, as if turning into a grayish-white ghost, the Dark Left Hand suddenly found itself in a bit of a predicament.

So Chu Jiang immediately did the opposite, enduring the pain and guiding the dark left hand to continue eroding his body.

Soon, Chu Jiang's entire left side turned black, making him look less like a human and more like a ghost.

With the help of its host, Dark Left Hand immediately turned the tables and suppressed Blood Hand Ghost.

In Chu Jiang's case, the black part on his left side began to smear the grayish-white part on his right side.

With the scales tipped, Chu Jiang, whose entire being was being tortured inhumanely, still had to guide the Blood Hand Ghost to exert its power, allowing the ghost's blood to stain the right half of his body, in order to make it easier to reclaim the lost territory.

This shift in strategy allowed Bloody to regain the upper hand, and the balance tipped again.

Chu Jiang was being tortured to the point of madness, and his consciousness felt as if it had been torn in two by his body. He still had to resist the idea of ​​giving up that the curse kept instilling in him, and continue to fine-tune the balance within his body.

A balance must be achieved, allowing the two ghosts to restrain each other on their own, without the host needing to fully intervene.

If Chu Jiang fails to do this, there will only be one outcome: death, and a truly gruesome death at that...

Chapter 149 Eternal Stillness

Just as Chu Jiang was facing the biggest test of his life, the first batch of reinforcements had arrived outside Luohe City.

Standing outside the city and looking into the distance, one can see a spectacular yet eerie scene:

The entire city of Luohe seemed to be shrouded in a black curtain, making it impossible to see anything inside the city through this deep, dark veil. At the same time, above this curtain, there was a sun burning with black flames.

The light was both dazzling and captivating, giving one the urge to immerse oneself in it.

Outside the Ghost Realm, four Ghost Masters stood together, looking towards Luohe City.

There were three men and one woman, each holding an elegant old-fashioned oil-paper umbrella to shield themselves from the sun's rays.

The four individuals are Xu Bing, the person in charge of Luoxi City; Fang Tianci, the person in charge of Luozhou City; team leader Yu Wenting; and team leader Yu Jiang.

"...That's it. We've tried everything we could, but it's no use. We can't infiltrate a ghost realm of this level; it's all in vain."

As one of the first people in charge to arrive at the scene, along with Xu Bing, Fang Tianci briefed the two team leaders on the situation.

He was still wearing a gray overcoat, with a hooked nose, and still looked rather unapproachable; but what's noteworthy is that he seemed even thinner, practically skin and bones.

Besides these four, there was a group of ghost masters who dispersed and surrounded the ghost realm from all directions to prevent the threat inside from being leaked out without anyone noticing.

Further out, there were military forces drawn from several nearby cities. They cut off all access to and from Luohe City, surrounding it like an iron barrel, so that not even a bird could fly in.

After listening to Fang Tianci's report, Yu Jiang thought for a moment, "Can your [Ghost Mouth] bite open a passage?"

Fang Tianci gave an ugly smile. "Captain Yu, don't tease me. If I could bite through the ghost domain of an S-class vengeful ghost, would I still be a mere person in charge?"

"Not necessarily, your ghost has a lot of potential," Yu Jiang commented.

He didn't seem nervous at all, still maintaining his nonchalant attitude.

"In that case, forcing our way in now probably won't be very effective. Let's wait for Zhang Haoran to arrive with the level zero sealed artifact."

"Moreover, Yan Wanli and Expert Chen will also be coming. We'll see if Zhang Haoran can get in first."

"If all else fails, the three of us captains have to join forces and give it a shot, no matter how effective it may be." As she spoke, Yuwen Ting, whose long hair reached her ankles, glanced at the city with a hint of worry.

...........

On a private plane heading to Luohe City, Chen Yehua and Zhang Haoran sat side by side.

Besides the two of them, the plane was also equipped with professional doctors, special forces soldiers, and other ghost masters.

Zhang San, who was specifically tasked with protecting Expert Chen, was also there, but he was barely noticeable and no one really paid him any attention.

Of course, Zhang Haoran was an exception; he looked at Zhang San as if he were an ordinary person.

Although not long has passed since the A-level incident at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, Zhang Haoran's demeanor has become much more weathered.

He was dressed as a special forces soldier, and for the past month, when he didn't need to participate in the research, he had been learning combat skills from the instructors who were protecting him.

Even knowing that mortal strength is useless against ghosts, Zhang Haoran still desperately wanted to become stronger and more powerful.

Chen Yehua remained the same as always. He glanced at what Zhang Haoran was holding and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really convenient to have you here. Otherwise, just to transport this stuff to Luohe City, we would need at least a large military transport plane and at least a thousand well-trained transport personnel."

Zhang Haoran glanced down at the object in his right hand. It looked like an ordinary round-mouthed glass water bottle with an old black cork plug at the mouth.

The only unusual thing is that the glass bottle is covered in cracks, as if it had been broken and forcibly pieced back together.

The glass water bottle was filled with water; from Zhang Haoran's perspective, it was just a half-full glass bottle of clear water, nothing special.

But in Chen Yehua's eyes, it was clearly not filled with water, but with colorful grains of sand, beautiful and alluring.

Staring at them for a while, he even had the illusion that these grains of sand were alive, not inanimate objects...

"Why is it so difficult to transport? Is this thing very heavy? Does it take a thousand people to lift it?"

Although he was holding a level zero sealed item, Zhang Haoran clearly didn't know much about it.

Chen Yehua shook his head, then looked away and explained, "The name of number 003 is [Eternal Stillness]."

"As its name suggests, it can freeze a region in a permanent state. If used properly, it is a terrifying sealing artifact."
