The entire city was empty, eerily silent. Zhang Haoran wandered around like a fly from one end of the city to the other, but found no living creatures.

It was as if a mysterious natural disaster had struck this place, causing all living things to vanish in an instant, leaving only the ruins of a civilization...

Hearing this, Chen Yehua sighed, "The worst has happened. The Black Sun's Ghost Realm has more than one layer."

Xu Bing and Fang Tianci were still a little confused after he said that, but the team leaders immediately realized that the Ghost Realm could have more than one level!

The Ghost Realm is a very strange thing; it can overlap with reality, achieving a state where you are in me and I am in you.

It can also exist independently of reality, as if it were a separate, supernatural space.

However, if we want to avoid overlapping with reality, then we need to create layers. The first layer is still built upon reality and based on reality.

The second layer is built on top of the first layer, so it has nothing to do with reality. Everything inside is created by ghosts.

You may still feel that you live in the same city, but the material foundation of the entire world has already changed, you just don't know it.

To give a specific example, the Class A incident at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, with its ghostly realm of the Slender Man, overlapped with reality. Therefore, Zhang Haoran could communicate and interact with his classmates within that realm.

Even the ghost realm in the small theater is the same. Although at first glance, after that C-level incident, everyone was no longer in the drama club, but had come to a very large church.

But in reality, it still overlaps with reality and is based on reality; it's just that the people in it misjudge the sense of distance and space.

For example, you might walk a hundred steps down a church corridor, but in reality, you've only walked a dozen or so steps in the drama club. Just before you hit a wall, you start standing still. Once you've walked a hundred steps, you actually believe you've covered that much distance.

The second level is different; you truly enter another world, another space.

Zhang Haoran is now facing this situation. Since Luohe City is real, he broke through the ghost domain of the black sun and entered the first level.

But here's the problem: the Ghost Realm has more than one level. When the black sun descended, it had already moved all the living people to the second level.

Because Zhang Haoran is unaffected by supernatural forces, he will never be able to reach the second level.

Even for S-class vengeful spirits, they can open up a third or fourth layer, precisely selecting their targets and allowing everyone to live in different worlds.

That's what makes them so terrifying...

Regarding the issue of the Ghost Realm's stratification, Chen Yehua had suspected it from the beginning, but could he really not send Zhang Haoran over just because there was a possibility of stratification? What if something did happen?

Even if it's not a "what if," not all vengeful ghosts will be stratified after the ghost realm is established. For example, Chen Yehua suspects that Slender Man might be an S-class vengeful ghost, but didn't Slender Man not have stratification at first?

So after thinking it over, Chen Yehua insisted on coming with Zhang Haoran, ignoring the advice of others in the research institute.

This has now validated Chen Yehua's conjecture.

As for Zhang Haoran, he overheard Expert Chen mention the stratification theory on the plane.

But he tried his best not to think in that direction, because he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to help at all, just like back when he was at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School...

But in the end, the worst outcome still happened. Zhang Haoran entered Luohe City, but it was of no use whatsoever.

Even with a level-zero sealed artifact, he couldn't find anyone to entrust his belongings to, and he had no idea whether his classmate Chu Jiang was alive or dead...

After listening to Expert Chen's explanation, the others also understood the current situation.

Yu Jiang couldn't help but sigh, "It's too difficult. Although I also have a ghost domain, I can't do anything about layering. My ghost domain can't even invade the ghost domain of an S-level vengeful ghost."

Everyone else remained silent, except for Zhang San, who went up to talk to the dejected Zhang Haoran, saying that he could at least be responsible for transporting the extremely dangerous sealed artifacts, and that his abilities were definitely not worthless...

Chapter 152 Blood on the Right Hand, Darkness on the Left

In the storage room on the ground floor of Tianfeng Building, it was dark and silent.

More than four hours had passed since Chu Jiang transplanted the second ghost into himself.

In fact, Chu Jiang's struggle lasted for less than an hour, after which the place quieted down.

Logically, if Chu Jiang had failed, at least two vengeful ghosts should have revived in the storage room, but they didn't.

If Chu Jiang had succeeded, he should have stood up long ago, but he hasn't yet.

In fact, Chu Jiang had already fallen into a deep coma. He had suffered greatly in the extreme battle between the two ghosts and eventually lost consciousness.

Once unconscious, it means that the balance between the ghosts can no longer be guided, and the two ghosts can only clash and collide on their own, searching for that delicate point between each other.

However, in the early and middle stages, Chu Jiang did everything he could and should do, and he successfully narrowed the tug-of-war between the two ghosts to a very small range.

The rest requires a bit of luck; even if Chu Jiang is awake, he won't be of much use.

Furthermore, the host of the two ghosts must be able to withstand such a prolonged and intense conflict, rather than being torn apart by the two ghosts together.

........

In the long silence, Chu Jiang's cell phone suddenly rang.

Although Chu Jiang had crushed the satellite phone with his own hands, he still had a phone he had bought when he was an ordinary person.

Urged on by the ringing bell, Chu Jiang opened his eyes with great difficulty. At this moment, his pupils had turned completely grayish-white, making him look less human and more like a ghost.

As soon as Chu Jiang opened his eyes, he suddenly sat up!

At the same time, blood began to drip from his right hand; his left hand instantly transformed into an extremely dark, ethereal entity, resembling a hand-shaped black hole.

Chu Jiang raised his hands in disbelief. Although he still felt very sleepy, he felt relaxed all over, even better than ever before!

Chu Jiang hadn't felt this light and carefree feeling in a very, very long time.

Although he hadn't been a ghost master for very long, when he thought back to when he was still an ordinary person, it was like recalling memories that had been sealed away for many years.

Moreover, Chu Jiang hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, but he actually fell asleep just now and even had a dream.

In his dream, he heard distant songs.

The melody sounded like a sacrificial song.

Chu Jiang shook his head. The dream wasn't the point; the point was the effect of his balancing act this time. It seemed to be better than ever before! Better than he had expected.

Chu Jiang even felt like he had been reborn.

According to the relevant materials and papers he had read, after achieving a balance between the two ghosts, the lifespan of the ghost master can be extended; when corrupted by one ghost, the other ghost can be mobilized to fight back, but there is still a risk of the resurgence of the vengeful ghost.

However, it seems that after the balance was achieved, the demon master was almost back to being an ordinary person.

While pondering the details, Chu Jiang glanced at his phone. It was a call from Chen Ke'er in finance, but he casually hung up.

The reason is simple: Chen Ke'er had no idea who was calling from his private cell phone number.

However, Chu Jiang was quite grateful for the phone call. It was already 3:30 a.m., and he was glad that he woke up in time. If he hadn't woken up until 9 p.m., he would have been devastated and would have had nowhere to cry.

At this moment, Chu Jiang was unaware that he was actually in a world created by a black sun, completely detached from reality.

So, theoretically, it's quite possible that Chen Ke'er made that call.

Even if she dials a different phone, if she is convinced that "I want to call Chu Jiang, this is Chu Jiang's number," it is still possible to use the connection between supernatural forces to call the right person.

Of course, this is only in theory; in reality, no one knows who called...

Standing up, Chu Jiang tried to sense the supernatural abilities he could currently use.

First, he can now be completely ghost-like, and no bullets, firearms, or even nuclear bombs can kill him.

Because no matter how terrifying these weapons are, they are still physical explosions and impacts, and cannot harm a virtual creature.

Secondly, Chu Jiang further explored the potential of the Blood Hand Ghost. Now, this ghost alone can give him five abilities, one of which is newly acquired.

they are, respectively:

Blood handprint, blood manipulation, extrasensory perception, ghost-like transformation, bloodlust.

The Blood Handprint is the ability to kill a living person with a single touch and to suppress ghosts; Blood Manipulation is the manipulation of blood outside the body; Extrasensory Perception is the ability to perceive without blind spots within a certain range; Ghost Transformation has already been mentioned above.

As for this bloodlust, Chu Jiang can now draw blood from living people for his own use. This can be used to kill others, or to replenish his own consumption with the plundered blood; it is an evil and powerful ability.

This allowed Chu Jiang to further understand the Blood Hand Ghost, which was in no way weaker than the Dark Left Hand. In fact, at this stage, Chu Jiang believed it was stronger than the Left Hand Ghost.

The fact that a perfect balance can be achieved in the end means that the two ghosts are basically on the same level.

On the left-handed ghost's side, it granted Chu Jiang four abilities, namely:

Differentiation, traversing darkness, conjugation, mirror conjugation.

Currently, differentiation allows Chu Jiang to create a thousand left hands, each possessing supernatural powers; Dark Travel grants these left hands the ability to enter and exit any darkness.

Conjugate, in essence, can be described as forced synchronization. Chu Jiang can now force the left hands of up to a thousand humans to move in sync with his own, and can also concentrate his power at a single point.

Mirror conjugation, on the other hand, uses any object that can reflect the left hand to create a right-hand ghost that exists only in a mirror. This right-hand ghost can forcibly synchronize with the right hand of others, and its maximum number is one thousand.

The most outrageous thing is that Chu Jiang can control the left and right hands of a thousand people at the same time. This right-hand ghost doesn't seem to be the power Chu Jiang previously thought was split off from the left-hand ghost; it seems to have its own set of rules.

The reason why the Left-Handed Ghost can control thousands of hands, while Chu Jiang can only control a thousand, is probably because he hasn't truly mastered it yet. In other words, this ghost's power can still be further explored.

At the same time, Chu Jiang was also glad that he hadn't tried to cut off his left hand when he fought the Left-Handed Ghost.

Because that would only make things worse, and a new left-handed ghost would appear out of nowhere!

Although this newly appeared demon is temporary and will dissipate after a while, it will possess the exact same power as the original Left-Handed Demon.

This principle will also apply to Chu Jiang's future enemies.

P.S.: I recommend a book called "My Tenants Are All Monsters," a supernatural fantasy novel. The author is the same one who wrote about my time as a shrine maiden in Japan. Here's a brief summary:

This is my first time becoming a time traveler, and I also inherited a four-story apartment in Tokyo.

Rin Shiraishi, who originally just wanted to lie down and collect rent to make a living, gradually discovered that this world was very abnormal.

"Apartment manager? Isn't that just collecting rent? Anyone can do that."

"Wraiths, cat spirits, zombies, oni... So, are there any other humans in this apartment building besides me?"

This book is also known as "None of My Tenants Are Human" and "I Collect Rent from Ghosts".

Chapter 152 The Whereabouts of Yun Changfeng

The current Chu Jiang is far stronger than he was before he achieved the dual-ghost balance.

He tried using his ability, but could barely feel the vengeful spirit stirring within him; he feared that only under extreme circumstances would his body and mind experience significant stress.

This means that Chu Jiang's sustainable fighting time has greatly increased. He no longer has to fight to the death in less than ten minutes, as he used to.

Of course, the erosion of the body by the vengeful ghost is irreversible, and reaching this point also shows that Chu Jiang is becoming less and less human.
