The Ghost Eater

Contact with a ghost will drastically increase the danger level, because the patterns you could find before will become invalid, and the ghost will also undergo some unexpected and bizarre changes due to the contact or confrontation with the Ghost Tamer.

This change is unpredictable; you can only fight it by relying on the demon within your own body.

If it cannot be withstood, then death will ensue.

Therefore, surviving a paranormal event is easy, but completely imprisoning a ghost is incredibly difficult.

However, the ghost that Yang Jian and his companions are fighting is no longer the ghost in ordinary supernatural events, but a nearly invincible ghost, capable of wiping out any team of Ghost Tamer. It is already an incredible feat for you to survive.

Now.

Yang Jian invaded the ghost's body, attempting to reduce the number of ghosts.

But his actions were hindered; all the demons within him were suppressed, and this suppression was fatal, because from now on he became an ordinary person, utterly powerless to resist.

The ghost, however, was unaffected; it still retained its ability to move and kill.

As the ghost with its back to him slowly turned its head, Yang Jian's neck and even his entire spine seemed to be under control, involuntarily twisting as well.

The bones seemed to be forcibly twisted by an invisible force, making cracking sounds. It felt as if the person was about to be twisted into several pieces, and soon the vengeful ghost would kill them alive with some incomprehensible curse.

Yang Jian was trembling all over from the pain, and cold sweat was pouring down his face.

He could have escaped.

By sacrificing an arm, breaking free from restraints, and turning away, one might be able to escape danger and temporarily save their life.

However, Yang Jian did not do that, because if he did, he would have no chance of survival and would have to fight to the death.

It's obvious.

At that moment, the ghost Ghost Turning Back, Yang Jian, who had been targeted, triggered its killing pattern.

This is a new kind of eeriness, and a new way of killing. Zhang Lei was familiar with this ghostly ability; it didn't originally belong to this ghost, but to a Ghost Tamer named Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao was also one of the trainees in this batch, just like the rest of us.

But now, it's clear that the Ghost Tamer Zhao Hao is dead. The ghost codenamed "Ghost Turning Back" has been taken by the ghost in the coffin, and may have become part of its body's puzzle, its abilities fused into this ghost's body.

That would be terrible.

No matter what, Zhang Lei had to prevent the Ghost Turning Back.

Once the ghost's neck is completely turned around, one of them will definitely die. Judging from the current situation, the person targeted by the Ghost Turning Back is clearly Yang Jian.

Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and charged forward, tearing his shirt open.

Beneath the shirt was a gaunt, sunken chest with little flesh, only a layer of grayish-brown human skin clinging tightly to the ribs, like part of a mummified corpse. And in the sunken center of his chest, a human head was strangely embedded.

The head had a nose and mouth, all the facial features, but its eyes were closed. It was in a state of decay and emitted a foul stench.

Everyone else who witnessed this scene felt their eyelids twitch and their hearts skip a beat.

Although all Ghost Tamer have their own strange aspects, it is rare to see someone like Zhang Lei with a dead man's head growing on his chest.

Without a doubt, that dead man's head was the ghost inside Zhang Lei.

What's even more terrifying is that the dead man's head on Zhang Lei's chest extends down along his stomach, outlining the shape of four torsos.

From top to bottom, the outlines of the hands, feet, and torso also change from clear to blurry.

It was as if the dead man's head had parasitized Zhang Lei's body and was gradually giving birth to a body.

It's somewhat similar to the starving ghosts of Dachang City, but completely different.

Because this ghost itself is a rotting human head.

Zhang Lei had already arrived beside the ghost. Facing the corpse that was slowly turning its head away from him, he pounced on it without saying a word and hugged the turning head of the corpse to his chest.

Dare to hug a ghost directly?

The others looked on in astonishment.

Putting everything else aside, Zhang Lei's courage is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people.

Actually, Zhang Lei had no other choice. His way of handling paranormal events was quite crude; he would simply find the ghost and then grab it tightly.

As soon as a ghost comes into contact with him, the rotting dead head that grows on his chest will awaken and then swallow the ghost whole.

But this ability is dangerous. Zhang Lei only managed to handle two supernatural events and devour two ghosts. The rotting dead head on his chest had already grown into the outline of a body. If it happened a few more times, he felt that he would also give birth to a terrifying ghost similar to a starving ghost.

That's why he sought out Yang Jian to find a way to solve the problem.

Now, the problem isn't the resurgence of the vengeful spirit within themselves, but rather withstanding the attack of this ghost.

After Zhang Lei hugged the ghost, the rotting dead head on his chest eerily came to life. Its eyelids twitched, and the eyes on the head opened, revealing a pair of pale, slightly rotten eyes. Then its mouth opened, as if it wanted to swallow the ghost it was hugging alive.

Zhang Lei had no intention of swallowing the ghost in front of him.

He would be content if he could just swallow the ghost's head. Once he swallowed the head, he would be able to block the Ghost Turning Back's attack when it turned around, and Yang Jian would not be killed by the ghost's other ability.

The rotting human head's mouth opened wider and wider, seemingly connected to hell, capable of swallowing everything.

The mouth, stretched wide in an illogical way, now covered the ghost's head, forcibly swallowing half of its skull.

"Click! Click!"

The Ghost Turning Back, its neck making a cracking sound as it twisted, like a stuck spring in a machine, trying to turn completely to its back, but was blocked by the rotting human head on Zhang Lei's chest.

If a ghost were to force itself to turn back, it would be tantamount to shoving its own head into the mouth of that rotting human head.

Is the ghost in the coffin more ferocious, or is the rotting dead man's head on Zhang Lei's chest more terrifying?

This is a clash between ghosts, and no one knows how it will end.

"Can it be blocked?" Zhang Lei felt as if the rotting head on his chest was being crushed.

Although the rotting head was the ghost inside his body, the pain nerves seemed to be connected. As the rotting head was squeezed by the Ghost Turning Back, his whole body felt as if it were being crushed by something, and he experienced a pain as if his body was being broken.

However, the excruciating physical pain is nothing compared to the hopeless wait for death that is truly terrifying.

Besides, he's not the only one suffering this torment; Yang Jian almost got killed by the Ghost Turning Back, didn't he?

"Can Zhang Lei hold on?" Wang Jiang asked, his voice trembling.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but he dared not act recklessly, because he might end up making things worse. Besides, he also needed to fend off other attacks.

Yang Jian had previously speculated that once he came into contact with a ghost, he might face more than one type of attack.

"I don't need your help," Zhang Lei said through gritted teeth, enduring the excruciating pain.

At that moment, he felt the dead head on his chest gradually sink down, its open eyes closed, and its open mouth gradually shut. This change was irreversible and uncontrollable.

The dead man's head on his chest was gradually being affected by some force, forcibly falling silent.

However, the tendency of the Ghost Turning Back was also stopped.

Finally, the ghost's neck stopped turning.

Zhang Lei withstood the terrifying attack with his bare hands.

Only he could withstand this attack, because he has three ghosts inside him. To suppress the dead man's head on its chest, the ghosts need to pay a price, which is that the attack is stopped and the three abilities within the ghosts become ineffective.

"Did it hold up?"

At that moment, Yang Jian felt a sense of relief wash over him, and the terrifying feeling of his body being twisted and deformed disappeared.

He glanced at Zhang Lei briefly at that moment.

It was definitely worth it to spend a ghost candle to save him from the ghost's clutches. If he had cherished that ghost candle and hadn't been willing to take the risk, he would be dead by now.

One wrong step can affect the entire outcome.

Looking back, Yang Jian still felt extremely dangerous.

"I understand now, I understand the other part of this ghost's power."

After withstanding the attack, Zhang Lei suddenly shouted again, as if this direct confrontation had allowed him to discover some secrets about the ghost.
