Chapter 0334 – Can’t Eat
After consoling him for half a day, Yan Dainian regained his composure, and he informed Chen Ge that what had made Red Clothes pause just now was his ability – Painting Souls.
There was a certain probability of dragging the ghosts in sight into the painting, but for Red Clothes, it could only retard it for a fraction of a second.
For the time being, Chen Ge wasn’t sure what limitations this ability had, only that there were not many blank pages in the comic book, a limited number of ghosts and monsters that could be stowed away, and the fact that the success rate of this ability was very low.
With this ability alone, it was not enough to make Yan Dainian the strongest stern ghost under the red clothes, and that hidden ability was what Chen Ge was most looking forward to.
Unfortunately, no matter how Chen Ge tried to lasso him, Yan Dainian didn’t reveal a single bit of information, as if he didn’t know he had this hidden ability either.
Xu Yin and Zhang Ya were sleeping, and they still needed Uncle Yan’s help this night before they could do anything, so Chen Ge didn’t ask too many questions, and after coaxing Uncle Yan, he put away the comic book.
”Uncle Yan is good at everything, but he just looks a little bereft.”
Just now when he was enlightening the uncle, Chen Ge said a lot, and he didn t feel that what he said was a problem: “What happened tonight is really an accident for the uncle, but when we wait until the future …… to experience something like this a few more times, the uncle should also get used to it.”
Looking at the frenzied swarm of ghosts around the water well and the rampaging red clothes, Chen Ge gently nodded, “This rippling, light and strange world can only be seen by standing by my side, and perhaps sometime in the future, Uncle will understand my good intentions.”
Waiting for his stamina to recover, Chen Ge wandered around the periphery with the comic book and the hammer, and he summoned the staff from the comic book to drag the village’s fallen ghosts and monsters to the corners.
Chen Ge had always felt that he was a very reasonable person, he would let his employees beat the ghosts and monsters until they were about to dissipate before asking the monsters if they were willing to join the house of horrors.
If they are willing to receive the comic, both sides will be happy, if they are not willing to do that is the enemy, let the tiger return to the mountain this kind of thing Chen Ge naturally will not do.
”If you want to perfectly restore the three-star scene Living Coffin Village, you need quite a few ghosts and monsters in the village to do it, and I’m doing this for the sake of the tourists.”
The employees in the comic book didn’t know how to cooperate at first, but under Chen Ge’s command, they slowly developed a tacit understanding. In the back, there was no need for Chen Ge to teach them at all, as they had already started to spontaneously seduce the ghosts that had fallen behind.
”Outstanding talent.” Chen Ge was satisfied with the performance of his employees, and as he grabbed the Skull Crushing Hammer and hid to the side, his eyes took aim at the two black-robed men.
”Number ten most likely knows me in real life, there’s a high possibility that he’s the president, and if I can hammer him down, Xiong Qing will be affected in some way.”
Wanting to attack the members of the Weird Tales Association, Xiong Qing was a threshold that could not be bypassed.
Chen Ge naturally focused on Xiong Qing again, he had received a call from Team Li when he first went to Lin Guan Village, saying that Xiong Qing had already fallen into the net, and that he had captured him near New Century Paradise.
However, only a day or two apart, Xiong Qing turned into a red coat and appeared in front of Chen Ge.
The conditions for the birth of a Redcoat were very harsh, which could be seen from Xu Yin; one had to be tortured, have a heart that contained resentment and hatred, and possess an extremely aggressive nature to be able to do so.
”Half of Xiong Qing’s body was almost torn apart, and if this is what he looked like when he was dying, then it can be seen how much pain he endured before he died. But now the crux of the matter is, why did he appear in the vicinity of the New Century Paradise on his own and just happened to be caught by the police, and where were the other association members when he was caught?”
Thinking about this, Chen Ge probably guessed something: “Did the members of the Weird Tales Association plan to abandon Xiong Qing from the start? To make him lose his last bit of hope, then madly torture his body, and finally create a raw red coat with the help of his resentment and pain, as well as the black blood in the wooden box?”
The Weird Tales Association had held a Blood Gate for up to five years, they definitely knew more secrets than Chen Ge, and it wasn’t impossible to create a Red Clothes.
”They intentionally abandoned Xiong Qing so that he would lose all dependence, but how were the members of the Weird Talk Association going to accomplish the latter steps after Xiong Qing was captured by the police? How were they going to get close to Xiong Qing under the police blockade?”
This was what Chen Ge couldn’t figure out the most, and he looked at the half of Xiong Qing’s body that had turned into blood, his gaze deepening, “Did the Weird Talk Association use ghosts and monsters to move? Or is someone cooperating with them?”
Regardless of the process, Xiong Qing became red which was a fact that could not be changed, the Weird Talk Association did this, and looking at their layout in the Living Coffin Village, it was obvious that this group of people had a bigger plan.
”What exactly do they want?”
As Chen Ge pondered, the situation near the water well changed again.
The group of ghosts frantically attacked everything in view, the grievances in their hearts about to explode out.
Yin mourning was very common in the Living Coffin Village and had continued for many years, and no one had ever dared to rush the procession of Yin mourning.
But on this day, that person not only blocked the funeral procession, but even hammered their coffins!
It was intolerable, and all the ghosts and monsters acted like they were crazy.
The two members of the Weird Talk Association who had been punked by Chen Ge also had their mouths crooked with anger, they were incomparably stifled in their hearts, and the situation was now obvious.
That haunted house owner didn’t know what kind of unethical thing he had done, inviting the ghosts and monsters of the entire village, only to have them take the blame.
If he could, the black-robed man would love to reason with the village’s ghosts and monsters, or stop for the time being, so that we could all go together to get the most detestable person killed.
Unfortunately, there was still the Zhu woman around, and it was impossible to give them that chance.
When she saw those ghosts and monsters in the village dragging Xiong Qing down, she had the ghost babies quietly crawl over, ready to strike directly at those two black-robed men.
The Weird Tales Association’s research on ghosts and monsters and the human heart far exceeded that of this small, closed village. As early as when Chen Ge had gotten out of the trap they had already predicted that this would happen, so they called back that particular long, skinny ghostly shadow in advance, letting it hold off the ghosts and monsters besieging it first and freeing Xiong Qing to deal with the ghost baby.
The two red-clothed stern ghosts exchanged blows on the outskirts of the village, their fighting style was completely different from ordinary stern ghosts, Xiong Qing, like the other red-clothes in the Weird Tales Association, relied on the blood filaments protruding out from half of his body to conjure up all sorts of shapes wanting to grab the ghost baby and eat it directly.
The ghost baby’s behavior was a bit more odd, as beads of blood dripped from the surface of its skin, and those blood transformed into tadpole-like things crawling towards Xiong Qing’s body, seemingly trying to burrow into it.
Both of them were very fast, and intentionally avoided the water well when they engaged.
Now the situation is more and more unfavorable to the Weird Tales Association, although the long and thin ghost shadow is a little stronger than sister Jiangling, but it is not red after all, facing a vast number of ghosts is also a little overwhelmed.
