Another death.
After Jiang Qiao returned to the carriage, he first looked at the stone-paved road behind him.
The vast, empty abyss remained as eerie and terrifying as ever, its darkness concealing unknown secrets. Even with the power of double pupils, its true nature remained unseen.
The only thing you can feel is its size!
It is so vast that it seems to stretch to the horizon, like gazing at the starry sky in the dark of night!
Above this abyss, a one-meter-wide stone path hangs, extending from the rear of the carriage, its destination unknown.
There is nothing on this road except for lanterns that appear every ten meters or so.
Dark, cold, eerie, ominous...
This is just like the legendary Gates of Hell, the Road to the Underworld!
And at this very moment.
On this stone-paved road, however, there is an old ceramic bowl.
It sat quietly on the roadside, with half of it protruding into the abyss, looking as if it were about to collapse.
No more movement?
Jiang Qiao took a closer look and found that the bowl was covered in thick, black blood.
But apart from that, no other strange things were found.
"Could it be that the evil spirit in the bowl was frightened away by the abyss and dares not come out?"
He considered a possibility.
However, if this bowl doesn't cause trouble, that's the best-case scenario for him.
It's different from before.
At that time, he was desperate and tried anything, thinking that he could release all these strange things and then try to survive in the chaos.
Now that he has discovered the principle behind the ghostly attacks, he no longer needs the evil spirits in the ceramic bowl to cause trouble.
"The abyss does seem to be able to restrain this bowl."
"If this wooden door hadn't been opened, I really would have had no choice but to let it out."
Jiang Qiao recalled the force he had felt from under the bowl earlier; he couldn't hold it down at all.
"Speaking of which, since this abyss can suppress the pottery bowl and make it obediently quiet, if I enter this stone path, can I also avoid the pursuit of these vengeful ghosts?"
Then, he thought of a possibility.
"However, this abyss is too eerie; just standing at the entrance makes me want to jump down. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to go in."
Jiang Qiao shook his head.
He felt that entering the abyss was probably more dangerous than getting off the bus.
After confirming that the earthenware bowl was normal, he looked at the numb and lifeless executioners and smiled:
"Attacks targeting consciousness are indeed terrifying. Under normal circumstances, very few awakened individuals should be able to withstand them."
"Even I don't have the talent to resist consciousness invasion."
"but..."
Suddenly, three exquisite coins appeared in his hand.
"This doesn't mean I'm completely helpless against you!"
Jiang Qiao's tone turned cold.
These three coins were the last of his high-end items.
Two of them are bronze in color and are engraved with exquisite patterns.
The remaining coin was not only twice the size of the copper coin, but it also shimmered with silver light!
This is what it transformed from after slaying a sixth-tier vengeful ghost in Gujing Village!
It was also his only silver coin!
"I didn't originally plan to use it so soon, after all, a sixth-order vengeful ghost is not easy to deal with."
"And the ceramic bowl also had problems."
"But in this situation, it's the only option. After all, I've never dealt with a vengeful ghost that has invaded my consciousness before."
"I'm not even sure if this tactic will actually work on you."
"However, that's not important."
Jiang Qiao said in a cold tone.
Although it was a bit of a pity, he didn't regret it.
Even the most precious supernatural items only have value when they are used.
What use are things if you're dead?
Without any hesitation.
A cold, hoarse voice, like the whisper of a vengeful ghost, rang out from Jiang Qiao's mouth:
"I wish that my consciousness will no longer be invaded."
"I wish that my ability to resist mind invasion will double!"
8book. СΟм
"I wish that the next time I roll the dice, I will get a six!"
A deep voice echoed inside the carriage.
Use three coins at once to make three wishes!
This has never happened before.
In an instant.
Jiang Qiao felt as if he had connected to some mysterious and incomprehensible space.
A mysterious aura connected with him through some medium and instantly blessed him!
At this moment, he felt a sense of ethereal bliss, and couldn't help but want to soar into the sky and escape this world.
"Is this what they call protecting consciousness?"
"This feeling is almost like being detached from the world, as if a certain barrier has been created between us and the world."
Jiang Qiao felt the changes in his body.
Because he had opened the wooden box, his body had become semi-transparent.
After making a wish, this semi-transparency became even more unreal.
He seemed to exist in a state between illusion and reality, out of place in the world, like a relief sculpture embedded in it.
"This situation... seems somewhat like... a ghost story?"
Descriptions of ghost stories suddenly came to mind.
Ghost stories were originally about real, living people who, due to certain special circumstances, fell into the gap between worlds.
As a result, both worlds lost their information, and all traces of their existence vanished without a trace.
However, precisely because they do not exist in the world, they have become a kind of evil spirit that is very difficult to kill.
For most people, ghost stories are simply unsolvable!
"If it has temporarily transformed into a ghost story, then it is indeed possible to resist the invasion of consciousness."
"It seems that the silver coin worked."
Jiang Qiao felt somewhat fortunate that he had fought to the death with that sixth-tier vengeful ghost in Gujing Village.
Otherwise, even copper coins, even those made by a fifth-order vengeful ghost, would never be able to temporarily transform him into a ghost story!
The power of a wish is based on equal exchange!
In actual exchanges, the human side is even at a disadvantage.
After all, he paid for a sixth-tier vengeful ghost, but only gained temporary supernatural power.
"There's nothing we can do about it; you can't get the supernatural for free."
Jiang Qiao took a deep breath and stopped thinking about the problem.
He saw that one of the executioners had already moved, clearly preparing to raise his blade.
"We also need to get another insurance policy!"
The next second.
A semi-transparent die appeared in his hand.
"My third wish is to recharge my luck!"
With that, he threw the dice!
Sighing sound—
The dice began to spin rapidly.
Numbers appeared in Jiang Qiao's sight one by one, and then flashed by in an instant.
Six o'clock.
a little.
Three points.
Five o'clock.
...
Jiang Qiao stared at the dice with a calm expression.
His "fate dice" is currently only at level four, and even if he rolls a "six", the luck he gains will not be enough to directly reverse the current situation.
So he first made a wish to create a vessel that could directly protect his consciousness.
Then, on this "vessel," add a touch of luck.
"Let me see if you ghosts can still invade my consciousness."
Jiang Qiao stared intently at the vengeful ghost that had come to life.
It has now completely raised its butcher's knife!
At the same moment, the "fate dice" stopped spinning, and a number appeared before Jiang Qiao's eyes.
Six o'clock!
For a moment, the whole world seemed to freeze.
Two terrifying supernatural forces began to collide!
