C34 (1/2)

Zhang Qiang, who was half reclining on the sickbed and appeared somewhat calm, suddenly made a gurgling sound when he saw me walk in. The expression on his face also changed drastically. He looked extremely manic and uneasy, as if he was a patient who had been afflicted with rabies.

It was also at this time that Jun Zi, who had been sitting motionlessly by the side, finally noticed us. She squeezed out a smile on her pale and haggard face, as a greeting to us.

I secretly operated the Qi Observing Technique in Yi Yun's notebook. At the beginning, I felt my eyes expanding a little, and my head felt a little dizzy. After a long time, I could only feel a stream of air seeping out from my eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Qiang's face was gloomy and his face was dark, as if an invisible layer of smoke was enveloping him. Even his body and limbs looked the same, as if countless invisible lines were hanging on his body, and he was just like a puppet that was secretly controlled by someone.

After seeing the situation clearly, I was immediately shocked, but seeing that Jun Zi and Hu Shuang were still present, I had no choice but to suppress my emotions and walked up to the two of them as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Hu Shuang was consoling Jun'er, who was secretly crying. I didn't disturb the two of them as I calmly walked to Zhang Qiang's side.

I don't know if it was due to the Qi Observing Technique or something, but my senses have sharpened significantly. Just by taking a few steps closer to Zhang Qiang, I felt a strong chill that caused all of the hairs on my body to tremble. At the same time, a faintly discernible stench entered my nose, causing me to feel extremely stifled.

All of my actions fell into Zhang Qiang's eyes one by one. At this moment, he revealed an extremely intense look of vigilance, as though he was not going to show any reaction from a mentally ill person. From the moment I entered until the moment I was close to his bedside, his gaze had never left me, as if the current me had become his greatest threat.

If I hadn't looked at the notes Yi Yun left behind, I might not have known what was going on with Zhang Qiang, but after understanding his situation, I suddenly realized that this Zhang Qiang was definitely possessed by a ghost.

For no other reason, his wary gaze betrayed everything.

I ignored Zhang Qiang's moaning and slowly sat beside him. Although my heart was still filled with fear, I knew that even if he was a ghost, he still needed to borrow Zhang Qiang's body to make a move.

However, at this moment, Zhang Qiang is tied up like a dumpling, so what can he do to me?

While comforting myself, I carefully sized up Zhang Qiang. At the same time, my mind was overturned as I started to search through the useful information in Yi Yun's notes.

However, it's a pity that I don't have much of an idea when it comes to how to use books. My mind is completely blank and I don't have any idea on how to deal with the situation in front of me.

”Zhang Qiang, it's me. Why didn't you recognize me?” I casually asked, but my palms were already covered in sweat.

I wanted to test out Zhang Qiang's reaction, because according to Yi Yun's notes, the upper part of a ghost's body is divided into many different situations. The first is for possession, which means that the ghost forcibly controls the person's body, but the truth is that the original consciousness is still there; the second is possession, where the ghost directly enters the human body, replacing the original soul, can be said to be a completely different person.

Of course, in theory, this first scenario was relatively easier to deal with. He only needed to chase away the intruder, and the second scenario was much more complicated.

Therefore, my first step now is to understand the situation.

However, what made me disappointed was that Zhang Qiang didn't have the slightest reaction to my voice. If it wasn't for the fact that his mouth was stuck, I could even see him grimacing in pain.

I tried a few more times, but to no avail.

Instantly, my heart sank to the bottom.

If that's the case, doesn't that mean I don't have much time left?

Generally speaking, there are only two paths for a person's soul to walk after it leaves their body. The first path is to directly return to the Underworld and enter the cycle of reincarnation, and the second path is to become a lonely ghost that is cleansed by astral winds.

Now that Zhang Qiang has been in this situation for a long time, coupled with the fact that I'm just a novice dealer in autumn (dialect, the meaning of proficiency), there really isn't much time left for me.

I felt my heart tighten. Looking at my friends who were completely unrecognizable made me feel really sad.
