Chapter 247 [Tomb of the Infant] The Greedy Ghost
One minute later.
Chen Ji and the little monkey finished their explanation.
He put the pen in his pocket and pushed open the stone door.
Suddenly, a few drops of slippery liquid landed on Chen Ji's face.
The greedy ghost was indeed still on the ceiling outside the door!
However, it seemed not to have expected Chen Ji to come out, and it shrank back a little, glancing into the side room.
Chen Ji immediately turned around and ran towards the left passage!
The greedy ghost is hot on its heels!
We're almost at the side chamber where the wrathful demon resides.
Chen Ji's speed began to slow down gradually, so as not to appear too deliberate, yet still allowing the greedy ghost to catch up.
The moment he opened the stone door on the left—
The greedy ghost climbed from the ceiling to the wall and grabbed Chen Ji!
The red light of the character for "death" did not appear.
It seems that being restricted by the blue bricks several times has given the greedy ghost experience, and it did not use the hair immediately.
Chen Ji did not give up the fight easily. Instead, he immediately reached into his pockets, as if to pull out a brick!
The next second, his arm was suddenly grabbed by a pair of cold, damp hands.
The force was so great that it seemed to crush Chen Ji's skeleton.
Chen Ji's hand was forced out of his pocket, along with the remaining blue bricks.
He was completely restricted.
Even if it was a choice I made voluntarily...
But when Chen Ji saw the head of the greedy ghost hanging upside down in front of him, his heart stopped for a second.
Like a bat.
The ghost's feet were hanging upside down from the beam, its body twisted in agony, and its neck dangling from its body like a snake.
His face, covered in grayish-white skin, was thin and bony, glistening with a slippery sheen.
Its gray eyes revealed no emotion whatsoever.
He stood face to face with Chen Ji, gazing at him silently.
It is scrutinizing, it is examining.
The greedy ghost still became suspicious!
This proves that the greedy ghost knows that the foolish ghost poses no threat to humans.
For this reason, it considered Chen Ji's sudden escape too deliberate and too suspicious...
Chen Ji felt a chill run down his spine, and without any pretense, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
This ghost's intelligence... is indeed the highest among the three.
He strongly suspected that the ability of the hair strands to deceive the minds of those entering the domain had been completely given to the greedy ghost.
Chen Ji steeled his resolve, and his eyes immediately revealed feelings of regret and self-blame.
She bit her lip tightly, her gaze anxiously fixed on the small door to the side room.
That was the place where the wrathful demon first appeared, and there was a passageway behind it.
He had just discovered that neither Chen Gui nor Chen Yuetan were in the side room.
The floor of the side chamber was covered with rubble and debris, and there were large craters in the walls, clearly indicating that something had struck them hard.
It was obvious that Chen Yuetan had escaped through the side door.
The angry demon, enraged, followed closely behind.
The greedy ghost followed his gaze to the small door, then glanced at the hole in the wall, seemingly lost in thought.
It seemed to understand that Chen Ji hadn't "escaped" but had come to "save people."
The greedy ghost thought this was reasonable.
Its mouth opened slightly, as if it were communicating silently with someone from a great distance.
This scene reminded Chen Ji of...
The sounds that can appear in the minds of those entering the domain during a red-eye flight.
Heavy footsteps approached from afar, so powerful that they made my ears tremble slightly as they drew closer.
A huge figure quickly arrived at the side room.
It is a demon of anger.
It failed to catch Chen Yuetan and was now panting heavily, its whole body trembling violently, not from fear, but from anger!
Upon seeing Chen Ji being subdued, the demon's emotions finally calmed down a little.
It began to emit a very obscure noise, not human speech, but a hoarse sound like a bellows.
It is communicating with the greedy ghost...
Chen Ji noticed that the two ghosts seemed to ignore the mad ghost completely, showing no intention of calling it over.
why?
Is it because the madman is too stupid?
Chen Ji felt a slight tremor in his heart. If he didn't know that the mad ghost was the vessel chosen by "Mother", he might have really thought that was the case.
However, besides being easily confused in understanding.
The mad ghost can not only split its hair strands, but also its own flesh, and even has a single original hair strand.
Moreover, Chen Ji clearly remembered that the greedy ghost appeared when he opened the stone door on the right...
Seemingly wary, he quickly shrank back.
Pulling himself back to reality, he looked at the angry ghost.
The angry ghost seemed to be getting agitated again, pointing at the small door and then at Chen Ji.
The greedy ghost remained calm, still speaking silently.
They seem to be negotiating something.
Chen Ji remained silent, and everything was developing in the direction he had predicted.
The greedy ghost, driven by greed, will inevitably want Chen Yuetan after obtaining Chen Ji.
After a while.
The greedy ghost's grayish-white head quietly approached Chen Ji's face, spitting out a wet strand of hair.
The strand of hair immediately snaked around to the back of Chen Ji's head.
Chen Ji felt a wave of nausea.
He remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly began shaking his head wildly, as if water had gotten into his ears.
The greedy ghost stared coldly at Chen Ji.
After a while, it saw Chen Ji's head, and suddenly lowered its head, leaving a thin trail of water near Chen Ji's ear.
The greedy ghost loosened its grip on Chen Ji, but Chen Ji did not move again; his hand twitched slightly.
After confirming that the hair had been implanted into Chen Ji's brain...
The greedy ghost climbed back onto the ceiling.
The heavy footsteps faded into the distance, and it seemed that the angry ghost had left with the greedy ghost.
Chen Ji did not move.
After a few minutes.
The faint sound of water could be heard above his head...
Only then did the greedy ghost feel completely at ease and crawl out of the side chamber.
A little while later.
Chen Ji suddenly opened his eyes!
His eyes were clear and bright.
His collar was bulging, as if something was wriggling inside.
A few seconds later, the little monkey crawled out, with a glistening strand of hair on its mouth.
Even the greedy devil didn't expect this...
Even though it had already restrained Chen Ji and prevented him from using the blue bricks, that strand of hair was still intercepted!
The little monkey hid inside Chen Ji's clothes, waiting for the hair to appear before it could be grabbed by the hair with lightning speed, out of the greedy ghost's sight!
The greedy ghost had no idea that the little monkey could control the hair strands!
Chen Ji moved his body slightly, but his eyes remained serious.
He sent both the greedy ghost and the angry ghost away.
When the two ghosts return, the angry ghost will find that he has already escaped.
At that time, the first thing the angry ghost will do is to take its anger out on Chen Yuetan, the greedy ghost, because of his greed.
After that, he could use a pen to magnify even the smallest contradictions.
and many more.
Or perhaps, it doesn't have to be so complicated.
Chen Ji's heart suddenly raced. He turned to look at the passageway, where a figure carrying a child silently walked in.
"You were here after all."
Chen Yuetan said softly, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"I've already figured out a way to deal with them."
