Chapter 32: Successfully Imprisoning the Hungry Ghost

Hearing the wails in the surrounding gloom, Ye Feng couldn't help but turn deathly pale.

His condition was basically close to recovery, and trying to escape alive from the ghost infants' encirclement was nearly impossible.

"What should we do now?"

Ye Feng asked hopelessly.

He now rather envied Zhang Han, who had died in a coma, thus avoiding much suffering.

Meanwhile Chen Shoushan walked to the car, opened the door, pulled Zhang Han out, and gestured for Ye Feng to support him.

"What are you doing?"

Ye Feng asked, puzzled, while supporting him, not understanding Chen Shoushan's intention.

"Into the lab—the lab's walls should contain gold components, otherwise they wouldn't dare conduct paranormal experiments inside."

Chen Shoushan also didn't forget to bring down the gold box from the car roof.

"Exactly! We still have a chance."

Ye Feng's eyes lit up and he nodded hastily.

Ye Feng supported Zhang Han while Chen Shoushan carried the gold box, and they hurried toward the lab.

In the lab, Wang Xiaoqiang was desperately trying to lift the cabinet on Wang Xiaoming's body, but his ordinary physique made it impossible to move the cabinet.

Because to ensure the lab's safety, everything inside contained gold components; Wang Xiaoqiang, a former cancer patient, simply couldn't lift it.

Wang Xiaoming remained calm, asking Wang Xiaoqiang about the outside situation; upon hearing that Chen Shoushan had also entered, he couldn't help but frown.

In his view, Chen Shoushan should be a smart person, not the reckless type who would rush into the hospital with Wang Xiaoqiang, yet he had to admit Chen Shoushan's actions were indeed admirable and commendable.

At that moment, Chen Shoushan and the others entered the lab, saw Wang Xiaoming trapped under the cabinet, and Chen Shoushan easily lifted it.

"What's the situation outside now?"

Wang Xiaoming, helped up by Wang Xiaoqiang, asked.

"The hungry ghost seems to have sent many ghost infants via the Ghost Realm."

Ye Feng replied.

"And the hungry ghost?"

Wang Xiaoming immediately pressed further.

"It's still out there in the gloom!"

Chen Shoushan stated firmly.

Upon hearing Chen Shoushan's words, Wang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief, believing that if the hungry ghost were dealt with, the spawned ghost infants would naturally vanish.

The fear is that if the hungry ghost leaves but the ghost infants remain, that would be a true dead end, since ghost infants are endless while they are not.

"What is this?"

Wang Xiaoming looked at the coffin nail in Chen Shoushan's right hand and asked.

Chen Shoushan couldn't possibly be holding a rusty coffin nail for no reason as a weapon; this nail must have something special about it.

"A paranormal object—once inserted, it can suppress the hungry ghost!"

Chen Shoushan said without hiding anything.

Wang Xiaoming's eyes lit up; he had no doubt about Chen Shoushan's words, and if they had the coffin nail plus the ghost finger, they weren't without a chance.

"The hungry ghost is unbeatable only because we are in its Ghost Realm, allowing it to shift position at will; if we use the ghost finger to pin down its Ghost Realm, we can then imprison it with the coffin nail."

Wang Xiaoming's words left everyone pondering; it had to be admitted that this was also a method.

As everyone pondered, collision sounds came from outside—dense, rattling impacts that made the scalps of those in the lab tingle.

Although gold can block paranormal influences, it cannot stop physical destruction—especially since this makeshift lab mostly just had a gold sheet slapped on the back of the walls.

Given how the ghost infants are battering, the surrounding walls will likely be burst open soon.

Chen Shoushan glanced at everyone but ultimately did not reveal that the hungry ghost possessed the ability to restart time, since saying it would only dampen morale without any benefit.

Moreover, Chen Shoushan thought that without the Wish Ghost's blessing, it was still questionable whether the hungry ghost's restart ability could be used.

In that case, Chen Shoushan's distortion could block the hungry ghost's restart in an instant, just like Yang Jian's handling in the original work, using that moment to drive the coffin nail into the hungry ghost.

Of course, if he failed, Chen Shoushan had also prepared a retreat; if successful, the gold box would be the hungry ghost's prison, and if failed, the gold box would be his safe house.

This is also why Chen Shoushan carried the gold box without ever letting it out of his grasp.

"Ye Feng, the ghost finger?"

Chen Shoushan asked.

Ye Feng took out the box in his hand, Chen Shoushan opened it, and saw the ghost infant immobilized by the ghost finger.

Chen Shoushan, wearing black gloves, easily pinched the palm-sized ghost infant into green smoke, leaving only the ghost finger.

He casually tossed the ghost finger to Ye Feng, saying, "Hold onto it! When we go out later, insert the ghost finger into the Ghost Realm, then protect it so other ghost infants don't eat it."

Wang Xiaoqiang being useless, Chen Shoushan had him guard Wang Xiaoming, and also look after Zhang Han.

"Let's go—kill our way out the main gate, or else it'll be a hassle once the walls break."

Chen Shoushan lifted the gold box blocking the door with both hands, with the coffin nail tucked at his waist.

Ye Feng's face grew grave as he nodded; his inner Ghost Fang was on the verge of recovery, and using it again might trigger an immediate revival, so he could only rely on the ghost shroud to endure.

Seeing Ye Feng nod, Chen Shoushan hesitated no more; at the instant Ye Feng opened the main gate, he swung the gold box in his hands like a brick.

The ghost infants that lunged in were immediately swatted away; Chen Shoushan charged ahead first, waving the gold box and fanning off all the ghost infants at the doorway.

Relying on bribery of the hungry ghost, Chen Shoushan slaughtered toward it, while Ye Feng closely followed his back, using the ghost shroud to smash any ghost infants nearing Chen Shoushan's rear into green smoke.

Thus the two, cooperating tacitly, swiftly advanced toward the hungry ghost, but the frenzied pair soon violated the ghost infants' killing pattern and were surrounded by successive waves of them.

Yet Chen Shoushan, relying on the two-meter-long gold box, fought his way out.

By virtue of their connection, Chen Shoushan clearly sensed the hungry ghost ten meters ahead, though his view was blocked by the successive ghost infants.

"Ye Feng, hold tight to me—I'll let you use the ghost finger, so use it!"

Chen Shoushan spoke to Ye Feng behind him.

Ye Feng didn't ask why, and directly grabbed Chen Shoushan's waist.

Chen Shoushan lifted the gold box and spun it quickly, instantly clearing the surrounding ghost infants; then he suddenly hurled the gold box toward the hungry ghost, and the box slid in that direction under its great inertia.

He cleared a roughly five-meter-long path through the layers of ghost infants, and that was enough; even dragging Ye Feng, Chen Shoushan jumped onto the gold box at an unimaginable speed.

"Now!"

Chen Shoushan shouted loudly.

Ye Feng directly grabbed the ghost finger and flung it to the ground beside him, the ghost finger in his hand stabbing hard into the ground.

Chen Shoushan, relying on that connection, even though he couldn't see the hungry ghost's shape in the darkness, still leapt forward and, in midair, raised the coffin nail in his hand high.

Distortion!!

At the same time, Chen Shoushan's distortion activated, distorting any ability the hungry ghost wanted to use next.

Screech!

The coffin nail in the darkness pierced into a hard object, and then everything fell still.

The surrounding cries vanished, the ghost infants in the darkness seemed to have hit pause, and the world seemed to be forbidden at this moment!

Sorry, everyone, the confinement of this hungry ghost was too hastily written; when I wrote it back then I really didn't think it through in detail, so when actually facing the hungry ghost I didn't know how to handle it well, causing the writing to be extremely odd, not at all fitting the Mysterious Revival, I didn't even use the record from Shang Tong Building, I had wanted to use it as foreshadowing, but now I can only keep it as a collection; sorry, everyone, for future supernatural incidents I will definitely plan the ending before writing, and won't be so haphazard again.
