Chapter 62: Detaining the Ghost Firewood Knife

Luo Suyi gritted his teeth and decided to strike first; countless blood lines extended from his face or body, winding toward the Ghost Firewood Knife.

Moreover, at this moment everyone's memory of Li Leping was mysteriously fading—first they couldn't recall his clothing and appearance, then his voice…… This is the price Li Leping pays for using the Oblivion Ghost ability, and Li Leping also struck out!

Huang Fei looked at the desperate Luo Suyi, his face also showing a fierce expression; in the next instant, his eyes turned gray-white, his whole body stiffened in place, and Huang Fei used a Spiritual Attack on the Ghost Firewood Knife!

Chen Shoushan certainly wasn't idle; he directly took out his war prize Ghost Rope and threw it at the Ghost Firewood Knife, simultaneously using his extraordinary ability, bribery—weaken!

Lin Luomei was commanding the Ghost Sound, but it now had no effect whatsoever; she could only anxiously watch from the side.

Li Jun had also wanted to help out, but the suppression of his ghost fire by the Caesar Hotel and the Ghost Mist was great, and besides he still had Guo Fan on his back, so he could only let it drop.

Three Ghost Masters plus one Extraordinary Person, Chen Shoushan believed handling a little Ghost Firewood Knife should pose no problem.

The spiritual attacks of the several people arrived almost simultaneously; after the Ghost Rope broke free from Chen Shoushan's chaos range, it directly locked onto the Ghost Firewood Knife and, without anyone noticing, wrapped around its neck.

Luo Suyi's blood lines also immediately wrapped around the Ghost Firewood Knife's ankle and quickly spread upward.

Li Leping and Huang Fei's spiritual attacks weren't so obvious; to the naked eye, nothing noticeable could be seen.

Meanwhile, the Ghost Firewood Knife remained completely motionless, as if it had been thoroughly suppressed.

But just as the blood lines successfully wound around the hand holding the firewood knife on the Ghost Firewood Knife's right side, it suddenly acted against its nature, stiffly and slowly raising the hand that held the firewood knife.

Even without stepping on footprints, they still triggered the Ghost Firewood Knife's killing rule……

The Ghost Firewood Knife's killing rule isn't just stepping on footprints; it also includes the hand holding the firewood knife—anything touching that hand violates its killing rule, which wasn't explicitly stated in the original work.

The Ghost Firewood Knife's motion when raising the firewood knife wasn't continuous but intermittent and stiff, as if it had forgotten its purpose countless times midway, only to remember it again the next second, repeating in a loop.

Li Leping and Huang Fei were both trying to stop the Ghost Firewood Knife's actions, but unfortunately, this is the ghost that Li Qingzhi chose to leave behind to guard the Caesar Hotel; perhaps the Ghost Firewood Knife's usual terror level isn't high, but when it raises the firewood knife, its terror level will skyrocket.

The Ghost Firewood Knife with and without the ghost firewood knife are completely two different ghosts.

And the Ghost Firewood Knife's imminent attack target is Luo Suyi, who is commanding the blood lines, because only he has violated the Ghost Firewood Knife's killing rule.

And Luo Suyi at this moment also felt a faint pain in his neck, horrified; in his mind he seemed to see himself suddenly shattering into corpse fragments.

Just wait for that firewood knife to fall……

"Continue suppressing the Ghost Firewood Knife; you don't need to worry about anything else."

Just then, Chen Shoushan's dignified voice came from beside him; instantly Luo Suyi felt at ease, and his panic vanished.

"Good!"

Chen Shoushan then coldly stared at the Ghost Firewood Knife holding the firewood knife high; this firewood knife is his to claim, even if Li Qingzhi were to come…… we'll talk later.

Chaos, Distortion!

Anyway, with the red Ghost Candle as a backup, Chen Shoushan boldly experimented with his extraordinary ability.

The Ghost Mist around the Ghost Firewood Knife oddly fluctuated; some areas became especially thick, others especially thin, looking utterly chaotic.

The Ghost Firewood Knife naturally wouldn't notice the abnormality around it, and continued to stiffly chop down with the firewood knife in its hand.

In an instant, the surrounding Ghost Mist was forcibly split apart; countless blade marks formed on the Ghost Mist, and the Ghost Mist around the corridor was divided into countless pieces, while the Ghost Candle in Chen Shoushan's hand did not speed up its burning.

Success! Chen Shoushan used the two extraordinary abilities Chaos and Distortion to twist the target of the Ghost Firewood Knife's attack from Luo Suyi to the surrounding Ghost Mist!

And the Ghost Firewood Knife, having just finished swinging the firewood knife, no longer retained its former terror; under the combined action of the dense blood lines and Ghost Rope, it stiffly toppled backward, the firewood knife slipping from its hand and falling to the ground.

The Ghost Firewood Knife has been suppressed successfully!

"Is it over?"

Huang Fei rolled his gray-white eyes and spoke in a dry voice.

"Probably."

Chen Shoushan said with a smile, "Once the Ghost Firewood Knife is separated from the Ghost Firewood Knife, it poses no threat."

Without rushing to pick up the Ghost Firewood Knife, Chen Shoushan smiled, took three coins from his pocket, and handed them to Huang Fei and the others.

Luo Suyi's bribery cooldown had just about ended, so he could now perform a new bribery.

"Thanks, boss!"

Huang Fei and Luo Suyi saw the coins in Chen Shoushan's hand, and instantly their hearts blossomed; the two of them had risked life and limb to help—wasn't it just for this?

Huang Fei was the first to take the coin from Chen Shoushan's hand; then, with the help of the bribery—weaken, he felt a sensation he hadn't experienced since becoming a Ghost Master, as if the ghost lurking in his body had vanished into thin air—that pain and stiffness were gone for good.

Li Leping, although he didn't quite grasp Chen Shoushan's intention, still reached out and took the coin upon seeing the excited Huang Fei and the other two.

"No wonder the headquarters stresses that we must first guarantee your safety……"

Li Leping gave Chen Shoushan a deep look and finally said in a faint voice.

Chen Shoushan looked at Luo Suyi; only he remained who hadn't taken that last coin.

"Boss, can I give this coin to Lin Luomei?"

Luo Suyi said tentatively.

His condition isn't bad, but Lin Luoyin hasn't received a single coin; as the captain of the trio, he naturally also wanted to consider Lin Luomei.

"Of course, that's your freedom."

Chen Shoushan nodded, didn't refuse, and without further ado tossed the coin to Lin Luomei; he still had to go pick up the Ghost Firewood Knife, no time to watch their modesty.

And Lin Luoyin had indeed just instinctively wanted to refuse; the captain had painstakingly earned that coin—how could she feel justified taking it? Even though their team gets along well, this is a matter of life and death!

But Chen Shoushan just threw it over; Lin Luomei naturally also instinctively caught it, and was then stunned by the sudden feeling—the endless tearing torment of her throat just vanished……

And Chen Shoushan quickly walked over to the Ghost Firewood Knife, picked up the rust‑stained firewood knife; the knife felt heavy in hand, icy cold, and carried a faint smell of blood.
