Chapter 33: Volume 1 Chapter 33 How to Capture the Arrogant Ghost King? (14)

- Late night, twelve o'clock.

Without waiting for Zhan Wu Jin to appear, Jiang Zhi left the house.

The night was dark and gloomy, dark clouds covered the sky, a flash of lightning streaked across the horizon, tearing apart the pitch-black night sky, followed by fine, dense rain.

Jiang Zhi brought an umbrella and took a taxi.

Don't men want evil ghosts? Then she will go to a hospital rumored to be haunted and extremely dangerous.

A place even paranormal forums dare not discuss; everyone who wanted to go there exploring came back mad, and soon committed suicide.

Regarding that haunted hospital, opinions vary, but all are terrified at the mere mention.

Jiang Zhi went there in the middle of the night; the taxi drivers were terrified, they drove her to a nearby road just one street away, and trembling said: "Little sis, I won't charge you for this ride, you'd better not go there, it's really haunted, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, the driver drove off.

Jiang Zhi held her umbrella and walked toward the long-abandoned hospital.

This hospital, decades ago, was an ordinary rehabilitation hospital for the disabled; it had several directors, and when it came to the last one, he began illegal human experiments using disabled people as subjects, causing many deaths.

Until it was exposed, when police arrived at the scene, everyone had disappeared—not just the disabled patients, not even a single medical staff member could be found, as if they had vanished into thin air.

After that, the hospital often became haunted; there were also demolition attempts, but the demolition workers went mad, and anyone who entered the hospital would go mad; over time, no one dared to explore it out of curiosity.

When Jiang Zhi reached the hospital entrance, the surrounding buildings had been demolished, piles of steel rebar debris stacked up, thick like small mounds, looking frightening.

The hospital before her eyes had been abandoned for a long time, crisscrossed with cracks, a thick gloomy black fog enveloping the entire hospital, like a deep abyss of hell.

Jiang Zhi rubbed her cold eyes, took a deep breath, lifted her foot to step inside, when suddenly her wrist was tightly grabbed.

"Jiang Zhi, do you really want to die that much?"

Zhan Wu Jin's face was overcast with gloomy clouds, his pupils flickered with ice shards like a piercing winter cold; the light from a distant streetlamp fell on half his face, slicing it into distinct patches of light and dark.

Jiang Zhi shook off, not waiting to free her hand, her expression indifferent: "You want to find evil ghosts; I'll help you find them. After finding all the evil ghosts, I don't want any further involvement with you."

The girl's tone was quite unfeeling, as if she didn't want to be with him even for a moment.

Zhan Wu Jin's face grew even darker, he suppressed his anger with effort, took a deep breath, and said: "Good."

Since that's the case, let's use tonight to undo the Blood Contract.

Stepping into the gloomy disabled hospital, Jiang Zhi took out her prepared flashlight and shone it around.

Following the darkest spot, it turned out to be a basement hidden beneath the director's office.

Jiang Zhi shivered from the cold, pulling her coat tighter, she stepped down the stairs step by step.

When she stopped at the bottom of the basement, she smelled a strong putrid odor; as her flashlight fell upon them, she saw corpses piled together, not yet decayed, their eyes wide open in terror, staring at her.

Jiang Zhi's face turned deathly pale, she stepped back, but bumped into the man's embrace behind her.

"Scared?" Zhan Wu Jin clicked his tongue, speaking sarcastically.

Jiang Zhi pressed her lips, stepped out of his embrace, then took out a fruit knife from her bag and placed it against her palm.

Zhan Wu Jin standing beside her furrowed his brows, restraining the urge to stop her impulse.

Since she wants to seek death, why not grant her wish!

The evil spirits here are countless; Zhan Wu Jin only needs to devour them when she attracts them, and he can restore all his power.

By then, the Blood Contract will be undone.

And the girl, unable to withstand his power, after the Blood Contract is undone, her life will gradually fade away, until she becomes a soulless shell.

This is the price of undoing the Blood Contract, and this price will only be borne by the girl.

Jiang Zhi, who never intended to leave alive, raised the fruit knife and fiercely slashed at her neck.

Blood suddenly burst forth, streams gushing from the wound.

In an instant.

The entire hospital was engulfed in a terrifying storm; the thunder in the night sky rumbled continuously, booming loudly, deafening.

All the evil spirits awakened, rushing frantically toward the basement.

Jiang Zhi's eyes turned black, and she collapsed to the ground.

Zhan Wu Jin's eyes were about to burst; he never expected she wouldn't want to live on— that slash cut her neck artery, blood rapidly gushed out, and she would soon bleed to death.

"Jiang Zhi!!" he roared, immediately channeling all his soul's power to cover her neck, while his other arm tightly wrapped around her waist.

Too much blood had flowed; the girl had already lost consciousness.

Countless evil spirits appeared at this moment, trying to seize the girl in his arms.

Zhan Wu Jin slightly lifted his eyelids; the deep, icy, sharp killing intent in his pupils suddenly spread outward; all the evil spirits, feeling the overwhelming terrifying pressure, reacted to flee, but were completely devoured by the darkness.

Upon seeing the girl's pale face in his arms, as if she would lose all life in the next moment, Zhan Wu Jin realized that all his anger stemmed from fear.

Fear—

Afraid she would die!

Zhan Wu Jin had never felt such panic before, as if a blade were twisting inside him, suffocating him to the point of barely being able to breathe.

And he also realized he seemed to have fallen for her.

This was utterly different from desire.

It was a feeling engraved deeper into the marrow and flesh.

Zhan Wu Jin held her in his arms, expending all his power to repair her soul, which had been nearly scattered by the Blood Contract.

Finally, his body gradually turned translucent, becoming a soul form.

Zhan Wu Jin used the last of his strength to send the girl back home; before he could even touch her cheek, he dissipated into the air.

During the day he could no longer manifest a form; he could only wait until night.

And the unconscious Jiang Zhi opened her eyes to find herself back ten thousand years ago.

This time she became a eunuch disguised as a man.

In the bronze mirror, her facial outline resembled her original appearance, except she was slightly taller, about 1.7 meters, her eyebrows and eyes had some makeup applied, making her look somewhat more masculine.

She had bound her chest, and even her voice was altered with medicine, giving off a sharp, thin eunuch vibe.

The worst part is, she's been here for almost a month and hasn't even caught a glimpse of Zhan Wu Jin.

Now the favorability is maxed out; only the hatred value remains.

Jiang Zhi must think of every possible way to max out Zhan Wu Jin's hatred value here.

In the evening came good news: a palace-attendant eunuch was granted death by the emperor; the chief eunuch came over and assigned her to attend the emperor in attendance.

After this month, Jiang Zhi learned some information about the current time point from the eunuchs.

Zhan Wu Jin slaughtered the palace, then ascended the throne; all officials in court who opposed him were also executed; inside the palace and among the former dynasty's people, hearts were filled with panic, and no one dared speak anymore.

Tonight's banquet.

As a palace-attendant eunuch, Jiang Zhi needs to personally attend to Zhan Wu Jin.
