Chapter 70 Ghost Domain

Ordinary people would have no ability to resist the supernatural force of mouth-splitting murder. They would die instantly.

For ghost controllers who possessed supernatural power, they could more or less barely resist it, but they would not last long either.

At the very least, Wang Liang, who could currently rely on Sadako to easily suppress most B-rank fierce ghosts, would not be able to hold out for long if he faced the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s supernatural attack alone.

Judging from before, he would reach his limit in no more than half a minute at most, and his body would die completely.

Take Zhou Kun, for example. Although he had only controlled one ghost, the intensity of its supernatural power clearly did not seem weak.

But if, without the Slit-Mouthed Woman being disturbed, he faced her mouth-splitting murder attack alone, he would probably die in under ten seconds.

Although this could not be considered a killing rule that guaranteed instant death, its intensity still satisfied Wang Liang greatly. Once the puzzle was completed in the future, it would presumably become even stronger.

As for fierce ghosts that could serve as puzzle pieces for the Slit-Mouthed Woman, Wang Liang actually already had a target in mind.

Tong Qian’s ghost smiling face, killing through laughter… No matter how he looked at it, it was extremely compatible with the Slit-Mouthed Woman. The only question was how to get his hands on it quickly. After all, Tong Qian was a person in charge at Headquarters.

Putting those thoughts aside for now, Wang Liang continued exploring the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s abilities.

The effective range of the mouth-splitting murder supernatural power was exactly as Wang Liang had previously guessed: a radius of twenty meters centered on him. All targets within that range could become subjects of Wang Liang’s attack.

The third ability was the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s pair of large hands with extremely powerful suppressive force. It could also be called the supernatural power of strangling and suppression.

When Wang Liang controlled the Slit-Mouthed Woman to strangle someone with those large hands, or simply fused the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s supernatural power completely into every part of his body, turning himself into a ghost body before personally strangling someone, he could easily suppress other supernatural powers.

Unlike Sadako’s contact suppression, which relied on terror level, supernatural quantity, and the erosion of ghost blood,

the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s strangling suppression was extremely aggressive. When suppressing, it cut through like a hot knife through butter. Its suppressive effect was far more effective than relying purely on the quantity of supernatural power.

When facing fierce ghosts or ghost controllers, as long as their terror level was lower than the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s—even if only slightly—she could still rapidly suppress the fierce ghosts, or the fierce ghosts inside the ghost controllers, into silence, rather than producing a deadlock or a situation where she only held a slight advantage.

After being suppressed like this, the other party would even become completely unable to sense the existence of the fierce ghost inside their body, as if they had turned back into an ordinary person, with no ability to fight back at all.

To be precise, even raising a hand would be difficult. Their body would become stiff and cold, and they would barely be able to struggle. Wang Liang had a very deep impression of this point.

This was somewhat similar to the Ghost Constable’s terrifying suppressive force, except that its effect was not as absolute as the Ghost Constable’s. Once the other party’s fierce ghost was too terrifying, it would be difficult to suppress it absolutely. Even so, it would still suffer a suppressive effect beyond what was normally possible.

From this, one could see that movie ghosts all had immense potential. Sadako possessed “infinite” potential, while the Slit-Mouthed Woman seemed to have a chance of developing into something like the Ghost Constable.

He wondered whether the Ghost Constable could become a puzzle piece for the Slit-Mouthed Woman. As soon as this thought appeared, Wang Liang found it difficult to remain calm. After all, if it succeeded, he would not be far from invincibility.

The Starving Ghost and the Ghost Constable could be said to be among the fierce ghosts with the highest potential in this world.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Liang calmed himself and continued exploring her abilities.

With this power to suppress the supernatural, the Slit-Mouthed Woman also had extremely high resistance to supernatural attacks.

Ordinary supernatural attacks could not shake the Slit-Mouthed Woman at all, as if they were striking an iceberg.

It was just like before, when Sadako’s curse tried to invade and take effect on the Slit-Mouthed Woman, only to be forcibly erased.

Lü Huizhen’s illusory supernatural power had tried to affect the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and it had still had some effect when she was in a possessed state.

But once it acted on the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s true body, it had no effect at all, despite Lü Huizhen exhausting herself attacking from the rear.

If he had not seen afterward that she was almost at the point of fierce ghost revival, Wang Liang would have thought she had done nothing at all.

Wang Liang had originally thought it was the effect of the bloodstained long trench coat on the Slit-Mouthed Woman, but now he discovered that it was still because of the supernatural suppression.

However, in the future, he could try getting the Slit-Mouthed Woman a ghost garment. That way, her ability to resist the supernatural would presumably become even stronger.

As for the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s final ability, it was the ghost domain that Wang Liang had been yearning for.

The range was just a little small, the same as the mouth-splitting murder ability: a circle with a radius of twenty meters centered on him.

However, the shape of the ghost domain could be altered. If Wang Liang gathered it into a line, forming a one-meter-wide passage that extended straight ahead,

then he could easily stretch its range to over a kilometer away!

At the very least, there would be no pressure at all using it for travel. He could try it when he returned to Da’an City later.

After all, if he had a deadlocked fierce ghost but did not try using its ghost domain to travel, would that not be a waste? Traveling by ghost domain was practically standard equipment for the strong.

The Slit-Mouthed Woman’s ghost domain had no particular color. It was unlike the scarlet of Yang Jian’s ghost eyes, the black of the Knocking Ghost and the Ghost Constable, or the bluish-black haze of the Starving Ghost.

After Wang Liang used the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s ghost domain, there was no special outward color. His body merely seemed to vanish, gradually fading into the air.

However, after exploring it for a while, Wang Liang discovered that although the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s ghost domain had a small range,

its intensity was extremely high!

Because after activating the ghost domain, in Wang Liang’s field of vision, his own body had not faded. But the outside world he could see had changed.

The surrounding village houses and buildings, as well as the corpses on the ground, gradually faded and blurred in his eyes, leaving only faint afterimages, like projections from another world.

However, this was not because the outside world had truly changed. Rather, after borrowing the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s supernatural power, Wang Liang himself was gradually entering a deeper-layered ghost domain.

When Wang Liang’s body began to fade, it meant that he had already entered the ghost domain, and conventional methods could no longer make contact with him.

However, at this point, the intensity of the ghost domain was not yet high enough, and it could still be invaded by ordinary ghost domains.

But as his figure faded further, the intensity of the ghost domain would rise another level.

After Wang Liang’s figure completely vanished from reality, he had thoroughly entered an even deeper-layered ghost domain, the limit that the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s ghost domain could reach.

If other ghost domains were not intense enough, then even if they possessed a ghost domain, they would still be unable to invade the place he occupied at that moment, and would be completely unable to touch him.

Within this deep-layered ghost domain, the ordinary real-world buildings and objects that had originally been reduced to mere afterimages in Wang Liang’s vision had now completely disappeared. The surroundings were empty.

This place was not a supernatural land. Rather, it was more like a transitional space between reality and a supernatural land, existing within a deep-layered ghost domain.

Only things in reality that possessed supernatural power could leave faint afterimages here, such as the derivative Sadakos, the coffin nail, the ghost bell, and so on.

In the distance were the two ghost controllers, Zhou Kun and Lü Huizhen, waiting outside the village.

They could also be observed in this space, leaving behind two lonely, extremely faint figures where they stood.

Gold could as well. The gold body bag he had brought this time also appeared in this supernatural space. This was also the reason gold could imprison fierce ghosts.
