Before the supernatural resurgence, he had visited a place called the White Horse Club and attended a banquet hosted by "new humans".
At the banquet, Qin Rou, the North District Manager of the "New Humans," tried to forcibly take him to the Tengfei Building.
Then, a great war broke out!
Among the helpers Qin Rou brought was a woman named Xiao Hong, who wore a strange little snake on her lips.
This snake possesses a terrifying ability.
Time reset!
Jiang Qiao killed Qin Rou several times, but Xiao Hong saved her each time by resetting time.
If Xiao Hong weren't too weak and unable to sustain this ability for an extended period, Jiang Qiao really wouldn't have had a better solution.
There are two ways to integrate the snake's abilities.
Jiang Qiao moved his left hand slightly, and a small, flowery snake appeared in his hand.
He kept the snake in his ghost skin bag.
Perhaps because of its strange nature, it still looked radiant after being placed in my pocket for more than ten days.
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao, it even flicked its tongue and opened its mouth to bite!
However, Jiang Qiao rubbed his fingers together and grabbed the snake's head, preventing it from launching an attack no matter how it twisted.
"During the simulation, it merged with the double pupils."
"The advantage is that the double pupils can share the burden of its use, and there will be almost no side effects."
"But this requires certain conditions, such as the fruit from Hualong Mountain."
Jiang Qiao's talent comes from the simulator, which he can use without paying a price.
Or, it could be said that, because of the simulator, these abilities have been completely integrated with him and have become a part of him.
Just like hands and feet.
Using it too much will just make you feel tired; it won't cause your hands and feet to develop their own thoughts and take your place.
However, if he acquires some kind of strange or vengeful power from the outside world, there is still a risk of him reviving because it has not been processed by a simulator.
"Besides that, we can use demonic possession techniques to forcibly integrate it into our bodies."
"This requires no conditions and can be used immediately."
"However, while being possessed by a demon may strengthen the body, it will not alleviate the pressure. I still have to bear most of the cost of using supernatural powers myself."
"Ouroboros, reset time."
"Such a terrifying ability must come at a very high cost."
"That woman named Xiaohong's body fell into irreversible weakness after only a few uses."
"He died tragically on the spot, without even a complete body."
Jiang Qiao was filled with apprehension.
If he is in a very dangerous environment, he will inevitably have to make extensive use of supernatural powers.
Therefore, he prefers to use "double pupils" to integrate this ability.
Just like the previous fusion of "White Bone Fire" and Ghost Smoke, after the fusion of existing talents, not only can the power be upgraded, but the negative effects can also be avoided.
After using the ability multiple times, at most the double pupils will become fatigued and temporarily unable to use it.
It won't cost me my life force!
Most importantly, this kind of exhaustion can be resolved with the Life Substitution Technique!
"At that time, time reset will be my main means of survival, while life substitution will be a backup plan."
"In this way, the consumption of the substitute doll can be greatly reduced, and there is no need to search for fifth-tier vengeful ghosts everywhere."
Jiang Qiao thought about it and felt that this alternative was the best solution at present.
He had planned to go to Hualong Mountain anyway, so it wouldn't delay anything.
"Let's go back to the real world first; it's still a bit early."
...
The strange street remained unchanged despite the drowned ghost's death.
On the other hand, black smoke was billowing from the bus behind us, and it had begun to seep out of the windows and spread to the surrounding area.
I have no idea what's wrong with this car.
"Don't get involved with that black energy, let's go around it."
Jiang Qiao glanced at it but couldn't judge the current level of danger of the bus, so he chose to give way.

Ah Zhen certainly wouldn't object; she couldn't wait to get away from it.
then.
The two began walking towards the road ahead.
"I saved you twice, cleaned up your messes, and eliminated the threat of the drowning ghost. How are you going to repay me?"
Jiang Qiao suddenly looked at Ah Zhen and spoke.
"ah--"
Ah Zhen paused for a moment, then quickly said:
"Brother Jiang, thank you so much for saving my life."
"What do you need...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Qiao suddenly waved his hand, interrupting her.
"I have no other requests."
"However, it won't be long before I need to go to Wild Dog Ridge, and I hope you can lead the way."
He stated his demands directly.
"This is also the biggest reason for saving you, and the value of your existence."
to be honest.
Jiang Qiao didn't like this woman named A-Zhen very much.
She looks so weak, I don't know if she's faking it. Besides being a burden, she's probably not even qualified to be cannon fodder.
However, she had been to Wild Dog Ridge, albeit only the outer area, but her "yin eyes" had seen quite a few things.
It might not be bad as a guide.
Anyway, Boss Jiang won't be responsible for her life. If she's in any danger, he'll help if he can, and if he can't, then she'll just die.
"I..."
"Just tell me if it's okay or not," Jiang Qiao said.
"I...can do it!"
Ah Zhen knew she couldn't refuse Jiang Qiao, so she had no choice but to agree.
"very good."
"I'm not afraid you won't admit it, because if I want to kill you, you will die no matter where you hide."
Jiang Qiao said calmly.
Ah Zhen's face turned pale, and she quickly said:
"Brother Jiang, please don't misunderstand. I always do things with sincerity, and I won't go back on my word once I've made a promise."
It seems they are worried that the other party won't believe them.
She continued:
"A-Qiang and I are both from Village 305. We can add each other as friends. If you want to go to Wild Dog Ridge, just send me a message."
"Um."
Jiang Qiao nodded.
"Give me a map of Wild Dog Ridge, I'll take a look at it later."
After the two became friends, Ah Zhen sent Jiang Qiao the map that Ye Peng had shared earlier.
Jiang Qiao glanced at it and saved it.
I plan to think about it carefully when I have time, and also ask Liu Yuanyuan for her opinion.
...
Not long after the two left.
The eerie figures on the bus suddenly ran frantically out of the front door, as if something terrifying had forced them to leave the bus.
Immediately afterwards.
Once again, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed down that strange street.
A row of elderly people dressed in funeral clothes walked out from the end of the street.
They left the streets and came to the highway.
Then, they formed a long queue and slowly boarded the old bus.

Um?"
Jiang Qiao and A Zhen left the vicinity of the bus, and even with their eyesight, they could only see a rough outline.
At this distance, evil spirits near the vehicle will not target them.
"The bus won't break down, will it? How are we going to leave?"
Ah Zhen said worriedly.
This bus is now teeming with vengeful spirits, making it increasingly dangerous. The two haunted spaces, in particular, are incredibly eerie.
Under these circumstances, is this car still usable?
Will it just break down and be left on the roadside?
How could that be?
Jiang Qiao chuckled:
"Whether it's that brand-new bus or this old bus, they have been operating in the supernatural world for a long time."
"The terrifying areas we passed through along the way, and the horrific ghosts we encountered, must have been numerous."
"Given the current situation, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get a spot."
"I think the driver got out of the car very skillfully, so it's probably not the first time he's encountered something like this."
After hearing this, Ah Zhen felt a little relieved.
She asked cautiously:
"Brother Jiang, do you mean that if the bus doesn't run, the vengeful ghosts will leave on their own?"
She recalled the scene when the ghosts urged the car to leave earlier.
"It's not necessarily that they got off the bus on their own; perhaps they were forced off by something."
"Or perhaps, this bus is being used as a platform, connecting two supernatural spaces, where something wants to come out."
"It will return to normal after you come out."
"But there's no point in thinking nonsense right now."
"Buses will definitely return to normal, we just need to wait. Maybe it will take a few hours, or it might take a few days, or even a few months."
Jiang Qiao shrugged and said somewhat nonchalantly.
He desperately wanted to leave the supernatural world, but now that he was in this situation, there was no use in being anxious.
We can only wait.
His only worry now is that Yang Lulu might die.
"I sent their whole family to Ancheng in advance, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"As far as I can remember, Ancheng didn't start to show any abnormalities until more than forty days after the resurgence of supernatural phenomena."
"Besides, even if something unusual happens, for a city of over a million people, the number of people who die every day is nothing."
"If she's really that unlucky, then I guess I'll just have to accept it."
"We'll think of another way when the time comes."
The secret passage of Jiangqiao Bridge.
...
The waiting time is tedious and boring.
Especially in a place without cell phones, all you can do is stare at each other blankly.
"Brother Jiang, are you taking the bus somewhere?"
After a moment of silence, Ah Zhen cautiously began to try and start a conversation with Jiang Qiao.
"I went to Yicheng and am now preparing to return to the wasteland."
Jiang Qiao didn't hide anything and just said it casually.
"Ah, Yicheng? That seems to be a city inhabited by indigenous people, but I've never been there."
Ah Zhen asked with some curiosity:
"I heard that most of the people in that city are ordinary people. Is that true?"
Jiang Qiao nodded.
"That's right. Most of them are ordinary people who have lived in the city their whole lives, and many of them don't even know that there are vengeful ghosts."
"To be honest, this is a bit counterintuitive. I don't quite understand it."
⑧BOOK.COM
"However, that city has a special agency to deal with vengeful ghosts, and they are very powerful."
He pictured "Lord Bai" above the clouds, and the black sedan chair that made his heart pound with fear at the mere sight of it.
Without a doubt, the fact that this city can stand unscathed in the supernatural world speaks volumes about its profound history.
At least, the vengeful female ghost, who had already stepped into the realm of ghost stories, was successfully sealed in a house for over twenty years.
This alone is something that many established villages probably can't do!
He used a clever trick to banish the female ghost, but whether it actually worked is hard to say.
After all, he did not go back into that building to check.
It is highly likely that they later entered the terrifying underworld, which was the biggest reason they escaped the Cursed Woman Ghost.
"I also..."
Just as Ah Zhen spoke again.
Suddenly, Jiang Qiao's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand, interrupting her.
Then, he looked in the direction of the bus.
When Ah Zhen saw Jiang Qiao's actions, she subconsciously looked over as well, and her gaze immediately sharpened.
A large group of figures appeared in the fog ahead, steadily approaching them.
"These are... the ghosts on those vehicles."
With her keen eyesight, she quickly made out the shapes of those figures.
"Did these monsters get off the vehicle to chase us?"
Ah Zhen panicked a little and subconsciously looked at Jiang Qiao, only to find that the other party's face was as calm as still water.
She felt at ease.
These things are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of the big shots, utterly vulnerable!
Jiang Qiao didn't notice Ah Zhen's actions.
He was just a little curious:
"These things got off the vehicle in a hurry and ran away, it really looked like they were chased off the vehicle by something."
He saw several ghosts even fall to the ground because they were moving too fast.
The ghosts and monsters that followed didn't give way, and in their panic, they stepped directly over their heads.
soon.
These figures came into view of them.
They vary in height, gender, and appearance.
The only thing they had in common was that their skin was deathly pale, as if it had been coated with a layer of white paste, and their eyes were just eye sockets, as if their eyeballs had been gouged out.
"There's something wrong with these ghosts; they look like they've been attacked."
Jiang Qiao quickly discovered that some of the ghosts had huge claw marks on their bodies, as if they had been torn by fingernails.
"Brother Jiang, what do we do now?"
Ah Zhen looked at the crowded highway and felt the growing chill around her; fear appeared on her face.
Jiang Qiao frowned slightly.
This woman is truly useless. I don't know how she's survived until now, and even possesses third-tier strength.
As an all-around player, he essentially plays all positions—ADC, AP, tank, jungler, and top laner—all by himself. Therefore, the role of the support in this unusual team is somewhat overlooked.
It's like playing a game where the support role is clearly a strategic position, but most players say it's important while secretly not really understanding its significance.
When watching a game, a third-party perspective might offer a more objective view.
Once you start playing games!
Hehe, all the wins are thanks to my own carry performance; the support is just there to coast along.
In fact, awakened individuals like Ah Zhen, who can see the supernatural, would definitely be the focus of protection.
Therefore, she almost never personally dealt with the vengeful ghosts!
"Stop talking nonsense, you won't die."
Jiang Qiao frowned, and a thick plume of smoke billowed from his body.
It instantly enveloped all the ghosts and monsters in front of it.
"I wouldn't even bother throwing a punch at someone like that."
