Chapter 385 Swinging the Knife

After Yang Jian got the strange hatchet and returned to Ping An Building, he immediately found Li Jun and others in Ping An Building, but he was not interested in dealing with them now.

As long as these people don't bother him, they can do whatever they want.

Yang Jian went directly to the monitoring room of Ping An Building, because the triggering rule of the strange hatchet requires the footprints left by Fang Shiming, so he needs to determine the place where Fang Shiming appeared.

Through monitoring, Yang Jian quickly locked an office. There was no monitoring in that office, but the monitoring outside clearly captured that Fang Shiming had entered and stayed in it for a long time.

The office that Yang Jian saw was the one where Fang Shiming used the ghost scissors to attack him before.

In this house, there are naturally many traces of Fang Shiming. Although it is not Fang Shiming's original body, there is actually no difference between Fang Shiming's clone and the original body.

Yang Jian directly teleported to the door of that office through the ghost den.

He didn't hesitate at all, and didn't worry about traps. He pushed the door open and walked in. The office was not big, and the scene inside immediately caught Yang Jian's eyes.

A table, a chair, and a simple bookshelf at the back.

Originally, everything was very ordinary, and Yang Jian didn't think much about it;

But when he saw two photos on the table, his face suddenly changed.

Because these two photos were full-body photos of him, with his name written on them, but the photos were broken, one photo was cut from the neck, and the other photo directly cut the head into two halves.

And the traces of cutting on the photos were very new, which should have been caused recently.

Looking at the two familiar scars in the photos, Yang Jian immediately thought of the wounds that appeared after he was attacked before, which were exactly the same as those in the photos.

"Sure enough, is this the ability of the ghost scissors? It's really scary." Yang Jian picked up the photos and checked them carefully several times.

When thinking about the time when Fang Shiming entered this office before, it was around the time when he was walking on the street and suddenly suffered a strange attack.

Yang Jian immediately wanted to understand the truth.

"So the full-body photo with the name is the medium that triggers the killing pattern of the ghost scissors. When the ghost scissors cut the photo, it will trigger a certain curse that makes people suffer the same attack." Yang Jian immediately compared the ghost scissors with the strange hatchet in his mind.

He found that although the strange hatchet is stronger than the ghost scissors, the ghost scissors are also very scary at times.

Now is the information age, and personal information can almost be found on the Internet, so if you master the ghost scissors, you can basically carry out precise attacks on anyone.

No wonder when he was attacked before, there was no sign at all, and the attack came so fiercely.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian immediately decided that after this matter was over, he would change his name to avoid being targeted by the ghost scissors again.

Although I don’t know if changing the name will work, it’s worth a try.

But that’s all for the future. Now he needs to deal with Fang Shiming first.

Yang Jian walked directly to the chair in front of the table and sat down. It was Fang Shiming who sat here not long ago, but now it’s Yang Jian.

Fang Shiming sat here before and attacked Yang Jian with the ghost scissors. Now Yang Jian is sitting here to kill Fang Shiming with the strange hatchet.

This is like a cycle, more like a fate.

Yang Jian took out the rusty strange hatchet, and his eyes flashed a bright light.

"Fang Shiming must have been sitting here when he attacked me before, so there must be footprints left by Fang Shiming at this position. As long as I touch his footprints, I can use the strange hatchet to attack him."

Yang Jian made up his mind that he must not let Fang Shiming escape after paying such a huge price to get the strange hatchet from Li Yue, otherwise everything he did would be meaningless.

The headless ghost under Yang Jian's feet gradually spread out like a ball of thick ink, and soon covered the entire office floor.

And Yang Jian sat in the chair motionless.

Although Yang Jian had just got the strange hatchet, after Li Band's explanation of the strange hatchet, he soon discovered a detail.

That is, to trigger the strange hatchet, you need the target's footprints, but you don't necessarily need to guess the opponent's footprints with your feet, as long as you make sure you touch the medium.

It's just that the evil ghost has no clear self-awareness and can only act rigidly according to the rules, so the evil ghost will be triggered only after stepping on the footprints.

Although this is just Yang Jian's guess, he is ready to take the opportunity to verify it this time.

As the headless ghost completely covered the ground, Yang Jian, who was holding the strange hatchet, suddenly saw a figure appear in the room.

Among these people were construction workers, decoration masters, cleaning aunties, and company employees;

These people had entered this office before. Although the ground was now bright and spotless, when Yang Jian held the strange hatchet, he could still see the footprints left by these people on the floor of the room.

Just like the ghost foot that Li Yue had once controlled.

Yang Jian took the strange hatchet and carefully identified it. Soon he saw Fang Shiming's figure among the figures.

Looking at Fang Shiming standing motionless in front of him, Yang Jian knew that his guess was correct. It was indeed not necessary to step on the footprints to trigger the strange hatchet, as long as it was touched.

In this way, the method of using the strange hatchet will be much more flexible.

At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly thought that the headless ghost he was controlling seemed to belong to the puzzle piece of the tall man's corpse in the Caesar Hotel, and that the hatchet was also snatched by Li Yue from the other party.

It seems that there may be a special connection between the headless ghost and the hatchet.

"After so long delay, I can finally deal with you completely." Yang Jian looked at the figure belonging to Fang Shiming in front of him and said indifferently.

He stood up slowly, walked to Fang Shiming's figure with a hatchet in his hand, and slowly raised the rusty hatchet in his hand.

Without any hesitation, Yang Jian swung the hatchet directly at Fang Shiming's figure.

To outsiders, this action looked like he was chopping the air, because there was nothing in front of him for him to chop. Only when he was holding a strange hatchet could he see what Yang Jian had done.

The angle of Yang Jian's swing of the knife this time was very particular. He slashed Fang Shiming's figure from head to tail, splitting his whole body into two halves.

He did not choose to chop off Fang Shiming’s head or body;

Because Yang Jian himself is the best example. He was still alive even after his neck was cut by ghost scissors and even his head was cut in half.

He didn't dare to bet that Fang Shiming couldn't do this. After all, some ghost masters were not easy to die, so to be on the safe side, he was very ruthless and left no room for Fang Shiming.

After using the strange hatchet, Yang Jian immediately began to check his own status.

He clearly remembered what Li Yue had said that the more powerful the supernatural item, the more terrifying the cost of using it. He already knew how powerful the strange hatchet was through Li Yue's words.

He now needs to determine if he is cursed by the hatchet.

After some inspections, Yang Jian found that everything was normal in his body, without any discomfort, no unknown scars on his body, and no sudden supernatural attack in his body.

The sound of the music box ringing in my mind didn't change at all.

Just when Yang Jian was feeling proud that he didn't have to pay for using the weird hatchet, he suddenly noticed some changes in his arm.

This arm of his is connected to the ghost hand, and was fused with part of the ghost's flesh and blood during the ghost incident. Although he stole a little of the ghost's power, he has the quota to suppress three ghosts.

But at the same time, his arm also turned pitch black, like a dead corpse.

But now, nearly half of his arm has turned gray-white, and part of the black traces have disappeared. What's even more frightening is that Yang Jian can feel that he has lost a place to suppress the fierce ghost.

In other words, he can only suppress two fierce ghosts now.

Moreover, Yang Jian clearly sensed that the disappearance of the suppression quota was permanent and could not be recovered after a while or a period of time.

"It turns out that using this hatchet is not without cost, but the cost is offset by my quota to suppress a ghost. No wonder there is no change in my body." Yang Jian felt a little heartache at this time, and felt even more intense uneasiness.

Not to mention how practical and rare the ability to suppress evil ghosts is;

What's more, the reason why Yang Jian was able to keep the ghosts in his body balanced with each other in a short period of time was by suppressing the quota of three ghosts.

But now that he has lost a quota, it means that not only his ability to suppress is weakened during the battle, but even the balance of the ghosts in his body will be affected.

The price was a bit high for him.

Fortunately, the ghost in his body is in a state of death, so he can suppress it without quota for the time being.

But the remaining ghost eyes and ghost hands are not good. The ghost hands are just fine. They are not very scary in terms of horror, but the ghost eyes are different.

After this battle with the circle of friends, Yang Jian already had some understanding of the potential of this thing. Once this thing revived, Yang Jian felt that he couldn't hold a quota at all.

In this way, Yang Jian cannot use his supernatural power unscrupulously, which directly weakens his terror.

The impact on him was very great.

"Sure enough, using a hatchet may have no side effects. How can there be such a good thing in the world? It seems that Li Yue is right. The side effects of this thing are really terrible."

Yang Jian suddenly thought that using the hatchet once would require him to pay for one quota of suppressing ghosts, but if he used up the remaining two quotas of suppressing ghosts;

Then what price will he pay if he uses this hatchet forcefully again?

Will he die instantly due to the curse of the strange hatchet?

Yang Jian's eyes were changing. He wanted to know the result and understand the real side effects of this hatchet, but he didn't dare to try.

Yang Jian even thought that if he could figure out the side effects of the weird hatchet and find a way to solve it, he could use the weird hatchet for free.

What a terrible thing that would be.

"Forget it, take it one step at a time." After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian retracted his eyes from his arms and put back his divergent thoughts.

No matter what, this strange hatchet already belonged to him and had been used. Yang Jian could only accept this cruel reality.

If Fang Shiming can really be completely eliminated after paying such a high price, then it is worth spending the quota of a suppressing ghost.

Otherwise, Yang Jian would have wanted to die.

After everything was done, Yang Jian immediately put the strange hatchet back into the box made of gold. If this kind of scary and strange thing is not clear, it is best to seal it up as much as possible.

Take it out when you need it to avoid any accidents.
