Mysterious Resurrection: I am Jiang Shang, commanding ghosts and becoming a god

Chapter 216: Replacement or modification?
In order to create a "two-person space" where he and the newspaper ghost could be alone, Jiang Shan did not hesitate to stimulate the supernatural power of the word "ghost" to the extreme, allowing it to spread wildly and wantonly throughout the room.

In just a few seconds,

The room where Feng Quan was located looked as if it had been soaked in blood, and all that could be seen was crimson.

At this moment.

The air was not only filled with the unique stench of dried blood, but also with a chill that made people feel cold in their hearts.

"Sure enough, under the suppression of the ghost characters, the faces of the people pasted on the newspapers began to rot."

After taking a glance at the wall and noticing that the faces of the people were beginning to undergo strange changes, Jiang Shan knew in his heart that his journey of "going south to hunt for ghosts" was about to end.

When his eyes shifted to the "blood man" in the room.

At this moment, Feng Quan still acted as if nothing had happened. He just stood in the middle of the room covered in blood, looking at Jiang Shan motionlessly with a weird smile on his face.

Although Feng Quan's performance at this moment was still the same as before, Jiang Shan did not feel the slightest bit uneasy.

If we compare idealistic evil spirits to souls.

So whether it is the body of a living person or the corpse of a dead person, they can all serve as a medium for idealistic evil spirits to anchor reality.

Under the indiscriminate suppression of the word "ghost", the newspaper ghost controlling Feng Quan's body is like a prisoner in a jail.

The word "ghost" means prison.

The corpse is the prison.

After both parties revealed their identities, Jiang Shan relied solely on the magical power of the word "ghost" to trap the newspaper ghost in Feng Quan's body.

The newspaper ghost is not that scary, although it has a certain degree of growth potential and even possesses the wisdom of a living person.

But in Jiang Shan's eyes, the most difficult part is imprisoning the newspaper ghost.

It's not about how terrifying it is, but how to imprison it perfectly.

So when Jiang Shan determined that the source of the newspaper ghost was in Feng Quan's body, he would definitely not let any mistakes go wrong in the process.

As the ghost realm enveloped the door, the dazzling silver light outside the door and the blood-red mirror image in the room formed a strong visual impact.

It was as if the world inside the door was hell.

The world outside the door is heaven.
Time passes minute by minute.

Less than a minute after the ghost words crawled all over the room, Jiang Shan, who had been standing outside the door guarding the room, noticed:

At this time, the newspapers on the walls of the room had all been soaked with ghost blood and fell to the ground.

The faces of people that were once pasted on newspapers no longer have the magical effect they had on newspapers. Each face is aging at an incredibly terrifying speed under the suppression of the ghost words.

In just a few seconds, the floor of the room was covered with pus formed from flesh and blood that had not completely decayed. The remaining collagen on the human face made the pus look extremely sticky and disgusting.

"A human face, a memory. I am getting more and more curious about what a ghost is. And what kind of existence is a ghost with intelligence like you?"

After seeing that the faces on the floor of the room were all "rotten", Jiang Shan stood outside the door with an indifferent expression and did not enter the room for a long time.

He is thinking.

According to the hints in the ghost prediction, Jiang Shan actually already knew the newspaper ghost's abilities very well:

The moment he enters the room, he is immediately attacked by the newspaper ghost.

This means that he meets the newspaper ghost's killing pattern.

"It's hard to determine the pattern of this killing. It could be that they were close to it, or they could be alone with it."

But Jiang Shan doesn't really care what the newspaper ghost's killing pattern is.

in contrast,

He hadn't entered the room yet, and wanted to make his own judgment based on the information from the ghost and the current situation. After all, ghosts were not to be trusted.

Jiang Shan, who had been tricked by the ghost once, would be more cautious than usual in certain seemingly smooth situations, even though he had become an alien and almost immortal.

The aliens,
A ghost.

But this does not mean that aliens will not die.

From the prediction of the word "ghost", Jiang Shan keenly realized that the attack of the newspaper ghost was not to kill the living body.

It is not about pulling people into a dream and then killing them in the dream.

It attacks the level of human memory.
Whether it is Tong Qian’s brain death in the original work, or Zhao Jianguo whose memory was modified invisibly.

All the memories about newspaper ghosts sounded like alarm bells in Jiang Shan's mind over and over again.

"The ghost word foreknowledge says that when I am attacked by newspaper ghosts, the memories of the faces pasted on the newspapers will replace my past memories, thus replacing my present self."

"But it seems that the newspaper ghost's killing method is very different from what I thought before. The ghost used the word 'replacement' in the prediction to mislead me!"

"So the newspaper ghost is not trying to use the memory of the human face to replace my past memory and replace the present me. It wants to kill me from the memory."

Thinking of this, Jiang Shan's face became extremely gloomy.

The word "replacement" in the ghost's prediction put his thinking into a dead end.

Because Jiang Shan anchored his memories on the blood ghost through the supernatural power of the ghost lotus, in the conflict and collision between the "past" and the "present", his past and present memories and emotions remained forever on a fixed timeline.

This is how Jiang Shan became an outlier.

Therefore, he believes that the word "substitution" is specifically emphasized in the ghost word prediction.

It means that his past memories were eroded by the memories in the human face, and then he traced the source, so that the person in the human face memory replaced his current self.

After all, the past self in my memory has disappeared.

So am I still myself now?

Just when Jiang Shan was lost in thought over this question and was reluctant to enter the room.

He suddenly thought of the various actions that Zhao Jianguo had taken as a result of being influenced by the ghost in the newspaper.

"The newspaper ghost can attack the spirits by superimposing consciousness on the faces of people in the room, which means it can strengthen the intensity of memory modification."

"But it can even affect people's memories without taking their faces, just like Zhao Jianguo who induced me to save Feng Quan. So the focus of the newspaper ghost's attack is not on replacement, but on modifying memory."

At this moment, Jiang Shan realized that he had been thinking too much.

The newspaper ghost took off the face.
It's memory.

Even if the newspaper ghost can modify memory, so what?
As long as he can ensure that the memories he anchored in the blood ghost using the ghost lotus will not be modified by the newspaper ghost.

Then he is still Jiang Shan.

Still a ghost with Jiang Shan's memories and emotions.

Although the description of memory and soul in the original book is very vague, Jiang Shan, who has come to this world, is now sure of one thing:

No matter whether your memory was stolen, destroyed by the spirit, or modified.

As long as the person who has his memories, or the ghost, knows that he is Jiang Shan and knows what he should do.

Then he is alive.

The man from outer space named Jiang Shan did not die.

And how could the horror level of the newspaper ghost alone affect his memory?
