Chapter 112 - 393 The Incomprehensible Execution Ground

Jiang Qiao never expected that he would suddenly find himself on an execution ground without any warning.

Standing around were burly, fierce ghosts, dressed in red shirts and carrying large, ghost-headed knives.

After a command to "execute" was heard from an unknown source, an executioner walked to his side and took the plaque with the word "beheading" written on it from his back.

Immediately afterwards, the vengeful ghost raised its large knife without hesitation and swung it down fiercely!

Jiang Qiao knelt on the ground, his whole body bound by iron chains, unable to move at all. He tried to struggle and escape, but it was as if he was experiencing sleep paralysis, and his body simply wouldn't obey his commands!

"ah!"

A scream rang out, but Jiang Qiao did not feel any pain. He only felt a chill on his neck, and then he lost all sensation in his body.

He recalled a story he had once read.

There was once a scientist named Lavoisier who, after being sentenced to death, did not wet himself in fear like many others. Instead, he was very curious about whether a person would still have a moment of consciousness after being beheaded.

So, before the execution, Lavoisier told his servants that he would try blinking after the beheading and that ordinary people should count how many times they blinked.

After the execution, Lavoisier's head rolled to the ground and actually blinked!

Although this experiment has been controversial in the scientific community.

However, there are indeed many reports that suggest a person can remain conscious for a few seconds after their head hits the ground.

Jiang Qiao had been curious about this before.

However, just as many people are curious about what it feels like after death, no one would want to experience that feeling beforehand.

Jiang Qiao just wanted others to do the experiment; he only needed to know the results.

But today, he experienced the taste of beheading firsthand!

A dizzying sensation swept over him, and he felt no pain, nor even his self-awareness. He simply stared instinctively at a certain place.

There seemed to be a few tables and chairs set up there, but no one was sitting there.

But his mind had stopped; he couldn't think or recognize what it was, he just saw it instinctively.

Then, everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

But the next second...

The darkness before his eyes was dispelled, and his consciousness returned.

The execution ground in front of us has disappeared.

The carriage had transformed back into a scene resembling a crime scene, and he was standing in the last row of the carriage, in front of the huge hole.

"They came back after being beheaded?"

Jiang Qiao was initially confused, but then he discovered that one of the substitute dolls on his body had been decapitated.

"I see."

"I've already died once, but I was passively resurrected by the Life Substitution Technique."

He immediately understood what was going on.

However, before he could make any further moves, one of the executioners suddenly raised his machete!

"Holy crap?"

Before Jiang Qiao could even roar, the scenery before him changed again, and he was back on the high platform.

Same as before.

He was kneeling on the ground, his body bound in iron chains, with an iron plaque stuck in his back bearing a scarlet character for "slay"!

"What's going on?" Jiang Qiao was both shocked and angry.

He didn't even have time to react before he was dragged back to the execution ground in a daze!

"I didn't feel any curse, nor did I have any signs of being attacked by the supernatural. Everything was very sudden."

"The whole process was inexplicable."

Jiang Qiao lost his sense of supernatural power again, as if he had become an ordinary person.

This is something I've never heard of before.

Even that terrifying female ghost who can strip people of their abilities couldn't do it so silently.

This completely overturned his worldview!

Just then, a series of heavy footsteps came from the side, as if many people were walking up to the platform.

Tap tap tap—

Tap tap tap—

Tap tap tap—

Jiang Qiao's head was immobile; he could only move his eyeballs.

He saw the executioners, dressed in red shirts and black trousers with scarlet belts, line up and walk onto the execution platform.

Then.

A loud voice came from not far behind:

It's noon!

"Execute them!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than an executioner appeared beside him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jiang Qiao noticed that the vengeful ghost was the second person in the carriage to raise the ghost-head knife.

The same as before, inside the carriage.

Without any hesitation, it raised the nicked sword and slashed down hard at Jiang Qiao's neck!

"Fuck you!"

Jiang Qiao cursed inwardly, then felt dizzy and spun around again.

...

Consciousness returned.

Jiangqiao was resurrected inside the train carriage.

Without any hesitation, he raised his fist, as big as a casserole dish, and threw a powerful punch at the vengeful ghost in front of him!

This punch was delivered without any reservation.

A terrifying black current instantly swept through the entire carriage, and a giant python-like electric snake swallowed a vengeful ghost in an instant.

However, Jiang Qiao saw a third executioner raise his knife.

...

He knelt on the execution ground for the third time.

Jiang Qiao felt less agitated and conflicted, and began to carefully consider what was going on.

Without a doubt.

Although he could not sense any supernatural power, his skills had not disappeared; otherwise, he would not have been able to revive using the Substitute Life Technique.

"I cannot use my abilities at the execution ground, but I can still passively trigger the substitution effect after death."

"This looks like some kind of shielding."

He watched the executioners walk one by one to the execution ground, lost in thought.

"My punch just now clearly hit a vengeful ghost, and I'm certain it was shattered."

"But I felt empty, like it wasn't real."

The instant Jiang Qiao was teleported to the execution ground, the lightning in his hand struck a vengeful ghost.

But he didn't feel any "realness" at all, as if he had hit thin air.

"Could it be some kind of ghost story?"

Jiang Qiao thought of a possibility.

But he quickly dismissed this guess.

"But ghost stories shouldn't have dragged me from the train carriage all the way here."

His eyes darted around as he surveyed his surroundings.

It looks incredibly realistic; the hardness and coldness of the ground where your knees touch it doesn't feel fake at all.

"What exactly is going on?"

Jiang Qiao was completely baffled.

However, his contemplation did not affect the executioner opposite him.

With a swift movement, the knife fell.

His head, filled with many question marks, landed on the ground once again.

...

He woke up inside the carriage.

This time, Jiang Qiao directly opened the Gray Ghost Realm and enveloped himself inside. Then, he immediately took out a ceramic bowl and quickly bounced it rhythmically.

Clang—

Clang clang—

Clang clang clang—

The earthenware bowl turned black rapidly as it was tapped. A sinister black hole appeared at the bottom of the bowl, like a whirlpool.

This series of actions takes no more than five seconds.

However, the ghostly aura surrounding Jiang Qiao was like a broken piece of porcelain, covered with countless cracks.

The pressure and malice that permeated the surroundings did not disappear.

That's enough!

Jiang Qiao saw that the fourth executioner's sword had already moved, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be back on the execution ground in the next second.

"roll!"

Despite the terrifying pressure, Jiang Qiao used the Ghost Realm to teleport to the side of the vengeful ghost.

Just as the opponent was raising his sword halfway, he slammed the ceramic bowl directly onto the opponent's head!

"Trash, let me sort it for you!"
