Mysterious Resurrection: Red and White Evils

Chapter 156 Red and Green Candles, Using Ghosts as Wax

Zhang Hao walked around the deserted village, suppressed the evil ghost outside the village, and used the ghost to control it.

After dealing with almost a dozen ghosts, Zhang Hao's own suppression quota increased by another twenty or so.

Suddenly, the forest, which had been barely able to see the surroundings because of the dim green candlelight, became dark.

An inexplicable darkness appeared in the forest.

Obviously, the forest was already dark without the light, but it felt inexplicably even darker ahead.

It seemed to be some kind of dark light.

Zhang Hao raised his head and looked in the direction where the darkness came from.

That was the direction of the mountain village. The red candles in the village, which were almost as tall as a person, had now completely fallen into darkness.

Deep in the mountain village, a strange dark light is emanating.

Faintly, Zhang Hao could still feel a strange attraction, as if there was some kind of puzzle in the mountain village ahead that had a strong attraction to Zhang Hao.

"Have you changed the candles?"

Zhang Hao was not very surprised by this.

The situation in this village is special, as it is divided into day and night.

During the day, the red candles in the village would be lit, emitting a faint green light.

These lights have similar effects to red ghost candles, but their effects are stronger than those of red ghost candles.

At night, white candles in the village are lit, emitting black candlelight.

These white candles have the same ability as the white ghost candles, and can constantly attract evil spirits into the village.

This village is a special prison.

The white candles can be continuously lit to emit black light that attracts evil spirits, leading some evil spirits that accidentally wander into the mountains and forests to this village.

During the day, the village would light red candles to isolate the evil spirits in the village and prevent them from leaving.

Moreover, this village seems to have a special kind of spiritual power, which can make some evil spirits into various ghost candles.

In this case, the village can continuously restrict the evil spirits from entering the village.

All in all, this can be considered a very clever spooky place for imprisoning evil spirits.

Continuously making evil spirits into ghost candles can prevent the growth of evil spirits in supernatural places.

It can also prevent other evil spirits in the village from colliding with and controlling each other, thereby growing away from the village and disrupting the balance here.

Zhang Hao did not resist this inexplicable attraction and just walked towards the direction of the village.

Although the supernatural forces in the village were special, they could not completely suppress him.

As he continued moving forward, Zhang Hao soon walked into the village.

There are many houses with open doors in the village. Looking inside those houses, you can see some figures standing motionless inside.

When you get near the house, you will find that the figures inside the house are covered with a layer of wax.

These evil ghosts are the raw materials for making candles. After a certain period of time, these ghosts will be made into a candle that is almost as tall as a human.

This is also the main reason why the village has not gotten out of control until now.

These houses are like individual processing plant production rooms.

As Zhang Hao looked over, he could see that the wax paint on the people in the house became brighter.

It was as if there was an invisible person brushing wax for the people in these houses over and over again.

Without staying here for too long, after looking around for a while, Zhang Hao continued to walk towards the depths.

Although this dark light is special and can attract evil spirits, it is undoubtedly also a medium for Zhang Hao.

As long as you follow this black light deeper into the place, you will definitely reach the source of the black candlelight.

As we got deeper into the village, the number of evil spirits wandering around in the village began to increase.

Fortunately, these things do not pose much threat to Zhang Hao.

Any evil spirit that dares to approach Zhang Hao will be suppressed by him, and then controlled by him using the ghost catcher's supernatural powers.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Hao quickly walked into a special room in the center of the village.

This is an old two-story wooden house.

The first floor was empty, with many strange dark shadows wandering around in the house.

Apparently, each figure wandering here represents a terrifying ghost that has been attracted to this village.

Every evil spirit that can walk into this two-story wooden house must be extremely terrifying.

Because there are many other evil spirits outside the village, weak ghosts would have come into contact with and conflicts with other evil spirits before entering here, and would have been either suppressed or controlled.

Zhang Hao walked into the room. The dim room seemed particularly depressing because of the lingering evil spirit.

Even the eerie darkness emanating from upstairs could not completely cover the entire room in this room.

There are too many evil spirits. Countless of them stand together, and the supernatural aura on their bodies has become extremely terrifying invisibly superimposed.

This also resulted in the supernatural effect of the black candlelight being reduced to the extreme for them.

In such a place and position, even Zhang Hao could not act recklessly before launching infinite superposition.

Walking in the corridor leading to the second floor, Zhang Hao could feel his breath beginning to contract instinctively.

He instinctively avoided coming into contact with too many evil spirits, which might cause him to be attacked by other evil spirits.

It's not that I'm afraid, but there's no need to create any unnecessary trouble before getting the candlestick that can be used to make candles.

It is a very stupid behavior to start destroying the balance in the spiritual land before the goal is achieved.

Even though most of the supernatural places are restricted by these seven elders and people of the same level.

But after so many years, even if these seven elders were to start over again, they would still not be able to face the spiritual place that is completely out of control.

After all, the supernatural carries uncertainty.

In a mysterious place where countless evil spirits are imprisoned, no one is sure what kind of horrible things will appear after such a long time has passed.

Even though the situation in this village is special, being able to turn evil spirits into candles can avoid the problem of evil spirits controlling each other to a certain extent.

But as long as it is a supernatural place, losing control is inevitable.

After such a long time, there are many evil spirits that have grown up unexpectedly.

Zhang Hao walked towards the second floor while looking at the evil ghost on the first floor.

Soon, he noticed several noteworthy figures.

One of the figures was blue and black all over, half of his body was rotten, and some blood clots would fall to the ground from time to time.

There are many evil spirits around his body.

Whenever blood fell from the figure's body, these evil spirits would scramble to grab the flesh and blood on the ground.

That flesh and blood seemed to carry some extremely special spiritual power, and had a very strong effect on evil spirits.

Even when Zhang Hao saw the flesh and blood falling on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a desire to eat it.

However, after Zhang Hao's observation, those evil spirits that ate the flesh and blood.

Although their recovery level has improved a lot in a short period of time.

But soon these evil spirits will become quiet, and eventually their bodies will rot and turn into a new ball of flesh to be swallowed by the rotten figure.

Every time a ghost swallows a meat ball transformed from a vicious ghost, the ghost's body will become a little bloated. The fat on the body seems to be drawn out at this time, and new flesh and blood will grow again.

When the newly grown flesh and blood reaches a certain size, it will fall off to the ground like before.

"This is a ghost that can continue to grow."

While Zhang Hao was staring at the ghost, the ghost seemed to have noticed Zhang Hao's gaze.

He raised his half-rotten face, and his cold, numb, empty eyeballs stared straight in the direction of Zhang Hao.

After Zhang Hao noticed the other party's gaze, he looked in another direction.

There, there was an illusory figure.

It was a fierce ghost that did not exist in reality, emitting a gloomy aura, and there were several ghosts beside him in contact with him.

But the strange thing was that the ghost's body seemed to be non-existent, allowing the bodies of these evil spirits to pass through it.

"Too many ghosts have been attracted to this village."

"Although the red and white candles can be used to restrict the evil spirits from leaving, the red candlestick can also continuously produce new ghost candles, thereby enhancing the supernatural effect in the mountain village."

"But even so, the weak evil spirits are always the first to be made into candles. The strong evil spirits will not be suppressed at all in this mountain village."

"In this case, while this village is attracting evil spirits and restricting them from leaving, it is also equivalent to constantly helping these more terrifying evil spirits find puzzle pieces."

Zhang Hao only looked at it for a moment and made a judgment in his heart. This kind of place is not suitable for a ghost with unlimited growth ability.

As long as you can withstand the level of terror you possess, you will not be suppressed by other evil spirits immediately after entering.

After that, this village became a place where endless evil spirits grew up.

Even Zhang Hao now can achieve tremendous growth after staying in this village for a period of time.

However, compared to devouring the evil spirit and increasing the suppression quota, it is obviously more important to go upstairs and get the red candlestick.

Zhang Hao walked through the corridor surrounded by evil spirits. Whenever he encountered some evil spirits attacking him, he would immediately suppress and control them using the supernatural power of the coffin nails.

Soon, he completely crossed the corridor and arrived at the staircase.

There were several ghosts standing in front of the entrance to the corridor.

These ghosts seemed to be attracted by the black candlelight upstairs and wanted to go upstairs.

But they seemed to be isolated by some mysterious spirit, preventing them from actually stepping onto the stairs.

Zhang Hao stood at the foot of the stairs and watched, but he was not in a hurry to go upstairs.

This is the second peculiar arrangement of this village.

At night, the black candlelight on the second floor will constantly attract evil spirits.

But this kind of candlelight is different from the disposable white ghost candles at the headquarters.

The black light of the candles burning here carries some special spirituality.

They can welcome evil spirits, but at the same time prevent them from actually stepping into the black candlelight.

This situation is very similar to when Zhang Hao encountered a white lantern in the haunted house.

However, compared to the white lanterns that can transform between white and red, the candles here obviously have fixed abilities.

Black candlelight attracts ghosts, but it can also prevent evil spirits from entering.

The dim green candlelight can isolate the supernatural, and even less terrifying evil spirits will become unable to move when in the dim green candlelight.

Although the effect is similar to the red and white ghost candle, it is more like an enhanced version.

However, the red and white candles here are also more difficult to make. They require real evil spirits as raw materials, and they also need to be combined with other supernatural products.

The stronger the effect, the stronger the side effects.

Once the candle burns out, the evil spirit will revive.

If you want to go to the second floor, you have to wait until daytime.

At night, the black candlelight attracts ghosts, but the evil spirits cannot enter the source.

During the day, the green candlelight keeps away evil spirits, and without the attraction of the black candlelight, the evil spirits will not walk into the second floor for no reason.

Occasionally, some people would mistakenly enter the second floor and be suppressed by the spirits inside and turned into new candles.

Zhang Hao stood there motionless, occasionally swallowing some evil spirits that approached him.

As time passed, the black candlelight upstairs began to fade.

Another rotation time in the village has passed, and now it is daytime.

Without the attraction of the black ghost candle, some evil spirits began to walk away because the spiritual atmosphere here was too strong.

This is caused by the evil ghosts' instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. There are too many evil ghosts here, and the superimposed aura makes every ghost instinctively feel the danger.

However, Zhang Hao did not leave with these evil ghosts. When these ghosts evacuated, he started walking towards the second floor.

Without the isolation of the black candlelight, the invisible obstacle on the stairs disappeared, and Zhang Hao passed through the corridor smoothly.

When you walk to the second floor of the wooden house, all you see are white candles.

Among those white candles, you can barely see some vague black shadows.

Those seemed to be evil spirits sealed in the candles.

The lighting of this kind of candle obviously means that the evil spirit is used as firewood for the candle.

Zhang Hao looked deeper into the house.

Some of the candles had already burned out by now, and a strange-looking ghost with its eyes closed appeared in Zhang Hao's eyes.

It was an evil ghost whose body from the neck down was sealed in the candle. At this moment, his eyes were closed and only his head was above the candle.

The evil ghost's head had a unique waxy luster, as if it had just been coated with a layer of wax.

Zhang Hao then looked in other directions and found many situations similar to this ghost.

The only difference is that some of them had half of their bodies inside the candles, while some of them had almost their entire bodies exposed, with only a pair of feet still inside the candles.

Obviously, the moment the wax on their bodies completely melts, the evil spirits trapped in the candles will wake up.

Zhang Hao walked on the wooden planks on the second floor, and the old templates made a creaking sound.

As Zhang Hao walked, a layer of wax began to appear on the ground unknowingly.

As Zhang Hao stepped on the wax, the wax strangely began to climb up Zhang Hao's body.

"Want to make me into a candle too?"

Zhang Hao glanced at the deepest corner of the second floor, where there was an old table with a red candlestick on it.

The candlestick is red all over and looks like it is made of wood. There are traces of burning on the grooves.

There are four grooves in the candlestick, two of which show signs of burning, and the other two seem to have contained kerosene used as fuel.

Perhaps it should be said that it is wax oil, but because the wax oil has not solidified at this time, it looks a bit like kerosene.

There are two types of wax oil, red and white respectively.

This thing looks like an ordinary candlestick with a strange style at most.

But at this moment, one of the grooves with wax on the candlestick was constantly leaking white wax, highlighting the weirdness of this thing.

After the wax oil fell to the ground, it quickly condensed into a thick layer of white wax, which began to flow towards Zhang Hao.

But at this time Zhang Hao was not panicked at all.

But suddenly, cold and dark lake water appeared under Zhang Hao's feet.

The lake water began to spread around with Zhang Hao as the center.

These lake waters carried some extremely terrifying spiritual power, and as the lake water spread, the wax in the house began to become paler at this time.

And it was clearly just a shallow layer of water stains, which couldn't even cover the soles of Zhang Hao's shoes.

But as this layer of lake water appeared, all the candles on the second floor that sealed the evil spirits began to fall downwards.

It's like a bottomless lake.

Zhang Hao walked on the lake. As the lake water covered him, the layer of wax on the second floor began to float up strangely.

It was like a layer of oil stains appeared on the surface of the lake without anyone noticing.

This didn't last long.

As the ghost lake's magic began to take effect, the layer of oil floating on the water surface began to fall to the bottom of the lake.

The first confrontation between Red Candlestick and Zhang Hao obviously ended with Red Candlestick's defeat.

However, the confrontation between the two sides obviously did not end there.

After the white wax could no longer pose a threat to Zhang Hao, the red wax in the groove of another candlestick also began to flow out of the groove.

As soon as the wax oil came into contact with the lake water, a thick layer of red wax appeared on the surface of the lake.

This layer of wax floated on the surface of the lake, seeming to carry some special magical power. Wherever the wax went, the influence of the lake water began to disappear.

"Does the wax inherit the effect of the green candlelight?"

Zhang Hao looked at the layer of red wax and felt curious.

He couldn't help but have a ball of green will-o'-the-wisp in his hand.

This is the ghost fire in Li Jun's hand. After Li Jun was eaten by him with the spirit of a starving ghost, Zhang Hao also controlled this spirit.

However, Zhang Hao currently has no intention of developing this kind of will-o'-the-wisp.

He now has too many supernatural powers and has no time to develop them.

After all, developing each supernatural power takes time, and he needs to find these supernatural puzzles to get more media for him.

And to put it bluntly, there is nothing to be developed about things like will-o'-the-wisp.

The more fuel you can provide, the stronger the will-o'-the-wisp will naturally become.

The fuel available is insufficient, so even if you use it to the sky, its power will be limited.
