Mysterious Resurrection: Red and White Evils

Chapter 72 The Red Dress I Think About Day and Night
"Are you finally unable to resist?"

Zhang Hao looked outside the house. He heard the noise coming from the back hall and the words of Liu San, Li Jun and others, but he had no intention of attacking them.

Not even the ghost bride had the intention to attack.

Because at this time, the ghost catcher's den seemed no longer able to resist the erosion of the ghost painting.

There were portraits hanging everywhere on the walls of the surrounding houses, and even some things like picture frames were scattered on the ground.

Some of the frames are incomplete, some are broken, in short, there is no safe place here anymore.

These are not door gods posted on houses, but rather strange portraits of the dead. Although they are blurry, one can still sense the strange spiritual power contained in them.

"Bride, the ghost painting is coming."

Zhang Hao slowly stood up and walked to the door.

I don't know when, but two portraits have been pasted on the two wooden doors of the mourning hall.

What was even more strange was that, out of nowhere, paper ashes began to fall from the sky.

As the paper ashes fell, the road had been completely divided by the paper ashes.

The paper ash on the road in front of the house piled up into a thick layer and began to fall towards the houses on both sides - ghost paintings began to invade these houses.

Suddenly, a portrait fell from the sky and landed on the open space in front of the mourning hall.

Zhang Hao looked at the portrait and slowly picked it up.

There seemed to be some dust on the portrait, obscuring some of the content. He gently wiped the dust off, trying to reveal some of the content next to the portrait.

However, after he wiped the portrait clean, he was stunned for a moment.

The background of this portrait is a dark, unlit house.

The door to the first floor of the house was open, and it was pitch black inside, exactly the same as the mourning hall he was in now. The portrait seemed to have been taken at the door of the house.

However, his attention was not on the identical background house, but on the two figures standing strangely in the portrait, one red and one white.

A white figure wearing a face veil was holding the red figure with a veil on his head and standing at the door of the mourning hall.

But the strangest thing is that from the outside the mourning hall should be dark inside, but this photo clearly shows everything inside the mourning hall.

A vermilion coffin was placed on two wooden benches, with a burning brazier underneath, and a lot of copper coins that had not been completely burned in the brazier.

In front of the coffin was a square table, on which were several glasses of bright red wine and a painted portrait of a woman.

"Portrait?"

Zhang Hao frowned and turned his head sharply to look behind him.

Sure enough, at some point, the ghost spirit position was invaded by ghost paintings.

The photo that originally belonged to Zhang Hao on the memorial tablet suddenly turned into a photo of a beautiful woman, but her face was a little blurry.

Ghost paintings have the ability to invade any painting. The ghost spirit position is placed in front of the ghost coffin, which completely becomes a medium for ghost paintings to invade.

Zhang Hao looked at the spirit tablet, thinking about various possibilities in his mind.

The spirit tablet in front of me is definitely not the original ghost painting.

Because the main body of the ghost painting has been nailed down by a golden candlestick, it is impossible to actually enter the painting.

Although he is now in the ghost catcher's lair, he is also in the ghost painting's lair. The ghost painting cannot really appear in front of him.

"Do you want to follow the spirit tablet and look for the ghost painting?"

Zhang Hao fell into deep thought.

Once he leaves the ghost catcher's lair, it will not be easy for him to successfully control the ghost coffin.

On one side is the ghost coffin which is almost completely under control, except for the ghost messenger which he fails to control.

On one side was the ghost painting that he had not yet mastered, which made Zhang Hao hesitate for a moment.

But soon, Zhang Hao made a decision.

His instinct as a ghost slave made him give up the idea of ​​strengthening himself first and choose to complete the puzzle for the bride first.

This is an instinct that cannot be controlled. It is also the core and underlying logic that prevents Zhang Hao from becoming a ghost slave and having this consciousness destroyed by the ghost bride.

Helping the ghost bride grow is his core goal.

The moment the two came into conflict, core logic overcame his instincts.

Furthermore, as long as you master the ghost painting, it is not difficult to find the ghost catcher in the ghost den of the ghost painting.

It’s just that the ghost bride hasn’t yet mastered the ghost painting, so it would be very troublesome to move in the ghost painting’s lair.

"Brides, follow me."

Zhang Hao took the bride's hand and took back the blood wine he was driving. He took a look at the ghost coffin, and quickly took the ghost spirit tablet and came to the portrait that had both Zhang Hao and the ghost bride in it.

It's not just the ghost bride who's looking for ghost paintings.

After successfully invading the ghost catcher's lair and sensing the existence of the ghost bride, the ghost painting also began looking for the ghost bride.

However, because the ghost painting could not truly enter the world within the painting, she could only continuously invade the mourning hall area where the ghost bride was, and derived various portraits here.

If you want to leave the ghost den of ghost painting, there is only one way if the ghost den cannot defeat the ghost painting.

That is to leave through derivative portraits.

As Zhang Hao and the bride walked out of the mourning hall, the painting in front of them suddenly became much larger, and the supernatural power on it changed.

Not only that, even the content of the painting has undergone tremendous changes.

The entrance to the mourning hall where Zhang Hao and the ghost bride were standing suddenly enlarged until it covered the entire portrait and finally turned into something like a picture frame.

This was because the ghost painting sensed that the ghost bride had left the mourning hall and instinctively attracted the ghost bride, causing the portrait held by Zhang Hao to undergo strange changes.

Zhang Hao just stared at the painting, and suddenly he realized that the red and white standing figures in the painting suddenly disappeared from the painting, leaving only a dark mourning hall.

Zhang Hao came back to his senses and looked around. He found that the position of himself and the ghost bride had changed at some point.

Previously, he and the ghost bride were clearly standing in front of the mourning hall, but now they were standing on an open space.

And a road suddenly appeared under his feet. This road connected to a city avenue in the distance, as if leading him into the dead city.

However, the road that appeared was twisted and irregular, as if it was drawn with a random stroke.

Without giving it much thought, Zhang Hao took the ghost bride towards the big city shrouded in darkness in the distance, which was the center of the ghost painting.

After you get to that place, find a painting and go out, and you should be able to see the ghost painting.

As he walked forward, he found that the world of ghost paintings looked very large.

But in fact, when you walk, the city that was originally far away quickly appears in front of you. This situation is very unreasonable, and the sense of distance seems to have changed.

This seems to be the ability of the ghost, which is described in the book.

But Zhang Hao himself has no ghost, so he doesn't understand it very well.

As they continued to move forward, Zhang Hao and the ghost bride soon walked into a dead city.

Walking on the deserted and silent street, he suddenly stopped and looked into a shop on the street next to him.

He could feel that there seemed to be something looking at him over there.

There must be something that triggered Zhang Hao's killing pattern.

In this place, Zhang Hao did not suppress his own killing thoughts, and looked in that direction.

Soon, whimpering sounds were heard from inside.

Zhang Hao walked over and realized that this was not the ghost in the ghost painting, but a person.

A European and American woman with golden hair, with a sorrowful look on her face and tears in her eyes, was kneeling continuously.

"So he's a living person. But he actually dared to keep looking at me after noticing that something was wrong. He's very brave."

Zhang Hao did not have any thoughts because of the death of this European and American woman, nor did he have any thoughts of exploring the survivor base where the European and American woman was.

Many people did not die after being drawn into the world of ghost paintings.

There is food and drinking water in the world of ghost paintings. As long as you are not unlucky enough to be killed by evil spirits, you can live in the world of paintings for a lifetime.

Obviously, this woman is the one with less luck.

Since you are clearly living in a world of painting, you should already know that the source of the ghost painting is the woman in red.

When he saw Zhang Hao and the ghost bride, he didn't run away. Instead, he kept looking at them curiously.

As they continued to move forward, Zhang Hao and the ghost bride soon discovered an old building.

This is a residential building in a European or American country. Behind the narrow gate, a deep corridor extends into the house.

You can vaguely see the stairs in the dim environment winding and turning, connecting the upper and lower floors together.

This seems to be the core location of the ghost painting world.

Walking into the narrow, dim and depressing corridor of the building, a cold and damp breath hits you in the face.

It can be seen that this house is quite old and has not been renovated, so it looks particularly shabby.

Even though it was abroad, and even though Zhang Hao didn't know much about foreign countries, he could guess that this should be a building from the last century.

"Crench!"

When I stepped on the stairs, the wooden stairs made a grinding sound, which echoed up and down the floors, and seemed particularly strange and eerie. As the ghost bride also walked up the stairs, the sound came from upstairs again.

Zhang Hao listened to the voice and raised his head.

The sound did not come from the steps under my feet, but from upstairs.

In other words, there was someone upstairs who stepped on the stairs at the same time as they walked up them.

"No, it should be a ghost."

Zhang Hao did not hesitate. He held the bride's hand with one hand and raised the other hand.

When faced with this kind of unknown evil spirit, summoning the ghost is always the simplest way.

As Zhang Hao continued to wave his hands, a creaking sound was heard again from upstairs, as if something was coming downstairs.

The sound soon reached the steps in front of Zhang Hao, but strangely, Zhang Hao did not see anyone.

This was an invisible ghost. Zhang Hao tried to get it off the stairs, but failed.

This ghost must have some relationship with this wooden staircase.

"Let's go."

After confirming the situation of the evil spirit, Zhang Hao did not care about it any longer and took the bride up the stairs.

The ghost has been controlled by the summoning ghost. For a short period of time, even if they do not summon the ghost and violate the ghost's killing pattern, they will not be attacked.

Walking up the stairs, Zhang Hao and the ghost bride came to the second floor.

The second floor was made of cement and there was no danger. Zhang Hao took a few looks and then continued to take the ghost bride upstairs.

They walked all the way to the fourth floor and encountered several ghosts, but none of them attacked Zhang Hao and the ghost bride.

Evil ghosts will also seek benefits and avoid harm. Given the difference in the degree of terror, as long as they do not violate the other party's killing rules, those ghosts will instinctively stay away from ghosts that are more terrifying than themselves.

Zhang Hao saw some modern clothes on these ghosts.

These should be the ghosts that were killed by the ghost rider in this place and wandered around this building after being resurrected.

Because of the existence of these ghosts, Zhang Hao became more certain that this place was the core of the ghost painting world.

Zhang Hao brought his bride to a room on the fourth floor and began looking for ghost paintings.

But the moment he pushed the door open, he immediately heard the sound of something falling to the ground behind the door, as if the action of opening the door just now had hit something in the room.

Zhang Hao looked down and was stunned.

That's a painting.

There is nothing in the painting but pitch black. At first glance, it looks like a piece of black paper is framed. There is no pattern or scenery on it.

But unlike ordinary black paper, the black on this painting is thick and thin, and the black shadow changes with the movement of light, sometimes like a palm, and sometimes like the outline of a human face hidden in the darkness.

But more often than not, the two black spots in the painting are like a pair of black pupils, peering in the dark.

It's a very strange painting, but it's not a ghost painting.

There may be a ghost hidden in this painting, or a ghost is hiding in the frame waiting for the opportunity to leave.

"Is he trapped inside? Or is it a ghost related to the painting?"

Zhang Hao stared at the painting for a long time, and finally decided to pick up the painting first and then check the situation in the room.

However, the moment he turned his head and saw the situation in the room clearly, he was stunned.

The walls of the room, and even the ceiling, are covered with various paintings of different sizes.

The contents of the paintings are different, but there is only one thing in common, that is, the backgrounds of these paintings are dark and depressing.

"Are all of these people ghosts?"

Zhang Hao could feel that many of these paintings contained evil spirits.

"So, this painting isn't about a ghost related to the painting, but a ghost trapped in the painting?"

Zhang Hao took a look at the painting he picked up and immediately threw it on the ground.

This is just a ghost imprisoned by a portrait in a ghost painting, and it is of no help to me.

On the contrary, it is this room that displays various strange paintings, and the frame of the source of the ghost painting is very likely to be in this room.

Observing the paintings above, Zhang Hao soon saw a familiar painting.

The stairs in the painting are exactly the same as the wooden stairs I just stepped on. No, this painting was drawn based on those stairs.

This is the place I just walked through.

“The ghost painting should be a world in the painting pieced together by these paintings in the room.”

Zhang Hao looked at the paintings above. In addition to the staircase painting just now, Zhang Hao also discovered many places he had walked through.

Soon, a special painting appeared before his eyes.

The painting shows a gray sky, under which a village nestled in the fields is faintly visible.

The village was painted with black dye, and it was blurry, with only a rough outline.

But Zhang Hao felt very familiar with everything about that village. The outlines of many houses in the village were pieced together, forming a vague shape of a coffin in the distance.

Moreover, there is a sign in the most conspicuous place of the painting. There are three words written on the sign, but the handwriting is blurred and only a certain village can be roughly identified.

This should be the name of a village.

He was very familiar with this village, and he was even more familiar with the coffin-shaped ghost area. This was Huanggang Village where Zhang Hao and the ghost bride were previously.

At this time, it was also painted by the ghost and pieced together to form part of the world in the painting.

In addition to the ghost, Zhang Hao also saw a painting that was worthy of his attention. The background of the painting was an old rural bungalow with an old man standing at the door of the bungalow.

The old man's figure is blurry, his clothes are neat, and although his facial features are not clearly outlined, it can still be seen that the old man has a smile on his face and seems to be looking over here.

The original painting, combined with the background and the old man with a strange smile, instantly gives people the feeling of facing a deceased portrait.

"A ghost related to funerals or portraits."

"If I can master ghost painting in the future, I must go to this place to take a look." Zhang Hao was very interested in this ghost.

He felt that if he went to the place where the portrait of the old man was, it would definitely be helpful to him.

Zhang Hao memorized the portraits of the ghost and the old man, and then walked into the house.

Soon, a painting much larger than the others appeared before him.

The painting is very long, hanging from the roof all the way to the feet.

The background of the painting is high-rise buildings, but what is actually painted is a single building.

A building shrouded in a dark world.

This building has seven floors in total. It is exactly the same as this one.

What concerned Zhang Hao the most was that there was a ghost standing at the downstairs door of the building.

This ghost is very familiar. It is wearing red clothes. Although its facial features are blurry, it should be a woman. Its hands are white, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

"Ghost painting! Downstairs? How is that possible?"

Zhang Hao was a little confused, as the real body of the ghost painting should not be able to appear in the world of the painting.

Each painting here actually corresponds to a scene in the world of ghost paintings.

Once you come to the scene depicted in the painting, you will most likely encounter the evil spirits wandering around that place.

But the scene in the painting is not always the same; the content of the painting will constantly change according to what actually happens.

But soon, after Zhang Hao walked out of the house, he saw the figure he had been thinking about day and night.

There was a strange woman in red standing at the door on the first floor. She was walking slowly upstairs on the wooden steps.

The moment Zhang Hao saw the woman in red downstairs, the ghost bride also came out.

Through Zhang Hao, she also noticed the woman in red outside.

However, Zhang Hao, who was standing at the door and watching the women going upstairs, soon noticed something unusual.

That thing didn’t feel that scary to Zhang Hao, it wasn’t the source ghost.

“So it’s just a derived ghost painting?”

"But it's fine. Let the bride get the spirit of this derivative ghost painting first. It will be easier for her to take the lead when she fights against the ghost painting later."

Although the Ghost Bride and the Ghost Painting are both unintelligent, the two ghosts will still compete for dominance when they are completed.

Zhang Hao naturally hopes that his bride can be the dominant one.

It’s not because there is any difference to him whether the bride is controlled by the ghost painting or the ghost painting is controlled by the bride; both are the same.

It’s just because Zhang Hao is now the ghost slave of the ghost bride, not the ghost slave of the ghost painting.

That's why he helped the ghost bride to take the lead.

　Let's set a new rule for adding more chapters. Since the number of updates is quite high due to the daily increase of 10,000, the new rule is just a bonus and quite harsh. After all, each additional chapter is 5,000 words, which takes a long time to finish. It's too easy for the author to die suddenly.

　　New rules for adding more chapters: one more chapter for every 500 monthly votes, and one more chapter for every 100 yuan in rewards.
