Mysterious Resurrection: Red and White Evils

Chapter 79: Fading and Coloring; Black and White Demon Cave
In the blink of an eye, almost two months have passed since the ghost paintings ravaged Dajing City.

During this period, no news about the ghost catcher and ghost painting, or the red and white evil spirits appeared in the outside world.

It seems that people in the paranormal circle have forgotten this paranormal event that once caused a sensation.

In Dadong City, in the ancient residence of the Wang family, a young man with a gloomy face looked at the latest news and smiled bitterly.

"That guy Xu Feng actually brought people to cause trouble for Ghost Eye Yang Jian, and was killed by the other party."

Liu Baimu's face looked extremely ugly. The current Yang Jian was no longer the unknown new ghost rider a few months ago.

Now Yang Jian is one of the twelve captains of the headquarters, known as Yang Jian with Ghost Eyes. He holds a hatchet in one hand and coffin nails in the other. Even Ye Zhen, the number one ghost rider in Asia, has been defeated by him.

At such a critical juncture, their pursuit of survival would cause trouble for Yang Jian, which gave Liu Baimu a real headache.

"I've already said it, that Xu Feng is trouble, and we shouldn't stay with him since he's wanted by Yang Jian."

Beside Liu Baimu, a burly man said in a deep voice.

"It's pointless to say this now."

"The time is almost up. They should be waking up soon. Let's find a way to solve the current trouble first."

Liu Baimu looked deep into the yard. This was the ancient residence of the Wang family. Inside there was an ancient bell that rang every half an hour.

When the bell rings, everything around, including those who are cursed by the ancient bell, will restart.

As the bell rang, several people soon came out.

"Liao Fan, Xu Feng, you guys are in big trouble this time."

A man saw Xu Feng and Liao Fan appear and joked with a smile.

Although Yang Jian has a big reputation, in fact, the people in the survival club are not very afraid of him.

Because in this place, the Wang family's ancient house, they are immortal.

Not to mention that they don't want to die, even if they want to die, they can't die.

"Did I go looking for trouble with Yang Jian? It looks like the ending won't be good."

Xu Feng looked at everyone, listened to their words, and was stunned for a while, finally sorting out everything that might have happened.

"You guys were wiped out by Yang Jian." Liu Baimu walked over at this time.

"According to the information I received, Yang Jian and his men should have already attacked the Wang family's ancient residence."

"So you plan to hand us over?" Looking at Liu Baimu's appearance, Xu Feng asked casually.

"In fact, if the problem can be solved by handing you over, I wouldn't be so worried." Liu Baimu shook his head.

"In short, since the other party is coming to kill us, we must fight with Yang Jian."

"But what I'm really worried about is not this, but a group of ghost riders we don't know have suddenly appeared in Dadong City recently."

Having said that, Liu Baimu paused and took out a palm-sized golden box from his arms.

"This is what I got after I killed a ghost rider yesterday. Everyone, take a look."

Open the golden box and find an old newspaper inside.

"On February 18, 2018, countless paper money fell from the sky over the ancient residence in Dadong City. The city lost its color, and the red and white evil spirits descended again."

"What do you mean? The Red and White Devils?" Looking at an item in the newspaper, Xu Feng's expression changed slightly.

"February 18, 2018, isn't that today?"

He knew that this newspaper was about supernatural events that suddenly occurred two months ago, and it would randomly publish supernatural events from all over the place.

Moreover, any supernatural event published in this newspaper will actually happen in the end.

The emergence of this newspaper helped the headquarters prevent a lot of trouble, but at the same time, it also brought a lot of danger.

It is worth mentioning that this kind of newspaper often only appears in the hands of ghost riders and not in the hands of ordinary people.

"Although I don't know the reason, but the Ghost Newspaper has already published it. Things may change in Dadong City soon."

Liu Baimu looked at the sky, not knowing if it was an illusion, he just felt a flash of red light in the air.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the survival club looked at each other in bewilderment.

Hearing that the Red and White Devils were about to appear, they couldn't help but want to leave, but the curse of the pendulum prevented them from really leaving this place.

"So those people should have come to Dadong City for the matter of the Red and White Devils, right?"

"After all, it's impossible for the headquarters not to know about such big news," Liao Fan guessed.

"Maybe." Liu Baimu shook his head. The power in Dadong City has become increasingly complicated, and now even he feels a little uneasy.

At the same time, in a three-story villa, Zhang Hao was walking inside with the ghost bride.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Zhang Hao always feels that the ghost bride’s thinking has improved a little after completing the ghost painting.

Although we still cannot communicate, at least I can understand more of what Zhang Hao says.

And another thing is that nowadays ghost brides always like to sit at the head of the bed or in front of the dressing table.

Whenever she had nothing to do, she liked to take Zhang Hao's hand and stand in front of the yard gate, as if they were taking pictures, or as if something was painting for her.

Now, a room in this Republic of China villa is filled with portraits of the ghost bride.

Some were standing in front of the dressing table, some were sitting in front of the bed, some were standing in front of the door, and some were at the mourning hall.

After observing for a period of time, Zhang Hao felt that this might be influenced by the residual consciousness in the ghost paintings.

Perhaps the previous bride and the owner of the ghost painting loved taking photos, painting, and dressing up. After letting the ghost bride own the ghost painting, she would imitate these behaviors when she had nothing to do.

As for the improvement of the ghost bride's thinking, Zhang Hao attributed it to the influence of the remaining memories of the previous ghost painting master.

Of course, these changes in thinking logic belong to the ghost bride.

As for Zhang Hao, considerable changes have also taken place in these two months.

First of all, during these two months, he successfully retrieved the ghost coffin and turned it into a mourning hall.

Although the current Ghost Coffin cannot grow due to the lack of Wei Jing, it retains the ability to restart infinitely and suppress mindlessly.

After two months, Zhang Hao has now successfully controlled the ghost catcher by eroding other evil spirits in the ghost catcher's body.

In the funeral hall now, Zhang Hao has the final say.

According to Zhang Hao's guess, after he brings Wei Jing back, he may be able to truly turn the mourning hall evolved from the ghost coffin into a mysterious place.

After obtaining enough evil spirits as nourishment and imprisoning enough evil spirits in Huanggang Village, he will obtain a mysterious place comparable to the red room.

In addition, Zhang Hao also found the area where the old man’s black and white portrait was located in these two months.

What they are doing now is to go looking for the black and white portrait.

Because the areas were divided by General Qin, Zhang Hao spent a lot of time to find this photo.

"Tap Tap!"

As the two walked into the house, footsteps were heard on the second floor, as if someone was walking on the second floor.

However, Zhang Hao didn't care, because he had experienced these situations before.

This time with the ghost bride here, he doesn’t think the old man can still keep out the ghost of the ghost painting.

There was no need to worry about unknown dangers. Zhang Hao quickly led the ghost bride to the second floor of the house.

"Crench!"

Just like last time, when someone approached, it seemed that someone in the room opened the door a little.

Zhang Hao didn't care about it and pushed the door open.

Walking into the second floor, he immediately saw the black and white photo hanging on the wall.

Walking forward and taking down the black and white photo, Zhang Hao did not intend to stay in this place this time.

He planned to return to the mourning hall and stick this black and white photo on the ghost's tablet.

With the mindless suppression of the ghost in the mourning hall, it is more advantageous for Zhang Hao to complete the puzzle there, and it is easier for him to establish his dominant position.

However, it seemed that because Zhang Hao saw the photo, footsteps were soon heard outside the door.

When Zhang Hao looked outside the door, he saw the back of an old man.

At the same time, the color on Zhang Hao's body slowly faded and turned into black and white. "Is this the ghost's killing pattern?"

Recalling the last situation, Zhang Hao guessed the current situation.

Last time, I was attacked by the old man only after I saw his back.

"By the way, besides this, this portrait may also play a key role in this."

Zhang Hao looked at the portrait in his hand. He cried in front of the portrait last time and wanted to control it through the ghost spirit.

Although I didn't cry this time, the old man still showed up.

"Seeing the old man's background pattern of killing, the loss of color is the killing process, and the black and white portrait is the killing method."

"So, this portrait should be a medium, a medium used to trigger the killing pattern."

Zhang Hao quickly figured everything out. The old man's killing pattern was somewhat similar to that of ghost paintings, both of which required someone to have seen the portrait first.

It’s just that this old man saw his back after seeing the old man appear in the photo.

Ghost painting is when, after seeing a portrait, the image of the portrait appears in your mind when you recall it.

While Zhang Hao was thinking, the color on his body had almost faded.

However, he was not photographed by the old man like he was last time.

Because on Zhang Hao's right hand, a white hand was holding his hand.

As the color faded from Zhang Hao's body, streams of color continued to flow into his body from the arms that were held together with the ghost bride.

However, the colors of these colors are somewhat different from Zhang Hao’s original skin color. These new colors make his skin look more painted.

This made Zhang Hao, whose skin was originally rough and dull, look somewhat similar to the ghost bride beside him.

"This old man is erasing my colors, while the ghost bride is coloring me through the ghost painting's spirit?"

Zhang Hao felt the constantly changing color of his body and made a judgment in his heart.

With the Ghost Bride taking action, there is nothing to worry about this time.

At least when facing this ghost, the ghost bride has the means to restrain the opponent.

Of course, on the other hand, this old man also controls the ghost painting, one is coloring and the other is fading. Now it depends on whose supernatural power is greater.

The invisible confrontation continued, and it seemed that because of the long-term confrontation, the ghost bride's supernatural powers had become somewhat confused.

Sometimes she would actually stain Zhang Hao's white mourning clothes red, but fortunately such mistakes were rare.

Moreover, Zhang Hao could also feel that the bride's supernatural powers were not suppressed by the old man.

According to Zhang Hao's guess, the reason why his mourning clothes were sometimes dyed red was probably due to the bride's instinct, not because of the bride's spiritual disorder.

This is when the bride was painting Zhang Hao's skin. Sometimes, due to instinct, she inadvertently painted him red, the color that represents the groom.

It's like Yang Jian, who is riding a headless ghost, has the urge to chop off someone's head when he stands behind them.

In fact, even Zhang Hao himself had a similar impulse. When he saw those people crying and kneeling, he instinctively wanted to kill them.

Of course, no matter what color the ghost bride turns into, the old man will immediately wipe off the color on Zhang Hao's body.

The old man himself was no less terrifying, and this confrontation lasted for a long time.

In the end, it was Zhang Hao who couldn't help it first.

He directly transferred Huanggang Village here through the ghost cave painted by the ghost.

As the scene outside changed, footsteps were soon heard outside.

Four strange figures in white mourning clothes were carrying a coffin and walking towards the three-story western-style building.

These four ghosts are four evil ghosts captured by the Ghost Messenger besides Wei Jing, and each of them has the ability to suppress one of the Ghost Messenger's ghosts.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The coffin was quickly carried into the small western-style building, and dull footsteps were heard in the stairwell.

Zhang Hao was controlling the four ghosts to carry the ghost coffin upstairs. He planned to suppress the black and white portrait directly through the ghost.

However, at this time, the small Western-style building also changed.

The entire small western-style building looked like it had been abandoned for countless years. The whole house began to age, and the furniture, which was originally simple in style but still bright in color, began to fade at this moment.

Everything in the house looked like the images broadcast on black and white TVs in the 1980s and 1990s.

The evil ghosts that were originally carrying the ghost coffin upstairs began to fade at this time, like people who were about to disappear.

(Many readers think that the ghost coffin is black, but it is actually red. The author deliberately took a look at it for this reason.)
(Both the first chapter of the original novel [The Disappearing Two] and the 438th chapter [The Terror That Was Completed] clearly mention vermilion lacquer.)
(This also rules out the possibility that the ghost coffin was originally black and was painted red by Wang Xiaoming.)
Fortunately, evil ghosts themselves will not die. Although the colors of these ghosts have faded, they still carried the ghost coffin and walked into the corridor on the second floor.

As they entered the corridor on the second floor, the ghost catcher's unstoppable suppression ability began to be demonstrated, and the faded colors on the four evil ghosts carrying the coffin began to return.

However, at the door of the small room on the second floor, near the old man, there seemed to be a circle of invisible ghosts resisting the arrival of the ghost catcher.

Even though the four ghosts kept carrying the coffin forward, they were still unable to get close to the old man.

The mindless suppression of the ghost messenger is indeed terrifying and unsolvable, but there is also a prerequisite, which is that you need to be within the range that triggers the mindless suppression.

Any supernatural power needs a triggering medium. When the ghost's lair is suppressed, the ability of mindless suppression naturally cannot be triggered.

"Bride, let's go over there."

Zhang Hao looked at the blocked ghost coffin and planned to move forward holding the bride's hand.

However, the ghost bride who was fighting against the black and white portrait at this time did not move forward.

"Uh? Because you are in the middle of a confrontation, you can't understand what I mean?"

Seeing paper ashes falling from the sky and the ghost painting's ghost cave fighting against the old man's ghost cave, Zhang Hao reacted.

The ghost bride's logical thinking was not strong to begin with, and her communication ability was further weakened when she was fighting against a terrifying ghost.

"Forget it, in that case, I'll do it myself."

Zhang Hao's figure disappeared from the spot, and the next moment, he appeared on the ghost coffin.

Zhang Hao took out the ghost spirit tablet, pasted the black and white photo on it, and then placed the ghost spirit tablet on the ghost coffin.

In an instant, the fading colors in the small house began to slowly return, and the black and white ghost den that was fighting the ghost bride also dissipated at this moment.

The ghost used the portrait pasted on the ghost seat as a medium to suppress the old man in the black and white portrait.

As the black and white portrait was suppressed, the small house soon disappeared and turned into a mourning hall.

“Even this small western-style building was derived from a photo?”

Zhang Hao was a little surprised. He originally thought that the evil spirit was this photo and this old man, but he didn't expect that this small Western-style building was also part of the photo.

But he quickly realized that the small Western-style building should be a background similar to a ghost painting.

Just like the building derived from the background in the ghost painting, the small Western-style building is also a building derived from the old man’s photo.

Without the ghost to resist, the ghost bride slowly walked to Zhang Hao and held his hand.

Perhaps because of the influence of the ghost painting, Zhang Hao could sense that the ghost bride now liked to hold his hand more.

It was obvious that in the beginning, the ghost bride was not like she is now, holding his hand all the time. Most of the time, she would only take the initiative to hold Zhang Hao's hand when something happened.

Either Zhang Hao himself held the ghost bride's hand, otherwise, once they let go, the ghost bride would not hold his hand for no reason.

Of course, it is also possible that the ghost bride's body remembered this habit because of the long-term hand holding.

Zhang Hao remembered that the reason why some evil ghosts imitated the behavior of the ghost handlers when they were alive was because the ghost handlers had been doing certain things for a long time and formed muscle memory.

Zhang Hao has been the ghost bride's ghost slave for more than three months, which is neither long nor short. It is enough time for the ghost bride to develop the muscle memory of holding hands.

Of course, Zhang Hao doesn’t care much about this kind of thing.

After holding the bride's hand out of habit, he began to study the black and white photo.

After being suppressed by the ghost, Zhang Hao successfully controlled the black and white photo through the ghost spirit.

At the same time, Zhang Hao also felt that he had an additional ability that he had never had before.

As Zhang Hao thought about it, everything around him began to lose color, and a black and white ghost den was released by him.

This is the ghost cave in the photo, which has the ability to make everything inside the ghost cave lose its color.
