We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 11 The Ghost Wardrobe (Please continue reading)

As far as Lu Ming knew, the source of the ghostly wailing at the grave was the mourning clothes he was wearing and the crying ghost face on his body.

Unlike normal people, the weeping face of the grave-crying ghost is not actually on its face, but is imprinted on the mourning cloth on its head.

Taking the mourning cloth away is not difficult.

The difficulty lies in how to portray the crying face on the mourning cloth.

"The bloodstained old newspaper in the newspaper ghost's hand can remove a person's face and alter their memories. If we could get our hands on that newspaper, we might be able to control the wailing ghost's crying face."

Lu Ming had a general goal in mind.

The current timeframe is shortly after the "starving ghost incident" in Dachang City.

Before the starving ghost incident, Yang Jian's classmate Zhao Lei was replaced by the newspaper ghost and found Yang Jian.

Because those blood-stained old newspapers could suppress Yang Jian's Ghost Eye and Ghost Domain, Yang Jian had always been quite concerned about this matter.

"If I remember correctly, Yang Jian will be led to the dangerous Caesars Hotel next, where the Newspaper Ghost is located."

"Having known all the information beforehand, and being able to appropriately invoke the supernatural power of the mummified bride and the mourning clothes, it shouldn't be too difficult to successfully obtain the bloodstained old newspaper, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

Even so, Lu Ming was still a little scared when he thought about the newspaper ghost he was about to face.

Ghosts only kill according to the rules.

In other words, if one can make good use of the rules among vengeful spirits, one can turn terrifying vengeful spirits into one's own tools.

Humanity's advantage lies in its intelligence.

However, the newspaper ghost in Caesars Palace Hotel is one of the few intelligent and vengeful ghosts.

The terror of such ghosts lies not in their supernatural power, but in the fact that they also employ strategy and may even set traps just waiting for you to fall into them.

"You must not be careless if you want to take the bloodstained old newspaper. Otherwise, one wrong step will lead to utter ruin and there will be no chance of starting over."

As the sun set, the entire city of Dachang was plunged into darkness. The recent fog that struck the city had killed many people and significantly disrupted the normal operations of Dachang.

Lu Ming's mind was clear, and he did not feel sleepy at all.

He sat by the window, gazing at the distant darkness shrouded in mist, lost in thought.

Time passes unconsciously.

Soon, the night was torn apart by the dawn.

It's the second day.

···········
the other side.

After meeting Jiang Yan and Zhang Wei, Yang Jian returned to the old house behind the Guanjiang residential area.

He used his ghost domain to penetrate the second-floor wall of this old Republican-era house and found an old cabinet in a secret room.

"who are you?"

After writing those three words, Yang Jian handed the paper to the cabinet door. The next moment, something grabbed the other end of the paper and kept pulling it inward.

Yang Jian let go, and the paper disappeared into the wooden cabinet.

Less than ten seconds later, the note was passed out again through the gap under the cabinet.

There was only one word written on it.

ghost.

Yang Jian communicated with the ghost cabinet for a while, then frowned and began to think.

At first, he thought this ghost cabinet was another anomaly, like an alternative human skin paper.

However, Yang Jian quickly dismissed this conjecture.

Even the paper doll doesn't have the communication ability of the Ghost Cabinet. Rather than communication, the paper doll is more like a form of guidance for its holder.

After attempting a deal with the ghost cabinet, exchanging dog blood for fried rice, Yang Jian finally understood the ghost's rules.

Traders make requests to the Ghost Chef, who then fulfills those requests; in return, the trader must complete the Ghost Chef's tasks.

Once both parties agree to the terms, a round of trading ends. After the first round of trading concludes, the second round of trading will begin.

The ghost cabinet will take the lead, meaning it will actively make demands, and traders will have to complete the task.

This means that if you want the Ghost Chest to do something for you, you need to meet two conditions.

Most people would feel that exchanging two conditions for one is too unfair, so they continue to make wishes to the haunted cabinet...
This cycle continues indefinitely, with the conditions for the Ghost Chest becoming increasingly difficult to meet, until the trader dies during the mission or is unable to complete it and is killed by the Ghost Chest.

"Help me move the cupboard out."

This is the second condition for the Ghost Cabinet.

Yang Jian suddenly thought, "What will happen to me if I don't fulfill the Ghost Cabinet's conditions?"

After waiting quietly in the secret room for fifteen minutes, a trickle of scarlet blood flowed out from the crack in the ghost cabinet.

The thick, fresh blood quickly coalesced into a mass and continued to spread outwards.

With a familiar creaking sound.

A strange, swollen hand, soaked in water, reached out from the lower cabinet door and tried to open it. Yang Jian immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Inside this haunted closet was a female corpse with her body swollen all over!
Yang Jian quickly moved the entire cabinet out as requested by the ghost cabinet.

"This haunted cabinet is simply exploiting people's greed. Anything related to the supernatural always comes at a price. This thing is just too sinister..."

the next day.

Yang Jian investigated the Shangtong Building, eliminating the foreign forces' agents planted in the country, and also obtained three ghosts.

This gives them some leverage to make a deal with Ghost Shop.

Although he knew that making a deal with the ghost cabinet was like Faust making a deal with the devil.

But just as Lu Ming had expected, Yang Jian was completely intrigued by his classmate "Zhao Lei," or rather, the newspaper ghost, who had suddenly appeared.

Yang Jian ultimately chose to come to the old house from the Republican era, using a ghost as a price to exchange for Zhao Lei's whereabouts.

Less than ten seconds after the conditions were met, a metal plaque fell into the previously empty cabinet door with a clatter.

The doorplate had a number written on it.

13.

The back of the sign reads in a crooked, illegible line: Caesar Hotel, ZS City.

"This doorplate must have been obtained from that place by the ghost cabinet using supernatural means. Zhao Lei should be in the Caesars Hotel right now."

Having learned of Zhao Lei's whereabouts, Yang Jian quietly awaited the Ghost Cabinet's next move.

It is about to propose a second condition.

Just like before, a piece of paper fell into the cabinet, with a line of words written on it in a crooked and messy manner.

"Found within a year."

The photo shows a woman who is incredibly beautiful and has a faint smile on her face. But if you look closely, you'll find that the smile is actually very stiff, like a puppet on strings. It's clearly not an expression that a normal living person could make.

She was wearing a red wedding dress and sitting on a wooden bench with an old door behind her.

Yang Jian was startled and immediately thought of Lu Ming.

"Is the woman in this photo the mummified bride that Lu Ming was riding?"

“No, the body of the mummy bride has completely shriveled up, and there is a strange veil covering her head. The face under the veil may not be this one.”

Even the Ghost Cabinet is nowhere to be found, so it must be extremely difficult for Yang Jian to achieve this condition.

Fortunately, there is still a year left in the deadline.

A year is a long time for a demon tamer.
