Chapter 121 The Proactive Attack (3.4k)

The so-called Peach Blossom Spring Project involves first reviving the woman in the Ghost Painting, then replacing her consciousness, taking control of the Ghost Painting's Ghost Domain, and using the Ghost Painting's Ghost Domain to cover the entire globe, keeping the vengeful ghosts outside the Ghost Domain.

To avoid dying of old age like the older generation of ghost tamers, Zhang Xianguang will visit the Ghost Post Office three times, becoming its controller, gaining immortality, and permanently controlling the Ghost Painting.

“Zhang Xianguang’s Peach Blossom Spring Plan has many flaws. It’s too risky to gamble with the fate of all mankind.”

Lu Ming had considerable respect for Zhang Xianguang.

Zhang Xianguang was not only a top-notch ghost controller in the true sense, but his Peach Blossom Spring Project was indeed aimed at sealing off the supernatural era.

From a standpoint of perspective, they are far superior to some ghost-controlling individuals and organizations that fight amongst themselves for short-term gains.

Even his father, Zhang Dong, the leader of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, could not end the era of the supernatural. However, Zhang Xianguang did not live in his father's shadow. Instead, he tried to open up a completely new path.

From this perspective, no one can laugh at him.

However, despite his admiration, Lu Ming himself did not support the implementation of the Peach Blossom Spring Project.

This plan is too idealistic.

If it's just a small-scale experiment to create a safe zone, it might not be a big deal, but to directly cover the entire globe with ghost paintings and ghost domains, no one dares to take that risk.

Even if the plan succeeds, the vengeful spirits outside the Ghost Painting will roam for years and eventually gather all the pieces. When the final vengeful spirit becomes more terrifying than the Ghost Painting, the Ghost Painting's ghost realm may even be torn apart.

Therefore, implementing the Peach Blossom Spring Project is tantamount to slow suicide.

------

In Lu Ming's plan, He Yuelian was merely a vessel to deal with the characteristics of the Ghost Painting Memory.

All Lu Ming needed was He Yuelian's appearance and her body, which had become perfect under the influence of the supernatural.

After mastering the ghost painting, the woman holding hands with Lu Ming was still his former bride, only now she had stolen He Yuelian's appearance.

After all, the bride is the person most closely connected to Lu Ming, and he will not allow an outsider to completely replace her.

As long as one is human, it is inevitable that one will have ulterior motives. Lu Ming can accept that the ghost bride has a simple consciousness, but no matter what, the Red Demon and the White Demon must be one.

If the balance between the Red and White Demons can be maintained at that time, then Lu Ming will be able to control the terrifyingly powerful Ghost Painting Ghost Domain through the Ghost Bride.

The success rate of that wedding would be greatly increased as a result.

···········
As Lu Ming had predicted, headquarters launched an operation to imprison the ghost messengers the following night.

The team, led by Li Jun, included A Hong, Su Fan, Liu San, and Xu Yiping.

It's no exaggeration to say that even on a global scale, this Ghost Tamer team is among the top tier.

However, things did not go as smoothly as expected.

The ghost realm of the ghost messengers was indeed suppressed, but it did not disappear as a result; a delicate balance was formed between the two.

What happened in that gray, gloomy world remains unknown to outsiders.

About three hours later, both the Ghost Messenger's Domain and the Ghost Painting's Domain disappeared.

Five figures emerged from the open space in the desolate countryside.

Judging from their appearance, these five people are the five top ghost tamers who entered the Ghost Painting this time.

However, the group moved stiffly and swayed, and each of them had a neat, round hole in their hand, as if something had pierced through it.

But Lu Ming knew that they were not ghost tamers at all, but real vengeful ghosts.

A top-notch ghost-taming team entered the Ghost Painting, but what emerged were five resurrected vengeful ghosts, who themselves had been left inside the painting... This situation was so terrifying that the person in charge waiting for the results of the operation in the headquarters conference room couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Cao Yanhua did not intend to give up on the ghost-taming team led by Li Jun so easily. Each ghost in this team was special, and some of them were even candidates for the captain's plan.

Finally, Elder Qin, who was in charge of the headquarters, made his move. He opened the gate to the underworld and pulled out the five people who had been left in the ghost painting.

To be more precise, there were six people.

Because Wei Jing, who had been dead for a long time, had come back to life, his clothes were all torn and covered in mud, and his exposed skin was black and blue, like a corpse that had been rotting for a long time.

Wei Jing came back to life, or rather, his body died, but his consciousness came back to life.

The ghost messenger's ability to infinitely restart allowed Wei Jing, who was originally dead, to return to a state where he was still alive. Under normal circumstances, Wei Jing would be immediately killed by the ghost messenger after regaining consciousness.

However, the ghost painting's suppression of the ghost messengers prevented them from dealing with Wei Jing.

He was an anomaly created by an accident.

Meanwhile, following Lu Ming's instructions, Cao Yanhua assigned Zhong Shan, Guo Fan, and others to deal with the five ghosts that emerged from the ghost painting.

Their task was to lure the five ghosts to a haunted house on the outskirts of the city, and ideally, to imprison them.

From Cao Yanhua's perspective, Lu Ming had a lot of useful information about paranormal events, but he did not try to explore the relevant details.

Because when it comes to important matters, these details don't matter, as long as the final outcome is good...

On the top floor of a towering building.

Lu Ming and the mummified bride held hands and quietly looked into the distance.

Standing here, he can use supernatural means to perceive the situation around the entire Greater J City.

Any Ghost Tamer would be very interested in such a big move by headquarters, but Lu Ming was waiting for the results of headquarters' actions here not out of curiosity.

There are too many factors that can influence the final outcome of a paranormal event, and even Lu Ming cannot guarantee that the operation will be successful.

He made many arrangements for headquarters, and in theory, there was little chance of any problems. Now, it was just a matter of ensuring that the operation could proceed smoothly.

Everything was progressing as planned, without any major mishaps. "Indeed, since Cao Yanhua made those changes, things have gone much more smoothly for me... However, the ghost painting incident hasn't been resolved. It's a supernatural event where the more you try to forget it, the more likely you are to trigger the ghost's murderous pattern."

Ghost Painting's ghost realm can replicate reality through the supernatural, and just like the starving ghost incident in Dachang City, Ghost Painting also has many supernatural derivatives.

Each derivative ghost painting, or rather a replica of a ghost painting, can be seen as an entrance to the realm of ghosts.

Anyone who has seen the ghost painting and recalls the woman in it will trigger the painting's murderous pattern.

"It is extremely difficult to resolve the Ghost Painting incident. Its ghost domain is too terrifying. Even the ghost messengers' ghost domains are restricted by it... It also has a strong restrictive effect on Yang Jian's ghost eyes. His ghost eyes don't even dare to look at the Ghost Painting for long."

"The reason why the ghost painting is so dangerous is that it is inherently uncontrollable. If the bride can perfectly control it, all these problems can be solved."

After confirming that he didn't need to intervene here for the time being, Lu Ming thought for a moment and disappeared into the ashes along with the mummified bride.

This time, our time in the mysterious world of resurgence is running out.

Lu Ming did not plan to head to Tai O City immediately.

The situation there is more complicated, as many overseas ghost-taming organizations are active in Tai O City.

Although Lu Ming was not afraid of those ghost tamers, taking He Yuelian away involved Zhang Xianguang, so it was always better to be well-prepared and cautious.

Of course, Lu Ming's decision not to go to Tai O City immediately does not mean he will do nothing this time.

···········
Lu Ming returned to his old neighborhood in Dachang City, which was far from Da J City, requiring a considerable amount of time to travel by plane.

But for someone like Lu Ming, who doesn't need to worry about the resurgence of vengeful spirits for the time being and also possesses a ghost domain, a round trip can be completed in a short time.

The house had been uninhabited for several days, and now, whether due to the darkness outside or because Lu Ming had used some kind of supernatural means to isolate it, the surrounding environment appeared unusually dark.

Lu Ming took out a strange pair of scissors from a box made of gold.

It was the ghost scissors that they obtained from Fang Shiming.

There are many secrets about these scissors. Fang Shiming has not fully mastered how to use these ghost scissors, while Lu Ming clearly knows more information than him.

For example, the ghost scissors can not only be used to kill people, but also to cut off some supernatural curses.

Some curses from vengeful spirits involve contact with the living. For these types of curses, simply use ghost scissors to cut off the point of contact between the curse and the living.

While this kind of cutting cannot harm the vengeful spirit, it can interrupt its attacks, making it quite practical.

After taking the ghost scissors out of the golden container, Lu Ming then pulled out a stack of documents from a file folder.

The document is at the top of a photo.

This was a man who looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, wearing a leather jacket and a headscarf.

His face looked haggard, with deep dark circles under his eyes, and his expression was numb, making it impossible to tell whether he was sad or agitated.

Luo Sheng, the person in charge of Tai O City.

The next time Lu Ming goes to Tai O City, he will undoubtedly run into this guy.

Although he was nominally the head of the headquarters, he was secretly a member of the King's organization.

No matter what, Lu Ming had to kill this kind of spy, and he deserved to die.

But the ghost he controlled was special; it was a red thread that could repair the body, so even if his head was cut off, he wouldn't die immediately.

"This Luo Sheng poses no threat to me, but his vitality is unexpectedly tenacious..."

"It would be best to kill him completely before heading to Tai O City."

Lu Ming didn't report the matter of eliminating Luo Sheng to headquarters because he found it troublesome.

Moreover, Cao Yanhua's purge has not been thorough enough so far, and there may still be moles within headquarters.

Being able to kill silently with the Ghost Scissors would be ideal, of course.

As for Luo Sheng's identity, after his death, the headquarters sent people to investigate, and it was easy to find out that he was a spy for the King's organization.

Lu Ming didn't need to worry about what happened after that.

After making up his mind, Lu Ming first wrote Luo Sheng's name on the back of his photo.

He then picked up the ghost scissors and slashed at Luo Sheng's head.

The surrounding environment immediately became cold and gloomy, and the light dimmed considerably.

Tick!Tick!
The sound of dripping water echoed around, and a stench of decay began to permeate the enclosed living room.

Lu Ming discovered that the world had changed from the moment he came into contact with the Ghost Scissors.

This is a world full of the supernatural.

Swaying ghostly figures, stiffly walking corpses, headless people...
Just like the protagonist in a supernatural novel who awakens the ability to see ghosts, the supernatural phenomena in Lu Ming's eyes were brought to life.

He could even see the abstract concept of "medium".

“Using these ghost scissors will incur a terrible curse, which will deepen with each use… The strands of hair wrapped around the scissors handle are evidence of this curse.”

When the scissors come into contact with the photo, the brand-new photo instantly looks old, with wrinkles and a slight yellowing, like a real old object.
