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

Chapter 135 Call Your Daughter Out (3.6k)

"not good!"

Li Jun was shocked and instinctively tried to use the Ghost Domain to escape.

But it was clearly too late.

Because of the vengeful spirit within him, Li Jun did not die immediately, but was instead pulled into the ghost painting by those pale hands.

The ghost drawing at this moment is different from the one before.

The seemingly ordinary ghost painting has transformed into some kind of supernatural passageway, leading to another supernatural place.

Chen Ping rushed forward, intending to use the supernatural power of the word "ghost" to save Li Jun.

We might bicker before, but when it really comes down to it, we can't joke around at all.

"I can use the character 'ghost' to disassemble the ghost painting. The painting can be broken down into a 'field' shape, and then I will destroy this ghost painting..."

Chen Ping has already come up with a solution.

But before he could make a further move, an extremely ominous premonition crept into Chen Ping's heart.

"You can't do that."

"I will die."

Before he could even use the supernatural power of the word "ghost," Chen Ping's heart began to pound.

He seemed to have a premonition of the terrible consequences that would follow his actions.

Dismantling the ghost painting has exceeded the limits that the character "鬼" (ghost) can handle. This seemingly ordinary painting will awaken Chen Ping's vengeful ghost, and then it won't be the Chinese characters that are being dismantled, but his own physical body...

Li Jun was pulled into the ghost painting, his fate unknown.

And the hands that suddenly appeared outside the ghost painting were still moving outwards.

Chen Ping had no idea what had happened on Yang Jian's side.

The ghost painting underwent some terrifying change.

The woman in the painting will soon step out of the painting again.

"Is it similar to a reboot?"

Chen Ping's heart sank to the bottom.

He controlled more than just the ghost in the character "鬼" (ghost); Chen Ping concealed this fact from his knowledge.

But even if there was another ghost, he didn't think he could restrain the woman in red who had stepped out of the ghost painting on his own.

Even if this is not the vengeful ghost from the source.

······
at this time.

Yang Jian rushed into the classroom from outside the corridor.

He still remembers the conversation that took place after he got through to headquarters.

Cao Yanhua personally contacted Lu Ming, requesting his reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming replied: "I will handle the ghost painting incident, but it would be making a mountain out of a molehill for me to personally intervene in a painting derived from the supernatural... I will completely resolve the ghost painting incident within a week, without anyone else's interference."

This answer sounds perfunctory.

The normal understanding is that Lu Ming doesn't intend to get involved in this paranormal event, and Cao Yanhua and Yang Jian share this view.

However, Lu Ming then revealed several crucial pieces of information, claiming they were intelligence intended for Yang Jian, and asked Cao Yanhua to relay them.

The first point.

The killer pattern of the ghost drawing is memory!

Anyone who has seen the ghost painting will have their murderous pattern triggered if they recall the woman in the painting, leading to the appearance of derivative ghost paintings, with the woman in red stepping out of the painting.

This explains why the blurry red-clad female ghost suddenly appeared when the high school student was relaying the story to Yang Jian.

Second point.

To restrict ghost drawings, a complete restriction is necessary.

Whether it's a derivative ghost painting or the original ghost painting, that painting is the original.

Therefore, no matter how many times the vengeful ghost is restricted from emerging, it will eventually restart and reappear on the screen.

Moreover, once the woman in the painting walks out, the ghost painting will enter an uncontrollable state, and can only be restrained when the ghost and the ghost painting are together.

Yang Jian's decision to split up with Li Jun and Chen Ping was undoubtedly a mistake.

Point three.

After distinguishing between the real world and the ghost painting world, when the ghost painting is moved in the real world, the background in the painting does not change.

In the short term, the ghost will not recognize the way and will not come out of this exit unless it remains still. Only then will the ghost invade reality through the exit.

To summarize, the ghost drawing must be kept in motion to be considered safe.

···········
Yang Jian learned about almost all the information related to the ghost painting.

With this information, although he still couldn't completely stop the source of the ghost painting, his chances of survival were greatly increased.

"This information could never have been compiled without risking one's life to repeatedly encounter the ghost paintings..."

"Could it be that... Lu Ming really has the ability to limit the source of the ghost painting?"

The thought of a ghost tamer capable of single-handedly resolving an S-level paranormal event sent a chill down Yang Jian's spine.

You should know that when he solved the starving ghost incident in Dachang City, he was on the verge of death, in a sorry state, and almost hanged himself.

Finally, the starving ghost was restrained by the coffin nail obtained from the underground of Hongfa Temple.

"There's no time to think about that now, we need to get into the Ghost Painting World and rescue Li Jun."

···········
Dachang City.

An old residential community.

Lu Ming put down the satellite phone and looked out the window thoughtfully.

As he had predicted, the Ghost Painting incident broke out, and headquarters sent three top Ghost Masters to investigate, one of whom was Yang Jian.

There's nothing wrong with this decision.

For an S-class paranormal event codenamed "Ghost Painting," simply increasing the number of people involved is of no use.

Only through the precise breakthroughs of top-tier ghost tamers can a glimmer of hope be found.

Lu Ming's concern was that, in the original timeline, Xiao Yang, who handled the ghost painting incident, was cursed by the music box.

With the music box in hand, Xiao Yang was like someone with an invincible cheat code, running around in all sorts of supernatural events without the slightest fear.

But now... the music box is in Lu Ming's hands.

Therefore, although Lu Ming did not personally go to assist Cao Yanhua in her distress call, he still conveyed the key information about the ghost painting.

In the paranormal community, the third of the three key points about vengeful ghosts is "understanding the patterns of ghosts".

Even ordinary people who cannot use any supernatural abilities have a chance to survive certain supernatural events after they understand the patterns of ghosts.

For example, in the headless ghost incident at Furen Shopping Mall, as long as you don't expose your back and crawl close to the ground, you won't be killed by that vengeful ghost.

With so much information, Lu Ming believed that Yang Jian could survive the ghost painting incident and even bring Li Yang out of the ghost painting.

"Whether for the sake of the bigger picture or for my own sake, I must go to Tai O City immediately to find Ho Yuet Lin."

Thinking this, Lu Ming used his Ghost Domain to leave the residential area. He used the Paper Ash Ghost Domain to travel in the air in a rainbow shape and soon arrived in Tai O City.

···········
Because he arrived in Tai O City quietly, and the headquarters was still busy dealing with the Ghost Painting incident, there were no staff members specifically assigned to receive Lu Ming.

This suited Lu Ming's wishes perfectly.

After all, what he was going to do on this trip wasn't exactly honorable; he was going to the casino to rob someone, not to be a guest.

"After I took down Luo Sheng, the head of Tai O City, a new head hasn't taken office yet. However, paranormal events don't happen very often here, so things haven't fallen into chaos yet..."

As Lu Ming pondered this, he disguised himself as an ordinary tourist and boarded a bus at the airport.

These buses are a specialty of Tai O City and are known as "fortune buses".

No fare is required upon boarding; pick-up and drop-off are included, and you can even enjoy free milk tea upon arrival.

However, the final destinations of these buses are all casinos.

The "lucky draw" is meant to make the casino rich, not the gamblers.

"Boss He has some influence in both the legitimate and underworld circles. There are even a few ghost controllers guarding the casino... However, it's obvious that these ghost controllers are just small fry who haven't even been able to temporarily solve the problem of the resurgence of vengeful ghosts."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen so low as to work as a henchman for a casino owner."

Even so, Lu Ming did not let his guard down.

Since Luo Sheng is a spy from the King Organization who has infiltrated the country, he is unsure whether there are other members of the King Organization in Tai O City.

Even when facing a common enemy—a vengeful ghost.

However, internal strife remains unavoidable.

Besides the Ghost Masters headquarters, each country has its own corresponding supernatural forces.

In the island nation, the exorcism society has already selected the so-called "Jade" to lead the country's supernatural forces.

In South Africa and Eurasia, there are also a series of organizations established by demon tamers.

Besides foreign forces, Lu Ming also needs to be careful of Zhang Xianguang, lest this guy trip him up in the dark.

"By the way... Yang Jian seems to have a classmate named Sun Ren, who later also went to Tai O City, but he probably hasn't become a Ghost Tamer yet."

Soon, the car pulled up outside an entertainment complex.

As soon as Lu Ming got out of the car, he saw many beautiful women in uniforms outside the door.

From the waiters to the dealers, everyone here is beautiful and has a hot body.

She looks at the guests with a gentle smile, which makes people feel very comfortable.

In fact, Lu Ming never quite understood why "beauty" and "gambling" were often associated with these entertainment venues.

Upon entering the entertainment complex, one is greeted by two glass display cases, each containing a large diamond.

"This is the He Hongsen Star, 218 carats, worth $1.4 million."

"This is a 216-carat sapphire, symbolizing fortune, prosperity, and longevity, and is worth $8000 million."

A dealer led the way for Lu Ming, explaining the various facilities in the entertainment center. All kinds of gamblers came here, including those who dressed very plainly but who would bet a fortune at the gambling table.

Therefore, the kind of plot in novels where waiters look down on poor losers is unlikely to occur in reality.

"Sir, do you know anything about these diamonds? If you become a winner at our casino, you might be able to take them home later."

Lu Ming shook his head: "Not interested. As for diamonds... I only know the Star of Africa."

Nothing much happened after that. Lu Ming swiped the bank card given to him by headquarters, exchanged it for a small amount of chips, and then started playing in the lobby.

This was Lu Ming's first time playing at a casino, and he found many things very novel.

He didn't understand gambling techniques, but he had some knowledge of cheating tricks.

Back in the God Realm, even the fifth-tier Sister Xiao was no match for him, let alone the ordinary people in the casino.

Soon, the chips in front of him had piled up like a mountain.

A dealer in the casino secretly used a walkie-talkie to notify the casino's owner, Mr. He, that a very suspicious person had come to the casino. He couldn't figure out what cheating tricks the person was using, and he had won dozens of hands in a row, so he was no longer willing to pretend.

They look like they're here to cause trouble.

Upon receiving the news, Mr. He rushed to the entertainment center from elsewhere.

After all, this entertainment complex is his biggest business, and he can't just ignore it if someone tries to cause trouble.

Boss He was menacing, followed by a large group of black-clad bodyguards carrying guns and clubs.

As a powerful figure with connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles in Tai O, he rarely feared anyone.

Arriving in front of Lu Ming, who had just finished a game of gambling, he casually sat down in the seat opposite him and said, "Kid, did you enjoy winning money?"

After going through this whole process, most people would probably be so scared that their legs would go weak.

However, Lu Ming remained calm, showing no sign of emotional fluctuation.

"Now that you're here, things will be easier."

Boss He chuckled, taking it as Lu Ming's feigned composure.

"Let's not beat around the bush. What do you mean? You want to play a game with me? What are we betting on? You mean risking your life?"

After saying all this, Boss He felt very clever, having already said all the lines the guy opposite him was supposed to say.

These days, the world has changed. It's no longer about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.

These managers of entertainment venues also participate in some legitimate projects, and many shady businesses have been transformed into legal operations.

However, it would be quite easy for Mr. He to take down a hothead who dared to challenge him after watching just two movies.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Ming sneered at Boss He and said, "What are we betting on? I can take your life whenever I want. What right do you have to bet with me?"

"Call your daughter out to keep me company."
