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

Chapter 136 Zhang Xianguang's Scheme (5.6k)

After Lu Ming uttered this harsh remark, everyone expected Boss He to fly into a rage, slam his fist on the table, and start arguing back.

Unexpectedly, Mr. He not only did not get angry, but fell silent instead.

It would be impossible for an ordinary person to thrive in the ever-changing city of Tai O without some skill and keen insight.

There are only two kinds of people who dare to make such a fuss in his Daxing Entertainment City.

One type is a clueless, clueless young man.

Another type is the truly powerful top-tier boss who usually hides in the shadows.

Mr. He hadn't thought much of it at first, but Lu Ming suddenly said that taking his life would be as easy as turning his hand... This reminded Mr. He of a major event that happened in Tai O City some time ago.

Luo Sheng, the head of the Ghost Riders headquarters in Tai O City, died mysteriously.

These so-called big bosses, let alone compared to Luo Shengbi, the person in charge of Tai O City, even the ordinary ghost tamers who act as henchmen in the entertainment city, had to be fed and entertained well, for fear of displeasing those ghost tamers.

Luo Sheng, the person in charge who was at the top of the Tai O City in terms of both status and power, was assassinated silently.

The headquarters sent people to Tai O to investigate, but they did not provide a final result.

It is said that the staff in charge of the investigation left Tai O after receiving a phone call from a deputy minister.

Who exactly is this person who could possess such immense power?

Mr. He felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

Sometimes, the higher one's position, the clearer one becomes about the gap between oneself and certain others.

Although this matter has nothing to do with Lu Ming right now, things have been quite turbulent in Tai O City lately, and Boss He doesn't want to get involved.

So he changed his tune and said, "Young man, why don't you be more explicit... so that any grudges can be settled."

Lu Ming didn't reply, but instead gave Boss He a deep look.

Right beside him, a figure dressed in a bright red wedding gown suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared, as if it were an illusion.

Whether it was because the red-clad female ghost appeared for too short a time or because Lu Ming used some kind of supernatural means, the people around did not react at all, as if they had not seen anything.

Mr. He suddenly jolted awake.

ghost!!!
What just appeared before me was definitely a genuine vengeful ghost.

Just as Boss He had guessed, the reason why Lu Ming was so arrogant from the start and threatened to take his life was because Lu Ming was actually a ghost tamer!
Realizing this, Boss He broke out in a cold sweat, feeling extremely frightened. He had only one thought in mind: first, to calm Lu Ming down and avoid conflict with him, and then take the opportunity to call Ding Yi over.

"Luckily, I didn't continue to be forceful just now. This ghost tamer was trying to intimidate me."

"I got in touch with Ding Yi a few days ago, so I have no choice but to ask him for help..."

After making his decision in secret, Boss He squeezed his chubby cheeks and said with an awkward smile, "President Lu, please wait a moment. I'll contact my daughter right away and have her come over."

Mr. He's repeated changes in attitude left everyone around him somewhat dumbfounded.

what happened?
Why is even Boss He so polite to this seemingly ordinary young man?
The thugs that Boss He brought were all secretly sizing up Lu Ming, trying to guess his background.

But Mr. He couldn't care less about all that. He suppressed his nervousness, took out his phone, and sent messages to Ding Yi and his daughter He Yuelian.

Lu Ming wanted to see He Yuelian, but Boss He was not surprised.

His daughter, He Yuelian, has an impeccably beautiful face; countless men are captivated by her.

For some special reasons, He Yuelian has always been well protected by Boss He, and now it is impossible for her to give her daughter away just because of Lu Ming's words.

"Mr. Lu, there are too many people in the lobby, why don't we go upstairs to talk?"

Noticing that many gamblers were already looking their way, Mr. He quickly made a suggestion.

If we can reach an agreement, that's fine; otherwise, a conflict might break out later.

Given his status and position in Tai O, countless eyes were secretly watching him.

A small disturbance today could be on the news tomorrow.

Lu Ming did not answer, but stood up indifferently and followed Boss He upstairs.

There is a luxuriously decorated reception room upstairs in the entertainment complex. To the untrained eye, it appears very understated and does not give the impression of a nouveau riche. Whether playing cards or drinking tea, it is quite comfortable inside.

On the leather sofas on either side, Lu Ming casually sat down on one side, while Boss He sat on the other.

Judging from their expressions, it seemed that Lu Ming was the host, while Boss He was the guest in a subordinate position.

Boss He dismissed his men early on.

He was a knowledgeable man and knew that to a ghost tamer, an ordinary thug was no different from an ordinary person, and even if they had a gun, it would be useless.

five minutes later.

Lu Ming glanced at the wall clock and said, "I know exactly what you're thinking. Here's what we'll do: I'll give you one more minute. If you don't see He Yuelian by then, I'll take your head off and go find her myself."

Upon hearing this, even Mr. He, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He gave a stiff smile: "Mr. Lu, you flatter me. My daughter will be here shortly... very shortly..."

Just as Lu Ming suspected, He Yuelian was actually inside the casino. The reason he couldn't find her earlier was to stall for time.

Crunch!

The wooden door was pushed open, and a woman walked in.

Lu Ming had seen many beautiful women; some fawned over him, some flattered him, and some genuinely devoted themselves to him…

To be honest, although he still retains human emotions, Lu Ming has lost interest in ordinary women.

At his current level, it's difficult for him to make sex and love his sole pursuit.

Even so, Lu Ming was still taken aback when he saw He Yuelian.

This woman is beautiful, so beautiful that she defies description.

The so-called "beauty" is actually a rather subjective thing; some people think it's beautiful, while others don't.

However, no one, regardless of who they are, would ever say "not pretty" about He Yuelian's appearance against their will.

Because this face looks exactly like the female ghost in the ghost painting, it is a product formed entirely by the supernatural and is truly flawless.

The only difference between her and the female ghost was that He Yuelian was not wearing a bright red wedding dress, but rather a modern outfit.

At the other end of the sofa, Boss He looked at Lu Ming with suspicion.

He originally thought that Lu Ming was after He Yuelian's beauty.

Strangely, Lu Ming's gaze towards He Yuelian was odd; it lacked worldly desire and instead conveyed a sense of vigilance, defensiveness, and contemplation.

"come over."

Lu Ming spoke coldly.

Wearing a dress and high heels, He Yuelian was both sexy and innocent, charming but not gaudy. She first glanced at her father, and seeing Boss He nod, she walked step by step towards Lu Ming.

"show me."

The moment He Yuelian approached, Lu Ming reached out and pinched her small face, lifting it up from her chin.

The skin was smooth and delicate, with a slightly cool feel, and touched like a piece of exquisite porcelain.

He Yuelian instinctively tried to struggle, but the chilling sensation emanating from Lu Ming's hand froze her in place, unable to move.

Fear crept into He Yuelian's heart. She felt wronged, wanted to cry, wanted to shout, but it was as if an invisible hand was gripping her throat in mid-air, preventing her from making a sound.

"Very good, it is indeed you, there is no mistake."

After leaving behind this nonsensical remark, Lu Ming put He Yuelian down.

This woman, whose appearance was flawless and who had never suffered even the slightest grievance since childhood, was now panting heavily, like a drowning person who had just come ashore. Her beautiful eyes still revealed lingering fear.

"Who exactly is he? What does he want to do to me?"

Such a thought couldn't help but arise in He Yuelian's mind.

Lu Ming didn't feel like a normal living person to her; rather, he seemed like a walking corpse.

Just as Lu Ming confirmed that He Yuelian's face was real and was preparing to take the next step.

boom! ! !
With a loud bang, the wooden door to the reception room was violently pushed open.

"Where did this ghost tamer come from, causing trouble on my turf? Isn't that a bit too disrespectful?"

A man wearing a floral shirt, with a pale face and an arrogant look, walked in from outside the door.

Several people were swaggering behind him.

The leader had a very cold and sinister aura, unlike normal living people; he seemed to be from the paranormal world.

Mr. He, who had been feeling extremely uneasy, was overjoyed to see these people. He quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Ding, you've arrived."

The leader, a ghost tamer named Ding Yi, was very arrogant. He didn't give Boss He any face and directly said to Lu Ming, "Judging from your appearance, you should also be a ghost tamer, right? I've seen people like you before. Relying on your abilities, you run wild outside, even forcibly taking women. This kind of mentality is very common, and I can understand it."

Ding Yi changed the subject, continuing, "However... if you insist on doing things this way, you usually won't live long. Using the power of the vengeful spirit recklessly will quickly revive the spirit within you." "Most importantly, this world is about power. I have headquarters behind me; what do you have? You should know that every time a ghost tamer makes a move, they pay a considerable price. Today, apologize to Boss He and leave, and I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise..."

At this point, Ding Yi paused for a moment, his words carrying a threatening tone, unaware that his actions were actually quite ridiculous in Lu Ming's eyes.

Lu Ming inquired with headquarters and learned that there was no person in charge in Tai O City at the moment, only a new ghost tamer who was temporarily transferred there, in order to prevent any sudden supernatural events from happening in Tai O City.

The so-called "temporary person in charge" was, to put it bluntly, a sucker who was brought in to work for free.

If Lu Ming wasn't mistaken, it should be Ding Yi standing in front of him.

Boss He somehow managed to get in touch with Ding Yi, and now that he's in trouble, he's called him over, hoping he can be of some use.

Lu Ming calmly replied, "You're a newcomer and it's normal that you haven't heard of me. I have no interest in killing people right now. If you move aside, I won't kill you... If you have any questions about my identity, just call headquarters and ask who Lu Ming is."

These sincere words sounded like a blatant provocation to Ding Yi.

He naturally wouldn't make a phone call, but instead looked coldly at Lu Ming: "In that case, you can go die."

Ding Yi was about to launch an attack on Lu Ming by using the supernatural power of the evil spirit within him, but at that moment, the lights in the reception room began to flicker strangely.

Poof! ! !

It appears that one of the wires was burned out, plunging the entire meeting room into darkness.

"What is he doing?!"

Ding was shocked. This was not his doing, because his supernatural abilities were not strong enough to affect the environment.

But this was not Lu Ming's doing either.

To kill these few shrimps in front of him, Lu Ming didn't need to go to such great lengths.

"Something's wrong. This chilling aura doesn't seem to belong to a ghost tamer. A vengeful spirit has invaded this place..."

"Moreover, judging from Ding Yi and Boss He's expressions, the vengeful ghost wasn't released by them."

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's expression became solemn, and the ominous premonition in his heart intensified.

Ordinary ghost controllers are nothing in Lu Ming's eyes, and his condition is quite stable. He won't let his condition deteriorate just because he uses supernatural powers once or twice.

Killing Ding Yi and killing Boss He probably wouldn't make much difference to him.

On the other side, Mr. He looked around in panic: "What happened? Why did the power suddenly go out?"

He was unaware of the ghost's arrival at this moment, only thinking that doing business should be peaceful and profitable. If Lu Ming and Ding Yi really started fighting in his entertainment center, the impact would probably not be good.

Not only the second-floor reception room, but also the lobby of the entertainment center on the first floor lost power and was plunged into darkness.

The gamblers began to complain.

"What's going on? I can't see the cards anymore..."

"You can't see me, but I can! Don't steal my cards!"

"Damn! We were just one step away from taking over Kingsoft, and the boss pulled this stunt on me—a power outage? Can't afford to play along? This is so frustrating! Give me my money back!"

------

In the second-floor reception room.

Suddenly, a ghost tamer's cry rang out: "Over there... there's a ghost!!!"

Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction he was pointing.

However, the ghost tamer did not fare well. Before he could react, all the color drained from his face, and he fell to the ground as a pale, cold corpse, devoid of all life.

A terribly desiccated corpse appeared in the dimly lit room at some unknown time. Its body was extremely withered, barefoot, and covered with horrible lividity.

The mummified corpse moved stiffly and uncoordinatedly, looking as if it had just learned to walk.

The most shocking thing was the crisscrossing lock marks on the mummified body.

These lock marks make it hard not to imagine that the body had suffered inhuman torture before escaping, being bound by rusty iron chains for a long time.

An impenetrable darkness spread out from the corpse, enveloping the entire second-floor reception room.

This is the ghost realm that this ghost used to seal off this place.

"As expected, there is a vengeful ghost. The timing is quite a coincidence."

"Moreover... the ghost tamer was killed without even touching the corpse. The corpse's killing pattern is terrifying; it can kill silently."

In Lu Ming's memory, Tai O City was considered a relatively safe city in the whole of China, and paranormal events did not occur frequently.

Some of the odd things were that there was only a safe house made of gold underground and a restaurant with a lamp lit by corpse oil.

In short, the probability of paranormal events occurring in this place is much lower than in Dachang City.

The S-level terrifying starving ghost incident occurred in Dachang City; the intelligent wishing ghost, capable of extinguishing ghost candles, also resides in Dachang City; the nearby Huanggang Village is inhabited by an S-level, unsolvable, malevolent ghost; a three-room Republican-era mansion is located in Guanjiang Residential Area, Dachang City; even the red-clad malevolent ghost in the ghost painting, whose hands are nailed to golden candlesticks, has to make a stroll through this place…

Compared to Tai Cheong City, Tai O City is undoubtedly extremely peaceful.

However, not long after Lu Ming arrived, he encountered a terrifying supernatural event.

Lu Ming certainly wouldn't believe it was just a coincidence, or that no one was behind it.

"Could this be the ghost imprisoned with chains and gold needles in that old restaurant from the Republican era?"

Lu Ming also remembered that in an old restaurant during the Republic of China era, there was a similar rotting corpse with gold needles piercing its feet and its body bound by iron chains.

In the original timeline, Yang Jian went to that place and stole some corpse oil, suspecting that the ghost was imprisoned there by a folk ghost tamer.

Now it seems that the so-called folk ghost tamer was most likely Zhang Xianguang.

He looked at the corpse and indeed found a black cloth hood around its neck. The hood was supposed to be on the corpse's head, but it had been roughly torn off and left on its neck.

This perfectly matches the image of the desiccated corpse in the old restaurant from the Republican era, confirming Lu Ming's conjecture.

Click!

Before Lu Ming could make a further move, a chilling sensation suddenly rose from his forehead.

Lu Ming discovered that his head had split open like a watermelon, revealing a deep gap in his forehead.

The vengeful ghost's killing pattern has been triggered once again.

"Sure enough, the hood is because seeing the corpse's face will trigger a death sentence, and the golden needles in its feet are because this ghost's feet can use the Ghost Domain... As for the dense corpse spots all over its body, they must also be some kind of extremely dangerous supernatural phenomenon."

Despite his skull cracking open and appearing to be on the verge of death to onlookers, Lu Ming remained completely calm and composed, analyzing the situation with remarkable composure.

The supernatural force that could transfer misfortune was activated.

The supernatural attack that Lu Ming suffered was immediately transferred to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi realized something was wrong and completely abandoned his previous arrogant attitude, turning around and trying to run away.

But this is the ghost realm of vengeful spirits, and for a ghost tamer without a ghost realm to escape is simply a pipe dream.

If you run around recklessly, you might encounter paranormal events similar to being trapped in a maze.

"Fuck!"

"What a joke!"

Another crisp sound rang out.

Ding Yi's head split open, and brain matter mixed with blood flowed out of the crack.

Instead, Lu Ming's head was restored to its original state, becoming as good as new.

At this moment, Ding Yi's henchmen and Boss He were all feeling utterly dejected.

Mr. He finally realized a very serious problem.

Lu Ming is not only a ghost tamer, but also a rather terrifying one.

The mysterious death of Luo Sheng, the head of Tai O City, some time ago might be related to Lu Ming.

Mr. He analyzed the current situation.

In the not-so-large reception room, there was both a terrifying vengeful ghost and Lu Ming, a top-tier ghost tamer.

Both sides could kill each other at any time.

It was a situation where there were wolves in front and tigers behind, and the chances of survival were extremely slim.

"Damn it, survival is the priority, I can't worry about anything else now!"

"I've endured so much hardship all these years, what haven't I suffered? If I die, I'll have nothing left..."

"Since the language of the vengeful spirits is incomprehensible, we can only beg for Lu Ming's protection."

Mr. Ho truly lives up to his reputation as a self-made man in Tai O City; he is flexible and adaptable, and his change in attitude is quite natural.

thump!
In front of so many people, he knelt down in front of Lu Ming without hesitation, putting on a dramatic act, with snot and tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "President Lu, I'm entrusting my daughter to you. Just tell me if you need any cooperation. You must save me!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!
