Chapter 137: A Bountiful Harvest (4.4k)

No one present expected that Mr. He, a powerful figure feared throughout Tai O City, would kneel down and beg for the protection of a ghost tamer.

This scene had a huge impact on them.

He Yuelian, in particular, couldn't even believe her father's words.

To save his life, he was actually willing to offer himself up?
He Yuelian grew up in a wealthy family, and Boss He always indulged her. Now, suddenly experiencing something like this, it's understandable that she's finding it hard to cope.

Lu Ming, standing to the side, paid no attention to any of this. He didn't even glance at Boss He and simply stretched out his hand.

The next moment, the mummified bride, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, appeared beside Lu Ming.

The two stood together, hand in hand.

He Yuelian was somewhat dazed when she saw the mummified bride.

It seemed as if she was the one who should be standing next to Lu Ming in this wedding dress.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, He Yuelian shuddered in fright.

"I was so scared I almost fainted. The person standing next to Lu Ming was clearly not a living person, but a horrifying corpse..."

"Even if I jump off the building and let Lu Ming kill me, I will not become like this."

------

Faced with the ghost in the reception room, Lu Ming did not use the ghost's wailing and laughter, because these two supernatural attack methods were too lethal, especially when combined, and might kill everyone in the entire Daxing Entertainment City.

"This vengeful ghost is extremely terrifying. Ordinary folk ghost tamers really have no way to imprison it and keep extracting its corpse oil... However, if Zhang Xianguang is the mastermind behind it, then everything makes sense."

Lu Ming also released his Ghost Domain.

Paper dust continued to fall from mid-air.

Unlike the ashes scattered in the Ghost Painting Realm, the ashes summoned by the Mummified Bride do not accumulate on the ground. They disappear quickly after falling to the ground, like snowflakes in winter.

Strangely, Lu Ming's ghost domain was clearly stronger than that of the mummified corpse, yet the suppression of his ghost domain failed.

Or rather, even after suppression, the ghost realm of the dried-up corpses still exists.

"It's a very special case. The two ghost domains actually coexist... In other words, the paper ash ghost domain did suppress this ghost's ghost domain, but a certain characteristic of the ghost domain was preserved."

The next moment, Lu Ming knew exactly what the preserved characteristic referred to.

In the dimly lit reception room, the ghost killed two people in succession and then suddenly disappeared.

Only Ding Yi's four henchmen, Boss He, He Yuelian, and Lu Ming himself remained in the room.

In this situation, an ordinary person would be under immense mental stress.

Because no one knows when that terrifying ghost will suddenly appear and take someone's life.

No one would know whether the ghost had infiltrated among the seven of them; the seven dark figures had instantly multiplied into eight, eerily adding another person...

Boss He slowly stood up from the ground, nervously swallowing. He was terrified, but there was nothing he could do. He could only place his last hope on Lu Ming, so he didn't dare to say anything to disturb him.

Lu Ming looked around, but still couldn't pinpoint the ghost's exact location.

"interesting."

He suddenly remembered some of the research findings of Dr. Chen and Wang Xiaoming at headquarters.

Many things on a vengeful ghost are easily tainted by supernatural elements, such as its hair, skin, and clothes.

Corpse oil is no exception.

The corpse oil on different vengeful ghosts will be imbued with different supernatural phenomena, which to some extent represent the characteristics of the vengeful ghost itself.

For example, the corpse oil from some vengeful ghosts can be used to make ghost candles.

However, if the type of corpse oil used is incorrect, the ghost candles made will not only fail to drive away evil spirits, but will also attract them.

This failed study resulted in the white ghost candle.

The corpse oil on the withered, dried-up body in front of them could be used as fuel in a strange oil lamp.

This type of oil lamp, once lit, does not offer the same protection against ghostly attacks as a red ghost candle, but it does grant another kind of power.

Once the oil lamp is lit, it can illuminate the evil spirits hidden in the dark. Even those evil spirits that are hidden very deeply and difficult to find even with deep-level ghost domains can be found with this oil lamp.

Judging from the effects of the corpse oil on this vengeful ghost, it's not surprising that the ghost possesses the ability to hide in the shadows.

Lu Ming had no corpse oil on hand, nor any oil lamp.

We can manage to get some later, but that's too little to solve the immediate problem. We need to think of other solutions now.

Standing there dumbfounded, waiting for the vengeful ghost to attack, was not Lu Ming's style.

There were still seven people in the room. Lu Ming was able to transfer the attack seven times, or rather six times—He Yuelian was Lu Ming's target on this trip, and she absolutely could not die no matter what.

"If we can't find it, then we don't need to look for it anymore."

The intensely cold and eerie aura made Lu Ming realize that the ghost was still in the reception room, they just couldn't see it.

Lu Ming grasped the withered hand of the mummified bride, which was covered in dead skin, and slowly raised it, then stiffly waved it in mid-air.

The supernatural beckoning was activated.

tread!tread!tread!
Heavy footsteps came from a certain direction, as if someone was walking towards Lu Ming, and the footsteps became more and more rapid, eventually turning into a running pace.

It's hard to imagine that the ghost actually started running around in the small conference room, and it didn't reach Lu Ming's side for quite a while.

Boss He's voice trembled as he said, "It...it's here!"

After Lu Ming waved, not only was the ghost hidden in the shadows attracted, but even Ding Yi's corpse, which was already dead and had its head cracked open, twitched for a moment.

This is certainly not because Ding Yi is still alive.

It was because the vengeful spirit within him had also been affected by the ghostly influence of the mummified bride and had now revived.

A withered hand, charred black by something, emerged from the crack in the center of Ding Yi's skull, with half a finger protruding from it.

At most half a minute later, the vengeful spirit within Ding Yi will be fully revived.

Lu Ming glanced at Ding Yi out of the corner of his eye and said impatiently, "You're more trouble than you're worth."

After saying that, he casually pulled out a gold body bag and threw it at Boss He.

"Put Ding Yi's body in this bag. If you want to live, do as I say. Otherwise, I'll kill you first, even before the vengeful ghost does anything."

Lu Ming's tone was cold, without any resentment, but the colder it was, the more chilling and unsettling it became.

Mr. He didn't have much time to think. The charred ghostly hand was still trying to peel back Ding Yi's scalp and crawl out of his body. Once this vengeful ghost was fully revived, Mr. He would almost certainly die.

He Yuelian, who was not far from Lu Ming, watched this scene with a look of pity, but did not step forward to help.

Ever since He Yuelian heard that Boss He was going to sell her to Lu Ming in order to save her own life, her heart had died.

"Go to hell, you son of a bitch... So what if I die! I refuse to believe that I'll still be afraid of you after I'm dead, after being bullied and forced to take bribes by you while I was alive!"

Boss He was spouting harsh words, but his voice was trembling uncontrollably as he painstakingly rummaged through Ding Yi's body and stuffed it into the golden body bag.

Lu Ming did not continue to focus his attention on Boss He.

According to his judgment, as long as Boss He had enough courage, it wouldn't be difficult for him to imprison Ding Yi's body.

tread!tread!tread!
Over here, the unseen vengeful ghost was already very close to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming, along with the mummified bride, continued the act of summoning ghosts.

As long as this action is maintained, the supernatural phenomenon of summoning ghosts will not stop. The ghost will come to the place behind the mummy bride, and it will only launch a supernatural attack when Lu Ming and the mummy bride stop waving.

However, the supernatural ability to summon ghosts cannot be used indefinitely, otherwise the resurgence of the Red Fiend will intensify and overwhelm the White Fiend, putting Lu Ming in an even more difficult situation.

He certainly wouldn't act so recklessly. From the moment the mummified bride appeared, Lu Ming had already prepared all his contingency plans.

The dull, oppressive footsteps, which sounded suffocating, came to an abrupt halt.

Instead, there was a rushing sound of water.

Behind the mummified bride, a dark puddle had appeared out of nowhere. It looked like just a shallow layer covering the ground, but if you actually stepped into it, something terrible would definitely happen.

Wow! ! !
The eerie water surged and churned, followed by a gurgling sound of bubbles rising to the surface. The sound was much deeper than before, giving the impression that something had sunk into the puddle.

"..."

"The vengeful spirit has been restrained."

After the mummified bride in her wedding dress disappeared from Lu Ming's side, the chilling atmosphere dissipated, and the dim reception room gradually became brighter.

Mr. He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his heart filled with relief and lingering fear at surviving such a close call.

Lu Ming looked around and met the gazes of Ding Yi's four henchmen, which made the latter tremble with fear.

They worked for Ding Yi and had heard about things in the paranormal world to some extent.

Therefore, they found Lu Ming even more terrifying than a vengeful ghost.

“Boss He, these thugs seem to have done a lot of bad things. After investigating them thoroughly, send them in to reflect on their actions according to procedure. If I find out that you can’t even handle this simple matter and that they’ve managed to get out early through connections… you know my methods.”

Boss He nodded repeatedly, then turned to look at the golden body bag lying on the ground, and hesitated, "President Lu, Ding... Ding Yi is said to be from headquarters. Could it be... that he died here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ming waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "You don't need to worry about that. Headquarters won't cause you any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Mr. He was once again shocked.

Judging from Lu Ming's confident demeanor, it didn't seem like he was faking it.

Mr. He's previous conjecture has been confirmed once again.

It seems that the person who killed Luo Sheng, the head of Tai O City, some time ago was Lu Ming.

Moreover, Lu Ming is a high-ranking ghost tamer, and even the headquarters doesn't dare to provoke him. He doesn't even need a reason to do things.

If I dare to offend Lu Ming...

Death is certain.

After his death, probably no one will dare to stand up for him. Even the authorities can only offer flattering smiles and applaud.

"Mr. Lu, I understand. Please feel free to ask me anything. I will do my best to help you if it is within my capabilities."

Mr. He adopted a very humble attitude; his arrogance had been worn away.

But when he looked up again, he found that Lu Ming had already left with He Yuelian.

The two of them vanished as if into thin air, leaving no trace.

------

Wow! ! !
With the sound of rushing water, Lu Ming, accompanied by He Yuelian, appeared in front of an old house from the Republican era.

The house was quite old, but it wasn't abandoned; instead, it was renovated into a restaurant.

There are very few customers dining here, only a handful of tables.

Lu Ming had a peculiar premonition.

This premonition is not unfounded; it is based on real evidence.

Lu Ming's original plan was to borrow some corpse oil from this restaurant after the incident in Tai O City was resolved.

But he suddenly realized that the vengeful ghost had not been completely suppressed by the water ghost. Logically, it should have been impossible for it to escape, but the fact is that the vengeful ghost did indeed disappear in the end.

So Lu Ming thought he'd come and take a look at this restaurant.

"Based on the clues we have so far, these obstacles are most likely the work of Zhang Xianguang..."

"He should give up now. After all, with Elder Qin around, Zhang Xianguang can't make a direct move. If he resorts to underhanded tactics, he won't be a match for me once I'm on guard."

"No matter what, he's the one who should be lying."

Lu Ming turned to He Yuelian and said, "There might be danger inside this restaurant. I'll go check it out and come right back. Wait for me outside and don't move around."

"good······"

He Yuelian was taken aback at first, and her eyes involuntarily wandered.

What she didn't notice was that a small, barely noticeable puddle of water had appeared not far from her.

Lu Ming strode into the old restaurant.

As soon as he entered, he smelled a familiar scent.

It's the smell of corpse oil emanating from that vengeful ghost at Daxing Entertainment City.

Lu Ming looked at the chandelier on the ceiling, which was the source of the smell.

Because there was only one such eerie oil lamp, no one noticed the strangeness of the place.

Moreover, the odor from burning this corpse oil is very faint; it's almost impossible for an ordinary person to smell it while staying here.

"Ordinary people would never discover the problem here, just like the Caesars Hotel. The real haunted place is hidden in the deep ghost realm."

As paper ash slowly fell from mid-air, a dim, cold basement came into view.

Sure enough, in the basement, there was a ghost chained up. Lu Ming recognized the ghost's appearance; it was the same one from before.

The ghost was not suppressed by the water ghost, but returned to the basement.

"It actually restarted?"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Lu Ming was still somewhat taken aback.

It possesses a ghostly aura, has the special property of being invisible, and can even restart itself while imprisoned, returning to the basement...

It can only be said that this vengeful ghost is indeed extraordinary, given that Zhang Xianguang went to such great lengths to imprison it here.

"The corpse oil was dripping from the feet of this corpse."

Lu Ming keenly noticed that there were two gold needles stuck in the soles of the corpse's two feet.

The gold needles turned black from being soaked in corpse oil for so long.

Lu Ming collected some of the corpse oil in a special container, intending to take it back to headquarters to have them help make oil lamps.

Having been tricked by that old bastard Zhang Xianguang, Lu Ming was somewhat indignant, so he took all the corpse oil he had accumulated and left none behind.

If the chains binding the corpse hadn't been fixed to the ground and hadn't been imbued with some kind of supernatural power, Lu Ming would have taken the ghost with him at all.

"This time, we took He Yuelian away and also obtained this corpse oil, so it can be considered a very fruitful haul."

···········
Outside the old restaurant.

At first, He Yuelian was a little flustered and looked uneasy.

But after looking around and finding no one nearby, she finally made up her mind.

run!
Lu Ming might have some other purpose in taking her away.

If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to escape later.

Just as He Yuelian mustered her courage and turned to run in the opposite direction, a large hand appeared out of thin air and tightly gripped her swan-like, fair and soft neck.

"Who told you to leave?"
