Chapter 138 He Yuelian's Awakening (4k)

The moment that hand appeared, He Yuelian felt like she was suffocating.

Why did he suddenly appear here?
Didn't you just leave temporarily?

At this moment, Lu Ming seemed to be omnipresent to He Yuelian.

He Yuelian was like an ant trapped in a cardboard box; no matter how much she struggled, she could not escape the boundary that had existed there beforehand.

A feeling of suffocation washed over her like a tidal wave. He Yuelian felt like she couldn't breathe. If Lu Ming didn't put her down, she might die in the next second.

"Lu Ming... let me go..."

He Yuelian's voice trembled as she pleaded desperately, completely devoid of her former arrogance.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming, standing behind He Yuelian, remained extremely indifferent, showing no change in emotion.

"I'm asking you, who let you leave?"

"Please, I'll never do it again. I'll stay by your side forever. Please let me go..."

He Yuelian's consciousness gradually blurred, her vision went black, and her speech became intermittent and weak.

Only at the very last moment did Lu Ming release He Yuelian.

This goddess in the hearts of countless people was now lying on the ground, panting heavily, like a disheveled stray dog, disregarding her image.

He Yuelian knew very well that Lu Ming's actions just now were genuinely intended to kill her. Perhaps to him, killing a person was no different from stepping on an ant.

Even her father, whom she had always been proud of, couldn't hold his head up in front of Lu Ming, and even sold her out of his own hands to save his own life.

He Yuelian felt utterly hopeless, as if life had lost all hope and her future was bleak.

Lu Ming looked down at her calmly and asked, "Still trying to escape?"

"I don't want to think about it anymore..."

He Yuelian's voice was filled with lingering fear.

"I'll do whatever Mr. Lu asks me to do from now on."

Many people often say that they would never give up their dignity as human beings, even if it means risking their lives.

But this is not the case.

The fear of death is extremely difficult for ordinary people to overcome.

People who are truly willing to give up their lives for dignity or a certain belief are actually quite rare.

Lu Ming gave a stiff and awkward smile, looked directly into He Yuelian's beautiful eyes, and nodded, saying, "Very good, you didn't lie this time."

Before He Yuelian could even breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Ming added, "However, I've already given you a chance, but unfortunately, you wasted it."

As Lu Ming finished speaking, everything around him was enveloped in a red mist.

Soon, a small opening was torn in the pervasive fog, allowing light to shine through, but the area still shrouded in fog remained dim.

Wow! ! !
Bloodstained old newspapers fluttered about, emerging from the gap like butterflies.

One of them was placed over He Yuelian's face.

The blood-stained old newspaper, carrying He Yuelian's flawless and exquisite face, slowly drifted down.

···········
A moment later, He Yuelian regained consciousness.

Her eyes were somewhat blank. When she noticed Lu Ming in front of her, her gaze lowered slightly, which was both a sign of respect and a gesture of flattery.

"Let's go back to Dachang City. Do you have any objections?"

He Yuelian shook her head: "I have no objection to President Lu's decision."

Just now, she remembered some memories that she should have lost. Perhaps Mr. He's wealth and status were something she had traded for.

Her birth was solely for the purpose of paying off Mr. He's debts.

He Yuelian no longer had much affection for Boss He, and naturally, there was nothing left for her to miss in Tai O City.

Moreover, for some reason, He Yuelian's impression of Lu Ming improved a lot, and she couldn't muster the slightest thought of disobeying him.

Lu Ming was very satisfied with He Yuelian's current state, which showed that the supernatural power of the blood-stained old newspaper had worked again and had not disappointed him.

With a thought, Lu Ming dispelled the red mist and unleashed the Ghost Domain.

He took He Yuelian's hand with his other hand, and the two of them used the Ghost Domain to move at a high speed in a way that ordinary people could not understand.

Before returning to Dachang City, Lu Ming took He Yuelian to the Ghost Tamer Headquarters in DaJ City, where they successfully met Cao Yanhua.

Since the changes in senior management at headquarters and the major reforms to various rules and regulations, Lu Ming has rarely encountered any troubles here.

Although the headquarters still has many problems that cannot be fixed in a short time, at least in terms of attitude towards Lu Ming, Lu Ming can't find anything wrong with it.

"Mr. Lu."

Cao Yanhua was working in her private office when she saw Lu Ming and immediately stood up.

In public, he would call Lu Ming by his name directly, but in private, when there were no outsiders around, he would call him President Lu Ming, as instructed by the bloodstained old newspaper.

Cao Yanhua was startled when he saw He Yuelian next to Lu Ming.

They probably didn't expect that President Lu would have such worldly desires.

However, this woman is indeed perfect. In every aspect, she is absolutely perfect and cannot be simply described in words.

Cao Yanhua thought to himself, "No wonder he's President Lu. Many powerful ghost tamers control two or even three ghosts, to the point that their emotions have become distorted, and they've lost interest in women..."

"It's a special ability for President Lu to maintain this kind of sentiment, and as expected of President Lu, his vision is exceptionally good."

Lu Ming never expected that Minister Cao, who appeared so serious and rigid, would be thinking about such things.

Cao Yanhua began, "President Lu, Yang Jian, Li Jun, and a ghost tamer named Chen Ping are currently dealing with the ghost painting incident. According to Chen Ping's report, Yang Jian and Li Jun have both entered the painting. Do you think it's possible to..."

Cao Yanhua had mentioned this to Lu Ming before.

Lu Ming's reply at the time was that he would handle it.

And this time it was the same answer.

"I will naturally find a way to deal with the ghost painting incident. It's my business, but it won't be of much use to tell you now. Let's not discuss this issue for now. With the information I provided, Yang Jian won't die so quickly."

After saying that, Lu Ming got straight to the point: "I made some gains during my trip to Tai O City, but the Ghost Tamer Ding Yi, who was sent by headquarters, is dead."

Upon hearing that Ding Yi was dead, Cao Yanhua waved his hand, seemingly not caring much.

“That newcomer is indeed not stable and cannot be handled independently. If the situation in Tai O City were not relatively stable, headquarters would not have sent him there as the temporary person in charge.”

"President Lu, please feel free to contact me if you have any instructions. Thanks to your suggestion last time, the headquarters is now running quite well."

Lu Ming took out a specially made container and placed it on the table in front of him.

"This contains corpse oil taken from a ghost. I need the researchers at headquarters to help me make a supernatural oil lamp, fueled by this corpse oil. Contact me again when you have the results."

Corpse oil?

Cao Yanhua examined the container on the table. It did indeed contain some corpse oil with impurities and emitted a faint stench of decay.

He put on white gloves and carefully put away the container containing the corpse oil.

If an ordinary person comes into contact with items tainted by the supernatural, it could very well be fatal. Not to mention something as inherently malevolent as corpse oil.

"I'll contact Professor Wang right now."

Cao Yanhua took Lu Ming's instructions very seriously and did not delay. He picked up the corpse oil and was about to leave, but Lu Ming stopped him.

"Minister Cao, although you didn't ask me, I think it's necessary for you to know about Luo Sheng's matter."

"Oh?"

Cao Yanhua paused in his steps.

He had long suspected something was wrong about the death of Luo Sheng, the head of Tai O City.

It's almost certainly Lu Ming who did it.

After all, Lu Ming committed murder openly and honestly, so he didn't need to pretend anymore.

Initially, this matter caused quite a stir within headquarters, but Cao Yanhua suppressed it all.

“That Luo Sheng is a member of the King’s Organization. He infiltrated from abroad and gathered a lot of useful intelligence as a spy.”

Upon hearing this news, Cao Yanhua frowned.

He did not doubt the truthfulness of Lu Ming's words.

In matters like this, Lu Ming wouldn't speak recklessly without evidence.

Cao Yanhua originally thought that Lu Ming killed Luo Sheng because of personal grudges.

I didn't expect there to be this reason.

Lu Ming continued, "That's why I advise Minister Cao to be more careful. Since Luo Sheng is a spy for the King's organization, there's a high probability that he's not the only spy at headquarters... Sometimes, the truth is cruel."

Cao Yanhua nodded solemnly in agreement: "Headquarters has been cleaning up suspected cases recently, and many senior executives at headquarters have been laid off. We will pay more attention in the future."

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming simply shook his head.

"The truth I'm referring to is not just this."

"If it were just a simple spy, the harm wouldn't be this great, but the real vengeful spirit has already infiltrated the upper echelons of the King's organization abroad and participated in some important decisions."

“A considerable number of kings have been influenced and have made some wrong decisions as a result.”

"The paranormal community in China must prepare for war, but no matter the outcome, there can only be one winner in the end."

"That's a ghost."

When Lu Ming said these words, he used his ghost domain to isolate the entire office.

Cao Yanhua's face was also filled with disbelief, and his mood changed from heavy to shocked.

He didn't know where Lu Ming got this information from.

But if these rumors are true and have spread to the outside world, they would undoubtedly be a bombshell for the entire paranormal community.

Cao Yanhua was about to say something more, but when he looked up again, he found that Lu Ming and He Yuelian were gone.

···········
Dachang City.

An old residential community.

When He Yuelian first arrived at Lu Ming's home, she felt a little uneasy.

The living room wasn't cluttered with many items, but it still looked somewhat cramped and crowded.

It was already evening, and the curtains on the balcony were drawn, so the room was dark and devoid of light.

Ordinary people would generally find it difficult to feel safe in such an environment.

If you look closely, you'll find many unusual things in the living room.

Many gold containers were discreetly placed in the corner.

There was also a pool of murky, unfathomable water lying silently across the living room, making one worry that they might slip and fall if they stepped on it.

"Are you going to start doing something to me?"

He Yuelian's heart was filled with fear of the unknown.

It goes without saying what will happen when a young, beautiful woman is taken home by an adult man late at night.

But He Yuelian wouldn't be so naive; if it were just that, she would accept it.

The extra memory that appeared in her mind told her that things weren't that simple.

Lu Ming stood by, ready.

He brought He Yuelian back to Dachang City in order to find a familiar and safe place to control the ghost painting.

This process is extremely dangerous and cannot be disturbed at will; everything must be done perfectly beforehand.

Lu Ming said, "You wait for me inside. If you encounter any danger, you can touch that puddle of water."

The puddle of water in the living room was left by Lu Ming specifically for He Yuelian, to deal with unexpected emergencies. If anyone wanted to harm He Yuelian, Lu Ming could rush back at any time.

If Lu Ming himself encounters danger he cannot resolve, he can quickly escape through this mysterious pool of water.

As for the possibility that He Yuelian might take the opportunity to escape, that was not within Lu Ming's consideration.

Because the blood-stained old newspaper had altered He Yuelian's subconscious, she could no longer disobey Lu Ming's orders.

Before He Yuelian could figure out what Lu Ming was going to do after leaving, her head was already nodding on its own, looking very docile.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I won't touch anything."

···········
What Lu Ming needs to do now is actually very simple: find a derivative ghost painting.

The key to controlling the ghost painting is to have He Yuelian wear the ghost wedding dress and embroidered shoes, and then recall the woman in the ghost painting to trigger the murder pattern of the ghost painting.

Even if every step is perfectly replicated, the probability of mastering the ghost drawing is still not 100%.

This was a very dangerous process for both He Yuelian and Lu Ming.

But Lu Ming never considered giving up on letting the bride control the ghost painting.

For him alone, there are three most important stages to improve his strength.

Firstly, mastering the ghost paintings makes up for the shortcomings in the ghost realm.

Secondly, according to the prophecy on the parchment, he held a bizarre wedding with the mummy bride, which was held at the same time as the funeral. From then on, he completely mastered the ghost bride's supernatural powers, and the two truly became one.

Finally, it is about achieving an infinite superposition of the supernatural.

After that, Lu Ming still has room for advancement, but right now, the most important thing is to make a good plan, and these are the three stages.

Of course, there are also things like "creating supernatural weapons" and "clearing horror movie dungeons" in between the three stages.

"Finding a derivative ghost painting is not difficult and doesn't take too much time."

"The longer we stay here, the more things can go wrong. That old bastard Zhang Xiangguang is still lurking in the shadows. To prevent him from recklessly taking action, it would be best to have the bride control the Ghost Painting tonight."
