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

Chapter 147 Ye Zhen, Questioning Life, Head Balloon (4.6k)

The moment the ghost bride appeared, the ghost painting and ghost domain extended outwards, and as the fluffy paper ash fell, the thick fog was dispelled somewhat.

With his other methods restricted and teammates present, Lu Ming couldn't just start making a ruckus right away.

Therefore, they can only place their hopes on the ghost bride.

He kept the last ghost candle unused, staring intently at the withered, fierce ghost that stiffly approached him.

"We can't summon this ghost directly using the ghost-summoning technique, otherwise it will be very difficult to handle."

Given the Ghost Bride's current level of terror, summoning the ghost that emerged from the fog wouldn't be difficult.

However, this method of control is only temporary and cannot solve the problem at its root.

Previously, when dealing with the reactivating Corpse Oil Ghost in Tai O City, Lu Ming had the bride use her ghost-summoning supernatural powers, but it was only by combining this with the accumulated water of the Water Ghost that the Ghost was finally submerged.

However, within the Ghost Temple, the Water Ghost's ghost domain was suppressed, and even the Ghost Painting's ghost domain couldn't directly send the ghost away.

"We must first determine the ghost's killing pattern."

Even top-tier ghost controllers must first discern the patterns of vengeful spirits when facing paranormal events.

Unless you're someone of Zhang Dong's level.

Waving goodbye doesn't mean saying goodbye.

But you still need to practice, little brother.

In the past, when faced with paranormal events, Lu Ming was always able to obtain some information in advance.

But regarding the current ghost temple incident, all he knew was that it was a temple shrouded in mist; everything else was unknown.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming took out a substitute doll and threw it at the withered ghost.

This eerie doll can help Lu Ming ward off a supernatural attack.

The emaciated corpse walked very slowly, but its walking method could not be explained by common sense.

After taking a few stiff steps, the ghost arrived in front of the substitute doll and reached out to touch it.

The eerie smile on the scapegoat's face was quite chilling. After being touched by the ghost, its body, made of dirty cloth, trembled slightly and tore open with a ripping sound, revealing the hair used as stuffing inside and bits of flesh that smelled of corpses.

A simple contact, and a scapegoat doll was damaged.

This alone shows that the ghost is extremely terrifying.

Contact will result in death.

This is most likely just one of the patterns of vengeful ghosts killing people.

The strange occurrences continued. The gaunt, malevolent ghost that emerged from the thick fog waving its arms stiffly, and the next moment, the sound of rushing water came from the ghost well.

thump! ! !
thump! ! !
One after another, mutilated female corpses emerged from the well water, their eyes opening at the same time.

Incredibly, these female corpses had no whites in their eyes.

They climbed to the top of the well. The corpses were piled up like a small mountain, their long, wet hair tangled together. From a distance, they looked like a dark mass, still surging closer.

"These are all...ghosts?!"

The three of them, including Meijia, turned pale at the sight before them and were too frightened to speak.

No one could have imagined that so many corpses could have sunk into such a small well.

Lu Ming glanced around and judged, "These are not real vengeful ghosts, but rather supernatural derivatives, similar to ghost servants. You can handle them."

"Yes... Mr. Lu."

Although Lu Ming said that these female corpses were not real ghosts, the three members of the exorcism team still looked as pale as paper.

How many ghost tamers have ever witnessed such a scene as this overwhelming supernatural attack?
Just then, Ye Zhen, who was lying on the bluestone ground of the temple, suddenly twitched and then jumped up from the ground.

He glanced at Lu Ming, then at the terrifying ghost, and at the countless female corpses that had emerged from the well. It seemed that they had finally regained their memories and remembered something.

"Ghost groom Xiao Lu? What are you doing here?"

"Did you hear about me and come all this way? Do you want to join forces with me, Ye, to solve this S-level paranormal incident?"

"If it were you, it wouldn't be impossible."

Lu Ming: "..."

Before Lu Ming could answer, Ye Zhen looked at the well again and said angrily, "You ghost are really unethical. You attacked me when I wasn't paying attention, otherwise I would have solved this supernatural incident long ago!"

"Get out of here!!!"

After saying that, he took a few steps forward and charged towards the ghost slaves, punching each of them and sending all the female corpses flying, thudding into the ghost well.

The three of them were so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless.

Indeed, as Mr. Lu said, the ghost tamer who was pulled out of the well was somewhat mentally unstable, but his strength was astonishing. He mumbled something incoherently and rushed forward, punching a large number of female corpses back into the well with just a few punches.

Are all ghost tamers in China this terrifying?

It seems their perspective is too narrow; they haven't seen a truly top-notch exorcist and have mistaken Yamazaki from the exorcism club for the highest mountain in the paranormal world.

Lu Ming's cold face was expressionless. He said to Ye Zhen, "Now that you're awake, don't waste time over there. Come over and help me find out the killing patterns of this vengeful ghost."

The scapegoat only delayed the ghost not far away for a moment; the next attack would come soon.

The reason Lu Ming asked Ye Zhen to take action was because this guy's tankiness was simply astonishing; he wouldn't die under normal circumstances.

"Hmm? Is Xiao Lu asking for my help?"

After realizing what had happened, Ye Zhen was very pleased with himself. He stopped paying attention to the well that had been hanging him and instead took out a twisted and cracked longsword from somewhere.

The sword was strange, twisted and deformed, covered in blood and dirt, and looked completely unusable.

But this sword was branded with the face of a terrifying ghost, its face full of cracks, like shattered porcelain. It was hard to imagine what the ghost inside the sword had gone through.

"Xiao Lu, I'm here to help you!"

"Look at the sword!"

Ye Zhen shouted and charged at the emaciated ghost whose body consisted only of skin and bones.

On the twisted and cracked longsword, the ghostly face met the vengeful spirit, revealing a chilling smile. A death curse pressed down, and the vengeful spirit's turbid eyes went blind instantly. Cracks appeared around its eye sockets, spreading outwards and covering its entire body.

This is not the end.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen had arrived in front of the vengeful ghost, slashing with his longsword and slamming down with his fists, giving the ghost no chance to catch its breath.

If Ye Zhen were facing a Ghost Master at this moment, even a top-tier Ghost Master, it would be difficult for him to survive such an attack.

Unfortunately, the opponent was a fully resurrected vengeful ghost.

The moment the two made contact, a death curse descended upon Ye Zhen.

At the same time, the vengeful ghost rolled its murky, numb eyes, revealing black eyeballs, and another death curse was added to Ye Zhen.

Two terrifying, certain-death curses caused Ye Zhen's entire body to begin to rot, leaving him numb and devoid of sensation. With each step he took, his skin and flesh would peel off like plaster.

Not only that, even the ghost sealed in the longsword in Ye Zhen's hand, because of that eye contact with the vengeful ghost, had its already mutilated face develop even more terrifying cracks.

If it weren't for the scapegoat inside him, Ye Zhen would have died long ago.

His expression turned serious, and it took him a while to return to normal.

On the other side, Lu Ming, who witnessed this scene, seemed to be deep in thought.

"Touch is certain death, eye contact is certain death, and can a drowned corpse in a well be turned into a ghost slave?"

Although Ye Zhen failed to subdue the vengeful ghost, the exchange just now was not without significance.

Lu Ming was able to deduce quite a bit from this. "Once we figure out the patterns of the vengeful ghost's killings, things will be much easier."

"Now, I will restrain this vengeful ghost."

Lu Ming slowly closed his eyes. Since the surroundings were already shrouded in thick fog, there was no difference between opening and closing his eyes. Using supernatural perception was the best option.

After all, he didn't know when the vengeful ghost in front of him would roll out its black eyes.

Then, Lu Ming's satellite phone rang; the caller was himself.

This wasn't a real missed call; it was a call from a vengeful ghost.

The murderous curse of the ghost call carries the fatal curse obtained from "Final Destination".

And this is just the beginning.

Before the first phone rang, a second phone rang.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth...
Five terrifying bell sounds overlapped and echoed throughout the courtyard of the ghost temple. Just before the explosion, the misfortune that was about to befall Lu Ming was transferred to the vengeful ghost.

A fatal murder curse differs from ordinary murder patterns in its supernatural intensity.

Not to mention that at this moment, five deadly curses are superimposed on each other.

Although it couldn't directly restrain the vengeful ghost in front of it, it did cause its withered body to freeze for a moment, standing motionless in place.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ming held the ghost bride's hand and stiffly waved it in mid-air, causing fluffy paper ash to fall and spread out in a hazy ghostly realm.

The ghostly domain quickly encroached on the surrounding area; it was one of the few ghostly domains that could be used in dense fog.

The ghost bride, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, was still standing beside Lu Ming, not having left her spot.

But a pale arm, exceptionally clear in the hazy mist, suddenly appeared from nowhere, grabbed the withered ghost by the neck, and dragged it into the gray and white world of ghost paintings.

Even with the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain that Lu Ming can currently use, he is unable to send away this resurrected vengeful ghost.

However, Lu Ming used supernatural attacks to temporarily put it into a state similar to a system crash.

It was only a brief moment, but Lu Ming seized the opportunity and successfully sent the vengeful ghost away.

"Ok?"

Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow, looking at Lu Ming and the ghost bride beside him, and said incredulously, "You actually sent that vengeful ghost away just like that? No wonder it's a being that even I, Ye, am wary of..."

"No... no, the positions of Xiao Lu and the bride ghost next to him have changed."

"and······"

It was only then that Ye Zhen noticed that the exposed, withered brown skin of the mummified bride had transformed into flawless skin like that of a normal person, though it appeared somewhat pale.

Even though the ghost bride didn't launch a supernatural attack on Ye Zhen, the feeling she gave him was completely different from before.

With a single wave of her hand, she can instantly revive a vengeful ghost within a ghost tamer.

The most terrifying thing is that the gray ghost realm cast by the ghost bride looks like an unreal world in a painting, exactly the same as the ghost painting recorded in the archives.

"Could it be that Xiao Lu not only solved the S-level ghost painting incident this time, but also successfully controlled this vengeful ghost and stole the ghost painting's supernatural power?!"

Ye Zhen glanced at the cracked and twisted longsword in his hand, then at the ghost bride holding hands with Lu Ming, and cursed the shattered ghost face in the sword as worthless.

At the same time, he felt a pang of sadness, sensing that the title of Asia's number one ghost tamer would eventually fall to Lu Ming.

He even wondered if he should find a ghost to be his woman.

"That Lu guy is really despicable. All he thinks about is living off women. The worst part is, he actually succeeded... With the strength of the Ghost Domain he can unleash now, even if I, Ye, had this longsword in my hand, I'm afraid I wouldn't be his match."

On the other side, the three members of the exorcism group also showed expressions of surprise.

They initially thought this was likely a bad omen, given the terrifying power of the vengeful ghost and the fact that the ghost tamers who came here would be suppressed by the ghost temple, unable to even unleash their ghost domain.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming was even more powerful than they had imagined. After figuring out the killing pattern of the vengeful ghost, he decisively took action and sent one of the terrifying ghosts away.

"Even though a ghost is confined by that well, it still possesses so many abilities..."

"It's no wonder that Yamazaki died at Mr. Lu's hands."

The same thought arose in the minds of all three.

"Mr. Lu, what should we do next?"

Lu Ming, who had just sent the vengeful ghost away, showed no joy on his face; instead, he appeared quite calm.

He knew very well that this eerie temple harbored many dangers, and dealing with one of the ghosts was nothing.

"Once my vengeful spirit is freed from its restrictions, we can continue to explore deeper."

Upon hearing that they were going to retrieve someone from the well, Ye Zhen immediately stepped forward to offer his help to Lu Ming.

In his view, Lu Ming had pulled him out of the well, and now he was helping Lu Ming pull Sadako out as well, so the two of them were even.

However, before they could make a move, the terrifying sound of a clapper came from the depths of the thick fog.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The sound of the clapper was dull and oppressive, as if it were releasing some kind of signal, or perhaps it was itself a special kind of supernatural attack.

Upon hearing this voice, Lu Ming's calm expression turned wary.

"Oh no, this is not what I expected. The intervals between each strike of the clapper are not the same. To be more precise, the interval between the second and third strikes is shorter than the interval between the second and first strikes."

Lu Ming didn't light the ghost candle immediately because he had estimated the time in his mind, thinking that the third clapper sound wouldn't sound so soon.

If the ghost candle is lit too early, it will be extinguished instantly under the influence of the terrifying ghost.

This was a perfectly normal decision, yet it subjected them to the eerie sound of clappers.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The clappers rang out rhythmically.

Click!

Several sounds of necks being snapped rang out simultaneously.

The three members of the exorcism group, including Lu Ming and Ye Zhen, all had their heads twisted and broken off in an abnormal way.

Their severed heads, separated from their necks, floated slowly into the thick fog above, like inflated balloons.

These three exorcists from the Exorcism Society were carefully selected by President Mishima and are considered quite outstanding members of the society.

The moment the supernatural attack arrived, they all took their own measures, trying to resist the supernatural attack of the clapper sound through the ghosts within their bodies.

But all of this was in vain.

The heads of the three men floated into the air, while the headless corpses fell to the ground with a dull thud.

None of the vengeful ghosts in the Ghost Temple are easy to deal with. Even Ye Zhen was affected by the eerie sound of the clapper, and his head and neck were separated.

Fortunately, he was able to use the supernatural powers of the scapegoat, and such supernatural attacks were still within the scapegoat's tolerance range.

So Ye Zhen simply discarded his old head, and a new head grew back on his neck.

As for Lu Ming, he did not die immediately. His head was put back in his body as soon as it separated from his neck.

He then redirected the remaining attacks onto the ghost bride.

Lu Ming's eyes darted around stiffly, taking in everything around him, as if he were deep in thought.

The scene before him felt somewhat familiar.

Similar to the human head balloon incident that occurred in ZS City before.
