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

Chapter 155 Arrangements for the Ghost Child (5.2k)

Is Wang Shanshan pregnant?

Lu Ming was taken aback at first, then he realized what was happening.

It seems to be a hidden danger left over from the starving ghost incident.

The ghost baby is about to be born.

It was different from the originally expected time, but that's normal, after all, this world has gained an uncertain variable like him.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Your female classmate is pregnant? What, is the child yours?"

Yang Jian's face darkened, but he still explained, "The child in Wang Shanshan's belly is a ghost infant, which should be a derivative of a starving ghost that has been imprisoned. More accurately, it is a kind of ghost slave. I am currently considering how to deal with this ghost."

"..."

"How to deal with this ghost? It's simple. You have two choices: either abort the child to eliminate all potential threats, or hand the ghost infant over to me to raise. I have the means to control it."

Lu Ming didn't just say these words casually; he had considered them carefully.

In the original timeline, Yang Jian altered the ghost child's memories using blood-stained old newspapers in order to control the ghost child.

But the bloodstained old newspaper is now in Lu Ming's hands, so it's impossible for him to return it. Moreover, even if the old newspaper is temporarily lent to Yang Jian, the Ghost Child's condition cannot be kept stable indefinitely.

No one can predict when something might happen; it's like planting a time bomb that Yang Jian can't control.

The birth of the ghost child is ultimately related to Yang Jian, and how to deal with it is ultimately up to Yang Jian to make the decision.

If Yang Jian decides to abort the child, then the ghost baby in Wang Shanshan's womb will be completely eliminated, and the whole thing will be as if it never happened.

If Yang Jian decides to let Lu Ming raise the ghost child, Lu Ming will at most just control the ghost. It just so happens that his Fu Ren Building is short of a ghost-eyed security guard, so it would be very suitable to let the ghost child take on the role.

As for feeding vengeful ghosts to ghost children, or even offering oneself as a sacrifice to a ghost, Lu Ming did not consider such things.

Bloodstained old newspapers have a certain upper limit. In the higher-dimensional God Space, they may not even be effective against high-level challengers with strong mental power, let alone the infinitely developing ghost child.

Lu Ming has always been clear about his future plans. Red Fiend and White Fiend are his core, and he needs to forge his own path.

Therefore, Lu Ming's choice regarding the ghost child will be relatively conservative.

"At most, I'll get that blood-stained shroud for the kid to increase his life-saving ability. From now on, Fu Ren Building will be my base in Da Chang City. Having a ghost guarding it is much more reassuring than having a ghost tamer guard it."

"Of course, if it really comes to the last resort, the ghost child can also be used as a last resort, allowing me to take a gamble."

After hearing the two options Lu Ming gave him on the other end of the phone, Yang Jian fell silent.

He is also thinking and making a choice.

The ghost baby in Wang Shanshan's belly is an unusual existence.

From Yang Jian's personal perspective, he would definitely be reluctant to just remove it.

But if we keep it, there really isn't a good solution.

Lu Ming's voice came through the phone: "No need to rush to make a decision, just give me an answer in three days."

He doesn't have much time left in this mysterious world of resurgence.

More important now than dealing with the ghost child is preparing for the next horror movie sequel.

Since entering the Main God Space, the following challenge dungeons will definitely be the most important ones.

Similar to a promotion series in a game.

If you successfully complete the challenge and perform well, you will have the opportunity to advance from a Level 5 Challenger to a Level 6 Challenger.

Enter the higher-dimensional God Space.

There will definitely be a big difference between the rules of the higher-dimensional main god space and the lower-dimensional main god space.

The only way to uncover more secrets of the God Realm, or even to leave it completely, is to enter a higher-dimensional God Realm.

"According to Chen Xin, a seventh-tier challenger is already at the very top of the peak. Reaching the eighth tier allows one to clear the Main God Space and return to their original world with terrifying abilities..."

"It sounds very tempting, but I don't know if the news is true."

"Once we reach the higher-dimensional God Space, even the rules for challengers' advancement might change."

"In addition, if you can advance to the sixth-tier challenger, you will get another chance to exchange points for higher-tier abilities."

Greater J City.

The Asia branch of the Ghost Riders headquarters.

Cao Yanhua convened a meeting among the senior executives at headquarters.

With the domestic situation finally stabilizing, the long-delayed Captain Project was finally put back on the agenda.

However, after some consideration, Cao Yanhua did not launch this opportunity in a big way, nor did he gather all the ghost tamers in DaJ City.

Many demon tamers are potential troublemakers; every demon tamer lives a difficult life, and they could die at any time.

Therefore, those who control ghosts are bound to have somewhat unpredictable personalities.

Having already experienced the S-level ghost messenger incident and the S-level ghost painting incident, the city of J cannot withstand any more turmoil.

Therefore, Cao Yanhua plans to secretly announce the list of team leaders. Although this has drawbacks, it can avoid a lot of trouble.

There are quite a few Ghost Tamers who have been selected as team leaders this time.

Li Leping, Li Jun, Liu San, Yang Jian...

Some team leaders' files were sealed away and kept secret as a trump card.

At this moment, Cao Yanhua, the deputy minister, spoke up: "Everyone has seen their own files. They contain the team leader list determined by headquarters beforehand, selected based on overall scores. No one should have any objections to this..."

"However, I recently received news from the Exorcism Society that they really want to recruit Lu Ming. Lu Ming is one of the top ghost controllers in China. He has handled several S-level paranormal incidents and made great contributions. We cannot afford the consequences of losing such a talent."

Upon hearing this, an elderly man with a white beard and a robust appearance glared at the table, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up.

"Outrageous! What kind of class do they have, trying to steal our Ghost Masters? This tiny little place is nothing. I'll blow it up tomorrow."

Although Lu Ming did not join the headquarters, he is still a Ghost Master of China. When it comes to a critical moment of life and death, he certainly will not sit idly by.

But those guys from the Exorcism Society actually set their sights on Lu Ming.

It's hard not to feel angry about this.

Cao Yanhua gestured for the hot-tempered executive to quiet down.

"Don't get agitated. Think about it carefully. Lu Ming looks down on even our headquarters, so how could he possibly respect the Exorcism Society?"

Cao Yanhua continued, "I've gathered everyone here because I have new plans... Although Lu Ming is unwilling to join headquarters, we can involve him in the captain's plan."

"Are you going to make Lu Ming a team leader too?"

Cao Yanhua shook his head: "No, the level of a captain is still too low for Lu Ming at his current level."

"what is that?"

"The name has not yet been determined, but the rank of this position must be above that of the captain. It does not require the person to frequently lead the team to handle paranormal events; the person only needs to play a deterrent and coordinating role."

"Of course, the relevant details still need to be discussed with Lu Ming, and all of this is based on Lu Ming's consent."

The Captain Project, to put it simply, is to have a group of beings whose strength far surpasses that of other Ghost Tamers manage these Ghost Tamers.

Recent events have made headquarters realize that the old method of letting ordinary people give orders is outdated, and even replacing them with a new batch of senior executives won't be very effective.

Ultimately, to gain the respect of others, one must possess genuine strength.

According to Cao Yanhua's idea, the captain is above ordinary people, and above the captain, someone is needed to keep them in check, and Lu Ming is undoubtedly the best candidate.

For some reason, Cao Yanhua trusted Lu Ming completely, both in terms of his abilities and his character.

Dachang City.

Inside a residential community.

Today is the last day of the Mysterious Revival dungeon phase.

Lu Ming stood alone in the dimly lit environment, waiting for a certain moment to arrive.

To be on the safe side, the dungeons I cleared before weren't too difficult, but correspondingly, the rewards I got after clearing them were also relatively small.

This time, if he wants to secure a place in the next round, Lu Ming's choices will definitely be more aggressive.

"If we enter a higher dimension this time, we will most likely encounter powerful high-level challengers... But it shouldn't be a big problem. Mysterious Revival is already considered a top-tier dungeon in the Main God Space, otherwise it wouldn't have been abandoned after only a small part of its development."

"Even if you go to a higher dimension, you don't need to be cautious and act like a grandson."

It was only after Lu Ming understood this that he was so eager to go to the higher-level God Space.

If going there would mean having to cower and act like a subservient grandson, he'd rather stay down there and develop for a while longer.

"As for the mysterious resurrected world..." "There are too many unknown horrors. The Ghost Masters are not worth fearing. After I develop for a while, even the King of the King Organization will not pose a threat to me. What is truly worth noting are supernatural events, such as the recent island ghost temple incident, which contains too many powerful ghosts with both strong mechanisms and high strength."

"In short, we cannot be careless until the very last step."

"Improve my mental strength in the God Space, increase the terror level in the mysterious resurrection world, and collect related puzzle pieces to prepare for the wedding... If I remember correctly, the key to the room in Zhang Dong's haunted house should be in Yang Jian's hands, obtained from the ghost cabinet."

"If the next time I return to the mysterious world of revival, it will also be fourteen days, and Sadako should be able to successfully control the Ghost Well and merge with it perfectly."

Time passes unconsciously.

As the melodious and profound chimes rang out, time seemed to stand still, and a thick, viscous darkness, like mercury, writhed and swallowed everything around it.

White specks of light appeared out of thin air, floated slowly, and finally, under some kind of pull, gathered into lines of small white characters.

[Congratulations to the challenger for completing the second stage of the main storyline of the ??? World, surviving for fourteen days.]

[Reward received: 10 attribute points (already issued)]

[Completed Level ? ? mission. Congratulations, challenger, for earning 20 points. You now have 3240 points, advancing from Level 5 Challenger to Level 5 Challenger.]

The appearance of small white characters signifies that Lu Ming has completed the first stage of the mission in the Main God Space.

Compared to the first stage of the task, the points reward for completing the second stage of the task has increased from 10 points to 20 points.

However, points are different from attribute points.

The difference between the reward of 10 attribute points and 20 attribute points is like night and day.

However, the rewards of 10 points and 20 points are basically the same; they are both insufficient and have little effect.

As he thought about it, the vast and profound darkness before him gradually solidified into a physical form.

Lu Ming left the mysterious world of revival and arrived at the Main God Space.

Before them was a shattered, enormous sphere of light, surrounded by countless tiny specks of light, like some living thing, constantly rising and falling, slowly breathing.

At first glance, it seems alright, but after looking at it for a while, it will give people a sense of unknown fear from the bottom of their hearts, as if everything presented in front of them has a kind of illusory and unreal feeling.

According to some scientists, astronauts may experience a strange sense of fear when looking at Earth from space for extended periods.

Lu Ming didn't know if there was any connection between the two, since he hadn't done any in-depth research on the subject.

Dark shadows swarmed across the main square, overlapping with a dense mass of people.

The first thing Lu Ming did was spend 200 points to exchange for a Sunny Doll, and then spend another 300 points to repair his body.

The last teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll symbolizing good weather) was used in a ghost temple in Japan. Compared to the dangerous situation at the time, 500 points were nothing.

[The item "Sunny Doll" has been redeemed, deducting 200 points. Current points: 3040.]

[The "Body Repair" service has been redeemed, deducting 300 points. Current points: 2740.]

Looking at his pitifully small number of points, Lu Ming sighed. When he had accumulated more than 10,000 points before, he thought that he would never run out of points in a short time.

But when you actually use them, you find that the more precious items are ridiculously expensive.

In particular, high-level abilities that can directly enhance the challenger's own strength.

"Check your accumulated points to date."

Lu Ming can only see the current points.

As for the accumulated points, he didn't keep a record of them and needed to check them separately.

As soon as he finished speaking, relevant information appeared on the panel.

Challenger's Name: Lu Ming

[Rank: Fifth Rank]

[Cumulative Points: 21540]

"I'm still 28460 points short of the 50000 points needed for Tier 6. It seems like a lot, but this time I can try a six-star difficulty dungeon that I've never challenged before."

"Team-based competitive dungeons, formidable opponents, the MVP in the team, and six-star difficulty dungeons—these buffs combined might just create a miracle."

What if Lu Ming doesn't meet the promotion challenge?

It's actually very simple.

After exiting the dungeon, quickly run a lower-star horror movie dungeon to fill in the gaps.

After arriving at the rest area, Lu Ming waited for a while and then his teammates from the previous team arrived one after another.

Normal challengers hope to encounter teammates of the highest rank, but Lu Ming is different.

A bad teammate and a formidable opponent—that's how you get higher point rewards.

Especially this time, Lu Ming is preparing to go for a big one.

There shouldn't be any major problem if I bring along Chen Xin and other acquaintances I already know.

But after meeting these people, Lu Ming realized that he was still too stereotypical.

During Lu Ming's absence, none of Chen Xin, Jiang Zi, Li Tian, ​​and Gao Mingzhe were lost.

Moreover, judging from their identity cards, three of them have become fourth-tier challengers, with Chen Xin even reaching fifth tier.

In this low-dimensional god space, they are already considered to be beings who can stand alone.

"You've made such great progress? That's really beyond my expectations."

Lu Ming originally thought that after these people had tasted success with him, they would stop working hard and would just lie in the rest area waiting for him to come and carry them next time.

But the truth is, they improved a lot during this period.

Jiang Zi chuckled and said proactively, "Not at all, it's all thanks to Captain Lu. If it weren't for Captain Lu leading us through a few rounds, we wouldn't have gotten to where we are today."

Jiang Zi's words were not an awkward compliment.

This is the case in the Main God Space.

The mortality rate is highest during the beginner stage.

At this point, most people only have the initial 10 attribute points. The original intention of the God Space was to encourage challengers to help each other. Taking newcomers to dungeons could increase the score reward by 10%, but it has harmed many newcomers.

In pursuit of high rewards, some teams will shamelessly lure newcomers into challenging dungeons so they can claim the rewards upon completion.

Whether the newcomers live or die is none of their business.

After these people encountered Lu Ming, they were carried to victory in several rounds, accumulating points and attribute points. This allowed them to snowball their rewards, making it easier to clear the horror movie dungeons later on.

Therefore, they were able to get to where they are today thanks to Lu Ming's help.

Lu Ming glanced at Li Tian; this young man, who was always silent, was the one who surprised him the most.

Of the four, he started with the lowest rank and was the least favored, but he still managed to become a fourth-rank challenger.

"This Li Tian is a talent. He's been steadfast in following me from the very beginning, which shows good judgment. Moreover, in terms of his own strength, he's in a league of his own among ordinary challengers..."

Lu Ming put these thoughts aside for the time being and led the way to the main god square where dungeons were to be selected, saying, "Due to some personal plans, I will choose a more difficult dungeon this time, which may be beyond your capabilities. If we encounter danger, I cannot take care of everyone."

"Whether you participate or not is up to you."

Jiang Zi and the others followed without hesitation this time.

During this time, they worked tirelessly to accumulate points and improve their rank, all in an effort to catch up with Lu Ming as much as possible.

The fact that they've come this far proves they're all quite intelligent.

It's impossible to abandon a previous decision just because of a little difficulty.

Jiang Zi whispered to Chen Xin, "Sister Xin, what level of difficulty do you think Captain Lu will challenge this time? Is it five stars?"

Chen Xin shook her head: "I don't know, just follow Ming's arrangements."

In fact, Chen Xin thought that Lu Ming would most likely choose a dungeon that was more than five stars.

Back then, Doflamingo could quickly clear the five-star dungeon "Midnight Ring" all by himself.

If the difficulty level is also five stars this time, there's no need to emphasize it again.

Of course, Chen Xin himself was also very curious about how the more difficult dungeons would be presented and how Ming would deal with them.

As for herself, she had already become a fifth-tier challenger and had also exchanged for her own high-level ability in the Main God Shop, which would come in handy...
