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

Chapter 159 Lu Ming: Are you sure a ghost will die if it's killed? (4.6k)

As top-tier Tier 5 challengers with extensive dungeon experience, Yumi and her group of five immediately recognized the clock on Lu Ming's wrist.

This is a clock that can lull you to sleep when shaken.

Not many people would exchange for this supernatural item, because the clock has very strict conditions for use. If the other party's mental strength is higher than the user's, it is unlikely to work.

Furthermore, even if a challenger with strong mental power possesses a clock, they cannot guarantee that they will hypnotize their target.

In summary, this is a useless tool that only appears useful on the surface.

If Yumi and the others had taken precautions in advance and exchanged for the appropriate items, they would most likely not have fallen victim to the trap.

However, judging from the name of the dungeon, "A Nightmare on Elm Street," it's hard to imagine that it's a dungeon highly related to dreams.

Boom!
As the clock swung back and forth on the old straw rope, Yamamoto, who was standing at the front, felt a wave of dizziness and was the first to collapse to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

"???"

Yumi and the others' expressions changed again. They really couldn't understand why an ordinary supernatural item could have such a terrifying effect in Lu Ming's hands.

"This challenger who is leading the challenge is definitely not an ordinary fifth-tier fighter."

Yumi made this judgment in just a moment.

Lu Ming maintained his stiff smile, swinging the pendulum in his hand, which affected the spirits of the others.

For someone like him, who specializes in all aspects of mental energy, using the pendulum as a supernatural prop is like a game-changer.

In the gloomy, ghostly world, several island nation challengers fell one after another.

Although Lu Ming did not kill them directly, he put these guys into a dream world. Given Freddy's personality, he would definitely not let them go.

The reason for doing this was that Lu Ming had also considered that even if the ghost painting was used to pull the entire city into the ghost realm, the attacking team would still search for and hunt ordinary people in the city.

···········
the other side.

Not long after Yamamoto entered the dream, a scraping sound rang out, and a hand wearing a steel claw glove pierced through Yamamoto's chest cavity, spurting out blood.

Not only him, but several other challengers beside him were also killed by Freddy in the dream.

This outcome was entirely within Lu Ming's expectations.

Even though Yamamoto possessed the ability to cut through space, the ability hadn't had time to invade the dream world during the initial period after he entered it.

If an ordinary person were to fight Freddy in a dream, being killed would be inevitable.

Because it was so easy to deal with, Freddy could play with his prey who entered his dream like a cat playing with a mouse, without any scruples.

Of the five-person team, four have fallen in the blink of an eye, leaving only Yumi struggling to hold on.

She was clearly also affected by the paranormal clock.

But she would rather cut herself than let herself be sober.

This kind of willpower was terrifying in Lu Ming's eyes.

Of course, Lu Ming was only somewhat moved, but did not feel nervous at all.

Because the final outcome will not change.

Yumi either risks losing points by making a strong move, or she gets toyed with at will in Lu Ming's Ghostly Painting Domain.

Either stay where you are, enduring a humiliating and unwilling sleep while battling the ghostly clock, and then face the vengeful ghost Freddy in your dreams...
However, in reality, neither of these scenarios occurred.

A resolute look appeared on Yumi's delicately beautiful face as she softly murmured, "Please, do not die."

The next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

As Yumi's ability was activated, some kind of supernatural force acted on Yamamoto and the others, and their gradually cooling corpses were pieced back together by the supernatural force, regaining their vitality.

Yamamoto, who was originally certain of death, slowly got up from the ground, looked around, and said with a gloomy face, "Just now, did I die again?"

Sato also stood up, stiffly twisting his neck, making a cracking sound: "If it weren't for Miss Yumi, we would have already been sent to hell by that vengeful ghost."

"It's not a pleasant feeling to be tricked, so let's deal with the current trouble."

The four who had come back to life looked at Lu Ming and the others with unfriendly expressions.

Lu Ming was also somewhat surprised.

The three minutes that the advance token bought him only allowed him to witness Yamamoto's abilities; he was unaware of Captain Yumi's abilities.

He hadn't expected Yumi's abilities to be so unique.

Please do not die.

A high-level conceptual ability.

No wonder even Yamamoto, who can smear space, willingly obeys this woman's commands...
Someone like her, no matter which team she's in, would be the absolute core of the team and would need to be protected at all costs.

Chen Xin glanced at Lu Ming and asked, "Brother Ming, what do we do now? Should we continue fighting?"

If the sneak attack fails and the two sides start fighting again, Lu Ming's side will definitely be at a disadvantage.

If the opposing team can stall for time and give Freddy enough time to kill the citizens of Springwood, then the defending team will lose this team competition.

Lu Ming had clearly figured this out as well, but he didn't make a decision immediately.

No matter which choice you make, there are both advantages and disadvantages.

Therefore, Lu Ming planned to wait for Yumi to take the first step, and then flexibly adjust his strategy.

"Yamamoto, Sato, don't be impulsive. Getting entangled with this guy here is not our goal. Let's go."

Although Yamamoto's opinions sometimes differed from Yumi's, he never questioned the captain's decisions.

Using their supernatural abilities, the group quickly left the spot following Captain Yumi's orders.

"Since they've backed down, let's give chase."

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, his figure did not disappear from the spot like Yamamoto.

He just stood there quietly, waiting.

Boom! ! !
With a dull thud, Yumi and the other four fell to the ground, as if they had been stopped by an invisible wall.

Yumi and the others, who had clearly walked far away from sight, suddenly returned to the same spot.

This scene is truly difficult to explain using common sense.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

The entire Chunmu City has been pulled into the Ghost Painting Ghost Realm by Lu Ming.

In the Ghost Realm, no matter what happens, it's all within Lu Ming's grasp.

How could an ordinary high-level ability possibly outshine Lu Ming in terms of rules?

In the hazy sky, fluffy paper dust continued to fall. Lu Ming, holding the ghost bride's hand, stood still, his eyes darting around as he considered his next move.

If he had just a little more points, he would have taken the penalty without hesitation and eliminated Yumi and Yamamoto from the attacking team.

But Lu Ming didn't dare to gamble.

He didn't yet have the confidence to defy the rules of the main god, nor did he know how many points he would lose for intentionally killing a challenger, what the punishment would be if his points went negative, or whether he would be directly eliminated...
"The clock's sneak attack failed... We didn't consider the problem comprehensively enough."

"Staying here with them is undoubtedly giving Freddy an opportunity to kill. That demon has been strengthened by the main god, and his bloodlust has greatly increased. He will definitely kill everyone in Springwood City."

"But if we ignore these people, they'll definitely be ambushed when I fight Freddy in the dream..."

Even if the Ghost Domain blocks the space, the attacking team could still sneak over while Lu Ming and the others are asleep.

He wasn't so careless as to enter the dream world before the enemy had been completely eliminated.

In short, Lu Ming and his group are now in a dilemma, facing attacks from both sides. Killing carries certain risks, but not killing is not an option.

"I'll use the Ghost Domain in reality to hold off the attacking team, while Chen Xin and the other three enter the dream world to deal with Freddy. Freddy should be able to pull multiple people into a dream at the same time now... Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it's the only way we can try..."

To be honest, Lu Ming was a little unsure about Chen Xin and the other three.

They have a significant advantage over their competitors of the same level.

But Lu Ming was essentially forcing them to play high-level games.

In Freddy's dream world, where he was empowered by the God Space, Lu Ming himself couldn't believe that his four teammates could accomplish such a difficult task.

"Forget it, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore..."

Lu Ming was about to give the order when, unexpectedly, Li Tian, ​​who had been relatively unknown in the team and rarely spoke, stepped forward.

Li Tian glanced at Lu Ming, then at Chen Xin, and said, "That woman on the other side who only knows how to cheat is really troublesome. We have to find a way to take her down... Captain Lu, I understand your concerns, so why don't I give it a try this time and take her down?"

What do you mean?
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It took him a while to react.

Li Tian is going to take forceful action on his behalf and eliminate Yumi.

After Yumi's death, the remaining few were easier to deal with.

But······
Li Tiancai had only recently reached the fourth rank and hadn't even exchanged for any high-rank abilities yet. How could he possibly defeat Yumi?
"Sister Xin, Captain Lu, please."

After saying that, Li Tian tossed a blessing talisman to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming vaguely guessed something, his expression shifted, and he activated the talisman. The yellow paper burst into flames, but against the backdrop of the ghostly painting, the flames burning the talisman exuded a gloomy aura.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xin used her advanced abilities.

She chose to exchange for a support-type ability.

It can grant other challengers a random high-level ability.

This process is completely random and cannot be chosen. Moreover, the stronger the abilities bestowed upon other challengers, the more terrifying the side effects Chen Xin will suffer.

When Chen Xin can no longer bear it, the process will stop on its own.

Clearly, Li Tian wanted Chen Xin to grant him a high-level ability so he could use this opportunity to eliminate Yumi, the most crucial member of the opposing team of five.

To increase the probability of refreshing to a powerful high-level ability, he also had Lu Ming help activate a blessing talisman...
It has to be said that this method is more reliable than the one Lu Ming had thought of before.

However, it will put Li Tian and Chen Xin to a severe test of their personal qualities.

Moreover, Li Tian had the same concerns as Lu Ming.

He only had 11,000 points that he had painstakingly saved up.

He accumulated all of this from watching countless horror movies, so that he could exchange it for higher-level abilities after reaching the fifth rank.

Furthermore, Li Tian was unsure how many points he would lose for killing Yumi, and whether the God of God would directly annihilate him if his points were reduced to a negative number.

Or rather...
Even with the buff provided by Chen Xin, he still couldn't kill Yumi.

There were too many things to consider, so Li Tian simply stopped thinking about anything and acted according to his instincts.

Beside her, Chen Xin subconsciously looked at Lu Ming and asked, "Brother Ming, what should we do?"

"Listen to him, give it a shot."

If this attempt succeeds, not only will we be able to clear this dungeon smoothly, but we will also be able to figure out some of the rules related to the God Space.

···········
Yumi stared at Lu Ming and his group with a wary expression.

She realized that among the five challengers, only Lu Ming was the most threatening.

He can create a painted world that covers the entire city, and the ghost bride he leads exudes a chilling aura that gives off an extremely dangerous feeling.

This isn't a challenger; it's a real ghost.

Although she didn't know where Lu Ming got the ghost from, Yumi didn't have time to think about such things in her current situation.

She lacked confidence in handling the situation, but fortunately, the other party didn't seem to dare to act rashly either.

"Don't be nervous, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on us..."

"If they left on their own, they must have hidden somewhere and entered the dream world. What we need to do is simple: create an opportunity for that ghost to kill..."

The God Space assigned them to be Freddy's teammates.

But the vengeful ghost didn't seem to recognize its five teammates at all.

They kill anyone they see, regardless of whether they are friend or foe.

Not for profit, but purely to enjoy the despair and fear of the prey, this is a psychopath whose psychology is twisted to the extreme.

Yumi felt a bit resentful at the thought that she was giving this pervert an opportunity.

But in order to survive and clear the dungeon, I have no choice but to endure it for now.

Just as she was thinking this, the surrounding air grew even colder, and the already gloomy sky became even more oppressive.

The ashes fell faster, and on the gray ground, countless ashes formed crisscrossing paths.

Chen Xin used her abilities to add a brand new high-level ability to Li Tianfu.

Stab it! ! !

A charred arm appeared out of thin air and pierced Li Tian's chest cavity.

What's terrifying is that after Li Tian's chest cavity was ripped open, not a single drop of blood flowed from the dark gash, and the wound continued to widen.

A charred ghost crawled out of his body and walked stiffly toward Yumi and the other four.

Li Tian's body was thrown on the ground like trash. His whole body was like a deflated balloon, with no blood flowing out and no internal organs. He was just an empty shell, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"???"

Lu Ming's eyelids twitched.

Rather than saying that Li Tian controls this ghost, it would be more accurate to say that this ghost was born here using Li Tian as a vessel.

The vengeful ghost was charred black, its burns even more horrific than Freddy's, leaving only barely discernible facial features.

The reason he walked towards Yumi and the others was entirely because of the lingering obsession that Li Tian had left him.

Kill Yumi.

Chen Xin, standing nearby, was in no better condition.

Her eyes rolled upwards, and the pupils were no longer visible; all that could be seen were a pair of deathly white pupils, devoid of even bloodshot veins.

Thick, viscous blood flowed from Chen Xin's seven orifices.

This time, the level of ability was too high. For every second that it was maintained, Chen Xin had to pay a heavy price.

Seeing the charred ghost approaching Miss Yumi step by step, Yamamoto immediately waved his hand, slicing away the space where the ghost was located, along with the ghost itself.

But it had no effect.

His abilities are insufficient to rid the ghost.

Another team member stretched out a hand, and the flesh of that hand was quickly eroded by the supernatural, leaving only a skeletal arm crawling with maggots.

This team member wanted to use his abilities to stop the ghost that was crawling out of Li Tian's body.

But the ghost acted as if it didn't care about him at all, and casually slapped him away, sending him flying far away.

The ghost has only one goal from beginning to end.

That's Yumi.

Lu Ming thought to himself in shock, "This has already transcended the realm of humanity..."

"Compared to the mysterious resurrected vengeful spirit, this ghost is more like Jason from American Horror Story—possessing immense power and moving slowly, but with a unique method of transportation that allows it to appear before you in an instant..."

"Miss Yumi, I'll take you away."

One of the team members wanted to use his abilities to get Yumi away from this dangerous place.

Yumi shook her head and refused, "It's no use. Have you forgotten about the ghost wall we just encountered? This gray world is his territory. We can't get out of here."

Zheng! ! !
The long sword is unsheathed.

Yumi drew her long sword.

Although facing such a terrifying presence made her body tremble slightly, she still encouraged her teammates with sharp eyes: "People die when they are killed."

"Ghosts are the same."

Lu Ming, who was not far away, almost laughed when he heard this.

"Not bad, they're a Demon Slayer Corps member. Interesting."
