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

Chapter 162 Dungeon Speedrun, High-Dimensional Space (4.4k)

The moment the ghost bride and Lu Ming held the pen together, the chilling feeling on the back of Lu Ming's hand suddenly disappeared.

What's the obstacle?
No impact at all.

The ghost, somewhat similar to the Ouija board spirit, was completely suppressed by the supernatural power of the Red and White Duo.

Lu Ming took the ghost bride's hand and began to write stroke by stroke on the white paper.

What appeared on the white paper was a large character.

ghost!
Whoosh!

In the rest area, a cold wind suddenly rose from nowhere.

Chen Xin and the others instinctively shrank their necks after being hit like that.

The plain white paper seemed to come alive and began to shake on its own.

And the next moment, it broke free from Lu Ming's grasp and floated away.

"As expected, it has been endowed with supernatural properties. This ghost brush is quite interesting."

"What we need to determine now is whether this piece of paper has actually turned into a real vengeful ghost..."

Thinking about this, Lu Ming felt a little nervous.

After all, turning an ordinary blank sheet of paper into a real vengeful ghost is undoubtedly a mind-blowing thing.

Ghosts cannot be killed!
If the blank sheet of paper were to transform into a vengeful ghost, then Lu Ming would gain the ability to create vengeful ghosts...
It seems exaggerated just thinking about it.

The paper ash ghost domain was condensed into a tiny ball, just enough to cover the white paper.

The supernatural invasion began.

After a very brief confrontation, the white paper with the character "ghost" written on it was eroded by the ghost realm. Its surface turned gray and began to rot from the edges, emitting a foul stench, like drain water poured into a sewer.

Lu Ming destroyed the paper using supernatural means.

In other words, this piece of paper is merely a paranormal byproduct, not a real vengeful ghost.

"So it's just about creating supernatural derivatives, but not ghosts from a mysterious resurrected world... I see."

Lu Ming put away the Ghost Domain and the Ghost Brush he had just acquired.

On the surface, this ghost brush has no effect on improving Lu Ming's strength.

However, as long as Lu Ming opens his mind, he can think of more uses.

"Wedding invitations and couplets needed for weddings, as well as eulogies and funeral couplets needed for funerals, can all be written with this magic pen."

"These things are just embellishments for the wedding and funeral; there's no need for real vengeful ghosts. Supernatural derivatives are enough..."

Seeing Lu Ming's thoughtful expression, Jiang Zi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Captain Lu, how are the supernatural props this time? How do they compare to the rattle drum from last time?"

"Not bad, I'm very satisfied."

Lu Ming answered truthfully.

The purpose of this ghost-shaped brush is obvious; it's something you can understand at a glance without waiting.

"That's good. It seems we've had some good luck this time."

The unknown rewards that Jiang Zi and others received were mostly attribute points of varying amounts, while only Chen Xin, who ranked second in contribution, received a rare supernatural item.

Beside her, Chen Xin asked, "Ming-ge, are you leaving?"

Based on past experience, Lu Ming would disappear for a period of time after completing a horror movie instance in the Main God Space.

Nobody knows what he did during that time.

All I know is that this is probably part of the plan.

However, this time, Lu Ming shook his head and denied it, saying, "I'm not leaving yet. I'm planning to challenge a horror movie instance."

"Ok?"

Not only Chen Xin, but the others were also stunned.

Gao Mingzhe was the first to react, saying, "Captain Lu is planning to advance to the sixth rank in one go, right? It shouldn't be much different. For Captain Lu, it's just a matter of one more dungeon run."

Lu Ming nodded and said, "That's right. I plan to enter the higher-dimensional God Space as soon as possible... There should be more information there that we can't learn about here."

He has accumulated 44540 points, which is 5460 points short of the 50000 points required to advance to the sixth tier.

It really doesn't cost much.

"I plan to speedrun this horror movie instance. Li Tian can come with me, and the rest of you can make your own arrangements. No objections?"

Lu Ming's original plan was to quickly clear the dungeon himself, which was the most efficient approach.

However, considering Li Tian's contributions in the [Nightmare on Elm Street] instance, he decided to let Li Tian join him to earn some points.

This arrangement will not have much impact on Lu Ming himself.

Moreover, given Lu Ming's personality, even if he doesn't say it, Li Tian has made contributions and has a relatively high level of ideological awareness, so Lu Ming will naturally lend him a hand when the opportunity arises.

Jiang Zi and the others weren't stupid; they immediately understood what Lu Ming meant.

Although they envied Li Tian, ​​they had no objections to the arrangement.

Jiang Zi smiled and said, "When I become a high-level challenger, I want Captain Lu to take me on a private trip."

"After this dungeon, Ming-ge is going to the higher-dimensional God Space, right? If you still want Ming-ge to take you, you'll have to go into the higher-dimensional God Space too..."

The group was still having a normal conversation, but the thought that Lu Ming was about to leave made them all feel a little down.

Lu Ming saw through their thoughts and shook his head, saying, "With your strength, don't rush into team competitions while I'm not around. It's not difficult to steadily advance to the sixth rank."

"..."

Chen Xin nodded and said, "Ming-ge is right. This is also a test for us."

Beside him, Li Tian looked somewhat flustered and at a loss. He said to Lu Ming, "Captain Lu, if I go into the dungeon with you, will it affect your speedrun...?"

"Just choose a four-star dungeon, no need to enable team battles. If you don't even have that much confidence, then you're really pathetic..."

------

After a brief selection process, Lu Ming chose the four-star difficulty horror movie instance, [Curse].

The dungeon quests are very simple and straightforward.

The goal is to eliminate the Great Black Buddha Mother and stop the spread of the curse.

To be honest, Lu Ming made this decision with some personal motives.

He used to feel like he was being constantly cursed when he watched this movie; it was very unlucky.

Lu Ming was furious at the time, and the next day he went to class and recommended the horror movie to his best friend. As expected, he got beaten up.

This movie is roughly about...

Six years ago, Li Ruonan, her boyfriend, and her cousin formed a team and accidentally entered a forbidden tunnel in Chenjia Village, where the evil god Dahei Buddha Mother was worshipped, during an adventure, thus violating the taboo.

This led to a series of mysterious deaths among the participants, with only the pregnant Li Ruonan surviving.

Six years later, Li Ruonan took back her daughter Duoduo, who had been in the care of a foster family, and tried to start a new life.

But after the daughter returned home, strange things began to happen around her, and Duoduo herself contracted a strange illness and was in critical condition.

To save her daughter, Li Ruonan is forced to uncover the truth of what happened six years ago and seek help from religious forces, but is "forced" to spread a curse.

What's most unsettling is that Li Ruonan interacts with the audience through the camera, teaching them to recite a strange incantation.

"Fire Buddha cultivates oneness, mind is silent."

Li Ruonan claimed that she was praying for her daughter.

In reality, her true purpose was to have viewers share the burden of the curse.

The images recorded by Li Ruonan have themselves become a medium for the curse...
"This Li Ruonan is truly an oddball among oddballs, completely tarnishing the image of a mother. At the time, an elderly couple voluntarily performed rituals to bless Li Ruonan, believing that if she could endure seven days without food or water, the curse would be broken..."

"But this guy was too clever for his own good, wasted the opportunity, and even caused the old couple to die tragically in their home. He was both wicked and stupid, and deserved to die."

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Ming led Li Tian into the instance.

"This dungeon isn't too difficult. You don't need to do anything with me. I'll just let you get some points when the rewards are distributed."

"Okay, Captain Lu."

···········
Soon, the two entered the horror movie instance, [Curse]. The name "Great Black Buddha Mother" sounds frightening, but whether considering the difficulty rating of the Main God Space or her actual performance in the instance, she is simply not worthy of the word "Buddha".

He's definitely a lost soul.

She's not even as good as the older sister in "Double Vision".

Lu Ming used a mysteriously resurrected ghost to confront the Great Black Buddha Mother, which can be described as a dimensional reduction attack.

To clear this dungeon, Lu Ming only needs to face the Great Black Buddha Mother and defeat her.

But before that, Lu Ming used a ghost brush to write a few words on a piece of white paper, creating a ghost slave and giving it the order to kill Li Ruonan.

He then led Li Tian to kill the Great Black Buddha Mother.

After removing the red cloth from the Buddha Mother's body, Li Tian was startled by the eerie aura that rushed towards him.

However, Lu Ming's subsequent actions gave him a great sense of security.

The ghostly realm unfolds, and everything around is shrouded in a gray, ghostly aura, losing its original colors.

The supernatural corrosive force was fatal to this wandering ghost, instantly corrupting it completely.

On the other side, Li Ruonan, who was recording curse videos at home with her daughter Duoduo and causing trouble for others, was startled by a ghost servant who broke into her home without warning.

Then, without any resistance, he was brutally murdered without any suspense.

···········
The corresponding prompt appears on the panel.

【curse】

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆

[Mission: Defeat the Great Black Mother and stop the spread of the curse]

[Current task completed]

[Reward: 10 attribute points (already issued)]

Because Lu Ming achieved 99.99% damage output again, and this dungeon was a speedrun, the reward points were relatively high.

A total of 6000 points.

As a mere accessory, Li Tian didn't receive many points, but getting so many points for free was naturally a good thing for him.

This was the first time Li Tian had experienced the feeling of being carried by a max-level expert, but lacking in cultural knowledge, he could only exclaim, "Captain Lu, you're amazing..."

"It's just a four-star dungeon, nothing special."

Lu Ming's face showed no signs of emotional fluctuation or change.

He looked at the changes on the main god panel.

Current points: 24540 → 30540

[Cumulative Points: 44540 points → 50540 points]

[Congratulations to the current challenger! Based on accumulated points, you have been promoted from a Tier 5 challenger to a Tier 6 challenger.]

[A higher-dimensional God Space has been unlocked. Do you wish to proceed to the higher-dimensional God Space immediately?]

【whether】

Just as he had expected, Lu Ming did not make a choice immediately.

Moreover, he noticed a detail that was quite intriguing.

Initially, the "yes" and "no" in the Main God Space were the opposite of normal habits.

This was also the direct reason why Lu Ming accidentally entered the mysterious world of revival for the first time.

I finally managed to change my habits, but the order of the options on the main god panel has been switched back again.

"It seems that fixed mindsets are still undesirable; we must carefully read the text on the main control panel before making any choices..."

When Lu Ming brought Li Tian back to the rest area, Chen Xin and the others were still there.

They looked at Lu Ming as if they had seen a ghost.

I originally thought speedrunning just meant completing horror movie-themed dungeons a little faster.

So, Captain Lu, you actually speedrunned it?
It's probably been less than five hours since the two of them entered the instance, right?
The four-star difficulty horror movie dungeon was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables in Lu Ming's eyes, and the group once again directly felt Lu Ming's power.

While other challengers were desperately struggling to survive in the horror movie dungeon for a few points, Lu Ming had already started speedrunning.

It just goes to show how huge the gap is between people.

Ignoring Chen Xin and the others' inner thoughts, Lu Ming cut to the chase: "I don't have much time left in this low-dimensional space. An invitation to a higher dimension has popped up on the main god panel, and it will expire if I don't choose it soon..."

"Before I leave, I will leave you a few things."

Lu Ming first took out four oil paintings and distributed them to the group.

"When in danger, you can temporarily hide inside the oil painting, and the evil spirits will not invade for a short period of time."

These four oil paintings represent new uses that Lu Ming developed for the Ghost Painting Ghost Realm after conducting some research.

Due to the unique nature of ghost paintings, each derivative ghost painting can be considered as an entrance into the world within the painting.

However, experiments have shown that the Ghost Realm of the Mysterious Revival World cannot be crossed.

Once Lu Ming and the others are separated, and even when they are no longer in the same dimension, the derived ghost painting will form a separate small world, which can serve as a temporary shelter for hiding.

Before the others could even gasp in surprise, Lu Ming pulled out another tattered rag doll.

This is a substitute doll sewn by Meng Xiaodong in the mysterious world of resurrection.

The palm-sized rag doll, made of dirty old fabric, was stuffed with something unknown and emitted a rotten, putrid stench.

Moreover, there were gold needles about the thickness of a pencil stuck in the rag doll's limbs, belly, and head.

Six golden needles were firmly fixed inside the briefcase.

Substitute dolls are extremely precious in any world.

Lu Ming said, "This thing has a simple function: it can die in your place once, but there can only be one, because it is a very precious supernatural item."

Several people's expressions changed.

A supernatural item that can replace the user's death once is undoubtedly of great value.

After all, life is the most important thing; if you lose your life, you lose everything.

Even if this item were sold for an exorbitant price in the God's Shop, someone would still buy it.

But in fact, Jiang Zi had never seen any similar supernatural items in the God's Shop.

"Captain Lu, this is far too valuable..."

Lu Ming interrupted her, coldly saying, "As your captain, I will help you and increase your chances of survival, but that's all... If you still die after I provide help, then you can't blame anyone."

"I don't want Wu Lei's situation to happen again."

After giving his instructions, Lu Ming led the ghost bride away from the rest area under the watchful eyes of the others.

He was telling the truth.

This help meant nothing to Lu Ming.

At most, it gave Chen Xin and others a certain advantage over other challengers.

If they can make good use of this small advantage and steadily improve their strength, then they have the potential to become strong.

On the semi-transparent God panel in front of him, Lu Ming selected "Yes" on the left and entered the higher-dimensional God space.

The countless orbs of light around him vanished instantly, and Lu Ming felt his world plunge into a void of darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, the new space slowly unfolded before him...

Meanwhile, in the original dimension, announcements appeared on the panels of all the challengers.

It's news about Lu Ming going to the higher-dimensional God Space.

Even in the lower-dimensional main god space, there are countless different planes, so challengers can be immediately matched with the corresponding teams when engaging in team competitions.

In the plane Lu Ming was in before, he was the first challenger to go to the higher-dimensional God Space.
