Chapter 217 The Crimson Fiend Puzzle, Simultaneously Dismembering the Ghost Opera Troupe! (4k)

After quickly determining the source of the sound, Lu Ming used the Ghost Domain Operation to begin a rapid search.

He was more interested in the opera singing than in room 31.

It was hard to pinpoint the exact location of the sound; it seemed to come from all directions. However, for Lu Ming, tracing the source of the sound was not difficult.

Led by Lu Ming, the group continued deeper into the area. When they passed the crossroads for the third time, the sound of opera singing finally came into view.

Lu Ming smelled a foul stench of corpses.

The pungent stench of decay, accompanied by the splashing sound of water, conjured up an image of a rotting corpse dripping foul-smelling bodily fluids onto the carpet.

“A vengeful ghost is lurking nearby.”

Such a thought arose in Lu Ming's mind.

If he listened carefully, he could hear a very slight creaking sound coming from the room.

But upon closer listening, the silence was eerily quiet, with no further sounds coming from the room.

"This is······"

Lu Ming looked up at the door number illuminated by the porch light.

Room 31.

The room he was delivering the letter to, number 31, was the same room from which the opera singing was coming from.

No one would believe it was just a coincidence.

Regardless of whether there were traps inside, Lu Ming had no choice but to enter.

To be on the safe side, he entered the room in a way that was different from the normal way.

The five layers of ghostly energy invaded the room, tearing a gap in the dim space.

However, the invasion did not go as smoothly as expected. As Lu Ming's ghost domain invaded, the opera singing became clearer and clearer, and finally it even sounded as if a vengeful ghost was perched on their shoulders and singing in their ears.

This is an attack on the level of consciousness. Lu Ming can withstand it with the help of Freddy's protection, but the others, including Ye Zhen, will be killed sooner or later by this sharp and piercing opera singing.

Lu Ming was startled and dared not allow the ghost domain to continue its invasion, so he stopped in time.

He thought to himself, "This place is getting more and more dangerous; it's not safe to stay any longer... First, the room order was disrupted, and then the terrifying opera singing started..."

"After this, we need to find someone to completely seal off this place..."

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached.

Countless bloody footprints appeared on the walls, ceiling, and carpet at the same time.

The bloodstains were fresh and had not congealed, but they were intermittent, giving the impression that an unseen ghost was walking in an incomprehensible way.

Lu Ming stopped the ghost domain invasion, but the clattering footsteps still lingered.

He pulled out a golden bullet from somewhere and threw it on the ground.

Supernatural phenomena cannot affect gold.

After marking the room, even if something unusual happens later, they will be able to find room 31 without any problems.

Li Yang said, "Something's not right. We've been hearing opera singing coming from the room where we're supposed to deliver the message. Ordinary people playing the piano in a haunted place like we just saw is a minority, which means there's a ghost in room 31..."

"This is not a message delivery task that a single messenger could accomplish."

Delivering a letter to a haunted room will most likely trigger the ghost's murderous tendencies.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the ghost in the room is definitely not insignificantly terrifying.

Even if they leave now, the ghosts will invade and launch a terrible supernatural attack on them.

"Captain, should we leave here?"

Li Yang looked serious.

The situation is now out of control, and the deadline for the delivery mission is still far off.

They don't need to rush; they can wait until they are fully prepared before coming.

Lu Ming shook his head: "It's too late to leave now."

As soon as they finished speaking, clear footsteps approached them, and a figure emerged from the darkness, gradually becoming clearer.

No, that's not right. It wasn't one person, but two, three, four...

Lu Ming and the others finally saw what these ghosts looked like.

This is a group of "people" dressed in loose theatrical robes. Their exposed skin is deathly pale, and they walk with their eyes closed, like a herded corpse.

The lead ghost was dressed in a bright red theatrical costume, while the ghosts following behind him wore costumes of various colors, including black, green, and blue.

The number of ghosts was too many to count at a glance, but they appeared enormous in this small space.

So many ghostly figures together resembled a theatrical troupe, aimlessly wandering through the darkness.

Sun Rui, leaning on his cane, asked with a grave expression, "Are these things ghost servants, or real vengeful spirits?"

For ordinary people, whether these ghostly figures are merely ghost servants born from supernatural phenomena or are real vengeful spirits, the ending is pretty much the same: no one can survive.

However, they are already considered to be among the strongest fighters in the paranormal world.

It can still cope with a few dozen ghost slaves.

Lu Ming's answer extinguished Sun Rui's hope: "They are not ghost slaves, each one is a separate vengeful ghost, and they are not ordinary vengeful ghosts... Every room in the Caesars Hotel is unusual, but even these rooms cannot contain the ghosts in front of us, which is enough to explain something."

"Why have so many reservations? I, Ye, will eliminate them one by one!"

Ye Zhen finally found his chance to show off. He laughed, drew his longsword, and charged towards the ghosts in front of him.

The supernatural battles continued one after another, each ending in an instant, leaving the audience dazzled.

Ye Zhen had dealt with situations like this before, where he faced multiple vengeful ghosts at the same time.

They have a cemetery in the city of Da Hai, where there are many such terrifying ghosts.

But the current situation seems to be different.

If you single out a ghost, Ye Zhen could definitely handle it easily.

The current situation is that Ye Zhen simply cannot handle these dozens of ghosts at the same time.

After a brief stalemate, even with the scapegoat protecting him, Ye Zhen was still unable to do anything to the ghosts in the corridor, and couldn't even stop them from continuing to advance.

The restrictions of the five-layered ghost realm are nothing to these ghosts.

Pat, pat, pat!
The sound of raindrops falling.

It's just that it's not the crisp sound of rain hitting a cement floor.

The sound was deep, resonant, and had a bass tone.

It was as if it had been smashed onto the carpet, becoming drops of ordinary sewage, which were then absorbed by the dirty, old carpet.

Lu Ming made his move.

He brought all these eerie pools of water.

If that's all there is to it, it's far from enough.

However, as the sound of raindrops gradually increased, a thin layer of water had already covered the carpet, and the water droplets joined together to form a path covered by water.

Any evil spirit that comes into contact with the puddles will be suppressed to some extent. However, these ghostly figures seemed completely unaware of this, and without the slightest hesitation or pausing, they walked towards the eerie puddle.

pat!

A pair of black cloth shoes, the kind only the dead would wear, stepped into the puddle, making a crisp sound.

Cold, stiff, numb.

After the first vengeful ghost stepped into the puddle, the others followed suit.

Li Yang's expression shifted: "Captain, are you going to drown all the ghosts?"

Ghosts cannot be killed; that is an ironclad rule.

Even the deepest puddles wouldn't drown a vengeful ghost.

However, just as with other ghosts, only a ghost can fight against another ghost.

Although the stagnant water, which is also tainted by the supernatural, cannot "kill" the evil spirit, it can restrict or divert it, thus resolving the current crisis.

Seeing this, a glimmer of hope finally rose in Li Yang's heart.

But after all the ghosts were submerged in the floodwater, a series of crisp splashing sounds rang out.

The ghost that had sunk into the water miraculously floated back to the surface in a bizarre way.

It cannot sink!

With the current suppression capabilities of the accumulated water, it is simply impossible to restrain so many terrifying ghosts at the same time.

This phenomenon also confirms Lu Ming's previous statement.

Only true vengeful ghosts, and those of extremely high terror, can escape the supernatural influence of Ghost Lake and sink to the bottom.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Ye Zhen from the paranormal forum couldn't deal with these vengeful ghosts, and even the ghost groom Lu Ming couldn't do anything about them.

Is this really a mission that the messenger on the first floor received?

The same question arose in their minds for the second time.

The Ghost Post Office in Dahan City was ultimately just a place to select outstanding messengers, not a place to kill people.

If such a task were assigned to a messenger on the first floor, the messenger who received the task would undoubtedly die.

That means there's only one possibility: Lu Ming was set up by the Ghost Post Office.

The ghost post office specifically made delivering mail more difficult for him.

“Damn ghosts, they’ve gone too far. You all go first. With me, Ye, covering the rear, not a single ghost will cross this line.”

Ye Zhen gritted his teeth and drew his sword again, aiming at the approaching ghost.

He wanted to buy time so that Lu Ming and the others could leave first.

Lu Ming remained expressionless and did not take the opportunity to escape as Ye Zhen had suggested. Instead, he stepped forward and took out the rusty machete from the Ghost Domain.

"Leave this to me."

The chipped blade was pointed at the vengeful ghost not far away.

Arm raised, gaze fixed straight ahead, the fatal curse of murder is triggered.

The supernatural floodwaters couldn't completely submerge all the ghosts, which was within Lu Ming's expectations.

Or rather, Lu Ming never intended to deal with this crucial piece of the Red Fiend puzzle using such a simple method.

If confinement and restriction were so easy, then Red Fiend's piece of the puzzle would be far too weak.

Of course, the water covering the entire corridor wasn't entirely useless; it slowed down the movement of the group of ghosts and reduced the level of terror.

"This strike will be terrifying enough to dismember the first vengeful ghost... But that's not enough. The opera troupe ghosts are a whole. If we only dismember the first vengeful ghost, it will definitely cause some more terrible mutations, which is something I don't want to see."

With a thought, dozens of Tomie appeared in the dark corridor.

They each held a mirror in their hands, the reflections overlapping, each mirror showing a rusty machete.

Because the corridor was too narrow and cramped, and there were too many ghosts, many of the little Tomie stood on the walls and the ceiling in an incomprehensible way.

Dozens of blades were slashed out simultaneously.

However, this time was different from the last time when the ghost-slaying knife was used in a supernatural event.

This time, Lu Ming did not let the supernatural attacks of the Ghost Cleaver overlap, but instead unleashed dozens of slashes simultaneously.

He had to dismember all the vengeful spirits in front of him in an instant to prevent the mutation from happening.

Without any suspense, as soon as Lu Ming raised his hand holding the ghost-chopping knife, before it even fell, the heads of dozens of ghosts were chopped off together.

The lifeless heads of the ghosts rolled off their necks and fell into the puddles.

It then quickly sank and disappeared from Lu Ming's sight.

Because the vengeful ghost was dismembered, its level of terror decreased, and its body, which was floating on the water, also descended.

Thump! Thump! Thump!
The group of vengeful ghosts, who were originally unable to be submerged by the floodwaters, were now being swallowed up one after another by the eerie water, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"Dismember them all at the same time?"

Upon seeing this, even Ye Zhen's eyelids twitched.

Although he is arrogant, he is definitely not stupid.

The reason I let Lu Ming and the others go first while I stayed behind was because I realized that these ghosts were too terrifying and would be difficult for them to deal with.

However, Lu Ming handled it with ease, and it seemed that everything was going according to his plan.

Click!

After all the vengeful spirits were submerged in the water, a faint sound of ceramic shattering rang out.

A deep crack appeared on Lu Ming's forehead, extending all the way to his neck.

From an outsider's perspective, Lu Ming looked as if he had been slashed in half from the top of his head down, a sight that was inexplicably eerie.

This is far from the end.

Several more cracking sounds rang out.

After slashing a few times, several deep, bottomless slits appeared on Lu Ming's body.

Needless to say, even a ghost tamer would have no chance of surviving if they suffered such damage, with the supernatural forces within their body being dismembered and suppressed.

But Lu Ming remained calm. Water curtains appeared in front of him, and black film could be vaguely seen within them.

As a small section of the film burned, Lu Ming's body gradually became ethereal, and the cracks on its surface closed up and healed.

Using the water from the ghost well and the eerie black film, Lu Ming achieved an alternative kind of reboot, which only works on a single entity and has certain limitations.

However, it can completely restore Lu Ming's body to a previous time period, which is a supernatural ability that can be described as a bug.

The side effects of unleashing dozens of slashes can be disregarded due to this restart.

Looking at the calm surface of the water before him, now completely unharmed, Lu Ming thought to himself, "Is it over?"

"If it's finished, then we can start trying to complete this puzzle..."
