Chapter 218 Upgrading Supernatural Weapons, Lu Ming Wins Without Even Trying! (4k)

The thought had barely crossed Lu Ming's mind when he heard the splashing sound of water again.

The heads of the vengeful ghosts that had been dismembered and sunk into the water have now floated back to the surface. Each head is deathly pale, with its eyes tightly closed and its face covered in heavy makeup.

When these lifeless heads resurfaced, their eyelids lifted simultaneously, and their eyes snapped open.

Something changed about these ghosts; the dismemberment by the ghost-slaying knife and the suppression by the eerie accumulated water both became ineffective.

It seems like something terrible is about to happen.

The demon's head and body were separated into two parts, yet they did not seem to need to rely on each other and could move independently.

When Lu Ming met the open eyes of those ghost heads, he felt a chill in his heart and a cold shiver ran down his spine.

Lu Ming's sleeves had turned red at some point, and the bright red color was spreading rapidly until his entire outfit was a vivid red.

Originally, Lu Ming and the ghost bride were dressed in different colors, one in mourning clothes and the other in wedding clothes, one in white and the other in red. But now both of them were dressed in red, which looked strangely eerie.

Not only that, Lu Ming also felt a surge in his chest, as if something had invaded his body and was about to burst out.

He slightly pulled open his mourning clothes and saw a terrifying ghost face imprinted on his pale skin. The features of this face were completely different from those of a normal living person, and it seemed to be writhing like a living thing.

Lu Ming's expression shifted slightly. He felt his body was rapidly wasting away. He was already somewhat malnourished due to the supernatural influence, and this situation was becoming increasingly obvious.

Lu Ming thought that after using a single-target restart to offset the negative effects of the Ghost Cleaver, the danger was over. But he never expected that the truly terrifying thing was yet to come.

Even if you use water to suppress them and then dismember them with a machete, you can only suppress these ghosts briefly.

"Next, I either need to find a way to get a new body or continue using the single-body restart. Otherwise, with this terrible curse, my condition will only get worse."

Lu Ming could clearly feel that the supernatural attack he was being subjected to was quite terrifying, and that his actions had just attracted the attention of all the ghosts.

"Being targeted by these guys is definitely a bad thing... Moreover, the possibility of controlling these vengeful ghosts in the conventional way is very low. One ghost is okay, but when a group of vengeful ghosts gather together, the final difficulty cannot be calculated by simple addition."

These vengeful spirits are likely to be pieces of a supernatural puzzle among themselves. If Lu Ming continues to entangle with them recklessly, he probably won't be able to escape today.

Originally, Lu Ming's plan was to dismember them with the Ghost Cleaver and then sink all the evil spirits into the eerie stagnant water, so that he might be able to control them.

But as it turns out, this method simply doesn't work.

Although these ghostly realms of accumulated water are already very powerful, they still cannot restrain an entire troupe of vengeful spirits at the same time.

"On the bright side, these ghostly opera troupes are so terrifying that if I can master them, or even complete the puzzle of the entire ghost opera troupe, my strength will be greatly enhanced..."

Thinking this, Lu Ming once again used the roll of black tape from the Ghost Well.

The seemingly unsolvable single-target reboot once again improved his physical condition.

"There's still plenty of time before the deadline for delivering the message; there's no need to rush."

Lu Ming spoke coldly, and after these vengeful ghosts locked onto him, he used the ghost scissors to cut off the medium of the supernatural attack.

"Captain, are we leaving?" Seeing that Lu Ming was out of danger, Li Yang hurriedly asked.

"Yes, we'll just use this time to gather information at the hotel. We'll come back in a couple of days."

Sun Rui asked from the side, "But I can sense that this place doesn't exist in reality, but rather exists somewhere between the supernatural and reality... It's very possible that we're already trapped here, and it might be difficult to leave."

Lu Ming shook his head: "This is not difficult, come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pool of foul-smelling water appeared in front of him. The water looked shallow, but once you stepped into it, you would find that it was unfathomably deep.

With a thud.

Lu Ming disappeared from the spot, and Li Yang and the other two who followed him also disappeared into the Caesars Hotel.

The five-layered ghost realm filled with water can break down the boundary between the supernatural and reality.

Moreover, unlike ordinary ghost realms, Lu Ming's accumulated water can connect all water sources polluted and eroded by his supernatural powers. Without being suppressed, it can act like a portal, allowing for leaps in a way that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

thump!
The next moment, Lu Ming appeared on a street in ZS city.

There were many pedestrians here, and the streets were bustling, so no one noticed that Lu Ming and his companions had appeared out of thin air.

Passersby smelled a nauseating stench and saw that Lu Ming and his companions were covered in dirty, foul-smelling sewage. They quickly walked away with disgust, assuming that these guys were workers who had just crawled out of the sewers.

"Captain, this is really not right. If the first-level messenger's delivery mission is this difficult, then no one would be able to advance to the second level of the post office."

Li Yang felt indignant on Lu Ming's behalf.

He felt as if his captain had been set up, with the difficulty of the delivery mission being maliciously increased.

It's no exaggeration to say that their team is one of the top paranormal teams in the entire paranormal community.

If word got out, they wouldn't be able to send out a single letter, and probably no one would believe it.

Ye Zhen crossed his arms and suggested from the side, "Lu Wudi, in my opinion, the two of us can solve this problem by joining forces. All I need to do is enter the hotel alone, deliver the envelope to the room, and then you can use your previous method to take me out of the hotel. Then we can succeed."

Lu Ming shook his head, not giving much thought to his plans.

Before leaving the Caesars Hotel, he already had a plan in mind.

What Ye Zhen and Li Yang didn't know was that Lu Ming's goal was far more than just delivering the envelope to room 31; he also wanted to control an entire troupe of vengeful ghosts.

If the suppression effect of the stagnant water ghost domain is not enough, then we need to find another entity that can suppress so many vengeful ghosts at the same time.

When it comes to the Ghost Domain, besides the Ghost Painting, the first thing that comes to Lu Ming's mind is the black umbrella in the suburbs of Dachang City.

Dachang City is full of hidden talents. In the suburbs, there is not only the ghost blood formed after Yan Li's death, but also the black umbrella that Lu Ming led there and then sealed off.

The power of the Black Umbrella's ghostly aura is undeniable; in the original timeline, it had already instilled a tremendous sense of oppression in Yang Jian.

Its true form is an umbrella-shaped ghost realm, just as the ghost well's true form is a well-shaped ghost realm, and the ghost coffin's true form is a coffin-shaped ghost realm.

However, the black umbrella-shaped ghost realm has six layers, and each layer is more terrifying than the one before it.

In addition, the black umbrella possesses a terrifying growth potential; the more ghost tamers and vengeful spirits trapped within it, the stronger the ghost realm becomes. Ghost tamers who enter have virtually no chance of survival; their fate is most likely to be losing their original consciousness and becoming a wandering, lonely ghost within.

"The ghost realm created by the black umbrella can definitely imprison the entire troupe of vengeful spirits... Moreover, the only drawback of the black umbrella is that the first few layers are eroded too slowly by rainwater, but this drawback can be compensated for by my torrential rain supernatural power..."

"Umbrellas and puddles are a perfect match; combining them is quite fitting."

The more Lu Ming thought about it, the more he felt that this black umbrella was practically tailor-made for him.

If Lu Ming can figure out a way to control this umbrella and fuse it with the Ghost Cleaver to make it his own supernatural weapon, then all the difficulties he faces will be easily resolved, and Lu Ming's strength will be greatly enhanced.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming turned to Ye Zhen and the others and said, "I have already made arrangements for the delivery mission. You can act freely for now. I will notify you in two or three days after I have finished dealing with it."

···········
After the group parted ways, Lu Ming immediately headed to Dachang City.

He first went to the first sealed-off restricted area, which was the blood pool formed after Yan Li's death.

Lu Ming looked up at the sky and saw that the sky here had been dyed crimson, looking like it was bleeding continuously, which was eerie and terrifying.

"The environment here has already been affected by the ghost blood, and this terrible influence is still spreading. Fortunately, the ghost blood is spreading very slowly. It is possible that by the time I end the entire supernatural era, or the world is destroyed, the area covered by the ghost blood will not exceed Dachang City."

Lu Ming skillfully cleaned the Ghost Scissors in the blood pool before leaving and heading to another sealed-off area.

In another area, a light drizzle was falling continuously, and the sky was gloomy, dark, and oppressive.

"After I controlled the supernatural downpour, the area covered by the black umbrella was left with only continuous drizzle."

Lu Ming looked at the light rain, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not go in.

In paranormal events, if one can know the ghost's killing patterns beforehand, the success rate of handling the paranormal event will be greatly increased.

Even though Lu Ming knew the pattern of the black umbrella, he still lacked confidence when faced with it.

The continuous drizzle in front of him was even more terrifying than the supernatural downpour he controlled.

After being led into the ghost realm of the black umbrella, you will encounter real-world buildings in the first, second, and third layers of the ghost realm. The vengeful ghosts wandering inside are mostly ordinary people who have been transformed.

On the fourth floor, you will see a landmark building – a collapsed wooden house.

The fifth floor is a large village.

Although the ghost realm of the black umbrella has six layers, the key to truly leaving this ghost realm lies in the fifth layer of the umbrella.

Finding the real black umbrella on the fifth floor requires not only great strength but also a certain amount of luck.

The probability of success is only 50%, so the uncertainty is quite high.

Even if he makes the right choice, Lu Ming might not be able to follow the plan and fuse the black umbrella with the ghost cleaver to create a brand new supernatural weapon.

Conversely, if you choose the wrong option, there is only one outcome.

dead.

With a slight thought, Lu Ming saw a ghost bride dressed in a bright red wedding gown appear beside him.

"The risk is too great."

"If I have to take huge risks every time I deal with paranormal events, then one day I will be doomed."

Lu Ming knew very well that if you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet. No matter how strong you are, if you pick up the wrong umbrella and get sent to the sixth level, you might be doomed. Finding the right umbrella requires trial and error, and if he didn't have the right methods, Lu Ming wouldn't dare to try on his own.

So in the end, he did not act rashly.

Lu Mingcai, Ye Zhen, and Li Yang agreed to travel freely for the next few days and then enter the Caesars Hotel together to deliver the letter.

But now, he has changed his mind.

"Taking the black umbrella, acquiring a brand new supernatural weapon, and handling the delivery mission at Caesars Hotel are not necessarily mutually exclusive."

A bold plan emerged in Lu Ming's mind. This plan sounded difficult to achieve, and most ghost riders wouldn't even dare to think about it, but in reality, the success rate was much higher than directly riding the black umbrella.

There was no wind around, but the large red veil covering the ghost bride's head swayed gently, occasionally revealing her exquisite, flawless, and fair face.

Fluffy paper dust fell from the sky, and the hazy ghost realm stretched out, causing the original space to lose its color.

This is a ghostly realm.

After being covered by the Ghostly Painting Domain, the entire sealed-off area underwent terrifying changes.

One by one, the abandoned buildings made of mud bricks mysteriously disappeared, and the surrounding area turned into a flat plain, and then even the ground sank down.

Various buildings and trees are constantly disappearing; they have been taken away by the ghost realm.

The five-layered ghost realm, originating from a supernatural invasion into reality, altered reality through a bizarre means, affecting the terrain of the sealed-off area, making it truly terrifying.

If Li Yang were to see this scene, he would probably only sigh, "I respect the captain as a god."

Moving mountains and filling seas, transforming into rainbows and chasing the sun—things that only immortals in mythology could do, Lu Ming could do with ease, which can only be called a miracle.

Some say he is the number one person in the paranormal world today, and that's no exaggeration.

At this moment, Lu Ming used Ghostly Domain to remove the entire sealed-off area affected by the black umbrella.

The reason for doing this is to achieve the initial goal while minimizing risks as much as possible.

Neither the black umbrella incident in the suburbs of Dachang City nor the terrifying troupe of ghosts in the Caesars Hotel are easy to mess with.

The success rate of driving alone is too low.

The best approach would undoubtedly be to let these two paranormal events collide and engage in a paranormal confrontation, while Lu Ming, as a third party, would reap the benefits.

Doing this not only greatly improves the efficiency of handling paranormal events, but also avoids many unnecessary risks.
