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

Chapter 237 Seizing Control of the Silent Hill World: A Comprehensive View of the Situation! (4k)

The moment Lu Ming saw the policewoman, he already knew who she was.

The policewoman followed Rose into Silent Hill because she suspected that Sharon was not Rose's daughter.

In her view, Rose and Sharon were engaged in some kind of illegal transaction.

The current situation proves this point.

Rose looked flustered, and the little girl Sharon was nowhere to be seen, so the policewoman was certain that Rose was a child trafficker.

Just then, a little girl in blue flashed by, drawing everyone's attention.

The policewoman then shifted her attention from Rose, muttering, "It's that little girl from before... but why was she running so fast? Am I seeing things?"

The two challengers from the Central Chamber of Commerce exchanged a glance, and given their previous tacit understanding of each other's thoughts, they naturally knew each other's intentions.

Their team's mission was to "destroy Silent Hill and understand the real world and the outer world." So, the first step was to figure out what the real world was and what the inner world was.
This gray, misty town is definitely not the real world; it's just a matter of whether it's the surface world or the inner world.

"That little girl is strange; she can at least provide some clues. We must find the girl who just appeared."

The two challengers from the Central Chamber of Commerce quickly reached an agreement.

The mission displayed on the main character panel indicates that they need to find a little girl named Alessa, and the woman's daughter is named Sharon.

They don't sound like the same person.

However, their experience from repeatedly completing horror movie instances and struggling through various horror movies told them that if they really couldn't find a direction to explore, they could start with Sharon.

Although the five of them were a team, Lu Ming simply stood aside silently, observing everything that happened with indifference.

He already knew the general plot of Silent Hill beforehand.

It was perfectly clear to Sharon that Rose, the woman in front of her who looked flustered and was searching for her child, was not Sharon's biological mother.

Sharon was Rose's adopted child.

Because of some extremely dark memories, the original Sharon was split into two personalities: one a collection of good intentions who was adopted by Rose, and the other a little girl full of evil intentions, who is Alessa mentioned in the Main God Space.

It can be said that the entire Silent Hill was created by Alessa's will.

"Finding Alessa in Silent Hill isn't difficult; the challenge lies in completing the task assigned by the God of War: to allow the Otherworld to invade both the Real and Surface Worlds..."

Lu Ming suddenly remembered some of his previous guesses.

They used the Ghost Domain to invade this eerie space, attempting to seize control of it and switch between the surface world, the inner world, and the real world.

However, Lu Ming was also well aware that although the Ghost Domain was powerful, it was not omnipotent. Whether he could truly control this space would require him to try it himself to find out the result.

"What...what is that?"

I don’t know when it started, but some new paper ash started to get mixed in with the paper ash falling from the sky.

The shapes of the paper ash are all similar, but there are subtle differences.

The fresh ashes exuded a putrid odor, making the atmosphere even more terrifying and chilling.

"Something strange is happening in this world, and something very bad is probably about to happen."

One of the challengers from the Central Chamber of Commerce looked grim. He had just reached a conclusion, but when he turned around, he probably realized that the facts were quite different from what he had imagined.

In a gray, colorless world, Lu Ming stood out starkly in his white mourning clothes, the hem of which fluttered with the ashes of the paper offerings.

What's even more terrifying is that a bride dressed in a bright red wedding gown appeared beside him at some unknown time.

The bride didn't seem like a normal living person; she exuded a deathly, chilling aura.

These two figures, one in red and one in white, were the only two colorful beings in Silent Hill at this moment.

The challenger from the Central Chamber of Commerce's pupils constricted sharply, realizing something was wrong: "What is he trying to do? Doesn't he know that randomly causing environmental changes in a horror movie scenario can have very bad consequences?"

The other person said with a solemn expression, "Do you think that with his abilities, he would care about these rules and regulations? If he really causes some kind of anomaly in this world, then in the end, only we will suffer, and he will be fine."

Rose was so surprised by what she saw that she couldn't close her mouth.

In fact, ever since she woke up from the car accident, she noticed that many things were not right.

There are just too many strange things in this world to count, and the five strange guys she encountered were extremely dangerous.

If Rose hadn't been so desperate to find her adopted daughter Sharon, she probably would have been terrified and fled long ago.

The policewoman hadn't expected things to escalate to this point. She suppressed her panic, barely managing to remain calm, and drew her gun, pointing it at Lu Ming.

"Sir, I don't know exactly what happened, but please remain calm and don't act rashly..."

Upon hearing the policewoman's voice, Lu Ming at least glanced at her.

This policewoman reminded him of Tong Qian from the mysterious world of resurrection; both were very responsible people who, even when trembling with fear in the face of danger, would still fulfill their duties.

Moreover, in the original Silent Hill storyline, the policewoman did not do anything particularly stupid, and in the end, she bravely sacrificed herself to help Rose.

Given these points, Lu Ming did not kill the policewoman—normally, if someone dared to draw a gun and point it at him, that person would already be a cold corpse the moment their hand touched the gun handle.

The hazy, ghostly realm seemed to solidify into a line, or perhaps a rope, stretching towards the policewoman.

The moment the ghost painting touched the policewoman, her standard-issue pistol was destroyed, twisted into a lump of scrap metal, and then thrown away somewhere unknown.

Even if it were an ordinary handgun, or even a handgun made of gold, and bullets made of gold, it would pose no threat to Lu Ming in his current state.

Lu Ming did this simply because he didn't like the feeling of having a gun pointed at him.

"I've been...disarmed?"

The policewoman was stunned. She looked at her empty hands, then at Lu Ming, who was still standing in the distance and had already looked away.

She could hardly imagine who this seemingly young man in front of her was... His behavior was completely inexplicable by science, as if he were a superhero from a movie.

Because what happened was so outrageous, the policewoman was stunned for a long time and did not even take countermeasures immediately.

The scene unfolding before their eyes evoked different thoughts in each person.

The only thing they had in common was that their fear of Lu Ming had deepened; no one would be foolish enough to provoke this guy.

···········
Lu Ming didn't care what the people in front of him were thinking.

He allowed the ghost domain to spread, and then increased its supernatural intensity, making the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain as strong as the fifth-level Ghost Eye Ghost Domain.

Logically speaking, once the Ghost Realm reaches the fifth level of strength, it can break the boundary between the supernatural and reality.

The sixth level of the Ghost Realm can pause time. The seventh level of the Ghost Realm can restart time.

However, the subsequent six and seven levels do not increase the strength of the Ghost Realm itself; they simply add an additional ability to each level.

This means that the strength of the fifth layer of the ghost realm is already quite high.

If Lu Ming's previous guess was correct, then a Ghostly Realm that reaches the fifth level of strength would definitely be able to seize control of the surface world and achieve arbitrary switching between several worlds.

The expected outcome did not occur.

As the Ghostly Realm continues to spread, the surface world remains the same, only now it is far more terrifying. Ordinary people who stay here for a while will be affected by the supernatural, and even if they don't die, they will suffer from mental problems.

"Can't you do it?"

"It seems... I was too naive."

After trying again, Lu Ming shook his head, confirming that his previous idea was not feasible, and then withdrew the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain.

The fluttering hems of the red and white duo's robes gradually calmed down, and the terrifying sense of oppression that had weighed on everyone's hearts, as if a thousand pounds of pressure, had finally disappeared.

The two challengers from the Central Chamber of Commerce were panting heavily, their eyes revealing lingering fear after surviving the ordeal.

Of all those present, only they were truly impressed by the abilities Lu Ming had just demonstrated.

They themselves are all challengers who have mastered advanced abilities.

Naturally, he knows best just how difficult it is to reach Lu Ming's level.

In fact, within the entire God Space, these two are already considered highly promising challengers; otherwise, they wouldn't have been chosen by the Central Chamber of Commerce to participate in this Silent Hill instance.

Seeing their teammates' strength, they did not feel any joy.

This is because the team formation was randomly assigned by the God Space.

These two challengers were hostile to Lu Ming from the beginning and did not consider him their teammate.

If Lu Ming isn't stupid, he'll see this and naturally won't offer any help afterward.

"Damn it, if only I had known this guy was a big shot sooner... This big shot was right in front of me, but now I can't even get close to him."

On the other side, Lu Ming was about to stop when he heard a familiar voice.

It sounded as if several steel claws were rubbing against the dry wall, producing a harsh scraping sound.

The wall was scratched by the steel claws, leaving very obvious marks.

The sound, which hadn't been heard for so long, startled Lu Ming.

Because the source of the sound was not elsewhere, but in Lu Ming's mind, or rather, in his consciousness.

Freddy the vengeful spirit.

Freddy Krueger has now completed the puzzle, and his terror is no longer what it used to be.

Especially when combined with the Deceitful Ghost, it can, to a certain extent, even achieve "words becoming law," and can easily pull people into dreams to attack their consciousness.

Even when Lu Ming doesn't actively use Freddy's supernatural abilities, this strangely shaped and extremely ugly ghost will still linger in Lu Ming's mind, protecting his consciousness from invasion.

At this moment, Lu Ming naturally did not actively use Freddy's supernatural abilities.

If the scraping sound of steel claws could be heard under such circumstances, there is only one possibility—something is invading Lu Ming's consciousness.

Whether analyzed from Freddy's existence or from Lu Ming's own mental strength, ordinary mental attacks could not affect Lu Ming.

But the reason Lu Ming was so concerned about the scraping sound in his mind was because he suddenly thought of a possibility.

That is related to the physical world, the inner world, and dreams, or rather, the spiritual realm.

These people will be pulled from the real world into the inner world, or even into the surface world, which is likely due to the influence on a spiritual level.

What many people don't know is that a person's sleep state doesn't stay in one pattern; it transitions between two states.

These two states are the rapid eye movement (REM) period and the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) period, respectively.

That is, light sleep and deep sleep.

There's a saying online that dreams often occur during REM sleep.

In fact, one can dream whether in REM or non-REM sleep. However, when awakened in light sleep, the sleeper can remember their dreams very clearly, while the latter mostly cannot recall their dreams.

Perhaps, light sleep can be associated with the surface world, and deep sleep with the inner world.

If we view the transformation between different worlds as a kind of spiritual attack, then everything makes sense.

Silent Hill is composed of the consciousness of the malevolent Alessa, and many of its images are symbolic, reflecting the darkness within Alessa's heart.

The man bound by barbed wire is the sadistic caregiver who abused Alessa before her death.

The terrifying nurse with no facial features was a medical worker who had been burned while peeping at Alessa's conversation out of curiosity.

The figure wearing a triangular hood and carrying a huge machete is a executioner, representing Aresa's soul yearning for revenge.

···········
It's better to come early than to come by coincidence.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming was still pondering the laws governing the transformation between the surface world and the inner world when suddenly, a chilling alarm sounded.

The sky darkened instantly.

The speed at which the sky darkened was completely illogical, giving people almost no time to react.

A dark and deep passage appeared before them, leading underground.

And the little girl who was wearing blue clothes and looked almost exactly like Sharon reappeared.

The little girl skipped and hopped as she ran deeper into the passage, letting out a silvery laugh.

Her movements were so fast that they were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

They come and go without a trace, only appearing at crucial moments, as if they were provoking Lu Ming and the others.

"...Should we go in and take a look?"

The challenger from the Central Chamber of Commerce pointed to the passage leading underground.

However, this time he wasn't asking his companion, but rather cautiously seeking Lu Ming's opinion.
