Chapter 53 The Ghost Groom's Appearance (Please continue reading)

Before becoming a ghost tamer, Lin Shan was a college student who accidentally drowned. He unexpectedly gained control of the ghost he is now.

However, he was rather foolish. When he first became a ghost tamer, he thought that the plot of a novel had happened to him and that he had unexpectedly gained superpowers. So he started to abuse his abilities to woo the school beauty and chase after women. As a result, he enjoyed himself for a month before the vengeful ghost revived.

Lu Ming has heard two versions of the story: one is that Lin Shan controlled a small part of the ghost lake's supernatural power, and the other is that the water ghost Lin Shan controlled was actually a corpse imprisoned in the ghost lake.

Regardless of which explanation is correct, Lu Ming felt it was necessary to try and control this water ghost.

This attempt may not be successful, but it shouldn't cause much harm if it's just an attempt.

------

Ping An Hotel.

Inside the sealed-off floor.

The lights here have all been turned off, the ceiling and walls are severely aged, and murky water droplets keep seeping out from the cracks, emitting a nauseating stench.

Yang Jian and Zhang Lei entered the sealed-off area and immediately felt an indescribable chill.

They could hear faint, intermittent murmurs coming from a room at the end of the corridor; the sounds were barely audible and quite unsettling.

"Why...why won't you save me..."

"Since I'm destined to die, then no one else should have an easy time either. Everyone must die!"

Without a doubt, this person is Lin Shan, whose mental state is on the verge of collapse.

Unlike what others thought, he hasn't yet experienced the resurgence of a vengeful ghost, but due to excessive use of the supernatural, his consciousness has been severely eroded, and he's not far from that point.

Although Lin Shan was indeed a ghost tamer who knew nothing at first, after joining the headquarters, he gradually understood some things and knew that he would die sooner or later if he continued like this.

Having realized everything, Lin Shan did not choose to pull back from the brink, but instead went all out and became even more reckless.

At first, he only used supernatural abilities to show off and date the school beauties. Later, Lin Shan skipped the dating process altogether and became a domineering man. He would take away any female beauties he liked, and kill them when he got bored and move on to the next one.

He lived in a daze during this period, but fortunately, headquarters did not make a fuss about his personal conduct and even gave him the opportunity to control the second ghost.

Lin Shan came to Da J City for this very reason; no one expected that the vengeful ghost would resurrect ahead of schedule.

"That ghost tamer named Lin Shan seems to be in a bad situation. Although he is not completely dead, he is not much different from a real vengeful ghost. From now on, we need to prepare to face a resurrected vengeful ghost."

Yang Jian's voice was low and cold as he stared at the dimly lit, waterlogged corridor in front of him.

When Qin Meirou spoke to him, he originally did not intend to get involved in the matter.

However, just now, Shen Liang sent word that if Yang Jian could make a move, headquarters would be willing to pay three white ghost candles as a price.

Only after Zhang Lei, the Ghost Eater, requested it did Yang Jian agree to take action.

Despite this, Yang Jian did not immediately take action. Instead, he looked thoughtfully at the strangely accumulated water not far away.

He was a smart man who could distinguish between what was important and what was not. He knew that his own life was always the most important thing. If this ghost was too dangerous and too difficult to deal with, Yang Jian would choose to give up even if the headquarters was willing to pay the price of three red ghost candles.

Not to mention that the headquarters' bargaining chip is only three white ghost candles, which are far less valuable than the red ghost candles.

With so many ghost tamers in J City, and some behind the scenes orchestrating the whole thing, Yang Jian doesn't need to risk his life to quell this situation.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Zhang Lei seemed much more anxious than Yang Jian. From the room at the end of the corridor, Lin Shan's murmurs could still be heard, indicating that the situation had not yet deteriorated to the worst extent.

If we don't act quickly to deal with this paranormal event, the situation might escalate to an irreversible point.

"What's the rush? This water accumulation is clearly abnormal."

Unlike Zhang Lei, Yang Jian didn't act like someone with exceptional skills and daring. This wasn't because he was inferior to Zhang Lei; on the contrary, it was precisely because of his rich experience in handling supernatural events that Yang Jian understood that one should not act rashly, especially in such situations.

Those puddles are clearly related to the supernatural, and may even be a terrifying ghost in themselves.

Zhang Lei is still too young to think he can just rush over there.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Yang Jian and Zhang Lei simultaneously felt a chill run down their spines.

A sudden wisp of mist, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, appeared in the corridor. The mist had an eerie crimson tinge, and two figures gradually emerged from it.

One in white and one in red, it was Lu Ming leading the mummified bride.

Whether it was just my imagination or not, after some time apart, Lu Ming and the mummified bride seemed to exude an even stronger sense of oppression, as if the person in front of me was not a ghost tamer, but a real vengeful ghost.

The most terrifying thing is that Lu Ming's consciousness was not corrupted by the supernatural; on the contrary, he remained quite clear-headed.

Yang Jian's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Lu Ming, what are you doing here?"

Lu Ming's lips twitched, his expression stiff, making it impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing: "I'll come and resolve this paranormal incident."

These words surprised Yang Jian even more.

Lu Ming's participation in training in DaJ City was already beyond Yang Jian's expectations. He didn't expect him to be willing to take the initiative. Could it be that this guy's personality has changed after becoming a Ghost Tamer?
"Did headquarters send you?"

"No, it's just to take something away."

Hearing Lu Ming say this, Yang Jian felt somewhat relieved.

The last time the two of them worked together to solve a paranormal incident was at the haunted place on the fourth floor of the Caesars Hotel. At that time, Lu Ming's reason for taking action was because of that blood-stained old newspaper.

Although Lu Ming didn't say it explicitly this time, Yang Jian could roughly guess that he came for the ghost that Lin Shan was controlling.

Having dispelled his doubts, Yang Jian was also somewhat astonished.

Generally speaking, it is rare to find a ghost tamer who can control two fierce ghosts. Just like the ghost-clothed Ye Feng we met at the Xiaoqiang Club, he can definitely be considered one of the best ghost tamers.

As far as Yang Jian knew, Lu Ming was controlling far more than just two vengeful spirits.

"Could it be that the vengeful ghost of the Mummified Bride has some characteristics that I don't know about, and like Zhang Lei's Ghost Eater and Starving Ghost, it needs to constantly collect vengeful ghosts to grow stronger?"

Seeing that Yang Jian did not answer but instead looked thoughtful, Lu Ming asked, "Yang Jian, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Yang Jian shook his head.

He wasn't interested in the ghost that Lin Shan was riding. If Lu Ming wanted it, he could just take it. If Lu Ming was willing to help, it would save him a lot of trouble, which would actually be a good thing.

As for whether headquarters has any objections, that's not something Yang Jian needs to consider, and he's too lazy to care.
