Chapter 8: The Ashes of Paper (Please continue reading)
Afterwards, the bus passed through several stops and stopped a few times, with ghosts constantly boarding the bus. However, the area outside the bus remained a haunted place, so Lu Ming and Yang Jian simply waited quietly on the bus.

Yang Jian glanced at Lu Ming and broke the silence: "This bus can suppress the supernatural power of vengeful ghosts, right?"

Lu Ming didn't hide anything and nodded, after all, it was an obvious fact.

“The ghost tamers we just saw were all in this situation. If they stay on the ghost bus for too long, the ghosts will be suppressed for a long time and fall into a state similar to a deep sleep. In this state, we can control a fully revived ghost, but if we go beyond the limit, the ghost may still revive.”

"After getting on the bus, how long do we have to wait before we get a chance to get off? Or are there any conditions we need to meet?"

Lu Ming knew that this was Yang Jian's first time on the ghost bus and that he didn't fully understand the rules. He didn't mind using this important information to get closer to Yang Jian.

So Lu Ming said, "There isn't a specific time, but I know that as long as we avoid the dangers on the bus, we'll eventually have a chance to get off. We can just get off at a normal stop."

"Does that mean that as long as we wait for the vengeful ghost to revive, and then sit on this bus for a while, we can live forever?"

Lu Ming smiled wryly upon hearing this: "Theoretically, that's correct, but as you just saw, the supernatural is unpredictable. That means everything we face is unknown. I'm not confident I could survive a second time after what happened."

In fact, Yang Jian had a vague idea about what Lu Ming said, and hearing it from Lu Ming's mouth was just confirmation of his thoughts.

At the same time, Yang Jian took a deep look at Lu Ming, whose face was pale and cold.

The fact that Lu Ming could casually tell me this crucial information without a second thought only shows that it was utterly irrelevant to him.

To be able to access these secrets as an ordinary person...
This alone is enough to illustrate the point.

"Given Lu Ming's composure when he encountered the ghost, the current situation is likely under his control. Even boarding this bus was a deliberate act by him. All of this is in order to become a ghost tamer."

Yang Jian pondered silently in his heart and finally made a summary.

"This Lu Ming is dangerous, but he can also provide me with great help. Whether he is a friend or foe, I need to observe him first."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh that there are still too many different kinds of people in this world. There are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. Even after he crashed Ghost Shadow and became one of the top Ghost Tamers, he still couldn't be too careless.

After a brief conversation, an eerie silence fell over the dimly lit carriage.

After what seemed like an eternity, a faint ray of light finally pierced through the grime-covered car window.

"Finally home."

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

After sitting on the bus for so long, the mourning clothes he was wearing, as well as the ghost bride he was holding in his right hand, had entered a relatively stable state.

Now, the ghost bus has just left the haunted place and arrived at a normal stop.

I don't know what city this is, but it looks quite prosperous, and judging from the architectural style, it should still be in Asia.

As the bus came to a stop at the station, an old, familiar sound rang out, and the front and rear doors opened simultaneously.

Now that Lu Ming and Yang Jian no longer had any concerns about the resurgence of the vengeful ghost, they naturally wouldn't stay on the bus any longer.

The two of them got up at the same time and walked towards the back door.

After confirming that this vehicle was indeed the ghost bus, Lu Ming knew that whatever he wanted to do, he had to follow the rules here.

You must get on the bus from the front door and get off from the bus from the rear door.

If you don't follow the rules of the bus, something terrible could definitely happen. It was still early, barely dawn, so there were no people waiting at the bus stop.

Yang Jian glanced at the bride wearing a red veil and said with lingering fear, "Are you going to bring this terrifying ghost into the real world?"

Lu Ming forced a stiff smile and said, "Nothing is impossible. Besides, don't you have two terrifying ghosts inside you too?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian fell silent.

This is indeed the truth.

But the ghostly presence of this mummified bride was far too terrifying, even more so than the knocking ghost he encountered at No. 7 Middle School.

Allowing such a ghost to exist in the real world would have unimaginable consequences should the vengeful spirit within Lu Ming revive. It could very well lead to a supernatural event of S-level severity with a wide-ranging impact.

"Good luck."

Yang Jian ultimately said nothing more, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

The two have already exchanged contact information. The paranormal community in China is only so big, so they will probably meet again in the future.

After seeing Yang Jian off, Lu Ming stood still.

His current condition is not bad; even if the supernatural power of the mummified bride is used, it will not cause the vengeful ghost to revive.

So Lu Ming had a thought and let the ghost domain cover the mummified bride holding his hand.

The next moment, the surrounding space turned gray, and from somewhere, ashes of burnt paper money kept falling.

This feeling was very special. Although the area covered by the ghost domain was not large, Lu Ming felt that he could control everything within this area.

Lu Ming carefully sensed it and thought to himself, "It seems somewhat similar to the Ghost Painting Ghost Realm, but the intensity is much lower, and I dare not add layers arbitrarily..."

Then, Lu Ming put away the Ghost Domain, and the figure of the mummified bride "disappeared" from his side.

However, only Lu Ming knew that the mummified bride had not really disappeared, but had been hidden by him in a deeper level of the ghost realm.

Inside a car on the road.

The little girl with braids opened the car window, pointed to the bus stop not far away, and excitedly told the woman driving, "Mommy, there's a handsome boy over there, holding hands with a girl, they're going to get married... That girl's dress is so beautiful!"

"Ok?"

The woman frowned, a strange chill creeping into her heart for no apparent reason.

Early in the morning, there's only one bus stop here. What newlywed couple would come here?

Thinking this, the woman glanced toward the bus stop sign.

There was no bride in a wedding dress, only a young man with his right hand outstretched as if to hold her hand, but there was nothing around him.

Above his head, ashes from paper were falling in abundance.
