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

Chapter 82 Human World is Like Hell (Please continue reading)

Only then did Cao Yanhua suddenly realize why he had felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

Even those who could use supernatural powers to control ghosts were trapped in the illusion created by the ghostly mist, let alone Cao Yanhua, an ordinary person.

At this moment, he was perfectly conscious.

Therefore, there is only one possibility.

That is, Lu Ming deliberately shielded him from the influence of the ghost fog.

At this moment, only the two of them remained conscious in the entire conference room.

This was a private conversation.

Cao Yanhua suppressed his fear and forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Lu Ming, I think we can have a good talk. What happened before was wrong of headquarters. I can guarantee that this situation will not happen again in the future."

"A guarantee? How much is your guarantee worth?"

Lu Ming's tone was icy, devoid of any human emotion.

Cao Yanhua had previously relied on the fact that a group of top ghost tamers from J City had gathered in the conference room, and his tone towards Lu Ming was quite forceful.

Now that they realized that none of these so-called top ghost tamers were a match for Lu Ming, their attitude immediately softened.

"You can tell me what compensation you want: ghost candles, scapegoat dolls, a spot to control a ghost... Headquarters will pretend this never happened, do you understand what I mean?"

Cao Yanhua's speaking speed increased.

Because his ominous premonition was growing stronger.

Lu Ming gave him a dangerous feeling.

Cao Yanhua's intuition told him that this guy was even harder to communicate with than Yang Jian, and if he was even slightly off-track, he might actually get beaten up.

Even the headquarters in J City could fall.

Lu Ming kept a certain distance from Cao Yanhua, a half-smile on his face: "Minister Cao, do you think I went to all this trouble to find you alone just to talk about this?"

Cao Yanhua's gaze sharpened, and he said with a fierce but weak tone, "Lu Ming, don't push your luck. We are all on the same side as Ghost Masters. If there are any internal conflicts, we can sit down and discuss them properly instead of shouting for war."

This time, Lu Ming did not refute Cao Yanhua's words.

Because Minister Cao was clearly genuinely afraid, no matter what he said, he would bring up the topic of "sitting down and having a proper talk".

This is precisely a sign of a guilty conscience.

“Three red ghost candles, three white ghost candles, and two substitute dolls.”

Cao Yanhua replied quickly: "Okay, I'll make the decision. I'll give it to you after this is over."

To be honest, Cao Yanhua felt relieved after hearing Lu Ming's offer.

One reason is that Lu Ming's appetite was much smaller than he had imagined.

On the other hand, it's because his life was at least saved.

It's pointless to talk about strategic resources or cost-effectiveness when the life of one of your ministers is at stake.

"Lu Ming, I've agreed to all your conditions. Can you stop now?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "Minister Cao, have you misunderstood something? As I just said, helping you deal with a ghost tamer who had revived a vengeful spirit and nipping a terrifying supernatural event in the bud is a great achievement. Ghost candles and surrogate dolls are just the most basic compensation."

"As for the grudges between us... that's another matter."

Cao Yanhua's eyelids twitched, and he suppressed the urge to burst into a tirade.

This Lu Ming is far too shameless.

Anyone with eyes could see that the direct cause of the ghost wielder's resurrection was Lu Ming's ghost mist.

After dealing with the ghost tamer, Lu Ming took a liking to the fierce ghost he was controlling and claimed it as his own.

Now they're turning around and demanding exorbitant compensation.

Unfortunately, Cao Yanhua couldn't retaliate and could only endure it. "Lu Ming, give me a straight answer. What exactly do you want?"

As soon as Cao Yanhua finished speaking, Lu Ming, who was holding hands with the mummified bride, suddenly smiled strangely and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, the crimson ghostly mist engulfed Cao Yanhua.

The surrounding scenery seemed to be affected by something supernatural, and some kind of change occurred.

The meeting room had vanished, replaced by a scorched and empty expanse of land.

This is a city that has been invaded by supernatural forces.

Rotting, foul-smelling corpses lay piled haphazardly on the ground; the city's skyscrapers were reduced to ruins; and a lingering, gray haze hung in the air...
The concept of time loses its meaning in the illusion.

In the illusion created by the ghostly mist, Cao Yanhua witnessed the destruction of the headquarters. The three-way power struggle between Yang Jian of Dachang City, Fang Shiming of the Friends Circle, and Ye Zhen of Dahai City led to the disintegration of the Chinese supernatural community.

Paranormal events continue to occur.

Every battle between demon tamers involves countless innocent ordinary people.

The Chinese paranormal community is rife with infighting, while also having to contend with the invasion of foreign royal organizations.

Ordinary people's lives are like weeds, easily cut down.

In this defiled and evil world, hell is now empty.

The vengeful spirits have resurrected, turning the human world into a prison.

"Is this... the future of headquarters?"

The illusion created by the ghostly mist was so real that Cao Yanhua's voice trembled slightly.

He never imagined that the Ghost Tamer Headquarters, which gathered a group of top Ghost Tamers, would fall to such a state.

But thinking about it, nothing is impossible.

Everyone originally thought that the first meeting at the headquarters, where top ghost tamers gathered, would proceed smoothly, but Lu Ming barged in all by himself.

The scene before my eyes was like a giant slideshow that suddenly stopped playing, turning back into red mist and dissipating into the air.

"Minister Cao, it's not impossible for you to talk, but I don't have much to talk about with you right now. If you want to talk, you'll have to show some sincerity."

Lu Ming's voice came from beyond the sky. At the same time, a crack was torn open in the misty sky by a red light, and Lu Ming's figure appeared from it, like a god.

What sincerity?!

Before Cao Yanhua could even ask the question, countless blood-stained old newspapers rustled and danced in the wind.

Like fluttering paper butterflies, they fluttered down.

One of the newspapers was placed over Cao Yanhua's face.

When the blood-stained old newspaper fell again, Cao Yanhua's facial features were clearly imprinted on it.

Lu Ming's thinking was very clear.

His elaborate intrusion into headquarters was not motivated by revenge.

Killing Cao Yanhua wouldn't be of much use in changing the current situation.

The headquarters' senior management must be purged, and then it must be ensured that the newly appointed senior management is under Lu Ming's control.

Considering this, directly controlling Cao Yanhua is the most effective approach.

They used forceful means to intimidate other ghost tamers and then indirectly controlled the headquarters.

Lu Ming didn't expect the Ghost Tamer Headquarters to play a significant role; he only hoped that these people wouldn't cause trouble or create problems for him behind his back.

"Simply using bloodstained old newspapers to supernaturally alter memories isn't enough to guarantee safety. No one knows what unexpected things might happen. We must take some necessary safeguards to ensure we have complete control over the situation."
