Chapter 76
These words were disrespectful, but the group of five did not feel offended; instead, their expressions became serious.
After all, one cannot be careless when dealing with demons and evil spirits.
If what Bailu said is true, then pointless sacrifices are really unnecessary.
After all, even though they have cultivation, they can still die.
Make a phone call and call for backup!
Bai Lu watched from the side, then said to Bai Chen, "Chenchen, take Xiao Rui home first, or find a hotel to stay in. I want to stay and check on the haunted house."
A hint of worry flashed in Bai Chen's eyes as he said disapprovingly, "They're fine here. You should come back with us. You're not fully recovered yet, what if..."
He stopped before he could finish speaking.
Bai Lu gently patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
She must have had a reason for staying; after all, her life mattered, and she couldn't afford to be reckless.
"Alright, be careful!"
Seeing that Bai Lu was determined, Bai Chen didn't say anything more, but just told her to be careful and to run away if anything went wrong.
Saving lives should be a secondary concern!
Lin Rui gently shook Bai Lu's hand, and Bai Lu just smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'm very capable."
Lin Rui also laughed, but as she left with Bai Chen, she kept turning back to ask him, "Is eldest sister injured?"
"Okay." Bai Chen pursed his lips and nodded. "Let's go back first, and I'll tell you slowly."
The two went to a hotel.
This time, Bai Chen didn't hide anything from Lin Rui anymore—he didn't hide anything about himself from Lin Rui, but he only told her what he could about Bai Lu.
But Lin Rui was still deeply saddened after hearing this.
I never expected my boyfriend to have such an amazing encounter!
Cultivation!
Is this a modern term?
"Me, me, me, look at me, do I have spiritual roots?" Lin Rui asked expectantly.
Bai Chen was a little embarrassed. He could see the spiritual root within his body, but showing it to others—he hadn't learned how yet!
But how can a man say no!
So he started to pretend to examine Lin Rui. At first, Lin Rui was full of expectations, but after Bai Chen touched her hand for half an hour, and her hand was about to be rubbed raw, she realized his true level - half-baked!
She should wait for her older sister to come back!
After a long day of turmoil, Lin Rui was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep in her room. However, she couldn't sleep peacefully because the wedding dress kept appearing in her dreams, making it hard for her to breathe. She struggled to wake up and, in anger, slapped Bai Chen.
"Don't press on me, I want to sleep."
He pushed the person away and pulled the blanket over his head.
Bai Chen chuckled. He was the one who woke her up because he was having a nightmare, but now it's his fault?!
……
Getting people to join takes time, and during this waiting period, Manager Liu's phone kept ringing. He would make a call, then answer another, and then make another call, glancing at Bai Lu and the others from time to time.
Bai Lu and the others knew he was looking at them frequently, but they didn't have time to pay attention to him at all, since they had a lot of things to do!
They had to go through all the surveillance footage in the haunted house to see if they could find the person behind it all, but unfortunately, they couldn't.
Manager Liu finally hung up the phone and walked up to Huang Dan, rubbing his hands together like a fly: "Team Leader Huang, our boss would like to ask you for a favor—it's like this, although our amusement park has been open for quite a while, this haunted house is a newly added attraction, and it's only recently gained some fame. If we close it now and kick out the tourists... it will have a bad influence... Can we wait until the haunted house closes today before dealing with this?"
"Will you take responsibility if something goes wrong? And can you even afford to take responsibility?"
Huang Dan showed no favoritism whatsoever, her face stern and utterly unapproachable: "This matter has been taken over by us. You immediately count the number of tourists who entered through Gate One! Someone has already died, so don't give me any nonsense! Every second of delay increases the danger for the tourists inside!"
"Someone died?!"
Manager Liu covered his mouth and stared wide-eyed: "How could this be? The surveillance footage didn't show anything unusual!"
"I'll say it again, stop giving me this nonsense and go count the number of people. The amusement park is closing early today! Opening hours are undetermined!"
The haunted house was so dark it was like a ghost's den. Even with a night-light mode on the security cameras, they couldn't capture everything. Besides, there were many things inside that the cameras simply couldn't capture.
Manager Liu was extremely worried. What reason could he possibly give for closing the museum? What if people found out there were real ghosts in the haunted house?
its not right! ! !
This is a good thing!
A haunted house with real ghosts—what a great advertising gimmick!
Once the special department resolves the issue, they can hire a dozen or so marketing accounts to promote it, and the haunted house will surely become a hit!
Yes, that’s it!
They said the haunted house was haunted and the park would have to close early.
No one should really believe this; at most, people will guess that it's a propaganda tactic, and that they can guide public opinion once the situation is clarified!
Manager Liu felt he was a genius and immediately made arrangements to evacuate the tourists, refunding tickets and money as needed!
However, before it could be fully implemented, Gate Number One suddenly opened, and a girl in a white dress slowly walked out.
"What a character! Wearing a white dress to a haunted house, is she trying to hurt me?"
A male staff member dressed as Sadako (the female version of Sadako) brushed aside his long hair and said in a low voice.
Beside him were a series of colleagues—a zombie with dark circles under his eyes, a zombie with battle-damaged makeup, a serial killer wielding two large foam machetes, and a male dwarf with infant spirit makeup.
Suddenly he exclaimed, "Huh—!" "That girl's face looks off. Could she be terrified?"
Bai Lu subconsciously looked over and saw that the woman's eyes were lifeless, with no whites in her dark pupils. Her face immediately darkened, and she said to Huang Dan, "It's too late, a ghost has possessed a human!"
Huang Dan followed Bai Lu's gaze and, having already opened her third eye, immediately saw the male ghost possessing the woman in white.
Possession by a ghost doesn't have obvious signs like in the movies—like your heels leaving the ground.
No, that's not true!
The woman in white was like a normal person, walking steadily and not much different from ordinary people, except that she moved a little slower. She was not afraid of the sun at all, and stared at the sun for a long time without blinking. She even reached out her hand as if she wanted to touch it!
"You audacious monster!" Huang Dan shouted, "Get out!"
As he spoke, he ran towards the woman in white.
Sadako was startled. How could she tell someone to get lost!
This is so disrespectful to customers!
Although their job is to intimidate tourists, they clearly distinguish between intimidation and respect. If they find a tourist is too frightened, they will immediately call the dozen or so colleagues on standby in the logistics department to take the person away, calm them down, and provide some psychological treatment.
"What are you doing, a male ghost possessing a girl's body? Hey! Take your groping hands off her chest! Is that something you can touch? Get out of here right now! Or I won't be so polite!"
Huang Dan raised her almond-shaped eyes and joined two fingers together, poised to strike.
Sadako: "!!!"
What did he just hear? She said—a male ghost?
Perhaps because of his profession, Sadako is extremely brave and a staunch atheist. He believes there are no ghosts, only people in disguise. He does this kind of work, so how could he not understand?
He watched helplessly as Huang Dan raised her right hand, lifted her hair, and then heard her give a soft shout before striking the white-clad woman's chest. The woman in white then collapsed limply to the ground.
A ghost invisible to the naked eye was knocked out from the body of the woman in white and suddenly exposed to the sunlight. The male ghost tried desperately to cover himself, but to no avail. He disappeared into the sunlight in just a few breaths.
Huang Dan breathed a sigh of relief. Ghosts that die in the light are not highly cultivated, but then he suddenly felt something was wrong. These low-level ghosts do not have the ability to possess others!
how come? !
Huang Dan glanced at Bai Lu and asked her for advice. Bai Lu looked in the direction of Gate No. 1, raised her chin, and said quietly, "It must be the one inside who is behind this."
It's possible that she hurt that eerie wedding dress, and its owner wanted to teach her a lesson, so they did this.
“That person… has such great power? That would be a huge problem.” Huang Dan frowned.
She opened an app on her phone and saw seven or eight small red dots rushing towards the green dot representing her. She couldn't help but send a voice message urging, "Hurry up, this is a serious matter!"
After sending the voice message, she was about to help the woman in white up when door number one suddenly opened again, and a man with the same pale face, expressionless face, and dark eyes walked out!
"besides?!"
Without saying a word, Huang Dan resorted to his old tricks again!
Ghosts that possess you are never good ghosts!
She felt no psychological pressure at all about being melted by the sun.
But what she didn't expect was that there were so many ghosts in this haunted house. In just a short while, a dozen or so people came out in a swarm!
If Lin Rui were still here, she would recognize one of the older women as Sister Mei from their company! At this moment, she was walking like a puppet on a string.
"Sister Dan, don't kill them. It's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Besides, these possessing ghosts are likely newly deceased souls. If you force them out of your body like this, they won't even have a chance to be reincarnated."
Bai Lu stopped Huang Dan, who frowned but did not object.
Bai Lu then said to Manager Liu, "I remember there's a sunroom at the amusement park. Please take them all to the sunroom."
This not only restricts these people from running around, but also traps the ghosts inside the human body. After all, they would die if they came out, so even if they are ghosts, they would not seek death again.
As for the living, as long as the possession by a ghost doesn't last too long, not much yin energy will remain in their bodies. Sunbathing will expel all the yin energy, and at most, they'll have a few days of bad luck.
Manager Liu, who had been huddled to the side for a long time, was almost scared to death. He had heard everything Huang Dan and Bai Lu said. Good heavens, their haunted house had truly become a haunted house! It was inhabited by a whole bunch of ghosts!
The staff in the haunted house were in a similar situation. They didn't dare wear their work clothes anymore, stripped them off completely, and threw them far away, for fear that Huang Dan might accidentally kill them all!
They all hugged themselves, each dressed in a tight-fitting outfit.
Sure enough, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Well, this is really something else!
They really wanted to go home, but—Manager Liu wouldn't let them leave work!
They've really had it tough for such a bunch of losers!
Manager Liu, can you say you were so scared you forgot?
Where is the sunroom?
Seeing that Manager Liu hadn't made a move for a long time, a young man pulled over the people who were tied up in a string and asked them a question.
"Follow...follow me."
Manager Liu, trembling, bypassed the group and ran ahead. The young man, leading such a large group, couldn't walk fast at all. Just as Manager Liu was about to disappear around the corner, he could only shout loudly to stop him.
……
Seven reinforcements arrived, all burly men, one of whom, Yan Sen, had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
After sharing information, three people were left outside to deal with the "possession" incident, while the others started walking towards Gate 1 in pairs.
Yan Sen and a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining formed a team, leading the charge, while Bai Lu and Huang Dan formed a team, bringing up the rear.
She stood in front of Gate Number One. She could feel that the air here was filled with a strange power, different from the yin energy of the dozen or so possessing ghosts.
Honestly, she didn't want to go in. With her current cultivation level, her life wasn't safe!
But ever since she arrived at this haunted house, she's had a feeling that draws her inside.
Those who cultivate immortality have a very accurate sixth sense, which often leads them to find opportunities in secret realms. Bai Lu decided to follow her heart.
She took a deep breath and then slowly walked into the haunted house with Huang Dan.
The haunted house was pitch black, with only occasional flashes of light illuminating the path ahead.
Bai Lu held a small dagger in her hand behind her back. It was her only mid-level magic weapon in the cultivation world, and she treasured it dearly.
They walked cautiously through the passageway, and soon they smelled a strong stench of blood and saw bones scattered all over the ground, clearly belonging to tourists who had just been murdered, but whose identities they did not know.
They made their way through the room without incident, finally arriving at a quaint master bedroom.
There was no bed in the master bedroom; instead, a red and black coffin had taken its place. The wedding dress was placed next to the coffin, still dripping blood. Perhaps because it saw everyone coming in, it even twisted its body, like a person, as if it were angry.
Bai Lu frowned; she could feel that the yin energy in this room was stronger than anywhere else.
Looking at the coffin, she inexplicably stepped forward. The moment her fingers touched the coffin, a strong aura of yin energy surged out of it, enveloping her entirely.
Bai Lu's face turned pale instantly. She cursed herself for being careless. She could feel her body being eroded by this yin energy.
She immediately mobilized her spiritual power to resist the yin energy, while simultaneously forming hand seals to stimulate the yang energy within her body.
Her consciousness gradually cleared, and her body began to regain its freedom.
"Heh, you dare to hurt my things with such little cultivation? You've got some nerve."
