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

Chapter 13 Footprints (Please continue reading)
After confirming that the ghostly domain of the knocking ghost had left, Yang Jian and his group officially set off.

"We can't wait any longer; if we delay any longer, things will only get worse."

Unbeknownst to them, Lu Ming had already arrived at the Caesars Grand Hotel.

ZS City.

Caesars Grand Hotel.

The hotel is decorated in a European style and looks very luxurious, with dazzling lights and a magnificent appearance. It looks spacious and bright, which seems normal.

However, those who knew beforehand would know that the Caesars Hotel had already been sealed off and closed for rectification.

This kind of normalcy without any strangeness is the greatest strangeness.

Lu Ming coldly looked at the front desk, where a female receptionist in uniform sat with a stiff smile on her lips.

However, she clearly couldn't be a normal living person.

"The real newspaper ghost is not disguised as this female receptionist."

"This is just a ghost servant, a kind of supernatural derivative. It should be harmless if you don't make contact with it."

Lu Ming ignored the woman who looked terrifying and instead headed straight for the second floor of the hotel.

The path has two curved staircases on the left and right, which are beautifully designed, and the ground is covered with a stylish red carpet.

There were several faint, charred footprints on the carpet, as if they had been burned, but there was no smell of burning.

To be precise, the footprints emitted a foul stench from the dripping of bodily fluids that corroded the carpet.

"There's a tall male corpse wandering around the hotel carrying a ghostly machete. These footprints are his, and they're the trigger for his murderous pattern. If you step on these charred footprints, you'll be instantly dismembered by that terrifying machete..."

"However, even if you don't step on these footprints, as long as the footprints you leave are stepped on by the tall male corpse, it will trigger the killing rule of the woodcutter ghost."

Thinking of this, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Like the knocking ghost, the tall male corpse was originally one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China. The woodcutter's knife in his hand could not only kill ghost tamers, but also dismember real vengeful ghosts.

Lu Ming still remembered that Yang Jian, who had the protective awareness of the music box curse, possessed the suppression quota of three ghosts, and whose ghost eyes could even briefly stack six layers of ghost domain under the music box curse, was cleaved in two with a single slash when facing this woodcutter ghost.

The difference is that Yang Jian wouldn't have died back then, but Lu Ming now would really die if he triggered the killing rules of the Woodcutter Ghost.

Therefore, Lu Ming did not dare to be careless. From the moment he entered the Caesars Hotel, he used his Ghost Domain to ensure that he did not leave any footprints in the hotel.

As Lu Ming led the mummified bride up the curved staircase with his right hand, he caught a glimpse of her feet out of the corner of his eye.

The mummified bride's feet were bare, without the embroidered shoes that matched her wedding dress, and like her hands, they were covered with dark brown, withered skin, making her look incredibly cold and terrifying.

But this is not the point.

Looking at the mummified bride's feet, Lu Ming had a rather daring idea pop into his mind.

"If I can really do it, the success rate of my operation to seize the bloodstained old newspaper at Caesars Hotel will definitely increase significantly."

"At least, I don't have to be on edge every step of the way, afraid to use the supernatural elements of the mummified bride and mourning clothes."

Lu Ming's eyes flickered. He knew very well that the supernatural was uncertain, and nothing was absolute in supernatural events.

He knew there was a significant risk in doing this; if he made a mistake, he could even die here. But Lu Ming knew he had no other choice.

If he had been timid and hesitant in everything he did, he would have died on that ghost bus long ago.

"Let's go."

Lu Ming stepped onto the second floor along the curved staircase.

He avoided the charred footprints with every step, and left no footprints on the carpet.

This is a rather cautious approach.

But whether it was due to a lack of awareness or deliberate intent, the mummified bride beside Lu Ming did not receive this protection.

Even more coincidentally, the mummified bride's feet, covered in withered brown skin, seemed to be guided each time to step onto the charred footprints on the red carpet.

The curved staircase leading to the second floor is actually not long, and an average person can walk up it quickly.

But for Lu Ming, this journey seemed incredibly long. Every time the mummified bride stepped on those charred footprints, his heart would leap into his throat.

If other ghost tamers were present and witnessed Lu Ming's actions, they would definitely think he was a madman.

Because Lu Ming actually wanted the mummified bride to trigger the killing rule of the ghost knife in the hand of the tall male corpse in the Caesar Hotel!
Only a ghost can fight a ghost.

Lu Ming intends to use the Ghost Chopping Knife to deepen, or rather temporarily stabilize, the balance between the mourning clothes and the mummified bride.

"The Ghost Cleaver is indeed terrifying, even capable of dismembering vengeful ghosts, but Li Qingzhi's current supernatural abilities are actually incomplete. The Mummified Bride is, after all, a vengeful ghost of S-level terror, so it shouldn't be completely suppressed."

"So in the end, the most likely scenario is that the mummified bride's resurrection will be suppressed, and for a short period of time, I will be able to use the bride's supernatural powers without affecting myself."

To achieve this, there is another very important prerequisite.

That is, as of now, unlike the traditional method of control, the mummified bride and Lu Ming have not yet fully merged into one.

The supernatural attack launched by the tall male corpse will only target the mummified bride and will not affect Lu Ming, who is holding hands with the bride.

Tatata!
Lu Ming led the mummified bride step by step upwards until they reached the end of the curved staircase.

The entire process was eerily quiet, revealing a strange and inexplicable atmosphere, with only Lu Ming's footsteps echoing within the hotel.

Upon reaching the second floor, you are greeted by a double European-style glass door.

Through the glass, you can see the scene behind the door: a dark corridor, at the end of which you can vaguely see a room that looks like a restaurant, from which you can hear the clinking of knives and forks.

Just then, a footstep sounded from the dark corridor.

The sound was incredibly heavy, as if each step carried the weight of the entire body.

Moreover, the footsteps came very suddenly, not slowly approaching from afar, but as if they were under some kind of supernatural influence, suddenly appearing outside.

The vengeful ghost's murderous curse was triggered. Lu Ming saw a tall, dark figure walking from afar and standing in the dark corridor behind the glass door.

The moment the ghost appeared, the surrounding environment became noticeably colder. Although this was expected, it still gave Lu Ming goosebumps.

"One of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, Li Qingzhi, a jigsaw puzzle after his death, a tall male corpse carrying a machete wandering in the Caesars Hotel."
