Chapter 173 A Powerful Move! An Attack Ended in an Instant! (5k)

"Damn it! It's that damned groom, Lu Ming! He attacked us!"

"How did they do that? There wasn't anything unusual just now? It's simply unbelievable..."

"He does have some skills, but that's all. This Chinese ghost tamer named Lu Ming is too arrogant. He wants to make a move in my area of ​​expertise, which means his outcome is doomed."

The King Organization member who had been making a fuss from the beginning used the alias John. He was very confident because he was practically the King Organization's trump card during this video conference.

John's vengeful spirit is quite special; it can kill people from a distance using a medium.

Their original plan was to have John use supernatural powers to forcefully eliminate the team leader from headquarters who was participating in the meeting, as soon as they sensed any sign of the headquarters softening its stance.

But John didn't get a chance to make a move.

Moreover, Lu Ming's words deeply offended John.

Now that Lu Ming has taken the initiative, even Jack has no reason to stop him.

"Just to my liking."

John's face turned cold as he looked at Sadako, who was crawling out of the ghost well not far away.

The ghost's long hair, hanging down its forehead, was wet and stained with water, covering most of its face, leaving only one extremely venomous eye visible, staring intently at the King's group.

This is not Sadako's true form, or rather, Sadako does not have a true form; the so-called white-clad female ghost is merely a manifestation of the curse on the videotape.

Water dripped continuously from Sadako's long hair and continued to spread around her.

Strangely, although it is only a thin layer covering the ground, it is completely opaque, as if stepping on it carelessly would lead one into an unknown, supernatural place.

The other five retreated with fear on their faces, but John was fearless and took the initiative to launch the supernatural attack.

He pulled an old-fashioned telephone from his jacket pocket.

No, that's not right.

This wasn't a telephone; it was a walkie-talkie that had long been obsolete.

The walkie-talkie was covered in damp mud and smelled strongly of fish, as if it had just been dug out of a construction site on a rainy day.

John pulled out the walkie-talkie and gave a stiff smile.

Using Sadako as a medium, he was able to launch a supernatural attack on Lu Ming, who was far away in China, and all he had to do was press a broken button on the walkie-talkie, with almost no delay.

This ability made him very important in the King's organization. Although he did not become king or a candidate for king, John was quite confident in himself.

No matter how many tricks Lu Ming has up his sleeve, as long as you attack his main body before he makes a move and destroy him, then he won't be able to do anything to you.

Thinking this, before Sadako could make her next move, John pressed the button on the walkie-talkie.

"Ok?"

However, the expected connection was not made.

Instead, a strange ringing sound came from the walkie-talkie.

The ringing stopped on its own after about three seconds.

The next ringtone then plays...

The ringing was repeated five times.

John had never experienced anything like this before when he used the paranormal walkie-talkie.

He vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Sadako, who had crawled out of the demon well, had disappeared from the spot at some point.

A chill ran down John's spine.

"John, don't look back!"

The five people not far away had obviously seen something, and someone spoke up to warn them.

John ignored him and cursed, "Damn it! You think you won't die if you don't turn around?"

"Fight him!"

John then turned around sharply, trying to see what was behind him, but he couldn't even do that.

Five long, black, sharp demonic fingernails pierced John's face, penetrating his skull and leaving five dark, bloody holes.

A simple supernatural attack, combined with the fatal curse of five ghostly calls, would be impossible for even a truly powerful ghost tamer to survive by simply enduring it.

Not to mention John, that self-righteous piece of trash.

Sadako, who combines the Ghost Well puzzle and the Rainstorm puzzle, deals with John as easily as using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.

······
After John's lifeless body fell to the ground, the other five members of the King's organization lost all will to fight.

Among them, two were king-level ghost tamers.

The King Organization's publicly available intelligence indicates that there are only fifteen kings within the organization, but in reality, there are at least twenty-five demon tamers qualified to become kings. However, the extra ten do not hold specific positions for various reasons.

Lu Ming, the ghost groom, has always been well-known in the supernatural community, but only after truly confronting him can one realize just how terrifying he truly is.

Even a powerful king like the pianist was no match for him, let alone an ordinary king.

"Get out of here quickly, or he'll kill us all sooner or later..."

"This guy doesn't take the King's Organization seriously at all. In other words, he's not afraid of their retaliation! His provocation is designed to hasten the war. What a devil!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and use Ghost Domain to get us away..."

After easily killing John, Sadako stiffly turned her head and looked at the other five people with resentment.

The supernatural attack just now was far from over; it was only the beginning.

Of the five, the candidate king who possessed the Ghost Domain did not hesitate and immediately unleashed it, enveloping the surrounding space.

In the paranormal world, there are not many ghost tamers who possess a ghost domain, but having a ghost domain is equivalent to having an extra, terrifying life-saving ability, enabling one to survive ordinary paranormal events or being hunted by ghost tamers.

As they felt the surroundings turn completely dark, the group breathed a brief sigh of relief.

Only Jack remained uneasy, saying, "Ghost Groom Lu Ming, such a top-tier ghost tamer must also possess a ghost domain, and his strength might even surpass ours..."

The King's Organization member who cast the Ghost Domain shook his head: "There's no need to worry about that. Even if he himself is incredibly strong, this transnational attack was just a supernatural curse. Lu Ming wasn't even present. I'm already surprised he could kill someone through the internet; it's impossible..."

As he spoke, he activated his Ghost Domain, attempting to escape this isolated, desolate island.

But he hadn't finished speaking.

With a loud bang, like a major car accident, the Ghost Realm crashed into something hard, producing a deafening sound.

"what happened?!"

Jack looked at the candidate king who had used the Ghost Domain.

The latter's expression was equally surprised.

Using the Ghost Realm for movement is completely different from normal movement. The space where the three of them are currently located is similar to a supernatural place. Even if they encounter obstacles, they can pass through them smoothly without being affected in any way.

After using his supernatural senses to assess the situation around the ghost realm, the candidate king's expression changed drastically: "It's a new ghost realm... We're trapped in a fixed area by a new ghost realm..."

"Why can't we try to fight against it?"

"It's completely impossible. My ghost realm isn't even qualified to fight against it. It's like hitting a solid wall after making contact; I'm completely shut out."

"..."

Just as these members of the King's Organization were discussing, the sound of rain pattering suddenly came from the side.

The raindrops fell heavily, and became more intense as time went on.

A torrential rainstorm suddenly began without warning.

This was clearly no ordinary downpour; every raindrop was imbued with a terrifying eeriness, emitting a foul, fishy stench, seemingly originating from the same source as the well water that hadn't been wrung out from Sadako's hair.

The ghost realm couldn't stop the raindrops from falling.

The darkness surrounding the five people began to gradually dissolve after coming into contact with the rain.

The strangest thing is that the rainwater that fell on the ground did not flow around the deserted island and into the sea.

Instead, the water kept piling up and quickly rose above their knees.

If someone looks down from directly above the deserted island, they will find that the shape of the Ghost Realm is a well.

After the rainwater fell, it accumulated in the well, and a dry well quickly became a well filled with water.

No one can escape from the well.

All that awaited them was a drowning in despair.

"Just what kind of ghost did Lu Ming control? He didn't even show himself, but just used a medium to easily kill us all..."

"The King's Organization is too naive. The pianist's initial intelligence was seriously flawed; China's supernatural powers are not as weak as we thought..."

Jack had experienced many paranormal events and was quite experienced. In this situation, futile struggles were pointless, and he resignedly accepted the fact that he would soon drown in the well. In his final moments, Jack turned on his satellite phone and sent a text message to a contact.

"Don't start a war!"

He originally wanted to continue editing the next text message, at least to convey some useful information.

But these four words became Jack's last words.

The well water had unknowingly risen above his neck, and the stench emanating from it was so unbearable that it was almost suffocating.

Wow! ! !
A wave crashed over the phone, knocking it from Jack's hand and into the water.

"I'm dying."

The thought flashed through Jack's mind, and then his consciousness went into darkness.

······
Soon, five more drowned corpses appeared in the well water.

Generally speaking, the probability of a demon tamer drowning is very low, but these five members of the King's Organization drowned in a small well.

Their bodies turned deathly pale, devoid of any blood, and appeared extremely swollen.

Each person's death was bizarre; they neither surfaced nor sank to the bottom of the well, but floated motionless in the eerie well water.

From an observer's perspective, the entire attack lasted no more than three minutes.

It's not accurate to call it a battle against the supernatural.

This was a massacre with no suspense whatsoever.

From the moment the cursed videotape was played on the projector until Sadako crawled out of the ghost well, the entire process was reflected in eerie water inside a tin-roofed house in Dachang City.

Inside this makeshift tin shack, professional video recording equipment transmits footage to the headquarters in Greater J City.

In other words, Lu Ming, Yang Jian, Cao Yanhua, and a group of high-ranking officials at headquarters all witnessed this crushing defeat of the King's Organization.

The panic and anxiety that had existed internally before have disappeared.

The higher-ups stopped their back-and-forth discussion, and some even stood up and applauded.

"it is good!!!"

"Good kill!"

“I was a little hesitant before, thinking that if things got out of hand, it would be hard to handle. But now I understand that some people are just bullies who prey on the weak. If you don’t dare to fight back, they’ll just take advantage of you.”

"Indeed, if it weren't for the previous cleanup at headquarters and Lu Ming taking down the pianist, we would probably still be in the dark and never know that the supernatural community in China had been infiltrated by the King Organization."

Rough words are not rough.

Lu Ming's thoughts were actually similar.

The conflict between the King's Organization and its headquarters is irreconcilable.

Moreover, since it was the other side's king who started the trouble, there's no need to show mercy to these people.

If you actively cause trouble, you must be prepared to take responsibility.

If this meeting ends in such a muddled manner without any explanation, it will only leave the King's Organization with the impression that it is easy to bully.

It just so happens that Sadako recently combined the Ghost Well and the Rainstorm Puzzle, so it's a good opportunity to test her skills on these members of the King's Organization and try out some new supernatural phenomena.

Dachang City.

Beside Lu Ming, Yang Jian looked at Lu Ming in surprise.

He never expected that Lu Ming could kill six Ghost Tamers from the King's Organization with just a cursed video.

Yang Jian had witnessed Sadako's supernatural abilities before.

He was even present when Sadako merged with Lin Shan's water ghost at the Ping An Hotel.

However, Yang Jian could clearly sense that the Sadako of that time and the Sadako of now were two completely different vengeful spirits.

Every so often, Lu Ming undergoes a significant transformation, acquiring new supernatural abilities.

"Was this well... controlled during the Japanese ghost temple incident? And this torrential rain... it's clearly the same as the black umbrella incident from last time."

"It is extremely difficult for top-tier ghost tamers to become stronger. Having too many supernatural entities within their bodies means that each time they control a new supernatural entity, it will be an adventure."

"Unless he can find the perfect ghost puzzle piece every time... but that's impossible."

Yang Jian found himself increasingly unable to understand Lu Ming.

But he didn't think much about it.

Having spent so much time together, he was certain that Lu Ming's stance was basically the same as his.

Therefore, even if Lu Ming becomes powerful, Yang Jian doesn't need to worry too much.

The only concern is what would happen if Lu Ming died in a paranormal event, or if the vengeful spirit within him lost its balance and revived, leading to paranormal incidents...?

What level of paranormal events would occur if that time came?

An S-class paranormal event?
I'm afraid it's far more than that.

"Alright, I've dealt with the King's Organization members. As long as the remaining ones aren't stupid, they shouldn't be jumping around in front of us anytime soon."

Lu Ming drew his conclusion with great certainty.

Because he knew about the King's current plans.

Project Ark is not ready yet, and the situation in China is more complicated than imagined. Even the king would not dare to take such a big risk.

As it turned out, Lu Ming's guess was correct.

Jack's message quickly reached the King's Organization.

The loss of six members of the King's Organization, as well as the key king, the pianist, enraged the entire leadership of the King's Organization.

They immediately convened a roundtable meeting.

Many people grit their teeth in hatred when they mention Lu Ming, the ghost groom they've never met.

But just as Lu Ming had expected, none of them actually dared to take action. They could only rage helplessly in the meeting, hurling a few curses and making some harsh remarks.

···········
The day after dealing with all the mess the King's organization was in.

Lu Ming put the delayed plans back on the agenda.

He planned to go to Taiping Ancient Town to investigate the whereabouts of the Ghost Stage and, incidentally, seal it off in advance, as a favor to headquarters.

"The Ghost Lake incident hasn't spread yet. Our main purpose in going to Zhongzhou City is to visit Taiping Ancient Town, so we want to avoid getting involved in the Ghost Lake incident..."

Although Lu Ming's supernatural abilities are most likely related to Ghost Lake, he does not intend to make contact with it now.

The female ghost at the source of the lake is terrifyingly fierce; it could be said that the ghost has become a part of the lake.

In the original timeline, Yang Jian first used the Six-Layer Ghost Domain to stop time, then used a woodcutter's knife to dismember the body, and finally used coffin nails to suppress it.

With such a smooth combo, even a highly terrifying demon would be suppressed.

However, it had no effect on the female ghost in the Ghost Lake.

They cannot be restricted, they cannot be imprisoned.

Moreover, lake water can suppress the supernatural power of evil spirits; the deeper the lake, the stronger the suppression of evil spirits.

In addition, Ghost Lake can replicate the supernatural power of sunken vengeful spirits, possessing extremely high potential for growth...

"It's too difficult to completely control Ghost Lake. There's basically no good way. If, like Yang Jian, you only steal a part of Ghost Lake's supernatural power, it will cause Ghost Lake to invade reality faster."

"In short, this paranormal event is quite troublesome, so it's best not to get involved in unnecessary trouble."

Lu Ming concluded with the following statement.

Early in the morning, he left Dachang City and headed to DaJ City.

Before heading to Taiping Ancient Town, he also had to stop by headquarters to handle two minor matters, which wouldn't take much time anyway.

Firstly, Cao Yanhua informed him that the corpse oil previously handed over to headquarters had been made into oil lamps, and Lu Ming could go and collect it.

Secondly, Lu Ming thought of a supernatural item stored in the basement of the headquarters: a tattered shroud.

Lu Ming didn't know much about the specific information related to the Ghost Stage, and he would have to go to Taiping Ancient Town to find out more.

However, the shroud collected by headquarters will definitely come in handy.

Lu Ming guessed that this thing was most likely a curtain hanging on the ghost opera stage.

If the Ghost Stage is one piece of the puzzle of the Ghost Opera Troupe, then the Shroud of Turin is one piece of the puzzle of the Ghost Stage.

Thinking about this, one can imagine just how terrifying a complete ghost opera troupe could be.

"If a theatrical troupe is performing at the wedding, I don't know how they'll manage to keep the atmosphere quiet at the funeral."
