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

Chapter 180 New Intrusion Methods (4.2k)

"what's the situation?"

"My body became increasingly damp, as if I had just been pulled out of the water, and it felt like there was a woman whispering in my ear."

Lu Ming was startled. With even the slightest movement, he felt as if water was seeping through his body, making him feel wet and uncomfortable.

He was almost certain that the woman's whispers in his ear were not an illusion, but real.

This is a terrible curse that suddenly afflicted Lu Ming.

After quickly calming down, Lu Ming made a decision.

"This is the curse of Ghost Lake."

Taiping Ancient Town indeed harbors a terrifying secret.

I had just arrived in Zhongzhou City when I received an invitation to a banquet in seven days.

Now they're entangled in the curse of the Ghost Lake again.

"It's probably a curse I encountered at that tailor shop during the day."

He remembered that during the day, in the Ghost Street of Taiping Ancient Town, after killing the middle-aged woman in the tailor shop, he found two children's burial clothes inside the tailor shop.

The two burial garments were just as damp as Lu Ming's current body, as if they had just been washed in Ghost Lake but hadn't been wrung out.

I hadn't paid much attention to it before.

Looking back now, I realize that I was already entangled in the curse of the Ghost Lake back then.

Lu Ming's expression turned cold, and he pulled out the Ghost Scissors.

The reason he didn't cut the curse of the Ghostly Feast before was because he could only cut the curse for himself at the time, and he suspected that there was a piece of the White Fiend puzzle there, so he wanted to go and take a look.

But unexpectedly, he found himself afflicted with another terrible curse without even realizing it.

This time, Lu Ming had no reason to leave behind a curse.

The Ghost Lake is far too terrifying. Even if Lu Ming doesn't die in it, dealing with it will be extremely difficult.

In the original timeline, Yang Jian's handling of Ghost Lake involved a large element of luck.

Moreover, it was never completely contained until the very end. Taiping Ancient Town was flooded, and the surrounding terrain was altered, which could only barely prevent this paranormal event from causing more terrible harm.

Therefore, Lu Ming's idea was to avoid dealing with it if possible.

Even if we were to actually enter Ghost Lake, Lu Ming would definitely not allow Liu San to enter.

The Ghost Lake not only has a suppressive effect, but it can also steal the supernatural power of the evil spirits that sink into it.

If Liu San's supernatural abilities were stolen, and thousands of female corpses emerged densely from the lake, the mere thought of that scene would send chills down one's spine.

Liu San's role this time is at most to scout ahead in the Ghost Stage, helping Lu Ming eliminate some unknown dangers.

These things seemed complicated, but they were just fleeting thoughts in Lu Ming's mind.

He quickly took out the red ghost scissors.

This is Fang Shiming's "ghost scissors" from WeChat Moments.

The term "stolen supernatural items" sounds unpleasant, but to be honest, the ghost scissors originally belonged to the ghost bride. Killing Fang Shiming and taking them back could only be considered returning them to their rightful owner.

Moreover, Lu Ming made the most of the Ghost Scissors; he knew how to use them better than Fang Shiming.

The moment Lu Ming held the red ghost scissors in his hand, his gaze began to change strangely.

The only light source in the room, the dim oil lamp, went out after a few flicks, making the entire room feel dim and oppressive.

A rotting human head appeared on the ceiling, various mutilated limbs were scattered haphazardly on the floor, there was the sound of dripping water, and the fleeting figure of a female ghost.

"As expected, it's a useless piece of junk, completely incomparable to the Ghost Candle. For such a thing to cost three yuan, that Mr. Liu really isn't that kind."

The ghost tamers who came to Taiping Ancient Town this time were not inexperienced newbies. Even Li Yang sensed something was wrong and immediately came to his senses.

He was about to ask a question, but he vaguely saw Lu Ming holding a pair of red scissors in the darkness, his face cold and silent, so he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

At such a critical moment, even the slightest action can have irreversible consequences.

Therefore, unless he discovers that Lu Ming has been subjected to an irresistible supernatural attack, or Lu Ming actively asks for help, Li Yang will not act rashly.

Lu Ming ignored the unusual sight in his line of sight.

These vengeful spirits represent some terrible curses.

Although he had cleaned the ghost scissors in the blood pool before, Lu Ming used the supernatural item again in the ghost temple in the island nation.

He estimates that he can use the Ghost Scissors a maximum of five more times.

If he continues to force it after five times, Lu Ming will be tainted by a new and terrible curse, and the cycle will repeat, making the situation worse and worse.

Lu Ming ignored these supernatural phenomena and turned to look in the direction behind him.

Behind him stood a female ghost with long, wet hair, a chilling aura, and deathly pale skin.

The female ghost was very close to Lu Ming.

Or rather, they've already stuck together.

The female ghost's long, wet hair was still dripping water, which spread to Lu Ming's entire body, making him damp as well.

The long, black hair was like living seaweed, tightly binding Lu Ming, so he felt as if something was holding him tightly, and he couldn't break free without using supernatural means.

Although this female ghost's appearance is somewhat similar to Sadako's, it is not actually Sadako, but a completely new vengeful ghost.

"This is the curse of Ghost Lake..."

Lu Ming finally understood why he had felt so wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Moreover, the vengeful spirit within him stirred restlessly under the influence of the curse of the Ghost Lake.

"Sure enough, water ghosts, ghost wells, and torrential rains—these supernatural phenomena are all connected to Ghost Lake, which is why they've become restless under its influence..."

Some of Lu Ming's previous conjectures have now been confirmed.

Immediately afterwards, he raised the scissors in his hand, intending to cut off the female ghost's hands, feet, and hair.

"About four or five cuts will be enough to separate the curse from me."

Lu Ming made a rough judgment.

After four or five cuts, the Ghost Scissors reached their limit. The only thing to be careful about was that the Ghost Scissors couldn't be used until the next cleaning, unless Lu Ming opened the music box and played an even more powerful curse.

Liu San, Li Jun, Xiong Wenwen, and Li Yang all stared intently at Lu Ming, knowing that he had encountered a terrible danger. They were waiting for the outcome to see whether Lu Ming would successfully break free from the curse or be killed by it.

Even though Lu Ming, the ghost groom, is a renowned ghost tamer in the supernatural world, it's not impossible that he could be suddenly killed by an unknown curse one day.

Because Lu Ming's strength is only relative to them, the ghost tamers.

Even Lu Ming could be overwhelmed by a truly terrifying ghost.

Not to mention the possibility that Lu Ming's own vengeful spirit has caused the problem.

If that's the case, then there's even less of a solution.

The supernatural events that occurred after Lu Ming's ghost revived are beyond what can be described simply as S-level.

···········
Just as Lu Ming raised the ghost scissors, about to cut off the female ghost's limbs...

The female ghost seemed to sense the approaching danger, and some new rule was triggered, causing her to hold Lu Ming even tighter.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Cold water droplets dripped rapidly from Lu Ming's trouser legs, forming eerie puddles on the ground.

A chilling aura crept up Lu Ming's skin and spread throughout his entire body.

This feeling can be very unpleasant and extremely uncomfortable.

Lu Ming was no exception. Not only was he being corrupted by the Ghost Lake from the outside, but the water ghosts inside were also showing signs of being stirred up and revived.

Soon, Lu Ming's blood was replaced by murky, foul-smelling rainwater, and patches of lividity appeared on his pale skin, making it swollen and foul-smelling.

Wow!
An even louder sound of water erupted.

The sound of water grew louder as it approached, like ripples spreading across a calm lake, soothing and melodious like music.

As they got closer, not only Lu Ming, but also Li Yang and his group noticed that something was wrong.

The soothing sound of water gradually grew louder, almost becoming a noise. As the murky water beneath Lu Ming rippled, countless ghostly hands made of water emerged, trying to pull Lu Ming's body down.

"We can't wait any longer, let's take action now."

Li Jun's voice was deep, and a faint ghostly fire flickered in the darkness.

But Lu Ming's situation was clearly better than they had imagined.

Lu Ming interrupted coldly, "Don't worry about me, these little tricks won't have any effect on me."

If it were Lu Ming, who had only controlled one water ghost at the Ping An Hotel, he would most likely have been powerless to resist the terrifying curse of Ghost Lake and would have been directly assimilated.

However, the strength of the White Demon is not what it used to be.

After collecting the Ghost Well, Ghost Rainstorm, and Water Ghost, Lu Ming was able to directly counter-invade the curse of Ghost Lake.

After all, this is just a derivative curse, not the real Ghost Lake.

Lu Ming's original plan was to suppress the attack through anti-intrusion measures and then take the opportunity to completely sever the curse in order to prevent the next supernatural attack from becoming even more terrifying.

But when he invaded this eerie pool of water, he felt as if his entire being was enveloped by the foul-smelling lake water, including his consciousness.

"Ghost Lake has already stolen consciousness-type supernatural entities, yet we didn't even consider this..."

Lu Ming was somewhat annoyed.

The next moment, he heard the scraping sound of steel claws scraping against the wall deep in his consciousness.

This is Freddy protecting Lu Ming's consciousness from being invaded.

His consciousness, which had become blurred after being submerged by the lake water, suddenly became clearer again.

Although there were some mistakes, the final result was still good.

Freddy, a vengeful spirit with a protective mind, becomes extremely powerful after completing another piece of the psychic puzzle.

Even the lake water could not invade Lu Ming's consciousness.

When Lu Ming opened his eyes again, he found that he was no longer in a dark and oppressive hotel room.

He was in an even more desperate place.

This is in the pitch-black lake.

Lu Ming had a strange feeling; he hadn't entered Ghost Lake, yet he could see many things at the bottom of the lake.

Including pale, swollen female corpses.

The deeper you go into Ghost Lake, the stronger the lake water's suppression of the supernatural becomes, until it finally sinks to the bottom.

So what floats on top are the corpses of ordinary people, while those below are the ghost tamers.

Lu Ming couldn't touch anything because he hadn't entered the Ghost Lake. He had only used a medium to invade the lake water with his consciousness in order to peek into a part of the lake's scenery.

Suddenly, Lu Ming spotted a wisp of thick fog drifting in a corner of the lake.

Through the thick fog, some small buildings could be vaguely seen.

It looks like a county town from the last century.

This thick fog is fundamentally different from the vengeful spirits in other ghost lakes.

Ghost Lake cannot imprison or restrain it.

Rather than saying that Ghost Lake restricted the thick fog, it would be more accurate to say that the "ghost" used Ghost Lake to hide itself well and did not appear in the real world.

Lu Ming's expression shifted slightly.

"This is... the eerie county town where the Ghost Stage is located?"

Not long ago, I was still figuring out how to get into this eerie county town, but after arriving in Taiping Ancient Town, I haven't found a single useful clue.

But by some twist of fate, they unexpectedly stumbled upon a strange county town at the bottom of the lake.

Finding the location of the Ghost Stage was an unexpected bonus.

But it's definitely impossible to just go in like that.

The eerie county town is hidden in the Ghost Lake, a place of supernatural occurrences. Even top-tier ghost tamers would likely be helpless against it.

But Lu Ming is different. He has the Ghost Scissors in his hand, and the ghost bride he's with also controls the Ghost Painting, which allows him to unleash terrifying Ghost Painting Ghost Domains.

······
real world.

Lu Ming raised the ghost scissors in his hand slightly.

Thread-like things connect the ghost scissors to the eerie county town.

This is a supernatural medium that no other ghost tamer could possibly see.

The lake is teeming with vengeful spirits, and the curses are countless.

Especially the bottom of the lake.

The vengeful spirits that can be sunk here are all extremely dangerous beings.

Therefore, the supernatural mediums that the Ghost Scissors connect to are certainly not limited to the one that connects to the eerie county town.

The densely packed silk threads reflected in the cold, oppressive lake water were dizzying to look at.

With his powerful mental strength, Lu Ming accurately identified four or five lines.

These are all supernatural mediums connected to the eerie county town. There may be some slight discrepancies, but they should be generally correct.

Ashes began to fall around Lu Ming, the ghostly paintings and ghostly domains, following the shape Lu Ming desired, invaded the strange county town through these mediums.

It's a very strange method. If other ghost tamers saw this scene, they would definitely find it hard to understand.

Because Lu Ming stayed inside Boss Liu's hotel the whole time, without taking a single step outside, or even stepping into the cold, damp puddle that had appeared out of nowhere.

However, Lu Ming was able to use the medium to break through the barrier between the supernatural and reality, bypass the obstacle of Ghost Lake, and directly establish contact with the eerie county town where the Ghost Stage was located.

In this way, Lu Ming can find the Ghost Stage.

And it won't cause trouble for Ghost Lake.

The previous ghosts he found were not from the Ghost Stage, but on the fourth time, Lu Ming finally sensed the existence of that county town.

"Success."

Lu Ming didn't waste any words.

After using the medium, the first thing he did was take out the ghost scissors and cut off the limbs of the female ghost clinging to his back with four consecutive cuts.

Meanwhile, in the real world, at Mr. Liu's hotel.

A strange, gray scroll unfolds out of thin air.

It was truly a ghostly realm.

The Ghost Painting Ghost Realm has established a connection with the eerie county town. Stepping into the painting allows one to cross the Ghost Lake and directly reach the eerie county town shrouded in thick fog.

"We've found the target for this mission. Stay behind me and don't get separated."

"Ready to enter the painting."
