Chapter 20, Room 31 (Please continue reading)
Lu Ming's idea was simple.

Both doors are death doors; this is a rule established by the newspaper ghost through some supernatural means.

He could simply use a more terrifying supernatural force to suppress the original rules and create new ones.

Yang Jian's three-layered ghost realm was no match for the fierce ghost behind the door.

However, the ghostly mourning clothes that Lu Ming was wearing were in an extremely unbalanced state with the mummified bride, and they could not stack the strength of the ghostly domain, so they could not resist the rules of the Gate of Death.

Fortunately, by using the power of the woodcutter ghost to suppress the power of the mummified bride, Lu Ming is currently able to use the powers of both ghosts to a certain extent without causing the vengeful spirit to revive.

In the extra corridor on the fourth floor of the Caesars Hotel, ashes from paper were falling in droves, and they were still seeping towards the door of room 31.

The ashes drifted into the boundless darkness beyond the door, and the eerie black figures seemed to have encountered something even more terrifying, and thus retreated on their own.

tread!tread!tread!
Lu Ming had no expression, but his face became as cold and stiff as a dead man's. He held the mummified bride's left hand and approached the door step by step.

The door, which had been tightly closed, was now completely open. Lu Ming and the mummified bride walked around as if they were back home, looking very relaxed, as if they were in a safe place rather than a haunted place.

As the two stepped completely into the room, the ghost behind the door was completely suppressed and made no sound.

One of the two doors mysteriously disappeared, or rather, both doors disappeared, and what is now revealed is the true entrance to Room 31.

Yang Jian and the others, who witnessed all of this in the corridor, felt a strange chill rise in their hearts.

They were unaware that Lu Ming's stability was only temporary.

All they knew was that this guy was even more terrifying than a real ghost, and he was clear-headed, showing no signs of being corrupted by supernatural forces.

If Lu Ming hadn't instructed Xiong Wenwen to continue using her precognitive abilities, they would all have died here due to carelessness.

"Lu Ming is in charge of this operation, so it's not unacceptable to give him the ghost newspaper."

Yang Jian shook his head, thinking to himself.

Lu Ming put in so much effort, and they had already agreed on the ownership of the ghost newspaper when they reached the cooperation agreement.

Yang Jian is a well-known figure in the paranormal community, and he would be embarrassed to go back on his word now.

Before them, the real Room 31 finally appeared, and the dim yellow light shining from the room slightly illuminated the dark corridor.

But the light did not bring any warmth; instead, it made the group of people feel wary.

Russell hesitated to approach, whispering, "Is there still danger waiting for us in the room?"

Yang Jian shook his head: "No one can say for sure. Xiong Wenwen's precognition can no longer be used. At this final stage, whether she can survive depends on fate."

After saying that, he looked in the direction of Xiong Wenwen and saw that the little brat had lost his previous spirit. His face was pale and he looked like a real paper doll. He was sickly and had a weak breath, giving people the feeling that he would die at any moment.

Yang Jian originally wanted Xiong Wenwen to wait in the corridor outside for a while. After all, this guy was a ghost tamer codenamed "Spirit Child" with extremely special abilities. Although Zhao Jianguo agreed to send Xiong Wenwen to support Yang Jian, he repeatedly emphasized that he should do his best to ensure the safety of this naughty kid.

“Waiting in the corridor isn’t safe either. There are too many rooms here, and no one knows if one of these doors will suddenly open. If Xiong Wenwen were outside alone at that time, she would definitely not survive if she were attacked by a vengeful ghost.”

After weighing their options, Yang Jian, Xiong Wenwen, Luo Suyi, Lin Luomei, and Huang Fei followed Lu Ming and the mummified bride into room 31.

The scene in room 31 is completely different from the scene in room 13.

The space here is very large and appears very bright; even a normal person who cannot control a vengeful spirit can see the situation inside the room clearly.

But this wasn't necessarily a good thing, because the scene in room 31 was truly horrifying. The walls of the room were covered with old, blood-stained newspapers, and in the center of each newspaper hung a lifelike human face with its eyes closed and features fully defined.

The newspaper ghosts don't have a fixed target; the owners of these faces range from the elderly to children, from men to women—there's something for everyone.

Even with just a rough estimate, there are at least two or three hundred of these faces, more than the number of bodies displayed in room 13.

Lu Ming looked around the area.

Influenced by the supernatural, he felt little fear, only extreme calmness in his thinking.

"The ghost newspaper I wanted is in here... Judging from the ghost newspaper's several arrangements, this is almost a perfect trap for me and Yang Jian, but that ghost obviously underestimated the horror of the mummified bride."

"Is this... Tong Qian's funny grin?"

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Lu Ming continued to examine the faces hanging on the surrounding walls.

Behind each face is a red newspaper, which is like a supernatural derivative.

Among them was the eerie smiling face of the ghost-faced Tong Qian, covered with a thin black cloth, in a state similar to that of a slumber.

Lu Ming had no intention of returning the face to headquarters, after all, Tong Qian had already sacrificed herself, and the face might be useful to him later.

So he used the Ghost Domain to quietly collect that smiling face.

Lu Ming had never come into contact with the so-called ghost newspapers before, which are the source of these red newspapers, so it would be difficult for him to identify the source newspaper in a short time.

The best course of action is to take all the newspapers with you.

However, Lu Ming chose another method.

His eyes rolled stiffly as he looked at Russell and said, "Go and take down these red newspapers one by one. I'm taking them all with me."

After saying that, Lu Ming kindly reminded him, "I can't guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen, so you'd better stay vigilant at all times."

Upon hearing this, Russell instinctively shrank back.

He was certainly unwilling to do such a dangerous thing, but he dared not disobey Lu Ming's orders.

This guy isn't a ghost tamer from headquarters; he acts without any rules, completely according to his own whims.

If you anger him and get killed, then you can only blame your own bad luck.

So Russell had to carefully step forward and begin to collect the red newspapers hanging on the wall one by one using professional methods.

Russell moved very quickly; soon, more than two hundred faces were densely piled up in the gold woven bag. While observing Lu Ming's expression, he handed the bag over.

Lu Ming wasn't as happy as he'd imagined. Instead, he frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Whether you are a ghost tamer or an ordinary person, anyone who gets close to that ghost newspaper from the source will be attacked by supernatural forces.

So he sent Russell to collect newspapers to help him distinguish the real ghost newspapers.

What Lu Ming didn't expect was that, in the end, that ghost newspaper never attacked Russell.
