Chapter 205 A New Supernatural Layer, "Zhang Xianguang" Appears!
Chapter 205 A New Supernatural Layer, "Zhang Xianguang" Appears!
Before setting off, Lu Ming went to the outskirts of Dachang City and cleansed the curse on the Ghost Scissors from the blood pool formed after Yan Li's death.
It was also confirmed that the area where the black umbrella was located was well sealed off and there were no signs of trespassing.
After that, Lu Ming set off for the island nation.
This was his second time visiting the island nation. He had not informed the exorcism society, but when Lu Ming's private plane landed at an airport in the island nation, a group of high-ranking members of the exorcism society were already waiting at the airport to respectfully welcome Lu Ming's arrival.
Lu Ming glanced over and saw the same bald man in a suit, all smiles, followed by a group of beautiful Japanese women holding a huge banner that read, "Welcome Mr. Lu to Japan."
Seeing this, Lu Ming shook his head helplessly.
Like China, the resources controlled by the Japanese exorcism society are among the best in the entire island nation, so it's not surprising that they knew about Lu Ming's arrival.
However, the scale of this operation was different from the last one.
Last time, Mishima was waiting at the airport with a group of men in black suits, looking like a bunch of underlings in a movie waiting for the mastermind of a yakuza organization.
Perhaps sensing that Lu Ming wasn't interested in that kind of welcome, Mishima changed his strategy this time.
However, what Mishima didn't know was that bringing a group of beautiful women to greet him might have some effect on other men, at least satisfying their vanity to some extent.
However, Lu Ming was used to this kind of scene and seemed completely unmoved, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.
"Mr. Lu, is there anything you need me to do for you by visiting us today?"
Mishima bowed deeply as he cautiously inquired.
He seemed to be concerned about Lu Ming's needs, but in reality, he was confirming some kind of risk.
Lu Ming's last trip to the island nation, while helping the island's exorcism society solve a lot of trouble, also took away a full 50 tons of gold and two vengeful ghosts.
Therefore, Mishima was very concerned about what Lu Ming was going to do in the island nation, so as to prepare in advance.
In Mishima's view, with Lu Ming's strength, he could completely destroy the entire Exorcism Society by himself.
What he didn't know was that the Lu Ming he knew was outdated.
The current Lu Ming is a far cry from the Lu Ming of the past in terms of strength.
It's not that Mishima's perspective is too static; the main reason is that, if you really think about it, it hasn't been that long since Lu Ming last came to the island nation to deal with the ghost temple incident.
He truly couldn't comprehend how a top-tier ghost tamer could achieve such a significant improvement in such a short period of time.
Lu Ming didn't even glance at Mishima, and said indifferently, "Don't worry about things that aren't your concern. Don't worry, my visit to Japan this time will not affect your exorcism society."
Hearing Lu Ming's promise, Mishima secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he still smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you are too kind. You will always be a friend of our Exorcism Society. You can ask us for anything you need, and we will do our best to meet your needs."
"Really?"
Lu Ming revealed a mocking smile.
"Then you should send another 10 tons of gold to my company."
Upon hearing this, Mishima's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he made indistinct sounds, seemingly unsure of how to respond.
Lu Ming didn't say much, smiled and turned to leave.
I've heard many people online say that people from island nations pay great attention to etiquette and know how to treat guests well.
But now, based on his actual experience, Lu Ming felt that it wasn't politeness, but hypocrisy.
Including President Mishima, these islanders are always polite in words, but in reality they like to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Of course, Lu Ming did not deny that there were good Japanese people, such as the few ghost tamers who participated in the ghost temple incident with him last time, who were quite good.
However, Lu Ming had a very bad impression of high-ranking members of the exorcism society, such as Mishima and Nagasaki.
"Mr. Lu..."
Mishima was about to say something more, but when he turned his head, he realized that Lu Ming had already disappeared without a trace, his figure vanishing from the spot like a ghost.
···········
If it weren't for the transformation of his spiritual power and the infinite supernatural superposition, Lu Ming would definitely not have been willing to risk entering the ghost temple in the island nation again.
After all, this is an S-level paranormal event.
The scene of being trapped in the Ghost Temple by the Ghost Realm, unable to escape no matter what, is still vivid in my mind.
Even though Sadako now controls the Ghost Well, and Lu Ming won't be trapped in the Ghost Temple, it doesn't mean the danger within the Ghost Temple has disappeared.
After all, Lu Ming was going to snatch a supernatural item from a terrifying ghost.
Upon arriving in Kamiyama Town, which they had visited before, a gray, ghostly aura immediately spread out and invaded the demon temple.
Two figures, one in white and one in red, suddenly appeared.
Mourning clothes and wedding clothes move on their own even without wind.
"Although there is no ghost realm trapping me, the terrifying eeriness I felt before is still there."
"This thing should be the origin of the Ghost Temple."
Lu Ming had no intention of confronting the source of the Ghost Temple directly.
This paranormal event occurred in an island nation and had little to do with him.
Therefore, even if it could be completely resolved, Lu Ming was unwilling to take the risk.
His sole purpose in entering the ghost temple was to take the ghost-slaying knife from the ghost-killer's hand.
If Lu Ming had already obtained the Demon Slayer Sword in the Tomie world, things wouldn't have been as troublesome as before.
Because this ghost-slaying knife can even dismember a real vengeful ghost, meaning it can dismantle rules, the supernatural power that controls the ghost-slaying knife will become a truly terrifying existence.
Lu Ming returned to the familiar temple courtyard.
However, when Sadako controlled the Demon Well, the pervasive mist disappeared.
Lu Ming was finally able to see the scene around him clearly.
Boom boom boom!
The dull sound of the clapper rang out as expected.
A ghost appeared.
The order was the same as last time; the first one to appear was a skinny, lecherous man.
After the sound of the clapper rang out, Lu Ming hid in the ghost realm, as if he were in another world, coldly observing everything before him.
The lecherous ghost possessed a death curse, but Lu Ming didn't exist in reality and didn't even look at it, so the lecherous ghost couldn't do anything to him.
One after another, the sound of clappers rang out.
Just as the fourth clapper sounded, a bang, and an old wooden door was opened.
A blurry, ghostly figure slowly emerged.
The ghost's face was quite flat, without any facial features, only two through-holes, which were unclear whether they were noses or eyes.
If we only consider the level of terror of this ghost itself, it is no less than any of the three ghosts that appeared earlier.
If you also consider the rusty machete that the ghost is dragging in its hand, then the level of terror becomes much higher.
“The traces left from the last paranormal event handled here have all disappeared. I don’t know if this is a special method similar to rebooting, or if all the traces have simply been erased by the paranormal.”
Suddenly, Lu Ming's expression changed, and he brought the ghost bride from the supernatural into reality.
He casually tossed a substitute doll, which landed not far from the ghost. The faceless ghost abruptly turned its head, pointing the two small holes on its face directly at the substitute doll that Lu Ming had thrown.
A ghost stared at a dirty, old substitute doll.
Although they only made eye contact for a very short time, it was enough.
The scapegoat was mistaken for Lu Ming by the murderer.
The killing pattern of the demon was triggered, and it stiffly raised its hand, holding the rusty demon cleaver high.
Before the ghostly cleaver could even fall, a bizarre supernatural event completely dismembered the substitute doll, breaking it into several parts.
"It's now."
Lu Ming seized the moment right after Killing Ghost finished his attack and used his Ghost Domain to envelop Killing Ghost and the Ghost Cleaver in his hand.
Lu Ming's target was the Ghost Cleaver, but the essence of this supernatural item was also a ghost, and a ghost of extremely high terror.
Even using five layers of ghost domain, it's impossible to simply send this cleaver away.
So Lu Ming changed his strategy. He would use the five layers of ghost domain to send the ghost away, and then take the ghost-slaying knife that had been left behind.
The idea sounded reasonable, but in practice, Lu Ming realized that he had oversimplified it.
Even the Demon Slayer itself couldn't be sent away by the fifth layer of the Ghost Domain!
"how is this possible?"
"Given the sheer terror of this ghost, using five layers of ghost domain to send it away shouldn't be too difficult..."
Lu Ming's mind raced as he tried to come up with a solution.
He didn't know what had happened to the ghost killer either.
Did this ghost-slaying knife change the level of terror in killing ghosts?
Or perhaps, at the moment he was sent away by the ghost realm, the killing of ghosts underwent some kind of change?
"I can't worry about that now, he's looking at me."
Just as the slaying ghost was about to raise its head, and the other vengeful ghosts were about to focus their attention on Lu Ming, the killing ghost was about to raise its head.
Lu Ming threw out another scapegoat doll.
This operation exceeded Lu Ming's expectations.
The dirty, old substitute doll hadn't even hit the ground before it was cleaved in two by the ghost-slaying knife.
"Thank goodness, if I had thrown it any later, I would have been the one cut in two..."
As for the remaining three ghosts, Lu Ming entrusted them to Sadako and Tomie, who were born from this.
I don't need to imprison or confine these ghosts; I just need to buy them enough time.
"If we can't send the ghost away, then we'll have to take it by force."
This was the last coercive measure Lu Ming could think of.
Without thinking twice, he rushed straight at the demon and snatched its demon-slaying sword.
As long as the killing pattern of the Ghost Cleaver is not triggered, even if the Ghost Cleaver wants to kill Lu Ming, it will be very difficult to do so.
The reason they didn't do it from the beginning was because it was a last resort for Lu Ming.
Contact with vengeful ghosts is inherently dangerous, let alone Lu Ming trying to snatch something from one of them in a haunted temple.
"Things have come to this point, we can't worry about anything else. We're already here, we have to take the Ghost Cleaver with us today."
Lu Ming took the ghost bride's hand and took a step forward.
The next moment, they were already in front of the demon killer.
If Lu Ming were to use the time stop of the sixth layer of the Ghost Domain now, not only would the Ghost Killer be stopped, but he himself would also be temporarily frozen in place, making it impossible for him to take the Ghost Slayer Blade.
Fortunately, the ghost-slaying action was extremely slow, giving Lu Ming ample time to snatch the ghost-slaying knife from its hand.
"got it."
Lu Ming gripped the hilt of the Ghost Cleaver; it felt extremely cold to the touch.
This wasn't just ordinary coolness; it had a slightly chilling feel that seemed to penetrate right into Lu Ming's skin.
Just to be on the safe side, Lu Ming used the same hand he was holding with the ghost bride to grip the hilt of the ghost cleaver.
He thought that in this brief supernatural confrontation, he could defeat the ghost and take away the ghost-slaying knife.
Unexpectedly, the moment Lu Ming came into contact with the ghost cleaver, his consciousness seemed to be invaded by some kind of supernatural force, and he went into a daze for a moment.
He barely recovered only after being sustained by extremely high levels of mental strength.
When Lu Ming came to his senses, he looked up and saw the two small, dark holes on the face of the demon killer.
not good!
Lu Ming realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
The ghost's killing pattern has been triggered, and it's too late to escape now.
With this strike, Lu Ming wouldn't be killed outright; he would only have to pay a price.
Even if he does nothing, and the Ghost Cleaver cuts Lu Ming in half and dismembers the supernatural beings he controls, he can still recover to his previous state by restarting.
However, these are not the things Lu Ming is considering right now.
Even using the Ghost Domain won't get rid of the Ghost Cleaver, and directly stealing it won't work either.
The problem wasn't with the ghost, but with the machete.
"I was too careless and overconfident in my abilities... I overlooked the fact that everything involving the supernatural is uncertain."
Because Lu Ming subconsciously felt that this trip to the island nation would go very smoothly, he did not wrap the machete in a shroud like Yang Jian did when he snatched Gui Gui's machete, but instead took it directly.
All thoughts flashed through my mind in a split second.
Lu Ming ultimately did not play by the rules.
A bold idea flashed through his mind.
There is some risk involved, but if he succeeds, he will not only be able to steal the Ghost Cleaver, but also unlock a new way of using it.
"The medium that triggers the Ghost Cleaver's killing pattern is seeing, which is related to vision... In that case, could we use the reflection of a mirror as a medium to achieve the superimposed supernatural effects of the Ghost Cleaver?"
Having mastered two supernatural phenomena related to "mirrors," Lu Ming has achieved the superposition of Sadako's supernatural abilities.
However, whether the current curse of the machete can be stacked through mirroring is also a crucial question.
This determines whether Lu Ming can achieve the same supernatural superposition as Zhang Xianguang.
The supernatural power of the liar is activated.
"Tomie is right in front of me right now."
The next moment, a little girl wearing a red floral jacket appeared between Lu Ming and the Killing Ghost. She was holding a mirror that exuded an eerie aura, and the mirror was directly facing the Killing Ghost who was about to raise his hand.
