Chapter 206 The Ghostly Cleaver Changes Hands, White Water Town (4k)

The reflection in the eerie mirror caused the slayer to see itself reflected in the mirror, and the eerie killing pattern took effect on the slayer itself.

He raised his black arm, not lowering it, but the inevitable killing pattern had already been triggered.

The ghostly cleaver possesses a terrifying supernatural effect on itself.

This is a cleaver that can dismember even a real vengeful ghost.

Logically speaking, even killing ghosts cannot compare to the power of this machete itself.

Whether it was due to some peculiar connection between the two, or because the demon slayer had acquired some special characteristics by borrowing from the demon temple, it had always been able to perfectly wield this demon slayer sword.

The supernatural confrontation was decided in an instant.

The demon-slaying man's numb body stiffened, and he stood frozen in place, stunned.

The next moment, a huge, dark crack appeared on its body, and the flesh inside was completely turned inside out.

This is only the damage it suffered at the physical level.

The ghost-slaying knife dismembered the ghost's supernatural power, and at that moment, the ghost could not immediately restart itself.

Moreover, even if a restart is needed, there will be a brief window of opportunity, and Lu Ming's task is to seize that opportunity.

This is similar to the ghost messenger incident at the training base. The ghost messenger could restart infinitely on a single entity, but in the instant of restarting, the ghost tamer would still seize the opportunity and find the key to victory.

The vengeful ghost before you is just one of many vengeful spirits wandering in the Ghost Temple. The real terror of the Ghost Temple lies in the terrifying Buddha head tower in the center of the temple.

In terms of sheer terror, killing ghosts is nowhere near as terrifying as the ghost messengers at the training base.

So, unsurprisingly, Lu Ming took the opportunity to retrieve the shroud and then snatched the rusty machete from the ghost's hand.

After the shroud completely covered the ghost cleaver, Lu Ming noticed that a section of the surrounding ghost domain was missing.

This is the special ability of the shroud; once someone is bound by it, all supernatural phenomena can be kept out, ensuring that the ghosts inside cannot seep out.

If a cloth that can even contain ghosts can be affected by a ghost domain, the ghosts inside could easily escape.

A hazy, ghostly aura flashed by, carrying away the dismembered body of the slaying demon.

This time, Lu Ming used the five layers of ghost domain to send away the vengeful ghost without encountering any obstacles, because even the ghost-slaying itself had been dismembered by that rusty machete and needed to wait for the next time to restart in the oil painting in the courtyard.

"Coffin nails, ghost cleavers, ghost hatchets... these things all look rusty on the outside, maybe they have some special meaning, or at least they are related."

After Lu Ming used the shroud, things went much more smoothly, and he successfully retrieved the ghost cleaver.

However, his behavior seemed to trigger some kind of rule in this haunted temple, causing some strange things to begin to happen around him.

Ignoring the interference of other factors, the other ghosts stiffly turned their heads and looked at Lu Ming.

Snap, snap, snap!

Handprints and footprints appeared abruptly on the temple grounds, all stained with thick blood, layered upon each other, appearing extremely chaotic and disorderly.

The surrounding light became dim and oppressive.

"Because of me, unpredictable changes have occurred here, and I must leave immediately."

Lu Ming's first thought was to escape as quickly as possible.

Fighting countless vengeful ghosts here is clearly an unwise move.

Ghosts cannot be killed, and no one knows exactly how many ghosts are in the Ghost Temple. It is very likely that this place is connected to some other supernatural place, or even several supernatural places.

Even if all the vengeful ghosts that can be seen now are restricted, the number of ghosts is still endless, and they could drag Lu Ming down to his death.

Having figured this out, Lu Ming quickly used the invasion of the Ghost Domain to leave the area affected by the Ghost Temple.

After taking the ghost cleaver outside the ghost temple, the rusty cleaver trembled, making Lu Ming think that it was about to break free from the constraints and influence of the shroud.

At this moment, the Ghost Cleaver completely changed hands, transforming from a supernatural tool that could only be used by ghosts into Lu Ming's supernatural weapon.

Lu Ming looked somewhat dazed. It wasn't that he wanted to be distracted, but rather that holding the ghost cleaver, he seemed to see some strange hallucinations, or rather, the source of the ghost cleaver's supernatural power.

"What I see before me is all an illusion."

As the supernatural power of the Deceitful Ghost was activated, at the same time, the scraping sound of Freddy's steel claws echoed deep within Lu Ming's consciousness.

Under the protection of these two supernatural forces, Lu Ming's consciousness was not invaded by the source of the Ghost Cleaver.

The surrounding area returned to the normal city scene.

This is a city in an island nation, densely populated, with pedestrians coming and going in a hurry.

"The Ghost Cleaver is in my hands."

"This thing is even more terrifying than I imagined; it's at least on par with the Ghost Cleaver..."

"However, when it comes to my supernatural weapon, the black umbrella is more suitable. Not only does it have a higher potential, but it is also more compatible with my rain-related supernatural abilities."

Lu Ming had a slight thought, but he didn't feel conflicted about it.

Because there is no rule that says you can only have one supernatural weapon.

He could easily wield both the black umbrella and the demon-slaying knife in his hand at the same time.

They could even try to merge the two, just like Yang Jian in the original timeline created the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear.

With precedents to follow, Lu Ming's idea was not far-fetched.

Just then, Lu Ming's satellite phone rang.

The reason why almost all ghost controllers are equipped with satellite phones is that even in the absence of a signal, or even during paranormal events, satellite phones can still receive information.

But haunted places are different.

The supernatural place where Lu Ming was just now could be said to have escaped reality and belonged to another special kind of place.

Therefore, Lu Ming didn't receive the call until he came out of that place.

It was a call from Mishima, the president of an exorcism society in Japan.

Lu Ming answered the phone.

"What is it? Just say it."

Mishima on the other end of the phone stammered, seemingly a little embarrassed to speak.

"Mr. Lu, you happen to be in our island nation right now. Could you please do me a favor?"

"Here's what happened: a while ago, a paranormal event occurred in Hokkaido, Japan. A ghost dressed in a long black robe was wandering around the residential area, and every time it knocked on a door, everyone inside would die..."

"This paranormal event has had a huge impact, and the public opinion is already out of control, so we would like to ask you for help. The reward and price are negotiable."

The reason why Mishima immediately thought of Lu Ming was because...

Firstly, because Lu Ming's methods in handling the S-level ghost temple incident were indeed extraordinary.

Secondly, after investigating the data, their island nation's exorcism society discovered that this ghost actually came from China.

Previously known in China as the "Dachang City No. 7 Middle School Door-Knocking Ghost Incident," its level of terror was classified as A.

Some members of the exorcism club even believed that Lu Ming was the one who brought the ghost, and that Lu Ming was the mastermind behind it all. But Mishima wasn't that naive.

He knew very well that if Lu Ming really wanted to destroy their exorcism society, he wouldn't need to resort to these underhanded tactics.

As long as Lu Ming takes action, the Exorcism Society will never see the sun rise again.

Upon hearing that the "knocking ghost" incident had finally erupted in Japan, Lu Ming smiled silently.

The Seven Elders of the Republic of China were indeed a group of people who stood at the pinnacle of the supernatural. If they hadn't been unable to overcome the limitations of their own lifespan, it wouldn't have been impossible for them to end this era of the supernatural.

However, the "knocking ghost" cannot be equated with Luo Wensong, one of the Seven Elders.

The door-knocking ghost is at best only one part of Luo Wensong's puzzle.

Knowing the rules of the knocking ghost's killings beforehand, Lu Ming wouldn't have much trouble dealing with this supernatural event.

If this were in China, Lu Ming would have helped out anyway.

However, this happened in an island nation, and judging from the attitude of these islanders, they were not too willing to talk about compensation. Instead, they wanted to try to find out Lu Ming's bottom line.

Since these people are so insincere, and the door-knocking ghost incident really has nothing to do with him, Lu Ming naturally won't get involved.

"President Mishima, are you mistaken? I have no connection with your exorcism club, and I am not from Japan. Any paranormal events that occur here have nothing to do with me."

Lu Ming's refusal was quite clear. After saying that, he hung up the phone without showing any mercy, leaving only the president of the company, Mishima, with a livid face on the other end.

"Damn it... After Nagasaki's death, the exorcism society no longer has a demon tamer capable of handling things on their own..."

"A knocking ghost from China managed to make us so miserable."

Mishima felt somewhat troubled.

The ghost temple incident that broke out was initially rated as an S-level paranormal event.

It's not unusual that an S-level paranormal event can't be resolved.

But now, this seemingly insignificant "A-level door-knocking ghost" incident, which wouldn't even rank in China, has somehow driven their island nation to the brink of despair...

···········
Having taken the demon cleaver from the ghost temple, Lu Ming immediately left the island nation and returned to China.

On the way back, Lu Ming did not take a private plane, but instead used the Ghost Domain Rainbow Transformation technique to travel directly.

This experience in the island nation seemed long, but in reality, it didn't last long at all, less than a day.

Lu Ming is now very punctual.

The God Space assigned him survival tasks in the mysterious resurrection world, with each task taking longer than the last, seemingly increasing the difficulty. However, for Lu Ming, surviving in the mysterious resurrection world was no longer a challenge.

What he needed to consider was how to accomplish more within the limited time available.

"Next, we need to figure out a way to quickly get through the ghost post office."

"According to the rules of the Ghost Post Office, even the messenger on the floor with the highest delivery frequency can only deliver one letter every seven days, and the third letter on each floor is the letter for going upstairs."

"At this rate, not to mention that the messengers on the upper floors might not receive a single delivery mission in a year, even if all delivery missions were only once every seven days, I would still have to wait until the year of the monkey to clear the Ghost Post Office."

Lu Ming did not intend to send the letter in the conventional way.

Or rather, he had no intention of delivering the message at all.

The messengers at the Ghost Post Office all know that each person can go upstairs after delivering their third letter, but new people join on each floor.

This will create a very strange phenomenon.

The Ghost Post Office is filled with a mix of new and old people on every floor.

While Ghost Post Office and God Space share some similarities, the former is far less humane than the latter.

Placing old and new messengers on the same level is not intended for the old messengers to mentor the new ones, or even for them to help each other.

Rather, it was to allow capable new messengers to ascend the stairs more quickly.

There is one point that is quite counterintuitive.

Whether or not someone can be allowed upstairs depends not on the number of letters delivered, but on that crucial letter.

The third letter in the messenger's hand on each floor is the most crucial letter for going upstairs.

If you can steal the messenger and deliver it yourself, you can replace the original messenger and go upstairs, while the original messenger's delivery progress on this floor will be reset to zero.

Under these rules, the best course of action for Lu Ming is to steal the letters from other messengers.

Moreover, after stealing the letter, Lu Ming doesn't necessarily need to deliver it personally.

Tearing up the letter will trigger a terrible curse, and vengeful ghosts will continuously attack the messenger who tore up the letter.

But if a surviving such a horrific attack is deemed a successful delivery by the post office, the post office will deem the messenger to have delivered the letter.

Snatch the third letter upstairs, then tear it up. Theoretically, after repeating this five times, the Ghost Post Office will be cleared.

But this dreadful post office has other, more hidden rules that aren't so easy to deal with.

Even if everything goes smoothly, every time you tear up a letter, the next ghost that appears will be even more terrifying.

According to the messengers in the Ghost Post Office, even the strongest ghost tamer can only withstand three waves of attacks at most.

"Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't. Even without such a brutal approach, given enough time, I can also clear the Ghost Post Office."

Zhang Dong's son, Zhang Xianguang, was able to pass through the Ghost Post Office three times, so there's no reason why Lu Ming can't.

Lu Ming even speculated that using the Ghost Cleaver and Ghost Mirror together would allow the supernatural elements to accumulate, creating a supernatural attack method similar to Zhang Xianguang's.

After making all the plans, Lu Ming suddenly saw a seemingly insignificant message.

Another person in charge at headquarters has gone missing.

It is quite normal for a ghost tamer to die while handling paranormal events, or for their own vengeful spirit to resurrect.

However, Lu Ming was very familiar with the name of the missing Ghost Tamer.

Just like the ghost skin that died back then.

"Xiao Yang?"

The person in charge of Dashan City is named Xiao Yang, and his code name is Gui Yu.

This guy suddenly went missing not long ago; the place where he went missing is called Baishui Town.

According to headquarters' deduction, it is highly likely that some kind of supernatural event occurred in Baishui Town, and Xiao Yang, who wanted to investigate, got caught in it.

"Xiao Yang's ghost rain may also be a piece of the puzzle of the supernatural within me."

"But he may not necessarily die, and I don't necessarily need this piece of the puzzle."

Lu Ming shook his head, and after a moment's thought, gave up on heading to Baishui Town immediately.

After all, he is not a real vengeful ghost now. On the contrary, Lu Ming's consciousness is clearer than most ghost tamers, and he will not completely follow the instinctive actions of a vengeful ghost.
