Chapter 21 Bloodstained Old Newspaper Acquired (Please Read On)
The newspaper ghost, holding a bloodstained old newspaper, will attack the person closest to it.

This is the killing pattern of that ghost; even a vengeful ghost with its own consciousness cannot make this rule invalid.

In other words, if Russell had come into contact with the original newspaper, regardless of the newspaper ghost's will, he would have been subjected to a supernatural attack.

"If the real bloodstained old newspapers aren't here, then where could they be?"

Lu Ming frowned and began to think.

"Lu Ming, Yang Jian... you should hurry up and leave after you've taken the newspapers. I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen."

Xiong Wenwen, who was following behind Yang Jian, suddenly spoke up.

Russell, one of the three from Dahai City, unusually did not refute Xiong Wenwen and agreed, saying, "Who knows what will happen in this place next? Not only is this Caesars Hotel like a ghost town, but the entire ZS City is like a ghost town. Dahai City is much safer."

Compared to Xiong Wenwen and the other three, Lu Ming and Yang Jian seemed much more somber.

The former didn't get the bloodstained old newspaper he wanted, while the latter hadn't yet dealt with the newspaper ghost that led him all the way to the hotel.

If we miss this opportunity, I don't know if we'll be able to so easily overcome the dangers that the newspaper ghost has prepared for us next time.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I'll stay here and take another look. If you want to leave, please do so."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Wenwen turned around and was about to leave. Judging from his hurried appearance, it seemed that he had something urgent to deal with.

Lu Ming's gaze darkened, and he said, "Wait a minute, Xiong Wenwen, you forgot something."

Turning around, Xiong Wenwen acted as if she hadn't heard these words and walked out along the corridor on her own, her pace quickening.

"There is indeed a problem."

"Although I brought in the knocking ghost in advance and took away most of the supernatural things in the hotel, and the tall male corpse wandering on the second floor has also been identified, the whereabouts of the newspaper ghost are still unclear, so this hotel is still not safe."

"Moreover, these rooms are also home to countless unknown and terrifying ghosts."

"Xiong Wenwen is in very poor condition right now and can no longer use his precognitive abilities. He couldn't possibly not realize that staying by my side and Yang Jian's side is the best choice. So there's only one explanation right now..."

As the ashes of the paper fell, the surrounding space seemed to be eroded and decayed by an eerie aura.

The next moment, Lu Ming and the mummified bride appeared in the corridor, blocking Xiong Wenwen's way.

He grabbed the brat and used supernatural means to restrain the evil spirit on Xiong Wenwen's body.

Unable to use her supernatural powers, Xiong Wenwen struggled desperately, flailing wildly in the air.

"Lu Ming, what are you doing! Attacking the Ghost Masters at headquarters is illegal!"

"Waaah... Don't hit me! Let's talk this out! Yang Jian, come save me!"

Ignoring Xiong Wenwen's crying and fussing, Lu Ming used the supernatural power of the mummified bride to summon ghosts.

Summoning ghosts can not only attract real vengeful spirits, but also revive the vengeful spirits within the ghost tamer to a certain extent.

As the withered, shriveled arm of the mummified bride was raised high in the air and swayed stiffly from side to side, Xiong Wenwen's struggling expression froze, and a scarlet, blood-stained old newspaper slowly emerged from Xiong Wenwen's face.

Unlike the previous supernatural derivatives, this newspaper was covered with densely packed small characters, and Xiong Wenwen's facial features were printed on it, making it exceptionally eerie.

The others, including Yang Jian, were all taken aback by what they saw.

Yang Jian had no idea that the newspaper ghost had taken advantage of their attention being focused on room 31 to secretly attack Xiong Wenwen, who was in the worst condition, and silently altered his consciousness. Even Xiong Wenwen himself was unaware of this.

If "Xiong Wenwen" were to leave Caesars Hotel and return to headquarters, the entire Ghost Tamer headquarters in J City would be infiltrated by supernatural phenomena.

At that time, it will lead to incalculable consequences.

Just imagining it in his mind, Yang Jian already felt a chill run down his spine.

···········
In the corridor.

Lu Ming took off the blood-stained old newspaper and found that the newspaper was not very terrifying, even weaker than the fully revived Ghost Rope. He could easily restrain it.

As Lu Ming acted, all the red newspapers that Russell had collected earlier lost their supernatural aura and turned into ordinary newspapers.

Afterwards, Lu Ming used supernatural means to erase the small print on the newspaper and returned the face to Xiong Wenwen.

Facial features reappeared on Xiong Wenwen's blurry face.

He opened his eyes, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "What... happened just now?"

Lu Ming's tone was completely flat as he explained, "You were attacked by the ghost newspaper. This newspaper wants to alter the memories of a ghost tamer. It needs to remove someone's face, write something on it, and then stick the face back on... It's easier for ordinary people to be attacked. As long as they get close, they will be affected. You were in a very bad state just now, so the newspaper ghost took advantage of the situation."

The newspaper ghost had no intention of confronting Lu Ming and his group head-on.

Although the blood-stained old newspaper could cover Yang Jian's ghost eyes, the newspaper ghost itself was not very terrifying.

Therefore, it could only escape by using Xiong Wenwen's identity.

Once it disappears into the vast sea of ​​people again, catching this ghost once more will not be an easy task.

After tidying up in room 31, the group went to the corridor one after another.

Lu Ming obtained the ghostly smiley face and the bloodstained old newspaper. Yang Jian also successfully eliminated the newspaper ghost and brought back the body of his high school classmate Zhao Lei. The most dangerous part of this operation was over.

On his way out of the Caesars Hotel, Lu Ming remained vigilant.

Although he can temporarily use the supernatural powers of the mummy bride and is able to protect himself, leaving too many traces in this dangerous hotel could cause him trouble in the future.

So Lu Ming disposed of all traces he left behind as he walked away.

Just then, Yang Jian's satellite phone rang.

The caller was Zhao Jianguo. After communicating with Yang Jian for a while, Yang Jian finally agreed to save the soon-to-be-resurrected Ghost Mist Feng Quan for headquarters.

Lu Ming wasn't very interested in such things. His most important task right now was to deal with the balance of his own vengeful spirit and to get through the remaining days in the mysterious resurrection world.

And so the two parted ways.

Before parting, Xiong Wenwen glanced at Lu Ming, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long pause, he nodded.

"Not bad, he has the potential to compete with Xiao Yang for the position of my father."
