Chapter 213 The two at their peak, their first head-on clash (4k)

Dahan City.

Inside the Ghost Post Office.

When Lu Ming saw the address on his envelope, he was taken aback.

The Caesars Hotel, located in ZS City...

Even a seasoned ghost tamer like Sun Rui might not be able to discern anything from this place.

But Lu Ming had been to this place in person and knew some of its secrets.

The Caesars Hotel is a haunted place; it's definitely not a simple place.

If you look closely, you'll also find a faint room number written in pencil inside the envelope.

Room 31.

Lu Ming now needs to deliver this letter to room 31 of the Caesars Hotel.

It was a number that seemed to have no profound meaning, but Lu Ming remembered that when he first came to the mysterious world of revival and came into contact with the Caesar Hotel, the room numbers related to the newspaper ghost were 31 and 13.

"Room 31 again... Is it a coincidence, or some kind of deliberate inevitability?"

Lu Ming frowned and fell into deep thought.

He even had the urge to tear up the letter right then and there.

Sending a messenger from the first floor to deliver a message through a non-existent corridor on the fourth floor of the Caesars Hotel is tantamount to sending the messenger to his death.

The letters delivered to Sun Rui and Wang Shan earlier were all normal, simple delivery tasks.

But when the letter from upstairs reached Lu Ming, the task changed, and the difficulty increased dramatically.

No one would believe it if I said this wasn't targeted.

However, after thinking it over, Lu Ming abandoned his plan to tear up the letter and decided to continue with the original plan.

If the Ghost Post Office really wants Lu Ming to go to the Caesars Hotel, then even if he tears up the letter, the post office will find another way to get him to the hotel.

For example, in the original timeline, Yang Jian received a red letter on the second floor of the Ghost Post Office, requiring him to go to Mingyue Community.

Instead of going to the address written on the envelope, Yang Jian tore up the letter.

As a result, his next delivery mission was still to Mingyue Community.

Since resistance is futile, we might as well comply with the post office's rules and send the letter to the Caesars Hotel.

"This letter is very special, and it may even be a trap set specifically for me, but I have no other choice but to deliver it."

"Besides... putting aside the Ghost Post Office factor, the Caesars Grand Hotel already has what I want."

Now that Lu Ming has mastered the Ghost Cleaver, which can dismember vengeful ghosts, he no longer needs to take the strange machete from the Caesars Hotel.

What he was really interested in were the ghost opera troupes that roamed the Caesars Hotel.

Those dozens of ghost performers are an important piece of the ghost opera troupe's puzzle, a crucial component in completing the Red and White Duo.

Since I'll have to go to the Caesars Hotel again sooner or later anyway, I might as well do the mail delivery quest while I'm at it.

"Captain, what's wrong? Is there a problem with the address on the letter?"

Li Yang knew Lu Ming well and immediately noticed something was wrong, so he took the initiative to ask him about it.

"It's nothing, it's just that this place is a rather special and haunted place, and it's very dangerous. I can go there alone."

“Captain, what are you saying?” Li Yang rarely retorted to Lu Ming, and continued, “How could I be a coward because of some potential dangers? That would be too shameful.”

Sun Rui agreed, saying, "That's right. I've heard of this Caesars Hotel before. It seems to be in ZS City... This paranormal incident has not been resolved, but it has been temporarily sealed off. Since it's a paranormal place related to a hotel, it must have many doors, just like the post office, which is perfect for Li Yang to use his skills."

Seeing that both of them said so, Lu Ming stopped arguing with them.

"In short, although the deadline for sending this letter is seven days, my time is limited. It would be best to complete the task within one day and get to the second floor of the post office."

As the group talked, the dim light had completely illuminated the post office; it was dawn, and the entire post office was awakening.

Wang Shan seemed to suddenly remember something and reminded him, "Oh, right, speaking of the deadline for completing the mission, besides the clues about the letter upstairs, I also heard a rumor before..."

"If you receive the first letter and then the second letter within the deadline for completing the task, and then the third letter, the three letters will be combined into one, becoming a brand new delivery task. Completing this new delivery task will allow you to go upstairs directly."

Lu Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.

Whether Wang Shan's news is true or false, it won't be of much use to Lu Ming.

After a brief discussion, Lu Ming and the other two left the Ghost Post Office one after the other.

Strangely, no sooner had they left the ghost post office than they discovered that it had vanished, replaced by a long-abandoned, unfinished building, exactly as it had been at the beginning.

After experiencing many dangers, they returned to Dahan City.

This place is undoubtedly a haunted place and does not exist in the real world.

Reality and the ghost realm overlap, and under normal circumstances, they do not affect each other. Only when Lu Ming uses the five layers of the ghost realm to break the boundary between the supernatural and reality will the real ghost post office appear in reality.

"We'll head to ZS City now."

Lu Ming was unaware of the current situation at the Caesars Hotel and could not determine it through simple deduction.

In short, the Caesars Hotel is teeming with evil spirits, so being careful and well-prepared is never a bad thing.

Sun Rui and Li Yang both nodded. They didn't have the authority to make decisions on this matter; they would just follow Lu Ming's arrangements.

But shortly after they left the blocked Jianshe Road, they began to see a few sparse pedestrians.

A huge crack suddenly appeared in the dark, oppressive sky.

A golden ghostly aura invaded the space where the three were located. Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly floated down from the crack. The person had his arms crossed, and his cloak fluttered without wind, making him look extremely confident.

"The Golden Ghost Domain, is it Ye Zhen from the Dahai City Paranormal Forum?"

Sun Rui's expression changed.

As a veteran ghost tamer, he had certainly heard of Ye Wudi's reputation.

However, it's unclear what Ye Zhen's appearance at this time signifies.

"I heard that Ye Zhen and Lu Ming had a fight, and Ye Zhen fled without a fight... I don't know if this rumor is true or false."

"If it's true, then Ye Zhen is probably here for revenge. And since he has the confidence to seek revenge, he must have changed a lot. He might be a bit troublesome."

Sun Rui's analysis is generally correct, but it differs from the facts in some details.

For example, Ye Zhen's Ghost Domain isn't actually golden. It's just that this guy likes to show off, and he always uses his Ghost Domain to break through the clouds and let the golden sunlight shine in, which creates the effect of a golden Ghost Domain.

Through misinformation, some ghost-controlling practitioners in the paranormal community mistakenly believed that Ye Zhen's ghost domain was truly golden. Li Yang, standing to the side, didn't recognize Ye Zhen, but frowned, looking somewhat impatient, as if he didn't like Ye Zhen very much.

When Ye Zhen landed wearing a cloak with the word "Justice" written on it, he said rather smugly, "Little Lu, I challenged you last time, but judging from your attitude at the time, you didn't seem to take me seriously."

“I can understand your approach, because nobody will remember the second place.”

"I'm here today to take back what rightfully belongs to me."

As Ye Zhen spoke, he slowly raised his head, allowing his handsome face to be fully bathed in the sunlight streaming in.

He had actually rehearsed this seemingly casual move many times in order to make his entrance more imposing.

If Lu Ming were to give his opinion, Ye Zhen's outfit was completely out of place for a normal person; if he walked down the street, he would turn heads 100% of the time.

"Ye Zhen, what are you trying to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to have a fair and square confrontation with you, just like we talked about last time. If I lose, not only me, but the entire paranormal forum can be under your command. But if I win, you must acknowledge me as your boss and return the title of Asia's number one to me."

Lu Ming and Ye Zhen have different chuunibyou (delusional) personalities. In fact, it would be hard to find another ghost tamer with a personality like Ye Zhen in the entire paranormal community.

He wasn't interested in fighting Ye Zhen and had originally planned to refuse.

After all, I had important business to attend to, and I needed to deliver the letter to room 31 of the Caesars Hotel.

But he didn't want Ye Zhen to keep bothering him like this.

"Fighting this guy wouldn't hurt; it wouldn't take much effort. Winning would give me complete control of the entire paranormal forum..."

Lu Ming hesitated only slightly before agreeing to Ye Zhen's request.

Verbal promises like "If you win, this will happen; if you lose, that will happen" are generally ineffective.

Especially in the paranormal community, among those who control spirits.

To talk about integrity without considering one's own capabilities is rather naive.

If it were anyone else, Lu Ming would absolutely not bother with them.

But Ye Zhen is different.

This chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) has many advantages; at least for the sake of his reputation, he won't go back on his word in such matters.

"Fine, let's fight then. But I'm curious, why do you suddenly have the confidence to deal with me?"

"Little Lu, Little Lu, don't look at things with a static perspective. You are making progress, and so am I. After a period of dedicated study, I am certain that I have found a way to defeat you."

As she spoke, Ye Zhen turned her gaze to the envelope in Lu Ming's hand.

"Judging from your appearance, you're going to deliver a letter, right? If you can beat me, I'll deliver the letter for you while I'm at it."

Ye Zhen was very thoughtful. He could tell that Lu Ming was going to deal with a paranormal event. In order to get Lu Ming to agree to his challenge, Ye Zhen even helped him figure out what to do about the paranormal event after the fight.

In Ye Zhen's view, they were the two people standing at the pinnacle of the current paranormal circle. This battle would surely be earth-shattering and ghost-weeping, a fierce and evenly matched contest.

"Let's do it."

The appearance of the ghost bride indicates that Lu Ming is also prepared.

Sun Rui and Wang Shan's expressions changed simultaneously, and they stepped back.

Although they were both ghost tamers, they were on a completely different level from the two people in front of them.

Sun Rui, in particular, could only truly understand such a sense of danger when facing real vengeful ghosts in supernatural events.

"These two are fighting. We can't get involved, or we'll definitely die a horrible death."

Seeing that Lu Ming had taken his stance, Ye Zhen stopped talking and drew his cracked and twisted longsword, slashing down with it.

"cut!"

It's a simple word, yet it's incredibly powerful.

A rift has been torn between reality and the ghost realm, and this rift is spreading outwards at an incredible speed.

He looked just like a powerful figure from a fantasy novel who could tear through the void.

"Another ghost realm capable of influencing reality?"

Sun Rui, who had retreated to a distance, twitched at the sight and thought to himself that these two guys were indeed freaks.

Ghost realms, which are rarely seen in normal times, are commonplace for them, and they can easily break down the boundaries between the supernatural and reality with their five-layered ghost realms.

Facing Ye Zhen's sword strike, Lu Ming remained calm and composed, saying, "You're so confident this time, you must have more tricks up your sleeve, right?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Zhen's ghostly domain invaded Lu Ming's presence.

"Look at the sword!"

Lu Ming did not look at the cracked longsword in Ye Zhen's hand as Ye Zhen had suggested.

Because he knew that the longsword in Ye Zhen's hand meant certain death.

"Not bad, Xiao Lu, you really didn't disappoint me. You've seen through the killing pattern of this sword."

Lu Ming didn't take the bait, but Ye Zhen showed no sign of panic. He chuckled and continued, "Take this!"

"No matter how many times you say it, I won't even glance at you, but you still keep doing it... This must be your newfound mastery of the supernatural, right?"

"You guessed it, but I might as well tell you. The vengeful spirit I've implanted into this sword can affect you on a conscious level. The moment I said 'Look at this sword,' whether you looked at my sword or not, it was already a fact."

"My sword, those who look upon it will surely die."

"My mind speaks the law."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming became somewhat interested.

He could tell that the supernatural abilities Ye Zhenxin possessed could not truly be considered as words becoming law.

At most, it's just an attack on the level of consciousness.

This guy is just good at packaging his abilities, and when he fights, he's not as ordinary as a typical ghost tamer; instead, he's incredibly cool.

"This ability is useful against ordinary ghost tamers, and can even have unexpected effects in paranormal events, but unfortunately it ran into my strength..."

Lu Ming's ability to become a top-tier ghost tamer and break through the limits that ordinary ghost tamers would have stems from his terrifying mental strength.

Not to mention that Lu Ming's consciousness is constantly protected by the vengeful ghost Freddy.

The ghost that Ye Zhen had driven into the sword could not possibly have invaded.

It can only be said that Ye Zhen, relying on habitual thinking, had some misunderstandings about Lu Ming, and never realized what was truly terrifying about Lu Ming.
