Chapter 24 The Crying Face
Chapter 24 The Crying Face (Please continue reading)
Before them stretched endless mounds of graves, exuding an eerie aura against the dark blue sky.
Only the headlights on the front of the bus could slightly dispel the pervasive darkness.
The mourning ghost stood motionless among the densely packed graves, its head covered in mourning cloth.
Even without the mourning clothes, this vengeful ghost is still extremely terrifying and will kill indiscriminately.
"The bus didn't stop and turn off, which means I have to grab the 'Crying Grave Ghost's' face during the stop. I have very little time, so I must plan ahead..."
As the front and rear doors of the ghost bus opened, Lu Ming, holding the mummified bride's hand, was followed by a flurry of ashes falling from the bus. Two figures, one in white and one in red, appeared simultaneously amidst the densely packed graves.
As soon as he got close to the weeping ghost, Lu Ming felt an irresistible urge. Something was driving him to take action and remove the white cloth covering the ghost's head.
Lu Ming knew that he was being affected by the supernatural influence of the ghostly mourning clothes.
Mourning clothes and crying faces are like pieces of a puzzle, and the instinct of a vengeful ghost is to find and complete the missing pieces.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Lu Ming to have such an impulse.
"After all, it is a supernatural object. Direct contact with it will inevitably lead to many unexpected events. In many cases, contacting a vengeful ghost without taking any protective measures is extremely dangerous."
Sometimes, a careless action can have disastrous chain reactions.
Woohoo~
Just then, the wailing ghost seemed to have noticed Lu Ming's presence and let out a hoarse, dry cry.
The crying sounded very unpleasant, like rubbing a blackboard with fingernails; it was not something a normal living person could make.
For no apparent reason, Lu Ming also felt a surge of emotion and wanted to cry, tears welling up in his eyes.
Fortunately, Lu Ming's current ability to utilize the supernatural powers of two ghosts is itself an extremely terrifying existence, so he wouldn't be immediately affected by the crying.
Forcibly suppressing the urge to cry along with her, the mummified bride stretched out her hand, wrapped in withered brown skin, and tore off the white cloth from the head of the weeping ghost.
"Fortunately, I had already figured out the pattern of this ghost in advance... When the wailing ghost first starts crying, the supernatural influence is the weakest, but then, the mournful cries will continue to echo in the limited space, getting stronger and stronger, until finally killing all the living people nearby."
Without the white mourning clothes he was wearing, the terror of the wailing grave ghost was already greatly reduced.
This time, before the crying could intensify, the mourning cloth covering the head of the weeping ghost was completely ripped off by the mummified bride.
The wailing echoing from the grave chambers immediately stopped, and the wailing ghosts that were just in front of them had disappeared without a trace.
Not far away, the old engine of the bus made a noise. Lu Ming quickly used his Ghost Domain to get back to the bus and boarded it before the Ghost Bus started moving again.
Taking the white cloth, Lu Ming examined it. He saw that the cloth was rough and old. Rather than white cloth, it was more like it had been stained gray. It looked like it hadn't been used for a long time and was dirty.
One side is printed with the outline of a human face, the expression of which looks like it is crying, with crisscrossing cold tears on its face.
Turn it over, and you'll still see the outline of a crying face.
The ghost bus in its active state has a suppressive effect on vengeful ghosts and supernatural phenomena, because the bus itself is an extremely terrifying vengeful ghost.
Therefore, on the ghost bus, Lu Ming didn't need to worry about the ghost faces on the white cloth attacking him.
Just to be on the safe side, Lu Ming still placed the white cloth he had just obtained into the gold container. Gold can repel supernatural phenomena, not because evil spirits are afraid of gold, but because supernatural phenomena are ineffective against gold.
In fact, Lu Ming had thought before about whether he could build a golden fortress similar to a safe house and live in it until the end of the supernatural era, but this was obviously not feasible.
Let's not even talk about how long a safe house like an isolated island can last without supplies.
Some terrifying ghosts, or those with self-awareness like human skin, can break through the barrier of gold using physical means.
Fortunately, the wailing face on the mourning cloth at the grave certainly couldn't do that.
···········
The ghost bus stopped at several more stations, with ghosts getting on and off along the way.
It can only be said that Lu Ming's operation went smoothly, and he did not encounter any particularly dangerous situations until the bus finally returned to its normal stop.
After getting off at a bus stop whose location was unknown, Lu Ming immediately bought a plane ticket back to Dachang City.
He could easily find any hotel to stay in and start controlling the vengeful spirit in his hands right now.
But Lu Ming did not do that.
He was unsure if anything unexpected might happen while controlling the Ghostly Face, and he wasn't entirely at ease in this unfamiliar environment.
"Now that we have both the crying ghost and the laughing ghost, according to the human skin paper, controlling these two ghosts at the same time will allow their supernatural powers to counteract each other and achieve balance."
That being said, Lu Ming did not have the idea of controlling both the smiling ghost face and the crying ghost face at the same time.
After all, with the presence of the mummified bride as an external factor, the risk of rashly controlling two vengeful ghosts at once is still too great.
Thinking about all this, Lu Ming boarded the plane alone with a cold expression. No one in the cabin noticed his abnormality. Passersby probably thought Lu Ming was a young man who was in a bad mood and traveling alone.
Lu Ming was actually full of anticipation for controlling the Ghost Crying Face.
Controlling this crying face not only enhances Lu Ming's own terror level and enriches his methods of using the supernatural, but also helps to build a new balance after the supernatural attack of the woodcutter ghost was completely suppressed by the mummified bride.
···········
Dachang City.
Lu Ming returned to the residential area where he rented a place.
The first thing he did when he got home was to take off his black trench coat.
A white mourning garment, imbued with an eerie aura, came into view. Perhaps it was just my imagination, but there seemed to be dried tear stains on the garment.
After closing all the doors and windows and isolating the room with the Ghost Domain, Lu Ming took out the golden container containing the Ghost Crying Face and a satellite phone.
In the event of an unforeseen emergency, this satellite phone will immediately dial the number of Yang Jian, the person in charge of Dachang City.
Although Lu Ming didn't want to get involved with headquarters, he and Yang Jian had a pretty good impression of each other after their two interactions.
After these preparations were completed, a woman dressed in a bright red wedding dress and wearing a red veil suddenly appeared to Lu Ming's right side.
