Chapter 254 The Golden Gunner Becomes Famous in the Paranormal Community! Seven Days in a Haunted House! (4k)

“Ah Wei, the dual-wielding golden gunman from Dachang City… I’ve remembered that name.”

It's no wonder the King's organization was so nervous.

This was originally a plan to hunt down the headquarters captain.

However, the hunt failed, and instead resulted in the deaths of two kings.

And the one who did all this was actually a ghost tamer who had never appeared in China before.

This incident forced the King's Organization to reassess its strength.

We must not act rashly until "that plan" can be fully realized.

It's no wonder they're so cautious. From the perspective of these people in the King's Organization, any Ghost Tamer randomly pulled out from the China headquarters is a hidden master with unfathomable strength, which is simply despair-inducing.

The appearance of Zhang Wei reversed the previously favorable situation for the King's organization.

"Then what should we do? We can't just do nothing and let it go... Project Ark must be implemented."

The king, codenamed Missionary, replied with a grim expression, "Of course we can't leave it unattended, but now is not the time to act. Also... bring that coffin nail."

···········
China.

Greater J City.

The Asia branch of the Ghost Riders headquarters.

"Have the King's Organization group moved from Da Dong City to Da Chang City?"

"Huh? It's been dealt with? Or was it a complete annihilation?"

Cao Yanhua listened to his subordinate's report, his expression shifting between light and dark.

Dachang City is the territory of Ghost Eye Yang. The Shangtong Building and the Furen Building Twin Towers are located in Dachang City, so Cao Yanhua has always been relatively at ease about this place.

However, as reassuring as it may seem, this situation is extremely unusual. An entire elite team of ghost riders, along with two kings, were so powerful that even King Chaling of Da Dong City couldn't withstand them and had to temporarily retreat.

Even someone with Ghost Eyes like Yang Jian couldn't possibly survive such an attack.

"In Dachang City... was it the ghost groom Lu Ming who made the move?"

The secretary in charge of delivering the intelligence replied truthfully: "No, Ghost Eye Yang Jian was suddenly attacked without any preparation. Fortunately, a Ghost Master codenamed Da Chang City Dual-Wielding Golden Gun Awei intervened and saved Yang Jian."

"Awei, the dual-wielding golden gunman from Dachang City?"

Upon hearing the name, Cao Yanhua was taken aback.

He wasn't just unfamiliar with this ghost tamer; he had absolutely no recollection of him.

If the other party is a Ghost Tamer within China, Cao Yanhua couldn't possibly be completely unaware of them.

Not to mention that it has already reached this level.

"Could it be that by sheer chance, he accidentally mastered an extremely monstrous ghost and became a top ghost tamer overnight?"

"No, that's not right. That explanation doesn't make sense either. None of the vengeful spirits they've controlled in the past were anything but monstrous. Even top-tier ghost tamers wouldn't be enough to handle an entire team of ghost tamers on their own..."

Upon reflection, another possibility emerged in Cao Yanhua's mind, along with another figure.

His expression changed slightly, but he didn't directly point it out. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy. There's no need to investigate this matter too much, and we don't need to deliberately control whether the public opinion on paranormal websites ferments or not."

"Yes, Minister Cao."

The secretary was highly professional. Even though she didn't understand Cao Yanhua's instructions, she didn't say anything, bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.

···········
On paranormal websites, discussions about this matter have become even more intense.

"Ah Wei, the dual-wielding golden gunman from Dachang City? I'm from Dachang City, how come I've never heard of such a person in the paranormal community?"

"I'm also from Dachang City. I've heard of this Awei before. Our team caught him during a raid. He and a row of suspects were huddled in a corner, looking quite pathetic..."

"Hmm? It's a ladybug?"

"Uh, no, he seemed like a bit of a simpleton. The website said it was for helping people get chicken dinners, but he thought it was for gaming companions and signed up for it. By the time his teammates arrived, the two of them were already in the final circle."

"..."

The rumors on paranormal websites are a mix of truth and falsehood, with many conflicting accounts.

In short, no matter what, the name of Awei, the dual-wielding golden gunman of Dachang City, has been thoroughly established.

On a paranormal website, there's an unofficial ranking of ghost-controlling practitioners in China. On this list, Zhang Wei ranks second, only behind the ghost groom Lu Ming.

Few people have objections to this ranking; most feel it is relatively fair.

After all, wiping out an entire Ghost Tamer squad of the King's organization single-handedly, including two Kings, is something that no ordinary top Ghost Tamer could accomplish.

If it weren't for the overwhelming dominance of Ghost Groom Lu Ming, who was far superior to the other team leaders, Da Chang City's dual-wielding golden gunman Awei could have been ranked number one.

···········
On the other side...

Dachang City.

Inside a luxurious private villa, Zhang Wei played video games while cursing and making friendly inquiries about his teammates' family situations.

Suddenly, with a message notification tone, Zhang Wei's phone lit up.

He casually picked it up and glanced at it, then his eyes widened, ignoring his teammates' insults, and he immediately closed the game.

Zhang Wei opened a website, and after typing in a string of URLs, he began browsing through many posts and a leaderboard.

"Holy crap! Second place nationwide? I never thought I, Ah Wei, would achieve something like this!"

"This ranking list is quite prestigious, unlike those low-level daily competitions... Even Xiao Yang's ranking on the list isn't as high as mine..."

"The only one who surpasses me is Lu Ming, the ghost groom who is ranked first. Tsk, this little Lu really has some skills. I must find time to spar with him in a while."

Zhang Wei got into character very quickly, seemingly without considering how likely he was to become the second in the country, and even started planning to challenge Lu Ming later.

After that, he forgot about playing games and immediately registered an account on a paranormal website with the ID "Dachang City Dual-Wielding Golden Gunner Awei".

Unfortunately, when he clicked to register, he discovered that the ID had already been taken.

So Zhang Wei had no choice but to settle for second best and changed his ID to "Dachang City Dual-Wielding Golden Gun Viagra".

One post asked: "By the way, is this Awei a second-generation ghost who has been deliberately hidden? There used to be a saying that geniuses always leave clues. If a top ghost tamer who ranks second suddenly appears, I think it is very likely that he has obtained a lot of hidden resources."

The poster's speculation was met with numerous agreeing comments. At this point, a user with the ID "Dachang City Dual-Wielding Golden Gunner" replied: "Spreading rumors is illegal! Although many people call me Awei a rich second-generation, no one has ever called me a ghost second-generation. My achievements today are all due to my own hard work and perseverance!"

This half-sincere and half-nonsense speech drew unrestrained laughter from the crowd.

"Hahahaha, look at his ID, it says it's him."

"If I change my ID to Eddie Peng, will I become more handsome?"

"Be confident, bro. You're handsome without any changes."

When Zhang Wei saw the real person appear, but failed to persuade anyone, he became furious and exasperated.

But the more he tried to explain, the more he was made a fool of by the crowd.

Even when Zhang Wei produced his ID card, no one believed him.

Because "Zhang Wei" is one of the most common names in China, there are simply too many people with the same name, so showing an ID card is not enough to prove anything.

···········
The identity he casually made up actually caused such a sensation in the paranormal community, which was something Lu Ming hadn't expected, and of course he didn't care about it.

They defeated two kings, obtained some potentially useful intelligence, and incidentally recovered a supernatural item that might be a piece of the White Demon puzzle.

Lu Ming was fairly satisfied with what he had gained over the past few days.

Next, he will have to attend the funeral at Zhang Dong's haunted house.

This dungeon is definitely one of the most oppressive dungeons in Mysterious Resurrection.

However, Lu Ming had already obtained information about the haunted house instance in advance, and his own strength was also strong enough, so he was fairly confident in clearing the haunted house funeral.

He simply didn't know what the test from Zhang Dong was.

Perhaps this is the most noteworthy aspect of this haunted house visit.

···········
The "Haunted House" story of Zhang Dong is essentially a funeral for Zhang Dong, the head of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

The funeral involved many horrific customs, from the haunted forest at the beginning to the night of the returning soul seven days later, reaching the pinnacle of horror.

The first level is the Ghost Forest.

Every tree here is a real vengeful ghost. Once inside, don't expect to survive by relying on your sense of direction. If you mistakenly believe that the Ghost Forest is safe and stay there for too long, you will be besieged by the ghosts and become a new tree amidst your wails.

This is called a preliminary level because compared to the horrors that follow, it's practically just a warm-up.

From the moment you step into the old house, the real countdown to death begins.

Even the most terrifying and stable ghost tamer will inevitably meet a tragic end if they are completely ignorant of traditional Chinese funeral customs or act recklessly because of their strength.

The first day is the encoffining, which seems simple, but it hides deadly dangers.

In traditional Chinese funeral customs, it is customary for a person to be placed in a coffin on the first day after death; otherwise, it is considered an unlucky omen.

The same is true in the haunted house in Zhangdong.

However, the body being transported was not an ordinary dead person, but the body of Zhang Dong, the leader of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

For those who control ghosts, the afterlife is often more terrifying than life.

Because while alive, one can at least control their own supernatural abilities through consciousness.

However, once a person dies, the vengeful spirit within them is fully revived and becomes completely uncontrollable. Anyone who gets close to them will be attacked by supernatural forces.

On the first day of the haunted house, the encoffining process involves placing Zhang Dong's body into a red coffin.

Lu Ming had learned on the ancient street in Baishui Town that red coffins were auspicious symbols and were often used to place the deceased ghost tamers, while black coffins were specifically used to imprison vengeful ghosts.

The longer Zhang Dong's body lay in the old house, the stronger the eerie wind blew outside, and the louder the wailing became.

Once the final time limit is exceeded, the ghosts outside will break through the suppression and enter the haunted house.

However, Lu Ming also knew that Zhang Dong was not completely dead yet. As long as he had a breath left, the ghosts would not dare to act recklessly. They could only bang on the wooden door and cry mournfully outside, putting on a show.

"Many people didn't notice a detail in the original timeline: when Yang Jian first entered the haunted house, Zhang Dong was sitting in the armchair on the left. But later, Zhang Dong suddenly moved to the armchair on the right, which startled Yang Jian, who was the captain of the enforcement team at the time..."

"Actually, this was because Zhang Dong was still alive at the time. In ancient times, the left was considered superior. After seeing the perfect ending in the future, Zhang Dong gave up his position on the left..."

"Another detail that proves Zhang Dong is not completely dead is that if Zhang Dong were completely dead, no one could get close to his body. Anyone who did would be indiscriminately killed... You know, the Eraser Ghost is no joke."

After the first day of encoffining, it was time for the vigil.

They need the protection of three incense sticks and a coffin to survive.

The third day is called the day of announcing the death. As the name suggests, it is the day when the ghosts are commanded to announce the news of Zhang Dong's death.

For someone like Lu Ming who knew the rules in advance, announcing a death was not difficult; it could even be said to be the easiest day.

Because as long as you carry a red lantern, you will never be attacked by evil spirits.

The fourth day is for mourning.

This is also a very important custom in traditional funerals.

The ghost controller in the haunted house needs to open the coffin while wearing a shroud. The problem on this day is that there are only four shrouds. Without the protection of the shrouds, the rest of the people will have to face the senses of the vengeful ghosts directly.

The fifth day is known as the Ghost Feast.

It's somewhat similar to the supernatural events Lu Ming experienced before, like the ghost feast.

Similarly, when a group of guests are invited to a funeral feast, all of them are actually vengeful ghosts.

However, the rules of the Ghost Banquet are completely different from those of the previous Ghost Feast.

The funeral was held on the sixth day.

Lu Ming and the others were required to escort Zhang Dong's body through the funeral procession.

The person who needs to be most careful on this day is Meng Xiaodong, another of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, who has a certain emotional entanglement with Zhang Dong.

The seventh day, the last day, is the night when the soul returns to its source, also known as the first seven days.

In his youth, Zhang Dong would return here to retrieve his letters.

However, after Zhang Dong retrieves the letter, he transforms into a vengeful ghost and begins to kill nearby living people indiscriminately.

You must arrange four armchairs in a formation, and then escape through the courtyard by grabbing a red balloon...
