Chapter 256 Lu Ming's Intimidating Power Invades Meng Xiaodong!
Chapter 256 Lu Ming's Intimidating Power Invades Meng Xiaodong! (4k)
The man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He looked very young, but he exuded a sharpness that was beyond his years, making him appear quite arrogant.
What's most terrifying is the chilling aura emanating from him; he doesn't seem like a normal living person, but rather like a real vengeful ghost.
"They actually chose to drive a bus? That's interesting."
He wasn't the only one surprised by Lu Ming's actions.
When the other ghost riders on the bus first saw Lu Ming attempting to drive the ghost bus, they all showed expressions of shock and incomprehension.
Although Lu Ming, the ghost groom, is a well-known figure in the paranormal community, and no one doubts that he is the number one person in the paranormal community today, driving a ghost bus is still too risky.
No one has ever tried to do this before.
It's no exaggeration to say that Lu Ming was courting death.
"This guy must be crazy... Even if he can deal with most of the vengeful ghosts, the Ghost Bus is no ordinary ghost. As far as we know, even the most terrifying vengeful ghosts will be suppressed by the Ghost Bus after boarding."
"It wouldn't be wrong to call this bus a small haunted place."
That's what they thought, but most of the ghost tamers didn't say anything.
They weren't stupid; they knew that even if they spoke up, it wouldn't make any difference and would only offend the ghost groom, Lu Ming.
With that in mind, all they could do was stare nervously at Lu Ming, silently praying that his actions wouldn't affect anyone else.
However, when Lu Ming increased the level of terror, raising his supernatural power to a terrifying degree, and officially and successfully took over the ghost bus and became its driver, these ghost tamers felt their worldviews were overturned.
Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. No matter how much the paranormal websites praised Lu Ming before, it was not as shocking as seeing him with your own eyes.
"Are you kidding me?"
"So this bus can actually be controlled by a person? I originally thought that only real vengeful ghosts could control this level of supernatural phenomenon..."
"Those rumors are true. This Lu Ming can no longer be considered a normal human being in some ways, nor even a ghost tamer. He is a true ghost, a vengeful ghost with his own thoughts..."
The theory of a vengeful ghost with its own thoughts sounds insane.
But in Lu Ming's case, this explanation is the most reasonable.
His thoughts and consciousness seemed to be immune to supernatural influences, and he didn't have to worry that using supernatural methods would exacerbate the resurgence of the vengeful spirits within him.
At this moment, the young man who had just put on the human skin mask suddenly stood up and spoke:
"Lu Ming, now that you've taken over this bus, could you try driving it directly between the supernatural realm and reality without stopping at the next stop?"
"This shouldn't affect your original plan, but it can reduce most of the risks that ghost riders might encounter."
Lu Ming kept his hands on the old steering wheel, not saying a word, and didn't even glance at the ghost tamer out of the corner of his eye.
The moment he got on the bus, he recognized the guy.
It was Zhou Deng.
In the original timeline, a large part of the reason why Yang Jian encountered so many terrible dangers in the haunted house was because of Zhou Deng.
Although this guy isn't inherently bad and his performance in the national war was quite impressive, his only flaw is that he's not very honest and tries to steal anything he sees.
If this kind of behavior were done in public, at most the person would be arrested and detained in jail for a couple of days.
However, in paranormal events, such petty theft can very likely lead to irreparable and serious consequences.
Therefore, Lu Ming ignored Zhou Deng at this moment, after all, he had his own ideas and did not need others to remind him.
Although Lu Ming didn't speak, Li Yang responded on his behalf: "Who are you? It's none of your business how our captain does things."
Wearing a human skin mask, Zhou Deng said expressionlessly, "There are too many people you don't know. I'm just one of them. Although I didn't know them before, I can say I know them now."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Deng. I am very familiar with Cao Yanhua from headquarters. I didn't appear at the team leader meeting, otherwise you might have heard of my name."
The man, who identified himself as Zhou Deng, revealed a lot of information in just a few words.
His subtext implied that he was a team leader at headquarters and had a close relationship with Cao Yanhua.
Such a status is quite intimidating even within the entire paranormal community.
But Li Yang sneered disdainfully, "You think you can intimidate us just by being the captain and having Cao Yanhua's name? I can only tell you this: even the deputy minister of headquarters wouldn't dare to disobey our Captain Lu."
But as soon as Li Yang finished speaking, he keenly noticed that the electronic board in the middle of the bus flickered, and the number on it changed from "13" to "14".
Based on the previously summarized pattern, this means that the number of vengeful ghosts on this bus has increased by one.
But ghosts don't appear out of thin air.
This bus didn't stop at the station, it didn't even stop. Why is there an extra ghost on the bus?
"Could it be that a ghost tamer died just now, and the vengeful spirit within him revived, resulting in an extra real vengeful spirit on the bus?"
Li Yang had this idea in his mind, but it was still not very reliable.
Most of the ghost riders here board the bus in order to use its supernatural power to suppress the vengeful spirits that are about to awaken within them.
In this situation, since there is no conflict between the ghost tamers, it is difficult for a vengeful ghost to resurrect.
It wasn't until Li Yang noticed the change in Zhou Deng's aura that he gradually understood.
"Zhou Deng is this newly added ghost. After he put on that human skin mask, he underwent some strange change. His aura became cold and terrifying, and he became a real ghost, or rather, a ghost tamer with a high degree of alienation."
Having figured this out, Li Yang did not feel intimidated by Zhou Deng because of his identity and supernatural abilities. Instead, he questioned him instead:
"Zhou Deng, are you sure you've thought this through? Are you going to take action against Captain Lu? Although Captain Lu isn't from headquarters, he's nominally the captain. If you dare to lay a hand on him, don't even talk about whether you'll survive. Even Cao Yanhua won't speak up for you."
However, Zhou Deng, wearing a human skin mask, shook his head and revealed a stiff, cold smile: "I never thought of taking action against Captain Lu. On the contrary, Captain Lu has always been someone I respect very much."
He stood up, exuding a heavy, deathly aura. Even as the bus jolted and bounced, Zhou Deng remained firmly in place.
Zhou Deng looked around and said to the other Ghost Riders on the bus, "Now that Captain Lu has taken over this bus, we naturally have to obey his orders. However... I hope Captain Lu can avoid stopping at bus stops. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
After he finished speaking, even Lu Ming, who had remained expressionless, couldn't help but glance at him slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Zhou Deng's words seemed to be helping him, helping him to subdue the ghost-controlling people on the bus.
But in reality, they did use a very clever method to put him on the defensive, so that Lu Ming wouldn't refuse their proposal, and even pulled all the ghost riders in the carriage to the opposite side of Lu Ming.
In this perilous situation, facing so many ghost tamers simultaneously, even the renowned Ghost Bridegroom Lu Ming would likely have to give way.
But this was just Zhou Deng's idea.
After understanding this, Lu Ming did not do as Zhou Deng said, but continued to follow his own pace.
When they arrived at the next stop, which was an old and deserted village, Lu Ming controlled the ghost bus and slowly brought it to a stop by the roadside.
An elderly woman with a hunched back and a wrinkled face, carrying a flower basket, stood by the roadside waiting for a bus.
After the car door opened, she carried the flower basket and got into the car step by step.
The other ghost riders in the car, including Zhou Deng, were all stunned.
They hadn't expected that even after going this far, Lu Ming still stopped the car.
The number on the black sign changed again, from "14" to "15", which means that the old woman who got on the bus was a real ghost.
Lu Ming could barely make out the old woman's figure with the help of the stained rearview mirror. He thought to himself, "This is Meng Xiaodong, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China. It's about Zhang Dong's funeral, so Meng Xiaodong has indeed come."
As one of the seven elders of the Republic of China, Meng Xiaodong possesses supernatural abilities that have been invading the past and present.
Even the scapegoat dolls were her doing.
Therefore, she is definitely one of the most difficult ghost tamers to kill.
"Lu Ming, what do you mean by this? You clearly have the ability to control this ghost bus, so why did you stop it at the roadside stop and let the evil spirit board the bus?"
Upon witnessing this scene, one of the ghost tamers finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to question Lu Ming.
If it weren't for Zhou Deng's instigation, he might have just been angry but dared not speak out.
But now, Lu Ming's behavior makes him feel extremely unfair.
Lu Ming did not explain why he did this.
He had thought of what Zhou Deng said, but he was only acting as the driver of the ghost bus, and could only control the bus to a certain extent. He could not completely defy the rules of the bus itself.
This bus has existed since its inception, and its purpose is to send vengeful spirits back to where they belong.
If Lu Ming deliberately doesn't stop at the station, it's hard to say whether it will trigger even more terrifying and supernatural events, making the already erratic ghost bus even more uncontrollable.
Of course, Lu Ming only thought about these things in his mind and would not actually explain them to these ghost tamers.
"you······"
Seeing that Lu Ming remained silent, the ghost tamer who had spoken earlier became even more enthusiastic.
In his view, Lu Ming had realized that the other ghost tamers were on his side, which was why he had reservations.
But before he could even utter a word, a crimson light flashed before his eyes.
"They have no fear of anything."
Lu Ming's voice was icy cold, as indifferent as if he were talking to a dead man.
The ghost tamer felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, then felt as if his body had been violently struck by something, sending him flying and crashing outside the bus.
What many people didn't notice was that the moment this ghost tamer flew away, all the supernatural elements on his body were dismembered, meaning that he was now just an ordinary person.
Being thrown out of a moving bus like that, it looks like certain death.
Not to mention that outside the bus at this moment is some unknown haunted place, where countless terrifying ghosts roam.
"..."
"The gap is still too large; there's simply no way anyone could be a match for Lu Ming..."
"The problem now is no longer whether anyone can defeat Lu Ming. His overwhelming strength means that even if we all joined forces, we wouldn't be enough to kill him. In that case, we might as well just listen to his arrangements."
···········
Lu Ming remained seated in the driver's seat, his hands never leaving the steering wheel.
It was as if his intimidating gesture just now was something he did casually.
Zhou Deng, who had first raised the issue, fell silent, tore off the eerie human skin mask from his face, and returned to his seat.
Zhou Deng wasn't stupid; he knew perfectly well that in this situation, saying nothing was the best option.
If Lu Ming held a grudge, he would have eliminated him immediately, and even if he wore that human skin mask, he would have no chance to resist.
"That red umbrella the ghost groom is carrying is quite beautiful; it makes you want to steal it..."
Zhou Deng couldn't help but glance at the blood-stained umbrella in Lu Ming's hand.
However, he had the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.
He sent Zhou Deng to steal other supernatural items. If he set his sights on something, he would take it without hesitation.
He didn't dare touch Lu Ming's things, at most he would just fantasize about them.
···········
After an unknown amount of time, the ghost bus slowly came to a stop amidst the bumps and jolting, and the doors were opened with a screeching sound.
Outside, there was a strange old forest. The sky was gloomy and dark. Only a winding path could be vaguely seen passing through the old forest and leading to an old, haunted house.
Two red lanterns hung in front of the haunted house.
This place is Zhang Dong's haunted house, and there is also the old forest outside the haunted house.
According to the pattern Lu Ming had previously summarized, the red lanterns hanging outside the haunted house represent protection for all living beings, and there is no danger inside the haunted house for the time being.
But if the red lanterns turn into white lanterns, it means that the dead are being mourned, and a hundred ghosts are walking around at night, which is extremely dangerous.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
A light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the oppressive, gloomy sky.
This rainwater was extremely abnormal, tainted by the supernatural, and carried a foul, fishy odor.
The most terrifying thing was that the ghost bus broke down and stalled at this moment.
Without the protection of the supernatural, the rain poured down through the windows and doors, pounding into the bus and seemingly about to affect the other passengers.
