We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 261 Sealing Off the Past! A Pursuit Across Time and Space (4k)

Yang Jian's expression shifted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a reboot."

Restart is a special effect that comes with the Ghost Realm. Because it involves the laws of time, the requirements for the Ghost Master are quite high.

Even if a reboot is achieved through special methods, this ability can still be used to enter the ranks of top ghost tamers.

Faced with Meng Xiaodong's inevitable death curse, Lu Ming chose to return his body to its previous state.

Three seconds ago, at that time, Meng Xiaodong's supernatural attack had not yet occurred.

This is equivalent to using a special method to dispel the death curse from before.

When Zhou Deng saw Lu Ming actually make a move for the first time, he gasped and thought to himself, "It's a good thing I didn't offend this guy. He must have some extraordinary qualities to become the head of headquarters."

"To revert one's physical state to a few seconds prior simply because of a supernatural attack is blatant cheating. How are ordinary people like us supposed to compete?"

"If Lu Ming's ability to restart things could be used without limit, then there might actually be a chance he could wear this old woman down to her death today..."

The hope that ignited in everyone's hearts lasted only a few seconds before being extinguished by Meng Xiaodong's next move.

Crunch!

With a thud at the gate of the haunted house.

The wooden door, which had been closed at some point, was mysteriously opened again.

The woman who walked in from outside was still an old woman with a wrinkled face, carrying a flower basket.

She looks exactly like Meng Xiaodong from earlier.

"Are you kidding me? Didn't this old woman come in once? Why is she coming in again?"

With Meng Xiaodong's invasion once again, Lu Ming's body, which had recovered completely, turned into a rotten black again.

The individual reboot could not escape the supernatural attacks from Meng Xiaodong.

With their supernatural understanding, Yang Jian and the others were completely unable to comprehend this bizarre scene before them.

Only Lu Ming knew what had really happened.

As one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, Meng Xiaodong was naturally able to control the laws of time.

Meng Xiaodong existed at every point in time that has passed.

Each of the past Meng Xiaodongs can use their supernatural abilities to invade the present and replace their present selves.

As long as Lu Ming restarts his past, he can't avoid Meng Xiaodong no matter what.

This old woman has lived from the Republic of China era to the present day. At which point in the past did she not exist?
Only in the future, only by going to a future where Meng Xiaodong has already died, can one escape the supernatural attacks from this old man.

But if she can't escape the deadly supernatural attacks, Lu Ming will have no future at all; she will soon die in this haunted house.

"These old monsters from the Republic of China era are indeed terrifying. The seven of them working together can even seal off the entire past and future. No wonder they were able to quell the supernatural events of an entire era. If it weren't for the limitations of lifespan and the inherent limitations of the ghost tamers themselves, it wouldn't be impossible for them to end the era of supernatural events."

"These guys are even more terrifying than I imagined."

Faced with such a desperate situation, anyone would probably have completely lost the will to fight.

But Lu Ming simply sighed and didn't have any other thoughts.

Since a single reboot could not erase the inevitable death curse from Meng Xiaodong, Lu Ming simply stopped paying attention to it and let the terrifying supernatural force continue to erode his body.

Deep within my consciousness, I heard the scraping sound of steel claws rubbing against the wall.

A strange figure wearing a red and green sweater and a felt hat appeared in Lu Ming's mental world with a grotesque laugh.

Freddy the vengeful spirit.

The supernatural elements of Freddy the vengeful spirit and the deceitful ghost complemented and merged with each other, barely preventing Lu Ming's body from being immediately erased.

Although it cannot last for very long, this short period of time is more than enough for fighting the paranormal.

In other words, Lu Ming's current strategy is to ignore the impact Meng Xiaodong has had on him, trade injuries for injuries, and try to take down this old man as quickly as possible.

Once Meng Xiaodong dies, he will naturally be able to use single-unit reboot to repair his body.

In the gray, ghostly world, crimson rain suddenly began to fall.

The red veil on the ghost bride's head fluttered without wind, revealing cold, crisscrossing tears on her face.

A strange, eerie smile appeared on Lu Ming's face.

Cries and laughter mingled amidst the rain of blood.

Blood rains from the sky, ghosts weep in the night.

The rusty Ghost Cleaver at the top of the Blood Umbrella was used passively at this moment.

As Lu Ming raised his hand, a terrifying supernatural force capable of dismembering vengeful ghosts attacked Meng Xiaodong.

If Meng Xiaodong can be successfully dismembered, the supernatural entity within her will temporarily freeze, at which point Meng Xiaodong will be no different from an ordinary person.

Of course, Lu Ming was aware of this as well.

However, this level of achievement is not enough to threaten Meng Xiaodong, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

So he used the rainwater falling on the ground as a mirror, a triggering medium, to make countless broken mirror worlds overlap.

It appeared as if only one slash had been delivered.

But with the added power of the mirror world, countless swords overlapped in that instant, greatly increasing the level of terror.

The crimson, viscous ghost blood originally had a suppressive effect on the supernatural, and the suppression began to take effect the moment it came into contact with Meng Xiaodong.

"What a formidable young man. If it were a one-on-one fight, I might not be your match... No, in a one-on-one fight, I would definitely be dismembered by you, unable to continue my invasion, and lose my supernatural powers."

"Although I am very reluctant, I still have to admit that you are very strong, really very strong... It is a blessing for this era to have a young man like you. If you stop now, I only need to take the corpse out of the coffin."

Lu Ming remained expressionless: "What's the point of all this nonsense? If you're going to do something, just do it already."

Lu Ming was unsure why Meng Xiaodong insisted on taking Zhang Dong's body, but it was most likely related to Zhang Dong's weighing.

In fact, Meng Xiaodong's appearance might be part of the weighing process.

Having said that, Meng Xiaodong stopped trying to persuade him and instead gave a stiff, cold smile that made him look like he wasn't even alive. "Since that's what you're saying, then take a look outside."

The spreading ghost blood did indeed suppress Meng Xiaodong's supernatural abilities.

But following the direction Meng Xiaodong was looking, countless black figures appeared outside the haunted house.

The figures moved incessantly, densely packed, surging in like a tide. Their expressions were numb as they approached the haunted house, seemingly guests attending a ghost banquet.

However, the most chilling thing is that these figures were all hunched over and carrying flower baskets.

Everyone who appeared out of nowhere looked exactly like Meng Xiaodong...

Or rather, they are all Meng Xiaodong who invaded from the past.

Lu Ming didn't count them carefully, but if you had to guess, there were at least several hundred.

If Lu Ming can catch the mirror world and achieve pseudo-infinite superposition, then Meng Xiaodong is an infinite invasion.

Although Meng Xiaodong, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, may not be the most terrifying one, he is certainly the most difficult to kill.

Kill the current Meng Xiaodong, and a new Meng Xiaodong will invade from the past to the present.

She exists at every point in time in the past...

Lu Ming sighed inwardly, "As expected of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, they are indeed not as simple as I imagined. It is no exaggeration to say that these seven ghost tamers have reached the pinnacle of ghost taming. Many times, it is not that others have touched their limits, but that the huge gap limits others' imagination of them..."

Even the captain whom the headquarters was so proud of was probably only considered a promising young man in the eyes of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

Supernatural confrontations often last only a very short moment.

To be honest, Lu Ming hadn't encountered a worthy opponent like Meng Xiaodong in a long time.

On the other side, Li Yang and the others also realized that something was wrong.

"What's going on? Why are there so many densely packed figures outside?"

“Something’s not right. Those figures look exactly like the old woman from before. They’re practically the same person. And I can tell that these figures aren’t just simple clones, because they even have the same aura.”

"What happened today is too surreal. It's hard to imagine that a ghost tamer could do this. What surprised me the most was Lu Ming. He was able to hold his own against such an old monster."

Li Yang glanced at Lu Ming with some concern, then looked at Yang Jian and asked, "What do you mean? Should we go up and help Captain Lu?"

Yang Jian's crimson ghost eyes darted around, the red light around his body already suppressed to a minimum. He shook his head and said, "Let's not cause any more trouble. This level of supernatural confrontation is not something ordinary ghost tamers can handle, not even captain-level ghost tamers."

Besides Yang Jian, Li Yang, and Zhou Deng, there are several other ghost controllers in the haunted house.

Even Yang Jian couldn't comprehend the supernatural level, let alone these people.

However, just from listening to Yang Jian and Li Yang's conversation, they could roughly guess just how terrifying the two beings in front of them were.

The supernatural confrontation between Lu Ming and Meng Xiaodong, where even a single fatal curse could be unbearable for either of them.

···········
In a somewhat tense situation.

Lu Ming glanced at the hundreds of Meng Xiaodong figures approaching from outside the haunted house, his expression shifting slightly.

Just as Meng Xiaodong said, with the supernatural elements such as ghost blood, blood umbrella, mirror world, and ghost bride combined, he was very confident that he could kill Meng Xiaodong in a one-on-one fight.

But at this moment, there are several hundred Meng Xiaodongs appearing outside the haunted house, and with the help of this supernatural method of invading from the past to the present, the number of Meng Xiaodongs seems to be able to continue to increase indefinitely.

Judging from the current situation, Lu Ming is at a disadvantage no matter what.

He was also carrying a death curse from Meng Xiaodong, and he was only able to survive thanks to the supernatural powers of the vengeful spirit Freddy and the liar ghost.

Once Lu Ming tries to use the black film unit to restart and repair himself, he will be hunted down by Meng Xiaodong across time and space, as if his past has been blocked.

"If I remember correctly, if Meng Xiaodong wants to invade from the past to the present, he must use living people as a medium, which is a limitation... But how could there be so many living people in the desolate wilderness near the haunted house?"

"The only explanation is that Meng Xiaodong's current state is very special. She cannot be considered a normal ghost controller. Therefore, the medium through which she triggers supernatural phenomena has also changed. She doesn't even need a living person as a medium; a dead person will suffice."

With this in mind, Lu Ming roughly understood that he could not restrict Meng Xiaodong's actions by focusing on the media.

"This is the only way."

With a thought, Lu Ming took out a dilapidated projector from the gray, ghostly world.

The projector looked old, seemingly a product of the last century. This supernatural item was something Lu Ming had obtained by chance while handling paranormal events at an exorcism club in an island nation.

The most crucial part of this projector is the black film, so Lu Ming also took out the black film that was originally located in the Ghost Well this time.

creak!creak!
Lu Ming cranked the handle of the black projector, which emitted a dry, harsh sound, as if it had malfunctioned.

If an ordinary person who cannot control a vengeful spirit tries to crank the projector handle, he will get stuck and be completely unable to use this supernatural object.

Countless white spots were projected onto the wall, and through a series of arrangements, a new image appeared on the wall.

The scene shows only a pale and cold-faced young man dressed in white mourning clothes, his eyes lifeless, as if he has lost all vitality.

The strangest thing is that the entire image has lost its original colors, leaving only black and white, which makes the young man in the image look like he is having his funeral portrait taken.

puff!

Suddenly, as if something was wrong, the entire gray-white screen flickered on and off.

The portrait went from clear to blurry, and then from blurry to clear again.

Suddenly, another figure appeared on the portrait.

It was an old woman with a hunched back, a wrinkled face, and a flower basket in her hand.

Meng Xiaodong, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China!

"What are you talking about? What is Lu Ming doing? Why is there an extra person in the projection? And that person happens to be this incredibly strange old woman."

"Was this Captain Lu's initiative? Taking a funeral photo with an old woman whose identity is unknown is an ominous sign no matter how you look at it."

Not only Yang Jian and Li Yang, but even Meng Xiaodong himself paused for a moment upon seeing this scene. Hundreds of Meng Xiaodongs looked up at Lu Ming at the same time, wondering what this powerful young man was up to.

"Is it some kind of curse to have me appear in that portrait?"

"Unfortunately, ordinary supernatural attacks are ineffective against me; no matter how much he tries, it's all in vain."
