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

Chapter 270 Zhang Dong, who did not die, bids a final farewell that transcends eras! (4k)

Just as Lu Ming had predicted, after ending that "unreal" world, the weighing by those old guys from the Republic of China ended, and the dangers that followed were all under Lu Ming's control and passed without incident.

The seventh day of the haunted house.

This is the last day of the funeral.

The ghost tamer attending this funeral is required to send out envelopes from the post office on this day.

As time goes by, the horror of the haunted house is gradually fading, as if it is moving towards becoming a normal old house.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

However, it soon approached midnight.

Once midnight strikes, no one knows what unpredictable things might happen.

···········
When all the hands on the clock coincided and pointed to twelve, the haunted house remained normal.

"Crench!"

With a crisp sound, the old wooden door was opened. Although the sound wasn't loud, it was exceptionally clear because the haunted house was so quiet.

The tense crowd all looked in the direction from which the sound came.

That's the direction of the back hall.

Unlike the previous scene where Meng Xiaodong broke in, this time it was the back door of the haunted house that was opened.

"Both the back and front doors were closed and bolted shut, making them impossible to open easily."

"It seems... the recipient has arrived."

The task on the last day of the funeral sounds simple: just hand the envelope to the messenger.

But only Lu Ming knew that it wasn't as simple as he imagined.

Shortly after the door creaked open, it creaked shut, and was even bolted shut.

Tatata!
Tatata!
Footsteps echoed in the empty lobby of the haunted house, but to everyone's dismay, they could only hear the sound of the door opening and footsteps, but could not see a single person.

There was no recipient, not even a trace of a vengeful ghost.

This is an incomprehensible paranormal phenomenon.

Everyone present was a ghost controller with experience in dealing with paranormal events. They were certain that what they were experiencing was not a hallucination, but that there really was someone walking towards them.

But you just can't see where this person is.

This situation was exactly what Lu Ming had anticipated. He didn't panic, but instead directly activated the fifth layer of the Ghost Domain, attempting to break the boundary between the supernatural and reality and see the unseen recipient.

Even with the activation of five layers of ghost domains, it was still to no avail; nothing existed.

Tatata!
Everyone could clearly hear the footsteps reaching the center of the hall and continuing to move towards the exit.

"Oh no! If the recipient leaves like this, our delivery mission will be considered a failure, and the outcome will inevitably be disastrous..."

Some people had already foreseen the consequences of not stopping the recipient.

Even if they understood this, they were powerless to do anything about it.

Because the recipient is not a particularly terrifying ghost, and has not even shown any danger yet.

The only difference between him and a normal recipient is that he cannot be seen.

"If you can't see it, can you touch it?"

At this point, Zhou Deng raised his doubts, or rather, a conjecture.

He was quite bold; the idea had barely taken shape in his mind before he immediately put it into practice.

Zhou Deng put the eerie human skin mask on his face, and then his aura became ferocious and terrifying, not like a normal living person at all, but like a real vengeful ghost.

After putting on the human skin mask, Zhou Deng was no longer so likely to die in supernatural events.

He rushed forward and fumbled around in the direction of the sound, but all he managed to grab was empty air.

"It's not that simple after all. It's invisible and intangible. How are we supposed to get the envelope to him?"

Time ticked by, and as the sound drew ever closer to the front door, the hearts of all the ghost tamers were in their throats.

They certainly trusted Lu Ming; with his strength, there were very few ghosts he couldn't handle.

However, delivering the envelope to this ghost requires more than just strength.

What should you do about something that you can't see or touch?
Solving this problem requires understanding certain patterns.

Moreover, there is only one chance, and the time is far too short. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything.

"Li Yang, bring me those four armchairs."

"Yes, Captain."

Upon receiving the instruction, Li Yang immediately and without hesitation took out four old-fashioned armchairs.

These were all things that Lu Ming had arranged for him to do beforehand.

What Lu Ming admired most about Li Yang's personality was that he never talked nonsense and did whatever he was asked to do.

This may seem like a foolish or indecisive act, but in reality, it can save Pain a lot of trouble.

What Lu Ming fears most is not incompetent teammates, but rather stupid teammates who know nothing but are self-righteous.

"Place these four chairs together, and surround the unseen recipient in the middle of the chairs."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian and the others also began to lend a hand.

Each of them moved a black armchair and quickly moved closer to one side of the hall.

The four chairs quickly came together, trying to block an unseen person and prevent them from leaving.

But as they approached, the unseen recipient quickened his pace, his hurried footsteps echoing throughout the lobby.

The messenger seemed to realize something and didn't want to be left behind, so he quickened his pace.

boom!
The armchair that one of the ghost tamers was carrying shook violently, causing the man's hand to slip away.

"It failed?"

"No, it's impossible to fail. The four grand chairs can reveal the true form of the ghost; this has been proven."

"Stay calm, everyone be mindful of your direction."

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming appeared behind the ghost tamer and helped him up.

But because of the accident just now, the recipient still went out.

Someone asked with a worried expression, "Captain Lu, what should we do next?"

"Don't worry, the haunted house isn't that big. If we keep chasing, we still have a chance to find the recipient."

Sure enough, the group carried heavy, old armchairs to the courtyard and placed them in the courtyard, blocking the way in all four directions.

"With so many of us here, there shouldn't be any mistakes this time." The ghost tamer was proven wrong as soon as he made his promise.

A footstep sound came from the side, but instead of heading towards the main entrance, it went towards the right-hand corridor.

"Don't rush. The more this happens, the calmer you need to be, otherwise you're more likely to make mistakes."

It was quite a battle of wits and courage with that unseen ghost.

Finally, the four chairs simultaneously pinned down something that looked like a corpse.

Upon sensing this thing, Lu Ming's expression shifted slightly, and he said, "We've trapped him. Now all we need to do is make him sit down."

"Sit down? How do you expect to make a ghost sit down? That's impossible. Let alone using violence, any direct contact with the supernatural carries enormous risks. Besides, we can't see or touch this ghost at all."

Before the rebuttal could even finish, Lu Ming didn't argue back, but simply waved his hand casually and said, "Sit down."

The next moment, with a creak, the old black armchair finally made a sound, as if something very heavy had been placed on it.

"It's not enough to just make him sit down; I have to sit down with him, and in the same chair, in order to see the ghost."

Surprisingly, the eerie "shadow" was very obedient to commands, seemingly having no intention of disobeying Lu Ming's wishes.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that Zhang Dong has indeed finished weighing himself, and he appears quite satisfied with the result.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have opened a back door to reduce the difficulty of the seventh day.

This can be considered as Zhang Dong's help to me, and also as a kind of compensation.

As Lu Ming looked at the recipient in front of him, his figure gradually became clearer and took on a general outline.

The most astonishing thing is that his face looks exactly like that of Grandpa Zhang Dong when he was young!
During a funeral procession on a previous day, all the ghost tamers present had seen the five haunted graves in the Ghost Forest.

The recipient's face now looks exactly like the portrait on one of the graves.

Zhang Dong in his youth.

···········
What no one knew was that on the seventh day of the so-called haunted house, the person who came to collect the letter was none other than the young Master Zhang Dong.

The reason it cannot be seen or touched is not because of some special supernatural means, but because the recipient does not exist in the present; he exists in the past.

People from the past have come to the present, and naturally they cannot be touched by people in the present, unless some very special means are used.

Because he knew a lot of information beforehand, Lu Ming did not show too much surprise even when he saw this strange scene.

Without hesitation, he handed over the envelope.

Lu Ming thought to himself, "If things had gone according to plan, the young Zhang Dong probably wouldn't have wanted to accept this letter. He could see the letter and he could see us, but for some reason, he just wouldn't have wanted to take it."

"No matter what he thinks today, he has to get this letter whether he wants it or not."

Once this letter is sent out, the haunted house scenario will be completely over.

Lu Ming certainly wouldn't let his efforts go to waste at this crucial moment.

Even he didn't expect that the moment he handed over the red envelope, the young Zhang Dong smiled and accepted the letter.

This red letter seemed to carry some kind of terrifying supernatural power, and strange changes began to occur in Zhang Dong's body.

His body was aging, as if time was rapidly passing over him; wrinkles began to appear on his skin, along with signs of rigor mortis, and his hair began to fall out sparsely, leaving very little...

What was once a handsome man now resembled an old, rotting corpse, a truly gruesome sight.

In the blink of an eye, the young Zhang Dong disappeared, replaced by a familiar old man.

This face was familiar not only to Lu Ming, but also to the other ghost tamers present.

It was the same corpse that had been placed in the lobby at the very beginning.

The body had already been placed in a coffin, so why did it suddenly appear here?
It's simply unbelievable and incomprehensible.

"Oh no, this old man is completely dead, and the vengeful spirit within him is gradually reviving."

The vengeful spirit within Zhang Dong's body has revived; it's hard to imagine how terrifying that is.

The supernatural phenomena around him began to be indiscriminately erased.

Even the road leading to the Ghost Post Office, which had only recently appeared, was rapidly disappearing, as if it had been completely erased.

"What's going on? Why did this sudden anomaly occur?"

Yang Jian's ghost eyes opened uncontrollably and then began to dart around restlessly.

He felt very uneasy; he had a premonition that something terrible was about to happen.

"The seventh day after death is also known as the night of the return of the soul. For us ghost tamers, the so-called return of the soul naturally refers to the resurrection of the vengeful ghost."

The difference from the original timeline is that Lu Ming did not bring the ordinary person named Yang Xiaohua with him, nor did he bring the red balloon that could carry living people into the sky.

The current situation, no matter how you look at it, is a certain death.

After looking around, Lu Ming made a rough decision in his mind.

Lu Ming now needs to get everyone else into his fifth-level ghost domain.

Then he led everyone to escape from the haunted house.

This place is filled with danger on all sides. Not to mention the terrifying ghost forest, even the surrounding walls are completely impenetrable and not the kind that can be destroyed at will.

The only connection to the outside world is the courtyard in the middle of the yard.

Lu Ming planned to use Ye Zhen and the Ghost Domain to make himself levitate in the air and escape with everyone.

The idea is wonderful, but in practice, there are too many difficulties to overcome.

First and foremost, we need to be wary of Zhang Dong, whose evil spirits have been resurrected.

He would indiscriminately erase any supernatural phenomena around him.

This erasure does not mean killing the ghost directly.

Ghosts cannot be killed; this is one of the fundamental ironclad rules of the mysterious resurrected world.

Zhang Dong's ability, to put it another way, is to render ghosts into a state of malfunction, or even to keep them in a state of malfunction for an extended period of time.

If Lu Ming's ghost painting were erased by Zhang Dong at this moment, they would all fall back down from the courtyard and continue to be affected by Zhang Dong's supernatural influence.

"I can't worry about anything else, I have no choice but to take the risk."

Just as this thought arose in Lu Ming's mind, he suddenly noticed a glimmer of light appearing in Zhang Dong's eyes, which had become extremely cloudy.

His flesh was rotting all over, but that didn't stop him from showing the same smile as the young Zhang Dong.

However, the smile looked particularly stiff and strange.

Then, Zhang Dong raised his incomplete right hand and waved gently at Lu Ming, as if saying goodbye.

"This is... Zhang Dongliu's backup plan?"
