Chapter 272 Eight-person sedan chair, a proper marriage! The instantaneous end of the journey
Chapter 272 A Grand Wedding with Eight Bearers! The Driving Experience Ends in an Instant (4k)
Although he had made up his mind to go to headquarters, Lu Ming did not take immediate action.
This time, it was Wang Xiaoming and Qin Lao who wanted to see him. However, since Cao Yanhua did not say that the matter was urgent, it means that Qin Lao's physical condition at headquarters is not too bad. At least he should be able to survive this period of time.
Moreover, this time it was Elder Qin who wanted to see him, not the other way around, so Lu Ming had no need to rush over so eagerly.
"I'll go to headquarters again when I'm in the mood."
Lu Ming stayed in Dachang City for the past few days, and nothing unusual happened, so he was able to relax for a while.
Now that we've got our wedding home, the wedding plan is almost complete. All we need to do is wait for the right opportunity to officially hold the wedding.
Last time in that unreal world, the fully-formed Red and White Duo wiped out the Seven Elders of the Republic of China. This result made Lu Ming feel very excited and full of anticipation.
However, this also indirectly illustrates the perilous nature of that wedding.
Lu Ming would not easily start the wedding if he could not make thorough preparations.
"The specific time will be set after the next seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon ends."
Fortunately, Lu Ming doesn't have much time left in the world of divine resurrection.
The next seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon will be Lu Ming's last challenge of a seven-star dungeon.
Once the conditions for clearing the level three times are met, Lu Ming will become the legendary seventh-tier challenger and learn the greatest secret behind the God Space.
Presumably, Lu Ming's strength will be further enhanced at that time.
"Based on previous experience, if it's just a seven-star difficulty horror movie instance, it's still within my capabilities. There's no need to complete the wedding before participating in the final challenge."
Over the past few days, Lu Ming has figured out his plans for the future.
Meanwhile, he heard about a strange incident that had occurred in the paranormal community of Dachang City.
In the past few days, many people have witnessed a group of people dressed in strange clothes carrying a sedan chair, passing through various parts of Dachang City.
As they moved, they made strange noises.
Several brave ordinary people approached the wedding procession, only to become cold corpses, their faces contorted with grief and pain, cold tear stains left on their faces that had not been wiped away.
Soon, this strange incident was classified as a paranormal event, with its level of terror temporarily set at B, and was handed over to the person in charge of Dachang City, Ghost Eye Yang Jian, to handle.
"Although it has only been classified as Grade B for the time being, nothing is certain. Everything about this paranormal event is unknown... The classification may not be accurate, so we still cannot let our guard down."
While serving as the head of Dachang City, Yang Jian also shouldered the responsibilities of a military commander. Although not much time had passed, he had already transformed from a high school student who experienced paranormal events for the first time into a veteran in the paranormal community.
Therefore, your analysis of the problem is quite thorough; you are not as reckless as other ghost tamers.
After all, none of the paranormal events that have occurred in Dachang City are simple.
From the initial incident of the ghost knocking on the door at Dachang No. 7 Middle School, to the later incident of the ghost painting passing by, as well as the tall black shadow being stared at under Hongfa Temple and the coffin nails.
Even Lu Ming, who is now undoubtedly the number one person in the paranormal field, came from Dachang City.
It can be said that Dachang City never engages in low-level gambling.
When it comes to the ghost groom Lu Ming, his reaction upon hearing the news is completely different from Yang Jian's.
"Several people dressed in strange clothes are carrying a sedan chair?"
"And the deceased's facial expression was very sad? With tears in their eyes?"
"This sounds more and more like one of the puzzle pieces of the Red Demon's puzzle, the Ghost Wedding Sedan Chair?"
Lu Ming had never actually seen a ghost wedding sedan chair in reality, and he didn't even know what it was used for or whether it even existed.
Unexpectedly, clues related to it have suddenly appeared.
Given this, and knowing Lu Ming's personality, he certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by; he had to go and see for himself no matter what.
If not, there is no loss.
"If I remember correctly, back in the exorcism club in the island nation, Mishima used that paranormal projector to foresee my future. In the image, I was holding the hand of a ghost bride, and there was also a palanquin in the image... At that time, in the lower right corner of the image, there was a rotten object made of wood, which seemed to be the edge of a palanquin."
Yang Jian was surprised to learn that Lu Ming was going to handle the incident codenamed "Ghost Sedan Chair".
He felt that Lu Ming had changed a lot compared to before; at least the Lu Ming of the past would never have interfered in these external matters.
Back at headquarters, after hearing that Lu Ming had officially taken over the case of the paranormal incident, the higher-ups all breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lu Ming handles it, the situation is basically settled.
Cao Yanhua considered that Lu Ming might have his own plans and did not want outsiders to interfere, so he specifically ordered the other ghost controllers in Dachang City not to get involved in this supernatural event.
···········
After observing the locations mentioned in the rumors for three consecutive days, Lu Ming finally encountered a supernatural event codenamed "Ghost Carriage" late one night.
He was originally on a highway in the suburbs of Dachang City, but at some point, a strange fog began to spread around him. Through the fog, the scene in front of Lu Ming was no longer a highway, but a graveyard that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Although it's called a cemetery, there's actually only one solitary grave.
The grave didn't even have a tombstone, which made it seem very eerie.
Any ghost-tamer with even a little experience in the supernatural can roughly tell from the scene before them that they have encountered a ghost.
Moreover, that hazy mist was not simple; it not only contained some kind of curse, but was even a kind of ghost realm itself.
Upon witnessing this scene, most demon tamers would likely already be plotting their escape.
But Lu Ming remained unmoved, seemingly not taking the ghost seriously at all, and simply stood there, quietly waiting for what would happen next.
Eight tall figures emerged vaguely from the mist.
Each figure was nearly two meters tall, and from an ordinary person's perspective, they looked like they were walking on stilts, creating a strong sense of oppression.
Moreover, there were eight people dressed in dark blue mandarin jackets, their movements stiff and strange, and they were carrying an old and odd sedan chair together, slowly walking towards the direction where Lu Ming was.
Their faces were as pale as paper, and even through the fog, one could sense that they had lost all vitality and were not normal living people.
The reason this sedan chair is considered strange is that although it is clearly a wedding sedan chair, the red cloth covering it is very old, like a rag, and it smells like a corpse, as if it were used for the dead.
The wooden planks used to assemble the wedding sedan chair were also very casual; a gust of wind would make the sedan chair creak and groan.
It gives the impression that no one is sitting inside, which is why the wedding sedan chair is so light.
What made Lu Ming's heart tremble the most was the design of the sedan chair. The sedan chair was nailed shut on all sides with rusty iron nails, with no doors. Just looking at it from an outsider's perspective, one felt an immense sense of oppression, and it was hard to imagine what was sitting inside.
"A grand wedding with eight sedan chair bearers, a formal marriage ceremony, three letters and six betrothal gifts, a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe... This wedding should have been a joyous occasion, but it was turned into a funeral."
Combined with the intermittent, faint crying sounds, Lu Ming thought of that sentence from before.
Viewed horizontally, it resembles a coffin; viewed vertically, it resembles a sedan chair. The official felt both joy and sorrow.
"There's basically no doubt about it, this sedan chair is the wedding sedan chair I've been looking for."
In the blink of an eye, the eight sedan chair bearers and the ghost wedding sedan chair approached Lu Ming.
According to previously circulated information, this ghost has two patterns of killing.
One way is that getting close means certain death, and the other way is that hearing a cry means certain death.
Now it seems that, in addition to these two inevitable rules of death, the pervasive fog was also extremely unusual.
"Judging from the level of terror it has shown so far, this paranormal event is definitely not just B-level, it is at least A-level, or even higher than A-level."
Lu Ming quickly gave his own assessment.
Even knowing this, he still showed no intention of dodging, seemingly determined to withstand the ghost's inevitable death curse.
If any other ghost tamer witnessed this scene, they would definitely shout that he was insane.
Because in the supernatural world, even the most skilled ghost controllers have incredibly fragile lifespans.
Simply put, apart from freaks like Ye Zhen, the rest are all high-attack but low-defense, and they might even hurt themselves when attacking others.
Only complete novices and true veterans would dare to do something as foolish as stubbornly resisting a death curse.
Staring intently at the enclosed wedding sedan chair, Lu Ming's face began to contort dramatically, revealing a sinister and eerie smile.
This isn't because he's a pervert; he's using his fatal curse, the Ghostly Smile.
To withstand the eerie crying, the only way is to laugh.
Sure enough, as expected, the crying that had been coming from somewhere was gradually suppressed shortly after the laughter started.
After all, this supernatural event codenamed "Ghost Sedan Chair" is just one piece of the puzzle of the Red and White Duo, and in terms of terror, it is naturally not as terrifying as the ghost groom Lu Ming.
To deal with the ghost in front of him, Lu Ming didn't even let the ghost bride appear.
Because of the numerous connections between this wedding sedan chair and the ghost bride, Lu Ming was unsure whether the sedan chair would affect the bride's stability.
Just to be on the safe side, he planned to handle the ghost wedding sedan incident himself.
After suppressing his pitiful cries, Lu Ming turned his gaze back to the eight figures carrying the sedan chair.
He then realized that the eight sedan chair carriers were not real "people," not even dead people, but just eight lifelike paper figures.
The lifelike quality of these paper figures even surpasses that of Liu San, one of the headquarters captains.
"Dotting the eyes of paper figures is a major taboo for paper craft shops... I wonder what Liu San would think if he saw these paper sedan chair carriers."
After realizing this, Lu Ming understood that these eight paper figures were not the main part of the wedding sedan chair, but might even be just a few supernatural derivatives.
The really crucial part was the sedan chair they were carrying.
"Compared to the ghosts in Yang Jian's Ghost Shadow, which must be controlled, this ghost is more like a supernatural object."
"Perhaps I don't need to completely master it, but only suppress it temporarily and use it when the time is right."
Thinking of this, with a splashing sound of water, a blood-red umbrella broke the boundary between the supernatural and reality, emerging from a pool of blood on the ground and appearing eerily in Lu Ming's hand.
This blood umbrella incorporates multiple supernatural elements and is a unique supernatural item belonging to Lu Ming. Even if other ghost tamers obtain it, they would not be able to master how to use it.
The tip of this umbrella alone contains the dismembering supernatural power of a Japanese demon cleaver. Combined with the superimposed effect of the mirror world, a single slash would be enough to kill even a real ghost, leaving it no choice but to be obediently dismembered.
“If a complete vengeful ghost is dismembered, it will become scattered puzzle pieces, just like the seven elders of the Republic of China dismembering their own supernatural beings... But the ghost in front of me is one of the puzzle pieces of the Red and White Duo. If I continue to dismember it with the ghost cleaver, the final result will most likely be a vengeful ghost that has crashed.”
With a thought, Lu Ming raised his hand and held up the blood-stained umbrella.
Simply raising your hand and making eye contact is enough to trigger the killing pattern of the Ghost Slash, without even needing to strike.
To be on the safe side, Lu Ming added supernatural elements and even used the supernatural abilities of the Deceitful Ghost.
Ghost Cleaver lived up to expectations, ignoring the reactions of the eight sedan bearers and landing on the main body of the wedding sedan without any obstruction, followed by a muffled thud.
The wedding sedan chair was damaged.
Old, moldy planks were scattered everywhere, and the rusty nails were cracked.
The eight paper figures, which were originally lifelike, turned into flat paper figures and stuck to the ground like stamps.
The place was a complete mess.
But there was nothing inside the wedding sedan chair.
A wedding sedan chair used for picking up the bride was completely empty inside; this seemed like a terrifying paranormal event.
But Lu Ming was not surprised by this result.
The ghost bride was still holding his hand. The two had been the red and white duo for quite some time. How could they suddenly run into the sedan chair?
As for the main body of the wedding sedan chair, it was actually a dark, somber wooden board.
The color of this wooden plank was darker than the surrounding planks, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time and become dull.
Under the influence of the ghostly cleaver, the wooden plank that formed the main structure broke into two pieces, and its supernatural properties also went into a state of stagnation.
But Lu Ming wasn't worried that he would ruin the wedding sedan chair.
Because ghosts cannot be killed.
Even though it's been destroyed to this terrible state, as long as the two broken wooden planks are put back together, a new wedding sedan chair can be restored.
In its current state, with the supernatural system temporarily out of order, it actually best meets Lu Ming's requirement of safely retrieving the wedding sedan chair.
The terrifying paranormal event was instantly resolved thanks to the intervention of the ghost groom, Lu Ming.
