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

Chapter 297 1 Bowing to Heaven and Earth! Paper Figures Paying Homage

At this moment, what appeared in front of Lu Ming was a paper figure dressed in dark blue funeral clothes.

The reason you can tell at a glance that this is a paper figure is because its expression is so stiff, like a lifeless wax figure.

The paper figure's lips curled into a strange smile as it faced Lu Ming, slowly raising its hand in a gesture of "please".

"The identity of this paper figure... seems to be that of a master of ceremonies?"

"There were no clues at the scene; I had to guess and deduce everything myself, just like the horror games I used to play... But this is different from games. Here, I don't have a second chance. If I make a serious mistake, I will pay with my life..."

"I can't worry about that now. Ever since I crossed that threshold, the signs of the vengeful spirit within me have become increasingly obvious. Even with strong mental power as support, it's only a matter of time before the supernatural within me fully awakens."

"In other words, my life has already started its countdown, and I have no hope of surviving if I take a gamble."

With that in mind, Lu Ming had no choice but to follow the paper figure's guidance, leading the ghost bride deeper into the ghost courtyard.

However, once he reached the depths of the haunted house, Lu Ming discovered that there were two doors in front of him, one painted red and the other white.

The emcee led the way to this point and stopped, seemingly letting Lu Ming choose which door to go through.

This scene reminded Lu Ming of a saying he had heard before.

In many underground tombs, there are entrances to life and entrances to death. Choosing the entrance to life ensures safety, while choosing the entrance to death means certain death...
"Am I forced to choose between this red door and this white door?"

Apart from their color, the two doors are identical and offer no other clues.

It can be inferred that red represents weddings, while white represents funerals.

"My main purpose in coming to this haunted place is to complete the wedding with the ghost bride... According to this theory, I should choose the red door."

Just as Lu Ming was about to step into the red gate, his thoughts changed. He thought to himself, "Among the Red and White Demons, I represent the White Demon, and I am wearing white mourning clothes. Perhaps I should choose the White Gate."

Two completely different choices, but both make sense.

Lu Ming frowned.

He didn't have much time left to make a decision. If he continued to drag it out, even if he made the right choice later, he wouldn't be able to complete the wedding with the ghost bride before the vengeful spirit revived.

"etc······"

"Since both choices make sense, can I choose both?"

"The rules have never required that you can only pass through one of the doors. The red and white doors are both essential elements, whether they are red or white."

"Moreover... the biggest difference between this wedding and a normal wedding is that it was held in conjunction with a funeral."

Upon realizing this, Lu Ming suddenly understood.

There were two doors, one for him and one for the bride; there was no need to hesitate at all.

Perfectly, the white door was on the right and the red door was on the left, which corresponded exactly to his and the ghost bride's positions.

Lu Ming stood on the right, and the ghost bride on the left, as they entered the room together.

Sure enough, after crossing the threshold, nothing unusual happened. Lu Ming was neither tainted by the curse nor subjected to any terrible supernatural attacks.

The paper eunuch walked at the front, maintaining a creepy smile throughout, his steps slow and stiff.

Lu Ming took the opportunity to glance around at his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.

If they were still in the courtyard, which was outdoors, then they have now truly entered an indoor setting.

The environment here is cramped and narrow, giving people a feeling of oppression.

Eerie white candles and festive red candles were placed on both sides of the road, their flames flickering and swaying.

"It seems the wedding ceremony has already begun... I just don't know how long the whole process will last. Maintaining this stiff smile is having too much of an effect on me. Who knows, the vengeful spirit inside me might have already awakened before the ceremony is even over."

So, Lu Ming tried to stop using the ghostly smiling face supernatural feature.

But the next moment, his expression, which had just regained its composure, twisted with pain.

Although the crying was already far away from Lu Ming, the sound of crying outside the door could still affect him.

Once Lu Ming stops smiling, stiff lividity will creep onto his skin.

"Damn it, it still doesn't work..."

With no other option, Lu Ming had to quickly return to his previous state.

If the cold lividity is allowed to spread across his skin, he will soon lose all emotion and reason, becoming a walking corpse, or a ghost slave.

···········
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ming and the ghost bride, led by the emcee, finally arrived at the end of the corridor.

This looks like the venue for the formal wedding ceremony.

On one side is a red wedding table, and on the other side is a spirit altar used for sacrificial rites.

On the altar, there was a very obvious "囍" character, while on the other side, on the spirit altar, there was a memorial tablet for the deceased.

The paper eunuch stood at the end and said in a voice devoid of any emotion, "Let's welcome the bride."

Then, a series of footsteps came from outside the wedding hall.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Ming saw a wedding sedan chair coming into view, carried by eight paper figures, swaying as it approached.

Sobbing and whimpering could be heard coming from inside the sedan chair.

If it were anyone else, witnessing this bizarre scene, they would probably only feel terrified.

However, Lu Ming was extremely familiar with the voice coming from the wedding sedan chair.

"Is that... the voice of the ghost bride?"

Lu Ming's expression shifted slightly.

The ghost bride was somehow locked inside the wedding sedan chair.

But this is something that is simply impossible.

From the moment they entered the haunted house, Lu Ming had been holding the ghost bride's hand.

So, why did the ghost bride appear in the wedding sedan chair?
Lu Ming was certain that there was only one ghost bride. For a special kind of vengeful ghost like her to appear was already a miracle, one in ten thousand. To expect two identical ghost brides to appear at the same time was simply a pipe dream.

If that's the case, then there's probably only one possibility left.

"One of these two ghost brides is a fake."

The ghost wedding sedan chair was the one Lu Ming had driven in Dachang City before.

It's more like a coffin than a wedding sedan chair.

The room was surrounded on all four sides by wooden planks, which were held together firmly by rusty nails. There was no door, as if it was never intended for anyone inside to come out alive.

Upon seeing the wedding sedan chair, Lu Ming subconsciously assumed that the ghost bride inside was fake.

However, when he turned his gaze to the bride beside him, he was stunned.

The bride beside him was pale, her expression stiff, and her hands and feet were unusually cold.

The strangest thing was that the bride had two very obvious tear tracks on her face.

The tear tracks traced lines on her skin like water wetting paper, leaving faint marks. The wedding hall was dark, only the eerie glow of white candles and the candlelight illuminated the ghost bride's face.

This elusive, indistinct feeling is the most terrifying.

It was precisely because the light was so dim that Lu Ming suddenly realized that the ghost bride beside him was the fake one.

This is the paper figure he had prepared beforehand.

A paper ghost bride, dressed in a paper wedding gown, is to marry Lu Ming in the mourning hall...

Before I could think it through, the eerie voice of the paper eunuch rang out again.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

The sound was sharp and piercing, sending chills down one's spine.

Like a death knell tolling, the already dim environment became even darker.

At the same time, the paper bride next to Lu Ming also slowly began to move.

···········
at the same time.

The real world.

"As expected of the captain, he's truly amazing. If the kings weren't scattered all over the world, making it difficult to find everyone, Lu Ming would probably have wiped them all out long ago. There wouldn't be so much trouble then."

"The number one person in the paranormal field today truly deserves the title."

"What's most terrifying is that this guy is not only powerful, but also a legendary longevity king. He's been a ghost tamer for so long, yet there's not a single sign of his vengeful spirits resurfacing..."

During this period, discussions about Lu Ming within the paranormal community have not stopped, both online and offline.

After the previous incident and the Zhang Xun incident, the Chinese paranormal community is very optimistic about the current situation.

Lu Ming never left.

He has always been there.

As long as he is still alive, the King's organization's plans cannot be implemented, and those clowns can't cause any trouble.

···········
In the past, there were intense disputes among various factions within the Chinese paranormal community, with even different team leaders competing against each other.

Not to mention the inevitable friction between major forces such as paranormal forums, Xiaoqiang Club, and the clock organization.

However, this is true in most cases.

Once a common enemy is identified, any internal conflicts that existed before will be resolved at this moment.

For example, conflicts between countries around the world have always been ongoing, but if aliens were to invade Earth, the previously opposing forces would turn hostility into friendship and unite against a common enemy.

While there are a few extreme cases, most people fall into this category.

China is currently in a similar situation.

The King's Ark Project, once exposed, immediately sparked public outrage in the country.

Therefore, there is a high demand for Lu Ming within China, and he is regarded as a representative of the Chinese paranormal community.

Now that new stories are emerging, it is naturally inspiring.

"However, I think it's too early to be happy... The King's Organization is not our ultimate goal. Even if we get rid of these clowns, it won't stop the resurgence of the supernatural."

"What do you mean by that, upstairs? Making sarcastic remarks and pouring cold water on things at a time like this?"

"..."

“I think he’s right. Ghosts can’t be killed. Even without the King’s Organization, how long can we ghost tamers live? How long can humanity exist?”

"In this turbid and evil world, hell is empty, evil spirits have been resurrected, and the human world is like a prison. This is not just an empty saying."

"..."

No matter how optimistic a person is, they cannot deceive themselves or ignore these facts that are right in front of them.

Clearly, the resurgence of vengeful spirits is an inevitable trend.

Even if they trusted Lu Ming, they didn't think he could quell the turmoil of an era on his own.

Only a ghost can fight a ghost.

Lu Ming's abilities come from the supernatural.

If he wants to fight against the supernatural, he must rely on the power of the supernatural itself.

In this way, the vengeful ghost will never perish.

Rather than ending the upheaval of an era and quelling this supernatural age, the other two approaches may seem more credible.

One possibility is the emergence of a unique ghost tamer who uses terrifying methods to seal off this supernatural era and delay the arrival of that day.

The other is to find a way to coexist with the vengeful ghost.

What they didn't know was that Lu Ming's thoughts were completely different.

He hadn't even considered these two methods.

Lu Ming has only ever had one goal.

That is to completely end this hopeless era of the supernatural.

···········
On the paranormal forum, the ghost tamers chatted for a while, and then the topic veered off to other things.

"Speaking of recent paranormal events, I actually know of one..."

"There is no record of this paranormal event in the official archives, but it is rumored in private that the level of horror of this paranormal event reached S level."

"All the ghost tamers who tried to investigate this paranormal event in private disappeared without exception, as if they had vanished into thin air, leaving not even the resurrected vengeful ghost behind."

"There's a captain at headquarters named Liu San. He previously sent his paper effigy to investigate this paranormal event, but the paper effigy disappeared without a trace. Even Liu San himself has deteriorated drastically, and nobody knows his current condition..."

This statement immediately attracted the attention of many ghost tamers.

On the one hand, they were very interested in what the guy with the blank ID had said.

But on the other hand, I feel it's not that far-fetched.

In fact, let alone S-level paranormal events, most ghost controllers, apart from the one they personally experienced, have basically never even participated in C-level paranormal events.

At this moment.

A young man on the top floor of the Pearl Building in Dahai City was drinking milk and playing on his computer when he came across this post.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.

An S-class paranormal event?
Even unrecorded, mysterious paranormal events...
"Even Captain Liu San has fallen. If the intelligence is true, then it is indeed interesting and worth my personal attention."

What Ye Zhen never said was that although he acknowledged Lu Ming's status as Asia's number one, his previous defeat had left him feeling deeply frustrated. Ye Zhen had always longed for an opportunity to prove himself. (End of Chapter)
