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

"My body no longer exists... No, that's not right. To be more precise, I have broken free from the constraints of my physical body."

"Now, even if I want to exist in this world, I don't need to rely on a physical body."

Unsurprisingly, the wedding, which was expected to be terrifying, ended smoothly.

It wasn't as dangerous as I had imagined; the process went smoothly, even somewhat eerily.

However, only Lu Ming himself knew that he was able to reach his current state partly because of the wedding, and partly because Lu Ming's mental strength had already undergone three transformations.

Each transformation brings about earth-shattering changes to him, and in the end, he may even approach a state of transcendence.

Just like Lu Ming now, he has become an outlier among outliers, just as he had predicted.

Lu Ming died at this moment.

He cannot be considered a human being in the true sense of the word at this point.

Of course, it is neither a vengeful ghost nor a ghost tamer, but a state somewhere in between.

"Reversing time and space, strolling along the river of time, ignoring the laws of space and time, and even achieving a degree of immortality..."

"I am the only one born of this era. It can be said that I am the result of countless opportunities and coincidences, or it can be said that it is my destiny."

Thinking of this, Lu Ming turned to look at the ghost bride beside him.

At this moment, the bride had completely lifted the red veil from her head, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful and flawless face.

Seemingly noticing Lu Ming's gaze, the ghost bride returned a stiff smile.

Lu Ming said, "It's about time. Let's leave this place now and end this hopeless supernatural era together."

The long-awaited wedding has finally come to an end.

And the wedding did not disappoint Lu Ming.

This even exceeded Lu Ming's expectations.

He is now far more powerful than the fully-formed Red and White Duo in that unreal world.

···········
outside world.

Time passed day by day.

The world after Lu Ming left was peaceful and stable because of the arrangements he had made.

However, from time to time, those who control ghosts will mysteriously disappear.

However, the disappearance of these ghost tamers did not cause much of a stir.

Because in just a few days, people will completely forget their existence, as if these people had never existed in this world at all.

The trend of paranormal resurgence is intensifying, and many terrifying paranormal events have occurred across the country recently.

However, the headquarters is finding it increasingly difficult and powerless to deal with these paranormal events.

Because ghosts cannot be killed.

In contrast, those who control ghosts are few in number and generally have very short lifespans.

Once the vengeful spirits within them revive, they will not only be unable to handle paranormal events, but may even create new paranormal events, causing even more terrifying consequences.

It happened on an ordinary afternoon.

A piece of news suddenly caused an uproar at headquarters.

"The King's Ark Project has been brought forward; the ship known as the Ghost Ship has officially set sail... The Ghost Ship seems to be pieced together from countless paranormal events, carrying a large number of vengeful spirits. If we cannot stop the Ghost Ship from landing, the situation in the country will further deteriorate and become more severe..."

boom!
Upon hearing this, Cao Yanhua slammed his hand on the table, looking extremely angry.

Damn it!

"These beasts are so short-sighted. Don't they understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'? They're in such a hurry to send over the vengeful ghost. Even if it can buy us some time, they won't be any better off once we fall."

A senior leader at headquarters frowned and asked, "Who gave them the audacity to do this? The King Organization has suffered repeated setbacks in China, and the last incident has proven that Lu Ming has never left. As long as he is still here, who would dare to act recklessly?"

"I don't know what they're relying on, but judging from their current actions, they want to completely break ties with us."

The ship, dubbed the Ghost Ship, has already set sail and will soon be fully in port.

And this is only the main force.

No one knows how many kings from the King's Organization have already entered the country at this moment...
The team leaders and supervisors stationed in various locations by headquarters are at risk of being attacked at any time.

"Minister Cao, things have come to this point, and there's nothing we can do but call all twelve team leaders over and convene a headquarters meeting immediately... especially Lu Ming, who is the only one who can take charge now."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yanhua frowned even more deeply.

He didn't answer, but just sat in his seat in silence.

Neither outsiders nor the higher-ups at headquarters knew, and even Cao Yanhua himself didn't know Lu Ming's whereabouts.

He didn't know what Lu Ming was up to, so he didn't ask any questions and simply chose to unconditionally support all of Lu Ming's decisions.

The problem is that everyone wants them to bring Lu Ming out to take charge, but Cao Yanhua has no way to contact Lu Ming.

Has the delicate balance that the paranormal community has maintained for so long finally been broken?

Cao Yanhua had a vague premonition.

Something big is about to happen.

Whether it survives or perishes depends on how things unfold next.

"Everyone is probably familiar with this so-called Ark Project. According to the intelligence Zhang Jun brought back from abroad, the environment abroad is no better than that in China. In fact, due to the chaotic management and the misconduct of the ghost tamers, the resurgence of supernatural phenomena is even more severe."

"In order to avoid taking risks in dealing with paranormal events, the ghost tamers in the King's organization simply chose to divert the trouble eastward, to bring all the evil spirits to our country. This would both prevent the rebellious spirits from spreading further and limit the strength of the ghost tamers in our country."

"I have to say, these wicked guys really know how to play their cards right."

"However, as everyone has seen, in the previous encounters, our China has always gained the upper hand, and the King's Organization has suffered repeated setbacks."

"In that case, even if they launch Project Ark ahead of schedule, we have no reason to be afraid. At worst, we'll fight them. In my opinion, no one wants to be a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others."

It can only be said that Cao Yanhua truly deserves to have risen to the position of vice minister through his own abilities.

He quickly adjusted his emotions and began to boost morale.

These words were spoken with great confidence and pride.

The people present seemed to be infected by his emotions, their previous dejection vanishing. One of the high-ranking officials imitated Cao Yanhua, slamming his fist on the table and saying fiercely, "Minister Cao is right, there's nothing to be afraid of. Rather than saying they've brought forward the Ark Project, it's more accurate to say they've brought forward their own demise!"

Cao Yanhua looked at the scene before him, but did not feel relieved at all.

Because he knew that even if he managed to get away with it for the time being, he couldn't stop the ghost ship from landing.

After a while, things will still have to be the same as before.

"Lu Ming, oh Lu Ming, where have you gone...?"

"Why are these guys able to time their attacks so precisely? Logically speaking, after their previous setbacks, they have no reason to advance the Ark Project; they might even postpone it. But judging from their current behavior, they seem completely confident in Lu Ming..."

···········
The news that Project Ark had been brought forward quickly spread throughout the paranormal community.

This news caused a real shock in the paranormal community.

After all, this is not a personal grudge.

In this confrontation, there will never be any true bystanders.

No one in the paranormal community, or even those outside of it, can remain uninvolved.

The outcome of this battle may determine the major trends of the future.

"No, I really feel that headquarters is doomed this time. I know about that legendary ghost ship. Its level of terror surpasses that of an S-class ship. It's simply beyond the capabilities of a Ghost Rider, and even members of the King Organization can't completely control it... No! I must find a way to join the King Organization immediately!"

"Defection at the last minute? If China really pulls through this time, who do you think will be the first person purged at headquarters?"

"···········"

“I’m different. I won’t get involved in any of this disputes. I just want to live peacefully. During the ghost ship landing, I will try to leave China and live abroad for a while until things calm down before I come back.”

"This time... how could there be any question of whether the storm has passed? Once the ghost ship lands, the entire country of China will become a horrific hell on earth. At that time, whether you come back or not will be of little significance."

"···········"

"Since that's the case, then I'll lay my cards on the table. I'm not going to pretend anymore. I choose to join the King's Organization."

"I want to join the King's Organization too."

The various comments on paranormal forums seem to be deliberately guided by certain people with ulterior motives.

At this critical moment when war is about to break out, this kind of propaganda tactic, though crude, is extremely effective.

As it turns out, the propaganda war wasn't just targeting ordinary ghost tamers; it even affected other forces.

Even the Japanese exorcism societies have made their stance clear.

Mishima, the president of the island nation's exorcism society, personally posted a message saying, "To be honest, I was very excited after hearing the news that the King organized the Ark Project to land ghost ships in China."

"Because from a broader perspective, this is absolutely the best way to slow down the current resurgence of paranormal activity."

"Of course, we are also grateful for and highly appreciate the contributions and sacrifices made by China in upholding righteousness in this incident."

"To show our sincerity, the Exorcism Society is willing to do everything possible to make up for the losses suffered by China this time."

This statement appears to be written very politely, without offending either side.

In reality, the Exorcism Society has already made its position very clear.

They want to stand with the King's Organization and support Project Ark.

"Pah! These bastards, they're like dogs that can't change their nature. They've been doing this for decades, always currying favor with the powerful and bullying the weak. When they were weak, they'd bow and scrape like servants, but once they gained power, they started to act all high and mighty. If it were just a matter of differing stances, that would be one thing, but these bastards have to put on a righteous and awe-inspiring act. They're so hypocritical, it's absolutely disgusting."

Compared to the intense reaction from his subordinates, Cao Yanhua, as the vice minister, was much calmer.

"They're all just common phrases; you get used to them after seeing them a lot."

"Although relations have never been good, China and the island nation are neighbors. Once the ghost ship lands, it will not only affect China, but the island nation will also be affected."

"But their continued support for Project Ark can only mean that the King Organization had promised them many benefits beforehand, even huge benefits that they couldn't refuse."

Cao Yanhua understood these problems very clearly, but he was just an ordinary person, and even if he understood them clearly, there was nothing he could do.

He was willing to give up everything he had for his country.

Even this life.

But dealing with paranormal events isn't just about risking your life.

"If only Lu Ming were still here..."

Cao Yanhua sighed heavily.

Although I don't know what happened to those two kings who suffered a setback a few days ago.

But even now, Lu Ming still hasn't appeared, which speaks volumes.

Although Lu Ming was considered a troublemaker by headquarters, the Lu family has always been very clear about priorities.

Faced with such a momentous event concerning the survival of the nation, he would never sit idly by and watch the tigers fight for some petty gains.

In other words, if Lu Ming hadn't been entangled in other matters, he should have appeared by now.

···········
An emergency headquarters meeting was held in J City.

Except for very few special cases.

Almost all the team captains were present at this meeting.

After all, this matter is not child's play. Even if there are past grudges, they will consider the overall situation and temporarily put aside their personal grievances.

"As you all probably already know, the ghost ship will land in a few days. I don't need to elaborate on the consequences of the ghost ship landing; it's an outcome we absolutely cannot accept. Therefore, we must stop it before it lands."

Cao Yanhua pressed the remote control in his hand, and four large red characters immediately appeared on the big screen.

Decapitation operation.

"Operation Decapitation, that's the code name for our operation. We need to find the ghost ship's trail at sea within three days and kill the legendary captain. Without the captain to control the ghost ship's direction, it will eventually get lost at sea and be unable to land in China."

"The plan has been finalized. The key now is who will lead the decapitation operation, that is, who will assassinate the captain."

"My initial suggestion is that these two captains should confront the captain directly."

As Cao Yanhua finished speaking, two names appeared before everyone.

Zhou Deng.

Zhang Jun. (End of Chapter)
