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

The old wooden planks underfoot creaked and groaned, and the jarring sound made it seem as if something was singing and dancing on the deck.

“These singing voices are very unusual; they are definitely some kind of paranormal phenomenon.”

Zhang Jun said coldly, "There's no need to emphasize that. What I'm more concerned about is that you said something patted your back just now... Besides the ghosts on the deck, there's probably another ghost in this narrow stairwell."

Even now, with the paranormal having fully revived, the probability of ordinary people encountering paranormal events is still not high, let alone encountering two paranormal events in a row, which is basically impossible.

However, this phenomenon makes sense on a ghost ship.

This is no ordinary ship, but a ghost ship pieced together from countless supernatural places. On this ship, vengeful spirits are the natives, while the ghost tamers are the outsiders.

"Another ghost? If that's the case, then it's indeed a bit tricky. On this ghost ship, most of my supernatural abilities are suppressed. If I have to deal with several supernatural events at the same time, I'm afraid I'll be doomed."

Zhou Deng nodded, indicating that he took Zhang Jun's conjecture seriously.

However, as one of the team leaders, he naturally has his own methods.

Zhou Deng pulled out a human skin mask from somewhere and covered his face with it.

He still looked as ordinary and unremarkable as ever.

However, his aura quickly changed, becoming cold and eerie.

The current Zhou Deng is more like a real vengeful ghost than a ghost tamer.

He used this method before on the ghost bus.

Since the principles of ghost fields and ghost buses are similar on some levels, then human skin masks should also be effective here.

Zhang Jun said, "I had a vague feeling that the singing on the deck was special, as if it was attracting me to move closer to that side."

In response, Zhou Deng chimed in, "Hmm... I feel the same way. Shall we go take a look?"

"Of course we can't go. Because we both have the same feeling, I suspect that the singing is deliberately luring us. If we get close, something very dangerous might happen..."

As the two were talking, the singing behind them became clearer and clearer, and there were even other accompaniment sounds, like a violin being played, but it was not a tone that ordinary strings could produce.

That tone cannot be played by any instrument in reality, and even deliberate synthesis would find it difficult to reproduce perfectly.

“In this place, every time we use the supernatural, the vengeful spirit within us will fall into a short period of dormancy. In other words, we must think carefully before we act... So I think the best approach is to first deal with the danger in the stairwell, and then go up to the second floor to see if we can find any trace of the captain.”

There are just too many anomalies on the ghost ship; it would be impossible to thoroughly investigate every single place.

Now that Zhang Xun and Zhou Deng have set their goals, they just need to keep moving towards them.

···········
As it turned out, Zhang Jun's decision was quite correct.

They ignored the singing coming from the deck and decided to focus on dealing with the unseen ghost in the stairwell.

But after they had this thought, the ghost in the stairwell mysteriously disappeared.

It seemed that the two of them had not triggered the ghost's killing pattern, so it once again hid in the thick black fog.

"Although we don't know what happened, the good news is that the crisis is temporarily over. This ghost ship was far too dangerous. Regardless of whether the plan succeeded or not, we must disembark the next time the ghost ship reappears in the real world..."

The ghost ship travels between the supernatural and the real, with each stop lasting an unpredictable amount of time.

Zhang Jun and Zhou Deng didn't know when the ghost ship would next dock in the real world.

In short, if they hadn't seized that opportunity, they might have been stuck here forever.

Thinking of this, the two felt an increased sense of urgency about the unknown.

The captain must be found as soon as possible.

Even if you can't find the captain, you have to find the cockpit of the ghost ship. Such a big ghost ship, even if the captain wants to control the ship's direction, he must rely on something like a rudder.

Finding the cockpit and destroying the rudder inside will have the same effect.

After climbing the old, cracked wooden planks to the second floor of the ghost ship, Zhang Jun and Zhou Deng felt the light in front of them become even dimmer, and neither of them knew what was hidden in the darkness around them.

Zhang Jun glanced around casually and said, "Putting aside other places, just this corridor in front of me gives me a bad feeling. It's cold and desolate. If I walk through it rashly, I'm sure I'll get into a lot of trouble."

"What should we do? The suppression in this godforsaken place is too strong; even the Ghost Domain is difficult to unleash, making it impossible to pass directly through this corridor..."

Zhang Jun did not answer, but instead activated the demonic heart within his body once more.

dong dong!dong dong!
In the quiet environment, even the sound of a heartbeat becomes exceptionally clear.

But then, something unbelievable happened.

Zhang Jun's ever-beating heart suddenly stopped beating without warning, falling into a brief silence.

Before Zhou Deng could even utter a surprised word, he felt a pair of invisible hands suddenly reach into his chest, gripping his heart tightly and squeezing it shut.

As any normal person knows, the heart is the body's engine. Without the heart beating to supply blood, one will quickly lose all vital signs.

Strangely, after Zhang Jun and Zhou Deng's hearts stopped beating simultaneously under the influence of the ghost heart, they both seemed unaffected, except for a slightly pale complexion and no other significant changes.

"This is······"

"I used supernatural means to stop our hearts from beating. This cessation of beating can shield us from the vengeful spirit's perception of us... During the time our hearts stop beating, we are just two walking corpses. Even if we swagger through this corridor, we will not trigger the vengeful spirit's killing pattern."

While nothing is absolute, in most cases, vengeful spirits do not possess their own thoughts.

Unless they are extremely unlucky and encounter a vengeful ghost with independent thought, such as a wishing ghost, they are absolutely safe during the time their hearts stop beating and will not be attacked by the vengeful ghost.

Sure enough, the two walked down the dimly lit corridor without being attacked by any supernatural forces.

"There seems to be a puddle of water ahead..."

Looking in the direction Zhou Deng was pointing, the pool of water was deep and still, and looked like seawater.

But how could there be such a mysterious pool of seawater on the second floor of the ghost ship?

Furthermore, the wooden planks surrounding the puddle are all dry, which makes even more illogical.

"Do not come into contact with that puddle of water, and try to stay away from that area."

Zhang Jun gave a verbal prompt.

They must avoid all potentially dangerous places, kill the king codenamed Captain, and then safely leave this hellish place.

Zhou Deng's gaze was somewhat unfocused. Compared to the puddle of water blocking the road, he was more concerned about a wooden bucket placed next to it.

The planks used to make this barrel are somewhat similar in material to the deck of a ghost ship.

However, there are many cracks on the surface of the wooden board.

It looks old; it's an antique.

"This thing looks like a supernatural artifact, and it's very rare; you definitely can't find one like it outside..."

Zhou Deng relapsed into his old habit, wanting to steal anything unusual he saw. "No, this mission is too crucial. If I mess things up at this time, no one can protect me... Not to mention anything else, when Lu Ming comes back, he'll probably be the first one to get rid of me."

Fortunately, although Zhou Deng was tempted, he was not stupid and ultimately forced himself to resist the urge to steal.

···········
After a series of close calls, the two finally arrived at the driver's door on the second floor.

boom!
Zhang Jun walked ahead and pushed the door open.

Although the supernatural power he was controlling was suppressed by the ghost ship.

However, his strength was undoubtedly greater than Zhou Deng's, so it was only natural for him to go ahead and scout the way.

However, the sight that greeted them left both of them somewhat disappointed.

The control room was dark and dimly lit, with only a few dilapidated chairs. The console itself had long been abandoned, and trying to control the ghost ship through it was simply a pipe dream.

"There was no captain, and no rudder... We found nothing here, it's like we've been tricked."

"Wouldn't that mean we'd made a wasted trip?"

"No... that's not quite right."

Zhang Jun looked around and carefully examined the abandoned control console.

He found that the console had all the necessary infrastructure, except for one crucial component: the ship's rudder.

The current situation confirms that the key to controlling this ghost ship is the missing rudder.

And where is the rudder?

The answer to this question is quite obvious.

"Controlling the ghost ship is crucial, and it's absolutely a vital part of Project Ark. Even if the King's Organization were careless, they wouldn't have just carelessly left the rudder out there. I suspect the captain probably carried the rudder with him at all times..."

The reason for this speculation is that the rudder must be on the ghost ship.

If the ship's rudder is removed from the ghost ship, then these supernatural items will be of little use.

It's safe to say that he's not the kind of captain who spends most of his time abroad. Zhang Xun's ability to judge problems is unparalleled among captains.

Zhou Deng stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "That's true, but just knowing this information isn't enough. The question is, what should we do next?"

There are just too many rooms inside the ghost ship; it's simply not realistic to search them one by one.

Moreover, some of these rooms are dangerous, while others are not.

The King's organization can make countless mistakes, but Zhang Xun and Zhou Deng never have a single chance to make one.

Faced with Zhou Deng's question, Zhang Jun also fell into a brief silence.

It's cruel, but that's reality.

They were too passive.

Moreover, they are on someone else's turf, and they are unfamiliar with everything here.

Finding the king, codenamed Captain, within a limited time is nothing short of a pipe dream.

After a moment, Zhang Jun finally spoke heavily, "You're right, we're in a very passive position right now. All conventional methods are ineffective..."

"So I decided to make some noise to attract the captain's attention."

As soon as the words were spoken, the invisible hand that had been gripping their hearts suddenly released its grip.

Zhang Jun and Zhou Deng's hearts started beating again.

They regained their human vitality.

Zhang Jun pulled out a ghost-drawn gun from beside him.

This is a supernatural weapon unique to him.

When Zhang Jun first returned to China, he used this ghost-drawn gun to save five kings from supernatural attacks.

If the five kings hadn't been holding coffin nails, Zhang Jun might have actually escaped.

At this moment, Zhang Jun, who had obtained the Ghost Gun, began to launch supernatural attacks on everything around him without any scruples.

Bang bang bang!
A series of earth-shattering noises came from inside the driver's cab.

Zhang Jun destroyed all the supernatural items in the cockpit, including the abandoned control panel.

While ghosts cannot be killed, supernatural objects can indeed be affected.

If a supernatural object is subjected to stronger supernatural suppression, it may indeed become temporarily ineffective.

Of course, the commotion Zhang Jun made in the control room was not intended to cause the captain any significant loss.

Rather, they were using these commotions to lure the captain over.

···········
"Are you deliberately revealing your whereabouts to lure the captain here?"

Zhou Deng was stunned by Zhang Jun's actions.

In his opinion, this guy was simply courting death.

In fact, although Zhang Jun's actions were dangerous, they were indeed effective.

The last dim light in the driver's cab flickered for a moment before going out completely.

Then, a stiff and eerie figure suddenly appeared not far in front of Zhou Deng and Zhang Jun.

It was a man with a rotting face and a numb expression, like a vengeful ghost. He stood there motionless, staring at Zhou Deng and Zhang Jun with his glass-bead-like eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"Finally, the king, codenamed Captain, has appeared."

Zhang Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw the captain.

He had been active abroad for many years and was familiar with the king's general military strength.

Zhang Jun did not believe that the King was his match in a one-on-one fight.

Not to mention, he also had Zhou Deng, the team leader, helping him.

"It seems... it's finally coming to an end."

"I, Zhang Jun, will put an end to your ridiculous Ark Project today."
