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

Upon seeing this, everyone fell silent.

Captain Wang Chaling's clock curse also failed.

Even this supernatural object involving the laws of time could not have any effect on the ghost ship.

The ghost ship continued its journey across the sea without encountering any obstacles.

"It's all over now... There's nothing we can do but watch helplessly as the ghost ship lands, sails into our city, and brings vengeful spirits and disaster."

Lu Zhiwen, the only civilian team leader among the team leaders, frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

He tried to boost morale, saying, "No matter what, it's not over yet. Now is not the time to be discouraged. The best solution is to follow what we discussed at the meeting: first, evacuate the ordinary people living along the coast, and then we captains can discuss how to deal with the ghost ship."

All I can say is that Lu Zhiwen truly deserves to be called a civilian team leader.

When encountering paranormal events, the first thought is not fighting and killing, but how to minimize the damage as much as possible, which shows that I still have some sense.

Cao Yanhua nodded, which was considered as agreement to his proposed plan.

"Immediately arrange for my men to evacuate and relocate. The basic work was almost completed a few days ago, so the evacuation should be quick."

···········
Lu Zhiwen is in charge of this area, and the evacuation of the crowd is still underway.

The reason given by headquarters was an unknown natural disaster.

Although paranormal events have broken out all over the world so far, the existence of vengeful ghosts is like fire that cannot be hidden, and many people have already heard about them.

However, the authorities cannot openly acknowledge this, lest it trigger greater panic and unrest.

"Simply relocating people is not a long-term solution. The invasion of the ghost ships will affect far more than just coastal cities. If a solution cannot be found within a certain timeframe, the entire country of China will be impacted..."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the coastline, the ghost ship was getting closer and closer.

As the ghost ship approached, an overwhelming sense of oppression swept over it, like dark clouds pressing down on a city, distorting even the real space around the ghost ship.

This is because the supernatural power has reached such a level that it has even interfered with reality.

"So, what did Elder Qin say?"

Cao Yanhua turned to the operator in charge of communication and asked.

After realizing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Cao Yanhua immediately arranged for a specialist to contact Qin Lao.

Because Qin usually only plans things behind the scenes and rarely appears in public, most people have forgotten his existence.

Some people even suspect that he is dead.

However, before Lu Ming appeared, Qin Lao had always been the headquarters' biggest trump card, and Cao Yanhua, the deputy minister, could not possibly forget him.

"Minister Cao, Elder Qin only said he understands, but his own health doesn't seem to be very good..."

"Is there no other indication?"

"Nothing."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yanhua frowned even more deeply.

He couldn't understand why Old Qin stood by and did nothing.

From any perspective, a natural-born ghost tamer like Qin Lao would not refrain from taking action out of fear of death.

In other words, Old Qin should have been prepared to sacrifice himself long ago.

"Old Qin maintains this attitude either because his own condition is too poor to make a move..."

"Either the current situation has deteriorated to the point where there's no need for a final struggle, and it's time to give up..."

"No, that's not right, there's another possibility."

"That is, so far, the development of the times has not been beyond Qin Lao's control. He has already communicated with his future self, so there is no need for him to take action at this time."

Cao Yanhua clenched his fist secretly. Although he felt that the possibility was extremely slim, he couldn't help but hope for it.

In this critical situation, who is capable of turning the tide?

Lu Ming?
It could only be him.

But he hasn't been heard from for a long time, as if he's vanished into thin air.

Nobody knows where he went or what he was going to do.

···········
Just then, a cry of surprise pulled Cao Yanhua back to reality.

"Minister Cao, the ghost ship has disappeared!"

The observers at the front lines looked horrified, completely unable to comprehend how such a large ghost ship could suddenly disappear under the watchful eyes of countless surveillance cameras.

Has it disappeared...?

Cao Yanhua had some understanding of ghost ships, and he certainly wouldn't naively believe that the disappearance of a ghost ship meant it had changed course and abandoned the landing.

This only means that the ghost ship has once again returned to the supernatural realm and disappeared from the real world.

For them, this was actually bad news.

The disappearance of the ghost ship meant that they had lost track of it once again.

Nobody knows where the ghost ship will appear next.

The movement of vengeful ghosts in supernatural spaces is unpredictable and cannot be determined by simple physical means.

It's like a ghost bus.

You board the train in Dachang City and get off in Dachang City; you might be taken directly to another country.

These thoughts flashed through Cao Yanhua's mind. As if he had suddenly thought of something, he quickly took out his satellite phone and dialed a number.

This number is encrypted, and even its IP address cannot be traced.

The other party seemed to have known that Cao Yanhua would call, as the call was answered as soon as it rang.

A voice, altered by a voice changer, rang out with a half-smile: "Minister Cao, what brings you here?"

Where will the ghost ship appear next?

On the other end of the phone, the member of the King Organization smiled without saying a word.

"Once it's done, headquarters will send the manor owner's body to your designated location as soon as possible."

"Plus 10 tons of gold."

The price offered by Cao Yanhua was undoubtedly quite sincere.

He certainly didn't want to be controlled by others.

However, the situation is urgent, and if no corresponding action is taken, it will definitely lead to irreversible consequences.

"Minister Cao is indeed sincere. I wish you success."

"Where will the ghost ship next appear...?"

"Dahai City!"

···········
Upon receiving the notification, the team leaders from headquarters, including Zhang Xianguang, rushed to Dahai City.

Everyone's nerves were on edge.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the final battle will take place in Dahai City.

Either the King's organization will be forced to retreat, or they will be destroyed.

Of course, although Cao Yanhua chose to send all the team leaders to Dahai City, he was still cautious and did not blindly believe the words of the King's Organization member.

Because he wasn't sure if the guy who hadn't revealed his identity was lying to him.

Is he planning to lure all the team leaders to Dahai City and capture them all in one fell swoop?
Or are they trying to use a diversionary tactic to distract the core forces at headquarters?
Cao Yanhua had no idea.

But it's always good to be cautious. (Dahai City)

The weather here has changed.

The air was thick with a hazy gray, and the sky was so low it seemed about to drip water, creating an incredibly oppressive atmosphere.

Shortly after the team captains arrived, the Ghost Realm stretched out in the sky.

Several figures slowly emerged from the ghost realm.

They are all kings of the King's Organization.

These people were looking smugly at the team leaders at headquarters, seemingly confident of victory.

But before they could make a move, the streetlights flickered.

Then, a figure slowly emerged from the light.

“Those who know me well know that I have always been very tolerant of foreigners because I rarely look them in the eye.”

"But since you insist on jumping around in front of me, then there's nothing to talk about."

Having said that, by the last faint light, the kings saw a middle-aged man wearing a long robe.

No, not just one, but several overlapping figures.

The kings even suspected that there was something wrong with their eyesight, and that they were seeing double.

Before they could react, the middle-aged man raised his long knife and swung it down fiercely.

puff!
Blood splattered out!

With almost no resistance, several heads fell to the ground simultaneously.

“Those who bark and howl, this strike is like slaughtering dogs.”

Zhang Xianguang wiped the blood off the knife and let out a cold snort.

The few kings who appeared at this moment were just the vanguard; the King's Organization members gathered in Dahai City were clearly more than just these few.

In the blink of an eye, several more dark figures appeared in sight.

However, after Zhang Xianguang made his move, these kings all became obedient and dared not make any further rash moves.

Clearly, Zhang Xianguang's strength surpasses theirs.

Even if the final outcome doesn't change, whoever steps forward at this moment will be the first to be killed.

These kings, though arrogant, were not fools.

At this point, they all chose to wait and see, wanting to make their move when the ghost ship invaded Ocean City and the captains were too busy to take care of themselves.

"Headquarters does indeed have some resources; refraining from launching an attack before Project Ark was fully prepared was the right choice..."

Both sides had different thoughts and remained deadlocked, neither daring to make a move.

Because this is the final battle, any small mistake could affect the entire situation.

Time passed little by little.

Only about a minute had passed.

This minute felt incredibly long to everyone at headquarters, as if it had lasted an entire century.

One minute later, the ghost ship invaded reality.

At this moment, the captains scattered throughout the city of Da Hai felt a sense of unease and knew the exact location of the ghost ship.

Because once the ghost ship appears, all the ghost riders in the Great City will sense it.

puff!

Boom!
In just a moment, the entire city of Dahai lost power.

The once bustling and vibrant city of Shanghai was plunged into endless darkness, and all the liveliness, noise, and commotion vanished from the city at this moment.

Under normal circumstances, paranormal events would at most affect one street in the real world.

But the mere appearance of the ghost ship brought the entire metropolis to a standstill.

"What happened? Why did the power suddenly go out just after we received a red weather warning?"

"No, it's not just a power outage... Look at the sky..."

Some residents of Dahai City noticed something was wrong and pointed to the sky.

The clouds hung low, a black curtain like ink spread across the sky.

At some point, a huge ship appeared in the sky above the street. The ship was old and dilapidated, as if it had been abandoned and drifting at sea for many years. Strangely, the ship did not seem real; it was like a phantom image.

Ghost ship!!!
The ghost ship has reappeared in its true form.

Although they had seen ghost ships at sea before, this was the first time one had appeared in a human-inhabited city, and none of the previous sightings had been nearly as visually impactful as this one…

"What the heck?!"

"Let me see, let me see!"

"Don't crowd in front, let me watch the show, take a picture and leave..."

The Chinese people's tendency to enjoy watching the excitement of events is beginning to take hold.

A large crowd immediately gathered below the ghost ship.

They were unaware of the danger posed by the large ship.

Some people think it's an optical phenomenon similar to a mirage, while others think it's a movie scene.

Fortunately, headquarters had anticipated this.

At this point, it was too late to issue an evacuation notice. A team leader immediately used the Ghost Domain to transfer all the gathered people.

Although doing so still inevitably resulted in casualties.

But they have done their best.

After all, the strength of these team leaders' ghost domains is not strong enough to cover the entire Dahai City.

"If all else fails, we'll have no choice but to fight the King's organization to the death."

"They lured the ghost ship here, so naturally we won't let them off easy. If we're going to die, we'll die together. We're capable of doing that."

The top brass at headquarters hated the King Organization with a vengeance, and even considered fighting to the death.

When it rains, it pours.

After the ghost ship appeared, the observers at the front line kept sending messages to Cao Yanhua.

"Minister Cao, the ghost ship has begun releasing vengeful spirits."

"The number of vengeful ghosts is increasing rapidly... Basically, every few meters, several vengeful ghosts invade Dahai City... Some can be observed, while others disappear as soon as they appear in the real world."

The ghost ship cannot be stopped, which means they cannot stop it from releasing vengeful spirits and can only watch helplessly as it happens.

Are they just supposed to follow behind the ghost ship and keep fighting against the vengeful spirits released from it?
If that's the case, then they've fallen right into the King's organization's trap.

"Damn it..."

Cold sweat had soaked through Cao Yanhua's back.

He dared not imagine what the entire Chinese community would become after today; it would be no exaggeration to say that he had stirred up a huge mess.

Just when everyone was in despair, the layers of dark clouds in the sky were suddenly torn apart.

Sunlight, absent for a long time, shone upon the city of Dahai. (End of Chapter)
