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

Chapter 50: The Mysterious Return and Revival (Please continue reading)

The concepts of time and space briefly disappeared, a feeling completely different from when entering other instances.

Simply using "black" to describe everything around us seems inappropriate; a more accurate description would be nothingness.

It wasn't until Lu Ming stepped onto the ground again that the nothingness gradually transformed into a tangible and perceptible reality.

Lu Ming was still in that old residential apartment, which looked unremarkable, but if you looked closely, you would find that it was midnight and the date was the same as when Lu Ming left, without any change.

Even the second hand of the wall clock had only moved one tick, and that tick was probably still the one that had just moved.

"That's good, so that there won't be any more trouble while I'm away."

Lu Ming's stay in the mysterious resurrection world was still seven days. The mission issued by the Main God Space remained unchanged, but his own goal had changed.

For the next seven days, Lu Ming will not struggle to survive like he did at the beginning, taking each step with utmost care. In addition to maintaining the balance of the vengeful spirits, Lu Ming also needs to collect the puzzle pieces of the mummified bride and Sadako.

"The puzzle pieces for the mummy bride have been finalized. Once they're all collected, there might be some unexpected changes. As for Sadako... we can only wait and see if a suitable match comes along."

After some recollection, Lu Ming figured out where he was in the current timeline.

After the incident at Caesars Hotel, Yang Jian felt that his body was gradually being eroded by supernatural forces, and he was inclined to completely turn into a corpse, and this tendency was becoming more and more serious.

Driven by the instinct of the headless ghost to piece together a body, Yang Jian went to DaJ City to see if headquarters had any way to help him solve the problem.

On his way to DaJ City, Yang Jian encountered a supernatural event codenamed "Ghost Pinch" on the plane and obtained the ghost hand from the Soul Bottle.

Then came the incident involving the ghost messengers at the training base.

With its headquarters located in Greater J City, it is known as the safest place in all of China. Some ghost tamers even joke that no vengeful ghost can be allowed into Greater J City.

No one could have imagined that in the short period of time that the city of J would be hit by a series of supernatural events, and that they would be extremely terrifying.

The incident involving the ghost messengers at the training base, in particular, is practically a bug in the system; if not handled properly, it could become a catastrophe of annihilation.

Unsolvable suppression, single-target restart, guaranteed kill when alone, and it also comes with an extremely powerful ghost domain...

Simply put, the ability of a ghost messenger is to suppress vengeful spirits, and each time they suppress one, they become stronger. Whether it is a vengeful spirit controlled by a ghost tamer or a fully resurrected vengeful spirit, as long as its status is higher than yours, it is an unsolvable suppression.

Its growth potential is in no way weaker than that of a starving ghost.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a ghost tamer were to control a ghost messenger, it would mean the end of the supernatural era.

Unfortunately, the ghost messengers cannot be fully controlled in a true sense.

In the original timeline, even Wang Xiaoming, an internationally renowned professor of paranormal studies, and Qin Lao, the most outstanding ghost tamer of the contemporary era, only managed to develop Wei Jing into a half-finished product.

Therefore, Lu Ming had no intention of getting involved in this mess.

Someone previously suggested that the Ghost Chest could help control the Ghost Messengers.

Lu Ming felt that this approach was unrealistic.

Although the Ghost Cabinet follows the rules, it will never grant requests that exceed its capabilities.

This is like wishing to a wishing ghost to end the entire supernatural era—it's impossible.

"Although I don't intend to mess with ghost messengers, I'm afraid I'll still have to go to Da J City this time." If Lu Ming remembers correctly, there will be a ghost tamer named Qian Yi in Da J City this time. His vengeful ghost is a pair of red embroidered shoes on its feet, which is one of the puzzle pieces of the ghost bride.

Lu Ming's main purpose in going to J City this time was to help the ghost bride retrieve the pair of red embroidered shoes.

···········
Coincidentally.

The next day, Lu Ming received news that headquarters had offered him a ghost candle in exchange for serving as a lecturer in Da J City, where he would share his experience and insights on handling paranormal events with other ghost handlers at the training base.

He was only to serve as a lecturer as a social ghost tamer, and was not required to join the headquarters.

It sounds unbelievable that you could get a ghost candle as a reward just for this.

After all, strategic resources like the Ghost Candle are something that Ghost Masters like Yang Jian have to risk their lives on the front lines to obtain. Lu Ming, on the other hand, is considered a top Ghost Master, but this time he obtained it without making any contribution and without lifting a finger. Why is that?
There are only two possibilities for headquarters to do this.

Either this ghost candle is a signal from headquarters that they want to reconcile with Lu Ming, or...

Or perhaps this was a trap set for Lu Ming, intended to teach him a lesson, which is why the headquarters was unusually magnanimous for once.

Based on Lu Ming's understanding of headquarters, the latter possibility is more likely.

"If we settle this, I won't make things difficult. But if it's the latter... headquarters wouldn't be foolish enough to take direct action against me. Whether from a risk perspective or from the perspective of public opinion in the paranormal community, it's not worth it to directly retaliate."

Lu Ming shook his head. There was no need to keep dwelling on things that he couldn't understand just by thinking about them.

He accepted the headquarters' invitation without hesitation.

Firstly, his identity as a lecturer at the training base could conveniently conceal his true purpose for going to Greater J City.

Secondly, Lu Ming also wanted to see what the headquarters was really up to.

···········
Greater J City.

The Asia branch of the Ghost Riders headquarters.

In a separate office, Vice Minister Cao Yanhua was handling his work.

Normally, unless there's something really important, they wouldn't let him, the deputy minister, personally get involved.

After all, at Cao Yanhua's level, he usually deals with macro-level regulation.

During a work break, Cao Yanhua took a sip of tea with a stern face. Only after Lu Ming's reply arrived did the serious-looking deputy minister seem to relax a bit, as if a matter had been put to rest.

"This Lu isn't an ungrateful person. When he comes to J City, we'll give him a good talking-to first, and then see if his attitude changes. We don't expect him to work for headquarters. Just getting him to return the vengeful ghost from the Caesars Hotel and guard his own little territory would be the greatest contribution to us."

"As long as this can be achieved, it's not impossible to relax the other conditions a bit."

Cao Yanhua sensed that things were going well, so his attitude towards Lu Ming softened a bit. In his mind, Lu Ming was at a very high level, comparable to some of the reserve team leaders at headquarters.

If they can truly guarantee not to cause trouble or create problems, and even lend a hand at crucial moments, that would be wonderful.
