Chapter 67 Manipulating the Rules (Please continue reading)

Lu Ming stood in front of Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei's courage is commendable, but such rash action could lead to the annihilation of the entire team with a single mistake.

"Yang Jian, quickly light the ghost candle."

Lu Ming remembered that Yang Jian still had a small part of the ghost candle left, and he never expected it would come in handy now.

So after Zhang Lei bought time for the group of ghost tamers, he immediately spoke up to remind them.

Yang Jian took out a scarlet ghost candle. The candle was already mostly burned, leaving uneven marks on its surface. However, the ghost's attack would be temporarily relieved before the candle burned out completely.

The ghost candle can only last for a very limited time. Once the last half of the ghost candle goes out, the rest of the people will still die.

This short delay has given Lu Ming enough time to make more arrangements.

Lu Ming knew very well that this ghost could not be imprisoned, and that perfect suppression would also cause the vengeful ghost to restart.

The only way to deal with the ghost messenger is to use the newspaper ghost to modify the ghost's perception, causing it to misjudge the number of vengeful ghosts it can suppress.

However, directly altering the ghost messenger's perception to make it believe that it can only suppress 0 vengeful ghosts will not work.

For a vengeful ghost, a bloodstained old newspaper is ultimately just a supernatural object. The time it takes to alter memories is limited. Once the ghost's restriction is lifted, the altered memories will be forcibly erased.

Therefore, the final number that should be changed is neither 0 nor 7.

Instead, it's 3.

The reason why the ghost messengers had three suppression slots from the beginning was because, at the experimental base, Li Jun drove coffin nails containing three ghosts into the ghost messengers' bodies in order to take Wang Xiaoming away.

As a result, the coffin nails not only failed to suppress the ghosts, but instead merged with them.

In other words, if Lu Ming uses the supernatural power of the blood-stained old newspaper to make the ghost messenger misjudge the number of his own suppression as 3, and then takes away the coffin nails, that is, the three ghosts, while the vengeful ghost restarts.

In this way, the ghost messenger will think that the number of ghosts he has is 0.

This misjudgment was not caused by the blood-stained old newspaper altering memories, but rather by the ghost's own misunderstanding.

Therefore, after restarting, the vengeful ghost will assume that it can suppress zero ghosts, and thus will not actively attack the ghost tamer.

“Yang Jian, Zhang Lei, come and touch this ghost. This is a new rule. Once you make contact, the previous rules will no longer apply. The vengeful ghosts inside you will be suppressed, but the ghost messengers will also have a corresponding number of vengeful ghosts suppressed.”

Lu Ming spoke very quickly, shouting at Yang Jian and Zhang Lei.

Yang Jian quickly understood Lu Ming's intention. The reason he asked him and Zhang Lei to come was because both of them had three slots for ghosts within them.

With six slots against seven, after contact, the ability to suppress the vengeful spirits controlled by the ghost messengers to a minimum, without achieving perfect suppression, will allow the ghost messengers to meet the conditions for restarting.

Yang Jian knew that this behavior was extremely dangerous, since direct contact with vengeful ghosts often led to unexpected changes.

But after only a slight hesitation, he handed the ghost candle to Huang Ziya and rushed out himself.

This is the last chance.

Seeing that Yang Jian was making a move, Zhang Lei also reached out his hand.

Both hands were placed on the ghost messenger's cold, stiff body. The touch was slightly damp, like touching the soil in a damp graveyard.

The chilling sensation traveled from their palms throughout their bodies.

They could feel that the ghosts within their bodies were being suppressed by the ghost messengers.

Correspondingly, the ghost messengers can only use the supernatural powers of one ghost at a time.

The last vengeful ghost turned its head back, just like before.

With a final, faint flicker of the flame, the red ghost candle went out completely.

Lu Ming knew that the most crucial moment had arrived, and there was nothing Zhang Lei and Yang Jian could do now.

I must withstand this supernatural attack; otherwise, if any member of the team is killed, all our previous efforts will be in vain.

He raised the white ghost candle he had prepared beforehand, lit it, and then stood behind the ghost messenger.

The ghost messenger's head had been rotated 180 degrees, and his cervical vertebrae were completely broken.

Attracted by the white ghost candle, all the supernatural attacks fell on Lu Ming.

The next moment, Lu Ming's cervical spine also rotated uncontrollably along with the ghost messenger, making a creaking sound.

If it were a normal living person, their neck, the most vulnerable part of their body, were twisted at such an exaggerated angle, and they would have been dead long ago.

But Lu Ming is still alive.

Or rather, his body was already beyond repair, and this is just adding insult to injury.

What truly threatened Lu Ming was not the physical torment, but the supernatural erosion from the ghost returning home.

The supernatural battle continued. At some point, cold water droplets began to seep from Lu Ming's hair, and his face became pale and swollen, like a drowned water ghost.

His physical condition is gradually deteriorating.

But Lu Ming couldn't care less about that anymore.

The six ghosts that the ghost messengers had were suppressed by Yang Jian and Zhang Lei through contact.

The remaining one also launched an attack on Lu Ming.

This is the best opportunity to use the blood-stained old newspapers.

Despite the ghost's relentless killing rule, Lu Ming took out the blood-stained old newspaper and placed it on the ghost messenger's cold, numb, and emotionless face.

Then, the newspaper slid off the ghost's face, along with the ghost messenger's dead face.

Lu Ming successfully removed the ghost face.

Without wasting any time, Lu Ming altered the ghost messenger's memories while saying to Yang Jian, "Yang Jian, there's a coffin nail inside the ghost messenger's body, forged from three vengeful ghosts. You must remove the coffin nail from the ghosts' bodies now..."

The coffin nail inside the ghost messenger's body was Wang Xiaoming's doing.

Some time ago, Wang Xiaoming met with Yang Jian at the training base, wanting to use this coffin nail to exchange for a period of time.

Logically speaking, Lu Ming shouldn't know about this level of secrecy.

But he not only knew of the coffin nail's existence, he also knew that the formation of the ghost messengers was related to this coffin nail...

It sounds unbelievable, but Yang Jian couldn't think about it for the time being. He could only assume that Lu Ming had connections everywhere.

The ghost, having lost its ability to move, could not meet the conditions for restarting. At this moment, the ghost messenger had no facial features and stood motionless in place, like a lifeless, stiff corpse.

The opportunity before us must not be wasted.

Lu Ming altered the blood-stained old newspaper, changing the number of slots the ghost messenger believed he had to have to be "3", and then returned the ghost face on the old newspaper.

Although he had already made a complete plan in his mind, Lu Ming still couldn't help but feel a little nervous after doing all this.

The other ghost controllers stared intently at the ghost messengers, a sense of unease creeping into their hearts.

No one knows what will happen next.
