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

Chapter 97 Taking the Initiative (Ten Chapters, Seeking First Subscription!)
Have you ever encountered any particularly memorable terrifying events in your life?
The question immediately piqued the interest of everyone present, and they began to share their thoughts one after another.

After all, topics that sound exciting and that everyone can say something about are perfect for livening up the atmosphere.

When asked about Lu Ming, he thought for a moment but couldn't think of a suitable answer, so he just said casually, "Sometimes when I go to the bathroom at night, I see myself in the mirror in the dim light and I get a fright. As for scary things... in my experience, there are very few things that are scarier than myself."

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at Lu Ming in disbelief before bursting into laughter, filling the hot pot restaurant with a joyful atmosphere.

"Lu Jun, you still love to joke around as always."

Lu Ming gave him a stiff smile in response.

It's understandable that people don't believe him when he says this, because no one could possibly imagine that Lu Ming's body is controlled by several ghosts.

However, Lu Ming was just saying it casually and didn't intend for anyone to actually believe it.

Finally, it was Jian Er's turn to speak.

He spoke with feigned seriousness, lowering his voice, "I have a friend who, because he was looking for a cheap place, moved into a house where someone had died. One night, while washing his hair alone at home, he closed his eyes and felt the water running over his head... Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong; a cold, eerie hand landed on his back..."

Seeing Jian Er's very serious expression, everyone crowded closer to listen attentively.

Suddenly, Yumi Nakamura felt a chill run down her spine, as if something unclean had come to her.

A pale, cold, bloodless hand rested on Nakamura Yumi's shoulder.

Nakamura Yumi, who was engrossed in Kenji's narration, almost cried out in surprise.

It wasn't until she turned her head that she realized it was none other than her former classmate, Yangzi.

Yoko was dressed in a black funeral gown and looked sad. It turned out that she had just attended the funeral of her junior, Rina.

Seeing this scene, many details about ghost calls resurfaced in Lu Ming's mind.

These people in front of us have basically been added to the killer list of the ghost caller. Starting with the first victim, after the ghost kills the victim, it will continue to make calls using the victim's phone. The next victim is randomly selected from the previous victim's phone contacts.

"The real vengeful ghost is actually Mizunuma Mimiko, a deceased little girl... She suffered from feigned substitution syndrome, a mental illness in which sufferers often intentionally harm those around them to attract attention. Mizunuma Mimiko was her younger sister, Zetsuko, who had abused her for years. Every time her mother took her sister to the hospital, she would stuff a red candy into her sister's mouth..."

"Until one day, Mizunuma Mimiko hurt her younger sister Zetsuko. When their mother took the younger sister to the hospital, Mizunuma Mimiko suddenly fell ill. Her mother, who was completely disappointed in Mimiko, gritted her teeth and gave up on saving Mimiko, and turned away."

The rest of the plot is pretty standard.

Mizunuma Mimiko transforms into a vengeful ghost and begins her "revenge," killing not only her mother and sister but also the nurses in the hospital, and spreading the curse outwards.

The plot of someone becoming a vengeful ghost to seek revenge due to injustice is so classic that Lu Ming found it uninteresting.

This kind of vengeful ghost with emotions is ultimately not as terrifying as the ghost in the mysterious resurgence that kills according to a completely predictable pattern.

And to be honest, he didn't understand what Mimiko had to be revenge for.

She was the one who initially harmed others, and after becoming a vengeful ghost, Mimiko killed people indiscriminately. Anyone who appeared in the victim's contact list, even if they had no connection with her, she would kill them. The claim that she was seeking revenge is completely unfounded.

After understanding Mizunuma Mimiko's pattern of killings, Lu Ming also had a general idea in mind.

"Since the ghost dials numbers in the victim's address book, I might be able to tamper with those numbers to indirectly control the next victim."

Lu Ming had no idea where the other team of challengers who had entered the instance were. If they didn't use the Ghost Domain for a large-scale search, it was very likely that the two teams of challengers would never have met.

The competition is about who can survive to the end under the shadow of the vengeful ghost.

This should be the original intention of the God Space in setting up this competitive instance.

But Lu Ming didn't want to be led by the nose.

"To be fair, and to make it harder to survive, the phone numbers of challengers entering the instance must have already been saved in the main characters' contact lists... just like Huangshan Village at the beginning of the Mountain Village Corpse instance, directly forcing them to accept the curse."

Upon realizing this, Lu Ming checked his pocket and found an old-fashioned cell phone, a Panasonic GD55 model, with a very small screen and physical buttons. It had a SIM card inserted, and among all the information, only the name was real.

He made up his mind, put his phone down, stood up and said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."

Jiang Zi and Gao Zheming in the team both knew that the captain was about to take action.

As is customary, once inside the instance, they will each gather information and then meet to exchange and discuss their findings.

However, since they haven't been notified or given any hints, it means they don't need to do anything special; they can just wait quietly.

To be honest, since it was their first time teaming up with Lu Ming, they wanted to see what he was planning to do and whether he was really as reliable as Chen Xin and Wu Lei had said.

"Hey, what is this?"

While drinking, Kenji saw something that looked like ash slowly falling from the sky, so he reached out to touch it.

But before it even came into contact with the paper, the ashes had already disappeared.

"Jian Er, you must be mistaken. Are you just too tired from work?"

"Perhaps...yes."

"Come on, cheers! We don't have to work tomorrow, and it's not easy for us all to get together, so we should take this opportunity to have a good drink."

···········
the other side.

Lu Ming went into the restroom.

There was a puddle on the toilet floor. This puddle wasn't dirty, smelly water; it was actually quite clean, which made people wonder why it was there.

Lu Ming stepped inside.

The next moment, the surrounding environment changed and turned into complete darkness.

In the ghost realm, following Lu Ming's wishes, a table appeared in front of him, and the table was piled with cell phones.

These phones are outdated models; Lu Ming took them from the group of people at the table earlier.

This also included Yoko's cell phone, a classmate of Nakamura Yumi.
