Controlling the Ghost Who Pulls People Away, Her Disappearance
Chapter 225 Controlling the Ghost Who Pulls People Away, Her Disappearance (4k)
The messengers on the second floor of the post office were on the verge of collapse and could offer almost no help.
Moreover, the supernatural entities within Li Yang's body were also affected by the ghost that was pulling people away, and began to become restless.
In this situation, the only one who can truly change the course of events is Lu Ming himself.
The situation on the scene was extremely tense, almost to the point of drawing swords.
Suddenly, a loud bang shattered the silence.
The tightly closed wooden door was pushed open a crack, and a chilling coldness seeped out, mixed with a faint smell of decay.
Before anyone could react, a withered arm reached out and grabbed a messenger outside the corridor, pulling him into the room just like before.
A scream rang out, accompanied by the faint, grating sound of sharp fingernails scraping against the wooden floor.
Death came without warning, and the messengers realized that in the eyes of that ghost, they were beings who could take lives at will, utterly insignificant.
This is far from the end; it's just the beginning.
Screams echoed through the closed-off ghost post office; the scene was like hell itself.
Perhaps, being killed by the ghost from the very beginning would have been a better ending.
Because the messengers who died later didn't even know what had happened, they were hung by their necks by old straw ropes that fell from the sky, dangling back and forth in mid-air like teru teru bozu dolls.
The corpses, their eyes wide open, were hanging in the air. Judging from their postures, they were making their last struggles before they breathed their last.
But under such a supernatural attack, all struggles were in vain; their breath had vanished, and their bodies were rapidly growing cold.
Lu Ming coldly observed everything, his eyes icy, and no pity arose in his heart.
He was well aware, of course, that these messengers were innocent and had been forced to come here.
No one would willingly become a messenger.
However, keeping them out there to deliver messages would trigger one supernatural event after another, causing more innocent people to be involved.
When it comes to paranormal events, it's often difficult to find a solution that satisfies both sides.
Lu Ming had already seen these things very clearly.
As the number of messengers on the second floor gradually decreased, a great fear spread in everyone's heart.
At this moment, they no longer cared about questioning Lu Ming's "reckless" act of tearing up the letter; everyone was on edge, worried that they would be the next target of the ghost's attack.
Just then, Li Yang, who was standing next to Lu Ming, suddenly spoke up. His face was pale and he looked extremely pained.
"Captain, I can't hold on much longer. The vengeful spirit inside me could revive at any moment... Also, I'm sure I'll be its next target."
"You can feel it?"
"I can feel it, and the feeling is very strong; it's not an illusion."
The next moment, a terrifying pull came from the dark crack in the door. The door closest to Li Yang opened again, and a strange, supernatural force was pulling Li Yang in.
Whether that withered arm extends or not makes no difference to the final outcome.
Ultimately, the vengeful spirits that Lu Ming and his companions saw were merely a kind of supernatural phenomenon, or rather, a manifestation of a certain rule.
Sun Rui was shocked. He didn't know Li Yang well enough and hadn't been involved in the ghost feast incident before.
It's not that I don't know why the supernatural entity inside Li Yang reacted so strongly, but that's normal.
"It's over. In this unstable situation, being attacked by a vengeful ghost is likely to be extremely dangerous..."
The reason why ghost tamers are different from ordinary people is because of the fierce ghosts they control within their bodies.
If those who control ghosts cannot use supernatural abilities, then they will be no different from ordinary people, or even worse, as their consciousness will dissipate directly within their bodies, which are already eroded by supernatural forces.
Just like Li Yang's current situation.
It's true that he controlled three vengeful spirits, but he can't use any of his supernatural abilities right now.
Once dragged into the room by the ghost, they will be killed instantly, just like the other messengers.
However, Lu Ming made a move.
A foul-smelling drop of water fell from the edge of his white mourning clothes.
What then appeared in Lu Ming's hand was a golden umbrella.
No, it's not accurate to say that this is an umbrella made of gold.
The golden umbrella is quite different from Sun Rui's golden cane.
Aside from the gold covering its surface, the umbrella itself is extremely old and is itself a terrifying ghost, not to mention that a rusty machete is fused to the tip of the umbrella.
the other side.
At this moment, Li Yang, who had been pulled into the room by that supernatural force, felt a chill run through his body.
A terrifying aura was eroding his body.
"Li Yang, this ghost is targeting you. There's no way to escape it now. Your only chance to survive is to control this vengeful spirit."
How to control this vengeful ghost?
Are you kidding me?
Not only Li Yang, who was involved, but even Sun Rui, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but twitch upon hearing this.
Controlling vengeful spirits is no child's play; each time requires paying a huge price and taking considerable risks.
For ghost tamers, the further they progress, the more difficult it becomes to control a new vengeful ghost, because they also need to maintain their own supernatural balance.
Li Yang had only recently mastered the third ghost, so theoretically, there was no possibility that he could master the fourth one.
But Li Yang had no time to think. After Lu Ming informed him, he used Ghost Domain to invade the darkness in the crevice.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yang's eyes bulged, and a sharp pain made him scream.
Beneath his skin, a terrifying humanoid silhouette writhed and bulged, as if it wanted to tear his body apart alive.
Lu Ming ignored all the rules and restrictions and directly sent the ghost into Li Yang's body.
This ghost is quite terrifying and cannot be easily controlled.
Moreover, controlling a vengeful spirit is not simply a matter of sending the spirit into the body of the spirit controller.
This requires a rather complicated process.
It doesn't mean that surviving a supernatural attack by a vengeful ghost makes one a ghost tamer.
"Captain, I can't do it!"
Li Yang's eyes bulged out, almost leaving their sockets, and the pain made his voice tremble heavily.
"Just like last time, draw a door on the surface of your body, and then use the supernatural power of the door-blocking ghost to block the ghost inside your body and try to create balance."
Because of the intense pain, Li Yang did not answer, but he still tried as Lu Ming had instructed.
Heart-wrenching screams of pain came from a room on the second floor.
Li Yang was rolling around on the ground frantically, completely losing his composure.
The pain of having a vengeful ghost forced into one's body is unbearable for a living person. As time passed, the skin on Li Yang's body began to wrinkle, and the outline of a human face vaguely appeared.
That supernatural force was seizing control of Li Yang's body.
If Li Yang fails, his consciousness will completely dissipate, leaving him a cold corpse.
Sun Rui asked, "Captain Lu, is he likely to survive?"
"If we leave them like this, they definitely won't survive."
Lu Ming spoke calmly, as if he were stating a trivial matter.
Because that is indeed the case.
The three ghosts within Li Yang's body have reached a balance, and have almost reached the limit he can withstand.
If a fourth demon is added now, the original system will inevitably collapse, and a new system cannot be established. The final result is self-evident.
Of course, this is assuming that Lu Ming does not interfere.
As Lu Ming raised his hand, he held up the golden umbrella.
The rusty tip of the golden umbrella, imbued with a terrifying eeriness, instantly dismembered the ghost pulling people from Li Yang's body.
The terror level of the ghost that pulls people away is not low; it is much stronger than that of ordinary vengeful ghosts.
However, due to the dismembering effect of the golden umbrella, the ghost's supernatural power immediately fell silent.
In professional terms, the Ghost that pulls people in was rendered useless by this one strike.
The pain Li Yang felt was greatly relieved. Although the supernatural struggle still existed and the process of controlling it was not over, his current condition was much better.
Li Yang, mimicking Lu Ming's actions from last time, took off his shirt, revealing his body covered in lividity.
Then he casually picked up a rusty steel pipe and used its sharp barbs to draw a bloody path across his chest.
Although the design is extremely simple, it at least resembles a door.
The supernatural phenomenon of the ghost blocking the door was triggered.
Li Yang's body was used as a medium to imprison the dismembered Ravenous Ghost within his body.
The next moment, the ghost pulling people out of Li Yang's body began to subside rapidly, like ripples on the surface of water, gradually sinking and no longer able to try to tear his body apart or break free.
What did he do?
"There's no movement in the room... Is that person dead?"
"No, he's not dead. We can still hear him. It seems the situation has been brought under control."
"..."
The other messengers, who were luckier and didn't die in the first supernatural attack, were now looking at Lu Ming with the eyes of someone looking at a monster, and were talking amongst themselves.
They couldn't see what was happening in the room through the thick, mercury-like darkness.
Therefore, there is only speculation about Lu Ming and Li Yang.
In their eyes, this guy was terrifying. He only raised the golden umbrella in his hand, without even waving it, and yet he could have such a great effect on a terrifying ghost.
It's hard to imagine how miserable the fate of an ordinary ghost tamer would be if Lu Ming were to use this golden umbrella against them.
Sun Rui's eyes flickered, and he swallowed back the words he had wanted to say.
have nothing to say.
There's really not much to say.
From the moment Lu Ming entered Dahan City until now, the most profound thing Sun Rui realized was that he had to unconditionally obey Lu Ming's orders.
In any case, Lu Ming has never made a wrong decision.
He must be absolutely certain that he can tear up letters, even red ones.
After all, someone like Lu Ming, who is beyond the imagination of ordinary ghost tamers, could definitely not be a reckless fool.
After a moment, Li Yang shakily stood up from the ground.
His body was completely cold, devoid of any warmth, and covered in lividity. His eyes were also murky and terrifyingly gloomy, unlike those of a normal living person.
Regardless, Li Yang survived.
Moreover, as a Ghost Master who now commands four ghosts, he possesses captain-level combat power, making him a truly top-tier Ghost Master.
Through Lu Ming's efforts, Li Yang's potential was greatly unlocked.
"The three ghosts maintained a delicate balance, while the fourth ghost, which was pulling people away, was dismembered and suppressed by the golden umbrella, and the supernatural forces would not erode Li Yang's body..."
Lu Ming's seemingly ordinary slash actually concealed a hidden secret.
Even if the ghost that pulls people away is temporarily dismembered, it can quickly return to its original state and affect Li Yang again.
Therefore, Lu Ming did not unleash a single strike, but rather four strikes in succession.
The four strikes were not delivered simultaneously or superimposed; rather, a time difference was deliberately created.
A system crash is only a temporary state. Even a vengeful ghost that crashes can be revived one day. At most, it can be considered relatively stable.
Once the ghostly entity within Li Yang recovers from its malfunction, the second strike will dismember it once more...
Although dismembering a vengeful ghost in this way can only last for three or four months, three or four months is already a long time for a ghost tamer.
Most demon tamers who only control one demon don't have the chance to live that long.
Moreover, it's not to say that Li Yang will necessarily die from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost after three or four months.
During this time, he can also think of other ways to solve his own problems.
Not long after Li Yang left the room, the sound of clattering began.
The sound of high heels hitting the wooden board was hollow, stiff, and cold.
All the messengers' expressions changed.
They had just witnessed just how terrifying this vengeful ghost in high heels truly was. Anyone targeted by this ghost would not only die, but would invariably suffer a gruesome death.
Lu Ming dealt with the ghost that pulled people away with ease, so how would he deal with this vengeful ghost?
In contrast, Lu Ming was calmer than anyone else, seemingly unconcerned about the existence of the vengeful ghost in high heels.
Unless it's an existence whose terror level truly reaches S-class, there's nothing that the Golden Umbrella can't resolve with a single strike.
The ghost bride didn't even need to lift a finger.
If the golden umbrella can't solve the problem with a single strike, then use the mirror world to amplify the supernatural attacks, significantly increasing the level of terror in a short period of time.
If this still fails to dismember the vengeful spirit, then use the umbrella's own ghostly domain to imprison it.
After obtaining his own supernatural weapon, Lu Ming experienced the joy of mindless combos.
To his surprise, the sound of high heels wasn't approaching them; instead, it was gradually moving away.
The ghost seemed to instinctively sense some kind of danger, so it did not continue its attack but chose to leave.
