Chapter 227 Blood Rains from the Sky, Ghosts Cry in the Night! (4k)
Suburbs of Dachang City.
After leaving the Ghost Post Office, Lu Ming used his Ghost Domain to arrive here.
The messengers on the third floor deliver mail at relatively long intervals, and Lu Ming has already put away the red letter, so there's no need to worry about security for the time being.
Just to be on the safe side, Lu Ming left Xiao Fujiang, who was wearing a bright red floral jacket, inside the Ghost Post Office. If anything happened, Xiao Fujiang would notice immediately, and Lu Ming could rush back right away.
···········
There was a highway here, but it had been abandoned and closed off.
After Yan Li died, a blood pool formed in this place. The blood pool affected the surrounding land, dyeing everything red, even the sky turned crimson, which looked extremely eerie.
Moreover, as time goes on, the influence of this blood pool on the surrounding area continues to expand.
Lu Ming stepped onto the red soil, feeling its dampness. With each step, it felt as if he were sinking into it.
However, he was not attacked by supernatural forces or affected in any other way.
Because at this moment, there was a ghostly domain that Lu Ming himself created between him and the land, which isolated him from supernatural influences.
“There are many terrifying aspects to Dachang City. Although nothing has happened yet, they are all potential dangers.”
"However, the black umbrellas in the suburbs have become my supernatural weapons, and now all that's out in the open is this pool of blood on the highway..."
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming had arrived not far from the blood pool.
This place has been neglected for a long time, and due to supernatural influences, the plants are growing very lushly, almost like a forest in an uninhabited area.
Even more terrifying, distorted human faces were appearing on the surrounding tree trunks. The features of these faces were not clear and the edges were very blurry, but if they were allowed to grow like this, they would become real ghost slaves.
Although ghost slaves are not vengeful ghosts, but rather a derivative of the supernatural, they still pose a deadly threat to ordinary people.
As Lu Ming approached the blood pool to a certain extent, he heard a series of "splashing" sounds, and many shadows flashed by.
Normal people might not be able to see what those things are, but Lu Ming can sense the existence of these shadows by relying on the supernatural power within him.
These are blood corpses, which look like ordinary people who have died, but their skin has been peeled off, leaving them covered in blood.
After Lu Ming appeared, the blood corpses seemed to be disturbed and rushed to jump into the blood pool.
Lu Ming's expression shifted slightly. A golden umbrella with a pitted surface appeared in his right hand, while he held the ghost bride's hand in his left.
With a single thought, even at great speed, one of the blood-soaked corpses was intercepted, and the cleaver was strangely dismembered in an instant.
A complete corpse lay scattered on the ground in pieces.
Lu Ming glanced at it, and after confirming that it posed no threat to him, he stopped paying attention to it.
However, to Lu Ming's surprise, the blood corpse did not disappear immediately after he dismembered it.
The remaining mass of rotten flesh was still wriggling, trying to piece itself back together, as if it were something that could not be easily killed.
"Ok?"
Lu Ming was very surprised.
The umbrella, fused with the ghost-slaying knife, can even dismember a real vengeful ghost. If it were just dealing with a supernatural derivative, it should be no problem at all.
However, this ordinary blood corpse, after being tainted with the supernatural power of ghost blood, actually possessed certain characteristics similar to a real vengeful ghost.
"A seemingly weak blood corpse actually possesses the potential to contend with top-tier supernatural entities in the supernatural world. Indeed, some things in the supernatural world cannot be arbitrarily classified as superior or inferior; one must consider their supernatural characteristics."
Lu Ming shook his head and ultimately did not stay there for too long.
He walked through the blood-stained red grass and arrived at the pool of blood.
The ghost blood in the blood pool didn't look deep, but like the water Lu Ming was controlling, it was a shallow layer, and the bottom was unfathomable.
Lu Ming had a premonition that if he accidentally fell into the blood pool, he would be trapped there forever, which would be even worse than falling into the ghost lake.
Moreover, the suppressive properties of ghost blood are far stronger than those of supernatural accumulated water; the two are simply incomparable.
"If he can survive and maintain his condition, Yan Li could very well become the next captain."
The ghost blood that appeared in the early stages of the full-blown outbreak of supernatural phenomena is definitely not as simple as many people think.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a top-tier form of the supernatural.
However, there is a major problem with ghost blood: it is very difficult for a ghost tamer who controls ghost blood to control a second vengeful ghost.
Simultaneously controlling two vengeful spirits to achieve a balance of supernatural forces within the body is inherently a very difficult task.
This is especially true for demon tamers who have harnessed demon blood.
But Lu Ming doesn't need to worry about that now.
Because he never even considered controlling the demon blood.
The ghost blood in the blood pool was merely an aid, helping him suppress the demon imprisoned in the golden umbrella, thus maintaining the balance of this supernatural weapon.
It's similar to how Lu Ming uses ghost blood as a tool to clean the curse on the ghost scissors.
After a moment's thought, Lu Ming handed the golden umbrella he was holding in his right hand to the ghost bride.
In the end, Lu Ming entrusted the task of suppressing the ghost to the ghost bride.
Lu Ming would not personally attempt situations that might pose a danger.
The ghost bride cannot be killed and is even more terrifying, so entrusting her with the task is undoubtedly a better decision.
A human and a ghost, one in red and one in white, arrived together at the blood pool. After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, the ghost bride opened her umbrella and placed it on the surface of the blood pool.
In the blink of an eye, the golden umbrella placed on the surface of the blood pool underwent a new change.
The black umbrella fabric first turned into a pattern of red and green, like the old costumes worn by actors.
Those patterns didn't last long; they were quickly washed away by the ghost's blood, like filth.
These wisps of colorful filth spread throughout the blood pool without causing any impact. Before the color of the entire blood pool could change, they had already completely dissipated without a trace.
"As expected, Ghost Blood was able to easily resolve the issue with the Black Umbrella, and the Playful Ghost was temporarily suppressed, just as anticipated..."
“I can feel that part of the terrifying curse on it has dissipated.”
Lu Ming was about to ask the ghost bride to take out the umbrella, but then he noticed something was wrong.
A strange supernatural force in the blood pool firmly adhered to the umbrella's surface. The ghost bride gripped the handle, but couldn't pull it up.
The ghost blood seeped into the umbrella surface, quickly spreading and turning the entire black umbrella surface into a bright red, blood-like color. The ghost blood covered the surface like a layer of bright red paint, turning the originally black umbrella into a completely red umbrella.
This red color is not a simple cover-up, because it cannot be faded at all. To put it simply, the entire umbrella fabric has turned completely red, presenting a scarlet patch.
Lu Ming was startled. This was a completely unexpected change. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but the change had already begun and he couldn't stop it.
"Waaaaah~"
It was as if a female ghost was hiding somewhere, wailing mournfully, and the outlines of ghost faces appeared on the originally smooth and flat umbrella surface and the calm surface of the blood pool.
At first it was blurry, but then it gradually became clearer. This anomaly sent a chill down Lu Ming's spine.
The supernatural entities within him were also affected by this anomaly.
There was no wind, but the white mourning clothes Lu Ming was wearing and the bright red veil on the ghost bride's head swayed slightly together.
Even Lu Ming's facial expression twisted uncontrollably, as if he had remembered something very sad, and he sobbed.
The surrounding environment was affected as well, with bloody corpses falling into the pool one by one, and the wind around them sounding like howling.
"What's going on? It feels like everything is out of control. If this continues, I'm afraid even the vengeful spirit within me will be revived."
The problem of vengeful spirits resurrecting has always been a source of trouble for all spirit tamers.
However, thanks to his superhuman mental strength, Lu Ming hasn't felt what it's like for a vengeful ghost to resurrect for a long time.
Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be much more stable than the average ghost tamer.
But now, the strange agitation within Lu Ming's body is clear and intense.
First came the wailing ghosts at the graves, then it spread throughout the body.
A deep, ghostly well suddenly appeared not far away, and Sadako, with her long hair cascading down her forehead and still dripping foul-smelling water droplets, crawled out of the well.
The small part of her face that was visible looked extremely resentful, with pale eyes and long, sharp, blue fingernails.
The sky was crimson, the clouds parted, and a light drizzle began to fall.
At first, it was normal rainwater, but it quickly became murky and foul-smelling, and then it turned red, forming a terrible blood rain.
···········
Dachang City.
"Look over there... It's raining?!"
"Are you kidding me? Rain doesn't fall like that! It's like there's a clearly defined boundary; it's raining inside that boundary, but outside it's still sunny..."
"Is that the point? Shouldn't the point be the color of the rain?"
Passersby discussed the scene amongst themselves, clearly able to see the bloody rain falling in the suburbs.
Such a scene is terrifying and cannot be explained by science at all, easily leading people to think of supernatural things.
However, this is only the beginning.
Just as they took out their phones to capture this once-in-a-century scene, a mournful cry suddenly rang out.
The crying was faint and hollow, as if it were a woman sobbing.
What chilled everyone was that they had no idea where the crying was coming from.
It seemed as if the ghost was everywhere, or as if it were perched on their shoulders, crying only at them.
the other side.
Shangtong Building.
Yang Jian noticed the unusual situation in the suburbs and his expression changed.
"A ghostly rain that blanketed the entire area, and this wailing sound like a grave-wailing lament..."
Based on a few key pieces of information, Yang Jian's mind conjured up the image of Lu Ming.
"Was this caused by Lu Ming again?"
"But why did the ghost rain turn blood red?"
There was one thing Yang Jian didn't say: the red ghost rain felt very familiar to him, just like... the ghost blood that Yan Li had controlled back then.
"Could it be that Lu Ming is trying to control the ghost blood?"
After roughly determining the direction of the rain, Yang Jian confirmed that it was on the highway where Yan Li had the accident, which further confirmed his suspicions.
"What a joke... Ghost blood has extremely unique properties and is generally very difficult to control. Why would Lu Ming suddenly think of controlling ghost blood?"
Yang Jian's eyes flickered as he pondered, considering some recent rumors.
···········
And right in the suburbs of Dachang City, at the very center of the blood rain.
Lu Ming's expression was contorted with pain.
He was affected by the supernatural and had to keep crying.
If at the beginning he was just crying, then later, Lu Ming truly felt immense pain.
Pat pat pat pat!
Raindrops pattered on the calm blood pool, causing ripples to spread across its surface.
The bloodied corpses were completely still, perhaps sinking to the bottom, or perhaps falling into the depths of the blood pool, and being sent to some terrifying, supernatural place.
Actually, using the term "blood pool" is not accurate now.
Because the original small pond has disappeared.
As the blood rain continued to replenish the pool, it filled up and then spread out in all directions.
Soon, the water at Lu Ming's feet had turned completely red.
It's eerie, terrifying, and chilling.
Lu Ming was crying, and the female ghost, hidden somewhere, was also wailing. The sounds came from all directions, intertwining and echoing endlessly…
pat!pat!
Footsteps approached, as if something was walking in the rain, but Lu Ming didn't move at all.
Looking around, through the thin veil of rain, apart from two figures, one in red and one in white, there was indeed nothing else to see.
"Damn it..."
Lu Ming cursed inwardly.
I've had good luck on every adventure so far, but that doesn't mean it will always be that way.
This time, he only wanted to use the ghost blood in the blood pool to wash away the ghost patterns on the surface of the black umbrella.
But when these supernatural phenomena collided, an even more bizarre change occurred.
If nothing is done and the supernatural forces within him are allowed to revive, even if Lu Ming's mental strength is strong, his consciousness will be gradually eroded and erased, eventually turning him into a vengeful ghost wandering in a rain of blood while holding an umbrella.
At that time, not only China, but the entire paranormal community will probably be shaken.
The supernatural events that occurred at that time were absolutely terrifying, exceeding S-level. Even a group of top-tier ghost tamers working together couldn't handle them; they were truly unsolvable.
If other captains or higher-ranking figures witnessed this scene, they would be absolutely amazed.
Blood rains from the sky, ghosts weep in the night!
