Chapter 233 The Truth of the High-Dimensional God Space: A Powerful Invasion! The Ghost Bridegroom Who Makes the Higher-ups Fearful (4k)
When Tang Song realized that Lu Ming was not just talking casually or putting on an act to scare him, but really wanted to kill him, he couldn't help but tremble.
This is the most primal fear. When you really get to this point, saying things like "remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses before you" is just nonsense.
He could clearly feel the killing intent in Lu Ming's eyes.
His own supernatural abilities were completely suppressed, leaving him no room to resist... Moreover, even if he could resist, Tang Song had no confidence in withstanding a single attack from Lu Ming.
"Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu..."
Tang Song wanted to beg for mercy, but he found his voice trembling uncontrollably. Moreover, as soon as he uttered the words "President Lu," he was overwhelmed and unable to say anything.
A chilling sensation crept up Tang Song's spine from his back, and he lost all feeling in his limbs, feeling as if he had become a cold corpse.
Even my vision began to blur and darken, everything in front of me appeared double...
The concept of time has disappeared.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Song, who thought he was dead, suddenly woke up, gasping for breath, his pupils contracted, and he was in a state of extreme terror.
"I'm alive?!"
He looked at his body in disbelief.
He would never forget that feeling for the rest of his life.
It really felt like I had just walked through the gates of hell.
Lu Ming was still standing not far away from him, but the terrible rain of blood had stopped, and the ghost bride beside Lu Ming had disappeared.
"What just happened was definitely not an illusion. The feeling was so real. He could kill me as easily as crushing an ant... I don't know why, but I was given a chance to live, and I must seize this opportunity."
Tang Song was not stupid and quickly realized what was going on.
He quickly told Lu Ming, "President Lu, please feel free to ask me anything. I will answer all your questions to the best of my ability."
Lu Ming nodded. He had just changed his mind and kept Tang Song behind to get some information.
As for whether Tang Song would do something bad behind his back, he didn't need to worry about that.
After all, he's just a nobody; no matter how much he jumps around, he can't stir up any trouble.
For example, Lu Ming had just allowed the ghost blood to invade Tang Song's body. With just a thought, the drop of ghost blood in Tang Song's body would spread throughout his body, killing him in the fastest way possible.
"What is the Central Chamber of Commerce? And what is your real purpose in inviting me?"
"The Central Chamber of Commerce... is just the name of an organization. In fact, we are not a chamber of commerce in the strict sense, but a large organization hidden in the high-dimensional God Space."
Tang Song carefully crafted his words, fearing that Lu Ming might misunderstand and think that he was deliberately concealing information.
"This space is not what most challengers think. The main city is just a dilapidated urban area... There are many dark things here that ordinary challengers cannot access, and it even involves many inhumane dealings."
Hearing this, Lu Ming became somewhat interested.
Because this was a question he had had before.
Why is the main city of the high-dimensional main city space such a dilapidated urban area?
With the capabilities of the main city, building a magnificent city is something that can be accomplished with just a thought.
There is absolutely no need to make the environment so harsh.
Even if the main city has this kind of penchant, the rest are hidden in the shadows. Truly powerful challengers can change the situation here, instead of turning the main city into a slum.
Tell me about it.
Tang Song glanced at Lu Ming cautiously, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Lu, words may not be able to accurately describe it to you. If you have no objection, I would like to take you to see the truth of this world for yourself."
"Lead the way, my time is limited."
As I said before, Lu Ming was not afraid of Tang Song's tricks, nor was he afraid that Tang Song would take him to the so-called Central Chamber of Commerce's lair.
If this guy is really that stupid, then it won't be Lu Ming who suffers, but the entire Central Chamber of Commerce.
···········
The two walked through the old city and soon came to a dilapidated alley.
The alley is lined with dilapidated low walls, and the sky above looks like it was artificially laid out, cloudless and low, creating a sense of oppression. Being there feels like being in a prison.
Even in Lu Ming's previous world, such an environment would be considered quite poor.
Not to mention, here, every challenger can create a temporary dwelling based on their own imagination.
However, after the Tang and Song dynasties reached a certain boundary, a turning point occurred.
The low-rise houses and dilapidated streets have all disappeared.
Instead, there are towering buildings and a vast sky.
Here, there is no distinction between day and night. Under the vast sky, neon lights glitter, and pedestrians come and go in an endless stream. This scene gives people the feeling of a futuristic city full of technological sophistication.
However, upon closer inspection, one will discover the strangeness and inconsistency within it.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, but their appearances were almost too exquisite. They were all God's favorites, with sculpted features and porcelain-white skin.
If any one of these pedestrians were taken out and placed in Lu Ming's original world, they could become a star or a supermodel.
But putting all the people together, with their blank expressions and lifeless walking, talking, and working, creates a strong sense of strangeness that makes people uncomfortable.
Lu Ming had heard of this phenomenon before in his previous world; it was called the uncanny valley effect.
This means that people's affinity for other non-human objects increases as their similarity to humans increases.
However, once the similarity exceeds a certain threshold, it can cause intense discomfort or even fear.
That's the situation right now.
Of course, the people walking around in this special city are not real living people.
In the language of the mysterious resurrection world, these people are formed by the supernatural, are resurrected dead, or even fictional characters that never existed.
They looked so much like real people, yet subtle differences made their strangeness easily noticeable...
The strangest thing is that Lu Ming even sensed several familiar beings through supernatural means.
One of them was a burly man wearing a mask.
It was none other than Jason, the infamous Crystal Lake assassin from the American Horror Story franchise.
After exchanging ideas with Tang Song, Lu Ming gained a general understanding of the structure of this world.
Here, the strongest group of challengers in the entire high-dimensional main god space have gathered.
Those pedestrians were formed from high-level abilities, like puppets.
The reason such a place exists is because there was a certain error in the operation of the Main God Space, just like the Ghost Post Office in the Mysterious Revival World.
Therefore, some instances will be abandoned, and some vengeful spirits will come to this space from the instances.
In order to control these vengeful spirits, such a city was built.
While maintaining stability, it also gives powerful high-level challengers the right to enjoy life.
Any desire you can think of can be easily satisfied here.
Jason, the Crystal Lake killer, was originally a character from a horror movie.
"With a place like this where you can enjoy life, have whatever you want, and not have to risk your life to run dungeons, no wonder so many high-level challengers have chosen to just give up..."
"However, this place is not so easy to stay in. If an ordinary person came here, it would be difficult to survive even a day. After all, no one knows whether the people walking around them are ordinary puppets or real vengeful ghosts... It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a parade of a hundred ghosts."
Most of Lu Ming's doubts were answered. Then, he looked at Tang Song again and asked, "So what role does your Central Chamber of Commerce play here?"
"Where there are people, there is a world of its own, and this city is no exception. There are many challenger organizations here. Members of these organizations help each other and run dungeons together. The Central Chamber of Commerce is one such organization... and even here, our Central Chamber of Commerce is considered a behemoth."
"I met two challengers in the higher-dimensional God Space before, so how come I've never heard of anything here?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Song explained, "Because this city is completely isolated from the outside world, without the token I possess, it's impossible to enter or leave..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ming had already raised his hand.
Flocculent paper dust fell from mid-air.
The Ghost Painting Ghost Domain unfolds, its intensity directly exceeding that of the fifth layer of Ghost Eye Ghost Domain, which is also the threshold that can break the boundary between the supernatural and reality.
In the mysterious world of resurgence, to invade certain supernatural places that do not exist in reality, one must use the five layers of ghost domains.
Lu Ming wasn't sure if the five-layered ghost domain would still be effective in this world.
The next moment, wherever the paper ash passed, the original space was torn apart and even fell into a moment of stillness, turning into a sketch with only black and white colors.
As expected, the two previously isolated spaces were reconnected.
The city, created by a group of terrifying high-level challengers, was so easily invaded and counter-invaded by Lu Ming.
Simply put, even without the token, Lu Ming can easily break in from the outside and leave whenever he wants; no one can stop him.
"They do possess some skill; if it were just an ordinary ghost realm, they wouldn't be able to connect to other spaces..."
Lu Ming nodded secretly, expressing his approval of this special space.
Unfortunately, they ran into themselves.
It should be noted that even in the mysterious world of resurgence, Lu Ming is now considered to be among the top combatants.
From an outsider's perspective, Lu Ming merely created a gray and white painting, then walked into it and returned to that dilapidated main city.
Then, in the blink of an eye, we were back in the main city.
Just a short time ago, Tang and Song were talking eloquently, saying that without a token, it was absolutely impossible to travel back and forth.
Tang Song was speechless upon seeing this scene.
He had witnessed Lu Ming's terrifying nature before.
It was also clear that for a big shot like Lu Ming, whom even the higher-ups in the Chamber of Commerce valued highly, killing him was just a matter of a thought.
Tang Song never imagined that Lu Ming had reached this level.
After arriving here, Lu Ming remained remarkably calm regardless of what he heard, showing no shock whatsoever. Moreover, the so-called protective measures seemed like paper to him, allowing him to come and go as he pleased.
"No need to beat around the bush, this place is interesting. Take me directly to see the president of your chamber of commerce. I think... he went to all this trouble to invite me here, it can't be just for me to have a boring tour."
"Yes... Mr. Lu."
Although Tang Song was shocked, he still nodded respectfully in agreement after hearing Lu Ming's request.
After all, one's life is in someone else's hands, and as long as one wants to live, one must never anger this man.
Actually, regarding the president of the Central Chamber of Commerce...
Even at the level of Tang and Song, they were not qualified to contact the president.
But there's no doubt that Lu Ming has spoken, so qualifications and eligibility are irrelevant now.
If the president isn't stupid, he would definitely want to meet this Lu Ming.
···········
Main God Space.
A bizarre world within the dilapidated main city.
A tall building is covered with giant, deep blue glass all the way up to the clouds. A giant screen made of countless light tubes on the top appears and disappears among the clouds, constantly flashing.
This building is much taller than the Pearl Tower in the mysteriously revived world of the Great Ocean City. It truly pierces the clouds. Standing inside and overlooking the river and night view, it feels as if you have the whole world under your feet.
On the very top floor of this high-rise building, a graceful woman dressed in a cheongsam was playing with a red token in her hand.
If Lu Ming were here, he would immediately recognize that this red identity plaque signifies that the holder has become a seventh-tier challenger, which is currently the most powerful known being in this damaged God Space.
The objects on the table were printed with a blue giant eagle icon—the logo of the Central Chamber of Commerce.
Combining all these elements, the woman's identity becomes quite clear.
Tang Wan, one of the most powerful people in this eerie city, is the president of the Central Chamber of Commerce.
"Everything is ready; now we just need to wait for the next seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon to appear..."
Tang Wan got up from her seat and went to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Just as she leaned against the window, looking down at the entire eerie city, a faint gray hue in a faraway, inconspicuous corner made Tang Wan's pupils shrink, and a chill rose in her heart.
