Chapter 248 Conflict Escalates! Ghostly Eyes Gets a Brutal Slaughter! (4k)
As the blood-red umbrella fell, the limbs and bodies of the corpses were torn to pieces, dismembered into countless individual parts.
Although the supernatural has not disappeared, it has been separated. With its integrity compromised, the threat posed by the vengeful spirits to the spirit tamer has decreased dramatically.
In the lobby on the fifth floor, blood and mangled corpses were everywhere, and the air was filled with a foul stench of decay, making it a truly gruesome scene.
Lu Ming's current control over supernatural entities has completely transcended the scope of a normal ghost tamer. Even the most terrifying supernatural attacks can be easily neutralized by the supernatural weapon in his hand.
But something was clearly wrong just now.
Even after so many corpses were dismembered at the same time, the terrifying supernatural phenomenon did not disappear; instead, it continued to seep out from the gaps between the old wooden planks.
On the other side, several tightly closed doors were opened at this moment, and several messengers from the fifth floor came out.
They quickly realized what had happened, and their expressions changed simultaneously.
The supernatural attacks only began after Lu Ming tore up the envelope; the conflict was not yet resolved, and the danger was not over.
This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous situation.
So after a moment's thought, they ultimately chose not to take the initiative, but instead watched from the sidelines.
Of course, if the situation becomes truly dire, they will still choose to take action.
Because if they can't withstand this attack, it won't just be Lu Ming's problem; the entire crew of messengers on the fifth floor will be wiped out.
The corpses on the ground not only looked terrifying, but each one was a real vengeful ghost with a unique pattern of killing, capable of blurring the lines between the supernatural and reality.
In other words, there are countless variables here, and even though the messenger on the fifth floor has extensive experience in handling paranormal events, he is not absolutely certain that he can cope with it.
However, Lu Ming remained surprisingly calm in the face of the scene before him.
He thought to himself, "It's impossible to completely subdue all the vengeful ghosts by dismembering them. Even if we deal with the first wave of attacks, there will be a second wave, a third wave... Ghosts cannot be killed, and supernatural phenomena will continue to emerge."
"The problem must be addressed at its source."
At this thought, as drops of blood fell, thick blood gathered at Lu Ming's feet.
The demon bride and Tomie appear at the same time.
The moment these two vengeful ghosts appeared, the entire fifth-floor space seemed to become more oppressive, and the dim oil lamp flickered and dimmed a bit.
Whether it was my imagination or not, the thick blood seemed to be churning on the wooden floor, forming a sea of blood.
"Are you kidding me...? This ghost blood... seems to have an extremely strong suppressive effect on the supernatural?"
"How can we play like this? If we go up against this guy, we won't be able to use our supernatural abilities at all. Without supernatural abilities, we're not even as good as ordinary people."
“I’ve thought of another possibility. The reason why we ghost controllers are not as good as real vengeful ghosts is mainly because we have various concerns when using the supernatural. If we can use these ghost blood to suppress the vengeful ghosts in our bodies, wouldn’t we no longer have to worry about the vengeful ghosts reviving?”
The moment this messenger's conjecture was raised, someone nearby sneered in rebuttal:
"You're being too naive. When it comes to the supernatural, nothing is ever so pure and harmless. While this ghost blood can suppress supernatural phenomena, it is itself a terrifying supernatural attack. Ordinary vengeful spirits might even be rendered useless upon contact with it, not to mention ghost tamers, who have absolutely no chance of survival."
"..."
On Lu Ming's side, as the ghost blood gathered, it seeped into an unknown supernatural place through the gaps between the wooden floorboards.
The terrifying suppressive effect of the demonic blood began to take effect.
A mournful cry and a heart-wrenching wail came from somewhere.
The rate at which vengeful spirits were generated did indeed begin to slow down.
If this trend continues, the terrible paranormal attacks will soon be resolved.
Lu Ming's actions seemed simple, but in reality, there was a lot of skill involved.
For ordinary ghost tamers, or even captain-level ghost tamers, the current situation is absolutely unsolvable, with no possibility of survival.
However, Lu Ming's ghost blood could suppress it without any countermeasure. Combined with the terrifying power of the Red and White Duo, the ghost blood invaded the source of the supernatural attacks and successfully restricted the source.
This is often how the battles between the supernatural occur.
Complex yet simple.
It's complicated because most of the time it's a life-or-death situation. Even those who can control spirits find it difficult to survive a terrifying supernatural event.
Simply put, it's because supernatural confrontations can often be decided in an instant.
It's almost obvious who has the upper hand and who is in control.
For example, right now, Lu Ming's strength is enough to handle seemingly unsolvable supernatural attacks, so the crisis will be resolved quickly without taking too much time.
···········
"They actually made it through..."
"This guy is even more terrifying than a real ghost, his horror is beyond our imagination... But this is also a good thing. The fact that this red letter has been torn up means that we will soon be free from the post office's curse and regain our freedom."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately reminded him:
"Don't be too idealistic. Whether it's what we've seen with our own eyes or what we've heard from the outside world, Lu Ming's temper is definitely not good. We had a conflict with him before, so we've made an enemy of him. Once he resolves the Ghost Post Office attack, he'll probably come after us as soon as possible."
"If that time really comes... we'll probably die a horrible death."
Even in this age of the supernatural, the probability of ordinary people encountering supernatural events is still not high.
And those who survive after encountering paranormal events are an even smaller minority.
Not to mention surviving a supernatural event and coincidentally becoming a ghost tamer.
Ultimately, every Ghost Tamer is an extremely special being, and they all understand this, which is why they tend to be rather arrogant.
The wealthy and powerful outsiders are nothing to them.
Even if they were arrogant and self-important, they had to admit that they were no match for Lu Ming after meeting him.
To be more precise, they were not only no match for the ghost groom Lu Ming, but even if they joined forces, they would not be qualified to be Lu Ming's opponent.
The ghost tamer who spoke earlier was named Wang Yong. He controlled two ghosts and had extensive experience in handling paranormal events, making him one of the more powerful messengers among this group.
These words immediately enlightened everyone.
"Wang Yong, what do you suggest we do?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Wang Yong's eyes as he coldly said, "It's simple. Strike while the iron is hot. No matter how powerful he is, he's ultimately just relying on a supernatural ghost-controller, not a real vengeful spirit. There's definitely a way to kill him..."
“He is currently focused on fighting the paranormal attacks from the post office and has no time to pay attention to us. At this time, launching an attack to kill him is definitely the wisest choice.”
Upon hearing this, the other messengers all turned to look.
Should we take action against Lu Ming now?
Regardless, these people all share the same goal for the time being: to defuse the supernatural attacks from the Ghost Post Office.
At this time, Lu Ming played the most significant role, and it is no exaggeration to say that everyone was relying on Lu Ming for their efforts.
But they wanted to stab Lu Ming in the back and kill him. Everyone's thoughts were different.
It's not that they think it's immoral—morality was something they abandoned the moment they became demon tamers.
However, these messengers still had reservations.
They were worried that after dealing with Lu Ming, they wouldn't be able to handle the remaining supernatural attacks.
They were either worried that Lu Ming could easily kill them all while dealing with the supernatural attack from the post office.
···········
The ghost tamer named Wang Yong's eyes rolled stiffly as he looked around, and he already understood what these people were thinking.
He thought to himself, "These people are all extremely afraid of death. If I don't push them, I'm afraid no one will be willing to take the risk with me."
Thinking of this, Wang Yong hardened his heart and directly attacked Lu Ming.
The battles between demon tamers are incredibly brutal; once a fight breaks out, it's a matter of life and death.
"Oh no, Wang Yong has made his move. That Lu Ming probably won't let us off the hook... This guy is forcing us to take action."
The ghost tamer who spoke at this moment was named Liu Ziwen. Although he could see through Wang Yong's intentions, he was helpless against them.
Because Wang Yong's move was not a conspiracy, but an open strategy.
From Lu Ming's perspective, all of them, the messengers on the fifth floor, were one entity.
If one person takes action, they can represent the entire fifth floor as a messenger.
Therefore, their only option now is to follow Wang Yong's advice and take advantage of Lu Ming's ongoing struggle against the attack from the post office to eliminate him.
The lobby on the fifth floor was large, but at this moment, it seemed incredibly narrow and cramped against the backdrop of countless corpses and various supernatural phenomena.
These thoughts were completed in the blink of an eye. The messengers exchanged glances and then attacked Lu Ming together.
But in the next moment, two figures blocked Lu Ming's path.
A young man covered in lividity, with pale and cold skin.
There was also a middle-aged man with a cold expression, leaning on a golden cane.
"Gentlemen, have you forgotten that we are still here?"
Sun Rui coughed twice as usual, his voice carrying a chilling undertone.
The messenger on the fifth floor did not change his original plan despite the obstruction of the two men.
Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.
They all knew that at this moment, any hesitation would lead them to their doom.
Wang Yong coldly said, "Kill them, and Liu Ziwen and I will deal with Lu Ming."
It has to be said that this is the best arrangement.
Sun Rui is the person in charge of Dahan City, while Li Yang is a top-level ghost tamer who controls four ghosts within his body.
Even the messengers on the fifth floor would have no chance of dealing with them in a short time.
The most efficient approach would be to have several ghost riders hold off Sun Rui and Li Yang, while Wang Yong and Liu Ziwen would target Lu Ming and take him down while he was still fighting off the supernatural attack from the Ghost Post Office.
Upon hearing this, the other messengers began to act according to Wang Yong's instructions.
Wang Yong and Liu Ziwen then came to stand in front of Lu Ming.
A terrifying supernatural force was cast upon Lu Ming.
The battle between the supernatural and the supernatural is both cruel and fair.
Even the most ordinary demon tamer can launch a supernatural attack that can affect a powerful demon tamer.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, conflicts rarely occur between ghost tamers.
Nobody knows if pushing someone to their limits will lead to a desperate fight, resulting in a lose-lose situation.
At this moment, Lu Ming was also influenced by Liu Ziwen.
This vengeful ghost of Liu Ziwen and Jia Yu is very special. Its code name is "Ghost Blindness". Its lethality is only average, but it has a strong ability to cause disturbance.
As a chilling sensation spread from his back, the light in Lu Ming's vision gradually dimmed.
The next moment, terrifying finger outlines appeared before his eyes. One cold finger after another, sometimes closing, sometimes opening, as if pounding on a glass window, pounding in front of Lu Ming's eyes, leaving many stains and obscuring Lu Ming's vision.
But then, blood rain began to fall from the sky.
The blood rain hitting those fingers felt like it was washing away dirt, clearing Lu Ming's blurred vision.
Liu Ziwen was horrified: "As expected of the head of headquarters, the supernatural phenomena that blind him are not very effective at all, and he didn't even go all out against me..."
Liu Ziwen was clearly aware of the seriousness of the problem. He didn't care whether the resurgence of the vengeful ghost inside him would worsen, and just kept increasing the number of fingers.
This time, the supernatural power of the ghost's eye was even stronger than before.
Liu Ziwen was also suffering. His cloudy eyes were fixed on Lu Ming, and his already lifeless eyes gradually turned white, like a blind person. Moreover, his body was convulsing violently due to pain.
Overuse of supernatural powers can lead to the body being eroded by supernatural forces.
This is an ironclad rule that no ghost tamer can escape.
Liu Ziwen is not an anomaly; using supernatural powers beyond his capacity naturally comes at a heavy price.
He certainly didn't want to do this, but Liu Ziwen had no other choice.
"Oh? The number of fingers has increased."
Lu Ming, who was originally struggling with the ghosts in the post office, turned his eyes stiffly and glanced at Liu Ziwen not far away for the first time.
This was the first time he had focused his attention on this messenger.
It seems that before this, Wang Yong and Liu Ziyi, these self-proclaimed powerful ghost tamers, were nothing in his eyes.
Liu Ziyi felt a chill run down his spine when Lu Ming noticed him, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
What he didn't know was that even now, Lu Ming didn't think he posed much of a threat.
It was simply because the number of fingers that were obscuring his vision had increased, making Lu Ming somewhat irritated.
Just like someone bothered by mosquitoes will casually swat them away.
