Chapter 249 The Day of Burial! Da Dong City, Lu Ming's Move (4k)
Lu Ming's original plan was to deal with the danger on the fifth floor of the post office and then take down these annoying messengers.
But Liu Ziwen's actions made him change his mind.
He planned to eliminate this guy first, since it wouldn't take much effort anyway.
"Anyway, they were messengers from the fifth floor... So what if they were killed? These people have caused countless supernatural events and indirectly killed countless innocent people. It's no exaggeration to say they deserved to die."
A single thought from Lu Ming determined Liu Ziwen's life or death.
The latter had clearly realized something from Lu Ming's gaze and felt a deep fear, instinctively wanting to back away.
But it's too late to regret it now.
The blood-red umbrella fabric in Lu Ming's hand was put away.
Raise your hand, then lower it.
At the tip of the blood-red umbrella, the ghostly power of the cleaver was activated.
"The person before you cannot be avoided."
While using the Ghost Cleaver's supernatural power, Lu Ming also used the Deceitful Ghost's supernatural power.
From Liu Ziwen's perspective, he didn't know exactly what Lu Ming had done; he only saw two figures suddenly appear in front of him.
Then, a terrifying sense of oppression swept over him from all directions, as if a giant hand was gripping his heart tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Oh no, he's coming for me now..."
"Are you kidding me? How is that possible? Lu Ming is clearly dealing with the supernatural attacks from the Ghost Post Office. To be distracted at a time like this, does he want to die?"
Liu Ziwen's subconscious told him that he had to take immediate action, or he would die a terrible death.
However, some terrifying supernatural force exerted a fatal suppression on him, rendering him unable to move.
Liu Ziwen's trembling was gradually increasing in amplitude and frequency, and his cloudy, white eyes began to be covered with blood vessels.
He was finally freed after a short while.
Stab it! ! !
The demon cleaver dismembered his body, slicing him open from the waist, blood splattering everywhere.
What was cut open was not only Liu Ziwen's body, but also the supernatural entity within him.
Let alone someone of his level who is a demon tamer, it would be impossible for him to survive such trauma.
Even if he survives, after the supernatural entity within him is dismembered, Liu Ziwen will be no better than an ordinary person.
It can only be said that his decision to join Wang Yong in attacking Lu Ming was a grave mistake.
The supernatural confrontation was completed in the blink of an eye.
Liu Ziwen, the messenger from the fifth floor, was considered a top figure in the entire paranormal community, but just a moment ago, he completely vanished from this world.
On the other side, Wang Yong wanted to fight back, but as the blood rained down in the air, he felt his body gradually freezing and he couldn't muster any strength at all.
"This is bad, something's not right. If we continue this head-on confrontation, I'll definitely die here..."
Although Wang Yong was the one who started the initial conflict, that doesn't mean he was completely brainless.
Liu Ziwen's gruesome death served as a wake-up call for Wang Yong, who immediately activated his Ghost Domain, attempting to leave this place.
He believed he had control over two vengeful spirits and possessed a ghost realm.
Although he could never be a match for Lu Ming, Lu Ming couldn't go all out against him in the current situation.
Wang Yong isn't greedy right now; he just wants to escape danger, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
As expected, Lu Ming saw that Wang Yong had no intention of continuing the fight, so he withdrew his cold and indifferent gaze, seemingly intending to let Wang Yong go for the time being.
"He really didn't have time to deal with me."
Seeing this, Wang Yong couldn't help but feel secretly relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
He somehow acquired a shovel covered in mud. The mud on the shovel was damp and gave off a sinister aura, making it look very unusual. It seemed to be a shovel specifically used for digging graves.
A ruthless look appeared on Wang Yong's face as he slowly turned his gaze toward Li Yang and Sun Rui.
Now that the conflict between the messenger on the fifth floor and Lu Ming has been started, it is impossible for it to be easily quelled.
No ghost tamer felt safe with another group of hostile ghost tamers jumping around him.
Therefore, Wang Yong's best option now is to stay away from Lu Ming, then turn around and help the other messengers to quickly take down Sun Rui and Li Yang.
Wang Yong has a strong sense of execution; the moment the idea came to mind, he began to act on it.
But the next moment, he felt his body lighten, and a cold sensation came from his back.
"This is······"
Wang Yong's cloudy, stiff eyes rolled downwards, and he realized that his lower body had been cut off at some point and was lying on the ground.
He wanted to say something more, but in this situation, he couldn't utter a single word.
In this supernatural confrontation, Lu Ming won again, and the victory was without any suspense.
Clang!
The metal struck the wooden floor with a dull thud.
The mud-covered shovel in Wang Yong's hand slammed heavily onto the floor, slipping out of his control and becoming an ordinary, supernatural object.
Because this thing wasn't originally a complete vengeful ghost; it was just a supernatural item that Wang Yong accidentally obtained during a delivery mission, and it could be used by others as well.
···········
On the other side, the group of messengers who were fighting against Sun Rui and Li Yang had obviously also noticed the situation here.
They were all utterly horrified, and after realizing what had happened, they felt that their future was bleak.
"Damn it... Even Wang Yong died at his hands. Even if we all joined forces, we probably wouldn't be a match for him."
"It's not surprising that Wang Yong died at the hands of the ghost groom; it didn't unexpected me. What I find most unacceptable is that this ghost groom, while fighting off the supernatural attacks from the post office, easily disposed of Wang Yong... The latter didn't even have a chance to resist..."
"Does this guy even belong to the category of human beings anymore?"
For ordinary ghost controllers, using supernatural powers always comes at a price.
But Lu Ming seemed to have no such concerns at all.
In the blink of an eye, he took down Liu Ziwen and Wang Yong in quick succession, as easily as crushing two ants; it was nothing to him.
The group of messengers on the fifth floor did not attract Lu Ming's attention for long.
Because they soon heard a tooth-grinding scraping sound.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
Eerie, chilling, numb.
Just hearing it makes one feel uncomfortable and instinctively want to cover their ears.
One by one, withered ghostly hands reached out from the cracks in the wooden floorboards, gripping the messengers' ankles tightly, as if trying to drag them into that unknown, supernatural place.
In fact, there's no need to be dragged anywhere else by those withered arms.
The terrifying supernatural attack occurred the instant of contact.
The supernatural forces invaded these messengers' bodies through their skin.
"Ah!!!" Accompanied by desperate screams, one after another, cold corpses appeared in the lobby on the fifth floor.
These messengers never imagined that the supernatural attack that Lu Ming could easily deal with, which only slightly affected them, would cause them to feel a fear that could be described as utter despair.
You can't really blame them.
In normal understanding, no matter how great the difference is between ghost tamers, it is impossible for them to reach such a level.
What's most terrifying is that Lu Ming is not only as terrifying as a real S-class vengeful ghost, but his own condition is also extremely stable, showing no signs of the vengeful ghost reviving.
The rules that the paranormal community had previously summarized no longer seemed to apply to him.
"If you hadn't been jumping around in front of me, you might have had a chance of survival. But since you've chosen this path, don't regret it."
Lu Ming felt no guilt whatsoever in casually killing the messengers on the fifth floor.
None of these people who made it to the fifth floor of the post office were innocent.
At this moment, Sun Rui and Li Yang, who were in the lobby on the fifth floor, also realized that something was wrong.
Because those withered, ghostly hands weren't just targeting the messenger on the fifth floor.
The ghostly hands grew and spread haphazardly like weeds, climbing up their trouser legs.
Although neither of them were ordinary individuals, under such a massive and terrifying supernatural attack, Sun Rui and Li Yang still had no chance of survival.
"cut."
Just then, Lu Ming spoke coldly.
The surging blood, accompanied by the eerie power of the ghostly cleaver, fell down, severing all the ghostly hands that were spreading from the old floorboards.
The terrifying paranormal attacks have now come to an end.
But in reality, that alone would not have been enough to survive the post office attack.
Because Lu Ming's speed in suppressing supernatural phenomena was nowhere near the speed at which they spread.
The real effect came from the ghost blood that Lu Ming released, which directly seeped into the source of the supernatural phenomenon.
···········
After an unknown amount of time, the corpses on the ground stopped moving, and no new ghostly hands grew.
Even the corpses that had crawled out from the cracks in the wooden floor were now motionless, turned into ordinary, unremarkable mummies.
In this supernatural confrontation, in order to eliminate the terrifying supernatural forces at their source, Lu Ming not only used the supernatural power of the Blood Umbrella, but also other supernatural forces of the Red and White Duo.
The fact that all the messengers on the fifth floor were wiped out in just one encounter shows that the supernatural attack from the fifth floor of the post office is something that ordinary ghost controllers cannot withstand.
Even if a captain-level demon tamer came, he would only be a free kill.
However, Lu Ming clearly cannot be judged by common sense.
"All the messengers on the fifth floor are dead, which is a good thing. This battle has come to an end, and it not only means the end of this battle, but also the end of the Ghost Post Office instance."
Lu Ming and his two companions were different from the other messengers at the post office.
They never received any mail from the post office, nor were they cursed by the ghost post office.
Up to this point, every step Lu Ming has taken has been a spontaneous action after receiving the invitation letter from Zhang Dong.
Therefore, the changes happening at the post office at this moment are different from normal circumstances.
The moment the supernatural attack was averted, the scene before Lu Ming and his companions began to gradually become illusory and unreal.
Then, without any warning, a new letter appeared out of nowhere in Lu Ming's hands.
"This is······"
Even Lu Ming, whose expression had remained calm throughout, was momentarily stunned.
The letter in his hand was simply too familiar to him.
It was Zhang Dong's invitation letter that was delivered by those three post office messengers at the very beginning.
Slowly open the envelope, you'll find the same simple line of text on it.
"To become a messenger and attend funerals."
The black handwriting was crooked and didn't look like it was written by a human.
Lu Ming felt somewhat relieved.
He had previously analyzed the eight characters in the letter.
"Becoming a messenger" is easy to understand; it means getting him through the Ghost Post Office, and Lu Ming has indeed completed the speedrun.
As for "attending the funeral," it naturally means having Lu Ming attend Zhang Dong's funeral.
The eight characters on the envelope remained unchanged, which means that Zhang Dong, the leader of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, was still alive.
It's perfectly fine to attend the funeral now.
As Lu Ming pondered, he suddenly noticed that there was another line of text on the envelope.
The black handwriting, crooked and twisted, exudes an inexplicable eeriness.
"Three days later."
With just a simple date, Lu Ming could easily determine that this was the exact time Zhang Dong was holding his funeral.
The Ghost Post Office instance is now complete.
Three days later, the haunted house instance officially begins.
"I acted quickly, and even had three extra days as a buffer..."
"Perfect timing. The King's organization attacked Da Dong City. I can use these three days to deal with the trouble there."
After a moment's thought, Lu Ming made up his mind.
As agreed before, first take Li Yang to Dadong City and take down the king who led the team into China...
Although the King Organization's attack should be a headache for headquarters, Lu Ming already had a grudge against the King Organization, and a conflict was bound to occur sooner or later.
Needless to say, from the perspective of the nation, Lu Ming would also lend a hand.
"With my current strength, taking down a king is not difficult at all; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's done effortlessly."
With this thought in mind, both Xiao Fujiang and the ghost bride in her bright red wedding dress disappeared back into the ghost realm.
Lu Ming turned to Li Yang beside him and said, "I'll leave the mess at the Ghost Post Office in Dahan City to Sun Rui. You come with me to Dadong City. I want to see what those people from the King's Organization are really up to."
"Yes, Captain."
Li Yang did not expect that after Lu Ming finished dealing with the trouble here, his first thought was the King's Organization in Da Dong City, and he immediately planned to set off for there.
Although Li Yang was inclined to support Lu Ming's decision regardless of whether it was between headquarters or Lu Ming.
However, Li Yang harbored some hostility towards the King's Organization.
Lu Ming's willingness to step forward for this matter not only impressed Li Yang but also made him somewhat delighted.
"As expected of the captain, he always has a clear sense of right and wrong."
"With the captain taking action, those people from the King's Organization should probably prepare to be wiped out in China."
