Chapter 1: Becoming a Ghost Slave
Chapter 1: Becoming a Ghost Slave
Beside the deserted road, a cold atmosphere permeated the air, and a strange red light surrounded it.
There was a lingering faint stench of corpse in the air.
Outside the strange red light, a white figure was kneeling on the ground, and a red figure was leading a man with a stiff face.
Looking closely at the red figure, her pair of dry hands wrapped in dark brown corpse skin, exposed outside her sleeves, were holding hands with the man.
In the red light, several human figures can be vaguely seen, which is extremely strange and it is really hard to associate anything good with it.
Under great fear, the man let out a terrified wail with his remaining consciousness.
Zhang Hao was completely confused and his thoughts were stagnant. He didn't know what to think and could only watch everything happen.
He was powerless to stop the Corpse Bride's actions, he was just an ordinary person.
After the man named Yang Jian was unable to protect him, Zhang Hao was targeted by the Mummy Bride and could only wait for death.
Yang Jian, who was far away, looked at Zhang Hao outside the ghost den and wanted to lend a helping hand, but his ghost den could not cover the mummy bride at all.
Once enveloped, the strange bride seemed to be able to follow the red light and invade his den of ghosts.
Moreover, the crying ghost at the grave not far away, which was attracted by the mummy bride through some supernatural means, was still making sobbing sounds, making it impossible for Yang Jian to move easily.
Ordinary people are vulnerable in the face of the supernatural, and Zhang Hao is no exception.
After being held by the hand by the Corpse Bride, his consciousness quickly disappeared.
The Corpse Bride has a terrifying spiritual power that anyone who holds hands will die. If the Corpse Bride did not need him as a medium, his consciousness would not even be qualified to last for a second.
"? What's wrong with me?"
As Zhang Hao's consciousness died, he completely lost the ability to think and became the ghost slave of the Mummy Bride.
At this moment, a new consciousness seemed to have descended upon Zhang Hao.
From the initial confusion, the new consciousness quickly sorted out everything that had happened from Zhang Hao's remaining memories.
"So I traveled through time and space and became the ordinary person who was mysteriously resurrected and held the hand of the mummy bride and died?"
Like the original owner, the new consciousness is also called Zhang Hao.
It’s just that their experiences are completely different. The new Zhang Hao seems to come from another world, and he knows clearly what the mysterious resuscitation records are.
"But am I now the ghost slave of the Mummy Bride?"
Zhang Hao filtered everything out and looked at the strange and terrifying red figure beside him, feeling confused.
There was clearly a very terrifying being standing next to him, but he seemed unable to sense the terror in the other person.
Faced with this evil ghost that even Yang Jian, who was in a headless ghost state, did not dare to confront head-on, Zhang Hao did not feel any danger at all.
On the contrary, for some reason, Zhang Hao inexplicably felt a sense of security.
This reminded Zhang Hao of a strange person in the mysterious resurrection - Wang Shanshan.
The woman who became Yang Jian's ghost slave but did not lose consciousness, still maintained her consciousness as a living person and could think for herself.
"So am I now a similar existence to Wang Shanshan?"
Perhaps it was because the original Zhang Hao was already dead, and this body had become the ghost slave of the mummy bride.
So after Zhang Hao traveled through time, he was not attacked by the corpse bride, but inherited the identity brought by the body.
Perhaps because of his identity as a ghost slave, even his consciousness was not erased or forcibly controlled by the bride.
Or maybe it was for other reasons, but Zhang Hao felt that his current state was extremely special.
He is a ghost slave, but he still has his own consciousness and can consider the pros and cons. He has not become a tool of the evil ghost and he still has the ability to think freely.
Although he said he was not a ghost slave, he did not know why he felt a kind of intimacy with the bride beside him, as if he could not harbor any ill will. Zhang Hao could not understand and could only make a certain judgment on his own status based on the information he knew.
After roughly confirming his own condition, Zhang Hao began to observe the situation around him.
First was himself and the mummy bride, and then the crying ghost not far away.
After that, the red light should be Yang Jian’s ghost den.
According to his memory of the original novel and the plot that Zhang Hao has read, there should be three ghost riders in the ghost den, Yang Jian, Lin Bei, and Xu Feng.
In addition, Zhang Hao remembered that there should be an unknown ghost here. It seemed to be a nightmare, but it might also be an unknown ghost.
"Hmm, my memory is a little fuzzy. Is it because I just merged into this body and haven't adapted to it yet? Or is it affected by the spirit?"
Zhang Hao was puzzled, but this was not the time to worry about these things.
He looked up in the direction of Yang Jian. For some reason, the red ghost den did not block Zhang Hao's view at all.
His eyes seemed to be able to see through the ghost den and see several people in it.
Everything in the red light seemed a little blurry.
"Is it because of the ghost slave again?"
Zhang Hao felt that this might be the reason why he was now the ghost slave of the Mummy Bride.
Although he does not have the abilities of a true evil ghost, he has inherited some of the supernatural powers of the mummy bride.
Just like the ghost slaves of the headless ghost will learn from the evil ghost to attack the living from behind and take off the enemy's head.
When Zhang Hao is near the Corpse Bride, he can inherit the Corpse Bride's vision.
This is just like the ghost baby in Yang Jian can move freely in the ghost den in Yang Jian.
However, perhaps because the bride did not have a ghost, Zhang Hao was unable to borrow the ghost's supernatural power like the ghost baby.
Zhang Hao tried to move, but from his left hand, a force that he could not resist was constantly emanating.
Because the bride was using her magical powers to summon ghosts, Zhang Hao's body was completely under the bride's control and he had no ability to move freely.
Not only that, in this situation where the hand is held by the mummy bride.
A normal person would think about how to break away from the corpse bride's hand.
However, Zhang Hao did not have such thoughts in his mind at all. He clearly understood that he was being controlled by the Corpse Bride.
But Zhang Hao didn't think about getting away at all. He just quietly felt a powerful spiritual power constantly emerging from the body of the Mummy Bride and gathering in his right hand.
This is a supernatural act of summoning ghosts. The Mummy Bride is using Zhang Hao as a medium to summon ghosts.
The target of the ghost summoned was actually the crying ghost at the grave that was attacking Yang Jian and the others not far away.
Unfortunately, Zhang Hao couldn’t see his own expression.
From a distance, his face looked like he was crying with sadness, but he forced a smile. This expression was as weird as it could be.
After becoming a ghost slave, Zhang Hao seemed to have lost something. Although he was still conscious, he was unable to perceive his emotional changes.
Although her face looked like she was crying due to the influence of the crying ghost, Zhang Hao could not empathize with her.
Zhang Hao could not perceive it, but Yang Jian in the distance saw it all clearly.
Zhang Hao, who was holding the hand of the mummy bride, was looking at him with a very strange expression.
Since the Mysterious Revival has always been vague about combat power, a thousand people can see a thousand copies of the Mysterious Revival, so the author has published a combat power system, which lists some characteristics of evil spirits that affect combat power. Those who are interested can take a look.
