Chapter 3: Wearing Ghost Mourning Clothes
Chapter 3: Wearing Ghost Mourning Clothes
Obviously, the haunted bus would not stop because of Zhang Hao's sight.
Unable to move, Zhang Hao could only watch the bus go away until it disappeared from his sight.
Looking at the road that seemed to have no end, Zhang Hao felt helpless.
It was indeed too unrealistic for him to leave by bus.
It was impossible for him to escape from the control of the Corpse Bride since he couldn't even move freely.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao looked at the crying ghost that was walking away.
Although he is immune to many dangers under the protection of the Corpse Bride.
But if you think about it carefully, you will know that Zhang Hao is not safe now.
Whether it is from the point of view that the ghost slave's body will slowly rot, or that when the mummy bride appears again in the future, Zhang Hao's body will not appear.
Both of these indicate that Zhang Hao will definitely encounter some crisis that will cause him to "die" again in the future.
Perhaps when there is no one left to kill, the Mummy Bride might simply abandon Zhang Hao.
After all, there is no need to kill anyone, so there is naturally no need to summon ghosts. As a medium that cannot exist forever, there is no need for her to bring Zhang Hao with her.
"Whether it's to avoid the body from decaying, unable to function as a medium and thus being abandoned by the corpse bride."
"Or maybe it's so that the corpse bride can protect herself when she encounters Zhang Xianguang and his group of second-generation Republicans in the future."
"I just need to find a way to solve the current troubles."
Zhang Hao was thinking and looking at the crying ghost in the distance.
For him, the only thing that can solve this problem at the moment is the crying ghost.
If he could snatch the mourning clothes from the crying ghost and put them on, perhaps he could use the protection of the clothes to prevent Zhang Hao's body from rotting.
As for the side effects of wearing mourning clothes, Zhang Hao didn't really care.
If you don't have more days to live, then what does the side effects of the supernatural items matter?
Moreover, in Zhang Hao's imagination, he might not be overly affected by the ghost mourning clothes on the crying ghost.
Zhang Hao is now a dead man, but he still has consciousness because of the time travel.
In other words, Zhang Hao’s current identity is a ghost slave. If other ghosts invade Zhang Hao, the Mummy Bride will solve the problem for him.
The identity of a dead person can avoid the problem of evil spirits reviving. People are dead, and there is no crisis more unbearable than death.
As if she understood Zhang Hao's idea, the corpse bride, who had been standing in the same place after the bus started, actually moved again with Zhang Hao.
Under the control of the Mummy Bride, Zhang Hao raised his hands again and waved them towards the distance.
As Zhang Hao waved his hand, the crying ghost that was walking away from the road and looking towards a forest in the distance turned back again.
However, the crying ghost that came back this time could no longer whimper. Without the crying face, it lost the ability to cry.
As the crying ghost approached, Zhang Hao actually felt that his body had regained a lot of consciousness.
The Mummy Bride no longer forcibly controlled Zhang Hao's body.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Hao, as a ghost slave, did not feel the confusion he had at the beginning of his journey through time.
Perhaps it is because as a ghost slave of the Corpse Bride, his consciousness tends to be more ghost-oriented.
The moment the crying ghost approached, Zhang Hao immediately reached out and stripped off the mourning clothes from the ghost and put them on himself.
The moment Zhang Hao put on the gloomy mourning clothes, it seemed to come alive.
The white cloth was tightly wrapped around Zhang Hao. Looking closer, it seemed as if it was sticking to Zhang Hao's skin.
The strange and cold aura continued to invade Zhang Hao's body, and Zhang Hao once again felt the feeling of losing control of his body.
At this moment, his body was completely controlled by the mourning clothes on his body, and he had no control at all.
That is to say, after Zhang Hao became a ghost slave, he seemed to have lost his sense of pain, otherwise he would definitely have let out a painful wail.
Fortunately, at this time, the mummy bride held Zhang Hao. The spirit of the mummy bride began to resist the erosion of the ghost mourning clothes on Zhang Hao's body.
For the Corpse Bride, Zhang Hao is her ghost slave, and a ghost slave with great intelligence.
She would not let her ghost slave be taken away by another ghost like that.
Although evil spirits have no intelligence, they do have instincts.
The Mummy Bride could instinctively feel that Zhang Hao's presence could help her.
It's like a newspaper ghost will instinctively tamper with the memories of the living and make them do things for them.
Is the newspaper ghost intelligent? Obviously not.
It’s just that when a large number of people with living consciousness become its ghost slaves, the extremely strange newspaper ghost is naturally created.
Because there are countless wise "people" working for him.
The same is true for the Corpse Bride at this time. Zhang Hao has wisdom and is her ghost slave.
In the little instinct that the Corpse Bride has, it can be said that Zhang Hao is the most important thing to her now, besides the rules of killing and the puzzle.
This is also the reason why the mummy bride acted like that when Zhang Hao thought of seizing the ghost mourning clothes to protect herself from rotting.
The mummy bride was wearing her wedding dress; she did not need mourning clothes.
Although ghost mourning clothes are a kind of all-purpose clothing for evil spirits, the mummy bride will not snatch them if there is no need.
But if Zhang Hao needs it, it would be different.
Improving the combat effectiveness of one's own ghost slaves is allowed within the behavioral logic of the Corpse Bride.
However, normal evil ghosts generally don’t think of this, and ghost slaves without wisdom cannot truly control evil ghosts.
That is to say, Zhang Hao is an alien. He is obviously a ghost slave, but he is intelligent.
On the other side, at the moment the cloth was torn off.
An extremely cold aura emanated from the crying ghost.
This aura was even comparable to that of the Corpse Bride, depressing and silent, and the surroundings seemed to have fallen into darkness because of the crying ghosts.
After Zhang Hao felt that the ghost mourning clothes on his body were no longer eroding him, he looked at the crying ghost.
Feeling that extremely terrifying aura, Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment.
Without the crying face and mourning clothes, the ghost's horror level was actually increased.
"Could it be that the ghost mourning clothes and the ghost crying face are actually weakening the horror of this ghost, like some kind of seal?"
Zhang Hao thought that the older generation of ghost riders in the Republic of China all liked to control evil spirits through balance.
This crying ghost came from a cemetery when Yang Jian was riding the bus.
Moreover, Meng Xiaodong, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, also got off the bus at that cemetery.
Does this mean that the crying grave ghost is actually the product of the resurrection of a fierce ghost by an older generation of ghost controller?
The ghost face and mourning clothes are what the older generation of ghost rider used to balance the faceless evil ghost?
I have to say, this possibility is very high.
Apart from anything else, the mere appearance of that crying ghost face outside was a Class A supernatural event.
Having never encountered other evil spirits, Zhang Hao didn't know how strong the ghost mourning clothes were.
However, as a type of supernatural ghost, the degree of horror is generally not low.
The ghost face and the ghost mourning clothes can completely cover the ghost inside the body, so it is not impossible to maintain balance in this way.
But doesn’t this mean that this faceless ghost is a ghost with an extremely complete puzzle?
After all, the fact that one ghost can achieve a balance with two ghosts is enough to show how terrifying this ghost is.
