Chapter 60 A delicate balance
Chapter 60 A delicate balance
"retreat!"
After confirming that this place was the mourning hall of Huanggang Village, many people were hesitant to go.
Although running away is embarrassing, your own life is more important than that.
Even though there are only five ghosts in the mourning hall, don't forget that in the darkness outside, there are at least five ghost riders who have revived and are controlling two ghosts.
"Don't rush to evacuate. This mourning hall seems to be able to block the paper money that keeps falling outside." Zhong Shan typed.
"We can't hear any crying now. Standing at the door of the mourning hall, we can avoid being attacked by the paper coins falling from the sky to the greatest extent possible."
Hearing this, Wang Shuang's eyes lit up.
"That's true. I don't know if you noticed that the ghosts wandering outside didn't follow us to the vicinity of the mourning hall."
As things progressed, many people began to observe.
The ghost riders whose evil spirits had been revived had been following them, but they did not attack them because of the ghost candle.
Now those revived evil spirits did not appear outside the mourning hall.
Considering that the ghost messenger was an S-level supernatural event, everyone came to a bold conclusion.
The Red and White Devils did not succeed in controlling the Ghost Messenger, and this mourning hall was the result of the confrontation between the Red and White Devils.
Outside the mourning hall, paper money was falling everywhere, which meant that the outside world was almost controlled by the Red and White Evils.
Inside the mourning hall, except for the ghost bride who represents the red evil, the people wearing mourning clothes are actually the evil ghosts captured by the ghost catcher, not the white evil.
The ghosts controlled by the Red and White Devils through summoning ghosts cannot approach this area.
The area near the mourning hall was like a blank zone created by the conflict between the ghost messenger and the red and white evil spirits.
The ghosts inside the mourning hall will not attack here, and the evil ghosts outside the mourning hall will not attack here either.
The Red and White Devils and the Ghost Messenger have now formed a delicate balance. Although it is unknown how long this balance can last, they will be safe as long as they stay in this area until the balance is broken.
"Finally I can breathe a sigh of relief."
Wang Miao glanced at the coffin in the mourning hall and for the first time in his life felt grateful to a ghost.
However, before he could take his eyes off the coffin, his expression changed immediately.
Because the ghost rider whose neck was broken just now was now twitching constantly, and it seemed that he would stand up soon.
Upon discovering this, Wang Miao hurriedly patted the people around him.
"What's going on?" Jiang Shangbai frowned and looked in the direction Wang Miao pointed.
When he saw the twitching corpse clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
"Damn it, if that ghost revives, he will upset the balance in the mourning hall."
Although he didn't know how the balance was formed, Jiang Shangbai knew that once the ghost revived.
No matter he is controlled by the Red and White Evil Ghosts or captured by the ghost catcher, it will become the fuse that causes the mourning hall to get out of control.
"No, that's not right. It hasn't revived. Don't act rashly."
Zhong Shan looked carefully at the corpse that was twitching continuously.
The legs and feet of the corpse would twitch from time to time, as if trying to stand up, but it was never able to actually stand up.
This ghost was killed in the mourning hall. The ghost catcher and the red and white evil spirits were fighting for control of it. The twitching corpse was a manifestation of the two fighting for the ghost.
The Red and White Devils want to summon a ghost and control it, while the Ghost Messenger wants to seize the ghost and suppress it.
"It's a coincidence that there are exactly five ghosts in mourning in the funeral hall."
Someone looking at the mourning hall suddenly frowned and said.
"And the ghost bride's wedding dress, veil, embroidered shoes, plus the ghost wine and ghost spirit position, make exactly five ghosts." "No, that's not right. Don't forget the ghost catcher himself. According to intelligence, the actual number of ghost catchers to be suppressed is six." Jiang Shangbai shook his head.
“So, the ghost brides in the mourning hall now actually count as four suppressed places?” Zhong Shan asked doubtfully.
"Maybe. Or maybe, there is a ghost hiding somewhere we don't know."
Jiang Shangbai seemed to be thinking: "For example, Bai Sha's current position, and something else."
While they were discussing the current situation, suddenly, something strange happened.
A piece of white cloth appeared from nowhere and rushed straight towards Zhongshan.
"Again? Didn't they say this place wouldn't be attacked?"
Zhong Shan's face turned grim, and he quickly used the magical power of lighting a lamp to light the white cloth.
Fortunately, this white cloth, like the previous straw rope, was not a real evil spirit. After being burned, it quickly lost its magical power.
At the same time, on the other side.
Zhang Hao frowned as he looked at Jiang Shangbai and the others outside the mourning hall.
The current situation is indeed similar to the conclusion reached by Jiang Shangbai and others. He and the ghost catcher are in a stalemate.
The corrosive effect of the ghost spirit on the ghost catcher was not as strong as Zhang Hao imagined.
In the original novel, the ghost had successfully controlled Wei Jing and Yang Jian, but Zhang Hao overlooked one thing.
Wei Jing is Wei Jing, and the ghost catcher is the ghost catcher.
There is a huge gap between the two in terms of strength and weirdness.
Although Wei Jing possesses the supernatural power of a ghost messenger that anyone left alone will die, Wei Jing cannot restart infinitely like the ghost messenger.
In other words, Wei Jing is just a clone of the ghost catcher, not the ghost catcher himself.
The ghost messenger's ability to restart is achieved by abandoning his original body and identity.
Once Wei Jing restarts, the person who comes out of the restart will not be able to tell whether it is Wei Jing or the ghost.
Therefore, when facing the erosion of the ghost spirit, Wei Jing could not resist by restarting.
But now Zhang Hao is fighting against the ghost catcher itself. It is impossible for him to successfully erode the ghost catcher inside through a ghost spirit position.
Once the Ghost Messenger is eroded by the ghost spirit or is summoned by a ghost, he will immediately use his ability to restart.
With the constant restarts, Zhang Hao was unable to truly influence the ghost messenger in the ghost coffin.
The mourning hall came into being because of this, and it can be considered the last resistance of the ghost.
Now Zhang Hao can only suppress the ghost messenger and his ghost den by kneeling and crying, and confine it in the ghost coffin. He cannot really suppress the ghost messenger in the coffin.
In fact, the confrontation between Zhang Hao and the ghost was just like the situation in the darkness outside.
The darkness outside the mourning hall has basically been eroded by Zhang Hao's supernatural powers, except for this mourning hall, where Zhang Hao is unable to control the situation at all.
All he could do was to offset the other suppression points on the ghost catcher.
The bride has three and a half quotas, the ghost has half a suppression quota, and the drunkard has one quota, which just offsets the number of evil spirits in mourning outside.
Zhang Hao himself was constantly eroding the ghost messenger, but unfortunately, he was unable to influence the real ghost messenger no matter what.
Infinite restart is too unsolvable.
Moreover, neither Zhang Hao nor the ghost catcher are evil ghosts in the traditional sense.
Zhang Hao has the memory of a living person. Although the ghost has fewer memories, he also has some of Wei Jing's memories, which is enough for him to think simply.
In this case, even if both parties can complement each other as puzzle pieces, they are unwilling to be the one being controlled by the other.
