Chapter 73 Black and White Portrait

Chapter 73 Black and White Portrait
As the woman in red walked up to the fourth floor, Zhang Hao immediately used his ability to summon ghosts.

"No, something's wrong."

The moment Zhang Hao felt the ghost come into contact with the woman in red, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because he did not control the woman in red at the first time, instead the two sides were caught in a kind of confrontation.

When looking at the woman in red, Zhang Hao could feel that the image of a woman involuntarily emerged in his memory.

This is the murder pattern of the ghost painting, "See her."

Seeing her here does not simply mean seeing her. Even if a ghost-like appearance appears in your mind, it also falls into the category of seeing her.

As the picture in his mind became clearer and clearer, Zhang Hao could even feel a pair of strange, white, flawless hands, as shaped like porcelain jade bottles, reaching out while he was thinking.

The woman in red that appeared in his mind seemed to be walking out of Zhang Hao's consciousness.

Fortunately, when the red-clothed woman's hands were about to touch Zhang Hao in her consciousness, they were suddenly blocked.

It was the ghost bride's ability that prevented the ghost painting from eroding Zhang Hao.

Now Zhang Hao is holding hands with the ghost bride, and is in the state of summoning ghosts and spirits.

In this case, the ghost bride's supernatural power will continue to flow into Zhang Hao's body, naturally including the red veil's ability to protect consciousness.

The attack of the ghost painting was blocked by the red veil, and Zhang Hao finally woke up from the process of involuntarily recalling and thinking about the ghost painting.

He looked at the ghost painting with fear.

If he had not held the bride's hand to summon the ghost, he would probably have been killed by the ghost painting.

The supernatural power of the ghost painting was too terrifying. It was the world's first S-level supernatural event, and Zhang Hao had no capital to face it head-on.

"The source ghost is not the derived evil ghost."

Zhang Hao stared at the woman in red and made a conclusion in his heart.

This level is definitely not something that can be achieved by derived ghost paintings.

But according to the information from the headquarters, ghost paintings cannot enter the paintings, right?

Zhang Hao stared at the ghost painting, but this time he didn't look at her face, but at her white hands.

There is a missing hole on the palm of the ghost painting's right hand.

The area near the hole was grayish white, as if a part was missing, or as if it was a wound left by a sharp weapon.

"Yes, my previous thinking was wrong."

Zhang Hao reacted quickly and realized that the building he was in was the core area of ​​the ghost painting.

If in other painting worlds, the ghost painting cannot be entered because of the golden candlestick, that is normal.

But this place is the world in the painting derived from the frame of the ghost painting itself.

Even if one hand is nailed, it is easy for the ghost painting to influence the painting world in which its frame is located.

After all, it is impossible to say that a ghost cannot use its own ghost nest because it is firmly nailed by a piece of gold.

Before Zhang Hao could continue thinking, the ghost bride beside him had already taken action.

After helping Zhang Hao resist the ghost of the ghost painting, the bride let go of his hand and walked forward.

The approaching ghost bride also attracted the ghost painting's attention. Without the influence of ghosts and spirits, she immediately walked towards the ghost bride.

Two female ghosts in red just came together like this.

As the two sides came into contact, paper ashes began to fall from the sky and the building began to become strange.

It seems that after coming into contact with the ghost bride, the building is evolving towards something unknown.

"here we go."

Zhang Hao watched the bride come into contact with the ghost painting and did not take any further action. Instead, he just stood there straight.

When the two terrifying ghosts came into contact, Zhang Hao no longer had any means to influence the confrontation between them as they complemented each other.

The only thing that can be done is to provide the ghost bride with her own supernatural power when the ghost bride is at a disadvantage, so as to ensure that the ghost bride can become the dominant evil spirit.

As the two ghosts held hands together, the appearance of the ghost painting began to change.

The clothes on her body were slowly becoming clearer. They were transforming into the wedding dress of the ghost bride. At some point, a red veil appeared behind her head.

But the difference is that the red veil painted on the ghost painting does not cover her face, but is only draped over her hair.

Similarly, changes are also taking place in the ghost bride.

The pale flesh and blood that was previously generated by the ghost's search for relatives became white, smooth, and extremely delicate at this moment. It was completely unlike the skin that could be possessed in the real world, but instead looked like smooth white jade.

at the same time.

In Huanggang Village.

As Huanggang Village was split, Li Jun and others appeared again and came to another strange place.

This is a three-story rural house. At this moment, the door of the house is open, and it is pitch black inside. You can't see your hand in front of you, as if all the light has disappeared.

But in this dark house, there was a faint sound of heavy footsteps, as if someone was walking in the house.

Sometimes he walked up the stairs, sometimes he paced on the roof, and sometimes there were some strange noises.

There is no doubt that there is a ghost in this three-story house.

"Do you want to continue, Li Jun? This is already the seventh house we have checked. You can't hold out for much longer in this state. If you continue like this, you will soon die from the resurrected evil spirit."

With the successful invasion of the ghost painting, Li Jun and others could no longer move normally inside.

Because if they are not careful, just one wrong step, they will be separated.

For this purpose, Li Jun had to use his own ghost cave.

It’s strange to say, but when facing the ghost catcher, Li Jun’s ghost had almost no ability to fight back.

However, with the invasion of the ghost cave, Li Jun actually felt that the difficulty of using the ghost cave was reduced a lot.

Although he was still greatly affected, he knew that it was only because the difference in the degree of terror between the two sides was too great, and it was not that the ghost den was suppressed.

Li Jun, who was walking in the front, had slow steps and a withered body, like a burnt corpse, which made people feel creepy.

Through the cracks in the charred flesh, eerie green ghost fire was burning.

The green light formed Li Jun's ghost domain, forcing out a path in the dark environment.

"I take a big responsibility for the ghost messenger incident." Li Jun looked back slightly.

"If I hadn't disobeyed orders, with the security level of the laboratory, that thing would never have escaped. It would have been trapped inside and would not have become an unsolvable existence like it is now."

Half of his face was charred, the flesh and blood were gone, and the eyeballs in his eye sockets were burned out, leaving only an empty hole.

Through the hole, not a single bit of flesh and blood could be seen, only a ball of bottomless and eerie flames.

There seemed to be many strange silhouettes in the depths of the flames, struggling to emerge.

They also went to the center of Huanggang Village just now.

But for some unknown reason, the Red and White Devils and the Ghost Messenger disappeared. Now, if they wanted to imprison the Ghost Messenger, they could only search one house at a time.

Others understood that Li Jun's condition was not far from the revival of the evil spirit.

If you want to survive, you either have to withdraw from this operation and go back to control the third ghost to find a new balance, or die here.

Judging from Li Jun's current thoughts, he obviously wants to fight here.

Under the cover of Li Jun's ghost fire, everyone slowly walked into the second floor.

There was nothing in the dim room except some old furniture and some farm tools that had not been used for years.

"Nothing? How is that possible?" someone exclaimed.

They clearly heard footsteps just now when they were downstairs.

But when I walked into the second floor, I found nothing.

"Look here." Ah Hong said, pointing at the wall.

On the wall that Ah Hong pointed to, there was an old black-and-white portrait hanging there.

It was a portrait of an old man. In rural areas, old people who died would leave portraits at home. It was a very common thing.

The fallen portrait lay quietly on the ground.

Under the eerie candlelight, the appearance of an old man in the portrait became blurry and eerie, with the upper half of his face shrouded in darkness and unable to be seen clearly.

But the lower half of the old man's face seemed to be smiling. The smile seemed kind, but it revealed a creepy horror.

There are also some unclear words next to the portrait.

It seems to be the old man's birth and death dates, children and grandchildren and so on.

"The only strange thing in this room is this portrait. Could it be that the noise just now was caused by this portrait?"

Han Mo frowned. He was very sensitive to funeral-related things, including portraits. This black and white portrait was weird and didn't look like a normal portrait at all.

Looking at the dim and colorless face of the old man in the portrait, a creepy feeling gradually came over me.

"Is it another newly discovered ghost?" Li Jun frowned and didn't dare to get close. He looked at the ghost candle in his hand.

The burning speed is still very steady, which shows that there are no ghosts around.

But if there is no ghost, then what is this strange portrait in front of us?
The information doesn't match at all.

"No matter whether there is a problem with this portrait or not, the safest way is to keep it in custody to avoid any accidents." Liu San said immediately, and he took out a handbag he carried with him.

It is made of gold.

Because gold has good ductility, this kind of thing is more suitable for carrying around.

"That makes sense. Put this thing away first and then leave this room. There's something weird here and I have a bad feeling about it." Xu Yiping stepped forward with a golden box.

"The disappearing ghosts, the mysterious portraits. The changes are getting bigger and bigger. This is no longer as simple as the Red and White Devils or the ghost messenger."

Ah Hong frowned and murmured softly, feeling that they and others had entered a place where a terrifying and unknown evil spirit existed.

"Be careful." Li Jun reminded.

"The Ghost Candle is very stable and there is no danger for the time being." Liu San took a look and said calmly.

However, just as Xu Yiping picked up the portrait and was about to put it into the golden box, he discovered something unusual in the portrait.

The old man in the black and white photo is a man with wrinkles all over his face and a lifeless look, like a photo of a corpse.

But he had his eyes open, with a smile on his lips, as if he was looking around strangely.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it seems that this old man is observing you, and it makes you feel cold in your heart.

The background of this portrait is a dark, dark house.

The door to the first floor of the house was open and it was pitch black inside, exactly the same as the house they were in now.

No, this portrait seems to have been taken at the gate of this house.

Xu Yiping's eyelids twitched slightly. His attention was not on the identical background house, but on the few people standing strangely behind the portrait of the old man.

There are two standing on the left and three on the right.

Five people in total.

These five people only have a vague outline, just like an oil painting, which is not very clear, but some physical characteristics of these five people can still be judged.

One of them had blurred features, like a paper man. Another was holding a candle with a gray-black flame burning on it. Another had something smeared on his face.
“These are the five of us.”

As Liu San walked forward, his eyes narrowed, he felt his scalp explode, and he felt an indescribable chill in his heart.

Although the flame of the burning candle in the painting is gray-black, isn’t green also gray-black in those black and white TVs?

"How is it possible that the five of us are also in this portrait?"

Li Jun was afraid of danger, so he moved closer with the ghost candle. When he saw this scene, he was instantly shocked and suspicious.

"When? When did this happen? Is this a joke? We took a picture with a ghost?"

Han Mo came over to take a look and immediately became uneasy.

Because this strange portrait seems to foreshadow something.

"Stop looking, put your things away, and let's get out of here immediately."

Faced with the unknown, Li Jun immediately made a judgment and retreated.

He put the strange portrait into the bag, sealed it, and then immediately turned around and left.

"Follow us, we have already explored this house. We don't have time to waste here. Let's go to the next house. We must find the ghost messenger as soon as possible."

At this moment, everyone else was eager to leave this strange house, and the five of them walked outside.

However, when they quickly walked out of the house and reached the front door, the situation in front of them made them stop suddenly.

A blurry black figure was standing not far in front of the gate with his back to the crowd.

Although the other person's body was stiff and motionless, one could vaguely tell from the blurry back that it was that of an old man.

The back of an old man, shrouded in darkness in the house, with five people standing behind him.
This scene?
Li Jun, Liu San, Han Mo and the other five people showed looks of horror on their faces.

This is exactly the same as the previous portrait.

Could it be that the dead person in the portrait was not the old man, but the five of them?
And the worst thing is that the ghost candle in Li Jun's hand was flickering at this moment.

The ghost candle began to burn violently as if it had expanded, and the candle was consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the ghost candle burned out, the five people seemed to be changing into the situation in the photo.

Their clothes and houses began to fade, turning black and white, and then their skin and flesh.

Afterwards, even the faint green flame on Li Jun's body and the blush on Ah Hong's face began to fade slowly and turned black and white.

You know, the dark green flame on Li Jun's body is not an ordinary flame.

The same goes for the blush on Ah Hong, which was taken out of the makeup box and applied on her.

But behind this strange old man, both the ghost fire on Li Jun's body and the blush on Ah Hong's face began to lose their color.

"How is that possible? These are two ghosts!"

Han Mo widened his eyes, staring at the will-o'-the-wisp and blush that were losing color, his eyes full of disbelief.

Even ghosts have lost their color. How terrifying is this old man?

However, there was no response to their words, and even after completely losing their color, they opened their mouths but could not make a sound.

Amid the five people's incredible expressions, they slowly froze, and finally only a black and white photo fell to the ground.

The upper half of the old man’s face in the photo cannot be seen clearly. One can only see that the lower half of his face seems to be showing a strange smile and looking in a certain direction.

Behind the old man, five people were like his children, standing in order on the left and right sides of him, as if they were taking a family portrait.

However, this family photo cannot possibly be in black and white.

If it was a portrait, it was impossible for five people to take the photo at the same time.

It's impossible to take a family portrait in the same way as a posthumous photo, right?
Meanwhile, the real world.

The gray paper ash in the sky, like dark clouds, suddenly disappeared at some point.

Except for a part of people who were accidentally killed by ghost paintings, nothing seemed to have happened in the entire Dajing City.

However, the headquarters became even more anxious about this.

After the ghost den disappeared, some strange images began to appear in various areas of Dajing City.

Along with the appearance of these strange portraits, there are often supernatural events one after another.

At this time, Yang Jian was sitting on the sofa in a villa outside Dajing City, holding a portrait covered with black cloth in his hand.

This is a weird painting. Logically, Yang Jian should isolate her immediately.

But now he was staring at the portrait covered by the black cloth, and at the same time, some information that had been buried in his mind for some time was brought out by this scene.

This ghost has a familiar feeling.

Like I've seen it before.

No, he hadn't seen it before, but some of it looked familiar to him.

The blurry red clothes on the ghost in the ghost painting look a bit like the clothes of the ghost bride that I saw on the haunted bus.

Not sure if it is the same piece, after all, the painting is very blurry and many details cannot be seen.

But the pair of hands exposed and the image of the woman reminded Yang Jian of a supernatural object he had placed in Dachang City.

Ghost cupboard.

To be precise, it was the last deal he made with Gui Cabinet.

"Is the ghost painting the ghost that the ghost cabinet is looking for?" Yang Jian frowned.

Although the clothes on the ghost painting were a little blurry, they were very similar to those of the ghost bride, and the woman in the photo given by the ghost cabinet was almost exactly the same as the ghost painting.

The most important thing is that the background behind the woman in that photo is where the ghost bride first appeared.

"Ghost cabinet, ghost painting, ghost bride, ghost messenger."

Muttering these names, Yang Jian couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Everything that seems unrelated seems to have some connection after being associated with the ghost cabinet.

Can these S-level supernatural events in Dajing City really be solved so easily?
Yang Jian looked up at the city in the distance with confusion and fear in his eyes.

The joke Feng Quan had made seemed to come true at this moment.
