Chapter 95 Entering the Red Room

Chapter 95 Entering the Red Room
When Zhang Hao saw Liu Qingqing, he and the ghost bride immediately attacked her.

However, what happened next surprised Zhang Hao.

Just as Zhang Hao grabbed Liu Qingqing, the special attack part of his body that belonged to the ghost seeking relatives against women was activated, and Liu Qingqing fell down directly.

"So weak?"

Zhang Hao was a little surprised. Judging from the scene where Liu Qingqing attacked Zhou Deng before, she shouldn't be so weak.

But Zhang Hao reacted quickly.

Yes, Liu Qingqing’s situation is very special now, between a living person and a dead person.

Perhaps it will take until the red room is opened before Zhang Youhong can control her body again and help her revive.

The current Liu Qingqing is no different from being dead, as it is the evil spirit in her body that is controlling her.

"Should we take this opportunity to lock her up in a ghost painting?"

Once Zhang Hao had the idea, he could no longer suppress it.

In the dark corridor, pieces of ashes like burnt paper fell down and quickly covered Liu Qingqing.

However, what was strange was that no matter how Zhang Hao used the ghost cave, Liu Qingqing was like being nailed to this ancient house by a nail and could not move at all.

It seems that Zhang Youhong made some arrangements when Liu Qingqing crawled out of the grave.

"Forget it. In that case, I'll just keep suppressing her and make sure she can't enter the red room before me."

Zhang Hao grabbed Liu Qingqing's body and dragged her deep into the corridor.

It’s strange that the ghost den couldn’t take Liu Qingqing away, but Zhang Hao was able to drag Liu Qingqing’s body away without any hindrance.

Liu Qingqing's skin rubbed against the ground, leaving a long bloodstain.

The skin that was worn away revealed the appearance inside. Under Liu Qingqing's skin was not flesh and blood, but a piece of wood.

At this time, Liu Qingqing was actually a puppet wrapped in human skin, and the flesh and bones in her body had long been replaced by the puppet.

Zhang Hao dragged Liu Qingqing to a room, threw her in, and then stood quietly at the door waiting.

This corridor is bottomless and there is no end in sight. Even Zhang Hao doesn't dare to go deeper.

Perhaps deep in the corridor, there might be some even more terrifying and invincible evil spirits imprisoned. It is possible that evil spirits at the level of the Seven Elders are imprisoned in the depths.

While Zhang Hao was suppressing Liu Qingqing, Yang Jian and others in the lobby also discovered certain situations.

They opened the lid of the coffin, and the old man in the coffin strangely reached a balance with the evil spirit in the lobby.

Horrible and incomprehensible, looking at the balanced lobby, Yang Jian and others had such thoughts in their hearts.

It is really incomprehensible. There are probably dozens of ghosts in the lobby now. Add the ghosts in the corridors and skylights, there are probably no less than a hundred.

Moreover, each of these evil spirits is not a simple creature. Once they appear in the outside world, they will cause a huge impact.

Although these ghosts have not yet revived to their most terrifying and unpredictable state, the old man's body has not fully revived at this time either.

However, even in this situation, the old man's body was able to achieve a balance with so many ghosts. It is hard to imagine how terrifying the old man was when he was alive.

"The dangers of the old house are more complicated than expected. Even if I achieve a temporary balance, this balance will be broken in the end."

Yang Jian, who was relieved at this time, turned his head and looked at the strange old man sitting in the coffin.

The old man's face revealed a ferocious expression, eerie and terrifying, as if he was about to turn into a ghost awakening.

But in the end, the old man never recovered.

After all, it is only the fourth day, and there are still three days until the seventh day. If the old man recovers on the fourth day, I am afraid no one will be able to stay here any longer.

"It should be safe now." Suddenly, Zhou Deng came over and spoke.

The voice was dull and emphasized, and it sounded like two people were speaking in unison, except that the other voice was so horrible that it made the hair on your body stand on end.

He still dares to speak?
Daqiang looked at him and was a little surprised, because this man named Zhou Deng was so brave. He really didn't know who gave him such courage.

You know, among so many evil spirits, there are some that will kill people when they speak.

However, nothing unusual happened after Zhou Deng spoke.

Yang Jian glanced at him and said, "Not yet. Most of the ghosts have stopped moving, but a few can still move."

"Moreover, the evil spirits that can move in this environment will be extremely terrifying. I believe you know the reason yourself."

Zhou Deng nodded and said, "A ghost that cannot be suppressed in this situation must be of a very high level of terror, like the level of the Red and White Devils. If they are targeted, they will most likely die."

"I'm afraid this balance won't last long. It's only the fourth day. Do you have any good plans? If not, I'll just have to keep pretending to be dead." Zhou Deng said again.
"Just don't mess around. I need your help with something now." Yang Jian said.

"Captain Yang, we are colleagues, so just speak up," Zhou Deng said.

Yang Jian glanced at him and said, "Stand here and help me keep an eye on the situation here. Call me if there is anything unusual. I have some personal matters to take care of."

"You told me before not to do anything stupid." Zhou Deng looked at him strangely.

Yang Jian said: "I am different from you. I know my limits. You just want to seize supernatural objects. I think you are addicted to the human skin mask you picked up."

"All supernatural items carry a very strong curse, which is basically equivalent to a ghost. It is not good to take too many of them. Sooner or later, you will be killed."

"When I die, Captain Yang, remember to burn some incense for me." Zhou Deng smiled and said casually.

He seemed to have put life and death behind him a long time ago, and did things without any scruples.

"Okay, I will." Yang Jian nodded.

Then he took action.

Holding a cracked spear, he ran along the left wall and tried to leave the hall.

However, the road ahead was blocked by strange figures, leaving basically no room for people to pass. However, this did not pose a problem for Yang Jian.

He raised his foot and stepped on the wall.

The whole person was walking on the wall in a way that went against common sense.

Because Yang Jian is a ghost now, his body is just a shell that hosts supernatural powers. Theoretically, he can change into someone else's body and survive, but he will lose his ghost hands and eyes.

He doesn't want to do that.

Because this is a disguised weakening of oneself and has no practical significance.

"It's time to open that room. This is a great opportunity for me while the supernatural is suppressed." Yang Jian thought to himself.

Even if there is danger in that room, it will be suppressed by the old man in the coffin, which is a kind of protection for himself.

And if there really is a ghost in that room, I wouldn’t mind having one more in this situation.

Everyone looked at Yang Jian walking away on the wall, all of them were confused and puzzled.

Do you still dare to take action at this time?
This is completely different from the previous cautious approach and is uncharacteristic.

Although there were many ghosts in Yang Jian’s lobby, the corridor was empty and shrouded in darkness, with no figures lingering.

He leaped down from the wall and landed in front of a locked wooden door.

The wooden door was tightly closed, with several bullet holes on it. These were caused by Zhou Deng shooting at it on the first day he arrived at the haunted house.

Blood seeped out of the bullet holes, staining half of the door red, which looked very special.

"It's time to complete the transaction with the Ghost Cabinet. I remember that the Ghost Cabinet only asked me to open the lock of this door, and there were no other extra requirements."

Yang Jian recalled the content of the transaction.

Confirmed.

He pulled out an old brass key.

The key style is ancient, it is from the Republic of China period, not a modern product.

Yang Jian acted decisively and immediately inserted the key into the copper lock on the wooden door.

really.

The lock and key matched, and when the key was turned slightly, there was a click.

The lock on the wooden door opened.

The ghost cabinet's transaction mission is completed.

Yang Jian paused for a moment, he carefully observed his surroundings and found that everything was normal and there were no terrible consequences caused by his opening the copper lock.

I felt slightly relieved.

He took off the copper lock and put it away.

Because he felt that this copper lock must be a supernatural object, otherwise how could it be possible to lock an ordinary wooden door in such a place?

No copper lock.

Crunch!

The wooden door made a friction sound and slowly opened a gap.

Yang Jian's eyelids twitched, and he felt something was wrong, because a red light came from the crack of the open door, and it seemed as if everything inside was scarlet, as if he was about to enter another world.

Ghostland?
This was the first thought that popped into his mind.

A reddish light shone from the room, casting a red hue on the dim corridor.

"Should I just leave here and not ask anything, or take the risk and go in to take a look?" Yang Jian was very calm. He was thinking and judging.

I have concerns in my heart.

I was worried that this room would disrupt the balance in the ancient house on the fourth day.

But the content of the transaction in the ghost cabinet made him very curious.

Why open this room?

Is this going to release something?

And what would be in this room?
All the mysteries are constantly stimulating Yang Jian’s inner curiosity.

He wants to uncover this secret that has a lot to do with the ghost cabinet, understand everything about the past, explore the truth of the supernatural, and finally find a way to survive.

However, at this moment, Yang Jian suddenly heard footsteps.

A ghost, no, that's not right, it's two ghosts, and at this moment, two ghosts are walking towards this side.

Yang Jian turned his head and saw Bai Sha, who was wearing mourning clothes, walking towards this direction with his bride, who was wearing a wedding dress.

"The Red and White Devils? Are they targeting me?"

Yang Jian noticed the red and white evil spirits approaching and immediately took a few steps back.

However, he soon discovered that the Red and White Devils' target was not him, but the red room.

"Has this thing always been targeting this red room? No wonder. I was wondering how such an intelligent ghost could haunt this haunted house without causing us any trouble."

Looking at the red and white evil spirits who walked straight towards the red room, paying no attention to themselves at all.

Even though Yang Jian lacked a lot of information and was unable to infer the true purpose of a ghost, he still reacted.

This ghost is using me to open this room. The red and white evil spirits appeared here, probably taking advantage of the old man's death to enter the red room.

After his death, this old man was able to balance dozens or even hundreds of evil spirits, which was extremely terrifying.

No matter whether the Red and White Devils came to the old man before or after his death, they would never have the chance to enter the ancient house.

Now that the old man is dead, he has come with the key to the red room. The Red and White Evils take advantage of the situation and let him spend the first few days in peace, and then open the red room after he lets down his guard.

"Hmm? Speaking of which, the first photo the ghost cabinet gave me was to determine the location of this ghost bride."

"Looking at it this way, this bride is really weird."

Yang Jian looked at the red and white evil spirits who walked into the red room and immediately gave up the idea of ​​going in to find out what was going on.

Although he was curious, he was not so curious as to lose his mind.

Facing the Red and White Devils head-on, he would have to be crazy to do this.

I'm afraid that even if all the captains of the headquarters were to join together, it would be difficult to deal with the Red and White Devils. The best they could do was to protect themselves.

After all, Yang Jian had witnessed last time how strange the behavior logic of an intelligent ghost was.

Zhang Hao was unaware of Yang Jian's inner thoughts.

After the red room was opened, it had already attracted all the attention of him and the ghost bride.

Pushing open the red door, a red room appeared before our eyes.

The walls are painted red, the floor is red, there are red cloth strips hanging on the ceiling, and there are even red lanterns hanging inside.

It was decorated like a wedding room, as if a wedding was being held there.

"There's no bed." Zhang Hao looked towards the middle of the room.

Originally there should have been a red bunk bed there, but now it is empty, as if it had been moved away.

"It looks like we'll have to go to Room 301 in Dachuan City again. I'm afraid that old man will be difficult to deal with given the current terror level of my bride and I."

With half of a supernatural bus, ghost blood, ghost lake, and the miscellaneous evil spirits in Yang Jian's body, he can reach the level of the Seven Elders.

The haunted bus alone is enough to suppress the thirty-six evil spirits that board the haunted bus.

Even if a captain in the later period controls several ghosts, he would still be treated as a single ghost and suppressed on the haunted bus.

With this calculation, even if it is half a haunted bus, and its horror level is less than half of the haunted bus, it can probably suppress no less than fifteen evil spirits.

There is also the Ghost Lake, which is also filled with countless evil spirits.

Even so, you still need ghost eyes and ghost blood to reach the level of the Seven Elders.

Zhang Hao stared at the empty space in the center of the room for a long time before turning his gaze elsewhere.

Then he discovered that there was a piece of furniture missing in the room and there was an empty space. The empty area was very suitable for placing a ghost cabinet.

I saw the red clothes hanger, it was empty, as if a piece of clothing was missing.

He saw the dressing table, which was missing some makeup tools and even a mirror.

He also saw a red table, but there were no stools next to the table, and it seemed that a red bench was missing.

On the table, there was a copper candlestick, but it was empty and there was no candle.

Deep in the room, in the corner opposite the door, there is an easel, perhaps used to display ghost paintings.

Everything is incomplete.

Make this room incomplete.

"Red bed, ghost cabinet, red stool, ghost makeup, ghost mirror, ghost scissors, is the missing piece on the hanger a wedding dress? Or is it the cheongsam?"

Zhang Hao thought of the red cheongsam that Liu Qingqing was wearing.

Although the Ghost Bride and Zhang Youhong are two different ghost riders in the Republic of China, this does not prevent the fact that the clothes they wear may all be puzzle pieces of the Red Room.

After all, no one stipulates that there should only be one piece of clothing on the hanger.

Also, it is normal for one to be worn by the bride and one to be placed on the hanger.

If it's just a wedding dress, it's impossible to let the bride not wear any clothes, right? Just hang the clothes on the hanger.

Perhaps the wedding dress on the ghost bride and the cheongsam on Liu Qingqing both came from this red room.

After all, the ghost makeup created Ah Hong, a ghost controller, the red wedding dress gave rise to the existence of the ghost bride, and the ghost cabinet was used as a puzzle by the wish ghost.

From this perspective, it is understandable that the two ghost riders of the Republic of China, who received the wedding dress and cheongsam respectively, grew to a powerful level.

They are all puzzles of the Red Room and evil spirits that walked out of the Red Room, but they are more than just puzzles of the Red Room.

Of course, for now, these are just Zhang Hao's guesses and cannot be proven.

"And the candlestick. The missing one should not be the ghost candle. After all, the ghost candle is a one-time supernatural item."

"Since this red room is a ghost, it should need some kind of supernatural item that can be used continuously. It should need a candle made by a real evil ghost."

"Speaking of which, in the original book, there seems to be a wardrobe in the island country. Maybe I can find some time to go and take a look."

Although Zhang Hao was not sure whether the wardrobe in the island country was a puzzle, he would not let it go if possible.

"Forget it, let's ignore this for now."

Zhang Hao raised his head, took out the ghost mirror and ghost scissors, and placed the ghost mirror on the dressing table as a makeup mirror.

Then he opened the drawer of the dressing table in the room and put a pair of rusty scissors into the drawer.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but since Zhang Hao is a ghost, illusions shouldn’t exist.

He could feel that after placing the ghost mirror and ghost scissors in the red room, the lingering red light in the room became a little brighter.

"Sure enough, this red room is starting to get stronger."

Zhang Hao looked around. After he and the ghost bride walked into the red room, the red light inside began to brighten at a slow, imperceptible speed.

After he took out the ghost mirror and ghost scissors, the room became brighter more quickly, and he only then noticed this situation.

"Bride, summon the ghost cabinet."

Looking at the situation in the room, Zhang Hao quickly took down the ghost mirror and picked up the ghost scissors in the drawer.

Although he could feel the Red Room growing stronger, he could not sense any signs of the bride controlling the Red Room.

In other words, such a simple completion is only improving the red room, and the current red room has not yet been controlled by the bride.

If it continues to be improved like this, the Ghost Bride will most likely become a part of the Red Room instead of controlling the Red Room.

Although the difference seems small and both complete the puzzle, there is actually a big difference.

The current bride has already been born with the concept of memory. Once the bride becomes a vassal of the Red Room, she will lose this part of the concept and become a puppet of the Red Room.
