Chapter 97: The Haunted House, Complete the Shroud
Because he was originally colorless, when Meng Xiaodong invaded and replaced Zhang Hao, he was unable to replace the color on him and was unable to truly come out.

The phantoms of Meng Xiaodong stood not far from Zhang Hao, wanting to attack him, but in the end they could not really touch him.

The two sides are not in the same dimension. These Meng Xiaodongs exist in the past and have not really come to the present.

However, even so, the supernatural power in Zhang Hao was suppressed a lot at this time. The colorless black and white ghost cave could only surround Zhang Hao and could not spread out.

"It looks like it has reached its limit. In that case, let's bury him here."

"You won't lose out if you're buried in his hands." A pleasant female voice was heard.

What followed was an overwhelming, foul-smelling mass of soil, like grave soil soaked in blood, which covered Zhang Hao as if it wanted to bury him underground.

"You want to get rid of me so easily?"

Zhang Hao stared at the scene and was not panicked.

Although Luo Qian has the ability to bury everything and prevent the evil spirits from restarting.

But Zhang Hao knew that there was a prerequisite.

The evil spirit must be buried in the soil of a grave so that it cannot be restarted.

When the grave was about to bury Zhang Hao, his body suddenly disappeared from the spot.

He restarted himself, but this restart was not like Yang Jian's restart of his own time, which allowed his body to return to a certain time period.

Zhang Hao's restart was to restart him next to the ghost bride.

This is also the reason why Zhang Hao asked the ghost bride to hide in the ghost painting world first.

As long as the bride is still there, he can restart through the bride indefinitely.

The only difference is that compared to before, when he needed to restart only after being restricted and imprisoned, when facing Luo Qian, Zhang Hao needed to restart in advance before being buried in the grave.

Without a target, Luo Qian’s burial would naturally be ineffective.

The ghost bride obviously would not restart on her own initiative, so Zhang Hao asked her to hide first.

"Escaped?"

Zhang Youhong looked at the pile of grave soil on the ground with some surprise.

Generally speaking, Luo Qian would not fail in burying someone, because he could not hide from the evil spirits that had not been restarted.

There is a restarted evil spirit. It is useless for him to restart himself in front of Luo Qian, and the restart time cannot affect Luo Qian's grave soil.

That is the soil that can bury the present and cannot be affected by the past and future.

"Sure enough, a ghost with intelligence, even if it is at a relatively low level, is still a big problem to deal with."

Zhang Youhong looked at the portrait in the corner of the red room, intending to enter the world of ghost paintings through there to restrict Zhang Hao and the ghost bride.

But at this time.

"boom!"

A coffin suddenly appeared in the room, and four evil spirits in mourning clothes carrying the coffin bumped into Zhang Youhong.

Zhang Youhong was knocked away and hit the wall heavily.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhang Youhong seemed to have suffered considerable damage from this attack.

But it is normal. Now Zhang Youhong is just a ghost of a stick of incense.

The ghost's mindless suppression ability may not be able to suppress Zhang Youhong, but it may not be the case for Liu Qingqing.

With this collision, Liu Qingqing's body suffered a great blow, and the red cheongsam on her body and the pair of high heels on her feet now seemed less bright.

If it weren't for Zhang Youhong's incense stick, Liu Qingqing would have died even if she had several ghosts under her control.

Zhang Youhong slowly stood up, but at this moment, something strange happened.

The scarlet wall seemed to have suddenly come alive, sticking tightly to Zhang Youhong's body.

The walls began to wriggle, and concrete began to seep into the cracks in Zhang Youhong's wooden body.

"Is this thing finally taking action?"

Zhang Hao looked at this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

He dared to fight Zhang Youhong here, so naturally he was not completely without confidence.

The Red Room has already made a deal with Zhang Hao, and now the Ghost Bride is involved with the Red Room.

Considering the cheongsam Liu Qingqing was wearing, under such circumstances, an attack in the Red Room was inevitable.

But at this moment, the puppets summoned by Zhang Youhong before began to move.

Two of the puppets representing Luo Wensong walked quickly to the door of the red room and knocked on the blood-red door.

"Boom! Boom!"

The horrifying knock on the door echoed in the old house. This time there was no red room to cover it up, so everyone heard the sound.

"Is this the knocking sound of the knocking ghost?"

Yang Jian, who had just returned to the coffin, heard the voice and his face changed.

Why does the knocking sound of the knocker be heard everywhere?
It was one of the first supernatural events I encountered that was a knocking ghost, but later in the ghost post office I encountered a door-opening ghost that made the same knocking sound.

Now there is a knocking sound at this place again. What kind of ghost is it?

For some reason, hearing the knock on the door, Yang Jian felt uneasy.

Although he couldn't see the source, he had observed that after the knock on the door, the room, which had begun to get out of control, calmed down again.

Although the knock on the door was not as terrifying as the sound from the old man in the coffin, it still suppressed many evil spirits.

This is the case with the evil ghost in the old house, let alone the red room which is the target of the knocks.

The wall that was about to swallow Liu Qingqing whole, leaving only a pair of feet outside, soon spit out a naked puppet.

"Dare you to steal my things?"

The puppet stood up and looked towards the red room.

The dark ghost shadow spread all around, and soon, the originally red wall turned pitch black.

Li Qingzhi's ghost invaded the wall.

The ghost's ability is to splice bodies and seize memories, but in Li Qingzhi's hands, it is obviously more than that.

The body was just a concept to him. Even the wall, facing Li Qingzhi's ghost, belonged to the concept of the body.

Soon, a red cheongsam and a pair of red high-heeled shoes were thrown out from the dark wall.

Zhang Youhong took the cheongsam and quickly put it on.

"It's really troublesome."

Zhang Youhong, who was wearing a cheongsam, did not attack Zhang Hao again this time. She just looked at the red room with fear, and then left.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to take action against Zhang Hao, but mainly because she has no way to imprison Zhang Hao in this red room.

Her supernatural powers are limited, and she also needs to resurrect Liu Qingqing to ensure Sister Hong's existence.

Whether it was the seven elders that had just been copied out, or the various supernatural powers used by these people, it was a huge drain on Zhang Youhong.

If she were still alive at her peak, she would naturally not worry about the consumption of so many dolls.

But now she is just a stick of incense after all. Whether it is Luo Wensong's attack or Meng Xiaodong's attack, in essence, they are all consuming the spiritual power of this stick of incense.

Looking at Zhang Youhong leaving the red room, Zhang Hao did not try to stop her.

Although actively restarting can indeed avoid being buried, that is only when Zhang Youhong does not continue to stack the supernatural powers.

If Zhang Youhong is forced into a corner, you can actively dodge one Luo Qian, and you can barely dodge two Luo Qians, but what about three or four?
Perhaps he had just been restarted, and he was probably imprisoned by another person.

Without Zhang Youhong, the room returned to peace again.

But compared to the room that looked tidy and like a new house before, the room now is undoubtedly messy.

The wall that looked scarlet because of the red light was now full of potholes and there was a big hole on it, like an old and dilapidated house.

In the room, piles of grave soil mixed with blood and emitting a fishy smell were piled up in the room, like graves without tombstones.

Zhang Hao walked to the big hole in the wall of the room. Although it looked like a big hole, it actually did not cause much damage to the red room.

This thing will take some time to recover.

The real trouble is the grave soil in the room. This grave soil carries Luo Qian's spirit and is very troublesome to clean up.

Zhang Hao tried to use the influence of the ghost, but failed to move it away, so he could only clean it up with physical means.

However, when Zhang Hao took out a few shovels from the world of ghost paintings and planned to clean the graves in the room, the shovels seemed to melt when they were inserted into the soil.

These shovels are all products derived from ghost paintings. When they touch the grave soil, they will be eroded by the spirits above.

In the current situation, an ordinary shovel is needed to remove the grave soil.

But Zhang Hao naturally didn't want to spend that time. He immediately summoned a group of ghosts controlled by the ghost summoner and asked them to dig up the soil with their hands and throw it outside the room.

The soil in the grave is indeed scary when it is buried, but when it leaves only a soil without a source, it is not so scary anymore.

Even when the grave was dug up from the outside, these evil spirits were not affected at all.

Zhang Hao was sure that everything was fine, then he summoned the ghost bride and counted the losses caused by the derived ghost paintings.

Last time in Dadong City, the ghost bride spawned more than 10,000 ghost paintings.

However, about one-tenth of the amount was consumed just for Zhang Youhong.

The confrontation between Zhang Hao and Zhang Youhong just now lasted less than a minute.

This also includes the time when Zhang Hao ran into Zhang Youhong again after restarting.

In such a short period of time, so many derivatives of ghost paintings were lost. The horror of the Seven Elders is unimaginable.

"We still have to find a way to complete the puzzle."

"It's time to put the control of ghost blood on the agenda. On my side, I also need to hurry up and complete the ghost messengers."

Zhang Hao walked to the door of the room, his eyes moving constantly as he thought about his next plans.

Controlling ghost blood is the key to the bride's transformation into a more terrifying person.

Only by completing the ghost catcher himself can he have a mourning hall comparable to the red room, so that he will not be hindered when confronting people of the level of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao looked at the bride.

After establishing a connection with the red room, the ghost bride's horror level has increased a lot.

After Zhang Hao controlled the black and white spirits and obtained the ghost coffin, his level of terror was not much different from that of the bride.

But later, the ghost bride continued to control the female corpses in the ghost cupboard, and the connection with the red room widened the gap again.

There is also the ghost rice. After the ghost rice is stained with blood, it can be eaten by evil spirits. The evil spirit will not attack the person who fed it the ghost rice for a period of time.

This thing can be used to soak ghost blood and feed it to other evil ghosts.

As for what would happen, Zhang Hao had no idea.

But for the time being, this thing is just a consumable and doesn't mean much to Zhang Hao.

The reason why he wanted such a bowl of rice was mainly because he wanted to find the source of the ghost rice through this bowl of rice.

"Complete the ghost messenger to build the mourning hall, grave soil, ghost blood, and complete the red room."

After planning all this, Zhang Hao raised his hand again. On his left hand, he was wearing a jade bracelet.

The jade bracelets come in a pair and can deepen the connection between the wearers, allowing them to sense each other's location.

Zhang Hao and the ghost bride each wore a jade bracelet, and from now on they could sense each other's presence no matter how far away they were.

This solves the problem of the ghost searching for relatives needing to use the perception of both parties to restart.

From now on, as long as he carries this thing with him, even if Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride are separated by two terrifying ghost dens, they will be able to restart immediately beside each other.

Although, at present, it is almost impossible to completely isolate the existence of the bride ghost.

Zhang Hao slowly walked out of the room and closed the door.

"Bride, try it, can we use the derived painting to enter the red room now?" Zhang Hao said to the ghost bride beside him.

When the ghost bride heard Zhang Hao's words, a gray ghost den soon covered the two of them.

The next moment, Zhang Hao and the bride returned to the red room.

Closing the door of the red room will not isolate the ghost paintings inside. In this way, when Zhang Dong revives in the future, he will not have to worry about not being able to enter the red room.

Leaving the red room, Zhang Hao took the bride and walked towards the lobby of the ancient house.

At this time, Liu Qingqing had already returned to the team of Yang Jian and others, and was working together with Yang Jian and others to deal with those evil spirits.

However, when Zhang Hao was cleaning the soil in the room, the fifth day seemed to be about to pass.

At this time, the evil spirits in the room were getting out of control, and the old man in the coffin could no longer balance so many evil spirits and began to attack Yang Jian and the others.

Looking at the red figure in the crowd, Zhang Hao had the thought of taking the opportunity to kill the other person, but he quickly gave up.

Let’s wait until we leave the old house. God knows what tricks Zhang Dong and Zhang Youhong have left in this old house?
Zhang Hao and the ghost bride were also discovered when they walked out. Yang Jian and others stopped talking for a moment when they saw them.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao had no intention of taking action against them here.

He had already taken everything in the old house that was useful to him, so there was no need to stay here any longer.

Although Zhang Hao is a ghost and seems immortal and has plenty of time, his enemies will continue to grow.

When the seven elders of the Republic of China saw Zhang Hao appear, they would immediately think of imprisoning him.

At the headquarters, the Red and White Devils represented by Zhang Hao were also regarded as the number one enemy.

After leaving the old house, Zhang Hao walked along the winding path towards the road outside.

When we arrived at the road outside Lao Lin, the haunted bus had returned to normal without us noticing and left.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao also asked the bride to release the ghost and return to the Ghost News Agency.

"Guest, do you need anything?"

As soon as Zhang Hao and the ghost bride appeared in the newspaper office, a controlled waiter immediately came forward.

Zhang Hao ignored the waiter. Caesar Hotel was just a transit station for him.

After appearing in Caesar Hotel, Zhang Hao quickly used the ghost den to invade the hotels derived from Caesar Hotel and left the real Caesar Hotel.

"Tap Tap!"

However, at this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly stopped far away from Zhang Hao and the bride.

It was the corpse of a tall man, his upper body wrapped in an old shroud.

"It's Li Qingzhi's body."

Zhang Hao stared at the tall male corpse, but his attention was not on the tall male corpse, but on the shroud.

The shroud was supposed to cover the entire body, but now it only covered half of the body, and the loose part left a long trail on the ground.

"This thing is great. I just happen to be lacking a weapon that can explode instantly."

Zhang Hao’s crying could now sound terrifying, but that would take time.

Kneeling down means death. For weak ghost riders, this is a terrifying situation with no solution. However, facing some powerful ghost riders, it cannot play a big enough role.

The black and white ghost cave is similar. This thing can turn people who have lost their color into portraits, but when facing some evil spirits that can resist, this invasion will be slowed down.

These powerful ghost riders often have some evil spirits to protect themselves, which can resist or slow down this fatal attack.

Now encountering the corpse of Li Qingzhi just makes up for Zhang Hao's lack of instant explosive means.

Although the shroud's attack speed is not fast and it is easy to break free from it, don't forget that Zhang Hao has the Ghost White Curtain in his hand.

The shroud was able to wrap up the tall male corpse left behind by Li Qingzhi. Although the man finally escaped after a period of time, it was enough to illustrate the suppressive power of the shroud.

Zhang Hao held the bride's hand and immediately used his supernatural power to summon ghosts to control the tall male corpse to walk towards this side.

He had no intention of confronting the ghost.

This ghost was very scary, so Zhang Hao only used the ghost-summoning technique to influence his route and had no intention of controlling him by force.

So when the tall male corpse passed by Zhang Hao, he did not make any move.

Only when the tall male corpse was some distance away from him did Zhang Hao reach out and grab the long trail of the shroud on the ground with one hand.

As soon as Zhang Hao grabbed the shroud, the part that was originally wrapped around the tall male corpse was immediately loosened and then rolled towards Zhang Hao.

But at this moment, a white curtain around Zhang Hao's waist quickly stretched out and rolled towards the shroud.

If we look at it purely in terms of suppressing power, Ghost White Curtain is naturally unable to compete with the Shroud.

But don’t forget that the current owner of the white curtain is Zhang Hao.

The white curtain he tied around his waist now carried some of his supernatural powers.

In this case, even though Ghost White Curtain still cannot compare with the Shroud, it still has the capital to fight back.

The two pieces of white cloth were wrapped around each other, and they kept growing longer, falling into a state of confrontation.

This was the first time that Zhang Hao fought against other evil spirits while completing a puzzle.

He lost his ability to move, and a terrifying and cold aura emanated from him.

Fortunately, the shroud is not as terrifying as Zhang Hao's.

After all, this thing was just a supernatural object that had not been revived. After spending some time, Zhang Hao successfully controlled it.

At this time, the shroud and the ghost white curtain were entangled together, complementing each other as a puzzle to form a white curtain wrapped around Zhang Hao's waist.

The White Curtain increases the Shroud's flexibility, while the Shroud increases the White Curtain's offensiveness.
