Chapter 102: Forbidden City, Welcoming the Groom

After following the man in black for two or three minutes, the voice in front that kept reminding us of our location was still ringing.

However, Zhang Hao stopped by pulling the bride in front of him.

"Come here quickly."

The voice continued to ring. Even when Zhang Hao and the ghost bride stopped, the other party seemed to be still not far ahead, calling them to move forward.

"Something's wrong. This thing may not be a living person, but a ghost."

Obviously Zhang Hao had stopped moving forward, but the sound was still coming from a place not too far away, just a dozen meters ahead.

Zhang Hao turned around and wanted to leave, but found that the passage had disappeared at some point.

"Come here quickly, this way, don't go the wrong way."

The voice was still ringing, and compared to the previous appearance of a good guy reminding others, Zhang Hao now felt that the voice was weird.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

A strange crying sound rang out in the alley, and Zhang Hao directly activated the crying sound of a ghost face.

In this long and narrow alley, however, the crying sound could not spread. When it touched the wall, it was absorbed cleanly like sea water meeting a sponge.

The darkness that enveloped the entire city seemed to be able to suppress and weaken the supernatural influence of the evil spirit.

It seemed that except for the figure in the darkness, no one else could make any sound inside.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Hao immediately deployed his own ghost den.

Black and white ghosts invaded the alley, a coffin appeared, and thick, deep darkness enveloped the entire alley.

A white curtain stretched out from Zhang Hao's waist, extending for more than ten meters, rolling up the black shadow in the distance and suppressing him.

"Come here quickly."

However, the voice did not disappear. Instead, after Zhang Hao attacked the figure, the voice began to repeat, as if ringing in Zhang Hao's mind.

In the alley, figures in black robes appeared and kept waving at Zhang Hao, as if signaling him to go over there.

This sound seemed to carry an invisible spiritual power, causing Zhang Hao to move forward unconsciously.

The darkness in the alley seemed to be dispelled at this moment, and alleys appeared one after another in the depths of the alley, leading to nowhere.

But at this time, the bride moved, and as the image of the bride flashed through Zhang Hao's consciousness, all these sounds seemed to be blocked.

Now Zhang Hao not only shared the bride's ghost painting, but also shared part of the red veil's supernatural power.

Although it is just a shared supernatural power, it has changed dramatically compared to the past when there was no resistance to consciousness attacks.

The black and white ghosts continued to invade the alley, and soon Zhang Hao successfully tore open a passage back in the alley.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

Zhang Hao stared at the alley, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

In this case, the way those figures in the dark waved their hands was very similar to the movements the ghost bride made when she asked him to summon ghosts.

What's even more strange is that after Zhang Hao waved his hand, he could control the evil ghost's route, and this ghost could also attract evil ghosts.

If Zhang Hao was less terrifying and had no bride to protect him, he might have really fallen into the trap of this ghost.

Following the passage opened up by the ghost den to the city streets outside, Zhang Hao looked at this narrow alley again.

This road is bottomless and there is no end in sight, but for some reason, Zhang Hao had ignored this fact before.

I clearly know that this is a mysterious place, a road to a mysterious place connected by a yellow mud road built by the old man Shenli.

Logically speaking, after Zhang Hao entered here, he should not easily believe what is inside.

"It seems that this place is not simple. We need to be careful."

"Perhaps this is the place that the old man wanted to trap me."

Zhang Hao stared at the alley for a long time and memorized it clearly.

The ability of this ghost is very similar to the bride's ghost summoning ability, and it seems to have abilities that the bride's ghost summoning ability does not have. Perhaps the two can complement each other as puzzle pieces.

But at this moment, Zhang Hao didn't want to touch it.

When he just made the move, Zhang Hao felt some kind of obstruction. That invisible darkness should not be the weirdness in the alley, but the supernatural power of this city.

The situation in this city is still unclear. Imprisoning one of the ghosts at random may destroy the balance of the city and put oneself in some difficult to deal with troubles.

After crossing the alley, Zhang Hao continued walking forward.

As he walked forward, he looked at the surrounding buildings.

Some buildings in the city are completely dark and you can't see what's inside.

However, there was faint light in some buildings, and through the windows, one could see some strange figures moving around inside.

"Da da da!"

Just as Zhang Hao walked forward, he heard the sound of high heels stepping on the ground behind him.

He was very familiar with this sound, like the sound made when Zhang Youhong's high heels stepped on the ground.

Zhang Hao stopped and looked in the direction where the sound came from, but there was nothing behind him, as if everything was just an illusion.

But when Zhang Hao continued to walk forward, the sound of high heels tapping on the ground soon appeared again behind him.

The voice was urgent, and seemed to be approaching Zhang Hao.

However, when Zhang Hao looked behind him again, he did not find anything.

"Weird stuff."

Zhang Hao stared behind him for a long time, slowly turned around and walked again.

This time the footsteps appeared again, but Zhang Hao did not stop. Black and white ghosts began to appear and spread behind Zhang Hao.

Through the ghost den, Zhang Hao could feel that behind him, there was a pair of invisible high-heeled shoes constantly stepping on his ghost den.

This pair of high heels seemed to have the ability to ignore the ghosts walking. The other party's footsteps were very fast, and soon they were only five meters away from Zhang Hao.

At this time, Zhang Hao could feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Just like the pair of embroidered shoes on the bride's feet, perhaps when the other party gets close to her, she will launch some terrifying attack like the embroidered shoes.

Immediately, Zhang Hao took the ghost bride's hand and made a move behind him without looking back.

The strange footsteps stopped, Zhang Hao turned around again, and saw a figure standing behind him.

The person had long hair and wore a cheongsam that had turned gray due to the invasion of black and white ghosts. He also wore a pair of black high heels.

"Liu Qingqing? No, that's not right."

Zhang Hao looked at the other person and reacted quickly.

The cheongsam that the other person was wearing was not a ghost's, but just a cheongsam that was tainted with the spirit, so it lost its color in front of the black and white ghost den.

The pair of high heels on the other person's feet represented a real evil spirit, so in this case, they did not lose their color.

Zhang Hao walked up to the ghost, looked at it for a moment, and then lost interest.

Of the woman's entire body, only her high heels looked like a ghost; the rest of her body looked like an ordinary corpse.

After making sure that the ghost posed no threat, Zhang Hao reached out and pressed her to the ground, making her kneel there, then he turned around and continued forward.

Although this high-heeled female ghost is not strong, she has only been in this town for a short while and has been targeted by two ghosts one after another. This is enough to show how weird this place is.

Walking through this Chinese-style street, a park soon appeared on the side.

There is also a lake in the center of the park.

From a distance, it seemed that there was a beautiful woman playing in the lake.

However, when Zhang Hao looked at the other person, the woman in the lake seemed to have seen him as well. She swam towards him at an extremely fast speed and appeared at the lakeside soon, staring at Zhang Hao with a pair of resentful eyes.

"A ghost that can't leave the lake."

Zhang Hao didn't pay any attention to the female ghost in the lake. After remembering her existence in his heart, he continued to go deeper into the city.

This city is almost a ghost town. Zhang Hao has a hunch that he might gain a lot in this city.

In such a ghost town, there might be some puzzles that suit you.

After crossing the park and walking down two more streets, Zhang Hao seemed to have arrived at the center of the city.

"Forbidden City!"

Such a sign is hung in the courtyard of a two-story building in the city center.

"Forbidden City?" Zhang Hao looked at the yard and walked over with some curiosity.

He was not too worried about the danger. After all, the derivative ghost paintings left behind by the Caesar Hotel and Dadong City could help him escape.

Walking into the yard, it was different from what I imagined. There was no one inside, nor any ghosts. There was only a counter in the middle of the yard. After Zhang Hao and the bride approached, the counter opened strangely, and a wooden sign was thrown out by him.

"Taboo in the Forbidden City: The Red and White Evils!"

The moment the wooden sign was thrown out, Zhang Hao felt uncomfortable all over, and an invisible connection appeared in him.

"Is this some kind of medium? It seems to be cursed."

Zhang Hao walked to the wooden sign and picked it up.

The curse that he had received seemed to come from this wooden sign, which was some kind of medium belonging to this strange city.

The moment Zhang Hao picked up the sign, an inexplicable sentence appeared in his mind.

"Anyone who turns his back on the coffin will die, anyone who cries at night will die, anyone who kneels down will die, anyone who leaves the ground will die, anyone who peeks will die."

"Hmm? Is this... a killing pattern implanted in me?"

Zhang Hao stared at the wooden sign and the counter.

I just picked up this wooden sign, but I didn't expect that it would be implanted with a killing pattern.

However, just when Zhang Hao was about to attack the other party, he paused.

The behavior is restricted, and this counter does not conform to any of the five killing rules implanted in it.

"No, that's not right."

"This is not implanting a killing pattern, but strengthening my existing killing pattern." Zhang Hao suddenly reacted.

In fact, these implanted rules are all Zhang Hao’s own killing rules. It’s just that his actions are not completely based on the killing rules, so they are usually not visible.

Ignoring the implanted rule, Zhang Hao picked up the wooden sign and quickly understood the function of the sign by instinct.

This is something like residency.

The curse on this sign is something called taboo.

With the curse represented by this taboo, you can only attack things in this city that violate the killing rules in your taboo regulations.

Otherwise, imprisoning other evil spirits in this city would violate the laws of this city.

"I see. So, you extracted the five killing laws in my body as my taboo in this city?"

Zhang Hao looked at the second floor of the yard. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see the specific situation, but he could feel a depressing atmosphere.

This city is terrifying. At least Zhang Hao currently does not have the ability to challenge this city. In this case, he should act according to the taboo rules first.

Anyway, Zhang Hao has five killing rules, which are relatively easy to trigger.

"By the way, bride, what taboo rules have you drawn?"

Zhang Hao looked at the ghost bride, and soon, a line of words appeared in his mind.

The ghost bride simply copied and pasted the taboo rules she got from the sign to Zhang Hao without any changes.

"Anyone who sees it dies, anyone who thinks about it dies, anyone who approaches it dies, anyone who touches it dies, and anyone who goes against its palanquin dies."

"Same five rules as me? Not bad."

Zhang Hao felt quite satisfied when he received the content that the ghost bride pasted to him with one click.

In this way, he and his bride had ten taboo rules and could move around the city relatively freely.

I just don't know why this city keeps implanting taboo rules into other evil spirits.

But these things have nothing to do with Zhang Hao. Once he leaves this city, he will be able to take out the ghost scissors from the red room and cut off the curse that this city has placed on him.

Leaving the yard, Zhang Hao walked onto the street outside.

When a ghost was walking towards him, Zhang Hao immediately extended a white curtain from his waist and hung the ghost up.

Those who leave the ground will die.

After hanging up the evil ghost, Zhang Hao threw it directly into the ghost cave drawn by the ghost painting.

This is one of the taboo rules that Zhang Hao has learned, but it is obvious that Zhang Hao's initiative to get the other party off the ground also falls into this category.

After throwing the ghost into the ghost painting for a while, Zhang Hao, who did not notice any changes, soon realized that this would not trigger the killing pattern of this city.

"I see. Let's go find the puzzle."

He walked in the direction Zhang Hao came from.

I will not let go of that alley.

Before, I was afraid that controlling the other party would disrupt the balance of the city, but now I am also a member of the city, and no one is afraid of anyone.

As Zhang Hao walked forward, the door of a three-story house opened quietly.

An old man wearing a paper shroud appeared outside the gate, sitting in a rocking chair that kept shaking.

"crunch, crunch!"

The rocking chair kept rocking, and just as Zhang Hao passed by, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.

"Are you targeting me?"

Zhang Hao turned around and looked at the other person. This old man didn't show up earlier or later, but appeared just when he was passing by, and he even opened his eyes just as he walked by.

However, at this moment, the old man seemed to have seen something horrifying, and his eyes, which had been open, closed quietly.

"Ok?"

Zhang Hao suddenly realized something, and the black and white ghosts suddenly spread out and invaded the old man.

Not long after, a black and white portrait fell on the rocking chair.

The old man stared at Zhang Hao, but the moment he opened his eyes, the law of death of the person who spied on Zhang Hao was triggered, allowing Zhang Hao to take action.

Moreover, this old man just happened to trigger the killing pattern that when he saw Zhang Hao outside this city, his back would be made into a black and white portrait.

"It just so happens that I need a place to stay temporarily. Let's go up to this old man's room and take a look."

Although Zhang Hao didn't need to rest, there were too many ghosts in this city.

If you keep walking outside, you will inevitably be targeted by some scary ghosts.

Although Zhang Hao is not too worried about one or two of them, it would be difficult to deal with them if there are too many of them.

He also planned to look around the city to see if he could find other pieces of the puzzle between himself and the ghost bride.

Walking into this house, there is nothing special about the layout inside.

The old house almost imitates the layout of a normal family, with kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom.

However, the owner of the house obviously did not need to use these things, so everything inside, except for a chair, was basically covered with a thick layer of dust.

Zhang Hao walked into the room without any intention of cleaning it. He closed the door and stood on the windowsill, watching everything below.

Perhaps because of the high level of horror in him, he could not see many ghosts on the road when he was walking on the road below.

But as he walked upstairs and closed the door, strange figures began to appear on the road below.

"The instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm makes these evil spirits hide their auras when I am around."

"It seems that this decision is correct. If you want to find the puzzle in this place, you need to hide yourself."

The houses here seem to have the function of isolating the aura. No matter how much Zhang Hao observes other houses, at most he can see the presence of human figures inside, and he has no idea how powerful the evil spirits inside are.

As Zhang Hao continued to observe, he soon discovered a group of people who deserved his attention.

It was a group of people wearing red clothes, holding lanterns, and carrying a sedan chair behind them, walking forward.

The light in the sedan was on, and there seemed to be a woman inside.

"Is that a groom? Is that a bride in the sedan?"

Staring at the man in a red robe standing at the front of the team.

For no reason, Zhang Hao had a strong instinct to snatch the clothes for the first time.

This desire was even stronger than any other ghost I encountered before.

Even when he encountered the white ghost candle before, the instinctive stimulation given to him by the white lantern that could attract ghosts was not so strong.

Almost instantly, black and white ghosts invaded the house.

In the distance on the dim road, accompanied by a flash of black and white, a coffin appeared out of thin air. Zhang Hao knelt on the coffin, and a long white curtain dragged from the coffin to the ground.

Zhang Hao controlled the evil ghost carrying the coffin under his feet and carried the ghost coffin towards the wedding procession.

this moment.

Controlled by strong instincts, he didn't even think about how scary the ghost was. He just wanted to snatch the red clothes.
