Chapter 108 Zhang Xianguang: The bride and the ghost painting complement each other?
"Tread! Tread!"
At this moment, Zhang Hao's dull footsteps seemed like a death warrant to Sun Rui, destroying his inner defenses.
He came to the window and threw Sun Rui out.
As soon as he left the window, Sun Rui seemed to be cursed and his skin quickly turned gray.
Before he landed on the ground, Sun Rui's face had completely lost all life, but he still maintained an unwilling expression on his face.
Sun Rui was not killed by the fall, but was killed by the curse of the Ghost Post Office while falling.
However, just when Zhang Hao was about to leave the Ghost Post Office to deal with the ghosts outside.
A female corpse suddenly appeared on the fifth floor, and she walked towards Zhang Hao step by step.
The female corpse had her eyes closed, and pieces of black letter paper were stuck to her body. The letter papers were worn by the corpse like clothes.
The letter paper here is very special, it has some kind of curse on it.
Suddenly, after getting close to a certain distance.
The female corpse suddenly opened her eyes, and then the entire ghost post office began to shake, as if there had been an earthquake and the entire building was about to collapse.
"what happened?"
As the Ghost Post Office shook, the wooden stairs outside the fifth-floor door could no longer hold and collapsed.
Moreover, cracks even appeared on the ground. These cracks were expanding and soon became densely distributed.
Zhang Hao stared at the female corpse while observing the situation at the same time.
At this time, the changes in the Ghost Post Office are still continuing.
The walls were peeling off and the ground was cracking. Although it looked like it was about to collapse, it actually did not. Instead, the earthquake caused some unknown changes in the post office.
The change is from the inside out, and it seems that the true face of the post office is about to be revealed.
But before Zhang Hao could observe more.
Sudden.
The ground cracked and actually collapsed, and he, the ghost bride, and the female corpse all fell to the fourth floor of the post office.
But then the fourth floor also collapsed and fell onto the third floor of the post office.
The third floor also collapsed.
The floors disappeared one by one.
As all the floors collapsed, the layout of the post office changed dramatically, and a hidden building appeared.
This is a U-shaped building, and like the Ghost Post Office, it has five floors. There is also a staircase opening on the wall. The staircase is made of concrete and connects all the floors above and below.
This seems to be what a post office should originally look like. The first floor and the fifth floor are connected to each other, and there is no separation between floors.
"This should be the third generation manager of the Ghost Post Office."
"Judging from the state, it doesn't look like a human, but it's not a ghost either. It seems that after Sun Rui was killed by me, the ghost post office lost its manager, which led to the changes."
There are four managers of the Ghost Post Office. The first one is Luo Wensong, the second one is the female corpse in front of you, the third one is Zhang Xianguang, and the fourth one is Sun Rui.
Now the first and fourth are both dead.
The third manager, Zhang Xianguang, was hiding in the portrait again, so in this case, the female corpse in front of him seemed to have become the manager of the Ghost Post Office.
However, due to some reasons, although the female corpse did not become a resurrected evil spirit, it also lost the wisdom of a living person and could no longer think.
It's like an idiot with a sharp weapon.
After becoming the manager of the Ghost Post Office, she naturally revealed everything that was hidden in the Ghost Post Office.
But now is not the time to think. When Zhang Hao fell down one floor, the building outside seemed unable to bear it any longer.
'boom! '
With a loud noise, the door was pushed open heavily, and one terrifying 'person' after another walked in from outside the ghost post office.
However, this time, after entering the post office, these ghosts did not attack Zhang Hao, but just walked around the post office in a daze.
It seems that without Sun Rui's control, these ghosts have also lost their target. Now perhaps we need to trigger their killing patterns before we will be attacked by them.
Or maybe it was Tian Xiaoyue's corpse that controlled these ghosts to attack Zhang Hao.
However, this female corpse seemed to have lost its killing pattern. It would not attack anyone unless they touched the cursed writing papers on her body.
Just as Zhang Hao turned around and was about to ignore the female corpse and find a mural to hide in.
Suddenly, the female corpse that was standing still moved.
At this time, it seemed that even the ghosts that entered the Ghost Post Office had found their targets again.
A strange figure suddenly appeared behind Zhang Hao. It was a ghost with only half a body.
The moment it appeared behind Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao felt as if his body was about to be torn into two halves by an invisible spiritual force.
But at this moment, the attack came to an abrupt end. The ghost triggered Zhang Hao's paranormal thinking that he would die if he saw the back.
At this moment, the color on its body was fading, and the flesh and blood that was exposed on the half of its body that seemed to be torn apart was losing color.
The black and white ghost den invaded it, and the ghost suffered the paranormal warning that anyone who saw his back would die.
But evil ghosts cannot die, so this ghost is being made into a portrait.
But the story was not over yet. In the dark post office, pieces of black letter paper suddenly fell.
These pieces of letter paper were exactly the same as the ones found on the female corpse, and they carried a curse.
When Zhang Hao's black and white portraits came into contact with the black letter paper, they lost their spirituality as if they were cursed and fell to the ground like burnt ashes.
You know, these derived portraits, to a certain extent, can also be called a ghost, and cannot be killed by ordinary ghost riders.
Only when faced with a powerful enough spirit will the spirit on the portrait be wiped out.
During this time, a piece of black letter paper fell on Zhang Hao.
Suddenly, he felt that his body had lost its vitality at this moment, his consciousness was being erased, and it seemed that everything about him was dying.
Even if you are a ghost, you will be corroded to the point of freezing in the face of this curse.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao quickly recovered from the ghost bride.
He looked at the letter paper on the female corpse with fear.
"This female corpse's connection to the Ghost Post Office seems to be much stronger than Sun Rui's. When the letter paper on her body gets on a living person, it can even trigger the curse from the Ghost Post Office."
Zhang Hao used the Ghost Den, but the Ghost Den was unable to block the falling of the letter paper.
The curse on the letter papers made the fallen letter papers like stones and lake water when facing Zhang Hao's den. The lake water was unable to expel the stones and could only let them fall.
Of course, it is not completely uninfluenceable.
At least, with the combined efforts of Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride, it is still possible to change the trajectory of the falling letter.
Zhang Hao, who was attacked, immediately began to fight back.
While using the ghost den to change the falling trajectory of the letter, Zhang Hao looked at the female corpse.
The invisible pressure from the sight acted on the female corpse, causing her upright chest to droop slightly and her neck to unconsciously become level with her shoulders.
However, even Zhang Hao didn't seem to have the ability to make her kneel down.
"boom!"
Suddenly at this moment, a coffin appeared and hit the female corpse, knocking her away.
The ghost coffin was deprived of its guarding power, but there were still five spots for mindless suppression.
Logically speaking, even if this female corpse had completed many puzzles, she should have been suppressed in front of the ghost coffin and with Zhang Hao's sight.
But after being knocked away, the female corpse quickly stood up again.
There was an invisible spiritual force protecting the female corpse, preventing her body from being restricted. It was the curse from the ghost post office.
Compared to ghost post office managers like Sun Rui.
Zhang Hao felt that it would be more appropriate to understand the female corpse as the incarnation of the Ghost Post Office, and that her body had been invaded and controlled by the Ghost Post Office.
Because of her lack of reason and her identity as a manager, her body became the best tool for the Ghost Post Office.
"It's like the door-opening ghost in the ghost post office."
Zhang Hao reacted quickly, but he was still a little curious.
The female corpse didn’t attack me before, why did she suddenly attack me now?
After realizing that the female corpse had been controlled by the Ghost Post Office, Zhang Hao no longer had any intention of taking action against them.
It was not a clear option to confront a haunted place head-on, even if it was just a corpse that had been invaded by the haunted place. Who knew what would happen to the ghost post office if the corpse was imprisoned?
Zhang Hao looked around the Ghost Post Office, and soon his eyes stopped on a mural on the wall.
"It's Zhang Xianguang."
When Zhang Hao looked at the mural, he could sense something unusual in it.
Zhang Hao is an expert in black and white portraits, and there are also ghost paintings on the ghost bride's side, so he is very sensitive to the supernatural in such paintings.
Several managers of the Ghost Post Office have died, but that doesn’t mean that the Ghost Post Office really has no managers.
Just because Zhang Xianguang stayed in the oil painting didn't mean he couldn't notice the changes in the Ghost Post Office.
And another point is that Tian Xiaoyue's body is now an incarnation of the Ghost Post Office. Zhang Xianguang is the manager of the Ghost Post Office and can control it.
From this perspective, it seems reasonable that Tian Xiaoyue's corpse suddenly attacked Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao ignored Tian Xiaoyue who stood up again, took back the ghost coffin, took the bride to a mural and reached his hand into it.
The mural was like a whirlpool, sucking Zhang Hao and the ghost bride in.
The next moment, Zhang Hao and the ghost bride entered a dark place.
Zhang Hao turned around and saw a door behind him. It should be the portrait in the oil painting.
However, Zhang Hao could see the ghost post office outside and the female corpse standing in the middle of the ghost post office through this door.
This oil painting world could not disturb Zhang Hao. The ghost bride's lair could be easily unleashed in it and connected with the world of this oil painting.
"let's go."
Zhang Hao led the ghost bride and walked quickly forward, soon passing through the area represented by the oil painting.
The world inside the oil painting is somewhat similar to the world inside the ghost painting. Both have buildings that are similar to reality, and these oil paintings are also connected to each other to form a complete world.
However, the world within the oil painting is dark and without light, and ordinary ghost riders cannot see through this darkness at all.
However, the world of ghost paintings seems to be always in daylight. The sky is always white, or at most it is cloudy, with gray paper ash like clouds in the sky.
Passing through this area, Zhang Hao saw a small path that was winding and seemed to be connected to somewhere.
This road is very familiar, like the road that led to the Ghost Post Office before. The only difference is that this road is not straight to the end, but there is a fork in the middle, and it seems that you can reach another place by following that fork.
This situation is also very similar to ghost paintings. There are connecting passages between each portrait. If you take a wrong step, you will enter an unknown place.
Zhang Hao walked along the road and soon a fork appeared in front of him.
The original path became two, one on the left and one on the right, but it was dark ahead and nothing could be seen in the distance.
"Ma'am, which direction do you think we should go?"
Zhang Hao looked at the ghost bride. In fact, he didn’t care much about Zhang Xianguang in the oil painting.
Given his and his bride's current situation, Zhang Xianguang would have no chance of implementing the Taoyuan Plan unless the Seven Elders of the Republic of China were willing to help.
The reason for asking about the ghost bride is mainly because this place is very similar to the world of ghost paintings.
Perhaps the bride could, to some extent, sense the vat of paint deep within the painting, as well as the ghost post office at the deepest part of the painting.
As long as we find those two places, dealing with Zhang Xianguang will be a piece of cake.
After all, Zhang Xianguang in the oil painting is just an ordinary person. In this situation where he was discovered by himself, he had no other way to deal with it except to flee to the group of dead people.
Following the ghost bride and passing through four or five forks in the road, Zhang Hao and the ghost bride soon entered a main road.
After entering the main road, the fork in the road became noticeably smaller, and after walking for a while, the fork could no longer be seen.
As he continued to move forward, Zhang Hao saw lights flashing in the distance and a building was looming in the dim environment.
Keep getting closer.
The lights became more and more obvious, they were colorful neon lights.
And the outline of the building gradually appeared. It was a tall building from the Republic of China period.
This building was the same one he had seen before entering the Ghost Post Office.
This is a ghost post office in an oil painting.
"Speaking of which, the source of this painting's ghost, is it the ghost post office in the painting? Or is it the vat of dye?"
An idea flashed through Zhang Hao's mind, but he quickly gave up thinking about it.
Because after he arrived, there seemed to be a figure walking in the yellow-lit lobby on the first floor of the ghost post office.
Those who lived in the post office seemed to have noticed his arrival.
As Zhang Hao walked to the door of the Ghost Post Office and opened it, a red axe came down towards his forehead as soon as he opened the door.
Zhang Hao raised his hand to catch the axe, and at the same time, the white curtain around his waist moved strangely even though there was no wind.
The white curtain wrapped around the person in the ghost post office, quickly wrapping him up like a dumpling, leaving only a piece of rag stained with black paint on the ground.
"Killed?"
Deep inside the Ghost Post Office, someone noticed this abnormality and they stared at Zhang Hao.
In this ghost post office, once a portrait is left behind, those people will not die unless people outside have completely forgotten the people in the painting.
After some people left their portraits here, the people in the portraits no longer wanted to live after so many years.
Seeing this scene, these people showed excitement.
"You killed him, didn't you? Kill me, kill me now."
An old man rushed forward and tried to grab Zhang Hao.
But just as he approached, Zhang Hao's bloodshot ghost eye looked at him, and the ghost followed Zhang Hao's line of sight to invade the old man.
His skin color, which was originally like that of a living person, began to fade, and soon, he completely lost his color and turned into a black and white photograph.
"Hmm? That means he's dead?"
"He seems to have been forgotten by everyone."
Anyone who can pass the ghost post office's letter delivery mission is no simple person.
The moment the black-and-white photo fell to the ground, they keenly discovered that their memory of the old man in the portrait was extremely vague at this moment.
You know, these people have been staying in this oil painting all the time, and it's not an exaggeration to say that they have been living together day and night.
However, in this situation, they suddenly lost the memory of the previous person. It is conceivable that people outside have now definitely forgotten the existence of this old man.
"Don't rush up."
At this time, a middle-aged man in the crowd spoke.
Suddenly, everyone in the hall looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The person who spoke was a man who looked to be in his early thirties. His hair was neatly combed and he was dressed neatly, but his attire and clothing style were out of tune with modern times and must have been from several decades ago.
"Zhang Xianguang, what do you mean?" Someone stared at Zhang Xianguang, wanting him to explain.
"That thing is a ghost, a real ghost." Zhang Xianguang explained.
"Didn't you notice that the bride behind that man actually looks a lot like an oil painting? That's a ghost painting."
"So what? As long as I can die, that's enough." Those people said indifferently.
"You died, but don't forget what this painting is. Now that the ghost painting has entered here, if it gets the things hidden deep inside the ghost painting, what terrible changes will happen to the outside world?"
Zhang Xianguang stared at the person who was speaking, with anger in his words.
In fact, Zhang Xianguang himself was also very surprised.
The ghost painting and the ghost bride have been completed, but I haven't received any related information at all.
"It can't be possible that I've already started to act outside, and the plan has failed, right?"
"Besides, even if we take action, he knows that I am the only one who can control the ghost painting and keep from dying."
According to his plan, it should be impossible for the ghost painting and the ghost bride to come into contact now.
After all, it has been less than half a year since the news of the old man at the headquarters' death appeared. Under such circumstances, I should not dare to act recklessly outside.
And now the ghost bride appeared before him, causing Zhang Xianguang to think a lot for a moment.
Could it be that the self that was born from the Ghost Post Office is just a supernatural creation after all, and is now beginning to lose control?
Doubt, astonishment, and anxiety.
Countless thoughts came to his mind, but Zhang Xianguang could only hold back these thoughts and try to find a way to deal with the two ghosts in front of him first.
