Chapter 116: Transformed into a ghost cave, infinite restart

As Zhang Hao lay in the ghost coffin, some incomprehensible changes occurred in the mourning hall.

It was obvious that whether it was the black and white portrait, the ghost spirit tablet, or the ghost wine, paper and copper coins had all been taken into the ghost coffin by him.

But at this time, these things strangely appeared in the mourning hall.

It was as if every ghost in Zhang Hao's body had become a part of this mourning hall, which was extremely weird.

This situation is just like those evil ghosts that were expelled from the ghost coffin and used to carry the coffin.

However, at this time, the evil ghosts carrying the coffin had disappeared, leaving only these things from Zhang Hao.

Time passed slowly, and the dim mourning hall was also quietly changing.

The quaint mourning hall gradually became old, and the lime on the walls turned dark.

At this moment, everything in the room seemed to be affected by some incomprehensible spiritual force.

The entire mourning hall lost its color at this moment, as if it had entered a world of black and white.

I don’t know how much time has passed, maybe it’s an illusion.

The person in the black and white memorial photo on the table seemed to move.

No, it's not an illusion.

The person in the photo seemed to come alive at this moment.

In the black and white photo, the man began to blink, and then he seemed to walk out of the photo, and his face began to move closer to the edge of the photo.

In the end, only a pale eye appeared in the photo among the spirit tablets.

At this moment, in the black and white mourning hall, a person in mourning clothes suddenly appeared.

"It's a magical feeling. I seem to have turned into a ghost den just like the ghost messenger."

Zhang Hao observed his own situation. His current condition was very similar to that of the ghost.

It has itself turned into a den of ghosts and cannot be imprisoned in it.

The only difference from the ghost catcher is that Zhang Hao’s ghost den is not the pitch-black ghost den like a coffin, but a black and white ghost den.

And for Zhang Hao, the ghost messenger is now more like a coffin that he carries with him.

"Find a place to test my current fighting ability."

Zhang Hao could feel that after he controlled the ghost, his suppression quota had been greatly improved.

It seemed that every ghost on his body became a suppression quota for the ghost catcher. Now Zhang Hao actually had sixteen suppression quotas.

However, as he completely mastered the Ghost Messenger as a puzzle piece, Zhang Hao also discovered that the Ghost Messenger's mindless suppression was actually a very special ability.

This is not the concept of one ghost suppressing another ghost, but using one ghost to suppress a kind of supernatural power in the body of another ghost.

For example, before Zhang Hao controlled the ghost, the evil spirits in his body had basically merged into one, and he could be considered one ghost.

But the ghost's judgment on Zhang Hao cannot be just a quota.

For example, a ghost who wears mourning clothes to protect his body will be counted as one of the quotations, and a ghost who will die if he kneels will be counted as another of the quotations.

Adding up all the other puzzle pieces on Zhang Hao's body, it would take far more than ten places for the ghost to suppress him.

But Zhang Hao controlled the ghost messenger himself, but only increased the number of vacancies by ten.

"But that's true. It's impossible for a character like the Seventh Elder to be suppressed by a ghost messenger who only has a few suppressing spots because he only has a few fierce ghosts that balance each other."

Of course, as long as it is a supernatural power, the degree of terror will be reduced.

For example, a C-level ghost can immobilize a ghost of the same strength for ten seconds, but for a ghost stronger than itself, the immobilization time is only five or four seconds.

Even when the difference in terror levels between the two sides is too great, the effect may only last for a few tenths of a second, or even a few tenths of a second.

For example, if a ghost is too terrifying, one quota may not be enough to suppress a certain ability in the ghost's body.

When facing a ghost that is more terrifying than oneself, this ability may only be able to work at 50%, 40%, or even lower.

After making a rough assessment of his own situation in his heart, Zhang Hao took the ghost bride and left the ghost painting world.

The inner assessment of one's own combat effectiveness is not accurate enough and can only be a rough estimate because there are too many variables in the supernatural.

If you want to truly know your own strength, you need to fight.

As for Zhang Hao, there is now a ready-made goal.

At this time, in Zhongzhou City.

After some investigation, Yang Jian and his group boarded a small black boat.

However, this boat seems unable to bear too many ghosts, causing the wooden boat to gradually sink until it finally sinks into the ghost lake.

Under such circumstances, everyone must reduce the number of supernatural beings on the ship, and the best way is to discard some useless supernatural beings.

We are all captains, so naturally there is no question of anyone sacrificing themselves for the other side.

So in this situation, everyone can only take turns discarding the supernatural objects on their bodies.

Li Jun and Yang Jian were the first to discard a supernatural object each, which alleviated the sinking trend of the wooden boat, but this was far from enough, so they needed to continue to reduce the weight of the wooden boat.

Shen Lin stood up at this moment. He hesitated for a moment and took out a black glass bottle from his pocket. The small bottle was pitch black and no one knew what was inside.

But you can clearly feel that there is something sleeping in the glass bottle, with an inexplicable and dangerous aura.

The others took a look and without waiting for anyone to ask, Shen Lin threw the thing into the river.

"Although I'm reluctant, I can't care too much about it at this time." Shen Lin said, and it was obvious that he was also feeling a little pain.

The things you can carry with you must be very important. If you lose them at this moment, no one would be willing to part with them.

After the small black glass bottle was thrown away, the wooden boat began to float gradually, and the water level that had originally submerged the cabin was decreasing.

Obviously.

The spiritual power contained in that small glass bottle is extraordinary.

"If it continues to sink, it will be your turn." Shen Lin then looked at Liu San again.

Liu San said: "But I don't have any supernatural items on me, nothing to throw off the boat."

"If you are not willing to contribute, I'm sorry, but I might throw you down." Shen Lin said threateningly with narrowed eyes.

"That's a bit too much." Liu San stared at him.

Shen Lin said, "Is it too much? I don't think so. Li Jun, Yang Jian and I have all given up our spiritual objects. If you are treated specially, then there is no need to continue this cooperation."

"We are all in the same boat. If my conditions allow, I will make some sacrifices. But I am different from you. I don't rely too much on supernatural items." Liu San said.

"You don't have to throw away supernatural items. Anything related to the supernatural can be discarded." Shen Liang said.

Li Jun waved his hand and said, "The boat hasn't sunk yet, let's talk about it later. Don't argue at this time."

Liu San didn't say anything, just stared at Shen Lin coldly.

Shen Lin just smiled, but there was an inexplicable danger in this smile.

The source of the Ghost Lake has not yet been actually seen, but a conflict has already occurred between two captains.

Even if Li Jun spoke up in time to stop the conflict from escalating, it was obvious that there would likely be a rift between the two of them.

"If the ship still has a tendency to sink, it would be unwise to continue reducing the spiritual items on your body." Yang Jian said at this moment, and he proposed a way to reduce the losses.

"We still have to deal with the Ghost Lake, so we can only change our strategy and reduce the number of ghosts on the ship first. Although this will also involve risks, it is better than reducing our own strength."

The supernatural items they carried with them were brought to this place as a backup for themselves, and they might be used at any time in the future.

If they had thrown away most of the supernatural items on them before seeing the Ghost Lake, how would they deal with it?

"You didn't agree to take action on the boat before," said Li Jun.

"That depends on the situation." Yang Jian said, "If the situation doesn't allow it, we still have to take action."

Li Jun nodded in agreement. This was indeed the case. We must not enter a vicious cycle.

The wooden boat continued to drift along the river.

As the three supernatural objects were removed, the boat was still sinking, but the situation was much better than before. At least there was no risk of sinking.

But things are not absolute.

The boat was swaying, and the waterline was almost level with the boat.

If it sinks a little more, we will have to find a way to reduce the weight.

"It seems you are lucky, Liu San." Shen Lin said with a smile.

Liu San's eyes moved slightly: "My luck is definitely better than yours."

"That's good." Shen Lin said no more. As the black wooden boat continued to drift forward, the mist around it gradually dispersed, and the surrounding environment changed.

The field of vision was getting wider, and the small river was no longer a small river. Before they knew it, they seemed to have arrived at a lake.

"We've arrived at Ghost Lake." Shen Lin said slowly. He once used his own abilities to check a ghost slave's memory.

This was the scene he saw at that time.

"This is the Ghost Lake, are you sure?" Li Jun asked again with a serious expression.

"This is no joke. I'm sure this is the Ghost Lake." Shen Lin said.

Liu San squatted down and stretched out his hand to touch the water surface. His palm gradually became wet, and then he quickly took it back: "I am also sure that this is the Ghost Lake."

"Where is the ghost? Why can't I see any ghost?" Ah Hong looked around.

"The ghost won't appear unless the killing pattern of the evil ghost is triggered."

Yang Jian said: "Besides, this lake is not small. If we infer based on the information we found before, the number of evil spirits immersed in this lake may reach an astonishing number, so I have some concerns in my heart."

He didn't continue speaking because Li Jun interrupted him, "No need to worry, I will deal with the ghost lake now."

The voice fell.

Li Jun slowly took off his sunglasses. Under the sunglasses, his eyes were empty, like two hollow holes, without eyeballs, only two eerie ghost lights flickering.

next moment.

The will-o'-the-wisp began to burn.

The calm and silent lake surface suddenly began to burn. It was clearly the surface of the lake, but the eerie green ghost fire ignited the lake surface without any reason.

Moreover, the ghost fire spread and extended wildly, as if it wanted to cover the entire Ghost Lake.

"Is it useful?"

Yang Jian thought to himself that he did not stop Li Jun from taking action because testing was necessary.

The will-o'-the-wisp fire burned without temperature, but as time passed, the layer of skin on Li Jun's face slowly melted.

No, that's not flesh, that's painted facial features.

Li Jun's facial features were deforming and twisting, like a heated candle, dripping down, and behind that layer of face, there was another lifeless and weird face hidden.

That was the face of an evil spirit covered by dye.

This face does not usually appear, but if Li Jun uses his supernatural powers excessively, the real ghost will emerge and dominate everything.

therefore.

Although Li Jun is an outlier, he also has certain limitations. He cannot be consumed for a long time and is more like a disposable consumable.

The main reason why Ah Hong came to this place this time was because Ghost Lake was too dangerous.

However, Wei Jing's ability is of no effect in a place where there are too many evil spirits.

So Ah Hong had to follow Li Jun, and once the makeup on Li Jun’s face could no longer be maintained, she had to help him touch up his makeup immediately.

However, the will-o'-the-wisp fire had no good effect on the Ghost Lake, and the surface of the lake remained calm.

The ghost fire that had almost ignited the entire Ghost Lake began to slowly sink into the lake after burning violently for a while.

The eerie ghost fire was burning and flickering under the lake. Although it did not go out, it could not cause any impact.

"What a joke, can a ghost fire sink?" Li Jun seemed very surprised.

"Anything supernatural can sink into the water."

Liu San said, "The ghost fire is not real fire, but a spiritual force. It will naturally sink into the ghost lake. This situation is expected."

Most of the will-o'-the-wisp fire that originally covered the lake surface sank into the water in a short while.

The water was lit up by ghost lights, emitting a layer of cold green light everywhere.

With the green light emitted by the ghost fire, everyone could see dead bodies soaking under the water.

These corpses are not those of living people, but of evil spirits, because their clothes have rotted away, but the bodies are intact. If they were those of living people, it would be impossible for the bodies to be preserved so well.

The corpses of these evil spirits are densely packed at the bottom of the Ghost Lake, and it is impossible to understand how many ghosts there are.

“Even if we can get rid of the Ghost Lake, we will still have to face the evil spirits that have sunk into it.”

"If we don't deal with the Ghost Lake, it will get out of control and affect reality. Dozens of cities outside will suffer. This has already exceeded the level of an S-level supernatural event."

Liu San said with a serious face: "Li Jun, don't waste your time. This supernatural incident cannot be handled. You should report it to the headquarters."

Li Jun looked at him and said, "How can you think like this when things haven't even started yet?"

He did not continue to light the will-o'-the-wisp fire, but instead said, "Ah Hong, light the white ghost candle to lure the ghost out. Let's confront the evil ghost head-on here."

"Although you are an alien, your current alien body is just the makeup on your face." Yang Jian stared at Li Jun.

"If you really lure out the evil spirit, it won't take long before the makeup on your face is burned off."

"The will-o'-the-wisp was once used by the old man to imprison the ghosts of the ghost painting. Its potential is unquestionable, but you can't use it to such a strong degree, right?"

Li Jun simply couldn't use the will-o'-the-wisp for a long time and make it burn to its strongest state.

In order for the will-o'-the-wisp to reach its strongest state, it needs enough time to burn and an endless supply of firewood.

But Li Jun is like a candle, and the firewood he can provide is limited.

Even so, Li Jun's strength can crush most ghost riders.

But when facing this ghost lake, it would be a very stupid move for Li Jun to try to resist forcefully.

"And if you do this, the evil spirits in the Ghost Lake will get out of control. You probably won't have the energy to solve them, right?" Shen Lin also spoke at this time.

When three of the four captains disagreed, Li Jun couldn't help but hesitate.

"If you don't do this, you won't do that. What do you think we should do? Are we really going to retreat?"

"Don't forget, Ghost Lake has now affected a small half of the cities in the country. When it recovers further, how large a range will it affect?"

Li Jun had a sullen face, and stared at everyone with a pair of eyes burning with ghostly green will-o'-the-wisp fire.

However, just when a few people wanted to say something, their faces suddenly changed.

Not far from the boat, a corpse abnormally floated up from the water. The long black hair floating in the water was entangled on the corpse. There was no doubt that it was a female corpse.

Even after being soaked, the female corpse did not rot and was swollen, which was very strange.

"Gurgling!"

In more than one place.

Another female corpse floated up in the water behind him. The female corpse had short hair, but was face up, as if she was sleeping on the water.

Although her face was terribly pale, her lips were bright red, as if she had just put on lipstick.

However, how could a corpse, soaking in the water, apply lipstick on itself?

After the second female corpse emerged, the third, the fourth... more and more female corpses began to appear on the water.

The female corpse was so close that it was even in contact with the boat and could be grabbed with a hand.

"All the corpses underwater have come back to life." Liu San said in a serious tone at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Li Jun lit up the surrounding area with will-o'-the-wisp fire without saying a word, and the turbid lake water was illuminated again.

The scene was heart-pounding when it was illuminated.

Underwater, the corpses that had sunk to the bottom of the Ghost Lake actually floated up. These corpses were like living people, rising and falling in the water, as if they were walking with their eyes closed.

"Compared to here, I think you might want to look at the direction we came from before."

When Li Jun made his move and everyone's attention was drawn to him, Shen Lin did not look here, but looked behind him instead.

Hearing this, Liu San and Yang Jian both looked behind them.

At some point, two figures, one red and one white, were walking towards them along the river bank where they had come by boat before.

The red and white figures held hands together, and the white figure seemed to have noticed them and was waving at them.

But soon, Yang Jian realized something was wrong.

It was not a wave to himself and others, but a wave to the lake.

"That's the Red and White Demons. They are the source of the ghosts in the Ghost Lake."

Yang Jian's tone was cold. He didn't expect that he stopped Li Jun from lighting the ghost candle, but ended up attracting ghosts instead.
