Chapter 124 Clothing Store, Dead Road
Chapter 124 Clothing Store, Dead Road
While the ghost bride was eating noodles, the ghost quickly brought another bowl of noodles.
This time, when Zhang Hao smelled the fragrance in the bowl, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Although the noodles smell good, they don't taste good. It feels like chewing wax, but it is surprisingly addictive.
As the noodles went down his throat, Zhang Hao felt as if the supernatural powers in his body had increased.
Not long after, Zhang Hao finished eating all the noodles and then began to actively check the changes in himself.
This noodle seems to have the ability to stimulate the revival of evil spirits. After eating the noodles, Zhang Hao can feel that he is growing at a terrifying speed.
The revival of an evil ghost is a process, whether it is the ghost rider or the evil ghost itself.
The supernatural power of an evil ghost needs to be stimulated step by step, and it cannot reach its peak just by reviving it.
The more people a ghost kills, the more terrifying he becomes.
In fact, it is because the evil spirit stimulates its own spiritual power in the process of continuous killing that the resurgence becomes more serious, which increases the degree of horror.
But this kind of noodles seems to allow you to skip this process and directly improve the level of recovery.
"No, logically speaking, this kind of shop is usually opened by ghost riders."
"It's just that for some reason, the ghost tamer died, and the evil spirit in his body followed its instincts and inherited the shop."
"If this is a shop opened by a ghost tamer, then the real purpose of this noodle cannot be to stimulate the revival of evil spirits."
Zhang Hao looked at the signboard in the noodle shop that read "Small bowl of noodles three yuan, large bowl of noodles four yuan."
The handwriting was not mechanically printed, nor was it crooked, but was a very neat regular script that could not be written by an evil spirit.
This undoubtedly further proves that this noodle shop was once opened by a ghost rider.
"What is the significance of noodles that can stimulate the resurrection of evil spirits for ghost riders?"
Zhang Hao thought about it and quickly reacted.
"Oh, right, the evil spirit is resurrecting. When the evil spirit resurrects to the extreme, the evil spirit itself cannot bear it and will freeze!"
Zhang Hao felt that he should have discovered the true function of this noodle shop.
As long as you can resist the erosion brought by the resurrected evil spirit and eat enough noodles, you may be able to stop the computer from freezing by eating noodles.
“For me, it doesn’t do much.”
After understanding the function of the noodle shop, Zhang Hao no longer had the desire to stay in the shop.
After eating this bowl of noodles, some of the spiritual power in his body was stimulated, which increased his terror level to a certain extent, but the increase was very limited.
Because Zhang Hao is not the evil ghost who just awakened.
If it was a ghost that had just woken up from a dead body and ate a bowl of noodles like this, the level of terror would probably increase greatly.
After leaving the noodle shop, Zhang Hao continued to walk deeper into the strange county town.
As he passed by one shop after another, soon another shop attracted Zhang Hao's attention.
It was a clothing store, filled with all kinds of weird clothes.
Not only Zhang Hao and the ghost bride noticed the shop, but the ghosts in the shop also seemed to notice Zhang Hao and the ghost bride.
The shop door, which was originally half-open, opened strangely at this time, revealing what was inside.
There are a lot of clothes in the store, including old suits, gray and white coats, and green gowns. Each piece of clothing is not simple.
What is certain is that these are all supernatural objects, and each piece of clothing represents a ghost.
Looking at the clothes inside, Zhang Hao slowly approached.
He has a ghost in his body that can control his clothes. That ghost also helps Zhang Hao connect all the evil ghosts in his body into a whole, so Zhang Hao couldn't help but be curious when he saw this clothing store.
Just as Zhang Hao approached the store entrance, a stiff voice suddenly echoed in the clothing store:
"Buy one. It's only seventeen dollars."
The voice was so sharp that it was difficult to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It sounded just like the voice made by a eunuch in ancient times.
"Buy one, it's very cheap."
When Zhang Hao was looking for the source of the sound, the stiff voice sounded again.
"You don't have any clothes here that interest me."
Zhang Hao stared at the clothes rack for a long time. Although these clothes were all ghosts and each piece exuded an extraordinary aura, there was no piece of clothing that Zhang Hao must have.
Of course, if there is, Zhang Hao might not necessarily choose to buy it.
After all, he only has fourteen dollars in his hand.
"This dress may interest you, but it costs twenty-four dollars."
When Zhang Hao said that the store didn't have the clothes he was interested in, that stiff voice sounded again.
When the sound was heard, a piece of the wall in the store, more than one meter high, suddenly caved in as if there was some mechanism, and then a puppet in clothes walked out from inside.
This is a doll wearing a red paper wedding dress.
The style of the wedding dress is very similar to the one worn by the ghost bride, but one can tell at a glance that it is made of paper.
"Paper wedding dress?" Zhang Hao stared at the clothes on the doll and fell into deep thought.
This dress should have nothing to do with the ghost bride. After all, the bride has her own wedding dress, so there is no need for her to wear a paper wedding dress.
However, looking at this paper wedding dress reminded Zhang Hao of the paper sedan chair that he had snatched from Chen Qiaoyang.
At that time, Zhang Hao took away the paper sedan chair because the ghost bride had no sedan chair, but later when Zhang Hao got the groom's clothes, the groom's supernatural power was to summon the sedan chair, so there was no need to continue using the paper sedan chair.
The existence of the groom's suit also proves that the paper sedan is not the bride's puzzle, but just a temporary puzzle that can replace the sedan.
“Perhaps, this paper wedding dress is a puzzle piece from the same series as the paper sedan chair.”
Zhang Hao thought to himself that the paper sedan was followed by paper figures carrying a coffin.
When the groom summons the bridal sedan, he does not need to use paper people to carry the coffin. He can forcibly control living people to carry the coffin.
Combined with the existence of the ghost bride, it is possible to forcibly summon evil ghosts to carry the coffin.
But since he has seen this kind of thing, there is no way Zhang Hao will let him go.
Walking into the shop, Zhang Hao reached out to take the paper wedding dress off the doll.
"The money is not enough, but I want this dress. Consider it your reward for stopping me and not dying."
Zhang Hao took off the paper wedding dress from the doll, not caring at all whether the ghosts in the shop would have any stress reaction.
The clothes were torn off by Zhang Hao without any movement. Because of the mindless suppression, the clothes were suppressed directly when Zhang Hao grabbed them.
After getting the clothes, Zhang Hao planned to return to the ghost bride and take her away.
However, the next moment.
A sharp scream was immediately heard from the clothing store.
The sound was like the screams of a dying person, or the howling of a dead body. It was indescribable, but one could feel the danger and terror in it.
As the sharp scream echoed, the walls inside the clothing store began to peel off, and the outline of a corpse with a similar color to the walls emerged.
At this moment, the corpse fell from the wall with a plop, followed by a sound of bones twisting and crackling.
It only took a moment.
A ghost covered in cement that had been sealed for a long time woke up.
The appearance of the ghost caused the neon signs outside to go out instantly.
The tightly closed shop door now blocked Zhang Hao from leaving.
And this moment.
The ghost twisted its stiff body and walked towards Zhang Hao in an uncoordinated posture.
"I took your things. I didn't want to deal with you, but since you came here on your own, there's nothing I can do."
Zhang Hao looked at the ghost approaching on his own initiative, and simply raised his hand and grabbed the ghost's head.
As Zhang Hao's colorless hands grabbed the ghost, a terrifying and inexplicable supernatural power immediately acted on the ghost.
In just a moment, the ghost covered with cement that had just run out of the wall was suppressed and controlled by Zhang Hao.
After the ghost was restrained by Zhang Hao, the clothes in the shop also changed.
The ghost just now was not the owner of the shop, but just an evil ghost controlled by the shop.
At this time, the strangely styled clothes began to bulge gradually. Cold arms began to stretch out from the empty sleeves, as if a person suddenly emerged from the clothes and wanted to put them on again.
"Want to keep me?"
"In that case, pack up these clothes and take them away. There happens to be a wardrobe at home."
Zhang Hao looked at the clothes in the store that had become strange, and his ability to suppress them mindlessly unfolded, and a cold lake began to appear on the ground.
At the same time, as Zhang Hao watched, a black and white ghost invaded the store. Both the clothes and the walls of the store began to look old and the colors were fading.
Zhang Hao didn't come to Baishui Town just on impulse.
Before entering Baishui Town, he had controlled a lot of evil spirits. Basically, all the evil spirits that might be related to funerals in the ghost painting world and the ghost lake were controlled by him.
Without thinking, Zhang Hao suppressed the supernatural power and asked the ghost bride to put all the clothes into the mourning hall in the ghost painting world.
When Zhang Hao was completing the evil ghost in the closet in the island country, he encountered a ghost in the closet. After Zhang Hao completed the ghost catcher, he also controlled that thing and placed it in the mourning hall.
Now it is just used to store clothes.
"Crench!"
Zhang Hao took all the clothes away, but this time the door of the clothing store that had been closed because of Zhang Hao's snatching of clothes slowly opened.
Obviously, this shop is smart. It knows that it cannot keep Zhang Hao, and it even knows that if it continues, it might be killed by Zhang Hao.
Therefore, it did not dare to continue to force Zhang Hao to stay.
"It's my first time to rob something by force. It feels really good."
Zhang Hao walked out of the clothing store, quite satisfied with his performance.
In the past, whenever he encountered such mysterious buildings, he was always the cautious one, but this time he was finally the boss.
It’s a pity that this store is much weaker than the Ghost Newspaper Agency.
Back on the street outside, before I knew it, there were more and more people.
In a trance, Zhang Hao seemed to see a familiar figure on a street.
"That's me?"
Zhang Hao stared at the man with confusion in his eyes.
"No, that's not right. That's not me. That's Zhang Hao."
After staring at the back for a long time, Zhang Hao quickly reacted.
This person is not himself, but should be some kind of undead ghost derived from the supernatural, similar to those undead ghosts painted in oil paintings.
Moreover, this person is not his own ghost, but the ghost of the dead Zhang Hao.
"Follow him and kill him."
Zhang Hao stepped forward quickly. This kind of supernatural power that can create undead and resurrect people is generally unique and can only be used once for each person.
Zhang Hao followed the figure of the undead, but as Zhang Hao approached with the ghost bride, the undead mysteriously disappeared in the street. In the end, what appeared in front of Zhang Hao was a corpse that had already died and was affected by the supernatural.
"It seems that the undead cannot come here in person."
"The reason why I could see the ghost of Zhang Hao was that I clearly realized that the man was already dead."
Zhang Hao stopped. Apart from Zhang Hao's ghost, he had not seen any other ghosts that looked like other people in Baishui Town.
It seems that if this kind of undead wants to be seen, it needs to have a certain level of inner respect for him before it can appear.
The only person Zhang Hao cared about was the unlucky guy who was killed by the ghost bride.
In other words, normal evil spirits cannot see the undead here.
At the same time, after Zhang Hao discovered that the undead ghost that looked like himself had disappeared, he also realized that he had walked out of that street at some point.
Zhang Hao is now standing in an alley. The back of the alley is dark, but Zhang Hao can vaguely tell that is the direction he came from.
And ahead of us is a road with no end in sight.
"Is that the place? I see. This is a road that only ghost riders or aliens can find. Ordinary evil spirits probably have little chance of walking on this road."
Zhang Hao didn't have too many fears about this path.
On the contrary, thinking that he might step into that derived world next, Zhang Hao couldn't help but quicken his pace.
The Zhang Dong in the real world is like a bottomless pit. Even Yang Jian cannot pull Zhang Dong from the past to the future.
In that case, let's go to Baishui Town first and test the waters in the world of the undead and the derived Zhangdong.
As we continued to move forward, we saw that for some unknown reason, the roadside ahead was covered with brightly colored flowers.
Only after getting a little closer did I realize that these were not flowers at all, but paper flowers made of colored paper. These paper flowers came in various colors such as red, yellow, green, and blue.
The paper flowers extended along the green belt on the roadside. At first, there were very few of them.
But as we went deeper, the paper flowers became more and more dense, and had completely replaced all the trees and green belts along the road.
"Higanbana? According to human discourse, there should be such a concept."
“The world of the dead, a flower made of paper.”
Zhang Hao murmured a few words and walked deeper into the road.
As Zhang Hao moved forward, he began to see some of the people he had killed on the road.
At this moment, it seemed that he no longer needed to pay attention to anyone, as long as anyone existed in his memory could appear on this road.
The importance is just that it allows you to discover it earlier.
The first people to appear in front of Zhang Hao were Zhang Hao's own ghost, followed by Meng Xiaodong, Sister Hong, Shen Lin, Wei Jing and others.
Then continue walking forward, and start to see Boss Liu and the faceless man who were killed by Zhang Hao some time ago, as well as Wang Lin, Old Man Shenli, and Zhang Xianguang.
Afterwards, Zhang Hao even saw ordinary people.
It was an old lady. Zhang Hao remembered clearly that this was one of the first living people he met after getting off the bus.
At that time, Zhang Hao was completely controlled by the ghost bride. As soon as he got out of the car, he started killing people uncontrollably, exposing his existence.
These people looked at Zhang Hao with desire in their eyes, a desire for resurrection.
However, Zhang Hao just glanced at these people coldly.
This road wants to take advantage of the sympathy of the living and drag them into the water, but Zhang Hao is not a living person, he is a dead person.
Although as time goes by, the supernatural power becomes stronger and stronger, and it becomes more and more like a human being, it is impossible to expect him to have sympathy.
No matter how much a ghost looks like a human, it is not a human after all, but a ghost.
Zhang Hao just glanced coldly at these undead spirits, and in the black and white world, derivatives of Zhang Hao appeared one after another.
These derivatives held human skull sticks in one hand and white curtains in the other. They knocked the undead unconscious, tied them up, and pulled them into Zhang Hao's eyes, like the devils seeking their lives.
"It's not a ghost, it's just a derivative of the supernatural."
After Zhang Hao imprisoned the first undead with his eyes, no second path emerged from the depths of his eyes. He then knew that these undead were not evil spirits and were of no help to him.
"boom!"
Along with the sound of sonic boom, all the undead seemed to be hit on the head by some horrible spirit and died completely at this moment.
I don’t know if it was because he had dealt with these undead spirits, but Zhang Hao continued walking forward for a while and soon found a wooden building standing alone in the middle of the road.
This wooden building has two floors and the door is tightly closed, as if it has been sealed for a long time.
But there are many lights hanging on the eaves of this wooden building, and these lights are flashing various lights and are colorful.
"Is this finally the end?"
"It seems that we need to reduce the number of people on the road so that we can reach the final destination faster."
Zhang Hao looked at the wooden building thoughtfully and moved closer.
This wooden building was not small. Zhang Hao walked around it for a while before he successfully found the location of the gate.
Zhang Hao pushed open the door and walked into the wooden building.
However, the moment he saw the situation inside the house clearly, Zhang Hao paused, because there were many old coffins parked in the house.
These coffins were faded and covered with dust so their colors couldn't be seen clearly. There were a lot of them, at least a dozen, and no one knew what was inside.
"Are these dead ghost riders? Or evil spirits?"
Zhang Hao walked into a coffin. Even he didn't dare to be too careless in this place.
I now suspect that I have reached the end of the Road of the Dead. Faced with such a thing that can generate a Zhangdong, it cannot be too careful when moving inside.
