Chapter 90 Familiar Mummy
“What is going on? Is this the body of the Ghost Bride?”
Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride arrived and looked at the corpse crawling out of the clock tower. The female corpse couldn’t help but be curious.
Half of the female body had climbed out of the bloody cupboard, but the lower body seemed to be stuck by something and could not get out.
The smelly and bright red blood soaked the ground and the body of the female corpse, looking bloody and weird.
"Maybe I'm stuck by the rules of the ghost closet."
Zhang Hao looked inside the closet and didn't see anything else except the legs of the female corpse.
But this female corpse was so weird that she couldn't crawl out of it, so we could only assume that this was due to the rules of the ghost closet.
After reaching the top of the clock tower, the ghost bride no longer controlled Zhang Hao's body. He immediately took two steps forward and came to the ghost cupboard.
He is not worried about the threat this female corpse poses to him. With the ghost bride by his side and the ghost picture frame, he can easily restart it.
Moreover, Zhang Hao did not feel the threat from this female corpse and instinctively wanted to avoid facing it.
Approaching the ghost closet, Zhang Hao quickly saw a piece of paper soaked in blood in the drawer of the ghost closet.
There seems to be writing on the paper, but Zhang Hao cannot read it clearly because it is soaked in blood and the writing is also blood-colored.
While Zhang Hao was looking at the ghost closet and the female body, the ghost bride moved.
Under Zhang Hao’s gaze, the ghost bride stepped forward.
The female corpse that crawled out seemed to be aware of the ghost bride's approach. She stopped struggling to crawl out and stretched out one hand in the direction of the ghost bride.
The hand was swollen and white, and it was stained with blood. It looked like a body that had been murdered and thrown into the river but was still alive and was asking for help from the ghost bride.
The bride seemed to ignore the hand extended by the female corpse and walked directly past her towards the ghost closet.
Even though the female corpse had already grabbed the ghost bride's ankle with one hand when she approached, she still didn't let her pause.
She reached out and grabbed the ghost cupboard, and actually lifted the blood-red wooden board on top of the ghost cupboard alive.
With the bride's movements, the entire ghost closet was peeled off the wooden shell.
The ghost cupboard was damaged, and the female corpse inside seemed to escape from the restraints. Blood kept dripping from her hands and grabbed the ghost bride's body, dyeing the wedding dress even brighter red.
After destroying the ghost cupboard, the ghost bride’s attention seemed to have finally been transferred to the female corpse.
At this time, the bride took the initiative to reach out and grab the hand of the female corpse.
In an instant, the swollen body of the female corpse shriveled up, as if the blood had been drained from her body, and soon she turned into a mummy.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Hao mentally recalled the scene when he saw the mummy bride for the first time.
If the mummy bride at that time took off her wedding dress and hijab, the body inside would probably not be much different from this female corpse, right?
The skin is dry and dark yellow, and the body exudes a foul smell.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao looked at the changes in the ghost bride.
The Ghost Bride seemed to have absorbed the blood and flesh from the female corpse, and the black nails on her hands turned blood red at this moment.
The bride's wedding dress, hijab, and pair of embroidered shoes became more colorful at this moment.
After the bride finished all this, she did not stop what she was doing. She walked straight to the remains of the previously destroyed ghost closet.
The ghost cabinet did not really disappear after losing the wooden body, but turned into a somewhat illusory cabinet.
The ghost bride stretched out a hand and placed it over the shadow of the ghost cupboard. On her blood-red nails, drops of bright red blood fell on the shadow of the ghost cupboard.
It's very strange. The ghost closet is obviously illusory, even if Zhang Hao reaches out and touches it, he can't touch it.
But when the bright red blood dripped on it, it seemed to be caught by the ghost closet.
It is as if this blood can touch something that does not exist in reality.
The dripping blood continued to flow along the shadow of the ghost cupboard, and soon a blood-red ghost cupboard reappeared.
Although the ghost closet this time is still very illusory, it is much more solid than before.
“No, that’s not right.”
"This thing is still a shadow."
Zhang Hao looked at the ghost cabinet and soon discovered the strangeness of the ghost cabinet.
I am afraid that this ghost closet does not exist in reality. If it were others, they might not be able to see it at all.
It's just that the ghost bride dripped the blood on the ghost cupboard and grafted the curse of the ghost cupboard onto her body.
For now, Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride can be regarded as one ghost, but they are just two individuals of one ghost.
So after the bride accepted the curse of the ghost cupboard, Zhang Hao was also able to see the shadow of the ghost cupboard.
When the Ghost Bride finished everything, she stopped moving and seemed to be caught in some kind of conflict.
Zhang Hao is very familiar with this situation. It is caused by the conflict of completing the puzzle.
Every time Zhang Hao completes a puzzle, his consciousness will also fall into conflict, competing with the ghosts in the puzzle for dominance.
The current bride is competing with the female corpse in the ghost closet for dominance.
But obviously, the female corpse in the ghost closet was no match for the ghost bride. The ghost bride just paused in place for more than ten minutes and quickly resumed action.
With the ghost bride taking complete control of the female corpse, Zhang Hao also has an understanding of the female corpse and the abilities of the ghost closet.
The ghost cupboard is simply a curse. Even if you control the ghost cupboard, you still need to pay a certain price if you want to use the ghost cupboard's abilities.
The female corpse inside was restricted by the ghost closet.
It should be those people from the Republic of China who dismembered and trapped the first-generation Ghost Bride's driver inside after her death.
But in this way, the female corpse has mastered the curse on this ghost closet.
The ability of the female corpse is also very simple, that is, medium and curse. She can curse others through blood.
Because the female corpse controlled the ghost closet, the ghost closet changed.
Anyone who trades with the ghost closet will be cursed by the female corpse inside. Once the transaction is not completed for a long time, or the transaction is not completed, the female corpse will kill the cursed person.
“Let’s go to the Caesar Hotel.”
Zhang Hao looked at the blood stains on the ground and knew that there was nothing worth planning in Guanjiang Community, so he said immediately.
This time, the bride who has mastered the ghost closet seems to have improved her thinking logic again.
When I heard the place name of Caesar Hotel this time, I didn’t show the same incomprehension as before at Shang Tong Building.
Even after Zhang Hao spoke, the ghost bride actually stepped forward, took Zhang Hao's hand, and then took the initiative to release the ghost.
As the gray paper dust fell on the clock tower, Zhang Hao and the ghost bride also entered the world of ghost paintings, standing in front of a painting of a ghost bride standing at the door of the courtyard.
The next moment, the portrait suddenly zoomed in, and the door in the painting seemed to be real, swallowing Zhang Hao and the ghost bride.
When Zhang Hao checked the surrounding situation again, they had arrived at the Ghost News Agency.
“The wisdom has indeed been improved.”
Zhang Hao stared at the ghost bride for a long time. After completing the female corpse and controlling the ghost closet, it seemed that he had brought greater success than completing the ghost painting. changes.
Of course, this change does not refer to strength. The combat power of Ghost Cabinet cannot be compared with that of Ghost Painting.
What Zhang Hao is referring to is in the mode of thinking.
The original Ghost Bride was an imperfect program full of loopholes.
After getting the ghost painting, the ghost bride behaves like a program with almost no loopholes.
After the ghost closet is completed, the behavior of the ghost bride can no longer be a program.
She is like an extremely simplified version of AI, such as the housekeeper robot in your mobile phone.
Of course, if you change it to a more vivid image, you can think of the Ghost Bride as having an animal-like IQ.
She knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and knows where she has been. To put it simply, she now has a simple concept of memory, and she no longer relies solely on behavioral logic to do things.
The arrival of Zhang Hao and the ghost bride attracted the attention of the ghost newspaper agency.
The living person who was selling newspapers to Zhang Hao before and was controlled now stepped forward.
“Guest, please take your wife and walk straight along the passage outside.”
The man walked to the door of the Ghost News Agency, pointed to a dark corridor and said.
Zhang Hao remembered that long corridor, it was an endless road, when the ghost newspaper sent Zhang Hao and the ghost bride to leave the Caesar Hotel.
Zhang Hao just kept walking forward, and then suddenly appeared from Kuimulin Village.
“Let’s go, bride.”
After hearing the arrangement, Zhang Hao had no intention of staying at the ghost newspaper agency.
Although he is not qualified to compete with ghost reports now, he believes that it will not take long.
Now that the ghost bride has obtained the ghost closet, and if they get the red room, they will have a real supernatural place as their capital, just like the ghost newspaper agency.
Out of the ghost newspaper office, Zhang Hao led the ghost bride along the dark corridor. "Bride? Can you speak now?"
Zhang Hao walked forward and suddenly asked the bride beside him.
However, the bride did not answer her at this time, but took the initiative to hold his arm. Obviously she was unable to speak.
It should be said that her level of intelligence has not reached the level where she can speak and communicate.
After all, many aliens who think they are human are not as scary as the Bride, and their puzzle pieces are not as complete as the Bride's, but they can speak.
At this time, the other side.
On a road, an old bus is driving forward.
It was an old forest, and in the sky above the old forest, dark, ink-like raindrops kept falling, which made the people in the bus upset.
"The supernatural bus has passed the third stop, and you have to find a chance to get off."
Hearing this.
All the messengers, including Yang Jian, had serious expressions on their faces, and their nerves could not help but become tense.
Because they will leave this supernatural bus next.
Although the car was weird, at least it was safe.
I have seen the situation outside before. Whether it is a rainy platform, a calm county town, or an abandoned village, it is extremely dangerous.
Once you leave here, you are basically on a path of no return.
I don’t know if I want to wait until the next bus comes.
"Why is this letter delivery mission so difficult?" Qin Kai took a deep breath and looked at Wang Feng, Da Qiang, and Eagle, who were also messengers on the fourth floor.
Several people looked at each other at this moment, and they all saw panic and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
Under this situation, no one is confident that they can deliver the letter and return to the post office alive.
Probably, everyone thought they would die here.
"Rather than get off the bus and die in vain, it is better to stay on this bus and live as long as you can."
Suddenly, the face of the man named Daqiang turned slightly ferocious, and he bit into Ya said.
His words broke the silence in the carriage.
For a while, many people turned to look at him.
The eagle's eyes flickered: "Perhaps, this is a good choice. At least we can live for a while."
"But we will still die when the curse of the post office comes, even if This bus can withstand the curse of the post office, but the bus itself is very dangerous."
After saying that, he glanced at other people who were not messengers intentionally or unintentionally.
All of these people have supernatural powers, and none of them are simple. They are at least the level of messengers on the fourth floor of the post office. They will all be damaged here, and the fate of people like myself will definitely not be much better.
Everyone is dead.
"If you succeed in delivering the letter, you still have a chance to go to the fifth floor. If you stay, you will definitely die. There is not much difference between living a few more days and living a few less days. I will not do such a stupid thing."< br>
Liu Qingqing, wearing a red cheongsam, said coldly.
She will participate in this letter delivery mission no matter what.
"I agree with delivering the letter. We have already reached the fourth floor, and we are just a little short. It would be foolish to back down at this time."
Wang Feng was silent for a long time, and now he spoke.
"The messengers on the fourth floor were all frightened by this experience."
A new teammate named Yan Yan who was recruited by Yang Jian secretly thought after seeing this.
He did not look down on these people, but felt that it was natural for them to have such thoughts.
After all, top ghost masters are not willing to get on this bus. The people who get on the bus are people close to the resurrection of ghosts. Such people will die outside even if they don't get on the bus.
There is no way out.
It is impossible to get here by any other method.
"The rain outside has stopped."
The bus continued to move forward, the rainy area finally ended, and the outside returned to what it was before.
The water droplets on the car window were quickly disappearing at this moment, and soon no traces could be seen at all.
Now that we have left the third stop of the supernatural land, we are on our way to the fourth stop. In Yang Jian's opinion, this road is far more dangerous than the previous three stops.
“The weird old woman hasn’t gotten off the car yet. In the next two stops, the number of ghosts decreased and then increased. The final result remained the same. The number still reached an astonishing 13. This is not good news.” Yang I am very uneasy at the moment.
The old woman got into the car from a rural area that looked very peaceful, with fields full of rice.
But this old woman is the owner of Room 301 in Dachuan City, the existence that made Yang Jian almost die.
This is a huge hidden danger.
Combined with the fact that the post office's letter delivery task was for this old woman, something very bad came to his mind.
"Captain Yang, do you want to get off at the fourth stop?" Suddenly, a city manager named Fan Xing asked.
Yang Jian's expression changed and he glanced briefly: "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing, I just asked out of curiosity. The next stop may not be safe. Place." Fan Xing said.
"You'd better be less curious about my affairs. Why did you receive an order from the headquarters to ask about my intentions?"
Yang Jian said: "If this is the case, you should report to Minister Cao and tell him I'm helping the headquarters deal with supernatural incidents. Remember to pay me overtime if I don't die."
"Okay, okay, definitely." Fan Xing smiled, a little embarrassed.
He was indeed not curious, but had received information from the headquarters.
The signal on the supernatural bus is intermittent, but it can still be contacted, but it is unstable.
But at this time.
Suddenly.
The bus that was running normally came to a sudden stop, and everyone in the bus, even the ghosts on the seats, shook.
Far away.
As Zhang Hao and the ghost bride continued to move forward in the dark corridor, he suddenly felt like he was on a whim.
In this dark corridor, Zhang Hao suddenly summoned the ghost coffin and the ghosts carrying the coffin, then knelt down on the ghost coffin and walked forward.
As for the bride, when Zhang Hao summoned the ghost coffin, she also took the initiative to summon the paper sedan chair and sat on it.
Four ghosts wearing mourning clothes, but the fabric was dyed red, followed Zhang Hao carrying the sedan chair.
Behind the ghost coffin and sedan chair, there were many ghosts following.
These are the ghost controllers that Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride killed in Dadong City. The ghosts in them were controlled by the ghosts and they would normally be locked up in ghost paintings.
Once Zhang Hao and the ghost bride sit on the ghost coffin and sedan chair, they will be summoned.
Oddly enough, under normal circumstances, Zhang Hao would not be able to obtain the terrifying blessing of the ghost coffin. At most, he could control it remotely and use it as a supernatural item.
But once Zhang Hao sits on the ghost coffin and cries on it like a funeral, part of the horror of the ghost coffin will also increase to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao guessed.
Perhaps the spread of folklore is because similar ghosts really existed in the past.
Before the evil ghosts appeared in folk customs, people spread such folk customs based on the killing patterns of evil ghosts.
It is not that folk custom appeared before the ghosts, it was only after folk customs that the ghosts with rules similar to the folk customs were born.
Just when Zhang Hao and the ghost bride were sitting on the ghost coffin, the dark corridor unknowingly turned into a highway.
Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride no longer moved forward in tandem, but appeared on two paths on the left and right of the highway, walking forward.
The gray paper ashes fell at this time, and the burning ones were scattered on the ground.
Weird and terrifying cries echoed along the road.
On the far side of the road is an old forest. Deep in the old forest, there is an old house with red lanterns. If you look carefully, there are graves in the old forest.
A funeral procession was walking on the opposite side of the road, heading towards Lao Lin, as if heading to Lao Lin for a funeral.
At the same time, in the old forest, a red team carrying a sedan chair came towards the road.
It looked like there was a team that successfully picked up a bride hanging from that building. The old house with red lanterns is coming this way.
The wedding procession and the funeral procession just saw each other on both sides of the road. The bride in the sedan and the mourners on the coffin looked at each other.
From afar it looks like we are debating whether red is white or not? Or is it a waste of time to make things red?
At this seemingly controversial time, a bus was coming from one side of the road at an extremely fast speed.
