Chapter 123 Baishui Town, strange noodles
As the ghost bride kept combing her long hair with a wooden comb.
A strange scene appeared.
The hair that was originally tangled and messy and had some split ends began to become smooth.
Wooden combs seem to have a magical power that can bring life to things that have been combed.
Not long after, the long hair of the Ghost Bride became flowing and smooth, with a feeling of vitality, not at all like the hair of a dead person.
This is a wooden comb that can restore life to people!
If used by a ghost controller, it may have an unexpected effect, and it may be able to avoid the erosion of the ghost's resurrection to a certain extent.
Maybe this was what the man who controlled the ghost bride used to comb her hair in the Republic of China, and it could help her ease the ghost's resurgence.
But now, for the Ghost Bride, in addition to rejuvenating her body and becoming more beautiful, it only has the effect of increasing the level of terror.
Zhang Hao looked in the direction of the ghost lake. He also had long, flowing hair on his head, which looked very strange.
“Forget it for now, let’s take advantage of this opportunity to control the ghost lake.”
Zhang Hao did not continue to think about the problem of the wooden comb, which has a complete set of puzzle types. Supernatural items cannot play a real role in a single situation.
Perhaps when more puzzle pieces are completed in the future, we will be able to discover other effects of this thing.
This thing is a supernatural item, and it may need to be combined with ghost scissors, ghost mirror, etc.
Speaking of which, the ghost mirror can resurrect living people, and the wooden comb can restore life. Maybe they can really cooperate.
Zhang Hao looked at the ghost lake and directly activated the ghost's ability to capture the ghost.
Under the control of the ghost, Guihu showed no resistance to the seizure and was successfully controlled.
If the ghost lake was originally intact, it might be able to withstand it or even escape back into the lake.
In that case, Zhang Hao did not dare to go into the water easily, fearing that his abilities would be learned by Gui Hu.
But the current Guihu couldn't resist, and soon Zhang Hao completely filled up the Guihu quota for Guicha.
After Zhang Hao captured the ghost lake, he was not satisfied.
Although the horror level of the ghost lake is very high, the level of terror brought to Zhang Hao's body is not as high as when the black and white portrait was completed.
"It seems that this should be a flaw in this ability to grow infinitely."
Zhang Hao thought briefly and quickly understood.
Unlimited growth is about unilaterally controlling the evil ghosts, rather than completing the evil ghosts.
Puzzles need each other and can complement each other's missing abilities.
This kind of unilateral control only requires the supernatural power of another ghost unilaterally, and will not achieve the effect of complementary abilities.
Although there is no limit to this kind of growth, the growth brought by capturing a ghost is just plus one.
The puzzles complement each other and bring improvements far beyond the effect of one plus one equals two.
"But even so, it is still unsolvable enough."
Zhang Hao did not think for too long because the growth effect was not as good as the puzzle.
After all, the ability to grow without limit is strong enough.
“By the way, madam, these are the hairs on Guihu’s head.”
Zhang Hao took out a section of long hair. This was when he captured Guihu, he deliberately did not What was taken away was to be left to the ghost bride.
The bride looked at the long hair for a long time, and finally reached out to take it.
Although she has hair, it is not Li Gui's hair.
The long hair came into contact with the ghost bride's palm, and the next moment, it began to squirm and wrap around the ghost bride's scalp.
After a long time, the long hair on the ghost bride’s head was replaced by this weird hair.
“The ghost lake has been solved. Now it’s time to find a place to grow in peace and let the wife grow up.”
After having a rough estimate of his own strength, Zhang Hao had no idea of doing anything else.
After taking a look, Yang Jian and others had already left the lake.
At this time, Zhang Hao no longer had the idea of chasing Yang Jian. I don’t know if it was an illusion. As he continued to control the ghost, Zhang Hao felt that he was becoming more and more like a real person.
"Madam, please include the ghost lake in the painting."
Although the ghost lake has been controlled, this lake has not disappeared because of this, but still exists there.
Zhang Hao controlled the source of the ghost lake, but only gained the ability to use the ghost lake. He can appear in the ghost lake at any time in the future.
He did not absorb all the lake water into his body.
“Next step, let’s go to that place.”
Zhang Hao returned to the world of ghost paintings. Regarding his own changes, he thought of a special place - Baishui Town. .
There, there was an old man with terrifying strength. He was an old man who had been on the road of controlling ghosts for a long time.
The long-term state of ghosts controlling people has even made the old man's behavior no longer much different from that of a living person.
Zhang Hao does not want to restore his humanity, but that does not mean that he is not eager to solve the flaws in his thinking as a devil.
He does not want to be imprisoned in the future because a special supernatural item affects his behavior when his strength is comparable to the Seven Elders.
Baishui Town is located near Dachang City. With Zhang Hao's current ghost, it didn't take much time to successfully reach here.
Although it is daytime, the sky in the town is dim and depressing at this time, with thick dark clouds covering the entire town like an airtight cover.
The sun was shining brightly outside the town, but it was raining continuously inside the town.
Even the temperature is very different.
The rain-shrouded Baishui Town is filled with a dampness and inexplicable chill everywhere.
If ordinary people lived in this kind of climate environment, they would shiver even if they were wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket.
Zhang Hao was walking on the road in the town. He reached out and touched the rain in the town slightly.
The rain falling on my hands was particularly cold, and it didn't feel real because the rain dissipated quickly.
This is not evaporation or loss, but like disappearing into thin air.
"The influence is not strong. It seems to be just an ordinary ghost, which makes the situation look weird."
Zhang Hao did not pay attention to the rain, although he did not completely understand the ghost. The water from the lake was absorbed into the body, but all the blood in the body was replaced by the lake water.
Zhang Hao led the ghost bride forward, and occasionally encountered some houses with half-open doors on the road, which were dark inside.
Zhang Hao looked at one of the rooms and could only see a huge painting hanging on the wall of the lobby through a few gaps.
At this moment, the portrait is covered with mildew spots. These mildew spots cover the portrait, adding a bit of weirdness to the original portrait.
As we go deeper into Baishui Town, there is a musty smell in the air. It has been soaked by rain for a long time, causing mold to breed in many houses.
And before you know it, pedestrians begin to appear on the road, and occasionally one or two people pass by.
The faces of the pedestrians passing by were very abnormal, a little pale, and their bodies were stained with supernatural rain. It was unclear whether they were living or dead.
It is obvious that Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride will attract much attention no matter where they appear.
But at this time, Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride were walking on the streets here, but they saw no one at all.
Zhang Hao stretched out his hand to stop a middle-aged man walking towards him.
This middle-aged man was wearing a raincoat and rain boots. His body was wet, as if he had just been exposed to the rain. His face was a little pale and his expression was a little dull.
Zhang Hao stretched out his hand to stop the other party, but the other party seemed not to notice at all.
He was still walking alone, his slightly pale face not changing at all. Even if he bumped into Zhang Hao's hand, he just got up numbly and wanted to continue walking forward.
"It seems that these are the so-called dead souls in Baishui Town."
Zhang Hao looked at these people thoughtfully, but quickly passed by.
He is not concerned about whether these people can be resurrected, because that means nothing to him.
We continued to move forward, but this city did not seem to be as scary as the original book said. Zhang Hao had already walked around the entire city.
I didn't find the weird old man, let alone the ghost that could create a world.
While Zhang Hao was thinking and looking around.
Suddenly.
"Chi! Chi!"
A sound like electricity sounded.
A neon sign on a store in a surrounding building suddenly flashed, lighting up in the dark environment.
The colorful light spread, slightly dispersing some of the darkness, so that the Baishui Town would not be blind.
The rain in the sky continues to fall.
However, on the rain-covered street, a figure gradually turned from illusion to reality, and actually appeared in front of us in just a short moment. One, two, three, densely packed figures appeared.
After a while, the streets in the rain were filled with people. These people were standing at a certain distance apart, with their heads slightly lowered, walking on the road in the rain.
Silence, the slightly noisy footsteps came from the dim environment.
“So, does it take a certain time for the horror in Baishui Town to truly unfold?”
The memory belonging to Zhang Hao does not have much impact on Baishui Town. Pay more attention.
I just know that there are undead in Baishui Town, there is an old man who controls people, and there is a terrifying ghost who can derive Zhang Dong.
"Crunch."
When Zhang Hao was thinking.
The door of the shop next to the street slowly opened at this moment. The shop was dark, but some strange noises could be vaguely heard inside.
Not just a street store.
On the entire street, more than half of the street-facing shops have opened their doors. In addition, yellow lights are also lit in the windows of some buildings.
Baishui Town, which was deserted before, suddenly became lively at night.
“The entire county seems to be constructed by supernatural beings. No place is normal, and it only invades the real world at night.”
What Zhang Hao did about Baishui Town From a simple judgment, the location he is currently in may no longer be in reality, but in some supernatural place.
Night is just an opportunity for that supernatural county to invade Baishui Town.
“Huh?”
Just when Zhang Hao was about to move forward, he suddenly paused and felt a sense of peeping.
After completing the ghost eye, Zhang Hao's perception of sight improved a lot, so he immediately discovered the abnormality.
He lowered his head and saw a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at him from the gap in the sewer manhole cover.
“Even this manhole cover is a ghost?”
Zhang Hao stared at the manhole cover and reached out to lift it up.
As the manhole cover was lifted, there was a sound in the sewer, as if something was walking.
Soon, an arm covered with scratches, bruises and rotten wounds stretched out from under the manhole cover and grabbed Zhang Hao.
But just when this arm was about to touch Zhang Hao, it stopped strangely.
It was suppressed.
Although Zhang Hao has shortened the distance of brainless suppression after realizing that this place is a supernatural place to avoid causing certain changes, this ghost is too close.
After suppressing the ghost, Zhang Hao didn't think much and directly controlled it as a puzzle.
The reason why we are vigilant is because we are still weak and we are among the seedlings and cannot tolerate being destroyed.
Now that he has mastered the ghosts and part of the ghost lake, plus his original supernatural power, he no longer needs to worry too much.
The ghost bride restarts, the ghost painting restarts, the ghost ghost restarts, the memory restarts, the portrait restarts, and the lake restarts. He now has six levels of restart ability.
In addition, now that he has turned into a ghost, he can even restart the ghost's time. It can be said that he no longer has too many worries.
The only ones who can still be enemies are probably Zhang Dong and Zhang Baihua.
Walking through the streets of this strange county, he was not unfamiliar with this situation.
Compared with the number of ghosts I encountered in that weird city last time, there are not too many ghosts in this weird county.
It’s just that compared to the ghosts in the weird city who are bound by taboo rules, the ghosts here seem more chaotic.
Just when Zhang Hao looked at the shops on both sides of the street.
The door of a hotel with a neon sign and four characters on it opened, and there was a bar at the entrance of the hotel.
There was a person standing behind the bar. It was a woman.
The woman's hair was wet, as if she had just been caught in the rain, her complexion was ashen, and she stood motionless like a corpse.
It seemed that Zhang Hao outside caught the woman's attention. She turned her head to look at Zhang Hao strangely.
At this time, you can clearly see that the other half of this woman's face seems to be melting.
The flesh on his face was falling off, his eyes were hollow, but there was a slight smile on his lips.
The expression on the entire face seemed to have been set long ago, making it look weird and terrifying.
"This seems to be a hotel."
Zhang Hao frowned and looked at a sign at the door of the hotel that read "Three yuan for accommodation."
These four words reminded him of some not-so-good memories.
"You still know how to make money, is this something similar to a ghost newspaper?"
"But accommodation doesn't mean much to me. The things wandering in this city are not dangerous enough for me yet. "Ghost."
Zhang Hao turned around and had no idea of entering the hotel.
It’s not that he doesn’t have money. The boss Liu who killed Taiping Ancient Town before seems to be a very wealthy ghost controller.
Zhang Hao got a lot of ghost money from him, a total of twenty yuan.
Keep going.
There are new neon lights flashing.
The neon signboard has two words written on it: Noodle Shop.
The noodle shop is not big, with only seven tables inside. There is only a pair of bowls and chopsticks placed on each table. The bowls and chopsticks are a little faded, as if they have been placed on a tomb and have been exposed to wind and sun. Appearing pale.
In front of the table was an old bench, which was painted with black paint. The paint reminded people of the black paint on the coffin.
The noodle shop's back cook couldn't see clearly, it was shrouded in darkness, but the sound of a kitchen knife chopping on a chopping board could be faintly heard.
The voice was slow and rhythmic
Compared to the previous hotel, this noodle shop caught Zhang Hao’s attention.
A noodle shop should have food. The customers in this kind of place are obviously evil spirits, so what is the food?
Is it a ghost? Or human? Or some special supernatural items?
With some curiosity, Zhang Hao slowly walked towards the noodle shop.
"Small bowl of noodles is three yuan, large bowl of noodles is four yuan."
There is a price list posted near the cashier in the store.
In the checkout counter, there was a middle-aged ghost standing, with skinny, gray skin, and eyes that were dull and numb.
Zhang Hao looked towards the kitchen of the noodle shop. Although it was dark inside, he could barely make out only one figure.
It seems that the ghost at the bar may be the owner of this noodle shop.
It’s hard to imagine that in such a weird-looking noodle shop, the boss doesn’t act like he’s intelligent.
Zhang Hao looked at it, took out two three-yuan notes, walked closer, and handed the two banknotes to the ghost who was suspected of being the owner of the noodle shop.
The other party took the two banknotes and put them in the cabinet at the bar.
At the same time, the kitchen door suddenly closed at this time.
The sound of chopping vegetables that came from the kitchen before became more rapid and loud at this time.
It seems that after receiving the money, the chef inside started working.
“I don’t know what effect these foods will have. Is it some kind of puzzle?”
Zhang Hao looked at the closed kitchen door, and the sound of chopping vegetables coming from inside was louder at this moment. It becomes extremely mysterious, making people wonder what the chef is chopping.
About ten minutes passed, and there was movement from the cashier.
The middle-aged ghost stood up and grabbed for the food outlet behind him.
There was obviously nothing, but when the ghost was placed on the food outlet, a bowl with noodles appeared in the opponent's hand.
It came over with this bowl of noodles, placed the noodles on the dining table in front of Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride, and then went to get the second bowl.
Zhang Hao looked at the noodles in the bowl. The noodles looked a little strange. They were actually black, and the noodle soup also looked extremely bright red.
Black noodles and red soup, but other than that, there is nothing else in the bowl.
But there was a strange aroma in the bowl that made people feel hungry.
Even though Zhang Hao, as a ghost, has long lost his appetite and hunger, he still feels hungry to eat at this time.
"Madam, you eat first."
Zhang Hao handed the noodles to the ghost bride. Although the hunger was strong, it did not make Zhang Hao completely lose the ability to resist.
The ghost bride took the noodles, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Apparently, the noodles also made the Ghost Bride feel the onset of hunger.
