Chapter 167 Sending Invitations
After successfully putting on makeup for the ghost bride, Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment when he saw the ghost bride’s appearance.
It’s not that he was fascinated, it’s just that he didn’t know what to do next.
The puzzle pieces in the red room have been completed, and the makeup on the ghost bride's face has been patched up, but nothing has changed in the room.
"Hao~light the candle!"
Fortunately, at this time, the ghost bride spoke again.
Perhaps because of the makeup on her face, in addition to being able to call Zhang Hao's name, she was also able to understand how to express other things in words.
"Zhang Hao, I'm coming!"
He Yuelian heard the ghost bride speak, with surprise in her eyes, and walked towards the red candlestick with two candles, one red and one white, not far away. at.
The red candle and the white candle were lit, and the room lit up with two kinds of light, green and pitch black.
As that special black light appeared in the room, many strange figures were reflected in the ghost mirror placed on the dressing table.
Each of these figures is a terrifying ghost. They are attracted by this black light and want to walk into this red room. However, due to the restrictions of the ghost mirror, they cannot really come out and can only Crowded in front of the mirror.
Zhang Hao, who has the ability to see in the dark, could even see the terrifying faces printed on the ghost mirror.
“Madam, what should we do next?”
Since it is the ghost bride’s own puzzle, Zhang Hao thinks that the ghost bride should know what to do next and is too lazy to use prediction , asked directly.
"Hao, accept the bride."
Hearing Zhang Hao's question, the ghost bride slowly stood up and spoke softly to Zhang Hao.
Seemingly trying to master her speaking voice, or worried that Zhang Hao didn't understand what she was saying, the Ghost Bride stood up and looked at He Yuelian.
"Zhang Hao, the ghost bride asked you to release her outside the door, and then carry her to the sedan chair."
He Yuelian had a smile on her face and an uncontrollable look deep in her eyes. of excitement.
When she was in Tai'ao City before, she fantasized about having in-depth communication with Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao didn't give her a chance.
This time, Zhang Hao can’t refuse himself, can he? After all, now I am also a part of the Ghost Bride.
"Uh, okay."
Zhang Hao nodded, walked outside the door, and raised his hand.
As Zhang Hao waved, a red sedan chair was summoned in the darkness.
In the red sedan chair, there were many figures wrapped in red cloth. They were carrying the sedan chair. Some people were holding suonas in their hands and beating gongs and drums as they walked toward the ancient house.
"Well, it should be almost done."
Zhang Hao took a general look and saw that there were people playing gongs and drums, and there were also people playing suona.
These ghosts were all the ghosts that Zhang Hao later ate in the process of eating ghosts. However, they did not improve Zhang Hao much, so he did not have the idea of developing their supernatural powers.
What I didn’t expect was that I just took the initiative to call out the sedan chair, and these ghosts actually came up on their own.
But at this moment, Zhang Hao looked at himself again. He was so pale. If he really wanted to hold a wedding, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate?
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no need to deliberately change.
Because in Zhang Hao's previous thoughts, if he and the ghost bride complete the wedding, the main purpose is to allow the supernatural powers of both parties to be derived from each other.
If you deliberately change the mourning clothes into the groom's clothes, it will not be in line with your idea of integrating your own supernatural powers with the bride's supernatural powers.
While thinking, Zhang Hao walked back to the red room again.
In the room, the ghost bride was sitting in front of the dressing table, not knowing what she was doing.
When Zhang Hao got closer, he saw pieces of red letter paper appearing in the hands of the ghost bride.
"Hao~Invitation!"
The ghost bride noticed Zhang Hao walking in, picked up the red letter paper in his hand and said.
“The ghost bride said that these are the invitations she made. We can send these invitations to the ghost mirror, and the ghost mirror will help us send the invitations to the corresponding place in reality.”
He Yuelian explained: "But there are some places that are too scary, we still need to go there in person."
"I see, I understand."
Zhang Hao nodded. , looking at the invitation next to the Ghost Bride.
There are a lot of invitations. These invitations are basically a thin piece of red paper. There is no writing on it. It is just a piece of paper.
It’s such a thick stack, I don’t know how many there are.
The ghost bride took the invitation at this time, picked up most of it and handed it to the ghost mirror.
When the red paper comes into contact with the ghost mirror, the ghost mirror ripples like a lake and collects the red paper inside.
As the red paper was handed into the ghost mirror, Zhang Hao saw those terrifying figures in the mirror scrambling for the red paper.
After these figures got the red paper, some took one or two, some took four or five, and then disappeared.
However, in the depths of the ghost mirror, after the figures who got the red paper disappeared, new figures soon rushed in front of the ghost mirror to fight for the red paper.
This kind of red paper seems to have some extremely strange supernatural power, attracting these evil spirits to take the red paper away.
The ghost bride looked at the thinning pile of red paper in the mirror, and soon a new pile of red paper appeared in her hand and handed it in.
As more and more ghosts got the red paper, the figures that kept pouring out of the ghost mirror finally disappeared.
"Hao! Back!"
Seeing that no ghost's shadow appeared in the ghost mirror, the ghost bride did not pay attention to the small pile of red paper falling in the mirror. Instead, he stood up and said to Zhang Hao.
Hearing this, He Yuelian looked at Zhang Haogang and wanted to express what the Ghost Bride meant.
However, Zhang Hao had already carried the ghost bride on his back at this time.
Seeing this, He Yuelian shook her head helplessly.
Zhang Hao knows the ghost bride too well. The ghost bride is worried that Zhang Hao cannot understand her thoughts. There is no need at all.
But He Yuelian was also a little curious at this time.
When I first met the Ghost Bride, she seemed to have no intelligence and could only act on instinct.
When I saw the Ghost Bride for the second time, she already had her own way of acting and was able to make judgments.
When meeting the Ghost Bride this time, she even learned to speak and have simple exchanges with Zhang Hao.
Could it be that the ghost bride can be resurrected in the future? Or is it like a person who has real wisdom and can speak and communicate?
"He Yuelian, come out, we are leaving."
Zhang Hao left the red room with the ghost bride on his back, looked at He Yuelian who was still standing there, and shouted to her.
"Okay, I'm here."
He Yuelian heard Zhang Hao calling her, raised her head and followed him hurriedly with an expression of surprise.
There was no news for her from the Ghost Bride. She thought she didn’t need to follow them this time. She didn’t expect that she could also participate in the wedding team.
Zhang Hao carried the ghost bride to the sedan chair and led her up.
"Hao, send the invitation."
The ghost bride walked into the sedan chair and said to Zhang Hao. He Yuelian also followed up at this time, and said hurriedly after hearing this:
"Zhang Hao, the Ghost Bride asked you to go to various supernatural places. Next, we will take out the ghosts in these supernatural places." They all came to the ghost house."
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Hao nodded.
He walked to the front of the team, thought for a moment, pulled out the ghost coffin and sat on it.
Since the ghost bride is sitting on the sedan chair, she can sit on the coffin.
As Zhang Hao sat on the coffin, the sound of gongs, drums, and suonas came from the team. Zhang Hao felt inexplicably that his supernatural power was being improved at this time.
"Is this a change of puzzle that belongs to some kind of ritual?"
Zhang Hao felt the changes in himself and recalled the questions he had thought about.
Why did the Republic of China like to use related puzzles to express various supernatural objects?
Now, Zhang Hao understands that this should be some kind of special puzzle concept.
This jigsaw puzzle concept is not a jigsaw puzzle in the traditional sense, where two ghosts complement each other, but a jigsaw puzzle based on an idealistic concept.
Just like hands and feet, they are not directly related to puzzle pieces, but in terms of the concept of the body, they are puzzle pieces.
Another example is doors and windows. From a direct relationship point of view, these two ghosts have no connection with each other.
But when the door is used as the main concept, the two ghosts can be used as puzzle pieces for each other.
Even in this puzzle relationship, there is no ghost as the subject that can directly connect them.
In fact, when Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride just left the bus, Zhang Hao also used the red and white demons, although it was a bit crude.
But it did bring some improvement to Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride at that time.
This should also be a puzzle relationship in a conceptual sense, between Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride, because they are two individuals.
Even ghost slaves and ghost masters use each other's supernatural powers like a real puzzle, each improving the other, and at most they can only borrow part of each other's supernatural powers.
But after Zhang Hao built the sedan chair and the coffin, even if they were not holding hands together, in the concept of red and white collisions, they were already the two protagonists of the red and white events.
Simply put.
Puzzle one is the ghost bride, puzzle two is Zhang Hao.
At this time, one person is sitting on the sedan chair and the other person is sitting on the coffin.
An idealistic puzzle will arise between Zhang Hao and the ghost bride, where red and white collide.
The idealistic puzzle does not really exist, but it will complete the two ghosts Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride in an idealistic way, thereby enhancing the supernatural power above.
This situation is just like the situation where those ghosts with hands and feet instinctively reside on human corpses.
Human beings are unable to resist even the weakest supernatural power, and for evil spirits, there is basically no improvement.
But as a ghost with a severed arm or leg, if it has a human corpse, it will think that it has a body.
This is a misjudgment in the idealistic concept. Li Gui mistakenly believes that he has a complete body, which increases the level of terror of Li Gui.
If a broken leg and hand were placed on a person at the same time, he might not be able to bear it if he was a ghost controller.
But if it is a corpse, this hand and this foot have already formed a puzzle, and the supernatural powers between each other have been completed.
It’s just that whether it is human beings or these ordinary furniture, after all, it is just a puzzle of idealistic concepts. For Li Gui, it is at most an improvement in misjudgment.
Once they actually encounter puzzles in the form of ghosts, these ghosts will naturally choose to abandon these idealistic puzzles and give priority to completing the real puzzles.
This is the case with Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride now.
Red and white matters themselves cannot be related.
But because both parties have the basis of ghost seeking a bride, and Zhang Hao’s original identity was the ghost slave of the ghost bride.
Now that the horror levels of both parties have been superimposed, you can rely on the basic connection and combine with the idealistic puzzle to complement the supernatural powers of both parties.
It's just an idealistic puzzle. After all, it's just an idealistic puzzle. This improvement is not very big.
"Perhaps we still need to wait until the wedding is actually completed before the complementarity between us can be further improved."
Zhang Hao sat on the ghost coffin and looked at the highway where buses were traveling, feeling in his heart Can't help but think.
“Tap, tap, tap!”
While Zhang Hao was thinking, footsteps came from behind.
Zhang Hao turned around and took a look. It was He Yuelian who got off the sedan chair at some unknown time and was running towards him quickly.
"What happened?" Zhang Hao asked.
"It's okay." He Yuelian noticed Zhang Hao's gaze and shook her head.
"It's just that the ghost bride asked me to come over and accompany you."
He Yuelian walked to the side of the coffin, turned over and sat on the coffin board behind Zhang Hao.
“Are you still worried that I’m bored?” Zhang Hao couldn’t help but feel helpless.
He is a ghost. Even if he eats too many powerful ghosts, he can now have emotions that are no different from those of a living person.
But the emotion of boredom does not appear in my heart.
"Of course not, the Ghost Bride just wants to be by your side." He Yuelian also knew Zhang Hao's situation and shook her head.
"It's just that the ghost bride has to sit in the sedan chair now and can't come out, so she can only let me come over."
"Okay." Zhang Hao did not refuse after hearing this. .
For He Yuelian, He Yuelian is an individual.
But to the Ghost Bride, He Yuelian is just a part of her.
It depends on how you view this relationship, from a human perspective.
It is difficult to accept that one's own alter ego considers oneself an independent individual.
But from the perspective of a ghost, the clone is an independent individual, but it is also a part of itself, and there is no conflict with it.
After all, Li Gui's perspective is all kinds of strange.
Including Zhang Hao himself, his perspective also includes himself, his clones, and those black and white photos that he can use as his own eyes.
Even other people's memories of him exist from his perspective.
“Hehe!” He Yuelian giggled when he heard that Zhang Hao did not refuse.
However, she was not in a hurry to speak, but got down to business first.
A stack of red paper appeared in He Yuelian's hand, and she looked around casually.
When the team went to some strange places that seemed like there might be ghosts, He Yuelian would take out the red paper in his hand and start scattering it around casually.
The red paper was scattered by He Yuelian and floated in all directions with the wind.
In the dark and seemingly deserted wilderness, when these red papers were flying, they suddenly seemed to be picked up by someone and stopped in mid-air.
After a while, several figures walked out of the barren mountains. They followed the rear of the marriage team with red papers in their hands.
