Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Chapter 54 The Sudden Arrival of the Ghost Painting

Chu Mo locked onto the figure reading a newspaper in the darkness. As the ghostly domain expanded, the yellow paper was delivered to the person.

Although the yellow paper had an effect, the figure reading the newspaper remained unresponsive in the darkness.

He approached the counter and yanked the other person's hand off from the newspaper.

The ghost eye swept over, but Chu Mo was somewhat disappointed.

"So it really was just a puppet?"

Chu Mo stared at the other person's face. It was the face of a middle-aged man, but the body was that of an extremely slender young girl.

Clearly, the other party was merely a victim influenced by the newspaper.

Even after the newspaper was torn from his hand, the other person continued reading the newspaper without even glancing at Chu Mo.

"It seems that dealing with intelligent ghosts is not as easy as I thought."

Chu Mo recalled the wishing ghost; because Zhao Kaiming was there, this thing had almost no room to move around on its own.

In contrast, the newspaper ghost has no restrictions or conditions to follow, and can do whatever it wants.

Chu Mo even felt that this ghost was more cautious than many normal people.

Even if they wanted to strip Yang Jian of his face, they would only do so by altering his memories and making ordinary people do things for them.

The arrest attempt failed, which was exactly what Chu Mo had expected.

He clutched the blood-stained old newspaper in his hand. Although it was just a derivative product, it was still enough for him to use a few times, given the supernatural origin of the newspaper.

Compared to Yang Jian's tattered newspaper, the one in his hand was much more intact.

After rescanning the shops using the Ghost Domain and finding no other supernatural phenomena, Chu Mo quickly returned.

At this moment, Yang Jian also got some answers from Zhao Lei.

In order to become a ghost tamer, this guy frantically researched online, and he would go wherever there might be paranormal events.

He hadn't succeeded the previous times, but this time, he unexpectedly encountered the newspaper ghost.

Afterwards, his memories were altered, and Yang Jian was lured into the town to become a puppet working for the newspaper ghost.

Chu Mo was not surprised by this.

"It seems you've finished dealing with it."

Yang Jian looked at Chu Mo, who had reappeared, and the old newspaper in his hand, and made a guess.

"No," Chu Mo shook his head.

"That ghost can't be dealt with by normal means. The one in the mask shop is just a puppet. The real newspaper ghost isn't even in this town."

"Is that so? It seems this ghost is quite cautious."

Yang Jian seemed somewhat disappointed, as this meant that similar incidents might occur again in Dachang City in the future.

With this hidden danger lurking, Dachang City will likely find it difficult to maintain peace in the future.

Chu Mo didn't care about Yang Jian's thoughts. This wasn't something he was worried about. Although he hadn't obtained the original newspaper yet, the derivative newspapers were enough.

It might dissipate after only a few uses, but it's still better than coming for nothing.

He didn't stay there any longer, but instead used the Ghost Domain to say goodbye to the two of them.

"Yang Jian, Chu Mo seems to know a lot about the supernatural. Could you have him help me become a Ghost Tamer?"

Zhao Lei wanted to say something, but Chu Mo left too quickly. Helpless, he could only pin his hopes on Yang Jian to convey his thoughts to Chu Mo.

However, Yang Jian refused, saying, "Becoming a Ghost Tamer will not benefit you, and the risk of death is very high. Even if you wanted to, he might not help you."

"After all, becoming a ghost tamer requires having a ghost that can be controlled. Do you think, under normal circumstances, someone would choose to use supernatural powers and sacrifice their own lifespan just to help someone?"

Zhao Lei fell silent.

But he was unwilling to accept it. After the ghost knocking incident, he had a premonition that the world had changed.

Ghosts cannot be killed, and ordinary people have very little chance of surviving such an event.

Zhao Lei didn't want to die in some future supernatural event, so he kept trying to find a way to become a ghost tamer.

He stopped speaking and did not heed Yang Jian's advice.

......

A city road.

Chu Mo was walking down the street, eager to conduct an experiment.

Write down the memories of the mummified bride in newspaper, so that the ghost can have the instinct to act on its own.

"If the newspaper manipulation works on the bride, it might not be impossible to create an alternative ghost."

To be on the safe side, he did not return to Zhongzhou, but instead planned to go to the old Republican-era house in Guanjiang Community.

There's a haunted cabinet there; even if there are risks involved, this thing can provide a solution.

However, just as he was traveling through the ghost realm, Yang Jian's ghost eye seemed to sense something and instinctively closed up, along with the ghost realm that the ghost eye had opened.

Chu Mo's expression changed as a strong sense of crisis came from the distance behind him.

He looked in that direction and saw a hazy, gray world rapidly stretching out from the distance across the street where he was standing.

This world is vast and dark, so dark that even the streetlights can't penetrate it.

The moment everything comes into contact with this world, it seems to be assimilated, becoming dull and lifeless, and becoming a part of this world.

This is... a world of ghost drawings!

Are you kidding me!

Chu Mo was instantly furious. Just a second ago everything was fine, but the next second, the ghostly world suddenly descended upon him, and at a very fast speed.

In his view, this world was ridiculously large.

From west to south, a nearly endless gray strip divides the city.

As he drew closer to this world, Chu Mo's unease grew exponentially.

Chu Mo saw a wisp of candlelight slowly flickering in this gray world, emitting an eerie green glow.

Beneath the white candles are golden candlesticks, not some ancient artifact, but a recently created item.

In the candlelight, a pair of smooth, fair, and flawless hands were pierced by the candlestick.

The image flashed, and the owner of the hand appeared. It was a woman, but she had no facial features, only a blurry outline, like a flat two-dimensional oil painting.

at the same time.

At this moment, Chu Mo's left hand, which was holding the dried-up corpse bride, also began to instinctively try to break free.

This is the instinct of a vengeful ghost to find a piece of the puzzle. Generally speaking, even if a piece of the puzzle is found, the ghost inside the body should not be so agitated when it is controlled by a ghost tamer.

But the truth is that the dried-up bride's condition is very strange.

Chu Mo's expression hardened, and immediately only one thought crossed his mind.

run!

He dared not be careless about the horror of the ghost painting. Once caught up in it, Yang Jian's ghost eyes would not be able to escape.

Immediately, he forcefully activated his Ghost Eye, turning its power to maximum, and ran wildly in the opposite direction of the ghost painting.

Fortunately, the woman in the ghost painting seemed to be restrained by the candlestick and did not notice what was happening here.

After creating some distance, the ghostly realm of the ghost painting disappeared into the distance.
