Chapter 3, Level 1: Ghost Lake - Supernatural Events
Chu Mo really didn't expect that this ghost would arrive earlier than anticipated.
"Thump! Thump thump!"
One long knock followed by two short knocks came from all directions.
Dull and oppressive.
It felt as if someone had squeezed my heart tightly.
That suffocating feeling quickly spread.
The old man's hand was only slightly raised, but his voice seemed to explode from the depths of his ear.
moment.
A disturbance began to break out in the classroom.
As darkness spread faster and faster, the surrounding walls had silently rotted away.
Several boys who were leaning against the side of the desk collapsed and fell silent.
"Li Tian? Li Tian, what's wrong?"
"Oh no! Li Tian has fainted!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
"What do you mean fainted? That's fucking dead!"
Another person stood up, and Chu Mo knew from his memory that it was Fang Jing.
The first to obtain the human skin paper, and based on the prophecies on it, the fool who thought he was the protagonist of a rebirth.
"Chu Mo, it must have been you who attracted this ghost! You and Yang Jian are both scourges, you both deserve to die!"
Chu Mo's expression changed slightly; Fang Jing seemed to have obtained information about himself from the human skin paper.
This surprised him.
However, he ignored the other party for the time being and instead took out a piece of yellow paper that was imbued with the supernatural power of a vengeful ghost.
With the activation of the fingertip blood medium, one directly grasps the supernatural information on the yellow paper.
Dealing with the knocking ghost is definitely the highest priority right now.
Suddenly.
A dark shadow crawled up Chu Mo's right hand along the yellow paper and finally settled on his neck.
Cold, tight, as if someone had choked me.
"So you really are a demon tamer!"
Zhou Zheng was clearly surprised, and even looked at Chu Mo with more vigilance.
It's already surprising that an ordinary high school senior could know about the paranormal world, let alone someone who could control a ghost.
"Zhou Zheng, now is not the time to talk about this."
Chu Mo glanced at the other person, but his eyes were a lifeless gray.
Zhou Zheng's expression hardened, and he understood that the situation was special, so he wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
He unbuttoned his trench coat, revealing his bulging belly underneath.
The skin and flesh on his stomach were ulcerated, and there was even something wriggling inside.
"Do you know this ghost's killing pattern?"
Zhou Zheng tentatively asked Chu Mo.
In paranormal events, to deal with ghosts, one must figure out the patterns of their killings.
Otherwise, if you accidentally violate the rules, the only outcome awaiting you will be being mercilessly killed by them.
"It was a knock on the door."
The voice squeezed out of Chu Mo's throat without the slightest hesitation.
However, this was not his original tone; instead, it carried a strange unfamiliarity and numbness.
Chu Mo had already sensed that the ghost he had temporarily acquired was already subtly influencing him, even before it had appeared.
To become like a ghost—this isn't just temporarily acquiring supernatural power; it's clearly a different kind of exploitation.
Like invoking a spirit to possess one's body, one allows a ghost to briefly enter one's body and uses the ghost's supernatural abilities.
"A knocking sound? If so, we just need to make it stop knocking."
With that thought in mind, Zhou Zheng took a step and rushed directly towards the direction of the knocking ghost.
Upon seeing this, Fang Jing immediately shouted, "Quick, if you don't want to die, get out of here with me!"
This shout seemed to trigger a herd mentality, and all the students who still had some sense rushed out of the classroom with Fang Jing.
Yang Jian and Zhang Wei followed behind these people, but they stopped when they passed Chu Mo.
"Brother Chu, if you ask me, there's no need for you to come to this evening study session. You should just run away with us!"
Zhang Wei spoke very quickly, pulling Yang Jian along while also reaching out to pull Chu Mo.
However, the moment he touched Chu Mo's body, he recoiled as if he had been electrocuted.
"Damn, Brother Chu, are you alright? Why are you so cold?"
At this point, one has to admire Zhang Wei's mental fortitude.
Despite the haunted surroundings, this guy still has the nerve to care about Chu Mo here.
However, he was clearly flustered and looked at Yang Jian, unable to make up his mind.
"Are you the same kind of person as that Zhou Zheng?"
Yang Jian remained relatively calm; he could sense that the other party shared the same aura as Zhou Zheng.
"Um."
Chu Mo nodded blankly, then waved his hand, indicating, "This isn't a good place to chat, you guys go first."
Yang Jian nodded in response, then gave Zhang Wei a push.
Staying here now would not only cause trouble for these people, but could even endanger one's own life.
After everyone left the classroom, Chu Mo also began to act.
At this moment, Zhou Zheng had already tackled the knocking ghost to the ground. A bluish-black hand suddenly emerged from the bulging belly and pressed the knocking ghost to the ground.
Unfortunately, this phenomenon lasted for less than two seconds before being interrupted by the strange and muffled knocking sound.
At the same time, large and small livid spots began to appear on Zhou Zheng's body.
"Damn it, this ghost's supernatural power is too strong, I can't hold on much longer..."
Zhou Zheng's face was extremely pale. His already weak body was on the verge of recovery after using the supernatural power of the evil spirit within him.
He understood that this time the odds were against him, and even if he survived, he would be killed by the ghost within him when it revived.
In despair, he took off the GPS-enabled phone hanging from his chest and turned to look at Chu Mo beside him.
But that one glance led him to witness an unbelievable scene.
Chu Mo was standing in the middle of the puddle, completely soaked.
As the water droplets on his body grew faster, the accumulated water spread invisibly and soon enveloped Zhou Zheng and the knocking ghost.
In the floodwaters, occasionally a few pale hands and some women's hair would emerge.
These hands gradually locked onto the knocking ghost as the water accumulated, gripping it tightly and trying to pull it into the water.
Because he was close to the ghost knocking at the door, Zhou Zheng was the one who could best sense the supernatural power of the stagnant water.
Even just touching it can suppress the supernatural forces within you.
The level of supernatural power is on a completely different level.
"This terrifying oppressive force, and all this accumulated water—could it also be a ghost realm?"
Zhou Zheng was completely dumbfounded; he had no idea that the other party also possessed the ability of the Ghost Domain.
However, not only Zhou Zheng was stunned, but Chu Mo was also stunned.
As the power of the vengeful spirit within the talisman materialized, he gradually realized that this was no ordinary vengeful spirit at all.
Instead, it was a vengeful ghost that was later classified as an S-level paranormal event, codenamed Ghost Lake!
Second generation, you're telling me these talismans can only resolve a few simple paranormal events?
Chu Mo stood on the puddles, and his appearance at that moment was exactly the same as the female corpse suppressed by the black coffin at the bottom of Ghost Lake.
However, the supernatural phenomena within the talisman could never truly replicate a real ghost.
Even the waters of Ghost Lake only temporarily restrained the knocking ghost.
"It seems that the supernatural power inherited by the talisman is less than a quarter of the original power. No, strictly speaking, it should only be about 10%."
Chu Mo noticed that the knocking ghost was struggling to break free.
Deep within the stagnant waters of Ghost Lake, the oppressive force gradually weakened with each knock.
The other party was no ordinary vengeful ghost.
He was one of the seven most prominent elders during the Republic of China era.
Even if a ghost is dismembered after death, the remaining ghosts are still ferocious after they are resurrected.
"No, talismans are consumables and can't allow me to rely on the supernatural power of Ghost Lake for long. I have to take this opportunity to deal with the knocking ghost in advance, otherwise this confrontation will be completely meaningless."
Chu Mo's pupils momentarily lost focus.
His consciousness is connecting to the terminal.
The so-called terminal is actually just a holographic panel.
Chu Mo can not only connect to his other selves in other timelines through the panel, but also share memories and abilities.
In less than a breath.
Chu Mo regained his senses.
This time, he directly shared the supernatural phenomena from the first and second generations.
