We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 35 The Burning Red Incense (Please continue reading)
Before leaving the mysterious world of resurgence, Lu Ming used the Ghost Smiling Face to create a certain balance between himself and the mummified bride who controlled the Ghost Crying Face.

Then Lu Ming arrived at the God Space and added ten points of mental power to the attribute panel.

These ten points of mental energy greatly slowed down the rate at which the supernatural forces were eroding his consciousness.

Therefore, Lu Ming is in a relatively stable state at this moment.

Although the mummified bride is not quite dead, she is only using the Ghost Domain as a deterrent and will not have much impact on Lu Ming.

According to Lu Ming's understanding of the original plot of the Mountain Village Corpse, Chu Renmei has her own consciousness.

In the original timeline, in the end, Chu Renmei was moved by Fa Mao's words and quietly retreated, sparing Fa Mao and Sister Xiaoming's lives.

Since they are conscious, they know fear, know how to weigh the pros and cons, and instinctively want to stay away from beings that are more evil than themselves.

Therefore, Lu Ming had the mummified bride come forward and "moved" Chu Renmei, who wanted to commit the crime.

As for why they didn't try to eliminate Chu Renmei's vengeful ghost through supernatural means...

The reason is also very simple.

Lu Ming's task was to put the bracelet on Chu Renmei's wrist seven days later to remove her resentment.

It's only the first day; there's absolutely no need to resort to supernatural means and confront this vengeful ghost head-on.

Presumably, after today, even if Lu Ming has drunk the water contaminated by resentment, Chu Renmei will no longer cause him any trouble.

"Now I can spend the next six days in peace. As long as that ghost doesn't want to be completely destroyed, it won't come looking for me."

···········
With the supernatural influence of Chu Renmei gone, the surrounding darkness slowly dissipated, the sun appeared on the distant horizon, and the people sleeping in the pickup truck opened their eyes and woke up one after another.

Lu Ming had already returned to the pickup truck, acting as if nothing had happened.

"Huh? It's dawn?"

Wu Lei, who was in the driver's seat, was the first to regain consciousness. He looked at the fuel gauge showing a full tank and the sunlight outside the window, and immediately became alert.

Although there is no evidence to suggest that ghosts do not appear during the day.

But in fact, sunlight can indeed bring people a sense of psychological security.

"We actually slept in the car overnight..."

Upon realizing this, Wu Lei broke out in a cold sweat.

All the wrong decisions I made last night were due to the illusions created by the vengeful ghost.

At this moment, Xia Lili, a quiet girl who hadn't said much, looked back and asked, "Where did Zheng Yaozu go?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lei and Chen Xin realized that one of their five-person team members was missing; Huang Mao had disappeared without a trace.

Wu Lei had a bad feeling. He opened the car door and got out, only to find that the pickup truck was parked on a steep cliff. The mountain road was obviously not properly maintained or repaired, and it was extremely bumpy. If a vehicle was to drive on it, it would fall off the mountain and end up in a fatal accident.

After searching around, Wu Lei finally found the yellow-haired man's body in an open space without any branches to provide cover.

One glance was enough to tell that the blond-haired man was dead beyond any doubt; his body was completely cold.

Wu Lei frowned: "As a second-tier challenger, Zheng Yaozu is unlikely to do something as stupid as getting out of the car in the dark and falling off a mountain to his death. In that case, there is only one possibility... He and Glasses are both affected by the hallucinations of a vengeful ghost."

After realizing this, Wu Lei felt a chill run down his spine.

Such vengeful spirits, capable of manipulating people's minds, are often the most terrifying, and even his Buddhist seals cannot dispel them.

Most importantly, these challengers clearly did not participate in the spirit communication game, nor did they drink the basin of blood, yet they were still being hunted down by the vengeful ghost.

···········
With the roar of the engine, the pickup truck started up again on the mountain road.

However, this time the atmosphere among them was more oppressive than the previous simple silence. As the only third-tier challenger in the team, Wu Lei was undoubtedly under immense pressure.

What happened last night must never happen again.

Otherwise, one of them will be the next to die.

After an unknown amount of time, the pickup truck finally drove out of the remote mountain area, and tall buildings symbolizing the city appeared outside the window.

Wu Lei stopped the car, took out a red incense stick, lit it, and waited silently.

Chen Xin asked in confusion, "Is this incense an item that can be redeemed in the God's Shop? What is its purpose?"

Wu Lei nodded and explained, "If the incense can be lit, it means we are not being affected by the supernatural. Otherwise, it means there are ghosts around. Although it can't ward off evil spirits, it can at least give us some peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin and Xia Lili didn't react much, but Lu Ming became interested.

Is this incense really that sinister?

He wanted to see if Wu Lei's incense could sense the supernatural presence on his body.

Upon thinking of this, the mummified bride appeared in the ghost realm in a way invisible to the naked eye, holding hands with Lu Ming and sitting quietly to the side.

Although no one realized what the problem was, a chilling feeling began to send shivers down everyone's spine.

Even Wu Lei's hand, which was lighting the red incense, trembled involuntarily.

If everything last night was an illusion, then they are likely still in that illusion and haven't escaped it yet.

The thought of becoming a plaything in the hands of a vengeful ghost sent chills down their spines.

Snapped!
Flames shot out, igniting the red incense.

Wisps of smoke drifted from the incense stick and blended into the air.

Upon seeing this, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

The incense was lit, and there were no ghosts around.

Unbeknownst to them, Lu Ming chuckled silently in a corner.

Despite the eerie description given by Wu Lei, Hong Xiang failed to discover the existence of the mummified bride.

It could be because the vengeful spirits in the mysterious resurgence are two different forms of existence from the regular vengeful spirits; the former is more like a rule, while the latter is a vengeful ghost.

Either the red incense itself and the mummified bride are not even in the same league.

Just like Wu Lei's Buddhist seal, it's effective against some low-level ghosts, but it's useless against real vengeful spirits.

"I didn't expect the gap between these low-level challengers and me to be so huge. I need to try to make contact with high-level challengers to see if they can pose a threat to me."

Lu Ming stopped using supernatural abilities, and this thought arose in his mind.

He was not arrogant or complacent.

Putting aside the fact that his vengeful spirit is not completely dead, there are still so many terrifying beings in the mysterious resurrection.

In the God Realm alone, the high-level challengers who have been selected through multiple rounds of horror movie-style enhancements are certainly not simple.

Only a Tier 3 challenger like Wu Lei is qualified to exchange items in the God's Shop; this only marks the beginning of his journey past the beginner stage.
