Chapter 29 A Glimmer of Hope
The supernatural power of the burning ghost and the supernatural power of the ghost haze erupted simultaneously on him, and the sick ghost in his body was stimulated to completely recover.
However, the supernatural powers of the ghostly haze and the burning ghost prevented the sick ghost from killing Sun Rui, so he remained alive.
As the surrounding environment changed, Sun Rui realized that he was still inside the well.
"The ghostly haze can't suppress the burning ghosts!" Sun Rui felt the flames on his body reaching his chest.
The ghost haze is slowly being expelled from his body. When the ghost haze completely abandons his body, Sun Rui's death will be imminent.
The next moment, a terrifying coughing sound rang out; this time, it was the most powerful disease demon Sun Rui had ever used.
The sick ghost is now in a state of complete recovery.
The ghost's cough echoed in the well, and the flames on its body began to flicker as if blown by the wind, but they never went out.
Even a fully recovered sick ghost and a ghostly haze cannot suppress the supernatural power of the burned ghost.
"Looks like we have no choice but to use our trump card!"
Sun Rui stared at the body bag floating on the water; he still had the supernatural items he had obtained last time that he hadn't used.
"There's only one piece of ghost money. No matter which vengeful ghost you give it to, you'll end up being killed by the other two." Sun Rui opened the body bag, inside which was a love lock and a piece of colorful paper money.
He was actually gambling that restarting the love lock would get rid of these two vengeful ghosts, but he had no other choice now.
Just as he was about to pull the love lock, a black letter floating on the water, slightly curled from burning, caught his attention.
"How could that be! When did the letter go out!" Sun Rui said.
Sun Rui didn't know the consequences if the Ghost Post Office's guide wasn't fully summoned, because everyone who had encountered this situation had died.
A faint path appeared in the distance, but it ended there, and the illusory ghost post office at its end vanished, leaving only darkness.
Sun Rui was unaware of this situation, but he could sense that the broken path led to a supernatural place, though he didn't know exactly where.
Then the view at the end slowly came into view; it was a hotel with the words "Caesars Hotel" written on it in large characters.
The hotel's style is not modern, but rather that of the Republic of China era. It has six floors, with off-white exterior walls. Some floors have been covered with a layer of smoky gray, and parts of the walls reveal dark brown bricks.
The windows on the building's exterior are painted on and are not real; it seems the owner didn't want anything inside to escape.
"This is definitely not the hotel in reality!" Sun Rui felt a strange sense of danger as the hotel appeared.
The real-life Caesars Hotel is a normal hotel, but there is a haunted passage on its fourth floor that connects to the real Caesars Hotel.
"Damn it! This lock is impossible to open." Sun Rui tried to open the love lock, but no matter what he did, he couldn't open it, as if something was suppressing the release of a curse.
At that moment, Sun Rui saw a tall figure slowly walking down the path.
As the figure drew closer, Sun Rui could finally see clearly that the tall figure was covered in black bodily fluids and was holding a rusty woodcutter's knife.
"Are you kidding me!"
Sun Rui recognized the corpse; it was Li Qingzhi, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China! Moreover, it seemed to possess some consciousness.
The machete in the male corpse's hand could dismember supernatural beings, but Sun Rui dared not touch it. Doing so would trigger the killing pattern of this tall male corpse. With just one cut, Sun Rui would surely die. Even an alien would not dare to take a cut.
"Can ghost money make him leave?" Sun Rui's expression was uncertain. He suspected that Li Qingzhi had suppressed the release of the love lock curse.
The current blood corpse is no longer capable of suppressing a vengeful ghost. It could be either the ghost on its body or Li Qingzhi... Of course, there is also the worst-case scenario: there is no suitable target to release the curse, but the possibility is very low.
"Cough cough cough..."
Sun Rui frantically used the abilities of the sick ghost, but to no avail. The tall male corpse did not even pause its steps. Instead, the flames on its body diminished, and the ghostly haze was constantly dispersed and then reassembled.
He couldn't care less about anything else now. He would accept being killed by the disease demon after surviving, but the disease demon inside him was slowly fading away.
Sun Rui then realized that the ghostly presence of the burning ghost had spread to his neck.
The ghostly haze was almost completely at a disadvantage and had no way to resist the burning ghosts.
Finally, Sun Rui completely lost consciousness.
he died.
In the final moment, the tall male corpse seemed to glance at him.
Sun Rui's death did not stop anything; he burst into flames, and the ghostly haze was completely expelled from Sun Rui's body.
The tall male corpse walked to the end of the path, but did not step into the real world. He raised the hand holding the woodcutter's knife and slashed at Sun Rui's side.
The flames on Sun Rui's body went out in an instant, but sparks remained, and the fire would reignite after a while.
After the tall male corpse finished doing all this, he turned and left, and the path gradually disappeared.
A short while later, the supernatural suppression of Sun Rui disappeared, and the ghostly haze rushed into Sun Rui's body again, trying to take control of the corpse. This time it went smoothly without any hindrance.
There are now three ghosts inside Sun Rui's corpse: Ghost Haze, the silent sick ghost, and some of the ghosts who died from being burned.
After an unknown amount of time, Sun Rui's corpse began to move. This was not because he had come back to life, but because the ghost inside his body was controlling him.
The sparks on the corpse turned into tiny flames, and the suppressive effect of the machete dismemberment was almost gone.
In an instant, the body disappeared from the well and reappeared on the scorched earth.
The crowd gathered around the well were quite surprised to see Sun Rui suddenly appear.
"Sun Rui?" Zhong Hang asked tentatively.
Without any response, the smog that had briefly disappeared reappeared, this time emanating from Sun Rui's body.
"What's going on?" Qin Qiuyun asked.
"He seems to be dead..." Zhong Hang said, trembling.
He could see that Sun Ruilu's skin was covered with lividity.
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, flames burst forth from Sun Rui's body, and the thick smog turned into a thin mist.
A villager who was nearby was instantly set ablaze, his entire body engulfed in flames. Unlike before, when people turned to ashes immediately, he slowly began to move.
"Don't come near me! Don't come any closer!"
The group scrambled away from the villager they had just encountered.
In just a second or two, several people were set on fire. They all died and were turned into ghost slaves.
"Let's go!" Zhong Hang said in a low voice.
Sun Rui is dead; now they can only rely on themselves.
The three of them quickly moved away from the location of the ancestral hall.
Along the way, they saw some people who were not set on fire but seemed lost, wandering around in circles, as if they were hallucinating.
The three were lucky enough to leave the vicinity of the ancestral hall, but they kept wandering on the scorched earth, unable to get out.
Meanwhile, the flames on Sun Rui's body flickered intermittently, and the ghostly mist would occasionally seep out of his body, only to be suppressed by the flames again, alternating like this.
I don't know how much time has passed.
A faint cell phone ringtone sounded in the village. It was Sun Rui's satellite-guided cell phone, but the caller was in vain. The villagers dared not approach Sun Rui now, let alone answer the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone quickly stopped making the call, received a text message, and the screen lit up:
[A starving ghost incident has broken out in Dachang City. Go there immediately.]
