Chapter 220: Entering The Ghost Painting
“Ready.”
In Da Jiang City, Wang Xiao Ming checked the time.
Ten minutes had already passed since just now.
Wang Xiao Ming nodded.
Li Jun brought over a pair of specially made gloves.
Wang Xiao Ming took them and put them on.
Then Li Jun unbuttoned his clothes.
Xu Zhou saw this and suddenly realized something.
“A door opens from the body?”
Looking at the tattoo painting of Ping An Mansion on Li Jun’s body.
Xu Zhou realized that he might enter Ping An Mansion.
“This is the only way, and only this way can locate the position of the Ghost Painting.”
Li Jun handed the door handle to Wang Xiao Ming.
Wang Xiao Ming held the door handle and carefully aligned it with a door on the Ping An Mansion on Li Jun’s body.
Then he directly installed it.
Li Jun’s eyes narrowed slightly; the supernatural nature of the door handle seemed to cause some harm to his body.
Ghost Fire showed signs of emerging, but he suppressed it firmly.
Click.
The door handle turned, the medium took effect, and the door opened.
“Now!”
As the door opened, a rotten stench mixed with gunpowder smell emanated from inside the door.
Xu Zhou didn’t hesitate and directly entered this door that shouldn’t exist.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the door.
Seeing Xu Zhou enter, Wang Xiao Ming instantly closed the door.
There was no ghost inside the door, no resistance, and it was easily closed by him, an ordinary person.
The door handle was quickly removed.
Then Wang Xiao Ming hurriedly looked at the painting on Li Jun’s body.
Surprisingly, a little figure had appeared in Ping An Mansion.
The little figure was moving, but not in real time.
It was Xu Zhou; that was confirmed.
Wang Xiao Ming took out his mobile phone and waited.
He expected the thing he researched to play a role in a supernatural event of the Ghost Painting’s level.
Li Jun was calming the supernatural on his body.
Inside the Ghost Painting.
In the dilapidated, decayed mansion.
Xu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and adapted to the dim environment ahead.
Broken glass, peeling wall plaster, black ceiling.
Exposed rebar around, a decaying aura emanating.
It was clearly an apocalyptic scene.
Xu Zhou looked around and calmly took out his mobile phone to check.
Beep beep~!
“Professor Wang?”
“Here!”
The instant reply filled Xu Zhou with a sense of security.
Looking at the full signal bars, Xu Zhou slowly grinned.
“Professor Wang, the thing you invented is quite useful.”
Outside, Wang Xiao Ming suddenly burst into laughter:
“It works, it really works!”
Li Jun was also somewhat excited.
Real-time communication inside the Ghost Painting—what that meant was self-evident.
Beep beep~!
A voice message popped up.
Wang Xiao Ming quickly answered.
“Professor Wang, can you hear me?”
“Yes, very clear.”
“Good. Currently, I’m inside Ping An Mansion. My Ghost Domain is suppressed and can’t be used.”
“Normal. The Ghost Painting’s suppression of Ghost Domains has extremely high priority.”
“On this side, I recommend you briefly control the ghost I gave you.”
Inside the Ghost Painting, a severed hand on Xu Zhou’s hand was slowly merging into his body.
“Already controlling.”
Sparks began to emerge from his body, faint green sparks slowly appearing, then rapidly spreading around.
“Ghost Domain opened successfully.”
“Guo Fan’s position is roughly at the place where Headquarters previously stored supernatural items.”
Xu Zhou nodded. “Understood.”
“I’ll go find Guo Fan’s corpse first.”
“Okay.”
Li Jun’s severed arm, with a portion of Ghost Fire split from it, wasn’t very strong but was just enough to open a Ghost Domain.
This Ghost Domain wasn’t for fighting but for convenient travel.
Xu Zhou used the Ghost Domain to directly leave Ping An Mansion.
“According to estimates, the Ghost Messenger’s position will be near Headquarters.”
The Ghost Painting was gray and hazy, paper ash drifting down, the world dim and foggy, like being in a dream with constant mist around.
Xu Zhou hovered in the air, overlooking Da Jing City.
Da Jing City, where Headquarters was located, had been drawn into the Ghost Painting. To find it, one could only use the painting on Li Jun’s body or trigger the Ghost Painting’s killing pattern to enter.
At this moment inside the Ghost Painting, there were estimated to be only four ghosts according to predictions.
What a terrifying thing that was?
Xu Zhou overlooked Da Jing City.
The desolate, ruined scene let Xu Zhou once again know the terror of the supernatural.
The entire Da Jing City was very clean—no ghosts, not even corpses could be seen.
Suddenly, Xu Zhou seemed to see something.
“I think I saw the Starving Ghost.”
“Skin bluish-black, wearing an International Police uniform, sitting in a guard booth at a school.”
“There are many Third Stage Starving Ghosts and second-stage Ghost Infants inside the school.”
“Currently, they seem to be restricted by something.”
Xu Zhou reported exactly what he saw.
“Belly not big?”
Wang Xiao Ming asked.
“Yeah, no big belly.”
“The form may have changed. Don’t try to get close; this restriction isn’t absolute.”
“Understood.”
Xu Zhou’s gaze shifted, and soon he saw another abnormality.
“I saw a village overlapping with the Headquarters Building.”
Wang Xiao Ming’s eyes lit up. “The Ghost Messenger is inside.”
“Go find Guo Fan first. Once found, enter quickly. Wei Jing is easy to recognize—he’s the one hanging and playing Sunny Doll.”
Xu Zhou’s eyes flashed. “Understood.”
Then his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared at the place where Headquarters previously stored supernatural items.
Based on the map and explanations from Wang Xiao Ming and Li Jun, he knew how to enter that place.
After finding the door leading underground, he quickly went down.
Underground was even dimmer than outside.
Almost pitch black, unable to see one’s hand in front of one’s face.
But for a Ghost Controller like him, darkness could no longer affect him.
In his eyes, it was bright as day.
Knowing no fierce ghosts existed here, he moved quickly.
Hurrying down the stairs.
If not for the underground being covered in gold, he would have used Ghost Domain Invasion long ago.
“Here.”
Xu Zhou suddenly stopped; a tightly closed door stood before him.
The door was pitted, covered in nail scratches.
The scarred door—unknown what had happened before.
Xu Zhou went up and pushed, finding it locked from the inside.
“The door is locked from the inside.”
Xu Zhou said.
“Probably done by Guo Fan.”
“He was very smart and found a safe place.”
Xu Zhou flexed his wrist and checked the surroundings.
“The noise next will be quite loud.”
“Be careful; that ghost is very smart.”
“Understood.”
His fist smashed into the door without warning.
A loud bang echoed.
The door dented inward directly.
Xu Zhou was stunned—one punch didn’t go through?
“This door is mixed with special alloy, very tough.”
Wang Xiao Ming could tell from the sound that Xu Zhou’s punch hadn’t broken through the door.
“I see, it’s indeed hard.”
Bang~!
Another punch.
This time, the door was punched through.
At this moment.
