Chapter 48: White Ghost Candle

"Red and White Double Evil?"

Wang Xiaoming's face showed a thoughtful expression; he seemed to have thought of something.

"Are there any photos of the Red and White Double Evil appearing in Dajing City?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

"No, wherever the Red and White Double Evil has been, the cameras have been corrupted by the paranormal," Chen Yi shook his head.

"If it weren't for this reason, we wouldn't have let the Red and White Double Evil get so close to Headquarters."

"Alright, I understand," Wang Xiaoming nodded.

"Cao Minister, please have someone open the images of the Red and White Double Evil from the live broadcast period."

Soon, under Cao Yanhua's arrangement, the relevant footage appeared on the conference room's projector.

It was a muddy mountain path; in the photo, the White Evil knelt atop the Red Coffin, while the Red Evil knelt inside the White Sedan.

At the same time, the photo also showed a Coffin Bearer dressed in Funeral Clothes and a mourning servant kneeling in tribute. "Everyone, look closely: besides the Red and White Double Evil, there are many other people; I suspect those are the Ghost Slaves of the Red and White Double Evil,"

"However, what we need to focus on is not this, but the coffin the White Evil is riding in."

Feng Quan's eyes widened: "Professor Wang, if I recall correctly, the Ghostly Servant's coffin is also red, right?"

Wang Xiaoming nodded: "That's right; everyone should have noticed a feature: the Ghostly Servant emerged from a Ghost Coffin."

"The Red and White Double Evil, without any Ghost Tamer interference, evolved this formation on its own."

Speaking of that, Wang Xiaoming's tone grew solemn.

"According to the intelligence on Fierce Ghosts uncovered by my laboratory, there is a rule between Fierce Ghosts that I have named 'Puzzle'."

"A Puzzle represents a rule of mutual control between two ghosts."

"When the Killing Rules of two ghosts are similar, or complementary, those two ghosts can be considered a Puzzle."

"Moreover, aside from that, there are many Puzzles that can pair with any Fierce Ghost."

"For example, Jiang Shangbai, the funeral robe you wear can be considered a Puzzle for any Fierce Ghost that possesses a body."

Hearing this, Jiang Shangbai narrowed his eyes.

In fact, he also knew this intelligence; many of Headquarters' research findings cannot escape the ears of the Friends Circle.

"Of course, beyond that, Fierce Ghosts are also full of uncertainties; for instance, they may not need similar Killing Rules."

"A bodyless Fierce Ghost will instinctively seek other-part Fierce Ghosts as its Puzzle."

"The current Red and White Double Evil is undoubtedly searching for a coffin and a flower sedan chair, and the Ghostly Servant's coffin happens to meet their requirements."

Wang Xiaoming's words caused many people to show astonishment.

Although most of the Ghost Tamers present have mastered two ghosts, not everyone knows this information.

Some people unintentionally mastered a second ghost, while others did so with the help of Wang Xiaoming's Laboratory.

"Professor Wang, based on what you said, shouldn't we now prevent the Red and White Double Evil from contacting the Ghostly Servant?" Feng Quan asked.

"We should avoid any contact between the two ghosts; the Ghostly Servant can suppress Fierce Ghosts and increase the Suppression Quota. If he contacts the Red and White Double Evil, which can summon ghosts, the consequences are obvious."

Wang Xiaoming spoke firmly: the Ghost Bride can summon Fierce Ghosts, and the Ghostly Servant can suppress Fierce Ghosts.

If the Ghost Bride continuously summons Fierce Ghosts while the Ghostly Servant grows by suppressing Fierce Ghosts, no one can determine how far the Ghostly Servant's Terror Level will ultimately rise.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Zhang Hao still did not know that he had already been exposed.

He was, based on the intelligence obtained from Hao Zhang, quickly moving with the Ghost Bride toward the Ghost Tamer Training Base. It must be said, the Headquarters' location is truly far from the city.

If it weren't for the intelligence route obtained by Hao Zhang, Zhang Hao might never have found Headquarters.

As he advanced, Zhang Hao could now see a deep darkness in the distant sky.

"That must be the Ghostly Servant's current location,"

Zhang Hao squinted; honestly, he didn't really want to encounter the Ghostly Servant.

The Ghostly Servant's uncertainties are too many; Zhang Hao cannot determine what will happen after he contacts it.

If his and the Ghost Bride's Suppression Quota fail to meet the Ghostly Servant's requirements, perhaps they will be suppressed by the Ghostly Servant.

Moreover, more importantly, the Ghostly Servant is not a pure Fierce Ghost; it possesses a portion of a living person's memories.

Although only a part, it makes the Ghostly Servant more bizarre and more capricious than other Fierce Ghosts.

This can be seen when the Ghostly Servant's Fierce Ghost count exceeds its own during Yang Jian's group.

A normal Fierce Ghost, under conditions that do not satisfy its own Killing Rule, should no longer attack Yang Jian's group.

But the Ghostly Servant? It actually began using a ghost rope, trying to pull a Ghost Tamer out of Yang Jian's team alone to satisfy the 'isolated certain death' Killing Rule.

"We should first go find the Ghost Coffin; after we find the Ghost Coffin, we can deal with the Ghostly Servant later,"

Zhang Hao pondered and decided to bypass the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain with the Bride.

Although Hao Zhang had only stayed at the Ghost Tamer Training Base for a day and could not know the Ghostly Servant's exact location, he could still inquire about Wang Xiaoming's Laboratory.

However, just as Zhang Hao was about to bypass the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain, a sudden flash of light caught the eyes of Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride.

Calling it a flash of light is somewhat inaccurate; it was a black glow, more like a darkness deeper than night.

Looking at that glow, for some reason, Zhang Hao felt a strong urge to approach.

That feeling even surpassed the impulse when facing a Puzzle.

It wasn't just Zhang Hao; the Ghost Bride felt the same.

While Zhang Hao was still trying to suppress this impulse, the Ghost Bride had already acted first.

Sensing the Ghost Bride's movement, Zhang Hao could only choose to follow her.

"Success, the White Ghost Candle successfully attracted the Red and White Double Evil's attention,"

In the distance, unseen, someone was looking here through a telescope.

"Success?" Wang Xiaoming said, his face rarely showing a hint of a smile.

This is perhaps one of the few pieces of good news among the many bad ones.

It was like giving the demoralized Headquarters a dose of a heartening tonic, so people no longer felt so hesitant.

"Zhong Shan, Wang Miao, He Chuan, your self‑preservation abilities are all decent; be sure not to make direct contact with that Ghost."

"Red and White Double Evil have no Ghost Domain; as long as you keep your current speed, they won't catch up to you in the short term."

Although the first step of the plan to lure away the Red and White Double Evil with a Ghost Candle has succeeded, the true goal is still far away.

Therefore Wang Xiaoming had to remind them.

"Professor Wang, rest assured, we won't gamble with our own lives," Zhong Shan replied.
