Chapter 49: The Drunken Bride (Extra Chapter)

~7 min read 1,291 words

At this moment, Zhang Hao, who was following Zhong Shan and the others, also sorted out the current situation.

In the distance, the advancing black light that was attracting them was a product of the Headquarters Laboratory: a white ghost candle.

The Headquarters Laboratory had developed two kinds of ghost candles, red and white.

Last time, at the Caesar Grand Hotel, Yang Jian and the others used the red ghost candle; once lit, it could prevent attacks from fierce ghosts until the candle burned out.

Now this black light is emitted by the white ghost candle; once lit, it can draw fierce ghosts toward the holder of the candle.

"Bride, stop! We'll go find the embroidered shoes."

Trying to make sense of it all, Zhang Hao attempted to make the bride halt; for that, he even mentioned the embroidered shoes, a puzzle piece belonging to the ghost bride.

Unfortunately, faced with the black ghost candle, Zhang Hao himself could barely suppress his instincts, let alone the irrational ghost bride.

"Continuing like this is simply no solution."

"As a fierce ghost, its instinct cannot resist the effect of this harmless functional Ghostly Artifact."

Zhang Hao watched the people marching ahead in the distance, his mind constantly pondering.

Those few advanced quickly; as Ghost Tamers, their physical condition far surpassed that of ordinary people.

If this continued, he and the bride would be forced to keep moving forward with them.

"I don't know if the crying can kill those people; let's try it first."

Zhang Hao stepped forward, grasped the bride's hand, thereby boosting his own supernatural intensity.

"wail!"

The eerie crying began to spread, radiating outward.

To avoid exposure, Zhang Hao had not employed the Ghost Crying Face's supernatural killing while on the road into Dajing City.

But at this moment, Zhang Hao realized he had already been exposed, and immediately abandoned any thoughts of concealment.

The eerie crying spread in all directions, causing everyone who heard it to instantly wear a sorrowful expression.

"Bad, the White Demon has begun Mourning."

Ahead, Zhong Shan heard the eerie crying and immediately looked at Chen Yi and Wang Miao.

"The White Demon's crying can keep stacking; after a while it becomes terrifying."

"To resist this ghostly crying, we can only put ourselves into a temporary deaf state."

Having said that, before the two could react, Zhong Shan made himself deaf first.

Chen Yi and Wang Miao, hearing Zhong Shan's words and the eerie crying, felt something abnormal in their bodies and likewise made themselves deaf.

"wail!"

However, this time differed from the incident in Kui Mu Lin Village, when all the villagers had already perished.

And now this place is Dajing City, the special district where the Headquarters resides.

Leaving aside the population, there are already many people on each defensive line on alert.

The echo of the crying had just begun when Wang Xiaoming and the others in the conference room received the news.

"What? The White Demon has begun Mourning?"

Cao Yanhua's complexion changed slightly: "Quick, inform everyone to stay at least three kilometers away from Zhong Shan's forward path."

It must be said, Cao Yanhua becoming Deputy Minister of the Supernatural Department shows his own power is indeed great.

For ordinary people, the supernatural is lethal; even hearing a faint crying can be enough to kill a normal person.

Therefore, to be safe, Cao Yanhua ordered everyone to stay more than three kilometers away from the route.

Thus, even though supernatural sounds travel farther than normal ones, they can hardly affect those on guard. "Useless?"

Zhang Hao had been Mourning for ten minutes now; although the area is fairly wide, the speed of sound caused the crying to stack to a terrifying level.

Yet, looking far ahead, the black candlelight ahead still burned, moving slowly forward.

"Did you make yourself deaf again like before?"

Zhang Hao knew the Headquarters must have found a countermeasure.

In fact, his Mourning was only to catch the Headquarters off guard, letting the Ghost Tamers ahead holding white ghost candles be killed by the crying.

But he didn't expect that group of Ghost Tamers to react so quickly, as if they had encountered him before.

For a moment, the situation seemed to reach a stalemate.

The Ghost Tamers ahead kept running forward, while Zhang Hao and the ghost bride behind could only chase after them.

Zhang Hao looked ahead, hesitated, and took out a white jade wine jar.

The white jade wine jar could cause fierce ghosts to enter a drunken state; even Zhang Hao and the ghost bride drinking it would achieve the same effect.

Because Zhang Hao did not use the wine to control ghosts, he simply fashioned it into a Supernatural Artifact.

As a cup of blood wine was poured, Zhang Hao handed the blood wine to the bride.

"Bride, drink."

Although the white ghost candle attracted the bride forward, it did not prevent other actions during this time.

The bride heard Zhang Hao, took the cup, placed it under her veil and drank.

After finishing the blood wine, the bride finally ceased moving.

In a drunken state, the bride was like a drunk person; no matter how much you called her, she could not become sober until she sobered up.

Seeing the bride stop, Zhang Hao also suppressed his inner urge to chase the black candlelight.

He was also drawn by the black candlelight, but not to the point where, after sensing the white ghost candle's glow, he felt compelled to go.

He simply belonged to the type that neither pursues nor retreats, just stands still.

After all, the white ghost candle, born together with the red ghost candle, is a Supernatural Artifact with its own limit.

However, since most fierce ghosts lack consciousness, and the white ghost candle's attraction is a harmless supernatural effect for them, fierce ghosts find it hard to resist its lure.

Even though the white ghost candle's supernatural power is weak, it is still a Ghostly Artifact; its attraction is far stronger than the pull a living person triggers under the Killing Rule for fierce ghosts.

In fact, if the paranormal becomes stronger than the white Ghost Candle's paranormal level and possesses its own intelligence, it can suppress this instinct.

Just as a powerful Fierce Ghost can extinguish a Hong Bai Shuang Sha Ghost Candle with a single strike.

Of course, this is also because the white Ghost Candle is only a one‑time Ghostly Artifact.

If the effect comes from a Ghostly Artifact truly forged with a Fierce Ghost, Zhang Hao might not be able to resist, after all his mind still belongs to the Fierce Ghost mode.

When the Black Candlelight emitted by the white Ghost Candle fades further away, Zhang Hao only then looks back at the Ghost Bride.

Having drunk the Blood Wine, the Ghost Bride at this moment is almost unable to move, which is why Zhang Hao did not have the Ghost Bride drink the Blood Wine at the first moment he noticed the white Ghost Candle.

In this situation, Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride can basically not act, after all the Ghost Bride is the Ghost Master and Zhang Hao is only a Ghost Slave.

Fortunately, the Ghost attached to him must rely on the Ghost Bride for resistance; under Ghost Erosion, the Ghost Bride will instinctively oppose the erosion of the Ghost Mourning Clothes.

When the Fierce Ghost within and the Ghost Bride have fought to a certain extent, the paranormal of the Blood Wine will gradually be exhausted in this confrontation.

I originally planned to release the four pages together, but the power was out all afternoon. This extra update can only be posted later.
