LRAB Chapter 110 Heading to Taiping City
Chapter 110 Heading to Taiping City
"Make a decision as soon as possible, my time is limited," Lin Youzhi said.
"I agree to go to the Heaven and Earth Bank, but you must tell me a way out of the Ghost Painting," Sun Rui said.
He knew that the ghost painting was not a closed space, and that each derived ghost painting was an exit.
However, ordinary ghost tamers simply cannot locate these exits.
Unless you entered through these derivative ghost paintings and left a mark there.
"No problem. You want to tell your companions about this, right? I didn't expect someone as suspicious as you to go to such lengths," Lin Youzhi said.
"This is none of your business. Our transaction is proceeding normally," Sun Rui said.
Lin Youzhi nodded, and then her body suddenly became even paler.
"Alright, I've already informed them. I'll send you out soon. Remember to complete our transaction," Lin Youzhi said.
Sun Rui nodded.
Then he felt his surroundings distorting, and the ghostly realm of the ghost painting was disappearing.
He successfully escaped.
The border between Dajing City and Dahe City.
Sun Rui stumbled and landed on the ground.
At this moment, he looked closely and saw that the area covered by the ghost painting was so vast that he couldn't see the end of it at all.
In the present-day Dajing City, three vengeful spirits coexist: the Hungry Ghost, the Ghost Messenger, and the Ghost Painting.
"We have no choice but to leave now," Sun Rui said.
But he suddenly realized that something was wrong with him; the resurgence of the ghostly haze seemed to be suppressed.
"What's going on?" Sun Rui asked, puzzled.
Then he noticed that his hands were stained with some black paint.
Then he suddenly remembered some words, which seemed to have been said to him by Lin Youzhi before he disappeared.
"Complete our deal. This black pigment can temporarily suppress the resurgence of the vengeful ghost within you, but it's not permanent. The pigment will slowly deplete, and you will die instantly. Believe me, those supernatural items on you won't be able to stop it."
These are Lin Youzhi's original words.
"So, if soft tactics don't work, we'll resort to hard ones," Sun Rui thought.
Of course, Lin Youzhi also left another message: going to the Heaven and Earth Bank could solve the problem of his own resurrection as a vengeful ghost.
This is like a carrot and a stick.
"It seems that Tiandi Qianzhuang is really important to her," Sun Rui thought to himself.
He took out the colorful three-yuan ghost coin from the gold body bag.
After examining it closely for a while, I noticed that the patterns drawn on it were crooked and looked quite eerie.
But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the things on it seemed to be painted with paint.
"So, is Lin Youzhi the owner of the Heaven and Earth Bank? Or does the Heaven and Earth Bank need that kind of supernatural pigment to keep operating?" Sun Rui guessed.
Perhaps the problems at Tiandi Money Shop were related to Lin Youzhi's death.
"Wait a minute... When we were at the gray brick apartment, Lin Youzhi said he was going to see an old friend. Who could it be?" Sun Rui frowned.
However, judging from Lin Youzhi's tone at the time, it seemed that the person was already dead.
Sun Rui suspected that Lin Youzhi's visit to see his old friend was not a simple reunion.
Perhaps he sought out that so-called old friend for help.
Since the person had died, they had no choice but to target him.
"What could her purpose be? She actually needs to ask a ghost tamer from the Republican era, and the fact that she went to find him proves that Lin Youzhi was confident that the person could live to this era, even though he died prematurely."
Sun Rui thought about it more and more and felt that Lin Youzhi's invitation to Tiandi Money Shop was part of a big conspiracy.
"Is it resurrection or something else?" Sun Rui frowned.
Previously in the gray brick apartment, Lin Youzhi mentioned that he wanted to revive her.
Sun Rui couldn't tell whether Lin Youzhi was blind to what was happening under the lamp or simply mentioned it casually.
"Damn it, these ghost-controlling masters from the Republican era are all incredibly cunning," Sun Rui cursed under his breath.
Is it really that fun to be a riddle solver every day?
Sun Rui let out a breath and left.
He had no intention of breaking the contract. Since Lin Youzhi wanted him to go to Tiandi Money House so badly, he certainly wouldn't let him go easily.
Now he urgently needs to solve the problem of the resurrection of the vengeful ghost, so he might as well take a gamble.
This time, he doesn't intend to trade with the Ghost Chef. The cost of trading with the Ghost Chef now would be terrifying.
Moreover, if he uses the same bug-exploiting method as before, he might attract the attention of Ghost Cabinet.
"Go back to Dahan City and make some preparations."
In less than a day, Sun Rui finally boarded a plane back to Dahan City.
It wasn't that he deliberately wasted time, but rather that flights in various locations were experiencing disruptions.
On that day, he discovered that the internet was flooded with discussions about the haunting of Dajing City.
Moreover, this phenomenon is impossible to stop. The headquarters has already fallen, and it is too difficult to suppress these messages by relying solely on the forces in various regions.
The important thing isn't that, but rather that Sun Rui learned from some ghost-taming forums that some overseas ghost-taming organizations have already extended their reach into the area.
They want to take advantage of the weakened state of their Asian headquarters to stir up more trouble.
"These are turbulent times," Sun Rui sighed softly.
After a journey of about 6 hours, his plane landed safely in Daehan City.
Without doing anything unnecessary, Sun Rui went straight to his Donghan Building.
The most important thing is to take that blank ghost painting and then go to Daping City to enter the Tiandi Money Shop.
Upon entering Dahan City, Sun Rui encountered two familiar faces.
Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun.
"Sun Rui, how's the situation in Dajing City?" Li Jun asked.
"The situation is bad. There are currently three vengeful ghosts in Dajing City, two of which are S-level," Sun Rui said.
"Why are you the only one here? Where are the others? Did they all die in some supernatural event?" Li Jun asked.
"I don't know. He might be dealing with a paranormal event, he might be dead, or he might have already returned to the city he's in charge of," Sun Rui said.
He was genuinely unaware of Yang Jian's situation.
In the past, these managers communicated with each other through headquarters.
Now that the headquarters is paralyzed, communication between different locations is essentially cut off.
"You've lost contact with them?" Wang Xiaoming asked at this moment.
"After you left, the ghost in the coffin was released..."
Sun Rui quickly explained to the two of them.
"...Originally, we planned to temporarily evacuate because everyone's condition wasn't very good at the time. But we encountered Zhao Kaiming on the way, and finally managed to imprison Zhao Kaiming and the ghosts around him by luring the ghost painting," Sun Rui said.
"So you really do know the murder patterns of Ghost Painting," Wang Xiaoming said.
"It was just a lucky piece of information," Sun Rui said.
Wang Xiaoming nodded and did not press the matter regarding the ghost drawing.
"So what are you planning to do next?"
"I need to resolve some personal issues and am temporarily unable to participate in the operations in Dajing City. As for what you're going to do, that's neither my concern nor my concern," Sun Rui said.
"Okay, I understand. Do you need my help?" Wang Xiaoming asked, adjusting his glasses.
Sun Rui shook his head.
"Alright, until we meet again."
After Wang Xiaoming finished speaking, he left the Donghan Building with Li Jun.
They still needed to go and get reinforcements, and Wang Xiaoming already had a preliminary plan in mind.
However, he didn't tell anyone.
Sun Rui was too lazy to think about what Wang Xiaoming was trying to do; solving his own problems was the most important thing.
Soon, he left the Donghan Building with the blank ghost painting wrapped in gold.
Dahei City is not far from Daehan City; it takes about three or four hours to get there by car.
