Chapter 100 The Scope of the Ghost Realm
As soon as Sun Rui got his hands on the human skin lantern, he felt a chilling aura.
The lantern has a handle made of white bone.
The connection between the handle and the lantern was made of an old straw rope, haphazardly tied in a knot.
The entire lantern was supported by a frame. Sun Rui took a closer look and realized that it was probably made of human finger bones pieced together.
He touched the lantern's skin, and the feeling was unmistakable—it was human skin.
The entire interior of the lantern is hollow, without the lamp base found in ordinary lanterns.
"I'm going to try to relight this lantern. If anything goes wrong, stop me immediately," Sun Rui said.
He could sense that even without the will-o'-the-wisp inside, this thing was still a vengeful ghost.
The group nodded and got ready.
Sun Rui gripped the handle with one hand, and the black mud on his hand slowly enveloped the entire human skin lantern along the handle.
The soil seeped into the gaps above the lantern.
The lantern, which was originally hollow, encountered resistance after Sun Rui's soil spread inside.
The next moment, Sun Rui directly ignited the flames of the burning ghost.
The entire human skin lantern was engulfed in blood-red flames, and within the raging fire, a distorted human face could be seen.
The burning ghost controlled by Sun Rui would not have this abnormality.
"As expected, any supernatural item that can be sealed by headquarters is extraordinary," Sun Rui thought to himself.
The next moment, he withdrew the black soil.
However, during this process, he felt a resistance, and some of the black soil was left inside the lantern.
"Interesting... Can it preserve my supernatural powers?" Sun Rui thought to himself.
The burning ghost he was controlling was not complete; he had tried it before, and the black mud could not last long and would soon dissipate.
"Did it work, Sun Rui?" Yang Jian asked.
Sun Rui nodded: "There shouldn't be any problem, but we don't know what this thing's capabilities are yet."
As he was speaking, a clump of black soil inside the lantern burst into a blood-red flame.
The next moment, the dense darkness around them was forced back, and everyone was enveloped in blood-red flames.
"It can actually be ignited, but didn't the vice minister say that this thing used to have a ghost domain? I don't feel the existence of the ghost domain now." Cao Yang looked at this scene in surprise.
He didn't know what would happen after the ghostly spirit of the burning ghost entered the human skin lantern.
The flames of the burning ghost were originally capable of causing people to feel an astonishingly high temperature.
However, the flame inside the human skin lantern did not give him that feeling; it only dispelled the darkness within a radius of about 3 meters.
"Perhaps it's because the original will-o'-the-wisp was a vengeful ghost, and what I have is just the supernatural power of that vengeful ghost, not a ghost itself," Sun Rui guessed.
At this moment, Zhao Lei, who had been silent, said, "Did you guys feel it? There was always a faint smell around before, but it disappeared after these lanterns were lit."
"Just like you said, I also smelled some scent before, a feeling that's hard to describe, but it's really gone now," Cao Yang said after thinking carefully.
"Can a relit lantern block out the influence of supernatural forces to a certain extent?" Yang Jian asked, offering his speculation.
"That's possible," Sun Rui nodded.
The human skin lantern had only been lit for less than 30 seconds when the flame began to gradually die out.
Sun Rui picked up the lantern and saw that much of the black soil inside had been removed.
"It seems this stuff needs to be replenished frequently," Sun Rui said.
"If it really is as you guessed, and can be replenished at any time, then it's a very powerful supernatural item," Cao Yang exclaimed.
Sun Rui thought about it and agreed. It was just a temporary remedy, and it was already quite good that it had achieved this effect.
He then added some more black soil, keeping the flame burning to block out the strange smell.
"Let's use supernatural items directly and find the location of the ghost messengers as soon as possible," Sun Rui said.
He held the human skin lantern in his hand, not returning it to Zhao Lei, because he needed to replenish the black mud frequently, and having it in his own hands was the best option.
"Okay." Yang Jian nodded.
He took out the worn-out fountain pen and then pulled a piece of paper from his pocket.
The headless ghostly figure behind Yang Jian stood up and merged into his body.
The next moment, blood flowed from Yang Jian's wrist, mingling with the pen.
He immediately began writing down his questions on the paper.
Is the ghost messenger positioned directly in front of me?
After he finished writing a sentence, the pen didn't fall apart. It wasn't because he was lucky, but because if you looked closely, you could see a ghostly shadow tightly enveloping the pen.
Even if a fountain pen wanted to fall apart, it would be almost impossible.
This was a method he had considered when he made his selection.
Before this, he had suspected that the so-called supernatural items were likely made by vengeful ghosts using special methods.
The pen falling apart is very likely the killing pattern of the vengeful ghost, and since the ghostly figure can suppress the vengeful ghost, it can naturally prevent the pen from falling apart easily.
Shortly after he asked the question, his hand holding the pen moved involuntarily.
To be precise, the pen started moving, causing his hand to move, as if he were writing.
【no】
This pen provided the answer.
The ghost messenger was not in the direction Yang Jian had mentioned.
Yang Jian did not stop asking his questions, but continued writing on the paper.
He didn't find the location of the ghost messenger until he asked the third question.
"Found them. The ghost messengers are to my right front. Don't resist. I'll use my ghost domain to take you there," Yang Jian said.
The location of the ghost messengers can change at any time, so utilizing the ghost realm is the best way to deal with it.
A red light spread out, staining the surrounding environment red. The next moment, the four people disappeared from the spot.
Soon, the red light disappeared, and the group could see their surroundings clearly.
Before them lay a village, with three large characters written on a sign by the roadside.
Huanggang Village!
"I've read the files related to ghost messengers. Why is Huanggang Village located here?" Cao Yang asked.
"I don't know." Yang Jian shook his head.
He was able to survive the Huanggang Village incident by taking shortcuts, and he didn't know why.
"Yang Jian, how far have we walked?" Sun Rui asked after a moment of silence.
He was pondering a question: Just how vast is the ghost realm of the ghost messengers?
"About 10 kilometers," Yang Jian replied.
"How can it be so big?" Sun Rui frowned. In his memory, even when the ghost messengers were released, they only enveloped the entire training base and the adjacent laboratory.
It didn't reach a radius of 10 kilometers, and judging from the looks of it, that's not even the limit.
"It must have been Zhao Jianguo who caused the change. This place shrouded in darkness should be the ghost realm of the ghost messengers. Before, in Huanggang Village, several ghost tamers who were traveling with me wanted to leave halfway, but they could never leave the village. However, at that time, this darkness only covered the entire village area," Yang Jian said.
"You mean the ghost realm of the ghost messengers now has a radius of at least 10 kilometers? Damn it, headquarters has classified this thing as Grade B? Are you crazy?" Cao Yang said.
He had previously read the ghost messenger's file, which described the danger of this thing as being only level B.
"There's no point in saying more, let's go into the village first," Sun Rui said.
The group nodded; lingering at the village entrance wasn't a solution.
After lighting their lanterns, the four of them went inside by the light.
