Chapter 224: Clone and Black Domain

"Do you have a ghost you want to control?"

In a simple laboratory in the temporary camp, Wang Xiaoming asked Fang Shiming who was sitting on the laboratory table.

After deciding to study ghost meat, Wang Xiaoming did not delay at all and brought Fang Shiming directly to this simple laboratory.

This is the place where he has been doing research in recent days, and it is just right for studying the evil spirit in Fang Shiming's body.

As for the yellow sand ghost that has just been imprisoned, I will study it when I have free time.

"Yes, Professor." Fang Shiming took out a storage bag from his body and took out a golden box from it. "This is the evil spirit I imprisoned some time ago."

The box was not big, and there was gold glass on the surface, so you could directly see the evil spirit in the box. It was a 30-centimeter-tall humanoid doll, with a delicate and cute appearance, golden hair, and big eyes. It didn't look like an evil spirit at all.

Wang Xiaoming took the golden box and silently used the identification method. He instantly knew some information about the doll.

"Hey, this puppet ghost can also clone itself. It seems Fang Shiming wants to develop this ability. Good, there is another research material."

Wang Xiaoming thought quickly in his mind, and then said: "Okay, but this evil ghost needs to be placed with me first. I will forge this evil ghost to increase the success rate of controlling it."

Fang Shiming nodded, indicating that there was no problem. Since he had decided to ask Wang Xiaoming to help him control the evil spirit, he would not be fussy.

The laboratory began to get busy, and Zhao Jianguo also contacted some top ghost riders, some of whom had already started to rush towards Longmen Town.

After finishing all this, Zhao Jianguo called Shen Liang and asked about the situation of imprisoning the evil spirit.

"Currently, most of the evil spirits that escaped from the Yellow Sand Ghost Domain have been imprisoned. Only seven evil spirits disappeared so cleanly that no traces were found." Shen Liang reported.

Zhao Jianguo nodded and said, "Let's not worry about the seven evil spirits for now. Let's focus on the area around Longmen Town. I think there will be a tough battle next."

Seeing Shen Liang taking the order, Zhao Jianguo still felt unsafe, so he called Cao Yanhua again, preparing to ask for more resources to deal with it.

The next day, in a meeting room in the temporary camp, more than a dozen top ghost riders sat there.

Among them were not only Ye Zhen, Fang Shiming and others who had been here before, but also Zhao Kaiming, Feng Quan, Luo Sheng and other ghost riders who had just arrived.

Zhao Jianguo was standing on the stage, talking incessantly about the situation in the underground passage, while Wang Xiaoming was sitting in a corner with his eyes closed.

But even so low-key, he still attracted the attention of other top ghost controllers in the conference room from time to time. Apparently, the news that Wang Xiaoming had imprisoned the Yellow Sand Ghost alone yesterday had spread.

This piece of news directly shocked these top ghost controllers. The original Wang Xiaoming was already outrageous. He studied all kinds of supernatural props and could be said to be the one in the world who knew the most about the existence of evil spirits. Now his fighting power was maxed out. Compared with him, these top ghost controllers felt that they had lived in vain.

Only people like Zhao Kaiming and Feng Quan who have contact with Wang Xiaoming would not be surprised, because they have long known that Wang Xiaoming's strength is not simple.

But at this moment, Wang Xiaoming did not care about the disturbance in the outside world, because half of his consciousness was analyzing the Yellow Sand Ghost in the Wilderness of Knowledge. With the blessing of the Wilderness of Knowledge, even if the spiritual strength of the Yellow Sand Ghost reached the S level, he was confident that he could analyze all the spiritual runes contained in the Yellow Sand Ghost within a week.

The other half of his consciousness was thinking about the evil spirit that Fang Shiming provided yesterday. Whether it was the ghost meat or the evil spirit doll, it would be helpful to some of his research.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Jianguo finished speaking and looked at Wang Xiaoming and said, "Professor, what do you think is the best arrangement for the next exploration?"

Wang Xiaoming opened his eyes and saw the ghost riders on both sides looking at him. He shook his head and said, "I don't have any objection! I am willing to follow the arrangements of the headquarters."

Zhao Jianguo nodded and expressed his thoughts. He discussed with everyone that there was only one way to enter the underground passage and there was really nothing that could be arranged. After discussion, they finally decided to let the ghost rider with strong life-saving ability go ahead to explore the way, and the rest of the ghost riders followed behind.

But this alone is not enough, they also have to select a captain to be responsible for handling emergencies during this mission.

Since Wang Xiaoming was also involved in this mission, he was naturally elected unanimously.

After the agreement, everyone immediately set off, collected some supernatural supplies, and prepared to depart.

"professor!"

After the meeting, these top ghost riders came forward to greet Wang Xiaoming, and Wang Xiaoming nodded in response.

Among them, Feng Quan and Zhao Kaiming were the most enthusiastic. They stood beside Wang Xiaoming and prepared to take action together. Li Jun and Wei Jing also stood nearby, like two door gods, examining the approaching ghost riders with sharp eyes.

Fang Shiming originally wanted to come over, but when he saw Wang Xiaoming had been surrounded, he frowned and did not come over.

As for Ye Zhen, he was placed at the front of the team because of his strong survivability, and was currently bragging to the ghost rider next to him.

"Hey! There are so many good things here." Yang Zili, wrapped in a quilt, looked at the supernatural props provided by the headquarters with a surprised look on his face, and said distressedly: "If I had known before coming here, I would not have exchanged for supernatural props."

Yang Zili was very concerned about his life, so after receiving the order from the headquarters, he immediately exchanged a lot of supernatural props. Now when he saw the free supplies provided by the headquarters, he immediately regretted it.

Others were also shocked by the headquarters' generosity this time.

The supernatural props distributed by the headquarters this time are very comprehensive. Not only are there limited quantities of supernatural props such as ghost-exorcising bells and storage bags, but there are also various powerful props such as red and white ghost candles, supernatural bullets, etc. Anything that the headquarters has can be seen here.

In particular, the amount of supernatural gunpowder is enough to wage a small war, which is enough to show the importance the headquarters attaches to this incident.

The reason why it is so important is that this time the headquarters not only has to completely solve the problem of the underground passage, but also has to start research on the supernatural place and find a way to solve the problem of supernatural revival.

Wang Xiaoming looked at Yang Zili wrapped in a quilt with his eyes slightly narrowed, and his interest revived. Unfortunately, he had too many research projects on hand and had no time to study other evil spirits.

However, Wang Xiaoming still remembered Yang Zili and the quilt he was wrapped in. After seeing Yang Zili, Wang Xiaoming looked at a man who was dressed a little strangely, wearing a headscarf, a leather jacket, and an indifferent expression.

Luo Sheng, a ghost rider who betrayed the headquarters in the original novel, set a trap for Yang Jian, but fled to Jianguo after failing. Later, during Ye Zhen's revenge process, he died silently at the hands of Ye Zhen.

If Wang Xiaoming had not seen Luo Sheng's name on the list, he would have almost forgotten about this traitor. However, he is a top ghost rider after all, and the headquarters cannot arrest him without any reason.

"I'll talk to Zhao Jianguo after this mission is over!" Wang Xiaoming thought to himself and decided not to alert the enemy for the time being.

Luo Sheng, who was selecting supernatural props, seemed to sense Wang Xiaoming's gaze and turned his head to look over. The two looked at each other and Luo Sheng showed surprise on his face, but he immediately forced a smile and took the initiative to show goodwill.

After everyone had taken the supernatural props they needed, Zhao Jianguo stood up and said solemnly: "This mission is very important. It is related to the future development of the headquarters, so please do your best."

All the ghost riders nodded in agreement after hearing this. When they accepted the mission, the operator at the headquarters had repeatedly emphasized the importance of this mission to them.

Then Wang Xiaoming stood up and said, "Next, I will use the ghost domain to take you directly to the underground passage. Be careful not to resist."

After he finished speaking, a black light flashed and everyone disappeared from the spot.

Looking at the empty room, Zhao Jianguo showed a trace of worry on his face, and prayed in his heart that everything would go well with this mission!
In the dark underground passage, Wang Xiaoming and the ghost riders suddenly appeared. Then, a noise was heard. Dozens of fluorescent sticks lit up and were inserted into the walls on both sides under the control of an invisible force. The underground passage was instantly illuminated.

This is exactly what Wang Xiaoming had prepared in advance. After all, not everyone has dark vision like him.

Of course, in addition to these, Wang Xiaoming also found time to make some high-intensity flashlights, all of which have the ability to light up evil spirits. Not only do they have the ability to illuminate, they also come with a light ghost domain, which is a pretty good prop.

Each ghost rider had been equipped with one before coming here, and now they are holding it in their hands without turning it on, simply to save the use time of the flashlight.

Wang Xiaoming’s forging skills have improved a lot, but the high-intensity flashlight he produced still has a time limit on its use. The underground passage is unknownly dangerous, and no one knows how long it will last.

Wang Xiaoming looked around and found nothing unusual. It was the same as when he left yesterday. The play speculated: "The evil spirits in the deep passage must be restricted inexplicably and unable to leave."

Afterwards, Wang Xiaoming directed the team to line up according to the positions agreed upon on the ground and headed towards the depths of the passage. Every time they passed a certain distance, he would shine some fluorescent sticks on the stone walls on both sides of the passage.

As for the problem of lighting in front of the team, Wang Xiaoming didn't need to worry at all, because Ye Zhen was at the front of the team. His eyes were like searchlights, emitting dazzling sunlight that illuminated the way ahead, and there was no need for any other lighting at all.

Soon everyone arrived at the location of the stone door deep in the passage. Originally there was a strange stone door blocking this place, but now the stone door has disappeared, leaving only an empty hole.

Wang Xiaoming stopped the team and went forward to observe. He saw that the stone walls on both sides of the cave entrance were covered with dense cracks, as if they would collapse at the next moment. There were a lot of scratches on the ground facing outwards, which should be caused by heavy objects being dragged.

"This stone door was actually opened from the inside out by a huge force." Wang Xiaoming began to simulate the process of the stone door being opened in his mind. The scratches could only be produced if the stone door was squeezed outwards.

"At that time, a terrifying ghost must have escaped from inside, and even the stone door couldn't seal it."

Wang Xiaoming suddenly thought of Professor Liao and the Yellow Sand Ghost: "No, it should be the arrival of Liao that destroyed the balance here, causing the stone gate seal to fail, and the ghost that escaped should be the puzzle piece of the Yellow Sand Ghost. This is why the Yellow Sand Ghost suddenly lost control and began to spread outward."

"The Yellow Sand Ghost absorbed the Ghost Puzzle that escaped from the stone gate, causing its spiritual power to increase rapidly. This also explains the difference in the Yellow Sand Ghost's spiritual power before."

"But where is this stone door? Could it be that..." Wang Xiaoming looked towards the cave entrance in front of him.

There was no light at the entrance of the cave, and it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Even Ye Zhen’s sunlight and ghost domain could not illuminate it. It was like a giant mouth that swallowed souls.

Wang Xiaoming felt that it looked familiar. He took the initiative to walk closer to observe it. A light flashed in his eyes and he immediately recognized what it was.

"Professor!" Li Jun stepped forward and asked with concern.

Wang Xiaoming waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine, and then introduced to everyone: "The entrance to the cave here is a space layer, which is connected to another mysterious place. Through the entrance, we can directly reach the space connected to it."

Spatial interlayers are recorded in potion lore. Later, when Wang Xiaoming successfully researched the technology of spiritual travel and traveled through spiritual places, he also saw the spatial interlayers of this world, which were exactly the same as those presented at the cave entrance just now.

The space mezzanine is a special area formed between two different spaces. It is a common area between the two spaces and can communicate with each other. In fact, the space mezzanine has another more vivid name, that is, the black area, a special dark area.

"Professor, do you mean we are going to another dimension to complete the mission?" A ghost rider asked, "Will this be dangerous? How will we get back after we go in?"

"Don't worry about the problem of returning. This kind of space mezzanine appears in two spaces at the same time. You can just return the same way you came."

Wang Xiaoming paused and said, "As for whether there will be danger? I think you already understood it when you participated in this mission!"

The ghost rider smiled awkwardly and said nothing more. Exploring a supernatural place is always dangerous.

Wang Xiaoming glanced at everyone and found that most of them had indifferent expressions. After all, they were all top ghost controllers who had survived fighting against evil spirits. How could they be scared away before even meeting an evil spirit?

"Professor, I'll go first!" Ye Zhen volunteered, "This is the first time I've heard of a space mezzanine, so I'd like to give it a try."

After saying that, Ye Zhen ignored everything else and rushed straight to the cave entrance. He immediately disappeared from sight, leaving only a few ripples at the entrance.

After just a dozen seconds, the ripples at the cave entrance suddenly increased, and Ye Zhen came out of the cave again.

"Quick! Cover your ears!" Ye Zhen shouted as soon as he appeared.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
A drum sound came from the cave entrance, and everyone's face changed drastically. There was actually a fierce ghost attacking through the space mezzanine.

Fortunately, no one was injured. After all, everyone had turned on the ghost-exorcising bells before coming down. Although the drum sound was strong, it was not enough to damage the ghost-exorcising bells at once.
