I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 9 Theatrical Pattern Erosion

Supernatural phenomena can sense each other.

For this reason, it is almost impossible for a ghost tamer to hide their identity from their own kind, and they will be discovered the moment they meet due to the supernatural connection between them.

Unless they have hidden in a deep ghost realm, or there are special supernatural items.

Lin Yuan naturally had nothing on him; even the Monkey King mask on his face was a toy from a children's clothing store, which somehow ended up in his home.

Ouyang Tian did not sense anything supernatural about Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan felt the same way. Besides feeling a bit cold around Ouyang Tian, ​​he also felt the same way about the uncontrolled ghosts being stimulated.

Could it be that the theatrical makeup on his face, the opera and singing in his mind, are merely signals that he has been cursed or infected into a demon slave?

He did not become a ghost tamer because of this?

This is... wonderful!

He had no idea how to control vengeful spirits. If he were to become a ghost tamer, he worried that he wouldn't be able to control new vengeful spirits after he died.

But if it were an ordinary person, would they have such concerns?

Lin Yuan, who had been quite wary, now had a completely different look in his eyes. Gone was his initial caution and prudence; instead, he became increasingly unrestrained.

When he looked at Ouyang Tian again, it was as if he were looking at prey.

This look infuriated Ouyang Tian. He was always arrogant and looked down on everyone except Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng in the club.

Now you're being looked down upon by an ordinary person?

Anger filled his mind, causing the purplish-brown lines on his cheeks to darken and turn black, and one could vaguely see them wriggling slightly under his skin.

"If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know your place!"

Ouyang Tian strode over, and as he got closer, the chilling aura grew stronger, causing Lin Yuan to feel a slight twitch on his left cheek beneath the mask.

In that moment of distraction, Ouyang Tian had already arrived in front of him, his right hand, also covered with purplish-brown patterns, slapping towards Lin Yuan's Great Sage Mask.

"An ordinary person with a fruit knife dares to act like a ghost in front of me!"

Snapped!

The Great Sage's mask fell off with a sound, revealing half of his face covered in colorful makeup beneath it.

Ouyang Tian was somewhat surprised, but the next moment, the look in the left eye on that half of his face changed. It became dark and deep, devoid of any color that belonged to a normal person.

At the same time, a strong feeling welled up in my heart.

This was something that had never happened before; it was a supernatural connection between two ghost tamers, and the intensity of this connection was so great that even the purplish-brown lines under his skin became clearer.

He suddenly looked down at the Great Sage mask that he had knocked off his feet.

On the inside of the mask, a face exactly like Lin Yuan's left cheek was slowly fading away, disappearing without a trace in no time.

If Ouyang Tian hadn't been so confident in his eyes, he would have doubted whether it was an illusion.

Supernatural items!

A thought flashed through Ouyang Tian's mind, and a surge of greed immediately welled up within him. "So we really are the same kind! In that case, you don't need to go scout ahead. But as compensation for mocking me, this mask is mine!"

He reached for the Monkey King mask, but just before he touched it, he found that he couldn't move.

What's going on?

Ouyang Tian's face was contorted in a ferocious expression, and the purplish-brown lines on his skin began to writhe wildly.

They seemed to come alive, crawling under his skin and extending towards Ouyang Tian's face.

The aura around him grew increasingly cold, and his previously immobile body regained some mobility.

"It's you!"

Ouyang Tian stiffly turned his head and saw Lin Yuan staring at him with an icy expression.

"It's me. But I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have realized that I'm also a Ghost Tamer."

Lin Yuan was genuinely grateful.

Just as Ouyang Tian knocked the Great Sage mask off his face, the voice in his mind became clearer.

A chilling aura began to spread from his left cheek, and at the same time, he seemed to be instilled with consciousness, roughly understanding his current situation.

He did indeed become a demon tamer, and a cursed one at that.

The source of the curse is a ghost who performs in operas, and this ghost does not exist in reality, but in the world of mirrors.

This is why, during the last delusional hallucination, the reflection in the mirror showed signs of coming to life.

It was also during the same delusion and illusion last time.

Because of the curse, Lin Yuan's reflection was stolen by the ghost in the mirror. He was almost dragged into the mirror and killed, and then turned into a ghost slave.

Fortunately, Zhou Zheng used the power of the ghost infant to shatter the mirror.

In a fit of madness, Lin Yuan slashed his face with a mirror. The blood and the curse mingled, making half of his body the vessel of the ghost's curse in reality, resulting in his current state.

Now, he can borrow the ghost's supernatural power through curses, but he also needs to pay a price.

The first ability, just like the one he's using on Ouyang Tian now:

Theatrical patterns are eroded!

Ouyang Tian also noticed that something was wrong with Lin Yuan, because Lin Yuan's left eye was no longer a normal pupil, but instead showed the painted face patterns from traditional Chinese opera.

Moreover, Lin Yuan wasn't looking at him at all; instead, he was looking at his feet.

What's under your feet?

He looked down sharply; there was his shadow.

Unlike normal shadows, his shadow actually displayed the same theatrical painted face patterns that Lin Yuan had seen!

"This is your ability? To restrict my movements with your shadow?"

Although he had only controlled one ghost, Ouyang Tian had experienced several supernatural events and could be considered a seasoned ghost controller. He immediately understood Lin Yuan's methods.

"Yeah, how are you feeling?"

Lin Yuan smiled gently, but that smile looked so strange on his face, which was normal on the right and covered in theatrical makeup on the left.

Feeling the strange power within him, Ouyang Tian said angrily, "Lin Yuan! I admit I underestimated you before, but since we're both ghost tamers, we're naturally of the same kind. The entire building is sealed off right now; escaping won't be easy. Fighting me here will only worsen your condition!"

Lin Yuan tilted his head and sneered, "If you're going to back down, just say so. Otherwise, let's settle this right here!"

"You're a madman!"

Ouyang Tian was furious and shocked, but seeing Lin Yuan's seemingly genuine madness, he was ultimately afraid. He dared not gamble on whether he had truly encountered a madman.

"Alright, alright, I admit defeat this time. Let's stop. I owe you a favor!"
