Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 1 Inside the Train Car

Blue Star.

Ningbo.

In a somewhat shabby rented room, Li Hui lay on his bed, turned to the side, occasionally tapping his phone screen to browse the latest chapter of a novel.

The novel he was reading was called Mysterious Resurrection. Its unique setting made it a standout in the online novel world, and it became an instant hit across the internet upon its release.

The three laws in the book:
"Ghosts cannot be killed!"

"Only ghosts can defeat ghosts!"

"Understand the patterns of ghosts!"

Once Li Hui got hooked, he became completely engrossed and couldn't extricate himself, often staying up all night or even reading all night long.

Today is May 20th, which is also the end date of the novel. The author of "Mysterious Resurrection" previously stated that the novel would conclude today.

Soon, Li Hui scrolled to the end of the latest chapter, where a large "(The End)" sign caught his eye...

"The author actually ended it like that, even though there were so many plot holes left to fill!"

"Although the author said that he would fill in the plot holes in the extra chapters, that is not the main text after all, and most of the content will definitely be just mentioned in passing, not as detailed as the main text."

"Most importantly, none of the main characters, including Yang Jian, survived in the ending of the main story; they all died."

"Li Yang, Huang Ziya, Tong Qian, Feng Quan, Xiong Wenwen... they're all dead. Perhaps Yang Jian will resurrect them in a side story, but that's not part of the main plot..."

Well known.

The side stories and the main story are two completely different things!
"Especially Zhang Wei, his death was truly heartbreaking. And Wang Shanshan, she truly dedicated her entire life to Yang Jian."

"In the end, to bring about Yang Jian's success and to correct the final flaw in that rule, he chose to be buried underground along with the Yang Jian statue..."

……

After reading the latest chapter, Li Hui felt a mix of emotions, unable to describe his feelings.

After nearly five years of companionship through my youth, the novel ends tragically, especially with the gradual passing of Yang Jian's old friends, leaving the reader feeling depressed.

Perhaps this ending aligns with the novel's original intention, since the novel's initial title was "Human World is Like a Prison," which destined it to have an imperfect ending.

But Li Hui still felt that the project was half abandoned, and the reason for the 'abandonment' was not just because there were still many plot holes to be filled.

"Sixty years have buried the youth of too many people. If we could solve the problem of the supernatural in another way, perhaps the outcome would be completely different..." Li Hui thought to himself.

However, what Li Hui didn't expect was that the moment this thought popped into his head, the phone in his hand emitted a very dazzling red light.

As soon as the red light appeared, it illuminated everything around it, and the whole world seemed to be dyed red by this red light!
Even more bizarrely...

The moment the red light appeared, everything around them froze. The clock on the wall, the fan turning, even Li Hui's thoughts were frozen in that instant.

This scene is as if time has stopped moving forward, or as if a movie has been paused.

Followed by.

Over time.

The crimson, blood-like light seemed to possess its own consciousness, starting from Li Hui's palm and gradually extending upwards until it enveloped his entire body.

Finally, a flash of red light.

Li Hui, along with the latest Android phone he was holding, disappeared from the rented room.

.........

……

"This is where?"

As his thoughts returned to normal and his consciousness took over his body again, the scene before him stunned Li Hui.

He was not in his cramped rented room at that moment, but strangely appeared on a bus, sitting in the last row of the bus on the left by the window.

"what's the situation?"

"I crossed?"

Li Hui pinched his thigh hard, and the real pain made him realize that he wasn't dreaming because he was too sleepy from reading a novel, but that he was actually on a bus.

"Was it caused by that red light?"

Li Hui tried hard to recall, and the last thing he remembered was a red light appearing on his phone screen, and then he found himself here.

Realizing that his 'time travel' might be related to that red light, Li Hui immediately fiddled with his phone, wanting to see if he could travel back in time.

He had read many kinds of online novels, including quite a few of the "dual transmigration" type. These novels are about protagonists who can use a cheat-like ability to travel between reality and ancient times or other worlds, using resources from both worlds to develop rapidly.

However, the result was disappointing for Li Hui.

After he fiddled with it, not only did the eerie red light disappear, but even the phone screen remained off, seemingly in a state of being switched off.

"out of battery?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I was reading novels while charging, so it shouldn't have run out of power and shut down. Besides, even if it's off, there's still some response when you press and hold the power button."

Undeterred, Li Hui tried again, but the result was the same. The phone did not respond at all, as if he was holding a model phone instead of a real one.

resignedly.

Seeing that he couldn't rely on his phone, Li Hui could only put it in his pocket for the time being, and then looked around the interior of the carriage.

There weren't many passengers in the car; including Li Hui, there were only seven people.

Five of them were sitting in the middle aisle of the bus, near the rear door.

Because of the angle, Li Hui couldn't see the five people's faces clearly, so he couldn't judge their ages, but judging from their clothes, they shouldn't be very old.

In addition, there was an elderly man wearing a gray long shirt and a black hat, sitting on the front seat of the bus with his head slightly lowered, seemingly asleep.

The old man was very old, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his exposed skin was covered with dark brown age spots and dark red marks, which looked a bit like birthmarks, but there were many of them, densely packed together.

As Li Hui continued to observe the situation inside the carriage, several passengers sitting in the middle of the carriage also turned their heads to look at him.

However, the expressions on their faces were extremely strange, and their eyes revealed incomprehension, doubt, and a hint of fear.

After only a quick glance, the group turned their heads back and began to whisper among themselves.

“He looks like an ordinary person, in good health, with no signs of being corrupted by supernatural forces,” one of the five men said in a low voice.

Before he could finish speaking, someone next to him immediately retorted, "An ordinary person? How could someone who suddenly appears on this supernatural bus be an ordinary person? And the way he appeared... it's a bit like a ghostly ability?"

"He should be a Ghost Tamer. Being in good physical condition doesn't mean he's an ordinary person. He may have just become a Ghost Tamer recently."

"I think so."

The other two also spoke up one after another.

"..."

After a while.

The first man to speak asked the only woman among the five who hadn't spoken up, "Sister Qin, what do you think?"

The other three also stopped talking and looked at the woman whose seat was closest to the back door of the bus, indicating that she held a high position among the five of them.

Upon hearing this, He Qin frowned slightly, a thoughtful expression on her face, and then said, "Instead of investigating whether that person is a ghost tamer, we should think about whether his appearance will affect our mission this time."

"You must understand that the letters we're delivering this time are far more dangerous than ever before. If anything goes wrong along the way, the final outcome will be..."

He Qin didn't say what she was going to say next, but the other four clearly understood what she meant, and their expressions all changed.
