Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 108 Da Dong City

The portrait floating to Li Hui's left is about the height of a person. The scene in the painting is very clear, but the content is very strange, as if several cities have been superimposed.

Hundreds of human heads floated in the sky above the city. Their eyes were closed, their faces were pale and bloodless, and their necks were empty, like balloons shaped like human heads.

Also.

In one of the buildings depicted in the painting, a strange human face can be vaguely seen hanging. The face is in a crying position, which looks very eerie. Even after just a few glances, a strange sense of sorrow cannot help but well up in one's heart, as if one is about to cry along with the face at any moment.

The strangest thing is...

The figures in the oil painting were able to move.

This is a portrait of 'being alive'!

In the painting, a figure is fleeing rapidly down the street, his face filled with panic, as if some ferocious beast is chasing him.

That was a face with a blend of Eastern and Western features, looking like a mixed-race person; he was Jimmy, a member of the King's Squad hidden in Hong Kong.

Jimmy appeared to be in a panic, running frantically as if trying to escape the haunted street, but he couldn't leave no matter what he did.

There were two obvious bloodstains on either side of his ears, suggesting that he had deliberately made himself deaf to avoid the ghostly attacks from the ghost face.

"Damn it, how many vengeful ghosts are there on this street? Strange human heads, terrifying ghost faces, horrifying skeletons, where did these vengeful ghosts come from? Even John died at the hands of that skeleton ghost..."

While running.

Jimmy turned his head slightly, glancing behind him out of the corner of his eye.

The city streets were somewhat dark, but not so dark that it was impossible to see anything. From Jimmy's incident, a body could be clearly seen lying on the ground next to the SUV on the other side of the street.

That was John, the captain of their King's Squad, and the only one among the five who was a powerful ghost tamer who controlled two vengeful spirits.

Even such a powerful ghost tamer was killed in the battle against the skeletal ghost. The scene was very shocking to Jimmy. Their captain had almost no ability to resist. The skeleton grabbed his head and tore it off.

"Ok?"

suddenly.

Jimmy, who was on the run, noticed something was wrong.

The skeletal ghost that had been standing in front of the SUV, holding John's head, vanished in an instant, leaving only the SUV, now turned off, and John's headless corpse on the ground.

Tatata!
at this time.

Jimmy heard a series of dull, stiff footsteps coming from the darkness ahead.

But because he had lost his hearing in both ears, Jimmy did not hear the footsteps and continued to run forward quickly. Although he knew that his actions made it virtually impossible to escape this eerie street, his survival instinct compelled him to keep running.

soon.

As Jimmy moved forward, the owner of the footsteps in the darkness also approached him, and soon Jimmy could see the scene ahead clearly.

A three-headed skull came into his view, holding a dripping head in its hand. It was John's head, its pale face devoid of color, its eyes wide open, a hint of disbelief still visible in them, as if even he himself hadn't realized he was going to die like this...

"Damn it, has this vengeful ghost completely targeted me? What exactly is the killing pattern of this skeletal ghost?"

Instantaneous time.

Jimmy changed the direction he was running in and ran towards another street.

However, the moment he turned around, he froze in place.

Suddenly, a strange figure appeared on a roadside bench not far from him. It was a man wearing leather shoes and a suit, but his face was not clearly visible.

The reason his appearance was not clear was because the man was holding up an object that looked like a piece of paper, which was blocking his face.

If you look closely, you'll find that the eerie figure is holding a blood-stained old newspaper, but the newspaper seems somewhat illusory and unreal, as if it were just a manifestation of some kind of supernatural phenomenon rather than the real source.

Almost the instant Jimmy saw the newspaper ghost, the slightly illusory, bloodstained old newspaper in its hand was gradually lowered, revealing an incomplete human face.

The face belonged to Yang Jian, but because of the ghost eye, the face copied by the newspaper ghost was incomplete, with several blank areas, making it look as if someone had forcibly cut off half of it with scissors.

"Splash!"

next moment.

A cold wind suddenly swept through the street, and old newspapers, which also looked somewhat surreal, appeared out of thin air and were blown around by the wind.

Each of the fluttering newspapers was stained with blood and bore the outline of a human face before drifting toward Jimmy.

"Is this... yet another unknown vengeful ghost?"

moment.

Jimmy's face was ashen, his expression as if he were constipated, and even a hint of despair in his eyes.

"Pat," "Pat," "Pat"...

soon.

One after another, illusory, bloodstained old newspapers were pasted onto Jimmy's body. There were too many of them, and they were too abrupt. Jimmy had no way to avoid them. Not only his face, but his whole body was covered by these eerie, illusory newspapers.

"Ah~"

A shrill scream came out.

At this moment, Jimmy felt as if something was constantly tearing at his entire body. The vengeful spirits he controlled surged forth, but he was unable to tear the newspapers off.

obviously.

In this clash between the supernatural beings, the vengeful spirit controlled by Jimmy was at a disadvantage, and even seemed to be suppressed and fall into complete silence.

However, the danger Jimmy encountered was far from over. The three-headed skeleton appeared behind him without his knowledge and reached out to grab Jimmy's neck.

Even John's headless corpse on the other side of the street began to move at this moment, clearly indicating that the vengeful spirit it controlled was gradually reviving.

"Crack!"

finally.

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

Jimmy's neck was completely torn off by the skeletal ghost, and the illusory, bloodstained old newspapers covering him began to fall off and eventually disappeared.

But on the blood-stained old newspaper that the newspaper ghost was holding, a face appeared strangely. The face had the characteristics of a person of mixed Eastern and Western descent, and the owner of the face was none other than Jimmy!
Then the newspaper ghost covered its face with the newspaper in its hand. When it took the newspaper off again, its appearance had changed dramatically. Yang Jian's facial features disappeared and were replaced by Jimmy's appearance.

"really!"

"For most ghost tamers, even if I don't personally take action, the other vengeful ghosts in the ghost realm alone are enough to kill them!"

On the streets of Hong Kong.

Li Hui thought this way after witnessing all the scenes in the oil painting on his left.

He then turned his gaze to the oil painting floating to his right.

Compared to the oil painting on the left, the scene in the portrait on Li Hui's right is equally eerie, with an overall dark style.

The background of the painting is also a scene of a modern city, but it does not seem to be a city in China. Judging from the city's construction, it looks more like a city in an island country.

The oil painting depicts a dark alleyway.

At the end of this road stands an extremely strange building—a dilapidated, dark wooden house.

The overall outline of the wooden house resembles a skull. The two closed windows on the second floor are like two eyes, and the open wooden door on the first floor is like a giant mouth. The environment inside is extremely dark and pitch black. From a distance, the wooden door looks like the entrance to the abyss of hell, which looks very sinister and terrifying.

Moreover, there is a red vertical mark between the two windows on the second floor and the wooden door on the first floor, just like a nose on a human face.

at this time.

An SUV was parked in the middle of the road. There was no one inside the vehicle, but three figures—two men and one woman—were lying on the ground outside.

The bright red blood stained the surroundings, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with a faint stench of corpses.

The three corpses on the street were the other three members of the King's Squad.

Their strength was even inferior to John and Jimmy's, and they were killed instantly when they encountered the relentless attacks of the vengeful ghosts.

The killers were figures in the buildings lining the street; they were attacked the moment the King's Squad drove into the alley.

That's a supernatural derivative of haunted houses. When Li Hui was forced to participate in the ghost painting incident in Dahai City, he also encountered a similar attack by a shadowy figure.

But the bus that Li Hui was driving at that time was too powerfully supernatural, and there was no risk of the evil spirits resurrecting. It could be said that he could kill an evil spirit with one punch, and he himself was like a supernatural bus, crashing through the pile of supernatural beings.

However, the three members of the King's Squad were clearly no match for Li Hui at that time. At first, they were able to cope with the attack of the shadows by using the power of the ghosts they controlled. But as more and more shadows surrounded them, they eventually met their demise.

This is the end.

All five members of the King's Squad, who were hiding in Hong Kong, were killed.

Moreover, Li Hui did not personally take action; he merely led the five of them into his ghost realm.

then.

Li Hui waved his hand.

The two portraits, each taller than a person, that were floating in front of him began to blur and eventually disappeared completely.

Immediately afterwards, a hazy cloud of paper ash drifted and spread into the distance. The next moment, Li Hui and the others vanished from their spot.

Hong Kong was not his destination.

The reason John and the other ghost tamers took action was because of their differing stances. The King Organization had already formed a blood feud with Li Hui. As for the other ghost tamers, whether it was the ghost tamer from that private club or the city manager of Hong Kong, none of them could attract Li Hui's attention.

With Li Hui's departure.

The other ghost tamers in Xiangjiang City all breathed a sigh of relief, including Nie Zhen, who was in charge of the city.

The feeling of constant warnings from the vengeful spirits within them, like thorns in their backs, finally disappeared, meaning they would no longer be attacked by these spirits.

"A vengeful ghost that just happened to be passing by?"

In Nie Zhen's view, this strange phenomenon seemed to be the only possibility; otherwise, it simply couldn't be explained.

Then Nie Zhen summoned his assistant and gave him instructions: Investigate the situation in all areas of Hong Kong...

at the same time.

the other side.

The city closest to Xiangjiang City is Dadong City, which is under the jurisdiction of Wang Chaling.

The ashes of paper filled the sky and drifted across the sea, extending directly into the jurisdiction of Da Dong City. Li Hui's actions were made without any concealment, and the ghost domain directly enveloped the city.

Almost at the same time.

Inside a detached villa in a high-end residential area of ​​Dadong City, Wang Chaling was suddenly awakened from his sleep and sat up abruptly in bed.

I don’t know when.

Two figures appeared out of thin air in Wang Chaling's room; they were two old men, their figures appearing somewhat illusory.

They all presented an eerie black and white color scheme, looking as if the people in the funeral portraits had appeared in reality.

"Grandpa, Grandma, what's going on?"

However, faced with this bizarre scene, Wang Chaling did not show any panic on his face. Instead, he tentatively asked the two black and white old men standing by the bed.

Followed by.

Wang Chaling's ears twitched.

At that moment, it was as if someone was whispering something in his ear. Then, Wang Chaling got off the bed, walked to the window, and looked outside.

What came into Wang Chaling's view was a gray, terrifyingly vast world. From west to south, it stretched out as far as the eye could see, like a deathly dividing line that separated the entire city.

The eerie scene contrasted sharply with the view inside his room.

The emergence of Wang Yidai's supernatural power actually managed to keep the ashes flying everywhere away, as if the room they were in was a forbidden area, and no other supernatural beings could invade.

"That's... the ghost realm of the Ghost Painting?"

With just one glance, Wang Chaling recognized the origin of the ghostly domain that had already enveloped most of the city outside the window.

This is thanks to his habit of reading files on extremely terrifying paranormal events, so that he can find ways to avoid them if he encounters them in the future.

"According to news from headquarters, a top-tier ghost tamer codenamed 'Ghost Painting' seems to have recently emerged in the paranormal community. Could it be him? Or has the real Ghost Painting erupted in Da Dong City?"

For a while.

Wang Chaling fell into deep thought.

At the same time, he was also thinking, if the ghost realm outside was indeed the work of the ghost tamer codenamed 'Ghost Painting', then what was the other party's intention?
If that ghostly realm is indeed the real ghost painting incident, then how should I deal with it?
