Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 12 Graveyard
This is a silent asphalt road, exuding an eerie feeling. The road is very long, and it seems to have no end at all.

now.

On this highway, a rusty old bus is driving forward.

Inside the carriage, Li Hui, looking tired, sat in the driver's seat, leaning back and looking at the scenery outside the vehicle.

The sky was gloomy and overcast, giving people a very oppressive feeling. On both sides of the road were endless wastelands, which were completely barren, without even weeds or trees.

This highway does not exist in reality, but in some supernatural place.

Previously, under Li Hui's control, the speed of the supernatural bus continued to increase, and then the headlights of the vehicles converged, illuminating a dark path that only existed in the ghost realm.

After traveling on that side road for about half an hour, the supernatural bus returned to the main road, which is the highway where Li Hui and his group are currently located.

During this period, except for the initial period when Li Hui was driving the vehicle, the bus was moving automatically the rest of the time.

Although the speed was not fast, it was very smooth, maintaining a steady pace of around 50 miles per hour.

Although the supernatural power of the three-story bus allows Li Hui to drive the bus, there's no need for him to control it constantly, as it would be too much of a burden. Instead, like now, he only needs to take action at crucial moments, which consumes far less energy.

Time passed by, and after about twenty more minutes, the scenery outside changed again.

In what was once an endless wasteland, mounds of graves appeared.

At first, there were very few burial mounds, scattered across the wasteland. But as the bus went deeper and deeper, more and more burial mounds appeared, densely packed, stretching into the dark depths of the distance, like small, protruding hills.

Some of the burial mounds had tombstones in front of them, with a person's portrait faintly visible on them. However, due to the distance and lighting, Li Hui was unable to make out the appearance of the person in the portrait.

Some of the mounds have sunken in, forming pits, as if the things buried beneath them have already left.

"Is this the graveyard described in the original work? At this time of year, Luo Qian, the graveyard owner, should still be alive, right?" Li Hui curiously looked out the window.

In terms of both eeriness and terror, this endless graveyard far surpasses the rice paddy where the scarecrow stopped the bus.

Because beneath each mound in the endless graveyard lies a vengeful ghost, and at a glance, there are at least tens of thousands of graves.

The deeper the burial mound, the more terrifying the vengeful ghosts buried beneath, including some S-level supernatural beings, and perhaps even more complex and bizarre ones!

But compared to this terrifying graveyard, Li Hui was more wary of the rice paddy where the scarecrow was located, at least at this point in time.

the reason is simple.

Luo Qian, the owner of the graveyard, is still alive, so those more terrifying and powerful ghosts in the graveyard cannot come out at all.

As for those vengeful ghosts that weren't terrifying enough and were buried on the edge of the graveyard, even if they came out, they wouldn't pose a threat to Li Hui. He could easily suppress them with one punch each.

The reason he had such confidence was not only because the bus he was driving was indeed supernaturally powerful, but also because he was not at risk of the evil spirits resurrecting. This was Li Hui's real trump card!

Logically speaking, the more terrifying the supernatural power a ghost wields, the shorter the time before the vengeful ghost resurrects. The ghost might die from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost after only a few uses of its power.

Just as Li Hui had thought.

Luckily, he was the one targeted by the black scarecrow. If it were a normal ghost tamer, even if he controlled a three-story bus, he would still die. Before the black scarecrow could be defeated, he himself would have already become a vengeful ghost...

.........

"Boom~"

The roar of the engine broke the deathly silence of the graveyard.

Although Luo Qian was still alive and there was probably no major problem with the cemetery, Li Hui, adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble," still took over driving the bus.

With the accelerator floored, the speed, which was originally around 50 miles per hour, was instantly increased, and the car sped forward along the road.

"Huh? That's..."

After driving for about five or six minutes, Li Hui noticed that the continuous stretch of cemetery along the road suddenly stopped, leaving an empty space.

A road leads from the open space to a hill, on which sits a wooden house.

The wooden house was very old, as if it had been neglected for many years. It was rickety and poorly constructed, with a drafty feel, as if it would fall apart if someone kicked it a few times.

To Li Hui's surprise,

At this moment, the wooden door of the small wooden house standing in the middle of the cemetery was open, and a tall, thin old man was standing at the door looking in this direction, seemingly attracted by the roar of the bus.

"Luo Qian?"

The light near the wooden house was unusually dim, and Li Hui was unable to see the old man's face clearly, but that did not prevent him from guessing the man's identity.

A haunted place, a graveyard, a wooden house, an old man... these clues intertwine, and the answer is already quite obvious.

At that moment, Li Hui suddenly had an urge to honk the horn twice, but he restrained himself and continued to drive the bus away as if he hadn't seen anything.

the other side.

Luo Qian stood at the door of the wooden house, watching the direction the bus had left in. He watched for a long time until the bus lights completely disappeared into the distance before turning around and walking into the wooden house. Then the wooden door creaked shut.

"A very young guy, a bit eccentric, but the fact that he can drive a bus so easily shows he's one of the leaders of this era..."

As the wooden door closed, a sentence came from inside the house.

After that, the eerie graveyard fell into a long period of deathly silence.

.........

"Luo Qian probably won't be able to hold on much longer, right?"

Inside the bus, Li Hui was driving while lost in thought.

Among the seven elders of the Republic of China, Luo Qian was considered one of the more stable ones. Before his death, there were no problems at the cemetery, and he seemed to be a good person. In the original novel, he helped Wei Jing suppress the ghost messengers as soon as he appeared.

To be precise, among the seven elders of the Republic of China, it seems that only Luo Wensong had the biggest problem. As the first administrator of the Ghost Post Office, he was not at peace even after death, which evolved into the "Knocking Ghost" incident, where he knocked on doors all over the world.

All of this is because Luo Wensong did not handle his funeral properly, did not dissect his own supernatural existence cleanly enough, and always wanted to knock on the door to the supernatural world.

Besides.

The Fushouyuan Incident in Dahai City and the 301 Incident in Dachuan City were both triggered by letters from the Ghost Post Office, even though Luo Wensong was already dead at that time...

As for the other members of the Seven Elders, they all made corresponding arrangements before their deaths. Whether it was Meng Xiaodong, Zhang Dong, Luo Qian, Li Qingzhi, or even Elder Qin, they all made preparations.

However, the vengeful spirits in the Endless Graveyard that Luo Qian suppressed later invaded reality through letters sent by the Ghost Post Office, thus creating the Fushouyuan Incident.

The letters from the Ghost Post Office also caused Meng Xiaodong's room 301 in Dachuan City to get out of control, almost turning into a terrifying large-scale paranormal event.

Although the ghost hotel that Li Qingzhi suppressed got out of control and caused the Caesar Hotel incident, his corpse continued to slay ghosts all over the hotel after his death, preventing the evil spirits from crossing the line and invading the real world outside the hotel.

As for Zhang Dong, needless to say, he truly managed to suppress the supernatural land peacefully both before and after his death. The ancient house where he was located never went out of control from beginning to end, and he even dealt with the captain of the ghost ship who had been tricked into the ancient house by Yang Jian during the national war.

P.S.: There will be another chapter later, and then in the next chapter the bus will enter the real world. You can try to guess which city it will be.
