Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 126 Li Hui VS Wish Ghost

Outside the airplane.

Li Hui stood suspended in mid-air thousands of meters above the ground, with nothing beneath his feet, defying gravity and science, simply standing there, gazing at the passenger plane not far away.

Passenger aircraft typically fly at altitudes between 6,000 and 12,000 meters.

The passenger plane was originally flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, but due to the captain's death, the plane went out of control and plummeted straight down. It was only because of Yang Jian's ghost domain that it stopped falling, but it still landed at an altitude of less than 5,000 meters above the ground.

"That layer of red light that enveloped the plane earlier should have been the Ghost Eye's Ghost Domain. Its overall strength wasn't very high. It seems that without the groundwork laid by the Starving Ghost, Yang Jian still hasn't figured out a way to increase the Ghost Domain by stacking the number of Ghost Eyes..."

Li Hui's expression shifted slightly as he stood high in the air.

Li Hui had naturally seen the scene of the passenger plane being shrouded in red light, but the moment his ghost domain enveloped it, the scarlet ghost domain suddenly disappeared. It wasn't because Li Hui's ghost domain suppressed it, but because it had already disappeared before his ghost domain spread over.

Li Hui was not surprised by this.

Having read the original work, he knew that the supernatural power of the Ghost Painting suppressed the supernatural power of the Ghost Eye. Not only could the Ghost Eye not open its ghost domain smoothly within the Ghost Painting's ghost domain, but the Ghost Eye didn't even dare to look directly at the Ghost Painting.

This is a chain of restraint among the supernatural, and has nothing to do with the terror level of the vengeful ghost itself.

To give a simple example, although the terror level of the ghost fire controlled by Li Jun is not low, the strength of the ghost domain is not particularly high.

Logically speaking, a ghost domain of that strength should be directly suppressed by a ghost painting's ghost domain, to the point that it cannot even open. However, the actual situation was not like that. Instead, the ghost fire's supernatural power countered the ghost painting's supernatural power.

In the original novel, Yang Jian controlled the ghost fire within Li Jun's body after Li Jun's first death, which freed the Ghost Eye from the supernatural limitations of the ghost painting and allowed the Ghost Domain to open instantly, thus destroying Zhang Xianguang's 'Peach Blossom Spring Plan' in one fell swoop!
"However, the supernatural event that suddenly occurred on the plane Yang Jian was on is really quite unusual." At this moment, Li Hui looked towards the cockpit of the plane.

The ashes of paper filled the air, replacing Yang Jian's ghostly aura and enveloping the passenger plane, preventing it from continuing to fall and keeping it suspended in mid-air.

It was precisely because of the ghostly aura that everything inside the plane was visible to Li Hui; there were no secrets whatsoever.

If someone on the plane were to look out the window at this moment, they would see that the once clear sky has now turned into a hazy gray, with clumps of indistinct gray objects constantly drifting down—ashes left behind after something had burned.

Everything in reality was assimilated after coming into contact with this darkness, becoming part of Li Hui's ghost realm.

Not only in the sky, but also inside the passenger plane, the same scene unfolded.

The hazy ashes of paper drifted everywhere, carrying a strange, supernatural power. Under the illumination of Li Hui's ghostly domain, some things that did not exist in the real world gradually appeared.

For example, the cockpit of an airplane.

"This is... another vengeful ghost?" Yang Jian's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the change in the scene before him, his face filled with vigilance.

What shocked him was not the sight of paper ash floating everywhere, nor the complete silence of the ghost eye he controlled, but a figure that suddenly appeared behind the vengeful ghost that had been suppressed by the headless ghost.

It was a tall figure whose features were indistinct, but which had a human-like outline. It was shrouded in a layer of mist and exuded a cold aura.

Yang Jian could sense that the suddenly appearing figure was not the source of the vengeful ghost in that gray ghost domain, because Yang Jian had seen the source of that terrifying ghost domain before, which was a terrifying female ghost whose appearance was unclear.

When Yang Jian passed through Dachang City, he saw some images of that vengeful ghost. What he remembered most vividly was the female ghost's smooth, white, and flawless hands. At that time, her hands were pierced by a golden candlestick, but no blood flowed out, which seemed very strange.

"So, the initial source of the supernatural events on the plane wasn't actually the vengeful spirit inside Luo Feng, but rather this vengeful spirit. After Luo Feng died in the attack, the vengeful spirit inside him revived, which led to all these subsequent events?"

Yang Jian was not unintelligent and quickly deduced part of the truth, especially when he saw the strange hands of different sizes on Luo Feng's body, which made his guess even more certain.

But at this point, these truths no longer mattered to Yang Jian.

Even though the vengeful spirit controlled by Luo Feng wasn't particularly terrifying—it was immediately suppressed by the headless ghost after its resurrection—it didn't really help much.

The sudden appearance of the second vengeful ghost, coupled with the terrifying ghost outside the plane that even ghost eyes dared not look directly at, filled Yang Jian with a sense of despair, making him believe that he was likely to meet with bad luck today.

"Ok?"

"This vengeful ghost..."

suddenly.

Yang Jian, who had been observing the vengeful ghost behind Luo Feng, showed a slight change in expression.

For some reason, he felt that the vengeful ghost was very familiar to him, as if he had encountered it somewhere before.

"This is... the vengeful ghost that was with Zhao Kaiming before?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yang Jian's mind, and he realized where his 'sense of familiarity' came from.

He had encountered this suddenly appearing ghost before, and more than once. The first time was when he led the knocking ghost to Dachang City. At that time, the ghost was standing under a street lamp. The knocking ghost's ghost domain could not affect it at all. Yang Jian even lit a ghost candle to test it, but the ghost candle's terrifying burning speed successfully deterred him.

The second direct encounter with this vengeful ghost was not long ago during the starving ghost incident. At that time, Wang Xiaoming's experiment failed, and he brought the source of the starving ghost to the hospital.

Later, Wang Xiaoming organized the ghost tamers of Dachang City to go to the top-floor office of the hospital to retrieve the strange finger. Zhao Kaiming also went in with them.

Yang Jian remembered clearly that this vengeful ghost was also mixed in with them, and even blew out the ghost candle he had lit, which really startled Yang Jian. In the end, he chose to separate from Wang Xiaoming and the others.

"According to the staff's investigation, Zhao Kaiming is already dead. So why is the vengeful ghost that was with him on this plane? Could it have followed me up?"

At this moment, Yang Jian thought of the strange feeling he had not long ago, that he always felt someone was watching him from behind, but even when he opened his ghost eyes, he could not find anything.

At the time, he thought he was hallucinating or that there was something wrong with his body. Now that he thinks about it, the truth may not be so. It is possible that the vengeful ghost was already with him at that time, and then boarded the plane together. In the end, for some unknown reason, it targeted and attacked Luo Feng.

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

"But if the vengeful ghost was already by my side, why was Luo Feng the first to be attacked, instead of me?"

While thinking.

Yang Jian quietly took a few steps back, instinctively trying to get away from the vengeful ghost.

This ghost could even blow out a ghost candle, its terror far exceeding expectations. Yang Jian felt that even in his full form, he wouldn't be able to deal with it, let alone now that the supernatural power of his ghost eye had been suppressed to the point of being unusable by that dark ghost domain.

Almost at the same time Yang Jian retreated, the ghost turned its head. Although Yang Jian couldn't see its features clearly, he could clearly feel a cold gaze fixed on him.

However, just as Yang Jian's expression tightened and he was preparing to grit his teeth and fight desperately, a calm voice came from behind him:

"I thought it was some kind of vengeful ghost hiding so well that it could even interfere with part of my ghost realm. It turns out it's a wish ghost. But shouldn't you be with Zhao Xiaoya right now? How come you're on this passenger plane?"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

Standing slightly behind him was a handsome young man, about twenty years old, dressed in casual clothes, with a calm expression on his face, his eyes scrutinizing the vengeful ghost.

What is most striking is the paper ash surrounding Li Hui's body, which is much denser and more concentrated than in other areas, as if it were the source of all the paper ash.

Also.

After Li Hui appeared, Yang Jian discovered that the Ghost Eye he controlled had completely fallen silent, more completely than ever before. It wasn't just that it couldn't open; he could barely even sense the Ghost Eye's existence anymore.

"How is this possible... Could it be that what Ghost Eye truly fears is this man? But this ghost realm is clearly the same as that terrifying female ghost that passed through Dachang City before, could it be..."

Sudden.

Yang Jian thought of a possibility.

That means the vengeful ghost that passed through Dachang City has been controlled by the young man in front of him. Only in this way can the scene before us be explained.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian tentatively asked, "Hello, I am Yang Jian, the person in charge of Dachang City. You must also be a Ghost Tamer from headquarters, right?"

In Yang Jian's view, the only people who could directly use the Ghost Domain to appear here during this period were those supported by headquarters. Otherwise, other civilian ghost tamers would not have done such a thankless task. Even if they discovered the abnormality of the passenger plane, most of them would just sit idly by.

"My name is Li Hui, and I'm the newly appointed captain at headquarters," Li Hui said after glancing at Yang Jian.

At this point, Yang Jian was not yet the "Invincible Yang" of the later part of the original story. This was not only because there was a big difference in the strength of the supernatural forces he could control, but also because his experience in handling supernatural matters was vastly different. However, his personality had already changed from the original version, a change that even Yang Jian himself was unaware of.

The eerie presence of the headless ghost is subtly influencing Yang Jian's character, a problem that every supernatural being must confront.

However, this has little to do with Li Hui.

As his thoughts raced, Li Hui spoke up: "This operation is a mission from headquarters. The vengeful ghost you suppressed is yours, and I'll handle the remaining one."

talking.

Li Hui's gaze returned to the wishing ghost.

This made Yang Jian, who was about to say something, swallow his words and say nothing more. Instead, he controlled the headless ghost to directly invade Luo Feng's corpse. This action not only further suppressed the evil spirit in Luo Feng's body, but also allowed him to control the movement of Luo Feng's corpse.

Tatata!
Under Yang Jian's control.

Luo Feng's corpse walked towards him step by step, and finally collapsed to the ground very close to him. At the same time, the headless ghost left Luo Feng's corpse.

However, unlike at the beginning, the headless ghost now held a black heart in its hand. With each heartbeat, black liquid gushed out, seemingly blood, but emitting a pungent stench.

This black heart is the vengeful ghost inside Luo Feng's body.

Seeing this, Yang Jian opened the gold foil bag he had prepared beforehand. Then, the headless ghost threw the ghost heart in its hand into the gold foil bag. Yang Jian immediately put the bag away, and the headless ghost returned to his back, turning into a shadow reflected on the ground of the cockpit.

After doing all this, Yang Jian turned his attention to Li Hui, wondering how he would imprison the other terrifying ghost.

Ghostly drawing by Li Hui!

Yang Jian was actually quite familiar with this name. When he was successfully resurrected and woke up, he found that the starving ghost incident had been successfully dealt with, and the person who dealt with the starving ghost was the young man in front of him.

With the ability to handle S-level paranormal events, Yang Jian felt that Zhao Kaiming's vengeful ghost should not be a match for Li Hui. He wanted to take this opportunity to see the gap between himself and a true top-level ghost tamer like Li Hui.

As for the Wish Ghost, Yang Jian no longer took it seriously, thinking that it would most likely be successfully imprisoned by Li Hui today!
However, what Yang Jian didn't know was...

At this moment, Li Hui felt a dilemma.

He was pondering how to deal with the wish-ghost.

In Li Hui's opinion, dealing with this vengeful ghost was no less difficult than dealing with the ghost painting. This was not to say that the ghost of wishes was no less terrifying than the ghost painting, but rather that its complexity was far too high.

It possesses intelligence comparable to that of a living person, can restart infinitely, and most importantly, it currently has no physical form, so even coffin nails are ineffective against it. This can be said to be an invincible entity from the outset.

As for the poor performance of the wishing ghost in the later part of the original work, that was entirely its own doing, or you could say it was a plot device.

Strictly speaking, the Wish Ghost wasn't imprisoned by Yang Jian; it destroyed itself!

They were already free from the rules, yet they insisted on creating new rules to restrict themselves. Isn't that a plot device? You have to understand that when the wish ghost wanted to leave, Yang Jian and his group couldn't stop it at all.

Using a ghost closet as a body, although it is a collision of supernatural forces and a helpless act, also blocks one's own escape route. The ghost closet does not actually strengthen the wish-granting ghost, but rather restricts it. Having a physical body and not having a physical body are two completely different concepts.

Take Li Hui for example. He would rather face the wish ghost that later took over the ghost cabinet as its body than confront the wish ghost that had no physical form at this time.

This is not out of fear.

In terms of sheer supernatural power, Li Hui was confident he could subdue the Wish Hammer, but he lacked confidence in leaving behind a vengeful ghost that had no physical form but possessed intelligence and knew to run away when it couldn't win.

Especially since the other party also has the ability to restart!
But since we've run into this situation, we have to give it a try.

While thinking.

A figure reappeared in the not-so-spacious cockpit. It was a person exactly like Li Hui, a derivative of the ghost painting and the supernatural, holding an old machete in his hand...
