Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 129 Airport
"Should be arriving soon?"

Okyo City Airport.

The Ghost Riders headquarters cordoned off an area for future use, and corresponding rescue personnel, such as medical staff and staff responsible for maintaining order, were ready to receive the passengers.

In addition, several more special people were sitting in the rest shed next to it.

There are four people in total.

All four were men. Three of them were ghost tamers, and the other was an ordinary person, Shen Liang, who was temporarily taking over the switchboard from Zhao Jianguo.

"Captain Shen, I heard that the person who handled this paranormal incident on the plane is named Li Hui, the one codenamed Ghost Painting?"

One of the three ghost tamers spoke up and asked.

The speaker was named Zhong Shan, a ghost tamer who controlled two fierce ghosts and was not considered weak in the current headquarters.

Upon hearing this, the other two ghost tamers also turned their attention to Shen Liang, who was in the lead. They were Chen Yi and Zhu Xing.

"Yes."

Shen Liang nodded and said, "Li Hui joined the headquarters not long ago. This incident happened suddenly, and his ghost domain is very large, so this mission fell to him."

He didn't bring up the matter of the travel expenses, but instead gave some basic information.

"By the way, I heard there was another Ghost Master on the plane, who is also the head of headquarters. If I remember correctly, it should be Yang Jian from Dachang City, right?"

At this moment, Zhu Xing spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Shan said, "I've heard of this Yang Jian. His code name is Ghost Eye. It seems that Professor Wang's younger brother, Wang Xiaoqiang, was killed by him, right in front of Professor Wang. And afterwards, he was completely unharmed. It seems that he is quite powerful."

Anyone who has had contact with Wang Xiaoming knows that Professor Wang likes to measure a person by their value. The fact that Yang Jian got away scot-free after killing Wang Xiaoqiang can only mean that Yang Jian is not insignificant in his eyes.

"That only shows that this newcomer named Yang Jian is not following the rules. Now that he's come to Dajing City, if he dares to cause trouble here, I'll let him know that there are different levels of Ghost Tamers."

Chen Yi, standing to the side, spoke with a gloomy expression, his tone revealing an inexplicable dangerous aura, making people feel a chill like a madman.

Moreover, his attire was also very strange.

Despite the sweltering heat, Chen Yi was dressed in thick clothes and wore a mask, seemingly trying to cover his body and mouth.

"I think so!"

At this point, Zhu Xing continued to speak, expressing his own opinion:

"Yang Jian was clearly on the plane, yet he still had to ask headquarters for help. What value could someone like that have? He's just a piece of trash!"

"He couldn't even keep an eye on the city he was in charge of, which ultimately led to the S-level paranormal event. It is said that the Hungry Ghost is a vengeful ghost that grows. If Yang Jian were truly capable, he could have imprisoned it before it grew up, but he didn't. This shows that this so-called Ghost Eye Yang Jian is a complete waste!"

From Zhu Xing's tone, it's clear that he doesn't have a good impression of Yang Jian, and could even be said to look down on Yang Jian completely.

But then he changed the subject and continued, "As for that Li Hui..."

"Although he only recently joined the Ghost Masters Headquarters, I've seen his file. He successfully lured the ghost painting overseas, handled the S-level paranormal incident in Dachang City, the recent Wan Ting Hotel incident, and this plane crash. His actions and abilities are truly admirable."

Although it was a compliment, his expression was even more gloomy than when Yang Jian was mentioned.

Not only Zhu Xing, but Zhong Shan, who was standing next to him, also looked unwell.

They all knew very well that, given Li Hui's current strength and achievements, joining headquarters at this time would essentially secure him a captain's position.

Especially Zhongshan.

He knew quite a bit about the upcoming captain program at headquarters, and that most of the spots were already reserved, leaving only about three spots for them, the Ghost Tamers, to fight for.

Now that Li Hui has suddenly appeared and taken up a spot, it means that there is one less spot for them to compete for.

This naturally made them, who were already not very confident, feel uncomfortable.

But Zhu Xing is right. Li Hui's strength and achievements are obvious to all. He is currently the only person in headquarters who has faced two supernatural events one after another and solved them both.

Although the ghost painting was not completely imprisoned, it was considered to have been dealt with from the moment it was taken abroad, since it did not break out within China, which is the most obvious point.

"Eh? This is..."

suddenly.

Everyone at the airport noticed something was wrong. The once clear sky suddenly darkened, and some faint, indistinct things began to fall from the sky.

It was clumps of paper ash.

At first, there was very little paper ash, but as time went on, the amount of paper ash falling increased at a visible rate. In just a short while, the entire sky was only gray, and all other colors seemed to have been assimilated.

"coming!"

The expressions of the several ghost riders in the rest shed changed slightly, and then they looked towards the distant horizon, where a passenger plane was flying towards them at an incredible speed.

No, it can't be called flying, it's teleportation, like a spatial jump. One second it was on the distant horizon, and the next second it appeared above the airport.

"What an extravagant mode of travel! The area covered by the ghost realm is unusually large, completely enveloping the airplane. They just flew all the way here like that. Aren't they afraid of the vengeful ghosts reviving?"

Zhu Xing's tone was filled with surprise.

Although Li Hui's file was enough to show how powerful he was, witnessing firsthand how he could travel directly using the Ghost Domain still seemed somewhat unbelievable to him.

Even more than that.

The gray ashes also carried other powerful supernatural elements, and he felt that the vengeful spirits he controlled within his body were being suppressed. This was the real reason that shocked Zhu Xing.

Before even seeing the person, the vengeful spirit he was controlling was already being suppressed. If he were to actually face off against Li Hui, wouldn't he not even have the right to fight?
While pondering, Zhu Xing turned to look at Chen Yi and Zhong Shan beside him and saw that they also had surprised expressions on their faces. Even Chen Yi's gloomy face, which always looked like everyone owed him millions, had changed.

next moment.

The plane, enveloped in a layer of gray paper dust, landed on the open space that had been sealed off by headquarters personnel in advance.

"Get ready to pick up the passenger!"

At this moment, Shen Liang, realizing what was happening, spoke into the walkie-talkie in his hand.

Then the staff who were already prepared got to work.

"This is... the airport in Dajing City?"

Inside the aircraft cockpit.

Yang Jian looked out the window thoughtfully. Although Li Hui had said before that he would use the Ghost Domain's ability to directly transfer the plane to the airport in Dajing City, he did not expect it to be so fast. They had arrived in the blink of an eye.

Although Yang Jian could do it himself, he was definitely not as fast as Li Hui. This meant that the opponent's ghost domain was not only stronger than his, but also had an unusually large range.

"Ghost Painting Li Hui, that's his code name. So, the code name of that terrifying ghost that passed through Dachang City was 'Ghost Painting'?"

Yang Jian glanced at Li Hui and then thought to himself.

Before this, he didn't know the code name of the vengeful ghost that had passed through Dachang City. He only knew that its level of terror was unexpectedly high. Judging from the range of the ghost domain at that time, it was probably an S-level terrifying vengeful ghost. It wasn't until Li Hui appeared that he realized that the code name of that vengeful ghost was very likely Ghost Painting.

Because Li Hui's code name is Ghost Painting!
Just like his own code name is Ghost Eye, basically the code names given by the Ghost Tamer Headquarters are all related to their own supernatural abilities. The supernatural being that Li Hui controlled was exactly the same as the vengeful ghost that passed through Dachang City back then, and the paper ash falling all over the sky did indeed look like the ashes left behind after the painting was burned.

"Let's go, it's already here."

The words fell.

Li Hui and Yang Jian vanished from the spot, leaving only the two captains and Luo Feng's corpse in the cockpit.

As for the wish ghost.

After successfully suppressing it, Li Hui took it into his ghost domain and confined it there. The terrifying supernatural phenomena continued to affect it, causing the supernatural forces within it to remain dormant.

Infinite derivation is no less powerful than rebooting; in some respects, this supernatural superposition ability is even more terrifying than rebooting!
After Li Hui and his companion left, the other passengers on the plane noticed something amiss and realized that the plane had landed at an airport. Although they were unsure which airport in China it was, it was undoubtedly good news for them.

Because the plane landed safely at the airport and there was no longer any risk of crashing, they knew that their lives were temporarily saved.

"Quick, open the cabin door and let me out! It's terrifying! I'll never fly again!"

"Yes, yes, open the hatch quickly!"

"..."

For a while.

The cabin was filled with chatter as all the passengers stood up, demanding that Wang Dong open the cabin door so they could disembark.

The plane was already haunted, and then signs of a crash appeared, which terrified the passengers. Now that the plane had finally landed safely, they naturally wanted to get off as soon as possible. Some of them were so traumatized that they said they would never fly again.

"Hello, this is Wang Dong... Okay..."

Here.

Upon receiving the order to open the door, the train police officer Wang Dong didn't hesitate and immediately opened the cabin door.

next moment.

Before everyone could disembark, a team of fully armed special agents boarded the plane. The leader shouted, "Everyone, please be quiet and don't cause any trouble!"

"There are still some potential dangers on the plane. Please cooperate with the investigation. No one is allowed to leave until the investigation is completed. Please line up in order and go to the designated inspection point ahead!"

Although the scene was somewhat chaotic, everyone wisely chose to cooperate and follow the staff's instructions when they saw that the staff were fully equipped with protective gear.

Just as the inspection was in full swing, Li Hui and Yang Jian appeared directly next to the rest shed where Shen Liang and the others were.

At this point, only Shen Liang, Zhong Shan, and Zhu Xing remained in the rest area, while Chen Yi joined the other staff in finishing up the aircraft.

Although Li Hui and Yang Jian had dealt with the vengeful ghost, no one was certain whether any other supernatural remnants might remain. While the possibility was slim—Li Hui's ghostly aura enveloped the entire plane, making it impossible for him to miss anything unusual—it was always better to be cautious, especially since this was Dajing City…

"Thank you for this operation!" Shen Liang stepped forward and said with a smile to Li Hui and Yang Jian.

"Don't bother with these formalities. This matter is not within my jurisdiction. I only intervened because the price offered by headquarters was reasonable. If you really want to thank me, then Captain Shen can just increase the reward a bit later."

Li Hui's expression remained unchanged, his face indifferent. He glanced at Shen Liang and then turned his gaze to Zhong Shan and Zhu Xing on the other side, but only glanced at them a few times before paying no more attention.

"Don't worry, Captain Li, you won't be shortchanged by a single penny of the travel expenses you were promised." Shen Liang's smile remained unchanged, but he didn't mention a word about increasing the compensation.

Li Hui had anticipated this and was not surprised. However, Zhong Shan and Zhu Xing, who were secretly watching their conversation from behind Shen Liang, suddenly paused, then looked at each other, both understanding each other's thoughts.

Shen Liang's use of "Captain Li" to address Li Hui was very informative and could prove a lot.

"As expected, Li Hui will immediately occupy a captain position as soon as he joins headquarters. Regardless of the power behind him, even setting aside his achievements, his own strength is enough to support all of this!"

Although they had expected it, hearing Shen Liang admit it himself still stirred a ripple in Zhong Shan and the other man's hearts. However, they were only somewhat envious, not jealous, because Li Hui truly deserved to be the captain!

"Alright, go ask Yang Jian about the details of this incident. He witnessed everything and knows more than I do. Just remember to send the travel expenses to the Ping An Hotel later."

Done.

Ignoring Shen Liang's reaction, Li Hui vanished from his spot, the hazy ghostly domain spreading towards the Ping An Hotel. In the blink of an eye, Li Hui was back in his room.

And the other side.

Yang Jian also shared the information he knew, from the initial encounter with the ghost-controller on the plane, to the deaths of passengers, and finally the confrontation between Li Hui and the vengeful ghost, describing it in great detail.

"You mean, that vengeful ghost has the ability to reset time, to make time in a certain area go back to ten minutes ago?"

As Yang Jian described the situation, Zhong Shan and the other man beside him could no longer sit still.

"How is this possible? I've never even heard of a ghost that can reverse time. Can supernatural power really do this?"

"And most importantly, this kind of vengeful ghost is practically unsolvable, probably not even qualifying as S-rank. Yet you guys managed to imprison such a terrifying ghost? This sounds like a fantasy story..."

Zhong Shan and Zhu Xing stared wide-eyed, their faces showing suspicion, but even more so, shock.

Yang Jian was not surprised at all by this.

Because Zhong Shan and the others' expressions now are just like his own back then.

The only difference is that Zhong Shan and the other person are now listening to their own account, while Yang Jian has witnessed everything that happened firsthand.
