Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 131 Fang Shiming, died!
"Ghost Scissors!"

Li Hui's gaze flickered as he looked at the old object inside the golden box. He then reached into the box and picked up the strange pair of scissors.

Almost the instant Li Hui picked up the ghost scissors, the chilling aura around them intensified, and the already dim room became even darker.

"Tick-tock", "tick-tock", "tick-tock"...

Meanwhile, the sound of dripping water echoed around, and the stench of decay in the air grew stronger, accompanied by an extremely strong smell of blood.

Then, in this deepening darkness, several shadowy figures kept moving and gradually took shape, becoming the outlines of corpses.

The outlines of these corpses were incomplete; some shadowy figures were missing arms, some were missing heads, and some were missing legs. At this moment, these eerie, incomplete shadowy figures were constantly moving closer to Li Hui's location.

In addition, a pale human head had somehow appeared on the desk in front of Li Hui, with blood flowing continuously from the neck, gradually covering the entire desktop.

Even the ground beneath Li Hui's feet had changed; the original tiles had been replaced by a floor made of cold, soft corpses.

These strange phenomena appeared very abruptly. Even though Li Hui's ghostly domain enveloped the entire building, he did not notice any signs of their appearance. He only noticed them after the surrounding environment changed, as if these supernatural phenomena had always existed and the nature of the surrounding environment was actually just like that.

Li Hui didn't care about this.

Having read the original work, he knew very well.

These strange phenomena are all caused by terrible curses entangled in the Ghost Scissors. They are a kind of supernatural phenomenon. If the Ghost Scissors are used for too long, the vengeful spirits in these curses will invade reality and kill the user of the Ghost Scissors.

But this is only relative.

What would be a deadly supernatural curse to others, even to ghost tamers, is actually an enhancement of Li Hui's supernatural resources.

Imprisoning those vengeful ghosts within one's own ghost realm allows that realm to expand further; this is a characteristic of ghost painting supernatural phenomena.

Thinking of this, Li Hui's eyes lit up, and he quietly watched this scene unfold, even harboring a faint sense of anticipation.

As time goes by.

The strange phenomena around them became more and more numerous. Even though Li Hui only held the ghost scissors and then did nothing further, his actions still caused the ghost scissors' supernatural phenomena to emerge even more.

But at this moment.

Li Hui suddenly noticed that the area covered by his ghost domain had suddenly increased.

To be precise, a room in the building that was not originally covered by his ghost domain was suddenly invaded by his ghost domain at this moment.

That was a safe house located in the basement of the building.

The entire safe house is constructed from gold, making it strong enough to withstand any supernatural invasion, including the power of ghosts.

Originally, this safe house was a 'blank area' in Li Hui's ghost domain, but that was only relative to when it was completely closed. Once the door of the safe house was opened, it was like a hole had been broken in a completely closed space. At this time, the ashes that were flying everywhere could naturally drift in through the open door.

Yes.

It wasn't that Li Hui's ghost domain ignored the gold barrier and directly invaded; rather, the safe house beneath the Ping An Building had been deliberately opened, and a figure was standing inside the safe house, looking upwards at the building.

It was a completely withered body, like a corpse that had been dried out for a long time, with bloodshot eyes that filled the entire eye sockets, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

Although this person's overall appearance was very different from the corpse on the ground next to Li Hui, appearing thin and ferocious, their facial features were the same, so it was easy to identify the person instantly.

It was Fang Shiming's true form!

next moment.

A cold, damp wind suddenly swept through the safe house. It wasn't strong, but it carried a strange, stench of decay, which caused the ashes falling from the air to change their direction, as if they were drifting away in other directions.

But that's about it.

The wind came suddenly and disappeared just as abruptly, like a fleeting moment, vanishing almost instantly upon appearing.

The gust of cold wind just now was not an ordinary wind, but a manifestation of the supernatural. It was one of the vengeful spirits controlled by Fang Shiming, and also a ghostly domain possessed by him.

However, given the terrifying nature of the ghost wind, it was naturally impossible for it to contend with the seventy percent of the ghost painting supernatural power controlled by Li Hui, so it was completely suppressed in an instant.

In Li Hui's view.

If we take Yang Jian's Ghost Eye as the unit of measurement, then Fang Shiming's Ghost Wind Ghost Domain is probably around the strength of a fifth-level Ghost Domain, which is enough to completely affect reality. Otherwise, he would not have been able to survive Ye Zhen's attack, not to mention that in the original work he once said that he could invade the Ghost Messenger's Ghost Domain.

However, this level of ghostly energy is still insufficient in the face of the ghost paintings that resemble the real world, unless something like will-o'-the-wisps naturally counters the ghost paintings.

Thinking.

Before Fang Shiming could reach the top floor of the building by any other means, Li Hui went to greet him directly. Amidst the drifting gray ashes, his figure vanished from his spot and appeared in front of Fang Shiming.

"Did you kill my 'clone'?" Fang Shiming asked with a slightly solemn expression as he looked at Li Hui, who suddenly appeared, resembling a terrifying corpse.

Although he already had a guess in his heart, or even a certainty, he still asked the question.

The supernatural power that Li Hui displayed terrified him.

Fang Shiming knew better than anyone how terrifying the ghost wind he controlled was, yet this terrifying ghost was suppressed by Li Hui's ghost domain in an instant.

And then there's Li Hui's attitude.

It's not about my attitude towards him, but rather my attitude towards the paranormal phenomena around us.

The longer Li Hui held the ghost scissors, the more terrifying and dense the supernatural phenomena around him became. However, Fang Shiming did not see even the slightest bit of panic on Li Hui's face, as if he did not care about those supernatural phenomena at all.

Even Fang Shiming himself wouldn't dare to ignore supernatural phenomena like this when using the Ghost Scissors, and wouldn't dare to use the scissors for a long time, otherwise even he would be in danger.

That's why, when Li Hui appeared directly in front of Fang Shiming with the ghost scissors, Fang Shiming didn't attack him immediately. Instead, he wanted to see if the two sides could 'reconcile'.

Fang Shiming would never have acted this way before, but after meeting Dahai City, that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) kid, some of his habits changed.

Fang Shiming's physical condition is not good at the moment. If he were to face a top-level ghost tamer whose background is unknown but who is exceptionally powerful, he would not have much confidence.

Let’s take a step back.

Given his current physical condition, if he were to actually fight, and failed to defeat his opponent in the shortest possible time, he himself might very well die from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost.

After all, if you don't fight with such a top-tier ghost tamer, you'll definitely be the one who dies if you don't fight with all your might, so if you really have to fight, you have to use your full strength.

Here.

Li Hui did not respond, but his gaze suddenly turned cold, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

Seeing this, Fang Shiming already knew what was going on. He then sat down on the ground and looked up at Li Hui from an upward angle.

In an instant.

Li Hui felt his body become heavy, as if he were carrying something on his back. Then, as if he had thought of something, he glanced at his shoulders.

as predicted.

At this moment, a cold corpse was lying on his shoulder. It was a vengeful ghost, and its level of terror was also very high. If it were a living person, it would be crushed to death. Even a real vengeful ghost would be suppressed!

At the same time, Fang Shiming said, "Although you are not weak, you are too confident, so you are destined to die by my hand today!"

As he said this, Fang Shiming twisted his neck and shoulders, seemingly enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.

After all, Fang Shiming had to carry that vengeful ghost on his back every day, so naturally he would feel tired. This can be seen from his thin, almost dried-up body.

"A ghost that oppresses people?"

the other side.

Li Hui looked calmly at the vengeful ghost on his shoulder, and information about the ghost gradually surfaced in his mind.

The pattern of this vengeful ghost's killings is very simple: anyone taller than it will be directly attacked by the ghost.

Once Fang Shiming controlled it, it became a creature that would target and attack anyone taller than him.

Li Hui was already taller than Fang Shiming, and now Fang Shiming was sitting directly on the ground. In addition, there were only Li Hui and Fang Shiming around, so Li Hui was undoubtedly targeted by this vengeful ghost.

"There's no need to look anymore. This vengeful ghost is different from the others. There's no limit to the number of these ghosts. As long as you can't carry them, no matter how many ghosts you control, they will all be weakened to some extent and then crushed to death by it!"

Seeing Li Hui scrutinizing him, Fang Shiming couldn't help but speak in a cold tone.

He wasn't kindly pointing out some patterns to Li Hui's ability to control ghosts; he was simply stating a fact, because Fang Shiming believed that Li Hui, with his top-tier ghost-controlling skills, would soon discover such patterns.

But discovering something is one thing; being able to effectively deal with it is another.

Even Ye Zhen, with his delusional disorder, has been crushed to death more than once, so Fang Shiming doesn't believe Li Hui can withstand such an attack.

"It's not weak in terms of terror, but that's all it can do. Most other ghost tamers at this stage probably wouldn't be able to withstand an attack of this level, but it's not enough to suppress me!"

talking.

Li Hui began to take action.

He held the ghost scissors in one hand, and with the other hand, he reached out to grab the vengeful ghost behind him.

The 30% bus ghost not only blocked the ghost's supernatural attack on him, but also successfully suppressed it.

pat!

Li Hui's hand gripped the man-suppressing ghost's neck, and then effortlessly, as if lifting a dead dog, he pulled it off his shoulder and held it in his hand.

"Are you kidding me? How could this be?!"

Upon seeing this, Fang Shiming's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the oppressive ghost he was controlling had been so easily suppressed.

Is the oppressive ghost weak?
The answer is definitely no.

If the oppressive ghost were truly so weak, how could it have tormented Fang Shiming to the point of being unrecognizable? It would have been perfectly under his control long ago. There would be no need for him to sit down and act inferior before allowing the vengeful ghost to attack him.

Yet, this terrifying ghost was like a chick in Li Hui's hands, utterly powerless to resist. Not only did it fail to affect him, but it was also instantly suppressed.

This situation had a significant impact on Fang Shiming's worldview. In his view, Li Hui was even more terrifying than the old man who was known as the "Number One Ghost Tamer in Dajing City"!
"It seems this is all you can do. In that case, you might as well die." Li Hui's tone was indifferent, and he looked at Fang Shiming as if he were looking at a dead man.

To tell the truth.

Fang Shiming was never taken seriously by Li Hui. The only thing he was somewhat wary of was the Ghost Scissors, which Li Hui now held in his own hands. Fang Shiming posed no threat to him whatsoever.

This is not to say that Fang Shiming is too weak. In fact, among the new generation of ghost tamers, Fang Shiming's strength is among the top. But unfortunately, the person he is facing is Li Hui.

Ghost Wind's ghost realm was countered by Ghost Painting's supernatural power, and the oppressive ghost was no match for the supernatural power of the bus... Therefore, Fang Shiming's defeat was destined from the very beginning!
"Who exactly are you?" Fang Shiming stared intently at Li Hui with bloodshot eyes, a hint of madness in his gaze.

A ghost tamer of this caliber could not have appeared out of nowhere. Therefore, Fang Shiming believed that Li Hui must have been famous in the paranormal community before, but he had never met him.

At the same time, he was also very curious about what grudge the other party had against their circle of friends. It couldn't possibly be that they came here just for that pair of ghost scissors, could it?
But his question was destined to remain unanswered.

Li Hui showed no intention of speaking, his gaze remaining cold, as if he couldn't be bothered to say another word to a corpse.

at the same time.

An old object, concealed by a layer of ashes, rapidly approached Fang Shiming. It was a rusty coffin nail stained with blood.

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp weapon entering the body rang out.

The sharp end of the coffin nail pierced directly into Fang Shiming's body, sinking deep inside, leaving only the other end still outside.

This is not over yet.

next moment.

As the surrounding gray paper ash grew denser, a figure appeared out of nowhere in this ghostly realm filled with paper ash.

It was a man who looked exactly like Li Hui, holding an old wood-chopping knife in his hand, and was walking step by step toward Fang Shiming's location...
