Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 134 Conversation
"Li Hui?"

Upon hearing the staff's report, Cao Yanhua was taken aback, seemingly not expecting to hear that name.

"You mean, the person who attacked Ping An Building and killed Fang Shiming was Li Hui?"

At this moment, Cao Yanhua's mood calmed down, and a hint of doubt flashed across his solemn face, as if he hadn't expected Li Hui to do this.

If it really is Li Hui, he certainly has the ability to do this, but Cao Yanhua doesn't understand Li Hui's purpose in doing so.

"Yes."

A staff member nearby responded, "According to the investigation, Li Hui is indeed the most suspected person in the attack on Ping An Building."

"Many people saw the scene of Li Hui leaving the Ping An Building from the Ghost Domain, including Jiang Shangbai. He even sent a message to other Ghost Masters in his WeChat Moments, and that message was later posted online."

"According to Jiang Shangbai, the person who attacked Ping An Building was Li Hui. He personally witnessed Li Hui's departure and Fang Shiming's body..."

The staff member told them everything they knew.

Although he said 'Li Hui is currently the prime suspect' and not entirely certain, Cao Yanhua knew that with the Ghost Riders headquarters' investigative capabilities, they could basically draw a conclusion given the current situation, and there was no way they would be wrong.

Think of this.

Cao Yanhua had even more questions in his mind. He couldn't understand when Li Hui had made enemies with the people in his circle of friends. Logically speaking, this should have been Li Hui's first time in Dajing City, and the two sides should not have had any interaction before.

Then Cao Yanhua gestured for the staff to leave. After they left the office, he picked up the satellite positioning phone on the table and logged onto a website exclusive to the paranormal community.

as predicted.

The most popular post on the website right now is titled "Li Hui confronts the WeChat Moments, Fang Shiming has been killed," and there are also several other posts on similar topics, all of which are quite popular.

Cao Yanhua randomly clicked on one of the posts and started reading.

The poster's username was 'Elegy', and the post detailed how Li Hui had a conflict with his circle of friends, which escalated into a full-blown argument, ultimately leading to Li Hui killing Fang Shiming, the leader of his circle of friends.

The post was so detailed and vivid, as if the poster had witnessed it firsthand, but Cao Yanhua left the post with a strange expression because he knew the content was untrue.

Cao Yanhua then looked at several more posts with similar topics, and finally stopped at a post by a person who claimed to be a member of his WeChat Moments.

The poster's name was Chen Lin. Compared to the previous ones, the information posted by this person was relatively truthful in Cao Yanhua's opinion. He not only described the general course of events but also stated that he would sever ties with his circle of friends. In addition, he also posted two screenshots.

The first screenshot shows a message the poster received from someone named "General Manager Fang." The message was brief and was a request for help. The second screenshot is also a message page. Chen Lin had saved the message to Jiang Shangbai. The message was about Fang Shiming's death and that Li Hui was the murderer.

There were many comments under this post, with all sorts of opinions. Some admired Li Hui's abilities, while others subtly criticized the lack of ability in his circle of friends. There were also a few comments saying that Li Hui was disrupting the balance of the paranormal community, but there were only a handful.

After reading part of the post, Cao Yanhua exited the paranormal website, opened his contacts, found the contact's number, and dialed it...

at the same time.

the other side.

Li Hui had just returned to the Ping An Hotel when he received a call from the Ghost Tamer headquarters. The caller was none other than Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua.

"Was it exposed so quickly?"

Looking at the caller ID, Li Hui felt a slight unease. He knew that Cao Yanhua's call at this time was most likely about Fang Shiming and the others on his WeChat Moments.

He didn't seem to feel anything about it.

He never intended to hide what happened on his WeChat Moments, otherwise he wouldn't have used the Ghost Domain's abilities to carry out such a high-profile operation. What he didn't expect was that he would be discovered so quickly.

of course.

Cao Yanhua's call at this moment might just be a way to get Li Hui to go on a business trip and investigate the situation at Ping An Building, but Li Hui felt that this possibility was unlikely.

"Hey?"

While thinking.

Li Hui pressed the answer button.

Soon, Vice Minister Cao Yanhua's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Li Hui, I won't ask you anything more. I just want to know if you killed Fang Shiming, who was on WeChat Moments?"

"I did it!"

Li Hui immediately admitted, "I was indeed the one who attacked Ping An Building and killed Fang Shiming. I also killed several Ghost Masters from my WeChat Moments."

There was absolutely no need to hide anything. Li Hui was confident that his current strength was enough to handle many troubles, and he was completely unafraid of other ghost tamers in his circle of friends seeking revenge.

Before Cao Yanhua could respond, Li Hui continued, "As far as I know, Fang Shiming is a wolf in sheep's clothing and a cancer to the Ghost Riders headquarters. His death would be entirely beneficial to the headquarters. Did you call this specifically to thank me?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yanhua on the other end of the phone stammered, forgetting much of what he had planned to say.

Then he sighed and said, "Forget it, he's already dead. There's no point in saying anything more. It's true that the circle of friends doesn't follow the headquarters rules, just as you said. But now that Fang Shiming is dead, other members of the circle of friends might come after you. You have to be careful."

Hear this.

Li Hui, who was in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Ping An Hotel, couldn't help but laugh. He was not afraid of retaliation from his friends on social media. In fact, he was happy that more ghost tamers on social media would come to seek revenge, which would increase the number of vengeful ghosts in his ghost realm.

Thinking it over, Li Hui bluntly said, "If anyone in my WeChat Moments wants revenge, feel free to come. I don't mind killing a few more people then!"

"..."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

At this moment, Li Hui glanced at the time and found that it was already 10:30 pm. After washing up quickly, he sat on the edge of the bed and took out the ghost scissors again to examine them.

The moment Li Hui took out the old, eerie scissors, the light in the entire room suddenly dimmed, the room lights became extremely dim, and even the temperature dropped significantly. At the same time, a rotten stench began to spread around.

This is not over yet.

As Li Hui observed for a longer period of time, those strange and supernatural phenomena reappeared, and a chilling aura even penetrated the door and walls, spreading outside the suite.

29th floor of Ping An Hotel.

Yang Jian, who was resting in bed, suddenly opened his eyes. To be precise, the Ghost Eyes he controlled suddenly opened at this moment. His scarlet eyes darted around a few times before looking up at the ceiling.

"What's going on? The ghost eye's supernatural power is clearly very stable, showing no signs of reviving. But in this situation, could it be that other supernatural entities have appeared around us?"

A hint of suspicion flashed across Yang Jian's face.

But on second thought, it seemed unlikely.

After all, this is Dajing City, and the Ping An Hotel was specially prepared for the headquarters' ghost tamers. All aspects are strictly controlled, and even the hotel staff are specially trained combat personnel. The probability of a supernatural event breaking out in such a place should not be high.

Apart from Yang Jian on the 29th floor.

Other ghost tamers on other floors of the Ping An Hotel also sensed something was wrong, but they didn't act as calmly as Yang Jian; each of them had an undisguised expression on their face.

Li Hui was unaware of these people's reactions. At this moment, he was still researching the Ghost Scissors, while the topic of him continued to ferment and the heat continued to rise.

On paranormal websites.

Posts about Li Hui are springing up like mushrooms after rain, not only about the battle between Li Hui and his circle of friends tonight, but also about many of his past deeds being dug up.

Time passed by minute by minute.

soon.

It was 11 p.m. when the time came.

At this moment, Li Hui put the ghost scissors back into the golden box, ignoring the supernatural phenomena in the room as if he hadn't noticed them at all, and wasn't in a hurry to deal with the vengeful ghosts in the supernatural curses.

The moment the golden box was closed again, all the supernatural phenomena disappeared, the room suddenly became bright again, and the stench vanished completely.

After finishing all this, Li Hui lay down on the bed, intending to rest for the night and recover his mental state before dealing with the follow-up matters the next day.

I learned a lot tonight.

Not only did they successfully obtain the Ghost Scissors, but the vengeful spirits controlled by Fang Shiming and the others were also imprisoned in Li Hui's ghost realm.

Zhou Shangwen and Zhang Song were not a problem, but Fang Shiming's true form and the Deceitful Ghost inside Gao Zhiqiang's body were enough to attract Li Hui's attention.

The former is because the vengeful ghost inside Fang Shiming is terrifying enough, while the latter is because the supernatural power of the deceitful ghost is complex enough.

In addition, there are wish ghosts.

In some ways, the Wish Ghost and the Deceitful Ghost are a very 'perfect' combination of vengeful spirits. Their supernatural interactions allow a ghost tamer to utilize their supernatural powers to the maximum extent.

.........

time flies.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

The next day arrived quickly. The surroundings outside the window were bright, the darkness had receded, and Li Hui woke up in his bed.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Just then, a knock came from outside the door.

Upon hearing the noise, Li Hui first dozed off for a moment, then got out of bed and opened the door.

The first thing that caught his eye was an ordinary-looking young man with a stiff smile on his face, standing there eerily like a corpse, staring at Li Hui.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Lei. I am also a member of the Ghost Rider Headquarters. I heard that Li Hui, codenamed 'Ghost Painting,' lives here, so I came to pay a visit out of curiosity. I hope I have not caused you any inconvenience."

Zhang Lei looked at Li Hui, who was clearly a few years younger than him, and said this.

He had seen Li Hui's file, so he recognized him at a glance.

He hadn't slept well since returning home last night, looking forward to his conversation with Li Hui today, hoping to find a way to delay the resurgence of his own vengeful spirit.

As Yang Jian had said before, the person who actually handled the starving ghost incident in Dachang City was Li Hui. Even the vengeful ghost that was the source of that S-level incident was still in Li Hui's hands and had not been handed over to headquarters. Therefore, Zhang Lei was very much looking forward to talking with Li Hui.

His codename is Ghost Eater!
Like the Hungry Ghost, an S-level supernatural event in Dachang City, it has the ability to devour other vengeful ghosts, but the price is also huge. After only using its ability a few times, the vengeful ghost in Zhang Lei's body was already on the verge of revival.

"You've come to inquire about the starving ghost incident, haven't you?"

Without any pleasantries or small talk, Li Hui got straight to the point.

“I’ve seen your file, Zhang Lei, the Ghost Eater. He does resemble the Starving Ghost, but there’s a big difference. His vengeful spirit can devour other vengeful spirits without any side effects, while you can’t.”

Li Hui looked at Zhang Lei and continued, "Given your current physical condition, the vengeful ghost will probably revive soon, right?"

"Indeed it is."

Zhang Lei nodded helplessly, a bitter smile appearing on his face. However, because his facial expression was too stiff, his smile looked very unnatural and rather strange.

Li Hui observed this and, after a moment's thought, said, "Headquarters will soon launch the Captain Program, and I have already confirmed that I will become a captain."

"Each team leader is qualified to form a Ghost Tamer squad. Would you be interested in joining my squad?"

to be frank.

Zhang Lei is quite powerful, and the terrifying ghost within him is also quite formidable. In the original story, Yang Jian had extended olive branches to him multiple times, and now that Li Hui has encountered him, he naturally wants to recruit him as well.

After all, it's impossible to handle everything personally in the future, so it's necessary to recruit some capable subordinates.

As for loyalty...

With the ghost newspaper in hand, Li Hui didn't need to think about this matter for the time being.

"The Captain's Plan? The Ghost Tamer Squad?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei was visibly taken aback.

Then he said, "If what you say is true, then after joining your team, I will inevitably have a lot of contact with vengeful spirits, right? But given my current physical condition..."

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Before Zhang Lei could finish speaking, Li Hui interrupted, "I naturally have a way to solve your physical condition and the problem of the revival of the vengeful spirit. This is one of the benefits of joining my team. I think among all the team leaders, only I can do this."

The unusually calm tone resonated in Zhang Lei's mind like a thunderclap.

"Wait...you mean, you have a way to solve the problem of other people's vengeful spirits resurrecting?" Zhang Lei stared at Li Hui with wide eyes, as if to confirm whether he had misheard.

"Yes, you heard me right. I do have a way to delay the resurgence of your vengeful spirits."

Li Hui's words were full of confidence.

He might not have been able to do it before, but after killing Gao Zhiqiang and obtaining the Deceitful Ghost from his body, Li Hui was confident that he could do it!
