Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 135 Heading to Dazhou City

In Li Hui's view, one of the biggest reasons why the vengeful spirits controlled by ghost tamers can revive is that their physical condition is too poor and they have been attacked by supernatural forces, so their physical condition no longer meets the requirements for the vengeful spirits to 'reside'. Therefore, the vengeful spirits in their bodies will gradually revive.

This point has also been confirmed in the original work.

For example, in the original novel, after Yang Jian obtained the Deceitful Ghost, he helped Huang Ziya deal with the resurgence of the vengeful ghost by restoring her body to its healthiest state, so that the vengeful ghost within her would remain dormant and thus prevent the vengeful ghost she was controlling from reviving.

However, when it comes to the deceitful ghost, the definition of this vengeful ghost in the original work is rather vague.

According to the original author's setting, the Deceitful Ghost's ability seems to be able to deceive only humans and not other vengeful ghosts, but its actual performance seems to conflict with its own setting.

Besides physical condition, another reason for the resurgence of vengeful spirits in a ghost tamer is that the balance of supernatural forces within their body has been disrupted. However, this situation mostly occurs in ghost tamers who have controlled more than two vengeful spirits.

As the frequency of the resurgence of a particular vengeful spirit within them increases, the intensity of the supernatural power increases, the supernatural balance is gradually broken, and eventually all the vengeful spirits within them will be resurged.

of course.

The root cause of the resurgence of vengeful spirits is actually the excessive use of supernatural power by the spirit tamer!

The more often the ghost wielder uses the power of the vengeful spirit within them, the shorter the time it takes for the spirit to revive. This process is akin to gradually awakening something that has been dormant...

.........

“Alright, Captain Li, I admit your offer is tempting. Joining your Ghost Tamer team would temporarily delay the resurgence of your own vengeful spirit, which is indeed very appealing. However, I hope you can give me some time to seriously consider it, as this is no small matter.”

Inside the presidential suite of the Ping An Hotel.

Zhang Lei looked at Li Hui with a complicated expression and said...

Just now.

He almost instinctively wanted to accept Li Hui's invitation.

The ability to delay the awakening of the vengeful spirit within a demon tamer seems to be something even headquarters cannot achieve.

As far as Zhang Lei knows.

The method currently used by the Ghost Masters headquarters to delay the resurgence of the vengeful spirits within Ghost Masters seems to be to have the Ghost Master control a second vengeful spirit, thereby achieving a kind of supernatural balance and temporarily slowing down the resurgence of the vengeful spirits within the Ghost Master's body.

According to what Li Hui just said, he seems to have a way to solve this problem without other ghost tamers having to control other vengeful spirits.

Although Zhang Lei didn't know exactly what Li Hui's method was, the fact that he could do this undoubtedly demonstrated how terrifying Li Hui was. If he wanted to use this to win over the ghost tamers, many people would likely respond and be willing to become his subordinates.

After all, for ghost controllers like them, the biggest problem is the resurgence of vengeful ghosts. If someone can solve this problem, the landscape of the paranormal world will be rewritten in an instant!

Think of this.

Zhang Lei's expression became even more complicated.

He wasn't sure what Li Hui's true purpose was, but one thing he was clear about was that, given the abilities Li Hui was currently displaying, he was very likely not to be restricted by headquarters in the future. However, Zhang Lei had no intention of going against the Ghost Riders headquarters.

That's why, when reason prevailed over impulse, he didn't immediately accept Li Hui's invitation, but instead planned to go back and think it over carefully.

On the other side of the room, Li Hui nodded and said, "Okay, just give me an answer before the headquarters meeting ends."

He only valued Zhang Lei's abilities, believing that bringing him under his command would be helpful for future operations, but that was all. After all, Zhang Lei was not irreplaceable; Li Hui was merely recruiting subordinates, not begging for help.

The opportunity has been presented; whether Zhang Lei can seize it depends on himself. Li Hui will not force him to do anything.

"Okay, Captain Li, I'll head back to my room now." Zhang Lei said goodbye and prepared to leave.

When he learned from Li Hui that the Ghost Tamer Headquarters was about to launch the 'Captain Project' and that Li Hui had already taken a captain's spot, he started calling Li Hui 'Captain Li'.

Although Zhang Lei was still a newcomer to the paranormal world and didn't know much about the so-called "Captain Project," the meaning of the "Captain" and the information Li Hui had mentioned about forming a Ghost Tamer team made the implications of the Captain Project quite clear.

"Ah."

Li Hui's expression remained unchanged. He watched Zhang Lei's figure disappear into the elevator door, and then he closed the door again.

at the same time.

Yang Jian, who was staying on the 26th floor of the hotel, also left his room and came outside the hotel. He then got into a car sent by headquarters and drove towards the research building where Wang Xiaoming was located.

One of his purposes in coming to Dajing City this time was to see Wang Xiaoming.

Yang Jian's body had problems, and his resurrection was not perfect. It seemed that Wang Xiaoming had already seen this before and even pointed it out, telling Yang Jian to come to Dajing City to find him. So Yang Jian came.

He wanted to know if Wang Xiaoming really had a way to solve his problem. As for the method revealed by the human skin paper, Yang Jian didn't want to follow the information provided by the human skin paper unless absolutely necessary.

He knew all too well that every plan involving the human skin paper contained a terrible trap, and that if he made even one mistake, the price he would pay would be his own life.

In this situation, Yang Jian would prioritize any other method that could solve his problem.

soon.

As the car moved forward, it quickly left the city and arrived in the suburbs.

"According to the message sent by Liu Xiaoyu, Wang Xiaoming's research building is adjacent to the headquarters' training base and is located in a mountain on the outskirts of the city."

inside the car.

Yang Jian was quickly scrolling through the information on his phone.

Those were all sent by his personal operator, Liu Xiaoyu, and contained a lot of information about headquarters, such as the locations of some special buildings, the headquarters' main camp, etc.

"That should be it."

At this moment, Yang Jian looked up and saw a cluster of buildings in front of him. There weren't many buildings, but it was unusual for such a cluster of buildings to appear in the mountains, since this was Dajing City, not some other city.

Looking at other cities in China, it's normal to have buildings and people living in mountainous areas, but it's quite unusual to see this in Beijing.

As Yang Jian pondered, the car drew closer to the building, and the view became clearer.

There was a sunshade on the open ground outside the research building. There were two people inside. One of them was sitting and seemed to be eating something, while the other was standing behind him.

"Wang Xiaoming!"

Although Yang Jian couldn't see the face of the person sitting and eating due to the angle, the person's distinctive white coat and the presence of Li Jun standing guard beside him clearly identified him.

At this time.

The sound of brakes was heard.

Yang Jian's car stopped in the open space outside the research building. Yang Jian then opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the sunshade where Wang Xiaoming was.

You're late.

As Yang Jian approached, Wang Xiaoming glanced at the time beside him and said, "You should know that I don't have much free time. You are nine minutes and thirty seconds late for your appointment, which is almost ten minutes late. This is not like you."

"Then you should also know that nine o'clock in the morning is definitely rush hour in Dajing City. If you set the meeting time at that time, you must be patient while waiting!"

Yang Jian replied, "You should know that I'm the one stuck in traffic on the road, and even I'm not in a hurry. Why are you, someone sitting here eating breakfast, in such a hurry?"

As he spoke, Yang Jian sat down in the seat opposite Wang Xiaoming and then focused his gaze on the thing in Wang Xiaoming's hand.

It was a bowl of wontons that was already half eaten. The remaining half bowl was mostly soup, with only a few wontons left.

Hear the words.

Wang Xiaoming paused in his eating, glanced at Yang Jian, and said, "It seems my previous prediction was correct. Your resurrection wasn't perfect, and your body is starting to show signs of problems, isn't it?"

Although it was a question, his tone was extremely certain.

Then Wang Xiaoming continued, "A method like this couldn't have been your own idea, could it? It seems there's something mysterious around you. Can I see it?"

Although he had learned some information about human skin paper from Li Hui, Wang Xiaoming did not reveal it. He simply watched Yang Jian quietly, wanting to see his reaction.

as predicted.

When Wang Xiaoming said those words, he keenly noticed a slight change in Yang Jian's expression. Although Yang Jian quickly concealed it, Wang Xiaoming, who had been observing him, still noticed it.

"It seems Li Hui wasn't lying to me!"

Wang Xiaoming thought to himself, but his expression remained unchanged. He then continued, "Let's make a deal. You let me examine the thing around you that gave you the information for ten minutes, and I'll give you a red ghost candle. What do you say?"

ten minutes.

This is the optimal time that Wang Xiaoming calculated.

Too little time won't allow you to understand things in depth, while too much time can lead to knowing too much, which may also affect your judgment. Therefore, the optimal time is ten minutes!
"You seem to know a lot about the things around me?" Yang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.

But Wang Xiaoming ignored him, as if he hadn't noticed the danger in Yang Jian's words. He just stared at Yang Jian, while Li Jun, standing to the side, stared at Yang Jian warily.

Seeing this, Yang Jian glanced at him and continued, "Since you've noticed that I have a problem with my body, I'd like to know if you have a way to solve it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoming said, "I have also studied your method, but it is not as extreme as yours. By using the interaction between supernatural rules to create an anomaly, this is an extremely dangerous path for a ghost tamer."

"With an incomplete resurrection like yours, it's inevitable that your body will have problems. But it's not difficult to solve. We just need to make you a complete anomaly, or transform you into a true vengeful ghost!"

"Coincidentally, I'm currently conducting research in this area. If I could get some guidance from that thing you have, perhaps I could complete this experiment much faster..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly.

He wasn't sure if what Wang Xiaoming said was true, or if it was a fabricated topic he wanted to see the human skin paper.

"..."

The two then continued their conversation.

at the same time.

Having just finished washing up and eating the breakfast provided by the hotel, Li Hui also began his work.

A hazy, ghostly domain emanated from his body and stretched towards the distant horizon. Then, with a flash of light from the domain, Li Hui vanished from his spot.

He wanted to take care of his personal matters before the headquarters meeting began.

This matter is also related to Old Qin. Because of a conversation not long ago, Li Hui realized that those old monsters from the Republic of China era had noticed him, and it seemed that they did not have any hostility towards him.

As Qin Lao had previously said, Li Hui should go find Zhang Dong, and then the answers to many things would come to light.

Therefore, Li Hui planned to take advantage of his free time to visit the old Republican-era house where Zhang Dong lived, while Zhang Dong was still alive.

As for whether Zhang Dong will directly attack him because of this?

Li Hui felt that this possibility was unlikely.

Because Old Qin had no reason to lie to himself. With his strength, he was fully capable of killing Li Hui at that time, and there was no need for him to deliberately lure Li Hui to the supernatural place where Zhang Dong was to resolve the matter.

"If I remember correctly, the original novel said that Zhang Dong's old house from the Republican era was located in Dazhou City. It was a place that Old Qin specially chose for Zhang Dong decades ago, so that he could help Yang Jian and the others get rid of the captain during the national war!"

As Li Hui thought this, the hazy ghost domain flickered and transformed into a dark light, rapidly flying towards the location of Dazhou City.

Within the range that his ghost domain can cover.

In just a short while.

Li Hui then arrived in the airspace above Dazhou City.

At this moment, his ghostly aura enveloped the entire city, his gaze sweeping across as if searching for something.

Meanwhile, a hazy layer of paper ash kept falling, as if it were raining paper ash, but apart from Li Hui himself, no one else in the entire Dazhou City could see this scene.

obviously.

Li Hui concealed his ghost domain.

Given the current supernatural strength of his ghost realm, even the person in charge of Dazhou City cannot see through it, let alone the ordinary people in the city.

"found it!"

suddenly.

Li Hui's eyes lit up.

The next moment, his figure disappeared into the sky and appeared in front of a building in the city called 'Zhongtian Building'.

The building is surrounded by blocks and other high-rise buildings, and there is an open space in front of it where many electric vehicles are parked.

At this moment, Li Hui was standing on the side of the street not far from that open space, his eyes constantly scanning the building called 'Zhongtian Building'.
