Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 143 Li Hui Makes a Move
The ashes of paper drifted in the air, and the gloom spread...

A hazy, ghostly light emerged from the Ping An Hotel and then spread rapidly towards the outskirts of Dajing City at an incredible speed.

obviously.

Li Hui accepted the business trip assignment from headquarters and began his mission to deal with the ghost messengers who had escaped from the research base.

In a sense.

The Ghost Riders headquarters is practically begging to give Li Hui 'money' this time, because even if the headquarters didn't mention this so-called 'business trip mission,' Li Hui would still take action.

Because the ghost messenger himself was his target!

As he acted, information about ghost messengers involuntarily surfaced in Li Hui's mind. Of course, this was not the information provided to him by the Ghost Master Headquarters, but rather information about ghost messengers that he himself was familiar with.

In the original setting.

The Ghost Messenger is an extremely special vengeful ghost, far surpassing other vengeful ghosts such as the Starving Ghost. It is the 'strongest vengeful ghost' personally acknowledged by the original author, without exception!

However, from the perspective of the plot, the performance of the ghost messengers can be described as extremely poor. However, this is not because they are incapable, but because whenever a ghost messenger develops to a certain level, they are cut down and then start all over again.

This can be seen from Chen Qiaoyang's reaction when he saw the 'ghost painting' and 'ghost messenger' in Li Jun's hand after escaping from the Wang family's old house. Chen Qiaoyang not only knew about the ghost painting incident, but also knew about the existence of the ghost messenger.

According to Chen Qiaoyang at the time, the coffin was very ominous. In his era, some people tried to deal with the ghost coffin incident, but in the end, many people died. Obviously, Chen Qiaoyang was referring to the ghost tamer.

Given the characteristics of ghost messengers, the vengeful spirits inside the bodies of those who died as ghost tamers would definitely be contained by them. Therefore, the level of terror of ghost messengers at that time was already very high, and the number of vengeful spirits they could suppress would probably be an extremely terrifying number.

However, when Yang Jian first encountered the ghost coffin incident, which was the Huanggang Village incident, the ghost messengers could only suppress one fierce ghost at the beginning, which means that the ghost messengers at that time had already been 'cut down'.

Think of this.

Li Hui made a mental judgment about the ghost messenger.

"Potential can be considered the ceiling, but it's either preparing to develop or on the way to develop, so it's impossible to truly grow up. This is true in any era!"

"In the original story, it encountered the protagonist Yang Jian and Gui Hua. In Chen Qiaoyang's era, it was also dealt with by an unknown ghost tamer. If the Ghost Coffin existed since the Republican era and had caused supernatural events, then what was its fate..."

Li Hui even speculated.

The raw material for coffin nails is very likely the ghost messenger, or even a part of it!

After all, coffin nails... ghost coffins... and that mindless suppression ability, coupled with the ghost messengers who were beheaded at different times, it doesn't seem like they're completely unrelated.

of course.

This is just Li Hui's own speculation.

Whether this is the actual situation or not, Li Hui dared not draw any conclusions, after all, this plot hole was not filled even after the original work was completed...

While thinking.

The architectural outline of the training base had already come into Li Hui's view.

With the current strength and range of his ghost domain, he could travel from the Ping An Hotel in the city to the mountains on the outskirts of the city in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the entire training base was shrouded in pitch black darkness, which appeared to be square when viewed from above.

If you look closely, you'll see that it's shaped like a coffin lid!
"I wonder how many people have died in the training base now, and how many slots have been filled by the ghost messengers."

In fact, if Li Hui wanted to, he could have easily called Yang Jian and the others at the base to find out the current situation of the ghost messengers.

But he did not do that.

Firstly, the information Yang Jian and his group possessed might not be accurate, and secondly, there was absolutely no need for it!

When one's own strength reaches a certain level, then one has the right to act recklessly. At this stage, apart from those few from the Republic of China, the only one that Li Hui can take seriously is the captain.

As for the ghost messengers...

Its potential is enough to make Li Hui take notice, but to be honest, at this stage, Li Hui doesn't really consider it a threat!

Said without politeness.

As long as the ghost eye in Yang Jian's body is not taken away by the ghost messenger, so what if the entire training base is killed and only Yang Jian is left?

At most, there are only about twenty suppression slots. Apart from increasing the level of terror and some supernatural abilities, the strength of their own ghost domain will not change much. They will still be completely suppressed by Li Hui's 70% ghost painting supernatural power!

Moreover, the number of suppression slots for ghost messengers depends on the level of terror of the opponent. Otherwise, if the level of terror were not considered, wouldn't Wei Jing, who had nine suppression slots in the later stages, have been invincible long ago?
After all, Yang Jian at that time only possessed a few supernatural abilities.

These thoughts flashed through Li Hui's mind for only a moment before he began to act.

High in the sky, Li Hui stretched out his palm and slowly waved to the darkness that enveloped the training base below, as if he were greeting someone and beckoning them over.

As Li Hui waved, a terrifying supernatural power surged forth and acted upon that dark ghost realm.

next moment.

The ghostly domain that enveloped the training base began to distort for a moment, and at the same time, the area covered by the ghostly domain also began to change, drifting towards Li Hui's location.

Seeing this, Li Hui's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt satisfied with the supernatural phenomenon of the mummified bride attracting ghosts.

After all, compared to summoning ghosts, what's truly terrifying about the mummified bride is the supernatural power of holding hands. It's a death curse; if someone successfully holds your hand, the living person will die on the spot, and the vengeful ghost will be suppressed!

Then Li Hui stopped testing the waters and began to truly deal with the ghost messengers.

The gray haze stained the entire surrounding sky gray, and everything in reality was assimilated the moment it touched this gloom, its colors fading, becoming part of this ghostly realm.

Then this hazy, illusory world enveloped the darkness below, attempting to engulf the ghost messenger's ghost realm.

To put it more accurately, Li Hui wanted to pull the ghost messenger's ghost domain into his own. If he succeeded, the two ghost domains would collide, leading to two possible outcomes.

One type is a weak ghost domain that is suppressed to the point of being completely unusable; the other type is a ghost domain that can be used, but it will cause mutual interference and cannot reach its normal state.

soon.

Li Hui's ghost domain descended, and the most primal supernatural collision between the two ghost domains officially began!

However, the moment the gray ghost realm collided with the black ghost realm, the result showed a one-sided trend.

The area covered by the black ghost domain shrank by half in an instant, clearly unable to withstand the suppression of the gray ghost domain.

Seeing this, Li Hui was not surprised at all. This one-sided situation was exactly what he expected. After all, the difference between the two was obvious. Seventy percent of the ghost painting's supernatural power was enough for him to suppress the ghost messenger without any effort!
next moment.

As Li Hui's Ghost Domain continued to suppress the area, the range covered by the Ghost Messenger's Dark Ghost Domain became smaller and smaller, and the scenery inside the Ghost Domain also began to change gradually.

The scene, which was originally pitch black, gradually became clearer. The inky darkness was fading away, or rather, the darkness was hiding. Everything in the ghost realm was changing.

Houses appeared out of thin air one after another, settling in this ghostly realm and gradually forming the shape of a village. At the very front of these houses, at the entrance to the village, stood a sign with three characters written on it.

Huanggang Village!
at the same time.

The changes in the ghost messengers were immediately noticed by the ghost tamers still alive in the ghost realm.

"What's going on now? The training base has turned into a mountain village in an instant, and the ghost's domain has undergone new changes. Is this situation good or bad for us?"

in the crowd.

A beautiful woman, probably in her early twenties, with long, black hair cascading down her back, spoke in a deep voice.

Her name is Huang Ziya. She is one of the ghost tamers participating in this training at the training base. Shortly after the ghost messenger incident broke out, she received a message from headquarters and gathered with Yang Jian, who had failed to escape.

"Who knows? But I don't think this change in environment will be good news for us. Maybe some of the patterns we've figured out will become invalid."

On the other side, Zhang Lei spoke with a gloomy face, his tone filled with obvious unease. His eyes kept scanning the buildings that had appeared out of nowhere, as if he was afraid that something might suddenly rush out from inside.

"Could the rules be changing? Does that mean the vengeful ghost will no longer only attack people who are alone, but also those who are not alone could be attacked?"

Hear the words.

The others all changed their expressions drastically.

Those who are still alive have deeply experienced the terror of that vengeful ghost. They are almost powerless to resist it and can only follow the ghost's killing rules to avoid attacks and prevent themselves from being alone.

These rules were communicated to them by headquarters, which is why the group of Ghost Tamers who were originally planning to escape alone reunited.

However, during their reunion, quite a few people were killed by the ghost messengers, which further increased the terror level of the ghost messengers.

No one knows the upper limit of the number of ghost messengers, or how many ghost controllers need to gather together to avoid being alone. They can only try to gather the surviving people together to avoid being attacked by vengeful ghosts.

"Damn it, does that mean we're in danger again?"

In this oppressive atmosphere, someone couldn't help but complain: "Also, didn't headquarters say they had already arranged support? Why haven't they arrived yet? Does anyone know anything about that guy named Hui? Is he reliable or not?"

I heard someone mention Li Hui.

Zhang Lei, who had spoken earlier, shifted his expression, his gloom lessening somewhat, and then replied, "Captain Li is very capable. Once he arrives, handling this paranormal event shouldn't be a problem."

"Indeed, I've heard of that Li Hui too!"

At this moment, another person spoke up: "As far as I know, he is currently the only person in headquarters who has successfully handled an S-level paranormal event. The recent uproar about the starving ghost incident in Dachang City was successfully resolved by Li Hui."

As he spoke, the man seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Yang Jian in the crowd, and then continued, "Speaking of starving ghosts, Yang Jian, you seem to be the person in charge of Dachang City, right?"

Hear the words.

Yang Jian, standing in the crowd, gave a soft "hmm" without turning his head, his face grim as he surveyed the buildings that had appeared out of nowhere.

He was very familiar with the scene in this village. It was just like Huanggang Village outside Dachang City. However, the real Huanggang Village no longer existed. What Yang Jian had entered before was just a supernatural manifestation of the ghost coffin. He almost died inside it!

"It seems my guess was right. This supernatural event is indeed related to the ghost coffin," Yang Jian thought to himself.

He had already guessed this the moment he saw the message from headquarters, but he wasn't entirely sure. Now, the scene in Huanggang Village confirmed his guess.

The only thing Yang Jian couldn't understand was why the vengeful ghost in the coffin had suddenly appeared here, and the changes in the surrounding scenery.

Logically, since the ghost's domain was previously dark, it should have been in that form. This sudden change is clearly abnormal.

Could it be that, as Zhang Lei just said, some unknown change has occurred to the vengeful ghost that escaped from the coffin?

The moment this thought crossed Yang Jian's mind, the surrounding environment changed once again.

Clumps of indistinct, grayish things began to drift down from the sky above the entire village, looking like ashes left behind after something had burned.

At first, the amount of paper ash falling was small, but soon the amount of gray paper ash increased rapidly, and from a distance it looked like a rain of paper ash.

"This is……?"

Yang Jian's expression clearly froze the moment he saw the ashes appear.

at the same time.

The ghost eye on his forehead closed up as if it had encountered some kind of nemesis, completely beyond Yang Jian's control.

No, it's not just the one on his forehead.

The moment the ashes fell and landed on Yang Jian, all the ghost eyes within his body went silent!
Soon, everyone present witnessed a truly shocking scene.

A huge gap was suddenly torn open in the darkness above the village, revealing the sky outside.

The first thing they saw was an endless gray scene, with ashes of paper floating everywhere.

At this moment, high in the sky, where the gloom was thickest and the dust of paper was densest, a person stood suspended in mid-air, looking down at the crowd below...
