Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 168 Gathering, Making a Move

"No wonder headquarters codenamed this paranormal event 'Ghost Temple Mummified Corpse,' it's quite close to the truth, at least on the surface: a dilapidated temple, a strange mummified corpse..."

Looking at the terrifying ghosts on the street in the distance, Li Hui thought to himself.

At this moment, the entire city was shrouded in his ghost domain, and nothing within the ghost domain could escape Li Hui's perception.

That's why, even though he was several streets away from the vengeful ghost, he could still clearly see everything.

Under Li Hui's gaze.

At this moment, the vengeful ghost was chasing a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties.

The man was wearing a special uniform from the Ghost Tamer headquarters, exuding a chilling aura. His eyes, in particular, were an eerie, ghostly green, like the eyes of a vengeful ghost. He was Xia Yu, the person in charge of Dasa City.

"His abilities are related to his eyes, but they are very well hidden. Even headquarters doesn't have any information about his abilities. His file only contains basic personal information, and he doesn't even have a code name. He seems to be a cautious person."

As Li Hui watched the middle-aged man fleeing in front of the mummified corpse, information about the man surfaced in his mind.

It was sent to him by Li Wanyu before they set off. It contained not only information about Xia Yu, the person in charge of Dasa City, but also the files of Cao Yang, Li Leping, and even the paranormal event itself, all of which were sent to his phone.

According to Li Wanyu, it is necessary to know yourself and your enemy, and at the very least, to have a certain understanding of the objectives of this operation.

Not only him, but Wei Jing must have received the same detailed information before setting off.

Li Hui had read that information, and he only glanced at the files about Cao Yang and Li Leping. After all, having read the original novel, he was very familiar with the two of them. He mainly wanted to check the information about the supernatural event and Xia Yu.

However, the information Li Wanyu gave him contained very little about Xia Yu. He only knew his name, age, and registered address, but there was no record of his abilities related to ghosts.

Li Hui knew that it wasn't that headquarters had erased the information about the vengeful spirit controlled by Xia Yu, but rather that Xia Yu himself had chosen to conceal it.

Such cases are not uncommon at headquarters. For example, Xu Feng from Xiaochun City, He Yin'er from Dayuan City, and Wang Chaling from Dadong City... In fact, their files concealed their supernatural abilities, and they didn't even have code names.

It can be said that more than half of the twelve captains have hidden their personal information. Their files only contain basic information and information about the paranormal events they have dealt with. As for information about their own abilities, the records are almost all zero. Many captains have not even chosen a code name.

While thinking.

Li Hui began his operation.

He vanished from his spot and reappeared on the street where the vengeful ghost was the next moment.

"Ok?"

the other side.

Upon seeing Li Hui suddenly appear on the street, Xia Yu, who was running, stopped abruptly, a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

"Are they support personnel from headquarters?"

Xia Yu, who was in constant communication with the Ghost Tamer headquarters, was well aware that the headquarters had dispatched powerful Ghost Tamers to provide support. The person who suddenly appeared on the street was very likely a support personnel from the headquarters, but he was not entirely sure, fearing that it might be some other supernatural phenomenon.

As Xia Yu cautiously approached, Li Hui's appearance came into view. His excellent physical condition undoubtedly told him that he was a living person.

"It seems there shouldn't be any mistake." Xia Yu thought to himself.

Then he shouted loudly in Li Hui's direction, "You're a support personnel sent by headquarters, right? My name is Xia Yu, and I'm in charge of this city."

"The vengeful ghost that caused this paranormal event is extremely terrifying. I have already reported the relevant information to headquarters, and I assume you have seen it as well. I wonder what your plan is for imprisoning this vengeful ghost?"

As he spoke, Xia Yu stood in front of Li Hui.

Tatata!
At this moment, the vengeful ghost also walked towards this side. The slightly dull and stiff footsteps came from the other end of the street, sounding like a stiff corpse walking around.

"Okay, I understand. You don't need to worry about the rest. Just leave it to us."

Li Hui's tone was indifferent, as if he didn't care about the supernatural event in Dasa City at all. When he looked at Xia Yu, his gaze lingered on Xia Yu's dark green eyes for a few seconds.

It was an extremely strange feeling.

When Li Hui looked into Xia Yu's eyes, he felt as if he were staring into the eyes of a terrifying ghost. Although those eerie green ghost eyes had been controlled by someone, they still exuded a cold and terrifying feeling.

"However, this incident cannot be handled entirely by me alone."

While pondering, Li Hui had a sudden thought, and the amount of paper ash falling from the surrounding air became increasingly dense, quickly spreading a layer of grayish paper ash on the street.

And under the influence of his ghostly supernatural domain, four figures appeared strangely on this street. They were Wei Jing, who came with him, Cao Yang, who was hiding in a building, and Li Leping and Ye Zhen, who were facing each other.

"here it is……?"

The sudden change in environment startled all four of them, but after taking a closer look at their surroundings, they came to their senses, and each of them wore a different expression.

For example, Li Leping, whose face was so unrecognizable to others, showed a slightly shocked expression.

He knew Li Hui was very strong, and there was still a gap between him and Li Hui, but he did not expect the gap between them to be so large.

Before he could even react, his surroundings had changed. What if Li Hui wanted to attack him...?

Think of this.

Li Leping's expression turned even uglier. Because of Li Hui's Ghost Domain, his Ghost Smoke was severely suppressed, and he couldn't even open it normally. This showed just how big the gap was between the two.

Compared to Li Leping, the other three were much calmer, because Wei Jing, Cao Yang, and Ye Zhen had all witnessed Li Hui's strength to some extent before.

"Li Hui, did you gather all of us here to deal with that vengeful ghost?" Li Leping looked at Li Hui with a questioning expression.

He then glanced at Cao Yang beside him and said, "Cao Yang, I'm so glad to see you're still alive. I'm really sorry about what happened before. Attacking you wasn't my intention. I was out of control at the time."

"you are?"

However, faced with Li Leping's apology, Cao Yang was momentarily stunned, his face showing surprise and doubt, as if wondering who this person who had suddenly appeared beside him was.

However, Cao Yang quickly realized what was happening.

"Are you Li Leping?"

"What was going on with you before? You suddenly attacked me. At the time, I thought you were dead and the vengeful spirit within you had been revived. But now it seems that's not the case?"

It's clear that Cao Yang still harbors resentment about the attack he suffered earlier. But that's understandable; anyone would feel the same way if they were suddenly betrayed by their own teammate.

Li Leping was well aware of this, and his apologetic expression deepened. He couldn't help but say, "This is a long story, and it can't be explained in a few words. I'll apologize to you after we've dealt with the matter in Dasa City!"

"Alright, let's put the previous matter aside for now. Whatever grudges you have, that's an internal conflict within our Ghost Rider Headquarters. We can't let outsiders laugh at us."

At this moment, Wei Jing spoke up, his gaze focused on Ye Zhen: "As the administrator of the paranormal forum, why would you appear in Dasa City? Could it be that this paranormal event is related to your Dasa City paranormal forum?"

Wei Jing's voice was hoarse and his tone was icy, implying that if Ye Zhen's answer did not satisfy him, he would deal with Ye Zhen first.

Are you questioning me, Ye?

Ye Zhen's tone was equally cold. He slightly raised the strange longsword in his hand and continued, "Don't think that just because you're from the Ghost Tamer Headquarters I won't dare to touch you. I, Ye Zhen, have roamed the world freely. A mere headquarters can't suppress me!"

"To put it bluntly, apart from Li Hui, all of you here are trash in my eyes. Even if you join forces, what can you do? In my eyes, you are nothing but a rabble. Li Hui, why don't you leave the Ghost Tamer Headquarters and join my Supernatural Forum? I am willing to share the world with you and together create the most powerful force in the world, leading the entire supernatural era!"

Ye Zhen said the last sentence to Li Hui.

He figured out that Li Hui had probably already joined the Ghost Tamer Headquarters, so Ye Zhen wanted to persuade Li Hui to switch sides.

"Alright, everyone, let's put aside our arguments for now. The most important thing right now is to deal with this paranormal incident in Dasa City. Headquarters has compared the data and found that this vengeful ghost is suspected to be related to the S-class paranormal 'ghost temple' incident in the island nation."

Li Hui spoke first.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Zhen couldn't help but speak again:

"What's there to fear from a mere brat? If we join forces, even if this paranormal event is only possibly related to the ghost temple incident, or even if we are facing the vengeful ghost that was the source of that S-class paranormal event, so what?"

"With the two of us working together, what paranormal event in this world can't we solve? As for them, they're just a burden; having them around will only hinder our operations."

Ye Zhen's words were as confident as ever, praising himself and Li Hui while also taking a dig at Li Leping and the others.

However, Li Hui, who knew Ye Zhen's personality well, simply chose to block Ye Zhen's 'flirting remarks,' and even Cao Yang and others did not hold it against him.

Li Hui then glanced at the slightly disheveled Ye Zhen a few times before asking, "You must have had contact with that vengeful ghost before, right? What kind of abilities did it have?"

Hear the words.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhen said, "That vengeful ghost is actually quite terrifying. It has the power to kill, especially the black bell in its hand. We need to be extra careful. The sound of that bell is some kind of supernatural curse that guarantees death."

"Besides, another vengeful ghost is imprisoned inside that bell, and the black bell itself restricts some of the mummy's supernatural abilities. If the black bell is removed, the mummy's terrifying power will increase even further..."

soon.

Ye Zhen then shared all the information he knew about the vengeful ghost.

However, as Ye Zhen recounted his story, everyone present except Li Hui's expression changed repeatedly, and a sense of dread arose in their hearts towards the source ghost.

That's when.

The terrifying ghost, resembling several corpses, emerged from the corner at the other end of the street. Behind it, an old and dilapidated temple followed, creating a very eerie scene.

"Hmph, how dare a mere brat show his face openly in front of me? Perfect! Today, I, Ye, will kill you and avenge my humiliation!"

"Look at the sword!"

The moment he saw the vengeful ghost, Ye Zhen darted forward and rushed towards its location, swinging his longsword fiercely towards the ghost's body.

boom!
boom~
soon.

The sound of objects colliding with each other rang out.

Ye Zhen's strange, twisted longsword did not strike the mummified corpse as intended, but instead collided with the black bell in its hand.

The supernatural collision between them quickly came to a conclusion.

The longsword in Ye Zhen's hand began to bend under the immense pressure, but correspondingly, a crack appeared on the black bell in the mummified corpse's hand. Although it was very small, it was expanding in all directions as time went on.

at the same time.

Li Hui and his team also began their operation.

Li Leping, in particular, seemed to have transformed into a real vengeful ghost, exuding a chilling aura as he rapidly approached the ghost in a way that went unnoticed.

Cao Yang and Wei Jing, who were standing nearby, also made a move and quickly approached the location of the vengeful ghosts. However, Li Hui was even faster than them and appeared strangely next to the group of vengeful ghosts.

boom!
A powerful punch, imbued with the eerie power of the bus and the suppressive ability of the ghost messengers, slammed directly into the chest of the eerie dried corpse.

There was a "click".

Instant time.

A sound of bones breaking rang out. With Li Hui's punch, the chest of the eerie mummified corpse caved in, and the entire body was sent flying.

However, whether it was intentional on Li Hui's part or not, the strange mummified corpse flew backwards towards the dilapidated temple behind it, and then crashed hard into the temple wall. The impact even caused a human-shaped crack to appear in the temple wall.

"Your paranormal abilities have increased again?"

Ye Zhen, who witnessed all of this, showed a strange expression. He had tried to repel the evil spirit with his fists before, but he could never do what Li Hui did and make the evil spirit's body dent.

Perhaps he could achieve this by constantly punching and pounding with his fists, with the supernatural power continuously accumulating, but it would be impossible for someone like Li Hui to achieve this level with just one punch.
