Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 169 The Black Ghost Bell
"thump!"

Li Hui's punch sent the eerie mummified corpse flying, its body slamming heavily into the dilapidated temple wall. The wall was even dented in the shape of a human figure. The supernatural power contained in his punch even silenced the eerie mummified corpse's own supernatural power, leaving it unable to react for a long time.

There was a "bang" sound.

at the same time.

The large black clock held by the eerie mummified corpse fell to the ground and crashed onto the street.

next moment.

A strange scene happened.

After the large black bell, which was more than half a person tall, fell down, numerous blood-red handprints immediately appeared on the ground around it. They were so many that they were densely packed and covered the ground.

As time went on, these hands seemed to be deliberately and rapidly spreading towards Li Hui and the others.

"This is another vengeful ghost, a vengeful ghost trapped inside a black bell. Its overall level of terror is not very high, but it has the ability to suppress other vengeful ghosts."

Upon seeing these blood-red handprints, Ye Zhen reminded Li Hui, who was standing beside him.

However, Li Hui ignored his warning and didn't even glance at the bloody handprints spreading towards him on the ground. His gaze remained fixed on the strange mummified corpse and the dilapidated temple behind it.

joke.

In terms of suppressing other vengeful ghosts, which ghost can compare to the Ghost Messenger?
In fact, Li Hui didn't even take the underdeveloped ghost messengers seriously, let alone this bloody handprint that came out of the black bell.

At this moment, Wei Jing and the others also arrived.

Upon hearing Ye Zhen's words, all three of them turned their gaze to the dense array of bloody handprints around them. Wei Jing spoke up, saying, "Leave this vengeful ghost to me."

"No need to bother."

At this moment, Li Hui spoke up: "The bloody handprint is not that terrifying. There is no need to waste extra energy on it."

The voice just fell.

The surrounding environment suddenly darkened.

The falling paper dust instantly changed from a grayish color to pitch black, looking like ashes stained with ink.

this moment.

Li Hui combined the supernatural abilities of the ghost messengers and the ghost paintings, increasing the overall strength of his ghost domain while also possessing the terrifying suppressive power of the ghost messengers. Moreover, he also gained the suppressive power of the supernatural bus.

In this situation, the bloody handprints that were originally spreading towards him were instantly suppressed, the number of handprints decreased rapidly, and the spreading trend stopped.

Not only the bloody handprint, but all the supernatural phenomena in the surrounding area were suppressed.

Li Leping, Cao Yang, Ye Zhen and the others all changed their expressions. Xia Yu, who was the furthest away and the weakest, was especially affected. The evil spirit within him was frantically issuing warnings, and a strong sense of crisis instantly overwhelmed him.

However, just when he thought he was about to be attacked by a supernatural force, the falling black paper ash deliberately avoided their bodies, clearly indicating that Li Hui was controlling the falling paper ash.

Here.

As the pitch-black ashes continued to fall, all the other bloody handprints that had sprung up around the area quickly disappeared, leaving only the vengeful ghost of the source.

It was a hand about the size of a normal adult's, with the body parts above the wrist missing, like a hand that had been forcibly chopped off. Moreover, there was only this one left hand, not a pair.

The entire palm was blood red, looking as if it had been soaked in red dye for a long time, but also as if it had been stained with blood, which looked very strange.

"Is there only this one hand, or is the rest of the ghost's body still inside that black ghost bell?" Cao Yang asked curiously, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the bloody hand on the ground and the black bell on the other side.

"It should be just this one palm."

Li Leping, who was standing nearby, explained, "If there were other body parts, it would be impossible for them to remain completely still for so long after the Ghost Bell fell. Moreover, judging from the Ghost Bell itself, there should only be this handprint inside."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yang carefully examined the situation and realized that what Li Leping said was not without merit.

There were bloody handprints on the surface of the black bell, and no other traces of evil spirits were left. This suggests that what Li Leping said was probably true.

"So it's been suppressed already?"

Unlike Cao Yang and the others, Wei Jing's expression shifted when he saw that Li Hui hadn't even made a move, yet the supernatural manifestation of the Ghost Domain had completely suppressed a vengeful ghost. He gained a deeper understanding of Li Hui's strength.

There might even be more than one vengeful ghost...

The strange mummified corpse not far away had not stood up again after so long. It lay there like an ordinary corpse, clearly having been completely suppressed.

Although Wei Jing, who had never personally experienced the horror of mummies, was equally surprised, his shock was far less than Ye Zhen's.

After all, Ye Zhen had personally experienced the terror of that vengeful ghost. He had even been suppressed and trapped in that temple for a long time. Only after the vengeful ghost left this time was he able to recover and leave that dilapidated temple.

"If Li Hui can easily suppress that strange mummified corpse at this moment, then wouldn't it be even easier for him to deal with me?" A hint of struggle flashed across Ye Zhen's face.

Although Li Hui had previously demonstrated supernatural powers that surpassed his own, none of them were nearly as exaggerated as what he showed this time.

Ye Zhen originally thought that his progress this time would allow him to close the gap with Li Hui, but now it seems that the gap between the two has not only not narrowed, but has become wider and wider.

"They're both Ghost Tamers, so how come his improvement is so fast?" At this moment, even Ye Zhen was a little envious of Li Hui's abilities.

In particular, Li Hui's powerful supernatural ability to completely silence the eerie mummified corpse with a single punch made Ye Zhen, who also liked to use his fists to strike vengeful ghosts, very envious.

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Hui's supernatural abilities are related to the haunted bus I rode on before. It was a ghost bus, which means the bus itself was a terrifying ghost. If I could control that ghost, would that mean I would also have the same powerful abilities as Li Hui?"

At this point, Ye Zhen set his sights on the supernatural bus.

He was thinking about the feasibility of driving the ghost bus.

When Ye Zhen was on the bus, the ghost bus stalled, and at the same time, it began to show signs of the vehicle's supernatural nature.

At that time, Ye Zhen tried to fight against the ghost bus in its off-state state, but the final result was undoubtedly that he was at a disadvantage. He then used his ghost domain ability to leave the ghost bus and enter the temple, but he was suppressed by the evil ghosts in the temple until now.

"However, controlling the supernatural power of that ghost bus is not so easy, but it is still no challenge for me, Ye Zhen," Ye Zhen thought to himself.

As far as he knew, the ghost car traveled between the real world and various supernatural places. The time and place it appeared in the real world each time were unknown, making it difficult to find.

But since he had already made up his mind to try to control that vengeful ghost, Ye Zhen would do it no matter how difficult it was.

Just as Ye Zhen and the others were pondering this...

On the other side, Li Hui took action again.

He strode toward the suppressed bloody handprint and the eerie dried corpse, and soon arrived beside the two vengeful ghosts.

pat!

Li Hui was the first to act on the strange mummified corpse. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the corpse's shoulder and lifted it up.

During this process, the eerie mummified corpse remained completely still. Li Hui's seemingly simple grab actually utilized the suppressive abilities of the bus and the ghost messengers. Leaving aside the supernatural aspects of the bus, Li Hui alone had the suppressive ability to suppress 21 vengeful ghosts at this moment.

Under such terrifying suppression, not to mention the eerie mummified corpse in front of him, more than 90% of the vengeful spirits in this world would be unable to resist.

"The mummified corpse was completely suppressed, but the temple itself was not affected at all. Is the ghost temple separate from this mummified corpse, or is there some connection between the two?"

After grabbing the mummified corpse, all the supernatural elements within it were completely suppressed, and it fell into silence. However, the dilapidated temple next to it remained unchanged. The seemingly ordinary and old temple still had a supernatural aura permeating it, and it was not affected by the suppression of the eerie mummified corpse.

Upon seeing this, Li Hui's expression shifted slightly.

Then he kicked out suddenly, aiming at the slightly closed temple gate in front of him.

"Bang" sound.

Without any obstruction, just like an ordinary temple gate, the gate opened completely with Li Hui's forceful kick, revealing the scene inside.

The first thing he saw was a scene overgrown with weeds.

Just like its exterior, the temple's interior was also old and dilapidated, with the front yard overgrown with weeds more than half a meter tall, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

At this moment, several figures were still standing in the overgrown front yard, but their bodies were stiff, their faces ashen, and they were no longer alive; they were clearly cold and stiff corpses.

These people were all dressed in modern clothing, and one of them had a camera hanging on his chest, making it seem as if he had entered the temple to take pictures and then suddenly encountered a paranormal event.

"What a bunch of unlucky people!" Li Hui thought to himself, but he didn't feel sorry for them; he just felt a little emotional.

After all, there are countless people in this world who are just as unlucky, and there are many ordinary people who are involved in paranormal events. If he were to have sympathy for every one of them, he would do nothing but have an overflowing sense of compassion all day long.

"It seems this paranormal event is more complex than it appears on the surface. It's not just about the mummified corpse and the bloody handprint; this temple is very likely the real source..."

Seeing the open temple gates, Li Hui did not go in immediately.

At this moment, the amount of ashes around his body suddenly increased, and then the strange dried corpse that Li Hui was carrying and the blood handprints that had been suppressed on the ground all disappeared. He imprisoned them deep in his ghost domain.

All that remained was that large black bell, more than half a person's height.

The bell is somewhat old, and there is a chip at the very top, as if it was damaged by being hit by a heavy object.

However, according to what Ye Zhen said before, this bell is a supernatural object. Not only can it be used to imprison and restrict vengeful ghosts, but the sound emitted by the black bell itself is also a supernatural curse that will surely lead to death.

The only thing that's unclear is how to trigger the bell, since there was no bell sound when it fell to the ground from the hands of the strange mummified corpse.

While thinking.

Li Hui reached out and grabbed the notch at the top of the black bell, trying to lift the entire bell up.

However, to Li Hui's surprise, the black bell, which looked to be about half a person's height, was surprisingly light. With just a gentle lift, he was able to lift the entire black bell.

"No, that's not right. It's not that the black bell is light, but that the way you lift it is different. It doesn't require strength, but supernatural power, like forcibly controlling the steering wheel of a ghost bus..."

Li Hui quickly realized what was happening.

Just like the steering wheel of a ghost bus, before becoming the 'driver' of the bus, the ability to control the steering wheel depends on the strength of the supernatural power. The higher the supernatural power you possess, the easier it is to control the steering wheel, and vice versa.

The same reason.

The higher one's supernatural strength, the easier it is to lift the black bell. If an ordinary person were to do it, even if they exerted all their strength, they might not be able to lift the ghost bell.

Think of this.

Li Hui examined the large black bell in his hand more closely, looking into the gap at the top of the bell.

The inside of the bell was pitch black, and the bottom looked as if it had been welded in place by something, unlike ordinary bells where the bottom is hollow.

"Ok?"

Just as Li Hui was observing the inside of the black clock, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared inside the originally pitch-black and empty clock.

The eyes were pressed against the inside of the black bell, and were now eerily peering at Li Hui, who was looking inside, through the gap at the top of the bell.

Their eyes met, and the scene froze for a second.

next moment.

The eerie eye vanished again, abruptly disappearing right under Li Hui's nose without any warning, as if the eye he had just seen was merely an illusion. The interior of the black bell remained empty.

"Are there other vengeful ghosts imprisoned inside this bell? Or are those eyes some kind of supernatural manifestation of this ghost bell?" Li Hui's expression shifted slightly as he secretly speculated in his mind.

Compared to the former, Li Hui felt that the latter was more likely, believing that those eyes were the supernatural force behind the black bell.

After all, the gap at the top of the black ghost bell has been exposed for so long. If the owner of those strange eyes is a vengeful ghost imprisoned inside the black bell, he should have run out long ago like that bloody hand. How could he still be inside the ghost bell without making a sound?

However, just as Li Hui was pondering this...

He casually shifted the position of his hand holding the large black clock, and at the same time, the position of the black ghost clock also changed.

Suddenly.

A deep, somber bell rang out...
