Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 19 The Starving Ghost Incident Erupts

As a coastal city, Da Hai is very prosperous, especially in terms of economy, which ranks among the top in Asia.

The most prominent landmark building in Da Hai City is undoubtedly the Pearl Tower.

This is a building that is five or six hundred meters tall, with more than one hundred floors in total. It is the tallest building in Dahai City, without exception, and is located in the city center.

at this time.

In a lounge on a high floor of the Pearl Tower, Li Hui sat on a sofa, constantly flipping through the files he held in his hands.

There were many files; besides the one Li Hui was holding, the coffee table in front of him was also piled high with them.

Most of them showed signs of being opened and read, and some A4 sheets with specific contents were even carelessly discarded aside, making the place look somewhat messy.

Each file bag contains a brief description of its contents.

For example, "The Door-Knocking Ghost Incident in Dachang City," "The Ghost Night Incident in Dadong City," "The Ghost Cinema Incident in Dadong City," "The Huanggang Village Incident in Dachang City," "Dahai City...", "Dachuan City...", "Daning City..."

These files were sent over by someone specifically instructed by Ye Zhen's subordinate, a man named A Wu.

After sparring with Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen left using Ghost Domain. Not long after, A Wu found Li Hui and brought him to the Pearl Building.

The people on the paranormal forum were very 'enthusiastic'.

After arriving at the Pearl Building, Li Hui first took a shower, then changed into the new clothes that the receptionist had specially bought for him, and then went to the infirmary to have his wound bandaged.

After finishing this series of tasks, it was already noon. After Li Hui had lunch and returned to the lounge, the paranormal files were gradually delivered to him.

Some of these paranormal events have been recorded and dealt with, while others have not.

Besides the files on paranormal events, there are also files containing records about city officials. For example, the one Li Hui is currently holding and reading contains information about the officials in Dachang City.

"Currently, Dachang City does not have a real person in charge, only two acting persons in charge, one is Zhao Kaiming, and the other is Yang Jian."

"Zhou Zheng, the previous head of Dachang City, died in the 'Knocking Ghost' incident at No. 7 Middle School. The head before him, Feng Quan, was rescued from Huanggang Village by Yang Jian after disappearing for several months..."

The files are very detailed, including information on the supernatural abilities of the individuals in charge, as well as major events.

Not only in Dachang City, but also in other cities, the officials kept very detailed records.

Li Hui seriously doubted that even the files of the Ghost Tamer headquarters might not be as detailed as the files in his possession.

Or...

These files actually originated from the Ghost Tamer headquarters.
After thinking about it, Li Hui realized that it wasn't entirely impossible.

After all, there are quite a few traitors in the Ghost Master headquarters, and the paranormal forum, as the number one ghost master in the public, is far more powerful than WeChat Moments.

There may be almost no Ghost Tamers who join the headquarters, but there must be a few high-ranking members of the headquarters behind them.

"Based on the information we have, the current timeline should be after the Huanggang Village incident and before the starving ghost incident."

"Moreover, Yang Jian has already gone head-to-head with the Xiaoqiang Club. Judging from this, the outbreak of the Hungry Ghost incident should be within the next few days."

Closing the file in his hand, Li Hui rubbed his slightly sore eyes, looked up at the clock on the wall, and realized that it was already past two in the afternoon.

at the same time.

Dachang City, hundreds of kilometers away.

Suburbs.

After watching Wang Xiaoming's helicopter leave, Yang Jian began to clean up the mess. Although Wang Xiaoqiang had been burned to death by him, his vengeful ghost was still alive.

On the ground in front of Yang Jian was a white skeleton struggling incessantly; this skeleton was the vengeful ghost that Wang Xiaoqiang was controlling.

While the Skeleton Demon isn't particularly terrifying, it offers exceptional protection to its rider and is incredibly difficult to kill, making it one of the few 'benevolent demons' that are largely beneficial to its rider.

"To imprison this skeleton ghost, must we dismantle the entire skeleton and imprison it separately to prevent it from resurrecting?"

Remembering what Wang Xiaoming said before he left, Yang Jian controlled the ghost shadow to dismember the skeleton. A complete skeleton was instantly broken into pieces of bone.

The white bones were devoid of any flesh or blood, resembling a skull specimen in a hospital.

After disassembling the bones, Yang Jian saw that they kept gathering together, seemingly trying to reassemble. However, knowing the rules of imprisonment, Yang Jian obviously could not allow them to gather together again, so he directly wrapped the bones with the gold foil he carried with him.

Gold can block the senses of evil spirits.

really.

After the bandage was applied, the bone immediately settled down.

Yang Jian put away the gold foil paper, then turned around to leave.

However, as he was leaving, he had a sudden thought and looked up at the sky.

It was only a little past two in the afternoon, but the sky over Dachang City had already darkened, as if shrouded in a faint bluish-black hue.

"haze?"

Seeing this, Yang Jian frowned, but didn't think much of it. He continued walking towards the city center of Dachang, intending to put the gold foil wrapping the evil spirit into the safe house first.

Clearly, Yang Jian had no idea what kind of events he would experience after returning to Dachang City.

…………

Time passed by minute by minute.

By the time Li Hui finished reading the last file on the coffee table, it was almost 5 p.m. He had looked at it very carefully, especially the information of some city officials.

Many of them did not appear in the original work, and Li Hui guessed that they most likely died in the early to middle stages.

The turnover rate of city leaders is very short, basically every few months. Those who can survive for more than half a year are considered veteran ghost tamers.

"It's dinner time again."

Li Hui touched his stomach, which had begun to protest.

For some reason, Li Hui got hungry very quickly and ate much more than before he transmigrated. Li Hui guessed that it was because his body was injured and he needed a lot of energy to recover.

step, step, step
Just as Li Hui got up to get something to eat, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from outside the lounge.

Instead of a wall, the lounge is separated by a one-way mirror, allowing people inside to see out, but preventing those outside from seeing inside.

The person who came was a woman in her early twenties dressed as a secretary. She was very beautiful with delicate features and wore professional light makeup.

The female secretary, carrying a file folder, walked straight to the door of the lounge where Li Hui was.

"come in!"

Before the female secretary could even knock on the door, Li Hui's voice came from the lounge.

Upon hearing this, the female secretary turned the handle and pushed open the door to the lounge, saying, "Hello Mr. Li, this is some information that our manager specifically asked me to bring to you."

"Your manager? Wu? Okay, I understand." Li Hui took the file handed to him by the female secretary.

"Well, you're busy. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my post and get back to work."

"Ah."

Li Hui didn't pay attention to his female secretary's departure; at that moment, his attention was drawn to the information on the file folder in his hand.

It reads:
A major paranormal event.

The place name is also marked at the end: Dachang City!
