Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 190 The Cave Emperor Who Eradicates All Supernatural Phenomena

The eerie figure carrying a lantern led the other three for an unknown amount of time before the scenery before them finally changed.

A mysterious path formed by converging red light stretched forward, spanning the entire void. At the end of the path, a scene distinct from the void appeared.

That's another world.

A dark and eerie world filled with a chilling atmosphere!
Soon, the four of them followed the eerie path and left the endless void, entering an even more bizarre supernatural world.

The four of them settled in an open space.

This clearing is surrounded by dense forest, with trees intertwined and forming a protective grove around it.

In the middle of this open space are five graves, some new and some old. The fifth grave, in particular, has very fresh soil, as if the person inside had just been buried and the grave had just been built.

In addition, each grave has a tombstone with the words "Tomb of so-and-so" engraved on it, and a portrait is placed above the words.

Then a strange thing happened.

As a group of four carrying red lanterns suddenly appeared, the figures in the five tomb portraits all seemed to come alive, turning their gazes in their direction.

However, faced with this bizarre and terrifying scene, the four of them did not react at all, as if they had not seen it. They walked towards the outside of the open space with unchanged expressions, as if they wanted to leave.

But their steps soon came to a halt.

I don’t know when.

An elderly man dressed in a black Zhongshan suit stood in front of the forest path and looked in their direction.

The old man was dressed in a black Zhongshan suit and black cloth shoes. Although his face was old and full of wrinkles, his posture was exceptionally straight. He exuded a kind of awe-inspiring and suffocating majesty, as if even the most bizarre and supernatural things could not cause any trouble in front of him.

If Li Hui were here at this moment, he would instantly recognize the old man as the owner of this supernatural place.

Zhangdong!

next moment.

Zhang Dong slowly raised his slightly aged hand, seemingly preparing to take action against the four unexpected 'uninvited guests'.

And that was accompanied by his raising of his hand.

The eerie figure carrying a square lantern in the distance seemed to sense a threat and made the first move.

"Dingling bell~"

The sound of the bell ringing out carried an unknown, eerie curse, attempting to affect Zhang Dong's body.

Besides.

The square lantern held by the figure also changed. The '囍' character on one side quickly dimmed, while the '奠' character on the other side rapidly enlarged. At the same time, the red light emitted by the lantern turned into darkness in an instant.

As if guided by some force, the inky darkness rapidly spread toward Zhang Dong's location, swallowing up everything in its path.

However, Zhang Dong's expression remained unchanged in the face of such an attack, cold and dignified. He then gently waved his raised hand in front of him.

The way it looked was like saying goodbye to someone, or like sending someone on their way.

next moment.

A bizarre and incomprehensible scene unfolded.

The darkness that had been spreading toward Zhangdong was rapidly disappearing, as if it had been forcibly erased by something.

Not only the darkness, but also the bells that had been echoing all around vanished in an instant; all the supernatural phenomena disappeared completely at that moment.

See this.

The eerie figure's face contorted with human-like terror, and its gaze toward Zhang Dong revealed a deep sense of dread.

Then the eerie figure quickly turned around, trying to escape in another direction. It even disregarded the other three people, only wanting to get out of the sight of this terrifying old man and escape this haunted place.

Zhang Dong clearly had no intention of letting him go.

Zhang Dong remained silent, only gently waving his arm.

When Zhang Dong waved his hand for the first time, one of the strange figures' arms seemed to have been forcibly erased from the world, disappearing without a trace.

When Zhang Dong waved his hand a second time, the eerie figure that had tried to escape fell to the ground, its legs nowhere to be seen.

As Zhang Dong waved his hand for the third time, the body of the person lying on the ground began to become incomplete, leaving only a head and a fragmented body.

Even so, Zhang Dong's hands did not stop moving; he continued to wave them repeatedly.

corresponding.

The traces left by the eerie figures in this world are becoming fewer and fewer.

At this moment, he had almost completely disappeared. There was only one thing that Zhang Dong's supernatural power could not erase, but left behind in the same place. It was the square lantern that the strange figure had been carrying in his hand!

After successfully eliminating and dealing with the strange figure, Zhang Dong's gaze then turned to the other three...

at the same time.

the other side.

Upon returning to the real world, Li Hui and his group went directly back to the Wangting Building, located in the bustling downtown area of ​​Hangzhou.

"Is everything settled?"

In the office on the top floor of the building, Li Hui looked at the young man who had just received the notification and walked into the office, and asked him calmly.

The person who arrived was Zhang Lei.

After reporting his transfer to headquarters and taking care of his personal matters in Xiaoquan City, he rushed to Dahang City without stopping.

"Yes, everything has been taken care of. I am not the person in charge of Koizumi City, so there is no need for any handover. In addition, my parents died in the cannibal incident, so I don't have many personal matters to deal with."

Zhang Lei looked at Li Hui and said.

At this moment, he appeared to be in very good health. Apart from being slightly pale, looking somewhat haggard, and having some bloodshot eyes, he looked almost no different from a normal person.

Compared to his initial appearance at the Ping An Grand Restaurant, where he couldn't even control his facial expressions and his body was excessively eroded by supernatural forces, Zhang Lei is now undoubtedly much better in every way.

The reason for this change is entirely due to the liar in Li Hui's hands.

Although this is only temporary, as time goes by, or if Zhang Lei uses supernatural powers too frequently, his physical condition will deteriorate again, and the erosion by the vengeful ghost will intensify. However, as long as Li Hui uses the Deceitful Ghost's supernatural powers again, his body can recover to a healthy state.

It's not that Li Hui is particularly kind; rather, it's a win-win situation. Zhang Lei needs to rely on Li Hui's charlatan to maintain his health, and Li Hui also wants a subordinate with decent abilities in all aspects.

Most importantly, using the supernatural abilities of the Deceitful Ghost to help others recover their physical condition is something Li Hui can do casually, without any cost.

While thinking.

Li Hui spoke to Zhang Lei again: "You've come at the perfect time. I happen to have something I need you to investigate."

As he spoke, Li Hui handed over a file folder.

As Zhang Lei reached out to take the file, Li Hui continued, "This is information on several folk ghost tamers in Dahang City. Go and investigate them. I suspect that one of them has mental problems."

"Okay, Captain Li."

Zhang Lei responded and immediately opened the file to check the information. While reviewing the file, he said, "By the way, Captain Li, if any of them really have problems, what should I do? Should I deal with them directly, or..."

"As long as you discover that one of them might have a problem, you don't need solid evidence, just enough suspicion. Don't overthink it, just get rid of them!"

Li Hui's voice carried an inexplicable chill, "They weren't exactly good people to begin with. After becoming Ghost Tamers, they didn't choose to join the headquarters. Instead, they roamed the common people and committed all sorts of evil deeds. Keeping such people around is just a menace!"

Having this idea doesn't mean that Li Hui has a high level of ideological awareness at this time; it's purely because Dahang City is currently his territory.

If anyone were to cause trouble in his territory, even if it happened before he took office, he would find them and kill them as soon as there were any signs or indications.

This has nothing to do with anything else; it's entirely a matter of stance. If he weren't the person in charge of Dahang City at this moment, he wouldn't even glance at the mess others made of the city or how many people died.

Take, for example, the ghost head incident in Dachuan City.

Calculate the time.

It hasn't been long since Li Leping attempted to control the Ghost Shadow Head, ultimately losing control and turning the entire Dachuan City into a near-dead city.

However, Li Hui, who was well aware of the incident, did not intend to warn Li Leping, which shows that Li Hui was not a good person and did not care much about the lives of other people.

"Okay, Captain Li, I understand. Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back to work now."

After glancing at the information in the file, Zhang Lei packed all the papers together and put the file bag away.

"There's no rush."

Li Hui said, "We'll talk about the investigation later. You just came from Xiaoquan City, so take care of your living arrangements first. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be working in Hangzhou for a long time to come. In that case, why not buy a house nearby? It will make your work easier later on."

"You don't need to worry about the money. Just tell your assistant Zhang Xue your requirements. She's quite familiar with all aspects of Hangzhou. Let her take you to buy a house."

talking.

Li Hui dialed the landline on his desk, then transferred to his assistant's office, asking Zhang Xue to come up to his office.

soon.

There was a knock on the office door.

"Captain Li, you wanted to see me?"

As the sound of high heels hitting the ground rang out, Zhang Xue, an ordinary-looking woman with a good figure, wearing a black work uniform, walked in with a respectful expression.

"Here's the thing, you should already know about Zhang Lei's situation. He's planning to settle down in Hangzhou. You know this city quite well, so I'd like you to go with him to finalize the house arrangements. The money for the house will be transferred directly from the company's account."

Thanks to the management of the headquarters staff and previous leaders, the headquarters now owns companies in many industries in the city, in addition to the Wangting Building.

In short, Li Hui, who took over the leadership of the Hangzhou Municipal Government and took over the companies headquartered in the city, is not short of money!
"Okay, Captain Li."

Zhang Xue nodded in agreement, her respectful expression undiminished. She then turned to Zhang Lei beside her and asked, "Many of the upscale residential areas in the vicinity are still unsold, and many of them are fully furnished and ready to move in. What are your requirements for housing?"

Li Hui was not there earlier, and his phone could not be reached. Zhang Xue was the person who received Zhang Lei at Wangting Building, so she knew very well that the man in front of her was also a ghost tamer.

Most importantly, the other party was clearly different from her; he was Li Hui's true 'confidant.' Therefore, considering all of the above, Zhang Xue also used a respectful title for Zhang Lei.

Just call me Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei nodded to Zhang Xue, said hello, and then said, "I don't have any requirements. These days, high-end residential areas all over the country are pretty much the same. As long as it's close to the company, it will be convenient for the subsequent work."

"Alright, Zhang Lei, you can decide on the house yourself. Zhang Xue, take him to see the nearby properties for sale. Once you've decided, finalize the purchase today. Now that you're free, you two can go downstairs and look at the houses."

Sitting behind his solid wood desk, Li Hui then issued the order to leave.

Upon hearing his words, Zhang Lei and Zhang Xue greeted each other and left together. They took the elevator downstairs and, led by Zhang Xue, went to look at apartments in a nearby upscale residential complex.

As for Li Hui...

Although he doesn't own any property in Hangzhou, the lounge in Wangting Building is just as luxurious as any high-end apartment in a luxury residential complex, making it perfectly suitable for temporary lodging.

Moreover, he didn't plan to buy a house in the residential complex. Instead, he wanted his company's staff to acquire a plot of land in the city and build a house on-site. This would make it easier for him to build other structures, such as a basement or a safe house.

Although he himself most likely doesn't need the safe house, not having it at all and having it but not using it are two completely different things.

In this world of mysterious resurgence, almost every city leader or powerful ghost tamer has their own safe base; this has become the norm in this world.

"The vengeful spirit that young man was controlling was quite powerful, and its level of terror was not low. However, for a novice spirit tamer, a spirit that is too terrifying is actually not good, as it can easily lead to the problem of the vengeful spirit reviving."

Sudden.

A man's voice suddenly rang out from the side of the office.

The speaker was Yang Xiao.

Unlike the other souls who had already been re-enacted in Li Hui's portraits, Yang Xiao was left behind by Li Hui.

Meanwhile, Li Hui's ghost domain did not retract and still enveloped the surroundings, but it was not revealed. This was the main reason why Zhang Lei and Zhang Xue did not discover Yang Xiao before.
