Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 198 What would happen if I refused?
In the gloomy village.

Under the watchful eyes of Li Hui and the others.

After remaining stiff for a long time, He Yuelian, who looked like a bride in red, finally made some movement. Her body swayed, and a muffled groan came from under her red veil, as if she was enduring some kind of painful torment.

In addition, the vengeful ghost that was holding hands with He Yuelian also changed at this time.

The already somewhat blurry figure began to gradually become transparent, as if it might disappear at any moment.

This change immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Apart from Li Hui, the other team leaders from headquarters all tensed up and became on high alert.

They knew that the ghost painting's dissipation wasn't a true disappearance, but rather a transfer to He Yuelian.

This situation indicates that the conflict between the various supernatural entities surrounding He Yuelian has ended, and they have now entered a phase of mutual integration.

This fusion could very well make He Yuelian a new ghost tamer, but it could also result in the emergence of an unimaginably terrifying and vengeful ghost.

It is precisely because of this.

Only then did Li Jun and the others begin to tense up.

Even they couldn't be sure whether He Yuelian could successfully control the ghost painting, the ghost wedding dress, and the red veil. After all, for many ordinary people, the probability of failing to control these terrifying supernatural entities when they come into contact with them is extremely high.

If He Yuelian fails, then all of them will inevitably suffer attacks from that out-of-control vengeful ghost, and everyone's lives will be in danger, which is something they all do not want to see.

"Li Hui, you are also controlling the supernatural power of the Ghost Painting. Based on your experience, what are the chances that He Yuelian will be able to control it successfully?"

At this moment, Li Jun asked Li Hui.

Upon hearing this, the other team leaders all turned their attention to Li Hui, awaiting his response.

After the conversation between Li Hui and Zhang Xianguang, they all knew He Yuelian's name and who was currently controlling the ghost painting spirit.

Upon hearing this, Li Hui glanced at He Yuelian and the ghost painting with a strange expression, and then said, "Based on my speculation, the probability that He Yuelian has successfully controlled the ghost painting's supernatural power is very high."

“Zhang Xianguang and his group have been planning this for so long. If the chances of success were slim, they wouldn’t have dared to act so recklessly, directly introducing such terrifying supernatural things as the Ghost Painting and the Ghost Wedding Dress into the territory of Dahan City.”

Even Li Hui, who had read the original novel, dared not give a complete guarantee at this point.

Although He Yuelian in the original work did successfully control the supernatural power of the ghost painting, it doesn't mean she will definitely be able to do so this time. It's just that I think the chances of He Yuelian succeeding are still very high.

The reason for this is that He Yuelian's control over the ghost painting supernatural phenomenon at this time is significantly earlier than in the original work. And in the supernatural, even the slightest deviation can lead to two completely different results.

Take, for example, the outliers among those who control ghosts.

If they were to walk the path to becoming an outcast again, even with previous successful experiences, no one would dare say they could succeed 100%, because the unpredictability of the supernatural is too strong, and the same steps could lead to failure in becoming an outcast!
Upon hearing this, Wang Chaling and the others did not find anything wrong with it. On the contrary, they agreed with Li Hui's point of view. After all, Li Hui was the strongest among the people present, and he himself controlled the supernatural power of the Ghost Painting. Therefore, Li Hui had absolute authority on this matter.

"Even if He Yuelian fails to control it, this is the best time to imprison Ghost Painting. With our strength, even if we cannot completely imprison it, we can still lure it abroad again to avoid causing greater losses to Dahan City."

Li Hui continued, "But if she really succeeds in mastering it, she will definitely be the most outstanding ghost tamer. Bringing her into headquarters will greatly enhance the headquarters' top combat power!"

of course.

Li Hui's idea was to bring He Yuelian under his command, but he obviously couldn't say that outright.

Will we invite He Yuelian to headquarters then?

Upon hearing this, Li Jun and the others displayed various expressions.

Some of them showed expressions of agreement, clearly thinking that Li Hui was right, while others looked thoughtful, and still others were secretly weighing the pros and cons.

The addition of a top-tier ghost tamer has both advantages and disadvantages for these captains, because headquarters has made it clear that there will always be only twelve captains.

The team leader has now been selected.

If a top-tier demon tamer joins the fray at this point, it will obviously impact the captaincy of one of them.

But if headquarters doesn't allow the use of team leader positions as a bargaining chip, what can they offer to attract and persuade top ghost controllers like He Yuelian, who has mastered the Ghost Painting, to join?
For a while.

The thoughts of the people present quickly began to race.

Jiang Shangbai, the weakest among them, felt a strong sense of crisis at this moment.

If headquarters really intends to offer a captain's position to recruit a top-tier Ghost Master, then the one who loses the captain's position is very likely to be a Ghost Master like him, whose strength is inferior to the other captains, and whose achievements are even less than theirs.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shangbai even began to secretly hope that He Yuelian would fail to control the supernatural power of the ghost painting and then be imprisoned by the group of them.

Unfortunately, Jiang Shangbai's idea was destined to fail.

As time passed, the changes between He Yuelian, dressed in a red wedding gown, and the ghost painting became increasingly significant.

Under the gaze of everyone.

The red-clad female ghost who was holding He Yuelian's hand vanished completely at that moment, leaving no trace behind.

At the same time, He Yuelian's hands became exceptionally white, and her aura began to turn cold and eerie. Her painful struggles also completely disappeared.

Everything fell into a deathly silence.

At this moment, no one knew whether the woman in front of them, with a red veil covering her head, wearing a red wedding dress, and only her pair of pale, cold hands exposed, was a human or a vengeful ghost.

However, Li Jun and his team were certain that the woman in the red wedding dress, whether human or a vengeful ghost, would be extremely terrifying.

"She moved her hand, everyone be careful."

suddenly.

Jiang Shangbai, who had been watching He Yuelian's movements, suddenly noticed that He Yuelian's fair hand had just twitched, and he couldn't help but remind her.

"It seems the final result is about to be revealed. I wonder if He Yuelian has successfully controlled these terrifying supernatural beings, or if she is actually already dead and what is standing in front of us now is a vengeful ghost?"

Li Jun and the others were also watching this scene closely, and they were all ready to take action. If things went wrong, they would not hesitate to attack the woman in red in front of them.

However, just as everyone was watching with bated breath.

He Yuelian's operation to control the vengeful ghost has come to a complete end.

At this moment, two memories were intertwined in her mind. One memory belonged to He Yuelian herself, and the other belonged to Yuelian from the Republican era.

The memory belonging to 'Republic of China Moon Lotus' was not particularly complete, but it was more detailed than the memories that had emerged before. It even gave her the illusion of 'past and present life', as if He Yuelian was her present life, and the 'Moon Lotus' in her memory was her past life.

However, He Yuelian herself knew very well that there was no such thing as a past life or a present life. The reason she had such a misconception was simply because she was affected by the merging of two sets of memories.

soon.

The two memories in He Yuelian's mind merged completely, and she slowly opened her eyes under the red veil.

obviously.

In this collision and fusion of the supernatural, He Yuelian survived and successfully took control of everything.

However, He Yuelian at this time is somewhat different from the original her. The fusion of the two memories has brought about many changes in her, both in terms of consciousness and body.

"what's the situation?"

"So much time has passed, how can there be no reaction at all? Regardless of whether He Yuelian successfully controlled the ghost painting or not, there should be no reaction at all. Even if He Yuelian is dead, what remains is a vengeful ghost, and it should have started to take action by now."

Seeing that He Yuelian hadn't reacted except for waving her hand slightly, Li Jun and the others looked slightly puzzled.

But at that moment, a young woman's voice came from beneath the red veil: "Who are you people? Where are Zhang Xianguang and the others?"

"I said that as long as I successfully control the supernatural power, I will kill them all. Why have they all disappeared now? Are you in cahoots with Zhang Xianguang and his gang?"

When mentioning the name 'Zhang Xianguang,' He Yuelian's tone was icy cold, carrying a strong killing intent, clearly indicating that she wasn't just saying it.

"It seems that He Yuelian is the ultimate winner of this supernatural clash. It's unbelievable that she actually managed to control such terrifying supernatural power!"

Apart from Li Hui, everyone else at headquarters who heard He Yuelian's voice was stunned for a moment, but they quickly came to their senses.

Li Jun stepped forward and said, "We are all from the Ghost Rider Headquarters. As for Zhang Xianguang and the others, we have already dealt with them."

"They dared to bring such a large-scale supernatural event as the Ghost Painting into Dahan City, and caused a large number of civilian casualties. Under these circumstances, they all deserve to die, and none of them can escape!"

Li Jun's painting was loaded with meaning; while responding to He Yuelian, it was also a warning to her, telling her that even the most skilled ghost tamers would pay with their lives for reckless behavior.

He Yuelian was not stupid; she understood the implied meaning in Li Jun's painting.

For a while.

A silence fell over the room.

He Yuelian, under the red veil, frowned slightly. She was thinking, adapting to the supernatural power she had just mastered, and trying to explore her surroundings through the ghost realm.

He Yuelian was actually quite familiar with the Ghost Tamer headquarters that Li Jun mentioned, because her family's business was second to none in the entire Tai O City, and they were connected with Luo Sheng, the person in charge of Tai O City. Therefore, He Yuelian had known about the existence of the Ghost Tamer for a long time.

However, just as He Yuelian was pondering how to continue communicating with Li Jun and the others, or whether to use her Ghost Domain ability to leave, Li Hui, as if sensing her thoughts, spoke to her:
"Hello He Yuelian, my name is Li Hui, and I am the head of the Ghost Masters Headquarters in Dahang City. But that's not important. What's important is that, like you, I also wield the supernatural power of the Ghost Painting!"

"That's why I think it's necessary to remind you that as a newcomer to the paranormal world, although the paranormal power you wield may seem terrifying to others, there are many things you don't yet understand. Therefore, I hope you will consider joining headquarters."

"I want to know what benefits I can get by joining the Ghost Tamer Headquarters?" He Yuelian's tone was neither sad nor happy, making it impossible to discern her specific intentions.

Upon hearing this, Li Hui remained silent, but Li Jun spoke up again.

He said, "First of all, as an official department, joining headquarters will benefit you in all aspects of your future."

"In addition, the Ghost Master Headquarters has detailed records of paranormal events across the country and even the world, including ghost paintings and other such items. There are also people who specialize in researching paranormal-related content, which can help you become familiar with and control your own paranormal powers more quickly."

"Most importantly, the headquarters also has a lot of supernatural resources. Whether it is a vengeful ghost suitable for the ghost tamer to control, or other supernatural items, the headquarters has no shortage of them. Many of these supernatural items are very practical and can be of great help even to top ghost tamers!"

"..."

Li Jun first gave a brief introduction to the basic situation of the headquarters, and then talked about the advantages of the headquarters compared with those folk ghost-controlling organizations.

After all, the headquarters possesses a variety of supernatural items that other civilian ghost-controlling organizations in China do not have, and some of these items still hold great appeal for top ghost-controlling individuals.

Finally, Li Jun even said that the headquarters' attitude towards those civilian ghost tamers was not very friendly, especially those powerful ghost tamers, which was a reminder to He Yuelian.

But it’s no wonder.

After all, He Yuelian perfectly mastered the supernatural powers of Ghost Painting and Ghost Wedding Dress, becoming an anomaly from the start. She was powerful, but her character was unknown. If such a ghost tamer agreed to join the headquarters, that would be fine. But if she refused to join the headquarters, how could the people at the headquarters feel at ease?

He Yuelian was well aware of this and could understand it in her heart as well.

But even so.

She still asked a question that made Li Jun's face turn somewhat ugly.

"I understand what you've said about the advantages of the Ghost Rider Headquarters and the benefits one can enjoy, but I still want to know one more thing: what will happen if I refuse to join?"
