Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 199 Clash between Li Hui and He Yuelian

What happens if I refuse to join?

As He Yuelian's voice, half questioning and half probing, rang out, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The expressions on the faces of everyone present except Li Hui changed. Wang Chaling, Liu San, and Shen Lin showed some surprise, while Jiang Shangbai's expression was somewhat incredulous, as if he hadn't expected He Yuelian to give such an answer.

As for Li Jun...

His reaction was the strongest among them. The moment He Yuelian's voice rang out, his face darkened, and he said to He Yuelian in a deep voice:
"Although headquarters will not force any ghost tamer to join, your situation is somewhat different from other ghost tamers. It is the product of human calculation and supernatural conflict. Most importantly, it is the supernatural ability you control."

Li Jun continued, "The supernatural power of the ghost painting is too unique. Perhaps you don't understand how terrifying it is yet, but what I want to say is that you are like a child holding a submachine gun, who could cause unimaginable harm at any moment."

"Therefore, headquarters cannot tolerate such a special existence as you being left unchecked. In fact, if you insist on not joining headquarters, we will take you down right here and now, without even waiting for orders from headquarters!"

Li Jun's tone was very serious, and his expression was also very solemn. He was clearly not joking. If He Yuelian refused the headquarters' invitation, he really intended to kill her directly.

A dangerous presence, like a ticking time bomb, is someone Li Jun cannot allow to remain outside headquarters.

If it were just a matter of insufficient strength, that would be one thing, but with six captains present, the combined strength of the group should make it easy for them to kill a newcomer who has just become a Ghost Rider, even if the opponent is wielding a ghost painting!
"So can I take this as a threat against me?"

At this moment, He Yuelian's voice came from under the red veil, her words already carrying a hint of anger, and her whole person gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.

"You can think of it that way too."

Li Jun's tone remained stiff, and his expression serious, seemingly disregarding whether he would completely offend He Yuelian as a result.

"The choice is in your hands. You either accept the invitation to join headquarters, or you're confident you can escape unscathed from our six-person attack. You must answer that today!"

As he spoke, Li Jun was already prepared to strike at any moment, exuding a chilling aura, with ghostly green flames burning fiercely in his eyes.

Hearing these threatening words, He Yuelian did not respond, but she proved her choice with her actions.

At that moment, she seemed to become somewhat unreal, and at the same time, the amount of paper ash floating down from the sky increased.

Everything around them was gradually becoming blurry, but He Yuelian's cold, pale hands became clearer in everyone's eyes.

"Ok?"

The others who noticed this immediately became alert.

Shen Lin's body was also becoming illusory, as if it was about to disappear from the real world and enter the world of memories. Jiang Shangbai was also becoming cold and eerie, and an eerie aura was spreading. The paper doll Liu San gathered together.

At this moment, everyone was prepared to deal with He Yuelian's attack.

Although Wang Chaling, an 'ordinary person,' did not change in the slightest, he gave orders to the terrifying spirits of his grandparents to protect himself.

next moment.

Two eerie old men, resembling black and white portraits, stood in front of and behind Wang Chaling, protecting him completely.

Immediately afterward, a terrifying supernatural phenomenon spread. The supernatural elements belonging to the ghost painting were all affected and distorted by the supernatural power of the two terrifying old men, resulting in a 'blank' area appearing in this gray ghost realm.

This area is within the supernatural influence range of the two kings' generation. Even the supernatural power of the ghost painting cannot invade it, and the constantly falling gray paper ash is isolated.

However, apart from Wang Chaling and Li Hui, the others were more or less affected by He Yuelian's supernatural influence.

Shen Lin, Li Jun, and Liu San were relatively unaffected because of their supernatural abilities. However, Jiang Shangbai, who was the weakest among them, was the most affected.

Seeing He Yuelian's cold, pale hand slowly rising, about to launch an attack on the crowd, Jiang Shangbai's expression changed drastically, and he shouted:

"He Yuelian, you need to think this through. If you fight us, let alone your chances of winning, even if you manage to escape, you will be hunted down by headquarters afterwards. At that time, even if you control the Ghost Painting, a top-notch supernatural ability, you still won't be able to fight against the entire Ghost Master Headquarters!"

Although the tone was stern, the way Jiang Shangbai spoke at that moment gave the impression that he was all bark and no bite.

"So you're scared? If everyone at headquarters is like you, what can they do even if I offend them?"

He Yuelian's voice rang out, her tone seemingly mocking.

Not only He Yuelian, but Liu San and the others beside her also glanced at Jiang Shangbai with some dissatisfaction. Then Li Jun spoke up:
"We've already given you a chance, but you insisted on doing it this way. Since that's the case, don't blame us for keeping you here today and completely imprisoning the ghostly drawings on your body!"

The words fell.

Li Jun took immediate action.

A bluish-green ghost domain light shone forth, completely unaffected by He Yuelian's ghost domain, forcefully opening its own ghost domain within He Yuelian's and then enveloping her.

At the same time, Liu San and Shen Lin also took action, as did Jiang Shangbai. Despite his fear, he immediately cooperated with Li Jun and the others, preparing to kill He Yuelian right there.

At the same time, He Yuelian's already raised fair hand made the next move.

She waved in the direction of Li Jun and the others, as if she were greeting them and asking them to come over.

This is the movement from He Yuelian's memory, a supernatural occurrence associated with the ghost wedding dress she wore.

In her memory, the woman from the Republican era often used this kind of beckoning spirit to fight enemies. It was very effective whether she was dealing with ghost tamers or real vengeful ghosts!
next moment.

A supernatural outbreak of ghostly activity.

Just as this supernatural phenomenon was about to affect Li Jun and the others, and at the same time, the supernatural attack by Li Jun and the others was about to take effect on He Yuelian, Li Hui's voice rang out at the right time.

"Alright, everyone, stop!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear, carrying an unquestionable tone, and reached the ears of Li Jun and several other headquarters captains, as well as He Yuelian.

Upon hearing this, Li Jun was somewhat puzzled and even felt a little dissatisfied. However, Li Hui was the person in charge of their operation, so his military instinct to obey orders made him stop immediately. However, the ghost domain was not withdrawn and still enveloped the surrounding area.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Lin, Liu San, and Jiang Shangbai also stopped.

However, the fact that the team leaders at headquarters stopped did not stop He Yuelian's actions. Her fair and cold hands continued to beckon, and a terrifying supernatural aura spread over Li Jun and the others, summoning the evil spirits within them.

Seeing this, Li Hui's expression turned cold, and he spoke again: "He Yuelian, are you deaf? Or do you think that after becoming a Ghost Tamer you are invincible and can look down on everyone else?"

While speaking, Li Hui also made his move, preparing to teach He Yuelian a lesson through his actions.

In his opinion.

The main reason why He Yuelian's personality differs from that in the original work is that she did not experience the beatings and training from Yang Jian before becoming a ghost tamer, as was the case in the original work. This resulted in He Yuelian's personality being different from the He Yuelian he knew.

"No, that's not right. Perhaps this He Yuelian is the most authentic version of herself right now?" At this moment, Li Hui thought of something else.

In the original novel, He Yuelian obediently joined the headquarters mainly because she was wary of Yang Jian and her memories had been affected. Later, after Yang Jian disappeared after soaking in the ghost blood, she directly withdrew from the headquarters and was no longer under its jurisdiction. In the end, she was frightened by Yang Jian's return and rejoined the headquarters.

From this perspective, He Yuelian's personality is indeed like this; it's just that in the original work, she was intimidated and influenced by Yang Jian.

While thinking.

Li Hui's supernatural abilities have had a significant impact on the surrounding environment.

His ghost domain rapidly expanded, and paper ash filled the air. However, the paper ash was no longer the usual gray color, but had turned pitch black, as was Li Hui's ghost domain.

This is the ultimate darkness!

Everything in reality was swallowed up and assimilated when it came into contact with this darkness, becoming part of this dark world, including He Yuelian's gray ghost domain and Li Jun's green ghost domain.

"This kind of supernatural phenomenon... this is no longer just a simple ghost painting or ghost realm. This darkness... this is the ghost realm of the vengeful ghost in that ghost coffin, and it's even more than that. How did Li Hui manage to do this? Could it be that he controlled that vengeful ghost?"

The moment Li Hui's ghost domain opened, Li Jun immediately noticed the anomaly and recognized the inky darkness.

However, it was precisely because he recognized her that Li Jun felt puzzled. But Li Hui obviously wouldn't bother to answer his question. At this moment, he was preparing to teach He Yuelian a lesson she would never forget.

In the darkness, he stretched out his hand and waved towards He Yuelian's location.

Suddenly.

The supernatural power of summoning ghosts manifested and took effect on He Yuelian.

next moment.

The eerie, supernatural power of the two waving hands canceled each other out.

He Yuelian failed to influence the vengeful spirits inside Li Jun and the others, and Li Hui also failed to influence the vengeful spirits controlled by He Yuelian; he merely neutralized the supernatural power of her summoning ghosts.

"Your name is Li Hui, right?"

At this moment, He Yuelian's voice rang out: "You said before that the supernatural being you control is the same as mine, both being supernatural beings from ghost paintings, but why does your ghost domain behave so differently from mine?"

"Moreover, I have completely mastered the ghost painting. I can feel that its supernatural power is complete and there are no missing pieces. So where did the ghost painting you are mastering come from? Could it be that there are two ghost paintings in this world?"

Although He Yuelian is indeed a newcomer to becoming a ghost tamer, because she has integrated the memories of the 'Republic of China Yuelian', she knows far more than many veteran ghost tamers, including the concept of ghost puzzles.

Upon hearing this, Li Hui did not offer an answer. Instead, he accelerated the influence of his own ghost domain on He Yuelian's ghost domain, invading her ghost domain.

Although Li Hui only replicated 70% of the supernatural elements in the Ghost Painting, which was not as complete as the Ghost Painting controlled by He Yuelian, he also replicated the Ghost Messenger (the Hungry Ghost) and other supernatural elements. With all these supernatural elements combined, the strength of his Ghost Domain had actually already surpassed that of the complete Ghost Painting.

Furthermore, He Yuelian had only recently become a Ghost Tamer, and even with the help of the memories of the Republic of China Yuelian, she was still unable to perfectly control this supernatural power. Therefore, the Ghost Realm was easily invaded by Li Hui.

The pitch-black ghost domain rapidly expanded, covering an area far larger than He Yuelian's ghost domain. From the outside, it appeared as if his ghost domain had enveloped He Yuelian's ghost domain.

next moment.

This inky dark world rapidly contracted, completely suppressing He Yuelian's ghost realm.

The moment the two ghost realms collided, He Yuelian's ghost realm was affected. The gray ghost realm was not only being stained black, but countless black paper ash were also floating inside the ghost realm. The entire ghost realm was becoming blurred, as if it might completely dissipate at any moment.

This is just the beginning.

Before He Yuelian could react to the suppression of her ghost domain, figures of young men began to appear out of thin air around her.

These figures looked exactly like Li Hui and carried a terrifying, eerie aura. Then, they simultaneously stretched out their palms and reached out to grab He Yuelian's body.

"Wait, stop! I'm willing to join the Ghost Tamer Headquarters!"

Seeing this, He Yuelian was clearly flustered. Her voice came out again from under the red veil, trying to get Li Hui to stop his attack on her.

However, Li Hui ignored He Yuelian's slightly pleading voice. The hands of those figures continued to grab at He Yuelian's body, and a terrifying supernatural aura spread from their hands, clearly intending to completely suppress her.

Just as their hands were about to touch He Yuelian, the red ghost wedding dress she was wearing began to flutter, and an unknown supernatural curse spread, seemingly trying to resist the attack of these figures' hands.

However, it ultimately failed.

These people's palms not only carry the supernatural power of buses, but also the supernatural power of ghost messengers, starving ghosts, and vengeful ghosts devoured by them, as well as ghost paintings, ghost wedding dresses, and many other vengeful ghosts.

Faced with such an attack, the ghost wedding dress He Yuelian was wearing was instantly suppressed, becoming eerie and silent, looking just like an ordinary red wedding dress.

"Pat," "Pat," "Pat"...

The next moment, all those hands grabbed He Yuelian's body. During this time, she tried to resist, but in the end, it was all in vain.

Li Hui's attack was too powerful.

This terrifying supernatural supernatural combination is something that even the real He Yuelian from the Republic of China era might not be able to completely withstand, let alone He Yuelian at this moment!
