Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 20 The Face Cover

"Has the starving ghost incident broken out?"

Even without seeing the specific contents, Li Hui could guess the general contents of the file just from the few large characters marked on the file bag.

after all.

at this point in time.

In Dachang City, a major paranormal event occurred. These two events are linked together. What else could it be besides the starving ghost incident?
It can't be that the evil spirits of Yang Jian have been resurrected, and the ghost realm of the Ghost Eye has covered the entire city, right?
Upon opening the file, besides an A4 sheet of paper with written text, there were three photographs.

Li Hui first picked up the photo and looked at it. The photo was taken from a high angle, and it was taken using a satellite.

The first photo shows the general outline of a city, but the interior is not clearly visible, as a dark blue haze covers the entire city.

The gloomy haze had a very eerie color; its bluish-black hue resembled the bruises on a corpse that had been dead for many days, giving people an extremely cold and eerie feeling.

The second and third photos are similar to the first, showing the outline of Dachang City shrouded in haze, only the angles from which they were taken are slightly different.

Then Li Hui picked up the A4 paper and started looking at it.

The above content records the beginning of this major paranormal event:
Around 2 p.m., a bluish-black haze appeared over Dachang City. It was initially very thin, but became thicker over time.

Four p.m.

The dark blue-green haze had fully formed, enveloping the entire city of Dachang. People inside couldn't get out, and people outside couldn't get in. It was speculated that the dark blue-green haze was a ghost realm.

At this point, it can be confirmed that a large-scale paranormal event has occurred in Dachang City, with a ghostly aura covering the entire city. It is preliminarily determined that the paranormal event is very likely to be classified as an S-level event.

.........

The following section records that Wang Xiaoming was also in Dachang City at this time for various reasons, and was trapped inside and unable to escape.

The contents were not detailed and could not compare to the other files that Li Hui had previously reviewed.

This is understandable, since the Hungry Ghost incident had only just broken out, and even the code name hadn't been decided yet. No one knew what the vengeful ghost was or what its abilities were, so how could the recorded files be detailed?

Li Hui guessed.

At this point, even including himself, there should only be about five or six people who know the details of the starving ghost incident.

Old Qin from Dajing City certainly knew that he possessed the ability to communicate with his future self, and that his influence was behind many of the arrangements in Dachang City, especially those involving Yang Jian…

There's also the human skin paper in Yang Jian's hand, the wish ghost that deliberately manipulated and allowed all of this to happen behind the scenes, and the ghost cabinet, which can also be considered half of it.

"However, speaking of which, the Hungry Ghost was only confirmed as a paranormal event at 4 PM, and now it's only a little past 5 PM, yet the paranormal forum already has a preliminary file framework and satellite map photos. This information is a bit too timely..."

Li Hui's eyes flickered slightly, confirming his suspicion once again.

There are people on a paranormal forum at the Ghost Tamer headquarters.

In other words, among the big bosses behind the paranormal forums is the Ghost Master Headquarters, and a very high-ranking one at that.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Li Hui shook his head, no longer thinking about the paranormal forum. After all, he had no intention of joining, and he had no concern about who the big boss behind the forum was.

On the contrary, the paranormal events in Dachang City should attract his attention more.

After all, Dachang City has a lot of good things, but correspondingly, the city is also extremely dangerous, ranking among the top three.

"However, the starving ghost incident has only just begun and will last for nearly a month, so there's no rush to go to Dachang City."

In the paranormal world, a month is enough time for many people to die once. After all, there are cases where the time from controlling a vengeful ghost to its resurrection is less than a month.

Especially for those ghost tamers who wield extremely powerful supernatural abilities, the vengeful spirits will revive after only a few uses of their powers.

Li Hui felt that the most urgent thing was to heal his injuries first, as he still had a lot of bandages wrapped around his body.

Especially his arm, which had been dislocated and fractured after being punched by Ye Zhen, had only been reattached that morning. The doctor who treated him insisted on putting it in a cast, but Li Hui refused in the end.

Besides.

Li Hui's hands, covered in abrasions, were disinfected and treated with medicine. The deeper wounds were bandaged, while the shallower ones had already scabbed over.

The bandage on my hand wasn't very thick, so it didn't affect my daily life; at least eating and using the toilet weren't affected.

After placing the file he was holding on the coffee table, Li Hui walked out of the lounge, intending to get something to eat first.

As the daily office space for members of the paranormal forum, Mingzhu Building naturally has a canteen with a wide variety of dishes. Regardless of the taste, none of the ingredients are cheap; the main selling point is simply that.

luxury!

After finishing his meal, Li Hui went to the hotel he had booked in advance on his phone.

The money for the phone and the hotel was borrowed. Li Hui still remembers his reaction when he asked to borrow money. A Wu's strange look almost made him lose his composure, and his face almost turned red.

However, in the end, A-Wu still lent the money, and he was very generous. He gave Li Hui 100,000 instead of the 10,000 he borrowed, and said that he didn't need to pay it back, just consider it as making friends.

For a mere 100,000 yuan, he could gain the favor of a ghost tamer, which A-Wu considered a very worthwhile deal.

After all, he had already learned from Ye Zhen that Li Hui was very strong. In the entire paranormal forum, apart from his boss Ye Zhen, no one else was his match, including himself.

the most important is.

From Ye Zhen's words, A Wu understood that Ye Zhen wanted to recruit Li Hui into the paranormal forum. Therefore, with the idea of ​​making new colleagues, A Wu paid close attention to some of Li Hui's affairs.

For example... help him get an ID card!

It's hard to believe.

Even in this day and age, there are still people like Li Hui who are completely unregistered, with no information in their identity files. They can't be found in the system at all, as if this person never existed in the world. A-Wu really wonders how Li Hui managed to get into school.

However, this was no problem for the paranormal forum. They quickly got Li Hui his ID card, which was officially endorsed by Dahai City and valid nationwide.

.........

The hotel Li Hui booked was called the Four Seasons Hotel, a very ordinary name. It was located in the northern part of the city, not far from the Pearl Tower.

Despite its unappealing name, the hotel boasts a luxurious interior and stands at approximately 150 meters tall, with over 300 suites.

Upon arriving at the hotel lobby service desk, I successfully received my room key after presenting my identification.

Li Hui's room was on the 18th floor, and it took him half a minute just to get in the elevator.

Because he was wrapped in gauze and couldn't take a bath, Li Hui lay down on the bed as soon as he entered the room, then took out a piece of white cloth from his pocket and examined it.

The white cloth was rough and old; rather than being white, it was more like it had been stained a grayish color and was somewhat dirty, with the outline of a crying face imprinted on it. It was the same cloth that Li Hui had torn off the face covering of the weeping ghost in the haunted place.

The crying face on the veil was eerie, exuding a chilling aura. It was a vengeful ghost, which, in the original story, was eventually controlled by Tong Qian after Yang Jian's manipulation.

But now.

But the ghost face was in Li Hui's hands.
