Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 201: Preliminary Arrangements for He Yuelian

"So, is Li Hui hinting at something to me?"

Dahang City.

Inside the office on the top floor of the Wangting Building.

After listening to Li Hui's words, He Yuelian thought to herself, a thoughtful look appearing on her fair face under the red veil.

Li Hui just said that he would give one of his subordinates to be her partner in action. Does that mean that He Yuelian is also Li Hui's subordinate?

However, although He Yuelian thought this way, she did not say it out loud, but instead secretly pondered Li Hui's thoughts.

Because for now, she can only follow Li Hui's orders.

Whether she was overthinking things or Li Hui's words actually meant what she thought, she had no choice but to do as Li Hui suggested, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable for He Yuelian.

Although she hadn't known Li Hui for long, He Yuelian could tell that he was definitely not a man who would show mercy to women. If she couldn't demonstrate her value to Li Hui, He Yuelian believed that he would definitely kill her.

After all, the scene of Li Hui attacking her was still vivid in her mind.

The sense of powerlessness she felt when facing Li Hui, and the feeling of impending death, were things He Yuelian never wanted to experience again.

"dong dong dong~"

Just as He Yuelian's mind was racing, a knock came from outside the office, accompanied by a man's voice.

"Team Leader Li, it's me."

The voice belonged to Zhang Lei.

After receiving Li Hui's response, he pushed open the office door and walked in.

"Ok?"

The moment Zhang Lei entered the office, his gaze was drawn to He Yuelian, who was standing there. Her old-fashioned red wedding dress and red veil were truly unique.

"Is it a vengeful ghost? No, it should be a ghost tamer. Judging from her demeanor, could she be a new 'team member' recruited by Captain Li?"

Zhang Lei was secretly speculating in his mind.

He could sense that He Yuelian exuded a chilling aura, the kind of supernatural power that belonged to a vengeful ghost.

That's why Zhang Lei initially thought Li Hui was conducting some kind of experiment, releasing a vengeful ghost. But then he realized his assumption was wrong; He Yuelian was clearly a ghost tamer.

"Captain Li, what do you need me to do for you?"

Although Zhang Lei was curious about He Yuelian's identity, he did not forget his business and immediately asked Li Hui why he had been summoned. At the same time, he wondered if it was related to the unfamiliar ghost tamer in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Li Hui looked at Zhang Lei and then asked, "Is the house matter settled?"

"Yes, Captain Li."

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "With the help of Zhang Xue's assistant, I bought a three-bedroom, fully furnished apartment in 'Zhujiayuan' nearby. The community environment is very good, and most importantly, the location is very close to the company, which is convenient for my future work."

"I have to thank Captain Li for this. If I were to buy a house in a prime location in Hangzhou, I would probably have to work for headquarters for a long time before I could afford it."

Don't assume that Ghost Tamers will enjoy great salaries and benefits after joining headquarters. In reality, headquarters salaries are not high. The main benefits are various privileges and some supernatural resources.

As for those city officials, they all seem to have plenty of money, but in reality, they've just developed the city themselves.

After all, they are the top figures in a city no matter how you look at it. Wealthy people and capitalists from all walks of life will beg to hand over their money. Otherwise, if they relied on the meager salaries paid by headquarters, they would really struggle to even buy a house.

This is also an unwritten rule in the paranormal community.

Not to mention those city leaders, or even those ghost tamers who aren't even leaders, even large ghost tamer organizations like the Dahai City paranormal forum and the Dajing City social circle have a lot of capitalists behind them.

After all, money ensures safety.

Who can guarantee that they will never encounter paranormal events in their lifetime?

Therefore, in the eyes of those capitalists, it is necessary to be on good terms with certain powerful ghost tamers, because you never know when it might come in handy.

"Once the house issue is settled, your next task is to contact those folk ghost tamers, find out their backgrounds, and see if any of them are involved in those missing persons cases."

Li Hui continued, "For this reason, I specially found you a helper named He Yuelian. Her strength is no weaker than the captain at headquarters. She will be with you in the next operation. If you encounter any ghost tamers who do not cooperate, you can kill them on the spot without reporting to me."

Originally, Li Hui planned to give Zhang Lei a derivative portrait and then have several ghosts follow Zhang Lei. Now that He Yuelian has arrived, this step can be skipped. He can also use this opportunity to continue training Zhang Lei and see if He Yuelian still has other intentions. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

"By the way, take the file I gave you earlier to He Yuelian later, and then explain to her the information we already know. Okay, that's all for now. You two go down and discuss the next steps."

Li Hui no longer intends to participate in this operation targeting civilian ghost tamers, and plans to let Zhang Lei and He Yuelian take full charge. Therefore, he does not intend to offer any opinions.

"Okay, Captain Li, I understand."

"okay."

Zhang Lei and He Yuelian responded almost simultaneously in the office, but the former's response was respectful, while the latter's was more concise.

After exchanging greetings, the two walked out of Li Hui's office together.

Strange to say.

Although the red veil covered He Yuelian's entire head, her vision seemed unaffected, as if her gaze could penetrate the red veil.

"Your name is Zhang Lei, right? Can you tell me how you met Li Hui?"

In the elevator of Wangting Building, He Yuelian asked Zhang Lei in front of her, wanting to get more information about Li Hui from him so that she could make her next move.

This doesn't mean that He Yuelian had any intention of running away or planning to attack Li Hui.

to be frank.

The previous confrontation left a deep impression on He Yuelian. Li Hui even gave her the impression that he was almost invincible. He Yuelian wanted to know more about Li Hui so that she would not offend him in the future.

Hear the words.

A hint of reverence flashed across Zhang Lei's face.

He then said, "Actually, I haven't known Captain Li for very long, but he has been a great help to me!"

“I went to Dajing City a while ago to attend a training session at the Ghost Riders Headquarters. Then, Captain Li was also invited to attend a meeting at the headquarters. We stayed at the same hotel at the time, and after learning about this, I took the initiative to visit him.”

"..."

There was nothing to hide, nor was it a secret, so Zhang Lei recounted his first meeting with Li Hui and his subsequent decision to join Li Hui's team.

"I see. So Li Hui has the ability to slow down the resurgence of vengeful spirits, restore the physical health of ghost tamers, or even completely solve the problem of vengeful spirit resurgence?"

After listening to Zhang Lei's story, He Yuelian gained a deeper understanding of Li Hui.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhang Lei not only did not hide it, but also deliberately publicized Li Hui's abilities in front of He Yuelian.

Because in his opinion.

If others were to be rumored to be able to solve the problem of the resurgence of vengeful spirits among ghost tamers, they might face great danger. However, for a top ghost tamer like Li Hui, the exposure of this ability would actually deepen the loyalty of his ghost tamers.

Currently, He Yuelian still calls him "Li Hui," which proves that He Yuelian is not yet considered one of Li Hui's team members. However, Zhang Lei believes this is only temporary, and He Yuelian will inevitably become his teammate later.

That being the case.

Zhang Lei naturally didn't mind letting He Yuelian 'understand' Li Hui a little better.

After all, the ability to help people resolve the resurgence of vengeful spirits is a lifeline in the eyes of any ghost tamer.

"By the way, Li Hui mentioned before that the civilian ghost tamers in Dahang City might be related to missing persons cases. What's going on with that?" He Yuelian, under the red veil, asked again.

Faced with this question, which is closely related to their upcoming mission, Zhang Lei replied in a solemn tone: "This is just a guess, and it cannot be completely confirmed yet, but the possibility is very high. You will know the specifics after you have read the file."

While talking.

The elevator stopped on the 25th floor.

This is the floor where Zhang Lei's office is located.

Led by Zhang Lei, He Yuelian, dressed in a red wedding gown, followed him into the office located at the very back of the floor.

"Here you are, this is the file."

As they spoke, Zhang Lei picked up a stack of files from his desk and handed them to He Yuelian, explaining as he did so:

"This contains files on all the recent bizarre disappearances in Dahang City. After Captain Li's investigation, it has been confirmed that these people's disappearances are related to the supernatural, and it is very likely that they were done by a ghost tamer."

Upon hearing this, He Yuelian subconsciously took the file and began to examine it.

at the same time.

Dahan City.

After Li Hui, Wang Chaling, Liu San, and Shen Lin left, Li Jun and Jiang Shangbai also boarded a private plane back to Dajing City. As for the final work in Dahan City, it was naturally overseen by Sun Rui, who was in charge of the city.

In this incident, Sun Rui was not killed. However, given his strength, he was not capable of participating in the previous actions of Li Hui and others. They didn't even bother to ask him about the situation. At that time, Li Hui directly used the Ghost Domain to lead several captains from headquarters to the village where Zhang Xianguang and others were located.

"Is this the place where the team leaders from headquarters fought against the ghostly paintings and supernatural phenomena?"

In a village in Shuangqiao Town, Sun Rui, who had just led a team there, frowned as he looked at the seemingly normal village.

The information provided to him by headquarters was that the ghost painting had been disposed of, and the other supernatural items had also been taken away. He only needed to appease the public in Dahan City and handle some cleanup work in the city.

But in the end, Sun Rui still arrived at this village located in Shuangqiao Town, Dahan City.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the information provided by headquarters, nor that he didn't trust the captain's abilities. Rather, this incident was related to an S-level supernatural painting, and as the person in charge of Dahan City, he had to come and see for himself, both morally and logically. Only in this way could Sun Rui be completely at ease.

"It seems perfectly normal, with no trace of anything supernatural left behind. Sure enough, the captain at headquarters is quite reliable." Sun Rui thought to himself after taking a look around.

However, it was at this very moment that...

The appearance of a figure caught his attention.

He was a middle-aged man, probably in his thirties, wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a calm gaze and an overall air of vicissitude. He was walking on the village road, and it seemed that he was planning to walk out of the village.

Normally, a middle-aged man like this wouldn't attract much attention; at most, people would only glance at him because of his Zhongshan suit.

However, things are different now.

After all, the source of the ghost painting had appeared here not long ago, and several captains from headquarters had dealt with the ghost painting here. At this moment, looking around the entire village, only that middle-aged man was walking out. Something was definitely not right.

Sun Rui immediately gave a wink to the staff he had brought, and one of them immediately understood and went to meet the man in the Zhongshan suit who was walking out of the village.

"Hey you, wait a minute. We're investigators from the Dahan City Public Security Bureau. We have something to ask you, so please cooperate with our investigation!"

The staff member at the front showed his identification.

To facilitate their daily work, they were indeed registered under their names within the public security system, so there was nothing wrong with the identification they presented.

"Is there something you need?" The middle-aged man in the Zhongshan suit stopped and asked in a slightly low voice.

"What is your name?"

At this moment, Sun Rui, leaning on a golden cane, limped over and said to the middle-aged man, "In addition, we also need your place of origin, current address, workplace, and other information!"

Whether it was an illusion or not, Sun Rui suddenly felt that the surrounding light had dimmed considerably as he approached the middle-aged man, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop sharply as well.

At the same time, upon hearing Sun Rui's question, the man in the Zhongshan suit calmly and slowly stated his name.

"Zhang Xianguang!"

.........

the other side.

On the special plane, Li Jun was also reporting to headquarters on the details of their operation. He had only briefly mentioned that the ghost painting and supernatural phenomena had been dealt with before, and it was only now that he began to recount the details.

"You mean, the Ghost Painting was deliberately lured to Dahan City so that someone could control it, and they succeeded, and then Li Hui took that person away?"

Zhao Jianguo's voice came from the other end of the phone.

You can hear it.

At this moment, Zhao Jianguo must have been in a state of great shock, speaking loudly and with a tone of surprise.

"Yes."

Li Jun continued, "The person who controlled the ghost painting was named He Yuelian. The group that orchestrated all of this was a group of veteran ghost controllers whose specific identities are unknown, but the leader was named Zhang Xianguang. They were all killed when they fought against us."

to be frank.

Li Jun wasn't entirely sure whether Zhang Xianguang, the leader, was dead or not.

After all, judging from the situation at the time, Li Hui and Zhang Xianguang clearly knew each other, and since the confrontation between Li Hui and Zhang Xianguang did not take place under their noses, Li Jun was not too sure about Zhang Xianguang's fate.

However, since Li Hui did not stop them from killing Nie Yingping and the others, Li Jun believed that Li Hui most likely did not let Zhang Xianguang go and killed him on the spot.

"Was He Yuelian, who controlled the Ghost Painting, taken away by Li Hui...?"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Jianguo on the other end of the phone continued, "Forget it, we'll talk about these things when you get back. We'll compile a detailed file then, since it's related to the S-level supernatural painting. We'll give it to Professor Wang and see if we can figure out anything from it."

"okay!"

Li Jun responded and then hung up the phone. As for Jiang Shangbai, he didn't say a word the whole time, just listened quietly, sitting motionless in his seat on the private jet, like a statue.
