Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 202 The Two's Actions

"Fifty-three cases of mysterious disappearances, all involving women or children. According to what you said before, these things are very likely the work of a ghost tamer. But why would such a person do such a thing?"

Inside Zhang Lei's office, He Yuelian glanced at the file information in her hand and asked curiously.

"Moreover, these missing people seem to be unrelated and basically don't know each other. Could it be that the ghost tamer who secretly carried out this series of events is a psychopath?"

Besides this possibility, He Yuelian really couldn't understand what other possibility there was.

Unless Li Hui and his team make a mistake in their judgment.

The source of all this is not a folk ghost-controlling practitioner, but the work of a vengeful ghost in a paranormal event. However, this possibility is very low, far less likely than that of a psychopathic ghost-controlling practitioner.

"Do you have any information on folk ghost tamers in Hangzhou?" He Yuelian asked Zhang Lei, hoping to find some clues from the information on those folk ghost tamers.

"Have!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei handed over another stack of files from his desk.

He then continued, "Currently, there are two civilian ghost tamers in Dahang City, named Tang Lin and Zhao Longbo. Judging from the information revealed, they should each only be able to control one vengeful ghost."

"The supernatural power that Tang Lin controlled should be related to his feet, which doesn't match the supernatural power left behind at the locations where missing persons cases were discovered."

"As for the other ghost tamer's abilities, they are unknown, so I focused my suspicions on Zhao Longbo."

"Is it possible that Tang Lin and Zhao Longbo are not the only civilian ghost tamers in Dahang City, but that there are others hiding in the shadows, and that the ghost tamers who caused those people to mysteriously disappear were actually hidden ghost tamers?"

At this point, He Yuelian asked this question.

Although she has only recently become a ghost tamer and is a complete newcomer to the paranormal world, it doesn't mean she really knows nothing.

Growing up in the Ho family, a gambling dynasty in Tai O, Ho Yuet Lin received her family's education from a young age, which fostered her suspicious personality.

If these things were really done by either Tang Lin or Zhao Longbo, then it would be far too obvious. A little investigation would be enough to find out the truth. Therefore, He Yuelian suspected that there were other ghost tamers hiding in the shadows.

of course.

This was just her guess.

It cannot be ruled out that it was indeed one of Tang Lin and his companion who did it, but the other person was arrogant and did not intend to hide it, or disdained to hide it, which is why they did it this way.

After listening to He Yuelian's guess, Zhang Lei said, "It's unlikely that there are other ghost tamers in the shadows. Captain Li told me before that he used his ghost domain to cover the entire city and confirmed that there were only three ghost tamers in Dahang City besides himself at that time!"

"One of them was Zhao Fan, the former acting head of Dahang City. At that time, Zhao Fan had just finished the handover and was preparing to leave. Together with Tang Lin and Zhao Longbo, the three of them were the only ghost tamers in the entire city. There were no other ghost tamers besides them."

"Is this so..."

Upon hearing this, He Yuelian frowned slightly under her red veil, and then said, "If that's the case, then it's even easier to investigate. There are only two ghost tamers. Since you suspect that Zhao Longbo is more suspicious, then let's start by investigating him."

The words fell.

Without waiting for Zhang Lei's consent.

He Yuelian immediately took action.

Without her making any move, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. Grayish paper ash began to emerge continuously, spreading outwards from her body and quickly enveloping the entire city.

However, this eerie sight can only be seen by people who also possess supernatural abilities. To ordinary people, Dahang City remains the same Dahang City, with no change in its environment.

Having only recently mastered the supernatural art of ghost painting, He Yuelian has already demonstrated a powerful level of control.

"found it!"

suddenly.

He Yuelian's voice came from under the red veil, and then the light of the ghost realm flashed, and she and Zhang Lei's figures disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Have He Yuelian and the others started their operation?"

the other side.

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

Li Hui frowned as he looked at the hazy scene around him. He was naturally familiar with this kind of supernatural manifestation unique to ghost paintings, which was obviously He Yuelian using her ghost domain abilities.

At this moment, He Yuelian suddenly used the power of the Ghost Domain to cover the entire city of Hangzhou, which could only mean that she and Zhang Lei had started their operation and were using the power of the Ghost Domain to pinpoint the location of Zhao Longbo and Tang Lin.

"With their abilities, handling this matter shouldn't be difficult." After a moment's thought, Li Hui withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at the surroundings outside the window.

In his opinion.

Although He Yuelian has only recently become a Ghost Tamer, it does not prevent her from possessing top-tier strength in the world. She could easily kill two ordinary folk Ghost Tamers.

"As for Zhang Lei... although his potential is not bad, his own strength is still too weak. If he cannot improve quickly, he will not be of much help to me."

Li Hui wasn't a nanny, so he wouldn't specifically help Zhang Lei improve his strength. Therefore, Zhang Lei's current strength wasn't great, but being able to help him with some daily chores was enough.

After all, given Li Hui's current strength, the weakest person who could truly help him in his actions would have to be a top-tier ghost tamer.

However, top-tier ghost tamers are not so easy to create; they are the product of various coincidences and supernatural collisions. It is simply unrealistic to cultivate such ghost tamers artificially.

Therefore, even if Li Hui wanted to improve Zhang Lei's strength, he was somewhat at a loss.

at the same time.

A high-end private club in Dahang City.

Zhao Longbo, who had just finished a spa treatment, was lying on the bed in a high-end private room, smoking a cigar.

At this moment, he was the only person in the private room. The SPA technician who had given him the treatment had already left the room after finishing her service.

"Damn, this kind of life is so much more comfortable. I just eat, drink, and have fun every day. That Zhao Fan even tried to recruit me into headquarters. He was really clueless."

"It's obvious that ghost tamers are all short-lived ghosts. Instead of enjoying life, they want to work for others. It's said that the person in charge of Dahang City has been replaced, and Zhao Fan has been dismissed. Isn't that just plain stupid? The job is not only dangerous, but you also have to deal with one supernatural event after another. Most importantly, you might have to put up with all sorts of nonsense. This is really not a job for humans!"

Zhao Longbo thought to himself as he exhaled the cigar smoke from his mouth.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of his painful experience of working as a corporate slave in a company. It was because of this that Zhao Longbo vowed not to work for anyone after becoming a Ghost Tamer, not even the Ghost Tamer Headquarters, which was supposedly an official organization!

"Zi~Zi~"

Sudden.

It was during Zhao Longbo's recollection that...

The lights in his private room began to flicker incessantly, as if there was a faulty connection, making the already dim light even dimmer.

At the same time, something faint began to drift throughout the room.

It was clumps of paper ash, giving the room a hazy gray appearance, filling every corner of the room. Even the inside of the light bulb seemed to be filled with paper ash, and the light it emitted also turned into a hazy gray color.

"Is this an unknown paranormal phenomenon?"

"Is this clubhouse haunted?"

All of a sudden.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Longbo's expression changed drastically. He immediately got up, dressed, and prepared to find a way to escape.

For a ghost tamer like him, the most frightening thing is encountering sudden supernatural events, especially those that involve him.

"But how is this possible? Everything was fine before, how could an unknown vengeful ghost suddenly appear?"

While Zhao Longbo was extremely vigilant, he was also quite puzzled.

Although he didn't know much about the supernatural either, as a ghost tamer and having had several exchanges with Zhao Fan, the former acting head of Dahang City, Zhao Longbo was still clear about some basic information.

As far as he knows.

Vengeful spirits don't usually appear out of thin air; they are usually traceable. Either a vengeful spirit within a deceased ghost tamer has been revived, or a vengeful spirit has wandered into this area.

"The current situation should be the latter!"

Zhao Longbo mentally concluded that this sudden 'paranormal event' was indeed a supernatural occurrence.

The reason he made this judgment was quite simple: there were only two ghost tamers in Dahang City, and besides him, it was Tang Lin. Moreover, Tang Lin's physical condition was better than his, so how could a vengeful ghost suddenly revive?

More importantly, Zhao Longbo knew that the ghost Tang Lin controlled was completely different from the supernatural manifestation before him.

"An unknown vengeful ghost that just happened to wander here, and this kind of supernatural phenomenon that directly changes the surrounding environment... Could this be the ghost realm that Zhao Fan mentioned earlier?"

At this moment, Zhao Longbo's mind was racing. He was recalling the information about the Ghost Realm that he had learned from his conversation with Zhao Fan, and at the same time, he was thinking about what he should do next.

Being caught in a paranormal event, he was constantly at risk of being targeted and attacked by vengeful ghosts, so he was thinking about how to escape.

As for trying to resolve the source of the evil spirits behind this imprisonment?

Zhao Longbo didn't even think about it.

His strength wasn't particularly great; he was lucky if he could survive in supernatural events. Imprisoning vengeful ghosts was something only the responsible person should do, while his job was simply to stay alive.

Thinking.

Zhao Longbo immediately walked towards the door of the private room, wanting to see what was happening outside and decide what to do next.

Then, before he could even take two steps...

Zhao Longbo stopped in his tracks abruptly, staring in horror at the figure that had suddenly appeared in the room. Large beads of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

At that moment, a strange figure stood in the middle of the private room in front of him.

The woman was dressed in an old-fashioned red wedding gown, with a red veil covering her head, and even her feet were adorned with red embroidered shoes, making her look like a bride preparing to become a nun.

"A ghost... a vengeful ghost... is it targeting me?"

Zhao Longbo swallowed hard, his face filled with fear and confusion, as if he didn't understand why he had suddenly been targeted by a vengeful ghost.

"Damn it, I'm already being targeted by a vengeful ghost anyway, so I might as well go all out!"

The fear in Zhao Longbo's eyes slowly turned into ferocity, and at the same time, a cold and eerie aura emanated from his body, making him look equally bizarre.

However, just as Zhao Longbo was about to fight back, a man's voice came from behind him.

"If I were you, I definitely wouldn't choose to act rashly, whether facing a ghost tamer or a real vengeful ghost!"

The person speaking was Zhang Lei.

As he spoke to Zhao Longbo, his expression was incredibly complex, showing confusion, bewilderment, and astonishment, but mostly shock.

These emotions weren't brought to him by Zhao Longbo, but by He Yuelian standing beside him!
He hadn't expected that He Yuelian, who looked strange and was dressed in a red wedding gown, could also control the supernatural power of the ghost painting. And judging from the range covered by the ghost domain, it seemed to be no less than Li Hui's.

This reminded Zhang Lei of what Li Hui had said when introducing He Yuelian, that He Yuelian's strength was no less than that of the headquarters' captain, and that she was a top-notch ghost tamer.

Zhang Lei initially had doubts about this, but those doubts have long since vanished. Even though He Yuelian no longer possesses any other supernatural abilities besides her Ghost Domain, her Ghost Domain alone is enough to place her among the top Ghost Masters.

After all, this is a true S-class source of supernatural phenomena, the supernatural ability of the ghost drawing!
"Who are you?"

At this moment, Zhao Longbo turned his head and looked at Zhang Lei, asking a question. His eyes were scanning Zhang Lei up and down, and his face was full of vigilance.

But then, as if he had just thought of something, he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that you are the new person in charge of Dahang City?"

When he asked this question, Zhao Longbo's face showed anticipation.

If Zhang Lei's answer was as he suspected, and he was indeed the person in charge of Dahang City, then he might be saved, since the responsibility of the city's person in charge is to handle paranormal events that occur within the city.

vice versa.

If Zhang Lei weren't in charge, his situation would likely be even worse.

In this eerie environment, the simultaneous presence of a ghost tamer and a being suspected of being a vengeful ghost in his private room seemed rather strange.

"My name is Zhang Lei."

Seeing that He Yuelian didn't intend to speak, Zhang Lei temporarily took over the responsibility of communication and said to Zhao Longbo:
"Although I am not the person in charge of Dahang City, we are all team members under Captain Li, and also people from the Ghost Tamer Headquarters. By the way, the Captain Li I mentioned is the new city head of Dahang City!"

Zhang Lei first introduced himself, then changed the subject, saying, "I've come to you today to confirm something. My questions might involve some of your privacy, but you must answer truthfully!"

"Ask away! I will tell you everything I know truthfully and guarantee to cooperate fully with your investigation!"

Seeing Zhang Lei's serious expression, and knowing that he was a member of a team under the head of Dahang City, Zhao Longbo's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if he had done anything wrong recently, but he couldn't think of anything.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Lei's expression shifted, and he then said, "I want to know the number of vengeful spirits you control and all your supernatural abilities!"

The records provided by headquarters state that Zhao Longbo controlled a vengeful ghost, but its specific abilities are unknown. However, this is only the information recorded on the surface, and the details behind the scenes are unclear.

Putting aside the fact that it is an unknown supernatural ability, the number of ghosts that can be controlled may also be inaccurate, causing the information recorded in the files to be inconsistent with the actual situation.

After all, who can guarantee that Zhao Longbo might have already successfully controlled a second vengeful ghost in private?
That is precisely why.

That's why Zhang Lei chose to ask the question in this way; it was simple and straightforward.

As long as Zhao Longbo responds truthfully, all his information will be known. At that time, all that is needed is to see if Zhao Longbo's supernatural abilities match the supernatural traces left at the locations where missing persons cases were discovered.

As for whether Zhao Longbo might be lying and choosing to conceal some information.

Zhang Lei, however, was not worried about this at all.
