Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 208: Li Hui, the Substitute, Appears Online; Messenger's Operation Hindered

"Judging from this situation, the supernatural phenomena in Dahai City are not simple. I estimate that no one will be able to deal with them for a while."

"If we wait outside the city, it could take a long time. It's better to go in, deliver the message as soon as possible, and find a way to leave sooner."

"After all, Zhou Rui is right. That vengeful ghost may not necessarily be related to our delivery mission. We may not be targeted by the vengeful ghost after we enter the city. But if that vengeful ghost is indeed related to our delivery mission, then this is a crisis that we cannot avoid."

"Most importantly, we only have five days to complete this delivery mission, and we simply cannot afford to waste any more time on it!"

Outside the city center of Dahai.

Lin Shan drove the bus slowly along the wide highway, his face gloomy as he looked at the gray city ahead, quickly thinking of a solution.

They now only have two paths ahead of them.

They could either enter the city now, but face the corresponding dangers, as everyone might be targeted by the vengeful ghost, or wait outside the city to see if the situation would change and if the supernatural phenomenon that shrouded the entire city would dissipate.

The former carries a higher risk factor, while the latter has a higher degree of uncertainty.

finally.

After some thought, Lin Shan still preferred the former and chose to go directly into the city now, intending to deliver the letter as soon as possible and then burn the letter to use the Ghost Post Office's passage to leave.

The reason he made this choice was because the letter they were to deliver was a red letter, which made him seriously suspect that the red letter was related to the supernatural events that had enveloped Dahai City.

That's why Lin Shan wanted to deliver the letter as soon as possible and leave. After all, if things were as he thought, it would prove that the supernatural events in Dahai City were unavoidable for them, and waiting would be futile.

Lin Shan has always been a decisive and efficient person; once he has made up his mind, he will not hesitate any longer.

He immediately addressed the group of messengers in the carriage, saying, "I've made up my mind. We'll go in now, deliver the message as soon as possible, and leave sooner rather than later. The longer we delay, the more unpredictable things might become!"

The words fell.

Lin Shan stepped on the gas.

The bus, which had been moving slowly, suddenly picked up speed and headed towards the city center of Dahai.

"Are we going in now, without checking the situation outside?"

"Wouldn't it be quite dangerous to go in now?"

"Nonsense, the whole city is haunted, how could it not be dangerous!"

"..."

Immediately, the people in the bus started discussing it again.

However, although some of them questioned Lin Shan's choice, none of them actually took any action. They all questioned him verbally, and no one actually went up to ask Lin Shan to park his car outside the city and wait for him.

The reason for this is that the red letter that everyone is going to deliver is on Lin Shan's person. In addition, Lin Shan is a genuine ghost tamer!
The most important point is.

Although Lin Shan's choice differed from the opinions of some of them, it coincided with the thoughts of another group, so they had no choice but to agree.

"We can only hope that Lin Shan's judgment and choice are correct!"

The people in the carriage sighed.

at the same time.

The city center of the sea.

The high altitude next to the Pearl Tower.

Li Hui and Ye Zhen stood suspended in mid-air.

Neither of them was standing on anything, defying science and gravity, and they floated in the air like two ghosts.

"So this counts as a successful copy?" Ye Zhen spoke first, his gaze fixed on the back of Li Hui's hand as he spoke.

The strange red light that had enveloped his body just now originated from the back of Li Hui's hand, and then faded away after enveloping his body for about ten seconds.

Ye Zhen wasn't sure whether Li Hui had successfully copied the substitute ghost within him or failed, so he asked directly.

"Yes, the copy was successful." Li Hui nodded calmly, his gaze not on Ye Zhen, but on the phone tattoo on the back of his hand.

Suddenly, a new design appeared on the phone's tattoo screen, looking remarkably similar to Ye Zhen, who was standing in mid-air opposite them. It was almost like a miniature full-body photo of Ye Zhen.

"Thirteen seconds, seventy percent of the supernatural intensity!" Li Hui thought to himself.

The eerie red light from the phone tattoo enveloped Ye Zhen's body for a total of 13 seconds, corresponding to a direct replication of 70% of the supernatural intensity of Ye Zhen's entire body.

It wasn't just the scapegoat ghost, but all the supernatural phenomena surrounding Ye Zhen, including the 'fighting ghost' residing on his arm and the supernatural phenomena present in other parts of his body.

All the supernatural phenomena replicated by the phone tattoo are 70% of the original intensity: 70% scapegoat ghosts, 70% boxing ghosts, 70%...

"Not bad. Although it's not 100%, 70% of the supernatural strength is equivalent to 0.7 times Ye Zhen's combat power. This level of supernatural power can at least create a first-class, or even top-tier, ghost tamer in the supernatural world!"

Thinking this to himself, Li Hui's face remained expressionless, completely calm from beginning to end, as if he had no emotional fluctuations, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

"Did the copy succeed?"

Ye Zhen, on the other side, frowned slightly upon hearing this, and then said, "Since that's the case, why don't I, Ye, personally test it out? I'd like to know the specifics of your copying of the supernatural entity you just replicated from me."

Say it.

Without waiting for Li Hui to refuse.

Ye Zhen took the lead in taking action.

He took a step forward, appearing strangely in front of Li Hui, and at the same time, he swung his right hand out sharply, striking Li Hui's body at an extremely tricky angle.

Seeing this, Li Hui neither dodged nor avoided, but stood still, his whole body exuding a cold aura.

This is a supernatural phenomenon involving a scapegoat!

At this moment, Li Hui was taking the fall, preparing to take the damage from Ye Zhen's punch while simultaneously sacrificing himself.

However, at this moment, only Ye Zhen was around, which meant that Ye Zhen directly became Li Hui's scapegoat.

In just a moment, that chilling aura enveloped Ye Zhen's entire body.

Upon realizing this, Ye Zhen's eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed, "It really is a scapegoat's supernatural ability! This is simply unbelievable! There really are vengeful ghosts in this world that can replicate other supernatural abilities!"

As he spoke, Ye Zhen stopped what he was doing. The punch he had thrown stopped abruptly in front of Li Hui, without actually hitting him.

Ye Zhen understood the supernatural power of scapegoats better than anyone else. If he were to throw that punch, he would be the only one to suffer the consequences, unless he also chose to die in someone else's place while being injured.

"Hey, wait..."

suddenly.

Ye Zhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Li Hui, "Li Wudi, I suddenly thought of a question. If you use the supernatural power of the scapegoat to kill me, and I also kill you in your place, then who will ultimately suffer the damage from the supernatural attack?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hui glanced at Ye Zhen with a strange expression and then said, "If this situation really occurs, then without considering other factors, I will ultimately bear the consequences of the supernatural attack."

"Because the supernatural phenomena I replicated were incomplete, and due to the collision and influence of these phenomena, the scapegoat supernatural phenomena I possessed were not as powerful as the scapegoat supernatural phenomena you controlled."

"Is that so? I thought the supernatural attack would be gradually neutralized by the two of us taking each other's lives. I was even thinking of conducting an experiment, but it seems there's no need to continue now." Ye Zhen's face showed a hint of regret.

Then he changed the subject, saying, "Your high-profile mobilization this time, Li Wudi, must be more than just coming to Dahai City to replicate the scapegoat supernatural power I control, right?"

"Speak, what are your plans next? Do you need my help? Just say the word, and I'll go with you even if you want to take down the headquarters of that so-called King Organization. The two of us together are enough to sweep across the world!"

At this moment, Ye Zhen still remembered the King Organization's surprise attack on Dahai City and wanted to persuade Li Hui to go abroad with him to completely eliminate the other members of the King Organization.

"It's infuriating! That so-called King Organization dared to disregard the two invincible 'Ye and Li' of us. Such an organization has no reason to exist!"

Ye Zhen said indignantly, "If you ask me, why don't we take action now and wipe out that King Organization in one fell swoop? This will shock the world and let them know how powerful we are!"

"The King's Organization?" At this moment, Li Hui also remembered what had happened earlier.

Six or seven kings were dispatched in succession, just to kill him and Ye Zhen on the outskirts of Dachang City, but they were killed instead.

In the end, apart from one person whose identity was uncertain and who managed to escape, the remaining six kings—the manor owner, the noblewoman, the twins, the missionary, the painter, and Simon—were all killed on the spot. The corpses of five of the kings, along with their vengeful spirits, are still imprisoned deep within Li Hui's ghost realm.

The reason there are five kings is because the noblewoman was killed by Ye Zhen, and her body was taken away by Ye Zhen.

However, what Li Hui didn't know was that after he left, Ye Zhen discovered the gravedigger who hadn't gone far, and the two sides even had a big battle, but in the end the gravedigger successfully escaped.

Furthermore, during that great battle, Ye Zhen used a scapegoat to control the noblewoman's supernatural power, but only briefly. Afterwards, he separated the noblewoman's supernatural power and imprisoned it completely.

While thinking.

Li Hui said, "We'll talk about the King's Organization later. I have other things to attend to right now. If I decide to take action against the King's Organization later, I will definitely let you know!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Sudden.

As if sensing something, Li Hui suddenly turned his head and looked in another direction from Dahai City, towards the road leading from the suburbs into the city.

Almost at the same time that Li Hui turned his head, Ye Zhen on the other side also closed his eyes to sense it for a moment, and then looked in that direction with a cold expression.

"Dahai City is really lively today. First, you, Li Wudi, came uninvited, your ghost domain covering the entire city. Now, other ghost tamers and some ordinary people with supernatural auras on their bodies have come in groups. They really don't take me, Ye, and the supernatural forum seriously!"

Then Ye Zhen suddenly disappeared from the spot and returned to the interior of the Pearl Building, appearing out of thin air in his assistant A Wu's office.

Then Ye Zhen pointed to a location on the map of Dahai City and said to A Wu, "A Wu, go and take a look at this place."

“A group of rats have infiltrated Dahai City. Their license plate number is ‘*******’. You lead a team to find out their purpose in coming to Dahai City. You can handle the rest yourself.”

"Okay, boss, I got it."

A-Wu nodded, then hesitated before saying, "By the way, boss, this ghost domain that covers the entire Dahai City..."

"This is Li Hui's ghost realm. You don't need to worry about this. Just take care of the things I've assigned you. I'll handle the rest myself," Ye Zhen said.

"Ok."

After A-Wu responded, he got up and left, preparing to act as Ye Zhen instructed, to see what Ye Zhen meant by "those rats," and then decide how to deal with them.

at the same time.

Meanwhile, the bus carrying Lin Shan and the other messengers also entered Dahai City under Lin Shan's driving, heading towards the location of Fushouyuan according to the navigation prompts.

The speed wasn't particularly fast, but it certainly wasn't slow either; 60 km/h is practically on the edge of speeding in the city.

Everyone in the carriage looked around nervously. The gloomy scene was too eerie. They were on guard against the dangers that might appear at any time, and were worried that they might be targeted and attacked by a vengeful ghost.

that's it.

The bus carrying more than a dozen messengers traveled along the city streets, eventually passing through intersections and heading towards its destination.

However, just as Lin Shan and his group were about to arrive at the area where Fushouyuan was located, a piercing police siren sounded. Then, two police cars appeared behind the bus at some unknown time, followed by several luxury cars.

The presence of police cars leading the way left the messengers inside the carriage speechless, wondering about the identities of the people in the luxury cars behind.

However, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could never have imagined that the people riding in those luxury cars were the same people from the paranormal forum who were targeting them.

"Pull over, bus!"

"Pull over, bus!"

"..."

At that moment, a loudspeaker blared a shout from behind the bus.

Along with the shouts came the very clear, piercing, and loud sound of police sirens.

"Lin Shan, the police car behind us seems to be telling us to stop," Lucy said to Lin Shan, who was driving.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shan glanced at her speechlessly, thinking to himself that he wasn't deaf and naturally heard the police sirens behind him.

At the same time, Lin Shan was puzzled and didn't understand what was going on. He guessed that they might be asked to stop and give way, since he was sure that his bus had not violated any rules.

Despite his doubts, Lin Shan's actions were swift and decisive. He turned, slowed down, and gradually pulled over to the side of the road, completing the maneuver in one smooth motion.

at the same time.

A sudden screech of brakes followed.

Two police cars and four black luxury cars surrounded their bus.

Then the car door opened.

A-Wu led a group of staff from the paranormal forum toward the bus carrying Lin Shan and the others.
