Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 212 The Contingency Plan Left by Graveyard Owner Luo Qian
Tatata!
In this eerie place filled with a dark and strange atmosphere, Ye Zhen walked alone through this endless graveyard, carrying a bizarre longsword that was severely twisted and deformed in his hand, his eyes scanning the strange environment around him.

Shortly after Li Hui brought Ye Zhen into this supernatural place, the two separated. Li Hui used his ghost domain to leave, abandoning Ye Zhen there.

"According to what Li Wudi said before, each grave mound contains supernatural beings. Just how many vengeful ghosts exist in this graveyard?"

Ye Zhen frowned slightly.

What comes into view.

The view was completely dark.

What came into view was a boundless graveyard, with mounds of varying sizes and ages scattered all around, stretching into the dark depths of the distance.

Some of the mounds have tombstones in front of them, with portraits and names printed on them, while others have long since sunken in, as if something inside has left the mound and can no longer support the continued existence of the raised earthen mound.

"And if what Li Wudi said is true, doesn't that mean that many vengeful ghosts have already escaped from the graves and are likely wandering around the graveyard right now?"

Ye Zhen withdrew his gaze from the sunken and collapsed burial mounds, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes. Then, he looked eagerly at the relatively intact burial mounds around him.

"However, the supernatural phenomena on the outskirts are generally not too terrifying. Digging out such a fierce ghost is useless; it's not enough to withstand a single sword strike from me. It seems we still need to go deeper."

"After all, that's how the settings in anime and games are: the deeper you go, the higher the level of danger, and the stronger the supernatural phenomena that exist will be!"

Thinking.

Ye Zhen continued to thrust his sword deeper into the depths.

I don't know how long I walked like this.

The scene before him changed once again.

The seemingly endless graveyard in front of him suddenly stopped, leaving an empty space with a small hill in it.

Even more bizarrely, there was a small wooden house sitting on that hill.

The wooden house looked very old, as if it had been neglected for many years, giving people a feeling that it was about to collapse. Moreover, the overall construction was very rough, and it felt like it was drafty from all sides, as if the wooden house would fall apart if kicked a few times.

"There are wooden houses in a place like this?" Ye Zhen's expression showed slight surprise.

Who would live in such a godforsaken place?
Or is it that the wooden house wasn't meant for living people at all?
After standing there for a moment to think.

Ye Zhen suddenly changed direction and headed straight for the wooden house on the hill, wanting to investigate.

Because a building suddenly appeared in this godforsaken place.

This seemed too incongruous to Ye Zhen.

After all, a place like this, which is considered haunted, doesn't seem like a place where other living people could live. So, the wooden house is obviously not for living people to live in; it's most likely for ghosts.

That's exactly what he's aiming for!
If there is a vengeful ghost in that wooden house, then the vengeful ghost inside is obviously more special than the vengeful ghosts buried under those graves, and Ye Zhen can really use it to practice.

Moreover, if the ghost's abilities are powerful enough, he could even capture it and use it to create new supernatural weapons!
That's exactly what I was thinking.

That's why Ye Zhen decided to go and explore that old wooden house.

soon.

Ye Zhen followed the muddy path up the hill and arrived at the door of the wooden house located in the center of the endless graveyard.

Through the crack in the wooden cabin door, you could see that it was pitch black inside. The darkness was so pure that it seemed as if all light would be swallowed up.

Although the supernatural world is inherently dark, it is not so dark that one cannot see anything at all. The wooden house in front of Ye Zhen is drafty on all sides, so the environment inside should not be this dark, but that is the actual situation.

This sight brightened Ye Zhen's eyes.

"As expected, there is something supernatural in the wooden house. As expected of me, Ye, I found this extremely strange place in the graveyard with ease."

Thinking.

Ye Zhen kicked the wooden door in front of him directly.

Yes.

Instead of trying to push the door open, he kicked it hard.

Just listen to a 'bang' sound.

The wooden door of the old wooden house in front of Ye Zhen was kicked open, and the force of the kick made the whole house shake a few times, as if it would collapse and fall apart at any moment.

However, the wooden house eventually stabilized and did not actually fall apart, and the interior of the wooden house came into Ye Zhen's view.

To his surprise.

After the wooden door was kicked open, the interior became clear immediately. It seemed as if the inky darkness had receded like a tide as the door was kicked open.

This is clearly unreasonable.

Because the environment of this haunted place is inherently dark and does not bring much light when the wooden door is opened, the darkness before was clearly not a normal environment.

"Interesting. Don't think that just because I, Ye, have vanished, you're beyond my control. Guessing games are my specialty!"

Seeing this, Ye Zhen's expression remained unchanged, his words were full of confidence, and then he drew his sword and walked into the wooden house with the door wide open. There was no fear on his face, as if he was not worried at all about any unknown dangers inside the wooden house.

The interior of the log cabin is not spacious, only about 30 square meters, and there is only one room. There is no distinction between the living room and the bedroom; the living room is right inside the entrance, and the bedroom is inside the living room.

In the middle of the wooden house was a wooden table and several wooden stools, which seemed to have been there for a long time. The mahogany paint on them had peeled off and become mottled, but they were not rotten.

On one side of the wooden table was an old armchair, entirely black and in perfect condition, without a speck of dust, as if someone had just sat on it not long ago.

In addition, there is a wooden single bed on the left side of the cabin.

Like the wooden table and stools next to it, the wooden bed was also painted a dark red, but in many places the paint had peeled off, revealing the original color of the wood underneath, and it was covered in dust, obviously no one had slept in it for a long time.

Except these.

At the innermost part of the wooden house, there is a dark red altar. It is the most intact item in the house besides the black armchair. Not only is there no damage, but even the paint is still intact.

On the altar is an incense burner with a stick of incense stick that has burned more than halfway, leaving only a small section, but has already gone out.

Strangely, the incense was black.

However, the incense ash inside the incense burner was perfectly normal, looking no different from the ash left after ordinary incense had burned, and there was nothing unusual about it despite the fact that the incense itself was black.

After looking it over for a while.

Ye Zhen focused his attention on the black armchair and the dark red altar at the back of the wooden house.

As it stands, the two items in this wooden house are the most bizarre. Not only are they the most intact, but they are also the only two items that are free of dust, which is clearly abnormal.

next moment.

Ye Zhen entered a deep ghost realm.

He knew that some supernatural phenomena were invisible to the naked eye, but the deeper levels of the ghost realm could easily reveal the forms of those ghostly things.

as predicted.

After he used his ghost domain ability, everything in front of Ye Zhen began to change. The originally square wooden house began to deform and gradually changed into a shape that could not be described.

It looked just like a wooden tomb, and the person standing in the wooden house was as if he were already standing in this wooden tomb.

Furthermore, the surrounding light quickly dimmed, and the inky darkness that Ye Zhen had previously seen through the crack in the door reappeared.

The source of the darkness was that grand chair.

I don’t know when.

A gaunt figure lay on the black armchair, and the armchair began to rock back and forth.

The figure was very blurry, as if it did not actually exist, but was formed by a black shadow. It was difficult to see clearly, and one could only make out that it looked like an old man, exuding a cold aura.

"Got you!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Zhen's eyes lit up, and the Ghost Domain transformed into a dazzling light, dispelling the surrounding darkness that surged in like a tide.

He then took a step forward, raised his strange longsword, and prepared to slash at the figure on the black armchair.

"Clang!"

at the same time.

The black armchair, which had been shaking incessantly, suddenly stopped.

The old man who had been lying on the armchair stood up and walked towards where Ye Zhen was.

As the eerie old man with a slightly illusory and blurry figure approached, the light transformed from Ye Zhen's Ghost Domain was extinguished in an instant, like a candle blown out by a gust of wind. The surroundings were immediately plunged into darkness, and even the air seemed to freeze.

A chilling aura swept over us, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression.

"What a joke, I, Ye, have been shrouded in darkness once again?"

Ye Zhen found it somewhat unbelievable.

The blurry figure of the old man in front of him gave him the same pressure as when facing the terrifying ghost controlled by Wang Chaling.

His ghost realm was shattered by mere supernatural interference.

Although his ghost domain wasn't powerful, it was definitely not weak either. However, when facing this vengeful ghost, his ghost domain seemed to become a joke, as it was invaded and disrupted in an instant.

Moreover, the world he perceives is changing rapidly.

An unknown supernatural curse is spreading.

Ye Zhen felt that only this inky darkness remained in the world, and this darkness was undergoing unknown changes. There was a faint smell of earth, and this darkness seemed to be turning into the soil of the graves outside. The blurry ghost seemed to be planning to bury him alive.

"Behold, I, Ye, will cleave through the darkness with my sword!"

Ye Zhen didn't hesitate any longer.

He shouted loudly.

He swung the twisted, bizarre longsword in his hand toward the darkness before him, toward the spot where the eerie old man from his memory had stood.

At the same time, Ye Zhen was fighting against the supernatural forces of the strange old man.

On the other side, Li Hui also arrived at an extremely strange location.

This is the depths of an endless graveyard.

This is also the true core area of ​​this haunted place. You could even say that this area is no longer an ordinary graveyard, but is located in a deeper ghost realm.

There are not many graves here, in fact, there are very few; only a few old graves are scattered here.

However, this decrease is not the same as the gradual reduction of graves on the edge of the cemetery; rather, it means that there is not enough space here to support the existence of too many graves.

Because any supernatural entity buried here is definitely not simple.

Each burial mound was much larger than the other mounds in the Endless Graveyard, looking like small hills, but they were real burial mounds.

The fact that Luo Qian could suppress and bury such a supernatural entity with so much grave soil shows just how terrifying the vengeful ghosts buried inside must be.

Especially the grave located at the very innermost part.

The grave was larger than the other graves in the area, and there was a tombstone in front of it with the words "Tomb of Luo Qian" written on it.

In addition, there is a portrait printed on the tombstone, which is of an old man.

"As expected, Luo Qian left a contingency plan in the Endless Graveyard. Is this tomb used to suppress the stability of the graveyard?"

"Is it the real body of Luo Qian buried inside, or is it just a part of his spirit buried there?"

Li Hui remembered that it was described in the original work.

The seven elders of the Republic of China all left a burial site behind the old house where Zhang Dong lived, but most of them were cenotaphs.

After all, out of seven people.

Li Qingzhi was in the haunted hotel, Luo Wensong became the door-knocking ghost, Meng Xiaodong was in Dachuan City, Zhang Youhong lived a second life and even a third life, Zhang Dong crawled out after being buried to guard the old house, and Zhang Bohua was eventually buried.

As for Luo Qian, whether it's a cenotaph or he was actually buried there is not described in the original work, but Li Hui thinks he was probably really buried there.

"But if Luo Qian's body is really buried near the Zhangdong Ancient House, then this grave is where his spirit is buried?"

Li Hui's eyes flickered slightly, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.

As for whether it is or not.

He'll find out when he digs up the grave in front of him.

After all, his real goal for this trip was the graves left by Luo Qian, the owner of the cemetery.

Whether it's the real body of Luo Qian buried inside, or a supernatural entity of Luo Qian, as long as it's confirmed that there's a backup plan left by Luo Qian here, then he's already made a profit.

to this end.

He even gave up on finding the coffin nail that had been lost in the graveyard.

Li Hui quickly took action.

However, he did not intend to dig the grave himself, but planned to ask others for help.

With a wave of his hand, a huge portrait appeared out of thin air, depicting Yang Xiao and the other deceased souls.

next moment.

The people in the painting all came to life, stepping out of the portrait and appearing in this dark and eerie place.
