Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 216 The Grave Blocking the Way
"Was it that vengeful ghost that buried you?"

An endless graveyard in a haunted place.

An old wooden house on a hill.

Li Hui and Ye Zhen opened the half-open door of the wooden house and walked in. The first thing they noticed was a figure lying on the black armchair inside the house.

It is indeed consistent with what Ye Zhen said before.

The figure lying on the armchair appeared extremely thin and indistinct, as if it were not truly real, but rather formed from a black shadow. It was impossible to discern clearly; only the outline of an old man could be seen, and an aura of chilling coldness emanated from him.
"that's it!"

Ye Zhen, who followed Li Hui in, spoke with certainty, his face unfriendly as he looked at the figure lying on the black armchair. His eyes were cold, and there was barely suppressed anger flowing within them.

"Li Wudi, what do you think? Do you have any ideas about this vengeful ghost? If you're not planning to make a move now, then let me, Ye, avenge myself first!"

While talking.

Ye Zhen had already decided to make a move.

He suddenly took two steps forward, standing side by side with Li Hui, raising the twisted and strange longsword stained with grave soil in his hand, pointing it at the figure on the black armchair inside the room.

"Since you want revenge, then just do it. I won't fight you for it. It'll be a good opportunity to see what that vengeful ghost is capable of."

Li Hui seemed unconcerned, his gaze fixed on the vengeful ghost, without glancing at Ye Zhen beside him.

At this moment, Li Hui felt very strange.

The vengeful ghost in the wooden house was right in front of him, and his ghostly domain had already enveloped everything, but he did not sense the existence of this vengeful ghost.

In other words, this vengeful ghost seems to be visible to the naked eye but cannot be perceived by the ghost domain. However, according to Ye Zhen's previous statement, this vengeful ghost seems to require a powerful ghost domain to reveal its form, which seems contradictory.

But these are not the main points.

At this point, the vengeful ghost was almost certain that the ghost lying on the black armchair in the wooden house was another arrangement by Luo Qian, the graveyard owner.

Even if it wasn't another supernatural puzzle piece that Luo Qian dissected, it was still closely related to him.

Therefore.

He was very curious about the ghost's abilities.

Now that Ye Zhen is offering his services for free and is even eager to test the supernatural abilities of this vengeful ghost on the spot, how could Li Hui possibly refuse?
Tatata!
Suddenly.

Ye Zhen strode toward the location of the vengeful ghost. Every time his shoes touched the wooden floor, a "creak" sound would echo inside the house.

I can tell.

Ye Zhen was undoubtedly much more cautious this time. As he walked, he kept his eyes fixed on the vengeful ghost, watching its movements to guard against any potential danger.

Li Hui, who had been standing still, was also watching Ye Zhen and the vengeful ghost on the black armchair.

Bang!
Just as Ye Zhen was about to reach the middle of the old wooden house, the vengeful ghost lying on the armchair finally began to react.

The armchair, which had been swaying back and forth, suddenly stopped, and the vengeful ghost on it abruptly turned its head to look at Ye Zhen with icy eyes and a powerful sense of oppression.

Then the vengeful ghost got up and also headed towards Ye Zhen's location.

As he walked, the ghost's body began to change. Its blurry figure seemed to dissipate and spread like ink, affecting the surrounding environment. At the same time, a terrifying supernatural aura spread and enveloped Ye Zhen's body.

All of a sudden.

Something terrible happened.

Ye Zhen's flesh began to rot and fall off, turning into piles of earth on the ground. The terrifying supernatural attack tried to bury him again, just like the previous time he was buried alive.

"It really is a ghost in the grave soil, but the intensity of the ghost is not very high, far less than the ghost puzzle in Luo Qian's grave in the core area of ​​the graveyard!"

Upon seeing this, Li Hui's eyes flickered, recognizing the supernatural attack, and he made a judgment in his mind.

"However, even if it's not as powerful as the Luo Qian supernatural puzzle I faced before, it's still a graveyard supernatural phenomenon, especially since it's being used in this endless graveyard, giving it a geographical advantage. How will Ye Zhen deal with such an attack?"

At this moment, Li Hui turned his attention to Ye Zhen, wanting to see if his response would be buried again as before.

at the same time.

On the other side, Ye Zhen shouted, "You think you can bury me again with the same trick? You really underestimate me, Ye Zhen! You don't take me seriously at all! Watch me cut through the darkness with my sword!"

Ye Zhen's face was cold and stern. Although he was still shouting his cringeworthy slogans, his expression was extremely solemn. Without hesitation, he slashed the twisted and strange longsword in his hand at the darkness formed by the vengeful ghost in front of him.

At the same time, the supernatural workings of the substitute ghost.

Immediately, his injuries, which were constantly rotting and turning into grave soil, improved and even began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's amazing.

It's important to know that the supernatural power of grave soil is a type of supernatural ability with extremely strong suppression.

Although the vengeful spirit in front of him did not possess a high level of spiritual power, it was still enough to suppress most vengeful spirits in the world. However, Ye Zhen was able to withstand this suppression and forcefully use his ability to take the place of the dead, which clearly showed that he had made a new breakthrough in developing and controlling the ability to take the place of the dead.

same.

Ye Zhen's ability to take the fall should have allowed him to instantly eliminate all negative effects on his body, but he is now gradually recovering, which indirectly proves the terrifying nature of the grave soil.

However, one thing is an indisputable fact.

That means that the supernatural attack of this magnitude is no longer effective against Ye Zhen.

This was clearly a good thing for Ye Zhen, but it wasn't so friendly for Li Hui, the other person in the cabin.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional on Ye Zhen's part, Li Hui became Ye Zhen's scapegoat.

At this moment, all the supernatural attacks Ye Zhen had encountered were transferred to Li Hui.

"What an undeserved disaster," Li Hui thought to himself, his eyes flickering slightly.

However, he was not as disheveled as Ye Zhen had been. He didn't even use the supernatural ability to take his place. His body remained intact, and he did not suffer the same fate as Ye Zhen, whose flesh rotted and turned into soil to bury himself.

The supernatural power of the vengeful ghost in the wooden house was clearly not enough for Li Hui at this moment. This level of attack from the grave soil was instantly neutralized by the grave soil supernatural power he controlled and the supernatural power of the bus.

"Li Wudi, I'm sorry. The situation was urgent just now, and you were the only living person around. So the scapegoat's supernatural entity immediately targeted you as its scapegoat. I will be more careful in the future and that kind of situation will not happen again."

At this moment, Ye Zhen obviously realized the inappropriateness of his behavior and apologized, but his gaze did not shift to Li Hui. Instead, he kept staring at the darkness in front of him, and the long sword in his hand collided with the darkness formed by the evil spirit.

immediately.

A terrifying curse erupted.

The bizarre, twisted longsword was wreathed in the ghostly aura of a vengeful spirit, as if trying to tear apart the darkness before it.

The powerful supernatural force could even tear apart space itself. The darkness before us was distorted, and cracks appeared like a spider web, as if the darkness was about to be shattered into pieces by the longsword at any moment.

"This sword must not be touched; it will shatter upon contact!"

At this moment, Ye Zhen unleashed his second sword strike.

As the longsword sliced ​​through the air, it emitted a shrill scream, the howl of a vengeful ghost. It was fighting against the ghost in the wooden house, and the ghost residing within the sword was also affected.

"Clap!"

next moment.

Ye Zhen's longsword was blocked by a slightly blurry, withered hand.

That hand stood firmly in front of the longsword, even gripping the blade, enduring the supernatural attack from the vengeful spirit residing within it.

Under the supernatural attack that caused it to crack upon contact, the withered hand immediately became covered with cracks, but no blood flowed from the wounds. Instead, pieces of grave soil drifted down, as if the hand was made of grave soil.

"You wretched thing, this is probably all you can do. Last time, it was my carelessness that led to my being buried in the grave. This time, you are destined to be slain by my sword!"

Ye Zhen sneered.

With his other hand clenched into a fist, he punched the eerie old man who had transformed back into human form from darkness.

His punches came at very tricky angles, as if he had undergone special training, just like a professional boxer.

boom!
A powerful punch landed directly on the ghost, the supernatural force of which sent it staggering back several steps. Ye Zhen immediately followed up, using his other hand to bring the longsword even closer.

The powerful supernatural pressure caused the ghost's arms to bend, the cracks on its palms that had come into contact with the strange longsword to deepen, and more grave soil to fall down.

"Judging from this situation, Ye Zhen will most likely be able to avenge himself this time. The ghost's supernatural powers will not be able to do anything to him; on the contrary, he will suppress it." Li Hui thought to himself as he saw this scene.

Then he said to Ye Zhen, "Alright, I think that's enough. This vengeful ghost is no match for you. If we keep going, you'll definitely be the winner. But there's no need to waste any more time here. I'll give you a hand."

The words fell.

Without waiting for Ye Zhen's consent.

Li Hui immediately took action.

His palm stretched forward and then appeared eerily next to the ghost, before his hand landed directly on its shoulder.

"Clap!"

The hand, imbued with the spirit of a ghost and the supernatural power of a bus, instantly suppressed the vengeful spirit before it. Its own supernatural power subsided, and its already blurry figure became even more illusory, as if it were about to completely dissipate at any moment.

"Li Wudi, what's going on?"

Seeing this, Ye Zhen withdrew his fist and the twisted, strange longsword, looking at Li Hui with a slightly puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, Li Hui calmly said, "The outcome is obviously decided, so there's no need to waste any more time here. Do you have any ideas about this vengeful ghost? If so, you can take it back to the paranormal forum."

"In that case, I, Ye, will accept your offer without hesitation."

Ye Zhen said, "This ghost's supernatural abilities are quite unique. If we study it carefully, it might allow me to advance further. Even if it doesn't, we can still forge it into a supernatural weapon!"

talking.

Ye Zhen took out a gold container, which was a gold foil paper bag.

This was something he had prepared before the operation. Normally, he would have his subordinates transport gold containers, but this operation with Li Hui was clearly different from their usual handling of supernatural events. Obviously, the situation would be quite special, so Ye Zhen put several gold foil bags in his pocket before the operation.

"The matter of this haunted place can be considered settled, but the Fushou Garden in the real world may still require your attention. I won't get involved in this matter; I believe you are capable enough to handle Fushou Garden properly."

Li Hui said to Ye Zhen.

As he spoke.

He then began stuffing the body of the vengeful ghost, which he had already suppressed, into the gold foil bag in Ye Zhen's hand.

"Okay, let's go."

Soon the ghost's body was put into a gold foil bag.

Then Li Hui's ghostly aura enveloped him and Ye Zhen. The supernatural power of the bus broke through the boundary between the real world and the supernatural realm, preparing to bring Ye Zhen back to reality.

at the same time.

Fushou Garden in the real world.

At this time, the environment inside the Fushou Garden became even darker and more eerie, and the number of graves appearing out of nowhere increased.

This is precisely why the danger level in the cemetery has increased significantly, and there is clearly more than one vengeful ghost roaming within.

Of the messengers who came from the Ghost Post Office in Dahan City, only four remain. Apparently, another one had just died not long ago, and that person was a true ghost tamer. This caused the panic to spread even faster, and almost everyone's face was filled with vigilance and fear.

Even so, it still couldn't change Lin Shan's idea of ​​finding the vanished vengeful ghost, delivering the red letter in his hand, and thus completing the mission to leave this place.

"Lin Shan, the situation is getting worse and worse for us. Liu Qiao was just killed by a vengeful ghost. I estimate that it won't be long before the vengeful ghost inside him will revive and wander around this cemetery. At that time, there may be another vengeful ghost targeting us."

At this moment, Lucy, pale-faced, spoke to Lin Shan, her voice trembling slightly, clearly indicating that she was extremely frightened.

"So everyone must be more careful and cautious from now on, and try to avoid being targeted by the evil spirit. If someone is targeted, then the others must help fight against it!" Lin Shan turned to look at Lucy and said in a low voice.

If they hadn't panicked and failed to offer immediate assistance, Liu Qiao might not have died.

In this situation, the danger level increases with each death, because the likelihood of being targeted by a vengeful ghost increases—this is an indisputable fact.

"and many more……"

"Lin Shan, you, you look ahead!"

Just as Lin Shan turned to look at Lucy and the other remaining messengers and began to warn them, Lucy, who was closest to him, pointed with a look of terror to a spot in front of Lin Shan.

"what happened?"

Upon seeing this, Lin Shan's heart skipped a beat, his brows furrowed, and he turned his head back, looking ahead at himself.

Ahead of them, a grave stood, blocking the way and standing in their way.

A tombstone stands in front of the grave, with words and a portrait printed on it, but strangely, blood is seeping out of the tombstone at this moment.
