Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 231 Replicating the Supernatural Again
"what is this?"

Even though the supernatural was silent and he was suppressed, the old man's consciousness remained very clear. He did not fall into silence along with the supernatural. Instead, he was able to clearly perceive everything happening around him.

As a dazzling crimson light enveloped his entire body, a look of surprise appeared on the face of the strange old man.

He didn't understand what Li Hui was doing.

The old man couldn't understand why the ghosts, along with the tombstone beneath him, had been suppressed. Instead of imprisoning him, the ghosts took this unknown action.

Surely this isn't the new form of detention in this day and age?

But no matter how puzzled and confused the strange old man was, no one would give him an answer.

Li Hui's gaze remained indifferent, showing no regard for the old man. Under the eerie red light, the act of replicating supernatural abilities was quietly underway.

Time just passed by minute by minute.

Li Hui was always mindful of the passage of time.

After the crimson light emanating from the phone tattoo enveloped the eerie old man he was suppressing in his hand and the old, broken tombstone beneath him for about twenty seconds, it gradually faded and returned to the phone tattoo on the back of his hand.

At the same time, a new pattern appeared on the screen of the phone tattoo on the back of Li Hui's hand as the red light faded.

The image was of a strange old man with an aged face and a cold, sinister aura, exactly the same as the old man Li Hui was holding by the neck, only shrunk to the size of an image.

The old man in the picture doesn't have legs. To be precise, his legs and a broken tombstone have grown together and can't be separated; they have become a single entity.

"A twenty-second replica, with ten times the supernatural intensity—this eerie old man's supernatural intensity is exactly the same as the mummified bride's?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Hui's face.

The moment the pattern was formed, a piece of information related to it appeared in his mind, seamlessly, as if that information had always belonged to his memory.

This memory contains information about the intensity of the supernatural power replicated by the phone tattoo, as well as how to use this supernatural power.

This was an experience that occurred every time a supernatural event was replicated, so Li Hui was already used to it. What truly surprised him was the intensity of the supernatural force, which was no weaker than that of the Mummified Bride.

"As expected, this old man is unexpectedly dangerous. His supernatural abilities have reached a certain level. Any captain from headquarters might be caught off guard and controlled by him. Even Wei Jing at this stage would probably be somewhat overwhelmed!"

After a brief moment of thought, Li Hui made the following assessment of the strange old man's supernatural abilities.

"But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange. After all, the purpose of this strange old man and the tombstone under him is obviously to suppress the wooden staircase inside that old wooden house."

“Every step of that staircase is haunted by supernatural forces. If the old man and the tombstone weren’t powerful enough to suppress them…”

Think about it this way.

Li Hui felt somewhat relieved.

The surprise I had felt vanished completely.

However, a new question soon entered his mind.

If the ghost used to suppress the stairs of the wooden house is so powerful, then just how terrifying is the ghost power of the owner of that wooden house, or rather, the entire wooden house?
I'm afraid it must be at least at the top level of the Republic of China era, right?

He might even be no less capable than some of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

"Could this be yet another person trying to end the era of the supernatural? But ultimately failed, and then built this eerie old wooden house in this haunted place?"

It's no wonder that Li Hui had such a guess.

Those who are top-tier ghost controllers, especially those who have built supernatural structures in supernatural places and left behind contingency plans, are all very knowledgeable about the supernatural. It is estimated that many of them have tried to explore the source of the supernatural or to end the supernatural era.

This includes the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, who are typical examples. Each of them has their own arrangements, such as the Zhangdong Ancient House, the Endless Cemetery, the Ghost Post Office, and the Ghost Hotel, all of which are their own choices and arrangements.

In addition, there is the owner of that Yin-Yang Road.

without any exaggeration.

That person must have been a top-tier ghost tamer in life!
He was able to open the path between Yin and Yang and block the invasion of the supernatural world into the real world. One can imagine how terrifying his strength is. He is almost comparable to Zhang Dong. Even if he is slightly inferior, he is probably only half a step behind. He is even stronger than the graveyard owner Luo Qian and others!
While thinking.

Li Hui glanced at the eerie old man whose neck he had grabbed and lifted up, whose supernatural abilities had been suppressed and subsided.

Then, the light of the ghost realm flashed, and the eerie old man, along with the old and broken tombstone beneath him, disappeared from the spot, imprisoned by Li Hui in his own ghost realm.

After doing all this.

Li Hui's gaze fell once again on the old wooden house in front of him.

He was deep in thought at that moment.

Could I use the eerie red light from my phone tattoo, which replicates other supernatural abilities, to envelop the entire wooden house and replicate all the supernatural phenomena of that old wooden house at once?
After all, that old wooden house could be considered a single, supernatural structure, so he should be able to do it.

"Let's give it a try anyway."

Li Hui's gaze shifted slightly.

"If possible, it would save me a lot of time and energy. Even if it doesn't work, I can just go back into the second floor of the cabin and recreate the supernatural phenomena in that room without any loss."

immediately.

Li Hui then took action.

The eerie red light that had just faded reappeared from the cell phone tattoo on the back of his hand, and then spread toward the old wooden house not far from him.

The eerie crimson light spread rapidly, enveloping the entire wooden house in the blink of an eye under Li Hui's control.

"It really works?"

Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on Li Hui's face. He hadn't expected that his mere trial attempt would actually be able to replicate the eerie atmosphere of the old wooden house.

The replication of the supernatural is proceeding silently at this moment.

The moment the eerie crimson light emanating from the phone tattoo covered the old wooden house, Li Hui clearly sensed that the phone tattoo was replicating the eerie atmosphere of the wooden house, indicating that his test had been successful.

"If that's the case, then wouldn't the Ghost Post Office in Dahan City also be able to be replicated by mobile phone tattoos?"

"After all, the Ghost Post Office and this old wooden house are essentially the same thing; they are both haunted buildings!"

However, despite thinking this, Li Hui did not actually intend to replicate the supernatural ghost post office in Dahan City.

Because it is not necessary.

He came to Baishui Town because the supernatural phenomena here were practically the pinnacle of consciousness-based supernatural phenomena. So after replicating Guimeng's supernatural abilities, he became interested in the supernatural phenomena here again.

As for the supernatural aspects of the Ghost Post Office, they won't be of much help to him overall.

After all, he had no intention of training messengers. As for the supernatural phenomena of the other ghosts in the Ghost Post Office, they might enhance his overall strength, but the enhancement would be very limited.

……

that's it.

As Li Hui's thoughts raced, the eerie red light from the phone tattoo continued to replicate the supernatural atmosphere of the old wooden house.

During this time, Li Hui was silently counting in his mind, calculating the time it would take to replicate the supernatural phenomenon.

"If my guess is correct, the ghosts in the old wooden house should be similar to the ghosts in the endless graveyard."

"Previously, it took 17 seconds to replicate 60% of the ghostly atmosphere of the graveyard. I don't know how long it will take to replicate the old wooden house this time, or how strong the ghostly atmosphere will be."

Under Li Hui's watchful eye.

Time passed little by little...

2秒、3秒……5秒、7秒、6秒、10秒……16、19……猩红色的诡异光芒一直持续了差不多将近二十秒左右的时间才开始逐渐消退回来，重新回到手机纹身的屏幕页面当中。

"Seventy percent?"

The approximately twenty-second replication time allowed the phone tattoo to successfully replicate 70% of the eerie intensity of the old wooden house.

This replication process is indeed similar to, or even stronger than, the supernatural power of the graveyard owner Luo Qian's grave soil, but the difference is very limited; the two are roughly equal.

next moment.

The pattern representing the supernatural power of the old wooden house appeared in the frame of the phone tattoo screen on the back of Li Hui's hand.

The overall design is a miniature version of a photograph of an old two-story wooden house, only slightly more surreal compared to a real one.

In addition, the old wooden house in the picture is very strange. It does not look like it is made of wood. Instead, it looks like a building made of countless eerie and cold corpses.

Especially the second floor of the old wooden house.

Through the slightly illusory patterns, one can see the figures of many vengeful ghosts on the second floor of the old wooden house, especially in the room located on the second floor.

Through that door, one could vaguely see the environment inside the room. It was pitch black inside, but a strange figure was hidden in that inky darkness.

at the same time.

The screen page for mobile phone tattoos.

After the pattern in the shape of a wooden house was formed, just like the previously replicated tomb spirit, it was not instantly devoured by the ghost messenger's pattern like other supernatural forces. Instead, it was locked in a stalemate, resisting the ghost messenger's supernatural devouring.

However, strangely enough...

The old wooden house that Li Hui replicated had 70% of the supernatural power, and it was definitely no worse than the supernatural power of the grave mound, or even stronger. However, its supernatural power was clearly not as strong as that of the grave mound in resisting the devouring of ghost messengers.

It's important to understand that the ghosts in the grave are 60% more powerful than those in the old wooden house, but ultimately the ghosts in the old wooden house are devoured by the ghost messengers much faster than the ghosts in the grave.

This doesn't mean that the old wooden house is less haunted than the grave, but rather it indirectly confirms Li Hui's previous guess.

The spirit of grave soil can suppress the spirits of ghost messengers!

But it’s no wonder.

After all, the ghost messenger represents the coffin, while the spirit of the grave represents the tomb. The coffin is naturally trapped by the tomb, which is a kind of supernatural restraint relationship, just like how will-o'-the-wisps can naturally restrain the spirit of ghost paintings.

"Alright, we've successfully replicated the eerie old man and the ghostly anomalies of the old wooden house. The purpose of this trip has been perfectly accomplished, and there's no point in staying any longer. There's no need to replicate the other ghostly anomalies in this haunted place."

At this point, Li Hui had the idea of ​​leaving.

He came to Baishui Town, or more precisely, to this haunted place, because of the supernatural phenomena in the wooden house. Now that he has succeeded, Li Hui naturally has no intention of staying any longer.

Immediately.

Li Hui then took action.

He followed the road filled with ghosts, then returned to the eerie street, finally breaking the boundary between the supernatural world and the real world, and returning to the lush green town of Whitewater in the real world.

The air quality in Baishui Town is excellent. It is built against the mountains and beside the water, making it a picturesque town. The water here is especially clear, which is why the town is called Baishui Town.

However, faced with the fresh air and beautiful scenery, Li Hui had no intention of appreciating it at all, and didn't even linger. He left the moment he returned to the real world.

The ghostly realm spread to an astonishingly large extent.

In the blink of an eye, he left Baishui Town—no, not just Baishui Town, but instantly left the territory of Dashan City…

.........

at the same time.

the other side.

It's unclear when exactly, but water flow problems have begun to appear in many cities across China.

In some cities, extremely strange paranormal phenomena have appeared in the waterways, while in other cities, the rivers are even more terrifying, with vengeful ghosts emerging from them and even coming ashore, creating a series of paranormal events.

Ultimately, all of these matters were reported to headquarters by the local city officials.

If it were just a single city or a single paranormal event, it might not have attracted much attention from headquarters. However, when many cities have experienced very similar problems, the Ghost Riders headquarters cannot afford to ignore it.

The headquarters quickly established a special task force.

It specifically investigates paranormal phenomena related to domestic watercourses, including rivers, lakes, pools, ditches, and even the Yangtze River and the sea.

It would have been better if they hadn't investigated; once they did, they immediately discovered an extremely frightening fact.

Because behind these paranormal events related to water flow lies a terrifying paranormal event whose danger level is defined as 'unknown'!
The Ghost Lake incident!

The reason it is defined as 'unknown' is that even the Ghost Tamer headquarters dares not investigate it in depth, which shows how terrifying this Ghost Lake incident is.
