Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 236 Room 301

"This is it."

"The last time I investigated the source of the haunted area, I entered this room and encountered unimaginable dangers inside, which ultimately forced me to forget all the memories of what happened after I entered this room that day."

The third floor of Building 3 in Mingyue Residential Area.

Li Leping pointed to a room with its door tightly closed and spoke to Li Hui.

The extremely dark environment did not affect their vision at all; they could clearly see everything in the corridor.

The walls in the corridor were pitch black, as if they had been smoked, and there were even traces of black ash on them.

Clearly, this was all caused by Li Leping.

Just as he said.

He had been here before. The eerie smoke had affected the buildings throughout the community. Both the outer walls of the community and the walls in the stairwells showed signs of being blackened by the eerie smoke.

This shows that Li Leping's Ghost Domain strength is actually not low.

The ghost realm has been gone for so long, yet the supernatural traces it left behind are still there. This means that even if Li Leping's ghost realm cannot completely affect reality, it is probably not far off.

"Captain Li, although I have great confidence in your abilities, I still have to remind you that the danger inside this room is far beyond your imagination. Are you sure you want to go in?"

Li Leping's voice rang out, echoing in the silent corridor.

While speaking.

Li Leping's gaze fell upon a door in front of him.

The door was also blackened by smoke, and even the number plate on it was no longer legible, but Li Leping still recognized at a glance that the room behind the door was their destination, which was the room 301 they had mentioned.

do not know why.

As Li Leping gazed at the room before him, a strange feeling suddenly welled up within him, as if his body's instincts were urging him to leave and not enter this room 301.

This is a kind of instinctive reaction.

It was as if he had encountered something terrifying in the room behind this door. Even though he had forgotten the corresponding memory using the power of the Forgotten Ghost, a kind of instinctive reaction remained.

It is precisely because of this.

That's why Li Leping reminded Li Hui again.

"Are you scared?" Li Hui looked at Li Leping beside him with some surprise. Although he did not know what Li Leping was feeling, he could clearly feel the change in the other party's emotions.

"I'm not afraid."

Li Leping said, "For me, even if I were attacked again upon entering, even if I couldn't resist, I could choose to forget the memories of entering this room, just like before. But it's different for you, Captain Li. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be very serious!"

This is not an exaggeration.

Rather, it was for the safety of the city.

After all, given the strength Li Hui has shown so far, the vengeful spirit he controls is absolutely terrifying. If Li Hui dies and the vengeful spirit within him revives, Li Leping has no confidence in dealing with it. At that time, the entire Da* City might fall.

"Don't worry, since I've chosen to come here, I know what I'm doing. The supernatural things inside are scary, but I'm absolutely confident I can handle them and things won't get out of control."

Li Hui offered an explanation, then immediately took action, kicking the door with his foot.

Then there was a loud "bang".

Li Hui kicked open the door to room 301, the loud thud echoing throughout the building, causing the blackened dust overhead to fall in a flurry.

Such a violent and reckless act made Li Leping's eyelids twitch and his heart leap into his throat.

As soon as the door opened, a long-dormant chill rushed out, and a dim, yellowish light shone from inside room 301, illuminating the outside.

"There are lights in this room?"

Li Leping's expression froze.

Because of the paranormal incident in the haunted area, the entire Mingyue community has had its water and electricity supply cut off. After all, this is just an old urban area that is being demolished, and all the residents have already moved away.

"And the lighting is obviously off; it seems to have some kind of eerie atmosphere. It looks like this is a completely haunted house. I wonder what I experienced when I went in there that time..."

While pondering these thoughts, Li Leping also carefully examined all the facilities in the room.

The interior furnishings were very old, giving it a sense of being out of touch with modern times. Most of the furniture was made of wood, painted with red paint, and was peeling and mottled.

Also.

The walls and floors of room 301 are covered with old-fashioned floral tiles, giving it a style reminiscent of the Republic of China era. There are also many posters on the walls, with the four corners of the posters held up by thumbtacks, which is definitely in the style of the 1980s.

"Let's go in and take a look." Li Hui said to Li Leping.

After saying that, he strode directly into the now-open 301 room. This action was quite bold, but it also revealed his absolute confidence in his own abilities.

Then, under Li Leping's watchful gaze, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Under the dim, yellow light, Li Hui's figure became somewhat blurry, and finally disappeared from Li Leping's sight.

"An unknown ghost realm? It looks like an old room, but it can actually be considered two different worlds?"

Li Leping thought to himself.

He then stepped into room 301, the dim, yellowish light enveloping his figure and swallowing his entire form.

From the outside, Room 301 looked exactly the same as before, without any changes. Li Hui and Li Leping seemed to have vanished into thin air after entering the room, and their figures were nowhere to be seen inside the old building.

Even after a few moments, the door slammed shut again, and everything returned to a deathly silence.

at the same time.

Inside the room.

After Li Hui and Li Leping stepped into the room, they entered the living room of room 301. The room's decoration style was old, but the whole room was surprisingly clean.

Everything, from the ceiling above to the walls, floors, and even the old wooden table in the living room, was spotless and looked very clean.

But it's obvious that this cleanliness is very abnormal. Even if someone is taking care of it, it's impossible for it to be this clean. It looks like it's been maintained at a certain moment all along.

"There seems to be something in that shopping basket?"

At this moment, Li Leping, who was standing to the side, suddenly noticed an old rattan vegetable basket placed in the corner of the wooden table.

This style of vegetable basket used to be common in rural areas, but the one in front of them was very well preserved. The handle of the basket was smooth and shiny, as if it had been patinaed by long-term use.

At this moment, the vegetable basket was covered with a light blue floral cloth, and it seemed that something was placed inside.

Driven by curiosity, he immediately...

Li Leping reached out and lifted a small corner of the floral cloth, revealing what was covered underneath.

Inside the basket was a baby-shaped doll. Through a corner that was lifted, Li Leping could clearly see most of the doll's features.

It was a naked doll lying in a vegetable basket, its eyes closed, as if it were sleeping.

Strangely, the baby doll's body was covered in bruises, as if it had been abused and beaten. In addition, the baby doll exuded a very eerie feeling, as if it might open its eyes and wake up at any moment.

"A supernatural item?"

Li Leping immediately formed a judgment and a guess in his mind.

He then withdrew his hand again, letting the floral cloth cover the entire vegetable basket once more.

It wasn't that Li Leping wasn't interested in this supernatural item; rather, he had his own reasons for considering it.

The fact that I didn't take the vegetable basket and the doll baby inside with me when I entered Room 301 last time must have been for a reason. Most likely, the disadvantages of carrying this thing outweigh the benefits that this supernatural item can bring!

When the risks and rewards are likely disproportionate, everyone will make a wise and beneficial choice.

"Clap!"

To Li Leping's surprise, just as he withdrew his hand, Li Hui suddenly reached out and grabbed the baby doll in the vegetable basket.

Then a shrill scream came from the doll's mouth, but it was quickly stopped as the supernatural power of the ghost directly suppressed the baby-shaped doll.

"This thing is a vengeful ghost, and it's quite terrifying. I need to deal with it first, so it won't cause trouble when I'm doing my business."

At this moment, Li Hui spoke up.

Then, a hazy ghostly light flashed, and the doll-like infant in his hand vanished instantly, disappearing into the ghostly realm.

After doing all this.

Li Hui focused his gaze directly on the doors of the two innermost bedrooms in room 301, or more precisely, on the left bedroom. He merely glanced at the door of the right bedroom.

Li Hui, who had read the original work, knew very well.

The bedroom on the left in room 301 is where Meng Xiaodong's body is located, which is also his main target for this trip.

Tatata!
Immediately.

Li Hui walked towards the bedroom door and pushed it open when he arrived.

The moment the door was pushed open, a faint fragrance wafted out of the bedroom, but mixed in with it was a nauseating stench of decay.

for these.

Li Hui didn't care.

He glanced around the bedroom a few times before walking straight in.

The room was dimly lit, not because there were no lights in the bedroom, but because the lights were blocked by some decorative red ribbons.

Beneath the hanging red cloth strip, an old red lacquered wooden bed was placed at the far end of the bedroom against the wall.

This red lacquered wooden bed is not the modern style, but a three-sided canopy bed with a canopy above it.

At that moment, a figure was lying on the wooden bed, but because it was covered by the bed curtains, the person's appearance could not be seen clearly.

But one thing is certain.

The person lying on that red lacquered wooden bed was not a living person, but a corpse. The stench that Li Hui smelled was coming from the corpse on the wooden bed.

"You seem very familiar with everything here. Have you been here before? Also, was that corpse the owner of room 301, the old woman named Meng Xiaodong?"

Li Leping then followed him in, his gaze sweeping around the bedroom before settling on the corpse on the wooden bed. He then asked Li Hui, who was standing nearby, a question.

indeed.

Li Hui gave him the feeling that he was very familiar with everything in room 301, which was filled with unknown dangers, so familiar that Li Leping seriously suspected that Li Hui had been here more than once.

"This is indeed my first time here, but I am also very familiar with this place. Sometimes, you don't necessarily need to have been to a place before to be familiar with it."

Li Hui responded to Li Leping with a single sentence, then continued walking towards the location of the red lacquered wooden bed.

However, this time Li Leping did not follow Li Hui forward, but stood quietly and watched the scene unfold.

His intuition told him that the corpse lying on the wooden bed was extremely dangerous!
He also got the answer he wanted from Li Hui, confirming that the corpse was indeed the old woman named Meng Xiaodong.

"So, the last time I entered room 301, I also came to this bedroom? And then I was attacked by Meng Xiaodong, a vengeful ghost who had returned from the dead, and was ultimately forced to forget the memories of that day?"

Li Leping secretly speculated in his heart.

If that's really what he thinks.

So the first person targeted by the vengeful ghost will be Li Hui. Li Leping also wants to know whether the vengeful ghost that Meng Xiaodong turned into after his death is stronger or weaker than Li Hui.

Tatata!
Under Li Leping's watchful eye, Li Hui walked steadily toward the wooden bed, his footsteps echoing dully across the old-fashioned floor.

Obviously.

Li Hui did not intend to trigger the ghost knife supernatural medium to allow Meng Xiaodong to invade reality through the medium, just like Yang Jian in the original plot. Instead, he planned to go straight for Meng Xiaodong's real body.

After all, the former was merely a supernatural product of Meng Xiaodong's 'infinite invasion' ability, while the latter possessed all of Meng Xiaodong's supernatural abilities.

Since we're planning to reissue it.

Li Hui naturally hoped to replicate the supernatural abilities of the latter.

While walking.

A strange, scarlet light suddenly appeared on the back of Li Hui's hand.

At first, the red light was very weak, but in just a moment, the eerie red light began to brighten rapidly, then surged outwards along the back of Li Hui's hand, even illuminating the extremely dark environment in the bedroom.
