Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 238 Successful Reproduction
The terror of Ghost Lake far exceeded Wei Jing's expectations. The entire Ghost Lake was filled with a cold and eerie supernatural aura, which suppressed Wei Jing at all times.

This suppression rendered all of Wei Jing's struggles futile, leaving him only able to watch helplessly as he sank deeper and deeper into the water.

Cold, deathly silent, and unable to move—this was Wei Jing's most genuine feeling.

His body felt as if it were bound by something, no longer his own. He could only drift in the lake like a corpse.

But he remained conscious and could even see everything in the lake, yet he could only watch helplessly.

Soon Wei Jing sank into an extremely strange area.

The area was filled with countless corpses, both male and female, of all shapes and sizes. They neither rose nor sank further; they simply remained there.

All the corpses were pale and bloodless from being submerged, but their eyes were open, staring eerily at Wei Jing, who had just sunk.

The scene was extremely terrifying. If an ordinary person saw this, they would probably be scared to death. But for Wei Jing, a top-notch ghost-controlling genius, no matter how bizarre or terrifying the scene was, it was not enough to frighten him.

"These bodies should all be victims of the Ghost Lake incident."

Wei Jing thought to himself.

He had read the files on the Ghost Lake incident and knew that many people had mysteriously disappeared in every city that had been haunted by the Ghost Lake.

Now it seems.

All those who went missing were dead, and their bodies sank into this real ghost lake. So no matter how the headquarters staff searched, they could not find these bodies, because this was no longer the real world, but some unknown supernatural place.

It's the real Ghost Lake, a truly haunted place!

"So, will I also float in this area of ​​the lake like them?"

However, the moment this thought crossed Wei Jing's mind, reality gave him the answer.

His descent showed no sign of stopping; he continued to sink deeper into the water, seemingly heading straight to the bottom of the lake.

After sinking a few more meters, the densely packed corpses around them disappeared, replaced by a blank area where no corpses were floating.

But as he continued to sink, after leaving the blank area, Wei Jing discovered new corpses.

However, there were very few corpses here, and some of the corpses were dressed in very old clothes, not like modern clothes, but like people from the 1970s or 1980s, or even earlier.

more importantly.

Among these corpses was one who could be considered Wei Jing's 'acquaintance'.

Cheng Hao!

Yes.

Cheng Hao, the person in charge of Zhongzhou City, was floating in this area at this moment.

But he was already dead, just a cold corpse with disheveled hair and pale skin. His empty eyes stared intently in the direction where Wei Jing was, as if questioning why Wei Jing hadn't saved him as agreed.

"It seems that the corpses floating in this area are either ghost tamers or less terrifying vengeful ghosts."

Wei Jing's gaze swept across the area and he found that the corpses in this area were clearly different from the densely packed corpses on the upper level. Each corpse appeared extremely cold and eerie, exuding a supernatural aura. Obviously, they were either ghost tamers who controlled vengeful spirits within their bodies or real vengeful spirits!
However, even in this eerie area, it was not the limit of Wei Jing's sinking. He continued to sink, heading deeper into the lake.

Soon Wei Jing left this area and sank into a deeper and more eerie region.

The environment here was completely dark, with no light able to reach the area. At the same time, the floating corpses around them became even more eerie and terrifying. The corpses were all intact, just as they had been when they died. Their bodies were not white or rotten from being soaked in water; they seemed to be just sleeping, with the possibility of waking up.

These corpses are clearly vengeful ghosts!

And the level of horror will definitely not be low!
Because at this moment, Wei Jing had already vaguely sensed something.

"The deeper they sink, the more terrifying their supernatural power becomes. Since these corpses didn't stay in the area above, but instead remained at this depth, it means that these vengeful ghosts are extremely terrifying according to the Ghost Lake's assessment!"

However, this also foreshadows the terrifying nature of Ghost Lake.

The lake was filled with so many corpses, including ghost tamers who commanded vengeful spirits and even real vengeful spirits, yet they were all suppressed by the Ghost Lake and unable to move. This proved that the Ghost Lake's terror surpassed the sum of all the suppressed supernatural beings.

This terrifying vengeful ghost was something Wei Jing had never seen before in his life. Even the vengeful ghost that created him, the terror emanating from that black ghost coffin, could probably not compare.

of course.

This is simply because there is a difference in the current level of supernatural power between the two.

In fact, in terms of sheer terror, the vengeful ghost that escaped from the coffin was the most terrifying ghost in Wei Jing's mind, because it could grow indefinitely. If given time, it might become unstoppable in the supernatural world.

Fortunately, Li Hui acted early enough to deal with the vengeful ghost before it fully developed, and Wei Jing was also rescued. This prevented a supernatural event that was almost unsolvable from completely spiraling out of control.

"If Li Hui had let that vengeful ghost go back then, now, after so much time, I'm afraid no one in the entire paranormal community would be able to defeat it. Even Ghost Lake wouldn't be able to resist it. But now, Ghost Lake is clearly much more terrifying."

Wei Jing thought to himself.

His descent was still ongoing.

This indicates that the Ghost Lake on the third level is not enough to completely trap Wei Jing, so it needs to sink to a deeper place.

Gradually, Wei Jing sank into the fourth level of Ghost Lake. This was the bottom of Ghost Lake, and the surrounding environment was pitch black, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

However, it's not that they are completely unable to see.

Wei Jing saw some rubble and silt around him, and a black coffin was placed not far away.

The coffin was large and lay quietly at the bottom of the lake. A corner of the coffin lid was lifted, and a few strange black hairs drifted out from the lifted corner, swaying in the water like seaweed.

There was nothing else around.

"Is that the true source of this ghost lake? A black coffin, very similar to the black ghost coffin at the headquarters." Wei Jing's gaze locked onto that location.

until now.

Wei Jing remained calm.

Although he was completely suppressed and unable to move, and still unable to break free, as an anomaly, he was no different from a real vengeful ghost.

He doesn't need to eat, drink, sleep, or breathe, so even if he sinks to the bottom of the lake, Wei Jing won't die. He just needs to float here and wait for rescue, but Wei Jing doesn't think it's a big deal.

As long as your life is not in danger, then the situation is not too bad.

Wei Jing believed that the Ghost Riders headquarters would not abandon his rescue.

Perhaps when headquarters learns of his disappearance, they will gather all the other captains together. With so many top-tier ghost tamers gathered, Wei Jing doesn't believe that none of them would have a way to deal with Ghost Lake.

Especially with Li Hui, who is known as the "Number One Ghost Tamer in China" and the "Strongest Captain in Headquarters," Wei Jing felt that if he took action, even if he couldn't deal with this ghost lake, it shouldn't be a big problem to find a way to pull him out of the lake.

After all, Li Hui treated even S-level paranormal events like ghost paintings and starving ghosts as nothing and solved them with ease. So it seems unlikely that a ghost lake could stump him.

Just quickly.

Wei Jing's thoughts changed.

I don’t know when.

Wei Jing felt a cold body suddenly press against his back. The wet hair touched his cheek, which was a little itchy and a little cold, but more importantly, it brought a strange fear.

At this moment, Wei Jing's body seemed to have become even stiffer. This wasn't due to tension, but rather a genuine stiffness.

He felt his body was very cold, and he was soaked from head to toe. This was not caused by soaking in the lake water, but rather from the inside out. At this moment, Wei Jing's body was constantly leaking water.

"Is this ghost trying to control me?" Wei Jing's expression suddenly changed drastically.

He realized that what was clinging to him was not an ordinary ghost, but the true source of the Ghost Lake. As an anomaly, he was no different from the ghost, so he had the potential to be controlled.

"What a joke! How could we possibly handle such a terrifying and vengeful ghost? Even Li Hui couldn't do it!"

At this moment, Wei Jing's calmness vanished, replaced by fear.

If he is not mistaken, all the supernatural beings immersed in this ghost lake have been invaded and controlled by the vengeful ghost that is the source of the lake, and it now possesses the combined abilities of all supernatural beings.

in other words.

Ghost Lake is no longer just a single vengeful ghost, but a combination of countless vengeful ghosts. This level of vengeful ghost is basically unsolvable and is simply beyond their ability to deal with.

If Wei Jing had previously thought that headquarters would send all its captains to rescue him or deal with Ghost Lake directly, now he desperately hoped that headquarters would abandon him or even abandon the plan to deal with Ghost Lake.

Because in Wei Jing's view at this time.

Even if all the captains at headquarters were to gather, it would be impossible to deal with Ghost Lake. In fact, it would only make Ghost Lake more terrifying, and eventually cause all the captains to perish here.

However, at this moment, Wei Jing was completely unable to influence the thoughts of others.

Even he himself is in danger.

The eerie suppression of Ghost Lake rendered Wei Jing utterly powerless to resist, and at this moment it was even constantly trying to invade and control him.

In this situation, Wei Jing was in a state of absolute crisis.

Correspondingly, the level of terror at Ghost Lake is constantly increasing.

This is a suppressive ability belonging to the ghost messengers.

It is gradually being learned by Ghost Lake...

.........

at the same time.

Room 301, Building 7, Mingyue Residential Area, Da* City.

Li Hui's attempt to replicate Meng Xiaodong's supernatural abilities had long since ended, and the eerie crimson light had already returned to the cell phone tattoo on the back of Li Hui's hand.

At the same time, an icon appeared on the phone tattoo screen.

The image depicts an old-fashioned red lacquered wooden bed, upon which lies the eerie figure of an old man.

This pattern is precisely the supernatural ability that Li Hui just replicated.

For a full 17 seconds, it replicated 60% of the supernatural intensity.

At first glance, it looks the same as the supernatural event of the graveyard owner Luo Qian, both lasting 17 seconds and both at 60% supernatural intensity, but in reality, there are still significant differences between the two.

Because Li Hui had previously only replicated the supernatural abilities of graveyard owner Luo Qian, which only included the supernatural elements of the grave soil, this time, when replicating Meng Xiaodong's supernatural abilities, he directly caused an eerie red light to cover her entire corpse, and even replicated the supernatural elements of the red lacquered wooden bed.

in other words.

This time, Li Hui not only replicated Meng Xiaodong's infinitely invading supernatural abilities, but also replicated other supernatural abilities within her body.

For example... the supernatural phenomenon of making substitute dolls.

There are other supernatural abilities as well.

This comparison naturally reveals that, despite both being among the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, Meng Xiaodong and Luo Qian still have some differences.

However, only Li Hui knew all this. Li Leping, who was on the other side of the bedroom, was completely unaware of it. He simply stood there, quietly watching everything happen.

He then said, "Captain Li, the vengeful ghost has appeared, but it hasn't targeted us immediately. This proves that we haven't yet deciphered its killing patterns and don't fit the target of its attack."

"This is undoubtedly a good sign. I wonder what you think, Captain Li? Are you planning to deal with this vengeful ghost here, or are you going to leave it alone?"

Li Leping spoke these words with a very questioning tone.

But it’s no wonder.

He could clearly sense just how terrifying that eerie old man, whose entire being was black and white and out of place with his surroundings, was, like an old black and white photograph embedded in the real world.

without any exaggeration.

Li Leping felt that he was no match for that vengeful ghost.

This is an instinctive reaction.

The vengeful spirit controlled by Li Leping is issuing frantic warnings, and the source of all this is related to that eerie old man in black and white.

"Since we're already inside, let's deal with this while we're at it!"

Li Hui said calmly, "If this vengeful ghost is left unchecked, it will cause great harm to Da* City. Although I am not a pushover, this matter is more or less related to me. In that case, it is better to deal with it directly."

When saying this.

Li Hui showed no emotional fluctuation on his face.

It was as if he had absolute confidence that he had never taken the old man-like ghost seriously from beginning to end.

But this is indeed the case.
