Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 248 The Corpse Emerges from the Water

The original author himself admitted that both of the Kings were capable of soloing Ghost Lake without taking any damage.

But right now, it seems that both of the Wang family's ghosts are being suppressed.

This situation surprised Li Hui.

After all, even if Ghost Lake obtained the suppression of the ghost messengers from Wei Jing, it was clearly not enough to completely suppress the two kings.

"Unless... something has happened at Ghost Lake that I am unaware of."

Li Hui's expression shifted slightly.

This guess came to mind.

This is not impossible.

After all, the current situation has already exceeded the description in the original plot. His unintentional actions have already brought about earth-shattering changes to the course of this world.

Wei Jing's case is one of them.

That being the case.

Therefore, it is not impossible for other unknown changes to occur.

"Even if other unforeseen events occur, given the terrifying nature of the two kings, they shouldn't be so easily suppressed. Furthermore, with their supernatural abilities balancing each other, Ghost Lake should already be 'full' by now."

Based on Li Hui's understanding of Ghost Lake.

There is a limit to the number of vengeful spirits it can suppress.

in other words.

The Ghost Lake has a limit on the number of vengeful spirits it can suppress. Once that limit is exceeded, the vengeful spirits in the Ghost Lake will lose their suppression and be able to leave the Ghost Lake.

This situation is like a water tank. If you keep adding things to it, the water in the tank will eventually overflow.

Furthermore, the so-called number is also linked to the level of terror of the vengeful ghost itself.

The less terrifying a ghost is, the more ghosts the Ghost Lake can submerge and suppress; conversely, the more terrifying a ghost is, the fewer ghosts the Ghost Lake can hold.

after all.

Throwing small pebbles into a water tank is completely different from throwing in large rocks.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Li Hui had imagined.

In order to limit the two terrifying ghosts standing beside Wang Chaling, as well as the supernatural abilities possessed by Li Leping, Lu Zhiwen, and others, Ghost Lake applied most of its supernatural powers to them.

This also caused many of the other vengeful spirits soaking in the lake to break free of their restraints, revive, and float to the surface of the lake, gradually escaping the suppression of the ghost lake.

This situation did not affect Li Hui at all, but it had a significant impact on others who entered Ghost Lake during this period.

For example, the people of Taiping Ancient Town.

A group of three, led by the necromancer He Liansheng, were sailing from afar into this ghost lake in a small black boat.

It was an old, lifeless black boat, so dilapidated that it was barely recognizable, yet it still sailed steadily on the lake, looking quite strange.

Besides, there are many other unreasonable aspects to this ship.

For example, there was a pile of snow in one corner of the ship, and a conspicuous pool of blood on another deck. And that's not all; all sorts of supernatural phenomena also existed in other parts of the ship.

Although no ghosts were seen wandering inside the ship, there was no doubt that this dilapidated ship was definitely a ghost ship, a complete and utter ghost ship!
If an ordinary person were to ride on such a ghost ship, even without any unusual occurrences, they would probably be filled with trepidation. However, these strange phenomena seemed to be nonexistent for He Liansheng and his two companions. They didn't even glance at them while on the ship, their eyes fixed entirely on the seemingly calm ghost lake.

"what?"

"what is that?"

suddenly.

Mr. Liu, one of the three, let out a soft exclamation, looked towards the distant lake, pointed to a small black dot in front of him, and asked the other two.

"It looks like something is floating on the surface of the water," He Liansheng said with a gloomy face after taking a look.

The reason why is so.

It was because he knew very well that the lake below was not an ordinary lake, but a ghost lake, where everything would sink and nothing could possibly float on the surface.

If it really exists.

That can only be some other supernatural phenomenon!
But this is also the most terrifying thing.

If even the Ghost Lake can't contain the ghosts, then how terrifying must they be?
The three of them immediately turned pale.

"In any case, since we're already here, let's go take a look. It just so happens that the place where that thing is located is also on this ship's route."

Mr. Liu said, "Moreover, the truth may not be what we think. It's not impossible that it's just an ordinary item floating on the water."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the woman beside him chimed in, "Alright, there's no need to say any more of this nonsense."

"We both know very well the terror and peculiarity of Ghost Lake. What ordinary object could possibly float on its surface?"

The woman continued, "You should know that this lake is just a manifestation of the supernatural, not real lake water. Besides, what ordinary object could possibly enter here?"

As soon as these words came out.

Mr. Liu did not speak again.

He was clearly well aware that what he had just said was somewhat self-deceptive; how could ordinary objects possibly float on the surface of the source of Ghost Lake?

"It seems things have gone a bit beyond our expectations. Before those youngsters even entered Ghost Lake to cause trouble, the lake itself already had some problems."

At this moment, He Liansheng spoke up.

His pale, cold eyes rolled strangely for a moment before he continued, "No matter what, the duty of Taiping Ancient Town is to guard Ghost Lake. We must not let Ghost Lake get out of control completely. Now that we have discovered the problem, let's find a way to solve it first."

During this pause in their conversation.

The boat continued forward for quite a distance.

The distance between the black boat and the unknown object they were talking about had also shortened considerably.

This allowed He Liansheng and his two companions to clearly see what the 'black dot' floating on the water was.

It was a corpse!
The body floated motionless on the cold water, back up and face down, without the slightest reaction.

"So it really is a vengeful ghost that cannot be submerged by the Ghost Lake?"

Upon seeing this, all three of them turned cold.

The woman then spoke up, saying, "It seems that something strange happened in Ghost Lake that we don't know about before, and a terrifying ghost that can't sink has run in!"

Obviously.

The three of them had a deep understanding of Ghost Lake, or more accurately, of the supernatural. They knew that some extremely terrifying ghosts, or very special ghosts that could not be imprisoned, could ignore the supernatural constraints of Ghost Lake.

"Now what?"

Should we deal with this vengeful ghost?

Both Mr. Liu and the woman focused their attention on He Liansheng.

After all, He Liansheng was not only the leader of their trip, but also the planner of the whole thing, and the leader of their group!
"Do it!"

He Liansheng's face was gloomy. Without the slightest hesitation, he directly ordered that they deal with the vengeful ghost floating in the lake in front of them.

However, after shouting the slogan "Get moving!", he himself did not make a move; instead, it was the women standing nearby who started to take action.

She took off her coat and threw it towards the location of the corpse.

Immediately.

The coat that the woman had thrown out seemed to have a mind of its own, and it covered the body floating on the water.

Then a bizarre scene unfolded.

The corpse's skin suddenly began to darken and turn black rapidly, followed by a stench of rotting flesh that quickly filled the surroundings.

The vengeful spirit is being gradually suppressed.

The coat that the woman had taken off and put on the corpse was a supernatural object, harboring a terrifying vengeful spirit that was colliding with the corpse's own supernatural presence.

The woman who took off her coat was wearing a new coat underneath, similar in style to the one she had thrown onto the corpse, only the color and pattern were different.

It's unimaginable how many coats this woman was wearing, and what's most puzzling is that her figure didn't appear bulky at all.

"All right."

After a period of time, the vengeful ghost floating on the cold water was completely suppressed.

"It's really strange. Given the level of terror this vengeful ghost has displayed, it shouldn't be able to ignore the suppression of Ghost Lake. It's impossible for it to ignore the supernatural power of Ghost Lake!"

At this moment, the woman who was the instigator of all this showed no joy on her face, but rather looked puzzled.

Her actions just now were merely a test of the vengeful spirit; she had no intention of suppressing it whatsoever. Yet, this very act of probing successfully suppressed the spirit, leaving her utterly perplexed.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu was also somewhat puzzled.

Only He Liansheng's face showed a trace of worry as he looked at the now calm lake with a thoughtful expression.

"Gurgle," "gurgle," "gurgle"...

It was at this time.

The calm lake surface suddenly began to boil, with bubbles rising all over the surface, as if a large amount of something was constantly gushing out of the water.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the three, a corpse floated up from the water, its long, black hair entwined around it.

Without a doubt, this is a female corpse!
Then another female corpse floated to the surface. This female corpse had short hair, but her face was up, as if she were sleeping on the water. Although her face was terribly pale, her lips were bright red, as if she had just applied lipstick.

This is obviously very abnormal. After all, how could a corpse soaking in water possibly apply lipstick to itself?

But it's not over yet.

The abnormality on the lake surface continues.

Under the watchful eyes of He Liansheng and the other two, the third body emerged from the water, followed by the fourth, the fifth... and more and more bodies began to appear on the surface of the water.

It only takes a moment.

The entire lake surface was covered with corpses.

Among them were men and women, the elderly and children. It's hard to imagine how many people were buried in this seemingly small ghost lake.

The most terrifying thing was that many of these corpses were crowding around the small black bed where He Liansheng and the others were.

They floated in the water like living people, rising and falling, as if walking with their eyes closed, looking incredibly eerie.

"What's going on? Is Ghost Lake about to erupt completely, and all the vengeful ghosts that have been submerged and suppressed within it over the years are about to escape?"

See this scene in front of you.

Even people like He Liansheng, who were used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but change their expressions.

The current situation is as if the entire Ghost Lake has completely erupted, and all the vengeful spirits that have been immersed in the lake have come out.

"What do we do now?"

The woman was already beginning to consider leaving.

Seemingly sensing her intention, He Liansheng said with a gloomy face, "Although the situation here is beyond our expectations, it's a bit too late to leave now."

"The supernatural has already surrounded this small boat. It hasn't attacked us yet, but we're not satisfied with the killing patterns of these vengeful spirits. However, it's only a matter of time before they do, so the best way is to deal with them all!"

While talking.

He Liansheng even took out the memorial tablet he had prepared beforehand.

Seeing that He Liansheng was really going to make a move, the remaining boss Liu and the woman did not stand idly by either, and were also ready to take action.

at the same time.

The bottom area of ​​Ghost Lake.

Li Hui also completed the suppression of Wei Jing.

At this moment, Wei Jing lay motionless at the bottom of the lake not far from him, as if he had lost the ability to move. From a distance, he looked like a corpse.

"Now it's your turn."

Li Hui's gaze fell upon the female ghost of the source.

The opponent had just attacked him several times, but Li Hui easily defused each attack and then countered and suppressed him, but he failed each time. At the critical moment, the vengeful ghost would melt into a pool of water and then merge with the entire Ghost Lake.

Using this special supernatural ability, Ghost Lake has successfully deflected countless attacks from Li Hui.

But this did not stump Li Hui.

He was walking towards the location of the vengeful ghost.

He didn't use the Ghost Domain's abilities, nor did he swim over quickly. He walked step by step on the bottom of the lake, just like he would walk on land.

At the same time, a strange scarlet light emanated from the back of his hand.

At first, the light was very faint, but in the blink of an eye, the red light suddenly intensified, illuminating everything around and dispelling the darkness at the bottom of the lake.

Then, the eerie crimson light spread toward the location of the vengeful ghost, and the surrounding cold and eerie lake water could not stop the spread of the red light.

"After so many attempts, he still couldn't suppress the vengeful spirit. Could it be that Li Hui is trying to use this red light to imprison the Ghost Lake?"

Wang Chaling, who was standing to the side, took in all of this.

He had already witnessed the eeriness, peculiarity, and terror of Ghost Lake.

But it was Li Hui.

Wang Chaling was very curious about how he would deal with Ghost Lake.

After all, from beginning to end, Wang Chaling only saw confidence on Li Hui's face, without any panic. Clearly, Li Hui had absolute confidence in dealing with Ghost Lake.
