Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 260 The Headquarters Captain Surrounded and Killed
"If it weren't for us back then, your life might have been very different. You could have married and had children like a normal person, instead of struggling to survive for an entire era like you are now."

Zhang Dong seemed somewhat guilty.

Back then, they 'created' Elder Qin. Later, when they left and each suppressed supernatural places, it was Elder Qin who suppressed and transported the evil spirits to these supernatural places.

Therefore, it's not entirely wrong to say that Qin Lao suppressed an entire era.

From the Republican era until now.

A full century has passed.

Old Qin single-handedly carried on for decades.

But how many decades does one have in a lifetime?
It can be said that Qin Lao dedicated his entire life to the supernatural, living according to the life trajectory predicted by Zhang Dong and the others.

Therefore, strictly speaking, those who had tampered with Qin Lao back then actually owe him a great debt.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it.

If given the chance to do it all over again, Zhang Dong would still choose the same approach.

In paranormal events, who can truly remain innocent and uninvolved?
Even they, didn't they also choose to sacrifice themselves and be suppressed in this supernatural place, never seeing the light of day?

Therefore, in Zhang Dong's view, if sacrificing one person's ordinary life could ensure the stable survival of a large group of people, then it was absolutely worth doing.

And Old Qin was undoubtedly that 'victim'.

"There's nothing to feel guilty about. If it weren't for you guys back then, I might not even have had the chance to be born. I might have died in the womb."

Old Qin said calmly.

He clearly knew more about his own background than anyone else.

Back then, his mother was on the verge of a vengeful ghost's resurrection. If Zhang Dong and others hadn't laid a backup plan, let alone making him an anomaly, it would have been questionable whether he could even have been born. The most likely outcome would have been that he would have died along with his mother's vengeful ghost's resurrection.

Therefore, Qin Lao felt mostly grateful to Zhang Dong and the others.

"Speaking of which, you're going to die soon, aren't you?"

suddenly.

Old Qin said this out of nowhere.

Hear the words.

Zhang Dong's expression remained unchanged as he said, "It'll be soon. There are about half a month left, which is enough time for me to arrange my own affairs."

"That's fine too, then we can keep each other company." Old Qin nodded, walked into the main hall of the old house, and sat down on a chair next to Zhang Dong.

The two elderly people then chatted casually, their conversation flowing smoothly, like old friends exchanging pleasantries after a long time apart.

It's hard to believe.

This is the mental state of two people who don't have much time left. They show no fear of death, only composure and even relief.

To them.

Death is not the end, but a new beginning.

at the same time.

A small town abroad.

This is an ordinary modern city, but hidden within this city is an extraordinary person.

Zhang Jun!

One of the captains of the Ghost Tamer Headquarters.

Due to orders from headquarters, he, a captain-level figure, had to leave his hometown and go into hiding abroad in order to investigate the recent movements of the Ghost Tamer organization overseas.

People like this, who lurk and gather information, exist all over the world, but Zhang Jun, as a captain-level Ghost Tamer, was still sent out to investigate the situation, which clearly shows that the foreign Ghost Tamer organization he was keeping an eye on was not simple.

And this is indeed the case.

Since the last invasion of Dachang City by the seven kings of the King's Organization, Cao Yanhua has sent him to infiltrate overseas in order to find out the King's Organization's intentions and conspiracies.

Today it is today.

Zhang Jun finally found out the information he wanted to know.

"They're a bunch of lunatics who want to transport all the evil spirits from abroad to the East to implement the so-called Noah's Ark Project. The king who proposed this plan must be out of his mind."

In the dimly lit alley, Zhang Jun quickly emerged, preparing to begin his escape and return to headquarters safely.

There is a King's organization stronghold in this alley.

Just now.

Zhang Jun successfully destroyed the stronghold.

They also obtained the information they wanted, but there were some problems in the process, and it is very likely that they have alerted a king in the King's Organization.

This means that the other side will arrive here soon, and he needs to leave before then to avoid being successfully surrounded by the king.

After all, this is the opponent's home court.

Once blocked.

The outcome will then be obvious.

Even a captain-level Ghost Master would be unable to withstand an attack from multiple Ghost Masters of the same level, and would be in danger of death.

to this end.

Zhang Jun even used the power of the Ghost Domain.

They wanted to escape as soon as possible.

He was enveloped in darkness, which then spread, as if trying to take Zhang Jun away from there as soon as possible.

However, the final result disappointed Zhang Jun.

His ghost realm failed to take him away; instead, the supernatural forces were blocked, and an even more powerful ghost realm appeared around him, suppressing his ghost realm to the point that it could no longer be used normally.

"Uuuuuuuuu~!"

next moment.

Zhang Jun wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he vaguely heard the sound of a train whistle. You see, there was no railway in his town, so how could there be a train whistle coming from there?

But he soon saw the source of the sound.

Suddenly, the surrounding environment had changed drastically. It was no longer the streets and alleys of the ancient town, but had become a train platform.

He was standing on the station platform at that moment.

However, the platform looked very dilapidated, and everything around it exuded an air of decay, clearly indicating that it had been abandoned for a long time.

But even on this abandoned platform, trains are still arriving.

"Besides...besides..."

The sound of the train running became increasingly clear.

Then a fog rolled in, and two dim yellow lights appeared in the fog. Then an old train appeared out of nowhere and immediately drove toward Zhang Jun on the platform.

The ghost train wasn't going fast, but Zhang Jun couldn't dodge it at all. It was as if some terrifying rule had locked him in, leaving him no choice but to take the train's impact head-on.

next moment.

The ghost train's menacing front slammed into Zhang Jun.

He was suddenly sent flying by a tremendous force, lying on the ground for a long time, unable to get up, as if the impact had killed Zhang Jun.

"Stop pretending. The ghost train may be terrifying, but I've heard of you, Mr. Zhang. This collision is definitely not enough to kill you!"

At that moment, a chilling voice rang out from the surroundings.

As the voice faded, Zhang Xun, realizing that his scheme had been exposed, slowly stood up and began to look around.

In that short time, he was completely surrounded.

At this moment, there were ten people surrounding him, blocking all of Zhang Jun's escape routes. Each of them was extraordinary, carrying a powerful supernatural aura, and were clearly the top ghost controllers from abroad.

"What an honor. Just to deal with me, did your King's Organization mobilize all its forces? A full ten kings."

Upon realizing the situation, Zhang Jun's lips twitched involuntarily, and any lingering hope he had held onto vanished completely.

He was still thinking about it.

If the enemy arrives in haste, as long as the number of kings is not large, he can fight to the death or find a chance to escape.

But now that almost all of the King's Organization's kings have been mobilized, it can be said that all his escape routes have been blocked, leaving him with no hope whatsoever.

"You think too highly of yourself."

At this moment, the gentleman from the King's organization said, "How can we possibly deal with just one person like you? It can only be said that you were unlucky and happened to arrive just in time to deal with the Ghost Train incident."

"Well? You definitely can't escape. How about joining us? Our King's Organization has always respected the strong. If possible, we don't want you to die here in vain."

At this point, another king began to persuade them to surrender.

However, Zhang Jun remained perfectly clear-headed in the face of the king's nonsense, and said disdainfully, "To associate with people like you is the greatest disgrace to me. Even if I die today, I will fight to the death to take down one or two of you!"

To surrender and give up resistance?

I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be worse than death!
That's the case.

Why should I, Zhang Jun, fear a battle?!

He immediately took the initiative and set his sights on the king who was closest to him. The king was a fat man who carried a knife and was dressed like a butcher.

"Since you've chosen to bring about your own destruction, then we'll have no choice but to grant your wish." The butcher revealed a sinister smile, and instead of retreating, he advanced towards Zhang Jun.

At the same time, the other kings also took action.

They didn't hesitate at all.

They used all their strength right from the start.

They wanted to kill Zhang Jun in an instant.

After all, they were both top-tier ghost tamers, and no one could be sure if Zhang Jun had any trump cards up his sleeve. If he really managed to take down one or two kings at a crucial moment, that would truly be a miracle.

that's it.

It only took a single glance.

Zhang Jun was killed.

His body was held in the butcher's hand, and the supernatural power within him was suppressed, turning him into a true corpse.

It wasn't that Zhang Xun was too weak, but rather that the opponent he faced was too strong.

With ten kings fighting at full strength, he had absolutely no chance of winning, and couldn't even afford to take one of them down with him.

"What do we do now? Should we suppress the news of his death to avoid alerting the Ghost Tamers' headquarters over there?" a king asked at this moment.

However, his words were met with opposition as soon as he finished speaking.

"There was absolutely no need to hide his death!"

The one who spoke was the gentleman, who continued his analysis: "As the captain of the Ghost Tamer Headquarters, his death could not be concealed at all!"

"The disappearance of a captain means that even the most incompetent people at the Ghost Rider Headquarters must realize that something is wrong."

"Currently, looking at the entire world, only our King Organization has the ability to make a captain disappear without a trace. Therefore, there is no point in hiding his death. It is better to announce it openly and thus enhance the influence of our King Organization in the global paranormal community!"

“Indeed, I also think there’s no need to hide it, because it’s impossible to hide it anyway.” At this moment, the assassin next to him also spoke up.

"As for the possibility of retaliation from the Ghost Riders Headquarters, let them come if they have the ability. I also want to kill a few other captains."

Speaking of which.

The assassin fiddled with the strange dagger in his hand, a bloodthirsty look on his face. He was clearly very confident in his own strength and believed that he could face the retaliation from the Ghost Riders headquarters.

"In that case, let's make it public!"

The other kings had no objections.

present.

The news that the King of the King Organization had successfully hunted down a captain from the Ghost Tamer Headquarters began to spread wildly throughout the paranormal community around the world.

This is truly newsworthy, like a major earthquake. Ghost Tamers all over the world are curious about how the Ghost Tamer headquarters will react to this news.

Is it to directly wage war against the King's Organization?
Or will you choose to swallow your anger?
"Fight! We must fight!"

"The King's Organization is too arrogant. They actually hunted down and killed Captain Zhang Jun. This matter cannot be left like this no matter what."

When the news reached Vice Minister Cao Yanhua's ears, he was so angry that he jumped up and down, muttering that he wanted to get revenge.

However, despite his loud shouts, the worry on his face revealed his inner unease. He then took out his phone and made a call.

The call was connected soon.

However, only one sentence came from the other end of the phone.

"We'll follow the instructions of Enforcement Captain Li Hui. If he wants to fight, headquarters will fully cooperate. If he says no, then this matter ends here. Everything is up to the Enforcement Captain!"

Hear this.

Cao Yanhua immediately understood.

However, what he didn't know was that the entire Ghost Tamer headquarters was in an uproar.

All those in charge who knew the situation, ordinary ghost tamers, and even ordinary staff members were filled with righteous indignation and demanded a full-scale war against the King's organization.

The attitude of the other team leaders at headquarters was rather strange at this moment. Apart from Wei Jing and Li Jun, no one took the lead in expressing their opinions, as if they were waiting for some signal.

When Li Hui learned about this, it was already evening. It was his personal operator, Li Wanyu, who called him specifically to inform him.

"You mean, Zhang Jun is dead? The cause of death was being ambushed and killed by the King's Organization, and then the King's Organization publicized the whole incident?"

Wangting Building, Dahang City.

Inside Li Hui's private office on the top floor.

Upon hearing this news, Li Hui frowned, never expecting Zhang Jun to be hunted down at this time.

to be frank.

Since he and Ye Zhen killed six kings—the painter, the noblewoman, the missionary, the manor owner, Simon, the twins, and others—outside Dachang City, he had stopped paying much attention to the King's Organization.

After all, in his opinion.

The King's Organization, which lost six kings at once, shouldn't dare to provoke the Ghost Riders' headquarters anytime soon, since the strength of the two sides is clearly unequal at this moment.

That's just how it seems at the moment.

He underestimated the stupidity of those kings in the King's Organization!
