Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 267 He Yuelian's Actions
Things have gotten a bit complicated!

An unknown, supernatural space.

Upon taking a clear look at his surroundings, Wang Chaling frowned immediately.

The surrounding area was completely dark.

The road we came from and the road ahead have both disappeared.

The only thing in the entire world was this old building in front of him; there were no other buildings. This eerie scene undoubtedly told Wang Chaling that he had inadvertently entered an unknown supernatural space.

He was aware of many similar cases.

By connecting the supernatural with reality and blurring the boundary between the two, not to mention an ordinary person, even a truly top-notch ghost tamer could unknowingly cross that boundary and enter the supernatural realm. By the time they realize it, it's too late to go back.

Therefore, Wang Chaling did not think of retreating at first, but immediately focused his attention on the old building in front of him.

Although the building is old, it is very sturdy, with thick walls and narrow windows, giving people the feeling of entering a prison cell.

However, this building was not a prison, but an apartment building, and it seemed to be still in operation. The door was open, and dim yellow lights shone out from inside. Several figures could even be vaguely seen moving around in the windows upstairs.

Just as Wang Chaling was observing, two figures appeared on the first floor of the apartment building. Then the apartment door opened, and the two people walked out of the building one after the other.

The two men were an old man with a short, gray beard and wearing a monocle, and a strange old man who was shirtless, thin, and had one hand raised above his head.

It was the king codenamed Landlord and Coffin Bearer!
“It seems this wasn’t a sudden paranormal event, but rather something man-made. You two must be kings in the King’s Organization, right?” Wang Chaling adjusted his glasses, his words revealing a strange certainty.

At this juncture, only members of the King's Organization would dare to take the initiative to deal with him, and ordinary ghost tamers obviously wouldn't possess such terrifying abilities. Therefore, the two opponents could only be the kings of the King's Organization.

"Two kings have come at once. Your King's Organization thinks highly of me. But do you really think you can deal with me with just the two of you? Aren't you being a little too confident?"

Wang Chaling's expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "After all, if we really count it, it's not two against one, but three against two. The numerical advantage is still with us!"

While talking.

The spirits of Wang Chaling's grandparents and his mother all appeared, standing in front of him and protecting Wang Chaling, who was just an ordinary person.

Even so, Wang Chaling still felt unsafe, his mind racing as he searched for a way out, while his heart was filled with doubt, wondering why two kings had suddenly appeared here.

"Could it be that Li Hui's attempt to stop the kings from going to the King's Organization headquarters failed?" Wang Chaling wondered to himself.

Besides.

It seems there are no other possibilities.

"But if Li Hui's operation failed, where is he right now? Could he have already been killed?" Wang Chaling's heart sank.

If even Li Hui, the so-called strongest law enforcement captain in headquarters, has fallen, then what fate awaits him?
The more you think.

Wang Chaling's mind became increasingly confused.

Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person at this moment. Even with the spirits of his own Wang family by his side, Wang Chaling was still somewhat uncertain when facing such a top-tier ghost tamer.

not to mention.

At this moment, not all the spirits of the Wang family have arrived. His father, Wang Lu, the second generation of the Wang family, is not here, but in the Wang family ancestral home in Dadong City. He has not come out since he entered the Wang family ancestral home.

"You're too arrogant."

The landlord said with a sinister expression, "Who said we're two against three? We clearly have the numerical advantage!"

"Now that you've entered this supernatural space, your only way out is through this apartment building behind me. But unfortunately, you don't have the chance to leave alive."

While talking.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The darkness was spreading, and everything around was becoming indistinct. Then the old apartment building grew larger and larger, eventually encompassing the entire surrounding area.

that's it.

Even though Wang Chaling did not actively enter the apartment building, he still arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the apartment under some kind of supernatural influence.

The hall was very dark, with only an old-fashioned oil lamp hanging from the ceiling overhead providing light, but it couldn't completely dispel the surrounding darkness, making the environment seem quite gloomy.

"They've disappeared, hiding in the shadows. Are they planning to ambush me? Or do they have some other scheme in mind?"

At this moment, Wang Chaling discovered that the landlord and the coffin bearers had disappeared and were not present in the lobby of the apartment building like he was.

"Ignore them for now. My intuition tells me this building is no ordinary place. I should figure out how to get out of here first." A thoughtful look flashed in Wang Chaling's eyes before he began searching for a way out.

There was no apartment door behind him, but rather walls on all sides, as if it were a completely enclosed space, and the exit door he had seen earlier was just an illusion.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"...

Just as Wang Chaling was preparing to find a way out, a strange and eerie noise suddenly came from the depths of the apartment. It sounded a bit like the sound of doors being opened at the same time, but it was not quite the same.

"What's going on? Are paranormal phenomena starting to emerge in this building?" Upon hearing the commotion, Wang Chaling stopped in his tracks, his expression turning extremely grim, his eyes filled with vigilance.

At the same time, the spirits of Wang Chaling's grandfather, grandmother, and mother, who had transformed into ghosts, protected him in the middle, forming a barrier that kept all other supernatural beings outside.

“Wang Chaling, this is where you will be buried today. This apartment building has the ability to suppress vengeful ghosts. The ghosts around you can’t protect you at all.”

Then the landlord's voice came again.

As the sound rang out, the landlord and the coffin bearers reappeared before Wang Chaling's eyes, along with numerous supernatural phenomena within the old apartment building.

Shadows began to flicker in the darkness.

There are many.

There is more than one.

“These are all my tenants. I called them all out to welcome you. How about it, Wang Chaling, say hello to them?”

While talking.

The landlord, the coffin bearers, and a group of figures in the darkness all rushed towards Wang Chaling's location.

"Grandpa and Grandma, help me kill them!" Upon seeing this, Wang Chaling's expression changed drastically, and he also gave the order without hesitation to the terrifying ghosts standing beside him.

next moment.

The supernatural clash between the two sides has begun.

at the same time.

In a remote town in the United States.

The king, codenamed 'Gravedigger,' is hiding here. This is his hometown, and it also has the safe house he built.

After successfully escaping that sea area, the gravedigger returned here, hoping to avoid any potential dangers that might follow.

He believed it was unlikely that Li Hui would find this place, because it was too remote and he was in a safe house. There was absolutely no reason for Li Hui to find him.

However, what the gravedigger didn't expect was that instead of being hunted down by Li Hui, he attracted other people who wanted him dead.

He Yuelian!
Originally, He Yuelian was arranged by Li Hui to hide in the shadows and ambush the king who was trying to escape. The gravedigger was the first to run away, so he naturally became He Yuelian's target.

At this moment, the environment of the entire town was noticeably changed.

Snow suddenly began to fall from the sky over the town.

"No, it's not snow, it's paper ash?"

On the streets of the small town, a pedestrian thought it was snowing and reached out to catch it, only to find that what he held in his hand was actually paper ash.

At first, only a small amount of paper ash fell, but soon, more and more paper ash fell, obscuring the sky. The surrounding green mountains and clear waters gradually turned into a hazy gray, and the brightly colored world suddenly seemed to have lost its color, leaving only gray and white.

The townspeople were very curious about this sight and started discussing it.

"Why is there so much paper dust? Could it be that a fire broke out at a nearby paper mill?" someone speculated.

"It must be air pollution. How much paper must have been burned to produce so much ash? There must be some kind of chemical plant built nearby," an elderly man said confidently.

"I wonder if the ashes from this paper are poisonous." Many people are worried.

However, their lives were not affected in any way; things continued as usual. They were just a little unaccustomed to such a sudden change.

However, compared to ordinary people, the gravediggers hiding in the safe house changed their expressions drastically when they saw the changes in the town outside.

"This is a ghost painting, has Li Hui come looking for us?" The gravedigger's voice trembled slightly.

Although the ghost realm that Li Hui displayed in the sea area where the King Organization headquarters was located was somewhat different from the ghost realm that appeared in the town now, and not exactly the same, the gravedigger knew very well that Li Hui had indeed mastered a part of the ghost painting's supernatural abilities.

Back when he and several kings, including the owner of the terrifying manor, faced Li Hui outside Dachang City in H Country, the ghost realm that Li Hui displayed was the supernatural spectacle of the ghost painting. That scene was almost no different from the environment of the small town outside now.

It is precisely because of this.

After the gravedigger recognized the supernatural phenomena in the ghost realm outside, his first reaction was not that the ghost painting incident had started to erupt again, but that Li Hui had come looking for him and was ready to kill him completely.

But the gravediggers soon changed their minds.

"That's... the vengeful ghost that originated from the ghost painting?"

Through the gilded glass of the safe house, the gravedigger witnessed an extremely horrifying scene.

The entire town outside the safe house had turned into a gray-white world, with snow-like ashes constantly falling. In the center of that ghostly realm, a very strange female figure had appeared at some unknown time.

She was wearing a red wedding dress, with a veil covering her head. Her exposed palms were pale and cold, giving her an extremely eerie feeling.

The gravedigger was not entirely unfamiliar with that figure. Although there were some discrepancies between the ghost painting he knew and the one he was familiar with, he was certain that it was the true source of the ghost painting!
"So I guessed wrong. It wasn't Li Hui who came looking for us, but someone who triggered the murderous pattern of the ghost painting, thus attracting that terrifying vengeful ghost to this town?"

The gravedigger, who thought he had guessed the truth, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Rather than facing Li Hui, he would rather be involved in the ghost painting incident himself, especially since he was currently in a safe house and wouldn't be so unlucky as to be targeted by the ghost painting.

What he didn't expect was.

The terrifying figure in the red wedding dress seemed to have come specifically to find him, moving through the gray and white ghost world and heading straight towards the safe house where the gravedigger was.

"what's the situation?"

The gravedigger also vaguely sensed that something seemed amiss in the course of events.

"Is the vengeful ghost behind the ghost painting incident targeting me? But how is that possible? I haven't triggered any of its killing patterns..."

The gravediggers were somewhat puzzled.

How could he have imagined that the person outside, dressed in a red wedding gown, was not the vengeful ghost that was the source of the ghost painting incident, but He Yuelian, who had completely mastered the ghost painting and the supernatural power of the mummified bride?

But no matter what the grave diggers think, it doesn't change the fact that He Yuelian is constantly moving closer to this side.

soon.

Dressed in a blood-red wedding gown, He Yuelian, with a bewitching allure, arrived outside the safe house where the gravediggers were located.

"You really can run fast. If I hadn't been careful, I might not have been able to find this place. But all your efforts are doomed to failure. You are going to die today!"

He Yuelian's voice rang out from beneath the red bridal veil: "The so-called safe house is fine for keeping ghosts away, but if you want to use it to stop ghost tamers, that's just wishful thinking!"

The words have not yet fallen.

He Yuelian has already begun to make her move.

She simply raised her palm, and the safe house made of gold began to rise into the sky, before suddenly crashing down after reaching a certain height.

"Boom~!"

A huge roar sounded.

The safe house, built with gold, came into close contact with the concrete pavement of the town's streets.

Under such a violent collision, even a house made of gold could not withstand it. In just one moment, the walls of the safe house began to show cracks like spider webs.

He Yuelian then continued.

Under the control of her ghost realm.

The safe house in front of us rose rapidly into the air again, and then began its second free fall, colliding with the ground.

The supernatural could not affect the gold, which seemed to have been completely rewritten by He Yuelian at this moment, but the actual situation was obviously not like that.

Her ghostly domain did not envelop the safe house itself, but rather the land and concrete foundation beneath it.

Well known.

Supernatural phenomena cannot affect gold, but they can wrap gold in other materials, allowing the ghost realm to easily move the wrapped gold object.

This is common sense that couldn't be simpler!

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"...

A series of impacts rang out.

Under He Yuelian's control, the safe house where the gravediggers were hiding began to rise into the air again and again, only to fall down once more.

The collision left the town's streets in a mess, riddled with potholes, and the safe house itself began to crack and deform, soon to collapse completely.
