Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 270 Captains Assemble
Tatata!
The interior of a dimly lit apartment building.

The second floor.

Wang Chaling was running for his life with the spirits of the Wang family, trying to escape the threat from behind. At this moment, the only spirits guarding him were his deceased mother and grandmother, while Wang Chaling's grandfather was nowhere to be seen.

This is bad news.

He got separated from his grandfather.

The good news is that his grandfather's spirit successfully helped him hold off the king, codenamed "Coffin Bearer," and the many supernatural beings in the apartment.

But even so.

At this moment, there were still many vengeful ghosts following behind him, and the King, codenamed Landlord, was also lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike. If it weren't for Wang Chaling's mother and grandmother protecting him closely, he would have died countless times already.

Therefore, Wang Chaling's situation is not good, and he may encounter danger at any time.

After all, some supernatural attacks are impossible to guard against, and even with his mother and grandmother by his side, Wang Chaling could not guarantee 100% safety.

"This can't go on. We'll be worn down here sooner or later. I have to find a way to escape first, but before that, I have to go and meet up with my grandfather!"

Wang Chaling frowned, his mind racing.

He looked quite disheveled at this moment. His usual scholarly demeanor had vanished, and his face was filled with panic. Even his glasses had disappeared; he didn't know where they had fallen during his escape.

“Mr. Wang, stop struggling. Wouldn’t it be better to stay here forever? I can reserve a very nice apartment for you.” The landlord’s voice rang out from the surroundings.

"You cowardly trash, show yourself in front of me if you dare, and I guarantee you'll be the first to die!" Despite his disheveled appearance, Wang Chaling still showed his disdain for the landlord in his words.

After witnessing the terror of the Wang family's vengeful spirits, the other party immediately hid in the shadows and has not dared to show himself in front of Wang Chaling until now.

Even though the landlord's voice had just rang out around him, Wang Chaling still couldn't see him. Moreover, the voice came from all directions, so Wang Chaling had no way of locating the landlord by sound.

"Mr. Wang, you don't need to provoke me. I admit that it was a misjudgment of us to target you first, and we failed to kill you in the shortest time. But the final result will not change in the slightest. You will die in this apartment today!"

The landlord's voice rang out again, and just like before, Wang Chaling still couldn't determine the other party's location by the voice.

And as the landlord finished speaking, the environment on the second floor of the apartment became even more gloomy and eerie. The surrounding light became increasingly dim, and a chilling, supernatural atmosphere continued to spread.

"Dong", "Dong", "Dong"...

Not only behind him, but also in the darkness in front of Wang Chaling, there were strange noises coming from, sounding like someone was bouncing a ball.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the noise, Wang Chaling was startled and immediately stopped, carefully examining the darkness ahead.

soon.

The source of the commotion came into his view.

It wasn't someone patting a ball, but rather a head bobbing up and down like a ball, heading towards Wang Chaling. It looked as if an unseen hand was patting the head like a ball.

As they drew closer, the shape of the human head became increasingly clear.

It was a highly decomposed human head, so much so that its gender was no longer discernible. With each contact between the head and the ground, a small puddle of black, foul-smelling, rotting bodily fluid was left on the ground.

"Grandma, help me get rid of that vengeful ghost in front of me." At this moment, Wang Chaling gave the order to his grandmother beside him.

As soon as he finished speaking, his grandmother beside him immediately stirred, transforming into a terrifying vengeful ghost that approached the human head.

Snapped!
next moment.

The spirit that Grandma Wang Chaling had transformed into directly reached out and grabbed the head, trying to tear the vengeful ghost's head in two.

Suddenly.

A piercing scream came from the mouth of the vengeful ghost's head.

Under Wang Chaling's watchful gaze, his grandmother directly ripped off the top of the head, creating a bloody and terrifying scene, with black, filthy bodily fluids spilling onto the ground.

After doing all this, Wang Chaling's grandmother returned to his side.

"Let's go, Grandma, Mom, let's go meet up with Grandpa first." Wang Chaling gave the order to the two ghosts beside him again.

After saying that, he rushed towards the apartment building's staircase. Beside him, two terrifying ghosts followed closely, forming a supernatural barrier that kept all other supernatural entities outside.

at the same time.

The lobby on the first floor of the apartment building.

The terrifying ghost that Grandpa Wang Chaling had transformed into was also locked in a stalemate with the coffin bearers.

Many vengeful ghost figures lay scattered across the hall floor, all suppressed by Wang Chaling's grandfather, some of their bodies torn in two.

"I never expected that Wang Chaling, who usually keeps a low profile, would have such a terrifying ghost he commands."

On the other side of the hall, the person carrying the coffin looked at the terrifying ghost opposite them with a look of fear.

He had many wounds on his body, some so deep that the bone was visible, and a cold, eerie aura emanated from them. All of these were caused by Grandpa Wang Chaling.

"Looks like we'll have to fight tooth and nail. I never expected this. I thought we'd found an easy target, but we've kicked a steel plate instead." The coffin bearer's face was extremely grim.

They originally thought killing Wang Chaling would be very simple, and then they would hunt down the next captain, but the final result far exceeded their expectations.

However, now that things have come to this point, the coffin bearers naturally cannot let Wang Chaling leave to attack the next captain, and instead intend to continue killing Wang Chaling.

He spared no effort in using his resources for this purpose.

The black coffin being held aloft.

As the coffin bearer slowly lowered his withered hand, an old, black coffin appeared in his hand.

The scene was as if the black coffin had invaded reality from some supernatural place, and as the person carrying the coffin lowered their hand, the lid of the black coffin began to vibrate, and finally, it was lifted open with a crack.

Through the crack, it was pitch black inside. Then, countless eyes appeared in that darkness. The coffin lid was opened wider and wider, and the vengeful ghost inside the coffin began to run out.

The first thing to emerge was hair. It spread out along the gaps in the coffin. The hair was very black and long. After it came out, it wrapped around the coffin lid, as if it wanted to completely lift the coffin lid open.

"This vengeful ghost has become increasingly dangerous. When it was placed at this height before, there was no way any supernatural activity could have spread out. It seems that even though it is in the coffin, it is constantly reviving."

The coffin bearers frowned upon seeing this scene.

The vengeful spirit in the black coffin in his hand was terrifying, and even he was wary of it, because it was not entirely under his control and might attack him when it was released.

in other words.

Even if he is the one carrying the coffin, and even if he personally releases the vengeful spirit from the coffin, he is still in great danger as he is closest to the coffin and may be targeted by the vengeful spirit immediately.

Because of this.

Unless absolutely necessary, the coffin bearers did not want to move the black coffin, because it was far too dangerous.

However, he can't afford to stay still right now.

To kill Wang Chaling, he must first deal with the vengeful ghosts following him. The ghosts of the Wang family are too terrifying, and he has no confidence in dealing with them on his own, even with the other vengeful ghosts in the apartment.

Sometimes, the difference in terror cannot be overcome by sheer numbers; it requires the assistance of other equally terrifying ghosts to tip the scales of victory in their favor.

"Crunch," "Crunch," "Crunch"...

A series of teeth-grinding noises rang out.

The coffin bearer kept lowering the hand that was carrying the coffin, while the gap in the coffin lid kept getting wider.

Tatata!
At this moment, the spirit of Grandpa Wang Chaling, who had transformed into a ghost, was also walking towards the coffin bearers. Before the people arrived, darkness had already enveloped them, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

When Wang Chaling fled, his order to his grandfather, who was covering their retreat, was to eliminate all the enemies in the hall.

This naturally refers not only to the vengeful ghosts on the ground, but also to the king who carried the coffin.

Now that the other vengeful ghosts have been successfully dealt with and suppressed, Wang Chaling's grandfather naturally set his sights on the person carrying the coffin.

This is one of the main reasons why the coffin bearers choose to risk their lives.

"Come on, I also want to know whether your ghost is more powerful, or the vengeful spirit in this black coffin in my hand is more terrifying!"

As the terrifying ghost that Grandpa Wang Chaling had transformed into drew ever closer, a hint of curiosity appeared on the face of the person carrying the coffin.

At the same time, he completely lowered his hand, which had been resting on his chest, and threw the black coffin in his hand directly at the ghost opposite him.

Before the coffin even hit the ground, the lid was already completely opened, and the vengeful spirit inside was released at that moment.

All of a sudden.

The lobby on the first floor of the apartment suddenly darkened. The already dim environment became completely pitch black, so dark that even the people carrying the coffin could not see their own hands in front of their faces.

Although he couldn't see through the darkness, he could sense that two terrifying ghosts were approaching each other in the darkness.

at the same time.

the other side.

New York.

This is a port located in the northeastern United States, one of the largest ports in the country, and also the meeting place agreed upon by several captains of the Ghost Riders headquarters.

By this time, eight team leaders had arrived: Cao Yang, Jiang Shangbai, Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen, Shen Lin, Liu San, Wei Jing, and Li Leping.

It can be said.

Currently, all the captains of the Ghost Tamer Headquarters, except for Enforcement Captain Li Hui and Wang Chaling, have gathered here.

"It seems that Li Hui's operation is going very smoothly. No king from the King Organization has appeared after so long, which can only mean that they have all been tied up by Li Hui."

Of the eight people.

Cao Yang spoke up.

Supernatural confrontations rarely last long; they usually end in an instant. The fact that no king has appeared means that none of the kings have managed to escape from Li Hui's grasp.

Such a result is truly awe-inspiring.

It should be noted that the number of existing kings in the King Organization is no less than, if not more than, the number of captains in their Ghost Tamer Headquarters, definitely more than ten.

However, Li Hui single-handedly stormed the King's organization's headquarters, fighting against more than a dozen opponents, and ultimately managed to hold off a group of kings—something Cao Yang and his group never even dared to dream of.

Said without politeness.

If you dare to replace the candidate who went alone to confront more than a dozen kings with Cao Yang, then Cao Yang would dare to die on the spot.

“However, it was precisely because of Li Hui’s strength that he was able to hold off all the kings single-handedly, which allowed our operation to proceed so smoothly without any hindrance, and we easily eliminated most of the kings’ strongholds,” Li Jun said.

With their captain-level strength, it's hard to say they'd be guaranteed a win against the king, but clearing out some ordinary ghost riders from the king's organization would be a piece of cake.

In just one day, they had successfully eliminated most of the strongholds, spanning dozens of countries.

As for the remaining outposts that hadn't been cleared yet, they were either too well hidden or too far away, so the team leaders didn't bother to waste their energy on them.

"But speaking of which, we've been here for so long, well past the agreed time, why hasn't Wang Chaling arrived yet?" Cao Yang asked, somewhat puzzled.

He didn't suspect that Wang Chaling had encountered any danger; he simply felt that Wang Chaling was too unpunctual.

After all, in his view, it was just a matter of clearing out a few King Organization strongholds and killing some ordinary ghost tamers. How could the vengeful ghosts controlled by Wang Chaling possibly be in danger?

"Perhaps he was delayed by something on the way. Why don't we call him and tell him we're not waiting for him and that he should head directly to the King's Organization's headquarters while we move ahead?" Jiang Shangbai suggested.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. We'll go meet up with Li Hui first. As for Wang Chaling, let him go there on his own."

Jiang Shangbai's suggestion was quickly approved by the other team leaders present. Cao Yang even took out his satellite positioning phone to call Wang Chaling.

However, just as Cao Yang found Wang Chaling's phone number and was about to dial it, his expression suddenly changed, his hand stopped dialing, and he abruptly turned his head to look towards the sea.

It wasn't just Cao Yang.

The other captains present all made the same move at almost the same time.

Follow their gaze.

A thin mist had appeared over the sea ahead, though it was sparse and exuded a chilling, eerie atmosphere.

Then, under the watchful eyes of several people.

In the thin mist, an old, lifeless, and dilapidated ship appeared and disappeared, rapidly sailing towards their port.
