Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 276 The Ghostly Cry Incident, Old Qin's Grave!

"Everyone should be well aware of Wei Jing's capabilities. With him staying at headquarters, we can not only handle the paranormal events in Dajing City well, but also prevent some villains from coveting headquarters."

Cao Yanhua continued to explain, "Moreover, with him protecting Professor Wang, I think you, Li Jun, should feel quite at ease."

In fact, the captain he most wanted to stay at the Ghost Riders Headquarters was Li Hui, but Li Hui obviously wouldn't agree.

Therefore, as a second choice, besides Lu Zhiwen, the minister's bodyguard and confidant, the only option was to select the strongest, most responsible, and obedient captain.

Wei Jing was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate among them.

Both in terms of their own abilities and other aspects, they perfectly met the selection criteria of the headquarters' senior management. Therefore, after comprehensive comparison, Jiang Shangbai and Li Jun became the candidates for overseas assignment.

Li Jun, like Wei Jing, was very obedient to the headquarters' orders. Unfortunately, his own strength was not as good as Wei Jing's. Compared to them, Jiang Shangbai was simply not worth mentioning and had no reason to stay at the headquarters.

“Okay, since this is the headquarters and Professor Wang’s decision, I have no objections. I will go to Daji City after I finish the handover.” Li Jun said calmly.

As a soldier by birth, he had to obey orders more than anyone else. His previous rebuttal was only for Wang Xiaoming's sake. Now that headquarters planned to have Wei Jing replace him in protecting Wang Xiaoming, Li Jun naturally had no objections.

"This……"

However, compared to Li Jun, Jiang Shangbai was undoubtedly much more conflicted.

If possible, he would naturally prefer to stay at headquarters in Dajing City, since it was a place where their "circle of friends" had put in a lot of effort to successfully establish themselves, and they had even given up a lot for it.

He had finally secured a captain's position, and after Fang Shiming's death, he became the leader of his circle of friends. But what he didn't expect was that Cao Yanhua would appoint him to be in charge of Dafu City.

Wouldn't that mean he'd be in charge of all the paranormal events in Dafu City?

Jiang Shangbai naturally wanted to refuse this appointment, but he also knew that his foundation at headquarters was too shallow. Even Li Jun, who belonged to the "direct line", had been transferred out. How could he have the right to refuse?

Think of this.

Jiang Shangbai said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go back and take care of some personal matters, and then I'll go to Dafu City to take up my post."

This wasn't accepting a transfer, but rather resigning himself to fate. He had no power to refuse. Jiang Shangbai could see it clearly now: among all the team leaders, he was at the bottom in every aspect.

“Okay, since none of you have any objections, let’s settle this matter here. As for the personnel transfer, I’ll talk to Li Hui about it later,” Cao Yanhua said.

Although he is the deputy minister of the Ghost Tamer Headquarters, now that the enforcement captain has been elected, the entire headquarters will work around the enforcement captain. Obviously, such a big matter as transferring the captain needs to be discussed with the enforcement captain.

"If there's nothing else, you can go back now and take care of some personal matters," Cao Yanhua said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jun, Jiang Shangbai, Lu Zhiwen, and Wei Jing said goodbye and left, leaving only Captain Cao Yang in the office.

After the office door was closed.

The two people inside the room began to talk.

……

"Are you saying that Ah Zhen secretly went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup last week and has already confirmed that she is pregnant?"

Anning Building.

Wang Chaling had just returned to Dadong City when he heard a report from his subordinates.

As one of the team leaders of the headquarters and the person in charge of Da Dong City, although he usually keeps a low profile in Da Dong City, he actually has all the movements of the entire city under his control.

He can obtain any information immediately, even highly confidential information.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, Miss Zhen did go to the hospital last week and has been confirmed to be pregnant," a male assistant in the office said.

"Okay, I understand. Keep this to yourself and don't mention it to anyone. Just pretend it never happened."

Hear the words.

Wang Chaling explained.

At the same time, the image of a woman appeared in his mind. She was his former female assistant, with a very sexy figure and a very beautiful face, and she had a deep relationship with Wang Chaling.

"Judging by the time, the child in her belly should be mine. Wang Sidai... Is it really necessary to let the Wang family curse continue?" Wang Chaling thought to himself.

to be frank.

Wang Chaling himself did not want the curse of the Wang family to continue, nor did he want his son or daughter to bear the mission and abilities of the Wang family before they were even born.

Take Wang Chaling himself as an example.

He himself had studied abroad in order to escape the Wang family's curse and not want to become the "third generation of the Wang family" in the supernatural community.

However, the reality is cruel.

Wang Chaling tried many methods, but he couldn't escape the supernatural curse of the Wang family. So in the end, he returned to Da Dong City, became the third generation of the Wang family in everyone's eyes, joined the headquarters, became the person in charge of Da Dong City, and became the captain.

The 'Ah Zhen' that the assistant mentioned is pregnant. That's his child, the fourth generation of the Wang family. Even though he hasn't been born yet, and he's not dead, he's already become a continuation of the Wang family's curse.

"Forget it, let's wait until we determine the baby's gender before making a decision. Besides, I'm in good health right now and can hold out for a long time, so I have plenty of time to deal with the continuation of the Wang family's supernatural curse!"

Think of this.

Wang Chaling didn't dwell on it.

He then said to his assistant, who was still there, "Go tell Ah Zhen to come over here."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I understand. If there's nothing else to instruct me on, I'll take my leave now," the assistant said. Then, at Wang Chaling's wave, he opened the office door and left.

at the same time.

After returning to their respective cities, the other team leaders immediately called their assistants to inquire about any events that had occurred in the city while they were away.

Even Li Hui was the same.

He piloted the ghost ship, taking He Yuelian with him, and the first thing he did upon returning to Dahang City was to find Zhang Lei and inquire about the situation in Dahang City.

"The situation is alright. After you left, a paranormal event occurred in Dahang City, but it was not very scary and I have successfully dealt with it. This is the file and some related information about that paranormal event."

As Zhang Lei spoke, he took out a file folder and handed it to Li Hui.

"A supernatural event actually happened. How strange. Dahang City was already cleaned up before, so how could a supernatural event still occur? Could it be a wandering evil spirit?"

Li Hui's expression was somewhat surprised.

He had just asked casually, but he never expected that there would actually be supernatural events in Hangzhou.

He then took the file from Zhang Lei and began to examine it.

Code name: Ghost Caller.

Hazard level: C.

……

According to archival information.

The location of the "ghostly call" paranormal event was Xintang Road in Hangzhou.

The ghost's supernatural behavior perfectly matched its code name. Whenever someone walked alone on Xintang Road, they would hear someone calling their name from behind. If they turned around, they would be killed instantly.

"So this is a paranormal event similar to being targeted when you're alone. It's fine when you're walking with a group of people, but if you're walking alone, you'll hear someone calling your name. If you turn around, you'll definitely die. It's similar to a ghost calling out to people, but it's not as terrifying as a ghost calling out to people."

After reviewing the file information, Li Hui made a judgment in his mind.

He wasn't sure if this ghostly screamer was a piece of the same puzzle as the screaming ghost that appeared in the original work, but compared to the ghostly screamer, the ghostly screamer was indeed not very scary and its level of harm was also very low, no wonder it was classified as a C-level.

of course.

This applies to those who are already familiar with the rules of ghosts and supernatural phenomena.

For ordinary people who are completely unaware of the situation, this ghostly summoning is equally terrifying, with a very high mortality rate if encountered, since turning back means certain death. Even some ghost tamers who are unaware of the rules are easily affected.

However, since Zhang Lei has already dealt with this paranormal incident, Li Hui is no longer concerned about the supernatural rules of that vengeful ghost. Instead, he has become interested in Xintang Road.

He remembered it clearly.

Not long ago, he used his ghost domain to cover the entire city of Hangzhou, including Xintang Road, where this ghost-calling incident broke out.

Li Hui is certain.

At that time, that area had no ghosts, not even the slightest trace of the supernatural, and it was not connected to any other supernatural place.

"But according to the records, the Ghost Caller doesn't seem to have the ability to wander. It always lingers on Xintang Road. So, was it released by someone, or did a ghost tamer happen to pass by and the vengeful ghost revived and died?"

While thinking.

Li Hui planned to go and see for himself.

Then his ghost domain expanded, and the entire world was left with only endless grayness. Everything in reality was assimilated when it came into contact with his ghost domain, turning into a gray expanse.

Deep within his ghostly realm, an old, dilapidated ship could be vaguely seen, appearing and disappearing, which seemed very eerie.

The ghost domain then spread towards Xintang Road, and Li Hui's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

"found it."

After a while.

Li Hui appeared in a dilapidated, unfinished building on Xintang Road.

What came into his view was an extremely bloody scene: a corpse that had been dead for a long time and was already rotting and stinking lay on the ground, and next to the corpse was an open box.

The box was covered in bloodstains, which had turned black and dried, but it was still impossible to tell that the box's base color was golden.

"A box made of gold, so the real source comes from here?" Li Hui frowned slightly.

next moment.

A dim, ghostly light flashed by.

Zhang Lei, He Yuelian, and their group also appeared at this location.

"This is……?"

The moment Zhang Lei saw the corpse and the golden box next to it, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately realized the problem.

He then said, "I'm sorry, Captain Li, I was too careless this time."

"The main reason is that this place is quite far from the places where vengeful ghosts often appear, and it has long been abandoned, so no one would come here. Therefore, we never thought of sending anyone to search this place."

Hear the words.

Li Hui said calmly, "There's nothing to apologize for. The paranormal incident has been successfully resolved, so knowing the source before that isn't really important."

"I asked you to come here so that you can investigate this person's identity and his purpose in bringing the vengeful ghost to Dahang City."

"Alright, I'll leave things here to you. Once you've investigated his identity and the purpose of his visit to Hangzhou, remember to let me know. I'd like to see if this incident was an accident or if someone is behind it."

The words fell.

Li Hui vanished completely.

At the same time, the environment in Dahang City returned to normal. The extreme gloom quickly faded away, and the entire city regained its original colors.

Zhang Lei, who remained behind, made phone calls to organize a team and began the investigation.

that's it.

More than half a month has passed.

Zhang Lei finally made progress in identifying the body in the unfinished building, and then he planned to report to Li Hui.

at the same time.

An unknown, haunted place.

This is an old house nestled in a grove of trees, with two red lanterns hanging above the main gate.

Behind this old house from the Republican era, deep in the woods, lies a clearing. The area is circular, covered in yellow mud, surrounded by old trees, and several graves sit in the clearing.

The graves varied in age; some looked quite old, while others appeared to have been built recently. Each grave had a tombstone with a name and a portrait, and an offering—a bowl of white rice in a blue-and-white porcelain bowl—was placed in front of each tombstone.

The tombstone of the first grave features a portrait of a man dressed in old clothes, who appears to have been dead for many years, and who is quite handsome.

The second tombstone features a portrait of a very beautiful woman with waist-length hair, a smiling face, and wearing a cheongsam. Because the portrait is black and white, it is impossible to tell what color the cheongsam actually is.

The portrait on the third grave is of a middle-aged man with a fierce expression, while the portrait on the fourth grave is of a woman with a gentle expression.

The portrait on the fifth tomb also depicts a man, covered in mud, with a cold, emotionless expression on his face. His pupils are black, giving him an extremely sinister and terrifying feeling.

As for the tombstone portrait of the sixth grave, it depicts an old man wearing an old-fashioned jumpsuit, holding a cane, hunched over, with age spots and wrinkles on his face.

If Li Hui were here, he would definitely recognize that the old man in the portrait on the sixth tomb is none other than Old Qin!
