Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 280 The Ghosts Targeting the Graves of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China

The terrifying ghost that emerged from the coffin surveyed its surroundings with its pitch-black eyes. A human-like contemplation appeared on its dark blue dead face, and a hint of fear appeared when its gaze fell on the black armchair placed in the hall of the old house.

That look.

It was as if that black armchair reminded it of some bad experience; to be precise, it was the person who had previously lain on that black armchair that made it very wary.

Just now...

The old house is still the same old house, and the black armchair is still the same chair, only the person who used to lie on the chair is gone.

Then the vengeful spirit's instincts surfaced.

It began to wander around the old house.

This is not a good sign.

It should be noted that it is a supernatural combination of a ghost messenger and a starving ghost. To be precise, the starving ghost swallowed the ghost messenger whole, so it can also be said that it is a starving ghost.

But whether they are ghost messengers or starving ghosts, their growth potential is very high. Now that the two fierce ghosts have become one, they possess the advantages of both, which is quite terrifying.

What's more, this is a haunted place full of vengeful ghosts.

It's no exaggeration to say that if no one stops the starving ghost at this moment, and it devours all the evil spirits here, then its level of terror will become extremely frightening.

It should be noted that it already has 35 suppression slots, and for every additional vengeful ghost it devours, its own suppression slots will increase by one, with no upper limit. At the same time, it can also master the abilities of all the vengeful ghosts it has devoured.

soon.

The starving ghost crossed the courtyard and arrived outside the gate of the old house.

"Dingling bell~"

Just then, the sound of bells ringing rang out, followed by a beam of red light extending outwards, within which four figures were walking.

The leader was a strange man carrying a square lantern, with a blank expression and lifeless eyes.

Behind him followed two foreigners, one old and one young, with blank expressions and empty eyes, and a woman with her neck skin turned outwards, her head turned 180 degrees, and her eyes completely black with no whites.

The group of four came down from the back of the old house. With each step, the bell hanging from the bottom of the square lantern carried by the leader would shake a few times, making a series of sounds as the bells clashed together.

They then saw the starving ghost standing outside the old house. However, the strange man in the lead showed no intention of taking a detour. Instead, he continued walking down, seemingly wanting to leave this eerie place through the forest path.

At the same time, the hungry ghosts noticed them and took the initiative to walk towards them.

obviously.

At this moment, the starving ghosts set their sights on them.

Furthermore, with its 35 suppression slots, the opponent was clearly in a 'lone' state, which met its attack rules. Moreover, even if it did not meet the lone rule, the hungry ghost could still attack them, because at this moment, what was in control of its body was the hungry ghost itself, not the supernatural rules of the ghost messengers!

Tap, tap, tap...

As the hungry ghost moved, a pitch-black darkness emerged and spread in all directions, especially towards the back of the old house.

next moment.

The extreme darkness came into contact with the eerie red light, and the supernatural forces of the two began to collide and influence each other.

soon.

The result was thus achieved.

The dark ghost realm belonging to the starving ghost was suppressed and unable to invade the area where the eerie red light was located. Instead, its ghost realm was invaded by the other party, and the pitch-black environment was instantly illuminated.

However, despite this outcome, the hungry ghost did not stop walking and continued to move towards the other party.

The two sides soon encountered each other.

The strange man made the first move.

Suddenly, the square lantern it was carrying shook violently, and the bell at the bottom of the lantern rang out incessantly. At the same time, the red "囍" character and the black "奠" character on the lantern both emitted an eerie light.

this moment.

A chilling atmosphere spread, an eerie presence permeated the air, and a terrifying, inevitable death curse enveloped the hungry ghost, attempting to completely suppress it.

Unfortunately, it ultimately failed.

Although the current ghost domain of the Hungry Ghost is not as powerful as the red light ghost domain emitted by the square lantern, the Hungry Ghost's own terror level far exceeds that of the other party, so it has not been suppressed.

Then the starving ghost also made its move.

It stretched out its dark blue, dead-skinned hand and reached directly at the eerie man in the lead. At the same time, its mouth opened in a terrifying arc, revealing a set of hideous, blackened ghost teeth.

at the same time.

The eerie male ghost, along with the three other ghosts behind it, simultaneously launched an attack on the starving ghost.

Four against one.

In terms of numbers, it seems that the strange men have the upper hand, but the actual situation is not so.

The battle between supernatural beings is not about numbers, but a contest of terror. In this respect, the starving ghost is clearly more terrifying, and it successfully suppressed its opponent in just a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a series of chewing sounds came from the woods.

After several minutes, the chewing sounds finally stopped. Then, the hungry ghost stood up and walked towards the back of the old house, its dark blue-black head protruding from its head.

It is worth mentioning that.

At this moment, the starving ghost had a strange item in its hand.

It was a square red lantern with characters printed on both sides. One side had the character '奠' (diàn, meaning "offering sacrifice") in black, and the other side had the character '囍' (xi, meaning "double happiness") in red. The whole thing looked particularly eerie.

In addition, a string of bells hangs at the bottom of the red lantern. As the hungry ghost walks, the bells shake constantly, making a series of 'ding-a-ling' sounds.

Tatata!
The hungry ghost then followed the muddy path under its feet toward the back of the old house, going deeper and deeper. It didn't know how long it had been walking, but the old trees around it gradually became sparse. Finally, the hungry ghost came to an open space.

The place is circular, with yellow mud on the ground, surrounded by old forests, and several graves are located in the open space.

The graves varied in age; some looked quite old, while others appeared to have been built a few years ago. 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.

next moment.

The hungry ghost's gaze fell upon the graves. At this moment, it possessed wisdom no less than that of an ordinary person, and the supernatural beings buried in those graves were its target!
With the supernatural phenomena of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China and Elder Qin as his targets, the starving ghost has now reached the 'peak of ghost life'.

After all, Zhang Dong, who had just died and whose vengeful spirit had not yet fully awakened, was buried in one of those eight tombs!
However, it was precisely because of this that the starving ghost was able to devour the seven elders of the Republic of China and the supernatural Qin.

immediately.

The starving ghosts then sprang into action.

It strode directly toward the graves in the open space.

at the same time.

Jiang Shangbai, who is in Dafu City, also encountered a very tricky situation.

After successfully invading the vanished Jiefang Road through his own ghostly domain, he discovered an extremely eerie theater.

It was a theater bathed in red light, looking as if it had been soaked in blood.

However, from the outside, the entire theater was radiating a red glow, but the interior was actually quite dark.

The only light in the entire hall was an old chandelier hanging overhead, whose dim yellow light was not enough to illuminate the environment, but it was better than nothing, at least allowing Jiang Shangbai to see things with difficulty.

But that's not the point.

What really troubled him was that he was now 'lost'.

It's hard to believe, but Jiang Shangbai got lost as soon as he entered the lobby of the theater.

After he entered the theater, the door behind him was no longer the theater entrance, but a wall. Then, as Jiang Shangbai walked around in search of the ghost, he got completely lost.

The view was identical on all sides, with dim lighting illuminating only a small area. In reality, the theater's lobby resembled a boundless, eerie space.

Tatata!
suddenly.

A series of footsteps suddenly echoed in the lobby of the theater.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was extremely eerie and impossible to pinpoint. It was as if the footsteps were in front of Jiang Shangbai one moment and suddenly appeared behind him the next.

Is a vengeful ghost about to appear?

Upon noticing this, Jiang Shangbai immediately became alert, but he remained calm, simply preparing to face the vengeful ghost at any moment.

After all, his purpose in coming here was to resolve this sudden paranormal event and suppress the vengeful ghosts wandering around.

He had been worried about how to find the vengeful ghost, but now that the ghost had appeared on its own initiative, it was obviously a good thing for him.

What Jiang Shangbai didn't expect was that what happened next made the final outcome of this supernatural event even more unpredictable.

Tap tap, tap tap tap!

The dull, stiff footsteps continued, but compared to before, they were now louder and more rapid, and there were not just one, but hundreds, as if people were walking in all directions.

Subsequently.

In the dim light that the yellow lamp could not reach, strange figures began to emerge. Their faces were not clearly visible; only a rough human outline could be seen.

next moment.

These eerie figures all surrounded Jiang Shangbai's location.

at the same time.

Tai O City.

Grayish-white paper dust began to drift in the sky above the city at some unknown time. This paper dust seemed to fall endlessly, filling every corner of the city.

This bizarre scene immediately caught the attention of everyone in Tai O City.

"There's a problem in Tai O City, go to the safe house." At that moment, inside a building, a man in his thirties wearing a suit heard his subordinate report the situation outside and his expression changed immediately. He hurriedly stood up, packed his things, and prepared to leave.

His name is He Long.

He owns many casinos in Tai O and is a prominent and extremely wealthy man.

It was precisely because of his status as a top billionaire that He Long came into contact with and learned a lot about the paranormal world. Therefore, when faced with this paranormal phenomenon in Tai O City, his first reaction was to hide in a safe house.

"Yes, Mr. He." Bodyguards immediately escorted him away.

However, just as He Long stepped out of the office, all the lights in the corridor suddenly flickered a few times and then went out, immediately dimming the surrounding light.

Upon seeing this, He Long's heart clenched. He held his breath and signaled everyone to stay still, hoping to avoid being targeted by the vengeful ghost.

The best way for an ordinary person to survive is to stay where they are and do nothing, and then pray that the ghost is just passing by and has not targeted them. This method was told to He Long by people in the paranormal community, and He Long has always remembered it.

However, what happened next horrified He Long and his bodyguards was...

Under a flickering light in the hallway, stood a strange woman. She was dressed in a red wedding gown and had a red veil covering her head, just like a bride. She stood motionless, and her red wedding gown seemed to be emitting a faint red glow.

This scene looks completely abnormal.

Is it a ghost?

He Long swallowed hard, feeling his breath catch in his throat and his body go numb. At this moment, let alone running away, even moving was extremely difficult.

His bodyguards were in similar situations, and some of them, whose mental fortitude was even weaker than his, collapsed to the ground.

"You're more timid than I thought." Suddenly, a voice that sounded familiar to He Long rang out, and the source of the voice seemed to be the eerie woman in the red wedding dress.

"He, He Yuelian? Little, little sister? Is that you?"

Upon hearing this voice, He Long seemed to snap back to reality. He stammered a little, but his expression was more one of disbelief.

After all, He Yuelian had been kidnapped by Zhang Ying and Du Hong, two ghost tamers, so it was impossible for an ordinary person like He Long to find any trace of her.

Even after they reported the incident to the police and got the officials in Tai O City to help, they still couldn't find Ho Yuet Lien.

This situation led all members of the He family, including He Long, to believe that He Yuelian had met with an accident and would most likely never return to Tai O City. They never expected that she would suddenly return, and in such a bizarre way.

"It's me." He Yuelian didn't choose to hide it when she heard He Long's question, but admitted it openly.

Hear the words.

He Long seemed quite surprised, and then he continued, "It really is you, little sister, what happened to you?"

As he spoke, He Long appeared very uneasy, because he was worried that He Yuelian had come back to settle scores.

After all, his relationship with He Yuelian wasn't exactly friendly before.
