Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 281 Revisiting Dachang City

"Don't worry, I came back to Tai O City for other things. I just stopped by to say hello. As for why I'm like this now, that has nothing to do with you. You're not in the paranormal world, and knowing too much won't do you any good."

He Yuelian's cool voice came from under the red veil.

Do not know why.

When she saw He Long again, many of her previous thoughts disappeared; the hatred was gone, replaced only by感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and reflection).

The difference in their status is now too great; she has become a top-tier ghost tamer, while He Long is just an ordinary person.

The so-called He family assets were so insignificant in He Yuelian's eyes at this moment, and her previous idea of ​​trying to prove herself and obtain the right of inheritance was so ridiculous.

Think of this.

He Yuelian suddenly felt bored.

He then said, "Alright, I've said my goodbyes. I have other things to attend to now, so I should go."

As soon as she finished speaking, accompanied by the flickering lights around her, He Yuelian's figure vanished.

"gone?"

Seeing He Yuelian leave, He Long finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the weight that had been hanging over his heart was lifted.

At the same time, He Long couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he hadn't gone too far when he did things, and had left himself an out, otherwise his little sister would have killed him today.

If He Yuelian were to actually make a move, he would have absolutely no ability to resist, so He Long was also giving himself a thumbs up for his past self.

Then another question immediately came to his mind.

"My little sister has already become a Ghost Master. The thing she's so eager to deal with is definitely not simple. Could it be that there are other Ghost Masters hiding in the shadows in Tai O City?"

Upon realizing this, He Long's expression changed drastically. He then said to his bodyguard, "Quick, get out of here. We need to go to the safe house now. It's very likely that this place will become unsafe soon, and a battle between ghost tamers will break out."

After saying that, He Long hurriedly left as if fleeing, deciding to hide in the safe house he had built earlier.

the other side.

After disappearing, Ho Yuet-lin did not leave Tai O City, but appeared in another part of the city.

This is a slightly dark and damp alley. In the alley, a strange person is crawling forward. Its limbs and body are severely twisted, but it still has the ability to move.

"Why is a vengeful ghost wandering the city without anyone interfering? Is this how Luo Sheng, the city's official in charge, behaves?"

He Yuelian's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly beneath her red veil, then she turned her head to look in another direction from Tai O City.

That's the building where Luo Sheng, the head of Tai O City, has his office.

At this moment, the building was also covered by He Yuelian's ghost domain, and gray-white paper ash kept falling from the sky around the building.

Under He Yuelian's gaze, the building's walls seemed to disappear, and she could directly see Luo Sheng, who looked panicked, in the top-floor office.

"Judging from their demeanor, it seems they've mistaken my Ghost Domain for a sudden supernatural event. Could it be that Luo Sheng believes the Ghost Painting incident has broken out in Tai O City?"

He Yuelian thought to herself.

I think this possibility is very high.

After all, the ghost painting incident has been thoroughly dealt with, and it seems that it is currently only circulating among some high-ranking officials at headquarters and team leaders. Other city leaders like Luo Sheng may not know about it.

The current supernatural appearance of the ghost painting has enveloped the entire city, so Luo Sheng might actually think that the ghost painting incident has broken out in Tai O City.

And indeed, it was just as He Yuelian had imagined.

In the office on the top floor of the building.

Luo Shengzheng looked out the window in horror, then took out his GPS-enabled phone and dialed headquarters.

The call was connected soon.

Before the operator on the other end of the phone could speak, Luo Sheng said, "This is Luo Sheng. I need to request support from headquarters, immediately!"

"A major paranormal event is currently occurring in Tai O City. A ghostly domain has covered the entire city. Judging from the current situation, this ghostly domain is very likely a supernatural phenomenon caused by a ghost painting!"

"Okay, I understand. I'll go report to Captain Zhao and the others right away." The operator on the other end of the phone didn't dare to delay and ran towards Zhao Jianguo's office after replying.

at the same time.

Tai O City.

Having successfully articulated his demands, Luo Sheng stared in disbelief at the satellite phone in his hand.

to be frank.

He was just trying it out, and never expected that he would actually get through to the headquarters operator.

After all, this is the ghost realm of the Ghost Painting. Although satellite positioning mobile phones can ignore the influence of the supernatural to a certain extent, it should be very difficult to ignore the supernatural influence of the Ghost Painting.

However, this was ultimately beneficial to him, as it allowed him to communicate with headquarters, which reassured Luo Sheng somewhat.

He knew that the Ghost Riders headquarters would not let this matter go unchecked. After all, Tai O City was a large city, and if the Ghost Painting incident were allowed to break out, the resulting deaths would be unbearable for the headquarters. Therefore, he only needed to wait for the headquarters to come to his rescue.

"I wonder which captain from headquarters will be coming to the rescue this time. It would be even better if Li Hui, who is known as the strongest captain, came in person," Luo Sheng thought to himself.

Almost at the same time.

He Yuelian also took action against the vengeful ghost in the dark alley.

Her cold, pale hand waved.

In just a moment, the ghost disappeared, leaving only a peculiar oil painting lying quietly on the alleyway floor.

The painting depicts a grotesque and distorted ghost, while the background is the street and alleyway below.

"The level of terror is not high; even an ordinary ghost tamer could handle it. Yet, they still let the vengeful ghost roam the city. That Luo Sheng is indeed a good-for-nothing."

He Yuelian thought to herself, then turned and left again, and the oil painting on the ground disappeared along with it.

For the rest of the day, He Yuelian traveled to most parts of the city and met many people.

Some of them were her former friends, and some were her relatives.

After saying a brief goodbye to those people and leaving some things behind, she embarked on her return journey, intending to go back to Hangzhou.

With the Ghost Domain that He Yuelian currently controls, if she focuses on traveling, she will be able to return to Da Hang City from Da Ao City very soon.

The hazy, ghostly realm stretched towards the distant horizon and vanished completely in a matter of moments. At the same time, the environment of Tai O City returned to normal, and no more ashes fell from the sky.

"Leaving now?"

In his office on the top floor of the building, Luo Sheng looked out the window at the restored normal environment and the ghost realm disappearing into the distant horizon, feeling somewhat puzzled.

But he didn't investigate further.

Not long ago, he received a response from headquarters saying that the ghost painting incident had been completely dealt with, so the ghost realm that appeared in Tai O City was very likely man-made.

"Ghost Painting Li Hui... the strongest captain in headquarters, who single-handedly defeated all the powerful Ghost Masters who joined forces with the Kings. Why would he suddenly come to my Great Australia City and then suddenly leave?"

Luo Sheng frowned deeply.

obviously.

He mistook He Yuelian's ghost realm for Li Hui's ghost realm.

However, this is perfectly normal, since Li Hui's code name at headquarters is "Ghost Painting," and he is currently the only ghost tamer in the world's paranormal community who is known to the public for controlling the supernatural power of Ghost Painting.

Therefore, it is quite normal for Luo Sheng to mistakenly believe that the previous ghost realm was Li Hui.

"But it's good that he left. At least it proves that I wasn't his target." At the same time, Luo Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he had been secretly contacting the King's Organization. If the headquarters found out, he would be in deep trouble. Therefore, after learning that the ghost domain covering the entire city was man-made and very likely Li Hui, Luo Sheng was worried for a long time.

With He Yuelian's departure and the dissipation of the Ghost Realm's influence, Luo Sheng's uneasy heart finally calmed down a little.

He then turned and left the office, intending to get rid of everyone who knew about his connection to the King's Organization.

at the same time.

the other side.

After leaving Da'ao City, He Yuelian returned to Dahang City and immediately went to find Li Hui.

After all, He Yuelian remembered very clearly that when she said she was going back to Da'ao City, Li Hui told her to come back early, saying that he also had something to do and needed to leave, and asked He Yuelian to keep order in Da'ao City.

In a villa in the wealthy district of Hangzhou, accompanied by a hazy, ghostly aura, He Yuelian, dressed in a blood-red wedding gown, appeared before Li Hui.

"Have you finished dealing with your business?" Looking at the bizarre scene before him, Li Hui remained calm and composed.

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuelian's voice rang out: "Yes, it's all taken care of."

"I have met with people I should and shouldn't have met, and I have left them with oil paintings imbued with my supernatural power, which can save their lives in critical moments."

Speaking of which.

He Yuelian paused.

Then, changing the subject, he said, "Didn't you say you had something to do and needed to leave Hangzhou? I'll just come back early. By the way, was what you did this time dangerous? Do you need my help?"

"no need."

Li Hui said, "If it were before, I would have been really unsure about what I was going to do next, but after going to war with the King's organization this time, I am very confident about what I am going to do next."

"I will be away for two or three days. During this time, you and Zhang Lei will stay in Dahang City and handle all matters there."

Done.

Li Hui got up from the bed.

Then a dark, ghostly domain emerged, enveloping the surroundings and instantly suppressing He Yuelian's ghostly domain. It then continued to spread in all directions, turning everything in reality into a dark, gray color.

Then Li Hui took a step and disappeared completely.

At this moment, He Yuelian looked out the window and saw a dark, ghostly realm disappearing into the distant horizon.

soon.

Li Hui then used the Ghost Domain to arrive at Dachang City, located southeast of Dahang City.

His target this time was the old house from the Republican era in Guanjiang Community, the one that initially housed the ghost mirror and the ghost cabinet.

of course.

Li Hui's target wasn't the ghost mirror or the ghost cabinet, but rather what was behind the third door in the old house.

Yin-Yang Road!
Yes.

Li Hui came here specifically for the Yin-Yang Path that connects the supernatural world and the real world; it's one of the few things in this world that can attract him.

"Guanjiang...Guanjiang...Yang Jian...Yang Jian...Indeed, the answer was there from the very beginning. This was Yang Jian's destiny, which was already predetermined in the original work."

On his previous visits, Li Hui hadn't thought about it in this way, but this time, he suddenly realized that the name "Guanjiang" in Guanjiang Community was a homophone for "Guanjiang," just like Yangjian and Yangjian, or Yang Jian.

of course.

This is not the point.

Li Hui's trip to Dachang City this time wasn't to dwell on the connection between "Guanjiang Community" and "Guanjiangkou," or between "Yangjian" and "Yang Jian," but rather for that Yin-Yang Road.

He soon arrived at an old house located in the Guanjiang residential area.

Weeds grew in front of the old house, and the two wooden doors, which were almost rotten, were half open and half closed. Through the half-open doors, you could see that the inside was also overgrown with weeds and covered with moss. Because the house had no windows, it was dark and cold inside.

Tatata!
next moment.

Li Hui walked into the old house.

In the lobby on the first floor, there were some old farm tools piled up. It seemed that the older generation used this place as a warehouse. However, because no one had managed it for a long time, and the roof was leaking, the place was filled with a musty smell.

However, Li Hui didn't pay much attention to the scene in the lobby on the first floor. Instead, he glanced at the scene and went straight up to the second floor.

"Crunch," "Crunch"...

A wooden staircase connects the first and second floors, and every now and then a creaking sound can be heard as it struggles to bear the weight, as if it might break at any moment.

Fortunately, this did not happen, and Li Hui successfully made it to the second floor.

The second-floor corridor was dark and damp, and the floor was a bit slippery. The further you went, the darker it became. At the end of the corridor was a blue brick wall, but there were three rooms and three doors along the side of the corridor.

The first door looked like a heavy iron gate, like a fortress from wartime, with sturdy rivets, covered in moss and rust, and it seemed as if it had never been opened before, as it didn't even have a handle.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is not actually an iron gate, but a gate made of gold.

Because a bright golden hue peeked out from the rust, there was no doubt that the door was made of gold, only covered with a layer of iron to conceal its true nature.

However, due to its age and poor preservation, the iron sheet on the door has completely rusted away, and a closer look reveals the golden door inside.
