Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 283 Starving Ghost VS Old Qin's Backup Plan

"Hey, He Yuelian, another paranormal event has occurred in Dahang City. I'm on the scene right now, but the vengeful ghost has formed a ghost domain. I'm afraid something might happen if I go in alone to deal with it, so I'd like you to come over."

After the call was connected.

Zhang Lei spoke urgently.

Just as he finished speaking, He Yuelian's cool voice came from the phone: "Okay, I understand."

Then came a series of busy tones, clearly indicating that He Yuelian on the other end of the line had hung up without even asking for the location of the paranormal event.

However, Zhang Lei seemed completely unconcerned about this.

He was well aware of He Yuelian's strength.

Having fully mastered the supernatural power of the ghost painting, and with its terrifying ghost domain ability, it could easily cover the entire city of Hangzhou, making it extremely easy to find their location.

"He Yuelian should arrive soon. With her there to keep things under control, this paranormal incident shouldn't be too difficult to handle. In fact, if she's willing to take action, she could even imprison that vengeful ghost immediately!"

While thinking to himself, Zhang Lei's gaze involuntarily fell on the surroundings of the residential area shrouded in thick fog, especially the security guard's room not far from him.

The security room was not completely shrouded in mist; part of it remained exposed in the real world.

If you look closely, you'll find that the part of the security room that's still outside looks perfectly normal, but the other part shrouded in mist looks rusty, old, and dilapidated.

This was thanks to the fact that the fog thinned as they got closer to the outside; otherwise, Zhang Lei might not have been able to see this scene.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Lei immediately identified the mist as a ghost realm.

"Ok?"

suddenly.

Just as Zhang Lei was deep in thought, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had sensed something, and his gaze immediately shifted from the security room of the residential area to the distant sky.

At this moment, the sky in the distance turned gray and hazy, which was He Yuelian's ghost realm, the eerie realm of the ghost painting.

At that moment, the ghostly domain rapidly spread towards the place where he was.

At the same time, some faint, indistinct things began to fall from the sky; they were clumps of paper-ash-like objects.

At first, there was very little paper ash, but in the blink of an eye, a rain of paper ash began to fall around us. Moreover, the supernatural power of the ghost realm affected the surrounding area. Everything in reality lost its original color after coming into contact with that gray ghost realm, leaving only endless gloom.

next moment.

Under Zhang Lei's gaze.

He Yuelian, dressed in a red wedding gown that looked as if it were stained with blood, appeared beside him.

"what happened?"

As soon as He Yuelian arrived at Zhang Lei's side, she asked him, "We just investigated Dahang City and confirmed that there were no problems. How come a supernatural event suddenly broke out right after Li Hui left?"

Her tone was as cold as ever, her voice devoid of any emotion. Although it was a question, her voice was utterly indifferent, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

"I do not know either."

Zhang Lei responded, "I just received the news and rushed over immediately. I don't know much about the vengeful ghost in the neighborhood. When I discovered that it possessed ghost domain abilities, I wasn't confident that I could handle it completely, so I called you over to help."

Hear the words.

He Yuelian was not surprised.

She then said, "In that case, let's deal with the vengeful ghost inside first. After that, I'm going to conduct a full-scale search of Dahang City. I have a feeling that there's more to these two recent supernatural events than meets the eye, as if someone is deliberately targeting us."

The words fell.

He Yuelian then took direct action.

Clumps of grayish-white paper ash drifted around, and her hazy, ghostly aura spread directly toward the mist-shrouded residential area ahead.

next moment.

The clash between the two ghost realms has begun.

The collision then resulted in a one-sided outcome. The mist that enveloped the neighborhood was suppressed the moment it came into contact with He Yuelian's gray ghostly domain. The mist surged and the area it covered shrank rapidly.

"Don't resist. I'll take you directly into the residential area to see if there are any clues left inside."

At this moment, He Yuelian's voice rang out.

Before Zhang Lei could react, she used her Ghost Domain to take him directly into the residential area, completely ignoring the mist that was being suppressed by her Ghost Domain.

at the same time.

the other side.

The open space where Zhang Dong and the other seven elders of the Republic of China, as well as Elder Qin, were buried was now in a terrible mess.

Dirt was scattered all over the ground.

Of the eight graves standing on this open space, six had already been dug up, leaving only the graves of Qin Lao and Zhang Dong untouched.

As for the other six graves, they were all dug up, and everything inside that contained supernatural elements was looted, including the corpse of the graveyard owner, Luo Qian.

And the culprit behind all of this was the starving ghost.

Having successfully revived and gained intelligence and self-awareness, it immediately set its sights on the supernatural phenomena within the vacant graveyard.

After all, the characteristic of a starving ghost is to devour other supernatural beings to grow. In this supernatural land, the number of vengeful ghosts is countless, but most of them are still dormant. And speaking of which, what vengeful ghost can compare to the supernatural beings of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China?

Even though most of these graves are cenotaphs, the real people are not buried here, but are guarding other supernatural places, or wandering in other places in reality, such as Li Qingzhi and Luo Wensong.

Even so, there are still supernatural remnants left here, whether they are the supernatural beings that have been dismembered from themselves, or for some other reason. In short, there are supernatural beings in every grave, but now they have all been devoured by the starving ghosts.

This further amplified its terrifying nature, especially after the starving ghost successfully devoured the supernatural being Luo Qian, the graveyard owner.

Tap tap, tap tap tap!

Dull footsteps sounded.

At this moment, the starving ghost began to walk towards the seventh grave in the open space, which was the grave where Old Qin was buried.

Then it came to the front of the tomb and, as before, began to dig it up, wanting to devour Old Qin, who had been dead for a long time.

The grave-digging operation went very smoothly, without any unexpected incidents. Soon, the starving ghost dug out the coffin containing Old Qin.

However, the moment it opened the coffin lid, strange phenomena began to appear around it.

Suddenly, Qin Lao in the coffin stood up. His face, which looked extremely old and was covered with wrinkles, was expressionless, and his eyes were empty and cold.

And a chilling aura spread everywhere.

Soon, several blurry figures appeared beside 'Old Qin'. Judging from the overall body shape of those strange figures, they were all Old Qin.

And whether by accident or design, a strange figure appeared next to the eighth grave where Zhang Dong was buried.

To be precise, it was still just a deep pit, and the surrounding soil did not bury the black ghost coffin placed in the pit.

The body of Zhang Dong, who had already died, was lying in that coffin at that moment.

"Clap!"

next moment.

In that instant, the blurry, eerie figure seemed to materialize completely, as if it had invaded reality from the supernatural, and directly overturned the coffin lid containing Zhang Dong's corpse.

This sudden scene even made the starving ghost stop its attack on Old Qin, and instead stop and look at everything that was happening in front of it with its pitch-black eyes.

But when it saw Zhang Dong's corpse in the coffin, a human-like fear appeared on the starving ghost's dark blue dead face, and it involuntarily took a few steps back.

This scene was truly terrifying; who could have imagined that a real vengeful ghost would possess the emotion of fear?

But the fear on its face quickly disappeared, clearly realizing that Zhang Dong was dead and just a corpse, and its own supernatural abilities had not yet fully recovered.

Despite this, a trace of fear remained in the eyes of the starving ghost, and it began its attack on Elder Qin.

opposite.

'Old Qin' also stepped forward to meet it, and it seemed that he was also preparing to attack the nearest starving ghost.

They soon began to fight each other.

The supernatural forces of both sides began to clash.

at the same time.

In the real world, a supernatural event also suddenly broke out in Daji City.

At this moment, the person in charge of this city is Li Jun, who has just taken office and is also one of the captain candidates previously sent out by the Ghost Riders headquarters.

"You said the Ghost Museum incident happened in Daji City?" Li Jun asked his staff in the city official's office.

"Yes, Captain Li."

The staff responded, "This paranormal event happened very suddenly. The Xinhua Bookstore suddenly turned into a museum, and the people who were in the store at the time, as well as those who went in out of curiosity later, never came back. Here are the relevant archives and information."

talking.

A staff member handed me a document.

Seeing this, Li Jun took it and began to look through it.

The information in the file was very detailed, recording everything from the initial signs of the event to the process and the final result. It is clear that the person who recorded this information had put a lot of thought into it.

In addition to the information, there are also several photos taken from different angles.

The photo shows an old building with a sign that reads "Haunted Museum" in large characters.

The handwriting was very ugly, crooked and twisted like scribbling, and the color of the words was all red, like blood, giving people an extremely sinister and eerie feeling.

"The incident occurred on Zhouxi Road? If I remember correctly, that doesn't seem to be very far from here," Li Jun asked the staff.

"Yes."

A staff member immediately responded, "Zhouxi Road is only two streets away from here, and the diameter is no more than three kilometers."

Upon hearing this, Li Jun frowned and subconsciously said, "So, does that mean that supernatural event has broken out in the area near the city center? If it can't be controlled quickly, won't many people die?"

no doubt.

Li Jun is a person with a strong sense of justice and responsibility. At this moment, he couldn't help but worry about the safety of the people of Daji City.

He then began his operation.

Because he wanted to get to the scene as soon as possible to deal with the paranormal event, Li Jun didn't even have anyone arrange vehicles for the operation. Instead, he planned to use the Ghost Domain to teleport there.

A strange, bluish-green light emanated from his body, just like a giant, constantly leaping flame, except that this flame was bluish-green.

next moment.

The emerald green ghostly light spread outwards, and then Li Jun's figure disappeared from the spot.

Using his Ghost Domain ability to move, Li Jun quickly arrived at Zhouxi Road.

At this time, the entire road was blocked off, the shops and residential buildings on both sides of the road were all emptied, and all the nearby residents were evacuated.

From this perspective alone, the staff of Daji City performed quite well in handling this matter, managing to seal off the scene and evacuate the surrounding residents in the shortest possible time.

Li Jun then turned his gaze to a very special building on Zhouxi Road.

It was a building that stood out from the other buildings around it. It looked extremely old and was not a modern building at all. It seemed to have been built in the last century. From a distance, it looked like an old building standing alone.

If someone unaware of the situation saw it, they would think it was a holdout building left over from a previous development and demolition project, but in reality, it was a haunted house.

Even Li Jun's ghost domain failed to invade the interior of that old museum; instead, it was distorted and affected by another supernatural force when it spread to the vicinity.

"According to the previous headquarters files, the Horror Museum is a Class A paranormal event. Although its overall level of harm is not very high compared to other Class A paranormal events, it is highly mobile, not easy to deal with, and its level of terror is also very high."

Li Jun recalled the archival information records about the horror museum in his mind.

This paranormal event is not a new one; it has been around for a long time but has not been successfully resolved.

At the same time, Li Jun also began to understand Cao Yanhua's idea of ​​having them take up positions in other cities.

Currently, paranormal events are occurring frequently across the country, marking the transition from the initial stage of a paranormal outbreak to a stage of explosive growth.

There is a severe shortage of Ghost Tamers, especially the truly top-tier ones, so it makes sense to send these captains to other cities.
