Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 43 Zhang Dong
Instead of stopping at the bus stop by the roadside, Old Qin drove the bus directly towards the old, dilapidated house.

The dim yellow lights converged, illuminating a road in the ghostly realm, passing directly through the forest path, and nothing along the way could stop the eerie bus from moving forward.

As the vehicle drove in, the appearance of the old house became clearer.

The house was a wooden structure, and it was unclear how long it had been built. Several parts of it had collapsed, and it was surrounded by weeds, as if it had been abandoned. Even the paint on the gate had faded and turned grayish-white. It didn't look like anyone had ever lived there.

"crunch~"

But the next moment.

The old house's gate suddenly opened, and a tall figure stood inside, looking over as if attracted by the noise of the bus.

He was an old man wearing a black Zhongshan suit and black cloth shoes.

Although he looked old, with loose skin and his face covered with wrinkles and age spots, his posture was exceptionally straight. Just by standing there, he exuded a kind of awe-inspiring and suffocating majesty, as if no matter how strange or supernatural the power was, it could not cause any trouble in front of him.

The old man's name was Zhang Dong.

He is a ghost tamer who has survived since the Republican era!
Here.

As the eerie bus drew closer to the old house, a strange light flashed in Zhang Dong's eyes, especially when he saw Old Qin sitting in the driver's seat, controlling the vehicle. His astonishment deepened.

He never expected to see an old friend at this time, especially in this way, which surprised him somewhat.

at the same time.

Under Qin Lao's control, the supernatural bus drove directly to the front of the old house and stopped in the open space in front of the gate.

As soon as the door opened, before Old Qin could even get out of the car, Zhang Dong, who was standing inside the gate of the old house, spoke first.

"I thought you'd never drive again. Is there something you need from me this time?"

His tone was calm and authoritative, and he had no intention of reminiscing. He went straight to the point and asked about Old Qin's purpose.

"I'm contacting you this time because of a young man. He's special; he's an outsider, not part of my original plan, and he's a variable."

Old Qin, leaning on his cane, slowly stepped off the supernatural bus and walked towards the old house, continuing to speak as he went:

"I've spoken with my future self. His existence has drastically changed the future, making it completely different from the future I knew before. Many of my previous plans are now useless..."

"A variable that shouldn't exist should disappear from this world." Zhang Dong stated his opinion calmly, deciding someone's life or death with a single sentence.

For the sake of so-called hope for the future, and to pave the way for a special person, they began planning and laying the groundwork decades ago, ultimately sacrificing a great deal to encompass everything in the future.

Even the reason why he chose to locate his old house here has a profound meaning.

This location was chosen decades ago, not only to suppress the vengeful spirits of this haunted place, but also to await the fall of some supernatural being from the future.

It was a vengeful ghost born from a special ghost ship, possessing the supernatural power of hundreds or even thousands of vengeful ghosts within its body, and intelligence no less than that of humans. One day in the future, it will fall into the courtyard of this ancient house.

Zhang Dong had also boarded that ghost ship years ago, but he did not choose to deal with it.

It's not that it's impossible, but rather that it's paving the way for a special person in the future, as mentioned by Old Qin!

This is a paranormal event that was predicted to happen decades ago, and its outcome was also predetermined decades ago.

only……

If nothing unexpected happens, he should have already died by then.

But it is not important.

Zhang Dong had already made preparations for his funeral. After his death, the vengeful ghost he transformed into would continue to guard this supernatural place. Whether it was a vengeful ghost that entered from the outside world or a supernatural phenomenon that already existed here, it would all be suppressed by him!

It wasn't just Zhang Dong himself.

The other six people in his team—Meng Xiaodong, Zhang Youhong, Li Qingzhi, Luo Qian, Zhang Bohua, and Luo Wensong—each had their own corresponding arrangements!
However, only Zhang Dong and Old Qin truly knew about this plan.

The more people know, the greater the variables become. Therefore, the only real players from beginning to end are the two of them. The rest, even Zhang Dong's six teammates, are just pieces.

But after all that he had sacrificed, Old Qin suddenly came over and told him that the future had changed and an outsider had appeared, which instantly made Zhang Dong want to kill him.

In his view, it wasn't a big deal for some people to die so that the supernatural era could be successfully ended, especially for those of them who had lived through that chaotic time...

"Kill him? That was indeed my initial thought," Old Qin said.

But soon.

Zhang Dong interrupted him.

"However, you didn't do that. Instead, you chose to drive the bus to find me. No matter how capable a young man is, he can't leave you helpless."

Zhang Dong looked at Old Qin and continued, "This shows that although that young man is a variable and will greatly affect the future, this change may develop in a positive direction."

"really……"

After a moment of contemplation, Old Qin said, "The future is never constant; it has countless possibilities. Because of his appearance, five of the greatest possibilities for the future have emerged in my knowledge."

"Of these, four of the effects he caused were bad, making future paranormal events completely uncontrollable, but there was also one good one."

"But this concerns you..."

“In him, I see another possibility for ending the paranormal era, different from the person I chose. Moreover, their paths are different. As long as one of them succeeds, the paranormal era will be ended!”

"..."

As he spoke, Old Qin approached, and the two of them entered the old house together. During this time, Old Qin kept talking, telling Zhang Dong the results he knew from communicating with the future.

Zhang Dong listened quietly without rushing to express his opinion.

.........

at the same time.

Ghost painting world.

Ye Zhen kicked open the church door and walked out.

The supernatural power in the church has dissipated, and the evil spirit has been suppressed and imprisoned by him. Moreover, he has gained other things in the church.

Now, Ye Zhen was no longer wearing the sneakers covered in anime patterns, but a pair of leather shoes.

These leather shoes were taken from the vengeful ghost inside the church; they are a supernatural item with all sorts of magical abilities.
