Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 52 The Return Journey (Seeking First Subscription)

As time went on, the ghostly domain belonging to the Ghost Painting rapidly spread towards California City, as if it wanted to engulf the entire city.

Just as the ghost painting appeared, Li Hui used his ghost domain ability to teleport away. The environment of California City suddenly brightened, and the sunlight that had been blocked by Li Hui's ghost domain shone down.

However, in the next moment, the city of California, which had just regained its brightness, was once again plunged into darkness, as the ghostly realm of the ghost painting completely covered the city.

Cold, gloomy, with ashes floating in the air...

A crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the hazy, ghostly realm. Because of Li Hui's previous actions, too many people in the city had triggered the killing pattern of the vengeful ghost.

Now the vengeful spirit has begun its actions.

"Ah~!"

Soon, screams echoed through the city where ashes were scattered everywhere. There was more than one scream, as if they had witnessed some incomprehensible and horrifying scene. The screams revealed intense fear.

However, the cries abruptly stopped the next moment, as if the owner of the voices did not want to stop, but had been attacked by the vengeful ghost in the painting and could no longer make a sound.

Li Hui, who had already left, was unaware of these matters.

He might have some suspicions in his heart, knowing what the consequences of his actions would be, but he didn't care.

There's a saying that goes, "Those who are not of our people are sure to have different hearts!"
One day in the future, a great war will break out between the East and the West. It will no longer be just a battle within the supernatural world; it will affect the entire global landscape.

That battle was defined as a 'national war,' implying that no one was innocent, not even ordinary citizens...

It was a battle for survival, with no right or wrong, only different perspectives. The winner was naturally right, and the loser was naturally wrong.

This is the prevailing attitude in this world: only the strong have a voice, only the survivors are qualified to discuss right and wrong, and for the dead, right and wrong are obviously no longer important.

Li Hui's current actions are similar; in order to get rid of the ghost painting, he is willing to sacrifice these people from abroad.

From his perspective, this was the right thing to do, and even for the whole of China, it was the right thing to do. It led an S-level paranormal event abroad, preventing a large number of casualties from happening in China due to the ghost painting incident.

It can be said that his actions were a great contribution to China.

If he joins the headquarters of the Ghost Tamers, setting aside his own strength, just by dealing with the impact of this S-class paranormal event, he would be qualified to be nominated for the Captain Project candidate list. Of course, it's just a nomination; whether he will be selected is uncertain.

But conversely...

Li Hui's behavior can be described as outrageous and inhumane to the people of California and even the entire United States!
This is simply a difference in perspective; in the adult world, perspectives matter, not right or wrong.

.........

"It seems my method is indeed effective. The ghost painting has stopped targeting me and has temporarily stopped in that city."

Standing suspended in mid-air at an altitude of ten thousand meters, Li Hui was completely hidden in the depths of the Ghost Realm, gazing into the distance.

From his perspective, he could clearly see the movements of the Ghost Painting Ghost Realm, but he couldn't see through the internal scene of that gray, misty ghost realm.

Seeing that the gray, ghostly realm belonging to the Ghost Painting hadn't moved for a long time, Li Hui knew that his method had worked. By having others trigger the Ghost Painting's killing patterns, he could indeed get rid of the other party's entanglement.

However, Li Hui did not immediately turn back to China. Instead, he continued to control the Ghost Domain and flew towards other cities in the United States.

He planned to do the same in a few other cities to get rid of the ghosts more completely, so that no sooner had he returned to China than the ghosts followed him there.

It's not that Li Hui is particularly patriotic, it's just that he doesn't want to focus too much energy on getting entangled with the ghost painting right now.

Give him some time, and Li Hui is confident he can completely master Ghost Painting; but not now, because he lacks some of the most crucial methods and steps.

Only that cunning old fox Zhang Xianguang knew those methods. Peach Blossom Spring's plan was good, but Zhang Xianguang chose the wrong direction.

"and……"

"Inside the Ghost Post Office, the spirits in those paintings are also a good help. They can only live in paintings, and my Ghost Realm just happens to meet the conditions that allow them to move around..."

Anyone who can successfully deliver all the mail from the Ghost Post Office is no ordinary person.

Even though the spirits in the portraits in the post office only retained a small part of their supernatural power from their previous lives, they were still very powerful. For example, Yang Jian's father was no weaker than most of the new generation of ghost tamers.

While thinking.

Li Hui once again arrived over an unnamed city in the United States.

This city appears even more prosperous than the previous one, with more pedestrians on the streets.

Most of them were foreigners with Western features, but some looked like Asians, though Li Hui couldn't tell which Asian country they were from.

But Li Hui did not change to another city because of this. With a wave of his hands, he created a series of supernatural portraits, which, along with the flying ashes, drifted down to the city below.

The crowds on the city streets noticed the anomaly immediately and looked up at the hazy, illusory world above the city.

At this time.

The oil painting fell.

The woman in red in the portrait was seen by many people in an instant.

The image of a woman whose face was obscured but whose hands were unusually cold and perfectly white involuntarily surfaced in their minds.

The portraits imbued with supernatural power drifted down to every corner of the city; some landed inside buildings, some on the streets, and some even fell directly into the arms of passersby.

Some foreigners, unaware of the situation, even went up to pick up the oil painting and examined it quietly.

But most people aren't stupid; they sensed something was wrong and wanted to escape the scene quickly, causing the city's order to collapse at that moment.

Because the environment was so dark, there were even chain-reaction car accidents on the highway.

After doing all this, Li Hui did not stop, but rushed to the next city. He did the same thing in four or five cities before he had the idea of ​​returning to China.

A hazy, ghostly domain spread out. Li Hui's ghostly domain was fully activated, its range astonishingly large. Then, the ghostly domain spread out, flying towards the eastern horizon at an incredible speed.

He soon crossed the vast ocean.

The urban architecture of China came into his view.
