Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 80 Facing the S-Rank Fierce Monster

The gray, ghostly domain covered a vast area, starting from Hongfa Temple and spreading outwards. It not only enveloped several nearby streets but also covered the Seventh Middle School located on the other side of the street.

The environment within the ghost realm was somewhat dim, with paper ash constantly falling, carrying a kind of terrifying eeriness. The dark blue-black haze that had originally enveloped the entire Dachang City was instantly suppressed.

This is the most primal collision between the ghost realms.

The cyan-black ghost domain of the starving ghost was clearly inferior to the ghost painting ghost domain controlled by Li Hui. It had no ability to resist, and the gloom dissipated directly, leaving only a gray expanse.

Even the various stages of ghost infants that were constantly wandering the streets were affected, and their already stiff steps became even slower.

The gray ashes kept falling, and the supernatural power contained within them attacked these ghost infants at various stages.

soon.

Something incredible happened.

The terrifying figures rapidly decayed under the eerie corrosive influence of the paper ash, eventually transforming into a dense mass of dark blue-green energy that vanished on the spot.

Before Li Hui could even make a move, the mere spread of supernatural forces killed the ghost infants spawned from the starving ghosts.

But this is normal.

The falling ashes weren't just eerie from the ghost paintings, but also from the bus itself. The combination of the two was enough to suppress even a real vengeful ghost, let alone this kind of supernatural phenomenon, which resembled a ghost slave.

"However, the killing patterns of these ghost infants are somewhat similar to those of the vengeful ghost in the 'Yijiayuan' residential area of ​​Dahai City. That skeleton ghost has three heads, each different, corresponding to a mouth, ears, and eyes respectively..."

Li Hui appeared on the pedestrian street with a group of ghosts and witnessed the scene of the ghost infants dissipating and dying.

Among the scattered ghost infants are those in the form of babies, children, and young adults, corresponding to the first to the third stage respectively.

The first stage of the ghost infant's killing pattern is seeing, the second stage is touching, and the third stage is hearing.

In a sense, these three patterns of murder are indeed very similar to the vengeful skeleton ghost that Li Hui encountered in Dahai City.

The difference lies in the fact that the skeletal ghost possesses more than three murder patterns simultaneously, while the ghost infant only possesses the patterns of the current stage, and they cannot overlap.

For example, the third-stage ghost infant only possesses the rules of the third stage and does not have the murder patterns of the previous second and first stages.

"Are we going to find the vengeful ghost that caused this paranormal event?"

After all the ghost infants on the street disappeared and died, one of the spirits spoke up to Li Hui, who was at the front, and asked him a question.

Although they live in the world within the painting and can move around in Li Hui's ghost realm, they cannot see through the ghost realm like Li Hui, making the entire ghost realm a part of themselves and perceiving everything that happens within it.

"We don't need to deliberately look for it."

Li Hui responded, "The interaction between supernatural beings is mutual. At the same time I found that vengeful ghost, it also found me. So even if we don't go looking for that vengeful ghost, it will come looking for us."

Tap, tap, tap!

As if to confirm Li Hui's words, a series of dull, stiff footsteps echoed through the alleyways as soon as he finished speaking.

At the end of that alley is a road, and across the road is the north gate of Dachang No. 7 Middle School.

The starving ghost had been wandering around the guardhouse near the North Gate of the school.

As Li Hui's ghost domain spread out and suppressed the hungry ghost's bluish-black ghost domain, it began to 'find' this side.

"Has a vengeful ghost come looking for us? What are its killing patterns?" The group of ghosts instantly became alert upon hearing the footsteps.

This is, after all, an S-level paranormal event.

As Li Hui had previously stated, this paranormal event, codenamed "Hungry Ghost," is classified in the paranormal community at the same level as "Ghost Painting."

They had never heard of the Hungry Ghost incident before, and had no memory of it. However, the Ghost Painting incident was well-known to most of the dead, and even though they had never personally experienced it, they knew how dangerous it was.

So, the starving ghosts, which are on the same level as the ghost paintings, shouldn't be too bad either. What's more, this is a completely new supernatural event for all the dead, and they don't know any of the rules.

"The level of terror of the starving ghosts is extremely high."

Li Hui said, "In my opinion, the upper limit of Ghost Painting is actually far less than that of Starving Ghost, but that is only the upper limit. Starving Ghost has not yet developed, and it cannot compare with Ghost Painting in terms of terror."

talking.

Li Hui began his operation.

A cloud of gray paper ash kept falling from the sky, and soon a second Li Hui appeared on the street, followed by a third, a fourth... and more than a dozen figures appeared in a row.

Every figure was exactly like Li Hui, whether it was their facial features, their physique, or even their clothing.

Besides.

In the hazy, ghostly realm, more than a dozen oil paintings appeared, depicting mottled, old wood-chopping knives.

Then, with a thought, Li Hui caused the eerie oil paintings depicting machetes to float in front of the 'Li Huis', who then reached out and took the machetes from the paintings.

These mottled and old hatchets are not the original Ghost Hacks, but rather supernatural items created by Li Hui based on the Ghost Hacks he took from the Caesar Hotel.

To put it bluntly.

These machetes are made using dye from the water tank as raw material. Although they are not as good as real ghost machetes, they still have the ability to dismember supernatural beings.

Almost at the same time that Li Hui finished making these preparations, a terrifying figure walked down the alley to the street where they were.

The sallow, lifeless face was stiff and numb, and its pair of pupil-less, pitch-black eyes were unusually cold. Its swollen belly resembled that of a woman in her tenth month of pregnancy, forming a stark contrast with its emaciated body.

"Judging from this appearance, it's not bad at all. No wonder it's an S-class supernatural being. This appearance could have stopped children from crying at night in the past."

Upon seeing the starving ghosts appear, a man dressed in old-fashioned clothing among the dead couldn't help but speak up.

Li Hui ignored the man's words, pretending not to hear them, and kept his gaze fixed on the starving ghost, a look of inquiry on his face.

At this moment, the hungry ghost was not actually walking on the streets of the real world, nor was it walking in its own ghost realm; rather, it was walking directly in Li Hui's ghost realm.

Yes.

The hungry ghost wasn't something Li Hui pulled into the ghost domain himself; rather, it invaded on its own, just like the counter-invasion Li Hui encountered when he first arrived in Dachang City and was preparing to have the ghost domain cover him.

This surprised Li Hui.

Given the strength of the ghost realm displayed by the starving ghost, it would be absolutely impossible for it to invade 70% of the ghost painting's supernatural entities. Therefore, the fact that the starving ghost was able to enter its ghost realm at this moment clearly indicates that it did so through other supernatural entities.

The most likely candidate is the Wish Ghost, which is why Li Hui went to Hongfa Temple to retrieve the coffin nails first.

As for whether it is a wish-granting ghost or not, we will soon have the answer.

While thinking.

Li Hui waved his hand in the direction of the starving ghost, and even more paper ash fell from the sky at that moment.

The scene was gloomy and had a chilling atmosphere. It contained the eerie combination of ghost paintings and buses, as if the scene was trying to bury the starving ghost alive in a grave full of paper ash.

However, the starving ghost is clearly different from the various stages of ghost infants that Li Hui had killed before.

As the ashes fell, the old shroud worn by the starving ghost began to dance without wind, carrying an unknown eeriness, as if trying to keep the ashes from falling from the sky.

At first, the ghost shroud did indeed work; the pervasive eeriness prevented the gray ashes from touching the body of the starving ghost.

But as more and more ashes drifted down, and with the continued supernatural collisions, the old shroud began to show signs of being suppressed, and the ashes gradually approached the body of the starving ghost.

A single ghost shroud obviously couldn't withstand the continuous washing of paper ash imbued with the ghostly aura of the bus. Even if the shroud belonged to a vengeful ghost of considerable terror, it was still insufficient against the combined effects of the ghost painting and the bus's supernatural presence.

This was only because the supernatural phenomena on the bus were dispersed; otherwise, if they had faced Li Hui directly, the ghost shroud would have been suppressed instantly.

However, the hungry ghost seemed oblivious to this scene, its dull and stiff steps continuing as it walked towards them.

at the same time.

An attack by hungry ghosts also arrived.

"Snap, snap, snap!"

At that moment, the starving ghost's jaw seemed to dislocate, making a series of cracking sounds.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Li Hui and the others, the hungry ghost's dark blue mouth seemed to be forcibly pried open by something.

A putrid stench spread out, and inside its lips, one could clearly see a crisscrossing array of eerie and terrifying teeth.

Just as the starving ghost opened its mouth, the dozen or so figures on the street who looked exactly like Li Hui began to move.

Their figures disappeared at the same time, but in the next moment, they all reappeared beside the starving ghost, surrounding it.

At the same time, the old, mottled wood-chopping knife in his hand was swung out, slashing at the body of the starving ghost from various angles.

A dozen or so supernatural hatchets with dismembering abilities, even if they are not the real ghost hatchets, are enough to dismember a starving ghost's body into dozens of pieces in an instant if they are used to cut it.

However, Li Hui's offensive was far from over.

As the dozen or so figures swung their woodcutting knives, their other hands reached out without hesitation to grab at the body of the starving ghost.

These figures possess the same supernatural abilities as Li Hui, meaning they also possess the supernatural abilities of the bus.

If this attack were to actually hit, it would be like a dozen weakened versions of supernatural buses crashing into each other simultaneously. Even if the Hungry Ghost were an S-class supernatural being, it would fall into silence under such an intense supernatural collision.

Also.

Another figure, identical to Li Hui, appeared behind the starving ghost. The old wood-chopping knife he held was different from the ones held by the other figures; it looked more realistic, covered in rust and stained with black mud.

This is the real Ghost Cleaver, which Li Hui snatched from Li Qingzhi at the Caesars Hotel.

tread!
The figure stepped on the black footprint left by the starving ghost, which had not yet faded.

moment.

The medium of the old machete was thus triggered.

The image of the starving ghost in the medium came into his view. Without the slightest hesitation, the figure swung the old wood-chopping knife in his hand several times, also intending to dismember the starving ghost's body.

Using a machete is not without its side effects.

The user will suffer the same damage as the attacked person, but this figure is just a supernatural creation of Li Hui, and even if it dies immediately, it will not have any effect on Li Hui.

Therefore, the old machete really had no side effects on Li Hui at this moment.

the other side.

The group of dead souls also took action, their bodies emanating a chilling aura. At this moment, they seemed to have transformed into true vengeful ghosts, using the supernatural power they controlled on the starving ghosts.

now.

The only one who was relatively 'leisurely' on this street was Li Hui himself.

Instead of acting with the crowd, he stood still and quietly watched how things unfolded, like an outsider.

Only the rusty coffin nail he was clutching tightly in his hand suggested that his heart was not at peace at that moment.

This encirclement and attack was now a dead end for the starving ghost, so adding the coffin nail in his hand or not wouldn't make much difference.

Let alone the current starving ghosts, even those who devoured the coffin nails and a portion of Grandma Wang Chaling's supernatural power in the original story, as well as many starving ghosts from the time of the vengeful spirits in Da Dong City, would still be instantly defeated when faced with Li Hui and his group's attack.

To put it bluntly, if the Wish Ghost hadn't possessed the Starving Ghost at this moment, and the Starving Ghost didn't have the ability to restart, then this major paranormal event in Dachang City could have been declared over.

vice versa.

If the hungry ghost possesses the power of the wishing ghost, which allows for a 40-minute rewind, then even if Li Hui drives out the coffin nails, he still won't be able to kill the hungry ghost.

In the original story, Yang Jian succeeded not because his plan was perfect, but because the wishing ghost eventually gave up on the starving ghost.

Li Hui still remembers that in the original story, before Yang Jian nailed the hungry ghost, it clearly reacted, but the departure of the wish ghost made it lose the ability to restart.

"I hope it will succeed," Li Hui thought to himself.

The encirclement and attack by the crowd seemed to have been spaced out for a long time, but in reality, it was all done in an instant.

Under Li Hui's gaze.

A dozen or so supernatural hatchets, a hand imbued with the ghostly aura of a bus, the curse of the ghost hatchets, and the supernatural presence of a group of wandering spirits all attacked the starving ghost almost simultaneously...

However, before these supernatural attacks could even touch the body of the starving ghost.

Then the mutation occurred.

A dim, yellowish light appeared, standing out starkly in this hazy, illusory world. The falling ashes of paper failed to assimilate the dim light.

The dim, yellowish light came from a street lamp next to the starving ghost.

The streetlight, which had been off, suddenly came on, and under its illumination, a tall, indistinct figure appeared beside the starving ghost.

This figure is normally invisible.

However, the strength of the ghost domain controlled by Li Hui was too high, which is why it was revealed.

"The Wish Ghost..."

No need to guess.

The moment Li Hui saw the tall figure under the dim streetlights, he immediately recognized it as the terrifying vengeful ghost that allowed starving ghosts to roam freely.

It is also one of the true sources behind this large-scale paranormal event in Dachang City...
