Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 84 Parchment: When you see...

Those figures, which resembled condensed black mist, stood upside down in the field, motionless, as if influenced by some kind of rule.

This situation is clearly abnormal.

According to the woman who spoke earlier, people who are standing normally will trigger the killing patterns of vengeful ghosts. However, Li Hui and all the other ghosts were standing, yet they were not targeted by the vengeful ghosts.

"Is it because of the distance or something else?"

After observing, Li Hui discovered that the nearest strange figure was about five or six meters away from him, while most of the other figures were upside down in the fields near the old house, surrounding it.

"Creak!"

As Li Hui continued to look around, the door of the old house opened with a sound, and a figure came into Li Hui's view.

That's an old man.

Like the figures in the field, he was upside down, head down. The only difference was that this old man appeared extremely real, quite different from the blurry figures that resembled black mist.

The old man's eyes were closed, as if he were asleep. His exposed skin was a grayish-brown color, extremely loose, and covered with wrinkles and age spots.

"Ok?"

suddenly.

Li Hui sensed something was wrong.

The old man's appearance seemed to have caused some kind of rule to change, and all the strange figures in the field turned around and faced Li Hui.

At the same time, Li Hui clearly felt many cold and eerie gazes fixed on him.

"Are the vengeful spirits around me starting to target me?"

Li Hui was no stranger to this situation. The only thing that puzzled him was that he shouldn't have triggered the vengeful ghost's killing pattern, unless the woman from before was lying...

But that doesn't matter.

Li Hui had no intention of getting entangled with the vengeful spirits of this haunted place. The reason he chose to stand upside down and observe before leaving was that he did not want the vengeful spirits in the old house to leave with him and invade the real world.

While thinking.

A hazy cloud of ashes drifted by, and Li Hui's figure vanished from the spot in an instant. At the same time, the barrier between the supernatural realm and the real world was restored, separating the two spaces.

After Li Hui's figure disappeared, the figures in the field seemed to have lost their target and returned to their original state.

The old man who had been standing upside down in front of the house retreated back into the darkness behind him. The door slammed shut instantly, the loud crash of the door hitting the frame echoing around and breaking the deathly silence.

at the same time.

real world.

Under the command of Zhao Jianguo, the rescue personnel dispatched by the Ghost Riders headquarters began to enter Dachang City one after another.

Large vehicles loaded with various relief supplies began to travel in an orderly manner on the main roads of the city.

Behind these vehicles followed many staff members, all surveying the city's interior. Those with search and rescue missions observed more closely, their faces revealing undisguised vigilance.

Even though Li Jun and his group of ghost tamers had entered Dachang City ahead of time and had preliminarily confirmed that the vengeful ghost had been imprisoned, this did not mean that their rescue work was necessarily safe. There was no guarantee that there might still be ghost infants left behind in some corner.

This is not unprecedented.

Similar incidents have occurred in other cities. The vengeful spirit that was the source of the paranormal events was imprisoned by the person in charge, but during the follow-up process, the staff were attacked by ghost slaves, which were corpses with supernatural powers.

Although the ghost slaves were not true vengeful spirits, they could still be fatal to ordinary people. As a result, the cleanup operation resulted in several casualties, which was a bloody lesson for everyone, making them wary. Moreover, this time, the incident in Dachang City was an S-level paranormal event.

at the same time.

Led by Li Jun, a group of more than a dozen people arrived in front of an unfinished villa in Guanjiang Community, Dachang City. The area around the unfinished villa was littered with scattered building materials.

It's hard to imagine that beneath such an unassuming villa lies a secret underground chamber made entirely of pure gold.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming and the others were inside that underground safe house.

"Professor Wang, we've arrived." Li Jun said to the satellite positioning phone in his hand, which had already been connected, and gestured for the other party to come out of the safe house.

Not long after he finished speaking, a dull sound came from the unfinished villa in front, as if a heavy door had been pushed open.

Then, a dozen or so figures emerged from the villa's underground passage.

Leading the group were two special security personnel armed with live ammunition, followed by Wang Xiaoming, Jiang Yan, Zhang Wei, and others.

The group looked extremely disheveled, as if they hadn't rested for a long time. Their eyes were bloodshot, their expressions were haggard, and their bodies were filthy.

"Professor Wang, are you alright?"

See this.

Li Jun immediately went to greet him.

"Tell me about the situation in Dachang City." Although Wang Xiaoming was not in good spirits and looked a little tired, he did not choose to find a place to rest immediately. Instead, he asked Li Jun about the situation in Dachang City.

"The general situation is just as I told you on the phone before. The headquarters has hired an outside helper named Li Hui."

Li Jun continued, "He is very strong. He has mastered the supernatural power of the Ghost Painting. The Ghost Domain of the Hungry Ghost cannot stop him at all. Shortly after Li Hui entered Dachang City, the gloom that shrouded the city dissipated."

"Then we entered the city. After a preliminary investigation, we found no trace of the starving ghost in the city. Li Hui also disappeared along with it. Captain Zhao guessed that Li Hui had left with the imprisoned vengeful ghost."

"Do you have detailed information about Li Hui?" Wang Xiaoming asked after listening to Li Jun's account.

Li Hui's ability to successfully handle the starving ghost incident in a very short time, and also to control another S-level supernatural source, Ghost Painting, clearly aroused Wang Xiaoming's intense curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Li Jun said, "Captain Zhao seems to know some personal information about Li Hui. What do you think we should do...?"

However, before Li Jun could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had sensed something. He turned around abruptly and looked towards a certain place in Dachang City.

Then the other ghost tamers present also made the same movements.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming looked in the same direction as Li Jun and the others.

A gray haze appeared over the city not far away. Everything in reality seemed to be assimilated after coming into contact with that grayness, its original colors fading away and turning into a gray expanse as well.

That's the location of Dachang No. 7 Middle School.

Wang Xiaoming's eyes flickered slightly as he recognized the location where the dark patch of light had appeared.

He had already memorized the terrain of Dachang City, and had even studied a ghost baby with Yang Jian, hoping to find the true source of the evil spirit through that ghost baby.

The results of the study can be considered both a success and a failure.

They did find the source of the evil spirit, but the evil spirit also found them, even invading Yang Jian's ghost realm, causing the supernatural event to completely spiral out of control.

"That's... a ghostly drawing?"

After taking a careful look, Wang Xiaoming recognized the gray, ghostly realm. The scene of paper ash floating everywhere was too identifiable and too obvious.

"Is it the ghost realm of Li Hui that Li Jun mentioned, or has some unknown event occurred in Dachang City that attracted the real ghost painting?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Wang Xiaoming's eyes.

If it's the former, he's curious about the significance of Li Hui's opening of the Ghost Domain since the vengeful ghost has already been imprisoned. If it's the latter, it means that Dachang City is very likely to experience a second S-level supernatural event.

"It's spreading this way."

Under the watchful eyes of Wang Xiaoming and others.

The hazy, ghostly domain spread outwards at an incredible speed, with ashes from paper falling continuously from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the entire city of Dachang was covered by this ghostly domain.

"Everyone be careful, something's not right."

Li Jun said warily, "If this is Li Hui's ghost domain, he will definitely selectively cover it. It's impossible for him to cover the entire Dachang City. This would be an unimaginable drain on any ghost tamer, especially since the vengeful ghost has already been imprisoned."

"Could it be that Li Hui is already dead, and the vengeful spirit within him is starting to revive and cause trouble?" one of the ghost tamers said.

"The Hungry Ghost is, after all, an S-class supernatural entity. Even though Li Hui is very strong, it would be difficult for him to handle this incident on his own. It is possible that he paid a huge price, causing himself to reach his limit and the vengeful ghost to revive."

But the more he spoke, the weaker and weaker the ghost tamer's voice became.

Previously, in the suburbs of Dachang City, Li Hui's physical condition was obvious to everyone; it was exceptionally good, no different from that of an ordinary person.

Furthermore, the way Li Hui casually used supernatural powers, as if he had already solved the problem of his own vengeful spirit's resurgence, makes it hard for even himself to believe that he suddenly died from the resurgence of a vengeful spirit.

"Perhaps he's looking for something." Wang Xiaoming spoke up at this moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he looked at the rain of paper ash falling around him.

This ghost realm is incredibly vast; no wonder Li Hui was able to ignore the ghost realm barrier of the starving ghosts and enter Dachang City directly.

Yes.

If he wasn't sure before whether this hazy world was Li Hui's ghost realm or a real ghost painting that had been lured here, now Wang Xiaoming was 70% certain that the owner of this ghost realm was Li Hui.

"The ghost realm covers the entire city, just to find something? Is that true?" a ghost tamer asked with a look of surprise and doubt.

But Wang Xiaoming only glanced at him and did not respond; instead, he fell into thought.

"With such a grand display, if Li Hui is really looking for something, it must be an extremely important object. Could it be related to Yang Jian's strange hanging?"

Wang Xiaoming glanced at his right hand.

He held a cell phone in his hand, which had long since run out of battery and shut down, but the images that had appeared on the phone were still deeply stimulating Wang Xiaoming's brain.

He could tell that Yang Jian wanted to use the collision of rules between vengeful spirits to create a special anomaly. However, Wang Xiaoming still couldn't figure out the principle behind it, mainly because he couldn't understand how Yang Jian would eventually be resurrected.

Based on the content of the video at the time, Wang Xiaoming was 100% certain that Yang Jian was really dead, and even his body was already cold...

"Zhang Wei!"

However, just as Wang Xiaoming was deep in thought, a loud shout came from behind him. Wang Xiaoming was familiar with the owner of the voice, a real estate businessman named Zhang Xiangui.

"What's going on?" On the other side, Li Jun and the others, who heard the commotion, immediately looked behind Wang Xiaoming.

"One person is missing."

Li Jun's observation was undeniably meticulous. With just a glance, he noticed the anomaly: someone was missing from the crowd behind Wang Xiaoming. Li Jun even recalled the man's appearance and physical characteristics—a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Did Li Hui use the Ghost Domain to take that man away?" Li Jun and the others roughly deduced what had happened in their minds.

The ability to suddenly and silently take a living person away right under their noses is something only the Ghost Domain could accomplish. Currently, only Li Hui's Ghost Domain covers Dachang City, so this is not hard to guess.

Li Jun and the others just couldn't understand Li Hui's purpose in doing this.

They had previously observed the group behind Wang Xiaoming and were certain that Zhang Xiangui and the others were all ordinary people without any supernatural traces in their bodies. However, they couldn't understand why such ordinary people could attract the attention of a powerful ghost tamer like Li Hui.

at the same time.

On the playground of Dachang No. 7 Middle School.

Looking at the suddenly changed environment and Li Hui and the others not far away, Zhang Wei asked, "Who...who are you? What do you want with me here?"

“Let me tell you, my family is actually very poor, and my dad has a bunch of illegitimate children outside, so kidnapping me won’t get you any ransom at all. So I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible.”

As he spoke, Zhang Wei's hand seemed to casually slip into his pocket, which was clearly bulging, as if it contained something.

Having read the original novel, Li Hui knew very well that Zhang Wei was carrying two gold-plated pistols with him at this time.

"If I were you, I definitely wouldn't touch those two pistols. After all, you've experienced more than one paranormal event, so you should know that pistols have no effect on paranormal phenomena."

Li Hui's voice rang out, and he continued, "I have no ill intentions towards you; I just want to borrow something from you to take a look."

"what?"

Zhang Wei was curious.

"The small golden box that Yang Jian entrusted to you for safekeeping is of some use to me. I'll return it to you after I've looked at it," Li Hui said.

"What are you talking about? The things Brother Leg entrusted to me for safekeeping aren't something you can just look at as you please. Let me tell you, you'd better not get any funny ideas. Brother Leg... eh? Why are you so sleepy..."

thump!
Before Zhang Wei could finish speaking, he suddenly collapsed onto the ground of the playground, and Yang Xiao's figure slowly appeared behind him.

Seeing this, Li Hui was not surprised. He stepped forward and took a gold box from Zhang Wei's arms. He then opened the box forcefully, revealing a brown leather paper inside. Li Hui then unfolded the paper.

"My name is Yang Jian. By the time you see this, I will already be dead..."

After the parchment was opened, the first thing Li Hui saw was this sentence, but soon the writing on the parchment changed again. The original writing disappeared quickly, and new writing gradually appeared.

"........."

The book's title is "Miss Witch, Please Behave Yourself".

[Recommendation]: The original title was "The Taste of a Witch Is Really Good," but I sent it to you for special reasons.

Formal recommendation: What's it like to marry a witch right after transmigrating?
Roy remarked, "The taste of a witch is really good."
