Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 88 You guys really enjoy bullying the weak with numbers?
The appearance of those kings on the outskirts of Dachang City clearly caught Li Hui's attention, after all, their Western-style appearance and their attire were too distinctive.

same.

Li Hui's actions also attracted the attention of others, and were sensed by several kings the moment they spread through the hazy ghost realm.

Also.

Even Zhao Jianguo, an ordinary person, noticed this. He was startled when he saw the change in the surrounding scenery, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

At this moment, the entire sky outside Dachang City was covered up, and the green mountains and clear waters gradually turned into a gray haze. The colorful world suddenly lost its original colors, leaving only endless gloom.

"Is Li Hui going to make a move too?"

Seeing this, Zhao Jianguo thought to himself.

At the same time, Li Hui's voice rang out in the open space in the suburbs: "Zhao Jianguo, the headquarters should have delivered the scapegoat dolls and other supplies by now. I have successfully resolved the starving ghost incident in Dachang City. Now you can hand over the scapegoat dolls to me."

As the voice faded, Li Hui's figure came into Zhao Jianguo's view.

"The substitute doll has arrived. As for the supernatural items that Minister Cao promised you, you'll have to go to the Ghost Tamer headquarters to get them yourself. I suppose you already know that, and Minister Cao probably told you about it before."

Zhao Jianguo began to speak.

An S-level paranormal event cannot be solved by a few ghost candles and a few substitute dolls. At that time, Cao Yanhua offered Li Hui other things as a reward for his help, which are the paranormal items that Zhao Jianguo mentioned!
"Give me the substitute doll first. As for the supernatural items, I will personally go to Dajing City to ask Cao Yanhua for them."

Li Hui looked at Zhao Jianguo and said.

Although there are quite a few 'fools' in the Ghost Master Headquarters, it's unlikely that Cao Yanhua would renege on his debts, because Li Hui's abilities have already been proven. Handling an S-level supernatural event on his own is something that few Ghost Masters, not to mention in China, could do even in the whole world.

Moreover, the S-level paranormal events that Li Hui has encountered are not limited to the starving ghost.

The ghost painting incident that occurred in Dahai City earlier was also caused by him.

Having experienced two S-level paranormal events in a row, the ghost painting incident was lured away, which was a kind of indirect solution, while the starving ghost was completely imprisoned. Such a record is unique in the current paranormal circle.

If one were to completely offend such a top-tier ghost tamer because of one or two supernatural items, it would definitely be a deal that does more harm than good. I doubt Cao Yanhua would be that foolish.

Even with Qin Lao as a mascot at headquarters, it doesn't mean they can disregard other ghost tamers. If that were the case, Fang Shiming's circle of friends in the original story wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant in Dajing City.

While thinking.

A staff member brought over the items that Li Hui wanted.

It was a suitcase. When Li Hui took the suitcase and opened it, he was shocked to see two red ghost candles, two white ghost candles, and four slightly dirty rag dolls lying inside.

Two of the surrogate dolls were obtained in exchange for solving the human head balloon incident in Z City and using information from the Caesars Hotel. The reward for that incident was two surrogate dolls, two red ghost candles, and one white ghost candle.

The remaining two substitute dolls, along with two red ghost candles and two white ghost candles, were the reward for the starving ghost incident in Dachang City.

In addition to the ghost candle reward Li Hui received for the Z Mountain City incident when he first came to Dachang City, and the red ghost candle and two white ghost candles that were ultimately used as 'peace' fees after his collision with the Ghost Masters at headquarters, Li Hui obtained a total of four substitute dolls, five red ghost candles, and five white ghost candles from the Ghost Masters headquarters.

This is already a considerable fortune.

Looking at all the city leaders in China, few could match Li Hui in the number of ghost candles and substitute dolls, not to mention that headquarters still owed him a supernatural item.

This is normal, though, since all the city leaders are subordinate to headquarters, and their actions are mostly limited to mobilization, with little actual benefit.

Li Hui, on the other hand, is purely an outsider; to get him to take action, one must offer sufficient incentives.

Take the starving ghost incident in Dachang City as an example. Using two substitute dolls, four ghost candles, and a supernatural item to successfully resolve an S-level supernatural incident is a deal that headquarters can't lose out by any measure. After all, Li Hui is not like Yang Jian and others in the original work, and there is no such thing as free labor.

Thinking.

Li Hui's gaze swept past the ghost candle and landed on the surrogate doll inside the briefcase.

The rag dolls were only the size of an adult's palm, and they looked like they were made of dirty old cloth, filled with something unknown, and smelled of rotting corpses.

In addition, six gold needles, each about the thickness of a pencil, were inserted into the limbs, stomach, and head of each of the rag dolls, firmly securing the four rag dolls inside the suitcase.

"Do you need me to tell you how to use the substitute doll?" Zhao Jianguo asked, seeing Li Hui constantly examining the substitute doll in the box.

"No need. This time, my cooperation with your headquarters is considered complete. Only the final payment of your compensation has not been fully settled."

Li Hui glanced at Zhao Jianguo and then said, "By the way, here's one last piece of advice: tell Li Jun and the others not to head that way."

At this moment, his ghost domain not only covered the suburbs outside Dachang City, but also enveloped most of the city.

Nothing within the Ghost Realm could escape Li Hui's perception, including the movements of Li Jun and the other Ghost Tamers.

“Those foreign ghost tamers are not simple. With Li Jun and others at this stage, most of them would just be throwing their lives away. There are only one or two who are truly capable of fighting them. The rest would be of little use and would only cause trouble.”

The words fell.

Without waiting for Zhao Jianguo's response, Li Hui disappeared, leaving only a stunned Zhao Jianguo behind.

But he quickly realized what was happening and took out his phone again, intending to tell Li Jun and the others who were rushing over.

He dialed Wang Xiaoming's number.

At that moment, Wang Xiaoming was with Li Jun and the others. No one knew more about paranormal matters than Wang Xiaoming, so calling him would be more effective than calling Li Jun.

The call was quickly connected, and Wang Xiaoming's voice came from the other end: "Has anything changed in the suburbs?"

Before Zhao Jianguo could speak, Wang Xiaoming asked the question first. With his intelligence, it wasn't hard for him to guess that Zhao Jianguo's phone call was related to the situation outside Dachang City.

"Professor Wang, it's like this..."

Zhao Jianguo quickly repeated Li Hui's words to Wang Xiaoming.

"Okay, I understand." Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoming replied calmly, and then hung up the phone.

"What's wrong, Professor Wang? Has the situation in the suburbs of Dachang City changed?"

One of the ghost tamers tentatively asked, "Could it be that Ye Zhen from the paranormal forum has been killed? Or perhaps, those foreign ghost tamers were killed by Ye Zhen?"

However, Wang Xiaoming did not respond to the ghost tamer's question.

He glanced at the people behind him and then said, "This operation is canceled. Li Jun will come with me to the command post in the suburbs. The rest of you will return to Dachang City to check the situation in the city and see if there are any supernatural remnants."

Just as Wang Xiaoming was assigning tasks to the group of ghost tamers, Li Hui arrived at the hilltop outside the suburbs, where the scene of Ye Zhen's confrontation with the kings became clearer.

"Xiao Li, you're here."

"Great! Quick, let's join forces and keep them all here!"

As soon as Li Hui appeared, he attracted everyone's attention. Ye Zhen's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he invited them to join forces, while the kings' faces were full of vigilance, and they all gathered together.

Hear the words.

Li Hui did not respond immediately, but instead surveyed the scene.

In general.

Ye Zhen was at a disadvantage.

He looked quite disheveled at this moment, with several deep, bone-revealing wounds on his body, shrouded in eerie energy. Even with the supernatural power of the scapegoat, he couldn't immediately take away the injuries caused by these supernatural attacks, which shows how intense the battle was.

Besides.

Ye Zhen's clothes were covered with many marks that exuded a cold aura, such as black handprints and some unknown marks. Even the cloak on his back was torn, and the exquisite longsword he held in his hand had many nicks.

But accordingly.

Several kings also had sword marks on their bodies to varying degrees.

Especially the two girls who looked like porcelain dolls, who were lying motionless on the ground, their bodies shrouded in a cold aura. It was the power of various supernatural curses, which Ye Zhen had used to take the place of the twins when he died in their place, transferring the damage he had suffered to them.

"The missionary, Simon... none of them had the ability to suppress the scapegoat in an instant, which is why the battle has reached a stalemate."

"But this balance is about to be broken. Ye Zhen's injuries are enough to prove this point. The speed at which he is dying in place of others can no longer keep up with the speed at which he himself is being injured."

"If I had been a little slower, Ye Zhen might have been completely suppressed, and even the scapegoat would have fallen into silence."

In just a moment, Li Hui had almost finished analyzing the battle situation.

Then he said to Ye Zhen, "Okay, you deal with that woman and that vagrant, I'll take care of the others."

talking.

Li Hui waved his hand.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery underwent a dramatic change.

Everything in reality seemed to freeze and distort. Then everyone disappeared into the dense forest and appeared directly in a city. However, the kings were separated and placed on different streets in the city. Only Li Hui and Ye Zhen were still standing together.

"Everyone be careful. This is the depths of the ghost realm, a ghostly and eerie place. The environment reflects reality. It looks like we are in a city, but in reality, we have been completely pulled into the ghost realm."

The missionary's expression changed, and he loudly reminded the other kings in the direction they were.

"Don't worry, there are only two of them. Even if the twins are now incapacitated, there are still six of us. What can they possibly do?"

Simon, standing on another empty street, seemed to be comforting himself as he raised his shotgun slightly, his green eyes cold and piercing as he looked in the direction where Li Hui and Ye Zhen were.

"It seems you enjoy ganging up on the weak?" Upon hearing Simon's words, Li Hui's eyes flickered slightly, and then he waved his hand.

As he did this, footsteps began to echo through the city.

Then, one by one, men dressed in casual clothes began to appear in the vicinity, as if they had stepped out of a painting. As time went by, their numbers increased, and these figures, who looked exactly like Li Hui, seemed to be filling the entire city.

"Are you kidding me? This is allowed?"

The gravedigger's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

"Didn't he only control a portion of the ghost painting's supernatural power? How could he achieve this level, making it seem like the complete ghost painting? And even if he is an anomaly, isn't he worried about being corrupted by the supernatural power by using his supernatural abilities so recklessly?"

The missionary's expression suddenly froze. He paused in his movement of turning the pages of the book, then shouted, "Stop him! We can't let this keep piling up, or we might all die here!"

No reminder needed.

Other kings in different parts of the city also realized the danger.

They then began to take action.

The first to make a move was the terrifying woman in the Western-style dress, codenamed 'Lady' in the King's organization. She was closest to Li Hui and was rapidly approaching him at an eerie and unbelievable speed.

"Old woman, your opponent is me!"

However, before she could get close enough, Ye Zhen, who was standing next to Li Hui, went straight to meet her and slashed at the noblewoman's body with the long sword in his hand that was already somewhat damaged.

"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish." The noblewoman, her face contorted with anger, abandoned her attack on Li Hui and instead fixed her gaze on Ye Zhen, shouting loudly:
“I’ll hold Ye Zhen back. You all work together to kill that person. The surrounding figures are just supernatural entities. Once the source is killed, they will naturally disappear.”

After speaking, the noblewoman dodged Ye Zhen's sword and quickly approached him. An eerie aura emanated from her, making her incredibly terrifying, like a real vengeful ghost.

"You think you can hold me back, you old woman?"

"You overestimate yourself a bit. You had a chance of winning when it was seven against one, but now that you're all alone, you're not even qualified to be my opponent!"

Ye Zhen said dismissively.

As he spoke, he abruptly abandoned his sword, instead clenching his right fist and throwing a punch at the terrifying woman in front of him.

A vengeful ghost resides in his hand.

That ghost was quite terrifying; it could knock out a less terrifying ghost with a single punch, rendering it incapacitated and plunging it into silence.

the other side.

The terrifying manor owner was also walking quickly toward where Li Hui was. With each step he took, he left a black footprint that did not fit his size, and unfamiliar footsteps gradually began to appear behind him.

He was special, unlike the other kings. He didn't seem to be completely drawn into Li Hui's ghost realm. He seemed to have a sense of independence, or perhaps the supernatural power he controlled resisted the invasion of Li Hui's ghost realm.
