Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 95 Stop
Under Li Hui's control, the front and rear doors of the supernatural bus parked at the bus stop closed at the same time.

Even though Li Hui wasn't sitting in the driver's seat at the moment, he still had the identity of a driver. This was the connection he had established with the vengeful ghost under the driver's seat when he last controlled the supernatural bus.

Shortly after the doors closed, the ghost bus started moving forward, traveling along the city roads at a very steady, uniform speed.

It's broad daylight, but all the lights on the bus are on, both the aisle lights inside the bus and the exterior lights.

Especially the two headlights at the front of the bus; the dim yellow light of the bus reflected a patch of smog, and within that smog, a small path could be faintly seen.

That path doesn't exist in reality; it's a road in a supernatural space, a manifestation of the bus's supernatural power. The area illuminated by the bus's headlights is where the bus's ghostly realm is located.

The vehicle continued driving, heading directly into the alley. Reality and the supernatural alternated, and the bus began to appear unreal before finally disappearing completely from the city streets.

"We're about to enter a supernatural place."

Li Hui, who had been watching the vehicle's movements closely, understood what this change meant, and then turned his attention to the interior of the carriage.

There weren't many passengers on the bus; besides himself and the driver in the driver's seat, there were only four passengers.

Two of them sat in the seats on either side of the aisle, while the other two sat in the last row of seats on the bus.

Judging from appearance alone.

None of the four passengers were normal.

Especially the two passengers sitting on either side of the aisle in the carriage. One of them was a woman with a slightly ethereal appearance, probably in her thirties, wearing white clothes of indeterminate age. She looked like a projected figure, not real.

The other passenger was even more bizarre.

Its entire body was covered in wounds, as if it had been slashed by some sharp weapon. Most terrifyingly, it had no head; the area above its neck was empty, and its head had disappeared.

The wound on his neck was not smooth, and there were some strange marks left on it. The marks looked like teeth marks, as if someone had bitten his neck off with their teeth.

But this passenger was clearly a vengeful ghost. Ordinary people's teeth could not have bitten off its neck, let alone left such indelible marks on it. Therefore, the owner of those teeth marks could only be another vengeful ghost.

Compared to the two passengers sitting in the aisle, the other two were undoubtedly much more normal.

They were a man wearing a trench coat, with his arms crossed and head down, making it impossible to see his face clearly. He was sitting in the last row of the carriage, on the far right by the window.

The other person was sitting in the last row of the vehicle, on the left side by the window. He was wearing a baseball cap pulled low over his head and a long-sleeved shirt. He was also looking down and leaning against the window.

The two people sat on opposite sides, motionless, like two corpses, appearing somewhat stiff, especially on such a ghostly vehicle, giving off an inexplicable eeriness.

"These looks, this time period... it seems they must be Xu Feng, the street urchin from the original story, and Lin Bei, the bald captain later on."

With just one glance, Li Hui had already defined their identities.

According to the timeline of the original plot, after Yang Jian imprisoned the starving ghost, he would experience the supernatural bus incident. At that time, the Ghost Tamer headquarters said that Xu Feng had been missing for seven days.

Based on the timeline, Xu Feng should be on his second or third day of taking the bus. As for when Lin Bei boarded the bus, it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the original work; at least Li Hui doesn't remember if it was described in the original work.

"According to the description on the human skin paper, five hours after boarding, the bus will stop at a haunted place where a vengeful ghost that is useful to me can greatly increase the feasibility of my subsequent plan."

Li Hui glanced at the time and realized it was only 2:30 pm. He wouldn't arrive at his destination until 7:30 pm, five hours later.

Thinking.

Li Hui casually found an empty seat and sat down.

He did not choose to drive the bus because if he did, the bus route would change, and it would be impossible to determine where it would end up under his control.

It wouldn't matter at other times, but at this moment Li Hui clearly had his own purpose. He needed the bus to take him to an unknown, supernatural place. He didn't know exactly where the place was; it was the human skin paper that had revealed it to him.

that's it.

The bus moved forward smoothly, maintaining a speed of about fifty or sixty miles per hour. At this moment, the vehicle had completely entered the supernatural realm. It was no longer the small path that existed in the ghost realm, but was now traveling on a paved road.

The roadside environment was very dark, which was out of place with the sky at this time of day. It looked like dark clouds covering the sky before a downpour, extremely gloomy and oppressive.

On both sides of the road was a wasteland that stretched as far as the eye could see, with only a few scattered trees of indistinguishable species standing in the wasteland.

The trees had all withered, their leaves gone, leaving only dry branches and trunks. The bark was dark brown, which contrasted sharply with the gloomy and dim surroundings. From a distance, they looked like menacing figures standing in the wasteland.

This highway seems to have no end.

The bus drove on for a long time, and the desolate wasteland on both sides of the road remained unchanged. However, the number of dead trees planted in the wasteland gradually increased.

At first there were only a few scattered trees, but now they are showing signs of forming a row, but this still cannot change the desolate scene.

About twenty minutes later, the landscape of the wasteland had completely changed.

The trees on both sides of the road formed a dense forest, but there was no greenery at all. The trees were still dry and leafless, and their shapes were extremely strange, crooked and twisted, looking quite ferocious and terrifying.

Is the train about to stop?

Just then, Li Hui noticed that the speed of the supernatural bus began to decrease slowly, indicating that the bus was about to stop at a station. He just didn't know whether a passenger was getting off or a vengeful ghost was getting on.

At the same time, he looked ahead through the car window next to him.

In his line of sight, a break appeared in the dense forest ahead, and a winding forest path led into the depths of the forest.

Where the forest path meets the asphalt road, there stands a utility pole with a sign on it, which seems to be a temporary bus stop like those in the old days in the countryside.

The bus then slowed down more and more, and finally stopped next to the temporary bus stop with a screech of brakes.

next moment.

The front and rear doors opened simultaneously.

A chilly aura wafted into the carriage along with the outside breeze, instantly dropping the temperature by several degrees and sending shivers down one's spine.

It was completely silent outside the car.

However, just as the bus doors opened, a figure appeared strangely deep within the forest path. It was a person whose features were obscured, and whose entire body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.

At that moment, the figure was walking towards them with stiff steps.

At the same time, one of the passengers on the bus also began to make a move; it was the vengeful ghost covered in wounds and without a head.

It slowly stood up from its seat and walked towards the back door of the bus, seemingly intending to get off there.

"It seems that at this stop, both vengeful ghosts will be getting on and off the train simultaneously."

Li Hui watched this scene unfold quietly, seemingly without any intention of stopping the headless ghost from getting off the bus or preventing the ghost from getting on.

As for Xu Feng and Lin Bei in the last row of the carriage, they did not react at all. They merely looked up to glance at the general situation before lowering their heads again, as if they were truly two corpses.

Tatata!
Under Li Hui's gaze.

The headless ghost got off the eerie bus through the open back door.

But the moment it stepped off the car, its figure vanished, leaving only a few wisps of gray gas drifting down, their shape resembling the ashes left behind after something had burned.

Yes.

The vengeful ghost was taken into Li Hui's ghost domain, which remained open throughout the entire process.

A huge oil painting, invisible to the naked eye, was erected outside the back door of the bus without anyone noticing. The moment the vengeful ghost stepped out of the back door, it was as if he had stepped into the oil painting.

The Ghost Realm of Ghost Painting is very special. The more fierce ghosts there are in the Ghost Realm, the more dangerous the Ghost Realm will be, and the stronger the supernatural phenomena will be. Li Hui did not deliberately imprison the fierce ghosts, but he did not mind doing such things casually.

Almost at the same time.

The vengeful ghost that emerged from the depths of the forest got into the car.

Li Hui did not attack it. To be precise, he would not make a move against the ghost that got on the bus until he reached his destination.

This is because it's the bus's routine: it sends one ghost after another to specific haunted places!
If he were to imprison the vengeful spirits who were about to board the bus in the same ghost realm, then no one could guarantee that the bus route would not change, because the vengeful spirits that were to be transported would not have boarded the bus, and naturally would not have been transported to any specific haunted place.

.........

After the vengeful ghost boarded the bus, it seemed to be affected by the supernatural phenomenon of the bus, as the mist surrounding its body disappeared, and the ghost's appearance was completely exposed to its eyes.

This was a vengeful ghost resembling a middle-aged man, with a deathly pale face, a vacant stare, and wearing tattered black clothes. After boarding the bus, he found the nearest seat and sat down.

After the ghost sat down, the ghost bus did not close the doors immediately, but waited for about two or three minutes before closing them, and then the bus started moving.

This is also the pattern of the paranormal bus: it stops at paranormal locations, and if there are no accidents, each stop lasts for five minutes.

After the bus started moving, Li Hui's gaze subconsciously swept over a black electronic display screen hanging in the middle of the bus, which showed the number of passengers inside.

At that moment, a line of text composed of red lights floated across the electronic screen: Current passenger count: 3...

at the same time.

the other side.

A figure bathed in sunlight streaked across the sky and entered Dahai City, finally disappearing when the sunlight reached the location of the Pearl Building.

The first thing Ye Zhen did upon returning to Dahai City was to lock himself in the basement, dismissing all his assistants and others who came to see him.

Followed by.

A series of clanging and banging sounds began to emanate from the underground safe house of the Pearl Tower. The sound was somewhat muffled, as if someone was hammering iron, but also like someone was throwing punches, and it was very rhythmic, one after another.

Inside the safe house, Ye Zhen stood alone in front of the workbench, controlling a vengeful ghost with his left hand while unleashing a series of punches with his right.

Under his relentless beating, the ghost's body began to twist and contort. Beneath the ghost lay an exquisite longsword, but with Ye Zhen's blows, the blade of the longsword became pitted and deformed.

It's not hard to see from this posture that Ye Zhen really wanted to forcefully hammer that vengeful ghost into that longsword, thereby creating a supernatural weapon.

However, this is destined to be a huge project, and it cannot be accomplished in a few days; it will take a certain amount of time.

To forcefully hammer a vengeful ghost into a longsword, thus transforming a modern craft into a supernatural weapon, one has to say Ye Zhen has a very imaginative mind.

But he does have the potential to succeed.

Under his relentless pounding, the ghost's body gradually merged into the blade of the longsword. However, the process was extremely slow, and Ye Zhen's hands began to develop wounds due to the constant pounding.

Blood began to gush from his fist, and all five fingers were injured to varying degrees. But in the next moment, the vengeful spirit residing in his hand also began to gradually revive, and the supernatural began to erode his arm and body.

But in the next moment.

A chilling aura emanated from Ye Zhen.

The scapegoat's supernatural power transferred all the wounds on his hands and the side effects of the vengeful ghost's resurgence to him.

Then he continued to pound...

"What's going on?" The commotion in the safe house caught the attention of other members of the paranormal forum, and A-Wu asked the manager standing next to him.

"I am not sure as well."

The manager responded, "After Mr. Ye returned, he went into the safe house and didn't see anyone. Then, this noise came from inside the safe house, and it looked like he was hitting something."

"I'm wondering if Mr. Ye's operation this time didn't go smoothly, so he's using a vengeful ghost as a punching bag to vent his anger?"

……

I have a question. If I get bitten by a puppy and my skin bleeds, is it okay not to get a shot?
