Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 110 The Terrified Head of Staff
"They really just left like that..."

Seeing that Li Hui's ghost domain made no attempt to conceal itself and simply vanished from the jurisdiction of Da Dong City, stretching out into the distance, Wang Chaling's face showed a hint of surprise.

He was confident that he could not have misjudged the situation.

The direction Li Hui was looking in earlier was precisely where his family's old house was located!
Given Li Hui's ghostly aura that enveloped the entire city, Da Dong City held almost no secrets in his eyes. Therefore, Wang Chaling was well aware that Li Hui had definitely discovered the anomaly in his family's old house.

Even so, the other party left without hesitation, without any covetous thoughts, which left Wang Chaling puzzled and unable to understand the meaning of Li Hui's actions.

The ghost realm invaded in a mighty wave, directly engulfing the entire city. Could this behavior really be just for the sake of getting on the road?

But what ghost tamer would travel in such a hurry?
Using the Ghost Domain to travel is one thing, but acting like he's enjoying himself while traveling, without any panic, as if he's completely unafraid of the resurgence of the vengeful spirits, would someone who has already dealt with the resurgence of their own vengeful spirits not act like this.

Therefore, rather than believing that Li Hui was really on a journey, Wang Chaling was more inclined to believe that Li Hui was looking for something!
Wang Chaling had also noticed the wandering spirits that had been roaming the streets of the city. Judging from their posture, they did seem to be looking for something.

"Forget it, whatever Li Hui's motives may be, as long as he doesn't cause trouble in Dadong City, it has nothing to do with me."

Thinking.

Wang Chaling turned and walked back the way he came, completely indifferent to anything else that was irrelevant to him.

It is worth mentioning that.

The two terrifying black and white figures that had been standing in front of Wang Chaling disappeared after Li Hui left, returning to the black and white family photo in Wang Chaling's arms.

That was a manifestation of the royal family's curse.

The family portrait also includes a photo of Wang Chaling himself, but it's in color. However, as time goes by, the colors are gradually fading, turning into black and white. Although this change seems slow, it is real, proving that the curse on the Wang family continues...

.........

"Did that vengeful ghost leave the city so quickly?"

"As expected, Liu Baimu's earlier judgment was correct. It was just a wandering ghost and would not affect us."

now.

Inside the Wang family mansion, figures lingered. Seeing the ashes that had invaded the second floor of the mansion suddenly disappear, and the city outside returning to normal, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Someone said this.

These people are all ghost controllers, and there are quite a few of them. They have been infected by the supernatural curse of the clock inside the Wang family mansion and are quite famous in the supernatural circle. The organization they formed is called the 'Survival Society'.

At this moment, a white-haired man standing on the third-floor corridor also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly confirming that his guess was indeed correct.

The white-haired man was the 'Liu Baimu' mentioned by the ghost tamer earlier. He held a high position among the ghost tamers and was also one of the strongest among them.

Liu Baimu had heard of the ghost painting incident before and knew some information about it. Therefore, the moment Li Hui's ghost domain enveloped Da Dong City and the supernatural forces invaded the interior of this old house, Liu Baimu realized that the ghost painting incident just happened to pass through Da Dong City at that moment, which is why the previous situation occurred.

at the same time.

the other side.

Having already left Da Dong City, Li Hui was unaware of the current situation within the city. He had arrived in a city called 'Xiao Yuan City'.

This is a city adjacent to Dadong City. Its overall economy is not bad compared to other cities in the country, but it is still much worse than cities like Dadong City and Xiangjiang City.

Perhaps because it is backed by Da Dong City, Xiao Yuan City has only four Ghost Tamers, one of whom is most likely the person in charge of the city.

The reason Li Hui was able to be certain was because the other three were too weak. The vengeful spirits inside them couldn't even cause the most basic agitation. Li Hui hadn't done anything yet; the ashes from the ghost realm simply spread over, and the vengeful spirits inside those three completely fell silent.

The ghost tamer, who was suspected to be the city's head, sensed something unusual, but he couldn't see through Li Hui's ghost domain. The vengeful spirit within his body was frantically issuing warnings.

This situation proves that there is a ghost around him, or that the vengeful ghost he controls is about to awaken. But clearly, the ghost controller believes that his situation belongs to the former, so he stood up warily and went to the window to look outside.

However, given his strength, he was destined not to be able to see through Li Hui's Ghost Domain.

Seventy percent of the ghost paintings are supernatural. At present, there are indeed ghost controllers in China who can see through Li Hui's ghost domain disguise, but their numbers are definitely not many, and this one from Xiaoyuan City is obviously not included.

Li Hui didn't care about this and continued to move forward at a leisurely pace.

In an instant, the ghostly realm enveloped the entire small city, but it did not have any effect on the ordinary people in the city. Only in the dead of night, some strange figures could be seen flashing by on the streets.

They were people dressed in clothing from different eras. Just like in Da Dong City and Xiangjiang City before, Li Hui used this method to allow the group of dead souls to move freely.

To be precise, this will continue for the rest of the trip until we arrive in Okyoto!
Daito City is about 2,000 kilometers away from Daikyo City. Even if you travel in a straight line, you will have to pass through nearly 20 cities.

These cities must contain the hometowns of some of the deceased, so Li Hui is doing them a favor in this way, allowing them to return to their old homes for a look, which is the deepest desire in the hearts of most of the deceased.

For Li Hui, this was just something he did on the spur of the moment. After all, he wasn't in a hurry, and since it was on his way, he didn't mind fulfilling the wishes of some wandering souls.

Most importantly, it was also beneficial to him.

Li Hui is depicting the scenes of these cities to enrich the internal environment of his ghost realm. If this continues, the ghost realm will become a painted world that is a one-to-one replica of the real world, making the ghost realm environment more complex and complete.

Besides.

Li Hui also left behind derivative oil paintings in these cities, imbued with his own ghostly and supernatural elements. These paintings did not contain any vengeful spirits; they were merely blank oil paintings imbued with supernatural power. Furthermore, Li Hui placed them deep underground, making them inaccessible to ordinary people.

His actions were inspired by Yang Jian in the original novel, who left behind lake water imbued with the supernatural power of Ghost Lake, allowing him to instantly reach those places.

Ghost paintings can achieve the same effect.

Any painting or image containing ghostly or supernatural elements can be directly hacked into, so Li Hui is leaving himself a way out.

In the future, whenever he encounters unavoidable circumstances and is unable to leave through normal means, these portraits he left behind will become his escape route, allowing him to escape by hacking into these paintings!

Throughout the rest of the trip, Li Hui continued to repeat the same behavior.

A ghostly realm shrouds a city, leaving behind a blank portrait, moving forward at a leisurely pace, allowing the wandering souls to roam freely...

Along the way, ordinary people were fine and didn't notice anything unusual, but the ghost tamers were quite frightened.

In particular, those city leaders, who basically control two vengeful spirits, have excellent perception and vigilance. When the vengeful spirits within them became restless, they once thought that a supernatural event had occurred in their area.

Even though Li Hui left afterward and the vengeful spirits within them stopped giving warnings, it still couldn't make these leaders lower their guard. Instead, they searched the city in fear, looking for traces of paranormal events.

For the ghost tamers in the nearly twenty cities Li Hui passed through, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, filled with trepidation, fearing that they might suddenly encounter a vengeful ghost.

Until seven in the morning.

Li Hui's reckless use of the Ghost Domain to cover the entire city only slightly subsided, because he had now entered the jurisdiction of Dajing City.

The journey from Xiangjiang City to Dajing City is a distance of over two thousand kilometers but less than three thousand kilometers, passing through more than twenty cities and taking several hours. This is considered very slow for traveling using the Ghost Domain, but it is acceptable for Li Hui because he is not in a hurry.

……

……

Dachang City.

Guanjiang Residential Area.

A ringing phone woke Yang Jian from his sleep. He picked up his satellite phone from the bedside and saw that the caller was his personal operator, Liu Xiaoyu. This made Yang Jian frown and wonder if something had happened in Dachang City again.

While thinking.

Yang Jian pressed the answer button.

Soon, Liu Xiaoyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Her words were concise. After a brief greeting, she stated the purpose of her call: to have Yang Jian attend a meeting of ghost tamers at the city stadium in Dachang City regarding the Starving Ghost incident.

Yang Jian initially wanted to refuse, but after Liu Xiaoyu's persuasion, he finally agreed. After hanging up the phone, he lay down again and closed his eyes to rest.

Yang Jian didn't get up and set off until 8:30.

The meeting was scheduled to start at 9:00 AM. Yang Jian's residential community, Guanjiang, is not far from the city stadium, only about a ten-minute drive away. Therefore, he entered the stadium before 8:50 AM.

There were quite a few ghost tamers participating in this meeting, more than a dozen, but Yang Jian didn't know most of them. Only a few, such as Li Jun and Tong Qian, had been in contact with him before.

After greeting Zhao Jianguo who had just arrived, they walked into the conference room together.

The atmosphere in the conference room seemed quite lively at the moment, with everyone arguing about something. After listening for a few minutes, Yang Jian roughly understood what was going on. It was all about Li Hui, who was codenamed 'Ghost Painting'.

Although everyone had different opinions, without exception, they all acknowledged Li Hui's formidable strength.

This also made Yang Jian realize that the ghost tamer named Li Hui might be even more extraordinary than the information he had heard from Zhao Jianguo before.

It's not easy to gain the collective approval of all the ghost tamers at headquarters. According to Yang Jian's speculation, even if he successfully resurrected the starving ghosts and dealt with them, many people would probably still be dissatisfied. This shows how terrifying the ghost tamer named Li Hui is.

However, what the public did not know was that...

The Li Hui they were referring to had now entered the jurisdiction of Dajing City.

The gray ash spread, and the ghostly domain extended directly to the city center. Then, with a flash of light from the ghostly domain, Li Hui entered the urban area of ​​Dajing City.

After doing all this, Li Hui withdrew his ghost domain directly. Unlike other cities, he did not depict the scene of Dajing City. He also did not allow Yang Xiao and the other dead souls to roam freely. Instead, they were transformed back into a portrait and disappeared along with Li Hui's ghost domain.

Okyo City is different from other cities.

After all, Li Hui could be invincible in other cities, but not in Dajing City, where there was another top remnant of the Republic of China.

Thinking.

Li Hui took out his phone, turned it on, found Cao Yanhua's number, and then dialed it for the first time.

The call was connected soon.

Cao Yanhua's slightly surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Li Hui?"

"it's me."

Li Hui said, "I'm in Dajing City right now, here to collect the compensation for the starving ghost incident in Dachang City. I also want to ask you for a favor. If this is done, I'll owe your headquarters a favor."

"what's up?"

Cao Yanhua, on the other end of the phone, asked curiously, but wasn't particularly curious about the reward Li Hui mentioned. Although Cao Yanhua wasn't sure which supernatural item Li Hui would choose as the reward, the initial agreement was that Li Hui would choose one, but this could be manipulated behind the scenes, depending on whether he wanted to or not.

"I want to see someone."

Without any unnecessary formalities, Li Hui went straight to his purpose: "I want to meet an elder from your Ghost Tamer headquarters!"

To meet an elderly person at headquarters?

Old Qin?
After a two-second pause, Cao Yanhua on the other end of the phone immediately realized that the old man Li Hui wanted to see was no ordinary old man, and that Li Hui was even willing to do him a favor. This showed how much Li Hui valued the old man he was talking about!
Looking across the entire Ghost Tamer Headquarters, there are very few elderly people like this, and since Li Hui is a Ghost Tamer, the most likely candidate is Elder Qin.

Think of this.

Cao Yanhua spoke up, "The person you want to see is Elder Qin, right?"

Although it was a question, the tone was very certain, clearly indicating that Cao Yanhua was absolutely certain that he had not guessed wrong.

Before Li Hui could respond, Cao Yanhua continued, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to discuss it with Elder Qin. Where are you in Dajing City right now? I'll arrange a place for you to stay. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news about meeting with Elder Qin!"

"And the reward for the starving ghost incident in Dachang City, I'll send you a list in a bit. Tell me which supernatural item you've chosen, and I'll have my staff deliver it to you."

As he spoke, Cao Yanhua seemed to realize something. He explained, "The headquarters is too special. No one other than our headquarters personnel is allowed to enter. You've been thinking about this for so long, have you decided whether you want to join our headquarters?"

Hear the words.

After thinking for a moment, Li Hui told Cao Yanhua where he was and gestured for him to arrange a place to stay.

As for joining headquarters...

Li Hui did not give any clear response.

Is today the Ghost Festival? No wonder my doll was giving me a creepy, sinister smile.
