Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 113 Since that's the case, then you should die!
Li Hui was woken up by a phone call.

2 p.m.

Cao Yanhua, the deputy minister of the Ghost Master Headquarters, suddenly called and woke up Li Hui from his sleep, saying that he wanted to ask him for a favor. A supernatural event had suddenly occurred at the Wanting Hotel. A ghost of the Ghost Master had been resurrected, and the supernatural effects had spread to three floors.

Li Hui immediately refused without hesitation, saying that the person in charge of Dajing City should handle it.

But to everyone's surprise, Cao Yanhua on the other end of the phone said that Gao Ming, the person in charge of handling the incident, had gone missing, and the supernatural influence had spread further, so he was probably already dead. This was a big reason why they were looking for Li Hui.

Because Li Hui was staying at the Wanting Hotel, which was close enough and he was powerful enough, Cao Yanhua wanted him to take a look at Gao Ming's current situation and see if there was any hope for him.

In reality, there are quite a few ghost riders in Dajing City, but most of them are some distance away from the Wanting Hotel. By the time they arrive, Gao Ming will probably already be dead.

This shows that Gao Ming still holds a certain position in the Ghost Riders headquarters.

But it’s no wonder.

After all, to be the head of Dajing City, one not only needs to be strong enough, but more importantly, one needs to pass other assessments. The number of Ghost Tamers at headquarters who meet all these conditions is really not that many.

After some friendly discussion (bargaining) with Cao Yanhua, Li Hui finally accepted the job.

2:03 PM.

The hotel elevator slowly ascended.

Strangely enough, the hotel has been experiencing paranormal events, with three floors already collapsed and affected by the supernatural, but the hotel elevators are still functioning normally.

“根据曹延华之前所提供的情报，受到影响的楼层分别是万庭大酒店的第35层、34层、以及33层这三个楼层，其中35层是源头一开始所在的楼层，剩下的34、33则是随着时间推移才被灵异覆盖的。”

In the elevator.

Li Hui was pondering the information that Cao Yanhua had provided him.

The elevator had already risen to the 19th floor. At this rate, it would soon reach the three floors where the paranormal event had occurred.

At the same time, Li Hui also began preparations.

A grayish aura emanated from his body, or more precisely, from the cell phone tattoo on the back of his hand, quickly filling the entire elevator space.

And that's not all.

Not only in the elevators, but also in the rooms on every floor of the hotel, the buildings, and even outside the hotel, a misty rain of ashes was falling.

The colors in reality were being assimilated, and soon the area around the Wanting Hotel turned completely gray. From a distance, it looked like a hotel that had been painted on.

"What's happening here?"

At this moment, outside the Wanting Hotel.

A dozen or so people of all kinds gathered together. Their expressions were indifferent and their demeanor was strange. Some stood, some squatted, and they noticed the unusual surroundings immediately.

They were all ghost riders from various cities in China. They came to Dajing City for various reasons and then checked into the Wanting Hotel.

"The supernatural power is starting to affect the area outside the hotel. Damn it, this is the power of the Ghost Domain. The supernatural events in the hotel are not simple. The level of danger of the vengeful ghosts with the Ghost Domain is at least B-level, and there is a high probability that they are even A-level. I shouldn't have stayed to watch the show. I should have left directly like Zhang Yu and the others!"

in the crowd.

A young man's expression suddenly changed.

He was clearly aware of his predicament. The hazy ghostly domain not only covered the Wanting Grand Hotel, but also enveloped a large area around it, including the open space where these ghost tamers were located.

Not only that.

Many ghost tamers felt the vengeful spirits they controlled were restless and agitated. This was a reaction to the presence of powerful vengeful spirits in the surrounding area, causing their faces to turn deathly pale. They felt that they were at risk of being attacked by the vengeful spirits at any moment.

When will the Ghost Tamers from headquarters arrive?

Someone asked this question.

Even if they joined forces, it would be difficult for them to escape the Ghost Realm, given their strength.

Therefore, everyone hopes that the other officials in charge of Dajing City will arrive as soon as possible. It would be best if they could handle the paranormal events in the hotel, or at least help them escape.

"As far as I know, there are currently three people in charge in Dajing City. You all know that Gao Ming was arrested earlier, and he has most likely already failed. I heard that the other two are busy with other matters at the moment, and it will probably be difficult for them to get here in a while."

A knowledgeable ghost tamer spoke up.

"Does that mean no one will come to our rescue, and we'll have to rely on ourselves to fend off that vengeful ghost?" The ghost tamer who had asked the question earlier looked even more grim.

"It's more than that."

At this moment, another person spoke up.

"You know, as the person in charge of Dajing City, Gao Ming is at least a ghost tamer who can control two vengeful spirits. The fact that someone like him was defeated in the hotel not only shows that the vengeful spirit in the hotel at the beginning was extremely terrifying, but also shows that there are at least three vengeful spirits in the hotel at the moment..."

Three or more fierce ghosts.

This is a number that would make an ordinary demon tamer feel despair.

Many ghost tamers are powerless to resist even a single vengeful ghost, and now they are facing three or more vengeful ghosts at the same time. This is undoubtedly a terrifying thing, and everyone's already pale faces became even more bloodless at this moment.

At the same time, they were also thinking about something.

Such a terrifying paranormal event has even stumped Gao Ming, one of the leaders of Dajing City. Who else can handle this incident?
at the same time.

Inside the hotel.

As the elevator announced that it had reached its designated floor, the elevator, carrying only Li Hui, came to a safe stop on the 35th floor of the hotel, without any unexpected incidents occurring along the way.

The moment the elevator door opened.

What came into Li Hui's view was an extremely terrifying scene.

The 35th-floor corridor was flooded with water, about 30 centimeters deep, and the water was very murky. In addition, many corpses were floating in the water, at least a dozen upon closer inspection.

The corpses included both men and women, and they were wearing different clothes. Some of the corpses looked like they had only been dead for a couple of days, and their bodies still had blood on them.

Some of the corpses appeared to have been dead for a long time; their bodies were swollen and pale from being soaked in water, and some had even rotted away, emitting a nauseating, pungent odor.

The bodies floated in the murky water, face down and back up, with their hands raised above their heads in a gesture of surrender, or as if ready to be dragged into the water at any moment.

Li Hui, who was already shrouded in the ghostly aura of the entire hotel, knew very well that the seemingly shallow water, only about 30 centimeters deep, actually held a great deal of secrets.

The environment beneath the floodwaters has long since changed. Under the influence of supernatural forces, it is no longer the hotel corridor floor, but an endless abyss with no bottom. If an ordinary person were pulled down, they probably wouldn't even make a ripple.

But Li Hui was not afraid at all.

He stepped directly out of the elevator and onto the flooded stairwell. Strangely, his feet didn't get wet. It seemed as if he was walking through the flooded stairwell, but he was actually walking in his own ghostly realm.

obviously.

The accumulated water, imbued with supernatural power, was clearly insufficient to invade the ghost realm formed by the seventy percent supernatural power of the ghost paintings.

Tatata!
Li Hui walked all the way to the door of room 3513. Throughout the entire process, the dozen or so corpses floating in the water in the corridor remained completely still, as if they were just ordinary corpses.

Then Li Hui stretched out his palm and pushed hard on the door of room 3513, and the door creaked open.

Looking at the door he had pushed open, Li Hui went straight in without any hesitation!

The room's layout was almost identical to Li Hui's previous room, number 2023, with nearly the same decor, but the difference in their condition was vast.

The things in room 3513 looked as if they had been through the ages. The walls were mottled and moldy, damp and covered with moss. In addition, the furniture was rotten and dilapidated, clearly indicating that it had been severely affected by the supernatural.

After taking a quick look around the room, Li Hui turned his attention to the bed.

At this moment, the large, soft bed in the room was also soaked by the murky water, and a figure lay motionless on the bed.

This person's body was soaking wet, like the source of all the murky, stagnant water, the water on his body never seeming to dry out.

Because he had been immersed in water for too long, his skin was deathly pale and bloodless, and his skin was extremely swollen. He had completely changed his appearance and was no longer human!
Meanwhile, there was a large puddle of water on the floor of the room, with countless corpses floating on the surface.

They all seemed to have been dead for a long time. The corpses were all highly decomposed from being soaked in water, and their skin had completely rotted away, leaving only a hideous and terrifying mutilated body.

These corpses all possessed a strong supernatural power, but they were not true vengeful ghosts. Instead, they were more like ghost servants, making them far more terrifying than the corpses in the corridor!
hard to imagine.

The source of this paranormal event—how many people has the vengeful ghost killed? Or perhaps… all of these people were killed by the ghost tamer who controlled it.

"You...you're also...from the Ghost Tamer Headquarters, right?"

Just as Li Hui was taking in all of this, the terrifying-looking figure on the bed suddenly spoke, though his tone was extremely painful and his words were broken and fragmented.

"It's not a vengeful ghost?"

This scene was truly unexpected for Li Hui. Judging from the appearance of this figure, it looked like a corpse that had been dead for a long time, but now it suddenly started to speak.

More importantly, in his perception of the ghost realm, the person in front of him was also a corpse, not a living person.

"No, his body is already dead. He has no characteristics of a living person. He is just not completely unconscious yet."

suddenly.

As if struck by a sudden realization, Li Hui instantly understood the other party's current state.

"Is it in a state of extremes? The body is already dead, and although the consciousness has not completely disappeared at the moment, it is only a matter of time. The final outcome is basically certain once the vengeful ghost has been resurrected to this extent."

Li Hui knew.

The person in the room is still conscious, but it won't last long. This person is on the verge of a vengeful ghost's resurgence; it's just that the ghost inside hasn't fully awakened and taken control of the body yet.

In this situation, the demon tamer can unleash the full power of the vengeful spirit within them, but conversely, they will inevitably die after reaching their limit.

In this extreme state, the demon tamer is almost certainly unable to save themselves, but if other demon tamers can help suppress the vengeful spirit within their bodies, they may still have a chance to survive.

However, the hope of survival is extremely slim; in fact, the chance of surviving is practically zero.

Sure enough, the terrifying figure continued, "Save...save me...If you can save me, I can...let you go. Otherwise, you'll suffer the same fate as everyone else, forever sinking into the...ghost pool!"

The figure's words were always intermittent, and his tone was extremely painful. His words sounded like a roar, as if something was stuck in his throat.

"It's not impossible for me to save you, but first tell me where the ghost tamer who came in looking for you is now, and whether he's dead?"

Li Hui spoke first.

He certainly didn't really want to save the person in front of him; he wanted to know Gao Ming's whereabouts. After all, dealing with this supernatural event and getting Gao Ming out of the way were two different things, and the rewards were completely different.

Previously, his ghostly domain had enveloped the entire hotel, even reaching the deep pool beneath the accumulated water, but he had not found Gao Ming's figure. Now that Jiang Kun, the source of all this, was still alive, he could ask Gao Ming's whereabouts from him.

As Li Hui finished speaking.

The figure spoke with difficulty, a hint of madness in his voice: "That...that person, like you, was from the Ghost Tamer...headquarters, but he couldn't save me, so I sank him...to the bottom of the pool. I don't know if he's alive or dead now. If you...if you dare to lie to me, you'll end up like him!"

"Is that so?"

Li Hui nodded in realization, then said, "Since you don't know whether Gao Ming is alive or dead, and you can't control the supernatural forces within you, then there's no point in living. You might as well die!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Sudden changes occur.

A figure that looked exactly like Li Hui appeared directly beside the bed, and swung down an old woodcutter's knife, aiming at Jiang Kun's body, which was severely swollen and deformed from being soaked in water.

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

The machete looked very old and rusty, but it was like a divine weapon for dismembering the supernatural. It seemed to take almost no effort before the machete directly split Jiang Kun's body on the bed in two.

All of a sudden.

The murky water gushed out.

The stagnant water contained foreign objects and emitted a strong stench of corpses, intertwined with Jiang Kun's blood as it flowed around.
