Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 127 Methods of Locking and Restarting

"Ok?"

"This is?"

Upon seeing the figure that appeared out of nowhere in the cockpit and looked exactly like Li Hui, Yang Jian's expression suddenly changed, a hint of doubt appearing on his face, and a look of inquiry in his eyes.

He had never seen this ability in any other ghost tamer before; it was similar to the ability to create an avatar in movies and TV shows.

Although the Ghost Eye he was controlling had already gone silent and he had lost the Ghost Eye's perspective, Yang Jian could still sense that the figure was almost identical to Li Hui beside him. Not only were their appearances the same, but even the supernatural power they controlled seemed to be no different.

And there's the wood-chopping knife in the figure's hand.

Although it looked extremely old and covered in rust, Yang Jian knew very well that it must be an extremely powerful supernatural object.

Also.

On the blade of the old woodcutter's knife, there were some dried black liquids, which looked like old blood and exuded a cold aura. Obviously, the blood was not from an ordinary person, but from a vengeful ghost.

"A wood-chopping knife... that has been used to kill vengeful ghosts?"

Yang Jian's pupils contracted slightly.

He had encountered similar items before, such as the eerie space connected to the toilets at No. 7 Middle School, where there was an ancient tree with white bones, and a terrifying ghost was sealed on it.

The object used to seal the vengeful ghost was a coffin nail that was also covered in rust. The rust was the same as that on the woodcutter's knife in the figure's hand, giving it a strange and eerie feel. Yang Jian obtained the Ghost Eye he controlled in that secret room, and it was also the first vengeful ghost he controlled!
"It seems there are many similar supernatural items, like ghost candles, which are also considered supernatural items, but they are consumables..."

Yang Jian's mind raced.

However, before he could be too curious,

New changes have occurred inside the cockpit.

Shortly after the first eerie figure wielding an old woodcutter's knife appeared, a second, a third... figure followed. Each figure looked exactly like Li Hui, and even their eerie aura was identical.

"Are you kidding me? Can a living person really control such supernatural power?"

See this.

Yang Jian's eyes widened in shock; he was astonished by the ability Li Hui had displayed.

Doesn't this mean that he doesn't even need to face the vengeful ghost in person, but only needs to use the human figures generated by this supernatural phenomenon?

Moreover, this ability can be used not only to deal with vengeful ghosts, but also to deal with other ghost tamers. Yang Jian even imagined countless Li Huis attacking one person at the same time.

Most importantly, using this terrifying supernatural ability seemed to have no effect on Li Hui himself.

Yang Jian glanced sideways and noticed that Li Hui had a cold expression and was in surprisingly good physical condition. The appearance of those figures seemed to be just a normal manifestation of supernatural phenomena.

"He's really a terrifying person. No wonder he was able to successfully handle an S-level supernatural event like the Hungry Ghost. Is this the true strength of a top-tier ghost tamer?"

Yang Jian made a comparison in his mind and found that none of the ghost tamers he knew could compare to Li Hui, and this seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg of Li Hui's abilities.

the other side.

Li Hui was unaware of Yang Jian's inner thoughts, but even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Although Yang Jian has become somewhat of an anomaly due to his successful suicide attempt, he is still far stronger than his current self, not to mention even Fang Shiming in his circle of friends.

At the same time, the figure's actions began.

Because they shared the same supernatural abilities, the figures were naturally able to teleport within Li Hui's ghost realm. They appeared beside the Wish Ghost at the same time and launched an attack on it.

The first figure to appear raised an old wood-chopping knife high and reached out to grab the wishing ghost's body, attempting to trigger the knife's curse in this way.

As for the coffin nails, Li Hui did not use them because there was no need. Those things were a suppressive artifact for vengeful ghosts with physical bodies, but they were nothing to vengeful ghosts without physical bodies.

At this moment, all the other figures also reached out to grab the wishing ghost. They exuded a cold aura, seemingly no different from real vengeful ghosts. There was a supernatural power emanating from their palms, which belonged to the supernatural power of the bus.

Almost at the same time.

The wish-granting ghost began to react.

A strange, chilling aura emerged, and the ashes floating around its body seemed to lessen. The ghostly aura surrounding its body was distorted, and at the same time, eerie and cold figures appeared.

Among these figures were men and women, young and old, and many of them were people Yang Jian recognized, such as Zhao Kaiming. However, Zhao Kaiming was clearly not alive at this moment. His body was somewhat illusory, his face was dull, and his eyes were lifeless, just like a puppet that could be manipulated at will.

Then these people also reached out and grabbed at the ghostly figures that were exactly like Li Hui, which were derived from the strange drawings.
Judging from their posture, they seemed to be trying to stop the group of 'Li Hui' from attacking the Wish Ghost, but their obstruction was doomed to failure.

All of the 'Li Hui' characters possess the ability to ride a supernatural bus.

The moment the figures beside the Wish Ghost reached out to grab them, it was as if they were colliding with a moving supernatural bus. The moment they made contact, their figures all vanished. However, Li Hui's attack was not affected in the slightest and continued to grab at the Wish Ghost's body.

"Is this the end of the story?"

Yang Jian watched this scene unfold with his eyes fixed on it.

The strange collision between the figures just now also surprised him. Those figures, just like Li Hui, did nothing but reach out to grab the ghosts, and the ghosts vanished the moment they made contact with them.

In Yang Jian's view, there is only one possible reason why this outcome would occur.

That is because the gap between the two sides was too great. The supernatural power possessed by those figures was far beyond what Zhao Kaiming and the other ghost figures could resist. That's why the situation became one-sided the moment they came into contact, and the group of ghost figures instantly disintegrated.

Under Yang Jian's watchful gaze.

The hands of the group of figures were about to touch the ghost's body when, at the same time, the old woodcutter's knife in the hand of the first figure swung down toward the ghost's head.

However, at this critical moment.

Yang Jian felt his vision suddenly blur for a moment, and his thoughts paused for a second, but he quickly recovered.

"What's happening here?"

Yang Jian, whose thoughts had returned to normal, was stunned for a moment, but was quickly bewildered by the scene before him.

He was the only person in the cockpit of the plane, and all that was there was the sight of ashes floating in the air. The vengeful ghost was still standing in the same spot, with the corpses of the two pilots beside it. However, the figures who attacked the vengeful ghost, as well as Li Hui, had all disappeared, as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion.

Also worth mentioning.

The corpse of Luo Feng, which had been lying on the ground in front of Yang Jian, was now standing back where he had started. The headless ghost was now covering the corpse, but the vengeful spirit inside Luo Feng had disappeared and had been imprisoned in the golden container by Yang Jian.

"How can this be……"

Upon seeing the scene before him, Yang Jian's expression changed drastically.

This scene was exactly like when he had just entered the cockpit from the economy class of the passenger plane, and when he had just suppressed the evil spirit inside Luo Feng.

"Could time travel really exist? But how is that possible? How could supernatural forces achieve such a thing?"

"Furthermore, if it really is time reversal, why didn't the vengeful spirit inside Luo Feng return to his body along with him, but instead remained in the gold foil bag?"

"Wait, the supernatural, gold..."

Sudden.

Yang Jian thought of the law that supernatural powers cannot affect gold.

"So, just when the vengeful ghost was about to be suppressed by Li Hui, an unknown change occurred, causing time to reverse and everything to restart, except for the vengeful ghost inside Luo Feng, because the supernatural power could not affect the gold?"

For a while.

Yang Jian felt his worldview collapse. He had never imagined that supernatural power could do this.

"If this ability truly belongs to that vengeful ghost, then who else could possibly imprison it?"

"This ability to restart time is enough to overturn any outcome. It was destined from the beginning to be unable to be imprisoned, because when it is to be imprisoned, time will be restarted, and everything that happens in the meantime will be reversed..."

After realizing this, Yang Jian was filled with horror.

But then, as if remembering something, he quickly looked to his side, simultaneously withdrawing the headless ghostly figure that had been covering Luo Feng's corpse, and muttered:

"If it's really as I think, and this is indeed a time restart, then it means Li Hui will reappear very soon."

The words have not yet fallen.

The surrounding environment began to change.

The already hazy, gray ash from the paper dust drifted around, becoming even denser, and then Li Hui's figure appeared in the cockpit.

really!

the other side.

Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly as he looked at Li Hui, who had reappeared, but he didn't speak. Instead, he wanted to know how Li Hui would handle the current situation.

At this moment, Li Hui's expression remained cold and stern. In Yang Jian's eyes, this expression made him feel that Li Hui did not seem to find the current situation troublesome and was still confident in dealing with the vengeful ghost.

And that is indeed the case.

Just now.

Because of the Wish Ghost's restart, Li Hui, who returned to the outside of the plane, discovered that the restart time this time was not forty minutes as in the original story, but fifteen minutes.

This situation was clearly not caused by the wish ghost's deliberate control, but rather by the influence of surrounding supernatural phenomena on its restart.

This also made Li Hui realize a problem that he had previously overlooked.

That is the essence of the supernatural.

Whether it's a supernatural curse, a ghost realm, or a reboot, they are all manifestations of the supernatural. However, supernatural forces can influence each other, just like the result of two ghost realms colliding.

Ultimately, the clash between the supernatural depends on the degree of terror on both sides, which boils down to the strength of the supernatural forces.

If one's supernatural power is high enough, then even the ability to restart can be blocked or even completely ineffective. Zhang Dong is the most representative example of this.

"The Wish Ghost restarted for fifteen minutes, which only means that the supernatural power I displayed this time was not strong enough, and the impact on its restarting ability was not deep enough. Otherwise, the restarting time would be even shorter, or it might even be completely blocked and unable to restart normally!"

Think of this.

Li Hui launched another operation.

His hands began to wave incessantly, as if he were drawing something in the air, and then the surrounding environment instantly changed.

The already cramped cockpit seemed to expand infinitely at this moment, and then many supernatural phenomena began to appear that Yang Jian could not understand.

Those were shimmering images.

The screen showed modern cities, and although the flashing was very fast, Yang Jian still saw many completely different city projections, including Chinese cities and European-style towns.

There are vengeful ghosts in those cities, and in some cities there are even more than one vengeful ghost.

Then, figures began to appear in the cockpit. Among them were figures who wore the same clothes and looked the same as Li Hui, as well as some figures that looked extremely strange.

Yes.

It's just weird.

They were people dressed in clothes from different eras. Among them were men and women, the elderly, the middle-aged, and the young. One of them, a young man in his early twenties, caught Yang Jian's attention.

Because the person's appearance was seven or eight parts similar to his own, only slightly different in terms of temperament.

"you……"

Upon seeing the man who had appeared, Yang Jian's gaze shifted slightly, and he had a vague guess in his mind.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of that strange newspaper ghost. Although the other party had altered Yang Jian's memories, it didn't seem to have caused him any real harm. It just made him recognize a vengeful ghost as his father for no reason.

But if we think about it more deeply, could that vengeful ghost also be protecting him in some way?
So... my father might not be as simple as he seems on the surface. He might be a ghost tamer, and the cause of his death is yet to be investigated?

At this moment, Yang Jian thought about many things.

But if that's the case, wouldn't it mean that Li Hui has brought back his father from when he was young?

For a while.

Yang Jian's face was as black as charcoal.

However, Li Hui ignored his thoughts and continued to busy himself with his arrangements. Even Yang Xiao only gave Yang Jian a few deep looks, scrutinizing him, but did not intend to communicate. Instead, he turned his attention to the wishing ghost on the other side.

I can tell.

This time, Li Hui wanted to deal with that vengeful ghost whose appearance he couldn't see clearly.

As time went on, the surrounding environment became increasingly complex.

One after another, oil paintings taller than a person appeared, surrounding the wishing ghost. The paintings depicted different scenes, but they all had one thing in common: a dark and eerie style, with a supernatural atmosphere spreading within them.

Besides.

The projections of modern cities intertwined and overlapped, and the supernatural power of the evil spirits within the cities emerged, affecting the surrounding area.

this moment.

Li Hui pushed his supernatural powers to the limit, even incorporating the supernatural abilities of the bus into the ghost realm, attempting to completely seal off the restart of the wish ghost...
