Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 140 The Third Ability: The Ghost Messenger Emerges from the Coffin!

The front yard of an old house in a haunted place.

Li Hui, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and looked towards the corridor on the left side of the courtyard, where a strange figure was standing.

Beneath the bright red cheongsam, resembling blood, and the hood, lay a dried-up corpse with its body stiff and its dark brown skin tightly wrapped around its bones.

That was a terrifying ghost that appeared more than once in the original work. In the files established by Yang Jian, the code name of this ghost was 'Mummy Bride'!
obviously.

The reason Li Hui stopped leaving was because of the vengeful ghost that suddenly emerged from the darkness of the corridor.

He was considering whether to use his phone's tattooing ability to recreate the supernatural phenomenon of the mummified bride.

Currently, there are only four frames left to replicate the supernatural. The first and second of the original six frames have already been used to replicate the bus and the ghost drawing, respectively.

Therefore, whether or not to apply the third framework to the mummified bride became the decision he needed to make at that moment.

Is the mummy bride really that supernatural?
powerful!
Very strong!
In Li Hui's view, in terms of the completeness and terror of an individual ghost painting, it is even more terrifying than a complete ghost painting!
If we disregard other external factors and simply allow the ghost painting and the mummified bride, these two supernatural puzzle pieces, to meet, it's hard to say who will ultimately piece together whom.

Think of this.

Li Hui immediately made up his mind to replicate the supernatural phenomenon of the mummified bride!

He has never been one to procrastinate, and once he made a decision, he immediately began to take action.

A strange, scarlet light emerged from the back of Li Hui's hand and then quickly enveloped the mummified bride not far from him.

Almost at the same time as Li Hui took action, Zhang Dong in the main hall of the old house and the mummified bride standing there both sensed it. The mummified bride, in particular, slowly raised her thin, bony hand, as if she was about to wave to Li Hui in the next second.

However, the eerie red light spread too quickly, and before the mummified bride could make any further moves, she was frozen in place.

"I wonder how much of the mummy bride's supernatural aura can be replicated this time," Li Hui thought to himself as he witnessed the scene.

Although he currently controls the phone tattoo and can freely replicate the supernatural power he desires, the exact intensity of the supernatural power he can replicate is still beyond his control.

It is worth mentioning that.

Perhaps due to the influence of Zhang Dong's supernatural power, the scarlet light did not freeze everything in the area like the previous replica of the bus and the ghost painting. Only Li Hui and the mummified bride, who were shrouded in the red light, were unable to move.

that's it.

Under Zhang Dong's curious gaze, time passed by, second by second.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... ten seconds...

Twenty seconds later, the crimson light receded like a tide, and the mummified bride and Li Hui, who had been bound by the red light, were able to move again.

next moment.

The mummified bride waved her skin-and-bones hand toward Li Hui, as if she were greeting someone and beckoning them over.

At the same time, Li Hui also made almost the same move.

Then, the supernatural phenomena that summoned ghosts emerged. The terrifying supernatural rules collided and canceled each other out. In the end, neither the mummified bride nor Li Hui was affected by the other, as if they had just been greeting each other.

"For a full twenty seconds, the supernatural scene of the mummified bride was perfectly replicated!"

Li Hui's face lit up with undisguised joy. This was the only complete ghost ability he had ever replicated. He then focused his gaze on the tattoo on the back of his hand.

Of the six boxes, three now contained something, no longer empty. Besides the first two, the third box contained a shrunken projection of the mummified bride.

The red wedding dress and red veil are very prominent and appear very realistic, but the mummified figure inside the wedding dress is slightly blurry, giving it an illusory feel.

Li Hui was not surprised by this.

Having read the original novel, he naturally knew that what was truly terrifying about the mummy bride was actually her red wedding dress and veil; the mummy inside was not so important.

Because anyone who wears that red wedding dress will be transformed into another mummified corpse under supernatural influences. As for the hood, it is a piece of the wedding dress and serves a protective function.

Even now, the mummified bride hadn't given up attacking Li Hui; her withered hands continued to wave, making a beckoning gesture.

However, every time she beckons, Li Hui will make the same beckoning gesture, using the mummy bride's ghost-summoning ability to counteract her ghost-summoning power.

Both used the same supernatural power, and the intensity of their supernatural abilities was almost the same. Without the intervention of other supernatural powers, their summoning of ghosts was canceled out by each other's supernatural abilities.

"Alright, that's enough. We've already replicated the supernatural abilities of the mummy bride, so there's not much point in taking her away now. Besides, Zhang Dong might not let me take her. Since that's the case, there's no need to stay any longer."

Think of this.

Li Hui once again neutralized the supernatural attack of the beckoning corpse bride. Then, he used the supernatural bus's ability to directly break the boundary between the supernatural world and the real world. He took a step and disappeared from the spot.

at the same time.

Ping An Hotel.

Upon receiving the notification, Yang Jian left the hotel again and boarded the special car arranged by headquarters to pick him up. However, this time, unlike before when he went to the experimental building, he was going to the headquarters training base, which was located not far from the experimental building.

Yang Jian didn't say a word on the way, his eyes were fixed on the scenery rushing past the car window, and at the same time, his conversation with Liu Xiaoyu came to mind.

Yang Jian requested that we go to the training now, saying that the sooner we finish the training, the sooner it will end. After all, the headquarters had already made arrangements. Each Ghost Tamer's training period is seven days, so it's better to end it sooner.

While thinking.

The car had already left the city and headed into the mountains towards the training base.

Perhaps for reasons of secrecy, or perhaps to keep it a secret from ordinary people, the research building, the training base, and the headquarters base that Yang Jian has not yet visited were all built in the mountains.

Furthermore, this mountain road does not exist on the map; it is a road unknown to ordinary people, and there are staff members stationed along the way to check and prevent some private vehicles from accidentally entering.

The headquarters base is the most heavily guarded.

Because the headquarters base is so important, it not only has several warehouses used to store supernatural items and even vengeful ghosts, but it is also the office location where the Ghost Tamers headquarters carries out their work.

As the car moved forward, Yang Jian soon arrived outside the training base. At this moment, there were already many vehicles parked on the open ground outside the base building. Judging from the license plates, they were all vehicles from the Ghost Riders headquarters.

Yang Jian guessed that the vehicles were probably staff members and other ghost riders participating in the training, because he had already seen a 'familiar face' in front of the training base building.

Zhang Lei, the Ghost Eater!
At this moment, Zhang Lei was standing at the entrance of the base, looking out as if searching for someone. His slightly haggard and stiff face was highly recognizable, and Yang Jian recognized him at a glance.

"Yang Jian?"

As Yang Jian's car approached, Zhang Lei's eyes lit up when he saw who was sitting inside, and he then walked closer.

"Zhang Lei, are you waiting for someone?" Yang Jian asked Zhang Lei as he got out of the car.

"Yes."

Zhang Lei nodded upon hearing this and said, "I heard that most of the people staying at the Ping An Hotel are going to participate in this training, so I wanted to see if Captain Li would be there too."

"Captain Li? You mean Li Hui?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian was visibly taken aback, but quickly realized that the person Zhang Lei was referring to was the top ghost tamer codenamed 'Ghost Painting'.

Yang Jian then glanced at Zhang Lei with a hint of surprise. Earlier, the other man had come to his room to ask him about the starving ghost, but Yang Jian had brushed him off and told him to go find Li Hui.

When there was no news for a long time, Yang Jian thought that Zhang Lei had not gone to find Li Hui. But now it seemed that the two had probably met, and the result of their conversation was probably quite good.

While thinking.

Yang Jian spoke up, "I haven't heard anything about Li Hui coming to participate in this training. But speaking of which, why do you call Li Hui 'Team Leader Li'?"

"You don't know about 'Project Captain' either?"

Zhang Lei glanced at Yang Jian, then continued as if he had thought of something, "But that makes sense. We're both newcomers at headquarters, and our strength isn't comparable to top-tier ghost tamers like Captain Li. We're not qualified to be nominated, so naturally we don't know."

Captain's Plan?

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian frowned.

He had indeed heard of the plan Zhang Lei mentioned; he learned about it during a conversation with Zhao Jianguo after the Starving Ghost incident.

However, Zhao Jianguo seemed to know very little and didn't say much, only saying that if Yang Jian handled the starving ghost incident in Dachang City, then he would most likely have a place in the 'Captain's Plan'.

At the time, Yang Jian didn't care.

He thought, "What's wrong with having a place in a plan I've never even heard of? After all, even my joining the Ghost Tamer Headquarters was half-hearted, so I naturally wouldn't take it too seriously."

However, it seems that the 'Captain Project' is not as simple as it appears now?
Even a top-tier ghost tamer like Li Hui agreed to join the plan, so there must be some huge benefits that I'm unaware of.

After all, judging from Li Hui's previous actions, Yang Jian seems to be the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a profit, which is very similar to him. How could such a person agree to participate in that Captain Project if there were no substantial benefits?
Think of this.

Yang Jian took the initiative to speak with Zhang Lei, trying to subtly extract some information about the captain's plan.

Zhang Lei didn't seem disappointed when Yang Jian told him that Li Hui was unlikely to participate in the training at the base. He and Yang Jian then walked and talked as they headed into the training building.

This seven-day training program is a semi-closed program. Participants can choose to stay at the Ping An Hotel, but most will opt for the convenience of staying in the training base's dormitory.

When Yang Jian and Zhang Lei entered the building, they found that there were already quite a few people there. Most of these people were not in good health and had various abnormalities. They were obviously ghost tamers, and like Yang Jian and Zhang Lei, they were here to participate in this training at the base.

.........

at the same time.

Outside the experimental base, not far from the training base.

The open space was now occupied by a red coffin, its color as alluring as blood. The coffin itself was slightly old, giving it an extremely eerie and strange feel, which made all the passing staff stop and take a look.

"Wait...did you guys notice that the lid of that coffin seemed to move a little just now?"

At this time.

One of the staff members, looking slightly flustered, spoke to the others beside him as if he had discovered something terrible.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could an abandoned coffin suddenly move? You must have stayed up too late last night and are now delirious with fear?"

"Furthermore, if there really was something wrong with that coffin, how could Professor Wang have just left it here? He would have sealed it away completely long ago."

"Exactly, exactly. If you ask me, you're mentally unstable. You're always being paranoid for no reason."

"..."

Several staff members nearby spoke up one after another, denying the person's initial statement, and all felt that there was nothing wrong with the coffin.

"Could it be that I'm just too tired and misread it? No, no, I need to take two days off and go back to get some rest."

Seeing that the people around him were saying the same thing, the staff member who spoke first couldn't help but doubt what he had just witnessed.

Then they all left and got back to their work.

Shortly after they left, a strange noise suddenly came from the vermilion coffin placed in the open space.

"Kakaka..."

With a sickening screech of wood scraping against each other, the lid of the red coffin suddenly began to move, and the coffin was being slowly opened.

Finally, with a "bang" as something hit the ground, the red coffin lid fell directly to the ground beside it.

At this point, the scene inside the coffin was revealed.

The inside of the red coffin was pitch black, an extreme darkness that even sunlight could not penetrate, being swallowed up by the darkness within the coffin.

At this moment, the eerie darkness inside the coffin began to spread rapidly outwards, then expanded in all directions at an incredible speed, enveloping the entire experimental base in the blink of an eye.

"what's the situation?"

"Why is it suddenly dark?"

Was there a total solar eclipse?

For a while.

The staff at the base who witnessed this scene were all stunned, and then began to whisper among themselves.

But then they noticed something was wrong and realized that the darkness was not working properly, because the light from flashlights and other sources could not illuminate the darkness at all, which was obviously abnormal.

soon.

In the darkness, dull, stiff footsteps began to echo, followed shortly by a piercing scream that instantly ignited the terror deep within the hearts of all the staff.

The laboratory within the base.

Noticing the change in the external environment, Wang Xiaoming's expression was inscrutable, his eyes remaining as calm as ever, as if he had expected this scene all along.

"Professor Wang, something's not right outside..."

At this moment, Li Jun, who also noticed the abnormality, changed his expression slightly, stood up, protected Wang Xiaoming behind him, and slowly spoke.

However, before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiaoming interrupted him: "Everyone in this world will die, it's just that the way they die is different, and there's also the question of whether their death is worthwhile..."
