Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 162 The Terrifying Supernatural Events That Eradicate Everything

"What terrifying supernatural power! Even a real vengeful ghost can be erased as if it never existed. If it were an ordinary person or a ghost tamer, wouldn't it be even easier to erase them?"

"Is this the strength of a top ghost tamer during the Republic of China era?"

In the courtyard of the old house, Nie Yingping stared in shock at the scene unfolding before him.

As Zhang Dong waved his hand in the main hall of the old house, the ghost realm belonging to the ghost messengers rapidly became blurred, and the number of fierce ghosts in the ghost realm also decreased sharply, being wiped out by Zhang Dong's supernatural power.

Zhang Dong didn't stop what he was doing; he waved again in the direction of the ghost messenger.

next moment.

The once pitch-black ghost realm was becoming clearer, and the extreme darkness was receding. Everything within the ghost realm was exposed to the eyes of the people in the old house: dozens, even hundreds, of identical-looking vengeful ghosts, and piles of red ghost coffins, all exuding a chilling and eerie atmosphere.

Even Nie Yingping and Zhang Xianguang were alarmed by such a vengeful ghost, feeling they lacked the confidence to deal with it.

Yet even such a terrifying ghost appeared utterly helpless before Zhang Dong.

With each wave of Zhang Dong's hand, several vengeful ghosts in the ghost realm would disappear, along with the ghost coffins on the ground, leaving no trace.

It only takes a moment.

Of the hundreds of vengeful ghosts, only three remained, and only three red ghost coffins remained on the ground; the rest had all been wiped out by Zhang Dong.

It was at this moment that a bizarre scene unfolded.

A hint of human emotion appeared in the ghost messenger's pitch-black, cold, and lifeless eyes, as if he were in fear.

At the same time, the ghost's stiff body became surprisingly agile. It quickly turned around and retreated towards the outside of the old house.

At this moment, the ghost messenger actually chose to run away, wanting to quickly leave Zhang Dong's sight and escape from this ancient house.

"What's going on? That vengeful ghost actually possesses intelligence and has the same instinct to run away as a normal person?"

See this scene.

Nie Yingping was even more shocked, and even Zhang Xianguang showed a look of surprise on his face.

As for Li Hui, he frowned in thought. He thought of some characteristics of the starving ghost and the ghost messenger in the original work, and it seemed that both of them had a certain degree of intelligence.

Take the Hungry Ghost for example. After it grew up, it wandered around the vicinity of No. 7 Middle School, which was its birthplace. When Li Hui was watching the Hungry Ghost storyline, he had a feeling that it would miss the past. Later, in Wang Chaling's basement, it showed its super high intelligence and even knew how to act and deceive people.

Secondly, the ghost messengers are not bad either.

In the original story, they knew to set up a false impression at the experimental base. By the time Wang Xiaoming and the others realized what was happening, it was too late. They then left the laboratory with Li Jun's ghost domain.

Then, on the way to the training base, the ghost messenger immediately snatched the human skin paper from Yang Jian's hand. In addition, the ghost messenger's original consciousness was swapped with Guo Fan's consciousness, and he impersonated Guo Fan and mingled in the headquarters for a long time until Wang Xiaoming helped Yang Jian deal with the music box curse.

Then they continued to set traps to lure Wei Jing into talking, which led to the situation where Yang Jian and Wei Jing both lost control. If Yang Jian hadn't arranged for the ghost child to block their path in advance, and if he hadn't woken up in time, it would probably have been the ending of the original story.

Think of this.

Li Hui wasn't so surprised that the ghost messengers were afraid and running away.

Instead, Nie Yingping's shock only intensified. He said, "A vengeful ghost with the same consciousness as a living person... is it really a ghost? In a sense, it's not much different from those outliers among ghost tamers, the only difference being their perception of their own identity..."

However, his question was destined to go unanswered, because both Zhang Xianguang and Li Hui turned their attention back to Zhang Dong.

At this moment, Zhang Dong waved his hand again, signifying the start of a new round of attacks.

With Zhang Dong's first wave of his hand, the three ghost messengers in the Ghost Realm were forcibly erased from this world, disappearing without a trace.

When he waved his hand for the second time, two of the three ghost coffins in the ghost realm disappeared, leaving only one ghost coffin standing there. That was the original ghost coffin, the one that Li Hui had specially taken from the experimental base.

Then Zhang Dong waved his hand for the third time, and the ghost domain that had enveloped most of the courtyard and front yard of the old house completely disappeared. Even the original ghost coffin became extremely old at this moment, with the red paint peeling off and revealing the black wood inside.

It was an eerie black, the same color as the ghost realm of the ghost messengers, but at this moment it seemed to have lost all its supernatural power, just like an ordinary wooden coffin, with only the eerie color of the wood.

"Is that all...?"

Li Hui, who was standing to the side, had a slight change in his gaze after seeing the ghost messenger completely disappear.

Although he had expected this outcome, he still felt a strange sensation after witnessing Zhang Dong completely eliminate the ghost messengers that he had tried so hard to suppress with just a wave of his hand.

He originally thought that after replicating the supernatural abilities of the ghost messengers and the starving ghosts, he would be on par with the Seven Elders of the Republic of China. Now it seems that his idea was correct, but the gap between the top ghost controllers of the Republic of China and the ceiling ghost controllers is bigger than he imagined.

Without experiencing it firsthand, it's impossible to imagine the difference.

"But where did all those vengeful ghosts that Zhang Dong wiped out go?" This thought popped into Li Hui's mind.

He knew that ghosts could not be killed. Even if Zhang Dong could eliminate supernatural phenomena, he could not kill real ghosts. He could only eliminate vengeful spirits and make them disappear from this world.

For example, the ghost messenger at this moment.

The old coffin was its symbol of the supernatural, but not entirely, because the supernatural elements in the coffin had been erased, the ghost messengers had disappeared, and only the coffin remained as a trace of its existence.

Perhaps when that ghost coffin is taken away from here and after a long period of recovery, the ghost messenger's supernatural abilities will reappear. But where it went after it was erased is something Li Hui doesn't know. Even though he has read the original work, he still doesn't know, because it is also a mystery in the original work.

At this moment, Li Hui wanted to ask Zhang Dong a question, but ultimately remained silent. Instead, Zhang Xianguang, who was standing next to Zhang Dong, spoke up:

“Father, I have been planning the Peach Blossom Spring Project for so many years, and I cannot give it up. Whether you agree or not, I will take that mummified corpse with me.”

His tone was indifferent, as if he had little affection for his father, Zhang Dong. However, the expression in Zhang Xianguang's eyes revealed that his heart was not as calm as it appeared.

"This is the path I have chosen, and it is also the most suitable path for the present. Using supernatural forces to isolate supernatural forces can minimize casualties. Even if there is a risk of loss of control later, it doesn't matter. After all, no plan is foolproof. You have no reason to refuse me."

Done.

Zhang Xianguang gestured to Nie Yingping on the other side.

next moment.

Nie Yingping took out a black iron chain from the backpack behind him. The chain looked normal, just like an ordinary iron chain. However, it was actually a supernatural item made by a very terrifying ghost.

Bound by this chain, even a vengeful ghost would be unable to move and would be tightly locked up.

This chain belongs to Zhang Ying. As far as Nie Yingping knows, it was originally given to Zhang Ying by Zhang Xianguang. Since Zhang Ying obtained this chain, she has not encountered any vengeful ghost that she has been able to break free from. This time, in order to successfully tie up that mummified corpse as soon as possible, Nie Yingping specially borrowed this chain from Zhang Ying.

"go!"

the other side.

Seeing that Nie Yingping was ready, Zhang Xianguang took the lead and spoke up. Then, without waiting for Zhang Dong to agree with his plan, he walked out of the lobby and headed towards the right corridor.

On the left and right sides outside the main hall of the old house, there is a corridor. The environment of each corridor is very deep and dark, and you don't know where it leads. You can't see the end at a glance, just like a road of no return.

Also.

There were rooms on both sides of the two corridors. The rooms closer to the outside were still visible, but the rooms closer to the outside were completely obscured by darkness.

Tatata!
Led by Zhang Xianguang, he and Nie Yingping walked toward the right corridor with a clear purpose. They could see that many of the rooms in that corridor had old-fashioned brass locks on their doors, locking them from the outside.

soon.

Zhang Xianguang and his companion disappeared from Li Hui's sight, their figures swallowed up by the darkness of the corridor.

Only then did Li Hui withdraw his gaze, glance at the old coffin on the ground, and then say to Zhang Dong on the other side:

"Old Zhang, thank you so much for this. If it weren't for you, I would have been helpless against that vengeful ghost on my own. I couldn't completely suppress its ghostly aura, so I couldn't imprison it. But if I let it go, then no one will have the strength to deal with it in the future."

Then Li Hui changed the subject, saying, "Now that the vengeful ghost has been eliminated, there's no point in me staying any longer. Besides, I have a lot of things to do in the real world, so I'll leave first."

"You want to take this coffin with you?"

Zhang Dong asked.

His tone was authoritative and calm, and his words were brief but incisive, revealing Li Hui's true thoughts.

Before Li Hui could respond, Zhang Dong continued, "It's not very meaningful for you to take this ghost coffin away now. It's better to leave it here. If you really take it out, that vengeful ghost will reappear, and with your current strength, you won't be able to suppress it, so it will enter a new cycle."

"Is this so..."

Upon hearing this, Li Hui glanced at Zhang Dong with some surprise, then said, "Then let's leave it here for now, and I'll come back to retrieve it when I'm strong enough."

He understood the meaning behind Zhang Dong's words; what he meant was that Zhang Dong's current strength was not enough.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Dong, Li Hui turned and left. He did not use the supernatural bus's ability to break the boundary between the supernatural place and the real world and return to the real world, but instead stepped out of the old house.

As Li Hui moved, a hazy, ghostly light emanated from his body, and clumps of hazy paper ash immediately fell from the surrounding air, drifting around his body.

Then the area covered by the ghost domain expanded rapidly, spreading in all directions at an incredible speed. Then, the ghost domain flashed, and Li Hui disappeared from the spot.

at the same time.

In Dajing City.

The emergency meeting at the Ghost Tamer headquarters has now ended. According to Captain Jiang Shangbai's description, the people at headquarters learned that Li Hui was very likely still alive, and might even have lured away the vengeful ghost in the Ping An Hotel.

Subsequently, based on Jiang Shangbai's description, the headquarters used satellite imaging to quickly discover Li Hui's movement trajectory, which was also related to his massive use of Ghost Domain movement without any concealment.

The satellite tracking incident only came to an end after Li Hui and his ghost domain vanished into thin air in Dazhou City.

"We've searched several floors, but haven't found anything unusual. It seems that Li Hui has really taken all the danger away."

Inside the Ping An Hotel, Gao Ming, dressed in a black leather jacket and wearing sunglasses, thought to himself as he watched the staff search another floor.

At this time, a long cordon had been set up on the open ground outside the Ping An Hotel, surrounding the entire hotel. Not only the hotel itself, but also the streets outside were blocked off, and everyone on the streets was evacuated.

Although the vengeful ghost whose hearing ability alone could drive everyone to despair had been taken away by Li Hui, there was no guarantee that there might still be some supernatural remnants in the shadows. Therefore, headquarters sent people directly to carry out the cleanup work, and Gao Ming was the person in charge of this area.

of course.

He wasn't the only ghost tamer participating in this operation.

Even if the vengeful ghost that managed to make Li Hui lose contact and almost kill him left behind some supernatural phenomena, it would still be deadly to everyone, and the people at headquarters could not afford to be careless.

For this final task, headquarters even sent two team leaders directly.

One of them was Jiang Shangbai, who lived closest to the Ping An Hotel, and the other was Cao Yang, who happened to be wandering around the area.

"Gao Ming, how's the situation now?"

At this time.

As Jiang Shangbai walked in, he asked Gao Ming.

"It's alright. So far, it seems there are no problems. The staff didn't find any trace of the ghost when they searched the lower floors. As for what the upper floors are like, I'm not too sure." Gao Ming glanced back at Jiang Shangbai and then gave a general overview of the current situation.

Tatata!
At this moment, Cao Yang also walked in, a strange smile on his face, as if he had just heard a joke.

Then Cao Yang said to Jiang Shangbai, who was standing next to him, "I dare not say anything about other things, but when it comes to speed, Captain Jiang, you and Li Hui are on par. I just don't know if there is any difference between the supernatural powers you two wield."

Hear the words.

Jiang Shangbai's face darkened.

He then said, "Cao Yang, we usually keep to ourselves and don't interfere with each other. I don't think I've offended you, so why are you mocking me right away?"

"And... speaking of Li Hui, what, do you think you're capable of being on par with him? Otherwise, what's the difference between you and me?"
