Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 175 Introduction
"To be honest, I thought I knew enough about your Ghost Domain, Li Hui, and I knew how powerful it was, but I still didn't expect you to be able to do this."

Outside the towering valley.

Li Hui and his group stood on a hilltop, and Cao Yang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as he looked at the suddenly formed valley.

The supernatural alteration of reality created a valley that appeared to be naturally formed, and even caused some superfluous things to disappear completely, which greatly shocked Cao Yang.

Not only him, but Li Leping, who was standing next to him, also showed surprise. Only Li Hui, the protagonist of this incident, as well as Wei Jing and Ye Zhen, remained calm, as if they were already used to such actions.

"Before this, I always thought that the influence of the Ghost Realm on reality was only temporary. The Ghost Realm was like a special supernatural space. As long as the Ghost Realm existed, its influence would continue. After the Ghost Realm left, everything in the real world would gradually return to normal!"

Cao Yang spoke up, "Judging from what Li Hui is showing now, doesn't this mean that my previous understanding was wrong, and that the supernatural phenomena of the Ghost Realm can completely alter reality?"

"If that's the case, then can you create something out of thin air that didn't exist before, like... a creator?"

Hear this.

Li Leping paused for a moment, then looked thoughtfully at Li Hui, who was in the lead.

He also possessed a ghost domain, and its strength was not low, but he still couldn't completely alter the real world like Li Hui did.

He could also modify the landscape simply, much like moving objects using the Ghost Realm, only with more advanced techniques. However, he admitted he couldn't completely alter reality, making things that originally existed in reality disappear.

In other words.

This is beyond their understanding of the Ghost Domain's abilities. If Li Hui's actions can make things in reality disappear completely, then doesn't that mean he can also make people disappear as well?
Thinking of this.

The surprise on Cao Yang and Li Leping's faces deepened.

At this moment, Ye Zhen spoke up: "Using the supernatural phenomena of the Ghost Realm to affect the real world, isn't that something anyone can do? Such a low-level operation can actually shock you like this. It seems that your headquarters really has no one left!"

"As for what you said about creating things out of thin air that don't actually exist in reality, I think that's a good idea. I've decided that from now on, my research on the Ghost Realm will focus on that direction."

The words fell.

Ye Zhen swung his strange, twisted longsword, and instantly a crack appeared in the space in front of him. This crack spread out at an incredible speed, extending towards a large tree not far away.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the crack stretched all the way to the front of the tree, eventually engulfing the entire tree.

Then the crack suddenly disappeared, along with the large tree that was as thick as an adult's thigh. Much of the soil beneath the tree also disappeared, leaving only a small pit that was more than two meters wide and three or four meters deep.

See this.

Cao Yang's pupils contracted sharply. He thought to himself that Ye Zhen was indeed worthy of being called the legendary number one ghost tamer in Asia. Although there was a lot of exaggeration in that title, it seemed that the other party's strength was indeed not weak, at least much stronger than his own.

Li Leping, standing beside him, also looked somewhat surprised, but he didn't seem too apprehensive, as if he didn't quite acknowledge Ye Zhen's strength as the 'Number One Ghost Tamer in Asia'.

But it’s no wonder.

Every top ghost tamer has their own pride and their own area of ​​expertise. In the realm of ghosts, Li Leping may not be as good as Ye Zhen, but in other aspects, that may not be the case.

Among the people outside, apart from Li Hui, whom Li Leping admitted he was no match for, Wei Jing was the only one he was somewhat wary of. As for Ye Zhen, Li Leping believed that with his control of four fierce ghosts, possession of multiple death-inducing supernatural abilities, and the presence of the Forgotten Ghost, he felt his strength was no less than Ye Zhen's.

As for Cao Yang, Li Leping felt it was better not to mention him, as his strength was definitely the weakest among them.

While thinking.

Li Leping looked at Ye Zhen, about to say something, but before he could speak, Wei Jing, who had been silent all along, spoke first:
"Ye Zhen, I admit that you are indeed strong, but that is not enough for you to use to belittle the headquarters!"

"As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Since its inception, the Ghost Tamer Headquarters has been dedicated to handling paranormal events across the country, allowing ordinary people to live normal lives. Yet you, Ye Zhen, not only occupy Dahai City and turn it into your backyard, but you also have the audacity to belittle the Ghost Tamer Headquarters?"

Upon hearing this, not only Ye Zhen, but also Li Hui, Cao Yang, Li Leping and others turned their attention to Wei Jing, though their expressions were all different.

Ye Zhen's face was cold, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. Li Leping looked somewhat surprised. Cao Yang had a thoughtful expression on his face, while Li Hui remained calm as always, seemingly unsurprised.

Said without politeness.

Of the five people present, only Wei Jing was the most 'upright'.

This point was already shown in the original work. Wei Jing and Li Jun are the same kind of people, and apart from them, everyone else in the headquarters has their own ulterior motives, including the other captains!

"Your name is Wei Jing, right?"

Ye Zhen looked at Wei Jing with a cold expression and said in an icy tone, "You know very well what the headquarters is like. As for how I, Ye, will act, it is not your place to tell me what to do."

"Don't think that just because there are more people from your headquarters here, you can suppress me. In front of me, Ye, the number of people is of little significance. To put it bluntly, apart from Li Hui, all of you outside are trash in my eyes!"

"Li Hui, what have you thought about? Do you want to leave headquarters and come to my paranormal forum? If you want, I can even give you my administrator position. I, Ye, will be your deputy, and we can create a new era together."

Ye Zhen said the last sentence to Li Hui.

It's clear that he genuinely wanted to win over Li Hui, even going so far as to relinquish his position as an administrator of the paranormal forum.

At this moment, Li Hui said, "I have no intention of leaving headquarters for the time being."

Hearing this, Ye Zhen was not surprised and continued, "You'd better think about this matter more carefully. Joining headquarters is not a good choice. Also, I hope you can remain neutral in the following matters, Li Hui."

"I, Ye, have been inactive for too long. Now, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can boss me around. If I don't teach them a lesson today, people will really think that I, Ye, am afraid of headquarters."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhen prepared to make his move, raising his strange longsword. On the other side, Wei Jing was also enveloped in the black ghostly aura of a ghost messenger, his stiff body radiating a cold aura, just like a real vengeful ghost.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became tense. Even Li Leping and Cao Yang stared at Ye Zhen with unfriendly expressions, as if they intended to join forces with Wei Jing to deal with Ye Zhen.

It's not that they have a strong sense of belonging to headquarters; it's just that Ye Zhen just dragged them into the mess with his insults.

"If you want to fight, go fight somewhere else."

Li Hui said, "I just finished setting this up. The temple hasn't been completely sealed with gold yet. If you do things here, you might attract the real ghost temple. Although I'm not afraid of ghost temples, I'll definitely get involved. I don't want to do this kind of losing business!"

As he spoke, Li Hui glanced at the valley he had built in front of him. From his angle, he could only see the outer edge of the valley and could not see the inside clearly, but the dilapidated temple was one that he had personally 'placed' into the valley.

The terrain was such that it prevented most ordinary people from accessing the temple. Even if the headquarters wanted to seal the temple with gold, they could only use helicopters to airlift the gold materials in.

to be frank.

Before this, Li Hui had considered bringing the temple with him and imprisoning it in his ghost realm, but he did not do so because it was meaningless; the supernatural passage in the temple was of no use to him.

As he pondered, a hazy, ghostly aura emanated from his body and rapidly expanded outwards, spreading towards the direction of Dajing City.

next moment.

Li Hui's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a voice coming from the air.

“I have already dealt with this ‘ghost temple mummies incident’. I have also temporarily sealed off the dilapidated temple with the surrounding terrain. If you fight here and cause new paranormal events, you will have to deal with it yourselves.”

obviously.

Li Hui proved his views on the conflict between Ye Zhen and Wei Jing through his actions.

He didn't intend to mediate between the two sides, nor did he want to get involved. So Li Hui simply chose to leave. Just as he said, the paranormal incident had now been successfully resolved, and all that remained was some finishing touches. There was absolutely no need for him to stay.

As for staying to see the outcome of the fight between Ye Zhen and Wei Jing?
In fact, Li Hui already had the answer in his heart.

Although Ye Zhen is quite strong, stronger than 80% of the team leaders at headquarters, he is definitely no match for Wei Jing and the others.

Even setting aside Wei Jing's powerful suppressive force that could be Ye Zhen's scapegoat, Li Leping could also fight Ye Zhen. Even if he was no match for him, the difference wouldn't be too great. So if the two sides really fought, Ye Zhen was destined to be the loser, and might even be suppressed the moment they clashed.

Now that he already had the answer in his heart, Li Hui felt there was no need to stay any longer.

soon.

The city buildings of Dajing City came into Li Hui's view. At his current speed of travel in the Ghost Domain, it wouldn't take him long to travel from Dasa City back to Dajing City, let alone travel around the world.

at the same time.

Xiaoyuan City.

Suwu Town.

This is a town located on the northeastern border of China. On the other side of Suwu Town lies the border outside of China.

This day.

Two men in their forties or fifties arrived at the border of Suwu Town. Their names were Wang Han and Song Xinhai.

"I wonder how Zhang Xian is doing now, whether he has attracted the ghost painting. Speaking of that haunted painting, I don't know what happened to it, but ordinary methods can't attract it. We have to deal with it in person."

Song Xinhai frowned and said.

Previously, Zhang Xianguang found them, gathered them together, and gave them different orders. Among them, Du Hong and Zhang Ying were ordered to kidnap a woman in Tai O City, Zhang Xianguang and Nie Yingping were to go to a supernatural place for another mission, and Song Xinhai, Wang Han, and Zhang Xian were responsible for guiding the painting.

of course.

They weren't trying to cite any ordinary paintings.

It is the ghost painting that is the source of the S-level paranormal event that caused a great uproar abroad!

With their abilities, the three of them would naturally be incapable of dealing with the ghost painting, but they were quite confident in luring it to Shuangqiao Town in Dahan City. However, they never expected that the difficulty of the matter would ultimately exceed their expectations.

Before this, the three of them had devised a series of plans, but none of them worked. It was as if the ghost painting had undergone some kind of strange change that they were unaware of, and none of their plans could bring it from abroad.

Ultimately, having no other choice, they decided to actually come into contact with the ghost painting, sending Zhang to guide the painting while Song Xinhai and Wang Han provided support from behind.

"It shouldn't fail, right?"

At this moment, Wang Han frowned and said, "It's just a matter of attracting the ghost painting, not actually having it collide with the ghost painting. We just need to attract the ghost painting's supernatural power, and Zhang Xian can handle the rest..."

Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and together with Song Xinhai beside him, as if they had sensed something, they stared intently at the sky ahead.

I don't know when it happened.

The once clear sky suddenly darkened, and the horizon ahead turned a hazy gray, with clumps of gray, paper-ash-like objects beginning to fall from the sky.

“This is a ghost painting, it seems Zhang Xian’s operation was successful.” Song Xinhai said with a solemn expression, then took out a black piece of paper and a lighter from his pocket.

"Get ready. Next, we just need to wait for Zhang to appear. Then I'll light the letter and leave through the Ghost Post Office's passage. This way, we'll lure the Ghost Painting to Dahan City. Otherwise, given the Ghost Painting's ghost domain, we definitely can't outrun it."

As he spoke, Song Xinhai placed a lighter under the black letter, ready to light it and burn it at any moment.

That's when.

Not far from them, a figure appeared strangely. It was an old man, about seventy or eighty years old, with age spots on his face and wearing an old gray cloth robe.

At this moment, he burst forth with a running speed beyond his years, sprinting towards Song Xinhai and the others' location while shouting, "Operation successful! Retreat!"

"Snap!"

The sound of a lighter being lit rang out.

The moment Song Xinhai saw the old man's face clearly, he pressed the lighter without hesitation and lit the black letter in his other hand.

The black letter paper resembled a burning black incense stick, instantly producing a wisp of smoke that eventually gathered together, revealing a strangely winding path before their eyes.

This is a road that does not exist in the real world.

At the end of the road stands an old building from the Republican era. A sign still hangs on the door of the building, and colorful neon lights flash around it, creating a depressing and eerie atmosphere.
