Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 193 Forced Intrusion, Plan Implementation

"Is he Shen Lin?"

On the outskirts of Dahan City, a group of five people frowned as they looked at Shen Lin, who had appeared in such a strange way. The other four, except for Li Hui, did not look too good, and even Li Jun did not look good.

But it’s no wonder.

It's unlikely to be a pleasant experience for anyone to encounter someone who subtly distorts their memories without them realizing it.

Although this may not have been Shen Lin's original intention, his supernatural characteristics still caused everyone to have an additional memory that did not exist in the original mind. Subsequently, the memory overlapped with reality, and Shen Lin also used this to directly invade reality.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, and your supernatural abilities have become even stronger, as has the state you're currently displaying..."

After a moment of silence, Li Jun was the first to break the silence. He looked at Shen Lin beside him and asked curiously, "How did you manage to invade reality by following your memories? What happened to you during this time?"

"It's actually nothing."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lin gave a wry smile and said, "I encountered some things before, and then I was lucky enough to survive."

"As for why things turned out this way, that's a long story. To put it simply, it's caused by the vengeful spirit I control. After all, anything can happen in supernatural events, right?"

"And that's not the point. The important thing is how we should deal with the ghost paintings in Dahan City."

Speaking of which.

Shen Lin first glanced at Li Hui standing to the side, his eyes filled with inquiry, curiosity, and confusion, even a hint of envy, before continuing:
"This must be Captain Li, who's recently become quite famous in the paranormal community, right? Seeing is believing, indeed. It's said that Captain Li is skilled in controlling the supernatural phenomena of ghost paintings. What are your thoughts on the operation in Dahan City this time?"

Zhao Jianguo had already informed him over the phone that the operation would be led by Li Hui, who also possessed supernatural abilities. Therefore, Shen Lin wanted to know Li Hui's thoughts in order to facilitate his subsequent cooperation.

Upon hearing this, Li Jun, Wang Chaling, and the others also turned their attention to Li Hui, seemingly wanting to hear his plan as well.

Seeing this, Li Hui said calmly, "What effective plan can we have against a ghost like Ghost Painting? We can only improvise. Besides, you should all have seen the files on Ghost Painting. With your abilities, it shouldn't be hard to guess that someone deliberately lured Ghost Painting to Dahan City."

"There are indeed signs of human intervention behind this sudden incident in Dahan City!"

As soon as Li Hui finished speaking, Li Jun chimed in, "You should all know that the Ghost Painting broke out in Dahai City before, and then Li Hui lured it abroad again."

"Logically speaking, the ghost painting should still be wandering abroad at this time. It's impossible for it to appear in China for no reason, and in such a sudden way, it completely broke out in Dahan City, engulfing the entire city."

"Based on the headquarters' think tank's deductions, the current situation in Dahan City is very likely due to someone in the city triggering the Ghost Painting's murder pattern, or something similar, which ultimately led to the Ghost Painting being drawn here!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present varied, but none of them were surprised, as if they had expected it all along.

Then Wang Chaling pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "So if we enter Dahan City now, in addition to being careful of the source of the ghost painting and other fierce ghosts in the ghost realm, we also need to be prepared to be attacked by other ghost tamers at any time. It seems that the difficulty of our mission this time is really not ordinary."

"If it weren't difficult, we wouldn't have had the six of us working together."

Paper Doll Liu San said at the right moment: "You should know that the headquarters has mobilized more than half of the team leaders this time, which shows how much importance they attach to this incident. It also shows how difficult this incident is."

"But that's understandable. Even setting aside other factors, just considering the ghost painting itself, it's an S-level paranormal event, extremely terrifying."

"It is said that a top-notch ghost-controlling team from abroad once tried to imprison the ghost painting, but ultimately failed. The entire ghost-controlling team was wiped out, and even the top ghost-controlling leader who led the team did not escape and died in that operation!"

Everyone basically knew this information, so when Liu San said it, none of them were surprised. However, their level of attention to the ghost painting increased even more.

"So, is our operation this time to completely imprison Ghost Painting, or to find a way to smuggle it abroad again?" Jiang Shangbai, who seemed to have become a background figure, asked at this moment.

He hadn't spoken during their conversation, just listened quietly, until now when he finally asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Li Jun responded, "Ghost Painting is almost impossible to imprison; we just need to find a way to lure it away."

to be frank.

If he had a choice, Li Jun would certainly want to imprison Guihua completely to eliminate any future troubles. However, based on the current situation, it is unlikely that they will imprison Guihua. Therefore, the best approach is to lure him abroad again, while also finishing up the mess and eliminating the Ghost Master who is causing trouble in secret!
Upon hearing this, Li Hui simply glanced calmly at Jiang Shangbai and Li Jun, but did not say anything.

Having read the original work, he naturally understood that regardless of whether Zhang Xianguang's plan succeeded or not, the supernatural power of the ghost painting would be completely controlled. The only difference was whether it was controlled by Zhang Xianguang or He Yuelian.

However, he naturally couldn't reveal this information now. Everything would become clear once they entered Dahan City.

Think of this.

Li Hui said, "Alright, there's no need for further words. The most important thing now is to ascertain the situation of the vengeful ghost. From now on, none of you should resist. I will use the power of the Ghost Domain to take you all into Dahan City!"

The words fell.

Without waiting for a response from the crowd.

Li Hui then took action.

The surrounding environment, which had just regained its brightness, instantly turned gloomy again. Grayish paper ash appeared out of nowhere and kept falling from the sky. Li Hui's ghostly domain enveloped the open space outside Dahan City.

Everything in reality seemed to be assimilated by Li Hui's ghost realm at this moment. Whether it was the blue sky and white clouds or the green mountains and clear waters, everything lost its original color and turned into a gray haze.

Also.

Li Hui's ghostly realm was almost identical to the illusory world that enveloped Dahan City; they were clearly the same supernatural abilities.

next moment.

A hazy, ghostly light flashed, and Li Hui and the others vanished instantly, leaving only some ashes scattered on the open ground outside Dahan City.

at the same time.

The interior of Dahan City.

At this moment, the entire city was shrouded in the ghostly realm of the ghost paintings. As far as the eye could see, everything was a hazy gray. Paper dust fell from the sky like a blizzard, covering the city's ground with a thick layer of paper dust.

This bizarre scene deeply disturbed the hearts of every resident of Dahan City. In an instant, the entire city was thrown into complete chaos. The transportation system was paralyzed, and shouts, noises, and screams rose and fell everywhere. The entire city was plunged into absolute panic.

However, what is truly terrifying is...

In some corners of the city, people are dying all the time.

Because the ghost realm overlaps with reality, some vengeful ghosts that originally roamed the ghost painting ghost realm have also invaded reality and are now wandering around Dahan City.

Once someone triggers their killing pattern, these vengeful spirits will immediately take action, attacking living people who meet their killing criteria.

For a while.

A feeling called fear is spreading rapidly throughout Dahan City...

.........

the other side.

Shuangqiao Town.

Compared to other places in Dahan City, the scene in Shuangqiao Town at this time was undoubtedly more bizarre.

Everywhere else was a gray and hazy scene, but Shuangqiao Town was a gray and white expanse at this moment. The paper dust falling from the sky was no longer gray and hazy, but gray and white, as if it were really snowing.

In addition, the ground, rooftops of all buildings, trees, and grass in Shuangqiao Town were all covered in a gray-white color. The piled-up gray-white ash looked just like real snow from a distance, and the world was completely gray-white.

Meanwhile, in a village on the outskirts of Shuangqiao Town, Zhang Xianguang and his team's operation officially began.

At this moment, eight figures stood in an open space in the village. Behind them was a black coffin, which was shaking from time to time, as if something inside was struggling.

However, the eight people standing nearby seemed to have gotten used to this bizarre sight, and no surprise was seen on their faces.

Among the eight people.

Besides Zhang Xianguang, who was in charge, and his clone who looked exactly like him and was carrying a large knife, the remaining people were Song Xinhai, Wang Han, Nie Yingping, Zhang Xian, Du Hong, Zhang Ying, and He Yuelian, whose body was bound hand and foot.

At this moment, He Yuelian seemed to have resigned herself to her fate. She stopped struggling as before and calmed down. Her gaze swept back and forth over Zhang Xianguang and the others, as if she wanted to remember them all.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianguang and the others didn't seem to care at all, as if they weren't afraid of He Yuelian settling scores later, or perhaps they thought that He Yuelian had no future, so they let the other party look at them without any scruples.

"It's almost time, let's get started."

suddenly.

Zhang Xianguang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Hong and Zhang Ying, who were closest to the black coffin, worked together to push open the coffin lid.

Suddenly.

A chilling aura, accompanied by a faint stench of decay, permeated the air.

Inside the black coffin lay a emaciated, mummified corpse. The corpse was dressed in red clothes and had a red cloth covering its head, resembling a bride preparing for her wedding, but its body was strangely mummified.

At this moment, the mummified body was bound by an old iron chain.

This iron chain is a supernatural item with the ability to restrict other supernatural entities. It can be used to bind ghosts and trap them, preventing them from escaping.

Even though she was bound by such a supernatural object, the mummified bride still had the ability to struggle, as if the thick iron chains could not completely seal off her supernatural power.

"The puzzle pieces are not yet complete; we're still missing a pair of shoes. Will this affect the smooth progress of the plan?"

Looking at the mummified bride in the black coffin, Nie Yingping frowned slightly and asked Zhang Xianguang, who was in the lead.

The sudden early start of this operation meant that many of their preparations were rendered useless, and they even failed to collect all the other puzzle pieces related to the mummy bride and the ghost painting; some things were still missing.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianguang said, "Things have come to this point. If we can't find those shoes, we'll draw a pair. Although it will only last for a short time, it should be enough."

As he spoke, Zhang Xianguang took out a box from his pocket, and inside was a dye as bright as blood.

This is dye used in oil painting, a very strange thing that can turn painted objects into reality. Although it only exists in the world of oil painting, it still possesses supernatural power.

"Since you're all ready, let's begin. To be honest, the scene of the mummified bride holding hands with the vengeful ghost from the ghost painting should be quite interesting!"

Seeing the dye in Zhang Xianguang's hand, Nie Yingping's eyes flashed, and his face showed an expression that was not in line with his age—an expression that could be described as 'eager to try'.

After receiving Zhang Xianguang's approval, Nie Yingping said to Du Hong and Zhang Ying, "Take off the red wedding dress from the mummified bride and put it on He Yuelian!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuelian's expression changed drastically.

Seeing the red clothes worn by the mummified corpse, He Yuelian's eyes were immediately filled with fear. She wanted to refuse, but the situation left her with no choice.

Du Hong and Zhang Ying on the other side also dared not be careless in the slightest. After hearing the instructions, they immediately began to operate carefully. Finally, after some effort, they managed to separate the red wedding dress from the mummified corpse.

As soon as the red clothes were removed, the mummified corpse that had been struggling immediately calmed down, as if it had lost all supernatural support and returned to being an ordinary corpse, appearing as if there was nothing unusual about it.

However, the red wedding dress appears particularly eerie, as if a living person is standing still with no support underneath.

next moment.

The eerie red wedding dress began to flutter without wind, and one of its sleeves billowed out and drifted toward Zhang Ying, who was closest to it.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianguang reacted quickly, grabbing He Yuelian by the neck and throwing her towards the location of the red wedding dress, blocking Zhang Ying. At the same time, Zhang Xianguang took out an oil painting that he had prepared beforehand and showed the contents of the painting to He Yuelian.

The painting depicts a woman in red who bears a striking resemblance to He Yuelian. In fact, aside from their clothing, they are almost identical in appearance.

obviously.

This oil painting is a portrait with a ghostly curse, and the woman in red in the painting is the very image of the evil ghost that is the source of the ghost painting!
