Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 22 Ye Zhen's Actions

"Ah~!"

suddenly.

Just as Fan Jun was pondering.

A piercing scream shattered the deathly silence of the neighborhood.

"Someone has already been murdered?"

in the room.

Upon hearing the scream, Fan Jun's expression changed drastically. He went to the window and looked across the street.

Judging from the direction the sound came from, the source should be the building across the street, which is undoubtedly good news for him, indicating that the vengeful ghost is not currently in the building where he lives.

But this safety is only guaranteed for the moment.

after all.

For a vengeful ghost with a ghost domain, the concept of 'distance' simply doesn't exist. As long as the killing pattern is triggered within its ghost domain, it can instantly arrive in front of you.

at the same time.

The private estate on the outskirts of the city.

Ye Zhen sat on the floor of a training room, eyes closed, breathing rhythmically, as if meditating.

The decoration of this training room is the same as the rest of the manor, with a retro style. The room is brightly lit, and the darkness recedes when the light shines on it, making it as bright as day.

In addition, there was a weapon rack on one side of the room, which was filled with all kinds of weapons, including knives, spears, swords, and axes, but the most numerous were swords.

All kinds of swords.

Some are ancient Chinese swords, just like those worn by heroes in TV dramas, while others are uniquely shaped swords that basically only appear in anime.

at this time.

A long sword stood upright beside Ye Zhen.

The longsword had been sharpened and was extremely sharp, reflecting a cold light under the lamplight. The tip of the sword was deeply embedded in the floor.

"Weapons are an extension of the body's fists and feet; as the saying goes, 'an inch longer, an inch stronger,' and the highest level of swordsmanship lies in the sword severing the flesh and the heart, and severing the soul. One must hold the sword steadily, draw it ruthlessly, and strike with precision..."

It was already late at night, but Ye Zhen showed no sign of resting and continued meditating.

For him, whether to sleep or not is entirely up to him. His body is completely outside the realm of ordinary people. Even if he doesn't sleep, it won't cause any adverse effects. His energy and spirit are always at their peak, and all the negative effects are eliminated by him.

This morning.

Although Ye Zhen's sparring session with Li Hui only lasted for less than two rounds, it still gave him a lot of inspiration.

Direct physical contact with the supernatural greatly increases the level of danger. In the past, whether it was a vengeful ghost or a ghost tamer, the supernatural power Ye Zhen encountered was not strong enough to suppress the scapegoat within him. At that time, Ye Zhen did not realize anything.

But this morning, the scapegoat was genuinely suppressed by Li Hui's supernatural power for a moment, which was terrifying. This surprised Ye Zhen and also inspired a new idea.

Then we'll use weapons.

Using weapons as a buffer between the two, even if it cannot completely get rid of the supernatural invasion, it can at least give oneself enough time to react.

For a top-tier ghost tamer like Ye Zhen, even a mere instant is enough to allow him to make many choices and thus turn the tide of battle.

So after returning to the manor, Ye Zhen began to study swordsmanship.

The main reason I'm drawn to swords among so many weapons is simply because they look cool!
He, Ye, is invincible in the world.

He was already invincible in terms of personal strength, and Ye Zhen felt that he was also invincible in terms of handsomeness, but he could do better and constantly surpass himself.

.........

Just as Ye Zhen continued meditating, the phone placed beside him suddenly rang. The ringtone wasn't loud, but it was very clear, echoing in the room. It was an anime voice: "How many floors do you need to carry a bag of rice up?"
"what happened?"

Ye Zhen frowned and looked at the phone next to him.

When he saw the caller ID number, he knew something had happened in Dahai City.

The caller was one of his assistants; at this hour, it was unlikely that he would call unless it was something urgent.

"They can't even give us peace of mind in the middle of the night. Those underlings are really useless. They have to come to me for everything. It seems that tonight's training will have to be stopped here."

"Sure enough, this city can't function without me."

Ye Zhen sighed.

He didn't answer the phone immediately, but instead closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings. A chilling aura emanated from him, and the lights in the room began to flicker as if there was a malfunction.

But only for a moment, Ye Zhen opened his eyes again and looked towards the north of the city.

His gaze seemed unhindered by walls or distance, allowing him to see what was happening in an upscale residential area in the north of the city.

"That residential area seems to be called Yijiayuan? The hotel where Li Hui is staying is nearby. What's wrong with that guy? Why do ghosts appear wherever he goes?"

Turning his gaze away, Ye Zhen pressed the answer button on his phone.

Before the assistant on the other end of the phone could speak, Ye Zhen said first, "I already know about it. You just need to prepare for the cleanup."

"Mr. Ye, would you like me to send someone to drive you there?" The assistant's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No need to bother!"

Ye Zhen said confidently, "This mere brat is no match for me. Get the golden container ready!"

After saying that, Ye Zhen hung up the call without waiting for a response.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Zhen picked up the long sword standing beside him, took a step forward, and disappeared from the room.

.........

the other side.

Four Seasons Hotel.

Li Hui slept soundly until late at night, but in his drowsy state, he vaguely heard footsteps in the room.

Is there a thief?
Li Hui was startled, his consciousness instantly clearing considerably. He then opened his eyes and looked in the direction from which the footsteps were coming, only to witness an extremely horrifying scene.

The lights in the room were off, but the curtains were not drawn, so although the environment was dim, it wasn't pitch black.

All that could be seen was darkness.

A figure whose features were obscured walked towards them, carrying a longsword that had already been drawn from its sheath. The blade gleamed with a cold light, indicating that it was no ordinary weapon; the craftsmanship and materials used were clearly exceptional.

"you're awake."

Ye Zhen's voice rang out in the darkness.

Unlike Li Hui, he saw things exceptionally clearly.

Having already seen Li Hui's clenched fists and tense body, Ye Zhen had no doubt that if he took a few more steps closer, the other party would throw a punch at him.

That punch, imbued with immense spiritual power, would send him flying even if he were hit. Although he would ultimately be physically unharmed, he would certainly lose face.

As Asia's number one ghost tamer, Ye sneaked into someone's room in the middle of the night and got punched away. If this happened and got out, how could he, Ye, ever face anyone in the industry again?

"Ye Zhen?"

Upon recognizing the person's identity, Li Hui was both shocked and furious.

I don't understand what this late-stage chuunibyou patient is up to now, coming to his room in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, and in this way no less.

It's one thing to knock on the door and come in without proper etiquette, but what's with the sword in your hand?
