Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 25 A strange place
"Another person has been murdered?"

Li Hui frowned as he reached the corner of the stairs on the fourth floor and looked up at the top of the stairs.

Just a while ago.

A woman's scream came from the upper floors. Judging from the emotion conveyed in the scream, Li Hui guessed that the woman had encountered a supernatural attack.

The reason Li Hui was certain the other person was dead was because the cessation of the scream was clearly abnormal; it wasn't that the other person intentionally stopped screaming, but rather...

It's unclear whether the unfortunate woman encountered a real vengeful ghost or a ghost servant lingering in the ghost realm.

But regardless of which one it is, whether it's a vengeful ghost or a ghost slave, it's extremely deadly to ordinary people.

Although Li Hui has not yet discovered any ghost slaves, judging from the number of deaths in this incident, there are definitely ghost slaves in this ghost realm surrounded by black mist.

Because too many people died!

Li Hui practically stepped over corpses as he climbed the stairs; the higher he went, the more corpses he found on the steps.

The deaths of each corpse were almost all equally bizarre and horrific.

Besides their necks being twisted 180 degrees, their mouths were all wide open, flesh turned outwards, and their tongues had disappeared.

"It seems that the killing pattern of the ghost that caused this paranormal event is related to sound. No wonder so many people have died."

Li Hui secretly speculated.

It's not hard to guess, because the tongue is so directional; the only question is what the specific pattern of the killing is.

"Could it be like the ghost baby in the third stage? Or like the 'Silent' incident? Or something else entirely?"

Lacking crucial information, Li Hui couldn't fully deduce the vengeful ghost's killing patterns; the only thing he could be certain of was that it was related to 'sound'.

Tap tap, tap tap tap...

Soon, Li Hui walked up the stairs to the fifth floor.

The scene on this floor appears even more eerie.

Besides the fact that the number of corpses in the corridor was much higher, the surrounding walls were also more dilapidated than in other parts of the community, with pits and severe peeling of the paint.

Even the corridor floor has collapsed in many places, forming pits of varying sizes. If someone accidentally steps into one of these pits, they will fall through.

"It seems the vengeful ghost is on this floor."

Li Hui's expression shifted slightly. He glanced around at the surroundings and had already made up his mind, but instead of taking any rash action, he stood still and waited.

.........

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Go back a few minutes ago...

"You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to launch a surprise attack on me, Ye. Very well, don't think that I can't find you just because you're hiding in the shadows. Today, I'll let you devils see my abilities."

An unknown and eerie place.

Ye Zhen stood with his sword in hand in the middle of a dark path, his face grim and unpleasant; he was truly angry at this moment.

Originally, he and Li Hui were planning to enter Building 2, Unit 1 of the residential complex, but unexpectedly, they were attacked by a supernatural force as soon as they entered the lobby and ended up in this haunted place.

This is undoubtedly a very shameful thing.

After all, he just walked away and disappeared, and there were witnesses nearby. If this gets out, how will Ye face himself?
Therefore, Ye Zhen wanted to resolve the trouble here as soon as possible and then leave to reunite with Li Hui.

If he can't show off his unparalleled talent in front of Li Hui, then his invitation, which was originally intended to let him see his invincible brilliance, will turn into the biggest joke.

How could Ye possibly tolerate this?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen took action without saying a word.

With a swing of his longsword, supernatural forces invaded, attempting to tear everything in front of him apart.

The darkness before them was suddenly torn apart, and cracks appeared on the surface of the gloomy path, stretching far into the distance as if to destroy the entire eerie place.

However, the crack only extended for six or seven meters before stopping, as an even stronger supernatural force appeared, negating the supernatural influence of Ye Zhen's sword strike.

The cracks are healing rapidly, and the fissures in the ground are disappearing.

Moreover, on the other side of the dark path, a tall, human-shaped shadow stood there, as if blocking Ye Zhen's way.

The shadow was eerie, its entire body blurry and indistinct, making it difficult to see clearly. Moreover, the shadow gave Ye Zhen a very strange feeling.

It felt as if it were standing right in front of me, yet also as if it were incredibly far away. It was a very contradictory feeling, with the words "far" and "near"—two completely opposite concepts—unusually converging and intertwining at this moment.

"So it was you, you wretched thing, who was behind this? Very well, since you dared to show yourself, then I'll just kill you first before we leave!"

Upon seeing the shadow appear, Ye Zhen was not surprised but delighted. He snorted coldly and strode towards the shadow along the dark path, showing no fear whatsoever.

But after only a few steps, Ye Zhen realized something was wrong.

The strange feeling the shadow gave him was not an illusion.

Although the distance between the two seemed short, it was actually impossible to get closer using ordinary methods. Ye Zhen took several steps, but the distance between him and the shadow did not shorten at all, as if he were standing still.

"I have some skills, but not many. I will surely kill you today!" Ye Zhen remained confident and continued to stride forward.

As he moved forward, supernatural phenomena began to emerge within him, and the things around him were gradually distorted. He entered a deeper ghost realm, attempting to use his supernatural powers to see the truth of his surroundings.

Under the reflection of the ghost realm, the scene before Ye Zhen's eyes underwent a tremendous change.

The previously dark and deserted path was the first to change. Old streetlights suddenly appeared on both sides of the road; these streetlights didn't look modern, they must have been there for quite some time.

The streetlights were rusty, and the bulbs inside were broken. Even the few streetlights that looked relatively intact were now out of order.

On the other side of the path, the outline of an old house in the style of the Republic of China era came into view.

The old house was very dilapidated, seemingly due to years of neglect. Many parts had collapsed, and the outer walls were full of cracks, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Besides.

The entire old house seemed to be shrouded in a layer of darkness, with extremely poor lighting, giving it a gloomy feel from the outside!

And that tall shadow now stands in front of the gate of that old house from the Republican era.

"Indeed, this is the true appearance of this eerie place. It requires a deep ghost realm to invade, and only by truly entering here can one come into contact with what is inside."

See this.

Ye Zhen's confidence was even stronger.

Although he was slightly surprised that he couldn't leave the deeper ghost realm directly, it didn't matter. As long as he dealt with the supernatural elements there, he would naturally return to reality.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen quickened his pace.

The operation went smoothly this time, without the previous situation where it felt like he was standing still. The distance between him and the tall shadow was rapidly decreasing.

"Kill you!"

Just as he was about to reach the towering shadow, Ye Zhen swung his longsword out suddenly. Ghostly energy condensed on the blade, and the powerful supernatural force seemed to tear space apart as he slashed fiercely at the shadow's body.
