Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 287 Wise Ghosts, Dead Cities

"Ok?"

Shen Lin was suddenly startled.

What was happening before his eyes was clearly beyond his expectations.

He didn't expect that his attack would not only have no effect, but even his supernatural weapon would shatter and break apart when it touched the ghost's body.

What's even more terrifying is that the vengeful ghost has now begun to attack him in return.

Zhang Dong's slowly raised, withered hand gave Shen Lin an extremely dangerous feeling. He felt that the supernatural power he controlled was about to fall silent at this moment.

This was clearly not a good omen, foreshadowing the terror of the vengeful ghost before him.

next moment.

Sensing something was wrong, Shen Lin immediately retreated rapidly, and during this process, his body gradually became illusory, as if he wanted to escape the real world through some kind of supernatural ability.

At the same time, the other captains around also took action.

A chilling atmosphere spread, eeriness extended, and supernatural phenomena began to emerge. At this moment, all the captains attacked simultaneously, and various supernatural attacks were directed at Zhang Dong's body after the ghost had been resurrected.

This scene was truly astonishing.

With several top contemporary ghost tamers joining forces, along with dozens of paper figures that also possess supernatural powers, few in the entire paranormal community could withstand their attack. Even a real vengeful ghost would fall silent in an instant.

Yet, this terrifying attack had no effect on Zhang Dong, who was resurrected as a vengeful ghost after death. In fact, it did nothing at all; the supernatural attacks vanished the moment they touched its body, as if nothing had ever happened.

This scene was extremely terrifying, as if any terrifying supernatural power would vanish in front of this old man, as if he could suppress all supernatural phenomena.

"Are you kidding me?"

"How can this be!"

Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked. They had expected the old man's ghost to be terrifying after it resurrected, but they never imagined it could be this terrifying.

However, the vengeful ghost did not stop its actions despite the shock of the crowd.

At this moment, Zhang Dong's thin, raised hand began to move. The movement was not large, and it looked like he was waving goodbye to someone, or wiping something in the air in front of him.

However, such an action was seen as a death knell by the team captains, making them truly feel the crisis and the extreme threat of death.

"Damn it, we misjudged the terror of this vengeful ghost, and we also underestimated the other one!"

At this moment, Cao Yang and the others suddenly realized what was happening.

"The vengeful spirit that emerged from the coffin has already gained intelligence. The reason we appeared here as soon as we invaded is clearly a trap set by that vengeful spirit. It wants us to fight against it. In the end, whether we imprison the vengeful spirit or we are killed by it, it will be the biggest winner!"

This line of reasoning left everyone speechless.

They had encountered intelligent and vengeful ghosts before.

Previously, when facing the King Organization, Li Hui had said that the King, codenamed Captain, was a vengeful ghost with intelligence, who had been lurking in the King Organization, attempting to incite a conflict between the ghost tamers of the East and the West.

They seem to have encountered another intelligent and vengeful ghost, even more terrifying than the captain. The growth characteristics of the ghost nurtured by the ghost coffin are too frightening. Given time, even Li Hui, who is known as the 'strongest ghost tamer,' will probably be unable to defeat it.

of course.

These are just guesses from a few people.

And right now they are facing the biggest life-or-death crisis in history.

As Zhang Dong, now resurrected as a vengeful spirit, began to wave his hand, a terrifying supernatural force immediately began to affect the surroundings…

Almost the instant Zhang Dong made his move.

the other side.

Not far from the open space.

The terrifying figure, which had been walking forward with dark blue skin, a horrifying dead man's head on its head, and a bulging belly, stopped in its tracks. Then, its cold, terrifying black eyes looked in the direction where Zhang Dong and the group of captains were.

obviously.

This figure was Cao Yang and his companions' true target, the source of this darkness, a terrifying and extremely vengeful ghost.

However, the vengeful ghost at this moment was somewhat different from before, and was even more terrifying than when it first came back to life.

Especially its belly, the bulge is frighteningly large.

Even pregnant women who are ten months pregnant and carrying multiple babies at the same time don't have such exaggerated bellies.

Even more terrifying is its belly, which is constantly writhing, as if something is struggling inside. Sometimes, horrifying outlines resembling human faces can even bulge out on its belly.

In addition, the expression on the face of the starving ghost was also very strange.

When he looked at the open space where the team leaders were, a strange smile appeared on his face. It was a very creepy look, but it also revealed a human-like mockery.

But the smile on its face quickly disappeared, and it started moving again, heading towards the old forest in front of it.

Every tree here is a manifestation of a vengeful ghost, now all prey for the starving ghost. As it devours everything, its own terror increases at an incredible rate, seemingly without limit.

There are hundreds or even thousands of trees here, and with so many vengeful ghosts to devour, you can imagine how fast the starving ghosts grow.

Also.

Extremely terrifying scenes also appeared inside the cities covered by its ghostly domain.

Many women's bellies have started to swell at a visible rate, making them look like they've become pregnant.

However, the speed at which their bellies swelled was abnormal; in just a short time, it was as if they were ten months pregnant.

"Tear~"

Inside a residential building in a city.

A woman's abdomen was ripped open, the wound running from the inside out, as if the baby inside her was about to be born. The immense pain caused the woman to faint after only managing to let out a scream.

"Wow~Wow~"

Then the sound of a baby crying rang out.

An infant, about the size of a three-year-old child, with dark blue-black skin, crawled out of the woman's ruptured belly.

The baby had sharp fingernails on its hands and eyes as black as ink, without pupils. The moment it crawled out, it began to look around.

This is the first stage of the ghost baby!
They are also slaves of starving ghosts!

Unlike other vengeful ghosts, the conditions for the birth of a hungry ghost's servant are extremely simple. As long as one breathes the air in the ghost realm, the eerie mist can cause a living person to conceive a ghost child.

Furthermore, because the starving ghosts at this moment combined the supernatural abilities of the ghost messengers and devoured a large number of other vengeful ghosts, the ghost infants inside those living people could take shape instantly, without needing the 'gestation' process that existed in Dachang City before.

"Click," "click," "click"...

A chewing sound rang out.

The first-stage ghost infant burst out of the abdomen and began to devour the woman's corpse beneath it, and in the process, its body grew at a visible speed.

After finally devouring the woman's corpse, the ghost baby began to crawl outside, leaving behind only a pool of blood and a trail of crawling marks and handprints.

After leaving the residential building, the ghost baby began attacking passersby it encountered. The pitch-black environment around it did not seem to affect its vision; on the contrary, the ghost baby moved even faster in this environment.

"Ah~"

The shrill screams came one after another.

Clearly, there was more than one successfully conceived ghost infant; rather, ghost infants were conceived in various corners of the city, and in a very short time, they escaped from the wombs of the women carrying them, then attacked every living person they saw.

this moment.

Ghost infants were everywhere in the streets and alleys. They crawled and attacked everyone they saw in the city, and in a short time, they swallowed all the corpses of those people into their bellies.

Furthermore, with each corpse they devour, these ghost infants grow larger, growing at an extremely unscientific rate.

In a short period of time.

The entire city suffered heavy casualties.

This accelerated the growth of the ghost infants, and it wasn't just the first-stage ghost infants anymore; as time went by, even the second and third-stage ghost infants began to slowly appear.

Compared to the infant appearance of the first stage, the ghost infant of the second stage is already a seven or eight-year-old child, or even an eleven or twelve-year-old teenager, and the ghost infant of the third stage has grown directly into a teenager.

This form of ghost infant is far more terrifying than the first-stage ghost infant in terms of both mobility and speed, and poses a greater threat to ordinary people.

The second-stage ghost infants are relatively harmless because their killing pattern requires contact with living people, and triggering their killing pattern is not as simple as that of the first-stage ghost infants. However, the third-stage ghost infants kill based on hearing; as long as they hear someone make a sound, they will be targeted by them, making them extremely dangerous.

under these circumstances.

The number of casualties in the city is skyrocketing, the number of living people is decreasing and dying, while ghost babies are still being created in an endless stream, with more and more ghost babies being 'born' by people.

The surrounding cities, which were covered by the ghost domain, began to die one after another.

However, all of this took place only within the Ghost Realm, and the outside world knew nothing about it.

Especially Li Hui.

At this moment, he was not even in the real world, but on the Yin-Yang Path in the supernatural land. He was going deeper and deeper, wanting to follow this Yin-Yang Path to reach another supernatural world to take a look.
