Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 55 Old Master Qin's Warning (Please Subscribe)

"Are you kidding me?!"

Xu Qiuyu's expression changed drastically.

"I haven't even encountered a real vengeful ghost yet. How could I have lost the ability to resist just from the ashes of paper scattered in the ghost realm?"

this moment.

No matter how Xu Qiuyu urged him, the vengeful spirit within him did not react at all, as if he were just an ordinary person, and the supernatural power within him had vanished without a trace.

Normally, when the vengeful spirit within her is dormant and the supernatural power disappears, Xu Qiuyu would feel overjoyed, feeling that she has escaped the torment of the vengeful spirit's resurgence.

But at this moment, this phenomenon only made him feel more powerless and desperate.

Let alone a real vengeful ghost, even a ghost servant with supernatural powers could easily kill him now.

Ordinary people's power is so powerless in the face of supernatural power.

"What should we do now? The ghost realm has already covered this city. The vengeful spirits could move at any moment, and I could die at any moment..."

Xu Qiuyu appeared very panicked. The heroic spirit he had shown earlier vanished at this moment. No one can calmly face death.

He was indeed somewhat at a loss at that moment.

Past experience in dealing with paranormal events was completely useless at this moment.

Although Xu Qiuyu is the city's head, he has only encountered two or three paranormal events so far, and they were all small-scale paranormal events with little degree of harm or terror from the ghosts themselves.

The current situation is somewhat beyond his comprehension.

Before this, although he knew that S-level supernatural events were terrifying, the exact extent of their horror remained a vague point. However, now he understood that the supernatural manifestations within the Ghost Realm alone had completely suppressed the vengeful spirit he was controlling.

"Beep beep..."

Just then, a cell phone vibrated from his pocket.

He took out the satellite positioning phone issued by headquarters and found that the caller was his personal operator.

The cell phone had been specially treated to avoid interference from supernatural forces, so Xu Qiuyu was not surprised that the call could be made.

After pressing the answer button, a sweet female voice quickly came from the other end of the phone, but the voice sounded a little hurried, as if she had just finished strenuous exercise.

"Xu Qiuyu, how are things on your end? Tell me the general situation. I've already gone to see Captain Zhao, and he said he'll arrange the support. You have to hold on."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light appeared in Xu Qiuyu's bewildered and terrified eyes.

Yes, even if I can't handle this large-scale paranormal event, there are other powerful ghost controllers at headquarters. I just need to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

As for whether the headquarters had any ghost controllers capable of handling large-scale S-level paranormal events, Xu Qiuyu didn't even consider that possibility; to be precise, he didn't want to think about it.

People always need to leave themselves a glimmer of hope, right?

Thinking it over, Xu Qiuyu replied, "My situation is very bad. The entire city is covered by a ghost domain. The ashes falling from the sky seem to carry a supernatural curse, and the vengeful spirit I control has been directly suppressed!"

"..."

At the same time that Xu Qiuyu was talking to his personal operator.

Deep within this gray, ghostly world, thousands of meters above the ground, Li Hui's figure floated silently, standing in mid-air without stepping on anything.

The fierce wind blew wildly around him, and the air currents seemed to be trying to sweep him away, but he remained motionless, as if he was not affected at all.

Dense, paper-ash-like substances floated around Li Hui's body, enveloping him completely and making his figure indistinct and difficult to see clearly.

now.

Under the cover of the seventy percent of ghostly and supernatural ghost domain that he controlled, everything around was enveloped, including walls, the ground, and various buildings in the city... none of them could resist his invasion.

The city's most authentic side was revealed to Li Hui. At this moment, Xiaozhou City held no secrets from him.

The reason Li Hui used the ghost domain to cover the city was not to place oil paintings with ghostly or supernatural elements into the city, as he had done with American cities before.

He did this for two reasons.

One of them wanted to see the city's spooky layout.

He knew he had caused a huge incident, and he had made no attempt to conceal his whereabouts. There was no guarantee that someone might be plotting to attack him the moment he landed on Chinese soil and let his guard down.

This situation was not impossible, so Li Hui directly enveloped the area with his Ghost Domain. Under the coverage of his Ghost Domain, no ghost tamer or vengeful ghost could hide their form.

Apart from the safe house made of gold, which could isolate him from the influence of supernatural forces, nothing else could escape his perception.

Besides.

There is a second reason.

This is also the most important reason.

That is to say, traveling through the ghost realm can indeed be addictive, and that is without the risk of the vengeful ghosts resurrecting. If it were anyone else, they would probably do the same thing.

After all, he had already gotten rid of the ghost painting's entanglement and was not in a hurry to travel. His destination this time was Dahan City, but he could also visit the scenery of other cities along the way.

Otherwise, given the range and strength of his ghost domain, if it were to extend in a straight line, it could circle the entire world several times in an instant.

"Ordinary people cannot perceive my ghost domain. To them, the environment may appear slightly darker, but the overall situation remains unchanged."

"Only those who truly possess supernatural abilities can see the true appearance of the ghost realm and be pulled into my ghost realm..."

Li Hui's gaze swept across the city streets below.

Ordinary people were busy making a living and did not realize that their city had been covered by the ghost domain, because in their eyes, Xiaozhou City was still the city they knew and was no different.

The city scene seen by Xu Qiuyu, the city's head, was like two different worlds.

This is another way of using the power of the Ghost Painting Ghost Realm. The principle is not difficult to understand. The Ghost Realm is divided into sections, and ordinary people are placed in the background world of a derivative oil painting, which is a portrait with Xiaozhou City as the background.

Those possessing supernatural abilities or vengeful spirits are pulled into the true ghost realm.

This is similar to the nature of derivative oil paintings of ghost paintings as well as the original ghost paintings.

Li Hui remembers.

In the original novel, Yang Jian went to Dajing City to attend a meeting, and then encountered Fang Shiming's cursed scissors, which cut his head in half.

Subsequently, under the protection of the music box curse, his consciousness did not immediately dissipate, and with Huang Xiaoya's help, he regained control of his body.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Jian opened the Ghost Domain, covering most of the Great Capital City and dividing the city's inhabitants into three layers: ordinary people lived in the first layer of the Ghost Domain, ghost tamers in the second layer, and he himself was in the third layer.

Li Hui's current situation is somewhat similar to this, but also different. The layering of the Ghost Realm is a characteristic of the Ghost Eye. Each additional eye represents a higher level of the Ghost Realm.

Then actually.

Other vengeful spirits or the ghost realms of ghost tamers do not have levels, only intensity.

When the supernatural power of the ghost realm is strong enough, the area it can cover will be larger, even completely affecting reality, or even directly restarting it.

This is the ghost realm that Li Hui controls.

There is no layered approach.

He can divide his own ghost realm, just like he blocked the ghost painting before, and then create derivative oil paintings with supernatural spaces. However, he cannot say that the supernatural spaces in those oil paintings are his second or third ghost realm...

"Is that person the person in charge of this city?"

While thinking.

Li Hui turned his gaze to the only Ghost Master in his Ghost Domain, whose strength seemed too weak to him.

Faced with his own provocation, the man was unable to put up even the most basic resistance. The vengeful spirits he controlled were instantly suppressed, and he fell into silence.

His method for suppressing Xu Qiuyu was something he had just figured out.

The supernatural power of the bus was imbued into the ashes of the paper money that were fluttering in the air.

Although the supernatural intensity of the bus was dispersed into countless parts, far less intense than when it was concentrated, the results of the experiment were not disappointing; it was just that the desired effect was not achieved.

At least.

The vengeful spirit inside the city official below was easily suppressed, and he had no ability to resist.

"Dingling bell~"

suddenly.

Li Hui heard his cell phone ringing in his pocket.

Curious, he took it out and saw that the caller ID displayed a string of numbers. Moreover, Li Hui vaguely remembered that this caller ID seemed to have called him once not long ago.

At that time, he was in Dahai City, busy escaping the ghost realm of the ghost painting, and hung up immediately. He didn't expect the call to come back now.

"Could it be a call from the Ghost Tamer headquarters?"

Li Hui secretly guessed.

If he were on Earth, seeing such a code number would lead him to classify it as a nuisance call without hesitation, but in this mysteriously revived world, things might be different.

He remembered that the original book mentioned that the headquarters' number seemed to be a string of code plus numbers.

As for why Li Hui felt that the Ghost Riders headquarters was looking for him, it was because he knew that with the headquarters' capabilities, they knew what he had done in Dahai City, and at the very least, they knew that he had fought with Ye Zhen.

Given his understanding of the headquarters' eagerness to recruit talent, there's a high probability they'd like to invite him to join.

As for the extent to which the Ghost Masters headquarters knew about him, and whether they were aware that he was the one who lured the Ghost Painting out of the country, Li Hui had no idea.

After thinking for a moment, Li Hui finally pressed the answer button.

The moment the call connected, a middle-aged man's voice came from the other end: "Hello, is this Li Hui?"

"Ah."

Li Hui responded.

Then Cao Yanhua's voice came again.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Cao Yanhua, the deputy minister of the China Ghost Tamer Headquarters. I'm calling to ask you a question and to invite you to join the headquarters. We..."

However, Li Hui didn't hear a word Cao Yanhua said. His expression changed slightly, and his attention was focused on the street ahead.

The dim lights converged.

A path that does not exist in reality or in his ghost realm has appeared.

Then a car horn sounded. An old, eerie bus appeared out of thin air in the city, then ignored the walls and the obstacles of his ghostly aura, and kept driving forward.

The most important thing is.

In the driver's seat of the eerie bus sat an elderly man wearing a gray coat, with age spots all over his face and a slightly hunched back.

"Mr. Qin?"

The moment Li Hui saw the old man, even though he had never met Qin Lao before, he recognized him.

Because he himself is also a supernatural bus driver, he has a weak connection with buses and can clearly sense that the old man is also a bus driver.

"But... why is he driving the supernatural bus again at this time, and why is he here?"
