Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 69 Caesars Hotel (Please Subscribe)
Zshan City is located in southern China and is a large port city, bordering many other cities such as Dadong City, Xiaojiang City, Dashen City, Xiaohai City, Xiaoguan City, Da'ao City, and Xiangjiang City.

The Caesars Hotel is located in the bustling downtown area of ​​Z City and is a very famous hotel in the area.

"arrive."

As Li Hui's voice rang out, more than thirty figures appeared out of thin air on the street outside the Caesars Hotel, with Li Hui leading the way.

His ghostly domain spanned two places, and in the blink of an eye, it directly entered Z Mountain City from Dahan City.

Thanks to his mobile phone's navigation, Li Hui easily found the Caesars Hotel, and even had relevant tourist attraction guides and parking lot location information on his phone.

"Is that hotel our destination?"

Someone in the crowd raised a question.

This was the information they gleaned from Li Hui's gaze, as Li Hui's eyes were fixed intently on the hotel.

"Ah."

Li Hui nodded.

"The hotel itself is nothing special, but it is built in a special location that overlaps with a haunted place. It is a haunted hotel built by a top ghost master during the Republic of China era, and there are many vengeful ghosts inside."

He revealed some information, indicating that this operation was not simple.

“The Ghost Master of the Republic of China... Ghost Hotel... It sounds very similar to the Ghost Post Office,” said a beautiful young woman.

Although she looked very young, her clothes were quite old-fashioned, not modern, and more like something from the late Republican era, suggesting that the woman's real age was not as young as she appeared.

In fact, it wasn't just her; the appearances of all the dead were fixed, depending on their age when they delivered the mail at the Ghost Post Office.

Their original appearance and age when they left their mark in the painting will remain the same as their spirits. They are all products of the supernatural and will not grow old with the passage of time. Just like Yang Xiao in the crowd, he has remained a young man in his early twenties for decades.

"You're right."

Li Hui responded:

"The builders of the Ghost Hotel and the Ghost Post Office belonged to the same Ghost Tamer team, which was the top Ghost Tamer team during the Republic of China era. You stayed at the Ghost Post Office for so long, you must have had quite a few interactions with the post office administrator, right?"

Speaking of which.

Li Hui also became curious and turned to look at the group of dead souls behind him.

"Old Luo?"

Upon hearing this, the woman pondered for a moment before saying, "We don't know much about him. We only know that he appears after the messenger from the fifth floor has delivered three letters, allowing the messenger to leave his image in the painting."

"At other times, Old Luo didn't interact with us much. He always stayed in a place that only the administrator could enter. All we knew was that he went out a few months ago and never came back. Then the post office gradually started to get out of control..."

"Is that so?"

Li Hui's eyes flickered slightly. The woman's response was not much different from what Yang Xiao had said before, as well as what he himself knew, except that there would definitely be some differences in the details.

After all, there will inevitably be some differences between the real world and what is described in novels, because novels only present the tip of the iceberg of this world.

But Li Hui didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, he looked at the Caesars Hotel across the street again and led the group toward the hotel.

It wouldn't be accurate to say he left, because Li Hui merely took one step forward, and he, along with the thirty-odd wandering souls behind him, vanished from the spot.

However, this strange scene went unnoticed by passersby.

Li Hui and his group were in a deep ghost realm. Unless he actively revealed himself, not only ordinary people, but even ordinary ghost tamers could not see through him.

A hazy, ghostly aura enveloped the group, leading them directly into the Caesars Grand Hotel.

The hotel lobby was very large, and even though Li Hui and his group of more than thirty people appeared together, it did not feel crowded at all.

Besides.

The hotel's decor was grand and luxurious, with a dazzling array of gold and bright lights. At the time, the hotel was operating normally, and there were quite a few guests checking in.

Upon entering the lobby, Li Hui immediately spotted two young couples checking in at the service desk. Strangely, however, the four of them only booked one room.

The person who checked them in was a beautiful female receptionist in a uniform.

She wore a professional smile, and even though the four young people (two men and two women) had booked only one room, the receptionist showed no sign of anything amiss. After registering their ID cards, she handed them a room key.

"This hotel looks normal, with no signs of ghostly activity. Is the supernatural hidden deep within, and hasn't yet managed to invade the real world from that haunted place?"

Some of the dead have raised this question.

"These are all just appearances."

Upon hearing this, Li Hui said, "This hotel is destined to be anything but peaceful because it overlaps with a supernatural place established by a top ghost-controlling master during the Republic of China era. Sometimes what looks normal is precisely what makes it most abnormal."

"Just like that unfinished building in Dahan City that overlaps with the Ghost Post Office, even if it is successfully built, there will be problems later."

talking.

Li Hui waved his hand.

Amidst the drifting ashes of paper, a figure passed through the ceiling above the lobby on the first floor, falling directly from the top of the hotel and crashing heavily onto the lobby floor.

It was a headless corpse, only the body remained, the head was gone, and the bright red blood stained the clothes he was wearing a vivid red.

The body was found in a guest room on the fourth floor of the hotel.

Li Hui's ghostly aura enveloped the entire hotel, exposing the scenes on all floors, including the guest rooms, to his view. He immediately noticed the anomaly.

"There are residual supernatural auras on the corpses. The vengeful ghost has already started moving around in this hotel. However, the casualties caused have not yet been discovered. The vengeful ghost should have only recently invaded the real world, so the hotel is still operating normally."

Yang Xiao, who was standing to the side, offered his opinion.

"The body is here, but where's the head?" someone asked curiously.

If the head were also inside the hotel, Li Hui would definitely have taken it off as well. Now that we only see the body and not the head, it proves that the head is not inside the hotel.

"Up there."

Li Hui looked up at the hotel. Under the influence of the supernatural power of the Ghost Domain, the walls could not block his view, so Li Hui's gaze was directed towards the sky above.

Above?
Everyone else was taken aback upon hearing this, and almost instinctively looked up. However, their gazes could not ignore the obstruction of the building like Li Hui's. What came into view was the ceiling of the hotel lobby on the first floor.

That is why the spirits did not understand what Li Hui meant by "above," and thought that the headless corpse's head was in a hotel room upstairs.

See this.

Li Hui had no intention of explaining and began to perceive everything within his ghost realm.

He was searching for the vengeful ghost in the hotel, not just for Li Qingzhi, but also for Yang Jian's ghost father.

That's the newspaper ghost!

He only thought of this after arriving at the Caesars Hotel; the newspaper ghost that could only alter memories should have been in the hotel at this time.

That vengeful ghost was special; it could not only alter the memories of the living, but also modify the instincts of other vengeful ghosts, thus forcibly changing their behavior patterns.

In the original novel, the blood-stained old newspaper was of great help to Yang Jian.

Li Hui didn't mean to take it for himself, but it was fine to borrow it for now, and it wouldn't have any impact on Yang Jian's future development.

"No?"

However, after carefully sensing the surroundings, Li Hui frowned slightly, as neither Li Qingzhi's corpse nor the newspaper ghost could be found.

He searched the entire hotel, but the ghostly aura was spreading and ashes were floating everywhere. No matter which floor of the hotel it was, whether it was the second, third, fourth, or fifth floor, there was no sign of any evil spirits.

It seemed that the only unusual thing about the entire Caesars Hotel was the headless corpse he had just taken down from a fourth-floor room; apart from that, there were no other supernatural occurrences.

"Is it in that haunted hotel?"

Li Hui guessed.

The next moment, he led everyone past the first three floors of the Caesars Hotel and into the corridor on the fourth floor.

The passageway wasn't narrow; it was wide enough for three or four people to walk side by side, but it clearly couldn't accommodate more than thirty people all at once. Yet, Li Hui and his group still stood there.

This was an extremely bizarre scene.

The aisle area did not expand, nor did it shrink, but the aisle successfully accommodated them, and it could not even be called crowded. However, the scene seemed very strange and awkward.

"The passage leading to the haunted hotel is special; it doesn't appear within the ghost realm. To find it, the ghost realm must be closed."

Thinking of this, Li Hui turned around and greeted the departed souls. Then, he waved his hand, and all the departed souls disappeared instantly, replaced by a portrait.

The portrait was over a meter tall, and the figures in it were Yang Xiao and his companions. The background was a brightly lit corridor, and you could clearly see that there were guest rooms on both sides of the corridor, each with a room number on it.

Then Li Hui began to reclaim the Ghost Domain, and the ashes that filled the sky gradually dissipated, along with the portrait of a person taller than a person.

After doing all this, Li Hui began to move, walking through the corridor on the fourth floor, searching for the passage that led to the haunted hotel.

The location of that passage is described very vaguely in the original work. It is only known that it is at a certain corner of the passage, but the exact location is not described in detail.

As Li Hui walked, he ventured deeper into the corridor, and the room numbers on both sides began to grow larger and larger.

He had previously explored the ghost realm and found no supernatural presence in these guest rooms. Therefore, Li Hui was not worried that the guest rooms would be suddenly opened and a vengeful ghost would rush out when he passed by.

However, just as Li Hui turned another corner, his steps suddenly stopped.

The scene before him had changed. Although it was still a corridor, the environment was extremely dark, a stark contrast to the brightly lit hotel.

The passageway was unlit, stretching into the depths of darkness, a place where the hotel's light could not reach.

Standing at the entrance of the passage felt like standing at the entrance to hell; an inexplicable chill unconsciously enveloped Li Hui's entire body.

"found it."

"This is the passage!"

Seeing this, Li Hui did not hesitate at all and stepped directly into the dimly lit passage in front of him.

Just as Li Hui stepped into the passage.

real world.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters.

A large passenger plane broke through the clouds and flew quickly from a distance, entering the high-altitude area directly above the Caesars Hotel.

Most of the passengers in the cabin were drowsy, but there was an exception. In a window seat in economy class, sat a little boy who looked about six or seven years old.

The boy seemed to be flying for the first time, showing great curiosity about new things. He looked around the cabin before turning his gaze to the outside of the window.

"Mom, there's someone outside the window."

suddenly.

The little boy seemed to have discovered something and called out to the woman sitting next to him.

"Dongdong, be good, don't make a fuss, don't disturb your uncles and aunts' rest. We'll be in your dad's city in another hour."

The woman didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't even open her eyes, clearly thinking that her son was being naughty and playing a prank on her.

After all, they are sitting on an airplane at an altitude of 10,000 meters, where you can hardly see any birds, so how could there be any people?

"Mommy, it's true! Look, there really is someone lying outside the window!" the little boy continued shouting.

"Whose naughty child is this? Parents, please keep an eye on him. Playing is fine, but don't disturb other people's rest."

One passenger said impatiently.

"I'm sorry, my child is young and doesn't know any better. He's disturbing everyone," the woman said, her expression not very pleasant. But when she realized that it was indeed her child who was disturbing the other passengers' rest, she chose not to argue with the man.

Then the woman turned to the little boy and said, "Dongdong, didn't Mommy tell you not to make noise on the plane? You'll see Daddy soon, and then Daddy will take you to the amusement park, okay?"

"Mom, I'm not lying to you. See for yourself if you don't believe me." The boy became anxious when he saw that his mother didn't believe him.

"Okay, okay, Dongdong is the best boy. Mom believes you didn't lie to Mom."

As she spoke, the woman leaned forward symbolically and looked out the window.

However, after just one glance, the woman froze on the spot, a chill running through her mind.

Just below the airplane window, a person was floating—or rather, a human head was floating.

The facial features were clearly visible; it was the head of a middle-aged man, pale-faced with wide-open eyes, pressed against the bottom of the window glass, seemingly staring at the people inside the cabin.

"Ah~!"

The moment the woman's gaze met the man's, she immediately woke up, her face turning deathly pale with fright. She screamed and slumped back into her airplane seat.

"What's wrong with you two? The child is making noise, and you're joining in. Are you deliberately trying to prevent us from getting any rest?"

The impatient passenger's voice rang out again, now tinged with anger and clearly showing his dissatisfaction.

However, the woman did not respond to the passenger's words at all. She just stared out the window in terror and stammered, "Ghost... there's a ghost outside the window!"

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

Almost at the same time, the sound of breaking glass came from the plane window, followed by a strong gust of wind that rushed in. The cabin instantly lost its balance, the air pressure changed drastically, and screams and cries of agony filled the cabin.

Especially the little boy named Dongdong who was sitting by the window, he was sucked out the moment the window glass shattered.

What's even more terrifying is.

The floating human head outside entered the cabin through the broken window.
