Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 78 Attempt to Detain, The Tattoo's Strange Movement
In a gloomy and dimly lit secret room underground at Hongfa Temple, Li Hui looked at the tall, dark shadow hanging upside down on the white bone tree not far ahead, and a wary expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, in this closed, secret room, a strange, eerie wind was blowing incessantly. The wind wasn't strong, but it was unusually cold and carried some unknown supernatural energy. Even the constantly drifting ashes of paper seemed to be affected at this moment.

"That vengeful ghost...it's terrifying!"

Behind Li Hui, a ghost with a solemn expression said something that was full of fear of the Lord of the Ghost Eye.

“If it’s not necessary, I don’t really recommend you touch it. If things go wrong, we could all die here. Compared to that, I’d rather deal with the source of the evil spirit in the outside world directly.”

The spirit of the dead offered this advice to Li Hui.

It was a very special feeling. These souls were also products of the supernatural and were extremely sensitive to supernatural auras. Although they had not made direct contact with the Lord of the Ghost Eyes, they had already vaguely sensed the terror of the other party.

"I am determined to get that coffin nail stuck in that vengeful ghost."

Li Hui said, "It's not just about imprisoning the vengeful ghost in Dachang City. If I can get my hands on that coffin nail, my subsequent actions will be much smoother. The coffin nail will be even more helpful to me than the woodcutter's knife."

"As for that tall, dark figure, we don't need to worry about it too much. The probability of it attacking us is not very high. Even if it does attack us, we can just find another way to imprison it."

"With our combined strength, there's no reason for us to fear this vengeful ghost. Besides, it's been imprisoned for so long, it will take time to fully recover, and that's enough time for us to do a lot."

Despite saying that, Li Hui's vigilance did not diminish at all.

The existence of the Lord of the Demon Eyes is too special. In the original work, even in the finale, its origin was not explained, making it seem very mysterious.

Moreover, the Lord of the Ghost Eyes seems to possess self-awareness and intelligence, as evidenced by the fact that it has not caused any trouble since escaping its confinement. Other vengeful spirits, who are driven only by instinct, would obviously not be like this.

How do you plan to remove the coffin nails?

at this time.

Yang Xiao spoke up.

He looked at Li Hui with a serious expression, and then slowly said, "Besides that black shadow, everything else on that bone tree also bears traces of supernatural power."

"Whether it's a dried-up human head, an old rag... or even that white bone tree itself, they are all manifestations of the supernatural. Have you ever thought about taking them into your ghost realm?"

"The supernatural aspects of Ghost Painting are very unique; the Ghost Realm is just like a real world."

Yang Xiao continued, "And since you have mastered the supernatural power of the Ghost Painting, your Ghost Realm is like a natural container for imprisoning vengeful ghosts."

"Taking vengeful spirits into your ghost realm is not only a way to imprison them, but also an way to increase the terror of your own ghost realm. Because those vengeful spirits are unable to leave the ghost realm of the ghost painting, they will become part of your ghost realm, similar to the derivative paintings in the ghost painting."

“I saw that you did the same thing in Z City before, turning those heads and the ghost reading the newspaper into an oil painting. So have you ever thought about imprisoning the ghost in this secret room in your ghost realm as well?”

Hear the words.

Li Hui was stunned.

Yang Xiao's words made him realize something immediately. Before, Li Hui only thought about taking the coffin nails and leaving, his mind filled with fear of the Lord of the Ghost Eye, but he never thought of taking it along with the White Bone Tree.

Yang Xiao's words have now 'awakened' him. After careful consideration, Li Hui felt that what Yang Xiao said was quite feasible. If successful, his Ghost Domain would become even more terrifying.

As long as the Lord of Ghost Eyes and the White Bone Tree cannot leave his Ghost Domain, it is no different from Li Hui indirectly controlling them.

In the future, whether facing other vengeful ghosts or ghost tamers, they can be sent to the Lord of Ghost Eyes first. The scene must be very exciting.

Think of this.

Li Hui immediately took action.

He waved his hand rapidly in the direction of the bone tree, as if he were drawing a portrait out of thin air.

At the same time, dense ashes continued to drift, and the eerie atmosphere of the ghost painting affected the surrounding environment.

The whole world seemed to be distorted at this moment. Everything in the secret room seemed to be under tremendous pressure. Things were converging towards the same point, and everything was getting smaller, as if they were condensing into a portrait.

But this process is not easy.

Other supernatural phenomena were spreading within this secret room, affecting Li Hui's ghost realm, but not to the point of suppressing it; they merely hindered his movements to some extent.

Especially that bone tree with its stark white bones.

The level of terror it displayed was exceptionally high, and under the eerie influence of the White Bone Tree, the oil painting was delayed in taking shape.

There is also the Lord of the Demon Eyes, who was nailed to the Bone Tree by coffin nails.

When Li Hui's ghost domain covered the area, the gray paper ash was immediately distorted, even though the other party was suppressed by the coffin nails and the white bone tree.

"It's hard to imagine how terrifying the Lord of the Ghost Eyes would be after it's fully revived. It's a vengeful ghost that's almost a complete puzzle, only missing its eyes. Even the coffin nails couldn't completely nail down its supernatural power. It takes the White Bone Tree to restrain its movements!"

A glint of light flashed in Li Hui's eyes.

next moment.

The supernatural elements on 30% of the buses were superimposed on the hazy, ghostly realm.

This supernatural superimposition is already comparable to a complete ghost painting, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to pull the mutually restrictive Bone Tree and the Lord of Ghost Eyes into his ghost realm.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Li Hui had predicted.

With the addition of the supernatural elements from the bus, the skeletal tree rapidly shrinks, and the scene changes.

The scene was as if a three-dimensional creature had been transformed into an object in a two-dimensional painting, with everything on the tree becoming an oil painting taller than a person.

The scene in the painting is the dimly lit secret room where Li Hui and his group are currently located. In the very center of the secret room grows a white bone tree, with many strange things hanging on it.

"Is this okay?"

"It actually succeeded?"

Seeing this scene, the group of dead souls behind Li Hui instantly became unsettled, their faces showing astonishment, and they began to discuss among themselves.

Li Hui paid no attention to the discussions of the crowd. He stepped forward and walked into the oil painting that was taller than a person.

Everything in the painting is exactly the same as the secret room outside, with no difference whatsoever. The only difference is that this is the manifestation of his supernatural powers.

In other words.

This is his home court.

Yang Xiao and others entered the painting with Li Hui. Under their watchful eyes, Li Hui walked straight to the white bone tree and reached out his palm to grab the chest of the tall, dark figure.

A coffin nail, as thick as an adult's arm, was driven into the chest of the tall, dark figure. The nail looked very old, covered in rust, and seemed to have been there for a long time.

"Clap!"

Li Hui's right hand gripped one end of the coffin nail, and it felt icy cold to the touch, as if he were holding a block of ice.

"I hope everything goes smoothly, just like Yang Jian in the original story, and that I won't be attacked after pulling out this nail!" Li Hui muttered to himself, then exerted force and began to pull it out.

The process of pulling out the nails went surprisingly smoothly. Li Hui didn't even have to use much force; the coffin nails were pulled out directly.

But the next moment.

Something strange happened.

As soon as the rusty coffin nails left the body of the Lord of the Ghost Eyes, the Lord of the Ghost Eyes, who had been hanging upside down on the Bone Tree, was directly detached from the Bone Tree and stood on the bluestone floor tiles of the secret chamber.

The ever-blowing cold wind intensified at this moment, carrying a strange, indescribable odor. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees, and the ashes from the paper began to fall much more slowly.

at the same time.

An unknown supernatural power spread from the Lord of Ghost Eyes outwards, affecting Li Hui's ghost domain. The entire secret room became unstable, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Are you kidding me? It's only just recovered and it's already causing trouble. Its own supernatural abilities haven't even recovered to their peak yet, and it's already had such a big impact on my Ghost Realm?"

Li Hui narrowed his eyes, his gaze warily fixed on the body of the Lord of Ghost Eyes before him. His right hand, gripping the coffin nail, tightened unconsciously, ready to stab out at any moment.

This secret room is a manifestation of Li Hui's ghostly realm and a derivative oil painting.

If the secret chamber collapses, it proves that the derivative painting has been destroyed, and the vengeful ghost is not restricted by his ghost realm. It is very likely that he will leave his ghost realm and appear in the real world.

"Something's not right. Is it possible that Li Hui's ghost domain isn't able to completely contain this vengeful spirit?"

See this.

Yang Xiao's expression changed, and he was ready to act at any moment. At the same time, he shouted loudly to Li Hui's location: "Li Hui, don't hesitate. If there is any sign of losing control, immediately drive the coffin nails back into the ghost's body."

“Our initial assessment of it was flawed; the horror of this vengeful ghost far exceeded all of our expectations!”

It's not just him.

The other ghosts who witnessed this scene also wore expressions of serious readiness, ready to strike at any moment.

the other side.

Li Hui did not respond to Yang Xiao. His gaze was fixed on the tall, dark figure in front of him, his expression one of shock, and cold sweat even broke out on his forehead.

this moment.

Even with the coffin nails in his hand, Li Hui felt no sense of security, because he realized that things were starting to slip out of his control.

The towering figure of the Lord of the Ghost Eyes appeared to be standing right in front of him, in the secret chamber depicted in the painting, but in reality, it had already separated and was no longer within his ghost realm.

Simply put, he can see the Lord of the Demon Eyes, but the Lord's figure is not in his demon realm.

Not only the Lord of the Demon Eyes, but even the bone tree with its stark white bones is like this.

In Li Hui's perception of the ghost realm, there was nothing in front of him, not even the Lord of the Ghost Eye or the White Bone Tree.

This situation gave Li Hui the idea of ​​directly inserting the coffin nails back into the body of the Lord of the Ghost Eyes.

And that's exactly what he did.

The rusty coffin nails suddenly pierced out, heading straight for the tall, dark figure in front of him.

But the result disappointed Li Hui.

The coffin nails failed to pierce the Lord of the Ghost Eyes.

Just as the nail was about to pierce its body, the Lord of Ghost Eyes suddenly raised its head and glanced at Li Hui. Its face was very blurry, and its features were indistinct. It had the outline of a human, but no human features, as if it were just a shadowy figure formed from black shadows.

Immediately afterwards, the Lord of the Ghost Eyes vanished from the spot, along with the bone tree, its white bones standing bare.

Their disappearance was very abrupt.

Li Hui did not feel that his ghost realm had been invaded or torn apart.

The disappearance of the Lord of the Ghost Eyes and the White Bone Tree did not seem like a supernatural invasion, but rather some unknown supernatural manifestation that bypassed Li Hui's Ghost Domain and left in an unknown way.

Of course, it's also possible that the Lord of Ghost Eyes and the White Bone Tree haven't actually left and are still present in his Ghost Realm, but he simply can't perceive their existence.

Almost at the same time that the Lord of the Ghost Eyes and the Bone Tree disappeared, the cell phone tattoo on the back of Li Hui's hand began to react.

A crimson light shone, illuminating the dim surroundings. Everything except Li Hui was frozen in time, including the group of dead souls and their consciousness.

"Are they going to replicate the third kind of supernatural phenomenon?" Li Hui's eyes lit up, and he felt a sense of anticipation, but he soon realized something was wrong.

Because within the scarlet light emitted by the phone tattoo, there was also a hint of black—an extreme black that even the vibrant red light could not illuminate.

Also.

The styles of mobile phone tattoos are also changing.

Previously, the screen interface of the phone tattoo consisted of six identical boxes, but now the boxes are becoming increasingly blurry, and the phone screen keeps flickering, like a phone that has been turned off and is constantly trying to restart.

"What's happening here?"

Looking at the changes in the tattoo on the back of his hand, Li Hui seemed somewhat puzzled.

When the crimson light first appeared, he thought the phone tattoo was going to replicate a third kind of supernatural phenomenon, but now it seems that this is not the case. Instead, something has happened that he is unaware of.

"Could it be that the phone tattoo is meant to turn on the phone?"

Li Hui carefully examined the unusual tattoo on his phone. This was his livelihood in this world, so he couldn't afford to be careless about it.

this moment.

Even the mysterious disappearances of the Lord of the Ghost Eyes and the White Bone Tree were forgotten by Li Hui. In terms of importance, nothing could compare to the mobile phone tattoo.

.........

If you don't understand, just ask: do you think the Lord of Ghost Eyes is actually a part of the supernatural beings that Yang Jian separated in the future?
