Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 85 The King Enters the Country, Yang Jian's Corpse

The brown leather was soft yet had a slightly cold feel to it, as if it had been taken out of an icebox, exuding an eerie and ominous aura.

As the parchment was unfolded, the original writing on it quickly disappeared, and new writing began to gradually emerge.

This is an extremely eerie scene.

It was as if an unseen person was writing stroke by stroke on a blank piece of leather paper, only the handwriting was not neat, but crooked and distorted, like scribbles.

"My name is Li Hui. By the time you see this, I will already be dead..."

The opening lines of the parchment are always the same: the first sentence is to kill off the character.

Li Hui had anticipated this, so he didn't feel anything unusual, even though he knew that the paper doll was bound by certain rules and that most of what it said was true.

But that didn't matter. Everyone dies eventually, and the word 'death' is hard to define in this mysteriously revived world, so Li Hui wasn't affected by the opening remarks of the human skin paper.

However, just as Li Hui was about to read the rest of the text, he was suddenly stunned, because the paper stopped abruptly after writing his death, and no further writing appeared.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to mess with my mind?"

Li Hui's gaze turned cold, and he spoke to the human skin paper in his hand: "Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen to reason. You should know that I am more dangerous than Yang Jian and know the real way to deal with you."

This was not just a simple verbal threat. Having read the original work, he did know how to deal with the paper dolls, and there was more than one way.

Next.

Whether it was Li Hui's threat that worked or something else, writing reappeared on the human skin paper.

"I am you from sixty years in the future, and I am telling you information about the future through some special method..."

"You have to be careful...it..."

Writing kept appearing on the parchment, but Li Hui was completely baffled. The content was fragmented and could not be pieced together into a complete sentence, making it impossible to understand what it was saying.

Seeing this, Li Hui said, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me how to safely replicate supernatural abilities related to consciousness, such as the ability to dream ghosts."

Before saying this, he disappeared from his spot with the human skin paper and appeared on the rooftop of the teaching building, making it impossible for Yang Xiao and the others to hear what he said.

The tattoo on his phone was a serious matter, and he didn't want to reveal it. As for whether others would make guesses based on certain images, that was their opinion, and Li Hui couldn't control it.

At the same time, Li Hui also wanted to know whether the human skin paper knew what he meant by 'replicating supernatural abilities'.

As Li Hui finished speaking, writing reappeared on the human skin paper.

"My name is Li Hui. By the time you see this, I will already be dead..."

"At this moment, I have realized my shortcomings in terms of consciousness, so I hope to gain control over the supernatural phenomena related to consciousness."

"Three days later, after receiving the reward promised by headquarters, I arrived at a village in Dachang City. I knew that the vengeful ghost codenamed Ghost Dream was buried here."

"That night, a heavy rain fell in the village. I successfully entered the dream space where the ghost dream resided. Then I tried to control the ghost dream's supernatural power, but I failed. I died..."

"Is it an attempt to control ghost dreams, or an attempt to replicate the supernatural?" Li Hui immediately noticed the abnormality in the words of the human skin paper.

According to the paper man, he was killed after failing to control the ghost dream. This statement itself seems reasonable, but Li Hui felt that he might actually have been able to resist after entering the world of the ghost dream.

This is not without basis.

Previously, in a haunted place, a bus was stopped by a scarecrow in a rice field, causing the bus to stall.

All the vengeful ghosts on the bus got off there. Among them was a child-like ghost with supernatural abilities related to consciousness. It pulled Li Hui's consciousness into a supernatural space, which was very similar to a ghost dream in some ways.

The phone tattoo entered that supernatural space along with Li Hui's consciousness. All the supernatural powers that Li Hui controlled originated from the tattoo, so the existence of the phone tattoo meant that he could use the supernatural abilities that had been replicated.

"Could it be that the paper doll didn't know about the cell phone tattoo?" This question arose in Li Hui's mind.

"..."

To verify his suspicions, Li Hui asked the paper emoji other questions, including some that could confirm whether the paper emoji knew about the phone tattoo.

Information related to Li Hui's problem also appeared on the human skin paper, but the result was somewhat unexpected for Li Hui.

Judging from the information provided by the parchment, it can be determined that the parchment knew of the existence of the phone tattoo, but it seemed unaware of the abilities it possessed.

This is contradictory.

It's a bit like cell phone tattoos exceeding the comprehension of human skin.

"So, I have no way of knowing anything about replicating other supernatural powers from the human skin paper?" Li Hui's expression shifted slightly, but he was not disappointed. Instead, he asked other questions.

This time, his questions were much broader, including not only the killing patterns of various vengeful ghosts, methods of imprisonment, and even methods of control, but also many secrets not mentioned in the original work, such as the Lord of Ghost Eyes, the Peddler Ghost, details of Whitewater Town, and so on.

The paper veneer was quite cooperative.

The blank area was covered with dense writing, and then new writing continued to appear, covering the original writing.

that's it.

after an hour.

Li Hui returned to the school playground, folded the human skin paper, put it back into the gold box, and then put it back into Zhang Wei's arms.

In the past hour or so, who knows how much information the human skin paper revealed? Anyway, Li Hui got the answers to everything he could think of and wanted to know from the human skin paper.

The paper even provides a series of solutions on how to perfectly control the hungry ghost, but it is unclear what traps are hidden in the information it reveals.

"Let's put the matter of the starving ghost aside for now. The words of the human skin paper are not credible; they are full of pitfalls. However, the information it provides does have some reference value."

Thinking.

Li Hui waved his hand a few times at Yang Xiao and the other dead souls beside him, and then their figures disappeared from the spot and entered a huge oil painting.

After doing all this, Li Hui looked into the distance, and then as the ashes of the paper drifted away, his figure also disappeared from the spot.

soon.

Zhang Wei was the only one left lying on the cold ground on the entire playground, still muttering in his sleep: "Brother Leg...where are you? Someone is trying to steal your things, I can't protect them...they dare to bully me when you're not here..."

at the same time.

Several unexpected guests arrived in Dahai City, thousands of miles away.

There were five people in total. They entered this bustling city through some special means. Each of them exuded a cold and eerie aura, which was extremely terrifying, just like real vengeful ghosts.

"Is this the city where Ye Zhen, who is known as the number one ghost tamer in Asia, lives?" One of the five women, whose face was full of wrinkles and who looked like a corpse in a coffin, spoke up.

She is one of the kings of the Kings Organization, and her code name in the paranormal world is 'The Lady'.

Beside her, a man with an eerie aura, dressed in unusual clothing and resembling a missionary, said, "Yes, this is Da Hai City."

As he spoke, the missionary's eyes constantly scanned the city.

They were currently on the top floor of a building hundreds of meters high, and from their perspective, they could take in a large part of the city.

"Asia's number one ghost tamer, that sounds like a very impressive title. After today, he will become Asia's number one dead man!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties. As he spoke, his mouth opened and closed, revealing a set of yellowish teeth.

This middle-aged man is also a king, known in the paranormal community as the 'Terror Manor Lord'.

Besides the noblewoman, the missionary, and the manor owner, the remaining two are also kings of the King's Organization.

They are a painter dressed like a down-on-his-luck vagrant, and a cowboy wearing a cowboy hat and carrying a rotten old hunting rifle.

Five kings, all top-tier ghost controllers in the paranormal world. Such a lineup would be an explosive scene if it were in a foreign country where people are familiar with their identities. It's hard to imagine what kind of beings would require all five of them to join forces.

Actually.

Ye Zhen was not their primary target.

They originally planned to hunt down Li Hui, but on their way there they learned that Li Hui had entered into a new S-class supernatural event, so the kings temporarily changed their primary hunting target from Li Hui to Ye Zhen in Dahai City.

And in order to ensure the success of the operation to hunt down Li Hui, there were actually seven people involved!

However, the other two kings did not come to Dahai City with them. Instead, they chose to keep watch in Dachang City. They were the king codenamed "Gravedigger" and the king codenamed "Twins".

In their view, with the seven kings joining forces, no ghost tamer in the paranormal world could escape their hunt, not even those who controlled the ghost paintings.

The moment Li Hui emerged from the newly erupted S-level paranormal event in Dachang City was the moment they began their hunt.

Meanwhile, the kings decided to kill Ye Zhen, their second hunting target, first.

"Let's go. Don't keep the gravediggers waiting. Kill Ye Zhen, take his body and join them. Then hunt down the ghost tamer who wields the ghost painting's supernatural power and leave."

"This country is not simple. There are several ghost tamers who are no weaker than us. It is best to finish this quickly to avoid any complications."

The five of them joined forces, solely to target Ye Zhen. They felt they had the victory in their grasp. Even though Ye Zhen was also a top-tier ghost tamer, they believed he was no match for the five of them.

However, what the group didn't know was that Ye Zhen, who was in the lounge on the top floor of the Pearl Building, sensed their presence the moment they entered Dahai City.

Under the cover of the scapegoat's supernatural influence, no movement in Dahai City could escape Ye Zhen's perception. The actions of the five kings were simply no match for Ye Zhen's 'eyes'.

"They're really courting death! In broad daylight, five foreign ghost tamers dare to enter Dahai City without even a word. They simply don't take me, Ye, seriously!"

As they were talking, the anime playing on the screen on the wall of the lounge was just coming to an end.

next moment.

Ye Zhen suddenly stood up and went into the changing room on one side.

After carefully selecting a 'knight-errant outfit,' he vanished from his spot and appeared standing in mid-air outside the Pearl Tower.

At the same time, a dazzling light streaked across the sky and descended, enveloping Ye Zhen completely. Combined with his ancient-style swordsman attire, it truly accentuated a unique aura.

Then the dazzling light extended toward a building in the city, converging to form a staircase made of light.

Ye Zhen stepped onto the stairs, each step seemingly disappearing into the void.

"What's wrong with this idiot now? Has some kind of supernatural event happened somewhere in Dahai City? Is it a remnant from the ghost painting?"

A man in the general manager's office at the Pearl Tower couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times when he saw the scene outside.

Their boss was great in every way, but his pretentious and childish personality made his subordinates feel inexplicably ashamed.

However, Ye Zhen paid no attention to what his subordinates thought. He continued to walk on the air, stepping on the steps formed by light.

The supernatural power contained in the dazzling light affected the building in the city, making the figures of the five people visible.

"Is that Ye Zhen, who is known as the number one ghost tamer in Asia? He does look just like the photo we got, but his behavior... is he really not mentally unstable?"

The manor owner said with a cold look in his eyes.

With their limited understanding, they could naturally see that the gathered light was merely a manifestation of the supernatural phenomena of the ghost realm. It was quite intense, but it didn't have much of an effect on the five of them.

On the contrary, Ye Zhen's behavior and appearance at this moment are quite eye-catching.

The newcomer wore a bamboo hat, giving him a mysterious appearance. He also had an exquisite longsword hanging at his waist. What was most surprising was that he was wearing a cloak with two large characters clearly written on it.

justice!

At that moment, Ye Zhen's voice also came over.

"Dahai City is the territory of the paranormal forum. You barged in without even a word. This is the biggest provocation to me, Ye. If I don't teach you a lesson, where will I put my face in the future? Today, I will kill you to deter you!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Ye Zhen's figure appeared above the building, looking down at the King on the fifth floor, and said in a cold voice, "All five of you come at me together, that way it won't be considered that I, Ye, am bullying you."

"So the title of Asia's number one ghost tamer wasn't based on your strength, but on your empty boasting?" King, codenamed Cowboy, said to Ye Zhen.

His words were full of disdain for Ye Zhen, but his eyes showed no less vigilance, clearly indicating that he did not look down on Ye Zhen as much as he claimed.

"Are these your last words?"

When it comes to trash talk, Ye Zhen has never been afraid of anyone. He always starts with a string of boastful words: "I, Ye, am invincible in the world. You five think you can challenge me? I'll give you a handicap!"

As he spoke, Ye Zhen actually put his left hand behind his back.

"good chance!"

See this.

The kings were not angry at Ye Zhen's arrogance; instead, they were inwardly amazed that he was deliberately creating an opportunity for them to kill him.

next moment.

The five kings acted together.
"thump!"

After a brief supernatural attack, Ye Zhen's body fell from the sky and landed headfirst on the ground floor of the building.

"Is this the end?"

The hunt for Ye Zhen went much more smoothly than anyone expected.

It's less accurate to say that they killed Ye Zhen, and more accurate to say that Ye Zhen committed suicide. Facing the attack of the five people, he not only did not dodge or resist, but even took the initiative to meet them.

"Now that the hunt is successful, let's take his body and meet up with the gravediggers." The king, codenamed Cowboy, glanced coldly at Ye Zhen's corpse before slinging the old hunting rifle he was holding back over his shoulder.

Tatata!
Beside the cowboy, the terrifying manor owner, whose body was hidden in the darkness and who exuded a chilling aura, stepped forward, intending to pick up Ye Zhen's corpse from the ground.

As they walked, the manor owner said, "This guy calls himself the number one ghost tamer in Asia? Are all the other ghost tamers dead? How can Ye Zhen be allowed to occupy the title of number one?"

"Tsk, even the body is already cold..."

In a detached villa in an upscale residential area of ​​Dachang City, Li Hui's body floated in mid-air, and he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scene in front of him.

This is a dark room, the entire floor of which is soaked in a pool of black liquid. However, this is not the most eerie part; what is truly frightening is the scene inside the room.

A young man who bore a striking resemblance to Yang Xiao was currently suspended in mid-air, his body attached to a mirror that was more than a meter tall.

It was a dressing mirror in the style of the Republic of China. The bracket was made of copper and was covered with rust. Through the corner of the mirror, you could see many pairs of terrifying hands in the mirror.

Some hands are highly decomposed, some hands seem to have been soaked in water for several days, swollen and black, dripping with stinky corpse water, some hands are pale and stiff, and some hands are burnt black...

Every hand was slapping and hitting the mirror impatiently, as if trying to reach out from it.

Behind these ghostly hands are actually terrifying and mysterious evil spirits, and their numbers are quite astonishing. But what is even more bizarre is the ghost mirror itself, which remains undamaged despite being struck by countless evil ghost hands.

The ghost hand appeared for only one purpose: to pull the figure on the mirror that looked remarkably like Yang Xiao into it.

That person was none other than Yang Jian!

At this moment, he was dead, his body was cold, his body was covered with corpse spots, and he was gradually submerging into the ghost mirror at an extremely slow speed.

The ghost mirror itself was pulling on him, and the ghosts in the mirror were also trying to pull on him.

You can see that in addition to countless pairs of ghost hands in the ghost mirror, there is also a figure exactly like Yang Jian reflected in the middle of the mirror. At first glance, it looks like the reflection of Yang Jian's corpse in the mirror, with the same eyes closed. Standing there peacefully, as if dead.

But this is just an appearance.

In fact, the figure in the mirror was also transformed by an evil ghost. It needed to replace Yang Jian's body into the ghost mirror in order to escape and leave the mirror.

It's just that the process is not smooth.

Yang Jian's body was controlled by the headless ghost. As the supernatural confrontation intensified, the black liquid on the ground was returning to Yang Jian's body. This black liquid was also the headless ghost. a part of.

"According to the human skin paper, it will take Yang Jian at least two more days to be resurrected. The battle between the headless ghost and the ghost mirror has only just begun. The ghost eye's supernatural power has not yet joined in, but the ghost rope's supernatural power has been corrupted by the headless ghost."

While thinking.

Li Hui looked up at the top of the room.

There hung a straw rope there, its original color no longer discernible. The entire rope was now soaked in black liquid, turning it a jet-black color.

Li Hui's position is quite unique.

This allows his gaze to take in the entire room without reflecting his image in that ghostly realm.

A hazy, ghostly aura covered the entire city. This villa was just an ordinary building, not covered in gold, and not a safe house, so it could not withstand Li Hui's ghostly invasion.

After realizing that this villa was where Yang Jian hanged himself, and that it was on the way to his destination, Li Hui made a special trip to witness the famous scene of Yang Jian hanging himself.
