Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

The scene shifts to hundreds of miles away from the City of Rebirth.

Under the dark sky, dark clouds gathered, and a thunderstorm was imminent.

Several modified heavy armored vehicles roared across the wasteland like steel behemoths.

Click! Click!

Occasionally, the wheels would roll over remnants of the old era, making a series of crisp sounds.

"Hmph, what City of Rebirth, what Evil Buddha?"

Inside the lead chariot, a middle-aged, burly man with a full beard was disdainfully wiping a giant axe in his hand.

A middle-aged, robust man, one of the four ruling powers of the new federal government... Han Dang.

He didn't care at all about what Xu Lan and the others had gone through.

Because he is a B-rank Ghost Master! He is confident that the [Mountain Moving Ghost] within him can suppress everything!!

"That useless Xu Lan, with so many strategic and unpredictable tools, was actually crippled by some charlatan."

"Bah!! This time I'll personally take action and turn that so-called Buddha statue into a pile of rotten stones!"

Han Dang's voice was rough, so loud that the car windows trembled slightly.

Upon hearing this, the two C-rank Demon Hunter captains sitting next to him quickly echoed:

"Of course! With President Han taking action, suppressing a mere anomaly is a piece of cake!"

"Absolutely right! In the face of Han's rule, let alone a B-level anomaly, even an A-level anomaly wouldn't be able to cause any trouble..."

The two of them took turns praising and flattering Han Dang.

However, in the corner, another, younger C-level captain frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"It drove Xu Lan mad, and even forcibly pried into her memories..."

"Is that being really so easy to deal with?"

But he didn't say anything.

In the New Commonwealth, questioning one's superiors often has more dangerous consequences than confronting the supernatural.

Just then, a lazy voice rang out from the back seat:

"Alright, Lao Han, don't be too careless."

The one speaking was Shui Linglong.

She wore a tight-fitting cheongsam with a very high slit, revealing a pair of long, fair legs.

She exudes a mature and charming allure that seems to captivate the soul.

"Since the commander-in-chief sent both of us, it means that thing... isn't that simple."

Shui Linglong held a cigarette in her hand, exhaled a smoke ring, and looked dazed, as if she was thinking about something.

"Hmph, women are just cowards."

Han Dang snorted disdainfully, clearly not interested in Shui Linglong.

The convoy sped along.

Along the way, the occasional F-class and E-class monsters they encountered were easily imprisoned by the monster riders on the vehicle before they could launch an attack.

"Haha! Another one!"

"These wild monsters are practically free customers!"

"Following Han's administration, you'll definitely reap the rewards!"

The crowd's spirits rose higher and higher, and Han Dang became increasingly arrogant, as if this operation was just a relaxing outing.

however.

Nobody noticed.

As the convoy passed through a dark valley.

An E-class Ghost Rider sitting in the last car suddenly had a trickle of blood on his neck.

The trace of blood was wriggling, as if it were alive, silently seeping into his skin.

……

Several hours later.

The convoy finally arrived outside the City of Rebirth.

After seeing the city through the drone, Han Dang's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint.

"What a great place."

"If we capture all these people and take them back as slaves... the Chief of Staff will be very happy."

As he spoke, he pushed open the car door, jumped out, and strode toward the city gate.

"Listen up, people of the city!"

"I am Han Dang, the new Federal Governor!"

"You have three minutes to open the city gates and kneel down to surrender!"

"Otherwise, I'll slaughter this entire city today!!"

The sound was like thunder, echoing above the city walls.

On the city wall, the guards on patrol changed their expressions and immediately sounded the alarm.

soon.

Zhao Linfeng led Qin Yao, Zhou Kai, and a group of elite demon tamers from the City of Rebirth to the city wall.

"A new federation?"

Zhao Linfeng looked at Han Dang, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Hasn't that Xu Lan enough to die last time?"

"You actually dare to come here to die?"

Upon hearing Zhao Linfeng's words, Han Dang flew into a rage. He grabbed a submachine gun and said menacingly:

"You bastard! How dare you compare me to that piece of trash Xu Lan!"

Boom! Boom boom!!

As he pulled the trigger, a burst of bullets shot violently into the sky.

"You shameless bastard!"

"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

Just as he was preparing to force his way into the City of Rebirth.

A slender hand rested on his shoulder.

"Hey, Brother Han, don't be so irritable."

Shui Linglong swayed her hips as she walked up, her voice sweet and delicate, as if it could melt a person's bones.

She looked up at Zhao Linfeng and the others on the city wall, her eyes flashing with a strange pink light.

"Gentlemen, why resort to violence?"

"How about... you come down and chat with your sister?"

"Your older sister is...very lonely~"

Her voice wafted through the air, and waves of power spread out instantly!

That was one of the strange, rule-based abilities within her... [Bewitching Voice]!!

Even from dozens of meters away, her voice was like a spell, drilling straight into everyone's minds.

Aside from Zhao Linfeng, a D-level Ghost Rider, who could barely remain conscious.

Qin Yao, Zhou Kai, and the other guards' eyes instantly became unfocused.

"Okay...okay..."

"Keep my sister company...chatting..."

They were like they'd lost their souls, standing there dumbfounded, some even taking steps as if they wanted to jump off the city wall.

"Damn it! Wake up!!"

Zhao Linfeng was shocked and tried to stop them, but found himself powerless to do so.

"Giggle giggle..."

Shui Linglong covered her mouth and chuckled softly, the pink light in her eyes shining even brighter.

"What a bunch of well-behaved children."

Just then.

Deep inside the main hall of the Temple of Rebirth.

A pair of jet-black stone eyes suddenly opened.

Immediately afterwards, a magnificent Buddhist chant resounded deep within everyone's soul.

[A deadly chant!]

"Namo..."

The powerful Buddhist chants instantly dispelled the alluring power.

Qin Yao and the others were jolted awake.

"What...what happened to me just now?"

"What a terrifying woman!"

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat and quickly retreated.

"Um?"

Shui Linglong's expression changed, and she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"Such a powerful impact of the rules, it's actually able to withstand the strange force within my body..."

"Is this the power of that evil Buddha?"

"Speaking of which, why would this strange and malevolent Buddha protect ordinary people? Could it also be a product of the former Great Xin Dynasty's laboratory?"

At this moment, the frivolity in Shui Linglong's eyes immediately subsided, replaced by deep apprehension.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Seeing this, Han Dang could no longer restrain himself.

"Since you're all so stubborn, then you may all die!!"

He roared, and the illusory image of the Mountain-Moving Demon behind him instantly solidified, ready to launch a powerful attack.

however.

At this tense moment...

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

A violent cough suddenly rang out in the center of the battlefield.

Followed by.

woo woo woo...

A mournful cry followed.

The moment those two voices rang out, the surrounding space seemed to shake and distort!

In the blink of an eye, two terrifying figures appeared out of thin air in front of the city gate.

One was an elderly man with a hunched back, coughing incessantly.

Another woman was hanging upside down in mid-air, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Grade B cough!

Class D Weeping Ghost!

"Strange?!"

Han Dang's pupils contracted, and his hand paused involuntarily.

"One B-rank...one D-rank..."

"That's interesting."

Han Dang didn't take the crying ghost to heart.

However, even he dared not be careless in the face of Lin Chuan's coughing clone.

The two sides stood in a stalemate, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

But just then...

A sudden change occurred.

"Uh...uh..."

A painful roar suddenly came from behind the New Federation's convoy.

Everyone instinctively turned around to look.

The E-rank Ghost Rider who had inexplicably gotten a bloodstain while passing through the valley was now lying on the ground, his body convulsing violently.

It looked as if countless worms were crawling under his skin.

The blood vessels bulged and throbbed continuously.

"What's going on?!"

One of his closest companions wanted to go over and check on him.

"Don't touch him!!"

Shui Linglong suddenly shouted, trying to stop her.

But it was too late.

puff!

The demon tamer who was lying on the ground suddenly burst open like a balloon.

There was no scene of blood and gore.

Only a large pool of viscous, dark red blood gushed out from his body, instantly covering the ground within a radius of several meters.

His companion, who tried to help him, was drenched in the blood.

"ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out.

The companion's body began to melt at a visible rate.

No, it's not melting.

They've been assimilated!

His skin quickly turned red, ulcerated, and then turned into a substance similar to the pool of blood on the ground.

Just a few seconds.

He turned into a blood-soaked corpse and stood up unsteadily.

And the pool of blood continued to spread outwards.

Like a living fungal carpet, it frantically devoured everything around it.

"What...what the hell is this?!"

Han Dang was also stunned.

He had never seen such a bizarre sight.

"Was it that evil Buddha who did this?!"

"Dare to ambush my men? You're asking for death!!"

Han Dang was furious and, without thinking twice, directly activated the [Mountain Moving Demon] within his body.

"Suppress them!!"

boom!!

A heavy and tyrannical force of rules pressed down hard on the pool of blood.

They attempted to forcibly imprison it.

however.

This move, however, was like stirring up a hornet's nest.

The pool of blood, instead of being suppressed by the attack, instantly boiled.

sizzle...

The blood, following the invisible force of the rules, actually reversed and corroded Han Dang's body!

"What?!"

Han Dang's expression changed drastically.

He felt that his [Mountain Moving Demon] was like encountering some kind of terrible natural enemy, being frantically devoured and corrupted by a terrifying force.

"No...get away! Get away from me!!"

He screamed in terror, trying to cut off the connection.

But that crimson power was like a persistent, incurable disease, impossible to shake off.

Dark red spots began to appear on his arms.

His vision began to turn blood red.

"idiot!!"

Shui Linglong was so angry that she cursed loudly. She really couldn't understand how a brute like Han Dang could become a B-level weirdo...

"Sever my arm now! Otherwise you'll die!!"

In a flash, Shui Linglong shouted again.

Han Dang is also a ruthless person.

Upon hearing this, without any hesitation, he swung his battle axe and chopped off his contaminated left arm at the root.

puff!

Fresh blood gushed out.

But he didn't utter a sound, only staring at the severed arm on the ground with a look of horror on his face.

The severed arm fell to the ground and instantly turned into a pool of blood, merging into the ever-expanding pool of blood.

"What...what is this...?"

Han Dang clutched his severed arm, his face as pale as paper.

Just a moment ago, he truly felt the threat of death.

"Go! Go now!!"

"The situation has changed."

"Let's get out of here!"

Shui Linglong gave the order decisively, her face no longer showing any of the composure and charm she had just displayed.

"Everyone, retreat immediately!!"

After speaking, she was the first to get into the car and fled into the distance.

Whatever that thing on the ground is, it's definitely not something they can handle.

however.

After Shui Linglong and the others had been running for a full five minutes...

But to their astonishment, they found that the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.

The walls of the City of Rebirth still stood behind them.

The pool of blood was still spreading not far from their feet.

"A ghost wall?!"

"We're trapped!!"

A C-level captain shouted in despair.

"Damn it!"

Shui Linglong's face turned ashen.

With trembling hands, she pulled a golden communicator from her bosom.

That was the highest-level communication device that directly connected to the new federal headquarters.

"SOS! We must call for help immediately!"

"We need to get the Chief of Staff here!!"

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

However, when the communicator was turned on, all that could be heard was a jumble of static.

"No signal..."

Shui Linglong loosened her grip, and the communicator fell to the ground.

Her heart sank to the bottom.

"How could this happen..."

"What kind of weird thing is this? It can actually block the signal of a Class B weird item..."

Just then.

"well……"

A sigh suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.

The voice was very soft and faint.

It was as if it were whispering in everyone's ear.

With that sigh.

The air around him seemed to freeze.

Even the wind stopped blowing.

Inside the Temple of Rebirth.

Lin Chuan's stone Buddha body trembled violently.

"That voice..."

"not good!!"

He was constantly observing everything outside.

When that E-level Ghost Rider from the New Federation suddenly exploded and died, he sensed something was wrong.

That dark red blood, that terrifyingly polluting power...

It was clearly the blood he had seen from Blood Raven's perspective—the blood flowing from that S-rank forbidden being—the [Head of Weeping Blood]!

"Damn it! Those scum from the New Federation! They actually attracted that thing here!!"

Lin Chuan cursed inwardly.

obviously.

When the group from the New Federation passed through that valley, they inadvertently became tainted by the forbidden aura.

Then the body formed a medium and carried it all the way to the outside of the City of Rebirth.

Originally, even if it was 300 miles away, no matter how fierce or dangerous it was, it wouldn't have been able to threaten the City of Rebirth immediately.

But now, Lin Chuan is about to face that thing up close!

【warn!warn! 】

[The S-Rank, Tier 1 Forbidden One—The Head of the Weeping Blood—is awakening!]

Deep within Lin Chuan's consciousness, the red characters on the panel flashed wildly, as if foreshadowing a great catastrophe.

"Blanch!!"

Lin Chuan looked at the group of New Federation people outside the city who were already terrified, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

He made a decisive move and immediately sent a telepathic message to Zhao Linfeng and the others.

"Activate the highest level of alert!"

"Organize all residents to move into the underground shelter! Quickly!"

"Hurry!!!"

Lin Chuan is now completely unable to remain calm.

If he were still an ordinary person, his voice would crack if he shouted at this moment.

Although Zhao Linfeng and the others did not know what had happened, they knew that something big was about to happen when they heard Lin Chuan's unprecedentedly anxious voice transmission.

"Retreat! Retreat now!!"

"Everyone, get to the basement!!"

Chaos erupted instantly within the City of Rebirth.

Fortunately, over the past few months, Lin Chuan had already helped Zhao Linfeng establish a comprehensive emergency response mechanism.

Under the guidance of the patrol team, countless believers orderly poured into the underground shelter.

Although they were afraid, they had even more faith in the "Buddha of Rebirth in the Pure Land".

"Buddha will surely protect us!"

"As long as we're in the city, we'll be fine!"

At this time.

outside the city.

Shui Linglong and the others had fallen into utter despair.

Because they saw it.

In the distance, a red light is slowly drifting in.

That was... a human head.

Its eyes were closed, and a strange smile was on its face.

Bleeding from all seven orifices.

Wherever it passed, space distorted and everything withered.

"That...that is..."

An E-level Ghost Rider's legs buckled and he collapsed to the ground.

Before he could finish speaking...

The head suddenly opened its eyes.

pitch black.

Profound.

There is no white in the eye.

Only endless silence remained.

Click!

The head of that E-level Ghost Rider looked as if it had been bitten by an invisible giant mouth.

It vanished into thin air.

Only a headless corpse remained, blood still gushing from its neck.

"ah!!!"

Shui Linglong let out a scream, feeling a strange fear in her heart.

The power of rules emanating from that head affected her rationality and thinking, causing her entire body to tremble.

"Lock it up! Lock it up now!!"

Like a madwoman, she pulled out a huge gold pouch and recklessly covered the head with it.

This is the highest level of confinement equipment she is wearing.

Enough to imprison an A-level anomaly!

Under the cover of the golden pocket, the eerie human head was directly trapped inside.

"They...they caught them?!"

Upon seeing this, Shui Linglong was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Hahaha! Gotcha!!"

"What's so scary or bizarre about it? It's just me..."

however.

She hadn't finished speaking.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

Cracks suddenly appeared on the face of her gold pocket watch, which was supposedly indestructible and could block A-grade eerie phenomena.

Followed by.

Dark red blood seeped from the cracks.

boom! !

The gold pocket exploded.

The head floated out intact.

It is still smiling.

The laughter was eerie and unsettling, as if it were trying to drag people into an endless abyss.

Inside the Temple of Rebirth, Lin Chuan watched this scene, his heart sinking to the bottom.

Furthermore, a bad news notification popped up on the panel deep within his consciousness:

[Note: Gold can only imprison the supernatural, not the forbidden ones above S rank!]
