Chapter 352: The New Requiem Master, Leaping Over the Dragon Gate
"It's getting foggy?"

In the ancestral hall, the last few people of Taiping Ancient Town gathered here.

Boss Liu, the faceless man and the middle-aged woman were all in the backyard of the ancestral hall. They came for no other reason than to see He Liansheng off, to bid farewell to their old friend.

At the same time, it is also a chance to welcome the possible rebirth of Taiping Ancient Town.

Several people were waiting for He Yiner to come out of the room in the backyard, but before she came out, fog began to fill the air.

"This is the manager's ghost domain. Is the manager here?" Boss Liu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't make any other moves, allowing the white fog ghost domain to completely cover their area.

This white fog ghost domain has been invaded several times before. If the "store manager" was really hostile to them, they might have died long ago and would not have waited until now.

"I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for the store manager to come here at this critical moment." The middle-aged woman tightened her bulky clothes, her eyes alert, as if she was worried that someone would pull her clothes off.

Boss Liu and the faceless man both noticed it and quietly took a few steps back.

The white fog is a ghost domain, but it also contains the basic substance of fog. When people walk in it, they will stir up the fog and cause some air flow changes.

Ordinary people cannot detect this change, but for ghost riders who have reached a certain level of strength, it is as dazzling as the sun in the dark night.

The moment this change happened, Boss Liu and the other two all looked over.

There was no one else in Taiping Ancient Town, and it was flooded by Ghost Lake. Even though the water level of Ghost Lake had dropped, apart from Wei Jing before, only the "store manager" had ever come in.

Therefore, the door of the ancestral hall is not closed, so there is no need to worry about thieves breaking in.

At this time, a man in a manager's uniform walked in from the front door. Looking at this man, Boss Liu frowned and asked, "Isn't he the store manager?"

"Somewhat similar, but definitely not, different." The middle-aged woman was very good at recognizing people. She frowned and asked, "Where are you from, young man? What's your name? What do you do here?"

Asked three times in a row.

Lin Shen Lin Yuan glanced at them and then disappeared completely, which made Boss Liu and the other two feel a chill on their backs.

"This guy is not simple. He can use supernatural powers so casually in the store manager's ghost domain. Everyone should be careful."

You know, even if the "store manager's" ghost domain is not driven by the "store manager's" will, it still has an instinctive suppressive effect.

Although it is not to the point where they cannot use their supernatural powers, their strength has been suppressed by at least five levels. If they want to use their supernatural powers, the consumption and stimulation to the evil spirits will be much greater, and the power is still small, so the gain does not outweigh the loss.

Especially the ghost realm.

In the ghost domain of the "store manager", other people's ghost domains will be absolutely suppressed and it is impossible to deploy and use them.

The strange man in front of him had obviously just activated the ghost domain, which meant that this man's strength was extremely terrifying, and he was able to use the power of the ghost domain despite the pressure from the white fog ghost domain.

That's something they can't do.

Boss Liu immediately took down an oil lamp from the table next to him and lit it. The dim light came on, illuminating the surroundings. Even the surrounding white mist seemed to be affected by the light, but the range of this light was very small, only two meters, just enough to cover a person.

This lamp is a product of Taiping Ancient Town. The light is a special kind of ghost town. Although it is incomplete, it can be used as an early warning.

The middle-aged woman and the faceless man also took out an oil lamp and lit it. The three of them gathered together and let the three lights merge to illuminate a wider area, creating an excellent effect of one plus one plus one being greater than three.

However, the expected attack did not come.

Time passed by minute by minute. In this tense atmosphere, the faceless man suddenly patted Boss Liu and the middle-aged woman on the shoulders. After the two turned around, he pointed to the room with the closed door and gestured a few words in the air.

Boss Liu was shocked. "Are you saying that person might have entered the room?"

The faceless man nodded, which made Boss Liu even more anxious. He was about to rush into the room, but was stopped by the middle-aged woman, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"How can I not be anxious? Yin'er is our last hope. Aren't you anxious at all?" Boss Liu asked.

The middle-aged woman said, "Yin'er is not a weak woman who can't even lift a chicken. Don't forget, she got the fourth-level Ghost Lake supernatural power at the Peace Hotel. Even if the person who came was terrifying, it's impossible for him to make no noise at all. Didn't you notice that?"

This……

That seems to be the case.

Boss Liu and the faceless man both fell silent. The middle-aged woman continued, "Separate, each of you go to guard a corner and be on guard against the man just now. As for Yin'er, if there is no movement, don't disturb the last moments of their grandfather and granddaughter."

Boss Liu and the faceless man also agreed to this arrangement. They each went to a corner, and on the top of the courtyard wall, they held oil lamps and looked around vigilantly.

But they had no idea that the person they were wary of was Lin Yuan.

And it was the real Lin Yuan, not a part of ordinary people’s consciousness separated by him. It was truly terrifying.

In the room, He Liansheng was already barely breathing.

He has already explained everything he needed to explain. As soon as he draws his last breath, he will be able to pass on the necromancer skill to He Yiner, thus giving birth to the fourth generation necromancer.

He Yiner squatted beside the rocking chair to see He Liansheng off for the last time.

Lin Yuan was standing nearby, but neither of them noticed his presence, as if there was no one else here at all.

Finally, He Liansheng took his last breath.

"grandfather!"

He Yiner let out a cry of sorrow. Even though she thought she was prepared before, when the moment came, she still couldn't help but feel the sadness and desolation in her heart.

She threw herself on He Liansheng and burst into tears.

It seemed that only this way could she vent the grief in her heart, which surprised Lin Yuan who was standing by.

"I usually see her as generous and mature in the store, but I didn't expect her to cry like a child now. She is a loyal person, and it's worth it that I value her so much and even gave her a project to be in charge of. But..."

Lin Yuan looked at He Liansheng's body, and suddenly raised his hand and knocked He Yiner on the head.

boom!
Lin Yuan's blow was neither light nor heavy, but it made He Yin'er jump up suddenly and look around vigilantly.

"Who? Who hit me?"

However, there was no one in the room, at least when Lin Yuan didn't want to be discovered, even if he stood in front of He Yin'er, He Yin'er could not detect his presence at all.

Is it...

She thought of a possibility and quickly looked at He Liansheng, only to see that He Liansheng's eyes, which had been closed because of his death, opened again, and the pale eyeball was moving restlessly.

"The evil ghost has revived? So that's how it is. Grandpa, you were afraid that I would still cry after your evil ghost revived and I would be killed by this ghost, so you used your last breath to remind me? Grandpa..."

He Yiner was moved again.

Lin Yuan at the side couldn't help but rub his brows, "Is it possible that I have a granddaughter?"

He Yin'er is not an ordinary girl. The saddest time has passed, so she naturally won't make mistakes again.

She took one last look at He Liansheng, then reached out and pulled the pale eyeball out of He Liansheng's eye socket.

Then she gritted her teeth and dug out one of her eyeballs alive.

Blood gushed out and the pain was excruciating.

But she doesn't care about all this.

She possessed the supernatural power of the fourth level ghost lake, which could have allowed her to avoid this kind of pain, but she did not do so. Instead, she forced her body to bear it and her will to endure it.

Enduring the severe pain, He Yiner stuffed the pale eyeball into the eye socket, then picked up He Liansheng's body and walked aside.

There was a coffin that had been prepared long ago, a nigger's coffin, and also a coffin for ghosts and corpses to live in.

She put He Liansheng's body in, took a last look at it, and then closed the coffin lid.

"Grandpa, I will listen to you now and start to summon the souls. Summon my own soul."

He Yiner walked to the corner, where there was a dark red wooden cabinet. The cabinet was an old style from decades ago. The paint had peeled off a lot, and the exposed wood had changed color. It looked quite old.

He Yiner opened the cabinet and found a stick of incense inside.

Different from ordinary incense, this is the soul-calling incense that is kept like a treasure in the ancestral hall. It is a disposable supernatural item. After being lit, it can call back the dead and make the dead reappear in this world, but it only lasts for one incense stick.

This is not a resurrection, it can only be regarded as an incomprehensible supernatural phenomenon.

By now, there are only two sticks left in the ancestral hall.

He Yiner is going to use one now.

The soul-calling incense was lit, the aroma wafted in the air, the smoke filled the air, and the pale eye in He Yiner's eye socket began to move restlessly.

A strange aura emanated from it.

Soon, in the smoke of the soul-calling incense, another figure of He Yin'er appeared. She was exactly the same as the current He Yin'er, whether it was the blood flowing from around her eye sockets or the pale eyeball in her eye sockets.

It seems that a second He Yiner has appeared in this world.

However, this is far from over. The newly appeared He Yiner once again used the supernatural power of summoning spirits.

The third He Yiner appeared.

When the third He Yin'er used her psychic powers to start summoning the fourth He Yin'er, the second He Yin'er walked towards He Yin'er's body and merged into... no, it was like a layer of clothes, wrapping He Yin'er in it.

This cycle repeats itself, and countless He Yin'ers begin to appear. They seem to be endless, constantly gaining new life in the magical world of summoning spirits.

Every time a new He Yin'er appears, the previous He Yin'er will become the real He Yin'er.

After countless times, the summoning of spirits was still going on, but He Yin'er's body was already filled with a terrifying spiritual aura, as if countless ghosts were surrounding her, and the aura was getting worse.

"Just like gears, one layer inside another, He Yin'er is at the core, and He Yin'er, who was summoned by her, is outside, protecting her firmly. There are already a thousand layers now, and she is far from reaching her limit. It seems that she still has some time, as long as there is no danger." After witnessing the process of the necromancer's achievement and understanding the necromancer's secret, Lin Yuan lost interest.

He glanced at the black coffin containing He Liansheng's body.

The effect of this ghost coffin is very strange. It suppresses the supernatural, but also breeds the supernatural. The black coffin is used to hold the corpse of the ghost rider, which is quite good.

"If we have time later, we can go to the coffin shop at the end of the street and get a few. The cages that Lao Hei and Lao Hua live in are just for show. If we can use ghost coffins as their homes, it will also be helpful for their growth."

After making the decision, Lin Yuan turned around and walked out of the room.

The ancestral hall was very quiet. Boss Liu and the faceless man were still standing on the top of the wall, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings, but the oil lamp had gone out.

The lamp oil inside is also very precious.

Ever since the business on Ghost Street has slowed down, the lamp oil has been used less and less. If it runs out, it will be very troublesome to get some more.

The middle-aged woman stood in front of the door, also looking around vigilantly.

Lin Yuan walked out of the room, but the three of them didn't notice. The fog was still affected, but they could no longer detect it.

This is Lin Yuan’s ghost realm.

As long as he doesn't want to, no one can detect any abnormality in the ghost realm.

Lin Yuan was very leisurely, strolling around the ancestral hall like a tourist, and seemed to be very interested in the layout here.

But suddenly, everything around began to change.

The traces left by the erosion of the Ghost Lake on the ground and walls were disappearing rapidly, and a hunched figure appeared in the empty ancestral hall.

That is……

He Liansheng!
He Liansheng, who should have been dead, was now standing alive in front of the table where the spirit tablet was placed. He held a spirit tablet in his hand and was cleaning it carefully, just as he had done for countless days and nights.

Lin Yuan didn't feel surprised and just walked over.

There were clearly only two people, but it felt as if He Liansheng had become a passerby, and he was the protagonist of the world.

There was an obvious sense of incongruity and a very strange change, but Boss Liu, the faceless man and the middle-aged woman could clearly see it, but they seemed not to notice anything unusual.

Lin Yuan walked up to the strange He Liansheng and looked at him sideways.

It was indeed He Liansheng, and he looked exactly the same as the dead He Liansheng. But here he gave people a weird feeling, like a walking corpse, which was very abnormal.

As if he was bored, Lin Yuan raised his hand and patted He Liansheng on the shoulder.

"what?"

Lin Yuan was a little surprised. He clearly patted He Liansheng on the shoulder, but he didn't feel anything real. He also found that the speed of his hand seemed to be slowing down.

He was clearly using the same force, but the speed at which his hand fell had stopped in his sight, and he could clearly sense that his hand was still swinging downwards.

It's just that this space seems to be stretched.

Is it Boss Liu’s supernatural power?

Lin Yuan looked up at Boss Liu on the courtyard wall. The other party was still vigilantly looking around and did not notice anything unusual.

At this moment, He Liansheng, who was like a walking corpse, suddenly stopped wiping the spirit tablet, turned his neck stiffly, and looked towards Lin Yuan.

The pale eyeballs seemed to see Lin Yuan's existence through the invasion of memory.

"Interesting! It's not the distance in space that is stretched, but the time... He Liansheng in this time is not dead yet. If we want to contact his real body in the memory through the spirit, we need to break through the time that the necromancer created through the necromancy bug?"

But, that's all.

The He Liansheng that Lin Yuan chose was actually the He Liansheng from half an hour ago, and this time was quickly erased when he activated Shen Lin's supernatural power.

The next moment, He Liansheng disappeared strangely, and when Lin Yuan turned around, he had turned into... He Liansheng!

"Shen Lin's memory invasion limit is one year ago. That is the time he can control this ghost. If it exceeds this time, he will be lost in his memory, and the ghost will be revived in his memory."

"I controlled Shen Lin, but I'm not a ghost, so I can't invade memories without limits like the source of the ghost lake in the original book. My limit was seven months ago when I traveled to this world."

"Seven months ago, the ghost street in Taiping Ancient Town had also withered and had no meaning to me."

"What will happen if we forcefully break through the limit and invade seven months ago?"

"With my current strength, I don't need to take such a big risk, but I can take shortcuts. Just like the necromancer who used a bug to become an alien and live for decades, can I use a bug to invade seven months ago?"

Lin Yuan invaded Shen Lin, and used Shen Lin's supernatural power to invade his memory, replacing He Liansheng at a certain moment in his memory.

So can he use He Liansheng's soul summoning now?
Lin Yuan tried, but failed. He could not feel the existence of the necromancer, but he could experience the time after He Liansheng, or in other words, recall He Liansheng's last memory.

"What a pity, this road is blocked, we can only choose another direction."

……

"The appearance of the white fog ghost area in the middle of the night should be because the store manager chose this place as the virtual game venue for tonight."

Zhongzhou City has been flooded by Ghost Lake, but the tops of several tall buildings are still exposed above the water.

On the top of one of the buildings, Li Jun looked towards the direction of Taiping Ancient Town. Behind him was Ah Hong, who was so beautiful that she seemed unreal.

"It's a good thing that the store manager chose this place. At least there is no need to worry about casualties."

Li Jun nodded. There were only two of them coming this time, and the headquarters did not send anyone to set up a temporary command center because there were no living people in Zhongzhou City.

Even within a radius of dozens of kilometers, all the people have been relocated long ago, so there is no need to worry about large-scale casualties.

A situation like what happened in Dahai City should not happen again.

"If it's based on the Ghost Lake incident, Captain Cao and his team might be in trouble again." Looking at the Ghost Lake under her feet, Ah Hong obviously didn't have enough trust.

Li Jun nodded, "Ghost Lake is indeed very scary. Even the store manager can only be transferred and cannot be detained..."

It's hard to say.

If the "store manager" didn't need a fish pond, he might actually be able to imprison the Ghost Lake, but these are all speculations and have no factual basis.

"Now that the points mode has been launched, they should be able to gain some points even if they cannot imprison the ghost lake. It's a pity that Wei Jing was too modest and chose to withdraw voluntarily. Otherwise, with his supernatural powers as a ghost messenger, he would be the most suitable person to earn points."

Ah Hong nodded, agreeing with Li Jun's words.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked in one direction. There was a backward waterfall there. The water from the Ghost Lake was flowing down from above, which was also a great wonder of the place.

"Captain Li, look over there!"

Li Jun looked over vigilantly and saw a small black wooden boat sailing out from the direction of Taiping Town and heading towards the backward flowing waterfall.

There was a strange figure on the small wooden boat, or a standing corpse, or perhaps... a ghost!

A ghost, sitting in a boat, was heading upstream towards the waterfall.

Just when the wooden boat reached the bottom of the waterfall, the upstream water overturned the boat and turned it upside down on the water, and the ghost on the wooden boat also fell into the lake.

The ghost wanted to float to the surface, but suddenly a dense group of arms stretched out from underwater and grabbed it tightly.

The ghost is still struggling.

This ghost was quite terrifying. The arms that grabbed onto it were constantly being broken, but after one arm was broken, more arms would grab onto it.

Eventually, the ghost was sent and pulled beneath the lake.

The next moment, a golden carp appeared in the upstream waterfall, and went up to the sky with the water flow, and soon disappeared at the end of the upstream waterfall.

Ah Hong's eyes widened. "Is that... a carp leaping over the dragon gate?"

"There are carp, but no dragon gate. Don't let your imagination run wild. Just stay here. If there are any supernatural events, you don't need to deal with them as long as they don't escape the scope of the ghost lake. This time should be the easiest job."

Ah Hong nodded, "I just wonder how Captain Cao and the others are doing now, are they having a hard time..."

Is Cao Yang having a hard time now?
Not really, I'm just a little confused.

He was now on a dirt road, an unpaved road, like the ones found in remote rural areas, but the road was very wide, about five meters, and did not look like one built in a rural area.

"We were thrown into the wilderness? What is this incident? Do you know anything about it?"

Zhang Lei, Li Leping and Zhou Deng were all here. They all landed here at the same time after entering the game, but they had no answer to Cao Yang's question.

Zhou Deng walked to the top of a dirt slope and looked around. "It seems there is nothing here, and there are no people. Maybe they were really thrown into the wild. This is unscientific!"

"You tell me about science?"

Zhang Lei gave Zhou Deng a strange look and was about to speak when Li Leping stopped him, "Listen carefully."

Everyone listened carefully and heard a series of heavy footsteps coming from the distance, and they were getting closer.

Zhou Deng immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and soon saw something. He whispered, "A group of people are coming. They are carrying a black coffin, as if they are going to bury the body."

Cao Yang glanced at the sky. "Going to bury someone in the middle of the night is probably not a good thing. According to the rules of the virtual game, this must be a supernatural event, but the information is not yet known. I suggest everyone hide."

Zhou Deng's expression suddenly turned bad, "It's too late!"
