Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 108 First Battle (Twenty-Five)

Moon.

Wang Chaling frowned. His memory was failing him. He only remembered that there was something crucial inside the old house, but he couldn't recall exactly what it was.

Just as Wang Chaling was pondering, Shen Lin and Li Leping reappeared.

In front of the two was a strange, old-fashioned clock, its hands ticking away.

Through supernatural means, the two retrieved an item from their memories and brought it back to reality.

This behavior, which completely violates the laws of physics and common sense, and is utterly illogical, was realized at this moment through the supernatural.

Wang Chaling looked at the two men with solemn expressions. He had no idea what they had done in his consciousness, and he had forgotten something.

However, Wang Chaling was no fool. The moment he lost his memory, Li Leping and Shen Lin brought out a clock from his memory. Even though he had forgotten his memories, he could still confirm that this clock was the one he had been searching for.

Liu San exclaimed in astonishment, "This is simply unbelievable! A consciousness-type supernatural phenomenon can actually achieve this level of skill!"

Wang Chaling coldly asked, "What did you two do? Why is there a gap in my memory?"

Li Leping came up and returned the old pocket watch to Wang Chaling.

We met your grandfather.

"My grandfather?" Wang Chaling was a little surprised. He had never met his grandfather before, so why did the two of them encounter him in their memories?

“That’s right.” Li Leping nodded.

"After this is over, I will restore your memories of the pendulum clock, and you will naturally know what happened. But please believe us, we did nothing other than take the pendulum clock."

There was no time for surprise. Liu San looked at Wang Chaling and asked, "What is the purpose of this pendulum clock?"

"Manipulating time, but only backward, not forward, though I've always had a theory."

Wang Chaling opened his pocket watch and continued, "I once thought that the starving ghosts possessed the ability to restart. I planned to use the restart in conjunction with the pendulum clock's supernatural power to travel to a more distant past."

"At that time, I was thinking, if two supernatural entities that can restart at the same time can really reverse a period of history, then what if we could stop the medium of this vengeful ghost at the moment of restart and forcibly reverse the direction of the pointer?"

Wang Chaling opened the clock, revealing a disfigured corpse and its parts assembled together.

"But it's just a guess. I'm not sure if it will work, or what terrible consequences it might have."

At this moment, the black flames began to gradually emerge from Yang Jian's body, and Gui Meng was completely at a disadvantage.

His condition was terrible. If the ghost dream was completely suppressed, his consciousness might be wiped out in an instant. At that time, the vengeful ghost might take over this body, and he would become a special existence—a vengeful ghost with the appearance of Yang Jian.
But panicking is useless; the more anxious you are when faced with the supernatural, the faster you'll die.

A variety of possibilities flashed through Yang Jian's mind.

Even he had never seen a vengeful ghost possess any supernatural power that allowed it to travel to the future.

Whether it's Xiong Wenwen or the paper doll type, they can only predict the possibilities that are about to happen and then choose the most likely event from them, rather than directly going to the facts that have not yet happened.

Yang Jian pondered silently. The Eighth Layer Ghost Domain could achieve localized, area-specific restarts.

The nine-layered ghost domain might be able to take him to some point in the future, but it is a forbidden domain that Yang Jian has never tried before. Once the nine-layered ghost domain is activated, he is very likely to die immediately.

Wang Chaling's information just now gave Yang Jian another possibility: perhaps he could use the pendulum clock's supernatural power to forcibly open the nine-layered ghost domain.

But there's no time for them to choose or hesitate.

The black flames were gradually engulfing Yang Jian's body, and the flames burning from the depths of his consciousness were slowly swallowing his mind.

Faced with the supernatural, Yang Jian has never had a choice. He has come this far because of his struggles in every desperate situation and his desperate gambles on life and death.

Without any room for deliberation or hesitation, the ghostly hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the dried-up corpse inside the clock.

The enormous headless ghostly figure stood up and moved towards the pendulum clock.

"Wang Chaling, activate it."

Nine scarlet eyeballs darted restlessly over the ghostly figure, and cold lake water slowly flowed from within them.
Suddenly, an intense crimson light appeared, and Yang Jian's ghost domain instantly covered the entire surface of the moon.

From Earth, it looks like a giant, blood-red eyeball hanging in the night sky.

Eight ghostly eyes gradually overlapped on the ghostly figure, while the ninth eye appeared through the ghostly hand on the withered corpse inside the clock.

Yang Jian did not choose to directly activate the ninth level of the Ghost Domain, as he was unsure whether his own supernatural abilities could withstand the resurgence of the Ghost Eye.

Instead, they used a pendulum clock to try out a kind of alternative supernatural state, different from a system crash or suppression, or a supernatural confrontation.

This attempt at a certain state could perhaps be called...
'borrow'

Suddenly, the fingers of the desiccated corpse began to move rapidly, and its head began to spin wildly. Wang Chaling started the pendulum clock through his pocket watch, and the restart began.

But with Yang Jian's intervention, the corpse seemed to have triggered a switch, its head spinning faster and faster, and the speed at which its fingers moved even began to leave afterimages.

At this moment, an old man appeared beside the clock behind Wang Chaling, and surprisingly stretched out his withered hand, grabbed the wildly spinning head, and forcibly stopped it.

At the same time, another old man inserted his finger directly into the pocket watch in Wang Chaling's hand, stopping the rapidly regressing hands.

The colors of the two gray-white elderly people behind them were gradually fading, seemingly returning to their original colors.

This is the revival of the Wang family. The curse left by the first generation of the Wang family is indeed dangerous, but that does not mean that they can control the evil spirits without paying a price.

There is no ghost in this world that can be used without injury. Whether it is Ye Zhen or some supernatural objects, they all have their limits.

Once a certain threshold is exceeded, the vengeful spirit will resurrect, and the victim will die a violent death.

At this moment, the Wang family generation stopped the attacks from the clock and pocket watch. It has to be said that these two old men were truly terrifying. Even when faced with such a supernatural attack, they were still able to maintain a constant state for a long time, which was simply unbelievable.

It should be noted that this was achieved under Wang Chaling's manipulation. If the two of them were to reappear in the world, it is hard to imagine what heights they would reach.
