Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 124 Terror in Sight

A motorcycle sped along the highway in Dajing City.

Gao Ming was very frustrated. He had almost finished dealing with the vengeful ghosts that had escaped from the out-of-control incident in Dajing City, and he had finally managed to get a few days off. However, he was called back to work on the third day of his vacation.

If Wang Xiaoming hadn't personally spoken up, he probably wouldn't have bothered answering the lineman's call.

The motorcycle roared through several heavily guarded checkpoints before finally stopping in front of the massive headquarters building.

After getting out of the car, Gao Ming casually took off his sunglasses and looked towards the headquarters. Behind the black lenses were two empty eye sockets, completely black, like two bottomless pits.

Despite having no eyeballs, Gao Ming can see everything around him as clearly as a normal person. However, the world seen through his eye sockets is completely different from what ordinary people see.

There was no color, everything was pitch black, but even in this darkness, everything had outlines and shapes.

The only difference is that only supernatural forces can make his eyes appear in a different color.

At this moment, the headquarters in sight was uniformly dark, and there was no supernatural presence here. Gao Ming walked towards a building, which was the department that Shen Liang was in charge of.

Qin Meirou works as his operator in this building, carrying a bag of local specialties. Every time he comes back from vacation, he brings Qin Meirou and her colleagues some gifts. Everyone here is very familiar with Gao Ming.

The receptionist spotted him from afar: "Gao Ming, where have you been again? You look so downcast."

"Stop talking, I've been called back to work overtime again. Sigh, what can we do? We're treated like animals, how dare we disobey the boss?"

Gao Ming replied irritably and handed over a small gift.

"Where's Qin Meirou? I haven't seen her."

The young woman enthusiastically pressed the elevator button for him: "Thirteenth floor, a new operator has arrived and is very busy."

"Thanks."

Gao Ming turned and walked towards the elevator.

As soon as the door closed, Gao Ming was slightly taken aback.

"Why does it smell bad?"

A very faint stench of decay permeated the elevator, like the chilling, deathly odor that seeps into the metal walls of a hospital morgue elevator after years of transporting corpses.

However, Gao Ming didn't think too much about it. This was the headquarters, and after the incident with the starving ghost, the current security level made it impossible for the ghost to invade again.

He walked to an office with a nameplate that read "Qin Meirou". The door was half-open, and he could hear Qin Meirou explaining something to a woman.

Qin Meirou's voice was soft and sweet, and it wasn't an act.

"For example, sometimes when the person in charge is dealing with some personal issues, you can't relax, because many people in charge may reveal their true feelings after the campaign ends."

A slightly confused, unfamiliar female voice rang out: "What sport?"

"You know what I mean."

Gao Ming didn't listen anymore and pushed the door open to go inside.

Qin Meirou turned around upon hearing the voice, and upon seeing Gao Ming, her face immediately lit up with a smile. She swayed her hips as she greeted him, deliberately tossing her hair: "Oh my, look who's here. What gift did you bring me this time?"

"Why aren't you saying anything? You're brilliant."

Gao Ming usually banters with her and tells dirty jokes, but today he was unusually quiet.

Qin Meirou looked at Gao Ming, and a look of horror appeared on his pale face with no eyeballs.

At this moment, Gao Ming felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt a chill instantly rise from his spine to the top of his head, and a thin layer of sweat involuntarily appeared on his back.

In the pitch-black darkness, Qin Meirou's silhouette was still formed by familiar black lines, as was the entire office—a deathly, inky black. But the only difference was the long-haired, unfamiliar woman.

Pale white, an extremely glaring and abnormal pale white.

That was not the outline of a living person at all. In Gao Ming's eyes, the woman's figure was extremely stiff, like a corpse that had long since died, forcibly standing there, lifeless and extremely terrifying.

The headquarters has been invaded by ghosts! This thought exploded in his mind instantly.

"go out!"

Before Qin Meirou could react, Gao Ming grabbed her shoulder and threw her out of the office.

Just as he was about to rush towards the long-haired woman opposite him, a calm voice interrupted him.

"Gao Ming, when did you get back?"

"Professor Wang?!"

Gao Ming turned around abruptly, a multitude of thoughts flashing through his mind in an instant, but now his only option was to protect Wang Xiaoming.

"Stop, brilliant."

A faint, eerie green flame flickered as Li Jun emerged from behind Wang Xiaoming.

Gao Ming was startled; at the same time, he saw the supernatural colors of Ah Hong, Liu San, and others on Li Jun.

However, he was a bit confused at the moment and had no idea what was happening.

There was a ghost at headquarters, but Wang Xiaoming seemed to know it and did not choose to imprison the ghost, as if he was observing his own reaction.

Wang Xiaoming stepped forward, gently patted Gao Ming's tense shoulder, and gave him a meaningful look, signaling him not to panic.

"Gao Ming, let me introduce you." Wang Xiaoming's voice was calm, as if he were making a routine introduction.

"This is Tong Qian. She used to be the head of ZS City. Due to some special reasons, the vengeful spirit was separated from her body. Now she has officially become a switchboard operator at headquarters. From now on, we will be colleagues."

A ghost tamer turning into an ordinary person?! Gao Ming was shocked again. This was absolutely impossible, but the speaker was Wang Xiaoming, who never joked and would never say such things in this situation.

Gao Ming felt that his cognition had been shocked like never before. Everything today had a strange and abnormal feel to it, and his brain could hardly process it.

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoming walked towards Tong Qian with complete ease, seemingly without the slightest fear. Gao Ming's eyes widened in disbelief; after all, it was a ghost, and he almost couldn't resist attacking.

But glancing at Li Jun, Wang Xiaoming's bodyguard, a captain, it wasn't his turn to make a move.

Wang Xiaoming stood beside Tong Qian, speaking in a casual tone.

"This is Gao Ming, one of the heads of Dajing City. You need to get to know these colleagues as soon as possible so that you can maximize your value."

“I understand.” Tong Qian nodded to Wang Xiaoming.

She walked towards Gao Ming, but this very action startled him so much that he took several steps back.

In Gao Ming's clear vision, a deathly pale corpse was moving towards him with stiff steps. Judging from the movement, it seemed to be learning to walk; it was not smooth, but it was gradually becoming more stable.

Gao Ming looked at Wang Xiaoming, then at Li Jun, but neither of them reacted at all. At that moment, Gao Ming even wondered if Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun had been attacked by a ghost.

Tong Qian extended her hand and smiled at Gao Ming, saying, "Hello, please give me your guidance."

However, from Gao Ming's perspective, it was a completely different scene. Tong Qian's mouth was split open to her ears, forcibly pulling out a terrifying arc, revealing two rows of ferocious sharp teeth, and she was looking at him with a miserable smile.
