Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 167 The Arrival of Support

He raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Shangbai, as there were still remnants of the medium used to deal with Li Jun.

Suddenly, a pale, swollen corpse raised its head, its misty eyes locking onto Jiang Shangbai.

The moment their eyes met, the medium was triggered.

Jiang Shangbai suddenly felt himself being dragged into a damp space, and his body began to get wet.

His skin glistened with a sticky sheen, and the air was thick with the putrid smell of mud, as if the stagnant water from a muddy field after a downpour was about to drown him completely.

"what?!"

Jiang Shangbai's expression changed, but he was unharmed. Through the collar of his coat, one could vaguely see an old burial garment, seemingly with the character "福" (fortune) written on it, but stained with brown blood. It looked as if the clothes had just been stripped from a dead person.

The bodily fluids that filled the air were completely isolated from Jiang Shangbai's body by the burial shroud.

Chen Qiaoyang had already stood up. The pair of pale feet on his shoulders were suppressed by the vengeful ghost behind him and were now useless.

"Tear..."

A strange noise came from behind Jiang Shangbai. He turned around abruptly, only to bump into a mutilated corpse covered in wounds.

Jiang Shangbai immediately prepared to activate his Ghost Domain to escape, but the Ghost Domain had just overflowed from his body when it was immediately corroded by the damp moisture and disappeared instantly.

His heart tightened, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He was originally a product created by Fang Shiming to participate in the Captain Project. The three ghosts inside him were forcibly implanted during the experiment, which can be regarded as Fang Shiming's attempt to explore the path of the supernatural.

Jiang Shangbai himself has very little experience dealing with paranormal events. Even when dealing with the out-of-control vengeful ghost in Dajing City, it was done with the availability of records.

However, these three ghosts complement each other and are a combination carefully selected by Fang Shiming.

A pair of pale, bare feet suddenly pressed down on the corpse's shoulders, and the battle between ghosts began.

Chen Qiaoyang was already in a very bad state, and after being suppressed by Li Jun, this ghost was now completely restrained by Jiang Shangbai.

"It actually worked!"

Looking at the corpse that had completely stopped moving, Jiang Shangbai's confidence soared. At this moment, he even felt that he still had a chance to compete for the position of captain.

Behind Chen Qiaoyang, the phantom of the second generation of the Wang family was less than five steps away. Seeing that he could not defeat Jiang Shangbai in a short time, he said, "Young man, make way. General Li is not dead yet."

"General Li?" Jiang Shangbai was taken aback when he heard him speak. What era was this person from?

However, Jiang Shangbai did not make way. "Of course I know he is not dead yet, but we will not let you leave here easily. Since we have made a move, I will kill you here."

"you?"

Chen Qiaoyang's gaze sharpened, realizing that Jiang Shangbai wasn't alone here. He immediately became alert of his surroundings.

"Damn it... I let it slip."

Jiang Shangbai's face darkened. If Wen Zhong had launched a sneak attack, he and Wen Zhong might have been able to kill the man instantly if they had cooperated.

However, Jiang Shangbai was very cautious. After the first wave of attacks failed, he did not rush to attack again. He only needed to hold off the man in front of him until Wen Zhong rescued Li Jun. Under the attack of the three of them, Jiang Shangbai did not believe that he could not kill him.

But Chen Qiaoyang was so shrewd that he saw through Chen Qiaoyang's thoughts at a glance.

Chen Qiaoyang had no idea what level of ghost tamer the other person who hadn't shown up was, but now, as long as he killed the young man in front of him, he could swagger into the museum.

In his eyes, Jiang Shangbai was much easier to kill than Li Jun.

"Don't try to stall for time."

As soon as he finished speaking, foul-smelling black blood suddenly gushed from his wrist and dripped to the ground. Seeing Chen Qiaoyang make a move, Jiang Shangbai immediately sprang into action. He wasn't stupid; this blood was clearly abnormal.

The strange burial shroud he was wearing kept the dampness out of his body. He took a step forward and began to slowly approach Chen Qiaoyang.

...

the other side.

"Captain Li! Are you alright?!"

Wen Zhong rushed over and immediately supported Li Jun's swaying body.

With only half a face remaining on his head, the last embers of green flame still flickered in his eye sockets. Li Jun's voice was weak, "I'm not dead yet. Don't worry about me, go stop that guy."

"Jiang Shangbai has already gone. Now I need to ensure your safety."

Li Jun nodded. Jiang Shangbai was, after all, a candidate for the Captain Project. He had mastered three ghosts, so he could at least delay Chen Qiaoyang for a short time.

He said to Wen Zhong, "Help me put my intestines back in; this body can't collapse yet."

Wen Zhong paused for half a second, then immediately squatted down and began picking up the scattered internal organs and intestines. Now was not the time to hesitate.

It felt cold and disgustingly slippery to the touch. But now is not the time to dwell on those things.

He moved swiftly, quickly picking up the intestines and internal organs and stuffing them back into Li Jun's abdomen through the horrifying wound.

"And then?! What do we do?!"

"Stay away from me..."

A green flame erupted from Li Jun's abdomen. He pulled the thin thread from his wrist and plunged it into the wound.

Strangely, the seemingly thin and soft thread easily pierced through the skin and flesh, penetrating Li Jun's body.

Li Jun's hands moved in and out of his abdomen repeatedly as he stitched up the wound with a thin thread.

My whole body was trembling, and a piercing pain shot through my abdomen. This kind of pain would probably kill most people, and those with weaker mental fortitude might even faint at the mere sight of it.

But Li Jun, relying on his willpower, didn't even utter a sound.

"Captain Li..."

Wen Zhong watched in stunned silence, his expression complex. He had never seen such an iron will before, and was even infected by this ruthless aura.

Li Jun was very fast and his technique was very professional. This is a common battlefield surgical procedure used in the military: the goal is to ensure you don't die, but not to ensure you are healthy.

Soon, the crude stitches were completed, leaving a horrific scar on the abdomen.

The menacing black lines slowly writhed on Li Jun's skin. The attack from Chen Qiaoyang's ghost had been intercepted by the black lines through a stitching motion, and Li Jun's condition was slightly relieved.

Wen Zhong's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he took out a bronze leaf from his pocket.

He walked up to it and said, "Captain Li, this leaf can temporarily restart your state. Hold it tightly and use it in conjunction with Ghost Domain to achieve the same effect as Yang Jian restarting himself in a short time."

Li Jun nodded, reached out and took it, "Thank you, Wen Zhong."

“Go help Jiang Shangbai first. There are at least four ghosts around that person. When they form a circle, they can create a ghost domain with a very high level of supernatural power. The wounds on my body were caused by one of the ghosts. Another one attacked by covering my body with corpse water. I was almost melted away.”

After briefly explaining Chen Qiaoyang's intelligence, Li Jun clenched his fist, and the bronze leaf made a cracking sound in his palm, completely deforming.

The restart that reversed life and death began, and eerie green will-o'-the-wisps suddenly burst forth from the surface, once again illuminating the entire sky.
