Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 193 Dachang City Four Years Ago

As Yang Jian had previously analyzed, this place was merely a very small, supernatural location.

Logically, this internet cafe shouldn't have any contact with the outside world; it can't make phone calls or send messages. Everything is just a manifestation of this supernatural space. Once the supernatural balance is disrupted, its true nature will be revealed.

Unless… Yang Jian looked at Zhang Wei. This place is far more complicated than it appears.

However, the sound of police sirens coming from outside the internet cafe made Yang Jian's expression change.

"Are you kidding me? Could such a thing really happen?"

The sound was distant and indistinct, as if it were coming through a thick soundproof barrier, and it came through intermittently.

The siren grew closer and closer. Soon, the vehicle stopped, followed by the click of a car door opening and the sound of two people walking side by side.

A moment later, two uniformed staff members walked into the internet cafe, their empty eyes scanning the crowd.

Yang Jian knew one of them: Captain Liu, Liu Jianming.

Yang Jian had contact with him during the headless ghost incident and the mirror ghost incident. He was a very good staff member with a strong sense of responsibility.

However, Liu Jianming is now much younger, dressed in a crisp uniform, with no trace of age on his face.

They didn't seem to know Yang Jian.

Liu Jianming asked, "Who hit the person on the ground?"

Yang Jian followed his gaze and saw that the two ghost slaves he had dismembered had somehow returned to their original forms. However, their faces were covered in bruises, making them look as if they had been brutally beaten.

Zhang Wei immediately jumped out, hands on his hips, with a fearless expression: "It's me, so what?"

"Cuff him and take him away!"

Zhang Wei was dumbfounded. "What the hell? Wait, don't you guys recognize me? I'm the Double-Wielding Golden Gunner from Dachang City, you know me? Double-Gun Awei! I..."

"And call a psychiatrist while you're at it," Liu Jianming said coldly.

Two staff members escorted Zhang Wei, one on each side, towards the door.

Yang Jian followed after him in a few steps. "He's my friend, but he's a little slow on the uptake."

As he spoke, Yang Jian pointed at Zhang Wei's head and said, "Let me come along."

Liu Jianming nodded, gesturing for Yang Jian to follow. "It's good that there's a guardian. Why are patients being let out to run around like this? They might accidentally hurt someone!"

Yang Jian nodded silently, his crimson ghost eye on his forehead scanning the two of them. Apart from his unusually stiff expression, everything else seemed normal.

This place is too strange. Yang Jian originally thought it was a small supernatural space similar to a ghost realm, but he didn't expect it to actually attract anomalies from outside the space.

This was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre situation, and he planned to take it one step at a time. As long as Zhang Wei was within his sight, he was absolutely confident in his safety. Even if Zhang Wei was instantly killed by the ghost, Yang Jian could save him.

The police car started and drove away.

From the front row, Liu Jianming demanded sternly, "What's your name! Where are you from!"

“Awei, tell him.”

"Oh... my name is Zhang Wei..."

The vehicle slowly drove out of the alley, and Yang Jian stared intently at the changing scenery around him.

As the vehicle rounded a corner, the city's night view suddenly unfolded before us.

A thriving scene unfolded before Yang Jian's eyes in Dachang City.

Night falls, the city is brightly lit and bustling with traffic.

Zhang Wei was at the very back, enduring the interrogation with a miserable expression. "Huh?" Liu Jianming rubbed his eyes, only to feel a flash of red light before his eyes.

Yang Jian's ghost domain had already spread out, enveloping the entire city almost instantly.

Yang Jian quickly confirmed the current time: four years ago in Dachang City.

Apart from the time discrepancy, everything else in the city is normal.

The vehicle sped along, passing through familiar yet unfamiliar streets, and stopped in front of an old-fashioned building.

"get off!"

Liu Jianming led the two men into the building and into the interrogation room.

Just then, his phone rang. Looking at the message, Liu Jianming frowned involuntarily.

"You two stay here for now."

After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry, as if some emergency was waiting for him to deal with.

Zhang Wei immediately sidled up to Yang Jian and whispered, "Brother Leg, none of these people recognize you! Are they all possessed by ghosts? Otherwise, who in Dachang City would dare not recognize you?"

Yang Jian has a high reputation in Dachang City. Even Zhang Wei knows that it's impossible for any of these staff members not to know him.

"It's hard to say whether it's possession by a ghost, but there's definitely a ghost here."

Yang Jian decided to wait and see how this world developed. It seemed that this supernatural space was very unstable, and its range was constantly expanding with the actions of the two of them, even materializing the entire Dachang City from four years ago.

Faced with this situation, even he had to deal with it carefully.

The two sat in the interrogation room for a while, and soon after, two footsteps were heard outside.

Liu Jianming's voice rang out.

"Captain Zhou, this is the place. Those two are inside."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll call you if I need anything."

"understood."

The door was slowly pushed open, and a pale face appeared before Yang Jian. It was familiar, yet somewhat different.

Zhou Zheng?! Are you kidding me?!

Yang Jian's pupils contracted sharply. In that instant, he considered many possibilities, but none of them matched the current situation.

The timing didn't match up. Zhou Zheng's appearance was beyond Yang Jian's expectations. He was the second person in charge of Dachang City and died in the "Knocking Ghost" incident. Code name: Ghost Infant.

His first person in charge was Feng Quan.

The city of Dachang today is clearly the same as it was four years ago. Zhou Zheng couldn't have lived that long; four years is too long for a ghost tamer.

Unless… his own judgment was wrong, the time in the interrogation room clearly showed today's date, which was obviously four years ago.

His gaze shifted slightly downwards, landing on Zhou Zheng's stomach, which was slightly swollen, almost imperceptible at first glance. The inside was pitch black, clearly indicating that Zhou Zheng had now become a ghost tamer.

Zhou Zheng was also observing Yang Jian. When he saw Yang Jian staring at his stomach, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He didn't think much of it, holding a file in his hand, and walked up in a few steps, saying, "Yang Jian, Zhang Wei, students of the Seventh High School in Dachang City. You should be at school for evening self-study now. Why are you in an internet cafe and fighting with others?"

When Zhang Wei saw Zhou Zheng, he was so frightened that he shrank into a corner. He had witnessed Zhou Zheng's death firsthand, but now Zhou Zheng was standing right in front of him, completely intact and even able to speak.

However, he remained defiant, saying, "Is skipping class illegal? I like skipping class, is that wrong?"
