Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 204 The Plan to Leave

Through Yang Jian's ghost realm, the two quickly returned to headquarters, picked up Zhang Wei, and Yang Jian planned to leave this world immediately.

How much do you know about that internet cafe?

Looking at Li Leping beside him, Yang Jian asked.

Li Leping thought about it.

"Not much. All I know is that the place repeats the same process of a certain day. Once a living person goes in, they will be trapped inside. In the end, they will forever become someone who surfs the internet there. The characteristics are very strange, and the pattern of the killings is still unclear."

Yang Jian nodded. He knew that a supernatural entity capable of manifesting a near-real world was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Li Leping only managed to create a small gap in the cycle of that place by relying on forgetting, which couldn't completely suppress it. Moreover, this forgetting would soon be unsustainable once he regained consciousness, so he and Li Leping had to act quickly.

"Hey, who's this handsome guy? Why does he look so ordinary?"

"colleague."

The three walked through a corridor in the headquarters. Before leaving, Yang Jian planned to visit Wang Xiaoming in this world again, as he might have more specific information about the internet cafe.

Zhang Wei seemed to have discovered something new. Along the way, he would stare at Li Leping for a while, and then deliberately look away. He found that as soon as he looked away, everything about this man in his mind would disappear instantly.

Li Leping ignored Zhang Wei; he was used to this kind of thing, and everyone who had met him would ask the same question.

Yang Jian walked in the middle and arrived at Wang Xiaoming's office.

"Wei, stop playing around."

"Oh well."

Wang Xiaoming seemed to have been recording something here. When he saw the three people come in, he just looked up and then continued typing on the keyboard.

Li Jun stood behind him, looking to be in pretty good shape; it seemed there was still some time before the vengeful spirit revived.

Upon seeing Li Jun, Yang Jian recalled Wen Zhong's phone call. In reality, Li Jun seemed to be dying because of a guy named Chen Qiaoyang. However, with Wang Xiaoming's help, he managed to control a pool of corpse water, and judging from his condition, he was about to become an unkillable anomaly.

The major general looked serious and wary at the three of them; the pressure from Yang Jian and Li Leping was immense.

The moment they entered the room, the ghostly fire within them became restless, as if it were being invaded.

"Got to go?"

Wang Xiaoming's voice remained as calm as ever, suggesting that he had guessed Yang Jian's purpose in coming here.

Yang Jian walked to the opposite side of Wang Xiaoming and sat down casually.

"Tell me about that internet cafe, you know where I'm talking about."

Wang Xiaoming nodded.

"We knew, but this is the first time we've heard of that internet cafe's existence."

Back when Yang Jian and Zhao Jianguo returned, Wang Xiaoming sent people to investigate the internet cafe, but they found nothing. The appearance of that internet cafe was too strange, and it has now been sealed off by headquarters.

"However, I can give you some advice."

Wang Xiaoming continued, "I'm assuming that internet cafe is a medium connecting the two worlds. The three of you must have triggered some condition to enter here." He looked at Li Leping, "Your existence is very special. We haven't discovered you in this world yet. Forgetting... even the process of the vengeful ghost's resurgence can be forgotten. What if you also forget this 'state of fulfilling the condition'?"

"There is another way."

Wang Xiaoming took out a small transparent box containing a broken wooden stick covered in bloodstains and said, "Transfer. Transfer the medium to someone else, and you will no longer meet the conditions, so you can leave from there."

Finally, he took out a business card, a black card with the three small gold characters "WeChat Moments" engraved on it.

“I also know someone who has the ability to cut off the medium, but I can’t guarantee he will help you, nor can I guarantee he won’t plant any tricks in the middle.”

Yang Jian looked at Wang Xiaoming and silently analyzed his plan.

Sure enough, no matter which world he's in, Wang Xiaoming is always so special. In terms of researching the supernatural, no one can match him. Even Yang Jian can't think like Wang Xiaoming.

"Perhaps we can combine our efforts."

Li Leping, who was standing to the side, spoke up.
"I believe this world is real, and simply transferring media will only kill others. But it's impossible for me to forget this level of media for a long time with just my supernatural abilities, after all, that internet cafe can create a world."

Li Leping's view of this world differs from Yang Jian's, because he controlled the Ghost Shadow Head here, although incompletely and without achieving the desired effect, he did manage to do so.

This made him believe in the reality of this world.

He continued, "First, you transfer the medium on the three of us, and then I will attack the person who is undergoing the transfer. This double insurance is more reliable."

Wang Xiaoming nodded after listening. Li Leping's method was very safe. Even if the internet cafe attacked someone through a medium, Li Leping's ability to forget things could delay the attack. In supernatural events, time is life.

Yang Jian then asked, "Cut it off? I think I know the person you're talking about, the boss of the WeChat Moments, Fang Shiming."

In the real world, Yang Jian and Fang Shiming jointly handled two supernatural events.

One incident occurred in Dajing City when three S-class vengeful ghosts went out of control; the other was the hurricane incident involving the Reform Society.

Yang Jian had always been paying attention to people of Fang Shiming's stature, especially to that pair of scissors, an extremely strange and supernatural object.

Based on the information that can be gathered so far, Yang Jian judges that one of the scissors' abilities is to cut off curses, or to act as a medium.

Wang Xiaoming replied calmly, "That's right, Fang Shiming. It seems you were quite close to him in another world."

Li Leping thought for a moment and said, "Finding Fang Shiming... can indeed solve the problem at its root, but all supernatural things come at a price, especially supernatural items. Even if he can help, it will still require a considerable price to pay."

Yang Jian coldly replied, "It's not up to him."

“I have to get out of here. If he doesn’t want to, I’ll help him agree.”

Wang Xiaoming adjusted his glasses. He had no doubt that Yang Jian would kill Fang Shiming in order to leave this place.

However, he still spoke up, saying, "Yang Jian, I believe in your abilities, but I don't recommend doing this. In this era, any force that fights against the supernatural is extremely valuable. Furthermore, the network of friends and headquarters are currently supporting each other. If you plan to come here to gather more intelligence, you should consider the subsequent developments."

After listening, Yang Jian stared at him quietly, without saying a word for a moment.

Every word Wang Xiaoming said hit the nail on the head regarding Yang Jian's biggest concerns.

He had already guessed Yang Jian's idea. Since the two events were developing in the same direction, they could gather information here first and then deal with the supernatural event on the other side.
