Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 206 The Unsolvable Invasion

In the dimly lit office, Fang Shiming held an old pair of scissors in his hand, his expression solemn.

The light boards overhead flickered incessantly, as if they were about to explode at any moment.

Between the flickering lights, a blurry, illusory figure gradually solidified as the lights went out.

Opposite Fang Shiming, in a view that only he could see, stood a terrifying figure.

This is an elderly woman wearing a long gown from the Republican era.

He was lifeless and on the verge of death, his face covered with layers of lividity, and his empty eyes were unfocused, yet stared straight at Fang Shiming.

The most bizarre thing is that this terrifying old man looks black and white, as if he doesn't exist in reality and is about to invade from some unknown supernatural place.

The stiff legs were moving, very slowly, but unstoppably.

Fang Shiming's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty. At this moment, he could see the mediums that did not exist before. In his vision, those mediums floated lightly, extending out from Li Leping and connecting to a certain place in this world.

Occasionally, a few strands would drift down onto the old woman, and a strange thing would happen: the moment these mediums made contact, they would immediately dim, as if they had been drained, wither, fall, and disappear completely.

Each disappearance of a medium was accompanied by the old woman taking a step toward Li Leping.

As the old woman approached, there were few remaining mediums, only a few scattered strands. It seemed the old woman would soon successfully infiltrate the area.

Li Leping frowned and asked, "Are you sure you saw an old woman?"

“That’s right…” Fang Shiming nodded heavily.

"Black and white, dressed in Republic of China era clothing, it's invading this place. I've never seen a ghost like this before, it's outrageous."

Fang Shiming can see ghosts existing in the medium through the scissors, but these ghosts will only approach him when he uses the ghost scissors, and will kill him once they reach a certain boundary.

However, the old woman not far away was different. Fang Shiming knew most of the ghosts in the medium. Even if a new ghost appeared, it would not approach as actively as the old woman, and could even invade the medium. This was a very unbelievable thing.

The open-ended supernatural space created by the Ghost Scissors is essentially a ghost realm composed of countless media, which is why possessing the Ghost Scissors allows one to see media that do not exist in reality.

But now, this terrifying old woman is able to ignore the killing patterns of the Ghost Scissors and even invade this place in reverse to suppress the medium on Li Leping's body.

This means that the Ghost Scissors cannot cause him any effective damage; this is the first time he has encountered something like this.

In the past, no matter what kind of ghost Fang Shiming encountered, a single scissor cut could temporarily suppress it, which was the most important factor that enabled him to get to where he is today.

But now, the appearance of this old woman has shattered his previous preconceived notions.

Li Leping stood aside and followed Fang Shiming's gaze. There was nothing there except for the walls glowing with a dim red light.

"They actually managed to infiltrate this place..."

As the two were talking, Yang Jian's headless ghostly figure had already covered them, but Yang Jian could not sense any supernatural aura there.

"Don't waste your energy."

Fang Shiming glanced at it, then put away the scissors. "This ghost is beyond our level. There's no need for me to cut off the medium; it's invading the medium. It was only a matter of time before it came here. Let's think about how to deal with it, otherwise we'll all die."

Fang Shiming was right; no one could stop this kind of unreasonable supernatural invasion.

"It's the Republic of China era again..."

Yang Jian pondered to himself. Now, he was on high alert whenever it came to ghosts from the Republic of China era. The vengeful ghosts of that time were not only extremely terrifying, but also relatively complete in their details. In particular, the ghost controllers who controlled those ghosts were all exaggerated to the point of being perverted.

Last time at the museum, he had already given his all against the tall man, but he didn't know what level this ghost was. There were two captains present. Fang Shiming and Li Jun from this world could barely be considered captains, but Yang Jian was still unsure.

"Coffin nails..."

The ghostly hand gripping the woodcutter's knife tightened its grip, and several options flashed through Yang Jian's mind. The safest option was to take away the coffin nails from this world.

The knocking ghost here hasn't been revived yet, and the coffin nails are still in that unknown supernatural space. If you want them, you can get them within a minute.

Faced with a vengeful ghost that could drive Li Leping to such a state, Yang Jian dared not be careless.

Yang Jian always does what he decides to do, and just as he was about to take action, Li Leping spoke up.

"Keep cutting, don't stop."

Fang Shiming's expression faltered slightly. "What's the reason? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't stay here to die."

Li Leping said, "This ghost comes from our world. It has been invading me. This state is continuous, but each time I use my own characteristics to forget about the attack."

"Once the forgetting is complete, the invasion process will be reset, and it will start invading again according to its own killing rules. I guess it is incomplete. It should be that after a ghost tamer died, someone used something to dismember the ghost in its body, which is why I have been able to escape until now."

Yang Jian stood aside and understood what Li Leping meant.

By forgetting the fact that he was invaded, Li Leping made the attack disappear, at least for him.

The ghost's puzzle pieces were incomplete, so it couldn't fight against this forgetting while attacking Li Leping. Because Li Leping's way of forgetting his own experiences was essentially attacking himself, he was able to escape from the old woman's attacks time and time again.

"Li Leping, where will you go when you complete that state of forgetting?"

Yang Jian understood that any supernatural phenomenon comes at a price, and this kind of supernatural method, which is almost an extremely long restart, must come at a huge price, especially since Li Leping's state of amnesia was used while he was under invasion.

Li Leping continued, "I set an anchor point in this diary. After each completion, I will return to the entrance of Mingyue Community in reality."

"Yang Jian, find me. Every time I am forgotten, a part of my memory is lost. One day, I will completely forget my own existence and disappear from this world because of the invasion of that ghost. Tell Wang Xiaoming what happened here, and go to Room 301 in reality to find me."

After saying that, Li Leping took out the tattered diary and immediately began writing something in it.

Just then, a stench assaulted his senses. Yang Jian turned his head sharply and saw a terrifying black and white phantom appear at the end of the red light.

This terrifying old woman from the Republican era is invading this world through Li Leping, and this world also has a vengeful ghost with the same killing patterns. Yang Jian doesn't know what unpredictable changes will occur if the two collide, but it certainly won't be good.
