Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 235 Forgotten (Twenty-Two)

"Li Leping has shown up, but Li Jun hasn't come out yet, and Shen Lin is still inside."

Yang Jian analyzed the situation calmly.

“This is very strange. There must be a ghost in 301, a vengeful ghost that you can’t escape even if you just encounter it. We need to act quickly and take advantage of the two of them holding Li Leping back, otherwise we might really be doomed here today.”

Yang Jian thought of the old woman dressed in Republic of China era clothing. It was because of her that Li Leping completely lost control. Even the internet cafe couldn't stop her, let alone Yang Jian and the others.

An unsolvable invasion; once you're caught in it, there's only one way out: death.

at this time.

Ding, ding ding
A melodious voice drifted out from inside room 301.

It was faint and elusive, echoing down the street like a child whispering a country lullaby in your ear.

These tones sound pleasant at first, but when all the notes are combined into a piece of music, they give people a chilling sense of despair.

This eerie rhythm made my chest feel tight, and I unconsciously wanted to get away from this place.

Immediately afterwards, a pale arm suddenly gripped the door frame.

It appears to be a young man dressed in casual clothes, with a green-glowing axe visible in his other hand.

"Run."

He managed to squeeze out two words with difficulty.

Darkness obscured half of his face, but even that half was covered with black and white lividity, as if he had been buried in the ground for too long and had only just seen the light of day again.

"Shen Lin?"

Yang Jian's expression changed slightly. In this state, Shen Lin should have been completely dead, but he was still able to move.

Suddenly, without any warning.

From the darkness behind Shen Lin, a terrifying old man's face suddenly appeared.

Stiff, cold, devoid of any sign of life. Those empty, unfocused eyes stared blankly at Shen Lin.

Then it raised its hand.

"Run!"

Shen Lin spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Go back and find Wang Xiaoming! He's dying!"

The next second, he disappeared.

The terrifying old man dragged him into the dark room, and then there was no further movement.

The eerie music suddenly stopped, and even the green-glowing mist was pulled back.

Yang Jian stood silently in place, his ghostly eyes darting around anxiously. It seemed that Shen Lin and Li Jun were in grave danger, and that the old woman was the ghost that attacked Li Leping.

Shen Lin and Li Jun were probably limiting it within 301, but it should have reached its limit by now.

If the priest hadn't been there, Yang Jian and Ye Zhen would have gone in to help the two long ago. But similarly, without the priest, they might never have found the entrance to 301.

Heaven pulled the entire Mingyue Community out of countless fragments of memory, which is why Wang Xiaoming found the priest.

This is an unsolvable problem, but Wang Xiaoming has no choice. That's how the supernatural works; he can only try to avoid solutions with a low chance of success.

"Yang Jian, I'm going in."

Ye Zhen dropped his childish act. He had just seen the old man, a vengeful ghost capable of killing him.

But his personality compelled him to go in and see for himself.

"Do whatever you want. I won't stop you if you want to die, but Li Leping is still here. It's questionable whether you can even get to that door."

After saying that, Yang Jian immediately lit the ghost candle.

The black light spread out in all directions, eerily permeating the surroundings and casting long shadows of the two people.

"What? Are you scared?"

“I’m not in such a hurry to go and die. Since you’re unwilling to cooperate, I’ll find Li Leping in my own way.”

Yang Jian placed the ghost candle upright on the ground and continued:
"I can't stop you from going in, but if you can get around Li Leping, feel free to try."

Yang Jian lit the ghost candle to force Ye Zhen to act with him. Since he couldn't control him, Yang Jian would make him passively cooperate with him.

The process was unimportant to Yang Jian, as long as the goal was achieved. "I, Ye, am never manipulated by anyone. Where I want to go, no one can stop me."

After saying that, he strode towards room 301.

Such was his nature, but Yang Jian had already considered this. No matter what Ye Zhen did, as long as he remained in this place, he would inevitably be attacked again by Li Leping because of the Ghost Candle.

Sure enough, the moment he moved, the dark figure appeared, standing at the door of room 301, seemingly trying to stop Ye Zhen from going in.

"Step aside!"

He raised his hand and thrust his sword forward. Through the Ghost Domain, the sword crossed the distance between the two and landed on Li Leping's head.

But the next moment, something unexpected happened.

The entire space came to a standstill; it wasn't Yang Jian's ghost domain, nor was it Li Leping's counterattack.

The whole world seemed to have been paused, and you could clearly feel that time no longer existed.

Something's happened.

Yang Jian immediately realized something was wrong and unhesitatingly unleashed all his supernatural abilities to try to combat this strange phenomenon.

He had a strong premonition that if he were even slightly slower, he would die here.

The crimson color spread rapidly, and the cold lake water kept seeping from the ground.

He tried to include Ye Zhen in his ghost domain, but Ye Zhen blocked him.

“I said I’d go in, and I’m going in.”

Taking advantage of the opening, Ye Zhen rushed into the darkness inside room 301.

At that moment, the sense of stagnation in the world disappeared, but what followed was an even more terrifying phenomenon.

Time began to rewind, and everything around was rapidly returning to normal, as if a large-scale reboot was happening, restoring everything to its original state.

What exactly happened inside Unit 301?

A vengeful ghost with black flames burning on its head slowly rose from the Ghost Lake, and Yang Jian abandoned his own body.

"That it could affect the reopening of a city is outrageous."

Faced with this terrifying and unknown phenomenon, Yang Jian was prepared to fight to the death.

Standing on the calm lake, the black fire continued to burn, and the reflection of the bamboo forest gradually became clear. Yang Jian was resisting this exaggerated, large-scale restart.

But what happened next surprised Yang Jian even more.

The entire city of Dachuan, which was constantly regressing in time, suddenly stopped, and then time began to accelerate.

It was as if they had been thrown into a wildly spinning washing machine. Centered on 301, time in the entire city of Dachuan was constantly restarting, pausing, and accelerating.

In some places, time distortions have even occurred due to this terrifying supernatural influence.

Yang Jian was at the very center of this storm, struggling to hold on.

"As long as I can get into that forest, I can avoid the anomalies here."

That grove of trees essentially belongs to a completely new timeline. As long as Yang Jian can successfully enter, he can isolate himself from this terrifying supernatural phenomenon.

The lake water suddenly overturned, carrying black flames that pressed down on Yang Jian.

Then, in a lush bamboo forest, Yang Jian and Zhao Lei stood in front of the wooden house.

"team leader?!"

Zhao Lei was terrified; he had thought he was about to die.

"What on earth happened? The entire city of Dachuan..."

“There’s a problem. The ghost in room 301 has exceeded my expectations. Even Wang Xiaoming probably didn’t expect it to be so troublesome.”

Yang Jian looked up at the sky, where the entire city of Dachuan was reflected, like a projection of another world.

But the attacks continue, and it's unclear how long it will last.

"This exaggerated range shouldn't last long. Let's go out again when things calm down a bit."

"good"
