Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 237, Section 301 (Part Two)

This passageway is strange; it seems to extend infinitely to the left and right, with no end in sight, only pitch blackness standing in the far distance.

He tried to use the Ghost Domain to cover the area, but a full minute passed and Li Jun still didn't feel any obstruction.

This strange situation was clearly not right, but Li Leping's memory was missing, and Li Jun had no better solution, so he had no choice but to go into 301 first.

"Let's go inside and talk about it. First, let's act according to the words you carved on your hand."

Li Jun pushed open the door and went in first.

"Ok, thanks."

The young man immediately followed.

The air had a slightly damp, musty smell, suggesting that the place had been uninhabited for a very long time.

The decoration is ordinary, and the layout is similar to that of an old-fashioned residential building. However, the things in the room look quite old, probably made many years ago.

They caught a glimpse of an oil painting out of the corner of their eyes, but neither of them dared to look at it.

There was a vegetable basket on the table, and it seemed to contain something, but it was covered by a white cloth, so you could only barely make out the shape of a small person.

Li Jun didn't dare touch it. Many things in this room were dangerous. The most important thing right now was to find the diary and restore Li Leping's lost memories.

After walking around the living room, the two arrived at the door of a bedroom.

Li Jun asked in a deep voice, "Have you been inside?"

The young man shook his head. "I think I might have been inside, but I don't remember exactly."

squeak-

Li Jun carefully opened the door. The furnishings inside were very simple, with only a bed and a bedside table.

However, there was a person lying on the bed. This person's body was very strange. His skin was loose and soft, and his whole body seemed to have no bones.

"Shen Lin?"

Although the man's face was loose and saggy, Li Jun recognized him at a glance.

A diary lay beside the bed, and Shen Lin's right foot was stuck in it.

No, it's more accurate to say that he was trying to climb out of the diary, but was forced to stop for some reason, leaving a section of his foot still attached.

"The consciousness outside the body should not have recovered yet."

Li Jun turned to the young man and said, "Go look at that diary, and be quick."

"understood."

The young man nodded and immediately went over. Li Jun also helped pull out the last piece of Shen Lin's foot.

But an unexpected situation occurred. It seemed that because Shen Lin had completely broken free from the diary, his limp body began to swell up, like an inflating balloon, quickly becoming three-dimensional.

However, his lifeless face showed no expression as he stared at the young man who was trying to take the diary.

"Shen Lin, you've recovered? Are you able to move around?"

Li Jun hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and was glad to have an extra helper.

The young man was already reading the diary, his charred hands turning the pages one by one, his reading speed increasing rapidly.

Finally, he closed the diary. He looked up at Li Jun and said:

"Li Jun, stay away from him, this thing is dangerous."

"What do you mean?" Li Jun was taken aback.

"This person is not Shen Lin, or rather, not the Shen Lin we remember."

Li Leping put the diary in his pocket and looked at this "Shen Lin" warily.

"Could it be that Shen Lin failed? Has his physical body completely transformed into a ghost?"

"No," Li Leping shook his head.

"They didn't attack us; they should still be in a balanced state. It's just that the real Shen Lin is in very poor condition right now, so we can't focus on restraining him."

Li Leping frowned.

"Having another body with the exact same supernatural abilities as Shen Lin is really troublesome. If the balance of supernatural abilities isn't maintained, it could become another intractable vengeful ghost."

Li Jun's expression changed upon hearing this. He slowly backed away and stood with Li Leping. "Then what do we do now? Detain him?" "No, Wang Xiaoming's plan has worked. You've already gotten involved. Shen Lin is very important. We need to wake him up and make him forget the fact that he's an outsider."

Li Leping fell into deep thought, quickly analyzing his next course of action.

"The evil spirit inside 301 is coming soon. We don't have much time left. Continue to forget this experience. Through trial and error, I can find a chance to awaken it, or wait for another reinforcement to arrive."

“Okay,” Li Jun said immediately.

"Yang Jian is outside, and Ye Zhen is on his way."

"Yang Jian? Ye Zhen?" Li Leping's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that two very special people would come.

As he spoke, he kept writing in his diary with a pen.

Suddenly, the temperature inside the room dropped sharply, and a small patch of black and white light seeped in through the crack in the door.

"coming."

Li Leping looked warily at the black and white marks on the ground.

"The ghost in 301, an unsolvable invasion."

He put away the diary and then quickly carved a few words on his arm.

"Li Jun, don't resist me."

He paused for a moment, as if trying to remember something.

Immediately, their consciousness began to waver, their memories began to fade, and their experiences inside 301 gradually became blurry.

Standing once again at the entrance of 301, Li Jun was walking towards me step by step not far away.

"Li Leping? Where is Shen Lin?"

The same conversation happened again. Li Jun had lost count of how many times he had gone through this experience, and each conversation was more or less the same.

This wasn't his first time here. Initially, Shen Lin's body wasn't lying in bedroom 301.

It was he and Li Leping who gradually pulled Shen Lin out of his diary.

Starting with the face, then the head, neck, and chest.

Each time, they could only pull out a small part of Shen Lin's body before being attacked by the old woman.

After countless trials and errors, they finally managed to completely extract Shen Lin's information from the diary last time.

Forgetting, a kind of supernatural phenomenon that can be described as cheating, is how Li Leping constantly fights against the unsolvable invasion.

But every human has its limits; he couldn't fight the ghost, nor could he restart with the diary.

He could only evade the ghost's invasion by attacking himself, using this clever trick.

He didn't know when he would completely forget his own existence and become a walking corpse forever trapped in a cycle.

Perhaps it will happen again, or perhaps hundreds or tens of thousands of times. But he can no longer tell, because he doesn't remember how many times he has started over through forgetting.

The same experience happened again.

The two entered bedroom 301.

But the bed was empty, except for half a greasy diary.

Li Jun immediately said, "Go read the diary, and be quick."

The young man walked up.

With his charred hands, he opened the diary and began to read it carefully, page by page.

Through his diary, Li Leping's forgotten experiences are rapidly being restored.

Suddenly, a human face appeared on the paper, seemingly conscious.

"An external body? How did it get back in?"

Li Leping was about to take action.

Without warning, the face suddenly changed, as if looking in a mirror, and the face seemed to be one's own.

Immediately afterwards, a cold, sharp axe-like light suddenly cleaved through the diary.
