Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 238, Section 301 (Part 3)

Li Leping looked at the face before him. The axe light hadn't struck him; rather, it was this "Shen Lin" who had invaded his memories.
Before the two could react, a long sword flashed with a cold light and stabbed from behind.

The axe and the longsword clashed, producing a piercing, sharp cracking sound.

"Ye Zhen?!"

Li Jun's face lit up with joy.

Ye Zhen remained silent, staring coldly at Shen Lin.

He rushed forward in two or three steps, raised his other hand, and forcefully pulled Shen Lin out of the diary.

Then, he took out half a diary from his pocket and threw it to Li Jun.

He looked at Li Leping and asked, "What should we do?"

Li Leping's gaze fell on the half-read diary. It turned out that Wang Xiaoming had handed it over to Ye Zhen.

A solution immediately flashed through my mind.

"Ye Zhen, you stop Shen Lin's attack for me. I will suppress this body and make him forget that he is a ghost, and then I will let him come into contact with the diary."

He turned to Li Jun and continued, "It's very brief, maybe only a second. You need to be quick."

Before the two could agree, Li Leping had already begun his operation.

At the same time, a black and white light seeped in through the crack in the door, and the ghost's invasion of room 301 began.

Shen Lin's body was limp and flabby, with no bones beneath the skin and the flesh not even fully grown.

Li Leping knew that this was a true vengeful ghost, possessing the same supernatural abilities as Shen Lin.

He raised his hand and gently placed it on the face of this body.

The moment they made contact, Li Leping felt his memories begin to change.

It's not quite right to call it a change; it's more like something suddenly appeared in my memory.

In one of his memories, a corpse appeared, carrying an axe and walking unsteadily.

Two supernatural phenomena with similar characteristics began to clash.

With each step the corpse took, a portion of the ground beneath its feet disappeared, resembling a method of stealing memories.

It attacks Li Leping through his memories. If his memories are completely stripped away, what will replace them is an anomaly that possesses Li Leping's memories but also controls Shen Lin's ghost.

However, the ground beneath the corpse suddenly regenerated, and the recovery speed was so fast that it far exceeded the range it could affect.

Ye Zhen got involved.

Although Ye Zhen is not a consciousness-type ghost tamer, now that he has Li Leping, he can use Li Leping as a springboard to divert the attack from that corpse.

In front of the corpse were Li Leping's memories, while behind it, amidst swirling clouds and mist, appeared the Great Sea City, which contained Ye Zhen's memories.

With Ye Zhen's intervention as a scapegoat, the corpse stopped moving, and the ground beneath its feet kept disappearing, only to quickly reappear.

Ghosts cannot defy their own laws of killing, and this corpse still follows the three laws of the supernatural.

To attack Li Leping, they must bypass Ye Zhen's scapegoat.

But the corpse couldn't do that, because Ye Zhen didn't trigger the killing pattern; he only influenced this memory through Li Leping.

The corpse was constrained by its own killing patterns.

Ghosts have no thoughts; they can only act rigidly according to their own killing patterns. They will not avoid Ye Zhen's scapegoat, nor will they attack Ye Zhen. They will only continuously invade Li Leping's memories according to the conditions that were triggered at the beginning, until they completely kill Li Leping.

Ye Zhen kept him stuck at this point forever, and in this endless cycle, the corpse fell into a state of utter stagnation.

However, this kind of crash is very short-lived. In memory, time does not exist, but in reality, it may only last for a moment.

"Li Jun!"

Green flames rushed in, accompanied by a chilly mist.

Without pausing, Li Jun plunged the hand holding the diary into Shen Lin's chest. He even worried he wasn't strong enough, so he inserted his entire arm. The contact began. This half of the diary contained Shen Lin's name and some archival records, written by Wang Xiaoming.

An unknown supernatural collision erupted at this moment, silently.

The corpse came to a complete stop, both in reality and in memory, as if it had suddenly regained consciousness.

The limp body quickly swelled up, bones regenerated, and flesh and blood were refilled.

However, it will take time to balance things out. According to Li Leping, the body outside the body is an extremely special vengeful ghost that possesses the same supernatural abilities as Shen Lin, but is also very dangerous.

If the balance is not properly maintained, it will create a vengeful ghost with Shen Lin's memories, a vengeful ghost with true self-awareness.

"Watch your step!"

The water vapor floating on the ceiling of the room suddenly plummeted, pressing down on the black and white that was covering the floor.

That unsolvable invasion has now completely penetrated.

Li Leping's expression changed slightly as he considered whether to try again to avoid this risk.

But things have already progressed this far, and if we forget this experience, we may never be able to replicate the situation we just witnessed.

He hesitated.

“Get out first!”

Ye Zhen gave a cold shout and turned to grab the doorknob.

In an instant, his entire body froze, and the color on his body disappeared as if glue had come off, replaced by an abnormal black and white that kept flashing.

These black and white images quickly covered and then disappeared, with Ye Zhen's body switching back and forth between two completely different scenes.

But in those few short seconds, Ye Zhen died several times in succession.

The supernatural power of the scapegoat was operating wildly at this moment, and a gruesome female corpse could be vaguely seen standing beside him.

Dark red, wearing a tattered wedding dress.

Ye Zhen actually tried to withstand the attack and forcibly lead the three of them away from there.

As the scapegoat was moved, the red on the female corpse was gradually being replaced by black and white, but the process was slow, and it seemed that it could hold on for a while longer.

With a sudden twist of their hands, the doorknob was easily turned open, and the group immediately dragged Shen Lin's body out.

However, the figure at the door made them stop in their tracks.

A strong stench of decay hit them as they approached. It was an old woman, dressed entirely in black and white, standing in the center of the room with her back to them.

This is their only way out; if they want to get out, they must face this terrifying old man.

Suddenly, "click click click"

A chilling sound of bones grinding together rang out, and the old man's neck stiffly turned around.

The corpse looked like it had just been dug out of a coffin, its lifeless eyes staring blankly at the group.

"go!"

Ye Zhen was about to force his way through when he said that.

He lifted his foot and took the first step.

"tread"

The invasion began as the soles of feet landed on the black and white floor.

This is an unsolvable pattern of murder. The moment Ye Zhen took that step, his entire left leg suddenly darkened, turning into a bleak black and white.

At the same time, the female corpse that had been following Ye Zhen also turned to ashes.
