Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 239, Section 301 (Part 4)

Ye Zhen was startled and immediately retreated.

"No, you two can't get through... These things are like a ghost realm; stepping on them will cause an invasion."

"We can't stop here. Once this ghost starts moving, we'll all die here."

Li Leping is now preparing to start all over again.

Since we can't fight it, we'll find a way out through endless trial and error.

Ye Zhen seemed to have seen through what he was thinking and said, "Since we've already come this far, we should keep moving forward. Staying in the same place and choosing to escape will only lead to more and more mistakes, and in the end, you won't even know how you died."

"Ye Zhen is right."

Li Jun stepped forward. "Shen Lin has been rescued, and you have regained your memory, which proves that Professor Wang's plan was correct."

He held a white candle in his hand and continued, "I'll hold this ghost off here. You all go out first. Yang Jian might already be fighting with someone. Go out and help him."

Li Jun didn't even give the two of them any time to think. He decisively lit the candle in his hand, then turned and walked into the room.

Ye Zhen and Li Leping exchanged a glance but said nothing. Li Jun had always been like this, but this bought them both precious time.

But at that moment, a terrifying scene unfolded.

As the white ghost candle was lit, the surroundings were immediately covered in a layer of deathly black, but the next moment, the black suddenly flipped and was quickly taken over by the white.

"Wait!" Ye Zhen suddenly exclaimed, almost shouting.

"Li Jun! Throw away the candles!"

This ghost was completely immune to the candlelight and even invaded it from the opposite direction. This terrifying supernatural invasion caught the group off guard.

Li Jun reacted quickly and immediately extinguished the ghost candle.

But it was too late. The black candlelight that had spread out did not dissipate, but instead covered the room, making it pitch black and pale.

The entire room was like an old photograph; apart from the figures of a few people, everything else was shrouded in this eerie color.

As the candlelight was invaded, the terrifying old man began to make his move.

Its hazy pupils slowly moved, its gaze landing on Li Leping. Then, it stiffly took a step, about to complete a predetermined killing routine.

"You've come over?"

Ye Zhen quickly deduced the pattern of this ghost's inevitable death; it seemed that even if it wanted to kill a captain-level figure instantly, it would need substantial contact.

“It’s a contact-type incident. You guys hold him off while I go open the door.”

Ye Zhen revised the action plan. No longer acting like a teenager, he was able to be as perceptive as Yang Jian when faced with supernatural events.

Li Jun immediately took action. The green-glowing water vapor suddenly surged, surrounding Li Leping, making him appear and disappear, obscuring his location.

The old man stopped. The cooperation between Li Jun and Li Leping was effective. Under the suppression of the two captains, the eerie color in the room gradually began to subside.

But the invasion continues, and as time goes on, this unsolvable invasion will only become more and more terrifying.

The situation improved somewhat, and Ye Zhen managed to walk to the door despite the strange intrusion.

Just as he reached out and grasped the doorknob, a hand covered in age spots reached out from behind and gripped his arm tightly.

My whole body felt cold, and I suddenly turned around to look.

A second old man appeared, exactly the same as the one standing in the center of the room.

It was deathly still, its body shrouded in an unnatural black and white hue. "How is this possible?! Two ghosts have appeared on top of each other?"

Ye Zhen tried to break free, but the old man's strength was ridiculously great, and no matter how hard Ye Zhen tried, he couldn't move an inch.

The surface of the body alternates between light and dark, and the color keeps changing.

The scapegoat within his body was operating at its limit, but the black and white color was gradually gaining the upper hand. This attack through physical contact made it impossible for Ye Zhen to completely break free.

In that instant, Ye Zhen thought of the diary. Perhaps the diary was the cause of this strange situation, but he didn't have any more time now.

He raised his hand and thrust his sword forward.

But even this sword was invaded; its blade quickly dimmed. This old man was truly terrifying; this unsolvable invasion was all-pervasive and impossible to stop.

The situation became unbalanced in an instant.

Ye Zhen froze, not daring to make any unnecessary movements, and was fighting the old man in front of him with all his might.

Meanwhile, the situation on Li Jun's side also took a sharp turn for the worse, with the rising steam gradually being tinged with a blackish-white hue.

The old man was less than five steps away from Li Leping.

Glancing at the faint red phantom beside him, Ye Zhen suddenly came up with a plan, a completely new attempt to deal with this female corpse.

Because of his status as the "groom," the female corpse who is the "bride" is constantly attacking him, but because of the marriage certificate and the post office, the female corpse is trapped in an endless loop.

But at this moment, because of the old man's intrusion, all the inevitable deaths were borne by the female corpse, and correspondingly, this cycle was gradually being broken.

"What if we let this female ghost completely infiltrate us, and then let it fight against this ghost?"

Just as Ye Zhen was pondering, Li Jun's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Ye Zhen! He can't hold on any longer!"

Turning around, he saw that the old man had already walked up to Li Leping.

She raised her hand and reached towards his face; the movement was slow, but unstoppable.

Li Leping's eyes gradually became confused. He began to forget what he had experienced. For him, the operation had failed. He could only return to the entrance of 301 and repeat everything he had experienced before until he finally found a way to leave.

"Li Leping! Hang in there! We still have a chance!"

Just as Ye Zhen was about to do something, the small room changed again.

It was a vague memory that suddenly surfaced in everyone's minds. It seemed that because Li Leping was present, this memory was as if it were covered by a thick fog.

But the memory is very vivid, as if I had experienced it myself.

On a road that seemed to stretch endlessly, a young man appeared.

He was dressed in casual clothes, carrying a heavy axe, and was slowly crossing from his memories into this room.

You can vaguely see that he is holding a small box in his left hand. It should be a supernatural object, because in this blurry memory, only this box is clear, like an anchor point in the maze that led the young man to this place.

"Bata."

A small wooden box landed at Li Leping's feet.

The group immediately turned to look, and behind Li Leping, Shen Lin, who had been silent, opened his eyes.
