Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 261 Comrades (The End)

A wooden house sits on a small hill in an open space.

It was dilapidated and neglected for years, looking as if it could collapse at any moment.

Yang Jian's expression changed.

This time, the scene was different from what I had seen on the bus before.

As the train passed the wooden house, the group clearly saw a person standing in front of the house.

He was tall and thin, so he must be an elderly person.

However, due to the great distance and the unusually dim lighting, the group could barely make out a single figure.

That person also seemed to have seen the train, something that had never happened before. Even when ghost riders were outside the train, they couldn't spot the group at all.

But this time it's completely different.

Their eyes met...

The figure was observing, and one could almost feel the gloomy gaze. It stiffly followed the crowd as the train moved.

"ghost?!"

Li Jun was about to stand up, which startled Zhao Lei behind him.

"Calm down, Li Jun."

Yang Jian's expression was equally grim. He hadn't noticed anyone else in the wooden house when he was on the bus.

Anything that can move around in such a place, whether it's a human or a ghost, is extremely terrifying.

"The person didn't move. Don't try to do anything else. Just watch it until it leaves."

Everyone fell silent, watching the figure intently.

This cemetery is so long that even a train that can travel through haunted places took nearly ten minutes to traverse it.

Finally, at a certain moment, the scenery in front of everyone suddenly changed, and the cool moonlight shone in.

In the distance is an ancient town, which looks quite old. It is lit up with lights and seems to still have people living inside.

On the outskirts of the ancient town lies a still lake, its gloomy surface pitch black, reflecting no light whatsoever from the moonlight.

"Ghost Lake?!"

Yang Jian recognized the lake at a glance. These should be the remaining six levels. During the hurricane incident, the Reform Society diverted the four levels of the Ghost Lake away, which, along with the hurricane, caused the destruction of two cities.

But to my surprise, the place remained as peaceful as ever. It seems that there may still be some ghost tamers from the previous era in this ancient town, keeping the town and the surrounding cities safe.

The ancient town remained in everyone's view for about a minute before the scene changed again.

At this moment, Shen Lin spoke up, "We're almost there. I've calculated that we'll reach a station approximately every ten scene changes. If you want to continue riding, you'll have to pay."

Yang Jian nodded. This train seemed to be able to go to many places, at least more than a bus, but it didn't have the same effect as a bus in suppressing evil spirits. Its specific effects still needed to be explored.

"Once we take over that internet cafe, I can ride this train for as long as I want..."

"Captain, what internet cafe? Are you addicted to the internet too?"

Zhao Lei, drawn by the aroma, approached and whispered to Yang Jian.

"No, get ready, we're almost there."

Yang Jian continued to stare out the window, and the scene gradually became clearer, but Zhao Lei beside him was getting restless.

"Captain! Where are we..."

Yang Jian raised his hand, gesturing for Zhao Lei to sit back down.

Ghost Eyes stared outside, his eyes revealing undisguised astonishment. The train was traveling through that passageway in the museum, that passageway from which there was no way out.

"Captain Yang, where is this?"

Shen Lin sat down. He had keenly noticed Zhao Lei's unusual reaction earlier, which suggested that Yang Jian was very familiar with this place.

However, Yang Jian seemed indifferent, "Shen Lin, what's it to you?"

Yang Jian doesn't plan to make the museum's affairs public for the time being. After all, if too many people knew that he could travel to a supernatural place in the past, it would definitely cause chaos.

"Captain Yang, as I just mentioned, I have a family background, and I can't beat my mother."

Shen Lin looked at Yang Jian sincerely.

“But I’ve always wanted to find a place to confine it, and I think this place is pretty good. The train has been traveling for so long, and the surrounding environment hasn’t even changed.”

As he spoke, Shen Lin smiled and extended his hand to Yang Jian.

“We can make a deal. I’ll tell you more about the train, and you tell me where this passage is. Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t tell anyone.”

After a moment of silence, Yang Jian shook hands with Shen Lin.

Of course, he wouldn't refuse a sure-fire deal. It didn't matter if Shen Lin died inside, since the real Shen Lin was still confined to his home by his mother.

After reaching an agreement, the two looked out the window without saying a word.

A long time passed, so long that Yang Jian almost thought the train had accidentally wandered into a museum. In fact, even the train couldn't get out of this passage.

Just as everyone was starting to get impatient, the scene outside finally changed.

Li Jun stared out the window, silently counting.

"Tenth scene change... We're almost there..."

This time, the outside world was a dim, yellowish-brown, and the sky in the far distance looked unreal, standing there like a wall.

Paper money was constantly falling from the air, crumpled and wrinkled, somewhat like the kind on Liu San's body.

This space was extremely strange; none of the captains present had ever seen it before. It gave people a bizarre illusion that it was visually very large, but felt very small.

"These papers..."

Li Jun's expression was solemn. He was very familiar with Liu San, after all, Liu San had saved his life, and he also knew about these yellow papers.

"It's Liu San's ghost... but it's a little different. How should I put it? It's like two packs of cigarettes. They're both cigarettes, but the brands are different."

"But two packs of cigarettes can be combined to create a completely new flavor."

Shen Lin picked up the conversation and continued, "The theory of the paranormal puzzle still holds true, and as our understanding deepens, our attempts at solving the puzzle will become more diverse. Li Jun, you are a perfect example."

Li Jun knew that Shen Lin was talking about the two ghosts inside him; the two completely different pieces of the puzzle had actually been successfully put together.

However, no one dared to try this situation again, not even Wang Xiaoming, who only tried it out of desperation.

If Li Jun hadn't been dying, he would have even planned to let Li Jun use the will-o'-the-wisp for the rest of his life.

The space looked very large, but the train took the shortest time to pass through it, as if the passengers had only passed through a room.

The dim, yellowish world gradually faded away, and the yellow papers began to multiply. Changes began, but the people could no longer see them.

Just as the train completely left this space, Yang Jian's ghost eye on his forehead observed two figures, one large and one small, frantically running on the ground.

Strangely, no matter how fast they sped up, it was as if they were running on a treadmill; their positions never changed.

Then, the train passed completely, and the outside was plunged into darkness. At the same time, the entire carriage also darkened, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Shen Lin's voice rang out:
"Everyone, get ready, we're getting off the bus."
