Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 272 Now (Part 3)

As Wang Xiaoming adjusted the settings, the snow-like noise on the screen gradually disappeared.

The image began to come into focus, revealing a man smiling at the camera with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Hello everyone, this is my travel vlog. Today I'm going to share with you the city of Dahai, which is known as the 'Magic City of Asia'."

In the video, a man is introducing himself to the camera; he appears to be a travel blogger documenting his life.

It's ordinary, commonplace, and there's nothing wrong with it.

However, in the background of the picture, the sky was unnaturally gloomy, and the clouds were extremely low, as if they were covered by a layer of dead black film.

"But the weather doesn't seem to be very good today."

The man looked up at the sky.

The light was dim, the outlines of distant buildings were blurred, and the sound of the wind was low and rustling in the microphone.

As the man moved with the camera, the appearance of Dahai City slowly came into view.

Crowds thronged the area, vehicles moved back and forth, neon lights and billboards flashed intermittently, and the Oriental Pearl Tower soared into the clouds.

Everything was no different from the real-life Dahai City.

"Hmm?...Let's pause for a moment."

Ye Zhen suddenly spoke up.

"Rewind one second."

Wang Xiaoming immediately started replaying the video frame by frame.

"Stop, this is the place."

A commercial street appears in the scene, and Ye Zhen points to one of the supermarkets.

"Is there a supermarket called Sam's Club in Dahai City?"

The staff standing behind the crowd immediately retrieved the data.

"There is no supermarket called Sam's in the whole of Asia. In Dahai City, there is only one supermarket called Sam's."

"Yeah."

Ye Zhen stared thoughtfully at the supermarket in the picture.

Wang Xiaoming didn't say anything, but pressed play to continue watching the content.

Yang Jian stood to the side, the scarlet ghost eye on his forehead darting around uneasily, a possibility becoming increasingly certain in his mind.

The scene continues.

A man and a woman appeared in front of the camera, smiling and posing for photos.

The crowd flowed behind them, and the camera swayed gently.

"Um?."

Wang Xiaoming looked at a corner of the sky in the camera's view.

There, a faint crimson hue was slowly spreading.

"Wow! Everyone, look! That must be the sunset clouds!"

The man also noticed the change in the sky and pointed excitedly at the clouds.

"I never imagined that we could still see such beautiful scenery in today's world with such severe environmental pollution!"

The camera slowly zoomed in on the sky, and in the dark, heavy clouds, a small area was an unnaturally crimson, like blood being poured into murky water.

Suddenly, without any warning, a crack appeared in the sky in the image.

The blinding sunlight shone down, making it difficult for pedestrians to open their eyes.

A small black dot can be vaguely seen, floating motionless in the golden light.

"What's that? Quickly zoom in with the camera!"

The man immediately operated the camera to aim at the black dot.

As the camera zooms in, a blurry figure appears in the frame. This figure holds a long sword, wears a bamboo hat, and has a white cloak draped over its back, seemingly confronting something.

However, due to the great distance, the camera could only capture a blurry figure and could not clearly see the person's appearance.

As the video played, everyone looked at Ye Zhen; it was obvious that the figure was him.

Ye Zhen didn't speak. This was indeed something he used to do, but he didn't remember ever being in that position.

"Holy crap! Honey, come quick, look what I filmed! This video is going to go viral!"

The man's excited voice rang out, and the whole screen shook slightly, showing that the man was extremely excited.

"Could it be some kind of special effects? I saw on the news that a celebrity was filming a movie nearby recently."

"Who cares if it's special effects or not? We'll just edit it, embellish it, and I'll become a huge internet celebrity!"

Suddenly, the figure in the picture moved; he raised his sword and slashed downwards.

A cold, sharp sword light fell down.

Then, the man's figure suddenly disappeared.

Immediately following was a blinding crimson light that rose from the ground and shot straight into the sky, colliding violently with the sword light.

The golden sunlight vanished instantly, oppressive clouds once again covered the sky, and the scene darkened again.

Without a reference point, the image begins to go out of focus.

"Let's go! Let's go check that place out!"

An excited voice came out, and the picture began to shake violently, showing that the person holding the camera was running quickly.

The man and his girlfriend jumped into a taxi.

"Master! My friend is dying! Before he dies, he wants to see that place! I'll give you an extra three hundred yuan! Take us there!"

The man held three banknotes in his hand and pointed in the direction where the strange phenomenon had just occurred.

The driver's eyes narrowed, and he spoke in a deliberately low voice.

"Ha, so this day has finally come... Have you ever heard of the yellow flashes in Oasis City?"

The man was taken aback. "A yellow flash?"

His answer was the roar of the engine.

With a sudden twist of the steering wheel and his foot already welded to the accelerator, a yellow blur shot off, speeding through the endless stream of vehicles.

"Damn it! Here we go again!"

The scenery on both sides of the screen is rushing past, and the old taxi is already running at race car speeds, but the camera is still focused on the sky.

There, a striking crimson hue suddenly appeared, even more dazzling and eye-catching than before.

But this patch of red was abnormally vibrant; the red light seeped into the street, even tinging the outlines of a row of buildings over there with a dark red hue.

However, the crimson color continued to spread, expanding at an incredible speed.

By the time the man realized what was happening, the world in the scene had changed color; everything was tinged with a faint crimson, as if the entire world had been soaked in blood.

"Holy crap! He's a real immortal! This is definitely not something that can be done with special effects!"

The man shouted excitedly, fantasizing that he would become a huge internet celebrity and reach the pinnacle of life with this video.

However, this strange phenomenon lasted for less than a second before the red color of the entire world quickly faded, as if it had been neutralized by another force.

"Master! Faster! My friend is dying!"

Looking at the world returning to normal, the man urged anxiously.

"Damn it! Hang in there! Almost there!"

The driver's feet were almost digging into the floor; the car had reached its maximum speed, and the engine roared to life.

Right now.

A small black dot appeared in the camera's view, rapidly falling from the horizon. Judging by the direction it was heading, it was about to crash into the taxi.
