Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 85 First Battle (Twenty-One)

As the Wang family generation moved, this world of memories suddenly froze. Along with Shen Lin and the other person, everything around them came to a standstill, even the rapidly approaching horizon stopped collapsing.

Li Leping looked around and exclaimed in surprise, "This is outrageous... They actually forcibly froze the fading memories."

In the frozen world, the first generation of the Wang family walked towards the two of them step by step.

"Young man, it's time to get going."

Li Leping suddenly spoke up: "You must be Wang Chaling's grandfather. You said that the Wang family will one day end the era of the supernatural. I don't know if it will succeed, but I do know that if you kill the two of us now, the Wang family may be destroyed in Wang Chaling's generation."

The Wang family generation did not stop their actions; they clearly did not believe Li Leping's explanation.

"No need to say more. With my protection, unless those few people show up, there is absolutely no way anyone can kill him."

“I never said that someone attacked him. He gave me a pocket watch before I came in. I don’t know what it means, but it’s in my bag on the right now.”

The hand that was about to touch Li Leping froze, hanging in mid-air. A hint of surprise flashed across the cold face of the Wang family generation.

Gradually, the two felt their hands regain movement, but their feet remained rooted to the spot and unable to move.

"take it out."

Li Leping immediately pulled out an old pocket watch from his bag. It was covered in scratches and looked quite old.

The Wang family member took the pocket watch, opened it, and found that the hands were still ticking away, unaffected by the space around them.

“It’s actually true”

The pocket watch is not stored in reality, but in a photograph. Even if someone could kill Wang Chaling, they would never be able to get their hands on the watch.

Not to mention that once Wang Chaling dies, the two ghosts controlled by the Wang family couple will immediately go out of control, making it absolutely impossible to get the watch in that situation.

After confirming the authenticity of the pocket watch, the Wang family stopped their attack. Shen Lin and his companion immediately felt a sense of relief and resumed their actions.

“Tell me what kind of attack you suffered that required invading your memories to find a solution.”

Shen Lin looked at the horizon. The surrounding space had been frozen by the Wang family, so the two of them were temporarily out of danger.

"A ball of black fire, seemingly possessing the property of replacing cause and effect, but there is no other information. At Wang Chaling's suggestion, we came here to take away a pendulum clock."

"Black fire?"

The Wang family member pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

“When I was young, I met a woman surnamed Yang. She was very special. From her, I learned about an exile program abroad, which mentioned black flames. But at the time, I was busy looking for something else, so I didn’t ask about it further.”

He paused and continued:

“The pendulum clock isn’t here, otherwise I wouldn’t dare let these ordinary people repair it. You’ve arrived too early, but consciousness-type supernatural phenomena are always unpredictable and mysterious. Time doesn’t exist here. You can go closer to the memory point where Wang Chaling is located. The closer you get, the clearer he remembers it, and the higher your chances of success will be.”

"It may be dangerous, but it's still worth trying." After saying that, he twisted his five fingers in a strange way, but upon closer inspection, nothing seemed to happen. The memories around him were gradually fading, as if the medium that depended on Wang Chaling's consciousness was about to disappear.

“You can go now. Find that pendulum clock; Wang Chaling knows how to use it.”

Shen Lin looked around. There was still some time. He asked, "Is there anything you want us to tell Wang Chaling? If we miss this opportunity, we may never have another chance."

A hint of melancholy appeared on the face of the Wang family member. He sighed deeply and said:
"No one in this world can escape the supernatural, but there are always things that need to be done. Whether it's me or those seven people, we are all looking for a viable path."

The figure slowly dissipated and became transparent.

“Someone once told me that the supernatural is always full of uncertainty. I didn’t believe it before, thinking that if we followed the rules step by step, our Wang family would eventually get there. But after meeting you two today, I know I was wrong. There are still many supernatural phenomena in this world that I cannot understand.”

The figure of the first generation of the Wang family has disappeared, but his voice continues, as if he can resist even the absolute death of memory loss to some extent, and this is only a part of the supernatural remnants of him.

"You two are truly outstanding. I roughly know what you're planning to do, but I only guessed it after your hints. To be able to make such a quick judgment when faced with a supernatural phenomenon that even my ghost couldn't handle is truly astonishing. I'm very grateful to have teammates like you, Wang Chaling."

"Oh, I feel sorry for him."

The sound completely disappeared, leaving only emptiness around them. Only the patch of ground beneath their feet remained intact, as if the Wang family had deliberately left it there to give them more time to react.

Li Leping picked up the pocket watch from the ground, turned around and said, "Let's go. He's right. We need to go to a point in time in Wang Chaling's memory that is clearer."

The two figures vanished abruptly, and the memory fragment disappeared completely as well.

At this very moment, inside the Wang Family Mansion in Dadong City.

Here exist many demon tamers on the verge of resurrection. In order to survive, they are forced to imprison here, facing an endless cycle of reincarnation, with no hope of ever seeing the light of day again.

At one point, everyone smelled a faint stench of decay, unlike the pervasive, chilling stench of corpses that filled the old house year-round. This smell seemed to indicate that a body was being burned.

In my memory, there were two men who looked extremely terrifying from a distance, walking quickly toward them.

As the two intruded, it seemed to trigger some unknown pattern within the old house, and the timeline within the entire old house began to change.

"Tick-tock"

The sound of the clock ticking echoed continuously from the depths of the old house, growing increasingly rapid, almost frantic.

Due to the supernatural and abrupt intervention of Shen Lin and Li Leping, this ancient house is constantly changing, altering its timeline.

But in their memories, time was no longer linear; the constantly changing time had no effect on the two of them.

The two figures moved constantly through the old house, appearing and disappearing as if they had entered a constantly changing dimension, where time and space intertwined.

Suddenly, Li Leping stopped and looked at a stairwell.

"found it"
