Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 94 The Squad (Part 8)

"It can even burn supernatural creations. We originally planned to use this robot to imprison this ghost, but now that the blanket is damaged, we must evacuate as soon as possible. Otherwise, the combination of the two puzzle pieces might produce something terrifying."

The cotton quilt inside the robot was a puzzle piece to the ghost. Liu San originally planned to use this characteristic to imprison it, but the sudden appearance of black fire disrupted his plan, and he had no choice but to prepare to evacuate.

"We're running out of paper figures, and half of the puzzle piece for this ghost is missing..."

Just as Liu San was pondering, a voice came from beside him:
"Where am I? It's so cold."

"Xie An? Is that you? What happened to you?"

Liu San turned around abruptly. All the burned paper figures were gone, replaced by a dense crowd of people packed in the square, with a constant cacophony of noise rising and falling.

Several young men with blond hair were looking at him from the crowd.

As the captain who had been pre-selected by headquarters, Liu San had witnessed too many bizarre events. He did not panic, but instead narrowed his eyes and observed the chaotic crowd.

These people are real people, not illusions created by the ghost realm, but ordinary living people.

"A living person?"

Liu San spotted several familiar figures in the crowd.

One of the steps in making Liu San paper figures is to use a complete corpse, without any decay or missing parts.

For this reason, he often traveled all over the country to collect corpses, some of whom were people he knew who died in paranormal events and were made into paper figures by him.

But at this moment, those people seemed to be affected by the black fire, and they all came back to life.

Liu San looked at a blond man in the crowd wearing loafers and tight pants.

"Ajie?"

"It's me. What's wrong with you? You look like you're malnourished and about to die. I've told you to fly less, but you just wouldn't listen."

A piece of yellow paper floated by quietly, but there was no reaction. The blond-haired man still craned his neck and looked around curiously, without doing anything unusual.

A strange look appeared in Liu San's eyes.

'It's impossible for someone who's been dead for months to suddenly appear here.'

But Liu San still asked, "A-Jie, what are you doing here?"

The blond-haired man's teeth chattered from the cold, and his snot froze into icicles. He shivered and said, "Damn... I'm freezing! I was just about to go racing with Westbrook when, for some reason, my head suddenly went off the rails, and here I am."

Liu San asked in confusion, "Westbrook? Speeding? Didn't Westbrook die with me?"

After hearing this, Huang Mao glanced at Liu San.

"Are you frozen stiff? You were just telling Westbrook that you wanted to compete with him to see who is the real number one racing god in Willow Leaf Town. Putting that aside, do you have any clothes or something? You can wear them for a while. It's so cold outside."

Liu San fell silent upon hearing this. He and Wei Shao had an accident while racing in the small town and were rescued by Liu Xunzhi who happened to be passing by, which led to his current state. However, the blond-haired man's account was completely different from what he had experienced. In the blond-haired man's memory, he seemed to still be alive and had not become a ghost tamer.

"Wait! Willow Leaf Town?!"

Liu San suddenly realized the loophole in Huang Mao's words. He had never heard of any Willow Leaf Town. He had lived in a rural-urban fringe area called Willowless Town since he was a child.

It is said that during the Republic of China era, a willow tree in this town became a spirit and killed civilians everywhere. A high monk who came from Japan passed by and performed a ritual to eliminate the willow demon, hence the name.

He lunged forward and grabbed the blond-haired man by the neck. "Tell me! There's no Willow Leaf Town! Who are you?!"

Liu San's numb eyes revealed no emotion, while the blond-haired boy was clearly terrified, his crotch instantly soaked. He spoke in horror:

"Brother Xie, it's me, A-Jie... Willow Leaf Town is our little town, do you remember? There's a really big willow tree in the town, and the old folks often say that the willow tree was a spirit a long time ago."

Liu San's eyes flickered uncertainly. This blond-haired man was undoubtedly a real person, but the information he gave did not match his own experience at all.

Liu San was unsure of what to do.

"Has consciousness been altered? Or is it simply a living being created by supernatural forces?"

suddenly.

drop--.

—An electronic notification tone was heard.

At the plaza's staircase, a faint light emanated from the head of the previously silent robot, and a standard artificial intelligence voice sounded.

"A headquarters support team has been detected in the southwest direction."

Liu San observed the changes before him, the sudden appearance of living people and the restarted mechanical supernatural creations, and quickly planned his next move.

"It restarted successfully! Has communication been restored?"

Liu San immediately said to the bizarre machine, a mix of flesh and mechanics, "Take me to them."

After he finished speaking, pieces of yellow paper floated out from his chest, wrapped around and covered the blond-haired man named A-Jie, and then transformed into the likeness of Liu San, standing stiffly in front of Liu San.

"go back."

The paper figure immediately turned around and quickly walked away into the distance.

Liu San didn't want to give up on this supernatural event that involved resurrecting the dead so easily, so he had no choice but to temporarily place Huang Mao inside the paper figure and away from the place.

People around him were already freezing to death, but Liu San was too busy to care for himself at the moment.

Watching the paper figure walk away, Liu San also prepared to leave. He was just a paper figure clone, and even though he was special, he didn't have the extra energy to rescue the living people here. Moreover, people who were resurrected through supernatural means could not be considered real living people at all.

However, these people were slightly different from what Liu San had imagined. Although they did appear here through supernatural means, they were all real, living people, but their original world was not here.

But Liu San was unaware of all this at the moment. Just as he was about to leave, the frozen building in the distance was suddenly covered with a faint black color, as if something was rushing toward him.

The faint black area moved very quickly. By the time Liu San could see it clearly, what came into view was an overwhelming array of footprints, frantically sweeping across everything around them.

From distant skyscrapers to nearby streets, every inch of walls, ground, and even the air itself is covered with countless bare footprints.

"Cao Yang? His condition..."

Before Liu San could react, the entire world covered by the footprints suddenly flipped over, turning into a blinding bluish-purple.

All the footprints vanished without a trace in an instant.

Instead, there was a desiccated corpse standing in the center of the square.

The chilling mummified corpse was now tightly embracing a young boy, stiff as a statue.
