Mysterious Revival: My Path Through the Door

Link gasped, completely surprised that the supernatural item sent by the gambler would be so powerful.

Upon closer examination, he found it quite reasonable. The haunted place was isolated by the Yin-Yang Road, preventing many vengeful spirits from passing freely. Visiting relatives and friends even required a haunted bus to achieve this.

It's quite reasonable that such a supernatural event would be ranked above Grade A.

"Link, are you done yet? If not, I'll go through it again. Wait! What happened to your hand? Did that idiot do it? I'll go get him right now!"

While waiting for the right moment, Zhang Wei calmed the leather shoes down again. But when he saw what was on Lin Ke's arm, his eyes immediately blazed with anger.

Link shook his head: "I cut off this hand myself. I'll fix it up later. Wei, can I borrow your shoes for a bit? I'll definitely return them if I come back."

Zhang Wei immediately took off his leather shoes, went barefoot, and waved his hand, saying, "Take these and use them. Why are we talking about that?"

Link then looked at Yang Jian: "I will use the 'shadow-walking' leather shoes to go directly into Huanggang Village."

Yang Jian's pupils contracted as he stared at Link's severed right arm: "You're going alone? Are you crazy?"

As a teammate, he was probably aware of the dangers of the ritual.

Facing that terrifying ghost that can only suppress ghosts is already dangerous enough, not to mention that Link also has to deal with a murderous ghost that summons people.

Link's gaze was calm, as if he wasn't the one facing life and death: "In less than 24 hours, the potion will revert to the form of the ghost infant, which is what the wishing ghost wanted to see."

He picked up his phone, which showed only 4:50 p.m., while the sky was already beginning to darken, with stars faintly visible.

The area has been restarted, but it cannot affect the world's celestial phenomena. In the outside world, it is already almost nightfall.

Time is of the essence.

"I won't go in alone to my death. The area where the wishing ghost can be restarted is limited. You and Yan Li should split up and try to enter Huanggang Village directly. Even if the wishing ghost continues to obstruct us, at least one of us can get in."

Stay away from the riverside community as much as possible. If you are targeted by the wishing ghost, someone else will proceed with the next step of their plan, and the timing for their attack will be 9 PM.

Yang Jian glanced at the construction site and saw an old house there. Inside the haunted house was a vengeful ghost that could be traded. He immediately understood Link's plan.

"Okay, I'll try my best to get there."

Without hesitation, Link bent down and put on the shady leather shoes.

The soles of my feet felt cold to the touch, with a soft, yielding sensation, like stepping barefoot on a corpse.

"Wei, don't you think these shoes look weird on you?"

Zhang Wei was handling the eerie dice like he was playing with walnuts, recalling, "When that gambler bastard first put them on me, it was pretty strange. My feet were freezing cold and they were a bit uncomfortable. But after he wiped the shoes a few more times, they fit perfectly and were quite comfortable to wear."

Well, these shady leather shoes are actually a special type of weapon.

The ghost hand that summons people hangs on his waist, the thermos of ghost medicine is stuffed into his pocket, and two ghost candles, one red and one white, are wrapped in gold foil and placed in his bosom.

Lin Ke got ready, said goodbye to Yang Jian and Zhang Wei, and prepared to set off.

"Wearing leather shoes, I felt like I was flying, and they took me to the outskirts of Huanggang Village."

"Hehe, Link, I added the first half of the sentence myself. You just need to say the destination."

Before he could even complain about Zhang Wei's abstract style, Link's foot automatically lifted, and after taking a step, the scenery before his eyes had completely changed.

The sky was dark and the cold, rotten smell of earth filled the air. On the dirt road, several strange figures turned around, and an invisible killing intent enveloped Link, making him feel like he was suffocating.

This is a haunted place, filled with vengeful ghosts!

Link was secretly alarmed, but he didn't stop walking and quickly disappeared from the killing range of the group of vengeful ghosts.

Link's figure suddenly appeared on the road outside Huanggang Village.

The leather shoes beneath his feet began to emanate a cold aura, which invaded his body and gradually rose upwards. Before long, the area below his knees became cold and numb.

Link remained calm; this was an acceptable price to pay.

He looked around and, finding himself finally free from the watchful eye of the wishing ghost, breathed a sigh of relief and, without a second thought, rolled the pure gold thermos into the heart of Huanggang Village.

Then Link took out his phone and dialed the number of operator Qi Wanhe.

"Hello, Manager Lin, I was just about to call you. Our investigation reveals that Zhao Kaiming's family members have been disappearing recently. We suspect he's in poor mental condition, and headquarters has issued a warrant for his arrest..."

Qi Wanhe's clear voice rang in his ears, but Link had no patience for the headquarters' sluggish and powerless handling of the situation, and interrupted:

"Are you still in Dachang City?"

Qi Wanhe remained calm and composed, her voice showing no fluctuation even when interrupted: "Yes, I'm organizing the data for the Happiness Community. I won't be back in Dajing City until tomorrow."

Link continued, "Put down your work and go directly to Guanjiang Residential Area. Find a man named Zhang Wei. He will tell you what to do next. Before that, you just need to write a note that says, 'At 9:00 PM tonight, make sure the outside starry sky is visible inside Huanggang Village for five minutes.' Keep it a secret. Even if you report it, you won't be able to do so until after 10:00 PM tonight."

This task carries some risk, and you have the right to refuse. If you successfully complete the task, please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything in the future.

It was very quiet on the other end of the phone, so quiet that you could hear the girl's soft breathing.

After a moment of silence, Qi Wanhe suddenly asked, "Link, is this related to your life?"

"That's right."

"Okay, operators are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. I will accept the task in my personal capacity."

A slight smile appeared on Link's lips: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Link. You must live well, and keep going!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ke reminded Zhang Wei of the precautions to take when entering the old house, while slowly approaching Huanggang Village.

He didn't rush in. The ghost messengers who were alone were doomed, not because of the number of ghosts in a region, but because of the number of individual ghosts.

For example, although he currently carries three vengeful spirits, he actually only controls the apprentice spirit; the other two are not under his control.

Standing in front of the ghost messenger, without other ghosts to help in the supernatural battle, one would still be instantly killed.

It was the end of the month, and the sky was full of stars, making it the perfect time to hold a promotion ceremony.

Link picked up his phone, adjusted the time, and looked at 7:30 with a cold expression.

We have an hour and a half left. Let's see what the wishing ghost does.

……

At 8:45 p.m., neither Yang Jian nor Yan Li arrived.

Link learned about the two men's current situation by contacting them via satellite phone.

Yang Jian has been constantly restarted by the wishing ghost and has not yet been able to leave Dachang City. Fortunately, he has left Guanjiang Community.

Yan Li was entangled by a vengeful ghost with a ghostly aura on the road. He was safe, but he was temporarily unable to reach Huanggang Village.

Looking at Huanggang Village, where only a few lights remained, Link seemed to see a malevolent ghost face, giving him a strange smile.

Link only has two paths before him.

retreat?

Back in Dachang City, he found countless vengeful ghosts waiting for him, arranged by the wishing ghost. At that time, the ghost baby would be handed over to him, and Dachang City would become a self-service canteen for starving ghosts.

Enter?

Entering Huanggang Village without any companions to help you, and facing the ghost messengers head-on, will surely mean certain death.
