Mysterious Revival: My Path Through the Door

In the private room of the hotel, after the girl's feet broke free of the thick cotton socks, they exuded a chilling aura, and even the bright lights seemed to dim.

"Damn, which bastard turned the air conditioning up this low?"

Zhang Wei cursed and picked up the remote control, frantically adjusting the temperature to 28 degrees Celsius.

Li Qingyi lowered her head shyly, knowing full well that this was all due to the abnormality caused by her feet.

Across the table, Yang Jian noticed something amiss. Seeing that Lin Ke and Zhao Lei were dealing with the situation, he turned to continue talking to Miao Xiaoshan.

"Yang Jian, stop playing games all the time, you need to work hard and make money. If you still don't have a job when I graduate from university, I... I can support you..."

While things were all tender and sweet on one side, things were strangely different for Link.

Despite the sweltering heat, Li Qingyi's severely injured foot did not exhibit any putrid stench; instead, it emitted a strange, pleasant fragrance.

It smells like an ancient cosmetic, mixed with a subtle, rich fruity aroma of wine, and it's a bit intoxicating.

Corpse Fragrance...

A niche term flashed through Link's mind, his eyes darkened, and his right hand, gloved with gold, suddenly shot out, gripping the girl's neck like an iron clamp.

Zhao Lei raised an eyebrow, his expression turning grim. He straightened his back, preparing to use the supernatural power of the ghost puppet on Li Qingyi.

This is an unconditional trust in President Lin.

A dead man's hand naturally cannot feel the girl's body temperature, but the girl's blushing surpasses everything.

It has a pulse and heartbeat, and blood circulation; it is undoubtedly a living person.

Lin Ke released his grip, and Li Qingyi covered her neck, breathing in the fresh air. Tears and snot streamed down her pretty face, and she instinctively tried to back away.

For a moment, she truly thought she was going to die.

The feet, with their clearly defined metacarpal bones, pounded on the smooth floor tiles, making a "tap-tap" sound, but they couldn't move the chair an inch.

The friction is too low; it won't slide.

Link calmly offered words of comfort, as if he hadn't been the one who had launched the surprise attack.

"Li Qingyi, don't be nervous. I was just afraid that you had been killed by the vengeful ghost and become its slave, harming people. But it seems that you are not in bad shape. You have only been affected by the supernatural power. As long as the vengeful ghost is imprisoned, you still have a chance to live."

Li Qingyi patted her chest, looking like she had just escaped a disaster: "Thank you so much... but Link, you looked really scary just now."

Link nodded and said, "Yes, you're welcome. Since things have come to this, let's eat first. After we eat, I'll come to your house and help you resolve your problem."

The vengeful ghost in Li Qingyi's house is very strange. It is currently only in the recovery stage and there are only a few remnants of the supernatural, yet it still has such an influence.

This greatly piqued Link's interest.

A puzzle with a low level of supernatural power might have a lot of potential for exploration if its origins can be traced.

"The headdress ornaments worn by a young female lead? Could Li Qingyi's grandmother possess other puzzle pieces? Are they related to theatrical ghosts?"

Recalling the ghost troupe and the red bench that made a fleeting appearance in the original work, Link's eyes gleamed. It seemed that the next little snack for the ghost baby had been decided.

He felt somewhat gratified; it was the right thing to save more people when he was at No. 7 Middle School.

People who have experienced paranormal events are considered extremely unlucky; the probability of triggering such events is incredibly high.

In the original story, which of the seven survivors from the Seventh Middle School wasn't being hunted down and killed by supernatural events?

Only Miao Xiaoshan had a peaceful end, and she was saved by Yang Jian several times during that time.

Link's professionalism and composure calmed Li Qingyi down, and her eyes regained their sparkle. For the next ten minutes or so, she stuffed food into her mouth like a starving ghost.

"Eat slowly, don't rush."

"Waaah... I haven't eaten for days, I thought I was going to be killed by a ghost."

Hearing this, Link smiled and didn't try to persuade him any further.

After finishing their meal, Link led Li Qingyi out the door.

Zhang Wei looked at the two of them in surprise, his eyes filled with the pain of betrayal: "Damn it, Link, where are you taking Mahua Girl? Are you going to do something to betray Sister Qi?! They say men with money become bad, and the ancients were right."

The nickname "Twisted Doughnut Girl" comes from Li Qingyi's braided pigtails.

Li Qingyi blushed and explained, "Zhang Wei, it's not what you think. My house is haunted, and Lin Ke went to help me solve the problem..."

Link said frankly, "That's right, otherwise she might have died."

Zhang Wei took two steps back from his heart, his expression serious: "Catching ghosts is good, ghosts should be caught."

Yang Jian looked up from between the two girls and asked, "Ghost hunting? Do you want me to help you?"

Link glanced at her sideways. The one with the pale skin was Wang Shanshan, and the one with the pretty and cute skin was Miao Xiaoshan. He joked, "No need. I'm afraid that if you leave, two of the female ghosts will come back to life."

Now it was Yang Jian's turn to be embarrassed. Fortunately, he had been affected by the two vengeful ghosts recently, and his expression was starting to become expressionless. He replied with a blank face as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Oh, so you don't need help. Ah Wei, let's go sing karaoke."

Zhao Lei didn't say anything. He and Lin Ke had already discussed it and decided that he would take a taxi back later, while Zhang Han would cooperate with Lin Ke in the operation.

The two walked out of the restaurant, and Zhang Han leaned against the car door and smoked.

Upon seeing Link, he quickly stubbed out his cigarette and opened the car door.

After they were both seated, Zhang Han asked, "President Lin, where shall we go?"

As Li Qingyi was inwardly admiring the car's luxurious feel, she noticed Link turning his gaze to her and quickly said, "Xicheng Liangshui Well is a bit remote."

Zhang Han smiled kindly: "It's alright, I'm free anyway in the middle of the night."

As the vehicle moved smoothly, Link inquired about Li Qingyi's family situation.

It turns out that Li Qingyi's parents died in a construction accident when she was in elementary school, and she has been living with her grandmother ever since.

After experiencing the ghost knocking incident, she was constantly haunted by the ghost's shadow and dared not go near the school again. So she planned to drop out of school and make a living by working.

As a result, the ghost flower began to revive, disrupting her routine and causing her to lose her job. She spent her days in a daze.

Lin Ke suddenly realized that after the No. 7 Middle School incident, many classmates had moved away from Dachang City, but Li Qingyi no longer had any relatives living to guide her. She could only stand at the crossroads of her life and take things one step at a time.

He asked, "Do you know what your grandmother used to do?"

A hint of nostalgia crossed Li Qingyi's face: "She hasn't been able to do farm work in recent years, so she's stayed in the rented house, doing my laundry and cooking. She goes out every day to collect recyclables to supplement the family income. She used to farm in her hometown for years, and she was very healthy..."

Link pressed further: "What about earlier times? Like when you were younger?"

Li Qingyi shook her head: "She never mentioned it before, but at her funeral, several well-dressed people came to pay their respects and kowtow. I heard they were several well-known opera performers who had studied under my grandmother when they were young, and they came to see her off on her final journey."

Oh, and Grandma would often hum a few lines from traditional opera to cheer me up.

Link's eyes lit up. With Li Qingyi's corroboration, he was even more certain that Li Qingyi's grandmother was very likely a ghost tamer.

They even possess paranormal puzzles, specifically those related to ghost stories!
