Mysterious Revival: My Path Through the Door

Chapter 9 The Scheme of the Parchment

Inside the hotel's luxury suite.

After washing up, Link didn't go straight to sleep. Instead, he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the Happiness Community in the distance.

The streets are now brightly lit and bustling, but inside the Happiness Community, it is dark, with only the lights on in the first-floor apartments.

The fourth unit on the fourth floor of the fourth building is Link's home in this world.

The lighting in the apartment was very abnormal, a dim yellow like that of a tungsten bulb from the last century, with a strange green tinge.

The city's law enforcement agency has already sealed off the neighborhood, and the number of missing persons reported is as high as 86, making it unlikely that any survivors have been found.

"The only good news is that the ghost from the source is still staying at my house."

Thinking about tomorrow's plan of action, Link took out his phone and opened the family files of this world.

His mother died early, and his father, Lin Duoliang, was a gambling addict who squandered the family fortune left by his grandfather and repeatedly led his son to beg on the streets.

He also has several scars on his face from taking away customers from other beggars.

Eight years ago, Lin Duoliang disappeared with his son for two years. When he reappeared, he was extravagant and had excellent luck at gambling. He made a fortune in an underground gambling den in Dachang City and bought a property in the best community at the time, Xingfu Community, in full.

A year after buying the house, Lin Duoliang disappeared completely, and his son Lin Ke began to live independently.

Upon seeing this, Link's first reaction was that Lin Duoliang had come into contact with supernatural powers and had even obtained some supernatural items.

He quickly pulled out the body's records, and sure enough, the body's upbringing from age eleven to fourteen was a blank.

Scroll down further, and the first image is a photo of him when he was fourteen and started school.

Link's heart skipped a beat.

The boy in the photo has a vacant look in his eyes and pale skin, which fits the image of an orphan living alone.

But in Link's eyes, the boy's appearance seemed like a hodgepodge, full of incongruity, and he was a completely different person from his own face.

Therefore, this body may have been affected by supernatural forces, or even not be human at all.

The further Link scrolled down, the more certain he became of his guess.

The "Link" in the photo looks almost like a composite of his classmates, without any distinctive features of his own.

Even the last photo taken three months ago shows a stark contrast to the current Link.

Even more terrifying is that a mysterious force makes everyone believe that the two Links are the same person.

Link frowned deeply: "Such power could not possibly belong to a ghost that summons people. In other words, there is very likely another vengeful ghost in Happiness Community 4-4-4, and that is the real 'Link'?"

Looks like I'll have to call Yan Li tomorrow, just to be on the safe side.

The information wasn't finished. Link flipped through it once and then his gaze fell on an old man.

That was Lin Duoliang's father, Lin Qingyuan, who was born in the previous supernatural era—the Republican era.

Lin Qingyuan's ancestral home was Shantang Village, Xiaofeng City. He had military experience and ran a bookstore in Dachang City in his later years. Unfortunately, it was squandered by Lin Duoliang, and he had no choice but to return to his hometown, where he passed away fifteen years ago.

Lin Qingyuan left behind three photos: a portrait of his death, a full-body photo in military uniform, and a photo of his life in his later years.

The old man in the black and white photo has only one arm and one eye. He stands outside a Qingyuan Bookstore with a kind smile on his face.

Coincidentally, Lin Qingyuan's missing arm is his right arm.

This reminded Link of the gesture of the summoner waving its arms.

"It shouldn't be a coincidence. Lin Qingyuan was probably a ghost tamer during the Republic of China era. He may not have reached the level of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, but he was definitely not weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dismembered his own supernatural body before his death."

The "Ghost of People" is suspected to be a supernatural entity dismembered by Old Master Lin Qingyuan. It should have been buried in a coffin, but Lin Duoliang, a gambling addict, dug it up, leading to the deaths of many innocent people.

Connecting the dots in his mind, Link felt more confident about tomorrow's detention operation.

"This isn't safe enough. Let's reinforce it with astrology and parchment."

Link was very cautious when he first encountered a vengeful spirit outside the original storyline.

As the apprentice ghost's supernatural powers were activated, the lights in the room began to flicker, and a chilling atmosphere spread.

"Will tomorrow's operation to imprison the vengeful ghost go smoothly?"

"The operation to imprison the vengeful ghost tomorrow..."

After five repetitions, the astrological crystal ball displayed images of three figures leaving the Happiness Community, indicating that the operation was successful.

Link then took out a parchment from the locked gold box and asked, "Tell me, when will I die?"

The parchment seemed dead, remaining motionless for a long time.

Link's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "Do you believe I'd feed you to starving ghosts before I die?"

The parchment seemed to tremble slightly, and its surface reluctantly revealed itself:

"My name is Link. By the time you see this, I will already be dead..."

"At 7:30 PM on July 25th, I will die from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost. Before that, I must ask the paper in my hand that can foresee the future how to control the second vengeful ghost. This paper is easy to talk to. Perhaps as long as I agree to a trivial condition, I can exchange it for a chance to live."

Link sneered, "Nonsense! Go back to your lair."

With a "click," the golden box was locked again and sealed with a golden body bag.

Even where Link couldn't see, writing still lingered on the parchment:

"This person has been refusing to fall for my tricks, and I have failed again. But it doesn't matter. He is blocking the path of another ghost, which is already on its way. Once he dies, I can devour his ghost and regain my freedom."

Hehe, I'm going to win!

……

Silent all night.

At 8:30 a.m., Lin Ke and his two companions met outside the gate of Xingfu Residential Area.

Link handed his phone to Yan Li and said, "Take a look at the information. There's likely more than one vengeful ghost inside. Be prepared for the worst."

Yan Li was not in good condition; there were faint traces of blood on the edge of his gloves.

That wasn't ghost blood overflowing, but rather ghost blood expelling Yan Li's own blood.

He eagerly said, "The ghosts have a strong blood pressure control. As long as I can repeat yesterday's operation, the two ghosts can create another 60 million in value for me."

Link shook his head and said, "You don't need to take action unless absolutely necessary. I brought you here today just to observe Yang Jian and me working together and to experience the company culture, not to die from a resurrected ghost on your first day of work."

Yang Jian looked at the data on his satellite phone, comparing the "Link" in the photo with the Link in front of him several times, and his expression became extremely ugly.

If the "Link" in the neighborhood is his classmate who has been taking classes with him for several years, then who is this Link in front of him?

Facing Yang Jian's gaze, Link said calmly, "I'd also like to know who the real Link is, but don't worry, our shared interests won't be affected by an external identity."

Yang Jian nodded silently, his voice low: "Go in now? Use Ghost Domain to clear the way?"

"No rush, headquarters has provided me with some supernatural items that can help me save my life."
