Re-live your life and start speedrunning

"You..." The 'leader' Zhang Ju, who was yelled back, suddenly widened his eyes and was stunned again. He stared at Li Re in front of him... To be more precise, he was looking at the green fire that was already spreading under his feet, and also at the strange spiritual fire behind him that was already spreading in the city like a tidal wave.

At this moment, the green fire spread and expanded again.

At this moment, this mysterious burning fire was like a flood, or more like endless green algae that spread and grew in an instant, submerging all the light and shadow in sight!

The 'captains' paused and looked at the three fires that had been lit again on their shoulders.

But this time, it's not just them.

There were civilian players on the streets who were so desperate that they had given up struggling, or official players who were still holding on but couldn't avoid the fear in their hearts.

Those who were shivering in the shelters.

Fire also appeared in their eyes.

The green fire came from afar, covering their feet in an instant, climbing up their bodies, and finally igniting fire on their shoulders and heads.

This second.

The uproar of the wind echoed wildly.

This moment.

The crackling sound of the burning fire penetrated the sound of the wind and floated up -

Spreading throughout the city!

Green flames engulfed the entire city.

The 'leader' Zhang Ju finally realized the problem...

He looked at Li Re in front of him.

He looked at him and murmured in a low voice with feeling.

Murmuring the words that suddenly appeared in my heart.

Or in other words...

It's a 'weird story'!

It was the weird thing called "Lingguan" that Li Re had been spreading along the way!

"If you encounter strange and unfair things, ghost attacks, or cholera caused by demons, you can light three incense sticks, face north and worship. If the incense is green, you should hold the incense and walk."

"The Spirit Officer will come on fire!"

And this moment.

The whole city was on fire.

The fire reflected on everyone's shoulders.

They are all the burning, faint green incense!

Chapter 283: Falsehood, Conspiracy, and the Sky Collapses

The whole city was filled with fire, light, and incense. Under the burning light and shadow, the whole world seemed to be swallowed up by the mighty tide and turned into an endless deep green pool. Among the countless burning flames, the crackling sound was so wantonly that it overwhelmed all the sounds of the wind, roars, and demonic attacks!

The supernatural spreads here.

This moment.

The Demon City, which had originally become extremely dim due to the darkness falling from the sky and the Demon Pillar that connected the heaven and earth and became increasingly huge enough to block out all light in the surroundings, suddenly lit up - turning into an eerie green shadow.

This moment.

Not only the people there, but the entire city seemed to have become a 'fragrance' glowing with faint green fire!

Zhang Ju, the leader who was at a high place and in control of the professional power of players related to space, looked at Li Re in front of him and could naturally see the changes that occurred in the city in an instant.

He could see that just before this moment, the beasts in the streets of the city were ferocious, and the monsters that had invaded from another world along with the "Demon Pillar" were still baring their fangs and claws, and were extremely ferocious.

They rampaged through the streets, smashing countless protective fences built by official personnel and tearing apart the armored vehicles in front of them. The flying shells stirred up smoke and expanding flames, but they failed to leave even the slightest mark on them - modern technology and weapons are useless in the face of the unknown mystery, and the paradise profession that cannot break the mystery also collapses in front of it. Only a very few people can still hold on, but they are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

He can also see—

In the 'shelters' that were built under heavy protection and were extremely solid by the 'Imperial Capital General Affairs Office' and could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, countless people huddled there, shivering and trembling with fear on their faces. The atmosphere was solemn under the soft lighting, with faint sounds of fearful sobs and uncontrollable nervous trembling in the air... Then, there was a sudden loud bang and the walls on all four sides collapsed suddenly, and densely packed monsters rushed in through the smoke and dust!

The monsters tore through the front line of defense and arrived here! Countless pairs of scarlet eyes were shaking densely, making people's scalps numb at a glance.

The air suddenly became stagnant.

The sobbing and trembling could no longer be suppressed.

Some people began to flee in panic, some knelt down and begged for mercy, praying for a miracle, and some just stood there in a daze with a pale face, as if they had given up struggling.

The already heavy emotions turned into utter despair.

The endless monsters surging like a tide will really drown everyone like a flood...

Zhang Ju, who was standing on a high place, could feel all of this and couldn't help but feel excited.

He saw their helplessness, fear, and despair.

I could see that they were unwilling and angry.

But he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Zhang Ju thought that this was the fate that the "weak" should have, and this was the destination that the weak should welcome in the disaster.

At this moment, the sky became darker.

The darkness like the abyss was also slowly falling between the links of the Demon Pillars that penetrated the sky and the earth.

The feeling of despair grew.

Yes.

Zhang Ju, who possesses the power of space, can see everything in the city and every move of the city.

So he could also see what happened after these scenes.

Changes at this moment!

Suddenly, suddenly.

He saw a wind coming from the north and watering the whole city!

In the swaying wind, people seemed to hear an extremely subtle sound of burning flames.

They seemed to have gone back to a long, long time ago. The seventy-year-old man recalled the scene of his childhood listening to his parents telling ancient stories in the countryside. The middle-aged people in their forties and fifties recalled the strange rumors they occasionally heard when they were walking in the streets when they were young. The young people in their teens and twenties had their minds flashed with the bizarre legends they had recently seen and circulated on the Internet.

They remembered the strange story called "Spirit Officer".

This should have been the first time I heard this story, but it was so clear that I thought I should have remembered it long ago.

That's just weird talk.

That is just a false and mythical legend.

but--

In times of despair and despair, all people need is just a little bit of hope, even if it's a one in ten million chance!

Then someone started calling.

Some people began to pray seriously.

So, one second later.

The monster finally approached and drowned everything in sight.

The next second again!

The uproar flooded the surrounding areas, and dense green flames flew up like green buds that grew in an instant. The fire spread from under their feet, and the suddenly cold light covered the people who prayed in despair layer by layer, but there was not even a trace of boiling and burning feeling.

At this moment they happened to be bowing towards the north.

The fire at this moment also happened to ignite their shoulders and heads.

In an instant, the green fire spread like a forest.

The space seems to be stagnant.

A towering and ghostly shadow walked out from the will-o'-the-wisp fire ignited on each of them.

The figure came along the winding and strange path that emerged from the green fire as if responding to their expectations.

He was silent and cold, as quiet as a ghost, but he seemed to be saying to everyone:

"The Spiritual Officer is here, all evils retreat!"

Countless people, countless shadows.

Countless mouths.

Countless, in unison!

The sound shook the ears for a moment, filling the ears of every citizen in the Magic City. This sound ordered countless monsters to be instantly reduced to ashes, and also stirred the "leader" Zhang Ju, who was standing at the highest point of the Magic City, on the top floor of the central building, to step back half a step for the third time, his expression becoming more solemn!

His expression was uncertain, no longer as confident and excited as before! He found that Li Re, who was temporarily blocked by the power of space, still had some strength left. The spreading strange talk, the strange talk called "Spiritual Official" that spread in the hearts of countless people - and the clusters of green fires that were lit like incense and the ghosts and gods that walked out of the green fire, plus the newly stabilized Magic City... It was unquestionable evidence!

Although Zhang Ju had long known that Li Re possessed such ability.

But he could never have imagined that he would spread the supernatural power of ghost stories to such an extent - after all, ghost stories formed by the fear gathered from rumors are actually the rarest type of supernatural abilities, and can even be called "pseudo-supernatural".

The foundation of this supernatural thing is false.

It comes from the floating human heart, from the fleeting emotions in the human heart - pride, fear, greed, jealousy...

"Yes!"

The leader seemed to understand something and spoke:

"Because ghost stories originate from human hearts, they are most closely connected to reality. You can also use these unreal ghost stories to connect to the 'ghost road' behind you, and then connect to reality - so that your countless clones can walk out of it!"

"'Spirit King' Li Re, I underestimated you."

"You are not inferior to the ruler and the old man in the slightest!"

The Leader took a deep breath and said so.

"I have to compliment you, too - you're not a psychic player, but you know so much about psychic powers. And you still say you're well-informed or something?"

Li Re also dropped his hands in response! The corners of his mouth raised and he spoke very naturally, naturally mocking! He mocked the other party for just remembering it now!

Behind Li Re was still the long and strange path.

But the densely packed figures were no longer seen on the road, only countless winding and twisting "forks" that had not existed originally.

Among them, countless 'Li Re' have already walked out of the Yin-Yang Road.

It transformed into countless 'Spirit King Dharma Images' and appeared in reality, appearing in front of everyone!

This was indeed his plan long ago - he thought that only in this way could the complete 'self' be revealed in reality, and only in this way could he fully demonstrate his own strength.

Complete, powerful—he who could be killed!

Before he finished, Li Re continued, "The facts prove that you are not the only one who has the ability to use the opponent's force to counter attack."

The 'leader' narrowed his eyes and was somewhat speechless.

Because what Li Re said was the truth, he was indeed using the opponent's force to fight against him - using his own strength!

"Ghost stories" are false, floating human hearts gathered together with rumors as the foundation, but now, under the oppression of the doomsday disaster, everyone is afraid, and everyone is longing - longing for salvation, longing for redemption, longing for something to help them.

Ordinary people trapped in shelters.

Those players who are desperate on the battlefield.

Those officials who were holding on with all their might.

Even those powerful 'captains'.

Such desire gives ghost stories the foundation for their existence, and such fear formed under oppression creates short-lived, extremely powerful supernatural stories!

The resulting supernatural expansion seems to have no end.

As a result, the 'fork' in the Yin-Yang Road that stretched out behind Li Re seemed endless.

This is a conspiracy.

This is a situation that the Leader cannot avoid no matter what.
