I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 100 The person who walked out of Ghost Street stepped into the spotlight.

"Did you see wrong?"

Liu San withdrew his hand, bent down to pick up the lens from the ground, and looked at it. His pupils suddenly contracted.

In the lens, Lin Yuan was standing there, staring at him calmly.

He had only attacked because he saw Lin Yuan in the mirror, but he hadn't touched anything.

But now, he saw Lin Yuan in the mirror again. Lin Yuan was standing behind him, staring at him with a strange look.

"A ghost realm? Or are you actually inside a mirror?"

However, the next moment, colorful lines suddenly appeared on Lin Yuan's face in the mirror. These colorful lines intertwined and outlined a face resembling an actor's mask, covering the wooden-textured face.

At the same time, a chilling coldness surged from behind.

He whirled around and finally saw Lin Yuan behind him. "Are you... a human or a ghost?"

"Aren't you going to make a move?" Lin Yuan asked.

This was also an attempt on his part.

The faceless ghost resides in a deep ghost realm, but the actor's mask has colorful patterns. Its supernatural power should be able to serve as a medium to allow the faceless ghost's body to manifest in reality.

Sure enough, his line of thinking was correct.

That's good.

And those who can speak are, of course, people.

Liu San made his judgment and relaxed slightly. "I'm just a paper doll now, no match for you, and you're stronger than before. You've controlled that invisible ghost?"

Lin Yuan did not answer. The theatrical patterns on his face disappeared again, and his figure vanished from Liu San's sight once more, leaving only the words: "You wanted to control my ghost? I used more than a dozen of your paper figures. We're even."

Are we even now?

Liu San's face twisted in a grimace as he picked up the broken piece of glass from the ground and stuffed it into his pocket. "You used me, wasting so many of my paper dolls to control new ghosts, and you think you can settle things with just a few words? There's no such thing as a free lunch. You cowardly coward, you don't even dare to say your own name. I'll come find you when I get out!"

Lin Yuan hadn't gone far; he had simply entered the mirror world through the lens.

He heard Liu San's words, but he didn't attack him or try to find Liu San's true form. He had more important things to do.

There was a corpse on the path in the mirror space. It was left behind after Lin Yuan died when he entered the illusionary realm. All the supernatural elements had been stripped away, and it had become an ordinary corpse.

The only difference is that it has no facial features.

This was the first time he had seen his own corpse from a first-person perspective, and his feelings were somewhat complicated. He then collected the dozen or so mirrors that had been prepared on the corpse, and then carried the corpse into one of the mirrors.

……

Taiping Ancient Town, Ghost Street.

"Standing here daydreaming again? Didn't you say you'd found a way to regain your dignity? What, you still need your dad to make it for you personally?"

The washerwoman walked by carrying a wooden basin, and when she saw the faceless man standing in front of the mask stall, she sneered and mocked him.

Before he finished speaking, the mask stall suddenly made a sound, as if something had broken.

Before the two could react, the masks on the mask stall began to weather away one by one, and the stall itself lost its support and collapsed to the ground, crooked and dizzy.

"Why!"

A faint, aged sigh came from somewhere, as if foreshadowing the end of a memory.

The faceless man froze, then slowly turned around, his faceless skin facing the direction of the laundry woman.

The laundry woman cried out in a panic, "It wasn't me!"

"Of course not, and you don't have that ability!"

The one-eyed old man approached from a distance, gazing at the mask stall on the ground, which appeared to have been abandoned for a long time. A trace of sadness flashed in his remaining eye. "Another one has left this world, but this time it was deliberate. We never cause trouble, but we will absolutely not allow anyone to be so arrogant!"

The laundry woman asked urgently, "You want to walk out?"

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I'm leaving this matter to you. If you need anything, contact Yin'er and ask her for help. She's currently working for the headquarters and is in charge of a city; she should have the connections."

The one-eyed old man stared at the faceless man.

The faceless man nodded, turned and left, soon exiting Ghost Street and returning to reality.

At this moment, he also put on a mask that looked very ordinary.

It was strange, but much more normal than having no face at all. Then he walked out in one direction.

He could feel that shared origin, a feeling that, though distant, was incredibly real.

……

"Lin...Lin Yuan?"

Seeing the man who suddenly appeared, carrying a corpse in his hand, Chen Ming was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body. He thought that another supernatural event had occurred.

However, when he saw the mask on the man's face, he suddenly recalled the Great Sage mask on Lin Yuan's face when he first met him, and the patterns on the two were somewhat similar.

Moreover, the mask seemed to be seven-tenths similar to Lin Yuan's facial features and contours, so I made a bold guess.

"it's me."

Lin Yuan dropped the corpse in his hand and turned to look at the golden coffin beside him.

There was a person lying in the coffin, none other than Li Fei.

He was holding a round lens in his hands, barely breathing, like a real corpse.

"We prepared the golden coffin and mirror yesterday as you requested, but you didn't come back. Then last night, Li Fei had an accident and suddenly fell into a coma, and hasn't woken up since. I was afraid that his vengeful ghost would rise again, so I put him in the coffin and had some arrangements made. Fortunately, you're back. Please see if you can revive him, just like you did last time."

Chen Ming explained.

The lid of the golden coffin was still very heavy. He didn't have the strength of Lin Yuan and Li Fei. It was impossible for one person to close the coffin lid. Now, some machinery had been set up. He only needed to press a button, and the coffin lid would be completely closed.

"He won't come back to life as a vengeful ghost." Lin Yuan didn't explain further. "Carry him out, then you go out first, so you don't scare him later."

"Hey! How could I be scared? I've seen my share of big scenes, okay?" Chen Ming laughed.

He was a witness to both the distant Ghost Bell Tower incident and the more recent Ghost Tree incident.

Especially the Ghost Tree incident; he had witnessed the scene of countless corpses falling from the Ghost Tree.

He survived back then, so how can he be scared now?

joke!

Chen Ming rolled up his sleeves, picked Li Ming up again, carefully moved aside the corpse that Lin Yuan had brought back, and placed Li Ming on the sofa.

He also took the opportunity to glance at the corpse, which had no face.

"This is?"

"My body," Lin Yuan said.

"You've learned to joke too, hahaha...haha..." Chen Ming's laughter gradually stopped. He looked at the clothes on the corpse, then at the clothes Lin Yuan was wearing now. His expression suddenly became somewhat serious. "You are like this, An Xiao is like this, Li Fei is the same. They are all like this. You...you are really remarkable."

"Don't get sentimental, I just live for myself, I'm not as saintly as you think."

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, showing great disdain for Chen Ming's remarks.

Chen Ming smiled silently, saying nothing more, but his eyes clearly said:

I see!

You don't understand a damn thing!

Lin Yuan couldn't stand that kind of look, so he simply ignored him and went straight to Li Fei, reaching out to grab Li Fei's face.

The wood grain spread out, covering Li Fei's face, and then with a gentle lift, Li Fei's face was removed, revealing another face underneath.

This is Li Fei's own face.

However, most of the facial features had disappeared, leaving only a left eye without an eyebrow and a slightly open mouth on the right side, which was about two-thirds of the way open.

Everywhere else, there was smooth skin and flesh, and even the outline of the facial features had disappeared without a trace.

"Holy shit!"

Chen Ming's body stiffened instantly, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

"Scared?" Lin Yuan asked without turning his head, his tone calm but teasing.

Chen Ming's lips trembled slightly, but he forced himself to say, "I am indeed a little scared. I was exaggerating just now. But you have made sacrifices for this city. You are truly remarkable."

"snort!"

Lin Yuan didn't speak again, but Chen Ming seemed to have understood something and continued, "You may not like to hear this, but everything you've done will eventually be remembered and won't be erased."

Lin Yuan did not reply, as if he had not heard.

He grabbed his face with his hand and tore it off with force, revealing a piece of skin with distorted facial features, as if it were still alive.

Chen Ming swallowed hard, then looked closely and realized that it wasn't human skin at all, but clearly a piece of dried tree bark.

Lin Yuan pressed Li Fei's face against the bark, and the wrinkles on his palm spread out onto the bark, like needle and thread, stitching the face and the bark together.

Ten minutes passed before the colorful patterns faded, and the bark transformed back into a human face. The features on it were those of Li Fei, and apart from some wood grain, it was not much different from a normal person's face.

Is that a face?

It should be a human skin mask, right?

Lin Yuan, Li Fei... are they really still human?

Chen Ming crossed his arms in front of his chest, a posture that should have been relaxed and assertive, but unfortunately, his body was too tense and strained, making him appear nervous and uneasy.

Lin Yuan put the human skin back on Li Fei's face.

The human skin was pressed tightly against Li Fei's face, with almost no gaps visible; it was exactly the same face that had grown onto Li Fei's body.

The next moment, Li Fei opened his eyes.

"Uncle?"

Li Fei sat up, not frightened by Lin Yuan's terrifying mask, but immediately recognized Lin Yuan. "Thank you for saving me again."

Uncle?

How many times have I corrected it?

Lin Yuan was exhausted and too lazy to correct him anymore. "Just don't blame me for dragging you back to hell."

hell?

Li Fei was taken aback, then nodded. "This place is indeed hell for people like us, but it is their paradise."

"Knowing you're a college student, don't try to preach to me here."

Lin Yuan turned around, picked up his own body, threw it directly into the golden coffin, and then pulled the coffin lid over and closed it, clean and efficient.

It's a pity that the equipment Chen Ming arranged was completely destroyed by Lin Yuan's rough handling.

"Find some clothes, the stench of this body is too strong, it's unpleasant to smell." Lin Yuan tugged at his old-fashioned clothes, clearly disgusted.

"It'll be ready soon."

Chen Ming made a phone call to make arrangements, "Deliver it in ten minutes. Lin Yuan, what are your plans now?"

"Contact headquarters and tell them I'm still alive and want to join headquarters."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming and Li Fei were both visibly taken aback.

The arrangements when Lin Yuan appeared a couple of days ago were not like this; he clearly wanted to hide his identity, and for this reason, he even made Li Fei the person in charge of Xiaonan City.

Why did Lin Yuan change his mind in just one day?

Judging from Lin Yuan's expression, Chen Ming knew he wouldn't explain. Chen Ming was happy to see this, so he took out his phone again and called headquarters. "You're right to think that way. How can going it alone compare to having headquarters as your backing? Wait, it's connected. Captain Zhao, this is Chen Ming from Xiaonan City..."

While Chen Ming was on the phone, Li Fei asked worriedly, "Uncle, is the matter resolved?"

Instead of answering, Lin Yuan asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Knowing that Lin Yuan was testing him, Li Fei was not afraid and thought seriously, "Ever since Taiping Ancient Town, you seem to be searching for something, or hiding from something. After returning from Lakeside Park this time, you are unwilling to expose yourself, which means that the guy watching you is very scary, and even you have no way to deal with him."

I had initially thought it might be a terrifying ghost, but you said you wanted to join headquarters, which is very illogical given your previous attitude towards headquarters.

There shouldn't be anyone at headquarters who can compare to you, Uncle; otherwise, headquarters wouldn't value you so much.

Therefore, it's impossible to deal with a demon using the headquarters' power; the only one that can be dealt with is a human, and one with a special identity.

Either someone standing in the spotlight wouldn't dare to act recklessly against people at headquarters, or someone like a rat hiding in the gutter wouldn't dare to expose their existence.

Uncle, am I right?

Lin Yuan praised, "As expected of the person I chose, you're pretty close. Rather than hiding, it's better to stand in the spotlight. The person watching me might be more cautious and restrained in their plans, preventing them from using any means necessary against me. Unfortunately, I still have some last resorts that should cause that person a lot of trouble, but if I actually do that, he might go to any lengths to deal with me."

As for what methods were used?

It's very simple: write down the mysterious resurrection in your memory in this world, then publish it worldwide, so that everyone can see a predetermined future.

By then, the world will surely be very lively, won't it?

Unfortunately, this idea was destined to remain just an idea.

Old Qin once said that Lin Yuan is a person without a past or future, so it is impossible to peek into his future by communicating with the future, but the premise is that he cannot cause too much impact.

Otherwise, it will be like yesterday in Dachang City.

When the faceless ghost approached Yang Jian, it was impossible for Ghost Painting to have passed through Dachang City for no reason. Then the faceless ghost abandoned Yang Jian and was not imprisoned by Ghost Painting. Despite not having the ability to travel through mirror space, it was able to chase Lin Yuan around everywhere.

They even went to the foot of Kangjin Mountain, a place that seemed to be a real place without any supernatural power.

If he were to actually write down and publish the mystery of the resurrection globally, the future of this world would definitely be turned upside down.

By then, how could Old Master Qin not know?

Going back to the source, it might just happen the moment he's about to make a move, when he slaps him to death... Oh no, according to the original story of Whitewater Town, that old man should be driving a supernatural bus to hit him.

He had nowhere to hide.

As for Lin Yuan's current strength, is he an anomaly?

That was just the old man's starting point.

Having gone through so much hardship, even relying on a gamble, and having used up countless amounts of luck to get to this point, he has no absolute certainty of succeeding even if he were to try again.

It's just playing chess!

Old Qin, a chess player, stood outside the chessboard called Mysterious Revival, overlooking the entire game.

Then this piece, which was not in the game, has entered the game and become an important piece that cannot be ignored. It remains to be seen whether this player dares to risk being discovered by the other pieces and attacking him.

As for the initial idea of ​​collaborating with Zhang Xianguang, it was temporarily shelved and kept as a backup plan.

"I understand, so what do I need to do?" Li Fei asked.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Originally, I wanted you to draw fire for me, but now the plan has changed, so you're no longer of any use. Now, you can live according to your own wishes."

Live according to your own ideas?

Li Fei's eyes were full of confusion, as if he was trying to figure out what he was thinking.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Ming, who had been waiting, handed over his phone. "Headquarters Captain Zhao Jianguo, he is in charge of a liaison room with more than thirty operators inside."

"It's an acquaintance, I've met him before."

Lin Yuan answered the phone. "Captain Zhao, it's been a long time."

"It's been a long time. A month ago in Dachang City, you took Minister Cao's bribe and then disappeared. If we hadn't learned about your character from Chen Ming, we would have suspected that you had taken the bribe and run away."

Zhao Jianguo's voice is cheerful and magnanimous.

It was like an old friend joking around, and he mentioned his initial suspicions again, while also taking the opportunity to give Chen Ming credit.

Lin Yuan glanced at Chen Ming.

Chen Ming shrugged helplessly, pointed to himself, and then to Lin Yuan.

"I understand, I will thank him properly," Lin Yuan said.

Zhao Jianguo laughed and said, "Let's not talk about what happened back then. Chen Ming said you're willing to join headquarters? That's a good thing. With your abilities, you'll definitely receive special training from headquarters. They're currently preparing a new employee training program, so why don't you come to headquarters first, and we can talk in person?"

Is the progress so fast?

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Captain Zhao is being so enthusiastic, could it be that he's planning to lure me to headquarters and force me to return all the money I received last time?"

"Haha! How could that be? Lin Yuan, you underestimate the headquarters' resources. Back then, even a single red ghost candle was a very precious item, but a month or two has passed. Even if mass production is no longer possible, it's no longer that scarce. Moreover, your contributions to the headquarters in dealing with the Ghost Bell Tower and Ghost Tree are enough to justify the value of those ghost candles."

Inside the liaison room, Zhao Jianguo kept glancing towards the door as he talked.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when Cao Yanhua strode in. "Lin Yuan, wait a moment, Minister Cao is here. He heard about your situation and took it very seriously, so he immediately ended his meeting and rushed over."

He then handed the phone to Cao Yanhua.

Cao Yanhua said solemnly, "Lin Yuan, it's so good that you're alive."

Lin Yuan was slightly moved by the deep concern shown to him. "Minister Cao, please speak frankly. I accepted your invitation to join headquarters last time, and I can go to headquarters as Captain Zhao suggested, but there are some things I need to explain in advance."

If you're going to stand in the spotlight, then stand in it completely.

Cao Yanhua frowned slightly. "Okay, go ahead."

"I want a spot in the Captain Program. Don't tell me there's no such program, and don't ask me where I found out about it," Lin Yuan stated his conditions.

There are city leaders all over the country, but there are only twelve team leaders.

If you want to stand in the spotlight, even a fool knows which one to choose!

"Well... you deserve credit, but we need to consider all aspects. How about this, come to headquarters first, and we'll have a proper discussion then, what do you think?"

"Can."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Yanhua looked at Zhao Jianguo with a furrowed brow.

Zhao Jianguo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained, "Vice Minister, I didn't reveal any information about the team leader plan! It could be Cao Yang; he's one of the designated team leaders. Last time in Dachang City, he was clearly trying to curry favor with Lin Yuan, so it's possible..."

"That's enough!"

Cao Yang reveals the captain's plan?

Cao Yanhua might have suspected anyone else, but he would never doubt his stubborn and proud nephew. "It doesn't matter who leaked the information. Since Lin Yuan has spoken, let's wait for him to come and see if he has the ability. It's not like two months ago!"

Two months ago, Lin Yuan's ability to handle S-level paranormal events was enough to make people wary.

Two months later, the strength of the people in charge at headquarters had also been greatly improved, especially those who were designated as captains, who were no less capable than Lin Yuan.

The captain positions have been basically finalized, and all candidates are individuals with both merit and ability.

Want a captain's spot?

Sure, then let's show our strength!

If you don't have enough strength, then you should just work for headquarters honestly.

"clear!"

In Xiaonan City, Chen Ming took the phone and said, "Headquarters contacted Li Fei yesterday and asked him to come and participate in the new recruit training. You can go together."

He paused, then asked, "What is the captain's plan?"

Lin Yuan glanced at him and said, "The ticket to the warlord era."

What?

Chen Ming's eyes widened, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could headquarters possibly create something like this? Aren't they afraid of it being censored?"

Just kidding.

"This joke isn't funny at all."

Chen Ming looked resentful. If he didn't know he couldn't beat Lin Yuan, he really wanted to go up and give the kid a good beating to vent his anger.

Do you really think you're living a simple life?

"Keep a few extra lenses, so I can contact you immediately if anything happens."
