I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 90 The Fallen Corpse, The Performer Invading Reality

"Thank you. We were already aware of the situation before we came, and we were confident."

Chen Hong nodded her thanks and then went into the hospital.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the tree in the hospital kills people by unknown means, but as long as no living person is within the hospital grounds and the exact time has passed, the tree will remain quiet for the rest of the day.

This is a pattern that has already been discovered.

Chen Hong's confidence stems from the fact that people who possess special items not only have special abilities but also a certain degree of resistance to special attacks, preventing them from being as powerless as ordinary people.

As Lin Yuan walked past the staff member, he suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you Chen Ming?"

The staff member paused, then asked in confusion, "I'm Chen Ming. Excuse me... do we know each other?"

He had no recollection of having any connections in Huadu City.

Lin Yuan didn't explain, nor could he explain. He couldn't very well say that he had seen her in the illusionary city of Xiaonan, or that law enforcement officer who was specifically responsible for liaising with city officials, could he?

It was another familiar person, with the exact same face.

This time, however, he is no longer a ghost tamer, but an ordinary person.

"What did you see? Is he going to die?" After entering the hospital and confirming that Chen Ming couldn't hear the conversation, Chen Hong asked.

Lin Yuan shook his head. "It's not easy to explain."

"You're quite direct. Alright, I won't ask any more questions. Let's go, it's almost seven o'clock, I still need to make some preparations so we're not caught off guard."

After walking a short distance inside, you can see some of the tree's branches and leaves.

The tree, once a symbol of vitality for the hospital, now represents death and fear—how ironic.

The two quickly arrived at the seventh floor of the outpatient building, where they could see the tree in general, and even a branch was reaching out that they could touch.

In addition, there are a dozen or so logs here, which were specially delivered and prepared yesterday.

"Now, do you still see it as a dead tree?" Chen Hong asked.

Lin Yuan took a closer look and said, quite puzzled, "No, to me it looks like a normal big tree. But this shouldn't be happening, right?"

"Special items generally have specific timeframes, and this is probably no exception now."

Chen Hong offered a word of comfort, then picked up a brush and drew a face on a log. The next moment, a wooden figure emerged from the branches, crossed the fence, and stood beside Chen Hong.

"Do you see more of the woody texture on my face?" Chen Hong asked again.

Lin Yuan understood what she meant. "It's more, but not too obvious. If it's just this ability, you can probably use it about a hundred more times before your skin is completely covered by the wood grain."

"A hundred times? That should be enough."

Using the same method, Chen Hong created three more wooden figures, making a total of four. "Time's almost up, don't resist."

The four wooden figures split into two groups, walked to Chen Hong and Lin Yuan respectively, and then took each other's hands, surrounding Chen Hong and Lin Yuan in the middle.

The four wooden figures were all quite large, so the space they enclosed wasn't too cramped.

Lin Yuan clearly felt that the air inside and outside seemed to have stopped circulating, as if the space formed by the two wooden figures holding hands had become a barrier.

Finally, it was seven o'clock.

It's the height of summer now, and it's already bright at seven in the morning. In order to take care of this big tree, the hospital specially left space overhead during its construction, with a huge transparent glass panel to ensure that sunlight can shine down.

But when seven o'clock arrived, even though the sunlight was still there, the surrounding space was rapidly darkening.

At the same time, the once vibrant tree was rapidly decaying, all its green leaves disappearing, and its full branches quickly withering away.

Corpses appeared out of thin air on the tree branches, their abdomens pierced through.

"Sister Hong, did you see that?"

Lin Yuan asked in a dry voice.

Chen Hong nodded, her expression serious. "Those corpses have inexplicably reappeared. It's really strange. Lin Yuan, what else did you see?"

Lin Yuan described what he had seen, then his expression suddenly changed drastically. "Sister Hong, be careful! We might be in danger. The person has been corrupted."

"I saw it."

Chen Hong did see it; the facial features of the wooden figures surrounding them were blurring, and once their faces disappeared, they would lose all their effect.

"Let's get out of here first."

Chen Hong took out a brush and repainted the facial features on the wooden figure's face, but unfortunately, she was too slow, or rather, this special attack was too terrifying.

The moment the brush touched the face of the first wooden figure, the figure crumbled into a pile of dust and fell to the ground.

A cold and damp feeling came over her, and Chen Hong even heard the sound of waves. Her consciousness gradually sank into chaos in the sound.

"Sister Hong, watch out!"

Lin Yuan ran to the railing and looked down, his eyes fixed on the thick shadow on the ground.

Chen Hong felt a lightness in her body and began to breathe heavily. Turning her head, she saw Lin Yuan's actions and knew what he was doing. Without saying anything, she ran to the piece of wood she had prepared earlier and started drawing frantically with a brush.

She moved very quickly, and seven wooden figures emerged one after another, forming a circle around Chen Hong, and then ran towards Lin Yuan.

"Walk!"

Chen Hong grabbed Lin Yuan and saw that the upper half of Lin Yuan's face was almost completely covered by the colorful opera patterns. She felt a chill in her heart, but without any hesitation, she jumped over the railing.

boom!

At a height of over twenty meters, an ordinary person would have been killed long ago if they jumped down, but thanks to the wooden figure's protection, Chen Hong and Lin Yuan were completely unharmed.

However, the faces of the seven wooden figures became very blurry.

Chen Hong pulled Lin Yuan to leave, but found that the surroundings were pitch black, and even the ground was covered with cold, thick water that reached up to their knees.

Pfft!

Pfft!Pfft!

Above their heads, one corpse after another fell from the tree branches, far exceeding the number of the ten they had seen earlier.

Looking up, the branches of the withered tree were covered with corpses.

The reason why the body fell down was because the tree branches were bent under the weight of the body and could not support it.

One body after another plunged into the water, splashing up huge sprays, accompanied by a strong stench of decay that made one want to vomit.

A flicker of fear crossed Chen Hong's eyes; clearly, this was something she had never encountered before in handling special cases. "The environment has actually changed? Lin Yuan, I finally believe what you said now."

"Sister Hong, we still have a chance. Your brush only works on wood, right? This tree is made of wood. If you can draw a face on the trunk, maybe it will work."

Upon hearing that voice, Chen Hong was startled. "Your voice..."

Lin Yuan was also stunned, simply because the voice he spoke had become very soft, no longer like his original voice, but rather like a woman's deliberate tone.

He touched his face and then looked down at the puddles.

The reflection on the water's surface wasn't him, but... a mirror-like actor!

It caught up with us!

Lin Yuan's pupils were filled with horror. The next moment, the mirror-like figure, which was clearly just a reflection, suddenly reached out from the water and grabbed at Lin Yuan's face.

Lin Yuan tried to dodge, but the facial features on his face seemed to come alive and twist wildly.

The excruciating pain nearly made him faint, and he completely lost the ability to escape.

"Get out of here!"

Two wooden figures lunged forward, grabbing the arm tightly and plunging into the water. Chen Hong cried out urgently, "Lin Yuan! Are you alright?"

"It's alright, let's deal with this tree first!"

Lin Yuan covered his face with his hands, his voice completely changed, filled with a final, desperate madness, "I only have one chance, Sister Hong, my life... is in your hands!"

"good!"

Chen Hong had many questions, such as the sudden change in environment and the arm in the costume that was sticking out of the water.

But she knew now was not the time to ask more questions.

Lin Yuan looked at the tree's reflection in the puddles again, and terrifying colorful patterns grew wildly on the tree's reflection.

He's already gone all out!

His clean face was completely covered by wrinkles, making it impossible to recognize his original appearance.

"Lin Yuan!"

Chen Hong roared and rushed to the tree trunk. She pressed the brush hard against the trunk. This time, she spent more time than before, and the painted face was more realistic.

In the reflection on the water, the wood grain on her skin became more and more prominent, and she almost turned into a dressed wooden doll.

With the final stroke, an adult-sized face was completed.

Upon closer inspection, it was clearly no different from Lin Yuan's face, except that his eyes were closed and not open.

"Did we lose?"

Feeling the darkness engulfing her, Chen Hong closed her eyes, completely lost consciousness, and her body slumped down.

Just then, a pair of large hands reached out and pulled her into their arms.

"Ah Hong? Ah Hong!"

Li Jun called out urgently, but Chen Hong kept her eyes tightly closed and showed no sign of waking up.

"Captain Li, let's take Sister Hong to the hospital first. I have a feeling something's off about this place." Lin Bei rubbed his arms, staring warily at the big tree in front of him.

"it is good."

Half a day later, Chen Hong finally opened her eyes.

Looking at the pristine white ceiling and Lin Bei and the others watching over her bedside, she hurriedly asked, "Where's Lin Yuan? Have you seen him?"

Lin Bei and Zhang Jian exchanged glances. "No. Sister Hong, can you tell me what happened? How come you were in the hospital for three days and then disappeared?"

"Three days? What three days?"

Chen Hong was very puzzled. She and Lin Yuan had only been inside for less than half an hour, so how could they have stayed for three whole days?

"Sister Hong, don't get agitated. This matter might be a bit complicated. Captain Li is investigating at the scene. Let's wait for him to return before discussing it further."

Chen Hong was too emotional, and Lin Bei and Zhang Jian were very worried, so they could only comfort her.

More than an hour later, Li Jun returned, and Chen Hong recounted everything that had happened after she and Lin Yuan entered the hospital.

"That place is strange, like entering another world. Li Jun, you haven't found Lin Yuan, could he be trapped inside?"

Chen Hong asked eagerly.

In the past few days, she has truly treated Lin Yuan like a younger brother, and Lin Yuan had clearly risked his life for her before.

If Lin Yuan dies in the hospital, how will she face Lin Yue?

"I investigated carefully and didn't find the other world you mentioned. Also, the pattern of killings every morning at seven o'clock should have changed over the past three days; we didn't encounter any attacks when we went in today. As for the specifics, we'll need to test it for a few more days."

The special incident has been dealt with, which is good news.

but.

What if you lose a teammate who could see the death progress and the cost of using special items?

……

"Minister Cao, when can you send another person in charge? Even if there isn't one, could you arrange for someone from the nearest location to come over? We suspect another paranormal event has occurred here; we can't leave no one here!"

In Xiaonan City, Chen Mingzheng was on the phone with a worried expression on his face.

He originally did not have the authority to call Cao Yanhua, but for some reason, when he contacted Zhao Jianguo, who was originally in charge of contacting Peng Anxiao, the call was answered by Cao Yanhua.

Since that's the case, he won't waste this opportunity.

A deputy minister should have more say than a liaison office leader or team leader, right?

Cao Yanhua frowned and said, "A paranormal event? Hasn't there been no paranormal event in Xiaonan City since the Ghost Bell Tower incident?"

"It was quiet for a while, but something has definitely happened again recently."

Chen Ming quickly began to explain.

The Ghost Bell Tower was the first S-level paranormal event to occur in China. After the paranormal event ended, Xiaonan City was indeed quiet for a while.

However, starting a few days ago, a large tree has grown in the lakeside park that was previously closed off.

The tree was as tall as a ten-story building, and there were no particularly tall buildings nearby, so the tree could be seen from a great distance.

Such a major change has caused quite a stir.

Fortunately, due to the blockade, apart from a few particularly suicidal individuals who somehow managed to slip inside, there were basically no casualties.

Chen Ming is now outside the lakeside park. His once black hair has turned half white, and his brows are furrowed.

"Don't worry, we'll send someone over to handle it right away. By the way, you know Lin Yuan, right? Has he been back to Xiaonan City lately?"

Cao Yanhua remembered the important matter.

That's why I took the initiative to answer Chen Ming's call.

"No...wait! That's...Lin Yuan?"

"What? You saw Lin Yuan?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but it does look a bit like it. Minister Cao, please wait a moment while I go and confirm."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ming immediately called his staff to run across the street, and they quickly stopped someone.

"You... are not Lin Yuan!"
