I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 40 The Spread of Supernatural Phenomena

"This show is quite interesting."

Wang Xiaoming sat down on the sofa, feeling the indentation, and calmly watched TV.

"Professor Wang?"

Li Jun was very puzzled, but he calmed himself down and finally noticed something was wrong. "This TV program... isn't live, it's just looping?"

The TV screen suddenly went black.

The scene in the room was reflected on the black screen, but the reflection quickly disappeared, and the entire screen became like a black curtain.

As a cold wind blew by, a hand suddenly reached out from the screen.

"Professor Wang, be careful!"

Li Jun immediately shielded Wang Xiaoming, staring warily at the man crawling out of the television screen, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's you? Lin Yuan, you're really not dead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiaoming, who was being protected behind him, stepped out and came to Lin Yuan in a few steps, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

That look in his eyes was like looking at a perfect experimental subject.

Lin Yuan subconsciously took a step back. "Wang Xiaoming? Li Jun?"

"It's me! I can't believe it really is you, Lin Yuan! You were supposed to have died a month ago. The vengeful ghost returned, and even your body was taken away by it. But you're alive now. Why is that? What methods did you use, or perhaps some supernatural object? This information is crucial. If we can utilize it, humanity's fight against the supernatural will usher in a new era!"

Wang Xiaoming spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he were giving a grand speech.

Lin Yuan scoffed, "It's useless. My situation is rather special, so there's no point in explaining it. It's impossible for this to be widely disseminated."

"We have to give it a try, don't we? Besides, you had Peng Anxiao deliberately conceal your existence before, and when I guessed that someone was helping her, you took the initiative to reveal your identity. Wasn't that deliberately leading me here? You have something to ask for, and I have something to ask for. Even if it's useless information, I'm willing to pay a sufficient price."

With just a few details, Wang Xiaoming almost figured out Lin Yuan's thoughts.

Dealing with this kind of person made Lin Yuan feel somewhat uncomfortable, but he did indeed have a problem. "I killed your own brother, and you don't want to kill me to avenge him?"

Wang Xiaoming's eyes immediately turned strange. "So that's what you're worried about? Then there's no need. Although the ghost you attracted was terrifying, the headquarters also has its own strengths. No one died back then, not even my brother. If you're worried about your relationship with him, I can vouch for him so he won't pursue the matter further..."

Lin Yuan interrupted, "Elder Qin?"

Wang Xiaoming said in surprise, "It seems you have quite a secret as well. How about it? We don't have any absolute conflict, so let's sit down and have a good chat. I believe all information comes at a price, so feel free to ask, and I'll do whatever it takes to satisfy you."

That's really generous!

That makes sense, though. In the original story, during the Huanggang Village incident, Wang Xiaoming didn't care about hundreds of millions of dollars and readily agreed to get the ghost coffin from Yang Jian.

Now, he believes that he was able to be resurrected because he has special, or even universal, means, so he would want to obtain them at any cost.

"Let's talk about that later. Let's talk about the paranormal event we encountered first."

Lin Yuan remembered Peng Anxiao and brought the topic back.

"Alright, tell me the situation first, and I'll help analyze it. If needed, Li Jun can also lend a hand." Wang Xiaoming agreed.

"Can."

Lin Yuan didn't hide much and told Peng Anxiao about his experience in the Lakeside Garden, including the unknown supernatural place they had just entered, which might also be a deeper ghost realm.

"It seems my previous guess was correct. You are indeed the source of the infection, expanding the area that the ghost realm can influence. But according to you, this ghost will be difficult to deal with."

Wang Xiaoming frowned.

The ghost was clearly in the lakeside park, and it was very likely one of those men in black robes, but searching for it one by one would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the sound of the bell targets consciousness; without such means, it's a complete one-sided crushing.

"My will-o'-the-wisp should be usable. It can burn away all the supernatural things in that place without harming ordinary people. Lin Yuan, you helped Peng Anxiao defend against supernatural attacks, so you should be able to help me too, right?" Li Jun volunteered.

"No problem, but your will-o'-the-wisp can burn away supernatural things, and it's hard to say how long my theatrical markings can suppress it. Besides, burning down the clock tower and the black-robed men on that lake would consume too much energy; can you hold out for that long?"

Lin Yuan put forward his own ideas.

Li Jun said, "Let's try first. If it doesn't work out, we can make other plans. But Professor Wang, if I go to deal with this paranormal event, I won't be able to take care of you. Do you think we should go back to headquarters first?"

"It's unnecessary."

Seeing that Li Jun was about to try to persuade him again, Wang Xiaoming pointed to his ear, "Haven't you heard me yet?"

What?

Li Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a faint chime ringing in his ears.

Although it was only a single sound, it was undeniably real, instantly turning his expression grim. "We...we've been infected by the medium too? It can spread just from the sound of a bell? Isn't this ghost a bit too terrifying?"

"Perhaps what we should be understanding now is the situation outside."

Wang Xiaoming wasn't too panicked. He pushed open the door to the lounge, where chaos had already broken out.

Liaison officer Chen Ming arrived just then. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Professor Wang, Captain Li, Mr. Lin, we might really be in trouble this time. Everyone in the office area heard the bell ringing, and Peng Fangyuan, along with three other staff members, have suddenly disappeared."

"The supernatural has spread!" Lin Yuan squinted, while at the same time feeling fortunate that Peng Anxiao had stayed in that ghostly realm.

Peng Fangyuan and the others were probably also pulled into that ghost realm. With Peng Anxiao there, they might have survived and wouldn't have been turned into ghost slaves by Zhong Sheng immediately.

"It has indeed spread, and it's very likely that it has spread throughout the entire city, which corresponds exactly to the area of ​​the Ghost Realm."

Wang Xiaoming immediately instructed, "Investigate the area affected by the bell's sound, and how many people went missing during that time."

After Chen Ming left, he said to Lin Yuan, "I'll go with you on this mission. Li Jun, don't refuse. If we separate, and I get affected by the bell again, it will be even more dangerous."

Li Jun remained silent, knowing that Wang Xiaoming was telling the truth.

"Lin Yuan, can you still use the mirror to take us into that ghostly realm?"
