Chapter 46 The Origin?
Chapter 46 The Origin?
"Not bad, I won't die for now. Tell me the information you brought back, and what do you need my cooperation with?"
Peng Anxiao didn't care about his own condition at all. He was only in his early twenties, but he was already indifferent to life and death, or rather, he regarded death as nothing.
It's time to reconcile the accounts!
First, there's the comparison of the flow of time, then there's the agreement between him and Wang Xiaoming, including what they discovered after returning to this ghost realm.
"I've been here for almost an hour. If I'm not mistaken about the timeline, we still have plenty of time. But before that, I'll send the person out first."
"Okay, but it's a pity the time is too short." Peng Anxiao said with great regret.
Lin Yuandao said, "The curse of the bell can pull people in at any moment. If we don't deal with the source ghost, relying on me to send people away is just adding fuel to the fire, which is not worth the effort."
Peng Anxiao naturally understood this principle, so she only sighed and did not stop it.
There were eight ordinary people here, including the deliveryman. Lin Yuan sent them back to reality through the mirror, and they still appeared at the clock tower in the center of the lake.
Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun are still resting here.
Seeing the group of people who suddenly appeared, Wang Xiaoming frowned and said, "What you should be doing now is not wasting time on this."
"I know what I should do."
Lin Yuan was too lazy to argue with Professor Wang, who was used to judging a person's life and death based on value. He quickly had Chen Ming arrange for people to pick up these ordinary people and then explained the situation regarding the flow of time.
"It won't have a major impact. Proceed as planned. Now that you've found Peng Anxiao, get ready." Wang Xiaoming checked the time. "There's still half an hour left. I hope to see you here then."
"rest assured."
Lin Yuan returned to the Ghost Realm, and then he and Peng Anxiao got on a motorcycle and headed towards the Lakeside Park.
As they saw more and more clock towers standing throughout the city, their mood grew increasingly heavy. It wasn't until they reached the lakeside park that Peng Anxiao suddenly spoke, "In Professor Wang's assessment, is this incident really only an A-level?"
Lin Yuan glanced at her, then suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with a knowing mockery. "What if he says S-rank and I run away?"
The criteria for judging the severity of paranormal events are no secret. Everyone has their own way of judging how serious a paranormal event is.
"I see, I understand now. If we manage to get out of here alive, I'll introduce you to a girlfriend."
Clearly, she still remembered the excuse her brother Peng Fangyuan had given her when they first met.
Lin Yuan spat, "The fight's about to start, so don't set any flags. At your age, don't tell me you've never watched anime."
Those who made promises before major events all died.
Peng Anxiao wanted to laugh, but the wood grain of her lower lip was also visible, the flesh dry and withered, like tree bark that had been drained of moisture, making her laughter look incredibly strange.
"I know my situation. Even if I survive today, I only have one or two weeks left at most. So I hope you survive and help take care of my family. My brother may seem unreliable, but once you get to know him, you'll find he's someone you can depend on."
Is he making arrangements for his death?
Lin Yuan nodded silently, but felt incredibly frustrated.
It's just an NPC in a delusional fantasy. You can fight or kill them as you please, but why make it so emotional? Is this why delusional disorder is so hard to cure?
Lin Yuan could clearly feel that he was really reluctant to part with this girl, just like he had felt with Zhou Zheng back then.
"This world is giving me more and more entanglements... When Yang Jian was in Baishui Town, he had to kill everyone connected to him, otherwise he would be entangled and unable to escape that false world. My current situation is somewhat similar..."
"Paranoia, what a despicable disease!"
The sky was already dark in Xiaonan City in the Ghost Realm. As time passed, more and more clock towers appeared in the city, the bells rang more and more frequently, and the sky became even darker.
But the darkness in the lakeside park was even more intense, to the point that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Lin Yuan took out the powerful flashlight he had prepared. The light, which would normally be enough to blind people at night, only illuminated a distance of about five meters in front of him, and it was very blurry. He could only vaguely see the road under his feet.
However, that's enough.
But after the two had walked in a few steps, Lin Yuan suddenly turned back and said, "There's no going back."
"I wasn't planning on going back anyway. That ghost should be here. We have to catch it." Peng Anxiao's tone was calm and without any fluctuation.
"Too."
They had been to this place before and had vivid memories of it. Following the stone path, they soon arrived at the lake.
Lin Yuan approached the water's edge and shone his flashlight on it, then chuckled. "This ghost has learned its lesson, it's not reflecting light at all... Hmm? Not reflecting light? There's something strange about this lake, some kind of supernatural influence."
He reached out and touched it; it was icy cold, but when he raised his hand, there wasn't a single drop of water on it.
"Did you find anything?" Peng Anxiao asked cautiously.
Lin Yuan shook his head. "Not yet. Let's go to the clock tower in the center first. There are only ten minutes left until the agreed time. It's so dark here, we don't want them to get lost."
Five minutes later, the two arrived at the clock tower in the center of the lake.
All around was quiet. The ancient bell and chime were still there, but there was no one in black robes ringing the bell.
"The first person to ring the bell is likely the source. We should act immediately the moment he appears. If we can resolve the issue, that would be ideal," Lin Yuan said.
Peng Anxiao nodded, "Then let's give it a try."
Time passed second by second, and soon it was time. Under the bright flashlight, a man in black robes suddenly appeared next to the bell, as if he had always been there.
The man in black robes grabbed the bell and rammed it against the ancient bell.
"Let's do it!"
Without any hesitation, Peng Anxiao's gloves exploded, and ten withered branches grew wildly, entangling the black-robed bell ringer in the blink of an eye.
But the bell ringer kept moving, and Peng Anxiao was pulled off balance and fell forward.
Lin Yuan also took action. He first looked at the feet of the bell ringer, but under the bright light, the bell ringer had no shadow.
Somewhat unexpectedly, Lin Yuan did not hesitate and reached out to grab it as well. In his current state, he was not afraid of making direct contact with the vengeful ghost.
Since we can't pin down the shadow, let's take action and take the bell ringer's face!
