I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 64 Bottom Line and Conditions

Brother, which side are you from?

When Cao Yang was commentating on Guo Fan, everyone thought that he had a personal relationship with Lin Yuan, which was why he was so reckless as to offend Guo Fan to help him.

But now, as soon as Lin Yuan makes a move, you start explaining Lin Yuan's actions?

So you just enjoy offending people, is that it?

"There is very little information about Lin Yuan, but every ability he possesses is terrifying. The ability before us is called 'Drama Pattern Erosion.' As long as he sees a shadow, he can supernaturally invade that shadow, rendering the target unable to move."

Is it that terrifying?

Is it enough to just see it?

For a moment, everyone shifted their positions to avoid revealing their shadows.

Click!

A cracking sound rang out, and Guo Fan moved once again. The theatrical patterns drawn on his shadow had disappeared, clearly indicating that the theatrical pattern erosion had failed.

"As expected, I haven't fully mastered the Mirror Actor yet, otherwise it wouldn't have been cracked so quickly." Lin Yuan wasn't surprised at all, just a little regretful.

"Lin Yuan, at a time like this, you still dare to use me as practice?"

Guo Fan spoke angrily, but the voice did not come from this body; rather, it came from the memorial tablet photo that the body was holding.

Lin Yuan glanced at him and gently shook the Ghost Bell in his hand.

The small pendulum formed from the ghostly withered branch struck the bell, but strangely, no one nearby heard a sound, as if the ghost bell had a silencer installed inside.

But Guo Fan is different.

Even though he had already hidden himself inside the memorial tablet, his eyes instantly became blank, and his skin visibly became looser.

The ghost stopped moving once again, but the chilling aura and stench of decay grew stronger, yet no one noticed the changes in Guo Fan inside the memorial tablet.

"The supernatural artifact composed of the ghost bell and the ghostly withered branch retains the restrictive effect of the bell's sound and also has an effect similar to absorbing lifespan, and it does directly affect consciousness rather than the body. But it no longer has the effect of turning people into ghost slaves. Is it because there aren't enough pieces in the puzzle?"

It was a bit of a shame, but fortunately, the sound of the ghost bell also had a suppressive effect on the opera playing in my mind.

Although it doesn't have the same effect as the bells of the Ghost Bell Tower, ringing it a few more times is enough. As for the physical cost...

Since you can be resurrected in your real-world state after death, there's no need to worry about it.

After a few breaths, Guo Fan regained consciousness.

He stopped controlling the ghost and switched back to his original form. Throughout the process, Lin Yuan did not take any further action but simply observed from the sidelines.

Guo Fan gave Lin Yuan a deep look, his expression shifting between light and dark.

"Even if we're not colleagues, we're comrades-in-arms, so there's no need to get so worked up," Cao Yang stepped forward and tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

After Lin Yuan struck the Ghost Bell, he knew he was no match for Lin Yuan, and even his greatest tricks were useless.

He couldn't even get close to Lin Yuan, like a warrior being kited by an archer, only able to passively take the hits.

But he couldn't bring himself to do it. Now that Cao Yang had come forward to give him a way out, he was subconsciously grateful. But when he thought about how Cao Yang had just exposed him, he glared at him hatefully, then returned to his seat, closed his eyes, and remained silent.

Seeing this, everyone sat back down at the table, but the way they looked at Lin Yuan had changed completely.

No one understood the exchange between Lin Yuan and Guo Fan, but the fact that Guo Fan, who had completely transformed into a vengeful ghost, admitted defeat and didn't struggle any further was enough to demonstrate how terrifying Lin Yuan was.

"Brother, you don't mind me mentioning your abilities earlier, do you?" Cao Yang chuckled and stayed close to Lin Yuan, acting like a natural friend.

Lin Yuan shook his head. "My abilities are recorded at headquarters, so they're not exactly a secret. And even if others find out, it doesn't matter."

Cao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because of his relationship with Cao Yanhua, he knew more than many of the people in charge, such as the conflict between Lin Yuan and Xiaoqiang Club.

Especially in Xiaoqiang Club, even with Wang Xiaoqiang's prior planning, Lin Yuan was still able to escape using the mirror-travel technique.

The ability to travel through mirrors alone is enough to make one invincible.

Those who didn't know the situation simply assumed that Lin Yuan was confident enough, and that was all.

"The exchange just now went very well; it was brief and to the point, and didn't escalate to an uncontrollable level."

Cao Yanhua started the conversation, this time indicating that Zhao Jianguo should hand over the file on the starving ghost incident to Lin Yuan, and no one dared to obstruct it anymore.

Lin Yuan did not refuse; he opened it and took a look.

For a moment, only the sound of Lin Yuan flipping through the documents could be heard in the meeting room. It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Lin Yuan closed the documents again.

Unlike reading novels, the information here is recorded in greater detail and is far more terrifying.

The information on the four stages of the ghost infant has been fully recorded: infant, teenager, young adult, and finally, the ghost-eating "adult," just like the four stages of a normal person's growth.

In particular, only by eating ghosts can one acquire the true characteristics of a vengeful ghost, which is "unkillable," and it really has a bit of a "coming-of-age ceremony" feel to it.

"Currently, Zhao Kaiming, the former head of Dachang City, has gone missing, Professor Wang and others are trapped in Guanjiang Community, and Yang Jian, the person in charge, is also in serious trouble. It is very likely that..."

Cao Yanhua sighed.

The situation in Dachang City had turned his hair much whiter, but he had no choice but to persevere.

"The minister has urgently gone to the International Ghost Tamers Headquarters to seek support, and top overseas ghost tamers are expected to arrive soon. Lin Yuan, our request is not high. We don't need you to deal with the starving ghost incident; we just hope you can use your methods to rescue Professor Wang. I know you can do it."

Lin Yuan put down the documents. "Okay."

"Great, I'll do it right away..."

Before Cao Yanhua could finish speaking, Lin Yuan interrupted him, "I can rescue Wang Xiaoming, but I have one condition."

"This... the conditions you proposed before were too unreasonable." Cao Yanhua frowned. "Besides, we don't have that many red ghost candles right now."

It's not a lie.

The red ghost candle has only been researched recently, and its production is not stable.

This time, it was only because the danger level of the Hungry Ghost incident reached S level that almost all the finished products were taken out, with only two remaining in reserve at headquarters.

"Then give me two, plus ten white ghost candles. Surely Wang Xiaoming isn't worthless in the eyes of headquarters? There's one more condition: I know there's an old man named Qin at headquarters, and I need to ask him a question in person."

Cao Yanhua remained silent for a long while before finally nodding in agreement, "Okay!"
