I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 35 The Clock Tower in the Lake

"A withered ghost branch?"

Lin Yuan's gaze fell on Peng Anxiao's face.

The girl was rather pretty; although her complexion was a little pale, it was a normal skin tone, not outside the normal range.

Moreover, this skin tone would probably drive many beauty-loving girls crazy with envy.

Aside from that, her cycling outfit was rather unusual. Despite it being the middle of summer, she was wearing a fully enclosed cycling suit that looked quite thick.

And her left hand was still covered by a thick cycling glove.

"I once wandered into a forest and encountered a ghost there. Although I survived, I became a ghost tamer. When I encounter a vengeful ghost, I can restrict its movements to a certain extent."

As Peng Anxiao spoke, he took off the glove on his left hand.

Those hands... no, they shouldn't even be considered normal hands anymore. You could hardly see any flesh and blood; they looked more like withered tree branches that had grown into the shape of palms.

Is this the Ghost Blight Branch?

Moreover, why did you so readily reveal your personal information?

Lin Yuan gave Peng Anxiao a deep look, then removed the Great Sage mask from his left cheek, revealing the colorful theatrical patterns that only occupied half of his left face.

"My codename is Mirror Actor. My supernatural abilities also have the effect of restricting movement, so we can coordinate with each other when necessary."

"That's good."

The information was successfully exchanged, and Lin Yuan's attitude was confirmed. Peng Anxiao was visibly more relaxed. "I have already had body bags prepared, but the situation at Lakeside Park is a bit special. Many people have gone missing there. I have been inside several times, but I have not found the source ghost, and I have not been able to solve this paranormal event."

Information about the lakeside park was also presented to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan glanced at it and immediately frowned.

He originally thought that the so-called Lakeside Park incident was a supernatural event caused by the curse of the Mirror Actors when he was suffering from narcolepsy and entering a delusional state.

But looking at this document, it's clearly not the case.

Lakeside Park is a well-known open park in Da Nan City, attracting many visitors on a regular basis. However, a week ago, a series of pedestrians went missing at Lakeside Park.

Because no body was found, it was not initially classified as a paranormal event, but rather treated as a common case of social disappearance.

Of course, the disappearance of multiple people also led law enforcement to cordon off the lakeside park.

Until three days ago, all the law enforcement officers in Lakeside Park had disappeared, more than a dozen well-trained professionals, which finally drew attention.

Peng Anxiao, who was in charge, was assigned to the task. He sensed residual supernatural forces in the park, which led him to determine that the disappearance was a paranormal event.

"Over the past three days, I've entered the lakeside park seven or eight times, but each time I haven't found anything. It's as if I've guessed wrong, or as if the ghost has already left, but I always feel that the ghost is still there, just needing a specific medium to trigger it."

Three days passed without any results.

Not only did they fail to find the source ghost, but they also didn't encounter any supernatural attacks, which is very abnormal.

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be enough to just seal off Lakeside Park? This ghost's danger level should be classified as C-level, there's no need to go to such lengths. According to headquarters' regulations, this should be permissible, right?"

"That's true, but I still feel uneasy. I have a premonition that if we don't get rid of the ghosts here, something terrible will happen," Peng Anxiao said earnestly.

Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "You can even foresee the future?"

"No, it's just my premonition." Peng Anxiao shook her head. "I know you might feel confused, so I just hope you can come in with me to investigate some more. If we still don't find anything, I'll try to seal this place off. After all, there are more than just this one paranormal event in Xiaonan City, and I can't keep focusing my energy here forever."

"Alright."

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement, feeling much more relaxed.

After discussing it, the two left the room and prepared to head to the scene.

"Get in, I'll take you there."

Peng Anxiao tossed a helmet over, straddled the motorcycle, and gestured for Lin Yuan to get on.

Lin Yuan put on the helmet without ceremony and sat down without hesitation, but Peng Fangyuan next to him was unhappy. "Hey, hey, hey! You guys left and just abandoned me?"

"Go home early, your parents are waiting for you."

After leaving a message, Peng Anxiao stepped on the gas and drove Lin Yuan into the traffic.

Peng Fangyuan stood there, his face now only showing worry. But he quickly rubbed his cheeks with both hands, forcing a relaxed smile back. "It's time to go back and be with Mom and Dad, so they don't worry about you all the time. But... please come back safely!"

Lin Yuan originally thought that the lakeside park was not far away, after all, he had just come out of it.

But it wasn't until he had walked eight or nine blocks to the edge of the cordoned-off area and saw the park gate that he realized he had completely guessed wrong.

This lakeside park is completely different from the place where he suffers from narcolepsy.

"Manager Peng, who is this?"

As soon as the car stopped, a young man in uniform walked over and looked at Lin Yuan with curiosity, as if he were looking at a warrior.

"This is my companion Lin Yuan, whom I invited. We're going to go in and take another look."

Peng Anxiao got out of the car, handed the keys to the young man, and introduced him, "Lin Yuan, this is Chen Ming, the liaison officer assigned to me by headquarters."

They're comrades!

Chen Ming was somewhat disappointed, as he had hoped to see Peng Anxiao find a boyfriend.

After exchanging brief greetings, Lin Yuan and Peng Anxiao walked into the park, seemingly just strolling around since they had no destination in mind.

The lakeside park naturally features a distinctive lake.

Not long after entering, I saw a beautiful lake, especially now that the sun is setting, the reflections in the sunlight look very beautiful.

Lin Yuan stood by the lake, then suddenly pointed to the center of the lake. "What's that? A clock tower?"

This lake is quite large, roughly the size of three football fields.

Many boardwalks have been built on the lake, clearly for tourists to walk on. In the center of the lake, where all the boardwalks pass, there is a group of buildings that are obviously old, one of which is a simple stone clock tower.

The clock tower is about two stories high, which makes it look quite out of place here.

"That's a unique building on this lake, said to be sixty or seventy years old. I know what you're wondering, this thing is too out of place, it might be related to the supernatural. I used to think so too, but I've checked it carefully several times without finding anything."
