I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 47: Making Arrangements for the End

"Thump!"

As the bell rang, Lin Yuan and Peng Anxiao were stunned, as if struck by a heavy blow.

Peng Anxiao was completely stunned. She had no means to resist this kind of mental attack, but Lin Yuan was different. When the bell rang, the facial lines on his left cheek seemed to come alive and began to grow, crossing the bridge of his nose and climbing up his right cheek.

The supernatural confrontation brought his consciousness back.

Before he could make another move, green flames suddenly erupted from the black-robed bell ringer's body.

"Get out of the way!"

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Yuan pulled Peng Anxiao back a few steps, and at the same time, the playful patterns spread out to help Peng Anxiao offset the effects of the bell.

Fortunately, when Peng Anxiao's consciousness was damaged, her supernatural abilities were suppressed, and the withered branch that had been extended left the body of the black-robed bell ringer; otherwise, she would have been set ablaze by the will-o'-the-wisp.

On the other side, Li Jun and Wang Xiaoming had already appeared.

They timed it perfectly, ringing the ancient bell in reality right on time, and then were pulled into this ghost realm, which conveniently helped them.

The flames spread rapidly across the black-robed bell ringer, igniting the bell and the ancient bell as well.

The raging flames did not give people a feeling of heat, but rather an extremely cold feeling, as if the body was about to be "frozen".

"Go downstairs, the fire has already started and it's affecting everyone."

As Li Jun spoke, he ran downstairs, and Lin Yuan was also about to leave, but Peng Anxiao looked back and froze.

"What are you standing there for?" Lin Yuan growled, reminding him.

This is not reality. The entire clock tower, and even the entire lake, are supernatural creations that will eventually become fuel for will-o'-the-wisps.

They are demon tamers, possessing supernatural abilities within their bodies, and capable of being ignited as well.

He was not afraid of death, but he wanted to choose a more convenient way to die rather than being burned at the stake, a form of torture!

However, when he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the bell ringer, he immediately understood why Peng Anxiao reacted this way, because the black robe on the bell ringer had disappeared, revealing the person inside.

This person was none other than her brother, Peng Fangyuan!

"This guy..."

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, just about to step forward and forcibly pull Peng Anxiao away.

But Peng Anxiao had already recovered and turned to run downstairs, which startled Lin Yuan, who almost got set on fire by the will-o'-the-wisp behind him.

The four quickly met downstairs, and Lin Yuan stared intently at Peng Anxiao.

He could sense that the siblings had a deep bond, but now that Peng Fangyuan was dead, and had died as a ghost slave, Peng Anxiao showed no sadness whatsoever.

Is it supernatural influence affecting emotional expression, or is there some other reason?

"Lin Yuan, this might be a bit troublesome. This bell sound is too eerie. I was hoping Professor Wang could help analyze it when he came in, but now..."

Li Jun's face was grim, because Wang Xiaoming was still in a daze, clearly affected by the sound of the bell.

"I'll do it."

Lin Yuan reached out to grab Wang Xiaoming, whose curse could counteract and neutralize the bell's sound, but Li Jun stopped him. "Professor Wang specifically instructed that you must not touch his body."

Lin Yuan sneered, "Is this to guard against me?"

"I hope you can understand. After all, your supernatural abilities can turn people into ghost slaves, and Professor Wang doesn't want to be affected by that," Li Jun explained earnestly.

This formulaic response actually made Lin Yuan less angry. "Alright, let's see what to do now."

The situation was different from what was expected.

The bell tower was not set on fire; only the ancient bell and chisel burned in the green will-o'-the-wisps, which illuminated the surrounding area, especially the lake, where the light of the will-o'-the-wisps was reflected.

"The one ringing the bell is a demon servant..."

Lin Yuan glanced at Peng Anxiao, who showed no reaction, and then said, "Last time we came in, countless bell towers would appear around us as soon as the bell rang, and many bell ringers would ring the bells together, creating a supernatural amplification of the sounds. But now it seems to have been suppressed?"

Li Jun looked up at the second floor and frowned, saying, "Look, isn't there another bell ringer over there?"

The black-robed ghost slave that Peng Fangyuan had transformed into had completely turned into a corpse, but another black-robed figure appeared there, which was also ignited by the ghost fire on the bell and then fell down.

Then... another man in black robes appeared?

"Does will-o'-the-wisp have a restraining effect on this ghost?"

Lin Yuan was quite surprised. He didn't have much of a clue about this ghost, but he didn't expect that as soon as Li Jun made a move, the ghost fire broke the supernatural superposition of the bell sound.

wrong!

It's not that simple!

"Li Jun, can you still hold on?"

When Li Jun first came in, he was in good condition, but as the flames on the second floor continued to burn, his skin began to turn red, as if he had been cooked, and a burnt smell emanated from it.

Strangely, beneath this red skin, there was also an eerie green light.

He looked like a piece of human skin wrapped in a green fire, as if it would be burned through completely at any moment.

"Lin Yuan, Peng Anxiao, I don't have much time left. We must find the source of the supernatural phenomenon, or I will soon be resurrected as a vengeful ghost."

Li Jun also realized that something was wrong with his condition.

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Can't we sever the supernatural connection?"

"It could have been done."

Just as a lighter can be lit and then step aside to watch the show, Li Jun's ghost lighter is the same; it can simply act as a igniter, which is a convenient method when dealing with paranormal events.

The problem is, this method is no longer effective.

"I am cursed by the bell. With this curse in place, my will-o'-the-wisp has forcibly activated to fight back. Either I burn everything here to the ground, or I burn myself to death. There is no other choice. But that's fine too. I will give you a chance, but remember, you only have three minutes."

"The body bags have been brought in, ten in total. If the source ghost isn't imprisoned within three minutes, put me in one. But put Professor Wang in first; he can't die here."

"Take this candle. It's a new paranormal item that Professor Wang has researched. As long as it's lit, you won't be killed by the supernatural until the flame goes out. Take it and take Professor Wang out if things get really bad."

Watching Li Jun pull things out one after another, Lin Yuan suddenly asked, "Are there only red ones, no white ones?"

Ok?

Li Jun's eyes sharpened instantly. Clearly, this information involved headquarters' secrets, but considering his current state, he didn't ask any further questions.

"Yes, but the white ghost candle is a byproduct. Not only will it not save lives, it will also attract ghosts... Wait! Attract ghosts?"
