I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 60 An Exorbitant Demand

With a little exploration, Lin Yuan figured out the origin of the item.

Clearly, this is a supernatural item, made from the ancient bell and the supernatural power of the withered ghost branch that Peng Anxiao was riding, a combination of the two.

Because I've had in-depth experience with it, I'm absolutely certain I'm not wrong!

Although he didn't understand what had happened, he could guess the general idea. What troubled him the most was that the Mirror Actor wasn't locked inside.

And in his mind, the curses of the actors echoed once again.

The effect of the small bell in his hand when it was rung was just enough to suppress the curse in his mind, and at the same time, it could also affect the people or ghosts who heard the bell.

The most basic ability is the limitation of movement.

There is another ability, which is to deprive someone of life.

Just like Chen Ming, after hearing only one bell toll, a fine line appeared between his eyebrows and eyes. If he had to hear a few more tolls, he would probably have died of old age on the spot.

And the cost...

Lin Yuan was not yet thirty years old, in the prime of his life, with firm skin.

But after that bell rang, his skin seemed to have aged a bit, while the withered branches inside the small bell seemed to have gained a touch of green.

This monstrous thing devours life!

No wonder Peng Anxiao turned into that grotesque form back then. She was only in her early twenties, but in the end... it was all the price of that monstrous thing.

With a casual flip, the Ghost Bell vanished without a trace.

A few more minutes passed before Chen Ming finally recovered.

"Sorry, I suddenly got distracted."

Chen Ming simply assumed he was just spacing out and didn't think about anything supernatural, or perhaps he just didn't think Lin Yuan would attack him. "We found you at the lakeside park."

Through Chen Ming's explanation, Lin Yuan roughly understood his situation.

A month or so has passed since the last S-class paranormal incident codenamed Ghost Bell Tower, and Xiaonan City has returned to normal.

Li Leping, the person in charge of Dachuan City who was temporarily staying in the city, left a week ago, but Lakeside Park is still restricted and entry and exit are not allowed. Only every other week, Chen Ming will take Peng Anxiao's parents to Lakeside Park to pay respects to Peng Anxiao and his sister Peng Fangyuan.

This time, it was during the worship ceremony that Chen Ming discovered Lin Yuan floating on the lake and rescued him.

"I saw a scene on the lake before, although it was just a fleeting glimpse, but I always felt that you were not dead, and this time it has confirmed my guess."

Chen Ming handed over the peeled apple, his eyes shining.

Lin Yuan took the apple and took a bite. "Well, I'm really sorry, I'm already dead."

"Haha! Lin Yuan, you're really joking. If An Xiao and the others were still here, especially that kid Fang Yuan, you would definitely get along well."

Mentioning the brother and sister, Chen Ming's expression turned somewhat melancholy, but he quickly perked up again, "I've already reported your situation to headquarters. In fact, Professor Wang said you weren't dead when he left, and your appearance proves he wasn't wrong."

"Really? I've been unconscious for a while now, and you've been reporting my condition for so long, yet Wang Xiaoming hasn't even made a single phone call?"

Lin Yuan found it strange.

In Wang Xiaoming's understanding, he had a "resurrection" buff. As a research fanatic, how could Wang Xiaoming resist coming to find him?

"Professor Wang has had an accident. I don't know the specifics, but I do know that he is currently unable to contact the outside world," Chen Ming said, shaking his head.

problem occurs?

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat. "Is he in Dachang City?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Chen Ming was quite surprised, but before he could ask any further questions, his phone rang. "It's Minister Cao calling. Lin Chen, please wait a moment. Minister Cao, this is Chen Ming... What? Okay, I'll give the phone to Lin Yuan right away, but he might need some rest..."

As he spoke, he handed over his phone.

Lin Yuan immediately turned on speakerphone and said calmly, "I am Lin Yuan."

"Lin Yuan, it's so good that you're still alive! Something just happened in Dachang City. If you have time, please come over as soon as possible." Cao Yanhua's voice was filled with urgency.

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "Minister Cao, have you misunderstood something?"

"What?" Cao Yanhua seemed surprised that Lin Yuan would say that.

Lin Yuan sneered, "I'm not the head of headquarters, Minister Cao. Is this order really for me? What, are you mistaking me for Zhou Zheng?"

The thought of Zhou Zheng made Lin Yuan's anger surge.

Cao Yanhua softened his tone, "Lin Yuan, I know you have misunderstandings about headquarters, and I know that Zhou Zheng's matter is bothering you, but now..."

"Ten red ghost candles and ten white ghost candles!" Lin Yuan interrupted directly.

Cao Yanhua was stunned for a moment. "What?"

Lin Yuan scoffed, "I told you, I'm not in charge of headquarters. You want me to support Dachang City? No problem, then trade resources. I don't want anything else, just ten red ghost candles and ten white ghost candles. I'll leave as soon as they arrive!"

"Lin Yuan, Professor Wang asked you to come here. Although I don't know where you learned about the Red and White Ghost Candles, I can't possibly agree to your outrageous demands. Professor Wang is currently trapped in Dachang City and it's inconvenient for him to make external communications, but he asked me to tell you that if you want to know more about Zhou Zheng, go find him."

Lin Yuan's face darkened as he listened to the dial tone.

The temperature in the entire ward dropped, and the lights began to flicker, as if they had short-circuited.

But Chen Ming knew that this was due to the influence of the supernatural, and the source was Lin Yuan, who had been angered. He couldn't help but secretly lament, "Lin Yuan, don't be angry. You need to rest now."

"Recuperation? Your Minister Cao has already started using threats and bribes, what's the point of recuperation! I'm going to go see what he has to say to me!"

Hearing Lin Yuan say this, Chen Ming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "An Xiao is right, you may seem cold on the outside but are warm on the inside. If you're really alright, I'll arrange a plane to take you there immediately. Although I don't know what happened in Dachang City, it's always good to conserve your energy. Also, I hope we can work together in the future."

Working together?

Become the head of Xiaonan City?

"I hope so."

Lin Yuan did not hold a grudge against Chen Ming, nor did he feel the need to make things difficult for an ordinary person.

Chen Ming was very efficient. Before Lin Yuan boarded the plane, he handed him a brick-shaped cell phone. "This is a special cell phone issued by headquarters to the heads of various regions. It can maintain a signal even under supernatural influences. An Xiao used to use it. You can take it for now. I'll wait for you to come back."

Lin Yuan gave him a deep look, then left without looking back.

The plane took off from Xiaonanshi Airport and headed straight for Dachang City.
