Chapter 70: The BOSS is blocking the respawn point.
Good news: We found the boss, but we can't beat it. However, the boss's time has been reset!
Bad news: The BOSS has blocked the respawn point!
The moment Lin Yuan saw Elder Qin, his whole body tensed up; this reaction was unmistakable.
He knew very well that if Elder Qin found out that he still retained his previous memories after the restart of the domain, there was a high probability that Elder Qin would directly attack him.
At that time, not just now.
Even if he were to die and then re-enter a delusional state through narcolepsy, Old Qin would immediately capture him and eliminate him.
By then, he won't be able to gain anything from his delusional fantasies.
In an instant, the patterns of the Great Sage mask on Lin Yuan's left cheek spread wildly, covering his entire left cheek, and even his pupils instantly transformed into the shape of the Great Sage mask.
"Lin Yuan! What are you doing?"
Cao Yang gave a low shout and immediately stood in front of Cao Yanhua, his eyes full of vigilance and unease.
But Lin Yuan didn't even look at him. He just stared intently at the expressionless Old Qin, and it took him a while to withdraw the supernatural power he had deliberately triggered.
Everything returned to calm.
"Sorry, this one is too terrifying, it's a stress reaction," Lin Yuan said with a serious expression.
Old Qin, is he terrifying?
Isn't this just a mascot?
Jiang Shangbai, who had also come along, was completely bewildered. He knew about Qin Lao through his social circle; Qin Lao was a ghost tamer who had lived since the Republican era, a veritable living fossil.
But apart from his age, Old Qin didn't show any great strength, did he?
Is this kid pretending to be stupid, or has he and his entire circle of friends been fooled by headquarters and Old Qin?
Jiang Shangbai glanced at Cao Yanhua, his eyes meeting Cao Yanhua's slightly guilty gaze. After Cao Yanhua awkwardly looked away, Jiang Shangbai had a sudden realization:
OK!
Headquarters really had a trick up their sleeve!
No, we need to report this to Boss Fang immediately. We need to find out just how terrifying this old man's strength is!
"This is troublesome."
Cao Yanhua sighed inwardly. He knew perfectly well what Jiang Shangbai might have guessed, but he couldn't offer any further explanation now, as that would only make him seem guilty.
If anyone is to blame, it's Old Qin.
Despite being unwell, she insisted on taking a flight over in the middle of the night.
"Lin Yuan, this is Elder Qin. He's a senior figure who's been alive since the Republican era. He's here this time..." Cao Yanhua paused here, looking at Elder Qin with a puzzled expression.
Old Qin kept sizing up Lin Yuan. "Ghost candles are strategic materials for headquarters, especially so many of them, so I'm here to escort them. It's a pity my body is too old, otherwise I could try to handle the starving ghost incident."
"Thank you for making this trip, Elder Qin," Cao Yanhua said quickly.
As for escorting the ghost candle?
Some people can believe it if they want, and others can just ignore it.
A suitcase was brought over, and when it was opened, two red candles and ten white candles were neatly arranged inside.
Lin Yuan accepted the box with satisfaction.
"The goods have been delivered. Can you set off now?" Cao Yanhua reminded him.
The most important thing now is to rescue Wang Xiaoming.
"Okay, you can contact him. Don't hide in the safe house. With the gold blocking the way, I can't get over there," Lin Yuan agreed readily.
Right now, all he wants is to stay away from Old Qin and not let the BOSS discover that he has retained memories he shouldn't have.
"You don't need to worry about that. Professor Wang is currently in Guanjiang Community with Ghost Eye Yang Jian. He hasn't entered the safe house yet, so you can go there anytime."
The ghost realm of the starving ghosts is terrifying; without sufficiently terrifying supernatural power, one cannot even enter the ghost realm.
However, within the area covered by this ghostly domain, the specially made satellite positioning mobile phone at headquarters still had a signal, so Cao Yanhua needed to communicate with Wang Xiaoming first.
Otherwise, Lin Yuan really wouldn't have been able to get out of Wang Xiaoming's place.
The reason is simple...
Inside the Guanjiang residential area, Yang Jian, Zhang Wei, Jiang Yan, and a few others were playing a game when, unfortunately, the power went out, bringing their three-player game to an end.
Wang Xiaoming walked in, frowning as he said, "You still have the mood to play games?"
Yang Jian took off his headphones. "This is called finding joy in hardship. Someone like you wouldn't understand. What did you come to me for?"
"Just now, the city center of Dachang City fell, and many ghost infants appeared there. But that's not what I want to talk about. I now have a way to leave Dachang City."
As soon as Wang Xiaoming finished speaking, Zhang Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's great! Let's hurry up and go! This godforsaken place even had a power outage while we were playing a game! And that orphan from earlier, how dare he camp me? When I get out of here, I'm definitely going to confront him offline and show him what a true marksman like Awei is!"
Wang Xiaoming ignored him and calmly looked at Yang Jian, saying, "Leaving Dachang City now is simple. I will send everyone here away. But you should know what the collective appearance of the ghost infants means."
"Of course I know I'm the person in charge of Dachang City, and I know my responsibilities, but that doesn't mean I should go and die, especially when I can leave. You want to leave and leave me behind? I know very well what the situation is now. I can't turn things around by myself. Now that there's an opportunity, the best choice is to send more people in charge through your method to deal with this paranormal event together, instead of just focusing on me."
Yang Jian said very seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, the ghost baby has been released, and it must be the starving ghosts starting to reap the harvest of the entire city. You have very little time left to choose."
"I can tell you you still have abilities, but you chose to hide them." Wang Xiaoming looked at Zhang Wei. "A person who should be dead is still alive. You possess some secrets I don't know about."
"So, everyone has secrets, and you're no exception." Yang Jian's tone turned cold. "If there's a cliff ahead, and jumping might save my life, I'd take the risk. But there's a path next to the cliff, and you won't let me take it, instead you want me to jump. Professor Wang, don't you think you've gone too far?"
Wang Xiaoming sighed, "This supernatural event is no simple matter. Those who come are not strong enough and will only die here, becoming fodder for the starving ghost to grow. The more people come, the stronger it will become, and the more troublesome it will be to deal with."
Yang Jian didn't want to argue anymore. "That's something you should consider. Right now, I just want to get the people I care about out of this hellhole. Professor Wang, if you have a solution, just use it. Don't waste your time here. After all, your method might not even work before it's been proven."
