Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

As that huge, pale, and somewhat eerie smiling face appeared, the surrounding pink mist suddenly thickened.

The line of sight, which was originally two or three hundred meters, was instantly compressed to two or three meters.

The air was filled with a salty, humid, and stagnant stench mixed with some indescribable putrid smell.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

From the depths of the mist, a series of heavy, dragging footsteps suddenly echoed.

Chen Feng and Wu Jian exchanged a glance, then quickly stood back to back, their bodies tense, entering a state of high alert.

A moment later, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the thick fog.

That's a woman.

She was eight feet tall, wearing a tattered white dress, with her long hair flowing down, covering most of her face.

She had her back to Chen Feng and Wu Jian, her body in an extremely bizarre, twisted position, as if all the bones in her body had been broken.

Her hands hung down below her knees, swaying back and forth like two dead snakes as her body moved.

"Sizzle..."

Just then.

Suddenly, a pool of bright red blood seeped out from under Chen Feng and Wu Jian's feet.

The bloodstains slowly crept and eventually coalesced into several lines of crooked, blood-written characters, resembling a child's scribbles:

Let's play hide-and-seek!

Please hide within thirty seconds...

If you're found... you'll die!

If you don't dodge... you'll die too!

Hehehe...

"Playing tricks!"

Chen Feng snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Inside the Temple of Rebirth, Lin Chuan, through Chen Feng's perspective, also saw through the true nature of the eight-foot-tall woman.

That woman was not a terrifying being; the level of rules she possessed was even lower than that of the former A-level Vengeful Ghost.

"It's just a B-grade monster."

Chen Feng was clearly aware of this as well.

The eerie dagger in his hand trembled slightly, emitting a chilling light.

"Wu Jian, you don't need to move."

"I'll take care of it."

As he spoke, he was about to step forward and directly suppress the strange creature that was trying to appear mysterious.

"Wait! Young man, don't be impulsive!"

Just then.

An aged, solemn, yet somewhat kind voice suddenly came from the mist on the side.

Chen Feng paused, then abruptly turned his head to look.

An old woman, dressed in a worn-out Taoist robe, black Martin boots, and a black suit hat, was slowly walking over, leaning on a cane.

Her attire was extremely inappropriate.

He had a peach wood sword hanging at his waist, a silver cross in his hand, and a huge string of Buddhist beads around his neck.

It was as if he carried all the world's faiths on his body.

But her outfit doesn't look ridiculous.

Instead, it gives people an indescribable sense of antiquity and vicissitude.

She is like a living fossil that has emerged from the long river of history, carrying an aura that is both decayed and exceptionally resilient.

It was as if time had stood still for her.

"Who are you?"

Chen Feng asked warily.

Who I am is not important.

The old woman shook her head, her cloudy eyes revealing a wisdom that had seen through the ways of the world.

"The important thing is... you can't touch it."

She pointed to the eight-foot-tall woman.

"This place... is a land of calamity."

"Every eerie creature here is like a finely tuned gear, maintaining a fragile balance."

"Once you break this balance..."

"This will trigger a chain reaction, releasing something even more terrifying."

"At that time, not only will you die, but the Flame Dragon Empire across the sea, and even the entire Eastern Shengzhou continent... will also suffer."

Her tone was calm and serious, like an old professor instructing an ignorant student.

and.

She spoke fluent Yanlong Empire official language!

"Are you from the Flame Dragon Empire?" Wu Jian asked in surprise.

"I guess so."

The old woman sighed, seemingly unwilling to say more.

"Come with me, this isn't the place to talk."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the depths of the mist.

Chen Feng and Wu Jian exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed.

The old woman seemed very mysterious to them.

Lin Chuan, through Chen Feng's perspective, was also gazing at the old man.

Lin Chuan couldn't see through the old man on his own.

The panel deep within my consciousness offered no clues... just like the mysterious old man I encountered back then!

Passing through thick fog.

The old woman led Chen Feng and Wu Jian to a seemingly ordinary wooden house.

The wooden house was surrounded by all sorts of flags and eerie talismans, forming an invisible barrier that kept the pink mist out.

"Come in."

The old woman pushed open the door and went in first.

The room was simply furnished with only a table, a few chairs, and walls covered with strange symbols.

The two had just sat down.

The old woman's gaze suddenly became profound.

She didn't look at Chen Feng and Wu Jian.

Instead, he raised his head and looked at the void behind Chen Feng.

It was obvious that she was watching Lin Chuan!

"Come out, friend."

The old woman spoke slowly, her voice calm and even.

"Since you're here, why hide?"

Inside the Temple of Rebirth.

Lin Chuan was startled.

We've been discovered?!

He tried to activate the panel, but the panel still did not display any information or prompts about the old woman.

This shows that...

This old woman's level is very likely outside the forbidden system!

Perhaps... someone on the same level as that mysterious old man!

"Who are you?"

Lin Chuan's voice, coming through Chen Feng, carried a hint of wariness.

"who I am?"

The old woman gave a bitter smile and shook her head.

"I've lived too long, and I've forgotten who I am."

"You can call me... the gatekeeper."

"The gatekeeper?" Lin Chuan frowned.

"That's right."

The old woman nodded, her eyes filled with kindness.

"Don't be nervous, I mean you no harm."

"And at some point in the future, when the real catastrophe arrives..."

"We will collaborate two or three more times."

"catastrophe?"

Lin Chuan's heart stirred.

"You mean... those SS, or even SSS-class forbidden items have become a reality?"

"No."

The old woman waved her hand, her tone carrying a hint of disdain.

"They don't count as a catastrophe?"

"A true catastrophe..."

Her eyes became empty and deep, as if piercing through endless time and space, seeing some kind of despairing scene.

"It is the source of the chaotic void realm... awakening from its slumber."

"When that moment comes..."

"Everything will vanish like a bubble."

Even the world we live in now... will eventually turn into nothingness.

Lin Chuan was completely confused, but a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Awakening of the Source? Disillusionment of the World?

"well……"

Just as Lin Chuan was deep in thought, the old woman sighed and began to continue her rambling complaints.

"Japan is simply a land of disaster."

"There's a door that leads to 'the other side,' but it just so happens to be here."

"For the sake of my homeland, and to ensure the Yanlong Empire remains unaffected, this old woman came here and has guarded it for three or five eras..."

"But……"

She glanced at the increasingly thick pink haze outside the window, a hint of weariness flashing in her eyes.

"I'm almost at my breaking point too."

"That door... is being pushed open little by little."

At this point, she suddenly stood up and waved to Chen Feng and Wu Jian.

"Alright, you should go now."

"This is not a place for you."

hum! ! !

An irresistible force of rules instantly enveloped the two of them.

"etc!"

Lin Chuan tried to stop it, but found that his power was as futile as an ant trying to shake a tree in the face of that rule.

"Don't rush, friend."

The old woman looked into the void and said meaningfully:

"I know what you're trying to do."

"But listen to your old woman's advice."

"Stop trying to pinpoint the ultimate source of this pink haze."

"You're not yet capable of handling it!"

"You should go back too."

"We...will meet again."

The old woman had barely finished speaking.

Chen Feng and Wu Jian's figures vanished from the spot in an instant.

next second.

The Eastern Shengzhou Continent, the border between the Yanlong Empire and the Daxin Dynasty.

A medium-sized base in the city.

Chen Feng and Wu Jian stood on the street, looking bewildered at the bustling traffic around them, unable to process what was happening.

"This...you're back already?"

Wu Jian pinched his thigh, wincing in pain.

"It's not a dream..."

Chen Feng touched his chest, his face showing confusion and unease.

"That old woman..."

"What exactly is it?"

……

The scene changes.

Inside the temple in the City of Rebirth

Lin Chuan's mind was heavy.

The old woman's words weighed on his heart like a boulder.

"The source of the catastrophe..."

"And that so-called 'door'..."

He felt as if he had touched upon the deepest secret of the world.

But as the old woman said.

He is currently in a very low position.

They don't even have the right to know the truth.

"Get stronger!"

"We must raise our rank! Raise our terror level!"

Lin Chuan's entire body rippled with chaotic black light!

He didn't want to be that bubble that drifted with the tide.

He wants to be...

The player who controls everything!

Suppressing his emotions, Lin Chuan refocused his attention on the current situation.

Chen Feng and Wu Jian were sent by the old woman to the border of the Yanlong Empire, which would allow them to develop followers and gather more intelligence there.
