Chapter 28 Pseudo·Ghost Realm
Chapter 28 Pseudo·Ghost Realm
Faced with Wang Xiaoming's question, Lin Yuan did not answer, nor did he choose to take action. Instead, he simply stood there quietly, looking at everyone present with a cold gaze.
By this time, Wang Xiaoqiang had completely calmed down. He looked at Wang Xiaoming, then at Lin Yuan, and suddenly remembered a question: "You tampered with my phone, so you should have been able to attack me much earlier. Why wait until now? Was it this corridor? You weren't confident you could attack both me and Ye Feng at the same time, and you didn't want to affect the ordinary people on the plane, so you chose this place, influencing the entire corridor in advance and turning it into a battlefield?"
It seemed like a question, but it was actually a statement of certainty.
Ye Feng sneered, "How foolish! Lin Yuan, your methods are nothing special. If it weren't for the ghosts in that space, I could easily crush you. Now that Chairman Wang and Captain Li are here, you still want to struggle? I advise you to listen to my advice; Professor Wang might give you a way out!"
"So, I should thank you?" Lin Yuan finally spoke, his tone calm and without any fluctuation.
"Hmph! Ungrateful!"
Ye Feng was too lazy to speak again, since he was no longer in a good condition to take action. Otherwise, even if he could defeat Lin Yuan, he would still die from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost.
Moreover.
This is Beijing, and Wang Xiaoming is here. Why would he need to risk his life?
"Professor Wang, I have a question I'd like to ask you," Lin Yuan suddenly said.
Wang Xiaoming said, "You go ahead."
"The Xiaoqiang Club doesn't value human life. If it's for dealing with paranormal events, having ordinary people risk their lives to test the patterns of murder is one thing, but killing people just to steal their cars without any reason—what do you think of that?"
"I know what you're talking about. Ye Jun is dead, and he paid the price for what he did, didn't he?" Wang Xiaoming retorted.
Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes, Ye Jun paid the price. But what about Wang Xiaoqiang? What about Ye Feng? Those female waitresses outside Xiaoqiang's club were turned into ghost slaves just because they're pretty? Who will pay that price?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jun, who had been standing guard beside Wang Xiaoming, wary of Lin Yuan and ready to take action at any moment, changed his expression and looked at Wang Xiaoqiang in disbelief.
Wang Xiaoming remained silent, his calm eyes filled with struggle.
Seeing him like this, Wang Xiaoqiang's rare act of protecting his brother made him stand up, "Lin Yuan, stop pretending to be righteous! You really think you're some kind of justice-seeking hero, standing up for a few ordinary people? Don't forget, you're not an ordinary person anymore, you're not even human anymore, what right do you have! Huh? Tell me!"
Lin Yuan smiled.
His smile was cold, and paired with his heavily made-up face, it looked incredibly eerie. "Captain Li, do you think someone like Wang Xiaoqiang should pay the price?"
"Should!"
Li Jun spoke in a deep voice, "However, even if we're going to make an arrest, we must follow the proper procedures; it can't be handled by private individuals!"
"Okay, then I won't lay a hand on Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng. You handle it. How do you want to handle it?" Lin Yuan said decisively.
Li Jun was about to speak when Wang Xiaoming interrupted him, "I will report this matter to Minister Cao. Lin Yuan, you should trust headquarters, instead of trying to be some kind of hero by yourself! Even if you want to be a hero, you should try to survive, so at least you can see how this matter is handled."
"Wang Xiaoming! Do you really want me to die?" Wang Xiaoqiang's face was contorted with rage.
Seeing that the two brothers seemed to be on the verge of falling out, Lin Yuan's frustration dissipated considerably. "That's enough for now. I've had a great time chatting with you guys, but well, I really don't have much time left."
Wang Xiaoming's expression changed drastically. "Li Jun! Take us away!"
Li Jun did not hesitate. He ultimately chose to believe Wang Xiaoming. Green flames appeared in his eyes, and wherever his gaze fell, green flames appeared out of thin air.
Ghost fire!
The eerie flames instantly filled the entire corridor, and in the next moment, the once ordinary corridor became colorful.
The walls, floors, and ceilings were covered with dense, colorful patterns.
It's as if everyone has fallen into a bizarre and fantastical world that doesn't belong to reality!
"I knew it. Lin Yuan clearly didn't have a ghost domain, so how could he have trapped us here? It turns out he used supernatural forces to influence the entire corridor, creating this scene that resembles a ghost domain. Unfortunately, Captain Li's strength is still a notch above the rest."
Ye Feng had fought Lin Yuan directly and knew Lin Yuan's methods better.
However, when he looked at Lin Yuan, his expression changed, because Li Jun's ghost fire did not burn Lin Yuan at all, as if he had deliberately left Lin Yuan with room to move.
"Li Jun!"
It was Wang Xiaoqiang who shouted this; he genuinely hoped that Lin Yuan would be killed immediately.
Li Jun completely ignored Wang Xiaoqiang, who treated human life like dirt, and instead looked at Lin Yuan with a serious expression, simply because he really hadn't held back.
It's Lin Yuan! The supernatural power emanating from Lin Yuan is terrifying; even the ghost fire, which is specifically designed to target supernatural beings, cannot get close to him!
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation!
"If it were a day ago, I really wouldn't have dared to touch this will-o'-the-wisp, but things are different now."
Lin Yuan wanted to laugh, but he could no longer laugh, or rather, his body had begun to move beyond his control. Behind him, in the flames, a blurry figure slowly appeared.
It was a figure with long hair, standing quietly behind Lin Yuan, but the figure was too blurry to make out what it looked like.
Only under the illumination of the will-o'-the-wisps could this figure be seen.
"Li Jun, you're a good person. Everyone says that the person they most want to meet in this world is you, because only someone like you would value the lives of ordinary people. But I'm also lucky; Zhou Zheng is a good person too. It's a pity that good people are useless in this world. In the end, they're just pawns on someone else's chessboard, and even their lives are not in their own hands."
This praise and compliment only made Li Jun's expression grow colder.
He hesitated, unable to look Lin Yuan in the eye. "You..."
"I don't want to lay a hand on you, and as for Wang Xiaoming, I don't agree with his values, but it's undeniable that, apart from his role in the Wang Xiaoqiang incident, he is important to the future of this world and has saved many people."
Upon hearing this, Li Jun hurriedly said, "Stop now! Professor Wang has a way to save you! Don't be so eager to die. There is still justice and fairness in this world! Whatever the matter, headquarters will give you a fair and just result. You can also speak to Zhou Zheng about anything that's going on!"
