I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 53 Sacrifice

"Mr. Peng, Ms. Feng, your son and daughter are heroes..."

Chen Ming looked at the middle-aged couple in front of him, his tone so heavy that he couldn't continue speaking several times, but he had no choice but to speak.

These two are Peng Anxiao and Peng Fangyuan's parents.

These brother and sister died for Xiaonan City, and made outstanding contributions to the stability of Xiaonan City during their lives. They are heroes.

The headquarters would not forget the hero's parents, so Chen Ming brought many benefits, but the middle-aged parents clearly didn't listen.

Suppressing their grief, they asked, "Where are Fang Yuan and An Xiao's bodies?"

"this……"

Chen Ming was speechless for a moment, because even they couldn't find the remains of the brother and sister.

According to the headquarters' conclusion, the brother and sister had been enslaved by the ghosts and left in that unknown ghost realm. It was impossible and unlikely that anyone would actively go in to search for them.

"Since there are no remains, there must be a place where they sacrificed themselves. We'd like to go and pay our respects, is that alright?" While comforting his wife who was almost fainting, Mr. Peng suppressed his grief and made a father's most humble request.

Chen Ming still hesitated.

The lakeside park has been sealed off, prohibiting anyone from entering, but now the people who want to go in are different... and his hesitation makes Peng's parents even more desperate.

"Wait, wait a moment, I'll apply to my superiors right away."

Chen Ming quickly spoke up, afraid that if he spoke any later, the poor parents would faint.

Fortunately, the application was approved quickly, and Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a positive reply. "Uncle and Aunt, I'll take you there."

Meanwhile, on the plane back to Dajing City, Wang Xiaoming frowned and said, "You shouldn't have agreed to their request. The Ghost Bell Tower should be in a state of equilibrium right now. Even if just an ordinary person goes there, it could break this balance."

"Professor Wang, the clock tower is no longer there!"

Cao Yanhua emphasized this point, then softened her tone, "Peng Anxiao is a hero, and so is Peng Fangyuan. Their parents can't receive their sons' and daughters' remains, but at least they have the right to pay their respects. If something really bad had happened, it would have happened long ago, wouldn't it?"

Acting impulsively?

Not so much.

As the deputy minister of the headquarters, Cao Yanhua wouldn't be so brainless.

In fact, before they left, they had already arranged for staff, along with Li Leping, Jiang Shangbai and other responsible persons, to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the lakeside park.

They only left when they detected no supernatural aura and nothing unusual happened.

Closing off the lakeside park can only be described as a precaution.

Wang Xiaoming wanted to eliminate all possibilities, but Cao Yanhua was willing to open a door for the hero's parents—a door that was almost 100% guaranteed to be safe.

"Alright then." Wang Xiaoming closed his eyes to rest and didn't argue anymore.

A dozen minutes later, accompanied by Chen Ming and several staff members, Peng's parents entered the lakeside park and arrived at the platform in the center of the lake.

Peng's parents then offered sacrifices here.

As the smoke curled upwards, Peng's mother could no longer contain herself and burst into tears.

In the vast lakeside park, only the sound of Peng's mother crying and Peng's father trying to comfort her while suppressing his grief remained.

Chen Ming watched from the side, his eyes filled with pity and anger.

"This damn world!"

Cursing under his breath, Chen Ming walked irritably to the railing, his gaze unconsciously sweeping across the calm lake surface, but then suddenly stopped, his pupils shrinking.

The lake was very calm, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds; everything looked so beautiful.

It was precisely because of this beauty that the lakeside park once attracted so many tourists to visit, enjoy the scenery, and relax.

But in this reflection, there is clearly something that shouldn't be there.

It was a withered tree, its bark already dead, and not a single leaf on its branches. There was a straight branch at the top.

The branches pierced straight up to the sky, like a sharp blade.

The blade clearly pierced through three corpses: at the bottom was an actor in a theatrical robe, in the middle was a man in black robes, and on the outermost edge was…

"Lin Yuan!!!"

"Boss? You saw Lin Yuan?" Hearing the shout, the staff member next to him rushed over, looking both wary and expectant.

Chen Ming took a deep breath, and when he looked at the lake again, everything had disappeared.

"Is it an illusion?"

Chen Mingping calmed his heart, which was pounding in his chest, and stared intently at the reflection on the lake. All he could see was blue sky and white clouds.

The ancient tree and the corpse seemed to be his illusions.

"Perhaps I was just too nervous."

After calming his staff down, Chen Ming rubbed his temples hard. "I hope everything will settle down from now on and nothing else goes wrong."

……

"Little sister, I'm all better now..."

"I don't know either, but I've been feeling great lately, very relaxed, and I haven't had any more auditory hallucinations. My dreams are normal too, and everything feels great..."

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the hospital for a checkup right away, I promise there won't be any problems!"

Lin Yuan was in a good mood.

When he had his narcolepsy attack last time, he entered a delusional world again, which led him to Xiaonan City where he encountered the Ghost Bell Tower incident, which replaced the Hungry Ghost incident and became the first S-level paranormal event in the country.

Wang Xiaoming still wants to trick me? Does he really think I have no ability to discern?

It's a pity. I don't know how their parents will live in the future, or whether they will have the chance to have another child.

As for Zhou Zheng, now that I'm cured, I probably won't have the chance to enter the illusion again, so I can't help him get justice!

Lin Yuan sighed, but quickly recovered, his mood becoming incredibly sunny.

After returning from the delusional illusion, he had enjoyed four or five days of relaxation and had not fallen asleep anytime, anywhere since.

After falling asleep that night, I didn't enter any more delusional or hallucinatory states, and I didn't even have a single dream. The feeling of sleeping soundly until I naturally woke up was simply amazing!

The physical discomfort I had developed from working for several years has also seemed to have disappeared, and I feel very relaxed and comfortable.

"I used to think that I needed to completely control the Mirror Actors, or even end the era of the supernatural, to get rid of my delusions and hallucinations. Now it seems that those thoughts were the real problem, a sign that my paranoia and narcolepsy were getting worse. Now I'm fine, aren't I?"

Lin Yuan arrived at the hospital and once again went to the familiar specialist's office.

Although he had been waiting in line for more than an hour, he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he greeted Dr. Yang happily, "Hello, Dr. Yang, it's nice to see you again."
