"Thump-thump... thump-thump..."
His heart pounded, and it seemed as though the only sound left in the world was Ye Lin's own heartbeat.
Countless possibilities flashed through his mind. As his thoughts raced to their limit, An Ke's anxious voice seemed to stretch on endlessly, and even the changes in everyone's expressions played out in slow motion before his eyes.
Could I be a ghost? Only ghosts know about the Immortal Gate...
Am I dead?
As though answering his own questions, Ye Lin forced himself into the Interferer state, shutting out all his emotions.
If he was a ghost, that meant he needed to kill everyone.
Yet a mere instant later, once he had calmed down, he abruptly realized the situation was not that bad.
No, he could not be a ghost, nor could he be dead.
If he was a ghost, where was the real Ye Lin? If Ye Lin was alive, he would definitely try to contact them. If he had died, the others would definitely have received a system notification.
There was a simple way to verify it, too. He only needed to cut off his hand. If the wristwatch appeared on his other hand, then he was Ye Lin.
So is it because there really is a Head-Swapping Ghost here? The ghost erases memories by keeping the head. My head wasn't kept last round, so I retained some of my memories.
No, that was not right either...
After quickly sorting through his memories, Ye Lin rejected that possibility outright.
If he could retain his memories, there was no way these would be the only things he remembered.
Then could it be the third possibility?
The price we pay for dying isn't losing our memories, but merging with a ghost?
