Dark Doctor Strange opened his mouth and said something that made Lin Feng pause. Why was he thinking about Christine's death again?
Lin Feng was stunned. What nonsense was he spouting?
Did this guy forget the consequences of him traveling back in time to save Christine?
"Are you serious?"
Dark Doctor Strange looked troubled.
"Tell me, Lin Feng, do I still have a chance..."
Lin Feng remained silent.
Dark Doctor Strange's hair was a mess, like a bird's nest. It looked like he had been brooding for a long time.
This whole situation made Lin Feng a little regretful that he had summoned Christine's soul. He shouldn't have given Dark Doctor Strange even a shred of hope!
"Let's go inside and talk," Lin Feng said. What kind of conversation was this to have at the doorstep?
The two walked into the Sanctum. Wong and Strange were not there. Lin Feng didn't know where they had gone, perhaps deliberately sent away by Dark Doctor Strange.
They sat by the window, in the same spot as yesterday.
Dark Doctor Strange remained silent, his expression contorted with worry.
"Where is Christine?" Lin Feng asked.
Not only Wong and Strange, but Christine was also nowhere to be seen. Lin Feng suspected that Dark Doctor Strange had hidden her.
This approach was quite wild!
However, Lin Feng was overthinking. Dark Doctor Strange casually pointed to a room.
"In the room..."
Lin Feng used his x-ray vision and found Christine.
Alright, he still had some sense. He hadn't directly hidden her.
"Does Christine know your idea?" Lin Feng asked again after confirming Christine was safe.
Dark Doctor Strange nodded in silence.
"She knows, but she doesn't want to be resurrected. She's afraid of implicating this world..."
"Lin Feng, please tell me, is there still a chance..."
"I'm talking about resurrection, not traveling back in time to save Christine!" Dark Doctor Strange emphasized.
Resurrection and traveling back in time to save Christine were two different things.
Traveling back in time to save Christine meant altering an absolute point in time, changing the past timeline, so that Christine's death had never happened.
This was the root cause of time paradoxes.
Resurrection, on the other hand, was a completely different method. It could allow Christine to live again as a living person, but it would not change the fact that Christine had died in the past.
This was how he had explained it to Christine.
But Christine was kind. She already knew that Dark Doctor Strange had destroyed a world to save her.
However, she was unsure if there would be other problems after being resurrected, which could involve more worlds.
Lin Feng nodded. Christine's thoughts were correct.
The world had already been destroyed once, and even if the world was destroyed, she and Dark Doctor Strange did not end up together.
The ending seemed destined to be a tragedy, leaving them with no choice.
Regarding the different meaning of resurrection, it did not rule out the possibility of other consequences, and this probability was quite high.
"You have the ability to resurrect her, don't you?" Seeing Lin Feng's silence, Dark Doctor Strange couldn't help but ask again.
Lin Feng did not answer Dark Doctor Strange's question but retorted, "Since the person concerned doesn't want to be resurrected, why do you want to resurrect her?"
Dark Doctor Strange gave a wry smile. "If it weren't for the fear of implicating the entire world, who would refuse to leave that ghost place and return to reality..."
Late last night, Christine had told Dark Doctor Strange about the world she reached after death.
Blood red, confusion, chaos.
Dark Doctor Strange had also been an ordinary person. Naturally, he had human emotions and desires, and he also had selfish sides. He could understand Christine's thoughts.
"Once, for Christine, I destroyed the entire world."
"My remaining life will be spent atoning."
"But your appearance gave me hope, Lin Feng!"
"I admit, I am a selfish person, and I should not have harbored this hope again."
"Lin Feng, please tell me, can you resurrect Christine? I am willing to pay everything."
Dark Doctor Strange had witnessed Lin Feng's abilities, and coupled with Strange's careless remarks the previous night, he could no longer suppress this thought...
Lin Feng felt his scalp tingle.
He could see that Dark Doctor Strange was asking him for a glimmer of hope.
Could he resurrect Christine? Of course, he could.
But Lin Feng's relationship with Dark Doctor Strange was ordinary, and he still didn't know what impact Christine's resurrection would have on the world.
If the person to be resurrected were Susan, Lin Feng would not hesitate at all. But Christine...
Lin Feng was also selfish. He certainly didn't want the trouble that Christine's resurrection might bring him.
Dark Doctor Strange was sharp. Seeing Lin Feng's hesitation, he knew there was a possibility.
If it were impossible to resurrect her, he would have simply denied it. This hesitation, this scratching of his scalp, clearly indicated some difficulty!
"Is... is there any difficulty?" Dark Doctor Strange asked cautiously.
Lin Feng nodded. He wasn't trying to deceive him. "It is still unknown what consequences Christine's resurrection will bring."
"If she appears as a soul for a short period, it's fine. But if it's resurrection, it involves too much..."
Lin Feng made his point clear. Dark Doctor Strange, being a magic user, understood the risks involved.
He hadn't spoken definitively, but Dark Doctor Strange understood Lin Feng's meaning.
Resurrection was possible, but the consequences would not be good.
"Resurrection won't erase the fact that Christine died, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Dark Doctor Strange struggled, unwilling to give up.
"You are correct. Resurrection will not erase the fact that Christine died, nor will it change the absolute point in the past."
"But as I said, this involves complex matters, even touching upon the realm of death."
"Let's not even talk about other things. In terms of power, you cannot protect Christine from the Goddess of Death."
"If Christine is resurrected without considering the consequences, will the armies of the Death realm descend upon this world?"
Lin Feng bombarded him with questions. If Christine's resurrection were different from saving her and didn't change the absolute timeline, Lin Feng would have refused outright.
He didn't have the time to constantly be on guard and clean up messes.
Dark Doctor Strange listened to Lin Feng's words blankly, unable to retort.
Why was resurrecting Christine so difficult...
After a long silence, Dark Doctor Strange sighed heavily...
"Then... can Christine's soul remain here forever?"
"Or rather, can she stay here for a long time?"
Lin Feng gasped. He had explained it to this extent, and Dark Doctor Strange still hadn't given up?
