Mysterious Revival-Chapter 877 - 844 All Members Mobilize

During the rest time before heading to Dadong City, Yang Jian once again checked his current state.

He woke up today and hastily dealt with several ghost tamers. Although he has been resurrected, he doesn't know in what form he has returned to life.

He does not have a thorough understanding of his own situation.

He slightly bowed his head to look at his shadow beneath his feet.

The tall, black shadow was cold and eerie, and on the face of the Ghost Shadow, the outline of a blood-red human face was imprinted.

The outline of that face was exactly the same as Yang Jian's, resembling a lifelike portrait as if someone had torn off a person's face and pasted it there.

"A blood-stained old newspaper?" Yang Jian murmured thoughtfully.

After he woke up, the blood-stained old newspaper shattered, but the supernatural power did not disappear; instead, it was inherited by the Ghost Shadow.

The Eight-Tone Music Box also shattered.

But the melody of the music box remained quiet in his mind and did not disappear. Yang Jian could feel the ominous and strange curse of the chime.

Moreover, it seemed that Yang Jian could release that chime.

Without paying a price.

Because this price has already been borne by the Ghost Shadow. From now on, even if the curse erupts and kills, it would only affect others, not himself.

"So, my body has become a vessel for the Eight-Tone Music Box, and I can spread the curse of the music box to others. After those others die and the curse ends, the music will return to my body."

Yang Jian thought this way.

It should be correct.

He has become a humanoid music box, carrying this cursed melody.

That's exactly why the music box was destroyed; without the existence of supernatural power to sustain it, it was just a very old object that could be easily destroyed.

"With my own powers, I can trigger the curse of the music box. Ghost Shadow has also stolen the ability of the blood-stained old newspaper, completing the puzzle, so now I can use Ghost Shadow to invade other people's memories, read them, and then alter those memories..."

His dark pupils flickered uncertainly.

"If I were to implant the memories of others inside my mind into someone else's body, would that amount to indirectly taking possession of them?"

"For instance, if I could use Deceiving Ghost to impact reality, creating a corpse directly, and then implanting a memory from my mind, wouldn't I be able to resurrect someone?"

"..."

The more he thought about it, the more astonishing it became, and Yang Jian fell into deep contemplation.

This was a taboo act of reversing life and death, which theoretically seemed truly achievable.

Moreover, this ability resembled something... the Ghost Mirror.

The Ghost Mirror did just that—preserve an image, and then resurrect after death, with memories staying at the time the image was taken.

Yang Jian could use Ghost Shadow to invade the memories of the living, read their memories at that particular point in time, and after they die, implant those memories into a fresh corpse, thus allowing it to be resurrected.

Although the process was slightly complex, the outcome was exactly the same as the effect of the Ghost Mirror.

It's just that the process requires the use of Ghost Shadow, Ghost Newspaper, Deceiving Ghost—three supernatural powers—whereas the Ghost Mirror only needs one.

As for supernatural objects, those enigmatic and unpredictable abilities seemed to be decipherable by Yang Jian at this stage; those once incomprehensible secrets were no longer secrets.

"As for myself, even though I have a body, my true identity should be the Ghost Shadow..." Yang Jian then paid attention to his own state.

He discovered that even if he abandoned his body, he could still live.

In the form of a Ghost Shadow.

The body is dispensable and can even be replaced.

Yang Jian has now essentially become a ghost with a living person's consciousness.

Becoming this kind of aberration reminded him of his hometown, where he encountered his father within the Ghost Dream.

His father pursued this very state, attempting to dominate the fierce ghosts in the dream. However, the shutdown of the fierce ghosts was insufficiently thorough, and he was invaded by them instead, barely sustaining his existence in the dream with a little bit of supernatural power.

And now, he has successfully taken this step.

Luck and opportunity are indispensable. Even if he tried again, Yang Jian would not be able to replicate this state.

He is a unique case.

"If it weren't for Liao Fan's summoning ghost, which directly called my consciousness back, I don't know if I would have been able to wake up successfully. It's possible that during the process of recalling memories, I could have been disturbed by other memories, leading to the genesis of a new consciousness or a new personality, much like a schizophrenic patient."

Yang Jian recalled this and still felt a palpable fear.

He had been too reckless.

But then again, recklessness was unavoidable. freewebnoveℓ.com

There was no other choice—it was just a gamble.

Before his death, he had already prepared his coffin, worrying that the fierce ghosts might resurge after his death and affect Dachang City.

"President Yang, are you alright? What are you thinking about?" At this moment, inside the office, Zhang Liqin approached carefully and asked softly.

As a woman, she keenly sensed that Yang Jian seemed to have undergone a significant change.

But she couldn't articulate what kind of change it was.

It made her feel both alienated and afraid.

"I am fine, just thinking about some work-related issues." Yang Jian returned to his senses: "Take advantage of this little time to note down the events of this incident for me, I am about to go to Dadong City."

Zhang Liqin nodded, but then added: "This business trip will be dangerous, right? Shouldn't you reconsider?"

"Are you concerned about me?" Yang Jian looked at her, his expression blank, his demeanor cold.

"Yes."

Zhang Liqin did not hold back but seriously said: "I have always been very concerned about you, it's just that you don't feel it."

"Some things must be done. Just do your job well; the supernatural circle is more complicated than you think." Yang Jian did not elaborate further.

"Then come back early," Zhang Liqin said.

"Okay."

As the two were talking, Li Yang hurried into the company.

"Has something happened?" Yang Jian glanced over and asked directly.

Li Yang said, "There's activity. I heard you're going to Dadong City, so I've instructed the person in charge there, Wang Chaling, to cooperate with you, and also called over Li Jun to Dadong City."

"Hold on, I know Wang Chaling, the appointed team leader for Dadong City, but wasn't Li Jun missing from that Ghost Painting incident?" Yang Jian remembered the name Wang Chaling.

He is a local from Dadong City and also one of the earlier administrators, from the same era as Feng Quan.

And later on, he was appointed as a team leader.

During the team leader election, it was said that some were predetermined, directly becoming leaders without needing election.

The predetermined leaders are not all related by nepotism; most have real strength, it's just that they are unassuming and low-key.

For example, Li Leping didn't have much credit for resolving major incidents, but was firmly appointed as a team leader.

Back then Yang Jian was somewhat puzzled, until he went to Dachuan City and learned that before the Ghost Painting incident, Li Leping had already controlled a total of four ghosts, which was simply terrifying.

You have to know that at that time, spirit manipulators who controlled two ghosts were considered top-notch, and those who controlled three were qualified to be team leaders. Li Leping was truly a step ahead of his time.

If such people could not be team leaders, then no one would be worthy.

It's just a pity that Li Leping ran into trouble controlling the fifth ghost.

If he had succeeded, Ye Zhen, reputed to be invincible, would have had to pass the title to someone else.

Li Yang continued, "Li Jun has disappeared, and has even been declared dead, but Old Qin seems to have rescued Li Jun after solving the Ghost Painting. I don't know the specifics. I've asked, but only got these simple pieces of information."

"Old Qin resolved the Ghost Painting and incidentally saved Li Jun, who was presumed dead?"

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes: "Theoretically, reversing life and death is impossible, except for one exceptional circumstance... That old fellow really did restart. Spirit manipulators from the Republic of China Era who have lived until now are all monsters, stealing the power of fierce ghosts and fully harnessing it while surviving for a long time."

"Such people are anomalies..."

Normal spirit manipulators who are not anomalies would've died off long ago, leaving only the very pinnacle, the most special ones.

"With Li Jun coming to help, his condition must be very good, otherwise they would send Wei Jing. It seems that after being saved by Old Qin, not only did Li Jun survive, but he has also grown."

He then began to speculate further.

"Having two team leaders assist in the operation should make it go much smoother." Li Yang said with a hint of joy.

Yang Jian said: "Don't be too naive. I'm confident in Li Jun, regardless of whether he's a friend; at least he won't be an enemy. But Wang Chaling is an unknown factor, someone beyond our control, just like Ye Zhen. When pleased, he'll cooperate; when displeased, he'll fight if he must, kill if necessary, without a moment's hesitation."

"The purpose of dispatching Li Jun is not to help us resolve the Pendulum Clock Curse at the Republic Era Ancient House, but to act as a mediator, fearing that I would clash with Wang Chaling, to prevent another loss of a team leader in a fight. Last time, I had a conflict with Fang Shiming from the circle of friends but gave priority to the larger context and did not immediately take him down."

"It's not that I don't want to, but I'm unwilling to disrupt stability."

"I understand this method, but such an approach always comes at the expense of some people. I just don't want to always be the one who is sacrificed." Yang Jian looked out of the window calmly, thinking back on certain events from the past.

"Let's drop this subject. It's about time now; notify everyone to gather and get ready to depart."

Li Yang nodded, prepared to turn and leave, then suddenly asked, "Aren't we taking a special plane?"

"Planes are too slow. I'll take you there through the Ghost Domain." Yang Jian said.

Li Yang was taken aback, quickly estimating the distance between Dadong City and Dachang City in his mind.

Approximately eight hundred kilometers.

To traverse such a distance with Ghost Domain is not impossible, but it's an excessive use of supernatural power. If it were any other spirit manipulator, they would have died from the fierce ghosts' revival during the transfer, with no chance of arriving alive in Dadong City.

But the team leader said it with such ease; obviously, he must be able to do it effortlessly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned traveling via Ghost Domain.

Very soon.

The team assembled.

Feng Quan, Tong Qian, Xiong Wenwen, Huang Ziya, Li Yang, and... the Ghost Child.

With Yang Jian, exactly seven people.

This is a full team.

Although Zhang Han had died, Yang Jian planned to have the Ghost Child fill the number. The current Ghost Child can already speak, although it can only call out names, it is already terrifying enough.

Because the Ghost Child isn't concerned about the revival of fierce ghosts.

When the lion fights the rabbit, it still uses all its strength.

Yang Jian mobilized everyone and almost all supernatural items, even helping Feng Quan and Huang Ziya to control new ghosts.

If this is not enough to remove the Republic Era Ancient House, then nothing can be said.

"If anything happens in Dachang City, message me immediately. I'll return within ten seconds." Yang Jian glanced at Zhang Liqin and instructed, "The No. 1 safe house is being repaired, but the No. 2 safe house is operational. Even if someone tampers with it, it's sufficient to hold off for ten seconds. You and everyone else should stay there for the next few days."

"What about my mom? Should she stay in a safe house too?"

Xiong Wenwen protested loudly, "My mom is so pretty, she deserves to stay in a golden house."

"Let's go."

Yang Jian remained silent with a cold expression, covering everyone with the Ghost Domain.

They were enveloped in a red glow and disappeared in an instant.

Over the skyline of Dachang City, a perfect arc of crimson light formed, streaking towards Dadong City like a meteor.

This is one way of utilizing the Ghost Domain.

However, using the Ghost Domain for travel is a very extravagant act in the supernatural community and would even be considered foolish.

But for a spirit manipulator like Yang Jian, who has become an anomaly, it seems to be just a normal means of travel, without any impact on himself, and the cost is completely within his capacity to bear.

As long as Ghost Shadow isn't resurrected from its fatal state, Yang Jian can use the fifth level of Ghost Domain indefinitely.

The fifth level of Ghost Domain means that Yang Jian can invade most supernatural places and come and go as he pleases.

Like... the Ghost Post Office.
