Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1084 - 1050: New Reminder
The conference at Shangtong Tower concluded, and everything was decided upon.
Yang Jian would be involved in the Ghost Lake incident, and Feng Quan would accompany him, while the others stayed in Dachang City.
This decision was made after thorough consideration and wasn’t taken lightly.
Therefore, no one else had any objections to such an arrangement.
After the decision, the remaining task was preparation.
Supernatural items and things must be used without hesitation, so Yang Jian, along with Feng Quan, went to the No. 1 safety house in the No. 1 Guanjiang Residential Complex.
This safety house stored various supernatural items and the fierce ghost imprisoned by Yang Jian.
Red embroidered shoes, yellow paper that covered faces, eerie dice, a dirt-covered shovel, counterfeit notes worth seven yuan for the ghost, wish stickers, a ghost deceiving necklace, Ghost Candles, Ghost Incense… and a spear crafted from Coffin Nails and a Firewood Knife.
Unknowingly.
Yang Jian had acquired so many supernatural items, not to mention what the other team members had.
“Yang Jian, let me use this. I think it might suit me better.”
Feng Quan pointed to the dirt-covered shovel on the shelf inside the safety house.
“That shovel was obtained by Wang Yong during a mission at the Ghost Post Office. It’s a very powerful supernatural item, but the more powerful it is, the stronger the curse it carries. I perceived it as having significant risks, so I placed it in the safety house. If you want to borrow it, it’s not impossible, but you’ll get to discuss it with Wang Yong first.”
Yang Jian said, “After all, Wang Yong is the actual user of this supernatural item. He understands its cost well.”
“I will discuss it with Wang Yong later,” Feng Quan said.
Yang Jian nodded and asked, “What else do you need?”
Feng Quan said, “I don’t need anything else, as some of the costs are hard to bear. Just give me three Ghost Candles, two red and one white. Since I’m merely assisting with the incident, it’s not worth consuming too many resources. Being able to protect myself and having supernatural items to reverse the situation should be enough.”
“Okay, let’s do as you said.” Yang Jian did not refuse.
Feng Quan was clear about his role, being an experienced manager.
Since Yang Jian was one of the four captains participating this time, using more resources was justified. He took the Ghost Candles, counterfeit notes worth seven yuan, wish stickers, a ghost deceiving necklace, Ghost Incense… almost as if he intended to empty the safety house of its contents.
He even set his mind on one of the ghosts in the end.
A special golden box was dragged out by Yang Jian from a corner.
This box contained a fierce ghost that had been sealed and placed there for some time.
Yet now Yang Jian planned to utilize this ghost for its potential role.
“I don’t need to control this fierce ghost. I just need to use its ability, so making it into a supernatural item is the safest option,” Yang Jian’s eyes slightly shifted.
In the next moment, he directly opened the golden box.
A chilling aura spread out, accompanied by a familiar stench of decay.
A pale, emaciated corpse that had been dead for a long time but showed no signs of decay appeared before him. The corpse was curled up in the box, compressed into a strange posture, its entire body’s bones seeming to be broken, allowing it to be manipulated at will.
Yet when the box was opened.
The long-dead corpse began to twitch slightly.
It was still alive!
This wasn’t a mere corpse; it was a fierce ghost. Without the gold to block the supernatural, the ghost could quickly regain its movement.
However, Yang Jian reached out with his dark Ghost Hand and grabbed the corpse, which was about to awaken.
The supernatural phenomenon was suppressed.
The corpse stopped struggling.
This fierce ghost wasn’t particularly terrifying; the Ghost Hand’s suppression could directly halt its activity.
“Yang Jian, what do you intend to do?” Feng Quan witnessed this and felt surprised.
He didn’t expect Yang Jian would release a long-imprisoned ghost by opening its confinement at this moment.
One must know that mishandling this could lead to great danger.
“I plan to make a supernatural item out of it, which should aid in this operation,” Yang Jian admitted his intentions without concealment.
The next moment.
His Ghost Eyes scanned the shelf beside.
The iron shelf immediately had a part missing, and then Yang Jian held an iron ring in his hand.
The ring was not intricate but rather rough.
However, it didn’t matter. This was merely an item to carry the supernatural and didn’t require fine craftsmanship or special material. Any ordinary item would suffice.
“This is the ghost once controlled by the man who caused several homicides in Dachang City. This ghost can make people around, even other ghosts, unable to perceive its presence. To find it, the number of surrounding people must be reduced to two or fewer.”
“There are quite a few people involved in the Ghost Lake incident, all elite ghost tamers. A supernatural item that makes one unnoticeable can greatly increase survival chances.”
“I must also leave myself a contingency to ensure my survival. After all, two captains have already fallen in the Ghost Lake incident, so caution is necessary.”
Yang Jian pondered silently, then several of his Ghost Eyes opened sharply again, and the red light brightly shone in the safety house.
The five-layer Ghost Domain opened, directly distorting reality.
In Feng Quan’s view, he witnessed Yang Jian’s pale and thin corpse in his hand twisting and vanishing from this world. Yet it didn’t completely disappear; rather, it fused with the rough iron ring in Yang Jian’s hand.
At this moment, the supernatural space and real-world objects were connected.
Reality became a carrier medium, the fierce ghost was imprisoned in the supernatural space, struggling to break free.
However, the ghost hadn’t entirely left the real world, and supernatural powers still exerted influence.
The most noticeable change was that the black iron ring in Yang Jian’s hand turned white, appearing as if carved from bone, cold and eerie, completely different from before.
The supernatural and reality intertwined.
A supernatural item was forcibly created.
Yang Jian understood that such a supernatural item was not perfectly crafted. If this ring was left unattended for a while, the fierce ghost would revive and return to reality once again.
So, like the necklace from the Deceiving Ghost, it had to be repeatedly imprisoned with five layers of Ghost Domain at intervals to extend the time it remains trapped.
“Using ghosts to create supernatural items, is this the origin of supernatural items?” Feng Quan, who witnessed the entire process, was shocked, learning this aspect of the truth for the first time.
Although he had previously heard Huang Ziya mention the matter of that necklace, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
“Gather at the residential complex entrance at 8:30 tomorrow morning. If there are no issues, you can go back and rest early to make some preparations.” Yang Jian said to Feng Quan.
“Alright, see you tomorrow.” Feng Quan nodded, putting away the shock in his eyes.
“Then I’ll go find Wang Yong first.”
He then left the safe house, carrying the dirt-stained shovel and those few Ghost Candles.
Yang Jian watched him leave, fiddling with the cold, pale ring in his hand.
He intentionally crafted the supernatural item in front of Feng Quan as a form of intimidation. He knew that the memory modification he had previously done on Feng Quan had already failed, and now Feng Quan had his own thoughts, which were quite radical.
This operation was so important that Yang Jian didn’t want any part of it to go wrong.
While Yang Jian was making preparations,
captains from other cities also received the headquarters’ orders to prepare for action.
However, the operation was confidential, and very, very few people knew about this incident.
When Yang Jian was ready and left the safe house to return to his residence,
before even opening the door,
an unusual occurrence happened.
He reached the villa’s living room, and for some unknown reason, there was a pool of water left in the living room.
The water was spreading, diffusing.
“Hmm?” Yang Jian looked up.
The water stain was flowing down from the stairs, and the stairwell was dim, as if the lights had already been turned off.
“Whether it’s Jiang Yan or Zhang Liqin at home, the lights in the room are never turned off.”
Yang Jian squinted his eyes, “Strange supernatural phenomena appearing in my own home, how interesting. When did this happen? Judging by the water, it should have been not long ago, around the time I entered the safe house.”
He ignored the pool on the floor, striding upstairs, following the trail of the water to find its source.
The first floor, second floor, third floor… the water was flowing out from the corridor on the fifth floor.
And the water on the ground was very consistent, not spreading out, as if it was being influenced by something, flowing directly toward the first-floor lobby.
No.
To be precise,
the water wasn’t heading for the lobby but rather towards Yang Jian’s position.
Soon.
Yang Jian stood at the door of a room.
This was his room.
The water was actually flowing out from Yang Jian’s usual room.
He carefully recalled.
But did not remember leaving any dangerous supernatural item in his room.
“No, there is one thing, always in my room.” Yang Jian squinted his eyes and suddenly pushed the door open.
Ghost Eye Peering.
In the corner of the dim room,
a wooden cabinet, styled in an old-fashioned red paint, was unexpectedly placed there.
At this moment, the wooden door at the bottom of the cabinet was open, and murky water was continuously flowing out from inside.
Vaguely, Yang Jian also saw strands of wet hair extending out from inside the wooden cabinet.
“Ghost Cabinet…” Yang Jian’s face darkened.
At this time,
the wooden cabinet, dismembered and chopped with a Firewood Knife, had somehow restored itself.
Now, it was even more eerie, not existing in reality, only visible under the sight of the Ghost Eye.
This was no longer just a supernatural item.
It had become a curse.
Yang Jian was the one bearing the curse.
“There were never two conditions for one request. From the moment I traded with the Ghost Cabinet, its curse had already followed me. Now, the curse of the Ghost Cabinet has emerged again.”
“Now, the Ghost Cabinet is spewing endless turbid water. Is this some sort of omen?”
“An omen of the Ghost Lake event’s peril? Or is it a reminder that in this Ghost Lake event, the Ghost Cabinet is initiating a new transaction?”
Yang Jian’s expression changed unpredictably, his mind rapidly thinking.
