Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1465 - 1432: The Two Who Left the Ship

In the darkness, Yang Jian and Ye Zhen joined forces to combat the endless supernatural dangers around them.

When these two top ghost handlers in the supernatural circle put aside their differences and took coordinated action, the results were much better than imagined. Previously, when the two fought alone, there was a risk of being exhausted to death. But now, with their joint efforts, the surrounding dangers could gradually be resisted.

The number of times Yang Jian had to reboot significantly decreased, and the supernatural injuries on Ye Zhen also began to disappear gradually due to the power of the Scapegoat Ghost.

Feeling their conditions gradually improving, both of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’ve always said that if we join forces, nothing on Earth can threaten our safety,” Ye Zhen said with a big laugh at that moment. He regained his confidence, brimming with vigor, sweeping away his previous embarrassment and dejection.

Yang Jian’s expression remained serious: “It’s too early to be happy now. Though we can fend off the immediate dangers together, the situation on the Ghost Ship is far worse than we imagined. The ghosts in the cabin haven’t been fully released. From just now to now, you should have felt it too, the frequency of ghost attacks on us is still increasing.”

“Only when the frequency of attacks decreases can we say we have truly overcome this danger.”

“You are Yang the Invincible, since when have you become so indecisive? This isn’t like you. At times like this, you should be more confident, knowing that the strong do not fear failure; they fear having a weak heart. As long as the heart is invincible, even a few failures don’t matter.”

Ye Zhen lectured earnestly, imparting some useless knowledge to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian had no interest in continuing the exchange with him, lest he get assimilated by his strange thoughts. He said no more and focused on dealing with the surrounding dangers.

Even with Ye Zhen’s help, he was not at ease.

In the deep darkness, the fierce ghosts seemed endless, with supernatural attacks coming one after another. His Firewood Knife had dismembered countless ghostly bodies, but it was still useless, as those dismembered ghosts soon revived.

Even though he couldn’t clearly see the nearby situation, Yang Jian could feel that the number of fierce ghosts around was still increasing.

“If it wasn’t for my repeated reboots and Ye Zhen’s repeated substitutions to offset the lethal supernatural attacks, any other captain or even any other King would have dropped dead within a minute; there’s absolutely no way they could survive,” Yang Jian thought nervously.

As time gradually passed, the two of them struggled bitterly in the darkness, hoping to last until the Ghost Ship returned to normal and drove away the darkness. However, reality was much harsher than imagined; they didn’t make it until the darkness faded and instead reached a new breaking point.

The feeling of being gradually exhausted to the end of their wits could bring anyone to despair.

At this point, Ye Zhen was no longer as optimistic. He might have realized that he could die here and became silent. Yang Jian felt similarly. Although he thought he could hold on for a while longer, without seeing hope, such persistence was meaningless.

“Unless something unexpected happens, Ye Zhen and I will both be exhausted to death here,” Yang Jian now had a clear realization.

Ye Zhen spoke again this time: “Staying here is a dead end. Why don’t we join forces to fight our way off the ship? Maybe that would give us a slim chance of survival.”

“You’re overthinking it. Getting off the ship now would only end up worse. This isn’t reality, and no one knows what the result would be if we get lost in this ghostly place. Instead of gambling on the unknown, we might as well wait it out here. As long as we hold on, we can wait until the Ghost Ship returns to reality.”

Yang Jian immediately rejected Ye Zhen’s idea, thinking it was even more dangerous.

Trying to escape by jumping off the ship would extinguish the last chance of survival.

On the ship, there was still a possibility of surviving, while jumping off would lead to a worse death. He had fallen into that water before and knew how it felt, while Ye Zhen was lucky and hadn’t fallen, so he couldn’t understand the dangers of the sea beneath the Ghost Ship.

“Jumping off the ship won’t work; staying here will also doom us. Alas, for me, Ye Zhen the Invincible, to possibly meet my end on this broken ship? Truly, a dragon stranded in the shallows, a tiger fallen to flatlands,” Ye Zhen lamented to the sky, looking like a hero at the end of his road.

Yang Jian’s eyes flickered, and he kept thinking of a solution. He actually had quite a few means to deal with the current situation, but unfortunately, his Ghost Lake’s supernatural powers were sealed, rendering many methods ineffective. Otherwise, he would have considered releasing the Hungry Ghost to devour all the ghosts on this Ghost Ship in one relentless stroke.

Perhaps it would eventually nurture an incomprehensibly terrifying Hungry Ghost, but at least he knew the Hungry Ghost’s killing patterns and could avoid the danger, much easier than confronting wave after wave of supernatural attacks.

As he mused idly.

Perhaps they had endured long enough for some change to occur, or maybe they got lucky and a miracle happened.

Suddenly.

At that moment, the commotion in the darkness abruptly stopped, and then, the silence spread around at an incredibly rapid speed within just a few seconds, and all the terrifying supernatural attacks ceased one after another.

The surroundings instantly plunged into a deathly stillness.

“Hmm?”

This change caught Ye Zhen off guard, just as he was raising his longsword. Moments ago, he clearly saw a fierce ghost charging at him through the darkness, only to be pulled back by a more terrifying supernatural force in mid-air, disappearing into the shadows without any movement.

“What happened?”

Yang Jian replied, “You’re asking me? Who can I ask? Just now, all the fierce ghosts ceased their supernatural assaults, which is very unusual. Once a fierce ghost targets us, its attacks shouldn’t stop unless it falls asleep. But the surrounding darkness hasn’t dissipated, which means the Ghost Ship hasn’t returned to normal.”

“Hence, it wasn’t the Ghost Ship that interfered with the nearby ghosts; something else appeared.”

“Hey, Yang the Invincible, don’t say things that scary. Wasn’t the situation terrifying enough just now?” Ye Zhen immediately responded with eyes wide open.

“It’s unclear. Who knows how many fierce ghosts the Ghost Ship has accumulated. Even the King Organization probably has no idea about the situation inside, just as I don’t know how many ghostly beings my Ghost Lake is soaking. Some dangers can’t be understood until they are truly released.”

“I was worried before that there might be more terrifying ghosts lurking deep within the Ghost Ship.”

Yang Jian’s expression grew even heavier, as there was no sound in the surrounding darkness, eerily quiet. All supernatural movements vanished; even those ghosts wandering around disappeared to places unknown, as if they couldn’t just vanish into thin air?

“Don’t hesitate, take this time to restore your condition. Even if we encounter danger, we’ll be better prepared to deal with it.”

He didn’t over-cautiously guard against the abnormal surroundings; instead, he used this brief respite to adjust his condition, removing the supernatural injuries on him to restore his peak state.

Ye Zhen did the same.

As long as there were no supernatural attacks, it took only a dozen seconds for most of his injuries to heal. The remaining wounds were akin to some kind of curse, and without a new target to transfer it to, he was unable to dispel it and had to ignore it for now.

The silence in the darkness didn’t last very long.

Not long after the two adjusted their states.

Suddenly.

A huge and dull thudding sound suddenly echoed, and the whole Ghost Ship seemed to shake. Yang Jian could even feel the tremor beneath his feet.

“The sound is coming from inside the cabin, and it’s very close to us.” Yang Jian stared at the entrance to the cabin, following the sound.

There was something strange inside.

Perhaps the disappearance of the vicious ghost just now is related to this disturbance.

“Bang!”

Another dull thud echoed, this time much closer, and the vibration underfoot grew more intense.

“That thing is coming out of the cabin,” Yang Jian said in a low voice.

“That’s good news,” Ye Zhen said.

“You call that good news?” Yang Jian looked in the direction where Ye Zhen was standing.

Ye Zhen explained, “No, that’s not what I meant. I meant the surrounding darkness is starting to dissipate, and I can see the surroundings a bit. There seems to be light in the distance… I can feel that we’re about to escape.”

Yang Jian noticed this only when he mentioned it.

The darkness around the Ghost Ship was starting to disperse like a thick fog, and indeed, a faint light could be seen in the distance. As time passed, more images gradually appeared around them—of a city far away.

This was the scene of reality.

“The Ghost Ship is about to appear in reality. This is our chance, we must hurry and get off the ship,” Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately said urgently.

“You don’t need to tell me that. If we don’t leave now, when will we?” Ye Zhen said.

“Bang!”

Another loud bang responded, and the giant Ghost Ship even began to sway.

The cabin could no longer contain what was inside.

The source of all this seemed about to appear on the deck.

Yang Jian looked at the cabin’s position; he hadn’t noticed anything yet, indicating that the ghost deep within the cabin hadn’t truly emerged.

And the scenes of reality around them were becoming increasingly clear.

“Shall we jump ship now?” Ye Zhen was eager to leave this ghostly place.

“No, not yet. Now is the time when reality and the supernatural intersect. If you jump now, you might return to reality if you’re lucky; if not, you might be stuck on the Ghost Ship forever. Wait a bit longer, just a bit longer. We only have one chance. If we can’t go back, we won’t survive the next voyage.”

Yang Jian stopped him and decided to wait a little longer for safety’s sake.

By then, the surrounding darkness had almost dispersed; even without a ghost eye, one could see the situation around.

At this moment, strange corpses lay all around Yang Jian; these corpses were incomplete, some with only a hand, others with only half a head. Although the corpses were incomplete, danger still lurked because these were true vicious ghosts, waiting for the time to resurge.

However, now, these vicious ghosts seemed to have fallen into a slumber, having not awakened for a long time.

The Ghost Ship seemed to have ended that dangerous voyage after appearing in reality. The supernatural nature of the ship seemed to have resumed, a terrifying restraint emerged.

The supernatural power on Yang Jian was being restricted, while the vicious ghosts around him started sinking.

The deck, like a living entity, began devouring the ghosts above it.

The vicious ghosts didn’t struggle, but gradually sank into the deck, as if being pulled into an abyss, needing to start all over again to return to the deck.

Yet Yang Jian and Ye Zhen remained unaffected; the eerie supernatural entity of the Ghost Ship targeted only the ghosts on the ship and not them.

“Bang!”

At that moment, the banging sound inside the cabin persisted, but this time it had noticeably changed.

Though the Ghost Ship was still shaking and vibrating, it was clear that the force of the impact had lessened, and the distance from where the sound came had increased.

The dangerous entity trying to come out of the cabin seemed to be affected by the Ghost Ship, restrained before finally reaching the deck, being pulled back to be confined in the depths of the cabin, unable to come out.

At that moment, Yang Jian had a feeling that the existence of the Ghost Ship was closely related to that entity.

“We can’t wait any longer; it’s now or never, we must jump ship,” Ye Zhen couldn’t wait any longer. He saw the illusion had disappeared and reality had fully emerged.

Seizing the opportunity, he took a few steps and jumped straight off the Ghost Ship.

“Go.”

Yang Jian didn’t hesitate either; he immediately turned around, no longer paying attention to the situation on the Ghost Ship, and followed Ye Zhen to jump ship.

The two of them escaped the Ghost Ship, falling from a height not with fear but with the joy of surviving a near-death experience.

Being close to the Ghost Ship interfered with supernatural activities, but it wasn’t completely impossible to use supernatural power, only that the time to use such powers was very brief.

However, this brief moment was enough for the two of them.

Before hitting the sea, the two used the Ghost Domain, disappearing instantly and distancing themselves from the Ghost Ship, escaping from that disturbed area, successfully escaping.

Soon.

Yang Jian stood on the sea not far away, his heart still unsettled, his eyes involuntarily fixed on the Ghost Ship once again.

Because he sensed something was wrong.

The Ghost Ship, this time, didn’t seem to disappear, its time remaining in reality appeared to be longer.
