Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1466 - 1433: Resounding Chimes
The process of escaping from the Ghost Ship went smoothly without any disturbances.
But this does not mean that the matter has come to an end. Through the experience on the Ghost Ship, Yang Jian fully realized the horrors of this ship. Just releasing a few of the fierce ghosts from the cabin nearly exhausted him and Ye Zhen to death on the deck.
More daunting is the fact that the depths of this Ghost Ship still hide unknown terrors. Once released, no one knows what will happen, but one thing is for certain: no one can resist it.
Even Captain Level ghost manipulators may be instantly killed.
This sense of oppression and unease, Yang Jian had only felt it in one other supernatural incident, which was during the seven days at the ancient mansion, when they held a funeral for the old man of the ancient house.
If they hadn’t run fast enough then, the supernatural resurgence after the old man’s death would have almost wiped them out.
“The Ghost Ship is still moving forward, it hasn’t altered course, it’s coming towards Dadong City.”
At this moment, the more Yang Jian observed, the worse he felt. He noticed that the Ghost Ship had been lingering in reality for too long, showing no signs of disappearing, and it seemed to be moving with a tendency to directly land.
Although it’s a ship, it is more so a supernatural object, something that cannot be judged by common sense. If this continues, the Ghost Ship might really sail on land.
“Could it be that the King Organization wants the Ghost Ship to forcefully land and send the fierce ghosts into the urban district of Dadong City?” A bad guess emerged in Yang Jian’s mind.
“Someone is coming.” Suddenly, Ye Zhen was aware of something. He looked in the direction of Dadong City.
The next moment.
Ash-white paper ash began to fall from the top of the sea continuously. The surrounding scenery started to blur once more, the reality at this moment seemed somewhat unreal, and the scenery in the distance was no longer as clear. A kind of unknown supernatural transformation appeared. In just a moment, everything nearby seemed to have turned into an oil painting.
And in this world of oil painting, He Yuelian appeared.
Along with her, other captains from headquarters also appeared. They seemed to be well-prepared, knowing the exact time and place of the Ghost Ship’s emergence, which is why they supported them so promptly.
“I thought it was the enemy coming, didn’t expect it to be other captains, but no use in coming. Even I, Ye, can’t handle this; they will also inevitably be at a loss.” Ye Zhen shook his head, still not optimistic about the current situation.
“Yang Jian.” Many captains appeared at the same time.
Seeing Yang Jian and Ye Zhen return unharmed instantly put them at ease.
“The previous deal has been completed. We made a deal with the daughter of the Manor Lord from the King Organization, exchanged his head for a Nautical Chart of the Ghost Ship. This Nautical Chart can predict the exact location of the Ghost Ship five minutes in advance.” Lu Zhiwen said.
“So the Manor Lord has been released? But trading for the Nautical Chart is worth it. Our biggest crisis now is the Ghost Ship; finding a way to deal with it, even releasing a King doesn’t matter.” Yang Jian nodded, having no objections to this trade.
After all, before he left, he had let Lu Zhiwen handle it by himself, whether to make the deal or not was also up to them.
Since the deal was done, it means it was agreed upon by most of the captains, there shouldn’t be any big problems.
“I’ve covered a nearby area inside the Ghost Domain to hopefully protect reality from the Ghost Ship’s influence.” He Yuelian said.
The supernatural force of Ghost Drawing had long since spread. Once released, the Ghost Domain formed would be immense, even Yang Jian couldn’t compare.
“Yang Jian, what’s happening now?” Leuk San frowned, pointing at the Ghost Ship coming ahead.
“Ye Zhen and I attempted to find a way to control the Ghost Ship. We gained a bit, but it was still futile. Now the Ghost Ship seems to have undergone some change. It no longer hides itself but moves directly toward Dadong City. I suspect the King Organization’s Ark Plan is going to be executed today.”
Yang Jian said gravely: “The Ghost Ship will soon land, and then it will release the fierce ghosts in the cabin… The time left for us is not much.”
“Since there’s no way to control the Ghost Ship and make it turn around, the only method is to intercept it here. Anyone have good ideas?” Lin Bei looked at the crowd and spoke.
“Want to intercept this thing? It’s too difficult. Just standing there, I can already feel the intense supernatural interference coming from the Ghost Ship. Even if we actually use supernatural powers, I’m afraid it won’t work.” Zhou Deng immediately shook his head, looking at the huge thing in front of him brought fear to his heart.
Even if he risked his life blocking in front of the Ghost Ship, he couldn’t stop it for even a second, it would just crush him into dust.
“What if we all use supernatural powers?” He Yiner suggested suddenly.
Lu Zhiwen said: “No, even our supernatural powers affect each other. The more people strike at the Ghost Ship, the more serious the interference. Just like our Ghost Domain, since He Yuelian used it, we can’t use it easily anymore, or the Ghost Domain conflict would be bad for everyone.”
“If that’s the case, I will summon spirits.” He Yiner said resolutely, planning to use her trump card.
But the Faceless Person beside her stopped her and shook his head.
“Summoning a top-notch ghost manipulator from the Republic of China Period might stop the Ghost Ship, this is the only way.” He Yiner seemed confused.
Yang Jian said: “It’s useless, even if you summon the Sexton Luo Qian again, he can only stay in reality briefly. Against ghost manipulators, it’s fine, the outcome can be decided in a short time, taking them down. But the Ghost Ship isn’t a ghost manipulator, it’s a supernatural entity, also a fierce ghost, it won’t die. Even if the top ghost manipulator from the Republic of China can intercept, how long can it last?”
“One minute, two minutes? Or ten minutes? Those summoned are only temporary, despite their strong individual powers, their duration is short, and in the end, the Ghost Ship will surely win.”
“Joining forces doesn’t work, summoning spirits doesn’t work either, are we really going to just watch the ghost ship sail into Dadong City?” He Yiner said.
Yang Jian seriously replied, “Don’t rush. If the Ark plan from the opposing side were easily broken, the King Organization wouldn’t have risked everything on it. We need to calm down and explore all possibilities.”
“Yang Jian, use the pendulum clock.” Suddenly, Wang Chaling spoke up at this moment, adjusting his glasses, “Use the pendulum clock to adjust the ghost ship’s time, offsetting it from real-time. In doing so, the ghost ship will permanently disappear from this world.”
“Good idea, that’s one method.” Many people’s eyes lit up, thinking this was a good idea.
Yang Jian frowned, “The pendulum clock’s influence is limited, but covering the ghost ship is feasible. We can try it, but I don’t know if it will succeed.”
As he spoke, the sea under his feet started bubbling.
At the next moment.
Pale arms soaked in water reached out, lifting an old pendulum clock from the water.
This is the supernatural pendulum clock from the Wang Family’s old house, capable of affecting the time of an area.
“First retreat to the shore, I will adjust the pendulum clock the moment the ghost ship reaches the shore to make it disappear.” After Yang Jian finished speaking, he quickly retreated with the pendulum clock, moving away from the sea and arriving at the nearby shore.
The others swiftly retreated as well, dispersing quickly instead of gathering together.
“Not far enough, move farther away. We can’t be affected by the pendulum clock.” Wang Chaling reminded, distancing himself further because he understood the pendulum clock’s range of influence.
The other captains saw this and increased their distance further.
At this time, Yang Jian stood alone on the beach with the pendulum clock. In front of him, an old and eerie ghost ship was slowly approaching. Although the ghost ship wasn’t moving fast, it was getting very close to the coast, covering more ground towards the shore with every few meters advanced.
“At this sailing speed, we can act in three minutes. By then, the pendulum clock’s range will perfectly cover the ghost ship.” Wang Chaling observed, quickly calculated, and accurately stated a time.
Yang Jian said, “If the action fails, He Yuelian, be prepared on your end.”
“Alright, I’ll pull all nearby towns into the ghost drawing. Regular people won’t notice anything unusual, don’t worry.” He Yuelian said.
If the ghost ship couldn’t be stopped from landing, she must transfer all nearby residents, preventing the supernatural from spreading and affecting too many ordinary people.
This method of He Yuelian’s is essentially the prototype of Zhang Xiangguang’s Peach Blossom Fountain plan.
However, she is forced to transfer some residents, while Zhang Xiangguang proactively covers everyone with the Ghost Domain from the ghost drawing, pulling everyone into the world of the ghost drawing.
The former is more restrained, while the latter is a desperate and crazier approach.
Time gradually passed.
The ghost ship came closer to Yang Jian.
Everyone’s hearts were tense because the supernatural pendulum clock was the best method they could think of. If it failed, they truly had no other way to deal with the ghost ship. After the ghost ship landed, releasing a shipful of fierce ghosts, Yang Jian would necessarily initiate the Great Flood plan to counteract.
By that time, the entire world’s structure will be rewritten, and from then on, this place will evolve into a world filled with supernatural occurrences, with peace and stability no longer existent.
Three minutes were about to pass quickly.
The gigantic ghost ship was very close.
Yang Jian was calm at this moment, having opened the pendulum clock and preparing to synchronize time.
After waiting silently for a dozen seconds.
The time arrived.
Yang Jian quickly operated the supernatural pendulum clock to change the time, pulling time back to thirty minutes earlier.
Which means he aimed to reboot for half an hour.
As he changed the time, Yang Jian let go, and the huge clock chime suddenly rang, resonating in the surroundings, echoing far in the night sky.
“Dong! Dong!”
The pendulum clock chimed in the dead of night.
Soon after, Yang Jian on the beach disappeared, along with the supernatural pendulum clock, but what shocked everyone was that the huge ghost ship before them did not disappear along with the chime, continued sailing forward without any sign of stopping.
At this moment, all captains were silent, weighed down with indescribable heaviness.
