Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1481 - 1445: Losses and Three Faces

At this moment, inside a building closest to the Ghost Lake.

It’s dark here, all the lights have disappeared, even if a light occasionally comes on, it goes out immediately due to supernatural influence. This building, however, serves as a barrier to prevent the vicious ghosts from entering Dahai City. The team responsible for this place consists of Li Yang, Tong Qian, Su Fan, Zhang Lei, and others.

Suddenly.

Accompanied by the sound of the main door being suddenly slammed open, a painful scream echoed.

The next moment.

Lin Long fell to the ground, his face ashen, his life force rapidly dwindling. Some kind of terrifying supernatural attack hit him, leaving him severely injured instantly.

“How is this possible.” Li Yang widened his eyes, showing an incredulous expression.

Just before this, a vicious ghost had emerged from the Ghost Lake and entered the building they were in charge of. Hence, their team decided to join forces to deal with this ghost. As a result, Li Yang had just used Su Fan’s Premonition Ability to determine the ghost’s location and successfully trapped the ghost inside a room. Yet, this scene unfolded in the blink of an eye.

The Ghost Door Blocker’s supernatural effort failed, the door was brutally slammed open by the ghost, and Lin Long, whether due to proximity or bad luck, was attacked the moment the door was opened by the ghost.

“Use the sacrificial doll, quickly, maybe we can still save him.” Su Fan reminded from the side.

This came too suddenly, causing Lin Long to not have enough time to use the sacrificial doll or the red Ghost Candle.

“I’ll do it.” Zhang Lei said without further ado, quickly risking himself to get closer. He held a sacrificial doll, needing to go forward to stain it with Lin Long’s blood.

Only a sacrificial doll stained with Lin Long’s blood could substitute for his death.

Zhang Lei’s approach was actually extremely risky, because if the vicious ghost behind the door could open the door and kill Lin Long, it could kill him too. Even though he had mastered a new supernatural balance with the help of Yang Jian, possessing stronger supernatural powers, he still seemed somewhat inadequate before such a vicious ghost.

This was a vicious ghost even a captain would find troublesome to deal with.

“I’ll help you.” Li Yang, feeling somewhat guilty, gritted his teeth and rushed forward without hesitation.

The Ghost Door Blocker’s supernatural effort worked again; the door that had just been opened slammed shut once more. Yet, even so, he didn’t relax in the slightest, because this ghost could easily slam open the door he supernaturally locked, and he did so only to buy Zhang Lei some time.

Zhang Lei quickly got to Lin Long’s side, tore open a cut on him, and smeared his blood onto the sacrificial doll.

The sacrificial doll stained with Lin Long’s blood immediately became active.

But strangely, this sacrificial doll wasn’t as lively as before; instead, it looked sick and lacked vigor, without even the strength to struggle free from Zhang Lei’s hand. It was only after Zhang Lei let go that the sacrificial doll successfully fell to the ground.

However, the sacrificial doll lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up, and its body made of old tattered fabric started to decay at a visible rate, then disintegrated directly.

Though the sacrificial doll’s state was terrible, Lin Long’s condition improved rapidly.

The ashen hue on his face was quickly fading, and his weak life force also began to flourish once more. Everything was reversing at an incredible speed, seemingly about to fully recover soon.

However, the sacrificial doll didn’t last long, soon collapsing on the ground, unable to move; its body, sewn from old tattered fabric, was completely destroyed, leaving only some remaining scraps of cloth.

“The sacrificial doll is dead, and Lin Long’s condition is improving, he should be fine now.” Wen Zhong said in a low voice from the side.

Zhang Lei’s face turned red, his body seemingly burning like a furnace. At this moment, he stared intently at Lin Long, “No, he hasn’t woken up yet. The situation indeed had some improvement just now, but now… it has deteriorated again.”

Li Yang glanced once.

Sure enough.

Lin Long’s face, which had just regained some color, turned ashen again, and this time it deteriorated very quickly, even surpassing the previous situation.

“The ghost’s supernatural influence is still on Lin Long. Though the sacrificial doll transferred a part of the damage, it was far from enough.” Li Yang’s gaze grew serious.

“How could this be? Isn’t the sacrificial doll supposed to substitute for death? Has the sacrificial doll failed?” Su Fan exclaimed.

Li Yang shook his head, “No, it’s not that the sacrificial doll lost its effect, but it was used too late. Lin Long didn’t use the sacrificial doll before the supernatural attack, but after enduring it. You have to know that some supernatural attacks carry a curse effect, which remains on a living person until death. However, after death, the curse is still there and still active; it’s just that a dead person can’t die again, so nobody pays attention to it.”

“Continue using the sacrificial dolls and see if we can deplete this supernatural power, don’t stop.”

After speaking, Li Yang threw another sacrificial doll, directly landing on Lin Long’s previous wound, staining it with his blood.

With the second sacrificial doll used, the situation was identical to before.

Although Lin Long’s condition improved for a short time, as the second sacrificial doll died, his condition continued to deteriorate again.

“Another one.” Su Fan also stepped forward, not sparing her own sacrificial doll.

But the third sacrificial doll showed some changes, unlike the previous two dispirited ones; it exhibited some liveliness, starting to move around after being stained with Lin Long’s blood.

However, as it moved, this sacrificial doll gradually deflated, becoming dispirited, before finally tilting its head and lying motionless on the ground, as its body began to disintegrate at a visible rate.

“Indeed, it’s useful. Perhaps another sacrifice doll can bring Lin Long back.” Wen Zhong immediately said, then he also took out a sacrifice doll.

However, at this moment.

Suddenly.

The door Li Yang had sealed was once again forced open. Although the force wasn’t great, he couldn’t stop it. The supernatural power of the Ghost Door Blocker was strong, but it only slightly interfered and did not fully prevent it.

“Not good, the ghost is here again, be careful,”

After a reminder, Li Yang gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the moment, did not continue to block the door but instead opened it directly.

This was the second supernatural power he wielded, the Door-Opening Ghost.

Once the door is opened, those inside are doomed to die.

This power, obtained from the Ghost Post Office, was now skillfully controlled by Li Yang.

Although this deathly supernatural power couldn’t kill a ghost, it would greatly affect the ghost if it was subjected to this power, potentially leaving it in a long period of stasis.

After the door opened, the room was pitch black.

But a sound came, heavy and oppressive footsteps.

At this moment, these footsteps did not step out of the room but retreated several steps backward instead.

“It worked, but the effect is not as significant as imagined. The ghost merely backed away a few steps.” Li Yang was drenched in cold sweat.

He felt the ghost’s terror completely at this moment.

Indeed, only a Captain could handle such a thing; even these candidate Captains were not qualified. Luckily, several of them joined hands; otherwise, Li Yang felt he would have been killed by the ghost by now.

“Lin Long is dead.”

However, the next moment, Zhang Lei brought extremely bad news from the side.

“How could this be? He was fine just now.”

Wen Zhong was doubtful as he had already reached Lin Long’s side, the sacrifice doll in his hand almost used.

All this happened in less than three seconds.

“Lin Long died the instant the door was opened.” Zhang Lei’s flushed face looked particularly grim.

Everyone else fell silent, their mood exceptionally heavy.

It’s known that Lin Long’s strength was not weak, yet such a person didn’t even have a chance to make a move and was attacked by the Vicious Ghost, and three sacrifice dolls couldn’t bring him back. If the ghost had attacked others, the outcome might be the same.

“Without finding the pattern of this ghost’s killing, charging in directly will easily lead to death. This is a Vicious Ghost that not even Yang Jian’s Ghost Lake can subdue; outside, it could be an S-level supernatural event.” Su Fan said.

“Everyone move aside, I’ll handle this.” At this moment, a strange voice sounded.

At this moment, Tong Qian had finished their makeup and strode over.

Li Yang, Zhang Lei, Su Fan, Wen Zhong, and Liu Qi all looked at him.

“As per the previous plan, Su Fan will predict the ghost’s actions and location, Li Yang will restrict them, Zhang Lei, Wen Zhong, Liu Qi, and Lin Long will coordinate to fight the Vicious Ghost to buy time, and finally, I will finish it. Although there was an unexpected situation, the plan must go on.”

With these words, Tong Qian strode into that dark room.

As Tong Qian entered the room, everyone saw that all three of her faces had changed, one of them everyone recognized—it was Wei Jing, codenamed Ghost Envoy. But the other two faces were unfamiliar.

However, Li Yang identified them. Among the remaining two faces, one was a woman, incredibly beautiful, stunning, like something out of a painting, impossible to find in reality.

This face was He Yuelian—no, that wasn’t right; it was the girl from the Ghost Painting.

The last face… old, dim, covered with corpse spots—was none other than the Door Knocking Ghost, also the first administrator of the Ghost Post Office, Luo Wensong.

Ghost Envoy, Ghost Painting, Door Knocking Ghost.

Three terrifying supernatural powers were now concentrated on Tong Qian. Although possessing such powers was brief, at this moment, he already had Captain-level strength.

“This Tong Qian is a little crazy, actually drawing three faces right away,” Li Yang was shocked inside.

But then he understood.

The ghost’s terror was evident, Lin Long died right away, even the sacrifice dolls couldn’t bring him back, so Tong Qian, who stood by and drew two faces, didn’t want to hold back anymore and drew the last face, intending to finish the ghost in the room in one go.
