Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1552 - 1515: Premonition and Burial Ground

A normal ghost tamer, knowing they have less than two days to live, would unhesitatingly consume a packet of herbal medicine to extend their life by twenty days, without worrying about the consequences.

But Yang Jian remains calm; in such a situation, he still chooses not to take the medicine, as if he’s not bothered about dying tomorrow.

“Taking medicine is just a temporary fix; the issue of ghost revival can’t be solved with a packet of medicine. Even if I take what you’ve given me, the ghost revival problem will still exist. I have to find a new balance to live longer. If I can’t find a solution, then I’ll choose to lie in a coffin,” Yang Jian said.

“You went to the Coffin Shop at Taiping Ancient Town?” the blind old man asked.

Yang Jian said, “I just got back from Taiping Ancient Town not long ago. I robbed the Coffin Shop and took quite a few coffins.”

“Well done. Being able to take coffins from the Coffin Shop means you’re capable of handling things independently. But that’s not enough; in this era, there aren’t any teammates that match your level, and you can’t end this era of ghost revival as swiftly as we could,” the blind old man slightly shook his head, showing a mix of regret and helplessness.

The regret is that this era finally produced a talent, yet he has to face the challenge of ghost revival, which, if not overcome, means death.

The helplessness is that even if Yang Jian survives, he can only handle things on his own but can’t bear the burdens of this era.

“I don’t care what this era becomes; I need to consider whether I can survive. I’ve already understood the effects of the herbal medicine, so I won’t choose to extend my life with it. I’ll use other methods,” Yang Jian said.

“It’s too difficult; the ghost on that bus is not an easy one. If it were in the past era, I might have helped a little, but now… there’s nothing I can do,” the blind old man said.

He understands that bus and, because of that, knows how difficult Yang Jian’s situation is.

“I’m not here for help; I’m here for answers. Only when I understand everything clearly can I make the right judgment,” Yang Jian said.

“Seeing you like this, it seems you’re not planning to lie in a coffin,” the blind old man, now with an aged face, showed a slight smile.

Yang Jian said, “Lying in a coffin to cling to life is no different from dying; I won’t lie in one.”

“Very good. I’m a bit excited to see you overcome this hurdle and grow again,” the blind old man said, “If you survive, remember to visit me again to let me see you. At that time, this old thing might still be alive, but you have to be quick, don’t let me wait too long.”

“That’s no problem,” Yang Jian said.

He had no reason to refuse such a small request.

“If there’s anything else you need to know, I can tell you,” the blind old man became enthusiastic, wanting to offer Yang Jian some help.

“No need, I have my own methods, and I should leave now; I can’t spend too much time here,” Yang Jian said.

The blind old man said, “I understand; after all, you only have two days left, and time is indeed tight. Young man, go ahead, I look forward to seeing you again.”

Yang Jian nodded, ready to leave, and then suddenly remembered something. He took out a stack of colorful ghost money from his pocket and put it on the table next to him.

“This is one hundred yuan of Ghost Money; it’s what I promised Sister Hong. Now that I’m leaving with uncertain life and death, I hope you can pass this money to her.”

“Alright, no problem,” the blind old man said.

Seeing the matter settled, Yang Jian then left.

He could owe anyone money, but not Sister Hong, not because he was afraid of offending her, but because that hundred yuan was earned by taking down several kings, essentially a bounty from headquarters, and as Enforcement Captain, he had to follow the rules and not break them.

If he reneged today, then headquarters would have no credibility, and in case of future incidents, outside support would be impossible to obtain.

“Master, has he gone?” Shortly after Yang Jian left, Xiao Ru came out with a bowl of dark medicine.

The blind old man gently lay down on a bamboo bed, coughed lightly, and smiled, “Yes, and he won’t live for two days.”

“Does Master wish for his death?” Xiao Ru put down the medicine and asked curiously.

“No, no, I hope he survives,” the blind old man said.

“Then why is Master smiling so happily today?” Xiao Ru asked.

“You’re mistaken, Xiao Ru, Master is happy today because Yang Jian chose not to take herbal medicine to extend his life, and won’t crawl into a coffin to eke out a living… Even with life-saving methods, he abandoned them all. He is a person of great courage. If he can survive, perhaps he’s the closest existence to ‘that variable’ in this era. I see a glimmer of hope in him,” the blind old man said with a smile.

“He is that variable? I don’t think so,” Xiao Ru said.

“He is called Yang Jian, right? Xiao Ru, remember this name well and keep an eye on him for me,” the blind old man said.

“Yes, Master.” Although Xiao Ru didn’t think much of Yang Jian, she agreed as her master had spoken.

Yang Jian, leaving the herbal shop, also made a decision in his heart.

He had no choice but to try to harness the Ghost Blood.

“But before I officially act, I have to make some preparations,” Yang Jian thought to himself.

He didn’t take immediate action but planned to arrange his affairs first. After all, he might not return this time.

Yang Jian dialed a number.

Soon, the call connected.

“Captain, this is Li Yang. Any instructions?” came Li Yang’s voice over the phone.

Yang Jian directly said, “To make a long story short, after this confrontation with the Ghost Ship, I’ve had some issues, and I’m about to experience a ghost revival. I plan to harness the Ghost Blood in the suburbs to find a new balance. During this period, all matters, big or small, in Dachang City are your responsibility. I’ve left ten coffins with Wang Shanshan. If any teammate can’t hold on and is about to experience a ghost revival, I permit you to use those ten coffins.”

He then explained the functions of the black and red coffins to Li Yang.

“Captain, you…” Li Yang’s voice was full of surprise on the phone.

Nobody expected that after finally defeating the King Organization and solving the Ghost Ship incident, Enforcement Captain Yang Jian would also face the danger of a ghost revival.

“No need to worry about me, ghost revival is something every ghost tamer will encounter. If I survive, I’ll return to Dachang City. If I’m absent for a long time, just assume I’m dead, and the future path will be up to you,” Yang Jian said.

“I… understand, Captain. I’ll wait for your return,” Li Yang replied after a brief silence, his tone solemn.

You could hear the heaviness in his heart.

“After I leave, if any other captains inquire, just tell them my situation truthfully, without any need to hide. Perhaps due to my absence, you’ll face some pressure, but you must adapt to this pressure,” Yang Jian added.

He knew that if he experienced ghost revival and didn’t appear for a long time, Dachang City would get into trouble.

But it was unavoidable.

Only in this way can other teammates grow.

“How long will Captain be gone this time?” Li Yang inquired.

Yang Jian replied, “I’m not sure, but be prepared for the worst.”

“I understand, but I believe Captain will definitely come back alive,” Li Yang said.

“I hope so.” Yang Jian said and hung up the phone.

A single phone call was the last arrangement he made.

As for personal matters, Yang Jian had arranged them several times before, with little variation, so there was no need to repeat them.

Yang Jian then returned to Dachang City once more.

This time, he came to a section of a sealed highway on the outskirts of the city.

Standing on the highway, he looked into the distance, where an intensely crimson landscape appeared in his view.

It was the color stained by Ghost Blood, already affecting the surrounding environment.

And in the middle of that crimson land lay an unfathomable Blood Pool.

This place was shown in the premonitions from the paranormal projector, and it might also be where Yang Jian would meet his end.

Although the ghost revival was scheduled for tomorrow, Yang Jian chose to arrive here a day early.

For him, it made no difference whether it was today or tomorrow, having already made his choice.

Yang Jian crossed the highway’s barrier and walked towards the crimson-stained land.

As he walked forward, puddles began to form at his feet.

Yang Jian casually tossed some miscellaneous items from his body into the puddles below him, leaving only a red spear. Even the strange rabbit charm on the spear was removed and thrown into the Ghost Lake.

He no longer needed anything.
