Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1568 - 1531: Journey
The eerie Ghost Flame burns in the sealed-off area, igniting everything here.
Within the blaze, the bodies tainted by the supernatural are swiftly reduced to ashes without a trace left, and the spreading Ghost Flame also drives out the hidden vengeful spirits within the city, finally consuming them in firelight.
Yang Jian strides into an abandoned building.
The building is still burning because there are too many stored corpses, although most of them turn to ashes swiftly, some of them cannot be destroyed despite incessant burning.
Quickly.
Yang Jian finds a scorched corpse in an inconspicuous corner of the building.
This corpse appears skinny, curled up into a ball, its face contorted, appearing grim and terrifying. At this moment, faint green flames emerge from its eye sockets, mouth, suggesting there’s Ghost Flame still burning inside its body.
Even burnt to this state, the corpse remains undamaged.
Clearly, this isn’t an ordinary corpse, it’s a ghost, only unable to act and kill under the burning Ghost Flame, lying helplessly on the ground.
Yang Jian reaches out, picks up the scorched corpse, and turns to leave.
It doesn’t take much effort, the supernatural event in this area is resolved, but this is only one place among others, Dashan City has other supernatural zones, totaling three locations, this area being the most ferocious and impactful.
Yang Jian visits two other sealed-off areas, and when he emerges, there are two more scorched corpses at his feet, although seemingly similar, they vary greatly in danger, but in front of Yang Jian, they are all the same.
“Solved, now the supernatural in this city is completely calmed, but it’s unknown how long this peace will last after this cleanup.”
With this thought, he throws the three scorched corpses into the Ghost Lake below.
However, the water of Ghost Lake no longer appears pitch-black, instead, it turns crimson like blood. This seems to be due to Yang Jian managing Ghost Blood, causing the Ghost Lake to be stained red, and the stained Ghost Lake appears more terrifying than before; the sinking ghosts are not only restricted by the lake but also influenced by Ghost Blood.
This fusion among supernatural elements forms Yang Jian’s unique supernatural force… Blood Lake.
The formation of Blood Lake signifies the birth of an advanced S-level supernatural power, especially when coupled with the ghost bus and the ability to open the Ninth Layer of the Ghost Eye.
Now, Yang Jian himself is unaware of the level he has reached.
He has no comparison.
Perhaps only those vanished ghost handlers from the Republic era are qualified to measure him.
Eventually, the raging Ghost Flame has its time to extinguish.
As daylight breaks, the Ghost Flame in Dashan City starts to dissipate.
Yang Jian’s Ghost Eye once more scans the entire city, confirming no residual supernatural remains, during which he discovers a hidden ghost handler within the city, a newcomer whose supernatural power is weak—uncertain whether this newbie will have a chance to grow.
Yang Jian has no intention of recruiting new people, nor does he have the habit of eliminating them, he acts as if he hasn’t seen anything and leaves the city.
He wishes to go somewhere further from Dachang City.
Quickly.
Yang Jian passes through Xiaochun City.
He remembers this city well, recalling when he investigated the missing Xiaochun City official, it was here that he boarded the supernatural bus, heading down an irreversible path, later encountering the terrifying Dried Corpse Bride and barely surviving the supernatural stand to return to reality.
Reflecting on past experiences vividly.
However, Xiaochun City doesn’t fare well either, facing supernatural occurrences, exacerbated by its small size compared to Dashan City, rendering Xiaochun City severely affected—even during the day, it’s utterly deserted with streets void of pedestrians or vehicles.
The entire city is shrouded in deathly silence.
Yang Jian bathes in the sunlight, walking on deserted streets, his Ghost Eye surreptitiously surveying, understanding everything about the city.
“I see, over half of this city’s area is sealed off, marked by caution tapes and warnings, leaving only the new district unaffected by the supernatural, though its residents are few, seldom venturing out even in daylight.”
“It seems the ghost in this city tends to wander, otherwise such vast warning zones wouldn’t be necessary.”
“Wandering ghosts pose greater threats to ordinary people than those that remain in one place.”
Yang Jian’s form gradually vanishes as he enters an old district in Xiaochun City.
Here, he senses a supernatural presence.
This implies the real ghost is nearby.
Too lazy to search, he uses a familiar tactic, lighting all the nearby apartment buildings on fire.
Soon, flames burst from the old residential buildings.
Among the firelight, a bizarre figure dashes out, uttering strange sounds as it runs, indicating it’s suffering under the burning Ghost Flame.
“That’s all you’ve got.” Yang Jian remarks, expressionless, as he blocks the vengeful spirit’s path, then raises a hand for a strike.
Smack!
A sound echoes as the ghost driven out by Ghost Flame is instantly slapped away, rolling multiple times on the ground before laying motionless like a dead body.
Keep in mind Yang Jian’s slap equates to being hit by a supernatural bus, such ghosts can’t withstand this.
“Solved.”
Afterward, Yang Jian uses Blood Lake’s supernatural force to sink the corpse within.
With that done, the supernatural occurrences in Xiaochun City vanish completely.
Yet, this sealed-off area will likely remain uninhabited for a long time, despite the absence of ghosts.
“Off to other places, then.”
Yang Jian silently leaves the city, heading to the next location.
He lacks a specific direction, nor has he sequenced a planned route, opting to wander everywhere possible domestically, to fully grasp the current national situation as quickly as possible within days.
For foreign lands… best not to venture.
In this time, word of his return gradually spreads within the supernatural circle.
“Has Yang Jian woken up? Is this true? Is the source reliable?”
Shangtong Tower in Dachang City.
Tong Qian receives this delightful news early in the morning.
“No mistake, it’s what Li Yang said, last night Yang Jian awoke, then headed to Guanjiang Residential Complex, catching up with Li Yang, Huang Ziya, and Wang Yong in coffins, shortly after Wang Shanshan conveyed this vital information to me.” Liu Xiaoyu says earnestly.
“That’s great!” Tong Qian beams: “He’s finally awake, we can’t be without him at this crucial time.”
“Indeed, upon hearing of Yang Jian’s return, headquarters disseminated this crucial news immediately, now it’s all about calming minds. Rest assured, the supernatural circle will know by today.” Liu Xiaoyu says.
Tong Qian asks again: “Since Yang Jian is back, where is he now?”
“Not sure, from what Li Yang said, Yang Jian plans on touring around, viewing the current situation himself, this might take ten days or half a month, but that’s insignificant, we can wait this bit of time, once Yang Jian appears, everything is manageable.”
Liu Xiaoyu replies.
“True.” Tong Qian nods.
With headquarters intentionally escalating news, information about Yang Jian’s appearance spreads quickly.
Immediately, the supernatural forums buzz with discussions.
“Yang Jian has returned? The legendary ghost eye Yang Jian, headquarters’ Enforcement Captain? I thought he was dead.” A curious ghost handler muses.
“Dead, not at all, don’t spread misinformation. He was merely missing for half a year, there was never concrete news claiming Yang Jian was dead. His appearance now might trigger major unrest in the supernatural circle; watch closely everyone.”
“Just an outdated old man, why bother discussing him?” some disdainfully remark.
Prompting a frequent forum-goer to retaliate: “Ignorant child, how long have you been a ghost handler, unable to understand the weight of headquarters’ ghost-eye Yang Jian? With rampant supernatural incidents causing chaos, numerous await Yang Jian to lead. If unaware of who Yang Jian is, search the site’s information, I’m tired of wasting words here with you.”
“Apparently only the old-timers in the circle understand Yang Jian’s threat, in merely half a year’s time he’s almost been forgotten.” others ponder, subtly showing their senior identity.
The ongoing discussion kindles curiosity among many newcomers in the supernatural sphere about Yang Jian’s existence, prompting them to start gathering information.
Though the supernatural website may lack vital information, key events and basic details are disclosed, making it easy to search.
