Mysterious Revival - Chapter 1571 - 1534: The Unearthed Grave

Sun Rui?

Who is Sun Rui? Who is called Sun Rui?

In the first-floor lobby of the Ghost Post Office, many people glanced around, discussing among themselves to figure out who was Sun Rui.

After looking around, they realized there was no one named Sun Rui here.

Some speculated that this Sun Rui might have already died in a supernatural event, and Yang Jian was too late now.

Others found it strange, because the man in front of them didn’t seem to have been dragged in by supernatural power; he seemed to be looking for someone, just in the wrong place, as there was no Sun Rui here.

However, at this moment.

A door suddenly appeared on the wall of the first-floor lobby, and then a man with a cane, walking with a limp, emerged from behind the door. Behind the door was another hidden space filled with living facilities like sofas, a wine cabinet, a bar, and, remarkably, a gigantic grave soil.

This scene shocked many people in the first-floor lobby.

Because they had explored this place many times, and were 100% sure there were no other places apart from the lobby on the first floor. They never thought another world was hidden just behind the wall.

“Captain Yang, long time no see. I was wondering when Captain Yang would come for a visit, and here you are. But this isn’t the place to talk; may we sit inside?” Sun Rui smiled and invited Yang Jian to the room behind him.

“Alright.” Yang Jian did not refuse and strode over.

Soon, the two left the first-floor lobby and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

After they vanished, the door was gone too, leaving just a bare wall.

“There are so many secrets here that we don’t know. It’s incredible that a place like this is hidden within the first-floor lobby.”

“Who is Sun Rui? He seems to have been here a long time. Maybe he knows more about this Hell Apartment than anyone else. We might learn something if we find him.”

“Don’t be naive. Whether it’s Sun Rui or that person referred to as Captain Yang who just came in, they are extremely dangerous. They’re undoubtedly extraordinary ghost tamers, and we wouldn’t even know how we died if we offended them.”

People in the lobby began to discuss among themselves, but none of them belonged to the supernatural circle, nor did they have the necessary intelligence to ever uncover the secrets of the Ghost Post Office.

At this moment, Yang Jian and Sun Rui walked into another lobby.

This was also the first-floor of the Ghost Post Office, and its layout was identical to the outside, only the arrangement was slightly different.

“Please, have a seat, Captain Yang.” Sun Rui smiled, gesturing.

“Have you reactivated the Ghost Post Office?” Yang Jian asked bluntly before sitting down.

Sun Rui slowly approached with a bottle of coke, placing the drink in front of Yang Jian, then said: “Captain Yang, this era needs hands, lots of them. I’ve formulated new game rules, hoping to cultivate a batch of ghost tamers belonging to the Ghost Post Office. If successful, I will compel them to tackle supernatural events, perhaps thereby changing this era.”

“I observed outside; you’ve forcibly brought in quite a few people. Seems like you plan to win by sheer numbers. No wonder there haven’t been supernatural events in Dahan City, yet there are so few residents—it’s your doing. After all, a place with frequent mass disappearances would cause massive panic.” Yang Jian, unreserved, took a sip of the coke.

“No, I’m not sending them to participate in supernatural events as novices. Every newcomer here will undergo a period of training, and the portraits of the Fifth Floor Messenger serve as the best mentors,” Sun Rui said seriously. “Apart from the Ghost Post Office, I’m planning to turn this place into a training base.”

“The experiences shared by the old generation of messengers, plus my enforcement of their participation in supernatural events to seek survival, combined with experience and practice, along with survival of the fittest, forms a pool of qualified ghost tamer candidates.”

“This plan was a result of discussions with the Fifth Floor Messengers. I believe, at this stage, this plan is perfect. Although doing so may cost some lives, temporary sacrifices are necessary. Just like us back then, it’s now time for people of this era to make sacrifices.”

“Without sacrifice, there is no future, Captain Yang. I know my actions may seem cold-blooded and brutal, but compared to a hopeless future, I believe today’s sacrifices are worth it.”

Sun Rui’s tone was firm, convinced that he was on the right path.

“Nice plan, transforming the Ghost Post Office into a training base for ghost tamers, led by portraits of the Fifth Floor Messenger. It can indeed avert many detours, but how do you ensure they become ghost tamers? You know controlling fierce ghosts is unpredictable.” Yang Jian asked.

Sun Rui said: “Throughout the survival tasks, experiences of narrowly escaping fierce ghosts, they will grasp every opportunity, desperately wanting to acquire supernatural power. I only need to create some opportunities for them. You know, in this era, supernatural incidents are endless, and many fierce ghosts in these incidents can be controlled. It’s just that fear causes many to miss the chance to become ghost tamers.”

Yang Jian said: “Without an accident, your plan could indeed quickly nurture a group of ghost tamers as you wish. But compared to this era’s needs, such a force is still like a drop in the bucket, because once they become ghost tamers, they certainly won’t willingly be controlled by the Ghost Post Office, potentially leading to internal strife.”

“In my current state, I can’t ask for much; at least, I’ve made every effort,” Sun Rui said calmly.

“True, since you’re already doing it, I won’t stop you. Let’s hope as you said, these sacrifices today are worth it compared to the future.” Yang Jian did not intervene in Sun Rui’s plan.

Then he turned to the huge old mound beside him.

“Are Wei Jing and Feng Quan still lying in there?”

“There’s been no sign of life; I suspect they are dead,” Sun Rui said. “For a ghost tamer like you, Captain Yang, you only lay dormant for half a year. They’ve been at rest longer than you, so I judge their survival chances as slim. However, harboring a shred of hope, I’ve yet to disrupt this mound.”

“They may not necessarily be dead, perhaps just caught in a subtle balance needing some external force to break,” Yang Jian said.

“Dig them up, while I’m still here today.”

Sun Rui’s eyes showed surprise: “If they’re still alive, what we’re about to do might kill them both.”

“Then let them die. If they cannot contribute to this era, waking up after years or decades has no meaning. Moreover, enough time has been given to them,” Yang Jian stood up, adamant.

Sun Rui finally nodded: “Understood.”

This era lacked people so much that they were led to this decision to exhume today.

“If a ghost revives, I’ll resolve it.” Red water began to seep under Yang Jian’s feet, followed by the slow emergence of his familiar long spear from the water.

“After all, it’s a ghost envoy, so one must be careful.” Sun Rui also stood up, preparing for the exhumation.

He didn’t need to dig personally, only needed to control the Ghost Post Office to remove the grave soil atop this old mound.

As the ground began to sink, the surrounding area began to tremble.

The protruding mound rapidly collapsed, with pieces of old grave soil disappearing from sight.

In just a moment, the mound was reduced to a small heap of soil.

Amidst the remaining dirt, two bodies gradually revealed themselves, but both faces were still covered in soil. Based on their attire and height, the outermost body seemed to be Feng Quan, while the innermost body was codename Ghost Envoy Wei Jing.

Yet, these two bodies showed no signs of activity, appearing as if in a deep slumber.

Remarkably, despite being buried for over half a year, neither body showed any signs of decay.

Yang Jian now strode over and reached out to brush away the soil covering their faces.

“How are they, Captain Yang?” Sun Rui curiously asked.

“No signs of life, but observation is needed. Some ghost tamers who become aberrant naturally exhibit no vital signs, requiring the body’s awakening to discern if they’re human or ghost.” Yang Jian said.
