Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1063 1029: The Arm That Was Attached

"Yo, isn't that Xiao Yang? You're back, huh? Finished your business so quickly. Hey, why are you feeling so cold? Bet you got taken out again."

"Sure enough, without my Daddy Xiong's help, you'd easily suffer outside, but don't worry, I won't spread the word about your mishaps. With the internet so developed, if it got out, it'd harm your reputation. I'll keep it a secret for you."

When Yang Jian returned to Guanjiang Residential Complex in the afternoon, he happened to run into Xiong Wenwen, who was strolling around the complex.

This little rascal started off with a wave of mockery.

"You know, if it were someone else talking to me like this, the grass on their grave would've grown this high by now." Yang Jian gestured, roughly the same height as Xiong Wenwen.

"Heh, you think I scare easily? My Daddy Xiong has seen all kinds of scenes. Besides, if you feel cold, what does that have to do with me?" Xiong Wenwen said with a disdainful look.

Yang Jian said, "You must've finished your homework today; otherwise, you wouldn't dare speak so boldly."

"Isn't it because of your great deeds, insisting my mom give me more homework?" Xiong Wenwen said irritably.

Yang Jian said, "I don't want to deal with you. I'm heading back."

"Wait, Xiao Yang, don't go yet." Xiong Wenwen ran over, "Didn't you promise me something that you haven't done yet?"

"What did I promise you?" Yang Jian asked with a bit of doubt.

Xiong Wenwen immediately said, "Before you took me to the supernatural event with the black umbrella, what did you say? You promised after things were done, you'd go on a date with my mom. Are you trying to renege?"

"Oh, I remember now, there was indeed such a thing. But why are you, a kid, so anxious about it? We'll talk about it later." Yang Jian realized indeed there was such a matter.

However, having just escaped the Ghost Post Office incident, he wasn't in the mood to mess around with Xiong Wenwen.

"Trying to leave?"

Seeing Yang Jian leaving, Xiong Wenwen immediately blocked him, "Ghost knows where you'd run off next time. I think it should be now, simply today, yes, today. Settled, I'll go notify my mom."

But before Yang Jian could speak, this rascal quickly ran off.

"Seems like I promised Liu Xiaoyu dinner tonight?" Yang Jian thought, "If it doesn't work out, I'll invite them all together, save the trouble of socializing with each one."

Hmm.

This idea isn't bad, solving two troublesome matters at once.

Returning home.

Since Zhang Liqin was still at the company, the house was empty. Jiang Yan was still in her hometown building a house, constructing a safe house, and wouldn't be returning to Dachang City quickly.

Yang Jian took a shower at home, rested for a bit, and then went to the safe house to place the shovel he brought back, to avoid leaving it around and causing any accidents.

"The Ghost Cabinet is still there."

When he returned to his room to take a break, he noticed the red Ghost Cabinet still sitting in the corner of his room through the Ghost Eye's vision, seemingly unmoved.

But the last deal had already ended.

Yang Jian hadn't made a new request, so he wasn't cursed by the Ghost Cabinet. Yet, the cabinet continued to follow him, inescapable.

But he was used to it.

He temporarily ignored this matter.

Meanwhile.

In the villas of Guanjiang Residential Complex.

Li Yang had just returned from the company to the complex, but his already grim face turned even worse. He felt a loss of self-control, painfully collapsing to the ground as if some Supernatural Power inside him was controlling him, dragging him along the floor.

In the end, he was forcibly pulled into a room.

"Bang!"

The door shuddered and slammed shut violently.

However, Li Yang, dragged into the room, was not well. His body bizarrely stuck to the door, motionless, as if glued there.

"The ghost is reviving..." Li Yang felt the agony of being corroded.

The pain was terrifying. His body no longer belonged to him, being consumed bit by bit by something alien, the pain seeping into his bones.

Clearly.

Li Yang had controlled a ghost to enter the Ghost Post Office, and later revived another ghost to maintain a certain balance. But on the fifth floor of the post office, he fought with Wang Yong, and again on the first floor, he blocked a ghost invading the post office for a while, and eventually failed, as the ghost broke in.

All things considered, he had used his Supernatural Power excessively, which caused the balance he had by controlling two ghosts to break again shortly after.

Li Yang struggled to detach from the door, but in no time, another Supernatural Power pulled him back, sticking him to the door again.

Rotting marks began to appear on his legs, arms, and face, exuding a stench of decay all over his body.

All the rotting marks connected together, vaguely forming a humanoid silhouette.

It was a ghost, hidden within his body.

But that's not all.

Li Yang's clothes were torn apart, and beneath his skin, a human face struggled, its mouth open, as if trying to break free.

That was the second fierce ghost.

But clearly, this fierce ghost could not stop the body's decay from continuing, and the second ghost was suppressed.

The supernatural traces of the Door-blocking Ghost continued to spread.

"I thought this time the ghost resurrection wouldn't happen so quickly, at least it would take a month or so, but now it seems I miscalculated. This situation mostly happened because of some suppression in the Ghost Post Office. Now that the Ghost Post Office is completely gone, that suppression has failed, and my condition is deteriorating rapidly."

Li Yang was drenched in cold sweat, feeling as if he was about to completely rot away.

Moreover, the ghost struggling beneath the skin of his chest seemed to be getting weaker, unable to fight against the Door-blocking Ghost.

Once it's completely suppressed.

The balance would completely fail, and the fierce ghost would resurrect, turning the room into the same one where the Door-blocking Ghost once resided, and he would just be a trapped soul, with even his body controlled by the fierce ghost.

"I need to harness a third ghost to overcome this issue." Li Yang struggled to move one arm and took out a strange limb from his clothing.

It was a withered, old arm.

The arm was just a vessel.

What was truly terrifying was that the arm hid a fierce ghost inside, which Yang Jian had dubbed the Door-Opening Ghost.

Although this elderly arm had been quiet during its time away from the post office, it showed signs of resurrection and activity. At this moment, as soon as it was taken out, the dead arm suddenly grabbed Li Yang's wrist, and he couldn't break free.

Yet, after being grabbed by this eerie arm, Li Yang's body regained its ability to move, no longer stuck to the door.

A supernatural force countered the resurrection of the Door-blocking Ghost, giving him a moment to catch his breath.

"The Captain's judgment wasn't wrong. The opportunity to harness the third ghost lies in this arm. This arm is the key to unlocking doors; the Door-blocking Ghost blocks a door entirely; the conflicting rules can form some kind of balance. With luck, it can even make the fierce ghost freeze." Li Yang was both startled and delighted at this moment.

Even though he was terrified, fearing losing control and dying here, he was thrilled that if he could just get through this hurdle, he would become one of the top ghost handlers, and for a considerable time, wouldn't have to worry about ghost resurrection issues.

At the moment when half his body could move, he seized the opportunity, breaking free from the door's clutches, dashing into the room, and finding an ordinary fruit knife.

As soon as he grasped the knife, the supernatural force of the Door-blocking Ghost dragged him back, pinning him to the door again.

Li Yang glanced at the knife in his hand and then at the arm pinned to the door, unable to move. Gritting his teeth, he swung the knife, cutting into the arm.

Sweat poured down as his whole body trembled.

Bit by bit, he painfully dismembered his arm with the knife.

The blood pooling in the room was enough to make someone faint from shock, yet Li Yang remained conscious, on the edge of ghost resurrection. The supernatural forces kept him alive and clear-headed.

After discarding the blood-soaked arm, Li Yang took needle and thread and sewed the strange, withered arm onto his wound.

The moment the eerie arm touched him, even with just a few stitches, he felt another supernatural force creeping into his body.

The terrifying supernatural power of the Door-Opening Ghost manifested.

This ghost was equally terrifying, unable to be controlled in the normal way. If an ordinary person dared to directly replace an arm with this, they would die instantly.

But Li Yang did not, because the Door-blocking Ghost was battling this deadly curse of the Door-Opening Ghost.

Supernatural against supernatural.

This was the key to surviving.

The woman's blurred face beneath the skin on Li Yang's chest reappeared, showing that during the supernatural struggle, the third ghost emerged without suppression.

The outline of the woman beneath his skin also struggled to tear Li Yang's body apart.

If successful, Li Yang might not survive long enough for the new balance to complete before dying.

This was the terrifying aspect of harnessing a third ghost; not only did one have to balance two ghosts, but a third one had to be managed as well.

"Ah!"

A wail echoed endlessly from the room, sending shivers down one's spine.

But the villa area was quite spread out, with few occupants nearby. Moreover, the supernatural power of the Door-blocking Ghost only let fragments of the sound escape, and it was so faint that no one noticed anything unusual.

Even Yang Jian had no idea that at this moment, Li Yang was suffering from a ghost resurrection.

So Li Yang had to endure everything on his own.

Thankfully, Yang Jian had previously pointed him in a direction; otherwise, in such a critical scenario, Li Yang might have inexplicably died alone in the room, discovered only a day or two later, when the body had decomposed, making any form of rescue impossible.

But now, though Li Yang was wailing, he was still alive, struggling on the brink of death, and with the Door-Opening Ghost at his command, he stood a chance of overcoming the ghost resurrection and surviving.

Time passed bit by bit.

The wailing in the room did not cease, but a new balance was slowly forming.
