Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1171 - 1137: Interconnected Worlds

In the Nightmare World.

Yang Jian, leading a pack of evil hounds, arrived at the last area of the castle.

This was a spacious conference hall, and its decoration was different from other places, appearing more exquisite. On both sides, there were rows of weapons racks, and the weapons on the racks were all cold weapons: knives, swords, long spears, shields, and the like.

"Is no one here?"

Yang Jian looked around; there wasn't a single person, completely empty. But from the scene, it seemed there had been people here just moments ago because there were still a few drops of fresh blood on the ground, likely having dripped from Lok Sheng and his group.

"All areas of the castle have been searched; this is the last place. If still no one is found, then there's only one possibility left, which is that they have already escaped from the Nightmare World."

"If that's really the case, then it won't be easy to kill them."

Yang Jian entered the hall. He was observing the surroundings, trying to find any clues.

The evil hounds were also searching around, sniffing scents, attempting to track the enemy.

But there wasn't anywhere to hide in the hall, so Yang Jian didn't even need to search deliberately; with just a casual walk around, he could confirm there was nothing here.

However, out of caution, he decided to stay here and wait a while, to see if the hounds searching the castle would discover anything.

Meanwhile.

In a secret and massive private estate abroad.

Liu and Lok Sheng were awakened from their sleep in the middle of the night, drenched in cold sweat, hearts lingering in fear, and their minds still reminiscing about everything that happened in the Nightmare World.

"Something's happened."

They hurried out of their rooms and met up.

"We must quickly report this matter. Yang Jian is about to take over the Nightmare World," Lok Sheng said.

At this moment, the look of fear was gone from his face; his expression was indifferent, eyes numb, as if a lifeless corpse.

The previous emotions only appeared in the Nightmare World, but after returning to reality, they each possess supernatural abilities, suppressing their personal emotions to the minimum, even greatly reducing fear. Yet even so, their minds were still hard to settle down.

All because the impact Yang Jian brought to them in the Nightmare World was too overwhelming.

Especially those evil hounds chasing and biting them—just thinking about that scene made one feel despair.

"This Yang Jian is so terrifying even in the Nightmare World. We must come up with a way to deal with him, or with him around, our plan will likely be hard to succeed," Liu said, looking very uncomfortable.

"We initially thought pulling Yang Jian into the Nightmare World to turn him into an ordinary person would allow us to easily take him down, but now it seems we were naive."

The two left the room and quickly made their way toward a villa in the center of the estate.

On the way, they were discussing how to deal with Yang Jian, how to rescue Kelly from the Nightmare World.....

But as they passed by the fountain in front of the villa, the originally calm water surface suddenly began to stir eerily.

"Hm?" Lok Sheng, very alert, immediately noticed something amiss and turned to look at the pool.

But in the next moment, the pool suddenly reflected the image of an evil hound, identical to what they had seen in the Nightmare World.

"What?"

Liu also noticed the situation but had only glanced at it and hadn't yet reacted.

Suddenly.

The pool water exploded, and the reflection in the water lunged out.

It was an evil hound, which immediately pounced toward Lok Sheng, snapping at his head.

In the blink of an eye, Lok Sheng's neck was bitten through, and with a flick, his body was sent flying, leaving just a head held in the hound's mouth.

"Courting death." Seeing this scene, Liu was instantly furious.

In the dream, he was chased and bitten by this evil hound, and he couldn't bear being bitten by a dog even in reality.

But just as he was about to make a move, the evil hound in front of him began to fade, then suddenly disappeared from sight.

He struck at empty air, and was so angry he almost coughed up blood.

"Gone? How could it just disappear?" Liu searched around but found nothing.

"Forget it, don't look for it; that dog must have fled."

Lok Sheng said, now just a head, his body and head severed yet still alive.

Liu's face was somber, eager to directly go to Da'ao City to settle accounts with Yang Jian.

But reason told him that he couldn't beat Yang Jian in the dream, nor in the real world. Though Yang Jian was indeed despicable, he was undeniably powerful, a fact that had to be admitted.

"Today we suffered a major loss; instead of thinking about how to deal with Yang Jian, we should think about how to explain this situation," Liu went over and picked up Lok Sheng's head, then placed it on the headless body.

Immediately, red threads extended from Lok Sheng's neck, intertwining to sew the severed neck back together once more.

Once the stitching was completed, all the wounds on the neck disappeared.

Lok Sheng shook his neck, feeling oppressed: "You go explain to them, I don't want to handle this anymore. Besides, from now on, I never want to face that guy Yang Jian again. Let someone else deal with him, I almost died at his hands twice already. Three times is too much. I don't think I can be this lucky every time."

Liu said nothing, just glanced at the pool again, then turned and walked towards the villa within the manor without looking back.

The two of them suffered such a huge loss that they had lost all temper.

Although unwilling, a strange thought emerged involuntarily. It seemed like being able to survive Yang Jian's hands was already a very good outcome.

However, in the Nightmare World, Yang Jian was still wandering inside the castle.

This behavior made Kelly, who was hiding in a concealed secret room within the castle, tense up.

She thought Yang Jian stayed here to find her.

Even though Kelly was well hidden, almost impossible to find, this was not absolute. As long as the Evil Hounds were still patrolling outside, there was a possibility she would be discovered.

"Strange, really strange." Yang Jian was now suspicious.

"There must be a source in the Nightmare World, just like the Ghost Dream World. If the Nightmare World is not controlled, then a Source Ghost exists within the Nightmare World. If the Nightmare World is controlled, then a ghost tamer controlling the Nightmare World exists."

"In other words, as long as I'm still in the Nightmare World, no matter what this place becomes, there will always be a ghost or a person; it can never be nothing."

"So, where did the ghost tamer controlling this Nightmare World go?"

"Is he hiding?"

Yang Jian looked at the castle again: "If the ghost tamer is really trying to hide in such a big place, it would be quite difficult to find them. There might be various cellars, secret rooms... The best way to root them out would be to collapse the entire castle, searching inch by inch."

"That would take too much time. Who knows when that would be done."

Yang Jian felt having a pack of dogs tear down this castle was a bit troublesome. Even though it could be done, it would require a lot of time. He didn't want to stay in the Nightmare World waiting for the Evil Hounds to wreck the place. After all, two had already escaped, and they might be going to find help right now.

Here, he's an ordinary person. Although protected by Evil Hounds, there's still a risk of being taken out, so there's no need to waste time here.

"I need to leave a path to the Nightmare World that lets me come and go as I please, and then let the Evil Hounds search the castle slowly. I need to get out of here first."

He finally shook his head and strode towards the exit of the castle.

Hearing Yang Jian's footsteps gradually fade away, Kelly, hidden in the secret room, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But before she could relax.

In the corridor outside, the sounds of the Evil Hounds patrolling came again.

Yang Jian might have left, but the dogs stayed, and there were quite a lot of them.

"Damn guy," Kelly muttered to herself, not daring to show herself.

Very soon.

Yang Jian walked out of the castle and came to the courtyard outside.

At this time, a gap appeared in the tall walls of the castle. Outside that gap was a winding path that extended into the distance, reaching into a village.

The path was a manifestation of a supernatural phenomenon.

This indicated that the Evil Hounds invaded through here, and this path was the trace left by invading the Nightmare World, similar to footprints left by people walking on the road.

Yang Jian walked along this path out of the range of the castle, leaving the Nightmare World.

Moments later, he arrived at the entrance of a dead village, entering which meant successfully entering the Ghost Dream World.

Looking back.

Not far away, the castle still stood there, it hadn't disappeared.

"From now on, the Nightmare World and the Ghost Dream World are connected. As long as the Evil Hounds aren't driven out of the castle, that path will exist forever. They can also use that path to enter the Ghost Dream World, but I don't believe they have the guts," Yang Jian thought to himself.

This time, although it was a pity not to have found the source of the Nightmare World, the opportunity had been seized. With a little time, the Evil Hounds would bite that guy to death sooner or later.

With this thought, Yang Jian's body rapidly disappeared.

He left the dream, waking up.

The awakened Yang Jian was still in Da'ao City, within Lok Sheng's private villa. He was lying on the sofa, as if he had been asleep for a long time; his body was somewhat stiff.

But a careful look at the time.

Only two hours had passed.

It was now midnight, twelve o'clock.

However, Yang Jian wasn't in a hurry to leave. His eyes moved slightly, the Ghost Shadow behind him was restless, and he was considering whether to continue his previous actions.

Finding Lok Sheng's medium, to chop that guy with a Firewood Knife.

Of course, besides Lok Sheng's medium, Yang Jian hoped to find other people's mediums because Lok Sheng was already exposed, while some potential enemies hadn't been exposed. Those people were the ones he should pay more attention to.
