Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1186 - 1152: Ash at the Door

The few people in the room were silent at this moment; Yang Jian's reasoning made them feel an almost suffocating despair.

If what Yang Jian said was true, then they would never be able to leave here in their lifetime, because the moment they left, they would die, and after dying, they would resurrect here, losing all their memories and starting anew.

Endlessly, infinitely.

They even doubted in their hearts whether they had ever really walked out of the Caesar Grand Hotel before.

But it's useless.

As long as you die once, everything starts over, and all doubts and speculations disappear.

"It seems you have good acceptance abilities; you're very clear about your current situation already, but whether my guess is true or not, it soon can be verified." Yang Jian glanced at these people again.

"Are you also seeking the door that can let you leave here?" Zhu Jian asked seriously.

Yang Jian said, "I can look for it incidentally, but after I find that door, I don't need to leave through it but will find a way to seal it completely, preventing any supernatural entity from escaping here."

"If you do that, then what about us?" Dong Yulan immediately said, "We still need that door."

Yang Jian continued, "So this is your last chance; after finding that door, you must make the corresponding choice, whether to leave through that door or choose to stay inside the Caesar Grand Hotel."

"Isn't that obvious; of course, it's to leave here." Zhu Jian said.

Dong Yulan said, "Zhu Jian, you misunderstood his meaning. He wants us to walk through that door, essentially gambling on whether we will die after leaving here. We only have this one chance, regardless of the result, because he will completely seal that door in the end. Even if we have the chance to dispel the curse of endless resurrection in the future, to escape here, we still won't be able to leave."

"So you're going to kill our last hope?" Ah Nan looked at him and said.

"Hope?" Yang Jian laughed coldly.

"What hope do you have? Trapped here for decades with no hope, will your hope be killed just because I seal the door? I must seal the supernatural entities; otherwise, many people outside will die. Your lives are not that important in my eyes."

"Of course, if you think anything I'm doing is wrong, you can start now and kill the three of us here. Once we die, naturally, we won't interfere with you anymore."

"After all, decisions are always made by the living."

After saying this, he glanced at them, indicating that they could take action.

Ah Nan, Zhu Jian, and Dong Yulan frowned, carrying a few shares of displeasure and annoyance in their gazes towards Yang Jian.

This person was truly too arrogant, making people feel very uncomfortable.

"The one with the stronger fist, the one with the decisional power, this is very fair." Wang Genquan, resembling an old farmer, spoke at this moment, surprisingly agreeing with Yang Jian.

"What do you mean? You think what he is doing is right?" Zhu Jian said.

Wang Genquan smiled slightly: "You think he is wrong because you self-assess yourself lesser than him, contemplating from a weakling's perspective. If you feel you are better than him, then his words are nonsense, but indeed, for the outside safety, sealing this supernatural place is the right decision."

"If we truly had the ability, we would have left here long ago; decades stuck here have made continued existence without escaping meaningless."

"Sixty years without success, then a hundred years, if a hundred years aren't enough, then two hundred years, time can always create miracles." Zhu Jian said.

Wang Genquan said, "What meaning does that have? I might go out now and still meet my grandson, but if I go out after a hundred years, haha, all my family might have died, none that recognize me, what am I then? Perhaps we even thought of suicide before, but because dying and losing memory to resurrect kept the belief to continue living."

"Not being able to leave means staying here forever; do you want to stay here forever and accompany those fierce ghosts?" Zhu Jian said.

"Reality is always cruel; many times, it's not about what you want, but what we can do." Wang Genquan said.

He seemed unimposing but spoke with reason.

Dong Yulan said at this moment: "Alright, alright, let's not continue with this topic; Yang Jian, you came from outside into here, now aiming to find that door to seal the supernatural entities, so, at least now our goals are aligned, we can collaborate and jointly seek the door to leave; what do you think?"

"Cooperation is certainly not an issue, but there is a premise; I need all the intelligence from you."

Yang Jian calmly said, "I need to understand everything here, and you should not try to hide anything, because I'm temporarily not willing to use coercion to obtain your memories."

The Ghost Shadow behind him moved slightly, capable of eroding any person here, but he restrained this behavior.

Because doing so meant taking action, and the outcome once action started was unpredictable.

Even though he could win, Yang Jian didn't hope for accidents to occur.

"Certainly, the situation here can be told to you, as this information holds no value for us; once we die, this information will be lost. However, we don't know much; despite having lived here for a long time, each time is a new beginning, to know everything unless you delve into here and find where we recorded the information." This chapter first appeared on *.

Dong Yulan agreed, but she also indicated that the information she held wasn't much.

"Room 102?" Tong Qian asked.

"The location that Ah Nan recorded was in Room 102, but the place I recorded wasn't there. My Resurrection room was 501, the room I recorded was 499. If you can find that room, you can go inside; all the information I've left is there. This time, my luck wasn't good, and I didn't enter Room 499," Dong Yulan said.

Tong Qian asked, "Then how do you make sure you left information in that room?"

"I saw reminders of the information I left in other places."

Dong Yulan said, "No one would be foolish enough to leave clues in only one place. I left information reminders in various rooms to make it easier to find past experiences. Of course, this approach isn't just mine; others do the same."

"I see." Tong Qian nodded, indicating understanding.

Everyone leaves information in each room, but the most important, comprehensive information is only left closest to their Resurrection room.

It's a gamble.

As long as you successfully enter the information room after Resurrection, you can obtain all the accumulated information of decades, understand all experiences directly. Of course, some important information will be saved separately to increase the survival chances after each Resurrection.

"Since that's the case, let's check the information rooms you've recorded before searching for the door," Yang Jian stood up at this moment.

He wanted to see what these people had recorded over the years.

"If you're going back, we can't accompany you to certain death," Zhu Jian said. "We barely got out, arrived at the last room, and going back now would be a waste."

"You're right," Dong Yulan nodded.

This time, fortune favored them; everyone gathered in the last room, just one step away from finding the door to leave.

Yang Jian's suggestion of going back was certainly unacceptable.

"It's no matter; you all can stay here," Yang Jian didn't insist on them leaving together with him.

Li Yang reminded, "Captain, what if the information they gave is false and we go on a wild goose chase?"

"I assure you what I'm saying is true. If you doubt it, randomly go into some rooms to find a hint. I guarantee you'll discover something," Dong Yulan immediately said. "Zhu Jian's Resurrection room was 301, the recording room was 300, Wang Genquan's Resurrection room was 801, the recording room was 600."

"I'm telling you the Resurrection and recording rooms for myself and Ah Nan, totaling four people's rooms."

"Why did you record your information in Room 600?" Li Yang asked.

Wang Genquan said, "Because my room is too deep within, I didn't want to return that far to record information. I could only choose a closer location."

"Makes sense," Li Yang nodded, thinking this explanation made sense.

"Captain, if what they're saying is true, our best choice is Room 102 as it should be the closest to us. Other rooms are too far away."

Ah Nan said, "Not necessarily. The rooms inside are like a maze; a higher number doesn't necessarily mean deeper. Sometimes finding the correct path, even Room 701 can be easily exited. If memory hadn't been lost with each Resurrection, we could have already figured out a safe and correct route."

"Let's talk later. I'm starting out now," Yang Jian gestured, not wanting to waste time, intending to act immediately.

"Then good luck to you," Dong Yulan said.

Zhu Jian remarked, "Inside is extremely perilous, don't blame us if someone dies unexpectedly."

Yang Jian didn't respond, merely took Li Yang and Tong Qian to head out again.

However, just as they reached the door, he stopped and looked down.

Paper ashes unknown to them swirled in from the door crack, blown in by the wind, but eerily there was no sign of wind beneath his feet.

"Not good." At this sight, others' faces suddenly changed.

"Yang Jian, wait before you go out; there's a ghost outside," Dong Yulan urgently reminded.

Wang Genquan added, "Paper ash is special; placed at the door as a warning. If a ghost passes outside, the paper ash will be affected and spread. We use this method to determine if the corridor outside is safe. The blood smeared at the door is also special; it isolates the ghost's senses, preventing it from discovering us inside the room..."

Yet, before he finished speaking, the door suddenly shook violently, as if something outside wanted to open it and enter.

"What did you just say? A ghost wouldn't notice?" Yang Jian turned back and glanced at him.
