Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1195 - 1161: Xiang Lan's Resurrection

Some evidence suggests that Xiang Lan is very likely not dead yet.

Even though she is left with only a head and has been invaded by a fierce ghost, Yang Jian judged that her consciousness should still be present, not entirely deceased, which is why she hasn't resurrected in this room.

However, all of this is speculation, and whether it's correct will require a trial.

"Reviving this head is very risky; maybe the one who wakes up won't be Xiang Lan but a ghost," Tong Qian said. "We need to be prepared to handle it."

"Don't worry, if there's something abnormal, I'll nail her directly," Yang Jian replied.

Tong Qian nodded, "In that case, let's start immediately. We've already wasted a lot of time, and if we delay any longer, the fierce ghost might escape from Caesar Grand Hotel. I can't trust this place to really be sealed off by just one room."

Yang Jian didn't say much and immediately took action.

The supernatural power of the Deceiving Ghost appeared.

Accompanied by a chilling aura gathering, an illusory headless body gradually presented itself in front of them. This body was not real, but as the boundary between illusion and reality was broken by the supernatural power,

Illusion became reality.

Reality was altered.

A real headless corpse appeared.

At this moment, the Ghost Shadow behind Yang Jian stood up, took Xiang Lan's Dead Man's Head, and attached it to the neck of the headless body.

Simply placing it on was enough, and the neck and head immediately joined seamlessly, with no visible scars.

The basic ability of the Ghost Shadow itself is body assembly; attaching a head is almost effortlessly easy.

And instead of retreating, the Ghost Shadow that attached the head covered the body, then gradually immersed itself into Xiang Lan's body like a dense fog.

Yang Jian intended to use the Ghost Shadow's invasion ability to find the supernatural power residing in Xiang Lan's head and extract it.

Only in this way, Xiang Lan's consciousness might return.

With the invasion of the Ghost Shadow, Yang Jian sensed that there were two supernatural forces hidden in Xiang Lan's Dead Man's Head. One was quite strong and dominant, while the other was suppressed, feeling like it had become part of a jigsaw puzzle.

"Xiang Lan's head came from that ghost playing the piano, and that piano is a supernatural object, so the piano and the ghost playing it are separate. The ghost acquired Xiang Lan's head, which is why it plays the piano and releases curses..."

As Yang Jian analyzed, the Ghost Shadow had already invaded Xiang Lan's head.

Immediately.

The addition of new supernatural force broke some balance in an instant.

In Yang Jian's mind, a scene appeared immediately.

In the scene, he was in a special room where an old piano was placed, but the piano was blurry and indistinct, and in front of the piano stood a gloomy figure. That person's body was blurry, only the head was clear.

But that head didn't look like Xiang Lan's; it was a head that had dried for a long time, like a mummy.

Yet even so, the mummy-like head's eyes still emitted an eerie light, as if two eyeballs were watching the intruding Ghost Shadow.

"Because it was dismembered, the ghost couldn't fully present its true form, leaving only a head," Yang Jian understood what was going on.

He was not afraid.

The Ghost Shadow approached, but the ghost's form seemed affected, starting to distort and unable to maintain its previous shape.

It's impossible for a fierce ghost's head to compete with a complete Ghost Shadow.

Soon.

The form of the fierce ghost gradually dissipated, leaving only a dried head remaining. However, under the Ghost Shadow's suppression, that head fell into a slumber, unable to open its eyes or wake up.

With the suppression of the fierce ghost's lingering supernatural force, a consciousness began to gradually revive.

"Yang Jian, it's working. She's about to wake up," Tong Qian said.

At this moment.

Xiang Lan's eyelids fluttered slightly, and her face showed a few expressions of pain, as if she had been through immense torture, but she was gradually waking up.

Li Yang watched Xiang Lan intently, staying alert.

After all, Yang Jian mentioned earlier that the one who wakes might not be Xiang Lan himself, but possibly a revived fierce ghost.

However, this time, luck wasn't that bad.

Soon.

Xiang Lan opened her eyes, and in her gaze was a touch of numbness and despair, as if she had completely lost hope in the world.

But gradually, she regained some spirit.

Xiang Lan seemed a bit surprised and slightly puzzled because she saw several unfamiliar people around her.

"Who are you... did you save me?" Xiang Lan quickly calmed down, scrutinizing the people around her and finally resting her gaze on Yang Jian.

She recognized him; she had met him once before.

"Do you know me?" Yang Jian stared at Xiang Lan, noticing her gaze was somewhat different.

Xiang Lan said, "We've met here before, have you forgotten?"

"That was a year ago, but it's impossible for your memory to be preserved for a year," Yang Jian replied.

"It seems you're quite familiar with this place. You're right. When I first saw you, I had only been conscious here for a short while, searching for a way out. I thought I found hope, but it turned out to be despair," Xiang Lan said.

Yang Jian continued, "From your words, does that mean you haven't died since the last time, so your memory remained intact?"

"That seems impossible. Living here for over a year without dying is practically unattainable," Tong Qian remarked in surprise.

"If you're careful enough and luck is on your side, it's not entirely impossible to survive a year," Li Yang said.

"You already know from what I've said, if I died, I'd lose part of my memory upon resurrection. But unfortunately, I haven't died even once since last time. The reason I haven't died isn't due to surviving for a long time but existing in a special way, between life and death," Xiang Lan said, her tone was very calm, different from the first encounter.

"I see," Yang Jian understood.

Xiang Lan's survival wasn't because she truly lived here for over a year but because she was eroded by the Ghost and existed in a special state for a long time.

That's why she didn't lose her memory.

"This time, it's us who saved you. In exchange, we need to understand the situation here. We hope you can cooperate," Li Yang reminded her.

Xiang Lan's gaze shifted, "What do you want to know?"

"Everything here," Yang Jian replied.

Xiang Lan paused, then said, "Honestly, I don't know what this place is either. When I woke from unconsciousness, I found myself in this room, and then I tried to leave, but the process was not smooth. I couldn't find an exit and have been wandering, exploring here... Until one time I met Ah Nan, who was also trapped like me."

"And there are quite a few people with similar experiences. As far as I know, a total of ten people are trapped here, all searching for a way out as well."

"I don't know if anyone has succeeded, but I only know that in these countless rooms, each contains danger. However, occasionally we can find some clues and supplies for survival in the other rooms."

Yang Jian said, "I'm not satisfied with your answer like this, similar words were already said by Ah Nan."

"You've met him, where is he now?" Xiang Lan asked.

"Dead," Yang Jian said coldly, "But it was by my hand."

Xiang Lan's eyes shifted slightly, looking at Yang Jian with some surprise, seemingly not expecting him to kill Ah Nan, but she remained composed and said, "He's died more than once, another death doesn't matter. He should have already resurrected and appeared again in one of these rooms."

"Room 701, right?" Yang Jian asked.

"You even know this," Xiang Lan showed some surprise.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jian even knew Ah Nan's resurrection room.

"Why ask me when you know so much already?" Xiang Lan asked.

Yang Jian directly said, "Which is your room for recording information? There's something I want to see myself."

"The room for recording info?" Xiang Lan paused and then said, "Room 100."

"Is that so? You know the way, right? Take us to Room 100," Yang Jian said.

Xiang Lan said, "I don't mind taking you there, but I'd like to know what your purpose is for understanding this place."

"To completely seal this place, ensure this ghostly place never appears outside," Yang Jian replied.

"That's impossible," Xiang Lan said, "This place cannot be sealed, the exit will always exist. You can at most block the exit, but not seal it completely."

"Why?" Yang Jian asked.

"Lacking a reality anchor, this place won't exist," Xiang Lan explained, "That's the information I found. You can choose not to believe it."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately thought of his Ghost Domain.

Can his Ghost Domain be completely sealed?

No,

Because there exists a link to reality, which is his Ghost Eye.

If Caesar Grand Hotel is also maintained by relying on a Ghost, then the Ghost must exist in reality, otherwise here cannot be maintained.

So the exit can only be blocked, not completely eliminated.

But a blocked exit is not foolproof; one day it will be opened.

"We'll talk about this later; I have one more thing to do before going to Room 100."

Yang Jian then said, "I want to know why you can resurrect in this room after death. The true scene of this room cannot be shown in our eyes, only you can see it."

"I've explored that reason too, but I haven't found it," Xiang Lan said.

She stayed here for so long, couldn't possibly not explore this secret.

"You can't find it because you're exploring it as an ordinary person. What if you're not an ordinary person?" Yang Jian suggested a possibility.
