Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1225 - 1191: Searching

After He Yuelian left the Guanjiang Residential Complex, she did not make any stops and bought the earliest plane ticket she could, immediately setting off for Dahan City.

On the way, she called her half-brother, He Long.

"Little sister, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that we are not part of that circle. As for information related to Dahan City, I am truly powerless. The information I currently have is very limited. All I know is that the person in charge of Dahan City is a ghost handler named Sun Rui, and he's been missing for a long time. As for the reason for his disappearance and what exactly happened in Dahan City, I cannot investigate."

He Long's voice came through the phone.

He Yuelian said, "I've already met Yang Jian and have made a connection with him. If I can successfully return from Dahan City, I'll be able to join Yang Jian's company. If you want to invest, now is the time."

"Little sister, I understand the weight of a captain, but most of the intelligence in the mainland is confidential. If Lok Sheng were still around, he could have helped learn more information about other cities. Unfortunately, Lok Sheng is no longer with us. Plus, last time Yang Jian dealt with many ghost handlers in Da'ao City, and with father's passing… So I hope you understand my difficulties; some things can't be solved with money."

He Long lamented over the phone, expressing his helplessness.

"Forget it, I'll handle this matter myself." He Yuelian decided not to pressure He Long further.

She knew that He Long surely wanted to help her, especially since he was eager to make a connection with Yang Jian. If he wasn't offering help now, it was because he truly couldn't. Begging any further was unnecessary.

However, this call was not entirely without use.

At the very least, He Yuelian heard a name, Sun Rui.

This information matched what Yang Jian had revealed.

With this, He Yuelian felt assured that the information and address Yang Jian gave her were genuine and useful, not perfunctory, nor was he sending her to a haunted place to die.

"So, I indeed have a chance to come back alive successfully," He Yuelian thought to herself.

Around six in the evening.

He Yuelian's flight landed in Dahan City, and she hailed a taxi, intending to head directly to the address Yang Jian had given her.

However, the taxi driver was surprised when he heard the address: "Jianshe Road in Dahan City? You want to go there?"

"What's wrong, is there a problem?"

Wearing sunglasses, He Yuelian's expression was unreadable, but her tone revealed a hint of nervousness.

The taxi driver said, "There's no problem, it's just that Jianshe Road has been closed for a long time, only recently opened, but few people go there because it's said to be unsafe."

"Unsafe? What makes it unsafe?" He Yuelian asked.

The taxi driver replied, "I don't know. Some say there's a gas leak, others talk about bacteria or viruses, and some even claim it's haunted… There are all sorts of rumors, messy and mixed up."

He Yuelian was momentarily startled upon hearing the mention of haunting.

Just as suspected.

That location indeed had issues.

"Miss, if you're concerned, perhaps you should choose another address," the taxi driver suggested.

"No, I'll go there," He Yuelian replied firmly.

The taxi driver didn't say anything more and drove into Dahan City, eventually arriving at the long-closed Jianshe Road.

Quickly, He Yuelian paid and got out of the car.

She slightly removed her sunglasses, checking the address on the piece of paper repeatedly.

"This is an unfinished building."

Staring at the unfinished building at the intersection, He Yuelian hesitated for a moment.

"I've come this far; I have no choice now."

Finally, she bit her lip and walked towards the unfinished building.

The building was initially secured, but it had recently been opened. However, security guards were still patrolling and standing guard nearby, prohibiting any strangers from entering. Additionally, a thick high wall had been built around the building, equipped with a power grid and surveillance.

One might think there was something extremely valuable inside the unfinished building.

The front gate of the building was not closed and was open continuously.

He Yuelian attempted to go inside, but was stopped by a security guard.

"No approaching allowed here," the security guard said sincerely and seriously.

He Yuelian took off her sunglasses and smiled slightly: "Sorry, a scarf of mine just got blown inside by the wind. I'd like to go retrieve it. Could you make an exception this once, brother?"

She pleaded with a hint of coquettishness, clearly employing charm.

The security guard appeared momentarily entranced, astonished by He Yuelian's beauty, surpassing any television, movie, or enhanced celebrity beauty photos, giving off an impeccable appearance.

"I'm really sorry, but you can't go in."

But soon, the security guard regained his composure and immediately refused He Yuelian's request.

"If you dropped something inside, I can have my colleague help retrieve it. You can wait here for a moment." Having said that, the security guard planned to contact a colleague.

He Yuelian hadn't expected the security guard to be so uncompromising, and so she said, "It's too much trouble for your colleague. I'll just go in to grab it and come right out. Could you help me out?"

She pleaded again, with a sincere and polite attitude that made it hard to refuse.

But the security guard still refused, "I'm sorry, you're not allowed in here."

Seeing this, He Yuelian realized that the person on guard here was definitely not an ordinary security guard, but possibly some special staff disguised as one.

Otherwise, why would they be so dutifully guarding a ruined building?

"Looks like I'll have to think of another way." He Yuelian had no choice but to prepare to leave for now.

However, at this moment, the security guard suddenly changed his attitude, "Wait, don't go, you can go in."

"Hmm?" He Yuelian was immediately puzzled.

Why did he change his mind so quickly after being so firm just now?

"Thank you, big brother." She didn't ask why, thanked him, and walked in.

The security guard stepped aside and no longer obstructed her, only seeing He Yuelian off into the ruined building.

"Was this arranged by Yang Jian?" He Yuelian pondered as she walked.

She believed Yang Jian had arranged it via a phone call; the security guard must have received some command, otherwise, he wouldn't have let her in.

Yet, as she was considering this, the moment she unwittingly stepped into the ruined building, an unimaginable change occurred in front of her eyes.

The originally abandoned building disappeared, and everything around her took on a new appearance.

A five-story building flashing with neon lights bizarrely stood in front of her eyes, everything around it was dim, endless, and exuded an unexplainable chilly aura.

"Hell Apartment?" He Yuelian's heart raced. She looked at the words flashing on the neon lights and instantly understood.

This is the place Yang Jian wanted her to come to.

"What's your name, who sent you here? Ordinary people shouldn't know about this place's existence."

A cold voice suddenly came from the lobby behind the revolving door.

"My name is He Yuelian, Yang Jian sent me here. He asked me to find someone named Sun Rui. Are you Sun Rui?" He Yuelian steadied herself and called into the lobby.

Right after she finished speaking.

The revolving door opened, and the lights in the lobby lit up.

"Come in." Sun Rui's voice came from inside.

As the manager here, he had seen He Yuelian lingering outside, not coming for the ruined building but looking for something with intent.

So he informed the security to let He Yuelian in.

He Yuelian gathered her courage and cautiously stepped over the door, walking into this eerie building.

Inside was resplendent, the lights were dazzling, not scary at all, just exceptionally quiet and empty.

On the sofa in the lobby, a man in casual attire was sitting there with a cane, his gaze cold and face serious.

Upon seeing this man, He Yuelian could already deduce that this person was Sun Rui, the manager of Dahan City.

"Were you recommended by Yang Jian? What did he ask you to come here for?" Sun Rui tapped his cane.

The door slammed shut with a bang.

The surrounding lights moved, focusing on He Yuelian as if trying to thoroughly scrutinize her inside and out.

"Yang Jian told me to come here to find you. He didn't say the exact reason." He Yuelian said immediately.

"An ordinary person?"

Sun Rui squinted slightly, "But you have an extraordinary appearance, no, your appearance is nearly flawless, it's impossible for a living person to look like this,"

"He said I look exactly like a woman in a painting." He Yuelian said.

"Yang Jian spoke of the ghost painting, but very few have seen it because most who did are dead. It is an unsolvable supernatural event, so even I don't know what the woman in the ghost painting actually looks like, but seeing you, I think it's not impossible for the ghost painting to resemble you."

Sun Rui said, "Now that you're here, there's no need to beat around the bush. Yang Jian isn't someone who talks in riddles, he must have given you some information."

"He asked me to find someone named Zhang Xiangguang." He Yuelian said.

Zhang Xiangguang?

Sun Rui immediately frowned.

This is not a simple person; he has been investigating Zhang Xiangguang for a while, and so far, he has only obtained three pieces of information.

First, Zhang Xiangguang was once the manager of the post office but somehow managed to leave and escape from there.

Second, Zhang Xiangguang is still alive in this world, and he has completed the Ghost Post Office's letter delivery mission twice.

Third, the second manager, Tian Xiaoyue, was dismembered and preserved in a bottle; although resurrected, she became neither human nor ghost, and all this is related to Zhang Xiangguang.
