Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1231 - 1197: The Emerging Figure

A pair of human skin shoes worn on a headless corpse seemed calm, yet actually revealed a hidden danger.

Huang Ziya was very meticulous. She noticed this point and voiced a reminder.

Yang Jian was also very cautious. He directly used Ghost Hand to release the furnace fire, intending to burn the corpse.

This body, named Xiao Ye, was eroded by supernatural forces, making it easy to ignite with furnace fire. If it were just an ordinary person's corpse, it wouldn't burn so easily.

Immediately.

Flames appeared on the headless corpse.

The instant the flames appeared, Huang Ziya, a ghost handler, felt very uncomfortable. The firelight on her body created an unspeakable stabbing sensation, as if every pore was being scorched.

"Is this the captain's new supernatural power?" Huang Ziya quickly retreated.

She retreated far enough for the stinging sensation to swiftly disappear, indicating that this effect had a certain range.

Ordinary people showed no reaction to this firelight, not even feeling the heat of the flame.

Yang Jian calmly stared at the burning corpse.

Any hidden danger would soon become apparent. No ghost could remain unaffected under such furnace fire; even the fiercest ghost would be impacted, as proven at the Kaiser Grand Hotel.

As the corpse burned, a charred stench began to permeate the air.

Wang Xin, Keiko, and the remaining two subordinates almost vomited at the smell, but they dared not move, as Yang Jian had previously warned them that he would kill anyone who moved recklessly.

No one dared to disregard a captain's words.

"Nothing unusual? Did I guess wrong?" Huang Ziya also observed from afar.

Yang Jian said, "Even if there's nothing unusual, we must burn the corpse to prevent any incidents. However, I don't think your guess was wrong."

He kept his gaze on the corpse.

Earlier, it wasn't an illusion; the body moved slightly.

"Interesting. The supernatural hidden within the corpse avoided the oil lamp's probe but revealed itself under the furnace fire's burn." Yang Jian sneered and reached out to grab the air.

The next moment.

A golden, cracked spear appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Just at that moment, the corpse, previously lifeless, suddenly responded, springing up from the ground, standing straight.

The skin quickly peeled off, along with the burning furnace fire. As the corpse disintegrated, a phantom, chilling figure emerged. This figure wore a pair of brown human skin shoes and a black suit, its face indistinct and ambiguous, showing only a slight curve of the mouth into a stiff and eerie smile.

"Ghost?"

Huang Ziya slightly trembled, almost without hesitation, immediately acted.

The black hair frantically grew, covering the ground, rapidly approaching the eerie figure, while the black hair raised on the ground vaguely formed a frightening human contour.

At this moment, she utilized Ghost Hair and Ghost Embrace supernatural powers.

Such a strike was enough to trap a very fierce ghost.

However, when Huang Ziya's Ghost Hair spread to the ghost's side, it couldn't touch the ghost.

"What's going on?" Huang Ziya was startled.

"Contact with this thing requires a medium; without a medium, it's impossible to interact with the ghost."

Yang Jian observed and said, "Those shoes are the key. If you want to attack the ghost, you must wear those human skin shoes, but as soon as you wear the shoes, the ghost will instantly kill you. So, these shoes are deliberately delivered by these people—it's a trap, waiting for one of us to someday use this supernatural item and fall into it."

"This is no ordinary ghost. It seems to possess certain human intelligence."

Whether it's the rotten Dead Man's Head hidden in the crowd or the human skin shoes, seemingly just a supernatural item, it all reveals an insidious and vicious intent.

Unfortunately, this ghost seems to only target me; otherwise, my teammates would certainly meet the same deceitful end, dying inexplicably.

The ghost seemed aware that everything had been uncovered. It raised its hand, pointing towards Yang Jian, still showing that eerie and inexplicable smile.

Then, the ghost slowly retreated, the human skin shoes making crisp footsteps on the ground.

However, upon reaching the wall, the ghost stopped.

Because the human skin shoes were real and couldn't walk through the wall.

At this moment, the ghost separated from the human skin shoes, passed through the wall, and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

On the wall, it left a human figure shadow and a few charred marks, which formed a sentence: "I will come for you soon."

Yang Jian frowned, the Ghost Shadow behind him immediately covered over.

He tried to trigger the medium to dismember this thing at once.

However, when he covered the place where the human skin shoes had walked, no medium appeared.

Evidently, the human skin shoes and Sister Hong's high heels were alike in leaving no medium's footprints, demonstrating that supernatural items can isolate a medium.

"Interesting, leaving me a message." Yang Jian smiled.

"Captain, you can still smile? You're being targeted by a ghost." Huang Ziya glanced, saying.

Yang Jian said, "Isn't being targeted by ghosts a common occurrence for me? They must be able to kill me upon arrival. But I can confirm this ghost is special; it already has some intellect, if this is true, Wang Xin, your Exorcism Club in Japan is in deep trouble."

"This ghost is so deeply hidden and so unique, if you can't quickly find it, you're finished."

He could judge, the ghost is in Japan, and it's precisely that lost rotten Dead Man's Head, but now it seems to have completed some puzzle, becoming more terrifying.

"I, I understand. Thank you, Captain Yang, for the warning. I will definitely return to find this hidden ghost." Wang Xin gritted his teeth, saying.

"Then good luck to you."

Yang Jian squinted, saying, "I won't pursue today's matter. Quickly leave Dachang City before I change my mind. Until you've discovered the internal ghost, you're not welcome here. I don't have time to help you find it. If you break the rules and enter Dachang City, I'll immediately eliminate you."

"I understand." Wang Xin replied.

"You can leave now." Yang Jian directly issued a guest expulsion order.

He wanted the Exorcism Club to conduct internal processing, see if they could uncover the inner ghost.

Until there's an answer, anyone from Japan entering or leaving Dachang City could be the ghost in disguise and must be considered.
