Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1336 - 1303: Targeting and Action

The ruptured belly, sticky dark blood, and the headless corpse.

The unexpected arrival of Zhou Zheng and Zhao Kaiming, followed by their unreasonable attack on Yang Jian, had predictable consequences.

Yang Jian stood to the side, expressionless, staring coldly at an invisible and chilling figure before him.

Just moments ago, in front of the Wishing Ghost, he had effortlessly killed Zhao Kaiming. With the host gone, the Wishing Ghost was no longer bound, and under normal circumstances, it would select another unfortunate soul as a host. However, Zhao Kaiming had wished for the ghost to kill himself before his death.

Yang Jian wondered if, without a host, the Wishing Ghost would still fulfill this request.

However, the Wishing Ghost did not comply.

The chilling aura circled around briefly before rapidly moving away. The ghost did not fulfill Zhao Kaiming's wish to kill Yang Jian after his death.

"It's good that it left; it seems to save us from some unnecessary trouble."

Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly, and only after sensing the cold aura completely dissipate did he relax.

Wang Shanshan glanced at the two corpses on the ground. Her fair face was expressionless and calm as she said, "The Ghost Child inherited the human skin paper and wrote down this information to make you kill familiar people. It's not an easy task. Putting aside whether these people are dangerous, among those familiar ones, there must be our relatives and friends."

"Even knowing this world might be constructed by the supernatural, taking action is still not easy."

Killing all one's relatives and friends with one's own hands—one would have to be heartless to do something like this. Although Wang Shanshan was indifferent, she didn't have such a cruel heart, and she knew Yang Jian wouldn't do it either.

Yang Jian said calmly, "You're wrong. The supernatural is hard to define death. Take Zhang Wei as an example. He is a familiar friend. If I have to chop off his head to make him disappear from this world, does that mean killing him? But if I resurrect him after killing him, then how do you count that? Is it fulfilling the requirement or not?"

Wang Shanshan frowned, "Do you think there's a loophole in this information?"

"The information has no loopholes; it depends on how you handle it. As I said before, familiar people are the lines binding you to this world. The more familiar people there are, the more lines bind you, making it increasingly difficult to leave this world. What we need to do is cut off these lines. As long as the lines are severed, whether they die or not doesn't matter anymore."

"Therefore, instead of killing everyone, redefine these people as unfamiliar. As long as they don't meet this requirement, then there's no need to kill them."

"Makes sense, stripping away the 'familiar people' status, making it invalid," Wang Shanshan's eyes lit up slightly, amazed by Yang Jian's way of thinking.

Indeed, viewing the problem from a different perspective makes it easier to solve.

"So, what are you going to do?" Wang Shanshan continued to ask.

Yang Jian said, "Two methods. First, erase all memories of familiar people from my mind, starting with myself. As long as I forget everyone, there are no familiar people, fulfilling the requirement. But I think this method is likely to fail."

"Why?" Wang Shanshan was puzzled; this seemed like a good solution.

Yang Jian said, "Because we are not binding this world, but rather this world is binding us, so I think the second method is more likely to succeed—let the people of this world forget us. If Zhang Wei doesn't remember me, then he won't be defined as my acquaintance in this world, so I won't need to kill him."

"You're right, we don't need to forget them, they just need to forget us," Wang Shanshan nodded, but then hesitated, "However, some people you know are very powerful ghost tamers in this world, and you're not even a match for them in the human skin paper's foreknowledge."

"In these circumstances, it's unlikely to make them forget us."

Yang Jian looked up at the sky, then slowly opened his ghost eyes.

The Ghost Domain expanded, expanded again, and in just a few seconds, it had enveloped the entire Dachang City, and this was not even its limit; the Ghost Domain continued to spread beyond Dachang City.

"Don't forget, this is three years ago. Three years ago, I wasn't a ghost tamer; very few top ghost tamers knew me, so fulfilling this condition isn't very difficult. As I previously mentioned, it just requires some time. There are still nearly six hours left. I hope my actions will be smooth during this time."

"Zhou Zheng and Zhao Kaiming's unreasonable actions already indicate that we are being targeted by this bizarre world. By then, other ghost tamers will come to stop us, and we need to act separately. You need to train the Ghost Child in a very short time to become a sufficiently terrifying ghost."

"And I will be wiping memories of others while dealing with those ghost tamers coming our way, but I can't guarantee I can face them all, so before I'm killed, I need a powerful Ghost Child, or rather, a real Hungry Ghost."

After saying that, Yang Jian glanced at the remains of the blue-black Ghost Infant on the ground.

"Now that the Ghost Child has consumed the human skin paper, it knows everything; it knows how to grow. You need to restrain it a little. Of course, it's dangerous. I can't guarantee the Ghost Child won't lose control and kill you, but there's no choice. If the Ghost Child isn't strong enough, we will likely fail."

"I understand," Wang Shanshan nodded.

Yang Jian said, "Since that's the case, let's start. My Ghost Domain will cover Dachang City. During this time, the Ghost Child can appear anywhere in Dachang City. Once it reaches a certain level, it will also have a Ghost Domain, allowing you more freedom in your actions."

"Hopefully, we can escape here smoothly before six o'clock."

After finishing, he didn't linger any longer and instantly vanished.

Wang Shanshan didn't hesitate either and immediately instructed the Ghost Child to consume the second ghost, which was the dismembered Ghost Infant on the ground.

The Ghost Child was born due to the Hungry Ghost, and if it consumed the Ghost Infant, it would become a true Hungry Ghost, growing more terrifying.

But merely this is not enough; the Ghost Child still needs to continue growing.

However, Wang Shanshan does not need to deliberately guide the growth of the Ghost Child; at this moment, the Ghost Child seems to understand what kind of fierce ghost it needs to devour to grow even more terrifying.

Combining the abilities of the human skin paper and the Hungry Ghost, it is about to start growing into a terrifying ghost that shocks everyone.

But the time given to the Ghost Child is limited, less than six hours, perhaps not even six hours.

This might be the only thing that can limit the Ghost Child.

At this moment, Yang Jian's supernatural abilities are already starting to affect Dachang City.

The Ghost Domain covered everyone in the city, but it did not attract anyone's attention, and everything was as usual.

At this moment.

In a classroom at No. 7 Middle School in Dachang City.

The classmates discussing Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan's situation only felt an eerie chill invading, then their bodies stiffened, and certain memories vanished from their minds.

"Eh, Yang Jian, who is Yang Jian?"

Someone listened confusedly to others talking, but could no longer find any memory of Yang Jian in their mind.

"Yang Jian? Is there such a person? I don't know him." Zhao Lei also lost a part of his memories, having no impression of Yang Jian.

"What are you talking about, not knowing Yang Jian? Just now he was still..." Zhang Wei got a bit agitated, thinking these people have gone mad, but before finishing his sentence, he too froze, wanting to say something but realizing he didn't know where to start.

Soon.

Everyone in the classroom lost their memories of Yang Jian, and under such circumstances, they were no longer familiar with Yang Jian.

"The Ghost Shadow's erasure of living memories is a bit slow, not as good as that Forgetful Ghost of Li Leping's supernatural ability, but fortunately, not many familiar people from three years ago exist, and most are in Dachang City, this makes it easier for me to act." Yang Jian stood on the top floor of a building in Dachang City, thinking to himself.

But merely erasing memories of high school classmates is not enough; there are former middle school classmates, relatives from the hometown, and some acquaintances scattered across the country.

"However, I think there's no need to target everyone familiar. I believe once the memories of a vast majority are erased, the world's hold on Wang Shanshan and me will lessen substantially, and by then, I can most likely free him using my supernatural power."

Yang Jian continued his actions, this process being relatively reversed and time-consuming as well.

Apart from erasing his own acquaintances' memories, he also had to erase Wang Shanshan's acquaintances' memories.

As this process continued, Yang Jian sensed some subtle changes, noticing the surrounding world starting to distort and blur, becoming less real than before; if such changes persist, the world seems on the verge of collapsing, dissipating like an Illusionary Realm.

Clearly.

Yang Jian's method was correct.

But resistance had already started to emerge.

With the deaths of Zhou Zheng and Zhao Kaiming, the heads over there at headquarters had already responded.

"This Yang Jian is too dangerous. Killing Fang Shiming wasn't enough; he also killed Zhou Zheng and Zhao Kaiming; they are the heads of the headquarters, and his actions are undoubtedly provocative. There's nothing else to say, mobilize the headquarters' ghost tamers and take down this dangerous guy; such a figure cannot be allowed to exist in the supernatural realm."

Cao Yanhua, as the vice minister, appeared at this moment, slamming the table fiercely and issuing the order through gritted teeth.

In this supernatural world, Yang Jian has become the top enemy of the Ghost Tamers Headquarters, willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate him.

If placed in reality, this would be unreasonable, because even if Yang Jian truly did this, the headquarters wouldn't be able to mobilize all the top ghost tamers to deal with Yang Jian in such a short time.

However, in this unreasonable world, everything is reasonable.

Originally some ghost tamers, who were not very cooperative, at this moment, astonishingly obeyed arrangements.

Wang Chaling from Dadong City, Li Leping from Dachuan City, Li Jun from headquarters, Ah Hong, Chen Yi... even Ye Zhen from Dahai City is preparing to head to Dachang City.

According to the normal schedule.

Within three hours, these people would definitely arrive in Dachang City.

Therefore, this can be considered the first wave of attack by this supernaturally constructed world against Yang Jian.
