Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1414 - 1381: The Countermeasure Plan

The time has come to the second day.

It's been over ten hours since the headquarters declared war on the King Organization, and aside from the news of Yang Jian hunting down the Manor Lord spreading, the paranormal circle seems to have returned to calm.

Although discussions on the Ghost Domain website are ongoing, what's eerie is that the members of the King Organization seem to have all vanished at this moment, with no actions or news coming out, and even some openly aligned paranormal organizations have remained silent.

Anyone with insight knows that Yang Jian's hunting action has put great pressure on the King Organization people, because no one could have expected that a mere captain like Yang Jian could wipe out the Terror Manor Lord.

Such power is enough to disrupt the balance of the situation.

To put it bluntly, who among the remaining Kings of the King Organization can guarantee they won't be the next hunted target?

Even if the Ark Plan is successfully implemented, who can withstand Yang Jian's final counterattack and retaliation?

Unless...they take Yang Jian down first, eliminating this greatest threat, otherwise many won't be able to sleep at night.

"Still no movement?" Li Yang stared at the website overnight, browsing a lot of information and paying attention to intelligence from headquarters.

But after a whole night, he found nothing, which surprised him greatly.

"Indeed, this attack by the captain hurt them. Now I estimate the King Organization is in chaos internally. If we can devise a counter-Ark plan, then this situation might very well reverse, not necessarily in advantage, but at least not be manipulable at will. As long as we have the capital to resist, those so-called 'kings' have to weigh whether they can afford the cost of provoking us."

Li Yang felt a bit less tense at the moment. Although the sudden action by the King Organization yesterday indeed caught the headquarters off guard, making the situation feel completely unstable, the success of the hunting plan firmly stabilized the situation.

At this moment.

Yang Jian has become the hottest figure in the entire paranormal circle and even globally, his importance and status even surpassing foreign presidents. Now his every action is enough to affect global dynamics and even determine the future world's direction.

Yet at this moment, he is alone in the number one safe house in Guanjiang Residential Complex.

And the Manor Lord's head, nailed by the Coffin Nail, is placed right in front of him.

"It's almost ready," Yang Jian murmured for a moment before finally pulling the red long spear out from the head.

He released the suppression on the Manor Lord, though such an act was dangerous, he needed to gather intelligence from this head, so he had to take a risk.

Once the Coffin Nail was pulled out.

The surrounding black Ghost Shadows immediately enveloped the head.

Yang Jian hesitated not, directly used the Ghost Shadow to read memories, not intending to interrogate any information from the other.

However, when the Ghost Shadow completely covered the head, what was read was not living memory but a darkness, and upon entering this darkness, consciousness seemed to be pulled by something horrifying, continually falling downwards, as if about to plunge into an endless abyss.

In the next moment.

A howl from an Evil Hound sounded, abruptly pulling Yang Jian's consciousness back from this darkness.

Yang Jian suddenly regained his senses, the Ghost Shadows enveloping the head immediately dispersed as well.

"His consciousness is also protected by some paranormal force, unable to be easily probed. If not for the memory of an Evil Hound stored within me, my consciousness would have been dragged into that bottomless darkness, eternally unable to escape."

Just one attempt nearly trapped himself, indeed, this Manor Lord is no ordinary being, even with only a head remaining, killing methods still exist.

Without the Coffin Nail's suppression, the Manor Lord now slowly opened his eyes, awoke. Although without a body, his consciousness remained clear, as if nothing was amiss.

"Yang, is this your safe house?" His hoarse voice echoed, having already guessed his situation.

"I intended to read your memory directly. Seems like there's some terrible paranormal stored within your head too," Yang Jian said, coldly.

The Manor Lord sneered, "If not for that damned woman, you wouldn't have defeated me, at most we'd be at a stalemate, and my mates were almost here. The final loser would surely be you."

"Your words are laughable. Is it only permissible for you to have teammates, not me? In a true one-on-one, killing you wouldn't be difficult, just time-consuming. If you were truly that formidable, your Terror Manor wouldn't have been breached by me alone," Yang Jian said calmly.

The Manor Lord stared at Yang Jian, soon regaining composure, no longer entangled over the victory or defeat of the previous battle, he then spoke, "Yang, let's make a deal. Just let me go, I'll give you satisfactory terms, information on the King Organization, the location of the Ghost Ship, even the specific details of the Ark plan...what you'll get will be more than you imagined, and it'll make your dealings with the King Organization more advantageous."

"Can't wait to sell out your teammates?" Yang Jian looked at him and said.

"The Arks plan is merely to safeguard our King's interests. If I can't even preserve my life, what does the success of the plan matter to me? Yang, you're a smart person; you know that doing this will benefit you." The Manor Lord, at this moment, seemed like a shrewd businessman, constantly offering conditions to secure his freedom.

Yang Jian said, "If you can help me stop the Arks plan, I might let you go once it's over."

"Yang, you're not good at lying. This lie is too clumsy. If I help you stop the Arks plan, then my value would be lost. A person who has lost value has no reason to live. Do you think I would agree to your approach?"

The Manor Lord's hoarse voice continued, "Don't try to seize my memories; you can't do it. My memories have long been integrated with the supernatural. You might be able to kill me, but you'll never get what you want."

"Yang, the Arks plan is important, but the location of the Ghost Ship is even more crucial. If the Ghost Ship successfully lands, your country is doomed. There are countless terrifying ghosts on that ship, ghosts even I don't want to touch. You can't handle the Ghost Ship. The only way is to find some method to guide it, making it land elsewhere, bringing this disaster to someone else."

"But you don't have time. With the speed of the Ghost Ship, at most ten days, it will reach one of your shores. You need to know, that ship is a supernatural entity, can't be monitored by satellites, can't be detected. Even a ghost-wielder can hardly find it without correct coordinates."

"Even if you search continuously using the Ghost Domain and really find the Ghost Ship at sea, there's nothing you can do."

The Manor Lord revealed some information, but more importantly, he informed Yang Jian of the dangers involved.

The key to victory in this battle is never between the Captain and the King, but whether the Ghost Ship can land.

Even if the people from the King Organization do nothing, just wait, and after ten days, the battle will already be won.

At that time, numerous terrifying ghosts will come pouring in, supernatural events will erupt. It will just take one day, and coastal cities will be doomed. The headquarters won't be able to spare the effort to deal with the King Organization; merely coping with domestic supernatural events will already be exhausting.

Moreover, after the first wave of the Ghost Ship's successful landing, there will be a second wave, a third wave.

The King Organization can manipulate global situations using this method.

If a country's ghost-wielders are too strong and uncontrollable, the Ghost Ship will go there.

"Will you let me go in exchange for your country's survival, or kill me and lose the chance to turn the tables, Yang? I'm awaiting your answer."

The Manor Lord, at this moment, was not like a defeated person at all; he remained calm, even continually pressuring Yang Jian.

Yang Jian frowned and said nothing at this moment.

Because after hearing some of the information revealed by the Manor Lord, the situation was indeed more serious than he imagined.

A ship filled with ghosts that even the King would dare deal with, if this truly appeared domestically, it would certainly lead to endless S-level supernatural events. At that time, even if the King Organization was wiped out, his side would endure unimaginable huge losses.

But making a deal with this Manor Lord would be a foolish thing.

Not to mention whether the Manor Lord would genuinely cooperate; even if the intelligence was really obtained, letting him go would be like releasing a tiger back to the mountain.

"A counter-Arks Plan must be devised. Only this way can we force the King Organization to retreat with a firm stance, or even alter the Ghost Ship's route." Yang Jian believed this to be the best solution.

"I need to think carefully."

He gradually fell into deep thought, ignoring the words of the Manor Lord, just continued to hold his head down with a Coffin Nail, then left it in the safe house.

As Yang Jian gradually pondered, various plans collided in his mind.

Finally, looking at the wet puddle beneath his feet, a plan began to take shape in his mind.

Since the people from the King Organization used the Ghost Ship to bring terrifying ghosts into the country, he too could use similar means to lead the ghosts into their country.

Ghost Lake is the best medium.

Because the water areas infested by the supernatural of Ghost Lake can all be controlled by Yang Jian, and Ghost Lake also submerges countless terrifying ghosts. Due to the sheer number of ghosts, Ghost Lake is full and can no longer imprison more ghosts, ultimately leading to a significant reduction in Ghost Lake's supernatural nature, and even some ghosts have escaped from Ghost Lake.

"If they truly intend to land the Ghost Ship, then I'll actively release all the ghosts within Ghost Lake and bring the supernatural into their country, letting them feel the threat of terrible ghosts."

"And I'll name this plan: The Great Flood Plan."

Yang Jian's gaze flickered; he felt that in dealing with these crazy people, he should also become crazier. Since they don't want him and his people to live, he won't let them feel comfortable either. It's all for survival; there's no need to care too much.
