Mysterious Revival

"It’s not difficult to get rid of Wang Xiaoqiang, as he is no threat to me, but to eliminate that Ye Feng, with my current abilities, it might still be a bit of a stretch."

Nighttime.

Yang Jian was alone on the fifth floor of the villa, standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the brightly lit Dachang City, deep in thought.

"Battling it out with Ye Feng might kill him, but the toll on myself would be heavy, and that’s not a wise move. Even if I use the Ghost Mirror to resurrect once... it comes with significant risks."

Resurrection through the Ghost Mirror should only be a last resort, never something to rely on.

He harbored great reservations in his heart.

For example, whether the ghosts in his body would remain after resurrection, or whether he’d end up like Zhang Wei, grabbed by the hands inside the Ghost Mirror, unable to escape, leading to a failed resurrection.

One should not gamble with one’s life carelessly, for if something goes wrong, there may not be a second chance for a do-over.

The only correct choice is... to enhance my own power.

"Having become a ghost controller, the ghosts have merged with me; I cannot strip them from my body. If that’s the case, then I can only go down this path and walk it to the end. I don’t care about the future, but now, I absolutely will not allow my personal safety to be threatened."

Gazing at the brightly lit Dachang City in the distance, Yang Jian made up his mind.

He wanted to protect the Guanjiang Residential Complex, to make this place his home, and even planned to move all his relatives and friends here to live. In a world where supernatural incidents would become frequent, having a safe place to live is important.

The appearance of Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng was not just an attempt to assassinate him; it was an attack on his ideal.

"The only way to increase my power is to find answers on that piece of human skin parchment. It knows more than I imagined." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Suddenly.

Yang Jian thought again of that eerie piece of human skin parchment.

He had welded it inside a gold box and did not plan to use it again.

But since he hadn’t thrown it away, it meant that the parchment had already taken root in his heart.

Yang Jian speculated that the parchment might actually be a ghost, but when cornered with no way out, he would have to exploit it, even if it were a ghost.

"With the items I currently have in hand, whether it’s the Ghost Rope, Ghost Mirror, or the Ghost Door Knocker phone, none are enough to kill Ye Feng. The shroud he wears is too wicked, able to withstand other ghostly attacks. Moreover, the abilities of the Ghost Tooth haven’t been fully revealed yet. Once the two powers fully erupt, I reckon I may only be able to rely on the Ghost Domain to escape."

Yang Jian secretly thought.

He acknowledged his powers’ deficiencies: eerie as they were, they tended toward self-preservation.

He turned away from the window.

Yang Jian went back to the room to retrieve the gold box once more.

Without hesitation, he opened it.

There it was, a dark brown parchment with a faint smell of decay.

This piece of human skin parchment seemed ordinary, yet in Huanggang Village, Yang Jian had not forgotten how it had devoured a ghost.

The ghost stood no chance of resisting.

If even an undying ghost fared so, what more a human.

Therefore, every time he used the parchment, Yang Jian felt a tremor of fear.

"You know what I want now, so I’ll skip the small talk. Tell me a method to enhance my power. This time you’re not allowed to give me the runaround; I’m not patient anymore. If you say you don’t know, by tomorrow you’ll be at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, never to emerge in this world again."

Yang Jian said gravely.

If the human skin parchment couldn’t provide help when he needed it, he would destroy it without hesitation.

The value of this human skin paper lay exactly in this.

There was no movement on the human skin paper, but after a full three minutes, black characters gradually emerged.

"My name is Yang Jian, and today I am not dead yet, the assassination aimed at me seems to have failed, but the enemy is stronger than I imagined. I am not quite willing to let them go, but hatred lingers in my heart, and I have never wanted to kill someone so strongly before."

"My power is still not enough, which I have anticipated before. Now is the time to strengthen my own power, but this method is very dangerous, and I am hesitating whether to use it."

"Actually, I didn’t plan to master this ability at this time, if you can see this sentence it means the situation must already be extremely critical. I leave behind the method to grasp this power, but I hope the me at that time can be especially cautious."

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows when he saw this.

Has this human skin paper finally compromised?

"What exactly is the method?"

All the characters on the human skin paper disappeared, then two characters appeared: suicide.

Hmm?

Upon seeing these two characters, Yang Jian nearly tore the human skin paper to shreds, was this thing still trying to trick him into dying in the end?

But what emerged on the paper afterward deeply furrowed his brow.

"The so-called suicide is not the simple notion of killing oneself, but a method to perfectly control a ghost without allowing oneself to die from the ghost’s resurrection. This method is extremely demanding, and it requires the help of another ghost... and now I have mastered the perfect conditions to control a ghost, it’s just that the me at the time was not yet aware."

"A method to perfectly control a ghost? How is that possible?"

He was somewhat shocked in his heart.

After becoming a ghost master, Yang Jian was very clear that the reason ghosts could be controlled was that they were still in a state of gradual awakening.

It is precisely because of this that humans and ghosts can coexist.

But once a ghost fully awakens, the human will definitely die.

This is what’s known as the ghost’s resurrection.

Up to now, there have already been many people who have died due to this outcome, Zhou Zheng, Yan Li, and recently Wang Yue.

These are just the ones Yang Jian knows about, and there are others he does not.

"First, I cannot dismiss it as impossible, what if this is real? What then?" After calming down, Yang Jian began to think.

Although it seemed incredible at first glance, but ghosts have appeared in this world, even such things as ghost mirrors allowing people to resurrect have occurred, what could be impossible?

If one truly could perfectly control a ghost, then it would be equivalent to being able to control a fully resurrected ghost; the sheer power of this ability is simply unimaginable.

He continued to read on.

New writing emerged on the human skin paper: "Considering the conditions I had at that time, I could only perfectly control the Ghost Shadow behind me."

"The existence of Ghost Shadow has always been suppressed by my Ghost Eye, prolonging the time before the ghost’s resurrection. In fact, its abilities are far more than just this; if I can fully utilize it, it may have unexpected effects."

"Perfectly control Ghost Shadow?" Yang Jian hesitated.

The Ghost Shadow was indeed very dangerous.

It could seize other ghosts’ bodies and make them its own.

Once it obtained a body pieced together by vicious ghosts, it would become a new ghost.

A truly incomprehensible and terrifying ghost.

Therefore, most of the time, Yang Jian was vigilant of the Ghost Shadow to prevent it from going out of control and recklessly killing people around him.
