Mysterious Revival

Yang Jian saw that Ye Zhen was causing trouble again and immediately wanted to stop him.

But it was too late.

Ye Zhen had already swiftly climbed up the wooden stairs, pursuing a mysterious and eerie song, looking for a new adversary.

“Forget it, can’t rely too much on him to cooperate with my actions, but his role is still very significant, at least he dealt with two ghosts in a short time.” Yang Jian gave up, thinking it was best to let Ye Zhen act alone.

At least he would proactively deal with some dangerous and terrifying existences.

This would indirectly reduce the danger here.

At this moment, indeed, there was a song coming from upstairs. The voice was intermittent and elusive, the kind found in Peking Opera. He had heard this voice twice before and it was said to originate from room 504 on the fifth floor of the post office. Previously, Sister Hong, who replaced Leuk Qingqing during awakening, entered that room.

Yang Jian looked at the incomplete female corpse on the ground with a black letter stuck to it and at the Door-Opening Ghost whose head and arms were dismembered, then at the recessed wall, where a fierce ghost resembling a child… These ghosts had all fallen into deathly silence.

Ghosts don’t die, nor can they be killed.

This silence is temporary; after a while, the fierce ghosts will revive.

“Open the Ghost Gate, send these ghost things away from the post office, can’t let these things affect us,” Yang Jian said.

He hadn’t forgotten the long spear in his hand still pinned a pair of dead feet.

In a brief moment, the number of ghosts gathered around had already reached a staggering four, all of which were high Terror Level existences, hence they must be sent away quickly and appropriately.

However.

He had just finished speaking.

Suddenly.

The post office’s main door suddenly emitted a loud noise amidst the conflict of supernatural forces.

The door completely shattered.

Li Yang, who was blocking the door, grunted and flew out under the impact of a huge force, landing heavily on the floor with several bones fractured, black blood flowing from his nose and mouth. But others didn’t fare much better and fell to the ground, those few messengers possessed supernatural powers but were of no use at this moment.

The unluckiest was Brother Long, due to the sudden occurrence, his arm completely twisted and broke, obviously affected by the supernatural forces outside the door.

Once the door shattered.

A gust of cold wind poured in from outside, the entire post office began to howl, as if it were a drafty hut, and besides that, at the position of the shattered door, several eerie shadows of fierce ghosts reflected askew from afar and landed on the post office floor.

There were as many as five of those shadows, each different.

The first shadow was very thin, stretched long on the ground, the second shadow was much shorter but more proportionate, not so tall and thin, the third shadow was female, as the figure was very slim, the fourth was a child, the fifth shadow was an adult, this adult’s shadow held hands with the child next to him… The five fierce ghost shadows lined up together, like a wall of black.

“Cough cough.”

Li Yang couldn’t help but cough a few times, some blood came out, he struggled to stand up because he knew now was not the time to complain.

The door was shattered, the fierce ghosts wouldn’t give him any respite, they’d invade and kill soon.

“Captain, captain, the ghosts outside can’t be stopped.” Li Yang didn’t forget to respond at the moment.

“I see.”

Yang Jian’s expression was grave, watching the five fierce ghost shadows reflecting cutely on the ground.

Outside the door, nobody was there, the neon lights of various colors kept flashing.

Li Yang used his supernatural power Ghost Door Blocker, plus other messengers’ help, combined with the post office’s main door, yet they didn’t stop these five fierce ghost shadows from invading, seems the real danger brought by the black letter was indeed them.

But before he could observe more.

Suddenly.

The first thin, askew fierce ghost shadow on the floor moved, it didn’t make any extra moves, just its head slightly turned, seemingly looking towards a certain direction.

“Thud!”

The next moment.

The bald messenger called Brother Long instantly fell to the floor, his eyes widened, like he died suddenly without any warning. He also controlled a ghost but wasn’t enough to withstand the fierce ghost’s terrifying attack.

“How could it be?”

A nearby Zhou Ze and the woman Zhong Yan fearfully stepped back rapidly, instinctively distancing themselves from the door, avoiding those fierce ghost shadows on the ground.

“The first fierce ghost’s shadow moved, then Brother Long died… clearly this triggered a killing rule, erased by the fierce ghost, and this is a trigger for certain death killing rule, not needing any medium, the ghost brought by the black letter, has reached such a terrifying level?”

Yang Jian felt a sudden chill, a wave of coldness surged, meanwhile quickly thinking about the response method.

Either fight head-on, use the Coffin Nail to pin down the fierce ghost, directly suppress it.

Yet the success rate wasn’t high since the fierce ghost shadows were five, Coffin Nail could only pin one, and the fierce ghost shadows might not be the source, just a supernatural phenomenon, Coffin Nail might not work.

But still gotta try.

Pinning one of the five fierce ghost shadows could at least reduce the fierce ghost’s terrifying level.

This way could buy time, understand the unknown fierce ghost’s killing rule.

But Yang Jian had just thought briefly.

The fierce ghost at the door didn’t give them time to hesitate, those five fierce ghost shadows gradually began invading the first floor of the post office, although the shadows were uneven in height, yet walking in line, seemed like a huge shadow covering everything on the ground, swallowing everyone.

No additional reminders needed.

Wang Yong, Zhou Ze, Zhong Yan, and Li Yang quickly retreated, not daring to come into contact with the shadow of the fierce ghost, fearing they might be targeted and die mysteriously like Brother Long.

Yang Jian also controlled Sun Rui’s corpse to move backwards.

At this moment.

Luckily, the ghosts inside the post office had been temporarily dealt with, otherwise, the situation would have been even worse.

“Find an opportunity to open the Ghost Gate and take these ghosts out of commission. If we don’t deal with them soon, the remaining ones will reanimate, and then we’ll face complete annihilation,” Yang Jian said, “I’ll handle whatever’s at the door.”

Li Yang nodded, saying no more, avoiding the shadow of the invading fierce ghost and heading towards the counter.

He remembered that Sun Rui had left a small piece of red Ghost Candle on the counter before disappearing.

If ignited, it could still buy them some time in safety.

“Follow me,” Li Yang said.

“Earlier, that Brother Long got killed, the first fierce ghost moved, meaning he got targeted by the first ghost, but the killing pattern is still unclear. I need to test it,” Yang Jian said as he walked forward without hesitation.

Though somewhat apprehensive, he decided to personally probe.

Yang Jian moved swiftly, stepping onto the shadows of those five fierce ghosts on the ground.

There was no sensation.

Unlike the Ghost Shadow, these five shadows were truly just ordinary shadows. Simply stepping on them would not result in being targeted by the fierce ghost or killed.

In other words, the killing pattern was not about touching or contact.

At the same time.

Yang Jian’s approach seemed to attract the attention of the fierce ghost, and the five shadows of the fierce ghosts stopped simultaneously. Concurrently, the second shadow of the fierce ghost moved.

It eerily turned its head to look at him.

“I’ve been targeted.”

Almost instantly, Yang Jian realized it, his whole body tensed up, readying himself for an attack from the fierce ghost.

But before he could think further.

His body suddenly became incredibly heavy, uncontrollable, and he crashed heavily to the ground, just like Brother Long had earlier.

His skin turned instantly ashen gray.

All signs of life vanished, and even his consciousness began to blur, and this impact was immense, even disrupting the Ghost Shadow… which was quite an incredible thing.

Because Yang Jian was now different, generally, he wouldn’t die.

But now.

Even as an anomaly, being targeted by the fierce ghost seemed to have an effect, trying to kill him.

Faced with the imminent lethal pattern, Yang Jian activated his emergency response.

His fallen corpse was enveloped in red light, directly entering reboot mode.

After just one second.

He stood again in place, the aura of death dissipated, and he came back to life.

“The second shadow of the fierce ghost killed me, strange, why wasn’t it the first shadow…?” Yang Jian didn’t have time to be surprised or fearful, his mind was only analyzing the previous situation.

Both were killed without warning, what was the difference between himself and Brother Long?

While the actions of the fierce ghost were the same, merely the shadow on the ground moved slightly, and the head seemed to turn and focus on him.

However, just seconds after rebooting, Yang Jian began to think.

The fierce ghost targeted him once more.

The shadow on the ground turned to lock on him again, a dreadful assault impossible to dodge descended upon Yang Jian’s expression.

Again, he felt his body getting heavy, his life aura fading, and he crashed heavily to the ground once more.

This time, it was still the second shadow that moved.

“Damn.”

Yang Jian became a bit angry, unhesitatingly initiated a second reboot, with a flash of red light, he recovered again.

This time he didn’t hesitate.

The long spear in his hand was thrown with force, accurately nailing onto the second shadow of the fierce ghost.

Despite the Coffin Nail still stuck in those dead feet, it didn’t hinder nailing the second ghost.

The effect appeared, the second shadow froze after being pinned down by the Coffin Nail.

One second, two seconds, three seconds… more than ten seconds passed, Yang Jian was no longer under attack, he successfully avoided the fate of being killed by the fierce ghost.

But the other four fierce ghost shadows continued to encroach, seemingly unaffected by the Coffin Nail.

Indeed.

The previous assessment was correct, the five shadows of the fierce ghost were independent, not a single entity.
