Mysterious Revival

“Put on the clothes first, don’t wander around naked, or people might think I’m bullying a child.”

Yang Jian found a piece of clothing and tossed it to the Ghost Child.

The Ghost Child was wandering around naked, affecting the city’s appearance.

Although Yang Jian had the Ghost Shroud, it was in Ghost Lake, and at the moment, he couldn’t connect to his own lake water, so he couldn’t retrieve the Ghost Shroud.

“It’s useless; it doesn’t like wearing clothes. Every time it puts on clothes, it takes them off after the command time is up. Only that particular clothing can’t be taken off, so it stays on,” Wang Shanshan said with a glance.

“How did that shroud get lost?” Yang Jian asked.

Wang Shanshan replied, “Guided by the human skin paper, I sold that shroud at a clothing store for ten dollars.”

As she spoke, she opened her palm, revealing a colorful paper money in her hand.

This was a three-yuan bill, not belonging to any country in the world, only existing as Ghost Money in the supernatural circle.

“Where did the remaining seven dollars go?” Yang Jian asked, surprised that the loss of the Ghost Shroud was due to such a reason, driven by a lack of money to sell it to that mysterious clothing shop.

But the clothing store was really heartless.

The buying price was only ten dollars, yet it sold to Yang Jian for seventeen, making a profit of seven dollars.

Wang Shanshan said, “I spent the remaining seven dollars at another shop to buy a secret.”

“What secret?” Yang Jian’s eyes moved slightly.

“The secret of letting the dead leave the street, return to reality, and resurrect,” Wang Shanshan said.

Yang Jian said, “Spirits can’t leave the street, and anyone who tries to take them away will encounter misfortune. Seow Yang tried this before, and Liu Qi tried as well— the former is already dead, and the latter almost died, fortunately, I arrived in time to save Liu Qi. Both were excellent ghost tamers.”

“I know, Seow Yang told me about the danger of taking spirits away, so I thought if I saw your spirit on the street, how could I bring you back?”

Wang Shanshan said, “I couldn’t find a good way, but the shop in Baishui Town had a way, and it needed seven-yuan Ghost Money, which I didn’t have. So my only option was to sell the clothes from Ghost Child.”

“After getting the money, I spent seven dollars on the method, which was simple. All I needed was human hair woven into a rope to bind the spirit and lead it away.”

“Luckily, my hair is long enough.”

Wang Shanshan touched her long hair, revealing two braided strands hidden within. The braid wasn’t thick but was sufficient.

“Using hair to lead spirits away?” Yang Jian pondered for a moment and understood.

Spirits need to have contact with the living to follow them.

So the direct method would be holding hands.

But holding hands would bring extreme danger. Using hair might satisfy the condition without bringing danger?

Yang Jian was doubtful.

Wang Shanshan continued, “Binding spirits with hair also carries risks, but this method significantly reduces the dangers.”

“I see, but previously Liu Qi guessed that ordinary people carrying spirits would face lesser dangers. If you use hair and combine that with your identity as an ordinary person, perhaps it could work,” Yang Jian nodded.

To the surprise of both, this conversation verified a method to resurrect spirits trapped in Baishui Town,

Although whether this method works remains unknown, it is the best hypothesis for now.

At this moment.

Just as Wang Shanshan said, shortly after putting on the clothes, the Ghost Child, under the influence of Yang Jian’s command time, acted out of instinct and tore off the clothing, revealing its pale blue, deathly skin.

Seeing it was useless, Yang Jian didn’t bother further as it wasn’t a significant matter, just a piece of clothing. Once they left here, they’d let the Ghost Child wear the Ghost Shroud again.

The critical thing now is how to escape and leave here.

The human skin paper had now gone silent.

The twisted black words on it hadn’t disappeared, seemingly reminding Yang Jian, at six ten in the evening, you’d die, and your time alive was running out.

Knowing the information about his impending death did not worry Yang Jian.

He was more concerned about how he might die here?

If he could learn his death process through the human skin paper, Yang Jian could change things.

Yet, the human skin paper would not disclose it, leaving Yang Jian without crucial information.

“If we can’t find a way to leave before six o’clock, we might really end up dead here,” Yang Jian said.

Wan Shanshan, although looking indifferent, had a guilt-ridden look in her eyes: “It’s my fault for dragging you down. If it wasn’t for searching for me, you wouldn’t be here.”

Yang Jian said, “It’s not your fault; all supernatural events carry risks. The human skin paper waited for an opportunity, and you couldn’t resist its allure. Not only you, but under some circumstances, I also had to heed the human skin paper. The event has happened, and it’s unnecessary to dwell on it. Now let’s think clearly about what options we have to leave.”

He continued to think, still finding no answers.

Without crucial information, and with limited time, he couldn’t investigate and learn about this world from three years ago, leaving him with strength but nowhere to use it. Upon arrival, he attempted a reboot but couldn’t escape, proving how hard it was to leave here.

“Wait.” Suddenly, Yang Jian looked at the human skin paper in hand and thought of something.

“Did you have an idea?” Wan Shanshan asked.

Yang Jian’s eyes moved slightly: “This human skin paper we have was brought from the outside. Whether this is truly three years ago or not, at least from my prior investigations, all ghosts and supernatural items present here exist outside as well. This implies there’s another human skin paper in this world.”

“Since this human skin paper is unwilling to cooperate, the other one might be different.”

Wang Shanshan’s eyes lit up slightly: “You’re right, that’s one way. Perhaps the other human skin paper would be willing to share how to leave here.”

“Besides human skin paper, there’s also the Ghost Cabinet here, although it’s a secondary option,” Yang Jian said.

“But where do we find that human skin paper?” Wang Shanshan asked.

Yang Jian immediately said, “To No. 7 Middle School.”

“Fang Jing?” Wang Shanshan immediately realized who Yang Jian was going to find.

As someone who experienced the Ghost Door Knocker incident at No. 7 Middle School, Wang Shanshan certainly understood that the first owner of the human skin paper was not Yang Jian, but a fellow classmate back then, Fang Jing.

Even though the Door Knocking Ghost incident hasn’t happened now, there’s no guarantee Fang Jing hasn’t already gotten hold of the human skin paper. Even if he hasn’t, there would definitely be clues on him.

Soon.

He and Wang Shanshan utilized the Ghost Domain to directly appear within the teaching building of No. 7 Middle School.

The familiar teaching building awakened the memories of Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan from the past.

Yang Jian didn’t appear directly in the classroom to avoid attracting attention but instead showed up in the hallway.

At this time, classes were in session, so it was impossible for anyone to be in the hallway.

He and Wang Shanshan went up half a floor and arrived at the door to the classroom.

Through the window, a teacher could be seen teaching at the podium, most students were intently listening, with only a few lying on desks in the last row, sleeping lazily.

Yang Jian glanced at the teacher.

The Ghost Shadow invaded without hesitation, directly altering this teacher’s memory.

After completing all this, Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan pushed the door open and entered the classroom.

The sudden arrival of the two attracted a lot of attention.

“It’s Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan, why are they coming in just now?”

“Have you noticed that Yang Jian has become much more handsome, his charisma is different.”

“Are you blind? Wang Shanshan has become prettier, her skin is so white and tender, making people envious.”

The teacher teaching the class said at this moment: “The teacher has some urgent matters, today’s lesson will end here, the rest of the time is self-study, Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan, return to your seats, don’t be late again next time.”

After speaking, the teacher walked out of the classroom, leaving it to Yang Jian.

The other students were used to it and eagerly started reviewing.

However, Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan were not here for class; he fixed his gaze on Fang Jing sitting at the desk, and immediately walked over with big strides.

“Yang Jian.” Fang Jing was taken aback when he saw Yang Jian coming straight for him.

But the next moment.

Yang Jian reached out his palm and grasped Fang Jing’s neck, effortlessly lifting him from his seat.

Without any superfluous words, the Ghost Shadow invaded, directly extracting memories.

“Damn, Yang Jian is already so strong? Lifting a person with one hand, what’s wrong with Fang Jing, did he provoke Yang Jian somehow? Doesn’t he know Yang Jian’s reputation for being able to fight in our class?” Zhao Lei exclaimed from not far away.

“What’s the use of being able to fight, can he carry more bricks at the construction site? His exam scores are always at the bottom, and he’s doomed for the college entrance exam this time.”

“I don’t know about the exam, but I think Fang Jing is doomed this time.”

Amid the chatter, Yang Jian was rapidly extracting Fang Jing’s memory, while Fang Jing’s eyes turned black at this moment, his whole person seemed to freeze in mid-air, immobile.

“Yang Jian, what are you doing, fighting again? Quickly put Fang Jing down, did you hear me?”

A girl student scolded loudly and swiftly walked over to try to stop Yang Jian.

She seemed to be called Su Lei, had excellent grades, was pretty, and was also the class monitor.

But as soon as Su Lei came over, Wang Shanshan blocked her: “You’d better not interfere, Yang Jian and I are only after Fang Jing, it has nothing to do with anyone else.”

Su Lei stared at her in wide-eyed amazement.

She seemed not to have expected that Wang Shanshan’s relationship with Yang Jian would be so good, and would actually protect him so much at this moment.

“Explosive news, Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan’s relationship seems unusual, are they in love?” Many students watching the drama couldn’t help but shout.

“Su Lei, don’t be afraid of her, I’m with you.”

Some male students also patted their chests, indicating their support for her.

“What is Su Lei, thinking she can handle a real man, let Miao Xiaoshan try and she’s closer.”

An extremely arrogant voice rang out, it was unclear when Zhang Wei, who had been sleeping, woke up, and was now standing on his chair, angrily scolding others.

“Fang Jing is just Fang Jing, let him be beaten, I’ve long been fed up with him, have wanted to block him after school for a while now, Yang Jian, feel free to take action, I’ll pay the medical bills.”

“Zhang Wei, that’s enough, don’t make it worse than it already is?” some classmates started to stop him.

“What a noise.” Yang Jian’s face was indifferent, his eyes cold, casually tossing Fang Jing aside.

Fang Jing fell to the ground, his whole body aching, but when he raised his head, his eyes were filled with terror, looking at Yang Jian as if he had seen a ghost.

“You, what did you do to me?”

Yang Jian did not respond, instead he asked a question: “What is one plus one?”

“Three.” Fang Jing replied without hesitation.

Following that he was motionless, as if he’d lost his senses.

“Human skin paper, found it.”

Yang Jian paid no more attention to Fang Jing, having found traces of the human skin paper in his memory.

But the human skin paper was not on Fang Jing, it was at his home.

Fang Jing hadn’t realized the oddities of the human skin paper yet.
