Mysterious Revival

Wang Chaling did not expect such a major accident to occur before his plan even started to be executed.

“Bang! Bang!”

The dull sound of impact echoed through the silent, oppressive underground safe house.

The force of the impact was great, causing vibrations that traveled to the ceiling outside, and Wang Chaling even felt dust falling from above.

However, at this moment, Wang Chaling had already abandoned his fantasies and was prepared to face the imminent escape of the Hungry Ghost.

“The intelligence on the Hungry Ghost is already very clear, and the killing pattern is well understood. My chances of winning are not small.” Wang Chaling glanced at his grandparents, who looked like memorial photos behind him, gradually gaining confidence.

But to be safe, he still left the information about the Hungry Ghost on his phone.

If he failed, then the information about the Hungry Ghost would be sent to headquarters in twenty minutes, allowing them to understand the situation in Dadong City first.

Afterward, Wang Chaling prepared some life-saving measures to avoid dying muddle-headedly during the supernatural confrontation.

The huge impact sounds continued to ring out.

At this moment, Wang Chaling was in full battle mode, staring intently at the soon-to-be-damaged safe house.

The sounds of impact lasted for about ten minutes, finally stopping abruptly as the door bulged and deformed, creating a crack.

The glass on the door didn’t shatter completely, but the door couldn’t hold out any longer.

“Zhi! Zhi!” Read complete version only at N()velFire.net

Then, the lights in the safe house began to flicker, and the surrounding light rapidly disappeared at a visible speed.

A layer of blue-black mist began to leak uncontrollably from the room, spreading rapidly like dense fog throughout the basement, eventually covering the entire space and even expanding outward.

“This is the Hungry Ghost’s Ghost Domain. This ghost’s domain is surprisingly large and can easily cover a city.” Wang Chaling looked at the mist around him, and it was exactly as the data described.

However, there was no mist around him.

The ghost beside him also possessed a Ghost Domain, even stronger than the Hungry Ghost’s domain, so there was no worry about its domain being invaded.

“Since the Ghost Domain has already appeared, it means the Hungry Ghost has likely emerged from the room. In that case, there can be no more hesitation.” Wang Chaling felt it was time to act.

He glanced at his grandparents.

“Invade the Hungry Ghost’s Ghost Domain and help me capture that vile ghost.”

Wang Chaling issued the command, directing his grandparents who had died many years ago.

After hearing Wang Chaling’s words, the old couple’s necks stiffly turned, their lifeless eyes gazing into the depths of the blue-black mist, their movements synchronized as they walked forward.

With each step the two elders took, the surrounding mist dissipated slightly.

In front of these terrifying elders, the Hungry Ghost’s domain seemed insignificant, and if this continued, the Hungry Ghost’s domain would be completely sealed off.

At this moment, the first wave of the Ghost Domain confrontation clearly saw Wang Chaling with the upper hand.

However, as the blue-black mist quickly dissipated and the dark basement was revealed again, a figure emerged, blending with the surroundings. The figure wasn’t tall, but was very thin, with a swollen belly like a pregnant woman.

“The Hungry Ghost has appeared.” Wang Chaling did not speak; he simply watched from behind his parents.

The Hungry Ghost’s killing pattern was terrifying—once heard, seen, or touched, you would be targeted, and even breathing the blue-black mist would lead to spiritual erosion, a truly frightening prospect.

The terrifying elders had already fixed their gaze on the Hungry Ghost and were steadily approaching.

The Hungry Ghost’s Ghost Domain was shrinking, making it incredibly difficult to hide itself; now it could only stand still, seemingly pressed against the wall by the deceased grandparents of Wang Chaling.

“If all goes smoothly, the Hungry Ghost can be re-imprisoned.” Wang Chaling took a deep breath, feeling intensely nervous.

Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly, but then the Hungry Ghost suddenly made a move—a blue-black arm raised, swiftly lunging forward and seizing hold of one of the elders.

It was Wang Chaling’s grandmother, who showed no reaction to the Hungry Ghost’s attack.

No, it wasn’t that she didn’t react; she couldn’t react.

Soon after.

The blue-black mist surged again, swallowing the entire basement in an instant, plunging the surroundings back into darkness.

“Not good.” Wang Chaling’s face changed drastically.

He thought his grandparents could successfully imprison the Hungry Ghost, but hadn’t anticipated such a turn of events—the Hungry Ghost seemed more terrifying than the records indicated.

The supernatural confrontation continued.

Wang Chaling had not lost yet—his grandfather was still around, his parents were still present, and there remained a chance for victory.

But as time passed, the greenish-black gloom unknowingly rushed out of the basement, spreading in all directions, and began to rapidly permeate Dadong City.

Obviously, Wang Chaling, who is in charge of Dadong City, even after using the supernatural power of four fierce ghosts, couldn’t detain the ghost again. Instead, with the Hungry Ghost breaking free, a terrifying supernatural event is brewing.

These changes happened too quickly, even the headquarters couldn’t react immediately.

Yang Jian in Dachang City was still on vacation. He was completely unaware of the huge shifts in the supernatural world within a day and was still planning how to resolve the supernatural event of the Black Umbrella.

However, now he was in the office, playing games on his computer with Zhang Wei from the downstairs office.

It was a rare moment of leisure.

No one disturbed him at this time, and even when some company matters required Yang Jian’s attention, Zhang Liqin quietly held them off, reporting to him later.

But Zhang Liqin could fend off all company-related matters, ignore many calls, yet there was one call she paid attention to.

It was a call from Wang Shanshan, residing at the Guanjiang Residential Complex: “I need to speak to Yang Jian, it’s something important related to the Ghost Child. Please have Yang Jian take the call.”

“Wang Shanshan, please hold on, President Yang is currently busy, I’ll go and ask him.” Zhang Liqin dared not disregard the call and immediately took the phone to Yang Jian.

At that moment, Yang Jian was focused on the computer screen, engrossed in his game, trying to recapture the feeling from before.

“President Yang, Wang Shanshan wants to speak to you, it’s about the Ghost Child,” Zhang Liqin whispered.

Yang Jian stopped his hand, turned around immediately, then muted the game volume, saying, “Wang Shanshan, it’s me. What happened?”

Wang Shanshan would never call him for no reason. Whenever she reached out, there was definitely something very important.

“There’s something wrong with the Ghost Child. A greenish-black Ghost Domain is starting to form around it. This supernatural power shouldn’t belong to it. You remember the Hungry Ghost incident, right? I think this is a signal,” Wang Shanshan’s voice carried a hint of gravity.

Yang Jian’s gaze immediately sharpened: “Is there any problem with the Ghost Child now?”

“No problem for now, everything is normal,” Wang Shanshan said.

“Your analysis is correct, the greenish-black Ghost Domain belongs to the supernatural power of the Hungry Ghost. Ever since the Hungry Ghost was detained, this supernatural force dissipated. Now that this supernatural trait is reappearing with the Ghost Child, there is only one possibility: the Hungry Ghost incident is likely to re-emerge. I’ll investigate this, just keep an eye on the Ghost Child, inform me immediately if there’s any development.”

With his rich supernatural experience, Yang Jian immediately grasped the situation.

The emergence of the Ghost Child stemmed from the Hungry Ghost. Although eventually freed from its influence, there remains a supernatural connection.

“The Hungry Ghost disappeared ever since it was stolen from the headquarters. Today, this hidden danger has finally surfaced?”

Yang Jian took a deep breath, hung up Wang Shanshan’s call, then said into his earpiece, “Ah Wei, something came up, we’ll have to stop here for today.”

“No worries, how could I mind you ditching me? It’s not the first time anyway.”

Zhang Wei’s voice came through, sounding quite magnanimous, while discreetly feeling for the axe hidden under his desk where Yang Jian couldn’t see.

“Let’s play again next time.”

After Yang Jian finished talking, he turned off the computer, then said, “Have Liu Xiaoyu come up.”

“Okay, President Yang.”

Zhang Liqin observed the seriousness of the situation and quickly left at a jog.

In the office, Li Yang, who was on duty today, asked, “Captain, what happened? I heard it’s related to the Hungry Ghost, has the Hungry Ghost incident surfaced again?”

“Not clear yet. There’s a slight anomaly with the Ghost Child. I have to link it to the missing Hungry Ghost from headquarters,” Yang Jian said.

“If it really is a Hungry Ghost incident, that would be quite serious.” Li Yang pondered.

“I hope I’m overthinking it, but it’s safer to investigate anyway,” Yang Jian said.

Soon, Liu Xiaoyu arrived in the office at a quick pace and asked, “Yang Jian, what’s going on? Your secretary said you urgently need to speak with me.”

Yang Jian said, “Immediately contact headquarters, call Cao Yanhua directly, get all the intelligence personnel moving, and check for me. Tell him the Hungry Ghost incident might have re-surfaced, check if any domestic city has an issue.”

“Is it that serious?” Liu Xiaoyu’s eyes widened in shock.

“I understand, I’ll contact headquarters immediately.”

With that, Liu Xiaoyu quickly ran back to the downstairs office.

Even though Yang Jian had no direct evidence for anything, his word was command. Everyone must trust the judgment of an Enforcement Captain. Even if it’s a misjudgment, if Yang Jian says investigate, then headquarters must cooperate.

“The Hungry Ghost has been stolen for quite some time. Assuming the Hungry Ghost incident is really happening again, who would be so mad to release the Hungry Ghost? Aren’t they afraid of becoming a pariah in the supernatural circle? Or did something go wrong with the Hungry Ghost itself, or perhaps the thief couldn’t control it, inadvertently causing disaster,” Yang Jian pondered, instinctively thinking through worst-case scenarios.

Even now, he wasn’t keen on seeing the Hungry Ghost incident unfold, as it is an S-level supernatural event. Even if it can be handled afterward, many lives would still be lost.
