Mysterious Revival-Chapter 869 - 836: The Confrontation at the Door

"That is a mirror, showing signs of refurbishment. It appears to be a very old supernatural item, always covered by a black cloth, its purpose unknown."

Inside the old taxi.

Liao Fan drove while glancing back at the Ghost Mirror placed on the back seat.

Curiosity inevitably arose in his mind.

Since moving it from Shangtong Tower, this mirror hadn't shown any strange traces.

"Exploring the use of supernatural items involves great risk, and even if curious, now is not the time to be curious," Xu Feng said abruptly as he sat beside, "But the supernatural items in Yang Jian's possession are far more than these, the rest must be in the Guanjiang Residential Complex."

Liao Fan withdrew his gaze and calmly said, "Xu Feng, based on my guess, there's likely a safehouse in Guanjiang Residential Complex. If I were Yang Jian, I would definitely put such special items inside a safehouse, it's both concealed and secure."

"Finding the safehouse is akin to finding Yang Jian's assets, and perhaps the Coffin Nail is in there too."

Xu Feng said, "There might also be the rest of Yang Jian's teammates in that Guanjiang Residential Complex, don't be careless. Pei Dong has already died, if another one of us dies, this mission would be considered a failure."

"The remaining few people should not be a concern."

Liao Fan said, "They're just some newcomers without much fame. The most threatening was Feng Quan, an experienced leader, so killing him first would make handling the rest easier. However, Tong Qian was unexpected, I thought she was an easy target, yet her laughter could create echoes."

"Pei Dong never mentioned this before."

Xu Feng said, "That was when Pei Dong caught Tong Qian last time, he used his supernatural power too restrainedly, fearing to harm innocents, so he held back a lot. He thought that was all she could do, not knowing the echo added a multiplying factor to the terror of the ghost laughter."

The two still felt a shiver down their spine thinking about that incident.

After all, if the last wave of laughter hadn't been interrupted, they would have been wiped out by now.

"Taking down Guanjiang Residential Complex might lead to more surprises, I think it's safer to send a message to that guy, asking him to come and provide support," Xu Feng reflected for a long time before suddenly speaking.

"Asking him to make a move would be costly, it's not worth it," Liao Fan shook his head and refused.

Xu Feng said, "Yang Jian has more than one supernatural item in his hands, the Coffin Nail, that rusty Firewood Knife, the Ghost Shroud are still with him... Adding this mirror, actually, we can afford the price, just consider it buying insurance."

Liao Fan's gaze flickered, hesitating.

Soon.

The two driving the decrepit old taxi, now declared a total loss, had reached the entrance of the Guanjiang Residential Complex.

The gate of the residential complex was now deserted.

It must be that they had already received the news and evacuated the people. After all, ordinary people facing the arrival of ghost wielders would not be effective, only increasing the casualties.

Yet at this moment, Liao Fan suddenly slammed on the brakes, accompanied by various creaking sounds from the old taxi as it came to a stop.

"Why not charge directly in?" Xu Feng asked.

"There's a situation."

Liao Fan said, "It seems that the few remaining have made preparations, waiting for us here. I can sense some anomalies, that should be... the security booth."

His gaze shifted.

He directly locked onto that security booth.

That security booth indeed looked odd.

It was clearly daytime, yet the booth was dim, as if no light reached inside, easily ignored if not observed carefully.

Liao Fan immediately turned on the taxi's headlights and shone them directly at it.

The yellow, dim headlights were very conspicuous even in daylight, forming two beams like those of nighttime.

The light enveloped the security booth.

The darkness inside the booth dispersed, revealing a person.

That person stood inside the booth, his gaze fixed here, seeming to have been monitoring the situation outside all along.

"He's a ghost wielder, and also a man. So, this person is... Li Yang, his codename is Ghost Door Blocker," Xu Feng also observed and immediately provided some crucial information.

"Then it's safer to just go ahead and crash into it."

Liao Fan's eyes revealed a hint of madness; he released the brake and stepped on the accelerator.

The old car roared loudly.

The car's exhaust pipe emitted thick smoke, within which was a stench of corpses, like rotting bodies burning, the smell somewhat resembling the Ghost Smoke that had enveloped Mingyue Community in Dachuan City before.

Then, the car instantly burst out.

It was unclear what kind of engine was fitted, but its horsepower was astonishingly high.

"Is it coming? Just as Xiong Wenwen had predicted."

Li Yang stood in the guardhouse with no intention to dodge; he simply reached out and touched the door of the guardhouse,

enveloping the tiny guardhouse with the supernatural power of the Ghost Door Blocker.

At this moment, the ghost could neither leave nor enter the guardhouse.

He could block other supernatural influences.

"Hmm? Not dodging?"

At this moment, Liao Fan frowned, realizing that the person inside the guardhouse had no intention to dodge and seemed to be deliberately standing there waiting for him to crash into him.

Was it negligence, thinking that this was just a regular car, and it wouldn't kill him?

No, that shouldn't be the case. Tong Qian should not be dead yet; by this time, she must have already notified them here to be on guard.

Information about the Ghost Taxi should have already been leaked.

"Knowing the danger of this taxi and still standing there, could this be a trap?"

Liao Fan thought this way, sensing something was off.

However, the Ghost Taxi was already in motion; he was relatively safe inside the car, and hitting people before had always worked without fail, so there was no reason to retreat just because of a slight doubt in his heart.

"Crash him."

Putting aside all thoughts, Liao Fan no longer hesitated.

"Bang!"

The next moment.

A loud boom echoed.

The taxi crashed into the guardhouse. It was the collision of one paranormal entity against another.

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

Liao Fan felt like the Ghost Taxi had hit a stone stump; normally, it should have passed through the guardhouse and hit the person inside out, right?

The Ghost Taxi was forcefully stopped by the guardhouse, but this old, nearly scrapped car was still intact, only the engine made a strange noise and suddenly lost its power, as if it was interfered with, and couldn't operate normally.

Meanwhile, the guardhouse, eroded by the supernatural, had caved in by more than half, and it was nearly falling apart; under normal circumstances, it should have already collapsed.

But as the light inside flickered, the darkness receded.

Li Yang's face was terrifyingly pale, and blood covered his nose and mouth as he leaned on the door and walked out of the guardhouse, staring intently at the taxi.

He used the influence of the Ghost Door Blocker on the guardhouse, luring Liao Fan to crash, all to forcibly stop this Ghost Taxi.

Just like Xiong Wenwen predicted, the car stopped.

Even a paranormal entity has its limits.

"Cough, cough."

Li Yang was in pain; he felt a severe pain all over his body, a ferocious ghost squirming in his chest, as if wanting to emerge from the door, and his body also showed signs of erosion, increasingly resembling a corpse.

If it had not been for the last time he went out with the captain to control the second ghost, this crash would have killed him already.

"It's more unbearable than I imagined, but at least I held on." Li Yang still had no expression on his face.

This kind of pain is nothing.

He is no longer the novice who knew nothing at the beginning.

"I underestimated you. If I'm not mistaken, you must be Li Yang," Liao Fan said as he opened the car door, his eyes coldly visible.

"Just you alone? Where are the other two?"

Li Yang!

While speaking.

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Li Yang, someone was calling his name, and it sounded like Yang Jian was behind him.

Captain?

A chill ran through Li Yang's heart, and he instinctively wanted to turn around.

But before he could turn around.

A clump of black, eerie hair blocked his vision, almost burying his head into that strange black hair.

"Don't turn around, it's not a person calling you, it's a ghost calling your name, and if you turn around, you're dead."

Huang Ziya stood behind him, her black hair hanging down, blocking his vision and preventing it from happening.

Li Yang was startled.

He instantly realized that this must be the Ghost Call that Tong Qian mentioned.

Once a living person turns around, they trigger the ghost's murderous rule, and death is certain.

Despite being prepared, facing it was still overpowering, and it was fortunate that Xiong Wenwen had anticipated this and had Huang Ziya appear behind him to prevent any accidents.

"You've already anticipated my Ghost Call. This can't be Tong Qian's information. I just got out of the car, and that person, Huang Ziya, already appeared behind Li Yang. It's as if you knew in advance that I would target Li Yang."

Realizing this, Liao Fan started to look ferocious: "Premonition?"

"It was that Xiong Wenwen, where is he? Come out," he growled.

This is the most mysterious and inexplicable ability in the supernatural circle, premonition.

"You think I would tell you?" Li Yang said expressionlessly.

Xu Feng took a big step forward, his mummy-like face twitching slightly: "I've read Xiong Wenwen's file, and he indeed has premonition, but I want to know whether in his premonition, you guys lost or won?"

"In the premonition, you guys lost. Both of you died here."

Li Yang spoke confidently, his tone somewhat resembling Yang Jian's.

Xu Feng paused in his steps, his face stiffened.

Li Yang narrowed his eyes, realizing in this moment why Yang Jian had become the captain. Even these two vicious criminals faltered when facing uncertain danger; he faltered, and thus, I became stronger.

And Yang Jian, he never faltered.

Thus, everyone in the supernatural circle knows, the formidable Ghost-Eyed Yang Jian.

"I don't believe this future." Xu Feng grinned in an ugly smile: "You are lying to me."

While he spoke, he continued to walk forward.

His Ghost Hug has a limited range; it's not unlimited, so he must get within a certain distance to be effective.

Of course, this is something he wouldn't share with others.

"Now your Dachang City team is left with just a few of you. You should know that Feng Quan and Zhang Han are already dead, Tong Qian is half-dead, and we've also been to Shangtong Tower, stormed your safe house, killed a few people, and took that mirror; and in all this, Yang Jian never showed up."

"He's finished, yet you still want to desperately hold out here? If you run away obediently, we won't pursue you to the death."

Li Yang remained silent, only saying: "You've crossed the line."

Hmm?

Xu Feng's gaze shifted slightly as he glanced downward.

Indeed, his foot had crossed a yellow plastic line that marked the no-parking zone at the entrance of the residential complex.

"Therefore, you must die."

Li Yang had only just begun to speak when the clothes on his chest were suddenly torn to shreds.

The skin writhed as if it were a door, and behind that door, a ferocious ghost squirmed beneath the flesh, wailing, trying to break out, but then it stopped, only revealing a pair of malevolent eyes, as if possessed by an evil spirit, causing one's scalp to tingle.

In an instant.

Xu Feng felt a tremendous pulling force.

At this moment, he felt targeted by the fierce ghost, about to be dragged through that door.

"Damn it."

In that instant, Xu Feng realized what that line beneath his feet was.

It was the range of Li Yang's supernatural influence.

"This guy has controlled a second ghost, act quickly."

Xu Feng shouted, stabilizing his body as much as possible while without hesitation, he tapped into the ghost's power within him.

A cold breath suddenly approached Li Yang and Huang Ziya.

Suddenly.

An invisible rigid corpse abruptly embraced the two.

An intense chill penetrated their bodies, rendering them almost immobile as if they were completely bound.

Huang Ziya gritted her teeth; the ghost was in the recovery phase, and her waist-length black hair suddenly grew longer and denser, enveloping both herself and Li Yang in front of her.

The ghost hair almost engulfed Li Yang.

But it blocked the attack from the ghostly embrace.

To the naked eye, a human silhouette with long arms tightly bound the two was displayed upon that thick hair.

Liao Fan was just about to make a move, but the next moment, a bizarrely colored barefoot child ran past.

"A ghost?"

Startled in his heart.

"Eat him," a cold and light voice commanded.

A young and beautiful woman dressed in a long white down jacket, resembling an ice maiden, slowly emerged from behind the wall of the complex's main gate.

Wang Shanshan, expressionless, her eyelashes flickered as she monitored the situation of the Ghost Child.

The Ghost Child was fierce.

Fiercely unreasonable, it only obeyed the orders of Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan.

Now, at the command, the Ghost Child immediately changed its killing pattern and directly pounced on Liao Fan.

"What the hell is that?"

Before Liao Fan could see clearly, that grotesquely colored creature, resembling a dead infant, charged at him.

It was a child about seven or eight years old.

Dressed in a dirty, old shroud, the kind only worn by the dead.

And at this moment, without a word, it embraced Liao Fan and bit him, truly as if it wanted to devour him alive.
