Mysterious Revival-Chapter 870 - 837: The Safe House that was Opened

Xu Feng and Liao Fan did not expect Yang Jian's small team to have such strong resilience.

Besides the missing Yang Jian, top members like Tong Qian and Feng Quan were gone, yet the remaining members could still fight to this extent. They managed to stop the Ghost Taxi, restrain the Ghost Call, and even counterattacked.

They were just a few insignificant characters, likely to mysteriously disappear tomorrow within the Supernatural Circle, yet they proved surprisingly difficult to handle.

"Bang!"

Xu Feng, who looked like a dried corpse, was thrown out by that Supernatural Power, directly colliding with Li Yang.

His body twisted and deformed.

A terrifying ghost was pulling him into Li Yang's body, merging into the door formed by scars on the skin.

This power was not something normal humans could contend with; it was so strong that it could physically twist and contort a body into a pretzel.

However, Xu Feng's body was extraordinary; it had been eroded by several kinds of Supernatural Powers, and he had survived, so he wasn't as frail as imagined. He was still resisting and struggling.

"Damn it, you have controlled a second ghost, when did this happen?"

He was both shocked and furious, his withered cheeks roaring.

He panicked.

Because Li Yang exceeded his expectations, this guy was not an insignificant character, but a ghost master capable of using two powerful ghosts.

In this era, controlling two ghosts was not uncommon, but if one had strong abilities, they could be considered a master.

Like Tong Qian, who almost annihilated them.

This Li Yang was no less formidable, although not as difficult to deal with as Tong Qian, but not someone he could easily defeat.

"You're dead."

At this moment, Li Yang instead tightly embraced Xu Feng, as if he was the real ghost embracing a person.

"Aren't you afraid of the ghost reviving before killing me?"

Xu Feng struggled, his face fierce, but no matter what, he couldn't break free from this bind and could only watch as his body gradually sank.

It seemed to be pulled into Li Yang's chest, merging into his flesh.

Soon.

One of his hands went in.

Then, Xu Feng horrifiedly realized that the inside of Li Yang's body was hollow, containing no flesh and bones, just cold, stiff hands.

It was a ghost.

At this moment, that ghost was pulling his arm further inside.

"Even if I die, it's worth it."

Li Yang was determined and unyielding, although his face showed pain.

The Ghost's embrace attack continued.

The body tightened increasingly, even Huang Ziya's Ghost Hair resistance could still feel the terror of that thing.

He was genuinely embraced by a ghost.

Huang Ziya was also gritting her teeth and groaning lowly, feeling her body being gradually crushed.

But she held onto the crystal necklace hanging around her neck.

Ghost Conman was repairing her body.

Defending against Supernatural injuries.

The pure and flawless crystal visibly darkened, becoming contaminated.

Both Li Yang and Huang Ziya were not anomalies, this drain was very fatal for them, but in a life-and-death fight, no one could back down because fighting had a possibility of survival, not fighting only meant a quicker death.

"Liao Fan."

Xu Feng felt he could not resist any longer, half his body already pulled in, and he began to panic, signaling for help.

"It's useless, our target was to kill you first, Liao Fan still lacks clear information, so we arranged Ghost Child to deal with him, that thing is almost equivalent to a real ghost, even if it cannot kill him right away, he definitely can't get away." While enduring pain, Li Yang also extinguished Xu Feng's hopes.

This plan wasn't devised by him but by Xiong Wenwen.

Although a child, he had foresight, so this was the best outcome.

And reality was indeed unfolding as foreseen, without deviation.

As long as it continued like this.

They could win.

Meanwhile, Liao Fan was desperately trying to get rid of this ghostly entity on him, he had no time to help Xu Feng. He attempted to use Ghost Call to stop Ghost Child, but failed.

Ghost Child just curiously glanced back, paused a moment, and then continued to attack him.

He was not killed by Ghost Call.

"Ghost Shroud, it's this Ghost Shroud, damn it, Yang Jian actually put the Ghost Shroud on this thing, he was actually nurturing a ghost." Liao Fan now utterly despised Yang Jian.

Wherever this ghostly thing bit, the clothes would rapidly decay.

And it stuck to the body unable to be shaken off; when he reached out to stop it, a large chunk of his hand was bitten off.

Strangely, where Liao Fan's palm was bitten off, there was only a thin layer of human skin, no flesh and blood inside, just packed with black, foul-smelling cotton.

Yes.

You saw it right.

As the thick down jacket on Liao Fan decayed due to the corpse fluid, a broken and incomplete body appeared in front of everyone.

It was a body sewn together with scraps of human skin and fabric, filled entirely with things like cotton, straw, and that sort of material, and there were also wooden rods to serve as the body's support.

He had long lost a living person's body and was only able to survive by relying on supernatural power.

To truly describe his appearance, he looked more like a scarecrow.

"I can't let this thing keep biting me, otherwise I will really be torn into pieces by this ghost thing," Liao Fan felt more and more parts of his body dropping off.

If it exceeded a certain limit, he would lose the ability to move.

At that point, it would be no different than being dead.

But in normal times, he would have no issues, whether targeted by a ghost or attacked by supernatural forces, as long as he remained still he could survive, and even avoid being harmed by supernatural power, but this wouldn't work.

This thing's attack was relentless.

He couldn't evade this kind of attack.

It really was somewhat restraining him.

Liao Fan wanted to ask Xu Feng for help, but it turned out Xu Feng was even worse off, his body had broken, about to be pulled into someone else's body.

"If only Pei Dong hadn't died."

He gnashed his teeth with rage, but his mouth was sealed off, and he also had no teeth.

With the leak of information and their team short of people, they no longer had the upper hand; without the ability to rely on Ghost Taxi, they immediately fell into a disadvantage.

His body was being slowly torn apart.

Liao Fan was powerless to stop it, and could only watch haplessly as everything unfolded; his Ghost Call was of no effect now on anyone, as people were already on guard, after all, Ghost Call only entices people to look back, not force them to.

"Hold on, they can't last much longer, they're all going to die."

At this moment, Xiong Wenwen suddenly popped up from nowhere, shouting loudly, "Just like the premonition, these two shameless bastards are about to die at the hands of Daddy Xiong, in revenge for Tong Qian."

He had no fighting capability, only able to cheer from the sideline.

"Xiong Wenwen? I'll kill you." Liao Fan's eyes seemed bloodshot, as he said fiercely and ferociously.

It was all because of this child, who had foreseen everything and set this plan in motion.

Otherwise, how could the two of them end up like this?

He wanted to use Ghost Call to kill Xiong Wenwen, but before he could act, Xiong Wenwen immediately covered his ears and turned to run.

"Damn brat."

Seeing that he had already run away ahead of time, Liao Fan knew he couldn't kill him anymore, so he immediately changed his mind, withstood the attack from Ghost Child, and took out his phone to dial a number.

"Hello, I agree to the condition."

"Location."

"Dachang City, Guanjiang Residential Complex."

"Is Yang Jian there?"

"No bloody way, we've been fighting till now and Yang Jian hasn't shown up, he must be dead."

"Okay."

The phone conversation ended.

And as soon as the phone ended, Xiong Wenwen, who was originally about to run away, suddenly stopped in his tracks, then panic-stricken, he shouted, "Li Yang, Huang Ziya, Wang Shanshan, bad news, bad news, another person is coming to Dachang City, he will arrive soon, hurry up, hurry up, ah, can't get away, hurry up and kill those two, hurry."

Xiong Wenwen was very urgent, as if he foresaw something very bad happening.

What?

For a moment, Li Yang and Huang Ziya were stunned.

Another person?

But before they could finish speaking, the bright daylight suddenly dimmed.

It was as if the light was abruptly taken away; although the sunlight was still there, it was dim and lightless, although there was still light far away, this place seemed to have fallen into darkness, and at the same time, an unpleasant odor began to fill the air, smelling like the rotting scent after a corpse swells.

"Ghost Domain?"

Li Yang and Huang Ziya were shocked instantly.

The next moment.

In a shadowy corner nearby, a man with dark purple complexion and slightly swollen skin eerily emerged.

As soon as he appeared, Liao Fan and Xu Feng immediately escaped the dangerous situation they were attacked in and appeared right next to him.

The Ghost Domain relocated the two men.

Even so, the two were still in a bad state. Liao Fan's leg was broken, his body pockmarked, barely able to bear his weight anymore. Xu Feng had it even worse, his waist broken and an arm ripped off by something, his body grotesquely twisted as if he couldn't recover, turning into a deformed mummy.

"Gu Cheng, you arrived quickly; a moment later and we would have been dead," Xu Feng said with lingering fear.

Liao Fan didn't say a word, his eyelid twitching because he saw the Ghost Child charging at them again: "Dammit, it's coming again?"

The man named Gu Cheng glanced, and the Ghost Child immediately vanished: "I've transferred this ghostly thing elsewhere for now; it won't attack for the time being. It seems Yang Jian really isn't here; his Ghost Domain is stronger than mine. If we really battled, my Ghost Domain would be useless. But we need to hurry, grab the item, and leave. I don't want any accidents."

"It's over, over, they've called for help, we've definitely lost now," Xiong Wenwen said, feeling a bad premonition and panicked instantly.

"I don't recognize this person, but since he has the Ghost Domain, he must be tough to handle," Li Yang recalled the information in his mind, but none fit.

Huang Ziya said, "A civilian ghost master, definitely not on any official records."

"Be careful, the situation is not in our favor," Li Yang took a deep breath, wiping the blood from his nose.

At that moment, Xu Feng said, "Gu Cheng, help me kill them."

"That's not within the scope of our agreement; I'll take the item and leave," Gu Cheng said, his face swollen, his voice slightly sluggish as if he was overweight.

Xu Feng's face changed, this guy was ruthless enough. If he didn't eliminate these people today, he would definitely be targeted for retaliation later and wouldn't be able to rest easy.

Clearly, he came only to gain an advantage without suffering any losses.

As expected.

This helper wasn't so easy to employ.

"I've found the safe house, follow me," Gu Cheng said and immediately vanished with the two men from that spot.

Li Yang's face changed abruptly: "Hurry, stop them now."

Huang Ziya stumbled, almost falling, she bittersweetly said: "How to stop them, this person has the Ghost Domain. Without Feng Quan and Yang Jian, we have no chance of defeating him."

Those who possess the Ghost Domain are rare because it's too hard to control, often leading to death from ghost resurgence.

Thus, only some top figures have the Ghost Domain.

Such as Yang Jian, such as Fang Shiming, such as Ye Zhen, Li Leping.

Of course, there are also a few lucky ones, but those are very few.

"If I go to safe house number one and block the door, there might be a chance. If it doesn't work, I'll just die there, and when my ghost resurges, no one will dare to enter that place. Even the Ghost Domain can't affect it," Li Yang said.

Then, without another word, he turned and left.

Huang Ziya was conflicted, unsure whether to keep fighting. Looking down at her crystal necklace, which had almost turned black, perhaps another use or two and the ghost would resurge.

"Xiong Wenwen, use your foresight one more time, to the maximum extent, say if there's a chance," Huang Ziya said.

Xiong Wenwen responded, "Foresight involving supernatural elements might deviate, accuracy can't be guaranteed. If my predictions were only about ordinary people, then they would be 100% accurate, but when it involves the supernatural, things can change. Right now, I feel like we're definitely going to die if we go, that person... is very powerful."

"How powerful?" Huang Ziya asked.

Xiong Wenwen thought for a moment: "He could probably just manage to be a team leader, luckily he changed his mind because in my prediction, we all got killed by him."

Huang Ziya's eyes narrowed.

This was a problem.

Out of nowhere, such a powerful character emerged, one completely unheard of before.

"This should be the place, there are two safe houses here, but I think this safe house is the correct one," Gu Cheng led Xu Feng and Liao Fan to the door of an underground safe house.

This is safe house number one.

Also, where Yang Jian is in slumber.

"Open the door," Gu Cheng ordered, his tone sluggish.

Xu Feng's face twitched slightly. He and Gu Cheng had met on a supernatural bus, but by the time Xu Feng boarded, Gu Cheng had already been on it for a while and only got off after spending quite some time there.

This guy seemed to have let his own ghost enter a state of deadlock to some extent.

Almost an aberration.

"Just opening the door like that, aren't you afraid of any problems?" Liao Fan asked.

"If there's a problem, we'll just leave. If Yang Jian really isn't in Dachang City, there's nothing that can kill me," Gu Cheng responded.

Xu Feng remained silent as he forcibly opened the door of the safehouse.

The so-called safehouse guards against supernatural incidents, but it can't prevent man-made destruction, because ghosts need to trigger rules to kill. The safehouse can block the ghosts' perception.

But humans do not need to adhere to this rule.

This is also the advantage of a ghost controller.

Upon opening it, everything in it was immediately exposed to everyone present.

A steel coffin was placed in the middle of the room, already sealed.

The room also contained several gold boxes.

"No mistake, this is Yang Jian's safehouse. All his supernatural items and imprisoned evil spirits are stored here," Xu Feng said, looking around with some excitement.

"I only want the Coffin Nail, the rest is up to you," Gu Cheng blunted briefly before continuing.

His goal turned out to be for the Coffin Nail as well.

If talking about the most precious supernatural item in the Supernatural Circle, without a doubt, it is the Coffin Nail.

It's known that this item has nailed down a Hungry Ghost and killed Ye Zhen.

And it has no side effects when used.

It is almost considered a Strategic Level resource by now, if it weren't held in Yang Jian's hand, people would have teamed up to steal it long ago.

The gaze of Xu Feng and Liao Fan immediately darkened.

"What, you disagree?"

Gu Cheng sneered, "But since I have come, whether you agree or not, I must leave with something, considering the huge risks I've taken to support you."

"Fine, you can have it," Xu Feng said reluctantly.

They were under the Pendulum Clock curse, with their lives on a countdown. If they couldn't extend the timer, then nothing else would matter.

And now was not the time to turn against Gu Cheng.

Soon.

The three of them searched around.

They found the Ghost Porcelain, the embroidered shoes, and the dismembered puppet doll.

But they couldn't find the Coffin Nail or that rusty and bizarre Firewood Knife.

"No, didn't find it."

"Neither did I."

Gu Cheng had been watching the whole time; he knew Xu Feng and Liao Fan weren't lying.

Indeed, these two most important items were not found.

Eventually, the three of them focused their gaze on the most conspicuous iron coffin.

"Such important items are likely brought inside the coffin by Yang Jian, we need to open the coffin," Liao Fan said with a shift in his gaze.

"Yang Jian's body is likely inside, if so, it's probably in a state of revival now, opening the coffin is very dangerous."

Xu Feng touched the cold metal of the coffin lid, his sense of unease rapidly magnifying.

Liao Fan added, "Maybe the Coffin Nail is inserted in Yang Jian's own body. Since he's dead, to prevent his own ghost from reviving, he restricted himself."

"Let's take the coffin outside to open it and see. If we encounter danger, we'll retreat immediately. This place is too cramped and once there's trouble, it's easy to get trapped," Gu Cheng turned and said, still insisting on opening the coffin.

The two men looked at each other and both nodded.

After all, not only the Coffin Nail, the Firewood Knife was also missing.

This crucial trip would be a great loss if they didn't secure the most important supernatural items.

After taking some items from the safehouse, they carried the metal coffin out of the safehouse and into the residential complex.

"Just in case, I'll go bring the taxi here. If anyone tries to meddle, Gu Cheng, you'll have to help me take them down," Liao Fan said.

"Don't worry, no one will cause trouble, if they dare come, I'll slaughter them all," Gu Cheng also remained coldly detached.

For someone like him, taking a few lives really didn't weigh on his mind.

It was just that he didn't want to waste time dealing with Li Yang and the others, simply wasting his abilities.
