Mysterious Awakening-Chapter 595: The Second Wave Strikes

"Three people remain, as well as a head that can't be sent away, suspected to be a ghost in the midst of revival."

At this very moment, within a tall building nearby, Yang Jian stared distantly at the top few floors of Ping'an Tower, which had just been affected by his level five Ghost Domain, clearly witnessing what had just happened there.

Although his attack was strange and swift, catching them off guard.

But the people in the circle of friends were, after all, ghost masters, with quick reflexes, and immediately chose to use the powers of their ghosts to resist; it's just that most were a bit too fragile to withstand it, and were sent away by Yang Jian's level five Ghost Domain. Some simply couldn't hold on and died due to the resurgence of fierce ghosts and were then sent away as well.

This move didn't have the anticipated effect, but it at least took care of many insignificant characters in the circle of friends.

"That Jang Shangbai is actually wearing the Ghost Shroud from the Hungry Ghost... Headquarters really did deal with the Hungry Ghost, just didn't expect the shroud to appear on this guy."

Yang Jian's face turned slightly cold as he looked at the clothes that were left behind after Jang Shangbai's suit disappeared.

Originally, Jang Shangbai would have died too, but the Ghost Shroud blocked the attack from the ghost's eye.

Just like what happened with Ye Feng back in Dachang City.

"Had I known this, I wouldn't have been so cautious at the time; I should've simply stripped off the Ghost Shroud from the Hungry Ghost."

He was truly frightened when he fought the Hungry Ghost, and even though he had the Coffin Nails, Yang Jian didn't dare to touch that thing, fearing that any movement might break the balance and make the restraint of the Coffin Nails ineffective; after all, he had staked his life on that containment.

But half a year later, some people actually dared to strip the clothes off the Hungry Ghost, not knowing whether to say they were ignorantly fearless or recklessly bold.

"No matter, stripping this guy's clothes today will do just as well. Taking the shroud from him is certainly better than having to make contact with the Hungry Ghost again." Yang Jian narrowed his eyes without any hesitation.

However, the only thing that struck him as unusual was that Fang Shiming.

The Ghost Eye's attack did not affect that guy; he seemed to have used some method to isolate himself from the influence of the level five Ghost Domain, leaving not a single trace of effect on him.

As for that man who seems to be called Wu Yun...

He was just lucky to have survived; he would undoubtedly die in the next attack, unable to endure that condition.

"So, the one I need to watch next is Fang Shiming, he's indeed very special, even without possessing the Ghost Scissors, he's different from other ghost masters... an outlier, perhaps?" Yang Jian did not rush to strike again.

He wanted to think and analyze the situation.

Even with the curse of the Eight-Tone Music Box, which could strike directly, it wasn't in his nature.

He didn't fully trust that the curse of the Eight-Tone Music Box was invincible. If he acted recklessly and a ghost's power rendered the music box's curse ineffective, wouldn't he be doomed?

Though the possibility might be low, it wasn't nonexistent.

Especially now, in desperate times, a single slip could lead to death, so Yang Jian needed to ensure that every attack was effective, at the very least killing one person.

"Should I try the level six Ghost Domain?" Yang Jian pondered.

He had never used the level six Ghost Domain before, and currently, he could only maintain the long-lasting level five Ghost Domain, ensuring that some less terrifying fierce ghosts, including people and buildings, could be made to disappear. This disappearance, however, was only temporary and he was uncertain how long it would last, but eventually, these vanished ghosts were bound to reappear.

"No, there's no need; the level six Ghost Domain comes with risks, and it would be problematic if it affected the curse of the Eight-Tone Music Box."

Yang Jian dared not risk making such a terrifying attempt without good reason; he now possessed a measure of immortality, with a high margin for error, so continuous attacks were the right approach, with no need to pursue the limits of ghostly powers.

With that, he looked at his own ghastly pale hand devoid of any blood color.

The Ghost Hand could suppress three ghosts to the utmost without maintaining its balance.

Usually, this hand wasn't of much use, and it mainly served to preserve his life, but now, for other ghost masters, the Ghost Hand was the deadliest thing, because without self-imposed restrictions, its terrifyi

The next moment,

He disappeared once again.

This time, Yang Jian decided to directly invade their midst.

Faced with the imminent second attack from Yang Jian,

The few remaining people had no awareness of it and even started arguing about the previous incident.

"President Fang, let's hurry and leave. Since the ghost has attacked us once, it might very well attack us a second time. Everyone knows ghosts cannot be killed, and if we suffer another attack like that, we'll be drained to death. With such heavy losses and so many people gone, even headquarters should have nothing more to say."

Wu Yun looked urgent, very afraid.

Besides being terrified of the scene that had just unfolded, he was also worried about other ghosts that might be reviving nearby. Although most of them had vanished with their human counterparts, Liu Dong's shriveled, rotting Dead Man's Head was still left behind.

The eyes of that Dead Man's Head were still rolling around chaotically, making it impossible not to worry.

"Let's go to the safe house and stay for a while. If we confirm everything is okay, then we'll find a chance to leave," Fang Shiming spoke, then explained, "If we're really being targeted by a ghost, we might get attacked no matter where we go, so running away is pointless. We need to confirm the situation first. Although many have died this time, it's not a big issue; there are plenty of alternatives for a replacement, and we can promote a new group later. We won't be affected."

He sounded like a CEO of a company, planning to recruit a new batch as managers and employees leave.

As long as he didn't die, his circle of friends would not collapse.

And he did not believe such supernatural events could ever defeat him.

"Take Liu Dong's head with us. That thing is very dangerous, and we can't just leave it here, and besides, it might be useful at some time," Jang Shangbai added.

Wu Yun, whose status wasn't high, could only reluctantly and carefully wrap up the head.

This was the head of a ghost. You absolutely could not let yourself be targeted, or things would become very difficult to handle. It was okay when Liu Dong was alive, but now that he's dead, a vengeful ghost reviving would be even more terrifying.

Along with finding no gold or anything, they could only use ordinary clothes to wrap the head, but this should not pose a problem for the time being. They would deal with it after reaching the safe house.

"Jang Shangbai, don't you need the Ghost Domain? Are you just going to walk there directly?" Wu Yun asked holding the perilous, rotting head.

Jang Shangbai's face darkened, "My Ghost Domain is suppressed, Yang Jian's Ghost Eye is a bit more powerful."

"We'll take the stairs," Fang Shiming suggested.

When Ghost Domains collide, they generally lead to two outcomes: the weaker Ghost Domain is suppressed and becomes unusable, or the Ghost Domains can be used, but they interfere with each other, failing to function as normal.

The latter is okay since the interference isn't significant, but for the former, it's bad luck, virtually nullifying a ghost's power.

Jang Shangbai fell into the latter category – his Ghost Domain was outright suppressed by the Ghost Eye's Ghost Domain, rendering it unusable.

However, just as the three of them were about to temporarily retreat to the safe house for protection, their bodies suddenly experienced an abnormal sensation.

A cold, bluish Dead Man's Hand had somehow grabbed their ankles without notice, seemingly as if a fierce ghost was preventing their departure.

"Is this, this the second attack?" Wu Yun's face was filled with terror, his body shaking.

It wasn't just him who experienced this mysterious attack; not only were Jang Shangbai's ankles grabbed, but another hand had suddenly appeared and grabbed his shoulder. Beyond that, he felt fingers wriggling behind his head, as if a corpse was reaching out to touch the back of his skull.

The chilling and penetrating cold that struck made one's hairs stand on end in an instant.

Fang Shiming had even more Dead Man's Hands emerging from his body, from his clothes, sleeves, trouser legs...even his mouth had fingers coming out of it.

At this moment, even he, always calm, showed a surprised expression.

Because Fang Shiming felt that the ghost within his body... was suppressed.
