Mysterious Revival-Chapter 460 - 458

Since the operation began and the Ghost Candle was lit to attract that ghost, all the events that unfolded had exceeded Yang Jian’s expectations. A continuous onslaught of strange and dangerous incidents gave him no time to think, and one false step meant total defeat, with everyone dying here.

"What in the world is happening?"

Yang Jian clenched his teeth, both alarmed and furious.

He unleashed the Ghost Hand and opened the golden bottle containing the ghost. There was no doubt this action increased the number of ghosts on his side, surely surpassing the maximum number that the Ghost Coffin could suppress.

Therefore, the kind of absolute suppression formed by the ghosts no longer existed. Otherwise, Yang Jian wouldn’t have been able to use the Ghost Shadow’s power to save Wang Jiang.

But the problem was, with the number of ghosts on their side evidently holding the advantage, why were the ghosts still attacking people?

The condition of being alone should no longer be met.

Had the rules changed?

Or was there an unpredictable strange change under direct contact with the ghost?

Unclear, and absolutely no time to think or judge. Surrounded by crisis, even Yang Jian could only take one step at a time, attempting various trials like walking a tightrope, struggling to find a way to survive.

"The Ghost Hand has revived."

At this moment, his gaze was fixed on the necromancer named Huang Ziya.

A ghastly white, bloodless, stiff hand lay on her shoulder, and this hand began to vanish from his line of sight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This wasn’t a good sign.

Once this eerie hand disappeared, it meant the ghost had reverted to its previous state, entered the third Ghost Domain, and would form a terrible curse, starting to kill people around it.

Although Yang Jian didn’t know what the eerie hand’s conditions for killing were, it wasn’t important.

They couldn’t afford to lose any team members, because if one person died, their own ferocious ghosts would become uncontrollable, and the already precarious situation would lose all control.

"Suppress this eerie hand first."

Almost instantly, Yang Jian made a decisive choice. While the Ghost Hand had not yet completely vanished, he immediately directed the Headless Ghost Shadow to strike.

He was no longer in a condition to open the third level of the Ghost Domain.

If the eerie hand disappeared, everyone present would be powerless against this ghost.

Because the others didn’t have the Ghost Domain, they couldn’t locate the source of this curse, and could only be passive victims, either being killed or exhausted to the limit, dying because their own vicious ghosts revived.

But Yang Jian wouldn’t have released the Ghost Hand without being prepared for countermeasures.

The Headless Ghost Shadow was the most effective against such incomplete ghosts.

A large dark figure lurked in the shadows, silently standing next to Huang Ziya, who was completely unaware, not even reacting to the Ghost Hand’s appearance on her body.

This wasn’t because her vigilance was lacking, but rather her attention was not on her own person. She was wary of an even more terrifying ghost nearby.

The moment the pale, bloodless hand vanished, a mass of shadow enveloped the hand.

The Ghost Shadow immediately invaded the Ghost Hand.

The Ghost Hand, which had already become blurry and was about to vanish, suddenly froze as if it had lost its eeriness.

Before the hand could enter the third layer of the Ghost Domain, Yang Jian’s Headless Ghost Shadow successfully captured it and managed to restrain it.

However, after the Headless Ghost Shadow captured the Ghost Hand, it initiated a series of unexpected changes.

The tall, dark headless figure no longer obeyed Yang Jian. It moved straight towards him and began to reenter his body.

"Damn, it’s happening—the thing I was worried about," Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed. He felt as if the Headless Ghost Shadow was acting on instinct, even though it had crashed. But the instinct was still there.

It wanted to piece together a vicious ghost’s body.

Now that it had acquired the hand, it was like having a piece of a puzzle.

So, this puzzle piece was eager to fit into Yang Jian’s body, and he couldn’t resist this instinct.

In the past, he might have been able to, but not now. His body was deteriorating, the instinct of the Headless Ghost Shadow was taking the upper hand, and he couldn’t even fight against the ghost he controlled.

This was a state of loss of control.

When Yang Jian controlled the Headless Ghost Shadow before, it often went out of control at night, automatically attacking people around him, and Jiang Yan had been attacked several times, although each time he had managed to stop it.

But now, he couldn’t stop it, he could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded.

Quickly.

The Headless Ghost Shadow returned to its own body, but at the same time, it brought back a pale, bloodless hand.

Just like assembling blocks.

Yang Jian’s own hand eerily separated on its own, falling to the ground, while the other hand smoothly took its place, becoming his new hand.

Assembly complete.

The Headless Ghost Shadow’s loss of control ended, and Yang Jian immediately felt a cold chill invading his body along his arm.

The location of the hand lost all sensation, touch, and pain vanished, a sense of foreignness that didn’t belong to him appeared in his heart,

What was terrifying was that Yang Jian tried to move his hand, and this pale, eerie hand could be controlled by him, moving according to his thoughts.

"Was this the Headless Ghost Shadow forcibly grafting a Ghost Hand onto me? My own balance may very well be disrupted by the residence of this third ghost, and when that happens, I might die even more miserably,"

Yang Jian clenched his teeth, although reluctant to have a hand replaced by a ghost’s manipulation, there was no possibility to switch it back now.

Because this hand was a living ghost, without the suppression of the Headless Ghost Shadow, it would start killing people, nor could it be removed and confined, because so far he still needed this Ghost Hand to make up the numbers.

In other words, under the current situation, he could only keep the Ghost Hand on his body.

"Never mind that for now, we’ll address it after everything is over," Yang Jian quickly picked up his fallen hand.

Not wanting to discard his original body, he put it in a box and secured it properly.

"Yang Jian, did you hear that?"

Suddenly, Zhang Lei’s anxious voice rang out, "After Wang Jiang was rescued, I thought I heard the sound of a bottle falling to the ground behind me. What exactly happened on your end, do you need help? I feel the situation is dire."

The sound of a bottle falling to the ground?

Yang Jian had been preoccupied with stopping the revival of the Ghost Hand, so he hadn’t paid attention to anything else. Now with Zhang Lei’s prompting, he immediately turned to look.

A golden bottle was slightly shaking on the ground, its mouth already open, utterly empty, and at a glance, one could see the bottom, devoid of the previous eerie and ominous aura.

The ghost inside had escaped!

When it rains, it pours.

Bad things were happening one after another, each incident bringing a sense of despair and suffocation.

"A ghost that wasn’t suppressed has been accidentally released by me," Yang Jian said with a stern face, his gaze sweeping around to find the escaped ghost.

"What?"

Panicked voices arose in quick succession.

Yang Jian said, "The situation is different from what we imagined earlier. The ghost’s attack on Wang Jiang caused me to misjudge the situation. Hastily increasing the number of ghosts avoided us being killed by the ghosts here, but the ghost I released has also caused a lot of trouble."

"So what do we do now?" Wang Jiang had just had a narrow escape from death and was yet to catch his breath when a greater crisis emerged.

"It’s hard to manage one end without neglecting the other, achieving absolute balance is very difficult. All of you ghost hunters should feel it now, can you still use your abilities?" Yang Jian said.

"I can use it, it’s not like before when I completely lost control," Zhang Lei said.

Yang Jian said, "That’s enough, it implies that we have the advantage in the number of ghosts on our side, which is critical. For now, I’ll assume that balance has been achieved. The next move is to search for other ghost hunters."

"Wait, didn’t you release another ghost? Aren’t you going to deal with it?" Huang Ziya hurriedly said.

Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed: "That ghost, after I released it from the bottle because of the Ghost Candle, I am certain that the ghost is around us, it definitely hasn’t left, it’s just that I haven’t found it yet. But what are you afraid of? With the five of us ghost hunters, even if that ghost appears, we can suppress it immediately."

"The ghosts outside are our real concern, aren’t they?"

Compared to the ghost in the bottle and the ghosts in the Ghost Coffin, the latter was far more terrifying. The former at least left them with confidence that they could deal with it.

"Follow me now, we will tackle problems as they arise. Staying here would mean waiting for death," Yang Jian said, knowing that not all problems were resolved but time did not permit them to continue to linger.

Immediate action was needed to draw the nearby ghosts away.

Only by doing so could he continue to observe the surroundings and determine whether the possibility of surviving mentioned on the human skin paper was indeed true.
