Mysterious Revival-Chapter 802 - 769: The Bluff in the Game

But it was obvious, after all, it was impossible to hide.

"What? A Coffin Nail?" After taking a closer look, the manager's face changed immediately.

Indeed.

The reason for Ye Zhen's devastating defeat was found; it was because of the Coffin Nail. This nail had resolved the Hungry Ghost incident before, and it was then reclaimed by headquarters, disappearing for over half a year. Recently, during headquarters' handling of a ghost painting incident, a breach occurred, someone used the Ghost Domain to infiltrate the headquarters and stole the Hungry Ghost.

Could it be, the person who infiltrated the headquarters was Yang Jian?

Thinking carefully, it wasn't impossible because both the Hungry Ghost and Coffin Nail had been handled by Yang Jian before. It's reasonable for him to reclaim them during a lapse in the headquarters' security.

"President Ye is most likely not dead, just constrained by the Coffin Nail. If we could remove the Coffin Nail, President Ye would most likely resurrect. Once President Ye wakes up and reclaims the Coffin Nail, Yang Jian would definitely be no match for him."

The manager, with flickering eyes and in a hushed voice, said: "And now that Yang Jian and President Ye have had a fight, his condition must be very bad."

"So we must not retreat today no matter what, we must rescue President Ye, or else once Yang Jian catches his breath, our Supernatural Forum will be settled, and I'm not being alarmist. Yang Jian has purged friends before, there's precedent."

With these words spoken, the others were resolute and immediately came up with ideas.

That's right.

Ye Zhen cannot die.

If he dies, the balance will be lost and the Supernatural Forum will face the risk of being purged, and they will be in big trouble too.

On the other hand, if Ye Zhen wakes up, with the boss's dominance, by reclaiming the Coffin Nail and repulsing Yang Jian, the power could swing back to the hands of the Supernatural Forum instantly.

"Yang Jian, can you still fight like this? Ghosts are almost reviving, right? Your eyes are turning red, which is a sign of ghostly corruption,"

At that moment, a man named Ah Wu stepped out coldly: "If it weren't for that sneak attack with the Coffin Nail, there's no way the boss would lose to you. But today's incident has been big enough, give us our boss back and we'll consider this never happened. If you try anything on our boss again, every admin of our Supernatural Forum will fight you to the death."

"You definitely won't be able to walk out of Dahai City alive."

Yang Jian's gaze shifted, fixing his eyes on the middle-aged man in a suit.

He knew this man was speaking, but he was speaking so quietly it was a bit unclear. It seemed that those words had given the Supernatural Forum members a do-or-die courage, and he was somewhat unable to suppress them now.

"If Ye Zhen returns to the hands of the Supernatural Forum, and they remove the Coffin Nail, it's very likely Ye Zhen would wake up again. Of course, there's also a chance he might not wake up, but I can't gamble on that. Otherwise, Ye Zhen with the Coffin Nail would truly be invincible."

A combination of the Coffin Nail and Scapegoat Ghost, Ye Zhen, is simply catastrophe level.

If he kills me then and takes this eerie Firewood Knife... I truly will be invincible by then."

"Fight me to death? You also qualify?" Yang Jian, expressionless, with his eyes glowing red, eerily scrutinized these people.

"My condition indeed isn't too good, but with a burst of effort, wiping you wastes out is still possible, after all, the gap between us is too large, it would only take seconds to decide the outcome. The only reason I haven't done so is because I don't have the energy to deal with the aftermath of your ghostly resurrections."

"No matter what, I am the person in charge of Dachang City, a Captain at headquarters, I have to consider some influence,"

"But if you really push my limit, I don't care, at worst I'll write a report later."

Yang Jian wasn't blindly bluffing, which could potentially reveal his inner weakness. He admitted his bad condition, but also showed he still had the capability to fight these people to death,

Half truth, half bluff.

Ah Wu's expression darkened, and his gaze hesitated.

If Yang Jian still had the capability to fight, indeed, with his ability to defeat the boss, a few seconds would be enough to clean up his own people.

The gap isn't so easy to bridge.

But he couldn't retreat.

If he retreated, the Supernatural Forum would be doomed, the manager was right. Once Yang Jian caught his breath, he would definitely purge these people, and then who could withstand a strike from Ghost Eye Yang Jian?

"No matter what, the boss cannot be harmed. Let's do this, you pull out the Coffin Nail, leave Dahai City, and we won't stop you. Then today's incident will be considered as never happened, and we will also compensate you later. Just give us a price, consider it as buying the boss from you," Ah Wu coldly stepped forward.

He needed to show his stance.

But this step, this very step made him sweat in fear, his legs seemed to tremble.

Because once Yang Jian made a move, he would be done for.Ah Wu's cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Was Yang Jian not just bluffing? He was truly unafraid of them taking action.

"What should we do now?"

The others also fell into hesitation.

No one could fathom Yang Jian's current state, and they didn't dare to act recklessly.

At this moment, the manager's eyes flickered as he observed Yang Jian, rapidly analyzing the situation. He was certain that Yang Jian's condition must be poor; otherwise, he wouldn't be wasting time talking here. From what he remembered about Yang Jian's profile, he was not someone who liked to talk unnecessarily.

Excessive talking indicated that he no longer could suppress everyone with his strength alone.

This was indeed a sign of worsened condition.

Furthermore, Yang Jian mentioned that he still had the capability to fight, which probably wasn't false.

If he had no ability to fight, he likely wouldn't be able to talk like a normal person here, as he would have been affected by the resurrection of the Hungry Ghost, showing some noticeable traits already.

He had seen the condition of a ghost controller before the resurrection of their Hungry Ghost: madness, stupor, muttering to themselves, even self-harm, and wailing...

But they also couldn't back down.

The aftermath of Yang Jian catching his breath would be equally terrifying; only by regaining Ye Zhen now and controlling the discourse could they calm the current situation.

After thinking for a moment.

The manager took a big step forward and said, "Captain Yang, everything is negotiable if you return Ye Zhen, but if Captain Yang is adamant about taking our leader, then we'll have no choice but to fight desperately to take our leader back. After all, without Ye Zhen, there is no need for the supernatural forum to exist anymore, right?"

His short statement revealed two crucial pieces of information.

First, reminding everyone not to clash directly with Yang Jian, as they would be overpowered and could all die instantly, so they should focus on Ye Zhen, who lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Saving Ye Zhen would then turn everything around.

Second, he warned Yang Jian that if he forcibly took Ye Zhen, the entire supernatural forum would go down fighting.

"Captain Yang, please don't delay any longer, I hope you can give me an answer immediately, otherwise, in ten seconds, everyone from the supernatural forum will start to rescue him," the manager stepped past Ah Wu, walking towards Ye Zhen.

He saw that Ye Zhen was covered in blood all over.

If they continued to delay, Ye Zhen might not be saved even if they removed the Coffin Nail, as he still had a breath left in him.

Yang Jian squinted his eyes slightly, staring at this middle-aged manager in a suit.

This was an ordinary person.

From his prior behavior, his status within the supernatural forum seemed to be quite high, likely some kind of military advisor close to Ye Zhen.

But indeed, this man was a talent, with both courage and brains to boot.

Ye Zhen, with his juvenile delusions, indeed needed such a person to help him manage, otherwise Ye Zhen alone could not possibly sustain such a force.

Not intimidated, huh?

Seeing this, Yang Jian's heart sank even more.

Things did not go as he had expected. Instead of scattering upon Ye Zhen's downfall, these people were unexpectedly united and determined to rescue Ye Zhen fiercely.

If he were in good condition, it wouldn't matter.

But now...

Yang Jian also disagreed with this outcome. Even if he retrieved the Coffin Nail and let Ye Zhen go, once Ye Zhen was resurrected and they had to fight again, he would definitely die.

But not letting go.

The members of the supernatural forum were ready to fight him to the death.

"He really was bluffing," the manager saw Yang Jian hesitate, and his confidence surged.

This was also a kind of probing.

Though it involved a gamble, there was no doubt he gambled right.

Yang Jian did not dare to strike first, his condition was worse than expected, and he would definitely die if a real fight ensued, otherwise, he would not be able to stand here and talk.

"A mere ordinary man dares to press me? Very well, then why are you waiting, attack now, today while Ye Zhen is nailed to the ground, let's get rid of you trash directly, to avoid future troubles," Yang Jian's face changed, filled with murderous intent.

He strode toward where Ye Zhen was, staring directly at these members of the supernatural forum.

This was an advance as a means of retreat.

It was also a form of gambit.

"This is bad."

The manager's face instantly turned pale, and the brief joy he felt vanished.

Yang Jian had been angered by him and, even though in poor shape, was determined to strike with his last breath.

He had overlooked an important point.

That is the disparity in status and identity.

He was just a minor character, while Yang Jian was a Captain Level, one of the top ghost controllers globally, and possessed extraordinary powers far beyond normal human imagination.

Even in his current state, he was not someone an ordinary person could provoke.

Using a phrase from their boss Ye Zhen: The powerful should not be insulted.
