Mysterious Revival-Chapter 842 - 809 Room 301

The smell of smoke in the room was getting stronger, as if a fire had occurred outside, and the thick smoke was gradually seeping in, carrying a burnt foul smell, much like the incineration of a rotting corpse.

And with every breath, one felt as though being burned by blazing fire.

There was an indescribable feeling of suffocation and stabbing pain.

If one stayed long in this thick smoke, living people would be slowly turned into dry corpses devoid of moisture.

"Even the Ghost Door Blocker's ability cannot completely prevent the invasion of the ghost outside?" Yang Jian stood next to the room door, clearly feeling the dense smoke gathering just beyond the door.

Within that thick smoke, there was a blackened dry corpse, which merged with the smoke, yet remained unaltered in shape, retaining the form of a living person, moving in an incomprehensible manner.

This was a true ghost, not the dead controlled by Ghost Shadow Figure in Dachuan City.

The fearsome ghost in the thick smoke stood just outside the door, its dark and gaunt corpse-like palm gently touching the door.

The rough palm rubbed against the door, making a hissing sound.

The ghost was trying to open the door, looking for the people inside.

Once the door was opened, and the people inside were found, everyone would be killed instantly. It was very difficult to withstand the attack of such a revived fearsome ghost.

The Ghost titled 'Seeker' needs to meet two conditions to kill someone.

Find a person, and be within a few meters radius.

Both are essential.

Now, the condition of being within a few meters radius has been met, the only thing missing is that the ghost has not yet noticed the people inside.

Li Yang's Ghost Door Blocker blocked most of the supernatural influence.

This fearsome ghost wandering in the thick smoke momentarily paused outside the door, neither advancing further nor leaving.

Because they were in conflict with each other.

The ghost was challenging Li Yang.

Using the door as a medium, to see who was more terrifying.

This confrontation had just started and the disparity was already showing.

The Ghost Door Blocker couldn't completely block the erosion from the ghost outside.

Cold sweat broke out on Li Yang's forehead. He distinctly felt that the door in front of him seemed about to break and shatter, with something terrifying trying to force its way in. The Ghost Door Blocker was powerful, but he was facing a revived ghosts and yet had to restrain his own use of ability.

Otherwise, he would be eroded by his own ghost and die instantly.

"This way, we can't hold it." Li Yang's hands were still pressed against the door, his face looked terrible, as pale and gaunt as a corpse just lifted from a sick bed, with signs of decay.

"Captain, you all must leave here quickly, otherwise everyone will die. This ghost is much more terrifying than we thought."

"I'll stay here and hold it back. We are on the second floor, it'll be fine to jump down, and the ghost won't follow, you will have enough time to deliver that letter."

Feeling his strength waning, he asked Yang Jian to leave and handed over the box containing the letter to him.

He would cover the rear.

As long as he could hold back the ghost, there was a high chance of success for this operation.

Yang Jian's gaze shifted slightly, the burnt smell in the dim room growing more intense, affecting him slightly, while Yang Xiaohua and Li Yi next to him covered their noses, their faces twisted in agony.

The thick smoke in the room was quickly exceeding the limits of human tolerance.

"Take this, and everyone else follow me."

Without any hesitation, he handed a decoy doll to Li Yang and then directly smashed a window of the room and jumped out.

The whole process was without any delay.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be able to break the window of the Ghost Door Blocker's room, but now Li Yang was confronting the ghost behind the door, making other areas weaker.

Yang Jian landed swiftly, without any injuries.

"Let's go, let's jump down too." In the room, Li Yi's voice was hoarse with strain. Without any hesitation, he too jumped down.

The height of the second floor wouldn't kill a person.

At worst, it would break a leg.

But Li Yi seemed experienced. He landed steadily without falling, though he sustained minor injuries that didn't impede his normal movements.

Yang Xiaohua and Leuk Qingqing were delayed when they jumped.

They were afraid to jump straight down because doing so could result in injuries that could easily lead to death in the situation they were in.

Yang Xiaohua hung onto the window with her hands to reduce the dropping height, though she also landed quite heavily, it was just a painful buttocks, without any serious impact.

And Leuk Qingqing, however, seemed a bit strange.

After she jumped down, the weight of her body seemed very unnatural, as if lightly floating to the ground, not falling directly.

Yang Jian glanced at her, without saying much, and immediately left this place, walking towards the residential building on the far right ahead.

That building was very likely Building Number Seven.

Li Yi and Leuk Qingqing followed him in silence, not daring to waste any time.

"Can he hold on, I hope nothing happens," Yang Xiaohua looked back at the room they had just left.

The broken window was pitch black, with thick smoke seeping out, making it impossible to see the current situation inside that room.

The man named Li Yang was there alone, battling a terrifyingly fierce ghost.

Although she felt quite unfamiliar and even somewhat afraid of this man, Yang Xiaohua was filled with gratitude, not expecting that in such a crisis, someone would actually stay behind without hesitation.

This was something they, as messengers, couldn't do - at most, they could die together or escape together; no one was willing to stay behind alone.

"Li Yang must not die; the Ghost District already has too many ghosts. If Li Yang were to die, the situation would deteriorate to an unmanageable extent. Therefore, we must save him at all costs, Spare Life Dolls must not be spared and must be given to him to preserve his life," Yang Jian hurried away from this place.

Although he left decisively,

Yang Jian also left a Spare Life Doll for Li Yang to save his life, believing that with it, Li Yang could successfully survive and not be killed by the ghost.

"This is really dangerous," Li Yi gasped heavily, his face becoming even more pained, feeling as if his body were burning.

His skin visibly thinned down.

As if water, muscle, and fat had all been sucked away.

He felt an inexplicable fear.

If they continued to stay in this thick smoke, he believed he would soon die here.

Yang Jian paid no attention to the three people following him.

In his view, these three people were just sharing the risk of being attacked by fierce ghosts, preventing himself from accidentally triggering the ghost's murder pattern, dying inexplicably, and not even getting a chance to prepare a backup plan.

However, as a return.

After this supernatural event, he would ensure that these few people left the Ghost Post Office alive.

A normal transaction.

No coercion involved.

"A Spare Life Doll? That's really good, with this thing I can survive no matter what." In the darkness, Li Yang leaned against the door, his hand tightly clutching the eerie doll sewn from old cloth.

He hadn't expected to get this thing, he was just plainly intending to cover their retreat.

After all, there would still be a chance to turn things around if he covered their retreat, but if Yang Jian died here, then everything would be over.

"Just hold on a little longer, the Spare Life Doll should not be used lightly."

Li Yang gritted his teeth, enduring, planning to use the Spare Life Doll at the very last moment to maximize the time he covered for their retreat.

The ghost was still outside the door...

Meanwhile.

Yang Jian had already reached the staircase of the suspected Building Seven.

There was no delay in time, so the efficiency of the operation was still very high.

"The location of the ghost seeking people has been confirmed, so now only the ghost from the Ferocious Ghost District itself remains unconfirmed. Although I'm uncertain about what Li Leping said before, I think it still holds some reference value; the Terror Level of the ghost in the Ferocious Ghost District is definitely not low, it might even be more frightening than the ghost seeking people."

"After all, Li Leping indeed didn't settle the supernatural event in the Ferocious Ghost District before."

Yang Jian thought this, but still entered the building.

The staircase inside was equally dim; both sides of the walls were blackened, but slightly different from before, there were some faint scratches on these dark walls, as if someone had touched the walls and left traces.

However, these traces didn't seem new.

Because the thick smoke continued to envelop the neighborhood, the power of the Ghost Domain still kept eroding here, even a little trace would soon be covered.

"Has someone been here before?"

Yang Jian furrowed his brows, this idea protruding in his mind, but he soon started to doubt it.

These traces might not have been left by a person; it may have been another ghost.

After all, this place has been sealed off for a long time; there couldn't possibly be any living people.

Soon.

He arrived on the third floor.

The third floor was pitch black, with four units in total; if this was indeed Building Seven, then Room 301 would be one of these four units.

"Which one is 301?" Li Yi immediately began to search.

He wanted to find the number plate beside the room door, but it was pitch black everywhere, and he couldn't see anything at all, not even with the light from his phone. The light could only illuminate some protrusions on the walls, and when he reached out to wipe away the black dust on them, he found it was just an advertising board.

Yang Xiaohua also quickly began to search, hoping to confirm as soon as possible where room 301 really was.

The sooner she completed the letter delivery task, the safer her life would be.

Yang Jian did not move; he just stood there, his eyes faintly turning red as he looked around.

The power of the Ghost Eyes eroded his own.

His own eyes seemed to be replaced by the ghost eyes, acquiring some supernatural qualities, a change brought about by nearing the revival of a fierce ghost.

Although the change was bad, in certain situations, it allowed Yang Jian to possess some of the capabilities of a fierce ghost without any cost.

The dim environment had no effect on Yang Jian.

He quickly pinpointed a number plate on a door.

Although it was smoked black and the characters could no longer be seen clearly, by recognizing the outlines one could still tell it was room 301.

It was just unknown whether this was the 301 of building seven or building nine.

"Stop searching, this is the room."

Yang Jian's cold voice sounded; he walked directly towards it, then lifted his foot and kicked the door.

The task from the Ghost Post Office was just to deliver the letter to room 301 in building seven; there was no specification on whom to deliver it to or whether the door should be damaged, so these unspecified actions were all permissible.

"Wait a minute." Li Yi quickly spoke up to stop him, apparently not expecting Yang Jian to be so reckless.

"Bang~!"

However, it was already too late.

The door to room 301 had been kicked open by Yang Jian; the loud noise of the door breaking echoed inside the building, making the dust on the ceiling fall down continuously.

Violent and capricious.

Everyone's eyelids twitched, and their hearts also tightened.

Wouldn't it be better to simply stuff the letter through the door gap? Why did it have to open this door?

As soon as the door was opened.

A long-sealed chill rushed at them from inside.

At the same time, a dim, yellow light suddenly lit up from room 301 and even illuminated outside the door.

What a joke?

There's light inside?

This was absolutely impossible because the electricity had been cut off in the Ferocious Ghost District, as it was just an old town area being demolished and all the residents had already relocated.

"This light..." Yang Xiaohua stared at the light, lost in thought.

Li Yi coughed lightly; "No, it can't be wrong, it's the same as the light from the Ghost Post Office."

"So, this is the real room 301?" Leuk Qingqing, wearing high heels, stepped closer and took a look.

The furnishings inside were very old.

It gave off a feeling detached from modern times, with most furniture made of wood, painted red, flaking and peeling, the walls and floor covered with old-style floral ceramic tiles, holding a Republic of China Period style, embellished with many posters, each of which was pinned at the corners, completely in the style of the 1980s.

"Inside is not smoked black." Yang Jian furrowed his brows, immediately noticing the most crucial point.

The entire community was enveloped in thick smoke, everything was smoked black, and the rooms were no exception, but this room did not have this phenomenon, not only was it lit, but it also maintained a very clean and tidy appearance.

"The force that can resist supernatural power must also be a supernatural power; there is a ghost inside this room... even if there's no ghost, there must be supernatural items."

Yang Jian hesitated in his heart, considering whether or not to enter.

This step was easy to take, but the risk was high.

Because it was possible that this room was another Ghost Domain, and once inside, it would be very difficult to get out again.

"Breathing seems much easier here." Li Yi stood at the entrance, taking deep breaths of the cool air.

The stinging pain of being smoked like burning fire inside his body was relieved.

In fact, this was just an illusion.

The supernatural power seeping out from the room had merely dispersed the dense smoke on this floor, not improved the condition, but simply calmed the further intrusion of the smoke.

"Just placing the letter at the door would complete this task, taking more risks could cause big problems." Leuk Qingqing looked at Yang Jian and slowly spoke: "I know you are very capable, but the situation here is more terrifying than imagined."

"Let's take a look inside, then I'll decide whether to leave the letter down."

Yang Jian's expression was constantly changing.

Indeed.

At this moment, if he put down the letter, the mission was very likely complete. He could immediately retreat, distance himself from Dachuan City, return to the Ghost Post Office, and smoothly head to the fourth floor.

But he would never know the secrets behind this letter.

He would also miss whatever existed in this room.

"You're not in a good condition," Yang Xiaohua suddenly reminded him. "That's what Li Yang said before."

She did not want Yang Jian to take the risk either.

Having come this far, he should swiftly deliver the letter and leave, rather than courting death by probing into the secrets.

"If you all are afraid, then stay here. I hold the letter, and if I face danger, I'll leave the letter in Room 301 before I die. Then, you can directly ignite the letter and leave this place," Yang Jian glanced at the others, then straight into the room.

Under the enveloping light, his figure became hazy, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, everyone else suddenly widened their eyes, feeling a sense of horror.

As expected.

Room 301 was not that simple.

"What should we do? Should we stand here and wait for Yang Jian to successfully deliver the letter, or should we follow him?" Li Yi hesitated at this moment.

He seldom hesitated.

But the decision now involved life and death, and he couldn't help but agonize over it.

"We should follow; don't forget, there are ghosts lingering here," Yang Xiaohua said, turning her lips, "And Li Yang might not be able to hold back that ghost for long. If Li Yang can't hold on, and we're unable to rendezvous with Yang Jian, facing a ghost would mean certain death."

"Furthermore, if we go back on our previous promise now, wouldn't Yang Jian also refuse to ensure our lives?"

She was very rational, analyzing the situation.

"Makes sense, in that case, let's follow him. Yang Jian is special; since he dared to enter, it means he's confident in handling the situation inside. We don't have the guts to touch other ghosts, we can only rely on him," Liu Qingqing stated.

The messengers on the third floor were not yet capable enough to confront real malignant spirits.

They could only resort to cunning tactics, finding loopholes to deliver the letters.

"Let's gamble on it."

Hearing this analysis, Li Yi simply threw caution to the wind. It was also dangerous to stand at the door.

Making up his mind, he quickly rushed into Room 301.

Yang Xiaohua and Liu Qingqing closely followed behind him.

The dim yellow light enveloped the few people, swallowing their figures within.

Room 301 remained as before, without any changes; even the door slammed shut again after a moment.

Everything returned to deathly silence once more.

At Li Yang's side.

He had reached his limit; currently, a creepy doll fell through the broken window.

Once the doll landed on the ground, it flipped over and started running with its short legs, as if sensing something. Initially running toward the direction where Yang Jian and the others had left, it suddenly spun around on the spot and quickly ran in the opposite direction.

The thick smoke enveloping the neighboring building was rapidly dispersing, moving towards the direction of the doll.

"Cough, cough."

Li Yang leaned on the window frame, looking downstairs. His complexion was terrible, weakly watching the departing doll.

"Seems I've managed to survive for now. Next is to wait for Captain's news."

However, just as he relaxed a bit.

Suddenly, a voice emerged from the smoke-filled living room, "I am Li Leping. Are you Yang Jian or Li Yang?"

Li Yang shuddered violently, his back instantly covered in cold sweat.

Li Leping?

He glanced at a corner of the room.

It was a distorted, deformed mummy.

The polished tag on the mummy still clearly bore three characters: Li Leping.
