Mysterious Revival-Chapter 379 - : 378

Chapter 379: 378

“Is she really okay like this?”

Having returned to their accommodation, Luo Su Yi, Huang Fei, and Lin Luomei all watched Tong Qian, who had been resurrected, now gobbling up food ravenously.

Milk, beer, roasted meat, biscuits, and the like kept being stuffed into her mouth as if she hadn’t eaten for days.

However, what made them truly uneasy was the fact that Tong Qian now had three faces on her head, and each face seemed to be alive, capable of looking around with open eyes and even speaking, as though triplets were sharing one body.

But that alone wasn’t what frightened them.

What truly induced a feeling of alarm was that the other two faces on Tong Qian weren’t human at all, but ghost faces.

One appeared to be crying, the other seemed to be laughing.

Merely speaking a single word could make one feel as though they were being manipulated, driven to tears or laughter against their will, unwittingly allowing the ghostly presence to affect one’s emotions.

And once you laughed or cried, you would trigger the murderous rule of these two ghost faces.

It was a kind of bizarre, lethal move.

No one had tried to withstand it, and of course, Luo Su Yi and Huang Fei didn’t dare to try either.

“Although the look isn’t very pleasing, she seems quite spirited, so there shouldn’t be a problem. At least it can be confirmed that she is indeed alive.”

Yang Jian had been observing Tong Qian all this while and could confirm that her current condition was very good.

At least it was much better than when he had been resurrected.

After his own resurrection, his body had nearly rotted away, livor mortis setting in. If it wasn’t for the Ghost Mirror reversing the situation, he would have completely become a corpse by now.

“What if some problem arises later on? It looks very dangerous,” Luo Su Yi whispered.

Yang Jian looked at him and said, “Which of the Ghost Controllers look safe to you? Do you even consider your current body human? At least she’s better off than you.”

Having said that, he grabbed Luo Su Yi’s wrist to check.

But beneath the flesh of Luo Su Yi’s wrist seemed to squirm something restless, another eerie entity parasitizing within, merging with his body.

“If you continue like this, you’ll be left with nothing but skin. The flesh and blood in your body are being gradually replaced. Tong Qian, at least, has a normal living human body.”

Luo Su Yi gave an awkward smile and retracted his wrist somewhat unnaturally.

“After daybreak, I will leave this place with Tong Qian. After that, this matter will no longer concern you, so there’s no need for you to worry. I won’t come looking for trouble with you either,” Yang Jian declared.

“As for the future, I think it’s unlikely we’ll meet again. We’re all living on borrowed time; heaven knows how long we have left. Who knows, I might make the news some day,” Yang Jian added.

“That’s also true, our chance meeting was also fate,” Huang Fei, sitting beside and smoking a cigarette, frowned as he spoke.

“I suddenly find that you’ve become more profound in your speeches.”

Huang Fei replied, “Really? Maybe it’s because I’ve been through a lot. You’re still young; you won’t understand.”

“I’m full,” Tong Qian announced, having finished her last bottle of beer and letting out a long sigh of relief.

“We have two hours to rest before we need to return to Z city. After wrapping up some things, I should return to Dachang City.”

“You can still work in your current condition, right?” Yang Jian asked.

Tong Qian shook her head, the ghost faces alternately switching before she answered, “There should be no problem. Although I’m not used to having two extra faces, it’s more than I had before and… I don’t feel any urge from these two faces to resurrect, which is an experience I’ve never had before. Normally, that ghost face would keep moving on my head, trying to cover my own face.”

“But now, it’s quiet.”

“Isn’t that a good sign?” Yang Jian remarked.

“You’re right, but I’m still not quite used to it. This thing is too quiet… quiet as if it’s dead,” Tong Qian said, frowning, and her other two human faces also mirrored the expression.

“If it stays like this, I think I won’t have to worry about the ghosts resurrecting for a very long time to come. That’s far more perfect than controlling just two ghosts.”

At this point, she turned to look at Yang Jian, “During the time I was dead, you must have done something to me.”

“It was a dangerous experiment,” Yang Jian admitted. “Fortunately, you survived, otherwise what revived wouldn’t have been you, but a ghost with two faces.”

“Regardless, I still owe you thanks. I was prepared to die when I was attacked in the hotel. I never expected to come back to life. By the way, since you found my body, where is the satellite-tracked phone that was inside? Now that I’m alive again, I should report this to headquarters,” Tong Qian suggested.

“The satellite-tracked phone inside your stomach, was that placed by you?” Yang Jian inquired.

Tong Qian nodded, “Yes, that was my doing. Since I figured I couldn’t escape from that hotel, I placed the phone inside my body as a means of positioning, to help those who came to support me locate my position and track the ghost. I didn’t expect that the ghost would use this to its advantage.”

“It wanted to use you to get out of the hotel and take over my identity, continuing to live in Z city… So the thing I encountered definitely wasn’t the source of the human-headed balloon but another ghost,” Tong Qian concluded.

“Now is not the time to talk about work, some matters can wait for another couple of days. Besides, I’ve already sealed off the Caesar Hotel. There are still complicated situations inside. From now on, unless I take the lead, no one else should try to enter that hotel, otherwise they might end up dying a horrible death,” Yang Jian said slowly.

Tong Qian nodded, “I was planning to go back to continue working until this situation was resolved, but since you’ve said this, I’ll heed your advice and seal off that place.”

“Sealing is the safest approach, keeping the supernatural entities inside so as long as they don’t cause more casualties, it’s as good as having solved a paranormal event,” said Yang Jian.

“Let’s not talk anymore, you should rest now.”

Tong Qian replied and stood up to return to her room to rest.

But fewer than ten minutes after returning to her room, she came out again.

“I’ve discovered something very special; it seems I’ve become quite different,” said Tong Qian, who was now tilting her head with a tearful face towards everyone.

Luo Su Yi and Huang Fei were startled and took several steps back, “Sister, can you not face us with that face? It’s really scary.”

The tearful face of Tong Qian showed a hint of surprise, “I actually fell asleep, but woke up quickly after that, only to realize I woke up with this face, while my own face continues to sleep.”

“Is it possible to take turns resting?”

Yang Jian glanced at her and thoughtfully said, “Or is it that as long as you use Ghost Face, you can stay awake for extended periods?”

He understood Tong Qian’s situation because he was somewhat similar; his body never felt tired.

“It seems to be the case,” Tong Qian touched her tearful face.

Although it was chilly and pale, the texture was delicate, as if a fine piece of human skin was attached to it, and the face looked androgynous, quite neutral.

If she put on makeup, she could pass for either a man or a woman.

“There are some things that you need to explore on your own. However, it would be best to keep certain details about yourself secret, because your resurrection is not replicable. If word gets out, we can’t guarantee that some wouldn’t target you,” Yang Jian warned, also casting a glance at Luo Su Yi beside him.

“I promise to keep it a secret,” Luo Su Yi immediately pledged.

Yang Jian said, “No need to be nervous, but if you leak this information to people on the paranormal forums, or if someone else gets the news from you and causes trouble for me and Tong Qian, I will issue a global warrant for you.”

“…” Luo Su Yi’s mouth twitched.

Isn’t that a bit overkill, a global warrant?

“Since you don’t need rest, let’s head back to Z city now,” Yang Jian withdrew his gaze.

“That sounds good; getting back to work sooner also means this matter can be dealt with quicker,” Tong Qian still prioritized her work above all.

Yang Jian hadn’t altered her memories too much, so it didn’t have a great impact on her personality.

Before leaving, Yang Jian reminded Lin Luomei, “Your condition is pretty bad, you should go to Wang Xiaoming as soon as possible to control the two ghosts. I’ve given you the spot, but I can’t guarantee success, given the past success rate of controlling two ghosts is only about thirty percent. I don’t know whether Wang Xiaoming has made any progress or increased the rate recently.”

“Thank you, Yang Jian,” Lin Luomei said through the speaker.

“Don’t thank me, it’s what you deserve,” Yang Jian replied.

“What about me? I helped too, shouldn’t I get some reward?” Luo Su Yi boldly asked.

Yang Jian said, “You took risks to protect a girl; I didn’t ask you to do that. You still have the nerve to ask me for a reward? But since I saw you take a knife for Xiong Wenwen, I’ll give you half a Ghost Candle, something that is only available internally. Use it sparingly.”

After saying this, he took out half of a white Ghost Candle and threw it to Luo Su Yi.

“Damn it, this thing attracts ghosts, what do I need this for?” Luo Su Yi was so frightened he felt like throwing it away.

Yang Jian, however, said, “If it can attract ghosts, it can also repel them. It might save your life at a critical moment. If you don’t want it, give it back to me.”

“Who dares to touch my Ghost Candle, I’ll fight them to the death,” Luo Su Yi immediately roared with an undiminished spirit.

Very quickly,

Yang Jian and Tong Qian left the place and drove back to Z city.

However, he was silent the whole trip.

“What are you thinking about?” Tong Qian, still looking in the mirror from the passenger seat, seemed to notice his preoccupation and asked.

“I’m wondering if a certain ghost has been truly and completely dealt with,” Yang Jian said. “Looking to see if there are any loopholes because the whole event was so challenging. It ended too easily, so easily that it even makes me doubt whether the ghost being imprisoned was also a calculated move in its plan.”

“That thing is different from other ghosts. It can alter others’ memories and possess their memories. To some extent, that means it possesses intelligence.”

Tong Qian said, “Then let’s go over everything again, I’ll assist you, and we absolutely won’t allow any loopholes to exist.”

“Sure, I’ll stay in Z city for a few more days, then we’ll talk,” replied Yang Jian calmly.
