Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 19 Double Happiness (Part 1)

Guanjiang Residential Area, Dachang City.

"Yang Jian, where have you been? Why are you all wet?" Jiang Yan, wearing a pink bathrobe, greeted Yang Jian.

"I didn't go anywhere. I took a bath in the lake and got some fresh air."

"Oh, you seem to have quite the leisure and refined tastes. Well then, look at me, would you like me to let you enjoy the breeze too?"

Jiang Yan linked arms with Yang Jian, deliberately emphasizing her cleavage. She had recently been secretly studying a lot of learning materials on Zhang Wei's computer, and her speech had become more sophisticated.

“Okay,” Yang Jian replied.

"Uh?"

Jiang Yan was taken aback. Yang Jian usually ignored her, so his straightforward response left her momentarily speechless.

However, Yang Jian continued.

"The water on your clothes was spat out by a ghost, so you can dry it for me."

"Ah~!"

Jiang Yan immediately jumped back like a cat, patting the water stains off her body as she spoke.

"I have something to do! I need to go to Dahai City to discuss business!"

After saying that, Jiang Yan ran upstairs to change her clothes. She was going to burn the bathrobe so that a ghost wouldn't jump out and kill her one day.

Yang Jian ignored him and turned to walk into a clock tower.

At the top of the clock tower is a hidden compartment containing a cabinet with a style reminiscent of the Republic of China era.

The bright red paint on the cabinet surface looked as if it had been soaked in blood. Although it was summer, the environment here was unusually cold and damp, like being in a hospital morgue.

Last time, Ghost Chef asked Yang Jian to find a woman in a photo within a year, but Yang Jian was unsure whether Ghost Chef was looking for the mummified bride or the source of the ghost painting, so it has been delayed until now.

However, after the incident in Dajing City that caused things to get out of control, Yang Jian was able to confirm that what the Ghost Cabinet was looking for was the source of the Ghost Painting.

Take out a pen and paper and write down a sentence: "I have found it. Now it's my turn to make a request. Tell me where the man who saved me in the hurricane came from."

The note was gently placed inside the ghost cabinet. Yang Jian immediately withdrew his hand, stood still, and stared silently at the ghost cabinet with his ghost eyes.

After this transaction, Yang Jian plans to use the human skin paper to find a way to reduce the number of transactions at the Ghost Cabinet, or conversely, to use the Ghost Cabinet to find a way to counterbalance the human skin paper.

In short, Yang Jian must minimize the danger of either the human skin paper or the ghost cabinet, otherwise he might be killed by these two ghostly things one day.

Just as Yang Jian was pondering, something seemed wrong with the ghost cabinet in front of him. The note seemed to have been swallowed up, and the ghost cabinet remained silent for a long time without making any move.

"It's been too long."

He already had the machete in his hand, and if the ghost cabinet in front of him showed any abnormality, he would not hesitate to use the ghost machete and the machete to dismember it.

Time passed slowly, the sun was setting, and night was about to fall.

Yang Jian didn't leave; he was afraid the ghost cabinet would renege on its debt.
Yang Jian stared at the scarlet paint surface until a rooster crowed and the sun rose above the horizon once more.

He raised the wood-chopping knife and pointed it at the ghost cabinet.

"No one has ever dared to renege on my debts..."

Yang Jian had plenty of patience when it came to the supernatural, but now it seemed that this ghost cabinet was determined to get back at him.

Lake water dripped from the ceiling, and Yang Jian decided to chop down this ghost cabinet right now.

suddenly.

The quiet wardrobe, which had been silent all night, suddenly trembled, and one of the wardrobe doors bulged out slightly.

Yang Jian immediately opened the cabinet door, and inside was a note with two sentences on it.

The first sentence he wrote was: I've found it, now it's my turn to make a request, tell me where the man who saved me in the hurricane came from.

The second sentence was written in distorted handwriting, with no trace of handwriting: I don't know where that person came from, so let's change the request.

"Are you kidding me?!"

After painstakingly resolving the out-of-control incident in Dajing City, all I got in return was a "I don't know" response?

A strange glint flashed in Yang Jian's eyes. The origins of a ghost tamer shouldn't be difficult to ascertain, yet Ghost Cabinet had given such an answer. Unless, merely telling him about the man's origins was enough for Ghost Cabinet to determine that it was impossible and extremely dangerous.

Back at the villa, Yang Jian didn't continue to argue with Gui Chu. Since Gui Chu wanted him to change his request, he needed to think it over carefully before making the next transaction.

"Yang Jian! Your package!"

Just as Yang Jian was pondering, Jiang Yan's voice came from downstairs.

"I've put it on the table for you! I'm going to Dahai City! Zhang Wei is coming with me!"

Yang Jian went downstairs, but Jiang Yan was no longer in the large living room.

I picked up a tightly wrapped package from the coffee table, opened it, and found a thick book inside.

Research and Exploration of Vengeful Ghosts

This is a book that headquarters distributed to each person in charge. It contains a lot of insights and understanding about the paranormal.

Yang Jian casually found a sofa to lie down on and opened the cover.
Dahai City

"Su Fan! You cheated, didn't you! Did you use that ghost?! I couldn't possibly have lost a single game in three days and three nights!"

Ye Zhen jumped onto the sofa and shouted loudly at Su Fan.

"No... I'm just really good at games, so I got haunted by a ghost while playing one of them."

"Again! I, Ye, am invincible and will never lose to you again. I'm getting serious now."

This is the 32nd time you've said that.

Three minutes later, Ye Zhen lay slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling, as if he had suffered a great blow.

"How is that possible? How could a human possibly pull off that kind of maneuver?"

A-Wu looked at Ye Zhen with a dark expression. Ever since the incident of the three S-level ghosts going out of control in Dajing City, Ye Zhen had dragged Su Fan to Dahai City to play games every day. The entire headquarters was in complete chaos. It was said that a certain place had been flooded by a strange storm, but Ye Zhen was oblivious to everything else and only focused on playing his PS4.

Ye Zhen lay lifelessly on the sofa and waved his hand.

"That's enough. In the realm of games, I, Ye Zhen, am willing to acknowledge you as the strongest."

After hearing this, Su Fan threw down the controller and went to sleep. Ye Zhen dragged him to play games for three days and three nights. Ye Zhen didn't need to sleep, but he did.

A-Wu stood to the side and said:

"President Ye, you should go out for a walk. Headquarters is almost overrun, and your WeChat Moments have been helping headquarters deal with the vengeful ghosts that haven't been imprisoned in Dajing City. We should do something too."

Although Ye Zhen is in charge of the paranormal forum, he's essentially a hands-off manager, rarely getting involved. The vast majority of affairs are handled by A-Wu; Ye Zhen is more of a figurehead, ensuring that Dahai City remains peaceful as long as he's present.

Ye Zhen lay lazily on the sofa.

"As long as I, Ye, am still in Dahai City, what ghost would dare to cause trouble?"

Just as A-Wu was about to continue persuading Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

"But you're right, I can't keep going down this path."

A-Wu was taken aback, thinking that Ye Zhen had finally figured it out. Ye Zhen continued:

"This trip down the mountain will surely bring me great fortune and many wonderful encounters."

"Yes," A-Wu was speechless.

"Awu, get your clothes ready! Oh, and keep a low profile. I don't want too many people to discover my identity this time..."

"Yes"

Half an hour later, in a bustling square in Dahai City.

A young man dressed in casual clothes, with a long sword hanging at his waist, stood in the center of the square, holding a carton of milk in his hand, observing the passersby around him.

"As expected, the aura I exuded has already kept the vengeful spirits of Dahai City from showing themselves."

Suddenly, a commotion arose nearby, and Ye Zhen vaguely heard things like "Dachang City" and "gang leader".
