Mysterious Revival-Chapter 683 - 650 Action Begins

As the president of the Exorcism Club in Japan, President Mishima must be extremely busy, but today he went out of his way to welcome Yang Jian's arrival. He also personally kept him company and invited Yang Jian for drinks, a treatment that was indeed very high.

However, the more this was so, the more worried Yang Jian was that this operation would not go smoothly.

After all, risk and reward are directly proportional.

At the dinner table, Mishima remained enthusiastic and spoke with respectful language, flattering Yang Jian from time to time. Also, subtly between the lines, he displayed his hope for Yang Jian to establish more friendships and interactions with their Exorcism Club.

Yang Jian neither responded nor declined. Facing such an old fox, the more you say, the more mistakes you're liable to make. Better to just eat quietly, rejuvenate his spirit, and prepare for the events to come.

Keiko, who sat kneeling beside him quietly, took the initiative to serve food for Yang Jian and even described the delicacies for him.

Meanwhile, as they ate and drank, preparations continued outside.

Soon, a portable safety deposit box containing three pieces of Ghost Porcelain was delivered in front of Yang Jian.

"Mister Yang, the items you requested have been prepared. The three team members are on their way and should arrive within half an hour. When would you like to proceed with your plan, Mister Yang? Of course, we will follow your lead," President Mishima asked.

Yang Jian checked the time, "Since everything will be ready within half an hour, let's start the operation at noon. We should try to resolve this early; I don't want to drag this matter on. The Ghost Door Knocker case is very uncertain."

"As expected, Mister Yang is straightforward. We indeed made the right choice by working with you," President Mishima laughed.

He was also somewhat worried that Yang Jian would intentionally delay, maybe for a few days or even half a month. By then, the impact and loss caused by the supernatural event would be incalculable.

Yang Jian opened the safety deposit box and inspected the three eerie porcelain pieces. He noticed that the shape of the porcelain was completely different from the first piece they had; although all four pieces were humanoid, their expressions varied drastically: some were struggling, some howling, some lying there straight.

Morover, there were both male and female figures, with no similarities between them.

"Does this thing's medium require an ID?" Yang Jian asked.

Mishima replied, "No, it just requires a commonly used personal item, and the more it represents the person's identity, the better. For example, a lock of hair or a frequently worn piece of clothing would suffice. Didn't Wang Xin tell you about this, Mister Yang? This really is negligence on his part."

"But Mister Yang, do be careful, porcelain is very fragile. If someone accidentally breaks the porcelain, that would be quite a troublesome issue, so make sure to place it in a safe location when using it."

"I have a clear understanding of that," Yang Jian said. He had already conducted experiments using Wang Xin.

Thus, if he were to use Ghost Porcelain, he would definitely transfer the porcelain directly to the depths underground using Ghost Domain, to prevent any man-made damage.

Just as Yang Jian was about to put away the items and continue eating,

"Tsss, tsss!"

The chandelier in the small store suddenly flickered, the surrounding light dimming for a moment. Not just the store, even the airport lobby darkened as if it had suddenly gone from noon to evening.

"What's going on? Is there a problem outside? Has the incident already spread over here?" President Mishima immediately set down his cup and asked.

Yang Jian's gaze shifted slightly, and he opened his ghost eye to take a look.

It wasn't the Ghost Door Knocker causing the incident; it was an unknown supernatural phenomenon. However, the impact of this level was minor. If it were a ghost, it should have been more significant. It was highly probable… it was a ghost manipulator.

Shortly after, Wang Ye breathlessly ran up to the entrance of the store, saying, "President, it's Tianye. He heard that he wasn't chosen to lead the operation this time and rushed over here regardless. He's demanding a change in plan."

"That bastard Tianye."

President Mishima was immediately furious, "His abilities are entirely insufficient for this incident. Tell him to go back and not to cause any trouble."

"President, it's too late. Tianye has already arrived at the airport," Wang Ye said with an unpleasant expression.

Yang Jian spoke calmly, "President Mishima, although it's not my place to inquire about your Exorcism Club's affairs, what's with this Tianye? Is he so eager to join the operation?"

"He's an arrogant and conceited individual. He failed in the last operation, causing the death of many. He thinks he can handle this matter, but he'll only make things worse. His ineptitude and self-esteem have distorted his judgment. I hope he can calm down; otherwise, I will definitely punish him," President Mishima said angrily while speaking of Tianye.

A hint of a smile appeared on Yang Jian's otherwise calm face, "As we would say back home, 'a pig-headed teammate.' It seems your Exorcism Club is quite lacking in talent."

"Mister Yang, my apologies for making you laugh."

What Yang Jian didn't know was that it wasn't because the Exorcism Club lacked talent, but rather an S-rank paranormal incident had taken a toll on a group of top-tier ghost masters to the extent that they were now powerless against such terrifying specters. They had no choice but to seek help from outside. If they didn't, and suffered another loss, then the Exorcism Club would go bankrupt.

This was the same reason why, during the Hungry Ghost incident, headquarters also sought international assistance.

It was because of the precedent set by the Exorcism Club that Cao Yanhua and the others did not want to lose their best people. Hence, even if it cost a huge sum to ask for help, it was worth it.

"President, I can't contact Tianye, that guy has cut off communication," Wang Xin reported from outside the store at this moment.

"Dammit, what is he trying to do?" Mishima exclaimed, both startled and enraged.

Yang Jian calmly observed the sake cup before him. In the dim shadow, the sake reflected a blurred human figure standing beside him, peering at everyone. Yet, the others did not take notice, still perceiving no abnormalities, only sensing a change in the lighting.

"Regardless of his intentions, the Tianye you speak of is already here. I didn't expect him to possess a Ghost Domain. Though it's nothing special, it's still somewhat useful. After all, ghost masters who have a Ghost Domain are quite rare."

Upon hearing this, President Mishima immediately shouted, "Tianye, come out this instant! Don't ruin this operation. Do you want to be the sinner?"

But before he could finish, a woman by his side let out a sharp shriek and was then flung out of the small store, landing on the ground with her neck twisted at an unbelievable angle, accompanied by the sound of snapping bones.

Dead.

Without a doubt, a mature and lovely woman had just been killed, her neck broken alive.

Yang Jian's face remained calm. He did not intervene, considering it a matter for the Exorcism Club, and as an outsider, he felt no need to get involved.

Keiko turned pale with fear at the sight and trembled all over. She clutched the hem of Yang Jian's clothes and whispered, "Mister Yang, please, protect me. I'm scared and don't want to die..."

She was afraid of becoming the next target to be thrown out of the small store.

Here, Keiko could only rely on Yang Jian.

Yang Jian calmly glanced at her, saying nothing.

Just then, a bizarre voice was heard nearby: "Hey, President, is this the outside help you've summoned? As I see it, he's nothing but a cowardly incompetent. He didn't even have the courage to save someone. How could he possibly handle that incident?"

"Shut up, Tianye, you've gone too far. Leave immediately, or you'll definitely pay a price," President Mishima shouted in anger.

The appearance of Tianye not only caused him to lose face but also posed a potential threat to the upcoming operation.

"Ah! No, please don't."

Another scream followed as a second accompanying woman was flung out by an invisible force. Instead of breaking her neck, her body plunged into the concrete floor, leaving only a pair of powerless, flailing arms visible.

Soon.

The hands that had served food to Yang Jian ceased moving, rigidly hanging in mid-air, motionless evermore.

"The next one will be that cute girl by his side. Try to stop me if you can, the famed Ghost Eye Yang Jian."

The sinister voice of Tianye echoed in their ears. He remained unseen while a chilling air lingered, refusing to disperse.

Keiko, hearing this, was on the verge of collapse, desperate, with a tearful voice: "No, I don't want to die yet..."

Yang Jian stayed firmly in place, seemingly indifferent: "Truly an incapable weakling. President Mishima, will you let your people continue this madness? What about the dignity and face of a club president?"

"I'm terribly sorry."

President Mishima was mortified: "I really can't control Tianye. I hope Mister Yang can teach him a lesson and stop his arrogance."

He had arrived in haste and, due to a lack of staff and without any fellow ghost masters, he seemed quite helpless.

"So you say I'm an incapable weakling?"

Tianye's voice continued. The entire table in front of Yang Jian was flung out, crashing outside into a chaotic heap, wasting a table full of good food.

Yang Jian, accustomed to treacherous situations, didn't even blink. "Isn't attacking innocent women the act of an impotent coward? I've been sitting right here; why haven't you made a move against me? Are you afraid of me, or have you sensed danger and subconsciously tried to avoid dragging me into this?"

"Damn it, I've decided that I'm going to finish you next."

A dark, annoyed tone emanated from Tianye.

"What are you waiting for then, just do it. Don't prattle on like a child; it's embarrassing."

Putting down his chopsticks, Yang Jian slowly removed the gloves from his hands.

He didn't know if Tianye had come here by accident to cause trouble or if it was a deliberate arrangement meant to test and see his level, but he felt that if he didn't take down this guy today, after having been praised by Mishima for so long, it would be somewhat of a blow to his face.

Suddenly.

A red ghostly eye of Yang Jian moved slightly, like a fierce ghost watching, and the lingering cold atmosphere nearby began to stir strangely.

Tianye, standing in the corner of the small shop, felt the gaze of that eye and shuddered, as if he were back to his first terrifying supernatural encounter. Even in the Ghost Domain, he couldn't completely isolate himself from the prying of that eye.

"Is it an illusion? He can't possibly pinpoint my location," Tianye thought to himself.

But as he moved and changed positions, the eye followed, its gaze constantly fixed on him.

At that moment, Tianye was certain that this guy's eye was indeed staring at him and that no matter how he changed his position, he couldn't escape its gaze.

"Damn it."

Yet, even so, this did not dissuade Tianye from his intentions to strike against Yang Jian. He couldn't swallow the humiliation from the mockery he had endured, no matter what.

However, before Tianye had the chance to make his move,

a blackened dead hand seemed to emerge from nowhere beneath him and grasped his ankle.

"What?" Feeling the icy and rigid touch from below, Tianye couldn't help but look down.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the blackened hand yanked hard at him, causing Tianye's footing to falter and he crashed heavily to the ground. At that moment, he felt pain as if all his bones were about to break.

"Hiss, hiss!"

The lights in the small shop flickered, and the next moment, everything returned to normal, brightening up the surroundings.

The blackened hand kept pulling at Tianye, bringing him closer.

"Bastard, let go of me." He struggled, a growing unease inside him.

"Tianye's Ghost Domain is gone?"

President Mishima, observing the calmness restored around them, showed a look of surprise and then turned his attention to Yang Jian, who was sitting motionless there.

It seemed that just now, he hadn't made any move and had remained seated the whole time.

"How did someone as incompetent and brainless as you survive this long is a miracle. If I had wanted to finish you off, it wouldn't take me even a second."

Yang Jian picked up a chopstick and fiercely stabbed it through Tianye's hand, pinning one of his hands to the ground.

"Ah!"

Tianye howled in agony as he tried to struggle, but he couldn't move at all. What was worse, he couldn't even use the power of the ghost inside him.

Yang Jian picked up another chopstick. "I don't care what your purpose is, I just want you to know that offending me will have dire consequences. This is just a small warning for you."

As he spoke, the second chopstick pierced through Tianye's other hand.

All Tianye could do was scream in pain. He couldn't struggle because it felt as if countless hands were writhing within him, constantly eroding every inch of his flesh.

"President Mishima, today I'm giving you some face by not killing this guy, but only this once. If such a situation happens again and I encounter it, I'll make him vanish directly, and then President Mishima, you can't blame me for not giving you a heads-up." Yang Jian picked up another chopstick and knocked on the head of Tianye, who was wailing on the ground next to him.

It seemed as if the chopstick could pierce through his head at any moment.

"Also, remember to discipline this guy next time. Because of his mistake, it could very well be attributed to your Exorcism Club, and I can't predict what might happen then."

"Do you have the capability to easily kill Tianye?"

President Mishima saw that the previously arrogant Tianye now had no power to resist and was at the mercy of Yang Jian's hurt.

He knew that there was a huge gap between the two men that he couldn't see.

"I'm very grateful for your generosity, Mister. Such an accident will absolutely not happen again, I stake my life on it."

President Mishima bowed to Yang Jian and his respect for him grew, even more convinced that hiring him was the right decision, even if the cost was significant.

"Time's about up, I've had my meal and I'm fully rested, so it's time to start work. Your people should also be here by now, and President Mishima, you must be busy too."

At this time, Yang Jian stood up and picked up the luggage bag beside him.

"Then I'll leave everything in your capable hands," President Mishima said, bowing again.

As Yang Jian left the small shop, Wang Xin immediately presented him with a satellite-positioned cell phone and a file.

"Team Leader Yang, please take this phone so we can contact you at any time. Also, this file contains the information on three individuals who are currently waiting on the outskirts of Kobe City for Team Leader Yang to join them."

"Give the phone to Keiko," Yang Jian said as he took the file.

Keiko, who had followed behind, was still shaken. She hadn't expected that the dangerous situation from before would be resolved so easily, and that she would walk out of the small shop safely.

"Keiko, please make sure to take good care of Mister Yang," Wang Xin said seriously, handing the phone to Keiko as if he were issuing a warning.

"Yes," Keiko nodded nervously.

"Let's go."

Yang Jian glanced through the file a few times, shook his head secretly, then casually tossed it away.

The three people sent over were of little use, likely just cannon fodder.

It made sense; after all, they had asked for him, so why would they be willing to send other significant spirit manipulators to cooperate? It was clearly to cut their losses.

But to solve a paranormal event, sometimes the presence of cannon fodder cannot be avoided, since no one can be absolutely sure of surviving the first attack of an evil ghost without understanding its killing pattern.

Yang Jian hadn't walked far when, in the next moment, a red light flashed around them.

He and Keiko disappeared from the airport, vanishing into thin air.

"Yang Jian has already arrived at the designated rendezvous point," a staff member reported the next moment.

This was information obtained through the cell phone positioning signal.

"What are you kidding? There's at least ten kilometers between here and the agreed spot," exclaimed another team leader.

"Don't make a fuss," said President Mishima, stepping forward, his previously smiling face becoming extremely serious. "The late Team Leader Wang Ye was right in his assessment, Yang Jian truly has the potential to become a great asset. His Ghost Domain can easily cover an entire city, which has now been confirmed, and that's not even his full extent."

"He truly is a frightening man," many thought with awe.

Seeing this, Wang Xin's lips curled into a slight smile. He knew his mission was a success, and perhaps all that was left was to wait for the good news to come.

As for Tianye... today was a total disgrace.
