Mysterious Revival Chapter 1123 1089– Face as a Canvas

“With the ghost constantly following you, how do you plan to rescue me out? Once you're targeted by a ghost, maybe we'll all die here.”

Leuk San was very apprehensive of the female corpse floating around Yang Jian.

Because he knew that under normal circumstances, Yang Jian would absolutely not allow such a fierce ghost to linger nearby.

The only explanation for the current situation was that Yang Jian had no way to deal with this fierce ghost.

“Taking a risk is better than waiting here to die.” Yang Jian said calmly, “If you don't want to leave, just say so. I'll let you stay in the water waiting for your death.”

“Captain Yang, please don't be angry. I'm just worried about the subsequent actions. Honestly, I'm very grateful that Captain Yang is risking himself to save me this time. In the future, if there is anything you need help with, just let me know. I'll do what I can to help.” Leuk San said.

Yang Jian stopped arguing with him and reached out to grab Leuk San: “Let's go.”

Immediately.

He, under the pressure of the fierce ghost beside him, took Li Jun and Leuk San and began to ascend, intending to quickly leave Ghost Lake, to avoid any unforeseen risks.

“I'm a bit curious, I used supernatural means to hide myself, even the fierce ghost in Ghost Lake could not pinpoint my location, how did you find me?” Suddenly, Yang Jian asked a question that troubled him.

Leuk San said, “No, I didn't find you, Captain Yang. I just saw the spear in your hand and Li Jun's skin, then tried shouting out, and sure enough, you responded. With such obvious evidence, if I still didn't know it was you, wouldn't that mean there's something wrong with my brain?”

“…”

Yang Jian looked at the spear in his hand.

Supernatural can't affect Gold, this thing is indeed conspicuous, anyone who sees it would know he's around.

The speed of ascent was a bit slow.

It wasn't because of any interference, but rather the floating female corpse became increasingly difficult to deal with.

With two people in tow, avoiding any contact with the female corpse was extremely challenging.

Yang Jian's ghost eyes had already opened several, capturing all directions with no visual blind spots, yet despite this, some minor unexpected situations still arose.

The female corpse's strands of long black hair, during their drifting, wrapped around Leuk San's leg.

Upon this contact, those strands of black hair tightened like water weeds in the lake.

“Not good.” Leuk San detected it, his face suddenly changed.

Before he could think further.

The next moment.

The female corpse seemed to suddenly awaken, her pale eyes rotated slightly, finally resting on Leuk San, her stiff face slowly showing a rigid smile.

“Yang Jian, move quickly.” Leuk San shouted loudly.

His body unable to move, he could only urge anxiously.

Although the killing pattern of Ghost Lake was understood, don't forget there still exists a potential indiscriminate killing pattern when facing some fierce ghosts, even some potential killing methods.

Thus, the closer one gets to a fierce ghost, the higher the probability of being targeted by it.

“Not good, the body is disintegrating…”

Leuk San's pupils shrank intensely at this moment, he saw his own legs gradually showing signs of dissolving, as if to become part of this lake water.

“Just a lot of fuss over nothing, endure it yourself, it's just a little injury.” Yang Jian was unmoved, he merely accelerated the pace of action as Leuk San was attacked.

Leuk San's body seemed quite resilient, temporarily enduring even when targeted by the ghost in Ghost Lake.

This was related to the fact that he didn't have a living body.

If it had been a living human body, the moment of contact would have led to complete dissolution instantly, as Yang Jian had personally attempted before.

The female corpse at this moment was completely focused on Leuk San, more hair entwining around him, and furthermore, the female corpse slowly lay on Leuk San's back, extending her cold arms to strangle his neck.

Under such circumstances, Leuk San had no way to break free.

“Yang Jian, are you trying to save me or harm me…” Leuk San exclaimed with shock and urgency.

But he stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

The female corpse's pale head was close to his face, slightly open-mouthed, bringing forth a series of whispered voices.

This sound wasn't speech, nor was it a tone a living person could produce, very peculiar.

Upon hearing the ominous words uttered by the fierce ghost, Leuk San seemed to be suffering from a most dreadful curse, his whole body convulsing, while blood flowed from his nose, ears, mouth, and even eyes, thick and dark, not normal fresh blood, but congealed blood of the deceased.

Yang Jian also heard this sound, he abruptly turned to look at the female corpse, revealing an expression of amazement.

Because at this moment, not only was Leuk San affected, but by just overhearing a few odd phrases, Yang Jian's head was ringing, his consciousness slightly scrambled.

If a normal person heard it, they might have dropped dead on the spot.

Not daring to hesitate any further.

Yang Jian at this moment raised the spear in his hand and slashed towards the fierce ghost lying on Leuk San's body.

Without any incident.

The head of the female corpse was sliced off by Yang Jian.

Even in Ghost Lake, the Firewood Knife was still terrifying.

The eerie whispering vanished at this moment, while the female corpse's body began to quickly disintegrate, turning into a puddle of water merging into Ghost Lake.

But immediately afterward.

The surrounding waters stirred.

The chilling female corpse appeared once again, its lost head returning, restored completely.

And this time it seemed different from before.

More than just one female corpse appeared.

A second female corpse appeared.

A third female corpse also appeared.

The appearances and clothes of the three corpses were different, yet all bore that stiffly smiling expression.

“The number has increased.” Yang Jian's face slightly changed.

This was a completely different situation from before, earlier when he faced the female corpse, the number hadn't increased.

This change occurred after the fierce ghost whispered into Leuk San's ear just now.

Those brief whispers seemed to trigger some unpredictable change.

“Leuk San, what exactly did that fierce ghost say to you?” Yang Jian quickened his pace while asking urgently.

The lake's surface was getting closer.

“How would I know? I was disoriented then, only strange sounds by my ear.” Leuk San replied miserably, not knowing what had happened either.

Surviving the attack without dying already spoke to his tenacity.

Had it been someone else, they'd be dead already, let alone able to speak.

“Forget it.”

Yang Jian looked at the near surface of the lake, ignoring the surrounding fierce ghosts, and crashed through the female corpses, breaking through the water.

“Splash!”

Just emerging briefly from the lake surface, the chilling feeling rapidly subsided.

A ship?

He saw an enormous wooden ship floating on Ghost Lake, and its style seemed familiar, wasn't it just like the one Yang Jian had previously bought from the paper store on Ghost Street?

“On the boat.”

Yang Jian did not hesitate, he needed to find the nearest place to get ashore, and since the boat was right in front of him, he might as well board it directly.

His ghost eyes emitted a red light, gazing at the wooden ship.

A rigid, black ghost hand appeared out of thin air, fiercely gripping the wooden boat. Then, his entire body leapt up, completely escaping from Ghost Lake.

Splash!

A few people landed heavily on the deck of the wooden boat, their entire bodies soaked through, with water persistently oozing out, resembling drowned corpses.

“Did they succeed?”

Upon witnessing the commotion here, Boss Liu on the nearby black boat had his eyes light up in surprise.

“Success? This is just the beginning. They've been entangled by the ghosts in the lake, this is the most fatal,” the one-eyed elder said grimly.

In his pale eyes, he saw Yang Jian, Leuk San, and the shriveled human skin of Li Jun, each followed by a female corpse. That female corpse wasn't real, it was illusory, their forms adhered together as if cursed, all sealing them with Ghost Lake's mark.

However, Yang Jian's form was so fuzzy it almost disappeared, seemingly interfered by some supernatural force, only recognizable by the water on his clothes.

“Ghost Lake is only a part of the ghost, the real danger is the malevolent spirit itself. If it were easy to deal with this ghost, we wouldn't have needed a coffin to send it away before.”

“This dangerous?” Boss Liu queried.

“When are ghosts ever not dangerous? But this is an opportunity, the malevolent spirit has set its sights on them, so there's a sequence in killing. I must seize this chance to retrieve the corpses,” the one-eyed elder said, taking a step forward.

The small black wooden boat shook violently.

“How do you retrieve them? The corpses have disintegrated,” Boss Liu asked.

The one-eyed elder replied, “The corpses are all in the lake water. The moment the malevolent spirit appears, the corpses show up. That's when you catch the malevolent spirit and snatch the corpses, it won't guard a single corpse forever, it has enough replacements in the water.”

“It's a bit difficult to snatch the corpse from the malevolent spirit, but it's not completely impossible.”

After saying this.

The one-eyed elder unexpectedly leapt straight into the chilling lake water.

He, however, grasped a piece of clothing in his hand.

It was the last piece of clothing left by that woman after she died, he needs to use it to counter Ghost Lake's influence.

Based on judgment, this clothing paired with his own supernatural power should withstand Ghost Lake, as some of the ghostly influence has been stolen away, no longer as terrifying.

If judged incorrectly, the one-eyed elder's leap would be suicide.

Yang Jian, amidst the happenings on the black boat, had no time to care; he stood on the deck, removed his ring, revealing himself.

Leuk San lay on the ground, slowly regaining movement.

But the first anomaly appeared in Li Jun.

More precisely, his terrifying human skin.

Freed from Ghost Lake's suppression, Ghost Flame suddenly flared and burned, filling the shriveled skin instantaneously, and the skin abruptly stood upright.

The uncontrollable Ghost Flame burst forth, as if burning the surroundings, and Yang Jian even smelled the scorched stench emanating from himself.

Without Li Jun's control, this was a true ghostly resurgence.

“At this moment, don't cause trouble for me,” Yang Jian fiercely flung the Coffin Nail, directly piercing through the hollow eye socket of the human skin, nailing it to the deck.

The resurgent malevolent spirit suddenly returned to deathly silence.

“Ah Hong, bring Li Jun back,” he shouted to the distance.

In the top half of a building submerged in water afar.

Feng Quan, Ah Hong, and Cao Yang witnessed the scene taking place.

In the next moment.

Three people vanished directly and appeared on the deck the next instant.

Ghost Domain… yet not Feng Quan's Ghost Domain.

Yang Jian glanced at Cao Yang.

Indeed, this guy also possesses Ghost Domain.

Cao Yang said, “Ah Hong is almost done for, she can't utilize supernatural power anymore.”

Ah Hong lay on the ground, in a coma, her face already decayed, inflicted with various strange dyes.

Yang Jian frowned.

He retrieved the Deceiving Ghost's necklace.

Supernatural influence alters reality, trying to restore Ah Hong's body.

However, the necklace could affect Ah Hong's body but couldn't swiftly repair her face.

Ah Hong had applied makeup too many times, entangled deeply with the supernatural, though the necklace played an effect, the outcome was too slow, such restoration would take at least half a day.

But the situation here cannot wait for half a day.

“Should I use Ghost Shadow to splice her body, rip off her face, and replace it with a new one? No, won't do, post face swap, Ah Hong wouldn't be herself anymore,” Yang Jian recalled a supernatural experience before, Tong Qian nearly died from a face swap back then.

“Who's there?”

Suddenly.

Feng Quan shouted, looking towards the direction of the cabin.

At some unknown time.

A tall but faceless man stood there, facing this way, silent.

“Is it that Faceless Person from the small boat?” Feng Quan, gripping the shovel, prepared to confront.

The Faceless Person could not speak, gesturing, “I can save her.”

Yang Jian's eyes shifted slightly, “Feng Quan, let him save Ah Hong.”

He chose to trust once.

For if the Faceless Person intended harm, he would have acted sooner, not suddenly appeared now.

Feng Quan stared at the Faceless Person, ultimately chose to step aside.

The Faceless Person walked over.

His towering figure emanated a kind of oppressive aura, as if nothing could stand in his way.

The Faceless Person approached Ah Hong and extended his hand.

Both hands covered Ah Hong's face, completely concealing her decayed facial features.

Very soon.

As he opened his hands, all defects on Ah Hong's face vanished, but similarly… Ah Hong's face was gone.

Ah Hong had become a new Faceless Person.

“What are you doing? You've taken her face away,” Cao Yang said with a sullen expression, immediately questioning.

The Faceless Person did not speak, merely took the makeup case in Ah Hong's hand and handed it to Yang Jian, then gestured, indicating her face wouldn't rot anymore but needed a new face.

“Drawn face?” Yang Jian's eyes glinted, realizing swiftly upon seeing the makeup case.

If Li Jun can be drawn, why can't Ah Hong?

So he promptly took the bizarre makeup case, opened it, and began painting on Ah Hong's faceless face.

“Yang Jian, do you know makeup? What if the drawing is unlike, wouldn't that be bad,” Cao Yang said.

“I can do everything.”

Yang Jian skillfully outlined eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth for Ah Hong.

And the drawing was remarkably refined, much like a makeup artist's work, astonishingly beautiful.

But just at that moment, tucked on one side, Leuk San suddenly heard a familiar, eerie whisper beside him.

His body seemed to become extraordinarily damp.
