Mysterious Revival

```

Walking through a dim, silent graveyard filled with old graves inherently breeds fear and unease.

Especially since this old graveyard is within the Ghost Domain.

Everyone understands that there are definitely ghosts within the Ghost Domain, but looking at these graves scattered everywhere, it wouldn't seem strange if a ghost appeared at any moment. The only hope was that the encountered ghosts wouldn't be too terrifying and that they could be dealt with by their group. If they encountered an unmanageable malevolent spirit,

the consequences would be severe.

It could well mean someone's death.

And by someone, it's not a common person that would die, but a ghost controller.

"Sis, I can't go on any further."

At the end of the group, a 15 or 16-year-old boy named Xiao Haw spoke up, his face filled with fear. He trembled all over, and each step he took among these old graves took a tremendous amount of courage.

Liu Xinyue, Liu Yuan's daughter, was just over twenty years old. Though she was an adult, her fears in this situation were no less than her younger brother's.

Her only support was the sense of responsibility to take care of her family.

If she collapsed, what would happen to her younger brother?

"Don't worry, nothing will happen, as long as we follow them,"

Liu Xinyue said with a trembling voice, looking towards the people at the front, especially the one named Yang Jian.

Even though she didn't know any of these people, she wasn't stupid.

The one called Yang Jian was the core of these people, whose word was law, and even the person who randomly fired his gun and even attempted to steal from his grandmother's coffin had no choice but to listen to him.

As to why this was the case, Liu Xinyue wasn't sure.

If there was an accident, she could only muster the courage to ask that man for help.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to the thoughts of these two ordinary people at the back of the line, or cared whether they were scared. That was because suddenly, a series of crisp knocking sounds began to float through the air between the graves.

The sound was like someone carving inscriptions on a tombstone with some tool.

In such a place, could there really be others repairing graves and stone monuments?

If there were, would they be among the living?

The clear 'ding ding' sounds echoed around them, reaching everyone's ears. Merely at the sound's onset, everyone became silent at once, and some were even struck by a chill that left them frozen.

Ghosts?

The same thought popped into everyone's minds.

The next moment,

Sun Rui, Li Yang, Luo Su Yi, and Lin Luomei all turned their gazes towards Yang Jian.

Under these circumstances, what was he going to do?

However, to everyone's shock, Yang Jian paused briefly, furrowed his brow as if pondering or weighing something, and then made a decision, or a choice. He didn't proceed with caution to assess the situation or choose to flee but instead bolted forward.

Indeed.

No mistake there.

Yang Jian actually ran towards the source of the sound.

"Yang, calm down," Sun Rui's face changed drastically as he urgently called out.

"Encountering a ghost might be a good thing. If we can deal with it at once and not give it a chance to kill, why should we, so many people, be afraid?" Yang Jian had already dashed off, his voice coming through.

There were many ghost controllers in the team.

Unless they encountered an Unsolvable Level ghost like a Ghost Envoy, they all had a fighting chance.

If they won, this whole incident would be over.

"He's still as audacious as ever," Luo Su Yi said as he watched, his eyelids twitching.

Reminiscing about the past, when he and Yang Jian faced the incident at Caesar's Hotel, Yang Jian acted in the same way, charging in with Xiong Wenwen without a second thought.

Yang Jian's ghost eye had already opened, and he scanned his surroundings, quickly moving around two or three graves that obstructed his view, heading straight towards the direction of the sound.

With his swift action, he got ever closer to the source of those 'ding' sounds.

"It's just ahead."

He sped up, trying to find the ghost in this graveyard.

When confronting a ghost, it's extremely dangerous. Yang Jian kept a calm expression, ready to respond to whatever might happen.

"If I go around the grave up ahead, I'll be able to see it."

He was very close to the source of the sound now, only a few meters away, but because his view was blocked, he couldn't peer through with his ghost eye and had to approach it personally.

"Yang, don't be rash, stay calm,"

Sun Rui tried to stop him from behind, feeling that Yang Jian was being too reckless by actively moving towards the knocking sounds.

If a ghost targeted him or if it triggered the ghost's murder pattern, the situation, which was still somewhat under control, could turn eerie and unpredictable.

However, just as Yang Jian passed the last old grave, the knocking sound that was previously within arm's reach suddenly stopped.

There was no sign, no anomaly, the sound just vanished into thin air.

Yang Jian's face changed immediately; he had reached the front of that old grave.

The sound had come from this very location.

But he saw nothing, no person and no ghost. The surrounding area was empty, void of anything.

"Am I a step too late? Or did the ghost leave instantly because I approached... After all, this is a world of the Ghost Domain," Yang Jian surveyed his surroundings.

He quickly withdrew his gaze.

His attention landed on an apparently newly erected tombstone in front of the old grave.

The tombstone was made of ordinary materials, with nothing strange about it.

However, on this tombstone were a few characters that looked freshly carved, the writing was crooked and not upright, and each stroke had traces of red paint—likely not paint but bloodstains, which had dribbled down the etchings, forming several red trails.

The words on this tombstone, upon closer examination, appeared to be: Luo Su Yi.

The characters were in traditional script, and with the sloppy, twisted writing, as well as the obscuring bloodstains, it took Yang Jian a moment to recognize them.

As soon as he did, Yang Jian immediately looked up, glancing back in the direction he had come from.

At this moment,

Sun Rui, Li Yang, Luo Su Yi, and Lin Luomei were quickly approaching.

```

"Team Leader Yang, what's the situation? The sound seems to have stopped. Have you successfully subdued that ghost?"

Sun Rui leaned on his cane, walking at the front. Although one of his legs was inconvenient, his pace hadn't fallen behind at all.

Yang Jian didn't speak but fixed his gaze firmly on Luo Su Yi, who was behind him.

The knocking sound just now was unmistakable.

It was a ghost here, engraving a tombstone.

However, the inscription on the tombstone was completed, bearing the name of Luo Su Yi.

If this was indeed the ghost's way of attacking, then now Luo Su Yi would be facing unimaginable horror and danger.

"Yang Jian, what's with that look? Why are you staring at me like that? Has something really serious happened?"

Feeling Yang Jian's intense gaze, Luo Su Yi suddenly became inexplicably uneasy.

He hurried over, feeling that something was amiss.

However, Luo Su Yi hadn't walked more than a few steps when suddenly one foot stepped into a void, plunging into the earth, sinking deep and passing his knee.

He staggered, falling forward, his hands instinctively bracing his body.

Yet as soon as his hands made contact with the muddy path, they too sank in, nearly swallowing a mouthful of mud.

"Damn it, this is just my luck. Who dug such a hole here..." Luo Su Yi immediately cursed, but before he could finish, his expression suddenly changed, and a fear rose from the pit of his stomach.

He felt that his limbs sunk in the soil were being grasped by something.

The sensation was most likely that of cold, stiff, dead human hands.

"It's not a pit; I've been attacked by a ghost."

Luo Su Yi realized in an instant. He wanted to fight back, to break free from the ghost's grip, but what was more terrifying was that...

The ghost inside him was suppressed.

No, not just suppressed; it seemed to be drawn out.

The loose, dirty, and dark grave soil on the ground seemed to want to bury both the ghost and himself.

The feeling was like an ordinary person falling into a swamp, unable to struggle, only sinking faster the more they tried.

"Quick, help, help me," Luo Su Yi yelled, crying out in terror for assistance.

Lin Luomei, who was nearby, was the first to react. She began to speak, her voice shrill and strange, like that of a fierce ghost, chilling to the bone, in stark contrast with her cute appearance: "Let him go."

The fierce ghost spoke, carrying an incomprehensible and eerie power.

This voice could briefly disrupt the actions of other ghosts and even command them for a few seconds.

In supernatural events, this ability could be life-saving at a critical moment.

However, as soon as the fierce ghost's voice appeared, it vanished the moment it touched the soil.

Lin Luomei's mouth, which had just opened, suddenly closed, feeling a puckered, fishy taste as if she had eaten a mouthful of mud.

She immediately became somewhat panicked.

This situation, though previously encountered by Lin Luomei, had never been quite so peculiar as this time.

"What to do?" In her panic, she didn't know what would be best to do.

But at that moment, Yang Jian rushed over, grabbed Luo Su Yi by the back, and tried to pull him up from the ground.

However, accompanied by the sound of skin ripping and bones cracking,

Luo Su Yi's body seemed as if it was going to be torn apart alive by Yang Jian, but he remained firmly glued to the ground, continuing to sink, with only half his face remaining visible.

The pain made him scream out.

"Ghost Hand unable to form suppression..."

Yang Jian's blackened, rigid palm could only unleash a strength beyond that of an ordinary person, but the Ghost Hand's suppression had no effect whatsoever.

"Damn it."

Sun Rui reacted at this moment, quickly lifted his foot and kicked Luo Su Yi's body hard.

Luo Su Yi's body lifted slightly from the ground due to the kick, as if it would leave the ground.

But the next moment, he sank even deeper.

"This won't do, below, there's a ghost grasping me..." Luo Su Yi cried out in terror, but before he could finish, his head also sank in, leaving only his black scalp visible.

Yang Jian seemed to have guessed this would happen; his blackened, stiff palm reached directly along Luo Su Yi's arm and into the soil.

To suppress a ghost, one must make contact with it.

This is one of the Ghost Hand's weaknesses; if it cannot make contact, it cannot suppress out of thin air.

Yet, as he reached down, he felt nothing of Luo Su Yi's body buried in the soil, just a handful of mud.

It appeared as though the body was sinking, but in reality, it wasn't buried below at all.

In the Ghost Domain, anything could happen, Yang Jian had encountered such bizarre situations before.

"It's useless; he can't be saved."

Sun Rui spoke solemnly: "He was buried too quickly, we had no time to react. If we could have taken precautions, amputating the legs might have been possible, but now, we can't amputate everything below the back of the head, can we?"

"I wasn't decisive enough. I thought Luo Su Yi could hold out, or at least struggle a bit. After all, if I had acted first, Luo Su Yi might have thought I was trying to kill him. Then, focusing on dealing with me, he might ignore the ghost's attack. So, I prepared to give him a warning first, but I didn't expect that before I could speak, it would already have happened, and so quickly," Yang Jian lamented his mistake.

Who could have imagined that a living person, a ghost controller, would fall here and disappear just like that?

Lin Luomei, who seemed unwilling to see Luo Su Yi vanish, appeared to lose control of her emotions and rushed over. She knelt down with a thump on the ground, reaching out to dig through the loose, blackened soil, as if trying to dig out Luo Su Yi.

But as the ground was dug up, there was nothing beneath.

There was no body of Luo Su Yi.

Seeing this, Sun Rui glanced over but didn't try to dissuade her; instead, he turned to Yang Jian and asked, "Team Leader Yang, what exactly happened just now? Why did you have a premonition that Luo Su Yi would be attacked?"

His voice was calm, but his hands were tightly gripping his cane.

This betrayed his tension and a strong sense of unease.

Knowing that, had he been in that situation, he likely would have been done for as well.
