The resurrection of the eagle proved that Yang Jianâs previous speculation was correct. He used the supernatural power of the Deceiving Ghost to create a living body, and combined the Ghost Shadowâs power to modify othersâ memories by implanting a living personâs memory within. This method could indeed resurrect a person.
Currently, this method seems to have no side effects, and itâs much better than using the Ghost Mirror for resurrection.
Resurrecting someone with the Ghost Mirror requires releasing a malevolent ghost as a price, and the memory only remains at the moment of looking into the mirror. It also requires someone to stay by the Ghost Mirror and pull the resurrected person out of the mirror, otherwise they might be killed by the malevolent ghost in the mirror. In other words, there are severe side effects.
However, Yang Jian can only resurrect people whose memories he has stolen; those whose memories cannot be stolen cannot be resurrected by him.
For example, Feng Quan. Since Feng Quan controls three ghosts, and under his supernatural interference, the Ghost Shadow cannot steal memories, so Yang Jian cannot resurrect Feng Quan.
And Xiong Wenwen, for instance.
Xiong Wenwen is a paper person, equivalent to an anomaly, and his memories cannot be stolen, so Yang Jian also cannot resurrect him.
Additionally, those ghost controllers who can resist the invasion of the Ghost Shadow also cannot be resurrected by Yang Jian.
Therefore, there are still shortcomings and limitations.
But itâs already sufficient for now.
At least, Yang Jian can resurrect ordinary people without any concerns, with a cost so small itâs negligible. Because he is now an anomaly, as long as he doesnât frequently and excessively use the supernatural power of the Deceiving Ghost, he doesnât have to worry about being affected himself.
âWhat do you plan to do next after resurrecting me?â The eagle asked calmly after understanding the situation.
âIâve currently detached from the control of the post office, and Iâve essentially lost my eligibility to reach the fifth floor of the post office. I fear I wonât be able to help you with the upcoming mail delivery tasks or matters at the post office.â
Yang Jian said: âI resurrected you not to have you do anything for me; I was merely attempting this plan to resurrect the dead. Now that the plan has succeeded, thatâs all there is to it.â
âSo, I just got an extra life for free?â The eagle said.
Yang Jian nodded: âYou could say that. After all, an experiment always needs a subject, and since your performance in the old mansion wasnât bad, I decided to give you the first opportunity for resurrection. If it succeeded, it would be a gift from me. If it failed, it wouldnât matter since you were already dead.â
âIndeed, I really must thank you for this.â
The eagle said, âI just donât know if you need me to do anything next? If not, Iâd like to go out for a walk, make a few calls, and find out what the current situation is.â
âSure, if you donât want to stay here, you can leave now, and I wonât stop you.â
Yang Jian said: âIn the future, if you are free, you can come to Dachang City. Iâm the person in charge of this city. If you need work, you can join my company. The address is Shangtong Tower, and since you have experience with supernatural events, you are quite suitable for work at my company.â
âAlright, Iâll consider it.â The eagle nodded.
He wasnât being perfunctory; he truly would consider it. Because after so long in the Ghost Post Office, staying outside for such a long time, even after returning to normal life, he wouldnât know where to start again.
After all, supernatural events do occur in this world.
Perhaps moving to Dachang City and participating in work related to supernatural events would be a good choice. At least, he could understand the direction of supernatural events, determine the source of danger, and acquire information at the earliest opportunity, preventing himself from getting stuck in a supernatural event confused and dying an unclear death.
Yang Jian quickly sent the eagle off from the underground safe house and gave him some money, ensuring he wouldnât find himself in a difficult situation after leaving.
The eagle left very gratefully.
After leaving the Guanjiang Residential Complex, the eagle didnât rush home. He needed to observe his condition to confirm if there was anything unusual about himself after resurrection, and if he was identical to an ordinary person.
He strolled through the streets of Dachang City.
Compared to other cities, Dachang City appeared much quieter. The streets at night had few people, most shops along the roads were closed, with signs for rent, for sale, and other advertisement notes. Only the bustling areas had some crowds.
âIs this the Shangtong Tower?â
The eagle arrived at the bottom of a tower, where it was more lively than in other areas, full of people. Even at night, this tower was still brightly lit.
âThe security is tight, at least four to five covert lines watching me.â His eyes narrowed as he sensed several unusual glances.
He knew he was already completely locked onto.
If there was anything unusual about himself, it wouldnât take long for someone to come investigate him.
The eagle didnât stay long but turned to leave. He went to a nearby small shop, opened by a middle-aged man, who was telling a customer some strange stories from his past as a taxi driver.
âI want to make a call.â
The eagle greeted, picked up the landline, and started dialing a number, but halfway through, his hand stiffened and he stopped, then cleared the number and dialed another number instead.
The phone rang quickly and was answered.
âHello, who is this?â A womanâs slightly indifferent voice came from the other end of the line.
âSure enough, Leuk Qingqing, youâre still alive. Itâs me, the eagle.â The eagle took a deep breath.
âBeep~!â The call was hung up in the next second.
The eagleâs eyes moved, but he didnât find it odd, because Leuk Qingqing definitely knew he was already dead. Now that he was resurrected and called her, it would be hard for anyone to accept.
However, he was not giving up and continued to make the call, still from the landline.
The second call was hung up again, but he wasnât in a hurry and continued to make the third and fourth calls.
After dialing seven or eight calls, it finally wasnât hung up and was connected again.
âLeuk Qingqing, this is not a supernatural call. I truly have come back to life.â The eagle spoke immediately when the call was answered.
There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by an astonished tone: âThatâs impossible, you are already dead, how could you still be alive? I personally carried your body out of the old mansion and buried it in that old forest.â
âItâs somewhat complicated to explain, and I donât know the specifics. All I know is that the first person I saw when I awoke was Yang Jian. He said he resurrected me; Iâll just choose to believe it. Iâm calling you to confirm the previous situation and see whatâs really going on.â
âAlthough I didnât see you during the last delivery mission, according to my guess, you should still be alive. If even you had died, then the rest wouldnât have survived.â
âIncredible, you really came back to life.â
Leuk Qingqing on the other end seemed to have difficulty accepting the eagleâs resurrection.
But the voice and tone on the phone, and the understanding of the situation, without exception, all could prove the eagleâs identity.
âThe matter of the old mansion just concluded today. I, Yang Jian, Li Yang, and that person named Zhou Deng survived and escaped that supernatural realm. The Yang Xiaohua with the red balloon died, ultimately eliminated by the malevolent ghost resurrected in the old mansion. Thatâs the result.â Leuk Qingqing said.
The eagle said: âAround when did I die? Since you survived, you must have participated in the subsequent delivery mission and know my situation.â
âYou died on the sixth day in the old mansion, the day of your funeral. You died peacefully, as if you just fell asleep.â Leuk Qingqing replied.
The sixth day, day of the funeral?
The eagle frowned. He had no memory of this; his last memory was on the second day of vigil.
In other words, there was a four-day memory gap.
Why hadnât Yang Jian told him about this? Was this deliberately concealed, or was the memory gap caused by his resurrection? Or was this memory gap intentionally created by Yang Jian?
âHow was Yang Jianâs attitude towards me when I died?â The eagle asked.
âIt was quite good. It was a normal collaboration. You contributed a lot. Without you holding off the malevolent ghost, things wouldnât have been so smooth. It seems you also have amnesia, which is somewhat similar to my situation. I often forget, and it gets worse over time. Iâm worried something will go wrong eventually.â Leuk Qingqing replied.
The eagle said: âSince youâre still alive and this delivery mission is over, next time you go to the Ghost Post Office, you can go to the fifth floor. By then, youâll have a chance to rid yourself of these supernatural events and still have a chance to survive.â
âI hope soâŠâ Leuk Qingqingâs voice lacked confidence.
Even if one reached the fifth floor of the post office, three letters still needed to be delivered, and those three letters would not be easy to get through.
The eagle chatted with Leuk Qingqing a little longer, and he roughly understood his situation while Leuk Qingqing believed in his resurrection.
After hanging up the phone,
In another city, Leuk Qingqing still had a look of disbelief on her face. She frowned slightly and murmured, âReversing life and death? Can Yang Jian really do it? He wasnât lying. I thought he said those things just to selfishly stay alive, but I didnât expectâŠâ
At this moment, she felt a bit of inexplicable regret.
If Yang Jian could truly resurrect, it meant he could also bring back the dead couriers. For those messengers wishing to escape the postal service, the fastest way wasnât delivering letters or reaching the fifth floor of the post office, but simply dying once and having Yang Jian resurrect them. This way, they could directly break free from the post officeâs curse and return to normal.
Leuk Qingqing looked down at her seemingly beautiful but actually terrifying and supernatural body.
She also wanted to get rid of this outcome.
However⊠she sighed.
In the ancient house, she and Yang Jian had a falling out over some decisions. Yang Jian couldnât wait to kill her, so how could he possibly help her resurrect?
âIf we hadnât fallen out, perhaps he wouldâve likely helped resurrect me,â Leuk Qingqing murmured.
In fact, even if they hadnât fallen out, Yang Jian couldnât have helped resurrect her.
Leuk Qingqing was an anomaly, unable to steal memories. The only way to resurrect her was to use the Ghost Mirror, but the cost of the Ghost Mirror was too great, and Yang Jian rarely used its resurrection abilities.
At this moment.
After sending the eagle away, Yang Jian returned to Safe House Number One.
He still had unfinished business.
âSince the eagle is resurrected, why not try resurrecting others?â Yang Jian found the act of resurrecting the dead quite intriguing; resurrecting just one seemed insufficient.
He wanted to try bringing back a few more.
âWho should be the second person to resurrect?â Yang Jian pondered.
The choice of whom to resurrect required careful selection. He couldnât resurrect enemies nor irrelevant people. Although using supernatural power had a low cost, it couldnât be wasted on unrelated people. Thus, the resurrected person had to be valuable, or someone who could assist him.
Soon enough.
The second candidate emerged.
In front of Yang Jian, a blurry figure began to appear, then gradually became clearer and more realistic, eventually forming a living body without memory.
Then, the Ghost Shadow invaded, leaving a memory in this body.
It was exactly the same as when resurrecting the eagle.
Soon enough.
The second person gradually woke up.
It was a woman in her twenties, with a slightly petite figure.
Her name was Yang Xiaohua.
During the escape from the ancient house today, she was accidentally erased. Yang Jian felt Yang Xiaohua had followed his arrangements and that the red balloon indeed saved everyoneâs life in the end.
Yang Jian decided to give her the second resurrection slot.
Yang Xiaohua, in a daze as if waking from a dream, hadnât opened her eyes yet when she heard a familiar yet indifferent voice by her ear: âYouâre awake?â
âYang Jian?â The moment Yang Xiaohua saw Yang Jian, she wasnât surprised; instead, she looked around.
âNo need to look, this isnât the ancient house. The message delivery mission is over. Iâm sorry, but you died. Think back carefully on the last moment; everything is in your mind.â
Yang Jian pointed to his head. When he resurrected Yang Xiaohua, he altered some of her memories, letting her understand the process of her death.
Yang Xiaohua immediately recalled.
At last, when she floated away from the ancient house with the red balloon, the ghost targeted everyone. Her body became blurry and disappeared, then there was no more memory.
âWhatâs happening to me now?â Yang Xiaohua looked at her own body.
âI resurrected you. Itâs that simple. You are now free from the post office curse, and you regain your freedom,â Yang Jian said.
After hearing this news, Yang Xiaohua was stunned for a while.
Yang Jian did not pay attention to her and continued organizing some supernatural items.
He set aside the black and red Ghost Dice, and the blood-stained Ink Jade Bracelet in his hand also seemed peculiar. He planned to take it off and put it away, but after thinking carefully, he realized it might come in handy someday, so he dismissed the idea.
The cracked long spear in his hand was also temporarily unused, just placed in the safe house. If needed, he could invade it using the Ghost Domain and retrieve it within seconds.
After all, the safe house can only prevent paranormal invasions, not ghost handler intrusions.
Finally, he started studying the strange severed hand, trying to understand its killing pattern to see if it could be utilized.
The ghost in the ancient house sitting on the black Taishi Chair was extremely terrifying and had a deadly supernatural power. Da Qiang, dressed in mourning clothes, was instantly killed by this ghost without a chance to resist.
But at this moment.
Having recovered and understood the situation, Yang Xiaohua came over and hugged Yang Jian from behind, then said, âThank you.â
âNo need to thank me. I promised to let you live and escape the post office, and now Iâve done it. Others arenât so lucky because resurrecting the dead is taboo. I wonât abuse this ability,â Yang Jian said without turning his head.
This kind of resurrection could easily cause misunderstandings, or even fear, and isnât allowed in the supernatural circle, potentially inviting trouble.
âI know, Iâll keep this a secret for you. Now that Iâm free and out of the post officeâs control, Iâd like to follow you from now on, what do you think?â Yang Xiaohua raised her head slightly and said seriously.
Yang Jian was taken aback, then put down the strange severed hand he was studying and turned around: âWhat are you going to do following me?â
âShouldnât I follow you? I promised that as long as you let me live, I would belong to you. Donât feel burdened; I wonât interfere with your personal life. Of course, if you want, I can also play the role of your temporary girlfriend. Itâs up to you,â Yang Xiaohua said confidently, without feeling any shame.
She felt that in this terrifying world full of paranormal incidents, following Yang Jian was the best choice. Today she escaped the Ghost Post Office; who knows if she might get caught in another supernatural event tomorrow.
Since Yang Jian could even resurrect the dead, being with him was certainly a security assurance.
âIâm not interested in women⊠or men either. Youâre a post office messenger and should know how abnormal it is to be invaded by the supernatural,â Yang Jian said steadily.
âYou seem normal,â Yang Xiaohua assessed Yang Jian.
âI can make myself seem abnormal if I want,â Yang Jian replied.
Yang Xiaohua said, âI donât care. Since I came back to life, I want to follow you. If youâre not interested in me for now, I can join your company and work for you. Just provide me with food; the salary is negotiable.â
âBefore, I resurrected another person named Eagle. I also invited him to work in my company. People with supernatural experience are rare employees. If you want, you can report to my company tomorrow, just mention my name,â Yang Jian considered for a moment and didnât reject this proposal.
Those who have been involved in supernatural events and survived with decent mental states are really scarce.
The post office messengers, as long as they came out from the second floor or higher, are talented and worth keeping.
Many supernatural event records, files, and emergencies require such people for analysis.
Since Yang Jian is in charge of the city, he canât act solo and needs to strengthen the company.
âThatâs great, as long as you agreed,â Yang Xiaohua relaxed. She knew this first step was secure.
As for future matters, take it slowly.
After resurrecting Yang Xiaohua, Yang Jian didnât continue with any more resurrections.
Because there were no suitable candidates.
