An Eerie Resurrection

Three days have passed since Yang Jian hanged himself in his room.

For three days, his body remained in that position, hanging in front of the ghost mirror and pressed against it.

Countless terrifying hands inside tried to pull him into the mirror, but all failed.

The ghost hand couldn't get out of the mirror, and Yang Jian's corpse still couldn't be pulled in.

The stalemate seems to have lasted a bit too long.

But the strange changes continued. The black liquid that had been dripping from Yang Jian's corpse, which had initially enveloped the entire room and threatened to devour the eerie mirror, was now...

The black liquid is decreasing.

These things entered Yang Jian's corpse and seemed to begin to retreat.

The resurrected ghostly figure had reached its terrifying limit, and now seemed to have exhausted its power. However, the ghost mirror remained smooth and bright, clearly visible even in the dark environment, like an entrance to the depths of hell, where countless terrifying evil spirits were kept, exuding its own eeriness and horror.

By the fourth day, all the ghostly figures in the room had retreated into the cold corpse.

But Yang Jian has not yet been resurrected.

On the fifth day, Yang Jian's body began to move.

His body gradually sank into the ghost mirror.

However, the sinking process is very, very slow.

The ghostly figure was still controlling the body, not wanting Yang Jian to be resurrected in the ghost mirror.

If Yang Jian is resurrected, it means that Ghost Shadow has failed.

It is not human, and it doesn't have the human tendency to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. It doesn't know that it should leave this situation and choose a new body in this Dachang City.

It was just a ghost, a headless ghost.

It exists within this city in a specific, yet terrifying way.

On the sixth day, half of Yang Jian's body had already sunk into the Ghost Mirror.

In the mirror, countless terrifying hands gripped Yang Jian's corpse, trying to drag it into the abyss. At the same time, Yang Jian's reflection in the mirror began to replace him, gradually showing a tendency to merge together.

But at that very moment...

Suddenly, many grotesque cuts appeared on Yang Jian's corpse, as if a vengeful ghost had ripped through his flesh with a vicious weapon.

One after another, scarlet eyes emerged from the flesh, emitting an eerie red light. This light was even more conspicuous than before, so intense it seemed as if fresh blood was about to drip down, as if the entire world was about to melt into this blood.

Such a red light shone into the ghost mirror.

Those terrifying hands seemed to have been scalded at once, and quickly withdrew. Even the vengeful ghost that had transformed into Yang Jian vanished in front of the ghost mirror at that moment.

Yang Jian was not controlling the Ghost Eye.

It was the ghostly figure controlling his corpse that was in control.

The ghost took over his corpse, and thus took over the ghost within his body.

This terrifying ghostly figure kept changing its body, trying to piece together the body of a vengeful spirit. Now it had succeeded a little; it had obtained the Ghost Eye from Yang Jian's corpse.

The terror created by a vengeful ghost controlling other vengeful ghosts is beyond imagination.

If Yang Jian were to wield the Ghost Eye, he wouldn't be able to do this at all; he would have succumbed to the resurgence of the vengeful spirit long ago.

Even though the eerie red light shone into the ghost mirror and dispelled all the ghosts, the ghost mirror still attracted his corpse to it, wanting to devour it.

This ghost mirror seems to be even more terrifying than imagined. The terror doesn't come from the countless evil spirits imprisoned within it, but from the mirror itself.

It is something extremely eerie and terrifying in itself.

But no one saw or knew any of this, not even Yang Jian, who was in the midst of it, because he was now dead.

The corpse had already begun to emit a faint stench of decay.

If it weren't for the ghostly figure covering his body, Yang Jian's corpse would have rotted away by now.

However, incredibly...

After half of Yang Jian's body sank into the Ghost Mirror, his corpse underwent a strange change. The stench on his body disappeared, the decay improved, and even the dense lividity began to fade.

It was as if this ghostly mirror was reversing time, trying to take Yang Jian's body back six days.

Six days earlier was the day he hanged himself.

His body will be resurrected to the state it was in on that day, and even his memories will be the same, just like Zhang Wei who was killed.

However, after Zhang Wei was resurrected, an uncontrollable supernatural event occurred while he was inside the Ghost Mirror. The countless ghostly hands inside did not want Zhang Wei to escape from the mirror, and it was Yang Jian who pulled him out.

But now that Yang Jian has truly been resurrected, who will lend him a hand?

There are too many changes, so the success rate is very low.

However, Yang Jian's body only sank halfway in, and with only half of it sunk, there was no way he could be resurrected.

The body's functions dictate that such a body cannot survive.

And so, another day passed.

It has been seven days since Yang Jian died.

According to folklore, a person's soul returns on the seventh day after death; this day is called the Night of Return of the Soul, or the First Seven Days.

If a person's resentment lingers after death, their soul will return on the seventh day after death and transform into a vengeful ghost, harming the world.

I don't know if the basis of the folk legend is true, or if it's just some kind of strange coincidence.

On the seventh day after Yang Jian hanged himself, the battle between ghosts seemed to have reached its limit.

The ghost's Ghost Eye, which had been open for a full day and night, suddenly closed.

The red light reflected in the ghost mirror vanished completely, and even the ghostly figure covering Yang Jian's corpse seemed to have fallen silent, without making any sound.

As soon as the red light disappeared, a cacophony of footsteps echoed through the dark mirror world, as if the retreating vengeful spirits were about to surge back in.

"Click!"

However, at this moment, a small crack appeared in one place on the ghost mirror.

A cold wind blew out from the crack, as if there was an empty passage behind the mirror leading to an unknown place.

However, the cracks were too small to be of any use.

As the ghost mirror and the ghostly figure fell silent, Yang Jian's corpse fell from mid-air, kneeling on the ground, motionless.

But somehow, Yang Jian's head disappeared.

No, it's not gone.

His head disappeared into the ghost mirror, as if it had been eaten by the mirror, leaving only a headless corpse standing outside, emitting a faint stench of decay.

Yes.

The headless ghost was a mutilated ghost; it had no head. Even though it eventually took over Yang Jian's corpse, it only managed to take most of it. It couldn't take the head. In the final moments, when it and the ghost mirror sank into silence, its uncontrollable head was ultimately sucked into the ghost mirror.

The head is a weakness of the Ghostly Shadow.

At this moment, the Ghost Mirror stopped sucking Yang Jian's body into it, and the ghostly figure seemed to have completely stopped moving and could no longer control the body.

It seems to be the same as when the paper parchment was first calculated.

The two ghosts crashed during their battle.

All that remained was a chilling silence, not death, nor disappearance, but simply the inability to move.

It's like being hit by a car and becoming a vegetable; you're still alive, but you've lost the ability to move.

Right now, Ghost Shadow's car has crashed into Ghost Mirror, resulting in mutual destruction.

However, the Ghost Mirror seems to be more than that. Countless vengeful ghosts are trying to escape from the mirror. Yang Jian's head has been swallowed by the Ghost Mirror, and he is now facing the horrors within it.

The sound of numerous footsteps approached rapidly from the darkness.

Just as a charred hand reached out towards Yang Jian's head, which had entered the Ghost Mirror...

Sudden.

Yang Jian's head moved slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened.

He had been hanged for seven days, but on the seventh day after his death, the night his soul returned to the body, he was resurrected.

It didn't fully resurrect; only its head revived within the ghost mirror.

The body was left outside.

The situation seemed somewhat different from what was expected, but it did eventually come back to life.

But the charred hand had already touched Yang Jian's face.

Cold, stiff, and carrying the acrid smell of someone burned alive.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from outside the mirror and grabbed the charred hand.

The hand was half warm and half cold, giving it an eerie and terrifying feel.

"Click!"

The charred hand was severed, as if it had been forcibly broken off.

A footstep sound quickly faded into the distance; the vengeful spirit behind the ghostly hand seemed unable to withstand such terror and chose to leave.

Or perhaps they realized their target was no longer human and therefore did not meet the requirements for an attack.

Not only that footstep, but the footsteps that had gathered nearby also quickly faded away, and those terrifying ghostly hands disappeared.

Peace returned to the ghost mirror.

After.

After a few moments, Yang Jian's head slowly emerged from the mirror.

What's terrifying is...

Yang Jian's body was facing the mirror, but his head was facing outwards.

My head and neck seemed to have turned half a circle, completely reversed.

Because the ghost mirror is the opposite.

The resurrected are the opposite.

If it's a complete person, it doesn't matter if it's reversed. At most, a mole will grow from the left to the right, and a left-handed person will become right-handed. Just like Zhang Wei, after being resurrected, he awakened the terrifying skill of holding a gun with both hands and practiced the gun shaking technique to a superb level.

Okay, gun tremors aren't scary at all.

However, Yang Jian's body remained outside; only his head was revived. This revival was not perfect and contained some unknown flaws.

"I'm alive?"

Yang Jian's head, facing away from his back, was expressionless, as if he had lost all human emotions, cold and numb, like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell.

No, he looks more like a ghost than a ghost now.

He subconsciously raised his hand and looked at it.

The hand was raised, but it dislocated with a snapping sound from a reverse joint.

But he didn't feel any pain, nor did he feel that anything was wrong.

It was still lifted up very easily.

He felt something was wrong with his body and slowly stood up.

His shadow no longer appeared in the ghost mirror behind him; he could no longer leave a reflection in the ghost mirror.

Sorry, I took a break to organize my thoughts, so I'm catching up today.
