Mysterious Revival-Chapter 844 - 811: The Person Under the Wooden Table

The room 301 was even more bizarre than one could imagine.

Despite the absence of people and fierce ghosts, every object and item exuded eeriness.

But what caused the most unease now was this.

The doll that had been inside the vegetable basket had vanished into thin air.

The room was not big.

Yang Jian looked around but found nothing, ultimately turning his attention to Li Yi, Yang Xiaohua, and Leuk Qingqing. If that creepy doll was still here, perhaps it had been hidden on one of them.

The others had also noticed the strangeness of the room, feeling an inexplicable panic.

"Where... is that thing?" Yang Xiaohua tensed up, almost rigid.

She dared not move her head rashly, her gaze darting around, trying to spot something, yet terrified of actually finding something.

Room 301 was small.

If there were indeed something horrifying, she, the messenger from the second floor, was destined to die; it would be very hard to survive in this environment.

"Yang Jian, I didn't find it." Li Yi had grown much bolder. He was also searching everywhere, making big movements.

But like Yang Jian, he found no trace of the mysteriously disappeared doll.

"It's not on any of the three of them either."

Yang Jian observed the three people.

He didn't find the doll on any of them.

But the more it was so, the more unsettled he became, because that thing had indeed vanished, and it had disappeared right in this room, with no chance of escaping outside.

"That thing is under the table." Suddenly, Leuk Qingqing, wearing a cheongsam, spoke up with a reminder.

"Hmm?"

Yang Jian immediately fixed his gaze on her, his eyes slightly reddened, exuding an extraordinary coldness and vigilance.

"How can you be so sure?"

Something even he couldn't detect, yet Leuk Qingqing managed to.

Indeed, was she the most unusual and special messenger on the third floor?

Leuk Qingqing shook her head slightly: "I can't be certain, I just have this vague idea, as if I'm very familiar with this place... like I have lived here for a while in the past. This feeling emerged as soon as I stepped into the room, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't say it out loud."

"Even if you feel familiar, this isn't the reason for your guess about the ghost doll being under the table," Yang Jian said, eyeing her.

Leuk Qingqing looked somewhat strange, as if recalling something, yet also seemed a bit perplexed: "No, I just know that under that table is where it often hides. That's why I made the guess. If you're suspicious, you can choose not to believe it."

"I've looked under the table already, there's nothing." Li Yi squatted down, looking under the small red wooden table.

It was a spot where the dim light could not reach, a patch of shadow left in the corner by the wall due to the blockage of the wooden table.

However, there was no sign of any strange doll or similar object within that shadow.

The space under the table was completely empty, not even a stool was placed there, hollow, and one could see right through.

"No, you truly can't see it from the normal perspective, you must look at it upside down," Leuk Qingqing reminded again.

Look at it upside down?

Li Yi paused for a moment.

Leuk Qingqing explained, "Its eyes are installed upside down, the vision is inverted, so our line of sight must follow and invert as well. Only then can we see it."

"Is there such a thing?" Li Yi was surprised; "But how do you know about this in such detail?"

"I don't know," Leuk Qingqing shook her head. "I mentioned earlier that this place seems very familiar to me, but for some reason, those memories don't seem to belong to me, they belong to it..."

Having said that, she traced her fingers over the graceful figure in front of her.

It was an evident hint.

Yang Jian frowned and stared at the cheongsam she was wearing, while Li Yi pondered with a dawning realization.

"Did you acquire some odd memories that don't belong to you after being eroded by the supernatural?"

Yang Jian had encountered such a phenomenon before.

Zhang Lei, known as Ghost Eater, had once had strange memories. He saw that graveyard with Coffin Nails hammered in the gates.

This was the influence of a vengeful ghost encroaching upon the living.

As to whose memories those were, was a mystery.

Leuk Qingqing here was likely undergoing the same thing.

"Look at it upside down?"

Li Yi hesitated, unsure if he should do such a thing.

Would there be danger for himself if he really saw something when looking upside down?

Without a word, Yang Jian did not hesitate but slowly bent down, letting his head hang, to turn his normal line of sight upside down.

Then he looked again with this inverted view at the shadow beneath the red wooden table.

At that moment,

he immediately felt his hairs stand on end.

Under the shadow of the red wooden table unexpectedly sat a sinister person, who appeared to be an adult in size, naked, with patches of blue and purple bruises, as if beaten by something, leaving wounds while other parts of the skin were cold and pale, as if long dead.

No, this wasn't just a lifeless corpse, but a ghost.

A very terrifying fierce ghost.

And in this ghost's hand was the doll that had just appeared in the vegetable basket.

The doll's pair of eyes were now open, pitch-black without pupils, like two dull glass beads.

And just as Leuk Qingqing had mentioned before,

These beads of eyes were installed upside down, making them look discordant.

As Yang Jian saw the fierce ghost holding the doll, its inverted eyes suddenly moved mechanically, eerily turning towards Yang Jian's direction.

It seemed the ghost also saw Yang Jian.

At this moment, their gazes intersected.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Simultaneously, the originally calm red wooden table violently started shaking, occasionally lifting from the floor, as some sort of peace was broken.

"What's going on? What happened, Yang Jian, what did you see?" Seeing the violent shaking of the table, Li Yi's face immediately changed.

Yang Xiaohua also had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

They hadn't bowed their heads, so they hadn't seen.

But after Yang Jian bowed his head, he saw the true reason why the table was shaking so violently.

It was because the ghost holding that eerie doll was trying to stand up from under the table, and due to the height problem, the ghost was about to lift the table, causing the violent shaking and making it seem like the table was about to be flipped over.

But it seemed difficult for the ghost to stand up.

It was unclear whether it was because he was pinned under the table, or because ghosts do not rise up too easily.

But no matter what.

The eye contact between Yang Jian and the malevolent ghost seemed to trigger some sort of deadly rule.

The originally motionless malevolent ghost was starting to act.

This was a very bad omen.

At this moment, Li Yi was feeling extremely anxious, desperately wanting to know what Yang Jian had seen under the table.

Was it a ghost?

Or that puppet doll?

Should he take a quick look himself to confirm the situation?

Just a glance shouldn't be harmful, right?

But some intuition told Li Yi that he better not look; otherwise, there was a high chance he might die here.

"Yang Jian, quickly leave the letter behind and get out of here, something feels very wrong around us," Leuk Qingqing suddenly reminded him, her voice revealing unusual urgency.

"The ghost has targeted me."

At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly raised his head, no longer making eye contact with the malevolent ghost.

But it was in vain.

The deadly rule seemed to be triggered, even though he had stood up and his line of sight returned to normal, the ghost holding the puppet doll did not disappear from his view; instead, it slowly rose, pressing against the small red wooden table.

"Clatter!"

The table was knocked over to the ground at this moment, the plates and the basket on it overturned, and several plates shattered with a bang.

The malevolent ghost had stood up from under the table.

After the ghost stood up, it was taller than Yang Jian by half a head, and the pale skin with patches of blue and purple became even more conspicuous.

"Fight or flee?"

Yang Jian unconsciously took a few steps back, his eyes slightly red, showing a trace of determination, and his heart was not the least bit timid.

Investigating such rooms was risky by nature, being attacked by a ghost was also within the expectations previously, so he did not regret his actions just now.

"What did he see?" Li Yi noticed Yang Jian's look and state.

It was one of being on alert for something.

In his view, there must be something terrifying in this room, something that could only be seen when looking upside down; if one just stood normally in the room, it would seem as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened, completely in the dark.

The ghost holding the puppet doll made a move again.

The ghost walked towards Yang Jian.

Its steps were weird, unsteady like a baby learning to walk.

But the horror of the ghost was now fully displayed.

Yang Jian felt alarms going off all over his body, a certain sense of the supernatural told him this ghost was very fierce, very fierce indeed, and that he might be killed by this ghost.

"Can't stay here, must leave, at least not now."

With gritted teeth.

He tossed a box from his hand.

The box opened in mid-air, a yellow letter scattered and fell to the floor of Room 301.

The task of delivering the letter was complete.

As long as the letter was placed inside Room 301, there were no other requirements.

"There was an invisible malevolent ghost hiding under the table in the living room earlier, it's chasing after me now, you guys figure out what to do," Yang Jian said in a low voice, then took the lead in opening the door and rushing out.

There was yet another room in Room 301 that hadn't been explored, and many secrets remained undeciphered.

But there was no time for that now.

The ghost had already followed.

After Yang Jian burst out of Room 301, the ghost holding the doll quickly followed suit, as if it had targeted him specifically. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

The others were a bit dumbfounded by this scene.

They witnessed Yang Jian running away in panic for the first time.

One should know that whether it was tearing up the red letter within the Ghost Post Office, confronting the malevolent ghost, or the whole city's supernatural event in Dachuan City, Yang Jian had always been bursting with confidence and had handled himself with ease.

But now.

Something in Room 301 actually frightened such a fierce figure away.

"We should leave as well," Li Yi also shouted out, quickly following Yang Jian's exit.

Yet, Leuk Qingqing grabbed him: "The ghost is fixated on him; once Yang Jian leaves, the ghost will leave with him, this place is temporarily safe, the situation outside is much more dangerous than here."

Going outside meant breathing in heavy smoke and facing the peril of ghosts searching for people.

Despite the eeriness here, apart from the earlier incident, nothing else had happened.

If they could survive this period using this place as shelter, returning to the Post Office would no longer be a pipe dream.

"Leuk Qingqing, let's leave first, the delivery has been successful, once we leave here, we'll immediately burn the letter and return to the Post Office," Li Yi said through gritted teeth.

Although he was afraid, his rationality was intact; he knew what he was doing.

He wanted to leave to avoid encountering other ghosts and also to ignite the letter and leave outside.

Leuk Qingqing was taken aback, falling silent.

It seemed that Li Yi's approach was not wrong.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaohua had already picked up the letter, biting her lip and quickly leaving Room 301.

In her mind, if Yang Jian couldn't stay, it was even less likely that she could.

"Let's go."

Li Yi didn't dare delay and left swiftly.

Inside the room, only Leuk Qingqing was left.

She hesitated and looked curiously towards one of the inner rooms.

It seemed that some memories began to interfere with her mind.

"Who exactly is she?"

Leuk Qingqing looked bewildered, wanting to investigate further, but her rational mind told her not to be curious and to leave quickly.

Two thoughts intertwined.

So she paused in place, not venturing into the room to inspect, and yet not willing to leave just like that, caught in the dilemma.
