Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 127 Those Who Failed to Leave
Yang Jian briefly explained Zhang Wei's current situation. Zhao Lei was initially surprised, but quickly came to his senses.

"What should we do then? I don't think Wei is any different. He remembers everything clearly from when he was in school."

Yang Jian shook his head: "The supernatural cannot be understood using common sense."

"But now I need to confirm a hypothesis: Tong Qian was resurrected using your body and her own head. Perhaps the mirror's judgment will be different."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the detached villa, and Yang Jian led Zhao Lei up to the third floor.

A flash of red light appeared before their eyes, and the two entered the completely enclosed room.

Zhao Lei looked at a huge dressing mirror covered by a black cloth in the center of the room: "Brother Leg, is this the mirror you were talking about?"

"Okay, you stand at the back and don't face the mirror for now."

"It's alright." Zhao Lei understood the danger of the mirror and immediately moved to the back.

With a casual rip off of the thick black cloth, the eerie mirror reappeared in front of Yang Jian.

However, Yang Jian's figure did not appear in the Ghost Mirror. A person who has been resurrected once through the Ghost Mirror cannot leave a mark on the mirror again.

He first used the ghost mirror when he hanged himself during the starving ghost incident. Although he was successfully resurrected through the ghost mirror, it also left behind hidden dangers.

There exists a vengeful ghost within the Ghost Mirror. This ghost originally intended to replace Yang Jian in reality, but it failed due to the intervention of Ghost Shadow and Ghost Rope.

Yang Jian frowned slightly at this thought. Although he had only successfully imitated the head in the end, Yang Jian still had a ghost eye on his forehead.
At this moment, he thought of another possibility: could a mirror mimic the supernatural, even if incompletely? This would still be a significant discovery.

But Yang Jian has more important things to do now, so this idea has to be put aside for the time being.

Raising his ghostly hand, he gently touched the smooth surface of the mirror, and the ghost mirror immediately rippled outwards like a stone falling into water.

Immediately, the ghost hand's palm disappeared into the mirror.

The mirror was pitch black, devoid of any color, like some unknown place in hell.

"My guess was right. The Ghost Mirror should lead to some unknown supernatural place, perhaps the ghost realm of some ghost, or perhaps a supernatural place where there are many vengeful ghosts."

Just then, a series of cold, sinister arms climbed up his body with incredible force, trying to drag him into the depths of darkness.

A blinding crimson flashed, accompanied by an even darker, deeper flame. Suddenly, all the arms vanished, as if these vengeful spirits had never intended to attack Yang Jian.

At this moment, Yang Jian's expression was solemn. The level of terror of the ghosts here was not low. Using the black fire was only an experiment, but even just a moment of use made him feel the restlessness of the black fire.

"We can't waste any more time."

But at that moment, Yang Jian saw a corpse that looked exactly like him, with no difference in appearance or height.

But Yang Jian regretted that he didn't have time to pay attention to him right now and continued walking forward.

The surrounding red light grew dimmer and dimmer. Even with Yang Jian's current strength, he couldn't stay in this mirror for too long.

"Huh?...What's that...?"

In a flash, Yang Jian saw a woman's head.

A trace of bewilderment lingered on its pale face, as if it hadn't yet figured out how it got there before it died. But what was most striking was that one could vaguely make out three faces on the head: one seemed to be crying, and another was giving a sinister smile.

"Tong Qian's body"

Yang Jian immediately lifted his head and walked back.

"My guess was right. Ah Wei is not a ghost; I simply misjudged the pattern of the Ghost Mirror."

After stepping out of the mirror, Yang Jian immediately covered himself with a black cloth.

"Zhao Lei, you can go back now. I've already confirmed it; Awei is fine."

Zhao Lei's face lit up with joy, and he immediately said, "I knew it! There must be some misunderstanding here. No ghost can imitate the silly and idiotic attitude that Ah Wei has."

After seeing Zhao Lei out of the room, Yang Jian found a stool, sat in front of the mirror, and analyzed his previous judgment about the characteristics of the ghost mirror.
"Tong Qian died long ago... She was killed by a vengeful ghost the moment she was resurrected from the mirror."

"Because of the combination of Zhao Lei's and Tong Qian's bodies, I misjudged the Ghost Mirror. The Ghost Mirror identified the shadow that simultaneously possessed Zhao Lei's body and Tong Qian's head as 'two people'..."

"Therefore, when Tong Qian is resurrected, two ghosts will be released, and she will be attacked by them."

"I've already imprisoned one of the ghosts, and the other is the one currently impersonating Tong Qian at headquarters."

Yang Jian stared silently at the huge dressing mirror. He thought it was an insurance policy for his team members to survive again, but because of his mistake, Tong Qian died once more.

Yang Jian was thinking that he might have underestimated the supernatural before, and even considered how to exploit the bug in the mirror to achieve infinite resurrection.

But after this incident, Yang Jian also understood a principle: in supernatural events, despair is the main theme. Any ghost, no matter how low its level, possesses unknown terrors, and will die if one is even slightly careless.

Once you become tainted by the supernatural, there is absolutely no way to escape unscathed; death is the best possible outcome.

The most desperate way to die is to be resurrected like Tong Qian, only to have a glimmer of hope ignite in her heart, and then be killed by an even more terrifying supernatural force.

Yang Jian is not someone who is afraid to face his mistakes. Since the incident has already happened, all he can do now is to summarize and learn from it to prevent it from happening again.

Now that he had figured out the cause and effect of the matter, Yang Jian no longer dwelled on the Ghost Mirror's resurrection mechanism.

He took out his satellite phone and looked up the museum information that Liu Xiaoyu had sent him.

"The Sanxingdui Museum in Dayang City, formerly known as the History Museum, was established during the Republic of China era. Its first owner clashed with the Japanese army while trying to protect the museum, and to prevent others from being implicated, all related materials were burned..."

"The second curator, Tian Xiaoyue, has been dedicated to developing and promoting the museum since returning from studying abroad."

The rest of the content is largely the same; the information about that museum had long since disappeared into history due to the turmoil of that year.

"At the time, Wan Delu's investigation was stopped by the officials in Dayang City, which means that the officials in Dayang City must have known that there was something unusual about the soul bottle in the museum."

"Let's go take a trip, and while we're at it, let's see that soul bottle for ourselves."

As he stood up, a strange crimson light suddenly expanded, and then, with a flicker, Yang Jian disappeared from the spot.

　I have a fever and feel dizzy.
