Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 30 Double Happiness (Part 12)

This cyclical process is like a strange alternation; with each contraction of the lake, less water emerges next time.

The fourth-floor Ghost Lake was at a disadvantage in its supernatural conflict with the female corpse, but this gave Yang Jian an opportunity.

In the clash of supernatural forces, all the risks were borne by the gruesome female corpse. At this moment, Yang Jian could use the supernatural power of Ghost Lake almost without restriction for a short period of time.

That's why Yang Jian dared to change the contents of the strange marriage contract in front of him.

This is an unusual kind of supernatural confrontation. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a vengeful ghost to revive, but the target being attacked is someone else entirely.

This state is illogical, but it has been maintained through the bracelet and Ye Zhen's deeper use of the scapegoat.

Yang Jian knew it wouldn't last long.

Because a living person is never a real ghost.

Both Ye Zhen and Yang Jian have a limit.

Yang Jian was pondering how to write down the next steps in this marriage certificate.

The sudden appearance of the two people made him aware of the existence of a strange post office, which gave Yang Jian a new direction for his actions.

But now there is only one chance. If they fail, he and Ye Zhen will both die here.

The ghost hand wearing the bracelet picked up the pen. Even in the Ghost Lake, the thick ghost blood still condensed like ink, and the suppression of the Ghost Lake had no effect on it.

The pen tip gently touched the marriage certificate, and one by one, bright red characters began to appear.

"In order to complete the post office's mission, Liu Qingqing entered the coffin in the bridal chamber to find the bride after Ye Zhen completed his third bow."

Yang Jian didn't know what Liu Qingqing would do at any given time, so he could only write the sequence of events more vaguely, guiding the future in the direction he needed to develop.

Then his actions will complete the content that was written first, and finally the marriage certificate will be used to complete the final content.

Yang Jian continued writing, and the second section of blood-red characters slowly began to emerge.

"The person who went into the bridal chamber after the wedding ceremony was the bride."

Yang Jian deliberately blurred the definition of the bride; he did not attempt to directly replace the female corpse's identity.

After the wedding ceremony, the 'bride' will enter the bridal chamber. This does not violate the existing text in the marriage certificate, but rather uses vague guidance within the existing rules: the one who enters the coffin after the wedding ceremony will be regarded as the bride.

Yang Jian's current actions are like walking a tightrope; the slightest misstep will lead to total defeat and utter destruction.

However, it is clear that this marriage certificate cannot be easily altered.

With each stroke of Yang Jian's pen, his consciousness began to rapidly blur, his body rotted at a visible speed, and his flesh peeled away to reveal his pale bones.

However, whenever consciousness is about to fade away, a rich red light will spread from within the body, restarting the individual to a complete state.

As Yang Jian wrote, flashes of red light appeared intermittently in the cold lake water, like flames about to go out in the darkness.
Just as Yang Jian was about to continue writing, the blood-red bracelet suddenly made a crisp cracking sound and then split in two.

"It's reached its limit..."

Looking at the shattered bracelet before him, Yang Jian realized that without the bracelet to reattach it, he could no longer use the supernatural power of Ghost Lake without restraint.

But he had to write one last sentence: he wanted to assure him that what happened next would most likely go in the direction he hoped for.

A tattoo slowly disappeared into the marriage certificate, and words appeared on the paper as if embroidered.

Having reached the final step, Yang Jian no longer cared about the abnormalities his body would experience after losing the Ghost Tattoo.

Dark blue characters began to appear. "Liu Qingqing always carried her letters with her. After entering the coffin, the post office's mission was completed, and Liu Qingqing chose to return to the post office immediately."

Yang Jian had no idea how the post office would interpret the marriage certificate written this way.

He's gambling.

He wanted to create a conflict between the rules governing the post office, the marriage certificate, and the female corpse, thereby achieving his desired outcome.

As the lake water gradually receded, Yang Jian reappeared, dripping wet as he looked at Ye Zhen.

"Don't resist, just let it fall."

The buzzing around Ye Zhen's body stopped abruptly the next moment. The still female corpse suddenly moved, kneeling face to face with Ye Zhen. The red veil on her head swayed slightly, and then her head slammed straight to the ground.

At the same time, Ye Zhen mechanically lowered his head and bowed to the female corpse.

The whole process was eerie and quiet, without making a sound, only a chilling sense of oppression permeated the room.

Ye Zhen and the horrifying female corpse moved in perfect unison, both bowing down at the same time.

Looking at Ye Zhen again, Ye Zhen's expression was blank as he held the female corpse's hand.

Behind Yang Jian, on the huge headless black shadow, eight scarlet ghost eyes had already opened, and Yang Jian was waiting for the change to happen.

Suddenly, the horrifying female corpse released Ye Zhen's hand, paused for a second, and then stood stiffly in place, motionless.

Meanwhile, outside the bridal chamber where Liu Qingqing was, a strange and twisted path could be vaguely seen gradually approaching the bridal chamber, as if it had invaded this place from some incomprehensible and eerie place.

But that's all; the path extends beyond the room and can't go any further.

At this moment, Liu Qingqing inside the coffin was no longer moving. Strangely, she was wearing a dark red wedding dress and a strange red veil on her head. She lay quietly inside the coffin with a piece of unburnt letter in her hand.

A moment later, the door to the bridal chamber was pushed open, and Li Yi carried Liu Qingqing out of the room, stepping onto that eerie path, and finally disappearing into the twisted end.

The scene returns to Yang Jian's side.

The moment he saw the female corpse release her grip, Yang Jian knew that the first step had been successful. An extremely sharp crimson light instantly surged out, and he was about to restart Ye Zhen.

The female corpse in the graveyard was completely unaffected by the restart, which is why Yang Jian dared to let Ye Zhen kowtow a third time.

If he succeeds in the first step, he can save Ye Zhen.

In a crimson glow, the taboo of reversing life and death began. Everything in the room, except for the female corpse and the marriage certificate, was shrouded in scarlet.

Ye Zhen slowly retreated, then slowly rose from his kneeling position. His blank expression quickly disappeared, and his face rapidly regained the vitality of a living person.

Then the red light suddenly spread out, and Ye Zhen stood quietly in place, looking at Yang Jian.

"Your condition is improving."

Ye Zhen keenly noticed that Yang Jian's body, which was originally close to the resurgence of the vengeful ghost, had now shown no signs of revival at all, and the wide-range restart just now was the best proof of that.

Yang Jian nodded. Just now, because of the bracelet and Ye Zhen, the source of the revived Ghost Lake was grafted onto the Ghost Bride and was completely suppressed by her, which is why Yang Jian can now control the Ghost Lake more perfectly.

"The matter is not over yet, and I cannot guarantee that my method will work completely."

Yang Jian pointed to the ghost bride next to Ye Zhen, and the ghost bride, who had been motionless, started to move again.
