Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 33 The Buddhist Kingdom in a Dream (Part Two)

However, the temple was just a cover. Yang Jian dared not destroy the old house from the Republican era, nor did he want it to be discovered, so he had to use other buildings to hide the place.

The entire temple was surrounded by a high wall, and an antique-style red-lacquered gate was locked, as if no one was inside.

After finishing his cola, Yang Jian vanished from his spot and entered the room.

"Yang Jian, you're back?"

A cool voice rang out, and Wang Shanshan walked out of a room on the second floor, looking calmly at Yang Jian.

That room used to house the haunted wardrobe; after renovation, it became Wang Shanshan's bedroom.

Standing next to Wang Shanshan was a child covered in bluish-black skin. Yang Jian had come here specifically for this item.

"Yeah, I just got back and came to check on things."

Yang Jian casually tossed the Coke bottle into the trash can, while Ghost Eye kept observing the little boy next to Wang Shanshan.

Ghost Child.

This is a product of the original starving ghost incident. The ghost child's skin has an extremely abnormal bluish-black color, like a corpse that has been dead for a long time.

"Are we about to die?"

Wang Shanshan opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of cola for Yang Jian.

Yang took the cola and said, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Wang Shanshan touched her forehead and said:
"Yesterday, my head suddenly cracked open with many fissures, and it felt like my head was about to explode."

A strange look flashed across Yang Jian's face. He had indeed almost died in that village in Dahai City, and the split on his forehead that Wang Shanshan mentioned was exactly the same as when the scapegoat transferred the fatal attack that Ye Zhen had suffered onto him.

"Does this mean that if I suffer a supernatural attack exceeding a certain threshold, Wang Shanshan will suffer the same harm? What if Wang Shanshan is attacked... After all, she's not an ordinary ghost servant in her current state; it's not impossible for a vengeful ghost to use her as a medium to attack me again."

Yang Jian pondered silently, took a sip of cola, and said, "It's just a small problem. Don't worry, we're not going to die yet."

Wang Shanshan pointed at the ghost child and said, "I'm not worried about myself, but about what will happen to it after we die?"

The ghost child was standing obediently in a corner of the room. It seemed that it hadn't seen Yang Jian for a while, and it was curiously tilting its head to look at Yang Jian. This thing was too strange. Yang Jian still couldn't confirm whether it was a derivative ghost of the starving ghost or his ghost slave.

Yang Jian continued, "I will have someone build a golden box and lock it inside. Of course, it can be released when necessary. It is not dangerous for the time being, but I cannot guarantee that it will always be so obedient in the face of the supernatural."

Wang Shanshan said softly, "The decision is yours. I will support you no matter what you do."

Yang Jian nodded, only then noticing that something seemed off about Wang Shanshan. Her aloof aura had intensified, and her pale face betrayed no emotion. To put it simply, Wang Shanshan was more like a dead person.

"You should go out more and make more friends. Zhang Wei and Jiang Yan are both nice people. No... forget about Zhang Wei."

Wang Shanshan casually sat down next to Yang Jian. She wanted to get close to Yang Jian; it seemed to be a natural instinct.

"I think it's great here. Life is very convenient now. I can learn about many things without leaving home."

"As long as you think it's okay, that's fine."

Gently smoothing a strand of her hair, Yang Jian knew that Wang Shanshan was no longer a normal person, or even human. To be precise, she was a supernatural being that existed solely through Yang Jian.

At that moment, Yang Jian's phone suddenly vibrated.

Liu Xiaoyu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yang Jian, your aunt just called and said she needs to talk to you urgently and wants you to come back as soon as possible."

"My mom is looking for me?" "Yes, she seems to be in a hurry."

"okay, I get it."

Yang Jian hung up the phone and immediately dialed his mother's number.

Yang Jian did not tell his mother his phone number. After the incident with Tong Qian, Yang Jian was concerned about the possibility of special circumstances, and this was a way to protect his family.

The call connected, and Zhang Fen's strong voice came from the other end. Wang Shanshan sat quietly next to Yang Jian, watching Yang Jian and his mother's conversation.

Yang Jian would apologize, make excuses, and say he would hurry up, as if he only showed a sliver of humanity when facing his family.

After talking for about half an hour, Yang Jian reluctantly said, "Okay, Mom, I understand. I'll come back this afternoon."

Wang Shanshan, who was standing nearby, probably understood what was going on: With the New Year approaching, Zhang Fen gave Yang Jian a strict order: he had to bring a girlfriend home.

Yang Jian didn't not want to see his mother, but he was haunted by a vengeful ghost and had a lot of troubles to deal with. He didn't want these things to affect his mother.

However, he finally agreed because of another matter, namely his father. Back at headquarters, Old Qin had told him that his father was suspected of being involved in paranormal events.

Yang Jian turned to Wang Shanshan and said, "There shouldn't be any problem meeting my mom, right?"

Wang Shanshan was taken aback, not expecting Yang Jian to introduce her to his mother, but she immediately nodded and said, "As long as Auntie doesn't mind, that's fine."

Yang Jian stood up, and red light instantly covered the entire room, including the ghost child in the corner.

By the time Wang Shanshan realized what was happening, they had arrived at a safe house made entirely of gold, which Yang Jian had Zhang Wei's father build during the starving ghost incident.

"Go in."

Yang Jian said to the ghost child.

After receiving Yang Jian's order, the ghost child immediately jogged into the safe house and stood in the middle, staring blankly at the two people outside.

"boom!"

Yang Jian slammed the door shut. He couldn't possibly be carrying such a ghostly thing with him when he went to see his mother. However, there was no more suitable golden object to store it, so he could only temporarily place it here.

He turned to Wang Shanshan and said, "Let's go, let's set off now."

A luxury car sped along a country road, the two men talking in silence as the scenery rushed by on either side.

The car slowly turned onto a small road and parked next to a stone monument.

Meishan Village.

"We've arrived. The car can't go any further ahead, let's get out."

The two walked side by side on the path in Meishan Village, with one or two motorcycles carrying goods occasionally passing by.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from not far behind.

"Cousin?! When did you get back?!"

Yang Jian suddenly turned his head, his ghost eyes snapping open, staring intently at the girl not far behind him.

He and Wang Shanshan had just walked this way, and with his keen observation skills, it was impossible for him to miss such a large, living person.
