Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 34 The Buddhist Kingdom in a Dream (Part 3)

The girl in front of me was cute, looking about sixteen or seventeen years old, and her skin wasn't particularly fair. But what was unusual was that this girl was wearing a raincoat on a sunny day.

"What's wrong, cousin? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm hiding something?"

The girl looked behind her as she spoke.

Wang Shanshan asked, "Who is she?"

“My cousin.” Yang Jian continued to stare at the girl; he hadn’t seen her for over a year.

The girl jogged up and greeted Wang Shanshan warmly.

"Hello, sister! My name is Liang Yuan, you can also call me Xiao Yuan. I'm Yang Jian's little cousin. You must be my cousin's girlfriend!"

Wang Shanshan smiled and replied, "Hello, my name is Wang Shanshan, and I'd say I'm Yang Jian's girlfriend."

Xiao Yuan slipped between the two, took Yang Jian and Wang Shanshan's hands, and walked towards Meishan Village.

"Cousin, my sister is dying, why did you bring her home?"

Xiao Yuan's words were startling, causing Yang Jian's pupils to shrink. His cousin, whom he hadn't seen for a year, was behaving rather strangely.

Yang Jian now even suspects that she may have encountered some kind of paranormal event.

Yang Jian tentatively asked, "Why do you say that? Wang Shanshan's condition is very stable right now."

"It's just a feeling. Oh, right, I suddenly remembered that I seem to have something to give you."

Xiaoyuan suddenly changed the subject, talking about things that were completely irrelevant.

Yang Jian looked at Xiao Yuan and followed up on her words, asking, "What is it? You can give it to me now."

Xiaoyuan shook her head, as if searching for something in her mind. "Oh dear, I can't remember what it was."

Then she suddenly let go of their hands, ran ahead, and turned back to them, saying:

"I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to attend to. Goodbye, cousin! Goodbye, cousin's girlfriend!"

After saying that, she dashed into a small alley and disappeared.

Wang Shanshan looked at the alley Xiaoyuan ran into and said, "Yang Jian, there's something strange about your cousin. Does she have some kind of illness? Should we take her back to Dachang City to have her checked out at the hospital?"

shook his head.

"There's a problem," Yang Jian said, but didn't continue.

However, Xiaoyuan was able to see Wang Shanshan's condition, which is enough to show that she has a connection with the supernatural.

Yang Jian took out his satellite phone: "Liu Xiaoyu, did you hear that?"

As long as the head of headquarters' satellite phone is switched on, the operator can monitor the head's situation 24 hours a day.

Liu Xiaoyu's voice came through the phone quickly: "It has been filed and sent to the investigation team, but it will probably take some time."

"Yes, contact me as soon as you have any news."

"By the way, what's the result of my investigation into the man involved in the hurricane incident?"

Since returning from the hurricane, Yang Jian has been investigating the origins of the man who saved him, but because the body was unrecognizable, there has been no news so far.

He asked the ghost cabinet to tell him about that person's origins simply because he wanted to know what kind of supernatural phenomenon could allow a ghost tamer to invade the present from the future.

"Facial recognition will take a little longer, but it will be soon. We should have the results in the next few days." "Okay, I'm hanging up."

After Yang Jian finished speaking, he hung up the phone and led Wang Shanshan toward his family's old house.

Soon, a two-story cement building came into view. It was built by Yang Jian's father before his death and was quite old.

"Mom, I'm back."

Yang Jian pushed open the door and led Wang Shanshan inside.

There was no one in the room, but it was very clean; Zhang Fen had kept it very tidy.

Seeing that Zhang Fen was not in the house, Yang Jian went straight upstairs to the room where his father's portrait was. The purpose of his return to his hometown was to investigate his father, who had been dead for many years.

On a wooden table sat a framed photograph. The man in the black and white photo bore a striking resemblance to Yang Jian, though something seemed out of place about him.

Wang Shanshan walked up gently and bowed three times to the portrait.

Yang Jian stood still, observing the environment around the portrait, trying to find something unusual. Through his previous conversation with Elder Qin, Yang Jian had suspected that his father was also a ghost tamer.

His father was suspected of being connected to the Newspaper Ghost, and the beginning of the chaos in Dajing City was that the Newspaper Ghost altered Zhao Jianguo's memories.
Unfortunately, there was nothing unusual here, and Yang Jian felt relieved, which meant that his father had no connection with the supernatural.

However, Yang Jian was always very cautious when it came to the supernatural. Someone of Qin Lao's level would not say such irrelevant things to him for no reason. Since he told him, there must be a reason. He might need to look for clues in the places his father used to frequent.

Just then, Yang Jian's phone vibrated.

"So fast? Has Liu Xiaoyu become this efficient?"

Yang Jian took out his satellite phone, assuming that his cousin's investigation had yielded results.

Liu Xiaoyu heard everything clearly, and she said with slight dissatisfaction, "What do you mean I'm so efficient? Wasn't I efficient before?"

"Stop talking so much nonsense."

"It's not your cousin. The investigation into the man involved in the hurricane incident has yielded results. His name is Li Yang, 22 years old, from DQ City. He was involved in the ghost painting incident while traveling abroad and has been missing ever since. At that time, he was just an ordinary person."

"Li Yang... Ghost drawing?"

A strange look flashed across Yang Jian's face.

Logically speaking, an ordinary person entering the Ghost Painting would surely die. However, the person named Li Yang was a Ghost Master, which means that he had encountered a ghost in the Ghost Painting and successfully controlled it.

Yang Jian absolutely did not believe that Li Yang could easily walk out of the Ghost Painting. Even though the supernatural power that Li Yang displayed in the hurricane was indeed exaggerated, he could not easily escape from the Ghost Painting.

There are too many mysteries surrounding this. For Yang Jian, this matter is even more important than his father's. A ghost tamer who can cross from the future to the present represents many things.
Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "Continue."

"Li Yang comes from a single-parent family. His mother is currently in DQ City, but due to Li Yang's disappearance, she fell seriously ill because of her advanced age and is now receiving treatment at the DQ City Hospital. Headquarters has already dispatched the best doctors from DQ City to her."

"That's all, just some of his experiences from when he was in school."

Yang Jian remained silent for a while before deciding to head to DQ City immediately. This had always been Yang Jian's nature; he always sought revenge for wrongs and repaid kindness with kindness.

For Yang Jian, understanding Li Yang as a person and rescuing his mother are now top priorities.

"Send me Li Yang's photo and book me a plane ticket to DQ City. I'll go there right now."

"It's already been sent to your phone."
