Mysterious Revival

In the high sky, the red balloon floated silently upward.

Beneath, a city gleamed with dazzling lights.

Nearby skyscrapers stood tall, and the cool breeze between the tall buildings blew, swaying the bodies of several people. Although it felt slightly cold, it dispelled the fear in everyone’s hearts.

The red balloon carried Zhou Deng, Li Yang, Yang Jian, and Leuk Qingqing away from that eerie supernatural place and directly back to reality.

The Ghost Post Office provided this red balloon as an escape route.

Luckily, this red balloon remained until the end. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the remaining people to leave alive at the last moment.

“We’ve really returned, back to reality. The satellite positioning phone in my hand can pinpoint our location accurately. We’re in… Dazhou City.”

At this moment, Li Yang confirmed his location directly through the satellite positioning phone.

Indeed, they had escaped the supernatural realm.

“Looks like it was a close call. We almost got killed by the ghosts in that ancient house.”

Leuk Qingqing’s eyes moved: “Since we’ve left, I’ll be heading off first. The next time we meet will be on the fifth floor of the post office.”

After speaking, she let go and began falling from hundreds of meters high.

“The task of delivering the letter is over. When we meet on the fifth floor, I will kill you. I hope you are prepared.” Yang Jian looked at her.

Falling down, Leuk Qingqing didn’t speak. She showed a smile, a smile that was strange and unfamiliar.

Soon.

Leuk Qingqing landed somewhere in the city and disappeared from sight.

Yang Jian chose not to act at this moment. He thought that the grievances between couriers should be resolved within the post office, and since the task just ended, he didn’t want to stir anything further.

“Captain, Zhou Deng is still floating upwards. We need to find a way to bring him down.” Li Yang said.

“The red balloon can only be held by an ordinary person. Someone needs to take the balloon down.” Yang Jian glanced at a nearby building.

Through the thick glass window, he could see a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, who looked like a company executive, holding a cup of coffee with eyes wide open, as if witnessing the most unbelievable thing, staring at the few people floating in mid-air outside.

He even saw the scene where Leuk Qingqing fell earlier.

“What is happening?” The man’s mind was filled with wonder and disbelief.

“A red balloon, making so many people float? Who is this joke on?”

In an instant, many reasonable explanations flashed through his mind: magic show, reality TV, and extreme sports…

But the next moment, something happened that again shattered the man’s perception of reality.

After the woman let go and fell, another young man, carrying a severely injured person, also let go. But he didn’t fall; instead, he stood in the air and walked toward them step by step.

Yes,

That’s right.

He really walked over in mid-air without any safety measures. He wasn’t carrying a glider or parachute but holding a long gun full of cracks in his hand.

The man in the suit rubbed his eyes, wondering if working overtime had made him start hallucinating.

“Zzi! Zzi!”

The lights in his private office flickered, as if the electrical circuits were being interfered with, not connecting properly.

Subsequently,

The two people outside disappeared, but the red balloon still continued to float gently upwards with the last remaining person.

“Hey there, mind doing me a favor?” A cold voice suddenly echoed in the office.

The suit-clad man shivered violently, his hair standing on end. He turned around quickly.

Only to see the man who lost both legs and an arm sitting on the sofa. But what caught his attention more was the young man next to him, holding a cracked long gun, eyes slightly emitting a red glow.

With years in the corporate world, he instinctively judged that this person was extremely dangerous.

A threat beyond normal human comprehension.

“Okay, sure, no problem, as long as it’s something I can manage to do, I can help you.”

The suit-clad man set down his coffee and took a deep breath, calming down.

Could he afford not to help?

If not, he might end up mysteriously dead tonight.

“Very good, not many sensible people left these days.”

Yang Jian walked over in strides, grabbed him firmly, then the ghost eye turned, looking directly at Zhou Deng floating in the air.

The next moment, he disappeared from the office and, when he reappeared, had already brought the suited man into the air.

The red balloon still floated upwards, but the speed was slowing down. It seemed that if it flew a bit further, the balloon would stop, floating at a certain height and remain still.

The fierce wind howled.

The suit-clad man’s body shuddered, expression suddenly turning to horror. He thought he would fall, but as it turned out, he stood in the air unharmed, with nothing under his feet, yet he would not fall.

“Grab the thin line beneath this red balloon, don’t let go. If you do, you’ll lose your life.” Yang Jian said expressionlessly.

“Okay, okay.”

The suit-clad man, though panicking, hadn’t lost his mind. He tightly grasped the thin line beneath the red balloon, not daring to let go.

Yang Jian raised the Firewood Knife in his hand and directly cut the line wrapped around Zhou Deng’s arm.

Disengaging Zhou Deng from the red balloon.

Once disengaged,

Zhou Deng suddenly opened his eyes, and his numb body regained movement.

“Looks like you’re fine too,” Yang Jian said, glancing over.

“This red balloon is too wicked. I felt like a corpse, just hanging mid-air, with no sensation whatsoever. Had it not been for my conscious mind, I might’ve thought I was dead.”

Zhou Deng moved his body a bit and spoke immediately.

“This isn’t the place to talk; let’s get out of here first.”

Yang Jian, with him and the suited man, transferred through the Ghost Domain.

Returning once again to the same office.

“Where’s Leuk Qingqing? I don’t see her here now. Didn’t she exit with us? Or did she stay behind in that haunted place?”

Zhou Deng only saw Li Yang in the office, but not the others.

“She’s fine, she didn’t die, she left after coming out,” Yang Jian said.

Zhou Deng said, “Really? That’s a bit of a shame, but it seems someone is missing here.”

“Yang Xiaohua died, was erased, just vanished. It seems that when your body lost consciousness, you couldn’t see or hear anything and were completely unaware of the situation that happened before,” Yang Jian said.

“I truly don’t know. However, judging from the reduction in numbers, we must have encountered great danger when evacuating earlier, probably ran into the ghost in the ancient mansion. But it seems unimportant now, as we still managed to come out alive without being left behind.”

Zhou Deng looked out the window, “By the way, where are we now?”

“Dazhou City,” Li Yang added.

“Back to reality? That’s nice. I remember I traveled to this city before. So many people lost during this event, even the person in charge, Fan Xing, was lost in the ancient mansion, and this incident involves quite a lot. Have you thought about how to write the report?” Zhou Deng asked.

Yang Jian said, “You report this matter to headquarters; I’m not interested. I have other things to do.”

“Alright then, regarding Fan Xing’s report, I’ll make sure it’s beautifully written,” Zhou Deng said, “Is there anything that needs to be concealed aside from that?”

“Don’t report on Leuk Qingqing. Her situation is very special, other than that, anything is fine,” Yang Jian said.

“Understood.”

“Yang Team, is there anything else? If not, I’ll be heading off first. After all, I’ve been out for quite a while now, and I have a large pile of things to handle back there.”

Zhou Deng said, seeming unwilling to stay longer, eager to leave.

Yang Jian said, “There’s no other matter. If you have something, just go first, I’m also planning to return to Dachang City later.”

“Alright, we’ll be in contact later if there’s time. Headquarters has my contact information.” Zhou Deng said.

Then he glanced around, picked up the unfinished cup of coffee on the table, drank it in one go, grabbed an expensive pen, and swiftly pushed the office door open and left quickly.

The man in a suit standing nearby was stunned by this scene.

He seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Drinking coffee is fine, but why take away the pen worth tens of thousands?

“Captain, we should leave too. When we were in Dachang City last time, we seemed to have encountered something terribly dangerous, and we need to check it out now,” Li Yang said.

“Indeed we need to go back and have a look, but it’s not urgent at this moment.”

Yang Jian glanced at the man in a suit, then walked to the office desk, picked up a ballpoint pen from the pen holder and wrote an address on a file folder: Shangtong Tower, Dachang City…

“This red balloon will fly away as soon as you let go. If you can deliver it to this address, I can fulfill one reasonable request for you.”

Li Yang said, “We can take this person directly back to Dachang City.”

“Let’s put aside the matter of the post office for now,” Yang Jian said.

The man in a suit looked at the address on the file folder, then at the brightly colored red balloon in his hand, and began to quickly think about the situation.

Should he accept this request?

If he accepts, what kind of request should he make?

However, with his rich business experience, he instinctively felt that this is an opportunity he shouldn’t miss.

“Can I really make a request and you’ll help me? Just not sure specifically in which area?” the man in a suit tentatively asked.

“Any area is fine,” Yang Jian said.

The man in a suit thought quickly and came up with a request that wasn’t too much but maximized his benefit. He said, “Next month, the company will appoint a deputy general manager among the executives in various departments. I am far from being qualified in terms of seniority and performance; can you help me?”

“Promotion and raise? Your request is really modest,” Yang Jian said, “Not being greedy is good, there’s no problem with this matter.”

The next moment.

The lights on the entire floor flickered and then went out suddenly, but after about ten seconds, they were restored immediately.

When the lights came back on, the man in a suit saw that the two people in front of him were already nowhere to be found, as if they had never been there.

But the address on the file folder on his office desk was clearly left behind: Shangtong Tower, Dachang City.

And the red balloon in his hand.

It all proved that the event just transpired was indeed real, he wasn’t dreaming, nor was it an illusion from overworking.

Yang Jian left with Li Yang.

The Ghost Domain shifted; he didn’t waste too much time. As for whether the red balloon can be safely delivered to Dachang City, he wasn’t concerned. Anyway, the red balloon won’t be lost and ghost riders can’t handle it; ordinary people have no use for it. It will only play its greatest role in specific occasions and specific times.

Since there’s no time now, it’s okay to temporarily store it here, come back for it later when there’s time.

Under the influence of the Ghost Domain, Yang Jian quickly crossed two places and returned to Dachang City again.

He arrived at his office in Shangtong Tower.

At this time, most people in the company had already finished work, only those on night shift duties remained.

Upon arriving in Dachang City, Yang Jian immediately used the ghost eyes to survey the entire city, looking to see if there were any supernatural incidents happening during his absence. When he boarded the haunted bus days ago, a ghost indeed got off the bus.

It was an evil spirit with a Black Umbrella.

The danger level is very high.

Messing up could cause a very dangerous supernatural incident.

“The ghost is not in Dachang City,” Yang Jian frowned, “Either it has been resolved or lured away?”

His worries were temporarily alleviated.

As long as no supernatural incident occurs in Dachang City, everything is manageable. As for the specific situation, he needed to ask Feng Quan and Tong Qian.

“Captain, what’s the situation here?” Li Yang asked:

“No incidents occurred; the previous worries were unnecessary. We should trust other team members that even if I’m not here, others can handle the danger well. Don’t forget Feng Quan’s experience is even older than mine; he has his own way of dealing with supernatural incidents.” Yang Jian said.

“Let’s first go find Huang Ziya and get your body restored. The matter on the fifth floor of the post office will be considered some days later.”

After speaking, he took Li Yang and left Shangtong Tower, returning to Guanjiang Residential Complex.

In a villa within the complex, Yang Jian and Li Yang found Huang Ziya.

Late at night, Huang Ziya wasn’t sleeping but was rather combing her long, lush black hair in front of a huge floor mirror.

“Hmm?” Huang Ziya saw Yang Jian’s figure appearing behind her in the mirror and was suddenly startled, turning around quickly.

“Your alertness is relatively low,” Yang Jian said.

Huang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief, “Captain, I was just combing my hair and was planning to rest. Suddenly appearing in my home at this time without a heads-up, who can react to that? I don’t have a Ghost Domain to fend off your invasion.”

“Give me the necklace,” Yang Jian looked at the crystal necklace on Huang Ziya’s neck.

“Li Yang got injured? It’s quite serious, with hands and feet gone,” Huang Ziya exclaimed, “Looks like he encountered a very frightening danger.”
