Mysterious Revival

Chapter 401: Chapter 400 The Extra Hand

The second victim on the airplane died a similarly tragic death.

His body was still sitting upright in the seat, but his neck was twisted like a corkscrew, turned who knows how many times, bearing various bruises of handprints, and his face with a look of utter despair was turned upward, leaving one to wonder what he had experienced before his demise.

Unlike the first victim.

Because of that scream, almost everyone in the cabin had seen this person’s dreadful condition.

Combining this with some changes to the surrounding environment, talk of haunting rose and became even more convincing with the emergence of death, panic, and unease written on everyone’s faces, in stark contrast to their previous composure.

At this moment, no one would laugh at Yang Jian for saying there was a ghost on the plane, nor would anyone call him crazy.

Because this corpse was the best evidence.

“Did you hear someone say that the person was killed by a ghost? Is that true or false?”

“Maybe it’s true. Look at the state of that dead person, his neck twisted like that, could a normal person do that?”

“Someone said they saw a pair of hands appear above the victim’s head—that’s terrifying. We should report this immediately.”

“The air marshal has already come, but it seems they can’t think of any good solutions either.”

“Do you think, if there really is a ghost, will there be more victims?”

The discussions were filled with fear of death and panic about the impending disaster.

Wang Dong, who was in charge of watching the body, saw Yang Jian approaching and immediately said, “There’s been a second victim, with the same death state as the previous one.”

“I already know. Also, where is the witness?” Yang Jian asked.

“It’s him, Zhou Haw, three rows away from the victim. He said he saw a pair of eerie hands literally twist the head of the deceased,” Wang Dong said in a subdued voice, clearly disturbed.

Yang Jian glanced over and saw a man, his face full of terror, curled up in a corner, shivering.

Just seeing a fierce ghost kill someone had scared him to this extent; his mental fortitude was too weak, even for a man, practically worse than a woman’s.

“I’m in charge of this paranormal incident. Tell me, how was this person killed?” Yang Jian walked over and asked.

Zhou Haw, still in a state of fear and with a sobbing tone, said, “I, I don’t know, I just saw half of his head outside, and then a hand appeared behind him, and then he pressed his own face and started turning his neck… There was also a hand on his face, not his, it’s a ghost, it must be a ghost.”

Yang Jian frowned; although he didn’t expect to obtain much information, such a chaotic description gave him a headache.

However, being able to speak at all in such a frightened state was already commendable.

“Two dead hands?” He picked up on the key information.

A pair of hands not belonging to the victim appeared above his head, and then his neck was broken.

“It’s different from the first victim’s state,” Yang Jian noted while looking at the second victim’s face, which indeed had a residual palm print.

“Is it a growing ghost? It undergoes some changes after killing someone.”

That possibility sprouted in his mind.

And it was a very likely scenario.

But what was the pattern of the killings?

Or what were the conditions for a ghost to choose its victims?

Or was there no pattern at all, just indiscriminate killings? In the same vein as Ghost Rope.

“Wang Dong, tell them there’s a ghost on the plane, and those who don’t want to die should stay in their seats. I will resolve this paranormal incident,” Yang Jian said.

“Okay,” Wang Dong replied, steeling himself to announce something he would have never believed in his entire life.

“Ladies and gentlemen, due to a sudden supernatural event, assistance has already been arranged from above. All you need to do now is return to your seats and sit tight until the event is over. For the sake of your own life safety, please do not wander around during this period.”

The words were effective.

The passengers promptly returned to their seats, clearly convinced of the reality of the supernatural occurrence.

No explanation was needed, and no one asked if it were really a haunting.

“Good, from now on, everyone look this way. I will keep an eye on your situation, and if there’s anything suspicious, I’ll deal with it immediately,” Yang Jian walked over and stood in front of everyone.

He did not activate the Ghost Domain.

Because although the Ghost Domain could protect the passengers, it would also prevent the ghost’s appearance.

Yang Jian had to draw out the ghost if he wanted to deal with the entity.

Everyone here was bait, including himself.

The only difference was that he could protect himself, and they could not.

“Will this really work?” Wang Dong asked uncertainly.

He didn’t understand ghost hunters and only knew that if there were really a ghost, it would be terribly frightening. Yang Jian didn’t seem like the type of expert who could deal with ghosts, and Wang Dong felt very uneasy.

Yang Jian said nothing but covertly opened his Ghost Eye, vigilant of everything around him while also keeping a close watch on his surroundings.

He would not be foolish enough to think himself one hundred percent safe, as he too might be attacked by a fierce ghost.

Under the dim cabin lights, the atmosphere grew tense; everyone clearly felt a cold, eerie presence around them. They hadn’t paid it much mind before, but now that the possibility of a ghost on the plane had been mentioned, they realized how much the environment had changed.

“With so many people, which one will the ghost attack?” Yang Jian wondered internally.

He was certain that the third victim would soon emerge from amongst these passengers.

However, not everyone possessed the patience to wait.

Some, feeling restless under the oppressive atmosphere, suddenly stood up and exclaimed, “Damn it, it’s just a ghost, isn’t it? With so many people here, are we really afraid of one ghost? A spit from each of us could drown the ghost. The kid in front, you can stop pretending to be a ghost-catching master. I don’t believe you have the ability to catch ghosts.”

“I’m more afraid of the plane crashing than of any ghost, so I suggest we make the plane land immediately, get us out of here, and ensure our safety first. After we’re gone, you can catch the ghost however you want, it has nothing to do with us.”

“Makes sense. I also think we should contact the airline to make the plane land. I don’t know if the ghost is real or not, but the death is real. We innocent people don’t want to get dragged into this.”

“Right, let the plane land first. If something else goes wrong with the plane after this death, we’ll all end up buried with them.”

With that, other passengers started pressuring Wang Dong, demanding the plane be landed.

Wang Dong also looked troubled, unsure of how to proceed.

After all, without orders from above, he couldn’t just command the pilot to land at the nearest airport.

Yang Jian ignored what the passengers were saying and with a movement of his Ghost Eye, intensely fixed his gaze on one seat.

He wasn’t mistaken.

He saw a female passenger suddenly freeze, her eyes filled with fear and despair.

“Is she the ghost’s target?” Yang Jian immediately strode over to her.

At the same time, a pale hand with livor mortis and bruises slowly emerged from behind the woman, resting on her shoulder.

The passenger seemed unable to move, only able to watch as a cold hand unexpectedly touched and swept over her body.

And this hand was clearly not hers, but an eerie additional one.
