Mysterious Awakening-Chapter 471: A Pair of Embroidered Shoes
Qian Yi, as one of the survivors who had lived through this supernatural event, died due to his severe injuries, which was admittedly a somewhat stifling way to die for a necromancer.
Others were either killed by the resurrection of powerful ghosts or murdered by ghosts, and it was rare to see someone die from injuries.
But his death was within Yang Jian’s expectations.
After all, he had been lying on the ground bleeding continuously, so it would have been strange if he had survived; the fact that he hadn’t been killed by that ghost on the spot was already fortunate.
At this moment, Yang Jian was staring at Qian Yi’s corpse.
The others also noticed his gaze and turned to look at the body on the ground.
"Qian Yi is dead?" Huang Ziya seemed somewhat surprised, as Qian Yi had still been alive when she had used the Ghost Candle to lure away the Ghost Rope.
She hadn’t expected this man to die after the supernatural event was over.
"Dead is dead, will there be a shortage of deaths today? If this guy hadn’t tricked us once, we wouldn’t have had to take that risk earlier." Zhang Lei glanced over, he had been the one to persuade Yang Jian to set aside their differences temporarily and join forces with Qian Yi for the greater good.
Now that the supernatural event was over, this person’s life or death was no longer important.
A person willing to harm even his teammates, who would sooner or later become a scourge possessing two ghosts, was someone he looked down upon, so he wouldn’t say anything good even in death.
Wang Jiang said beside them, "Wait, if this person is dead, doesn’t that mean it is very likely that the ghost inside his body could appear?"
"You’re right, that’s a good reminder." Zhang Lei was suddenly startled.
At this moment, the corpse of Qian Yi, already dead, began to convulse, and then his legs eerily stood up, but his upper body was bent over as if broken and fell backwards like a snapped sapling, his once peaceful, dead face now eerily facing the crowd.
"Not good, the ghost in his body is indeed trying to escape. What’s in his file? Does anyone remember? We need to handle this quickly," another necromancer said urgently upon seeing this.
"I haven’t seen his file, so how could anyone going through the training be expected to look at each person’s file." Zhang Lei looked solemn, carefully retreating back, as in his current state he was not fit for direct contact with ghosts.
"Yang Jian, should we just leave it? We probably don’t have the capacity to handle another supernatural event right now, do we?"
Huang Ziya and Wang Jiang, as well, who each controlled a ghost, were not in a good state after the supernatural event and started to get nervous.
Yang Jian glanced over and spoke slowly, "This is just the most common supernatural event. Qian Yi did not die from the resurrection of a fierce ghost. This ghost can still be controlled, even an ordinary person could handle it. Don’t worry, I’ll deal with it."
He walked over boldly, not showing any fear.
Just the presence of the Headless Ghost Shadow could fully suppress the ghost inside Qian Yi’s body, as he had already tried it before.
However, the eerily standing Qian Yi seemed not too keen on letting Yang Jian approach, his legs as if controlled, quickly walked forward, taking just a few steps before his body appeared more than a hundred meters away.
"What the hell?" The others saw this scene and were immediately shocked.

The corpse had just been here, so how had it gotten so far away after just a few steps?
"Similar to the abilities of the Ghost Domain, but not the same, able to traverse distances without concern?" Yang Jian’s eyes narrowed. He took a step forward and appeared right in front of Qian Yi’s body, over a hundred meters away. RαŊOβÊṩ
Underneath the Headless Ghost Shadow, Qian Yi’s body immediately lost some mysterious force and collapsed to the ground.
Yang Jian’s gaze turned to the pair of shoes on Qian Yi’s body.
They were a pair of ordinary leather shoes.
However, this was his Ghost Domain, real supernatural phenomena couldn’t escape his eyes. Yang Jian crouched down and took off the leather shoes from Qian Yi’s legs.
The true supernatural revealed its face.
Inside the leather shoes, Qian Yi’s feet were wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes.
They resembled the style from the Republic of China Period but were somewhat worn. The red pattern was slightly eerie, giving off an unpleasant feeling.
Moreover, the shoes were very small, a man couldn’t possibly fit into them, but Qian Yi had, his large feet twisted and deformed, clearly having been forcibly put on.
"A woman with bound feet would be the right fit for controlling these ghostly things, men better not even try," Yang Jian said as he took off the red embroidered shoes.
In his hands, the pair of shoes seemed to have lost their supernatural aura and had become just an ordinary item.
That was the result of suppression.
He took the embroidered shoes back to where he had been, then found a golden box in his suitcase, placed the shoes inside, and locked it.
"Just a pair of shoes?" Zhang Lei asked, slightly surprised.
Yang Jian said, "They’re an oddity, and they might be useful."
He reflected on the situation before; these shoes could move freely within his Ghost Domain. If they were revived, they might even force their way out of his Ghost Domain, or possibly even do something more formidable.
Yang Jian hadn’t encountered many such peculiar items. So far, he had only come into contact with a few, such as mortuary clothes, the Ghost Cabinet, and the Ghost Rope...
Moreover, these types of items were different from ordinary ghosts. To some extent, if you could control them, they could play a very important role, and you wouldn’t have to worry about the resurrection of fierce ghosts, as when he had previously controlled the Ghost Rope.
A revived ghost had been forcefully used as a tool to restrict other ghosts, which was both handy and convenient.
Unfortunately... the item was now taken away by the ghost in the coffin, and it was uncertain whether there would be a chance to retrieve it in the future. Find more chapters on
"The matter is over, it’s time to leave the training base, as it’s not very safe here; moreover, I might need to visit Professor Wang’s laboratory," Yang Jian said as he packed his belongings and looked back.
It was time for him to carry out the final clean-up.
He opened his three Ghost Eyes, and then superimposed them with no suspense. In an instant, he opened three layers of the Ghost Domain.
To ensure there were no supernatural threats around him, and also to determine whether the ghost that had been released from the bottle was lingering nearby.
After opening the three layers of the Ghost Domain, he didn’t feel any resurgence of fierce ghosts. His Ghost Eyes were calm, as if they had crashed. The Coffin Nail that had merged with his hand and the three ghosts within him had reached a perfect balance. He felt unusually good, like he had become an ordinary person with supernatural abilities.
After three seconds of opening the three layers of the Ghost Domain, Yang Jian retracted them.
Those three seconds were enough for him to ascertain the situation around him.
"No discoveries."
Yang Jian frowned; "Even in the three layers of the Ghost Domain, I didn’t see any ghosts around. Did the ghost from the bottle run away, or was it taken by the Ghost Coffin?"
He felt it was more likely taken by the Ghost Coffin.
Since it was confirmed to be safe, that was all that mattered.
Immediately, he picked up his luggage bag and turned to walk out of the training base.
"Yang Jian, where are you going now?" Others saw Yang Jian preparing to leave and hurriedly followed.
Among the few remaining people, it seemed that Yang Jian had become the sole pillar.
Yang Jian said, "I’m planning to go back to the hotel for a bath, then rest for a bit."
"Didn’t headquarters say we’re not supposed to go back to J city for the time being?" Huang Ziya said in surprise.
Yang Jian replied, "Headquarters is concerned about your conditions, afraid that, like our classmate Wang Jiang, you might suddenly have a ghostly resurgence in Ping’an Hotel. Although I don’t know if you’ll have a ghost resurgence, I definitely won’t, so it’s best to heed headquarters’ order, agree superficially to save face for them, but after hanging up the phone, you do as you please."
"Would headquarters really trouble you over such a trivial matter? Don’t be naive. Right now, headquarters is still busy dealing with the recent supernatural incident."
"We may have survived, but the supernatural event isn’t over; that ghost is still out there. In the face of such a big issue, our movements won’t be of concern as long as we don’t cause trouble."
Wang Jiang paused, "That makes sense, in which case I’ll also go back to the hotel to rest."
Yang Jian said, "Being willful is only okay if you know your limits. Decide for yourself."
With that, he left without looking back.
He had already cleared up everything in the training base. The corpse of the ghost controller, the bodies of the victims, were all placed on the ground, ready for collection. Moreover, he had confirmed that there were no more supernatural events occurring within the entire training base.
Who else could do such a thorough job?
