Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1199 - 1165: Xiang Lan's Notebook


The previous assumption was that room 100 was safe.

At first glance, this room indeed seemed to pose no danger.

Yang Jian glanced around and, without much hesitation, walked straight into room 100.

This room recorded the information and intelligence that Xiang Lan had gathered over the years while exploring this supernatural place. He was eager to see what had really happened to Xiang Lan, who had been trapped here for so long.

Perhaps he could discover some unexpected secrets.

He stepped into the room.

The layout of the living room was the same as the other rooms, with nothing special about it, although the furnishings in the living room had some slight differences.

Yang Jian saw a square wooden table placed in the living room.

A wooden bench was placed on each side of the table, and on the table were four plates of dishes along with four bowls filled with white rice, each bowl of rice having two chopsticks stuck into it. The chopsticks were red, resembling two sticks of incense.

What was strange was that the four plates of dishes were still steaming, as if they had just been cooked.

“Sticking chopsticks into the rice like this is the way to offer food to the dead,” Yang Jian glanced coldly.

“The dishes are hot, but the rice is cold.”

Li Yang walked over, reached out his fingers and touched the rice a bit.

He could not feel any warmth, but the four plates of dishes were steaming hot.

“There is a notebook here; is this the information we are looking for?”

Tong Qian pointed to a corner of the table.

There lay a notebook, fairly thick and slightly creased, as if it had been used.

“Close the door first,” Yang Jian said.

Li Yang nodded, turned around, and closed the door of room 100.

Afterward, Yang Jian inspected a bit further.

Confirmed without a doubt.

The room indeed had no ghosts or any other abnormal entities; the only unreasonable thing was the table and the notebook on it.

Moreover, the cold rice and hot dishes, along with the red chopsticks stuck in the rice, seemed to have some significance, but he didn’t know what they represented.

Yang Jian ignored these oddities and went straight to the dining table, picking up the notebook resting on it.

“Nothing unusual.”

He looked around again to ensure the surroundings were safe.

Only then did Yang Jian open the notebook. The pages were yellowed, as if stored for a long time, and the text was all in traditional Chinese, but it wasn’t much of an obstacle to read.

“Xiang Lan, when you open this notebook, it means you have entered this room before. This is the information I left when I was still alive. I hope it helps my future self…”

That was the opening line.

And this line was large and particularly noticeable.

Yang Jian frowned and continued to read: “I’ve been trying to find a way out of here, but I failed. I’ve decided to head in another direction, deeper, perhaps there I can find an exit.”

The information broke off.

The second passage continued: “When I saw this notebook again, I knew for certain that I failed in finding an exit in the deeper areas, but I don’t know why I’ve lost memory of that part. I think I may have already died once, but for some unknown reason, I was resurrected.”

It was only the second time entering room 100 that Xiang Lan realized she possessed the ability to continuously resurrect.

“If I can resurrect, then I can continue to attempt until I finally determine the location of the exit. This time, I decided to record my encounter in hopes of increasing my survival rate for the next time.”

“I walked out from room 101 and started exploring the surroundings. Room 104 is very dangerous, that room has no lights; don’t enter it, or you won’t come out alive.”

“Room 105 is an empty room that can temporarily be used as a resting place.”

“Room 106 has ghosts; I barely escaped alive.”

“Room 108…”

What followed was a series of information on dangerous places, and upon resurrecting from room 100, Xiang Lan began to leave useful information behind.

But by the third time, Xiang Lan’s information changed again: “I’ve confirmed that if I die unexpectedly here, I will resurrect in room 101, but I can’t leave information there. That room resets every period.”

The information was slightly more refined, and this time Xiang Lan also marked other dangerous rooms.

After watching for a while, Yang Jian simply noted it down, losing interest.

Because the information Xiang Lan had gathered over numerous lives was becoming ineffective since all the doors outside were opened, allowing ghosts to wander around, no longer fixed in rooms. Therefore, her note about ghosts in some rooms might already be obsolete.

Similarly, the safe rooms she recorded may now have ghosts inside.

Now, everything was somewhat different from how Xiang Lan had recorded it.

“Did someone worry about me entering room 100, acquiring this notebook to fully understand this place, so they opened all the doors to release the ghosts and disrupt the setup here anew?”

Yang Jian’s gaze flickered, a possibility flashed in his mind.

Moreover, that possibility was substantial.

It could both unleash danger, harming me and others, and disrupt the previous layout, rendering all past information useless.

But all this was merely Yang Jian’s personal speculation.

Perhaps this place simply spiraled out of control.

“However, the information I’m searching for isn’t these.”

Yang Jian continued briskly flipping through the notebook.

Most of the notebook recorded those rooms filled with danger, which room had ghosts, which room was safe, which room had food…..

But as Xiang Lan’s death intervals shortened, the information recording became more thorough, and the content in the notebook changed again.

This time it was no longer about which room had danger, but about how to deal with those dangers.

For instance, Xiang Lan noted that in room 49, ghostly singing was occasionally heard, and the method to cope with it was surprisingly to sing with the ghost—just by singing, one wouldn’t be killed by the ghost and could freely access room 49.

Another instance noted room 38, which contained a furnace where bones were burning, but beside the furnace, there was an invisible ghost. If you didn’t add fuel to the furnace, you’d be killed by the ghost and your body stuffed into the furnace to burn.

The response was to open the door to room 104, where a ghost would throw out a bone. That bone could burn for a long time and could serve as fuel for the furnace.

At the same time, Xiang Lan remarked on the dangers of room 104, advising people to avoid being hit by the flying bone, lest they die.

Finally, Xiang Lan added one last piece of information: using the bone from room 104 to fuel the furnace in room 38, during the time when the ghost didn’t kill you, you could steal the ashes from the furnace.

The ashes could be scattered on the ghosts to hinder their attacks, serving as lifesaving means in critical moments.
