Chapter 1451 - 1418: Wang Lu and His Wife

At this moment, Yang Jian was taking some time to study the Supernatural Pendulum Clock he retrieved from the Wang Family’s ancient house, because he hoped this supernatural item could be of use at critical moments, so he needed to grasp how to use the pendulum clock.

He hadn’t had time to ponder it before, but now that he finally had a bit of free time, he had to make the most of it.

“Now the Supernatural Pendulum Clock’s time has aligned with reality, but the secret to the clock’s reset hasn’t been mastered. As long as the rules of the clock’s reset can be figured out, then the Supernatural Pendulum Clock can exert its proper value,” Yang Jian focused intently on the old pendulum clock, observing it carefully.

However, under the strong supernatural interference, the ghostly eye couldn’t glimpse the condition inside the clock, but through normal observation, Yang Jian could see that inside this clock was a shriveled corpse curled up, seemingly intertwined with the clock’s innards.

Under the influence of some supernatural power, various gears inside the clock were rotating incessantly in an incomprehensible manner.

“The shriveled corpse inside the clock is clearly a ghost, and this ghost is the source of the clock’s supernatural nature, yet this ghost has always been in some state of slumber,” Yang Jian mused.

He didn’t dare to disturb the ghost inside the clock, fearing that awakening it might lead to it breaking free from the clock’s constraints.

But as he continued to research and explore, Yang Jian gradually discovered some aspects of the clock.

First, no one could easily change the time on the clock; the only way to alter the clock’s time was through the wide-area reset method of the ghostly eye.

Secondly, the clock would automatically chime every hour, but it didn’t necessarily reset each time it chimed. This had no discernible pattern, perhaps due to the limited time in studying it; at least for now, Yang Jian hadn’t discovered any pattern.

Moreover, the clock’s reset wasn’t always to half an hour before; it could also move to half an hour after.

“With irregular resets, creating a zone of time disarray, it’s clear this clock was deliberately controlled and adjusted to trap a region’s ghosts; I suspect it’s highly likely Wang Chaling’s parents did it while alive. They wanted to ensure the ghosts in the Wang Family’s ancient house could never be freed.”

“So, if I want to use this clock, I’ll need to reset its operational method. But the method for this resetting might only be known to Wang Chaling. If even he doesn’t know, then no one in this world knows how to use this thing.”

Yang Jian secretly pondered.

He thought for a moment and decided to call Wang Chaling and ask about it.

However, when Yang Jian called, Wang Chaling’s response was somewhat unexpected.

“Yang Jian, I know some about the Supernatural Pendulum Clock, but not much. You mentioned resetting the operational method of the clock; honestly, I’m really not sure. I can confidently tell you that my parents never discussed these things with me while they were alive, though they did leave some notes behind at the ancient house.”

Wang Chaling responded on the phone: “And you know too, the Wang Family’s ancient house was occupied by others for a while; if there was anything inside, it likely fell into others’ hands long ago. Like that last Pendulum Clock Organization, if they were still alive, they must know something, but unfortunately, they offended you and were wiped out. Now, finding my parents’ notes is probably an impossible task.”

“Nothing is impossible. Prepare your parents’ relics so He Yiner can hold a séance,” Yang Jian calmly suggested, immediately providing a solution.

“He Yiner’s séance, huh? That’s something worth trying. Hold on; I’ll head home to find their relics,” Wang Chaling said.

Yang Jian replied, “Hurry up; I’ll be waiting for you in the conference hall.”

“Alright,” Wang Chaling finished his sentence, hung up the phone, and set off.

After putting down his phone, Yang Jian prepared to return to the conference hall with the Supernatural Pendulum Clock.

In fact, he didn’t necessarily need to trouble Wang Chaling for help; he still had human skin paper in his possession, which he could use to inquire about the pendulum clock’s usage.

But at this critical moment, Yang Jian didn’t want any unexpected events to occur, so he refrained from using the human skin paper to prevent it from tampering with the pendulum clock.

Soon.

Yang Jian returned to the top-floor conference hall of the Ning’an Building with the Supernatural Pendulum Clock.

This wasn’t in reality but in Lin Bei’s Mirror World.

Currently, there were still quite a few captains lingering in the conference hall. Although there was nothing urgent now, they didn’t dare to leave casually during these days because the King Organization could take action at any time, and they had to be prepared to respond accordingly.

“Yang Wudi, you finally arrived; I’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” a low voice sounded at this moment.

At the conference table, an out-of-place figure came into Yang Jian’s view.

“Ye Zhen?”

Seeing him, Yang Jian was surprised, but then he remembered that he had previously invited Ye Zhen to help, so it wasn’t odd for Ye Zhen to appear at this time.

“Take a rest first. I have something to handle here. By the way, where did He Yiner go? Has anyone seen her?”

“She just went out to pick someone up,” Zhou Deng said. “Why? Do you need her? I can get in touch with her for you.”

“Notify her to return as soon as possible; there’s something I need her help with,” Yang Jian said.

Zhou Deng nodded, picked up his phone, and began contacting He Yiner.

Soon after, Wang Chaling, who hadn’t been gone long, returned, carrying two relics, his parents’ old clothes.

“Yang Jian, I brought the items you wanted. I also want to see if He Yiner’s séance can be successful. If it can, I have some things I’d like to say to my parents,” Wang Chaling said, placing the old clothes on the conference table.

“He Yiner went out for a moment, so we’ll start the séance when she returns,” Yang Jian replied.

Wang Chaling nodded and found a seat, unbothered as he had plenty of time to wait.

Soon.

There was feedback from He Yiner that she’d arrive in ten minutes.

Hearing this, Yang Jian didn’t rush and quietly waited for ten minutes.

However, He Yiner was punctual; after seven or eight minutes, she arrived at the top-floor conference hall by elevator, accompanied by a tall, faceless man.

This man was the Faceless Person from Taiping Ancient Town, whom Yang Jian, Leuk San, and others had met before, so he wasn’t entirely unfamiliar.

“As discussed earlier, this is external support I invited from Taiping Ancient Town. He doesn’t have a name; you can refer to him as the Faceless Person. But rest assured, he is trustworthy and will help us win this battle,” He Yiner spoke earnestly, also introducing the Faceless Person to the others.

The Faceless Person didn’t speak but raised his hand to greet everyone.

The other captains responded in kind.

Yang Jian said, “The Faceless Person helped Ah Hong before, so there’s a history of collaboration. I trust that he is reliable. He will stay with you during the upcoming actions.”

Yang Jian actually realized that the Faceless Person’s presence was likely not for participation in the battle but more about protecting He Yiner.

After all, He Yiner was the hope for Taiping Ancient Town’s future and couldn’t fall into the hands of the King Organization.

He Yiner said, “Yang Jian, I heard from Zhou Deng that you needed me for something? What is it specifically?”

“Help with a séance,”

Yang Jian pointed to the two old clothes on the conference table.

“Whose relics are these? A séance has its taboos. If it’s for an enemy or someone unclear in position, it might be hazardous,” He Yiner asked.

“They are my parents’ relics,” Wang Chaling stood up from his seat.

He Yiner said, “Then there should be no problem, but you must be prepared for the possibility of the séance failing. Also, be cautious of any unpredictable changes in the spirits summoned. If anything arises, I’ll immediately terminate the séance. Don’t blame me for not warning you in advance.”

“Of course,” Yang Jian replied.

“Then I’ll begin,” He Yiner walked over, directly picking up the two old clothes.

Using items from life as a medium gives a high probability of summoning their spirits.

With the emergence of supernatural forces.

Two blurry figures appeared beside He Yiner, which gradually became clearer, forming the image of a middle-aged couple.

These two were precisely Wang Chaling’s parents, Wang Lu and his wife.
