Forbidden Zone of Deception

Chapter 66 Rescuing Ghost-Eyed Yang Jian! (Part 1)
"Liu Yan!"

Jiang Jin, who has a mental link with Liu Yan, rushed into the women's restroom immediately!
"Are you alright, Liu Yan?"

At that moment, the door to the women's restroom stall opened, and Liu Yan came out.

As for Tomie?

It had been completely eaten by gray nematodes, leaving not a single scrap of meat.

Her face was pale, and there was still blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Liu Yan!"

"Alright," Liu Yan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "I won't die, it's nothing serious."

At this moment, she was stunned when she saw Jiang Jin's gun barrel bent into a pretzel shape.

"you???"

Jiang Jin looked at the Sangming gun; at that moment, the vascular patterns on it were flashing red light, gradually repairing the weapon. However, the repair was very slow.

After the two left the restroom, Liu Yan's expression grew increasingly grim.

“I just remembered something. Remember when I told you? A gray nematode found a hair on the louver of the cafeteria’s ventilation vent.”

"Yes, I remember..."

“Ghost infants don’t have hair that long, not even those in the third stage,” Liu Yan continued. “And the information that Tomie conveyed to me, simply put, is that all ghost infants are just pawns. The source behind them lies deep within the Lost Layer, perhaps even in the gap between the Lost Layer and the Annihilation Layer! I only used Tomie to peek inside, and even staying in the Mysterious Layer, I suffered such a backlash!”

Then, she looked out the window at the library.

"Rescuing Yang Jian is more difficult than we thought. The primary problem is those coffin nails!"

The most difficult part of rescuing Yang Jian was that the coffin nails seemed very hard to remove.

Not only that, she immediately used the Mind-Reading Leech on Yang Jian. Although she couldn't read his mind, she could confirm one thing: the coffin nail kept his SAN value below 60%.

Afterwards, she also tried to monitor Yang Jian's SAN value changes in the Lost Layer using the Mind-Reading Leech. Yang Jian seemed to struggle to raise his SAN value, but it would quickly drop again due to the coffin nails! Of course, less than half an hour later, the Mind-Reading Leech died in the Lost Layer and lost its connection with her!
"We need to consider a more prudent tactic."

“No,” Jiang Jin replied, “I am fifty percent confident that I can rescue Yang Jian.”

"Fifty percent certainty?" Liu Yan was taken aback. "What have you discovered? Or have you come up with a specific tactic?"

"I'm sorry. For some reason, I can't tell you what my confidence comes from."

Jiang Jin wouldn't tell anyone that he was a "cheat lawyer," including Liu Yan. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but rather that he couldn't be sure how the reincarnation system could detect his identity as a cheat lawyer.

The rule-altering is Jiang Jin's biggest trump card!

He has already figured out how to do this by tampering with the rules!
"Alright, I can't tell you the truth behind Jin Lanlan's photos anyway."

Ten minutes later.

Student Archives Room.

"Why are you asking these questions?" the archivist asked Jiang Jin, puzzled. "And what do you need 'that thing' for?"

Jiang Jin smiled apologetically and said, "Thank you for your help."

As he spoke, he handed a pack of cigarettes to the teacher in front of him. Anyway, the shrine guard in the [Water Pool Evil Spirit] instance hadn't confiscated them, so they would come in handy now.

"Okay, I'll check for you..."

7 p.m.

Jiang Jin and Liu Yan returned to the library.

The library remains open at this time.

As they entered the brightly lit library, Jiang Jin and Liu Yan were both prepared to fight to the death.

The barrel of the mortar was finally restored at this moment.

Currently, Ghost Eye Yang Jian is the only ghost tamer capable of unleashing a ghost domain, and in the original story, he was the one who resolved all the calamities. Most importantly, rescuing him would grant access to the [Coffin Nail] used to imprison the source ghost in the original work!
For these reasons alone, it's worth the risk to rescue Yang Jian!
Of course, there is no doubt how dangerous it is.

As a married couple, they have various trump cards, a wedding anniversary buff, and their ultimate weapon: the Insect Hunting Festival!
"Jiang Jin, whatever you do, don't let the ghost infant touch you and leave a ghost slave mark on you! Even my Gu can't get rid of the ghost slave mark."

"understood."

The two people and the dog arrived at the library.

Jiang Jin and Liu Yan reached out their hands to each other, and then... held them tightly!
The [Blood Oath] skill is activated at this moment!

Every Spirit-Eating Bee hovering in the air, and every gray worm crawling on the walls and bookshelves, began to evolve into a [Blood Rust Gu]!
Meanwhile, Liu Yan chose to let the Soul-Eating Bees attack her, while Jiang Jin activated Hunter's Vision, and the two descended into the Lost Layer!
Soon, a dark, bluish-black haze began to appear from all directions. Jiang Jin immediately retrieved the golden box containing the knocking ghost and put it back into his watch!
Then, he and Liu Yan went to the fourth floor!

A massive number of Soul-Eating Bees surged into the dark blue-black haze!

At the same time, Jiang Jin also released the Blood Eater Crows!
Blood Eater Raven can directly share vision with Jiang Jin!

The swarm vision can be shared with Deathstroke and fed back to Jiang Jin immediately!
“This place no longer possesses the characteristics of material space in the material layer, which means… it’s impossible to calculate how far we are from the wall from the material layer’s spatial distance.” Liu Yan looked at the bluish-black haze ahead. So far, no ghost infants have appeared, and some of the Spirit-Eating Bees that have invaded the haze have already lost contact!
The Blood-Eating Raven flew swiftly through the dark blue haze, providing Jiang Jin with firsthand intelligence.

where is it?
Where exactly is Yang Jian?
Jiang Jin's gaze traveled through the blood-eating crow's pupils, piercing through the thick, dark blue haze.

The library's bookshelves twisted and deformed in the lost layers, and the book covers writhed like the skin of some kind of creature.

Blood-eating crows swept past rows of bookshelves, suddenly—

"found it!"

In a reading room at the deepest part of the fourth floor, Yang Jian was nailed to the wall.

His ghostly eyes were bloodshot, and his pupils kept moving, clearly resisting some kind of corruption.

The surrounding bookshelves were filled with the shadows of evil spirits "guarding" him.

“He’s in the reading room, section C, on the 4th floor!” Jiang Jin whispered, “but he’s surrounded by ghost infants… at least twenty of them.”

With a flick of her finger, Liu Yan caused the swarming Spirit-Eating Bees to change direction and rush towards Area C.

“Let the Blood Rust Gu clear the way first,” she said. “Once we’re interfered with by the Ghost Infant, we’ll charge in.”

Jiang Jin nodded and gripped the boning knife tightly. The blood-red patterns on the blade glowed faintly, the Hunting Curse Blade ready to strike.

The swarm of corrosive bees rushed into the reading room like a black mist, and the corrosive nature of the Blood Rust Gu instantly transformed the bodies of the ghost infants into rusty iron-like metal.

"It's now!"

The two people and the dog rushed forward at the same time!
Deathstroke lunged at the nearest ghost infant, the hound's sharp teeth tearing through its bluish-black skin, blood spurting out. Jiang Jin followed closely behind, a flash of light from his blade, and a ghost infant attempting to pounce was severed at the waist, but its severed upper body continued to crawl on the ground, its fingers reaching for his ankle.

Liu Yan snorted coldly, flicked her finger, and several spirit-eating bees precisely burrowed into the ghost infant's eye sockets, hollowing them out from the inside. Then, a ghostly blue flame burned them!
They fought their way through and finally arrived in front of Yang Jian.

Yang Jian's condition was worse than expected.

His right arm had turned bluish-black, and something seemed to be wriggling under the skin.

"Can you still move?" Jiang Jin squatted down.

Yang Jian's ghostly eyes suddenly turned to him, his voice hoarse: "You guys actually got here so quickly?"

"I've come up with a great tactic." Then, Jiang Jin raised his hand and gripped the coffin nail tightly. "I will definitely get you out of here!"

These coffin nails firmly pinned Yang Jian's body to the Lost Layer, so they had to be removed in order to rescue him back to the Mysterious Layer!
Just then, the entire library shook violently, and from the depths of the gloom came the piercing cry of a newborn baby—

The gloom behind me surged in like a tide, the bookshelf collapsed, and the books turned their pages automatically in mid-air.

The death knell suddenly howled, and Jiang Jin jerked to the side. A bluish-black infant arm reached out from the shadows, nearly tearing his throat apart.

"Damn it!" He swung his knife backhand, severing his arm, but more ghost infants crawled out from all directions.

Jiang Jin gritted his teeth, but the coffin nails seemed to be ingrained in Yang Jian's flesh and blood, and he couldn't pull them out no matter what he did!
He raised the siren, aimed it at the depths of the dark blue haze, and pulled the trigger!

The ghost infants seem endless in this Lost Layer, and far more terrifying than in the Mysterious Layer.

Even with the [Blood Rust Gu] buff from the wedding anniversary, this situation is far too dangerous!

Once the ghost babies surround them, they will eventually run out of ammunition and food!
Finally, Jiang Jin began to use his ability as a charlatan lawyer and started to—alter the rules!
He made the altered rules apply only to Yang Jian in front of him! Then, he took out something from the archives!

"Yang Jian, don't move!"

"Ugh, what's that thing in your hand... Aaaaaaah!"

In that instant, the coffin nails indeed loosened slightly, and Yang Jian screamed in agony. As the coffin nails loosened, the ghost eye pierced by them began to fill with bloodshot veins!
"Quick!" Yang Jian shouted, "As long as the coffin nails are pulled out, I can use the Ghost Domain!"

"Okay! It's about to be pulled out! Just bear with it!"

Yang Jian's eyes were also red with anger. As long as he could break free, he could unleash the Ghost Domain!

Just as Jiang Jin was about to completely pull out the coffin nail that was embedded in Yang Jian's hand, a bluish-black arm the size of an adult suddenly stretched out from the shadows and grabbed Jiang Jin's neck!
