ghost!
Yang Jian withdrew his hand almost immediately.

However, it was clearly too late.

The ghost messenger's icy hands gripped Yang Jian's arm tightly, and a chilling sensation spread from the spot where the vengeful ghost had grabbed him.

not good!

The Demon Eye was the first to be suppressed.

After the balance was broken, Yang Jian could clearly feel that the vengeful ghost within him had begun to go out of control. The headless ghost shadow began to stir, seemingly about to completely replace Yang Jian at any moment.

Fortunately, the headless ghost's instinct is to piece its broken body back together, so the first thing it does after reviving is to take out the ghost hand from the soul bottle.

A solitary, pale hand appeared before Yang Jian.

Like a child assembling building blocks, a thin line first appeared on Yang Jian's wrist, and the next moment, his palm broke off along that line in a bizarre way.

The ghost hand replaced the fallen normal hand and caught on Yang Jian's wrist.

The entire process was painless, but it left one with an indescribable chill.

Normally, Yang Jian would never have been willing to let his body be controlled by a ghost, and instinctively replaced his normal hand with a ghost's hand.

But he can't care about that now.

Including Ghost Hand, Yang Jian's team now has five ghosts, which creates a delicate balance with the ghost messengers. This is their only hope for survival.

"Yang Jian, the ghost... is still here!"

Huang Ziya's voice trembled slightly. She was very close to Yang Jian and had naturally witnessed the entire process.

Yang Jian remained silent, his face stiff and cold.

But he was far from being as calm as he appeared.

Things did not go as he had originally planned.

A new balance has not been established.

The ghost is still launching supernatural attacks on Yang Jian.

"Damn it... In such a short time, another ghost tamer has died at the hands of the ghost messengers. That means the number of ghost messengers to suppress is now not five, but six."

My mood instantly sank to rock bottom, and the hope that had just risen was extinguished in an instant.

Even with the Ghost Hand at his disposal, Yang Jian was still unable to use his own supernatural abilities.

The three ghosts inside him, including Huang Ziya's and Wang Jiang's ghosts, have been suppressed by the ghost messengers.

Correspondingly, the quota of six ghosts for the ghost messengers was also reduced to five, and only one ghost's supernatural power could be used.

And the last ghost was the ghost rope that was taken from Yang Jian.

The ghost rope then revived.

Old, tattered straw ropes hung down from mid-air, as if they had their own consciousness, and were looped around the necks of Yang Jian and the other two.

The ghost rope wasn't particularly terrifying. Under normal circumstances, Yang Jian would have been able to neutralize such a supernatural attack.

At this moment, Yang Jian, Huang Ziya, and Wang Jiang were just three ordinary people with no power to resist.

The cold, ghostly rope tightened around their necks, threatening to take away their lives in the next moment.

Yang Jian reacted quickly enough; he hurriedly took out a red ghost candle, lit it, and the tightening ghost rope was finally dispelled.

The ghost candle burned very quickly, even to an illogical degree.

Yang Jian's tense nerves did not relax, because he knew that the crisis had only been temporarily resolved.

Once the red ghost candles have burned out, the next wave of attacks will arrive soon.

Moreover, judging from the current rate at which the ghost candles are burning, Yang Jian and the other two won't last much longer. "What should we do? This vengeful ghost is simply unsolvable."

The three were in a near-desperate and dangerous situation.

Fortunately, the short delay caused by the red ghost candles was not entirely ineffective.

Just as the red ghost candle had burned down to about half its length, a deep voice came from the darkness.

"Stand behind me, don't stray too far."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian, Huang Ziya, and Wang Jiang were all stunned. After realizing what was happening, a renewed hope for survival rose in their hearts.

The voice was familiar to all of them.

"Professor Lu!"

"Lu Ming?"

In the darkness, Lu Ming's dirty white mourning clothes stood out conspicuously in the candlelight, while the mummified bride beside him appeared and disappeared in the darkness, seemingly trying to blend into the background.

Red and White Duo.

Such a being, which strikes fear into the hearts of ghost tamers, suddenly appeared, yet Huang Ziya and Wang Jiang felt incredibly at ease, experiencing firsthand what it means for things to take a dramatic turn for the better.

Yang Jian's tense expression eased somewhat.

The mummified bride, the mourning clothes, the white, unknown vengeful ghost, and the water ghost that Lin Shan was riding.

The number of ghosts controlled by Lu Ming is 4.

His arrival tipped the scales between the vengeful ghost and the group.

The vengeful ghosts will not attack them for a while, and Yang Jian can take this opportunity to ask the human skin paper for a way to survive.

Yang Jian's guesses were mostly correct.

However, what he didn't know was that Lu Ming was controlling more than four ghosts.

Ghostly crying face, ghostly smiling face, mourning clothes, ghostly wedding dress, ghostly embroidered shoes, Sadako, water ghost.

Within a certain space, there were as many as seven fierce ghosts.

In the judgment of the ghost messengers, Lu Ming alone occupied seven of the spots.

Unfortunately, the blood-stained old newspaper and Chu Renmei's ghostly mist were not identified as complete vengeful ghosts.

Perhaps because the bloodstained old newspaper was just a supernatural item, and the ghost mist was too incomplete to be considered a piece of the paper ash ghost realm puzzle, neither of them were within the scope of the ghost messenger's calculations.

"The range for judging ghosts is not very large, only the size of a room, so you'd better stay close to me, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."

Lu Ming's tone remained flat, without any inflection.

The reason why it took so long to arrive was certainly not because Lu Ming wanted to deliberately delay.

However, the entire training base had become the ghost realm of the ghost messengers, and Lu Ming had not yet completed the puzzle of the ghost painting for the mummified bride. The ghost realm was his weakness, and he was currently in a suppressed state.

As for Lin Shan's water ghost's ghost domain, although its strength was already quite high, even to the point of affecting reality, after becoming a piece of Sadako's puzzle, its degree of revival was different from before. It could not reach the strength of a fifth-level ghost domain, and it could not be superimposed with the Bride's paper ash ghost domain. It would still be suppressed by the ghost messenger's ghost domain.

Lu Ming had been searching in the dark and didn't know the exact location, so he only found it now. If it weren't for the commotion caused by Yang Jian and the others, it would have been difficult to find this place in a while.

Perhaps because Lu Ming had more slots available, the ghost messengers did not attack him proactively.

After blowing out the ghost candle, darkness returned to the surroundings.

The tattered straw rope had been taken away by the vengeful ghost, and the stiff, eerie figure had once again vanished into the darkness.

"The danger is not over. Having more slots than the vengeful ghost can only guarantee our safety temporarily. Once that ghost kills the other scattered ghost tamers one by one and grows to a level that is difficult to fight, the supernatural events will continue to expand."

"Moreover, simply running away is not the solution; we must take the initiative to resolve this paranormal event."
