In the investigation of paranormal events

Chen Ran and the paper doll returned to the ship, leaning on Jason's magician's hat, but Jason shouted anxiously, "Where's Jiang Cheng?!"

The two turned around and realized that Jiang Cheng hadn't returned...

"Damn it! I'm going back to save Jiang Cheng right now!"

Chen Ran clenched her fists, as if she was about to go up again at any moment, but was pulled back by the magician.

"Chen Ran! Calm down! You'll just be throwing your life away!"

"So be it! I can't just stand by and watch Jiang Cheng die! He's the one I brought here!"

Chen Ran was truly enraged at this moment. The light emanating from her pair of azure eyes was dazzling, like a brilliant sapphire in the night sky.

Jiang Cheng gripped the "Devil's Eye" to his chest, ready to fight the amusement park to the death.

"If you go, then I'll go too."

The paper figure remained calm, as if it were talking about something insignificant.

"Hey! Calm down, you're all dead. Do you think I'd have the face to go back?"

"I might as well just jump into the river and die here."

Chen Ran tried to leave, but the magician held her back tightly, and the magician even closed his eyes.

"Chen Ran! Don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out!"

He was afraid that Chen Ran would turn around and hypnotize him, so he closed his eyes in advance.

"Let go! Jason! Jiang Cheng is dead, I have no face to see Jiang."

You should know that it was Chen Ran who called Jiang Cheng over, and it was he who introduced Jiang Cheng to the world of containment experts. He was even the one who told Jiang Cheng that containment experts don't live long and will die at the hands of some strange entity sooner or later.

But what he didn't expect was that Jiang Cheng would die before him, and in such a way!

"Paper doll, you help me hold Chen Ran back!" Jansen shouted hurriedly.

The paper figure stood silently to the side, neither speaking nor making a move, watching quietly. It seemed somewhat disappointed as well.

No one expected things to develop this way. If they had known it would turn out this way, they would never have come to gather intelligence. Now the intelligence has been gathered, but Jiang Cheng will never come back.

Chen Ran was prepared to use the "Eye of the Devil," even though the consequences would be severe, he would bear them all.

"Wait, Chen Ran, maybe Jiang Cheng is still alive!"

Jason held Chen Ran tightly and shouted loudly.

"Who do you take Jiang Cheng for! How could he survive in this situation? He has ghost eyes, not god eyes!"

It's obvious that Jiang Cheng is doomed. Even with the Shadow Ghost's abilities, it's useless. He's facing a time-limited maze, and no matter how many times he moves, he can't break free.

"Let me go, Jason!"

"Paper doll! If you don't help me, we're all doomed!"

"Jiang Cheng died in vain! Do you want Chen Ran to die in vain too?!"

Hearing the magician's words, the paper figure was somewhat moved and finally spoke up: "Chen Ran, don't do anything foolish anymore. Jiang Cheng is already dead, and even if we try to save her now, it's too late."

"You're usually so calm during missions, why are you acting like this now?"

"That's because I absolutely have to save Jiang Cheng!"

"As long as Jiang Cheng isn't dead, I'm confident I can rescue him!" Chen Ran shouted.

"Use the Demon Eye?"

"You know the side effects of using that product; it's uncertain whether you can even save your life."

"So what?! If I don't do this, Jiang Cheng is definitely dead!"

"He's dead already! Chen Ran! If you go now, you'll only find Jiang Cheng's corpse!!"

The magician continued to earnestly persuade him.

"The Ship of Theseus, on its way..."

"Leave here."

As the paper figure finished speaking, the Ship of Theseus began to move slowly.

"Stop! Stop right now!"

Soon, some scraps of paper floated to Chen Ran's mouth. The paper figure stuffed paper into Chen Ran's mouth and closed its eyes...

……

"Where...am I?"

Jiang Cheng slowly opened her eyes. "Am I already dead?" Jiang Cheng murmured softly.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng's eyes were lifeless and dull, like a stagnant pool.

"You're not dead."

A clear, ethereal voice echoed in Jiang Cheng's mind.

"Are you the weirdo that assimilated me?" Jiang Cheng believed from the bottom of her heart that she was already dead, and that the one talking to her now was just the weirdo from the amusement park.

"..."

"You're alive. I saved you."

"Heh! Don't joke around. How could anyone possibly save me in that situation? It was all just a pipe dream."

Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly, then closed her eyes again.

"I told you you're still alive, but if you're so eager to die, I don't care if you die here."

"What a waste of time to save a good-for-nothing."

Hearing this tone, Jiang Cheng came to his senses, opened his eyes, and looked at everything in front of him. At this moment, everything around him was black. He sensed something was wrong and suddenly sat up.

Looking at her hands, Jiang Cheng was somewhat horrified: "My hands are still here."

"I...I'm not dead?"

Jiang Cheng looked around. It seemed to be a black barrier. Jiang Cheng could not see the outside world from here, but could only see the inside.

"Where am I?"

"Are you really not a weirdo?"

As Jiang Cheng spoke, he suddenly realized something and activated his Yin-Yang Eyes. This was a barrier enveloped in supernatural phenomena, and it was extremely powerful!

"My ability to see ghosts is still there..."

At this moment, Jiang Cheng realized something: she might not really be dead.

The person I was just talking to was...

"Who are you?"

"And, am I really not dead?"

A clear, ethereal voice exploded in Jiang Cheng's mind: "I'm not human! You're not dead! Did you hear me?!"

"I...I heard it clearly." Jiang Cheng's ears hurt from the shock, and she was a little dazed.

"Stay here for a while, and you can go out after the amusement park issue is resolved."

"Also, my body isn't hard to guess. There's only one possibility that could have saved you in that situation."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng understood: "You! You're Black Ring!"

……

Headquarters.

When Jiang heard the news of Jiang Cheng's death, he was shocked. For a long time, he was in a daze, with ringing in his ears.

"Jiang Cheng... is dead?" Jiang asked incredulously.

He had advised Jiang Cheng before that some things should be done step by step, that his Yin-Yang Eyes had a very high limit and needed a certain amount of time to grow, but in the end, he still died...

Moreover, it died in the very amusement park incident that it feared most.

Chen Ran only informed Jiang of the news afterward and did not return to headquarters because they were too ashamed to face Jiang.

The three people at this moment—

"Chen Ran, what do we do now?" the paper figure asked.

Chen Ran didn't speak, but just stood on the shore staring at the amusement park, her eyes wide with anger. She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingers almost dug into her flesh, and a few drops of blood slowly flowed down her fingertips.

"Ugh! I should have known better than to come up with that terrible idea."

Jason leaned against the shore, propped his face up with his hands, and looked at the sea below, feeling an urge to jump in.

"We will not go to see Chiang Kai-shek, we will not return to headquarters, and we will not ask anyone else for help."

"We'll try to resolve this ourselves, or perhaps, we'll take it all down with us..."

"Use whatever means you have, this is the last time."

Chen Ran then left.

The two exchanged a glance and realized that Chen Ran was prepared to die. Although they didn't want to risk their lives for the amusement park, they weren't cowards either. After all, they were containment experts and knew that they would die sooner or later.

Since that was the case, they had no choice but to accept it. The two of them made up their minds and then sighed.

Since Chen Ran is going, they should follow her.

It'll be good to have Chen Ran's company on the road to the underworld, and the four of them can still be good brothers in hell.

"Chen Ran is going to use the Evil Eye," the magician said.

"Yes, I'm also planning to use my trump card."

"What are your trump cards?"

"The whole body turns into paper."

Hearing the paper figure say this, the magician simply took off his magician's hat with a forlorn expression, then patted it lightly, as if saying goodbye to an old friend.

Then a rose appeared out of it, and the wind blew it across the sea, scattering the bright red petals onto the water, as if it were making a final prayer to the world.

Let's love this world one last time.

"This is also my last magic trick as a magician."

The magician then put on his hat, intending to perform his biggest magic trick in the amusement park.
