Just as the woman disappeared.

The hazy, gray paper dust that once filled the sky above an unnamed city abroad has disappeared.

However, the entire population of the city also disappeared.

The news was discovered by the observation team stationed outside the Ghost Painting, who immediately spread the message.

[The ghost drawing has disappeared; please be on alert nationwide.]

What was originally just an internal news item from one country quickly spread throughout the world via the internet.

Countries around the world are on edge, especially those without many powerful ghost tamers, as the arrival of the ghost painting could very well lead to the destruction of their entire nation.

Asia Headquarters, Dajing City.

"Strict nationwide monitoring is required. Any news of the ghost painting must be reported immediately. We must not allow an S-level paranormal event to happen again in the country!" Upon receiving the news, Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua immediately convened an emergency meeting.

When the Ghost Painting first broke out, they even sent a Ghost Candle to the area, but unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem, and no related information was sent back.

The meeting came and went in a hurry.

The team leaders of all operators should immediately pass on this instruction.

Soon all the headquarters managers received the relevant information.

"What a turbulent time!" Cao Yang sighed as he looked at the messages on his phone. He was currently dealing with a tricky paranormal incident, but unfortunately, he had no choice but to go, or he would die.

On the other side, in DQ City.

Liu San's paper figure frowned as it looked at the message before it.

"I hope it doesn't come to my DQ city; I don't have time to deal with this thing right now."

His words carried a sense of confidence; even if the ghost painting really came, he was confident he could handle it.

At the same time, headquarters also sent a message to the paranormal forum, saying that there was no need for internal strife at this time, so even grassroots organizations should be utilized.

Inside a skyscraper in Dahai City, this is the headquarters of a paranormal forum.

"President Ye, news has come from headquarters that Ghost Painting has disappeared overseas. We are being told to be on guard. If we find any trace of Ghost Painting, we should handle it carefully and, if necessary, request assistance from headquarters," a middle-aged man reported in a deep voice.

At this moment, Ye Zhen held a glass of milk in her hand, savoring it slowly.

"This stuff doesn't taste very good, but I always want more after I finish it," Ye Zhen muttered to himself.

"Mr. Ye, did you understand what I said?"

"Oh... I know. I, Ye Zhen, am invincible under heaven. Let that damn thing come. Watch me take it down with a little effort. The current headquarters is really useless. Why don't we take its place? Only a strong person like me can dominate the future." Ye Zhen said, standing in front of the window.

The faint sunlight outside the building still shone down, highlighting its imposing stature.

The middle-aged man's lips twitched slightly. Is this how you use the Ghost Domain? But he didn't try to stop him. In the whole world, only this man would waste supernatural power like this.

"President Ye... we don't yet have the strength to contend with headquarters, after all, there's still that person around. I'll immediately give the order regarding the Ghost Painting matter, and have my men keep an eye on the situation in Dahai City and the surrounding area."

"Go ahead, don't let headquarters underestimate my paranormal forum. If they notify me that someone else has already taken the title of the first to solve an S-level case, I can't let them have the second place. I'll do a live broadcast so the whole world knows that I, Ye Zhen, just didn't want to take action before..."

The middle-aged man was speechless. Boss Ye was indeed strong, but why was he so childish? Besides, S-level supernatural events weren't exactly commonplace, and they weren't so easy to solve. He didn't understand the point of having the first and second place rankings.

"By the way, Mr. Ye, Sun Rui, whom I asked to investigate before, seems to be out of Dahan City recently. I don't know where he went. Do you think we should be on guard?"

"No need for that. I've already said I'm invincible. If that Sun Rui dares to cause trouble, I'll just kill him with a wave of my hand. I didn't have enough fun fighting with Lao Fang last time. If it weren't for his service to the people, I would have gone after him long ago. How dare he steal my thunder!" Ye Zhen said confidently.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything more and stepped back.

This scene can be seen in every city across the country, including Dachang City.

However, Yang Jian was not in Dachang City at this time.

"Brother Leg, have you received a message from headquarters? The ghost painting incident overseas has suddenly disappeared." Feng Quan looked worried.

"Received. As long as it's not in a city I'm responsible for, it's fine," Yang Jian said coldly.

"That's true. I don't even have the confidence to survive an S-class paranormal event, let alone solve it."

Yang Jian didn't reply. They had just dealt with the newspaper ghost's problem, and he was anxious to go back and revive Zhao Lei. He had been keeping Zhao Lei's body in an ice coffin all this time, and he didn't know if there was any chance of reviving him.

As for Tong Qian's body, although she is still alive, she has not responded. Having lost the ghost face, it is unknown whether she will have a chance to wake up.

……

Outside the gray brick apartment.

Sun Rui sat on the steps, pondering a question: how exactly did the woman in the ghost painting come back to life? This was different from what he remembered.

"All I feel about her is her consciousness. Could it be that the paintings here preserve her consciousness?" He thought of a possibility.

This is the most likely possibility, since the ghost painting itself is the product of the woman's dismemberment, and it's not impossible that her consciousness was preserved.

I just don't know if the consciousness I regained upon waking was that of a ghost or a human...

Sun Rui picked up the pistol beside him and stood up. He had nothing else to do now but wait for the man to return. If he didn't return, he would have no choice but to endure the attack.

He had considered stopping the woman before, but he couldn't do it at all. Before he could even make a move, the woman disappeared. Moreover, his supernatural powers were too weak; he couldn't even stop her from spying on him.

Sun Rui returned to the fourth floor, and the door to room 404 disappeared, marking the temporary end of this incident.

To put it bluntly, this incident was a scheme set up by that woman for her resurrection. If it were an ordinary ghost tamer, they probably wouldn't have been able to complete it, but it was him.

"Everything was designed to make me kill people, reduce the amount of pigment consumed to build the world, and use that to reconnect the broken circuits, all so that consciousness could return..." Sun Rui murmured to himself as he lay on the bed.

The restaurant owner was deliberately murdered at first, then the office worker was murdered, which allowed the man to obtain a lot of information.

Only after Liu Feng revealed so much information was Sun Rui able to compare the different details and believe that the pattern he had discovered was correct.

It was a complete and utter trap.

Sun Rui suspected that the woman existed within the consciousness of these supernatural clones. She might not usually take the lead, but she could take over at any time, which was practically a form of possession.

Time passed quickly. Sun Rui lived in the gray brick apartment, where there were even fewer people. After all, Cassius had died mysteriously in the lounge, and no one knew what had happened.

After his death, the apartment was supposed to be handed over to Arya, but Arya never showed up. Eventually, the apartment was seized by the government. Since there was no legal heir within the stipulated time, the apartment would belong to the local government.
