A bizarre resurrection: I, Yang Jian, am bound by a contract with the school beauty!

Dead skin?

Coffin nails?

Upon hearing these two names, Wu Shenggui's pupils, made of oil paint, suddenly contracted.

He had no idea what the two supernatural items represented.

but!

Yang Jian must have some ulterior motive!

For an instant.

The resentment and bitterness in Wu Shenggui's heart completely vanished.

Instead.

It was a deep-seated tremor and... ecstasy!

Yes, ecstatic!

It realized that this might not be a punishment, but a tremendous opportunity!

The man before me is undeniably powerful, and his potential is unfathomable.

He is like a rising demon star in this strange world, destined to rule the world in the future.

If only I could become a subordinate of such a person.

To do things for him.

The benefits one can then obtain will be unimaginable!

This is so much better than being trapped in this hotel, living a life without seeing the light of day!

I've figured that out.

Wu Shenggui no longer hesitated.

It made a "plop" sound.

He knelt on one knee, lowered his proud head, and roared in an almost pious tone, "Your subordinate obeys! I will find this item for you!"

It even changed its name.

From this moment on...

It was no longer the leader of the opera troupe, but a lackey under Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was not surprised by its reaction. Its scarlet ghost eyes stared at it indifferently, without the slightest fluctuation.

He doesn't need loyalty, he only needs results.

"Go."

He uttered two words calmly.

"yes!"

The martial arts performer was granted a general amnesty.

He respectfully kowtowed, then his entire body transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished instantly at the end of the corridor.

And the bizarre dismemberment on the ground.

Under the influence of its power, it also began to reorganize, and departed with him.

They searched for the two legendary items for their new master.

With the departure of the martial arts ghost.

The oppressive and gloomy atmosphere of the entire hotel seemed to have been stripped of its core and began to dissipate rapidly.

The air is no longer cold.

The lights have returned to normal.

The bloodstains that had seeped through the wall slowly faded away.

This terrifying haunted shop is returning to its original state.

It was at this moment that...

A line of golden text appeared simultaneously in front of the few surviving players.

【game over.】

There is no longer any fatal threat within the hotel.

Please select your destination:

[Leaving (returning to the real world)]

[Stay (and continue exploring this bizarre world)]

I saw this line of text.

The surviving players almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

They collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their faces filled with relief and lingering fear at surviving the ordeal.

ended.

This hellish hunting game is finally over!

Without hesitation, they reached out and, with trembling hands, tapped the "Leave" option.

I don't want to stay in this awful place for even a second longer!

A flash of light.

Their figures disappeared one after another in the hotel lobby.

The huge hotel was suddenly left with only two people.

Yang Jian.

And Li Yao slowly walked down from the second floor.

Li Yao's face was still pale, but her eyes were unusually firm.

She walked up to Yang Jian.

I didn't look at the selection screen; I just watched him quietly, waiting for his decision.

Yang Jian saved her life.

In the previous instance, if it weren't for Yang Jian, she would have long since become a puppet of the vengeful ghost.

It's Yang Jian.

This allowed her to retain a sliver of humanity amidst despair, transforming her into a being that was half-human and half-ghost.

and so.

She would have no objection to whatever Yang Jian asked her to do.

Even if it means leaving her in this terrifying world until she goes completely insane.

Yang Jian glanced at her.

This woman, whose fate was unintentionally changed, now possesses power far exceeding that of ordinary players.

"Let's go back."

He said calmly.

The real world needs a coordinate system.

One is also needed.

Someone who can handle some things for him.

Li Yao.

He is the best candidate.

"Yes."

Li Yao didn't ask why, she just nodded slightly, then stretched out her finger and tapped the "Leave" option.

A soft light enveloped her.

Before the figure completely disappeared.

She looked deeply at Yang Jian, as if she wanted to etch his image into the depths of her soul forever.

……

The real world.

Kyushu, the highest command center.

When Li Yao's figure appeared in the real-world scene on the live stream screen.

The entire command center fell into a deathly silence.

next second.

boom!

A deafening roar of cheers erupted instantly!

"She's back! She's back!"

"Li Yao is back! She survived!"

"Great! Finally, a player from our Nine Provinces has returned alive!"

All the staff jumped up from their seats in excitement, hugged each other, and celebrated this hard-won victory.

The commander-in-chief clenched his fists tightly.

His tiger-like eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared intently at the beautiful figure on the screen.

He saw far more than anyone else!

"It's not just about coming back alive..."

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, "She's half-human, half-ghost! She's returned with the power of a vengeful spirit!"

"More importantly, she is completely obedient to Yang Jian!"

This conclusion.

The entire command center was in an uproar once again!

What does this mean?

This means that Kyushu now has a "Demon Tamer" that it can control and that belongs to it!

There is a possibility that the increasingly widespread paranormal events in China may be resolved!

And all of this was caused by that man!

Yang Jian!

Although he didn't choose to return, he brought Li Yao back!

It's like this.

The gods left behind a messenger belonging to the Nine Provinces!

at the same time.

The live stream chat room was completely flooded with comments.

In the live stream room belonging to the Kyushu audience, there was an overwhelming frenzy.

"Holy crap! Goddess Yao is back! Awesome!"

"I knew it! Following Brother Jian, I'd definitely be set for life!"

"Hahaha, those guys who looked down on Kyushu, their faces are slapped now, aren't they?"

"From this day forward, who dares to say that our Kyushu is incapable? We have gods, and we have divine messengers!"

Live streams from other countries present a completely different picture.

A chorus of wails, a deathly silence.

Oh my god!

"Why? Why are the players from Kyushu returning? Where are our players?"

"That woman... the aura around her is terrifying; she's not purely human anymore!"

"Cheating! This is definitely cheating! Kyushu must have used some methods we don't know about!"

"It's over... Yang Jian alone is no match for them, and now there's another woman who can use ghostly power... The world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) is about to change completely."

Countless foreign viewers.

At that moment, I felt a deep sense of despair and fear.

Their prized technology and military prowess appear utterly pale and powerless in the face of absolute supernatural power.

And now.

This power has been firmly grasped by Kyushu.

While hundreds of millions of viewers around the world were discussing the future with mixed feelings.

An anomaly has occurred again!

A brand new line of golden text, exuding an ominous aura, appeared without warning on everyone's live stream screen.

[Announcement: All players who successfully survive the 'Hunting Hotel' instance will receive a special reward from the eerie world.]

[Reward: Contracted Ghost]

When those words appeared, the world's clamor seemed to be paused.

Everyone was stunned.

A contracted vengeful spirit?

What does this mean?

Before they could react, a more detailed explanation appeared at the bottom of the screen.

[Players can use this reward to choose a vengeful ghost in the real world as a trigger.]

[Upon successful contract formation, the player will acquire some of the ghost's abilities and become a 'Ghost Tamer'.]

[Warning: Contracting with a vengeful spirit is a gamble with your life at stake.]

[Players' life force will be rapidly depleted, and they are at risk of being devoured by vengeful spirits at any time, potentially triggering a larger-scale and more uncontrollable resurgence of supernatural phenomena in the real world!]

boom!

If Li Yao's return just now was merely like throwing a boulder into a calm lake...

So now, this announcement is like dropping a nuclear bomb!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, command centers in all countries erupted in gasps of surprise.

Command vengeful spirits!

This reward.

It's practically a tailor-made, potent remedy for the current apocalyptic crisis!

Although the side effects seem incredibly terrifying, what does the life of one player matter when the fate of the nation is at stake?

not to mention.

If they succeed, they too can possess a powerful being like Li Yao!

Then you will have the qualifications to arm wrestle with Kyushu!

"Quickly! Contact our returning players immediately!"

"At all costs! Send him to the most dangerous and haunted place in the country immediately!"

"This is our only chance! We absolutely cannot miss it!"

Emergency orders were issued from the highest command headquarters of various countries.

The nations that had been plunged into despair by the rise of Kyushu saw a glimmer of hope anew at this moment.

They also want to create their own "Ghost Tamers"!

As for the potential backlash and even greater disaster?

That's for later!

Let's get through this crisis first!

Every day we can delay is a day we can!

Those players who had just returned to reality and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the joy of being heroes instantly understood what they were about to face.

They had no choice.

The will of the nation cannot be defied.

Moreover, the power, status, and wealth that the contract with the vengeful spirit can bring are irresistible temptations for any ordinary person.

They will rise from mortals to become "gods" who hold the power of life and death!

No one can resist such a temptation.
