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

"Help...help me..."

He managed to squeeze out two words and reached out his hand to his companion for help.

However, no one dared to step forward.

Everyone was so frightened by this bizarre scene that they froze in place.

next second.

The soldier's struggle came to an abrupt end.

His body stiffened, and his outstretched hand fell limply to his sides.

The sparkle in his eyes.

It vanished as quickly as the tide receded, replaced by a deathly still gray-white.

Followed by.

His "dead" body slowly straightened up again in an extremely eerie posture.

He turned his head.

He looked at his companion with those emotionless, grayish-white eyes.

"Da da da da da!"

His comrade-in-arms finally realized what was happening and instinctively pulled the trigger.

Raging flames.

It instantly devoured that strange body.

Bullets pierced his body, leaving bloody, mangled holes.

But he.

As if she felt no pain at all, she continued to walk towards the crowd with stiff steps.

"Fire! Fire at will!"

The officer's roar shattered the silence.

A barrage of gunfire instantly echoed across the entire beach.

More soldiers became the targets of "Sea Tide".

One by one, they repeated the bizarre "drowning" process of the first victim, then turned into walking corpses, turned their guns on their former comrades.

panic.

It spread through the ranks like a plague.

Eric stood in the center of the crowd, looking at the hellish scene before him, and felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

This is the "tide"!

A vengeful ghost that cannot be seen, touched, or even comprehended, how it kills people!

An invisible wave is constantly sweeping in.

They are reaping one vibrant life after another.

He could feel that cold, desperate aura getting closer and closer, as if it would completely engulf him in the next second.

Can't wait any longer!

A resolute glint flashed in Eric's eyes.

He closed his eyes and screamed wildly in his heart.

contract!

I want to use that reward!

The moment that thought arose, a piece of information that did not belong to him appeared out of thin air in his mind.

That's neither language nor writing.

It's an instinct, a method.

How to use your life as bait to catch a vengeful ghost!

He suddenly opened his eyes.

It let out a beastly roar at the churning thick fog.

"come out!"

"I'm here! Come and devour me!"

He completely unleashed his spirit, releasing his life force like a beacon in the darkness, without reservation.

For vengeful ghosts.

The vitality of a living person is the most delicious delicacy.

And Eric's actions at this moment.

It's like throwing a top-quality steak into a pack of hungry wolves.

boom!

The entire black sand beach seemed to tremble at that moment.

That originally formless and intangible chilling aura instantly became violent.

The dense fog churned and gathered at an unprecedented speed, as if it were drawn by some deadly force.

Eric sensed it.

An indescribable, terrifying will locked onto him.

It was a pure collection of malice, driven only by the instinct to devour and drown.

It is coming!

It was freezing cold! Bone-chillingly cold!

It felt as if I had instantly fallen into an ancient ice cave, where even my soul was frozen.

Eric's consciousness began to fade.

He felt himself sinking, falling into a deep sea devoid of light and sound, filled only with endless cold and despair.

Is this what it feels like to be possessed by a vengeful ghost?

He is going to die.

Just as his consciousness was about to be completely submerged.

The golden text from the strange world in his mind suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

That light.

It transformed into an invisible shackle, a chain of rules!

This is both a "reward" and a "contract"!

It allowed the vengeful spirit to devour Eric's life force.

But in exchange.

Even the vengeful spirit must be bound by this shackle and become a part of Eric!

"Put yourself...in slumber!"

With his last ounce of strength, Eric let out a final roar from the depths of his soul!

That invisible shackle tightened suddenly!

"Waaah—"

A piercing, otherworldly scream exploded in everyone's minds.

The terrifying aura that seemed to freeze everything dissipated rapidly, like a punctured balloon.

The rolling thick fog gradually subsided.

The manipulated soldiers' corpses also fell to the ground with a "thump thump," turning back into real corpses.

The entire Vik black sand beach.

That suffocating sense of oppression disappeared.

Everything returned to calm.

The surviving soldiers stared in shock at Eric standing in the center of the arena.

He stood there quietly.

His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his body was swaying precariously due to the excessive loss of vitality.

But he...

In the end, I still stood up.

He slowly raised his hand and opened his palm.

Wisps of black water vapor gathered in his palm out of thin air, eventually condensing into a constantly spinning black water sphere.

Inside the water sphere.

It seemed to reflect a deep, cold ocean filled with the aura of death.

He succeeded.

He mastered the vengeful spirit named "Tide" and gained its power.

From this moment on...

He is no longer an ordinary person, Eric.

He is from the Ice Kingdom.

The only demon tamer!

........

........

The moment Eric harnessed the vengeful spirit.

The suffocating eeriness of Vik Black Beach receded like the tide.

All the visions.

Everything vanished in that instant.

The sky remained the same gloomy sky, and the beach remained the same pitch-black beach.

But for those who survived...

Everything here is completely different from what it was just now.

The air is no longer icy cold.

The wind no longer carries the desperate wails.

The surviving soldiers dropped their guns, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for breath of the hard-won, salty, fresh air.

Their chests heaved violently.

It was as if they wanted to vomit out all the fear they had just endured.

live!

They're still alive!

In everyone's eyes shone the ecstasy and relief of surviving a catastrophe.

What I just witnessed was too terrifying, too hopeless.

That was a force that no human could withstand. In the face of those invisible vengeful spirits, their supposedly advanced modern weapons were as fragile as children's toys.

When fighting against vengeful ghosts, there is no choice but death!

But now.

everything is over.

All eyes were focused on that swaying figure, yet still standing firm.

Eric!

Their heroes!

It's him.

With the body of a mortal, he commanded a terrifying and monstrous ghost!

Starting today.

The Ice Kingdom has also acquired its own power to fight against the strange forces!

"We...we won!"

I don't know who it is.

He uttered the first sound in a hoarse voice.

next moment.

Emotions suppressed to the extreme erupted like a volcano!

"We won! We won!"

"We won!"

The soldiers leaped to their feet.

He threw his weapon into the air, celebrating with all his might, roaring and releasing his inner excitement.

at the same time.

Ice Kingdom, the highest command center.

On the huge screen.

The video clearly shows everything that happened on Vik Black Beach.

When the command center saw the black water sphere in Eric's palm, it fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, thunderous cheers erupted!

"It's a success!"

"He really succeeded!"

"My God! Our Ice Kingdom finally has its own Demon Tamers!"

Every one of you here is a high-ranking figure in the Kingdom of Iceland.

At this moment, they were like children, their faces flushed with excitement, and some even shed hot tears.

They knew all too well what this meant.

this means.

In the midst of that bizarre wave destined to sweep the globe in the future, their Ice Kingdom possesses a crucial trump card!

One.

The trump card that can protect their country!

This kind of situation is not unique to Iceland.

In another corner of the world.

Luo Guo.

Deep in the Siberian permafrost lies a long-abandoned heavy industrial factory.

Here.

Another hellish scene is unfolding.

Above the factory.

Enveloped in an eerie orange-red hue, the air distorted, as if about to be ignited.

The entire factory was transformed into a gigantic furnace.

Fiery hot!

Unbelievably hot!

This is no ordinary flame, but a strange fire originating from a vengeful ghost.

It doesn't burn matter, it burns life!

"ah--!"

A Romanian soldier let out a piercing scream.

His body.

It burned from the inside out without any source of ignition.

Orange-red flames.

It first emerged from his seven orifices, and in just two seconds, it engulfed him completely.

At last.

Not even a trace of ash remained.

They simply vanished from the world.

Panic spread through the ranks.

"Fire! Shoot that bastard!"

A commander's eyes widened in fury.

He roared as he pointed at the distorted, heat-wave-formed, blurry humanoid figure in the center of the factory.

"Da da da da da!"

The heavy machine gun spat out a furious tongue of fire, and countless bullets formed a metallic storm that swept towards the humanoid figure.

however.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

Those bullets, powerful enough to tear through steel plates, turned bright red the moment they approached within ten meters of the humanoid figure, and then... melted!

Yes.

In mid-air, it turned into pools of molten iron, which dripped to the ground.

It was impossible to cause any harm to that vengeful ghost!

"Fire extinguishing grenades! Use fire extinguishing grenades now!"

Several soldiers rushed up carrying specially made fire extinguishing equipment and pressed the switch.

"laugh--"

A large amount of white dry ice foam gushed out, covering the vengeful spirit formed from flames.

But the result was even more despairing.

The dry ice, capable of freezing everything instantly, was instantly evaporated the moment it came into contact with that high-temperature area, leaving not a trace of moisture behind.

The power of the fiery demon far exceeded their imagination!

despair.

It weighed heavily on the minds of every soldier in the Kingdom of Luo.

They watched helplessly as their comrades, one by one, were ignited by an invisible flame and reduced to nothingness.

Just then.

A burly man, as large as a brown bear, stepped out from the group.

Ivan.

The person in charge of Luo Guo's operation was also one of the players who survived from that strange hotel.

He looked at the scene before him, which resembled a living hell.

There was no fear in his eyes.

Only the cold and resolute chill of a Siberian blizzard.

he knows.

Conventional weapons were ineffective against this vengeful ghost codenamed "Burning".

There is only one way to deal with a vengeful ghost.

That is... becoming a vengeful ghost!

Ivan closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them again!

In his mind.

The message from that strange world, the contract made at the cost of life, clearly emerged.

"bring it on!"

He spread his arms wide and roared like a wild beast at the twisted flame in the center of the factory.

"I'm here!"

"Your offering has arrived!"

He completely opened his mind and released his life force.

In that instant, he no longer suppressed or hid.

His vigorous life force, as powerful as strong liquor, shone brightly in this desolate and hopeless factory, like a rising sun!

For a vengeful ghost, this is an irresistible temptation!

boom!

It was as if they sensed Ivan's provocation.

For the first time, the fiery demon composed of heat waves made a noticeable movement.

Its blurry "head" slowly turned toward Ivan.

An indescribable feeling.

A will filled with tyranny and destructive desires instantly locked onto Ivan!

coming!

Ivan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He felt as if he had been thrown into the crater of an erupting volcano!

heat!

A heat hot enough to melt your soul!

His skin.

It turned bright red and cracked in an instant, as if it were about to burst into flames.

His breathing.

It became incredibly difficult; each breath felt like swallowing a scalding hot knife.

Consciousness began to fade.

In his spiritual world, he saw an endless sea of ​​fire.

He saw countless people struggling and wailing in the sea of ​​fire, eventually turning to ashes.

That was the collection of all the lives that this vengeful ghost had "burned" since its birth.

That immense negative emotion, filled with pain and resentment, surged towards Ivan's will like a tsunami.

We must make him one of those caught in this sea of ​​fire!

"No!"

Ivan's will was like a piece of cold iron that would never melt.

No matter how fiercely the flames burned, no matter how intensely the negative emotions surged, he clung to his last shred of clarity.

He is going to die.

He could feel his life force being frantically devoured and drained by that vengeful ghost.

Just as his consciousness was about to be completely burned to ashes.

The golden text from that strange world burst forth with unprecedented brilliance from the depths of his soul!

The light transformed into a chain of rules!

A contract that costs lives and is anchored to the soul!

The vengeful spirit can devour his life.

But as a price, it must also be bound by this contract!

Become part of Ivan's power!

"Turn it off!"

Ivan used his last and strongest willpower to unleash a deafening roar on the level of his soul!

The golden chain tightened suddenly, imprinting itself fiercely onto the core of the fiery demon!

"hiss--!"

A sharp screech, unlike anything human, but more like the sound of molten steel, echoed in everyone's minds.

Followed by.

That enveloped the entire factory.

The terrifying heat, which was almost igniting the heavens and the earth, was rapidly contracting inward as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand!

The distorted air returned to normal.

The orange-red sky returned to its original color.

Those who are being manipulated.

The eerie flames, powerful enough to incinerate everything, were all extinguished.

All the suffocating oppression disappeared.

The surviving Romanian soldiers stared in disbelief at Ivan standing in the center of the arena.

His entire body was charred black.

His skin was covered with burn marks, and he looked as if he had just been dragged out of a fire.

But he remained standing.

He stood there, like a javelin!

He slowly raised his hand.

A wisp of orange-red flame suddenly ignited in his palm.

The flame had no temperature whatsoever, yet it seemed capable of burning everything.

He succeeded.

He controlled this vengeful ghost codenamed "Burning".

From this moment on...

He, Ivan, is the most powerful and unshakeable guardian of the Kingdom of Luo!

……

All the players who survived from that eerie hotel received this "reward" from the eerie world.

they.

He risked his life to control the resurrected evil spirits within his own country.

They became demon tamers, capable of wielding bizarre powers!

When faced with the unfathomable and bizarre resurgence of the future, humanity is no longer a helpless lamb!

An era belonging to demon tamers has quietly begun across the world.

at the same time.

Kyushu.

A city street under strict control.

This is where all the Kyushu players were transported into the strange world.

now.

The streets were deserted, except for a large number of staff and special forces stationed on the outskirts.

Everyone's face showed a mixture of tension and anticipation.

They are waiting.

Waiting for that person to return.

Li Yao!

Inside the command center.

An elderly man with white hair was staring intently at the screen, muttering to himself.

"Eric of the Ice Kingdom has mastered the 'Tides' and gained the ability to control the waters of death."

"Ivan of the Kingdom of Luo has mastered 'Incineration' and become the embodiment of flames."

"These ordinary players, who only controlled a single vengeful spirit, have already gained such immense power."

"What about Li Yao?"

The old man's eyes gleamed with an intensely burning light.

"As a unique being who is half-human and half-ghost, and having signed a contract with the mysterious 'Yang Jian,' just how terrifying must her potential be?"

No one can answer this question.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment the mystery would be revealed.

suddenly!

Without warning, the screen went dark.

No, it didn't get dark.

Instead, it was shrouded in a pure, profound darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light!

"She's back!"

Inside the command center, someone gasped in shock.

In the center of the controlled street, a slender figure appeared out of thin air.

Li Yao.

She stood there quietly, wearing a black trench coat, her face aloof.

And she is the center.

Everything within a radius of fifty meters was plunged into complete darkness.

That was no ordinary darkness.

In that darkness.

The light was distorted, the sound was swallowed up, and the space itself seemed to be subtly changing.

Ghostland!

This is the power of a vengeful ghost!

Its mere presence creates a ghostly realm that isolates it from reality!

This is Li Yao's current strength!

The outskirts of the street.

The staff, who were already prepared, immediately stepped forward.

Instead of rushing into the darkness, they stopped at the edge and revealed their identities.

"Ms. Li Yao, welcome back! We are the Kyushu Headquarters Special Operations Team!"

I heard a familiar voice.

A slight ripple appeared in Li Yao's icy eyes.

She looked up.

The next second, the deep darkness that shrouded the street seemed to come alive, rapidly swirling back.

In the end, it all entered her body.

Sunlight once again bathed the streets.

It was as if that chilling scene had never happened.

Several staff members quickly stepped forward and gave Li Yao a brief salute.

Then.

He explained to her in detail what was happening around the world and the "reward" from that strange world.

"...In other words, according to our analysis, this reward will give all surviving players a chance to control a vengeful spirit."

One of the people in charge looked at Li Yao and said in an extremely solemn tone.

"But you, Comrade Li Yao, your situation is different from everyone else's!"

"You already possess the power of a vengeful spirit. If you were to control a completely new vengeful spirit..."

"Then, it's possible to achieve a perfect balance within your body!"

The voice of the person in charge.

With a hint of barely suppressed excitement.

"Two vengeful spirits, two completely different rules, are fighting and restricting each other within your body, eventually reaching a stable state similar to a computer crashing!"

"Balance system crashed!"

"If successful, the risk of the vengeful spirit resurrecting within you will be minimized! Far lower than that of any other ghost tamer in other countries!"

"At that time, you will become the most stable and most powerful demon tamer in the world!"

This is not just idle talk.

Li Yao already possessed strange abilities from the bizarre world.

This is what gives her an edge over others.

If we can form a contract with a vengeful spirit that can balance each other through a strange and mutually restraining rule, we can achieve a rule-based deadlock!

of course.

Finding a vengeful ghost that is the opposite of oneself is very difficult.

because.

There aren't that many bizarre events recurring in the real world; otherwise, the real world would have long since become a living hell!

but!

Fortunately, the situation in Kyushu is not in this category!

Before Su Qiaoqiao entered the bizarre instance, Kyushu only had one last chance left!

In other words.

Prior to this, Kyushu had experienced several bizarre resurrections!

The number of vengeful spirits in Kyushu is definitely the largest and most concentrated in the world. Finding a vengeful spirit that meets Li Yao's requirements here is much easier than in other countries!

If successful!

The possibility of Li Yao's bizarre resurrection will be greatly reduced, and she can also possess the abilities of two kinds of vengeful ghosts at the same time!

she,

He is a god who truly transcends this world!

The situation in Kyushu will change dramatically at this moment!
