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

Did he already know all along?

The final stop of that ghost bus leads to a place where one can become a ghost tamer.

Did he already know all along?

What are the rules and costs behind all of this?

One thought after another.

It exploded in Li Yao's mind like thunder, leaving her brain reeling.

She suddenly looked up.

Looking again at Tanaka Ichiro, who was ecstatic about gaining power, his eyes had completely changed.

If her guess is true.

Yang Jian's level has far exceeded everyone's imagination!

While the world was still in a panic over the appearance of the bizarre dungeon and struggling to survive.

He may have already grasped some of the strange nature of things, and may even have begun to use the strange rules to plan for himself!

He brought himself back.

Perhaps it's not simply about protection, but rather involves deeper considerations.

This eerie post office.

For others, it's a perilous and dangerous place with a slim chance of survival.

But for Yang Jian...

Perhaps it was just a place he already knew about, used to train the Kyushu Kneeling Demons.

I've figured that out.

Li Yao's heart, which had been heavy with the choice given to her by the higher-ups of Kyushu, suddenly had a strange realization.

The command center gave her the choice.

It's about trust.

It's also a kind of helplessness.

Because they are outsiders, the information they can see is ultimately limited.

And myself.

Although he was caught in the middle of the situation, his brief trip with Yang Jian unexpectedly allowed him to glimpse a glimpse of the truth hidden beneath the fog!

Perhaps.

This is the only chance to break the deadlock in Kyushu!

Li Yao slowly closed her eyes, completely suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

When she opened her eyes again.

All hesitation and uncertainty had vanished from those beautiful eyes.

Instead.

It was an unprecedented firmness and determination.

She has made her choice.

.........

Inside the command center, there was a deathly silence.

All eyes were on Li Yao.

Looking at her face, which had been slightly pale from hesitation, a strange determination now appeared.

She made her choice.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yao slowly took out the specially made phone that was connected to the bizarre dungeon.

Her movements were slow.

But each strike seemed to carry immense force, striking the hearts of everyone present.

No one urged them on, and no one questioned them.

At this moment.

This unique "pioneer" of Kyushu truly grasped the weighty decision-making power that belonged to her.

Li Yao took a deep breath.

Slender fingers tapped rapidly on the cold screen, transforming the words that had been brewing in her mind for a long time into a message and sending it out.

You have two choices.

"First, continue to hide, just like before, and do everything you can to survive until the end of the game."

"Second, go to the counter and take an envelope, open it, and gamble your life for a chance to become a Ghost Tamer."

The message was sent successfully.

Li Yao put down her phone, feeling as if all her strength had been drained, and leaned back in her chair.

His eyes remained fixed on the screen, waiting for a response from the other end.

……

Inside the post office.

A chilling atmosphere permeated every corner.

Qin Taotao huddled in an inconspicuous corner, like a frightened kitten, warily observing everything around her.

She heard Tanaka Ichiro's ecstatic roar after becoming a demon tamer.

The whole world was in an uproar.

Although she couldn't see, she could sense something from the suddenly burning and greedy eyes of players from other countries in this strange space.

lure.

This is an allure that could drive anyone mad.

But Qin Taotao didn't move.

She knew it very well.

The price of almost having one's life drained is not something everyone can bear.

She's the only player left in Kyushu.

She can't gamble.

We can't afford to gamble.

Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, her cell phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated slightly.

Qin Taotao froze.

Almost instinctively, he covered his pocket.

He nervously looked around.

Only after confirming that he hadn't attracted the attention of anything strange did he carefully take out his phone.

on the screen.

The text from Li Yao came clearly into her view.

For an instant.

Qin Taotao's breathing stopped.

Her pupils contracted sharply as she stared intently at the two lines of text, as if trying to etch each word into the depths of her soul.

To eke out a living, or... to gamble with one's life?

Li Yao did not give her any orders.

Instead, the choice was placed in her own hands.

Qin Taotao fell silent.

Involuntarily, images of scenes already stained with blood flashed through her mind.

Before the strange event occurred.

She once had a happy and fulfilling family.

My father is a successful businessman.

My mother is a gentle teacher.

She was a princess who was pampered since childhood and knew nothing of the hardships of life.

Her villa was always filled with laughter, and her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs were always on the dining table.

On the weekend.

Their father would drive them to the countryside for picnics.

That was her back then.

They thought this happiness would last forever.

but.

That day, everything changed.

A bizarre instance of a dungeon descended upon her city without warning.

It was a blood-red fog.

All those enveloped in it let out a piercing scream before vanishing forever.

Her home.

Right at the center of the blood mist.

She watched as her father was dragged away by a pale arm that emerged from the mist in an attempt to protect her and her mother, without even being able to utter a complete cry.

She watched as her gentle mother hid her tightly in the basement, while she herself turned and rushed out, blocking the door with her body.

It came from outside the door.

It was the sickening sound of chewing and the mother's final, relieved sob.

She was all alone.

In that dark and gloomy basement, listening to the terrifying sounds coming from the outside world, I trembled and barely clung to life.

When it's all over.

When rescuers found her, she was numb.

The once prosperous home has been turned into a desolate ruin.

The once warm and loving family.

She was the only survivor left.

She survived.

It's more painful than death.

Every time she wakes up in the middle of the night, she sees her parents' desperate yet reluctant eyes, and hears the sound of chewing that makes her soul tremble.

The seeds of hatred were sown at that moment.

She wants revenge!

She dreamed of tearing those strange things that had taken everything from her to shreds!

But she was just an ordinary person.

A weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken.

She can't do anything.

They could only suffer in endless pain and regret.

And now...

An opportunity, a chance to gain power and take revenge with her own hands, was presented to her!

To eke out a living?

She's been living a life of ignominy for far too long!

She had had enough of that despair of helplessness, that torment of watching her hatred go unpunished!

Qin Taotao's eyes changed at that moment.

All the vulnerability and fear faded from her eyes, replaced by an almost insane resolve and a chilling killing intent!

She wants revenge!

to this end.

She's willing to pay any price!

Even if it costs my own life!

Under the astonished gaze of audiences worldwide, the Kyushu girl who had been cowering in the corner, looking timid and cowardly, suddenly stood up.

She did not hesitate at all.

He walked straight to the gloomy post office counter.

On the counter.

Those ominous, tan envelopes lay there silently, like invitations to hell.

Qin Taotao reached out and picked up an envelope.

The icy touch came from my fingertips, as if I were holding a piece of ice that had never melted.

She did not hesitate.

With all his might, he ripped the envelope open!

"Sizzle—"

A piercing sound rang out.

It was as if a wound had been torn open in the hearts of all the viewers of Kyushu.

They held their breath nervously, staring intently at the screen, their hearts pounding in their throats.

Inside the envelope.

A yellowed piece of letter paper fluttered out.

Above it, written in blood-red ink, was a line of twisted small characters.

[Mission: Please personally deliver this letter to the guardhouse of the First Middle School in Jiangnan City.]

The moment Qin Taotao saw those words, she was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Jiangnan No.1 Middle School?

This place name.

It's a familiar name to anyone in the world who has ever paid attention to bizarre dungeons!

That was Yang Jian's first instance!

It was the place that showed the world what true horror and eeriness was for the first time!

Even more so...

Even Yang Jian himself dared not easily set foot in this forbidden place at the time, and even felt deep fear of certain beings within it!

Kyushu Live Room.

After a brief moment of silence, things completely erupted!

"What?! Jiangnan No.1 High School?!"

"Am I seeing things? The mission location is Jiangnan No. 1 High School?!"

"This is insane! Has this weird post office gone mad? Why would it be there?!"

"Even the legendary Yang Jian avoided that place back then. Sending a newbie player to deliver a message there? Isn't that just sending her to her death?"

"It's over...it's completely over..."

The Kyushu audience, who had just felt a glimmer of hope because of Qin Taotao's decisiveness, were instantly plunged into an ice cave, a bone-chilling cold rising from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

The difficulty of this task has exceeded everyone's expectations!

however.

Qin Taotao, who was in the middle of the situation, quickly calmed down after the initial shock.

Her gaze was dead.

The key to their doom lies in the words "guard room".

fine……

Fortunately, it was only delivered to the guardhouse, not inside the school.

The terror of Jiangnan No.1 High School.

It lies in that unknown entity within the school.

The guardhouse is located next to the school gate.

this means.

She doesn't need to actually step into that most dangerous area.

If she can find a way to get there, deliver the letter, and then leave immediately, perhaps... there is still a glimmer of hope!

Although it was still a matter of life and death.

But this seemingly insignificant difference in distance became the only light in their desperate situation!

Qin Taotao gripped the letter tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

She looked up.

He glanced at the eerie and sinister post office, his eyes showing no lingering affection whatsoever.

then.

She resolutely turned around, holding the letter that would decide her fate, and walked out of the eerie post office step by step.

They disappeared into the thick darkness outside the door.
