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

at the same time.

Command centers in other countries around the world present a completely different picture.

Sakura Country Command Center.

All the officials stared intently at the screen, their faces ashen, their eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

"Baka! This isn't fair! This is absolutely unfair!"

"Why should I?!"

"Why is it that the warriors of our Great Sakura Empire have their lifespans drained, while that girl from Kyushu is exempt?"

"Yang Jian! It's Yang Jian again!"

"That damned Kyushu guy, just who is he?!"

They thought of Tanaka Ichiro from their own country, the player who was willing to pay the ultimate price for power.

He paid a heavy price to barely survive that car accident.

But now.

Are players from Kyushu entitled to "free admission" simply because they come from the same country as Yang Jian?

This huge disparity almost drove them mad!

On the other side...

Inside the command center of the United States, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"FUCK! What is this? A loophole in the rules?"

"Analyze immediately!"

"Analyze the logic behind this immediately!"

Why would that jerk driver change the rules just because of the name "Yang Jian"?

"We invested so many resources and analyzed so much data, and the conclusion we reached is that the bizarre world is cold and ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever!"

"But now the people of Kyushu are telling us that 'face' does exist, it's just that we don't have that 'face'!"

An elderly strategic analyst with white hair covered his face in anguish.

"We were wrong...we were wrong from the very beginning."

"We have been trying to interpret this strange world with our logic and rules, but this world seems to... recognize the logic of the strong more."

"Yang Jian has become so powerful that his name itself has become a new rule!"

This moment.

The whole world was shaken by the name "Yang Jian".

They finally realized, belatedly.

While they were still struggling in the quagmire of the bizarre dungeon, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

Yang Jian.

He had long since surpassed all of them.

He has even begun to use his existence to influence the rules of the bizarre world itself!

……

In a bizarre world.

Qin Taotao's mind was still blank.

Yang Jian's people?

me?

The thought lingered in her mind, making her feel disoriented and unreal.

She was just an ordinary girl.

A survivor whose family was destroyed and who miraculously survived after a bizarre event.

The only connection between her and that godlike man was that they both came from Kyushu.

That's it.

But now.

This thin, almost negligible connection became her only lifeline at this moment.

That terrifying ghost driver.

Because of its identity as "a person from Yangjian," it gave me a break.

This feeling...

It was as if a drowning person, who had struggled in a dark quagmire for countless days and nights and was already in despair, was suddenly enveloped by a golden light that descended from the sky.

The light told her:

You no longer need to struggle, for you are protected by the gods.

Absurd, yet real.

Qin Taotao slowly raised her head.

I looked at the taxi that was still flashing a ghostly green light.

Fear still exists.

But beneath this fear, a sense of confidence she had never felt before arose.

original.

I am not fighting alone.

Behind me stood that man.

Even if he is far away.

Even if he doesn't even know I exist.

But his fame and his shadow have always protected the land.

Qin Taotao clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

She looked at the silent taxi.

The confusion and fear in his eyes are gradually fading away.

She took a deep breath.

The air, mixed with eerie ash, carried a chilling cold as it filled my lungs.

The golden light was dazzling.

But ultimately it's just protection, not power.

The road ahead.

She still needs to walk that path herself.

Qin Taotao no longer hesitated. Her eyes, tempered by despair, stared intently at the old taxi that emitted a ghostly green light.

She took a step.

Step by step, we walked forward with unwavering determination.

Every step.

It was as if she had used up all her strength.

at last.

She walked to the car door.

The cold car door handle was like a block of ice that would never melt.

The moment of touch.

A chilling aura traveled from her fingertips straight up to the top of her head.

She didn't back down and forcefully opened the car door.

"Squeak—"

A piercing scraping sound rang out clearly in this deathly silent world.

The view inside the car was completely visible.

Dim and dilapidated.

A strong smell of mold and blood mingled together and hit me.

in the driver's seat.

There was only a blurry black outline, and the driver's appearance was not visible at all. It was as if the person himself was a walking shadow.

Qin Taotao gritted her teeth and sat down inside.

The moment she sat in the back seat, the car door slammed shut automatically.

The whole world.

It felt as if I had been instantly cut off from her.

Outside the car window.

The ashes that were falling from the sky were still dancing in the air, but inside the car, there was a suffocating silence.

next second.

An indescribable, eerie aura began to rise wildly within the confined space.

The aura was cold and viscous.

It was as if countless invisible hands were caressing her skin, trying to penetrate her body.

Qin Taotao's body stiffened instantly, and the hairs on her body stood on end!

She dared not move, she dared not even breathe.

They could only watch helplessly as the taxi, without any warning, slowly started up and drove steadily into the endless darkness ahead.

……

In the real world, at the Kyushu Command Center.

The hearts of everyone.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats as the taxi started moving.

"I...I sat down!"

"Please don't let anything happen to you, Tao Tao! Please don't let anything happen to you!"

"The atmosphere in this car is too eerie. Even though the ghost driver said he wouldn't charge a fare, who knows if he might tamper with things on the way!"

Anxious murmurs rose and fell within the command center.

Li Yao's gaze was fixed intently on the screen.

Her palms were already covered in cold sweat.

Although she deduced from Yang Jian's previous experience that Ghost Driver would not harm Qin Taotao, it was still just a deduction!

In a bizarre world.

Anything can happen.

not to mention.

No one can ignore a cruel fact.

Kyushu has only one last chance.

The victory in the last bizarre dungeon, while greatly boosting morale, also depleted Kyushu's precious margin for error.

This time, we cannot afford to fail!

If Qin Taotao dies, then the survival path of Kyushu will come to an end.

as a result.

The strange phenomena native to Kyushu will experience an unprecedented and complete revival!

That would be the real end of the world!

It's a living hell for 1.4 billion people!

and so.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, they can't bear the consequences if something happens to Qin Taotao.

Every minute, every second.

For the people of Kyushu watching on screen, it was a long and agonizing ordeal.

time.

It slowly passed in deathly silence.

The taxi drove smoothly on the gray road, the scenery outside the window monotonous and repetitive.

One minute.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

Inside the car, everything remained as calm as ever.

The ghost driver, who was like a shadow, did not make any unnecessary movements from beginning to end, nor did he exude the terrifying aura of devouring life that he did when dealing with Tanaka Ichiro.

It truly kept its promise.

Seeing this scene.

The viewers at the Kyushu Command Center and in the live broadcast room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew...it seems like everything's really alright."

"Yang Jian's influence is incredible! This is practically a get-out-of-jail-free card!"

"Great! This will save us a lot of time and energy, allowing us to get directly to the mission location!"

however.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The view ahead.

But it made everyone's hearts tighten once again.

At the edge of an endless gray world, a darkness so thick it seemed impenetrable appeared.

It was a strange black mist.

Like a gigantic black dome, it completely enveloped a large area in front of them.

From the outside.

You can't see a single thing inside.

One could only sense an aura, colder and more terrifying than the surrounding environment, seeping out from the black mist.

It was as if behind that black mist.

It connects to another, even more desperate abyss.

Jiangnan No.1 High School!

We've arrived at the mission's destination!

"squeak--"

The eerie taxi slowly came to a stop at the edge of the black fog.

The car door opened automatically in response.

It was at this time that...

That flat, hoarse voice, devoid of any emotion, once again echoed in Qin Taotao's ears.

"The things in here are supernatural fragments that guy dismembered; they're terrifying."

boom!

These words left Qin Taotao's mind completely blank!

That guy?

Ghostly fragments dismembered?

What exactly is that guy?

This news.

Absolutely stunning!

Before she could recover from her shock, the ghost driver's voice continued.

"However, as long as you don't violate the rule that guarantees a kill, you won't encounter any danger."

"Good luck, little girl."

The words fell.

The ghost driver didn't say another word, nor did he charge any fees.

The old taxi slowly started moving again.

Turn the car around.

It simply blended into the gray world behind it and disappeared.

Only Qin Taotao was left behind.

He stood alone before that black mist, which resembled the gaping maw of an abyss.

……

When they saw that the ghost driver not only delivered the goods for free, but also proactively revealed such crucial information.

The live streams around the world went completely wild!

Especially in the live streams from Japan, countless viewers were completely devastated after witnessing this scene!

Feelings of jealousy, anger, and resentment.

It erupted like a volcano, instantly engulfing the entire barrage of comments!

"Baka yarou! This isn't fair! This is definitely cheating!"

"On what grounds? On what grounds is this?!"

"Our great Sakura Empire's Tanaka-kun sacrificed most of his lifespan for this one chance to ride it!"

"And this woman from Kyushu not only got it for free, but that damn thing even gave her hints?"

"What's this?"

"Are the rules of this bizarre world tailor-made for the people of Kyushu?"

"protest!"

"We strongly protest this unfair treatment!"

"Yang Jian!"

"It's that damned Yang Jian again! What gives him the right to influence the rules of the instance?!"

"Damn it!"

"Watching that Kyushu woman enjoy the 'information' that Tanaka-kun risked his life for, I feel like my lungs are about to explode with rage!"

"Kill her!"

"You ghost inside, kill her now!"

"Let her know that privilege is worthless in the face of true terror!"

A 300-character comment.

Every word was filled with resentment and curses.

They cannot accept it.

Why do players from Kyushu receive such drastically different treatment when they both enter the Ghost Post Office?

at the same time.

In a bizarre world.

Qin Taotao stood before that terrifying black mist, remaining motionless for a long time.

The ghost driver's words.

It still echoed in her mind.

"As long as you don't break the rules that will kill you, you won't encounter any danger."

This sentence.

This was the only guiding principle for her next actions, and her only chance of survival!

She gripped the cold envelope in her hand tightly; it was her only proof of entry and her only mission tool.

She looked up.

Looking at the outline of the school gate, faintly visible beneath the black mist.

The guardhouse is right next to the main gate.

Although the guardhouse seems very close to the school gate, once you step into that black fog, it's equivalent to stepping into the campus.

Inside.

They could be attacked by that terrifying monster at any moment.

and so.

We must be extremely cautious.

Qin Taotao took a deep breath, finally mustered all her courage, and stepped into the thick black fog!

hum!

The moment I stepped in.

An extremely terrifying atmosphere swept over us from all directions like a tidal wave!

Suppressed!

Extreme repression!

It felt as if the weight of the entire world was pressing down on her, making it difficult for her to breathe.

This is the ghost realm of the knocking ghost!

A terrifying realm capable of driving living people insane!

Qin Taotao's face turned deathly pale instantly.

But she remembered the ghost driver's words vividly.

As long as you don't violate the rules that guarantee a kill, you won't die!

She forced herself to calm down.

He walked cautiously with each step, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily, not daring to relax for a moment.

however.

Right at that moment!

"Ring ring—ring ring—"

A sudden cell phone ringtone rang out without warning in this deathly silent ghost realm!

The sound was sharp and piercing.

It was a deadly, demonic sound that made Qin Taotao's heart leap!

She instinctively stopped and took her phone out of her pocket.

on the screen.

It shows an unknown number.

But before she could do anything, the call was automatically connected, and then a strange audio message was played directly from the receiver!

"Thump...thump thump..."

"Thump...thump thump..."
