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

The real world.

Global live stream.

The moment I saw the eerie flames engulf Jack.

Audiences around the world were stunned.

The live stream chat in the Maple Leaf Country, which had just been cheering for "Hero" Jack, suddenly froze.

Followed by.

It erupted completely, like a landslide and a tsunami!

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

WTF?!

[What happened?! I'm stunned! How did Jack suddenly catch fire?!]

[I'm devastated! What's going on?]

One second he's a hero saving the world, the next he's cremated on the spot? This script doesn't seem right!

[No! Don't scare me! Jack didn't trigger any rules! He kept avoiding those footprints! He didn't even speak loudly! Why is this happening?!]

This fire... it's the same kind of fire from a fireplace! Exactly the same! Could it be... there's something wrong with the fireplace?

[Impossible! Absolutely impossible!]

[Isn't a fireplace a support item? Even Yang Jian, the great god of Kyushu, used it, so why are they unharmed?]

【Yes! That doesn't make any sense at all!】

Jack followed the instructions; he didn't do anything wrong! Why is this happening? This isn't fair! This is a fucking bug!

[Oh my god...that looks so painful!]

Jack is rolling around on the ground, it's so pitiful! Someone please help him!

This game is so damn hopeless!

[They gave you hope, and then, when you were happiest, they extinguished it in an even more cruel way! I feel like throwing up!]

Wait a minute! Have you considered this possibility... that this wall itself is a double-edged sword?

What do you mean? The person upstairs should explain more clearly!

[I...I'm just guessing...Its ability to detect ghosts is its "advantage," but using it, could there also be "disadvantages" we don't know about?]

This comment.

This caused the hearts of countless viewers to sink suddenly.

at the same time.

Maple Leaf Country: The highest command center for bizarre events.

"No! No—!"

The commander-in-chief, watching the figure engulfed in flames and writhing in agony on the ground in the live broadcast, let out a desperate roar.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant.

All the staff around him were also ashen-faced, standing stiffly in place, their eyes filled with disbelief, panic, and anger.

How could this happen?

Why is this happening?!

Their hero, their hope, Jack!

They are being burned alive by a force they cannot comprehend at all!

If Jack dies.

Then their Maple Leaf Country's challenge in this global survival game will be a complete failure!

"The reason! Find me the reason right now!!"

The commander-in-chief slammed his fist on the table, his bloodshot eyes fixed on all the analysts in front of him, and roared hoarsely.

"Analyze every frame of the video footage of him from the moment he entered the hotel! Quickly!!"

"What rules did he break that we don't know about?!"

The order has been issued.

The entire command center instantly fell into a state of extreme tension and frantic operation.

All the technicians were frantically replaying the video footage and analyzing every detail.

time.

Second by second passed.

In the live stream footage.

Jack's screams were growing weaker and weaker.

The atmosphere in the command center was extremely tense.

at last.

A young analyst suddenly stood up, his face ashen, and said in a trembling voice.

"General...we've found him..."

"From beginning to end... Jack didn't violate any known rules of death."

"The only thing he ever did... that's uncertain is..."

The analyst swallowed hard and pointed to a picture on the screen.

"...the fireplace in the room was lit."

boom!

This sentence.

The commander-in-chief's mind went completely blank for a moment.

fireplace……

Fireplace again!

Ultimately, the truth pointed to that damned fireplace!

"The burning fireplace can illuminate the tracks of vengeful spirits..."

The commander-in-chief muttered to himself, a chilling glint and...regret flashing in his cloudy eyes.

"Then... could it... also attract vengeful ghosts?!"

this problem.

This deadly possibility.

In their initial elation at receiving the intelligence, they had no idea what was going on!

They only saw the "benefits" of the fireplace, but completely ignored the potentially fatal "drawbacks" hidden behind it!

They personally pushed their survivors into the abyss!

"No... there's still a chance!"

The commander-in-chief suddenly raised his head and stared intently at the live broadcast screen.

"The fire hasn't completely burned him to death yet! He still has a chance! As long as he can find a way to put out the flames on his body..."

however.

His words hadn't even finished.

An even more terrifying scene unfolded.

In the live broadcast footage.

Not far from Jack, at the door of another room.

A white woman who had just shared information with her neighbor and was about to turn around and go back to her room suddenly froze.

next second.

"call!"

A cluster of identical, eerie blue flames suddenly erupted from beneath her feet!

"ah--!!!"

A piercing scream echoed throughout the corridor!

the second!

The second player to be set ablaze has appeared!

Followed by.

The third one!

The fourth one!

The fifth one!

……

In a short time.

The entire corridor on the first floor of the hotel seemed to have turned into a living hell!

Those players who lit the fireplace in the room immediately after receiving the intelligence and did not extinguish it before leaving the room...

At this moment.

Without exception.

They all suffered indiscriminate attacks from the "Furnace Demon"!

A ghostly blue flame.

One by one, lights came on in the dimly lit corridor.

Like a series of death warrants!

One vibrant life after another was dragged into the flames of death!

The entire hallway.

Instantly, it was drowned out by the rising and falling, heart-wrenching cries for help.

Those players who hadn't yet lit the fireplace out of caution or timidity cautiously opened the door after hearing the screams outside.

When they saw the hellish scene in the corridor.

They were all terrified, their scalps tingling and their souls nearly leaving their bodies!

They didn't dare stay there for even a second longer.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

They used all their strength to slam the door shut and lock it tightly!

That tragic wailing and despair were kept outside the door.

The entire first floor.

Deathly silence fell once again.

Only those engulfed in flames remained, rolling futilely on the ground, uttering faint, mournful cries in the final stages of their lives.

Seeing this scene.

The entire world watching the live stream went crazy!

Bullet comments.

Like a flood bursting its banks, it completely submerged the entire screen!

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What on earth is going on?! Why is this happening?!]

[The whole team wiped out? Is this a sign of total annihilation?! Has something happened to everyone who lit the fireplace?]

【No! No!】

[Players from the Nine Provinces Kingdom also lit their fireplaces! Why weren't Yang Jian and Li Yao hurt?!]

[Yeah! They were the first to light the fireplace! Why are they unharmed?! That doesn't make sense!]

【I know! I finally know!】

[You guys should go watch the replay of Kyushu!]

Before leaving the room, the great master Yang Jian extinguished the fire in the fireplace!

Holy crap! Is this for real?!

[It's true! I just saw it! They put out the fire! So they weren't attacked! And those players who got burned... none of them put out their stoves!]

I understand! I completely understand!

[Leaving the fire burning is like establishing a continuous connection with a ghost! When you leave the room, this connection will trigger a curse! You will be burned by the ghost fire!]

【Oh My God!】

So, this fireplace is truly a double-edged sword! It can help you, or it can kill you!

This rule is so insidious!

[The hint only told half the story! The other half is a complete trap!]

This is so tragic... so incredibly tragic...

In the live stream room.

The hearts of countless viewers were gripped with anxiety.

They watched helplessly as the players, consumed by flames, walked towards the end of their lives in despair.
