The Burning Death Ghost Who Loves to Think

[Burning Death Ghost]:

I was a mentally-oriented Ghost Hunter in life, someone who liked to use my brain to solve complex Supernatural Events. I definitely wouldn't have anything in common with you brutes who solve problems with brute force.

It's fine, I forgive you.

It's just an old habit, I'm still maintaining my pre-death routines. The moment I see a Game of Wits between ghosts and humans in a Supernatural Event, I instinctively put myself in the human camp.

[Burning Death Ghost]:

I'm just bored in this group, surely I can at least make a guess. Otherwise, this group would be too boring.

@Living Person Apartment

Since the President hasn't replied, it means he's tacitly agreed. My speculation on how to break the Ghost Domain begins now.

[Infinite Floors]:

Shut up, you Stupid Pig.

[Burning Death Ghost]:

First, we need to understand how a Ghost Domain comes into being. A Ghost Domain is a Special ability of high-level ghosts, using themselves as the center to pull a radius of ten li into their own domain. It's also called an "Otherworld." It's standard equipment for powerhouses like those in the Living Person Apartment.

Where does the energy that drives a Ghost Domain come from... Of course, talking about conservation of energy in a Supernatural Event might be a bit comical. Ghosts are immortal and indestructible. Once a Vengeful Ghost controls a Ghost Domain to a certain extent, it can maintain the Ghost Domain almost indefinitely, letting everyone around it sink into it forever.

Oh, sorry. I was also a Physics Doctor in my life, so I used a bit of professional terminology. I hope you people can understand.

[Ghost Infant]:

@Living Person Apartment

Can this guy be kicked out directly?

I think he's doing it on purpose.

[Burning Death Ghost]:

Since the duration of a Ghost Domain is infinite, if I were an Ordinary Person trapped inside, it would obviously be impossible to stall long enough for the Ghost Domain to dissipate on its own and escape.

But don't forget, the maintenance of a Ghost Domain requires a ghost as its center. And our dear President is currently not in the White House.

This means we can deduce a conclusion. The Ghost Domain in the White House is just a placeholder left by the President, automatically responding to external intruders. Although it can be maintained for a certain period, it can never last indefinitely like a true Ghost Domain.

In other words, if I were a living person trapped in the house, the only thing I could do is stall, stall until the Ghost Domain outside dissipates on its own, and then I can leave the White House.

Of course, this is by no means an easy task, because don't forget there are still Vengeful Ghosts roaming inside the house.

Based on my understanding of the President's strength, I estimate that the Ghost Domain he left behind will dissipate approximately ten minutes from now.

Of course, this was already an astonishing achievement. The President could unleash the reserved Ghost Domain even while not at his Old Home. In just ten minutes, an Ordinary Person could theoretically survive in the room for ten minutes and escape their Old Home.

This was no longer a certain death situation.

Under the watchful eyes of so many ghosts in the group, the Burning Death Ghost had actually figured out how to break the Ghost Domain.

There was only one word for it: drag.

Just drag it out.

Honestly, seeing that message, Gao Tian started to doubt if the Burning Death Ghost was also a living person.

What sane ghost would inexplicably interfere when other ghosts were setting up a murder, and reveal the path to survival?

[Ghost Cave]:

If I hadn't already cleaned the group once, I would truly suspect you were the living person lurking in this group.

What is your purpose for joining this group?

[Ghost Infant]:

It's fine, I'll go find him tonight.

I'll follow the Network Cable and see what exactly he is.

[Burning Death Ghost]:

@Ghost Infant

Okay, okay, welcome, beautiful lady.

Since we're already ghosts, you can't kill me, and I can't kill you. Life is so boring.

It would be my greatest fortune in three lifetimes to have a beautiful lady come and personally kill me once.

[Ghost Infant]:

You're so disgusting.

Do you have to kill him? Can't you just kick him out of this group? @Living Person Apartment

[Burning Death Ghost]:

@Ghost Cave

I was thinking, didn't the President himself say that the defenses he set up for the White House were flawless?

I'm just trying to find loopholes for the President and help him prepare for all sorts of unexpected situations in advance.

What did I do? Why am I suddenly the target of your attacks again?

Anyway, there are no living people left in this group, only Ghost Users. Didn't you already test this when you sent out the Black Packets before?

All the ghosts are watching our chat records, who would leak these secrets?

[Living Person Apartment]:

@Ghost Infant

This person cannot be kicked out for now.

Don't worry, I've verified the identity of everyone who entered the group. He is indeed a ghost, not a living person, that's beyond doubt.

He's just a bit mouthy, please bear with him a little longer. The day everything ends is just around the corner.

Gao Tian stopped watching their various disputes in the group. He had already received the most crucial hint; anything further would be just nonsense.

As long as he could hold out for ten minutes, the Ghost Domain outside would automatically dissipate.

How many minutes had passed since the Ghost Domain appeared?

Gao Tian calculated it. The Woman Face peeked in from downstairs and started killing. Then Gray Wolf was the first to be cornered and rushed out despite the blood-red sky outside. At that point, the Ghost Domain had already dragged the room they were in into the Otherworld.

At least five minutes had passed since then, meaning there were less than five minutes left until the blood-red Otherworld outside would slowly recede.

Gao Tian opened his eyes and saw a massive figure on the second floor, reflected on the Stairs, like a giant snake slowly slithering.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. Initially, there were screams and the sound of blood trickling down the Stairs. But the Woman Face was very efficient at killing. After she called out names a few times, she quickly found the remaining three people in the house and killed them one by one. At this moment, only he himself was likely left alive.

The Female Ghost had not yet retreated to the Third Floor because she could sense the presence of a living person in the house. However, after searching the entire second floor, she still couldn't find any living person, which inevitably made her a little impatient.

Lying on the first floor, Gao Tian remained motionless, still waiting for the optimal moment.

Don't rush. The more it's like this, the calmer you need to be. Moving rashly could easily attract the attention of the Woman searching upstairs.

Outside the door, the sky was still a sheet of blood-red. They were still trapped in the prison of the Ghost Domain and had not returned to the Normal World.

No.

Gao Tian suddenly heard the faint sound of footsteps shuffling across something from across a pile of junk.

Although the sound only lasted for less than two seconds before immediately stopping, Gao Tian, lying on the ground with his ear pressed against the floor, was extremely sensitive. Even such a faint sound could not escape him.

Is there still someone alive on the first floor?

Gao Tian's gaze shifted to the opposite side. This time, he finally saw it: amidst a pile of debris, something was shining. It should be a human eye. This person was hiding behind the debris, covering himself with a black cloth. His hiding spot was excellent. When the Woman Face was rampaging on the first floor earlier, she didn't conduct a floor-by-floor search and missed him.

What was that person's nickname again? Laizi? Or A Guang. Gao Tian couldn't recall immediately.

The other party also saw "Zhao Qiang" lying on the ground, pretending to be dead. The two of them were now fellow sufferers. All the brothers brought into the room had died. Perhaps only the two of them were still alive.

From behind the pile of debris and the black cloth, the hidden Henchman moved slightly. He pointed in the direction of his hand, then pointed towards the ceiling of the first floor.

Gao Tian roughly understood his meaning. He wanted to say that hiding here forever wasn't a solution. When the Woman Face returned to the first floor, she would find him sooner or later. It would be better to use the Gun he still had to charge forward and fight the Vengeful Ghost to the death in a Fish Dies Net Breaks situation.

Doing so would be certain death.

Gao Tian made a small gesture, signaling him to calm down across the living room. At the same time, he pointed towards the outside of the window, indicating for him to look at the world outside.

The sky, which was originally blood-red, the strange Otherworld where one would be instantly burned and skinned upon stepping out of the threshold, had, at some unknown time, gradually faded for the most part.

There were still a few residual blood-red clouds in the sky, but the blue sky behind them had already been revealed. The Burning Death Ghost was right. As time passed, the Ghost Domain left by Xu Yuan could not hold on for much longer and was slowly receding.

Gao Tian's gesture was also to reassure the other party. Since they were returning to the Normal World, they could survive by escaping the house when the time came.

At the same time, Gao Tian, without any change in expression, pressed a few options on his Mobile Phone and stuffed it under the side of a dilapidated sofa.

Above the Stairs, the giant shadow with a face like a round plate was slowly growing larger.

Gao Tian and the survivor hiding on the first floor knew at the same time that the Female Ghost from the second floor, after searching and finding no living people, had come down again to patrol.

Hold on. It wasn't the best time to drop the pretense yet.

Gao Tian closed his eyes again, half-lying on the ground, appearing as if he were dead.

Giggle giggle giggle...

Hearing the laughter, like an old hen, getting closer behind him, he knew the Female Ghost had arrived. The shadow cast by her massive body roamed the living room, passing by the corpses she had already killed, and began to inspect them carefully.

When she stopped at Gao Tian's body, the Female Ghost clearly paused.

Although her intelligence was not high, she found it a bit strange. Other corpses, after being hit by the Curse, were torn to pieces and looked horrific. Why was this one preserved so well, not even looking like a dead person.

The Woman Face lowered her head, her Lips clamped onto Gao Tian's collar, flipping him over and pulling him to a window with slightly better light to examine him.

"Zhao Qiang..."

"Zhao Qiang."

"Zhao Qiang!"

As if instinctively feeling that Gao Tian was not completely dead, the Female Ghost called out Zhao Qiang's name again, hoping to deliver the finishing blow.

And at this very moment, in the living room, an unexpected change occurred that neither the human nor the ghost had anticipated!
