"Luo Suyī, try to avoid being directly confronted by that ghost. The ghost's killing behavior started after it turned around and came back from the corridor. It didn't happen before. In other words, the ghost's killing pattern is hidden within that, and during this time, the only changes in the ghost's behavior were its location and line of sight."

"Changing the location might help."

Yang Jian continued to have Luo Suyī try, with Xiong Wenwen predicting the outcome.

Luo Suyī and did as he was told, without looking back at the ghost hidden in the dark corridor behind him.

But the result was suffocating.

"It was no use, he still died." Xiong Wenwen stated the outcome of his death.

Location is not the key factor.

"Could it be a vision? We were seen by that ghost before, so..." Luo Suyī was becoming increasingly terrified.

Yang Jian, "Impossible. It must be related to the ghost's turn. Xiong Wenwen foresaw the future, and we didn't die in that future, which means we are safe. The beginning of our death started after the ghost turned."

"And there was a very obvious movement when that ghost was killing people: it stopped."

"Do you remember the first time you saw that ghost? It was the same thing, it just suddenly stood there, completely still, in a very eerie way. I didn't understand it then, but now I do."

"The ghost stopped because someone met the criteria. In other words, the ghost stopped to kill someone, not just standing there for no reason. It was the same this time. The ghost turned around and walked towards us, then stopped. Then Xiong Wenwen was attacked, and five minutes later you were killed, followed by Lin Luomei."

Yang Jian's eyes flickered; he knew he was very close to the truth.

But the closer you get to the truth, the harder it becomes to determine the ghost's killing patterns.

There are far too few conditions that meet the criteria.

Walking, turning around, stopping, killing. Only four actions, as simple as it gets.

Even if you analyze each condition one by one, you will find that none of the conditions match the current ghost's killing pattern.

"No, there's a crucial prerequisite for this ghost to start killing: it suddenly and eerily stops while wandering around. The moment it stops means that a person has been targeted by the ghost. If I can't figure out the ghost's killing pattern, then there's only one way: stop the ghost from continuing to walk, or stop the ghost from stopping."

However, achieving this is extremely difficult.

It has almost reached the point of restraining that demon, which means direct contact is inevitable.

Direct contact with such a terrifying ghost is extremely dangerous.

It's true that ghosts kill according to certain rules, but Yang Jian also knows that once you come into direct contact with a ghost, the ghost's own strangeness will override these rules. Since he is also Ghost Tamer, once a ghost suppresses you, you will be powerless against it.

If the Ghost Tamer's own demon is suppressed, then their life will become extremely fragile.

Therefore, when facing a demon, you can avoid being killed, but it is extremely difficult to restrain a demon.

"Yang Jian, there are only two minutes left. Time is running out." Luo Suyī glanced at his watch again and saw that he was about to die in just two minutes. He was trembling all over.

"I know time is of the essence. Can't you see I'm working hard to analyze this?" Yang Jian said in a deep voice. "I don't want to see you die here either, otherwise, if the ghosts inside you revive, it won't do me any good either."

"If all else fails, I'll have to resort to drastic measures."

He touched the old straw rope tied around his wrist.

If you try to tie the ghost's legs with a ghost rope to stop it from walking, perhaps the situation will change.

"Xiong Wenwen, let's see if my operation will be successful this time," Yang Jian said, holding the ghost rope.

He doesn't need to take action; he only needs to prepare for it. Xiong Wenwen will see the results immediately, which will minimize the risk of casualties from a failed operation.

Xiong Wenwen's face grew paler and paler. For him, every time he foresaw the future, it was a stimulus to awaken the ghost within his body, after all, he had only controlled one ghost.

But there's no time to worry about that now.

Xiong Wenwen's small face showed struggle and fear. "No, don't go, don't go! I saw you die, you died at that ghost's feet, your head fell to the ground, and the rope in your hand broke."

"What?" Yang Jian's eyes narrowed.

Did he die, and the ghost rope break?

This, this is impossible.

He had perfectly mastered the headless ghost, and could use the ghost's abilities almost without limit. Yet, he still died under these circumstances, and even the ghost rope broke.

Although I know that directly contacting a vengeful ghost is very risky, this outcome is just too terrible.

"Is that the rusty woodcutter's knife?" Yang Jian then stared at the tall male corpse in the distance in the corridor.

Especially the broken, unusable knife in his hand.

The ghost rope broke; it must have been cut by that knife.

"One minute left, I'm going to die in one minute, Yang Jian, please, please think of a way to save me, please." Luo Suyī was so scared that he was almost crying. He was covered in sweat and his whole body was trembling.

With death looming, no one knows the immense pressure and fear he endured.

"I know, calm down, I'll think of something." Yang Jian was also anxious at this moment.

With Luo Suyī dead right before their eyes, the situation here will become extremely complicated once again.

And at this moment.

In Yang Jian's Ghost Eye vision, the tall male corpse standing not far away in the corridor suddenly started moving again.

With heavy steps, dragging its stiff body that reeked of death, it walked step by step toward this place.

At that speed, this ghost couldn't even outrun a three-year-old child.

But this ghost doesn't need to chase after a person to kill them; as long as the conditions are met, it will stop and swing its machete.

This slash is an unsolvable, fatal blow. So far, apart from using a single ghost candle to withstand it, Yang Jian cannot imagine any other way to withstand this terrifying attack.

"We can't stop this ghost's actions, nor can we risk approaching it. As for taking this thing into the Ghost Domain, that's definitely out of the question. Even the Door-Knocking Ghost's Ghost Domain can't take this thing away, so mine certainly can't. Based on my previous deduction, this ghost is going to kill Luo Suyī, and it will stop in a minute and then swing its knife."

"Damn it, why was Luo Suyī attacked in the last minute? Even if it was Door-Knocking Ghost, there should at least be some strange knocking sound, right?"

Yang Jian was still staring intently at the ghost in the distance.

Every move was clearly observed.

But every movement of that ghost was perfectly normal, with absolutely nothing suspicious about it. Under such circumstances, there was no reason not to pay attention.

No, there must be something I've overlooked, there must be.

This ghost couldn't have chosen to kill Luo Suyī for no reason, just like its attack on Xiong Wenwen earlier; it definitely wasn't a random choice.

Yang Jian opened his two Ghost Eye this time.

Three Ghost Eye stared at the walking corpse in the distance.

It seemed as if it wanted to observe everything from every angle.

It's no longer realistic for Ghost Tamer to fight this ghost head-on; getting close to it would kill even themselves, let alone anyone else.

"Twenty seconds, it'll be 2:15 in twenty seconds. Yang Jian is going to die either way. I'll go and fight that ghost. At worst, the vengeful spirit will revive. If this continues, I'm doomed." Luo Suyī this moment. He was almost driven crazy and wanted to take a gamble in this desperate situation.

Perhaps by risking the resurrection of the vengeful ghost, I can stop it.

"Shut up! Even I died in Xiong Wenwen's premonition. Can you handle it? Don't be stupid. Fighting a ghost? How many lives do you have to risk? It doesn't matter if you die, but if your vengeful ghost revives, we'll all be doomed here." Yang Jian grabbed his collar and growled.

"I already have a headache dealing with just one ghost, let alone having to collect your corpse. If you're going to die, I'll take care of you first and send you to a depth of 10,000 meters underground, so that your vengeful ghost can't affect me when it revives."

"But I don't want to wait here to die," Luo Suyī cried out.

He was on the verge of a breakdown.

There are only ten seconds left.

"I know, let's try one last time, and I won't try to predict the future. I'll see if I can intervene in that ghost using physical means." Yang Jian gritted his teeth and decided to use the simplest method.

Find a way to trip that ghost.

There's no need to use the Ghost Domain or anything special.

Without saying a word, he immediately grabbed the carpet from the floor.

The carpet in the hallway was a continuous strip; I was at one end of the carpet, while the ghost was walking along the other end.

After controlling the headless ghost, Yang Jian's strength had become extraordinary. He grabbed the carpet and pulled hard, trying to knock the ghost down.

As long as it doesn't move, it can prevent it from killing Luo Suyī.

The carpet beneath their feet suddenly jolted, and a normal person would definitely fall to the ground if they weren't careful.

But the result was terrible.

The tall male corpse, heavy as a stone, did not fall to the ground; it continued to tread heavily on the carpet.

At this moment, Luo Suyī time of death arrived. He was clutching his head, screaming in agony, awaiting his demise.

"Luo Suyī didn't die! Yang Jian, he didn't die! He survived! That ghost changed its behavior; it didn't kill Luo Suyī!" At this moment, Xiong Wenwen shouted excitedly.

"What?" Yang Jian was taken aback.

But in the end, he found that the outcome had indeed changed.

The ghost didn't suddenly stop killing; instead, it continued walking forward with heavy, stiff steps.

The killings had stopped.

What... what is this?

He only wanted to trip the ghost, but instead of tripping it, Luo Suyī was saved.

Miracles happen with great effort?
