This sudden supernatural attack caught everyone off guard. By the time everyone reacted, they saw the golden bottle covering Guo Fan's face, and a pale hand could be vaguely seen grabbing his face and pulling him deeper into the bottle.

Guo Fan's flesh was torn open, his facial bones were shattered, and the sudden, excruciating pain made him scream in agony.

If the person attacked in this incident were an ordinary person, they would probably be declared dead by now.

However, Guo Fan is Ghost Tamer, and Ghost Tamer can control two ghosts, so he still has basic survival skills in the face of fierce ghosts.

So, after a slight shock, Yang Jian chose to stand by and watch. He did not rush to the rescue, but stared at the pale, stiff fingers protruding from the bottle opening, and then thought of the hand he had imprisoned before.

It's clear that this ghost has a pair of hands.

Previously, I restricted myself to my right hand; this time, it's my left hand.

"No, it's no longer just a hand; I just saw a whole arm come out. The ghost in the bottle is gradually coming to life. Before, it was just a hand, but now it's a whole arm. If this continues, once everything inside the bottle is completely out, it will probably be a complete ghost."

Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly, realizing he had underestimated this thing.

A complete ghost is at least level A and has the potential to grow, making it extremely terrifying.

Wrong.

Then, Yang Jian suddenly realized that Guo Fan was still screaming. He had not used the ghost's power to resist the attack, and the pale hand covering his face had not retreated.

The others immediately realized the reason.

Guo Fan certainly didn't not want to use his ghostly abilities; he simply couldn't.

The demon inside him was suppressed.

Only under these circumstances would Guo Fan be unable to resist.

"This thing is no ordinary thing. If this continues, Guo Fan will die. Save him!" Zhong Shan hurriedly shouted from the side.

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yi, his face cold, rushed forward. His hands, already covered in lividity, gripped the bottle, trying to pry open the stiff fingers pressing against Guo Fan's face so that the bottle could be separated from him.

"Aren't you at all averse to direct contact with ghosts?" Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly upon seeing this.

Chen Yi 'Chen Yi to do this indicates either a lack of confidence in himself or that of a reckless fool.

The risk of direct contact with a ghost is greater than being targeted by one. At least you have a better chance of survival if you are targeted by a ghost, but if you make a mistake in judgment when you make direct contact with a ghost, you will die.

"Damn it, this bottle is made of gold, it's blocking my abilities." Chen Yi said with a ferocious expression, "Which of you has the ability to directly invade Guo Fan's body? If so, come and help quickly. If this guy dies, at least two ghosts will come out, and the situation will become even more complicated."

He couldn't repel the ghost's attack through the golden bottle, and the bottle's opening was blocked by Guo Fan's face, with the side opening dented and deeply embedded in flesh.

Unless Guo Fan's life is no longer a concern, but in that case, the ability to save him would be lost.

Zhong Shan was about to step forward to help, stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, his expression stiffening.

He doesn't possess this kind of targeted ability either; his ability works directly on ghosts. If it were used on a person, that person would definitely die. Although Guo Fan might not necessarily die, he didn't dare to gamble. If he lost the gamble, he would be finished.

At this moment, Shen Liang suddenly looked at Yang Jian.

There weren't many Ghost Tamer at the airport this time. Several had already left after confirming that everything was alright. The remaining Ghost Tamer were all here. If Zhong Shan and Chen Yi couldn't help, then they could only rely on Yang Jian.

Will Yang Jian actually save them?

Shen Liang knew that he and Guo Fan had some conflicts, and that Guo Fan might refuse to help him now.

His guess was correct.

Yang Jian really didn't want to save Guo Fan. What did it matter to him whether the guy lived or died? He almost got dragged down by this useless teammate during the Z City incident last time.

However, the situation forced him to take action.

He needed the soul bottle to prevent the ghost inside from escaping. Of course, he also didn't want the vengeful ghost to break free after Guo Fan's death, as he would have to clean up the mess himself.

"I'll do it." Yang Jian walked over expressionlessly.

A strange black shadow lingered at his feet, incongruous with his own shadow, as if it were an unreasonable extra. Moreover, this shadow seemed to lack a head, having only a flat neck.

The headless ghost quickly invaded Guo Fan's body.

He originally intended to pass through Guo Fan's body and directly repel the ghost, but when his ghostly figure sensed what was inside Guo Fan's body, it made him pause for a moment.

Inside Guo Fan's stomach was an old wooden memorial tablet, with what appeared to be a portrait inlaid on it. The person in the portrait was blurry, somewhat resembling Guo Fan, yet also somewhat resembling a complete stranger.

"Is this a ghost/spirit tablet controlled by Guo Fan?"

Although Yang Jian was curious, he didn't pay too much attention to it at the moment. Instead, the ghostly figure invaded the pale, stiff hand at the mouth of the bottle along his body.

The headless ghost was actually under Yang Jian's control after its resurrection, and in most cases, it could suppress those incomplete ghosts.

With the contact of the headless ghost.

The hand that had penetrated deep into Guo Fan's flesh suddenly retracted as if it had encountered its nemesis, disappearing into the darkness within the bottle.

Without any resistance, Chen Yi easily removed the bottle. He covered the bottle opening with one hand, seemingly confident enough to block the ghost inside and prevent it from escaping.

However, although Guo Fan was rescued, he seemed to have lost consciousness.

His facial bones were shattered, blood was everywhere, and even one of his eyeballs had been ripped out by the hand, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

"Is he dead?" Zhong Shan's expression changed slightly, and he asked hurriedly.

Although he could no longer feel Guo Fan's heartbeat and breathing, Ghost Tamer cannot make inferences based on common sense. The disappearance of vital signs does not mean that a person is dead. Most Ghost Tamer can still maintain the consciousness of a living person while in a dead state.

"I don't know, maybe he's dead, maybe he isn't."

Yang Jian frowned and said, "I'm suppressing the ghost inside him right now, so I can't tell, but judging from the looks of it, he's probably dead."

Chen Yi said somewhat violently, "What a piece of trash. I thought he was so capable, but he couldn't even withstand one attack. He's just causing trouble. Shen Liang, I suggest we treat him as a corpse. Even if he doesn't die, he's probably not far from the resurgence of a vengeful ghost. We can't let this guy get into trouble within my jurisdiction."

Shen Liang hurriedly said, "Wait a minute. I know Guo Fan's situation. His survival ability is still reliable. Yang Jian, you can lift the restrictions."

"Relaxing restrictions is easy, but I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong."

Yang Jian said coldly, "Don't make me take over when the two ghosts revive, or I'd rather quit. I've dealt with enough trouble today; if you make me clean up your mess, I'll start to question your motives towards me."

"Okay, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong," Shen Liang said through gritted teeth.

If Guo Fan were to stumble and fall here, he would suffer a huge loss.

"I recorded that sentence as evidence." Yang Jian pointed to his satellite-guided phone.

Shen Liang's face darkened. This Yang Jian looked young, but he was meticulous in his work, making no mistakes whatsoever.

Yang Jian withdrew the headless ghost from Guo Fan's body, but left a trace behind. A scarlet Ghost Eye was still observing the situation inside Guo Fan's body.

He was a little curious about this guy's abilities.

It also serves to prevent oneself from being attacked.

However, after he lifted the restrictions, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Guo Fan's mutilated face was rapidly recovering. This recovery wasn't the kind where the face simply healed and grew back; rather, a new human face appeared on his mutilated face, directly replacing his original, worn-out one.

"The memorial tablet on his stomach has changed."

Yang Jian suddenly saw through the Ghost Eye that remained in his body.

The man's face in the portrait had become mutilated and incomplete, and his previously blurry features had become increasingly clear.

Moreover, seemingly noticing Yang Jian's presence, the person in the portrait looked at Yang Jian's Ghost Eye, turned their head slightly, and revealed a strange smile.

Yang Jian's expression changed drastically.

The ghostly figure withdrew and ceased its observation.

At the same time, he noticed that Guo Fan's expression was very strange.

There seems to be a strange connection between the man in the memorial portrait and Guo Fan. Is the person in the portrait Guo Fan, or is the person standing before us Guo Fan?

But he believes that either the portrait or the person in question might be a ghost.
