The Attack That Was Repelled

Upon seeing the extra pair of hands on the human skin paper, Yang Jian's body tensed up instantly, his eyes narrowed, and an inexplicable chill surged from the soles of his feet throughout his entire body.

Is a ghost already lingering around me?

He had to admit that his vigilance had been lowered just now. Perhaps because he was in the training base, or perhaps because he was thinking about some things, he hadn't paid much attention to his surroundings. As a result, he only realized the Ghost Eye was agitated and that there were such obvious changes in the vicinity now. If this had happened during one of the paranormal events he had experienced before, he probably would have been dead by now.

"It wants to steal the human skin paper?"

The hand reaching out from the darkness had a very clear intention: to take the human skin paper from Yang Jian's hand.

If I hadn't been strong enough, the paper human skin would have been snatched away by those strangely appearing hands in that instant.

And now, the situation doesn't seem to be much better.

These stiff hands gripped the human skin paper tightly with incredible strength. At the other end of these hands was a dense darkness, where two arms could only be vaguely seen disappearing into the darkness. It was impossible to see what the source of these hands was.

Perhaps it is Ghost Tamer, or perhaps it is a demon itself.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Yang Jian didn't have time to think. When he realized what was happening, he opened his Ghost Eye almost instantly.

A red light emanated from the Ghost Eye, enveloping its entire body and spreading in all directions.

In any situation, use Ghost Domain to protect yourself first.

However, things did not go as expected. Yang Jian's Ghost Domain did not spread out, but was suppressed to the surrounding area, with a distance of less than ten centimeters.

The red light of that Ghost Domain realm could barely cover itself, and it was in danger of being extinguished like a candle by the surrounding darkness at any moment.

"Completely suppressed even under the influence of a single layer of Ghost Domain? What on earth is this thing?" Yang Jian felt a chill run down his spine.

Upon seeing this situation, he was suddenly overcome with an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Being in such close contact with an unknown ghost, with the Ghost Domain completely suppressed, he could easily perish here if he wasn't careful.

The difference between Ghost Tamer and a real ghost is still enormous.

"Use Ghost Shadow."

Yang Jian's Ghost Eye ability is Ghost Domain. If one layer of Ghost Domain is suppressed, increasing the number of Ghost Domain will not have any effect. However, if he wants to suppress other vengeful ghosts, Ghost Shadow is obviously more suitable.

Immediately.

A tall, headless black shadow slowly rose from beneath his feet, cold and terrifying, like a corpse standing in the darkness, giving people a strange sense of suffocation.

The headless ghostly figure stretched out its black arm, gripping the stiff hands that were clutching the human skin paper tightly, and then slowly pulled hard, as if trying to rip the eerie arm off alive.

The ability to piece together corpses is the ability of the headless ghost. If Yang Jian hadn't been worried about the resurgence of vengeful spirits, he could have had the headless ghost assemble a ghost body entirely composed of vengeful spirits.

However, this ability to suppress vengeful spirits failed at this moment.

The headless ghost did not remove these hands.

"How is this possible?" Yang Jian's eyes narrowed.

Suppressing the Ghost Eye and fending off attacks from headless ghostly figures—a pair of stiff, dead hands can accomplish all of this.

If those hands had attacked me instead of this piece of paper, the outcome would have been different.

I can't even imagine.

At this moment, the force coming from my hands grew stronger and stronger. No, perhaps it could no longer be called simple force, but a terrifying feeling I had never experienced before, as if the ghost inside my body was being forcibly pulled out bit by bit.

The headless ghost's body was gradually deformed as it was pulled out, and the Ghost Domain emanating from its Ghost Eye was also twisting.

Now.

Yang Jian felt a strong sense of dizziness and powerlessness.

Once the headless ghost is removed, his deteriorating body will be unable to sustain its life.

The reason he is alive now is because there is a ghost inside his body. So if the ghost is removed, most Ghost Tamer will die immediately, except for some special exceptions.

"I can't suppress this monster. If this stalemate continues, I'll definitely die here." Cold sweat broke out on Yang Jian's face, and the thought of abandoning the human skin paper and leaving immediately crossed his mind.

These hands seem to be targeting the human skin paper, so abandoning the human skin paper would likely ensure your safety.

However, without the human skin paper, Yang Jian will have no solution to the resurrection of his own vengeful spirit.

"No, the human skin paper cannot fall into the hands of a ghost so easily."

Yang Jian gritted his teeth, released one hand, quickly untied an old straw rope from his wrist, and then used the rope to wrap around the stiff hands that were trying to snatch the human skin paper.

I don't know if it will work, but I have to give it a try.

This is all the abilities I can currently utilize. If I still can't fight back, then I'll have to give up.

The ghost rope began to revive as soon as it left Yang Jian's hand.

Almost without anyone's intervention, the old straw rope had already wrapped around those arms and then quickly disappeared into the darkness, seemingly trying to hang some ghost.

After the Ghost Rope revives, it attacks anyone around it indiscriminately, including other ghosts.

Ghost Rope's current target is a ghost in the darkness. Yang Jian will not become Ghost Rope's next target until that ghost is completely hoisted up.

It was precisely because of this simple rule that the Ghost Rope was suppressed by Yang Jian, becoming a ghost that was completely controlled.

It worked.

Yang Jian stared intently at the pair of stiff hands. The hands were slowly retreating, and the pressure he felt had noticeably decreased. It was as if the ghostly ropes in the darkness were constantly pulling the source up, causing the hands to lose their strength and cease their insistence on taking the human skin paper.

"Is three ghosts its limit?"

After suppressing the Ghost Eye, the headless ghost shadow, and even the ghost rope, this unknown genius chose to slowly retreat.

Final.

The stiff hand released the parchment and disappeared into the darkness, leaving only ten clear finger marks on the parchment, proving how dangerous the supernatural encounter had just occurred.

"Is it leaving?"

Yang Jian saw the surrounding darkness rapidly receding, and his Ghost Domain gradually returned to normal, beginning to cover a radius of one meter, three meters, and ten meters around him.

Soon, the darkness in the firing range dissipated, and the nearby searchlights immediately regained their brightness.

The eerie presence was leaving the area where he was.

But the strange occurrence just now wasn't entirely fruitless; something, perhaps a ghost, took away Yang Jian's ghost rope.

"What a joke! What exactly happened? Has some Ghost Tamer's vengeful spirit been resurrected, or is someone deliberately creating this supernatural phenomenon?" Yang Jian's face was extremely ugly. He didn't even have time to feel fortunate that he had escaped this calamity.

Because someone was on his mind.

Wang Xiaoming.

During the day, Wang Xiaoming was still making deals with him, trying to get the human skin paper he had.

I was attacked by a ghost at night, and it was specifically after the human skin paper.

Yang Jian absolutely refused to believe it was a coincidence; perhaps Wang Xiaoming had sent some Ghost Tamer to steal the item.

Ah~!

However, before he could think any further, a desperate and terrified scream came from the darkness nearby.

"Has anyone else been attacked by a ghost?"

Yang Jian looked in the direction from which the sound came.

That place was also shrouded in darkness, but judging from its location, it should be the dormitory building of the training base, where these dozen or so Ghost Tamer were resting.

"How is that possible?"

Upon hearing this scream, Yang Jian's expression immediately changed.

The previous assumption was incorrect.

It wasn't Wang Xiaoming who sent people to steal things; if it were, the Ghost Tamer would only attack himself, and it would be impossible for him to attack anyone else.

So, what I just encountered was a real ghost?

Just as he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, his satellite-guided cell phone rang in his bag.

"Yang Jian, when you hear this, the training base you're in is already in considerable danger. Leave immediately and ensure your safety. A ghost is heading towards the training base, and it may have even infiltrated it already."

Before he could even answer, Liu Xiaoyu's anxious and panicked voice came from the satellite-guided phone.

"I'll repeat myself: prioritize your safety, get out of here quickly, and whatever you do, don't die!"

"Forcibly opening the communication to make a call indicates that the situation has reached a critical point." Yang Jian's expression changed slightly.

Then, when he heard that a ghost was heading to the training base, he felt a chill run down his spine.

My judgment was correct.

There's a ghost lurking here, and I might very well be the first unlucky one to be attacked.

As for the others, they're probably in grave danger by now.

Their chances of surviving the attack were slim.
