Racing the Fierce Ghost

Although Yang Jian sent Wang Xiaoming to check on the ghost coffin, he was still in danger. His immediate priority was to find a way to survive this supernatural event.

As for imprisoning that vengeful ghost, he never even considered it.

He had also experienced the Ghost Coffin Incident in Huanggang Village and imprisoned that ghost, but afterwards, he was met with a second, despairing attack from a vengeful ghost.

If this ghost is indeed a ghost coffin, then it must possess this characteristic as well.

Therefore, confronting that ghost head-on is the most foolish thing to do.

"All I need to do is find a way to survive and escape from here. In my current state, fighting this ghost would be tantamount to suicide." Yang Jian decided on his next course of action.

Looking at the dormitory building shrouded in darkness, his unease grew stronger.

Because the real ghost is lurking somewhere in this dormitory building.

Visibility wasn't very good.

If you're just an ordinary person, it's like groping in the dark, unable to see anything clearly, practically blind. You wouldn't even know if a ghost was standing in front of you.

But the Ghost Eye is much better.

I can see things within about five meters clearly. Beyond five meters, I can barely make out an outline and determine whether it is a person or a building. But beyond ten meters, I really can't see anything at all. Even turning on a strong flashlight won't help much; it's like having a glow stick in the dark.

The Ghost Domain formed by the power of the vengeful spirit created an absolute suppression.

Everyone was as if they had stepped into a world of ghosts, becoming prey to be hunted.

Yang Jian took a deep breath and approached the dormitory building with unease and extreme vigilance.

He didn't want to get too close to the ghost.

But he couldn't just stand by and watch other Ghost Tamer be hunted down, and then the ghost grew to an absolutely terrifying level.

To survive, you have to fight.

After all, the pattern of the killings is clear; the rest is up to you to survive.

"Right now I only have two ghosts on me, which means I'm now alone. As I get closer to this ghost, I'm just like everyone else, and there's a possibility that I'll be targeted and killed. But at least that ghost isn't in my sight right now, which means that ghost doesn't have the ability to split itself into multiple copies and only targets one person at a time."

"This is a good thing, so I must find other Ghost Tamer as soon as possible to increase the number of ghosts on my side, otherwise I might really be doomed this time."

After Yang Jian stepped into the danger zone, he showed no hesitation or fear.

Instead, he rushed towards the dormitory building, but not in a straight line; instead, he walked in a curve, intentionally circling around the area.

He considered the dormitory building to be the most dangerous area, and he didn't want to step into it now. If there were ghosts inside, then the other Ghost Tamer would definitely have noticed them and would normally have fled the dormitory building.

However, due to the darkness and the loss of sight and direction, Yang Jian guessed that someone must be wandering around the dormitory building, lost.

My guess was correct.

Yang Jian's Ghost Eye vision quickly spotted a faint light five meters away.

Like a spark.

Although faint and barely visible, it was still quite easy to spot in the dense darkness.

With caution, he quickly approached.

A human-shaped silhouette appeared in the darkness.

But Yang Jian was not immediately overjoyed, because the humanoid outline was very likely a ghost, not a human.

Only when he cautiously approached within five meters did the human figure's outline finally become clear.

It was a person, a woman with some beauty, but Yang Jian didn't recognize her. Recalling the process of listening to Professor Bai's lecture during the day, it seemed that there was indeed such a person among the dozen or so Ghost Tamer. He wasn't completely unaware of her; he had unintentionally seen her a few times.

"Very good, as long as they are Ghost Tamer, it will be fine." Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

His own vigilance and caution led him to find his first Ghost Tamer, thus increasing the number of ghosts he possessed.

"Who is it?"

The sound of rapidly approaching footsteps in the darkness instantly made Huang Ziya, who was lost near the dormitory building, tremble violently. Her hair stood on end, and an inexplicable fear surged through her body.

She couldn't see clearly what was coming from the direction of the sound, only that there was a "person" approaching her.

It could be other Ghost Tamer, or it could be a real ghost.

"It's me, Yang Jian." From the darkness came Yang Jian's deliberately lowered voice.

Yang Jian?

Ghost Eye Yang Jian?

Upon hearing this name, Huang Ziya, who wasn't particularly resilient, almost burst into tears.

"You, what are you doing here?" However, her rationality as Ghost Tamer kept her calm.

"Like you, I've been caught up in this man-made supernatural event. Now is not the time to talk about this. If you want to live, come with me. If you keep wandering around here, you'll only be waiting to die. That ghost will be after you soon." Yang Jian didn't rush to get closer, but walked over while saying this.

This would lower her guard, preventing her from suddenly getting too close and being attacked by this woman using her ghostly powers.

Under extreme stress, people are prone to overreacting.

Yang Jian himself has experienced this firsthand.

"I don't want to die, please help me get out of here." The woman named Huang Ziya's voice was filled with fear and trembling.

"Try your best."

Yang Jian walked over, grabbed her hand and placed it on his shoulder. "Put your hand on my shoulder and come with me. Under no circumstances should you suddenly let go or try to escape alone. This ghost is special; only when all the Ghost Tamer gather together can they have a chance to survive. If you go alone, you will surely die."

"I understand. I've dealt with paranormal events before, though they were minor ones, but I still know the rules." Huang Ziya felt the warmth from Yang Jian's shoulder, and her fear lessened slightly.

"As long as they're not incompetent teammates," Yang Jian replied, then continued walking towards the dormitory building.

He couldn't see the dormitory building at all; he could only see the outline of a building standing in the darkness.

The Ghost Domain was completely suppressed.

Therefore, they could only proceed in the dark, trying to gather together the other Ghost Tamer scattered throughout the dormitory building.

"Do you have a GPS-enabled phone? If so, contact Headquarters and see if we can pinpoint the location of other people by phone." Yang Jing thought of a pretty good method.

"I can use mutual positioning to determine my location," Huang Ziya said from behind.

"It's useless. We can't rely on this kind of location tracking. It's too easy for accidents to happen. Some people might not have their phones with them when the ghost appears, or someone might have been killed by the ghost and lost their phone. If we rashly try to locate them, it might lead us into a dangerous area. So we can only determine their location through phone calls. This way, we can eliminate most of the potential dangers."

Yang Jian said.

He needs to focus his attention on his surroundings, so he can't do this job. Huang Ziya is perfect for it, since she can't see anything right now anyway.

Soon.

Huang Ziya behind him began communicating with Headquarters.

But this response will be very slow.

Yang Jian couldn't wait for Headquarters to report his location, so he had to continue his operation.

We arrived directly in front of the dormitory building.

His expression immediately turned serious.

Because he saw blood on the ground.

Thick, crimson blood was splattered on the ground, not even congealed yet, with fragments of the corpse remaining nearby.

"A Ghost Tamer has been killed." Although Yang Jian had long been prepared for this, he still held a sliver of hope that the other Ghost Tamer wouldn't die so quickly.

But harsh reality shattered his last shred of hope.

"Including the ghost rope I lost and the Ghost Tamer was killed, that ghost can currently suppress at least 5 ghosts. On my side, including the person behind me, the number of ghosts is only three. Even if I can release a ghost in an emergency, the maximum number is 4."

"Still isolated, there's still a possibility of being killed."

Yang Jian felt an even greater sense of urgency.

He was now racing against a vengeful ghost, seeing if it could kill faster or if he could gather these scattered Ghost Tamer faster.

Once the game is lost.

Even if Yang Jian gathered a group of Ghost Tamer, it would be useless; he would still be alone and killed.

Therefore, time is crucial.

Without hesitation, he went straight upstairs down the corridor.

The dark staircase exuded a strange sense of oppression, and faint footsteps could be heard echoing in the silent stairwell.

It wasn't his own, nor did it belong to Huang Ziya behind him; it belonged to an unknown entity.

But Yang Jian wasn't unprepared when he stepped into this dangerous dormitory building.

He also had a ghost candle that was barely burning; if he were attacked or saw the ghost, he would light it without hesitation.

But not now, because he can't be sure how long he'll stay here. The little resources he has left can only be used in critical moments, and reckless squandering would only ruin his chances of survival.
