Forced Splicing

Since the operation began and the ghost candle was lit to attract the ghost, everything that happened has exceeded Yang Jian's expectations. Various strange and dangerous emergencies have been coming one after another, giving him no extra time to think. Moreover, if he makes a wrong move, the whole thing will be lost and everyone will die here.

"What exactly is going on?"

Yang Jian gritted his teeth, both shocked and furious.

He released the ghostly hand and opened the golden bottle containing the ghost. This action undoubtedly increased the number of ghosts on his side, and certainly exceeded the maximum number that the ghosts in the ghost coffin could suppress.

Therefore, the absolute suppression formed by the ghost no longer exists; otherwise, Yang Jian would not have been able to use the ghost's ability to save Wang Jiang.

The problem is, even though they clearly have the advantage in terms of the number of ghosts, why are the ghosts still attacking people?

The condition of being alone should no longer be met.

Has the rule changed?

Or did an unexpected and bizarre change occur after a direct encounter with a ghost?

Unsure, and with no time to think or judge, surrounded by perilous situations, even Yang Jian could only take it one step at a time, making various attempts like walking a tightrope, struggling to find a way to survive.

"The Ghost Hand has been revived."

His gaze was fixed on the Ghost Tamer named Huang Ziya.

A pale, bloodless, stiff hand rested on her shoulder, and then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it began to disappear from her sight.

This is not a good sign.

Once this eerie hand disappears, it signifies that the ghost has reverted to its previous state and entered the Third Ghost Domain. Afterward, it will create a terrifying curse that will begin killing those around it.

Although Yang Jian didn't know what the conditions were for this strange hand to kill him, it didn't matter.

Because they cannot afford to lose any members, otherwise, if someone dies, their own vengeful spirit will go out of control, causing the original situation to completely spiral out of control.

"Let's suppress this strange hand first."

Almost instantly, Yang Jian made a decisive choice. Before the ghostly hand had completely disappeared, he immediately controlled the headless ghost shadow to attack.

My current condition is no longer sufficient to activate the third layer of the Ghost Domain.

Once this eerie hand disappears, everyone present will be powerless against this ghost.

Because others do not have Ghost Domain, they cannot find the source of this curse and can only be passively killed or exhausted to the limit, dying from the resurgence of their own vengeful spirit.

However, Yang Jian dared to release the ghost hand first, and he also prepared countermeasures.

The headless ghost is most effective against incomplete ghosts.

A tall, dark figure lurked in the darkness, silently standing beside Huang Ziya, yet she felt nothing, not even the appearance of the ghostly hand on her body.

This wasn't because she wasn't alert enough, but because her attention wasn't on her own surroundings; she was wary of the even more terrifying ghost nearby.

The instant the pale, bloodless hand disappeared, a dark shadow enveloped it.

The ghostly figure instantly invaded the ghostly hand.

The ghostly hand, which had already become blurry and was about to disappear, suddenly froze, as if it had lost its eeriness.

Before the hand could enter the third layer of the Ghost Domain, Yang Jian's headless ghost figure successfully captured it and restrained it.

But the headless ghostly figure caused an unexpected change the moment it grabbed the ghostly hand.

The tall, dark, headless shadow was no longer under Yang Jian's control. It walked straight towards Yang Jian and began to return to his body.

"Damn it, what I was worried about has happened." Yang Jian's eyes narrowed. He felt that the headless ghost was acting on instinct, even though it had crashed.

It wanted to piece together the body of a vengeful ghost.

Having this hand is like having a piece of a puzzle.

So this piece of the puzzle was eager to be pieced together on Yang Jian himself, and Yang Jian was unable to resist this instinct.

He could have done it before, but now, his body has deteriorated, and the instinct of the headless ghost has taken over; he can't even fight against the ghost he controls.

This is a state of being out of control.

Yang Jian had experienced this before when he controlled the headless ghost. Every night, the headless ghost would go out of control and automatically attack the people around it. Jiang Yan was attacked several times back then, but he stopped her each time.

But now, he couldn't stop it; he could only watch helplessly as this happened.

Soon.

The headless ghost returned to its body, but it brought back with it a pale, bloodless hand.

Like assembling building blocks.

Yang Jian's own hand mysteriously severed and fell to the ground on its own, while another hand smoothly took its place, becoming his new hand.

The assembly is complete.

As the headless ghostly figure's out-of-control state ended, Yang Jian immediately felt a chilling aura creeping up his arm and into his entire body.

The area in my palm had lost sensation; touch and pain were gone, and a foreign feeling, not belonging to me, arose in my heart.

What was terrifying was that when Yang Jian tried to move his hand, he was able to control the pale, eerie palm and make it move according to his will.

"Did the headless ghost forcibly attach its ghostly hand to my body? My balance might be disrupted by the intrusion of this third ghost, and my death might be even more gruesome."

Yang Jian gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling to have his hand replaced by the ghost, there was no way he could get it back now.

Because this hand is a moving ghost, without the suppression of the headless ghost shadow, it will start killing people. It cannot be removed and imprisoned either, because for now, he still needs this ghost hand to make up the number.

In other words, given the current situation, he has no choice but to keep the ghostly hand on his body.

"Never mind that for now, we'll talk about it after this is over." Yang Jian quickly picked up his fallen hand.

Not wanting to abandon his original body, he put it back into the box and packed it away.

"Yang Jian, did you hear that?"

Suddenly, Zhang Lei's tense voice rang out. "After Wang Jiang was rescued, I think I heard a bottle fall to the ground behind me. What happened on your end? Do you need any help? I feel the situation is very bad."

The sound of a bottle falling to the ground?

Yang Jian had been focused on preventing the ghost hand from reviving, so he hadn't paid attention to anything else. Now, Zhang Lei immediately turned around to look at him.

A golden bottle was shaking slightly on the ground. The bottle was open and empty, and the bottom could be seen at a glance. There was no longer any eerie or ominous aura as before.

The ghost inside has escaped!

When it rains, it pours.

One bad thing after another happened, and each unexpected event made people feel desperate and suffocated.

"One of the ghosts wasn't suppressed and I accidentally released it." Yang Jian said with a grim face, while scanning his surroundings, trying to find the released ghost.

"What?"

Terrified cries rang out one after another.

Yang Jian, "The situation is different from what I imagined. The ghost attack on Wang Jiang made me misjudge the situation. Although rashly increasing the number of ghosts prevented us from being killed by them, the ghosts I released also caused a lot of trouble."

"What do we do now?" Wang Jiang had barely escaped death and hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when an even greater crisis struck.

"You can manage one side but not the other. Achieving absolute balance is extremely difficult. You are all Ghost Tamer. Now you can feel whether you can still use your own abilities," Yang Jian.

"It works, and it's not completely out of control like before," Zhang Lei said.

Yang Jiandao said, "That's enough. This shows that we have the advantage in the number of ghosts, which is crucial. For now, I'll assume that the balance has been achieved. The next step is to find other Ghost Tamer."

"Wait, didn't you release another ghost? Isn't it going to stop?" Huang Ziya asked hurriedly.

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes. "After I released that ghost from the bottle, because of the ghost candle, I'm certain that the ghost is still with us and hasn't left. I just haven't found it yet. But what are you afraid of? There are five of us Ghost Tamer. Even if that ghost appears, we can suppress it immediately."

"The ghosts outside are what we're most worried about, aren't they?"

Compared to the ghost in the bottle, the ghost in the coffin is far more terrifying; at least the former offers some hope of dealing with it.

"Come with me now. We'll discover and solve problems as we go. Staying here will only mean waiting to die."

Although Yang Jian knew there were still problems to be solved, time did not allow them to waste any more time.

We must act immediately to lure away the ghosts around us.

Only in this way could he continue to observe his surroundings and see if the possibility of survival described on the parchment was truly real.
