Terrifying Contact

As Qian Yi walked through the darkness, he was unaware that the moment he met Yang Jian, they would enter the range of a vengeful ghost's attack.

All he knew was that he couldn't leave the training base now, and according to the killing patterns of the ghosts here, being alone was the most dangerous thing; he had to find enough teammates to reunite with in order to survive.

After learning that Yang Jian had not died in the dormitory building and had even gathered several Ghost Tamer to survive, Qian Yi's thoughts were complicated.

Because he tricked this Ghost Eye Yang Jian.

In Qian Yi's mind, this deception was nothing serious; as long as he could leave alive, it didn't matter much whether Yang Jian lived or died.

However, now...

Qian Yi, however, began to worry: how would he explain what had happened after reuniting with Yang Jian?

"I've looked into Yang Jian's file and some intelligence. He's not an easy person to get along with. When he gets angry, no one can stop him. If it weren't for special circumstances, I really wouldn't want to meet with Yang Jian. Who knows if he'll kill me after we meet?"

Qian Yi felt uneasy.

For those Ghost Tamer, death is commonplace; if they really wanted to kill a few people, it would be as simple as eating and drinking.

However, compared to Yang Jian, the ghosts here terrified him even more.

Contact with Yang Jian might not necessarily kill you; there might even be a chance to communicate. But if you come into contact with a ghost, you won't even have a chance to communicate; you'll be killed on the spot.

In order to survive, Qian Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and reunite with Yang Jian, hoping that the guy would consider the bigger picture and not attack him. After all, now was the time to stick together for warmth, and fighting amongst themselves would only lead to their quicker demise.

"He shouldn't be the kind of person who acts irrationally. Since he's already made up his mind, we can't worry about anything else. Let's meet up as soon as possible. I feel like something's getting increasingly off around us." Qian Yi looked at the location information on his phone. Despite the darkness around him, he moved quickly.

"Yang Jian and the others are just ahead; we'll be joining them soon."

Upon seeing that the signals had overlapped, he became quite excited.

Once they reunite, they can breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to worry about being killed by the vengeful ghost in a short time.

However, at this moment he noticed a faint stench of decay permeating the surrounding darkness, and at the same time, heavy, hurried footsteps sounded around him.

A chilling aura accompanied the encroaching darkness, sending shivers down one's spine and making one tremble all over.

Qian Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around sharply to look around.

He saw nothing.

"Yang Jian, is that you?" He stopped walking and shouted into the darkness.

His voice trembled slightly, revealing a strange fear.

Something's wrong. Something's very wrong.

The unusual surroundings, along with the Ghost Tamer's instinctive feelings, all conveyed a very dangerous signal to him: perhaps the real ghost was nearby.

"Could it be that unlucky? Something went wrong at this crucial moment." Qian Yi broke out in a cold sweat and looked at his phone.

Even in the dark, a mobile phone can emit a faint light, enough to see what's on the screen, but this light doesn't travel very far; it's completely swallowed up by the darkness beyond half a meter, so you have to hold it very close to see it clearly.

The phone screen displays a signal source.

This signal source overlaps with the signal on Qian Yi's phone, which means that Yang Jian and his group are nearby, because the positioning error of this signal would not exceed ten meters at most.

"Could those footsteps have been Yang Jian and his group?"

Qian Yi wondered if he was just scaring himself; there were no ghosts around, and Yang Jian and his group had simply happened to pass by in the darkness.

While his idea might be somewhat naive, it's not impossible.

Qian Yi dared not stop. He had to keep moving, otherwise he might run into Yang Jian and his group. If he could run into them, he could get through this crisis.

However, just as he was about to move...

The screen on the phone suddenly dimmed, and in the darkness, a stiff, blackened hand reached out from somewhere and covered the phone screen.

The only faint glimmer of light was extinguished.

At the same time, a chilling aura accompanied by a faint stench of corpses wafted over. Although he couldn't see what was in front of him, Qian Yi could clearly sense a strange figure standing in front of him, blocking his way and seemingly waiting for him beforehand.

"Ghost!"

Qian Yi shuddered, and a word filled with fear flashed through his mind.

At this moment, there could be no human standing in front of him, even if Yang Jian's signal source was nearby.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and ran.

Whether or not he can escape, it's at least the only thing he can do right now.

However, once you're targeted by a ghost, escaping is obviously not very realistic.

Instantly, Qian Yi felt as if his neck was being tightly gripped by two hands, a strong sense of suffocation surged up, and at the same time, a terrifying force came from the darkness, directly suspending him in mid-air.

He struggled violently, instinctively reaching for his neck.

Qian Yi touched an old straw rope, rough and cold, like the ropes people used to hang themselves in the past.

Subconsciously, he wanted to use his own vengeful spirit power to fight back.

But his own ghost seemed to have completely fallen silent and disappeared, without any reaction, and he suddenly felt like an ordinary person again.

"Is it a ghost trying to kill me, or Yang Jian?" Qian Yi's tongue was almost sticking out from being strangled, and his face was flushed red. He recognized the rope around his neck.

Yang Jian used this technique at the Ping An Hotel to trap someone who was about to be resurrected as a vengeful ghost.

However, his idea is not important.

Just inches away from him, a pair of stiff, cold, blackened hands emerged from the darkness, tore open his clothes, and forcefully reached into his flesh and blood. They groped around, seemingly searching for something inside his body.

This seemingly casual groping had already torn his body apart, twisted his bones, and caused him immense pain.

"Giggle"

Qian Yi's body trembled violently. He spat out blood, his eyes widened, and he made a labored sound, unable to resist this desperate terror.

"Damn it."

However, just as he was on the verge of death, an extremely anxious voice rang out from the darkness, tinged with shock and anger.

Qian Yi seemed to hear the sound and strained to look in the direction from which it came.

He saw nothing in the darkness except a flickering flame.

The flame was also black, but the blackness twisted and flickered, and a vague outline could still be discerned.

Now.

Holding the ghost candle, Yang Jian led the others to Qian Yi's side.

Within a five-meter radius, he could see everything around him.

Qian Yi, suspended in mid-air as if about to be skinned alive by a vengeful ghost, and the true appearance of that vengeful ghost.

The ghost was facing away from Yang Jian and looked like a normal person. It was wearing a tattered shirt that was dirty and black, covered with thick bloodstains. The bloodstains were rotting and emitted a smell like that of a corpse. At the same time, its exposed hands and feet were stiff and black.

Like a corpse that has been sitting somewhere for a long time, it is in a state of impending decay but not yet decayed.

Yang Jian knew that the ghost's current form was that of the Ghost Tamer named Wei Jing.

The experiment failed, and Wei Jing's body was possessed by the ghost in the coffin, becoming a shell or a vessel for the ghost.

This appearance doesn't matter.

Because if someone destroys Wei Jing's corpse, the ghost in the coffin will reappear in another form and begin a second attack.

Despite being prepared, Yang Jian was still apprehensive about the prospect of direct contact with a vengeful ghost.

But he did not hesitate for a moment.

Upon seeing the ghost, he immediately rushed towards it.

Because distance is key.

As long as they can bring themselves and Qian Yi together, the rule that being alone means certain death will be broken, and Qian Yi will be seen as part of a whole with them.

Yang Jian did not retreat, Zhang Lei, Wang Jiang, and the other two Ghost Tamer behind him naturally did not retreat either. They could not see what was happening around them, so even if there were fierce ghosts in front of them, they would move forward without hesitation and would not stop because of fear.

It only took two or three seconds.

Yang Jian and his group approached the ghost, and at the same time, they approached Qian Yi.

The expected scene unfolded.

The ghost within two meters of him stopped moving. It did not continue to kill Qian Yi, even though Qian Yi's body was twisted and bleeding profusely, and he was only one step away from death, he still survived.

"What the paper said was true; this is our only chance." Yang Jian knew this when he saw the ghost stop moving.

I only have one chance to make a move.

It was at the moment the rules changed and the ghost stopped that it stopped.

At this moment, what he needed to do was weaken the ghost's power; otherwise, if the ghost were to act again, it would be too difficult to find an opportunity.
