Giving Up

"Dead?"

Near the ghost coffin lay the corpses of two Ghost Tamer, motionless, both with the same manner of death: their necks twisted eerily behind them, as if they had snapped their own necks.

The others were immediately astonished by what they saw.

How is that possible?

Although those two Ghost Tamer weren't among the absolute top tier, they were still capable of controlling two ghosts. Under normal circumstances, let alone having their necks broken, even having their heads chopped off wouldn't necessarily kill them. After all, their bodies were no longer those of normal people, and the ways ordinary people died were no longer suitable for them.

However, just now, the two seemed to sense something was wrong. As they turned to run away, they were affected by some supernatural force and "committed suicide" to their deaths.

The ghost inside the body had no effect whatsoever.

Not only that, after the ghost entered the ghost coffin, the so-called killing pattern changed again. Previously, it was targeting Wang Xiaoming, who was alone, but now, the Ghost Tamer has also become the target.

"Unpredictable changes?" Wang Xiaoming realized the problem as soon as he saw the two people die.

The killing patterns of ghosts are not immutable. Yang Jian proved this before. He was worried that some changes would occur after the ghost restarted countless times, so he wanted to resolve this matter in advance. Now it seems that there is no need to wait for multiple restarts. After the vengeful ghost returned to the ghost coffin, it changed itself, and the previous pattern has changed.

"It's too late to detain them; there were oversights in the preparations."

He then felt somewhat disappointed.

If this operation hadn't been so rushed, and a large enough box had been brought to immediately contain the vengeful ghost after it returned to its coffin, this situation could have been avoided. After all, it was a very good opportunity, and at one point everyone thought the incident was over.

However, there are no "ifs".

The lack of swiftness in detaining the suspects led to this unusual situation, something no one could have predicted.

"Hey, Professor Wang, what do we do now? This has gotten complicated. We've lost two Ghost Tamer in one go. Something's not right," said the Ghost Tamer named Cao Yang.

"The ghosts inside those two people were suppressed and showed no signs of reviving. No wonder they died so quickly."

Jiang Shangbai analyzed the situation with a cold face. "Don't go near the ghost coffin. This thing is very eerie, and it's getting more and more strange. I don't recommend staying here any longer. We should leave. If we get caught up in that Ghost Domain again, everyone will be in danger. There's no way to get out of that Ghost Domain."

"If we just leave like this, what will happen to this thing?"

Feng Quan asked, "Are we just going to leave it here and ignore it? Won't the paranormal incident still not be resolved if we continue like this? If it were someone else, they could just run away, but if we run away, then this ghost coffin will really be left unattended."

Jiang Shangbai turned around and said, "If the plan fails, it's just a temporary retreat. To fight a supernatural event to the death? That's suicide."

"I agree. We've tried to imprison the ghost many times before, but failed. We've also tried to get the ghost back into the coffin. Although the effect was obvious, it was short-lived, and unexpected changes occurred. This shows that this matter is not simple. It would be safer to leave temporarily while we can still do so. If we continue to stay here, there is indeed a possibility of being drawn into supernatural events again." The speaker was Zhong Shan.

He chose to support Jiang Shangbai.

Regardless of anything else, he simply believed that this choice was correct.

"Professor, what do you think?" Li Jun paused for a moment before asking Wang Xiaoming for his opinion.

Although Wang Xiaoming is not Ghost Tamer, his decisions deserve serious consideration.

"Abandon the ghost coffin and leave." Wang Xiaoming didn't think much of it; perhaps he already had the answer in his heart. He calmly uttered this conclusion.

Two Ghost Tamer have already died, which means the balance has been broken and the previously established plan has failed.

Staying here will only exacerbate the damage, and in more serious cases, it could lead to the entire group being wiped out.

No one could afford to risk such a total annihilation, and Wang Xiaoming dared not gamble with everyone's lives. Temporarily abandoning the Ghost Coffin and thinking of another solution was the safest approach. However, doing so might lead to the Ghost Coffin discovering some unpredictable changes again.

This paranormal event has begun to spiral out of control.

"In that case, let's retreat." Li Jun had no objections; if Professor Wang said to retreat, then he would carry out the order.

The others' eyes flickered, and they immediately began to move away from the ghost coffin.

There might still be a chance to imprison this ghost coffin, but unfortunately, they currently lack a container large enough to hold it. If they return to Headquarters, they might be able to quickly make such a container, but by the time they get back here, it will definitely be too late.

However, just as they were about to leave...

The countless ghostly ropes had begun to descend from the sky at some point, and blood was seeping continuously from the area they were in. A chilling wind was blowing around them, and even more terrifyingly, a person had suddenly appeared inside the ghostly coffin, which had been silent just moments before.

To be precise, it should be a figure hidden in the darkness, its appearance very blurry. Judging from its posture, only the upper body of this person is visible outside the coffin, and it is facing forward, leaving only a profile.

But now nobody cares about what's happening inside the coffin; they're more concerned with the supernatural occurrences happening around them.

This is no longer just a supernatural event; it involves multiple bizarre changes.

It's like a bunch of ghosts are constantly starting to rise again.

"Use the Ghost Domain to leave here," Wang Xiaoming said.

Li Jun dared not be careless and immediately used Ghost Domain. Unlike Yang Jian, his own ghost was not in a dead state. He would not use his abilities Ghost Domain unless a situation occurred. If he were as reckless as Yang Jian, he would have been unable to withstand it long ago.

But now is not the time to be stingy.

However, the moment Li Jun's Ghost Domain opened, it was as if a blue light had been forcibly extinguished.

The Ghost Domain vanished instantly.

Li Jun's face immediately darkened, and he glanced back in the direction of the ghost coffin.

"It failed? It seems to have been suppressed. The ghost's power is still there; it can still suppress other ghosts. However, this time the Ghost Coffin seems to be intentionally choosing its target to suppress."

Wang Xiaoming immediately realized what was going on. "Run! Create distance between us and the ghost coffin. The ghost is inside the coffin now, so its influence is limited. Although the imprisonment failed, the most troublesome ability seems to have been alleviated."

The absence of the Ghost Domain of the Ghost Coffin was the only good news for everyone.

"No way, we're going to force our way out?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Because the supernatural phenomenon in the area is affecting at least a mile or two, although it's not particularly large, one would have to overcome some dangers and force their way out to have a chance.

And this feels very bad.
