The Truly Unsolvable Restart

Wang Xiaoming and his group had no idea that the person providing support was Yang Jian, let alone that Yang Jian was currently counter-invading this Ghost Domain.

If he can successfully invade, it means that Yang Jian will be able to easily escape when he faces this ghost coffin again in the future, or at least his life will not be in danger. This is an attempt, a very necessary attempt. At the same time, he also wants to confirm what will eventually happen if his own Ghost Domain continues to accumulate.

Can we discover the source of the paranormal phenomenon? Can we find the truth to unravel the doubts in his heart?

But the terror in the darkness continues.

Because the ghost codenamed "Ghost Messenger" is in this darkness.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming, Tong Qian, Li Jun, Feng Quan, and the others had withstood numerous supernatural attacks and were now close to the ghost coffin.

Before them, a humanoid silhouette was hidden in the darkness, standing there like a corpse, facing them. Beneath the humanoid silhouette was a coffin-shaped object, the two seemingly fused together, making it appear particularly eerie and unsettling.

As the group approached, the ghost in front seemed to show no reaction whatsoever, as if it had lost its ability to move and posed no threat whatsoever.

But such a naive idea is obviously impossible.

This ghost wasn't completely still; although it remained motionless most of the time, its posture changed every so often.

When Wang Xiaoming first lured the ghost into the ghost coffin, it was lying inside. The Ghost Domain formed a black coffin lid that pressed down on the coffin.

Then the coffin lid disappeared, transforming back into a Ghost Domain that began to erode everything around it.

The ghost was no longer lying down, but sat up as if it had risen from the dead, with half of its body sticking out of the coffin lid, stiff and straight. Its head was not facing Wang Xiaoming and the others, but facing the front of the coffin.

Now, the ghost sitting in the coffin stood up and faced them.

It seemed to be waiting for others to approach.

"It's just ahead, about eight meters away."

Wang Xiaoming's voice remained calm. Faced with such a supernatural event, he, as an ordinary person, showed no sign of backing down or fear.

The others also saw the silhouette in the darkness, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

The real source of terror lies here: to take the ghost coffin, one must make direct contact with such a ghost; otherwise, one can only watch helplessly as it fully revives.

"I'll lead the charge," Li Jun said in a deep voice. "I'll get that ghost out of the coffin. Feng Quan, you're in charge of retrieving it. Tong Qian, you and the others will help me hold off the ghost's attacks. If I die, you all take Professor Wang and retreat."

Not many words, just simple and clear.

There wasn't much explanation. If even he was defeated, then it meant that this ghost was beyond repair. No one else should even think about taking the ghost coffin; they'd be lucky to escape.

"Can you handle it?"

Feng Quan glanced at it. "We might die if we're not careful. According to Yang Jian's analysis, this thing should be able to suppress the power of six ghosts. At least three people who can control two ghosts each would need to avoid being attacked. We might as well go at it together. At worst, we'll all die here together."

"The risk is too great, I refuse," Li Jun said. "We can't gamble everyone's lives on a single opportunity."

"Wait." Suddenly, Wang Xiaoming stopped in his tracks and signaled the others to stop as well.

"What's wrong?" someone asked.

Wang Xiaoming frowned. "Something's not right. We haven't been attacked by any supernatural forces since we approached the ghost coffin. The supernatural entities that revived before have disappeared."

"I don't feel that way. We just survived an attack before," Feng Quan said in surprise.

"How could you not have noticed? Based on the frequency of previous attacks, at least five seconds have passed since they last attacked us. How could you not have noticed such a big change?" Wang Xiaoming said.

Five seconds?

Who has the time or inclination to calculate this?

Everyone else had the same thought in their minds.

"Start immediately, everyone together!" Suddenly, Wang Xiaoming uttered these words again.

Um?

Wasn't Li Jun leading the charge?

Everyone was puzzled again.

However, before he could finish speaking, one of the Ghost Tamer next to him suddenly screamed in terror. He was grabbed by something and fell to the ground. A terrifying force pulled him rapidly toward the location of the ghost.

"Watch out!" Feng Quan exclaimed in alarm and quickly reached out to grab him.

But they slipped through their fingers as soon as they caught them.

Tong Qian also realized what was happening. She turned her face, and her ghostly face, which looked as peaceful as a dead person with a tearful expression, seemed to want to cry. But when the ghostly face moved, it couldn't cry anymore.

Were they suppressed?

The idea popped into Tong Qian's mind.

This wasn't the first time they'd encountered this unsolvable ability to suppress Ghost Tamer; they'd experienced it before. It was an unsolvable and eerie ability, which is why they chose to act as a team. That way, if one person's ability was suppressed, the others could compensate.

That's why they were able to walk back and forth through this terrifying Ghost Domain twice without suffering any harm.

The two rescuers failed, and Li Jun's Ghost Domain extended directly to the attacked Ghost Tamer, attempting to bring him back using the Ghost Domain.

However, while the Ghost Domain did cover the past, the rescue operation failed.

The man screamed in terror and then disappeared into the darkness. He could vaguely see his companion struggling and falling into the ghost coffin.

"What was that just now?" someone exclaimed in a panic.

"I didn't see it. It seemed to appear suddenly and then attack us." Feng Quan said with a hint of tension, "When I came into contact with it, my own ghostly abilities were suppressed, and it also changed. We were no longer alone. According to the previous pattern, it was impossible for it to attack Ghost Tamer."

"It wasn't it that attacked us, it was something else. The Ghost Messenger used something as a medium to break through the distance limit." Wang Xiaoming's eyes flickered. "Didn't you say before that there is a certain distance limit when you're not alone? If the ghost can break through this distance limit, then its attack pattern will change."

"It is learning and growing, and growing even faster than that starving ghost. This is the change that has occurred upon its return to the ghost coffin, and we must stop it from continuing to occupy the ghost coffin."

My worst fears have come true.

Unfortunately, the initial preparations were insufficient, and the imprisonment was not carried out quickly enough. Otherwise, even if the ghost were to fully resurrect, there would be no need to worry, since once imprisoned, the ghost coffin could not be allowed to reappear; it would simply be sealed away forever.

"Let's all attack together." Li Jun now realized why Wang Xiaoming had told everyone to attack together earlier.

He had already guessed that the pattern might change, and that he could be attacked even if he wasn't alone, so he wanted to seize the ghost coffin before the ghost could make a move.

However, the others hesitated, expressing their incomprehension.

Of course, we can't blame them. After all, they've always been cautious and safe. Not everyone can accept a sudden change in their methods. The Ghost Tamer also have their own ideas. It's impossible for everyone to rush forward without blinking an eye just because Wang Xiaoming says something.

However, the death of this teammate served as a wake-up call for them.

At this point, everyone realized that the team was not safe. The ghost had broken the rule, and now everyone's life was in danger. Moreover, there was no turning back now. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and retrieve the ghost coffin. After all, if they didn't do it, they would not only be unable to leave alive, but they would also have to watch the ghost continue to revive.

Li Jun was not afraid. He was the first to rush forward, his body covered by a strange green light, like a will-o'-the-wisp flickering in mid-air in the darkness.

The others were just a step slower, but they didn't hesitate either.

This wasn't their first time dealing with paranormal events; they knew very well that when it came to risking their lives, they had to do it.

But at this moment.

A muffled impact sound came from inside the ghost coffin; the sound wasn't loud, but it made the coffin tremble.

The ghost standing in the coffin moved again. Its stiff body swayed slightly, and in the darkness, one leg stepped out of the coffin and landed outside.

From the beginning until now, the ghost has finally stepped out of the coffin.

However, its other foot is still inside the coffin.

Even so, an unpredictable terror is intensifying.

Just then, the others approached the ghost coffin.

They were less than a meter apart.

"Take the ghost coffin," Li Jun roared, reaching out to the ghost that had stepped out of it.

The bluish-green light dispelled the surrounding darkness, burning fiercely like will-o'-the-wisps, along with nearly half of his body. A burnt stench emanated from the flames, like the smell of a corpse being incinerated in a crematorium.

The pain contorted Li Jun's face.

His Ghost Domain actually originated from a ball of will-o'-the-wisp; the bluish-green glow of the Ghost Domain was actually the light of the will-o'-the-wisp.

If Li Jun overuses the power of this Ghost Domain, the ghostly fire will burn him into a dried-up corpse, and his dried-up corpse will become the vessel for the ghostly fire to revive, turning him into a terrifying ghost.

Therefore, he rarely squandered the ghost's power.

But now, it doesn't matter anymore; if we lose this time, everyone will die anyway.

The others chose to believe Li Jun and head straight for the ghost coffin, while also protecting Li Jun from other supernatural attacks.

However, the moment Li Jun touched the ghost...

The ghost has restarted.

However, this reboot was not the same as before. Instead, some kind of irreversible and terrifying change occurred. The ghost that Li Jun had captured did not disappear and was still standing in the ghost coffin, but the rebooting ability did not stop because of this.

Near the ghost coffin, another ghost coffin suddenly appeared. This ghost coffin was exactly the same as the one beside them. However, that was not the point. The point was that there was also a ghost standing inside that ghost coffin. This ghost was facing them, and in the light of the ghost fire, its black-skinned, expressionless dead face looked particularly eerie.

"How could this be?" Feng Quan, who was about to take the ghost coffin, was startled.

However, his shock was only just beginning.

Then a third ghost coffin appeared, with a ghost standing inside as well. This seemed to unlock some terrifying source, and soon a fourth ghost coffin appeared, followed by a fifth. In the end, their surroundings were densely packed with coffins, each with a ghost standing on it, and all the ghosts seemed to be staring at them.

Everyone froze upon seeing this.

Even Wang Xiaoming's eyes narrowed, as if he had witnessed the most unbelievable thing. He had considered what changes would occur after the ghost in the coffin was fully revived, but he never expected it to be like this.

"Hey, hey, you're kidding, right?"

A Ghost Tamer's voice trembled as he witnessed this scene.

Tong Qian and Feng Quan were also dumbfounded. They stood there, stunned, unsure of what to do next, because there was no longer just one ghost.

Looking around, hundreds of ghost coffins surrounded the group, meaning there were at least several hundred ghosts around them. Moreover, the ghosts standing inside these coffins were not just for show.

They saw that the ghosts in several nearby coffins had started to move, with one foot stiffly and slowly stepping out of the coffin, seemingly about to surround them.

Soon, the ghosts in dozens, even hundreds of coffins began to stir; all the ghosts were taking action.

"It's over."

At that moment, all thoughts of fighting, struggling, and surviving vanished from everyone's minds, leaving only a deep sense of despair.

What they saw made them realize what truly unsolvable paranormal events are.
