Yang Jian's Revival?

"We should investigate what exactly happened."

After Huang Ziya's problem was resolved, Yang Jian's deep voice echoed through the empty room, like a vengeful ghost whispering.

He is still maintaining the fourth layer of the Ghost Domain, without any change.

Maintaining his pre-death state is the safest approach, as it allows him to conceal himself and isolate himself from outside information. At least so far, he hasn't been attacked, which means it has had some effect. Even if it hadn't, one shouldn't actively disrupt the balance.

The sound seemed to still echo in the room when Yang Jian had already disappeared.

He returned to the same street as before.

He stood where he had died before.

A pool of congealed blood on the ground was still clearly visible, and some fragments that had fallen from the corpse were still preserved.

In addition, Yang Jian saw the satellite positioning phone lying next to him, as well as the strange music box.

Huang Ziya hadn't taken the music box with her before, nor had he asked Huang Ziya to do so, because who knew if the music box's curse would infect a second person? So the safest way was to leave it here and not worry about it. Anyway, Yang Jian couldn't possibly lose anything in the fourth layer of the Ghost Domain.

Yang Jian picked up his satellite-guided phone and found a text message on it.

"Yang Jian has been involved in an unknown supernatural event and is suspected to be dead."

"It's a notification from Headquarters. They must have confirmed my condition via Headquarters phone and believe I might be dead," Yang Jian thought, but then frowned. "Wait, this information isn't right. How can Headquarters be so sure I died from a paranormal event? Or has it been confirmed over there?"

He suspected his attack might have been deliberate, but Headquarters classified it as a paranormal event.

This contradicted his own assumptions.

"I need to get some clarification." Yang Jian prepared to contact his operator Liu Xiaoyu.

But then he discovered that there was no cell phone signal and he couldn't make any calls.

Joke.

This phone was able to maintain communication even during the Starvation Ghost Incident; its own four-layered Ghost Domain couldn't block the signal at all, and many passersby were able to make calls for help.

"Headquarters cut off my signal." Yang Jian's eyes flickered. He discovered that in addition to being unable to make calls, many of the phone's functions were also locked.

This is a software self-protection program designed to prevent information leaks. Unless Headquarters actively unlocks it, many functions will not be enabled. When he obtained Zhou Zheng's satellite positioning phone, he could only passively wait for the operator to contact him; he had no way to contact the operator himself.

"The information indicated a suspected death, but this action almost certainly confirms that I am dead. Otherwise, why would they cut off the signal? If I were still alive, wouldn't that be a huge operational error?"

There's a problem.

Although Yang Jian is young, he is extremely sensitive to anything illogical because he has been exposed to many dangerous supernatural events.

He felt that his previous bizarre attack and the Headquarters' illogical attitude seemed to be deliberately covering something up. If he had simply encountered a supernatural event, the Headquarters would definitely have sent someone to rescue him, just like when Wang Xiaoming was trapped in the ghost Ghost Domain of the Ghost Messenger messengers last time.

However, now...

Yang Jian's gaze pierced through the Ghost Domain, allowing him to clearly see everything around him.

The entire area was sealed off.

Apart from Huang Ziya, who had left earlier, the Ping An Hotel was completely empty.

There wasn't a single vehicle on the street.

"Is this preparation for my resurgence as a vengeful ghost? Does that mean I'm being treated like a dead person?" All signs indicate that, to outsiders, Yang Jian is already a dead Ghost Tamer.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to handle it this way.

"I need to find someone to get to the bottom of this, and I have to do it discreetly."

Yang Jian felt that since Headquarters was treating him like a dead man, he could pretend to be dead for a while and disappear from everyone's sight, but he had to find out the truth.

Liu Xiaoyu.

Yang Jian thought of her.

Since Liu Xiaoyu is both a member of Headquarters and his personal operator, she should know some things, and since she is just an ordinary person, nothing unexpected will happen when he contacts her.

At this time, Liu Xiaoyu should be at Headquarters.

Going there openly and honestly is definitely not an option; the situation there is more complicated than you might imagine.

"However, at this point, why should I worry about so much? Since Headquarters believes I'm dead, then I'll let them know what happens after I'm gone."

Yang Jian casually tossed aside his phone and picked up the music box that was still cursing him.

Then he opened his Ghost Eye.

This time, he didn't just open four of his Ghost Eye; all nine of Ghost Eye opened.

As long as the Ghost Domain overlaps by no more than four layers, it will not affect the music box's curse; this has been proven. Opening a five-layered Ghost Domain for a short period of time will also have no effect. As for whether opening it for a long period of time will have any effect, Yang Jian doesn't know, but he feels that he doesn't need to take such a risk, since the current situation is not as bad as he imagined.

The next moment.

The Ghost Domain that had covered the entire street began to expand rapidly, at a speed that was almost unbelievable.

In a short period of time, it had already covered three or four nearby streets, then almost an entire urban area, and then a small part of the city. And this area is still expanding.

However, Yang Jian was unable to maintain four layers of the Ghost Domain under such a large-scale situation, and could only choose to maintain three layers of the Ghost Domain.

If the scope is to be expanded further, then it will become a two-layered Ghost Domain.

But three layers of Ghost Domain are enough.

More than half of the city is covered, including the Headquarters.

Yang Jian stood on the street, his nine Ghost Eye overlapping into three, emitting an eerie red light, forming three Ghost Domain. These three Ghost Domain, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle in a ghost painting, were pieced together to form a larger Ghost Domain.

This moment.

Almost all the Ghost Tamer in the city sensed it.

"This is..." Li Jun, who had been observing the situation nearby, suddenly looked up.

Ordinary people wouldn't notice, but he saw it clearly. The whole world seemed to be covered by red light, and a feeling of being watched by an eerie gaze welled up in his heart. He looked around and found that the area covered by the red light had exceeded his imagination. Everything within his sight was shrouded in it.

"Has Yang Jian's ghost been resurrected?"

Li Jun felt a chill run down his spine; his worst fears had come true.

"Yang Jian's Ghost Domain?" Zhang Lei was taken aback, slightly surprised, in a restaurant near the hotel.

"Hey, hey, hey, seriously? Are they already starting to cause trouble?" Cao Yang, who was walking on a street, stopped in his tracks, his face unusually grave.

He also discovered how terrifying this Ghost Domain was.

In an instant, it seemed as if most of the city was covered, without warning or time to react.

It's like a nightmare is about to begin.

"This is terrible."

Guo Fan, who was in a villa in the city, was stunned. The joy he had felt upon hearing of Yang Jian's death vanished.

"I told you before, don't be too happy about Yang Jian's death. Now look what's happened." Zhong Shan, standing to the side, frowned and looked out the window.

A world bathed in red light, devoid of any other color.

Headquarters.

There is one area that is unaffected by the Ghost Domain, but other places are not immune.

"Hmm?" In one of the rooms, an elderly man with age spots and a cloudy, lifeless gaze moved slightly and looked in Yang Jian's direction.

"Waaah!"

In a dormitory room, Liu Xiaoyu lay on her bed, buried in her pillow, still grieving over Yang Jian's death. She was completely oblivious to her surroundings and seemed unaware of anything around her.

Ping An Building is also within the Ghost Domain's coverage area.

The group, who were discussing how to collect Yang Jian's body, were all stunned at this moment.

"It's Yang Jian's Ghost Domain. The color, the feeling of being watched—there's no doubt the ghost inside him has emerged." Jiang Shangbai suddenly stood up, ran to the window, and looked outside. His face immediately darkened. "The area is astonishingly large; half the city is gone."

He can determine which places are under the influence of the Ghost Domain and which are not by looking at certain iconic buildings.

It was precisely because he had figured it out that Jiang Shangbai's expression was so grim.

"Damn, are you kidding me? Half the city has already recovered?" Someone jumped up from their chair, looking incredulous.

Jiang Shangbai pointed into the distance and said, "It's easy to spot. That building over there is no light coming out. If you start counting from there, half of the city is considered small by now. Luckily, the Ghost Domain extends towards the suburbs; otherwise, an entire city would be within its coverage area."

"So, does that mean we could be attacked by ghosts at any time from now on?" Some people expressed deep concern.
