The Danger of a Ghost Blending into the Crowd

"Has everyone in the village entered this nightmare?"

At that moment, Yang Jian realized how serious the situation was. He had never expected what had initially been a minor supernatural incident to suddenly develop into this. Nor was it certain that only one village had been affected. Perhaps the nearby villages and even the county town were under the evil ghost's influence.

"Ow!"

Jiang Yan cried out in pain. When she saw the bite mark on her slender arm, she froze.

"It's useless. Pain can't break this nightmare. Forget biting yourself—even if someone stabbed you, you wouldn't wake up. And if you die in the dream, you'll really die in reality. Do you remember that girl named Lin Xiaoxi from this afternoon?"

"I see." Jiang Yan could not help but shudder.

"Then what do we do? How can we escape this nightmare and wake up?"

Though uneasy, she remained fairly calm. After all, Jiang Yan was an ordinary person who had experienced two supernatural incidents. Her mental fortitude was already quite good.

"There's a ghost in the dream. It's hiding among the crowd. Find it and kill it, and this nightmare will end."

Yang Jian said calmly, "But I'll handle that. Don't get involved. Go back to your room and stay there obediently. Lock the door, and once I kill the ghost, you'll naturally wake from the dream."

With that, he immediately prepared to head downstairs and leave the old house to search the village for the ghost.

"Wait, wait."

Jiang Yan hurriedly grabbed Yang Jian's arm, looking pitiful. "I'm scared when you're not around. How about taking me with you? I promise
