Inside the command center of the United States.

The silver-haired general slumped in his chair, looking utterly dejected, muttering to himself.

"He raised starving ghosts, not for gambling..."

"It's because he needs a sufficiently 'plump' prey to satisfy his own... 'hunger'!"

This is a guess.

It sent chills down everyone's spine.

They looked at the demon-like figure on the screen, their eyes filled with nothing but pure awe and fear.

……

The battle continues.

The vitality of starving ghosts is more tenacious than imagined.

Even though its body was dismembered into countless pieces and its consciousness was constantly burned by the ghost eye, it still did not die.

Those shattered pieces of flesh.

It continued to writhe frantically, devouring everything around it, trying to gather strength to break through the blockade of the woodcutter's knife.

Its survival instinct was brought to its extreme.

It finally realized.

The man before it was its invincible natural enemy!

Stay here.

The only outcome is that he will completely obliterate them, and then... devour them!

escape!

We must escape!

A clear idea formed in its chaotic consciousness.

But how can we escape?

This man's ghost realm has completely sealed off this space.

He was like a seasoned hunter, laying a trap and waiting for his prey to take the bait.

It was at this moment of despair.

A faint, lingering call from another dimension entered its consciousness.

That's... the real world!

It is the faint coordinates of consciousness left in the real world by the players who were devoured by it!

They are like lighthouses in a dark sea, pointing out the only way for it to survive!

if only……

As long as I can project my consciousness along these coordinates into that world, I can get rid of this terrifying man! I can survive!

This idea became its only lifeline.

The hungry ghost no longer tries to rebuild its body, nor does it resist the burning of the ghost eye.

It gave up all resistance.

It contracted and condensed all the remaining supernatural power, all the consciousness that was about to be erased, into a single point, and then...

It crashed violently towards those coordinates from a distant world!

"Trying to run away?"

The moment the hungry ghost made a move, Yang Jian sensed its intention.

The ghost eye on his forehead shone brightly red!

"Do you think you can escape from me!"

Yang Jian's voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion.

He swung the machete in his hand even faster.

Invisible blades of light, like the most precise meat grinder, began to frantically slicing through the shattered flesh.

He wanted to destroy all of the hungry ghost's manifestations in this world before its consciousness could escape!

The suppressive power of the Ghost Hand.

It was also pushed to its limit.

bluish-black lividity.

It even began to spread across half of Yang Jian's body.

The powerful supernatural suppression made the transmission of the starving ghost's consciousness extremely slow and difficult.

however.

The will to survive of an S-class vengeful ghost is ultimately terrifying.

Just as Yang Jian's wood-chopping knife was about to completely dismember the last piece of flesh into nothingness...

A faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation of consciousness still managed to tear through the barrier of space and vanish without a trace.

"laugh……"

As this last vestige of consciousness fled.

Within Changshi City.

All the remains of the starving ghosts instantly lost their eerie luster, turning into pools of meaningless black ash that drifted away in the wind.

That enveloped the entire city.

The suffocating gray area, like the receding tide, quickly dissipated.

The dark red of the sky began to fade.

The distorted space returned to normal.

That hunger that devoured everything also completely disappeared.

The battle is over.

Yang Jian hovered silently in mid-air, expressionless, watching the direction where the last wisp of consciousness disappeared, his brows slightly furrowed.

In the end, some of them still managed to escape.

Although they escaped.

It was only less than one percent of the original consciousness of the starving ghost, and it was in an extremely weak state.

But it's an S-class vengeful ghost.

As long as a spark remains, there is a possibility of it reigniting.

However, Yang Jian didn't care.

He slowly opened his mouth.

A suction force emanated from his mouth.

The ownerless supernatural power belonging to the starving ghosts, scattered in the city ruins, turned into streams of gray air and were all absorbed into his stomach.

A sense of satisfaction welled up from deep within his body.

[Playing progress increased to 65%]

[Unlock Ability: Reboot]

[Note: It can restart its own state for a certain period of time; the cooldown time depends on the extent of the restart.]

A slight smile appeared on Yang Jian's lips.

Although some of the soup was lost, we still got to eat the main course.

With the complete departure of the hungry ghost.

The entire Changshi instance began to become unstable.

A dark sky.

Like a shattered mirror, cracks appeared.

The bizarre and fantastical scene began to fade.

This terrifying mission to deliver the message has come to an end.

In some corner of the city.

Several surviving players emerged from the ruins where they were hiding.

Their faces turned deathly pale.

He was trembling all over.

Gazing at the god-like figure in the sky, his eyes were filled with a mixture of relief and fear at surviving the ordeal.

They survived.

They successfully controlled the vengeful spirits and became extraordinary beings.

They did not die at the hands of the S-class vengeful ghost.

This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Just then, a cold system notification sounded in their minds.

[The second delivery mission is complete. Do you wish to leave the eerie world?]

"Leave! Leave! Leave now!"

Almost without hesitation, all the survivors screamed wildly in their hearts.

Are you kidding me!

This is only the second mission, and an S-rank starving ghost has already appeared, as well as a monster like Yang Jian who is beyond the standard!

Who knows what the third task will be?

Staying any longer would be a certain death!

Let's get back to the real world!

Although there are dangers there, at least... it won't be this hopeless!

A series of white lights flashed by.

The surviving players chose to evacuate without hesitation.
