A bizarre resurrection: I, Yang Jian, am bound by a contract with the school beauty!

Immediately, public sentiment was agitated.

The fragile alliance, previously built out of fear, crumbled instantly under the influence of suspicion and self-interest.

finally.

Led by Jack, a dozen or so players from the United States, Japan, and other countries that were not friendly to Kyushu resolutely chose to leave the group.

In their view.

This is not only to improve efficiency, but also to stay away from Qin Taotao, a huge potential threat.

In the Chang City instance.

Those who died first were often the ones closest to Yang Jian.

Those who hid on the fringes were the ones who survived to the end.

They remember this bloody lesson very clearly!

Faced with the departure of these dozen or so people.

Qin Taotao watched quietly from beginning to end, her face showing no emotion whatsoever.

She neither tried to persuade him to stay nor offered any rebuttal.

Because she didn't know if her choice was right.

The ghost driver's warning.

This was before entering the village. It sensed the terror there and felt safer gathered together.

But now.

They were trapped.

Does this mean...?

Has the situation changed?

Bringing so many people along makes us a huge target.

If separation is the only way out, then she can't stop it.

"Your fate is your own choice."

Qin Taotao simply said something and then turned away, no longer looking at them.

"Hmph, let's go!"

Jack sneered, and with his dozen or so "smart guys," resolutely turned around and walked in another direction.

The real world.

The live stream chat was already in an uproar.

"My God! They really broke up! Those idiots! Didn't they see the warning in the last chapter, 'Being alone means certain death'?!"

"Upstairs, players in the instance can't see those narration prompts; they have to rely on their own judgment."

"But Jack's analysis also makes a lot of sense!"

"Have you all forgotten what Qin Taotao did in Changshi?"

"How many people did she and Yang Jian kill together?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't dare to entrust my back to her either!"

In the live stream room of the United States, there was even more jubilation.

An official analyst specializing in paranormal events is speaking eloquently to the camera:

"This was an absolutely correct and decisive decision!"

"Jack demonstrated the courage and wisdom expected of a leader!"

"First, he saw through the dungeon's mechanics; 'gathering' is a trap!"

Secondly, he saw through the wickedness of human nature and was not fooled by Qin Taotao's pretense!

"That's right! That Qin Taotao is a beautiful snake!"

"In Chang City, if it weren't for her and Yang Jian, the Hungry Ghost wouldn't have been able to grow so quickly, and at least half the players would have died!"

"She's an accomplice!"

"Expecting her to have a change of heart now? Don't be ridiculous!"

"The closer you are to the center of danger, the faster you die!"

"Stay away from Qin Taotao, and you'll stay away from the biggest danger! I believe Jack and his team will soon find a way out and be the first to complete their mission!"

After this analysis by these "experts".

Audiences around the world seemed to understand Jack and the others' choice.

Distrust.

Ultimately, it stems from a deep-seated distrust.

They didn't believe Qin Taotao would really help them. They even thought that Qin Taotao leading everyone away was a huge conspiracy to wipe them out in one fell swoop!

however.

What they didn't know was...

Just as Jack and his group broke away from the main force and walked less than fifty meters away...

The thick fog behind them.

As if it had a life of its own, it began to surge and writhe violently.

The fog became even thicker.

The darkness, now a tangible entity, completely severed their line of sight from Qin Taotao's large force.

Followed by.

Deep within that churning, thick fog.

A bizarre figure, indescribable in words, appeared silently.

It has no fixed form.

It resembled a walking shadow, or a piece of space that had been cut out.

Its very existence.

This represents an extreme form of "mistake" and "ominousness".

A vengeful ghost has appeared.

Like a patient hunter, it silently followed behind Jack's small team of a dozen men, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

It did not act immediately.

It is waiting.

Or.

Enjoy watching your prey slowly walk towards its death.

Meanwhile, Jack and his companions, completely unaware of this, were immersed in the joy of "gaining their freedom."

"Look! We can walk now!"

"One player exclaimed in surprise."

After separating from the main force, the invisible wall disappeared.

The fog in front of them.

Although it still exists, it is no longer an insurmountable obstacle.

They really made it out of the area where they were trapped!

"I told you! Gathering together is a trap!"

Jack grinned smugly. "Let Qin Taotao and those idiots stay trapped there! Let's go get our reward!"

"Jack is brilliant!"

"Hahaha, we made the right bet!"

The morale of the dozen or so people was greatly boosted.

The previous fear vanished, replaced by a sense of relief at surviving a disaster and boundless anticipation for the future.

They quickened their pace.

In this mist-shrouded village, we can explore deeper without hindrance.

Gradually.

They passed through a cluster of collapsed houses and arrived at a relatively open area.

The fog here is thinner than in other places.

And in the very center of that open space.

A huge and strange coffin suddenly came into their view!

It was a completely black wooden coffin.

The style is simple and unadorned.

It is carved with some strange patterns that have long since become blurred.

It just sat there quietly.

It seemed to have existed for thousands of years, exuding an aura of desolation and foreboding.

found it!

They actually found it!

"It's a coffin! We've found our mission target!"

"Oh my god! We did it! We're about to complete our mission!"

Overjoyed, a wave of excitement instantly swept over the dozen or so people!

They trembled with excitement as they looked at the black coffin, as if it were a stairway to heaven.

The real world.

At this moment, everything completely boiled over.

In the live streams from countries like the United States and Japan, thunderous cheers erupted.

"Found them! Jack and the others have been found! I knew they made the right choice!"

"Too fast!"

"Less than twenty minutes have passed since I left the group!"

"As it turns out, following that Qin Taotao was a dead end!"

"Hahaha! The Kingdom of Kyushu is going to miscalculate this time!"

"Their players are still stuck in place, while our hero is about to complete the mission and receive the reward from the Mysterious Heavenly Path!"

"Become a Demon Tamer!"

"Jack and his team will become the first true demon tamers in our nation! This marks a new era in human evolution!"
