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

"Alright, have a good rest today."

The mysterious man spoke slowly.

His voice was deep and carried an unquestionable authority.

"The mission will begin tomorrow."

He added.

His words were full of profound meaning.

Although everyone was filled with doubt.

But faced with this unfathomable and mysterious man.

They still chose to obey.

The players gradually got up.

With mixed feelings, they returned to their own rooms.

The lobby quickly emptied out.

Only Yang Jian and the mysterious man remained.

And Qin Taotao.

Qin Taotao did not leave.

She simply stood quietly to the side, a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

She had a gut feeling.

More important information may follow.

Just as everyone left.

The mysterious man suddenly turned his gaze to Yang Jian.

His eyes were deep.

It's as if they can see right through people's hearts.

"What exactly do you want?"

He asked.

There was a subtle, almost imperceptible hint of inquiry in his voice.

Yang Jian's lips curled up in a smile.

It outlines a faint arc.

That smile carried a hint of playfulness, yet also a hint of confidence.

He did not answer directly.

Instead, she smiled gently.

"What I want is to end the entire paranormal era."

His words were understated.

But it resonated like a thunderclap in the mysterious man's heart.

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man...

He was stunned for a moment.

The teacup in his hand trembled slightly, and the tea almost spilled.

End of the paranormal era?

What a terrifying long-cherished wish this is.

To know.

Ghosts cannot be killed.

This is an ironclad rule in the supernatural world.

It is almost impossible to completely kill a ghost, yet the man in front of me claims that he can end the era of the supernatural.

This is arrogance to the extreme.

however.

The mysterious man quickly came to his senses.

He scrutinized Yang Jian carefully.

A complex light flashed in his eyes.

He had to admit it.

The man in front of me might actually have that opportunity.

He will never forget his experience in Huanggang Village.

In that village.

The abilities that Yang Jian has demonstrated.

It is unprecedented.

He is the only being capable of completely "devouring" vengeful spirits.

That strange and powerful ability overturned his understanding of the supernatural world.

If Yang Jian can become powerful enough.

Powerful enough to control all vengeful spirits.

Absorbed completely.

So.

A bizarre era.

Wouldn't it just end naturally?

The mysterious man took a deep breath.

He picked up his teacup again, the shock in his eyes gradually replaced by deep thought.

He looked at Yang Jian.

It was as if I were looking at a madman, or as if I were looking at a savior.

Qin Taotao stood to the side.

He overheard their entire conversation.

Her heart was also filled with turmoil.

End the era of the supernatural.

This goal.

It was so grand that it seemed unbelievable to her.

However, considering Yang Jian's previous display of ruthlessness and power...

She also felt that...

perhaps.

It's not impossible.

Yang Jian felt Qin Taotao's gaze.

He didn't say much, but the smile on his lips seemed even more unfathomable.

Night fell.

Xiping Ancient Town.

An unprecedented silence fell completely.

The hustle and bustle of the daytime.

At this moment, they all vanished.

The entire ancient town.

It was as if shrouded in an invisible veil.

It became completely silent.

This silence.

It is not a peaceful and tranquil place.

Instead, it was a chilling, deathly silence.

All the players knew perfectly well that this was just the calm before the storm.

The final tranquility.

Real terror.

just began.

Inside the inn, the players tossed and turned in their rooms.

They dared not fall into a deep sleep.

They were terrified that a ghost would knock on their door in the middle of the night, or that something even more terrifying would happen.

Everyone was on edge, their clothes soaked with sweat, and they tried to hold their breath, listening to the deathly silence outside the window.

The night grew darker.

Qin Taotao could clearly feel it.

The eerie atmosphere within Xiping Ancient Town is escalating at an alarming rate.

A cold, decaying smell permeated the air.

That was the unique aura of a vengeful ghost.

Inside the inn.

It also gave rise to a strong ghostly aura.

These ghostly auras.

Like an invisible tentacle.

Wandering through the corridors and corners of the inn.

They tried to break into the room, but seemed to be blocked by some force and were unable to enter.

Qin Taotao sensed the ghostly aura.

Her eyes became deep.

She knew it perfectly well.

just now.

This is the best time to find the truth about the mysterious lake.

During the day, they lurk mysteriously, and everything seems peaceful.

But at night, the evil spirits become active, and all sorts of supernatural events will erupt.

This was also the best time for her to act.

She cannot wait passively, much less sit idly by and await her doom.

Yang Jian's words.

The words still echoed in her ears.

"The more you give, the greater the rewards you will receive."

This sentence.

It's not just a temptation, it's a guide.

Qin Taotao took a deep breath.

She quickly tidied herself up, making sure she made no noise.

She pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

She did not hesitate or feel any fear.

in the real world.

Inside the command center.

Qin Taotao's actions were clearly displayed on the large screen.

The sight of her walking out of the room instantly caused a huge uproar.

"OMG!"

A technician exclaimed in surprise.

His voice broke the silence of the command center.

"Qin Taotao...she actually went out!"

"What?!"

"Is this insane?!"

"It's nighttime! Isn't she afraid of dying?"

Questions arose one after another, and the command center was in an uproar.

"The other players are all avoiding the evil spirit."

"But she went outside the room on her own initiative."

Someone said in disbelief.

"Isn't she afraid of dying?"

This sentence.

It voiced the question in everyone's mind.

"This Qin Taotao is incredibly bold!"

A senior analyst frowned.

"Is she really not afraid of being targeted by a vengeful ghost?"

"Is she overconfident in her abilities?"

"Or perhaps, she simply didn't grasp the horror of an S-class paranormal event?"

Various speculations and discussions filled the entire hall, and the live chat was instantly flooded with comments.

"Holy crap! Qin Taotao's up to something!"

"A warrior! A true warrior!"

"They dare to venture out at night to raid S-rank dungeons? I'm impressed!"

"Is she trying to get herself killed?!"

"No, I think she's very smart!"

"Are you serious, upstairs?!"

"Didn't Yang Jian say that the more you contribute, the richer the reward? Qin Taotao is trying to maximize her benefits!"

"That makes sense! Everyone else is holed up in their rooms, only she dares to come out. Isn't that 'sacrifice'?"

"But... isn't this too risky? What's the point of a reward if we lose our lives?"

"Fortune favors the bold! Qin Taotao is going to take a gamble!"

"She must have understood the deeper meaning behind Yang Jian's words and wanted to uncover the truth about the Ghost Lake!"

"If she finds any crucial clues, the reward will be absolutely unprecedented!"

"Why do I feel like she's trying to use her 'ordinary person' identity to avoid the corrupting influence of the haunted lake?"

"Possibly! Didn't Yang Jian say that ordinary people aren't susceptible to the corrupting influence of the Ghost Lake? Perhaps she's trying to take advantage of that!"

"This is like dancing on a knife's edge! One wrong step, and it's all over!"

"But if she succeeds, she'll soar to new heights!"

"I'm starting to look forward to it. This Qin Taotao always manages to do something unexpected."

"Her performance in Huanggang Village was already outstanding, and now it seems she's a very ambitious player!"

"These kinds of players either die young, or they become true powerhouses!"

"She's gambling! Gambling with her life, gambling with her future!"

"This is going to be interesting; the night in Xiping Ancient Town is destined to be anything but peaceful!"

The discussion on the live chat was extremely heated, with people having mixed opinions on Qin Taotao's actions.

But without exception.

Everyone was amazed by her courage.

At that very moment, inside the command center, an analyst sitting in front of a screen suddenly realized something.

He suddenly stood up, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Yang Jian said so!"

He said loudly.

It attracted everyone's attention.

In Xiping Ancient Town.

The more you give, the more you contribute.

"The greater the reward, the richer the reward."

His words were like a wake-up call, instantly enlightening many people present.

All eyes were once again focused on the screen.

Focus on that figure resolutely moving forward in the dark corridor.

"If Qin Taotao could uncover the truth about Xiping Ancient Town!"

The analyst's voice trembled slightly.

"So.

"She will receive the greatest reward!"

This sentence.

This plunged the command center into silence once again.

But this time.

In silence.

It was filled with shock and deep thought.

They began to re-examine Qin Taotao's actions.

She may not be reckless.

She knows very well what she should do at what time.

Now......

It was nighttime.

When all players dare not make any rash moves, then... the chances of finding the truth are much greater!
