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

These are the souls of the dead.

Under the influence of the mysterious man's power, he temporarily forgot the fact that he was dead and regained his memories and humanity from his previous life.

They started talking about their experiences here, just like real tourists.

This scene.

This not only shocked Qin Taotao.

Furthermore, through live streaming footage,

It was clearly presented to everyone in the real world.

Inside the command center, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the unbelievable scene on the screen, their minds blank.

"What... what kind of ability is this?" an analyst murmured, his voice trembling.

"He... he can actually restore human nature to ghosts? Make them forget that they are dead?"

"This is terrifying! This is something only a god could possess!"

On the screen (bullet comments).

It exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! What am I seeing? Are gods descending to earth?"

"Who is that man? Why is he so awesome? He made ghosts talk and even let them chat about their travel experiences?"

"This is beyond my understanding of the paranormal! This ability is way too overpowered!"

"Back in Huanggang Village, I felt that the man who came out of the coffin was no ordinary person. Now it seems he's more than just ordinary; he's a monster!"

"What exactly is his relationship with Yang Jian? Why are they both so perverted?"

"Isn't this dungeon a bit too difficult? Every NPC seems ridiculously strong."

"Qin Taotao can actually sit and chat so easily with such a big shot, she's amazing!"

"Now I finally understand why Yang Jian said the more you give, the better. Following a big shot like him, even a casual pointer is enough to benefit you for a lifetime!"

The shock of the real world.

It did not affect the wine shops in Xiping Ancient Town.

The mysterious man listened quietly to the conversation of the "tourists," but his brows gradually furrowed.

Obviously.

This information was not the answer he was looking for.

What he wanted to know was the root cause of the strange changes at the mysterious lake.

Just as the atmosphere in the tavern fell into an eerie peace, a "tourist" who had been silent in the corner suddenly spoke.

His voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of confusion.

"Speaking of which... I think I saw something strange."

His words.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"In the evening, I was taking a walk by the lake when I saw several villagers dressed in local clothing carrying a black coffin...and walking into the water!"

A black coffin!

These four words.

Like a thunderclap, it exploded in the mysterious man's mind!

His pupils suddenly contracted.

She suddenly raised her head and stared intently at the "tourist" who had spoken.

next moment.

He suddenly stood up, and his calm and composed demeanor vanished completely.

Instead.

It has an aura that is sharp to the extreme.

Without saying a word.

He turned and walked out of the wine shop.

Upon seeing this, Qin Taotao was startled and immediately stood up and hurriedly followed.

"senior!"

The two walked out of the liquor store one after the other and stood on the cold street again.

"I think I've found one of the reasons."

The mysterious man spoke without turning his head, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity.

He stopped in his tracks.

Looking in the direction of the ghost lake, his eyes became incredibly deep.

"The Ghost Lake was originally a prison used by the ghost tamers of our world to suppress vengeful spirits."

"And at the heart of the prison is a special... female corpse."

"Once the balance of the Ghost Lake is disrupted, the consequences will be devastating."

"The movement of that black coffin is very likely... the most important factor causing the imbalance in the supernatural phenomena!"

These are the man's words.

The sheer volume of information sent shockwaves through Qin Taotao's mind.

Is the Mysterious Lake a prison?

Suppressing evil spirits?

A female corpse?

All of this was far beyond her imagination.

"Would you like to come with me to the haunted lake?"

The man suddenly turned his head and looked at Qin Taotao, asking her a question.

"go!"

Qin Taotao nodded heavily without the slightest hesitation.

she knows.

This may be the closest she has ever come to the truth.

The two stopped talking.

His figure moved swiftly through the darkness, heading towards the Ghost Lake.

soon.

They then arrived at the area where the Ghost Lake was located.

As soon as we got close.

Qin Taotao felt a chilling aura, a hundred times stronger than that in the ancient town, rushing towards her, making her blood feel like it was freezing.

The scene before my eyes.

This made her gasp in shock.

The lake, which should have been calm, was now swollen with water, and the water level had already overflowed the banks.

The lake water was murky and icy cold.

It is constantly overflowing outwards, slowly spreading towards the ancient town.

"The lake water... has overflowed."

The mysterious man's voice was extremely heavy.

"The lake is a cage that imprisons evil spirits."

"The lake water is overflowing."

"This means that the vengeful spirits imprisoned at the bottom of the lake will appear in places where they shouldn't be, carried by the flowing lake water."

"The tragedy of Xiping Ancient Town, the deaths of those tourists, came about because of this."

He pointed to the rising lake level, his tone tinged with urgency.

"If the lake continues to overflow like this..."

"Before long, the cage-like effect of the Ghost Lake will be completely broken, and then those things suppressed in its deepest depths will reappear in the world!"

Qin Taotao's heart sank to the bottom.

She finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"So what should we do now?"

She asked hurriedly.

"We must find the female corpse that is the core and restore the balance of the Ghost Lake."

The man said it with absolute certainty.

Qin Taotao's gaze.

It was thrown into that bottomless, pitch-black lake, like the mouth of a giant beast.

The lake water was icy cold.

Who knows how many terrifying and vengeful ghosts are lurking within.

Should we go down and search for that so-called female corpse?

What's the difference between this and courting death?

A slight hesitation arose in her heart.

The man seemed to see through her thoughts, and suddenly smiled and shook his head.

"Of course not now."

He explained:

"The water of the Ghost Lake is very special; for us ghost tamers, it's like a leech clinging to our bones."

"Once contact is made."

"It will be constantly eroded by it, and eventually sink completely to the bottom of the lake, becoming a part of it."

"Therefore, this matter requires the assistance of ordinary people."

"at the same time……"

The man's gaze became meaningful. "We also need the assistance of that 'exceptional'."

Qin Taotao's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly understood who he was talking about.

Yang Jian!

Ghosts cannot be killed; this is an ironclad rule of the supernatural world.

Yang Jian was the only exception.

"Only he can truly 'deal with' those things that came out of the lake."

The man continued.

"Only if he goes with us can we completely control the Ghost Lake, prevent its power from continuing to erode and spread, and achieve a permanent solution."

Qin Taotao understood.

To solve the problem of the mysterious lake, the forces of all three parties must be united.

Led by a mysterious man.

A demon tamer who possesses core intelligence and special abilities.

Yang Jian was the leader.

An "exception" with unsolvable abilities.

as well as.

Those "ordinary people" who will not be eroded by the waters of the Mysterious Lake.

Just as the two were about to turn around and leave to go back and discuss their next move.

Qin Taotao finally couldn't suppress her curiosity any longer.

He opened his mouth and asked:

"Senior, you said before that we can't let the tragedy repeat itself... What did you mean by that?"

The mysterious man stopped and remained silent for a moment.

Instead of answering directly, he asked in return:

"Guess where the ghosts in this eerie lake originally came from?"

Qin Taotao was stunned.

The man turned around, looked into her eyes, and said, word by word:

"They all came from that woman's corpse."

"That corpse, from the very beginning, was a cage; it itself controlled all the vengeful spirits."

"A long time ago."

"Our world was transformed into a ghost realm because the seal was broken by the complete eruption of the Ghost Lake."

His voice was very soft.

Yet it carried a chilling heaviness.

"And now, history is about to repeat itself."

"The Ghost Lake is about to erupt once again."

"And the result of this outbreak..."

The man gave Qin Taotao a deep look.

"In your world, something eerie has descended."

boom!

In Qin Taotao's mind, it felt as if a billion thunderbolts were exploding at the same time!

She instantly thought of the letter sent to the real world, and the shocking warning in it.

"Seven days later, the strange phenomenon reappeared!"

So that's what it meant!

If no intervention is taken.

Seven days later, the water level of the Ghost Lake will rise to its limit, completely breaking through its restraints and overflowing...

The real world!

By that time.

The whole world will become like Xiping Ancient Town!
