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

His voice echoed in the empty, deathly silent passageway.

Every single word.

It all felt like a huge boulder, pressing down on everyone's hearts.

Upon hearing these words,

The players following behind him looked at each other, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Although they did not know just how terrifying the "staring ghost" was.

But just hearing the phrase "eye contact is certain death" is enough.

One can imagine what an unsolvable murder pattern that is.

Then,

A strange feeling, a mixture of relief and lingering fear, uncontrollably arose from the depths of their hearts.

They instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from what the mysterious man said, a huge threat from the bottom of the lake, a terrifying god of death, has been "replaced" on the surface.

just now.

Those who need to confront that horror are the companions who chose to retreat and opted for the "safe" path.

And here they are.

seem……

The danger has actually decreased significantly?

This idea of ​​sacrificing one's friend rather than oneself, though seemingly selfish and cold-blooded, is the most authentic psychological reflection under such extreme circumstances.

As they watched the mysterious man's resolute downward-facing back, the last trace of wavering in their hearts vanished completely.

Follow along!

We must continue!

……

The real world.

At this moment, the atmosphere in command centers around the world became incredibly eerie.

This is especially true for countries that were previously feeling fortunate that their players had made "wise" choices.

now,

Inside their command center, the air seemed to have frozen.

Gaul

Strategic command center.

The white-haired general who had just been full of praise, commending Bruno for making "the most correct choice."

now,

The expression on his face had completely frozen.

He opened his mouth.

It felt like a ball of scalding cotton was stuffed into my throat, and I couldn't utter a single word.

The analyst next to him was deathly pale.

On the forehead,

Cold sweat broke out instantly.

Making eye contact... certain death?

This……

What an absurd and terrifying rule this is!

"General...we...we'll contact the players immediately!"

"Tell him! Tell him to close his eyes! Tell him not to look at anything!"

A young liaison officer shouted, his voice trembling.

"Too late..."

The white-haired general slumped back in his chair, his eyes filled with despair and defeat.

"In that pitch-black darkness, in an environment where an attack could occur at any moment."

"A person's first reaction."

"It's about keeping your eyes wide open and searching for the source of danger...it's instinct!"

"What's more, they don't even know the enemy's killing patterns!"

"By the time they realized the danger, I'm afraid... more than one person had already seen that ghost."

His words plunged the entire command center into a deathly silence.

Everyone understood.

When those dozen or so players chose to turn around and step into that darkness devoid of light, their fate was perhaps already sealed.

That was the path to survival they thought they had taken.

In reality, it's a one-way street to hell!

[My God! Eye contact means certain death? What level of vengeful ghost is this? This rule is too tyrannical!]

[It's over... Bruno and his crew are completely finished!]

In the dark, how can you guarantee you won't make eye contact with a ghost?

Especially when you don't even know the rules!

【I see!】

Why was that player's account suddenly cut in half?

He must have seen something in the dark, made eye contact with that ghost, and then triggered the rule that meant certain death!

[This is hopeless! There's no way to win!]

[This can't even be called a battle! It was a one-sided massacre!]

Did Yang Jian and that mysterious person from Kyushu already know?

[So that's why they rushed down so desperately? Because they knew it was more dangerous up there than down there!]

Those who backed down made the wrong choice!

They thought they had chosen the path to survival, but in reality, they had walked headlong into the gates of hell!

A global audience.

After a brief moment of shock, a massive uproar erupted.

Those previous comments supporting players' retreat and deeming it a wise move now seem so pale and laughable.

All eyes.

They were all glued to that dark live stream screen belonging to Bruno and the others.

they know,

A bloody massacre, sparked by ignorance, is about to unfold in that darkness!

……

A bizarre dungeon, upper level of the spiral passage.

Bruno and the remaining dozen or so players were gripped by an unprecedented fear.

Their companions.

Just now, right before their eyes, they were instantly dismembered in a way they could not comprehend at all.

There was no warning.

There was no trace of an attack.

They didn't even sense the slightest supernatural fluctuation.

It was so abrupt.

died.

"Gulp."

Someone swallowed hard, the sound unusually jarring in the deathly silence of the darkness.

"What...what was that just now?"

"I don't know... I didn't see anything..."

"Something! Something in the darkness! It killed Marcus!"

Panic is spreading, and reason is collapsing.

They were all newcomers who had just become ghost tamers, and the power they had stolen from the vengeful spirits gave them a false sense of power.

And at this moment,

This false facade was ruthlessly shattered by reality.

In reality,

Even in the face of ultimate terror, they remain so weak and powerless.

Splash...

The lake water was cold and smelled fishy.

It was still surging in from the darkness ahead, already reaching past their ankles.

The sound of flowing water,

It masked their heartbeats and gasps, but also brought a deeper omens of death.

Bruno forced himself to calm down.

He is the leader of this group; he cannot afford to lose his composure.

He activated the power of the vengeful ghost within him.

In the eyes,

A faint gray light appeared, attempting to penetrate the dense darkness and see what lay ahead.

His supernatural powers.

It comes from a "night-sighted ghost" whose vision in the dark is hundreds of times stronger than that of an ordinary person.

however.

Just as he raised his field of vision to its limit, his gaze fixed on the dark source of the surging water ahead.

And it was at this moment!

The Staring Ghost launched its attack once again!

For this terrifying ghost, which had been suppressed for countless years and whose power had been greatly diminished.

Slaughter,

It is the fastest and only way to restore strength.

It needs to devour the lives and fears of these intruders to make up for its own deficit.

attack,

Arrived as promised.

Bruno's pupils suddenly contracted!

At the edge of his gray-glowing vision, amidst the churning black water, he seemed to... see a blurry, gaunt silhouette.

That outline.

It just stood there quietly, as if it had existed since time immemorial.

He couldn't see its face or its appearance clearly.

He only saw it.

At the head of that silhouette, there were two faint, seemingly about-to-go red lights.

Like the eyes of a wild beast in the darkness.

It was the instant he saw those two red lights.

It was at that very moment that he and those two red lights locked eyes in the darkness.

"puff!"

A soft sound.

It wasn't Bruno.

Instead, she stood beside Bruno, her eyes wide with fear as she stared intently at the other player in front of her.

The player from the British Empire suddenly stiffened.

In his eyes.

All the brilliance vanished in that instant, leaving only emptiness and desolation.

Then,

His head, with its eyes wide open, looked like a water-filled balloon being gently punctured by an invisible needle.

"Bang!"

A dull, cracking sound!
