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

The other side of the world.

The Kingdom of the Angry Sea.

The highest operational command center.

The atmosphere here is the complete opposite of the somber and oppressive atmosphere in Kyushu.

When I saw the text message on Su Qiaoqiao's phone and heard that clear tapping sound...

A brief silence fell over the entire command center.

Immediately, a low, suppressed laugh, tinged with schadenfreude, erupted.

"BINGO!"

A blond, blue-eyed white general with a star on his shoulder leaned back comfortably in his chair, snapped his fingers, and wore a mocking smile.

"It seems our little princess of Kyushu isn't having much luck."

As the country with the most completed bizarre dungeons in the world.

The Kingdom of the Angry Sea has a far deeper understanding of the rules of the "strange world" than any other country.

"Your Excellency, the intelligence analysis team has just delivered its latest conclusions."

A voluptuous female secretary approached the general and reported, "They are 100% certain that the vengeful spirit that Kyushu encountered this time has a pattern of killing: a 'knocking sound'!"

"Oh?"

The general raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "Have they figured out what will happen next?"

The female secretary's lips curled into a confident yet cruel smile.

"certainly."

"For the 'ghosts' of the eerie world to descend into reality, they must use the lives of 'players' as 'sacrifices' to completely complete the killing cycle."

"In other words..."

"If Su Qiaoqiao manages to hold out until dawn, or even walks out of that school alive."

"Then the ritual to bring this vengeful ghost to life will fail, and it will be imprisoned in that instance forever until the next unlucky soul chooses it."

"However, there's no guarantee that the ghost will have another chance to be chosen."

"so,"

"In order to come into our 'wonderful' world, it has only one choice—"

The female secretary paused for a moment.

His gaze fell upon the Kyushu girl on the screen, who was completely overwhelmed by fear, and he spoke, word by word:

"Kill Su Qiaoqiao at all costs, before she can escape school!"

"Hehe... Hahahaha!"

The general could no longer contain himself and burst into hearty laughter.

"Interesting! So interesting!"

"I can almost see it: our greatest rival, that sleeping lion of the East, being torn apart bit by bit by the ravages of vengeful spirits, reduced to ruins!"

"Pass on my orders!"

"Get all media outlets ready; I want to witness the 'spectacular' collapse of Kyushu's national destiny as soon as possible!"

"As long as Kyushu is destroyed."

"In this world, no other country can shake the dominant position of our Angry Sea Kingdom!"

……

A bizarre world.

On the square.

The thick, impenetrable black mist seemed to come alive at that moment.

They were no longer just mist, but had turned into a viscous, cold, and incredibly resistant gel-like substance that was frantically squeezing Su Qiaoqiao's body from all sides.

It's like being stuck in a quagmire!

Every time you lift your foot, every inch you move forward requires a tremendous amount of effort!

This is……

The suppression of the Ghost Realm!

That ghost.

It's using its power to restrict its own movements! It doesn't want to escape!

"No...no!"

Su Qiaoqiao felt the increasingly heavy pressure on her body, and the fear in her heart finally reached its peak!

She doesn't want to die!

She absolutely cannot die here!

Her strong will to survive led her to unleash her last bit of strength.

She suddenly raised her head.

She screamed hysterically at the figure so close yet so far away.

"Yang Jian! What are you waiting for?!"

"Clear the way!!"

"That ghost...that ghost is catching up! It's going to kill me! I'm going to die here!!"

Her voice was harsh and shrill, full of command.

Under the threat of death, she had completely lost her mind.

All she wants now is for Yang Jian, this inhumanly powerful "tool," to clear away all obstacles for her and lead her away from this hell!

however.

Yang Jian still ignored her.

even.

There wasn't even the slightest reaction.

He stood there quietly, like an emotionless statue, his gaze calmly sweeping across the churning darkness ahead.

there.

The "thump thump thump" knocking sound has quietly stopped.

Instead.

It was a series of heavy, stiff, and highly rhythmic footsteps.

thump...

thump...

thump...

Every step felt like it was stepping on everyone's heart, making countless viewers in the live stream feel palpitations and suffocation!

coming!

It's here!

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, some filled with fear, some with tension, some with curiosity, and some with schadenfreude.

The darkness, as thick as ink, was slowly pushed aside by an invisible force.

Followed by.

A hunched, thin figure emerged step by step from the pure darkness.

Was it a... "person"?

Do not!

That's definitely not human!

It was wearing a tattered gray long gown, an old-fashioned style that looked like something from the last century.

Its body exhibits an eerie stiffness and distortion.

Each step.

The joints made a cracking sound, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment.

And when its face was completely exposed to everyone.

"hiss--!"

Countless people around the world gasped at the same moment!

What a face that was!

The skin was a lifeless, waxy gray, clinging tightly to the bones, and the cheeks were deeply sunken.

The scariest thing is...

On that waxy gray skin, there were large patches of dark purple and brown spots!

Lividity!

Those are clearly the marks that appear after a person dies... lividity!

Its eyes were two bottomless holes.

There is no white in the eye, and no pupil.

There was only a deathly silence, a darkness so profound it could swallow up all light...

ghost!

This is the one whose voice is heard but whose form is never seen... the knocking ghost!

It has finally appeared!

The appearance of a ghost.

The temperature in the entire square seemed to plummet to below freezing!
