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

Qin Taotao wanted to say something more.

Her lips moved slightly.

The words "But what will you do alone?" were already rising in my throat.

however,

She ultimately couldn't bring herself to say those words.

Because Yang Jian smiled.

At the bottom of that endless, deep lake, where even light cannot penetrate, before that black coffin exuding an aura of world destruction.

He turned his head.

He gave Qin Taotao a calm, even relaxed, smile.

That smile.

Without the slightest hint of reluctance.

Everything before my eyes—the impending resurgence of terror, the ancient guardians blocking my path—was nothing more than ordinary roadside scenery.

He didn't say anything.

But that smile was more powerful than any words.

Next second,

Yang Jian simply waved his hand casually and lightly.

It's an incredibly simple action.

however,

This very action seemed to have toppled the first domino, the one that held the fragile balance of the entire eerie lake in place!

That weapon exuded an ominous aura.

The firewood knife, which he had forcibly dismembered, lost its luster and was then retrieved.

The pale, stiff ghostly hand that had been pressing firmly against the black coffin, suppressing all restlessness, slowly rose up.

Double suppression.

At this moment, all is released!

Boom! ...

It was silent, yet it spoke volumes!

The entire bottom of the mysterious lake.

It was as if a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years had been completely detonated in that instant!

The black coffin, after losing its external suppression...

The coffin lid trembled violently.

Visible black cracks spread wildly across the coffin!

An indescribable, pure, extreme terror and despair, originating from the deepest part of the supernatural, surged wildly from the crack like a burst dam!

This force,

It was no longer the gradual seepage of before, but a gushing out! An explosion!

The lake water had just been forcibly calmed down by Yang Jian.

again,

No, it was ten or even a hundred times more ferocious than before, completely boiling over!

The silt, skeletons, and dilapidated ghosts that had been dormant for countless years at the bottom of the lake were all swept up at this moment.

This created a terrifying undercurrent mixed with death and curses.

up,

A frenzied upward surge!

A visible "tidal wave," formed by the mixture of pure supernatural power and high-density lake water, took shape at the bottom of the lake.

Then, with an overwhelming force that seemed poised to overturn the entire world, it swept in!

"No!"

Qin Taotao gasped in shock.

She instinctively tried to use her supernatural powers to resist.

however,

The speed of that wave was beyond her reaction limit!

Almost at the same time that Yang Jian released the suppression.

The terrifying giant wave had already slammed heavily onto her body.

but,

The expected tearing and pain did not come.

In the instant that giant wave crashed over us.

Yang Jian's last calm words flashed through Qin Taotao's mind.

"You must remember, the essence of the Ghost Lake is suppression!"

"And you, just need to unleash the full power of your inner spirit at the very moment you are swept up by the tide!"

"Then, this terrifying wave that should have torn you apart will become... the fastest ship to carry you away from here!"

In a flash, Qin Taotao had a sudden inspiration!

She gave up all futile resistance and all thoughts of defense.

Instead,

He unleashed the supernatural power within his body, which had just been promoted to A-level and which he had not yet fully mastered, without reservation!

Om-!

A thick, impenetrable mist instantly spread wildly outwards from her body!

In the mist.

The outline of a dilapidated taxi is faintly visible.

The roar of the engine.

In the dead silence of the lakebed, the sound was so clear and distinct!

this moment,

Qin Taotao is no longer a tiny human being trying to fight against the tide.

she,

It has become a massive, active, unstable, and dangerous... supernatural source!

The rules of the Ghost Lake have been violated!

It suppresses all supernatural phenomena!

When Qin Taotao pushed her supernatural abilities to the limit.

She was like a 10,000-watt searchlight in the dark night, instantly becoming the primary target of the entire Ghost Lake's "suppression" instinct!

That force should have torn her to pieces.

The terrifying tidal wave, swept into the endless dark current, came into contact with her bursting supernatural power the instant it touched the surface.

Its nature has undergone a subtle yet subversive change.

Rejection!

An incredibly powerful repulsive force.

From all directions,

Every corner of the Ghost Lake affected Qin Taotao!

as if.

The entire eerie lake seemed to be roaring angrily at her:

"Get out!"

Qin Taotao's body, along with the eerie mist surrounding her.

Enveloped by that enormous tidal wave.

Lifting,

With a terrifying speed comparable to a rocket launch, it rushed madly upwards along the spiral staircase passage that was in complete chaos due to the lake's turmoil!

Her gaze.

As it ascended rapidly, everything became blurred, and everything around it was stretched into distorted light and shadow.

She was powerless to struggle.

There's no need to struggle.

Before being completely swallowed by that force and swept towards that unknown "real world," she took one last look back.

At the bottom of that boiling, raging, apocalyptic lake, before that wildly cracking black coffin about to unleash ultimate terror.

Yang Jian.

That somewhat frail figure stood there quietly.

He was not swept away by the tide.

It felt as if a massive wave of ten thousand tons was crashing against him, yet also as gentle as a refreshing breeze.

His ghostly eyes gleamed with a cold and eerie red light.

He stared intently at the black coffin.

It was as if they were engaged in a silent confrontation with the will that was about to awaken in the coffin.

Alone, facing the abyss.

This scene,

Like a painting burned out with a hot iron.

Deeply,

It was etched into the deepest part of Qin Taotao's soul.

……

The real world.

The screens in command centers around the world were completely overwhelmed by the frenzied flow of data the instant the terrifying tidal wave erupted at the bottom of the lake.

All the images.

They all turned into a pale green snowflake, accompanied by a piercing electrical hum.

"Signal interrupted!"

"All players' life signals have been cut off!"

"An extremely high-energy paranormal reaction has occurred at the bottom of the lake! The energy level... has exceeded the measurement limit!"

"It's over... Yang Shen and all the players were swallowed up by that wave!"

despair.

It once again gripped everyone's hearts.

however.

Just now.

Inside the command centers of various national command headquarters.

"No!"

"This is not the end! This is an opportunity!"

They stared intently at the last captured moment on the screen: Yang Jian's analysis of "reverse thinking."

"immediately!"

"Regarding Mr. Yang Jian's theory."

"The theory that 'activating the supernatural will cause you to be repelled by the lake water' has been sent to the factions of all surviving players via the emergency supernatural channel! Hurry!!"

The instruction is issued with the highest priority.

Federal First Laboratory.

Almost at the same time.

The command centers of all top-tier forces sent out this intelligence.

"Activating supernatural forces?"

"This...this is practically suicide!"

Some analysts instinctively refuted this.

"No!"

"Have you forgotten the copy of the Mysterious Hotel?"

"That man, Yang Jian from Kyushu, his thinking cannot be fathomed by common sense! Execute the order!"

……

The Mysterious Lake, atop the spiral staircase.

The man with the missing arm, along with the other surviving players, were huddled behind the "death line".

Feeling the terror coming from below,

That terrifying aura almost froze their souls.

They knew something had happened at the bottom of the lake.

What a big deal!

Just when they thought they were about to be torn to pieces by the raging lake waters.

The urgent intelligence from their respective factions reached their minds almost simultaneously.

"...Activate all your supernatural power...wait for the tide to crash in...and you will return to reality..."

Everyone was stunned the moment they received the intelligence.

This is completely contrary to their survival principles in paranormal events!

This is practically forcing them to wash their necks clean and willingly offer them up to be slaughtered by vengeful ghosts!

but……

They had no choice!

Behind.

It is that death staircase where one wrong step will erase one from the very concept of existence.

below,

It is a raging wave that is about to devour everything.

Do not believe.

It's a certain death sentence.

Believe it.

Perhaps there's still a one in a billion chance... of survival!

"Let's gamble!"

A resolute madness flashed in the eyes of the man with the missing arm.

He was the first to respond.

He unleashed the last remaining supernatural power within his body without reservation!

With his leadership...

The other players gritted their teeth and made the same choice!

In a short time.

Above these dark, deep-water steps.

All sorts of bizarre and eerie lights appeared one after another!

And at that very moment.

The world-ending tidal wave that swept in from the bottom of the lake finally broke through all the obstacles.

Hard,

It hit them!

boom--!

Her experience was exactly the same as Qin Taotao's.

When these active "paranormal sources" meet the "suppression" rules of the Ghost Lake, a violent repulsive force erupts instantly!
