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

Li Yao involuntarily clenched her hands.

Her sharp fingernails dug deep into the flesh of her palm, drawing blood, but she was completely unaware.

In her mind, there was only one thought.

赢！

Yang Jian...you must win!

however.

Unlike Li Yao's nervousness and anticipation.

Yang Jian, the person involved, frowned slightly at this moment.

His ghost domain did indeed block the ghost domain of the knocking ghost.

The eerie ferocity emanating from him did indeed cause the vengeful ghost before him to feel a sense of "surprise" and "fear".

But... that's all.

In the clash with the ghosts, he did not gain any advantage.

The two sides are evenly matched!

This is not good news.

Yang Jian's eyes, devoid of any emotion, were fixed on the knocking ghost not far away.

In his "worldview".

This ghost is completely different from the ones we encountered in the teaching building before.

If those ghosts before were just streams, he could see right to the bottom and easily evaporate and devour them.

So what about the ghost knocking on the door...?

It was a bottomless, blood-red ocean!

He could sense it.

Beneath that stiff, decaying body lies an unimaginably vast power belonging to the "rules"!

The patterns of murder are almost unsolvable!

The extent of the Ghost Realm is unfathomable!

His integration progress is still not high enough at the moment.

It is virtually impossible to "eat" it as easily as you would any other ghost.

even……

A slight mishap.

If he falls behind in this confrontation, he himself could very well become a piece of the puzzle for the other side to complete their own game!

A 50/50 situation.

For a monster whose very bones are imprinted with "rationality" and "interest," this in itself represents a huge risk.

Retreat.

It seems to be... the best option at the moment.

At this moment, Yang Jian's thinking was incredibly fast.

That absolute rationality that belongs to the identity of [Yang Jian] made him instantly begin to analyze all the possibilities.

The core mission of this instance is to protect the "players" and ensure their survival.

Only the player is still alive.

Only then does he have the right to remain in this bizarre world, to continue exploring, to continue devouring, and to continue growing stronger.

A direct confrontation is too risky.

Once we lose.

Or, if both sides suffer heavy losses, resulting in the player's death, then everything he did before will be meaningless.

and so……

We must come up with a foolproof solution.

A way to ensure the "player's" survival while also allowing him to withdraw from this uncertain battle!

Just then.

Two distinct voices rang in his ears almost simultaneously.

"Can we...win?"

It was Li Yao's voice.

Her voice trembled slightly, but more than that, it conveyed an almost blind trust and expectation.

"Don't just stand there! Let's go!"

"This is our only chance! You've held it back, let's run!"

It was Su Qiaoqiao's voice.

She finally regained a sliver of reason from that extreme fear and let out a terrified scream!

In her opinion.

Yang Jian's actions at this moment are utterly foolish!

Why stand here and waste time fighting a ghost that is clearly impossible to defeat, when you clearly have a chance to escape?

In short, it carries expectations and trust.

In short, it's filled with fear and selfishness.

These two sentences, in that instant, were like two bolts of lightning, piercing through Yang Jian's thoughts.

A glint of light, incomprehensible to anyone, flashed in his calm, indifferent eyes.

A method... has been found.

He slowly turned his head and glanced at Li Yao beside him, who was looking at him with utmost trust.

then.

He answered her question in a flat, almost cold tone.

It's as if it's answering everyone's questions.

"We can win, but it's not certain."

"so……"

"Let's retreat first."

The moment the words fell!

"boom!"

That ghostly domain, which had originally been on par with the knocking ghost and was filled with overwhelming ferocity, suddenly shrank inward without warning!

then!

Yang Jian's figure, along with Li Yao behind him, was like a phantom blending into the darkness. Without the slightest hesitation, he flashed directly towards the school gate!

fast!

It's almost at its limit!

One second ago, he was in the middle of the square, putting on a show of confrontation between gods and demons with the knocking ghost.

The next second, he was already a hundred meters away!

He... ran away!

He actually ran away!

and.

He took Li Yao with him and ran away without hesitation!

All that was left was Su Qiaoqiao, whom he had protected as a "player," all alone, desperately facing that knocking ghost that had walked out of hell!

This moment.

The whole world fell silent.

Inside the Kyushu Heavenly Secrets Operations Room.

The expressions on everyone's faces froze completely in that instant.

Zhao Jianguo's weathered face was drained of color, leaving only a deathly ashen hue.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But he found that his throat was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and he couldn't utter a single word.

hope.

The newly ignited flame of hope is powerful enough to start a prairie fire.

At that moment, I was drenched from head to toe in a bucket of ice water!

Finished!

It's all over!

"How...how could he do this...how dare he do this..."

A young analyst slumped dejectedly in his chair, muttering unconsciously to himself.

His eyes were empty and filled with despair.

Meanwhile.

In Kyushu's live stream room, the barrage of comments, which had been silent for a moment, suddenly exploded like a volcanic eruption!

Despair, anger, confusion, cursing...

Countless emotions converged into a torrent of words at this moment, sweeping across the entire screen!

He ran away?! He actually ran away?!

[Holy crap! I was just cheering him on! I thought he was the savior of Kyushu! And what happened? He's a fraud!]

Most importantly, he didn't take Su Qiaoqiao with him when he ran away!

He abandoned our players! What is he trying to do? Is the heavens trying to destroy our land?!

I knew it!

[I knew there was a ghost out there, completely unreliable! It has no humanity whatsoever! It was just playing us from beginning to end!]

[It's over... Su Qiaoqiao is doomed... Our national destiny challenge... has failed...]

Why...why take Li Yao, that NPC, away? Why not Su Qiaoqiao? I don't understand! I really don't understand!
