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

on the screen.

All the people, all the cars.

Whether you're running or driving.

They all vanished into thin air at the same instant, without any warning!

It's like being erased by an eraser.

It was abruptly erased from this world!

There was no explosion, no light, and no energy fluctuations.

It just disappeared so abruptly and completely!

"My God..."

"What...what's going on?!"

The team members gasped in disbelief.

"Slow down! Zoom in!"

Li Yao's icy voice rang out.

Susan took action immediately.

The video was slowed down dozens of times.

This time,

They finally saw it clearly!

In the instant before those people disappeared.

Their movements were all remarkably synchronized.

They did so without prior arrangement.

He stopped, turned his head, and looked at something beside the road.

On their faces,

A look of confusion, curiosity, and even... fascination appeared on his face.

Then they disappeared.

"What are they looking at?!" Captain Mark couldn't help but yell.

Sudo adjusted the angle of the camera.

finally,

The image freezes on a "GG" sign next to the road.

The huge screen that should have been playing commercials was now completely black.

And in that pitch-black center.

A painting was hanging on the wall.

An oil painting with a bizarre style and somber colors.

In the painting.

She was a woman wearing a long red dress.

The woman's figure was blurry, and her face was blank, without any features!

画！

It's a painting!

All eyes were fixed on the painting!

A chill ran through me.

From their tailbone, straight up to the top of their head!

This is the painting!

It is it.

It caused tens of thousands of refugees to vanish into thin air in an instant!

"Use this painting as a clue and launch a city-wide search!"

Li Yao made a decisive decision and issued a new order.

"Investigate the movement routes of these escapees, enter their homes, shelters, and all the places they might have stayed, and look for similar paintings!"

"yes!"

This time, everyone took action.

With the assistance of the demon slave army.

A city-wide, carpet-style search was launched in full swing!

Captain Mark led his combat squad, based on the survivors' information, and stormed into a series of abandoned residential buildings.

The technical experts then utilized the ghost slaves.

They quickly infiltrated every corner of the city, investigating every suspicious location.

soon.

Messages were collected and sent to Li Yao via the communicator.

"Report! A painting has been found at the Central Park shelter in the south of the city! It's exactly the same as the one in the surveillance footage!"

"It's also in the lobby of an office building on the North District commercial street!"

"In the wealthy western suburbs, almost every villa has that damned painting hanging in its living room!"

……

One discovery after another plunged everyone's hearts into despair.

That eerie painting was like an invisible virus.

It had already spread to every corner of the city without their knowledge!

And this moment.

Li Yao, however, came to the municipal museum in Calgary all by herself.

Here.

It is a place where the city's artworks are gathered.

If we say,

If that painting has a source, then this is the most likely place to find clues.

She walked through the empty, lifeless exhibition hall.

finally,

I stopped in a modern art exhibition area.

In front of her.

A huge oil painting hangs quietly in the center of the wall.

It was that painting, the faceless woman in red!

It just hangs there quietly, as if it has existed for thousands of years.

The colors in the picture.

It was denser and more somber than what was seen on the surveillance footage.

That blurry red color resembled flowing blood, exuding a nauseatingly sweet and pungent odor.

Li Yao gazed at it quietly.

She could sense it.

A faint, cold, and eerie supernatural power is slowly emanating from the painting.

Unlike the violent and malevolent supernatural phenomena of "the ghost that shoots people".

This force is more sinister and more unpredictable, carrying an indescribable, spiritually corrupting quality.

really.

Within the city.

There is another unknown and eerie event lurking within!

only,

Under the influence of the terrifying ghost domain that the "Human-Slapping Ghost" had previously created, which was powerful enough to cover the entire city, its power was suppressed and could not be manifested.

As the "human-shooting ghost" came under its control, the ghost realm disappeared.

This vengeful ghost, which had been suppressed for so long, finally began to show its fangs!

So...

Its level of strangeness.

It is highly likely that it will be weaker than the "Human Ghost" at its peak.

Thinking about this...

For once, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Li Yao's usually cold face.

A very suitable one.

An opponent used to test the power of the "Pai Ren Gui".

She no longer hesitated.

A thought crossed my mind.

A supernatural power, originating from the "human-shooting ghost" and filled with a deathly and ominous aura, silently spread from her fingertips.

It transformed into a pitch-black shadow.

Like a venomous snake, it tentatively reached out and touched the painting in front of it!

And it was at that very moment that shadow touched the painting!

Om-!

The entire painting shook violently!

The blood-red color in the painting seemed to come alive, surging and churning wildly!

A malice far greater and more terrifying than before erupted!

Followed by.

Under Li Yao's icy gaze.

A terrifying scene unfolded!

In that painting,

A woman wearing a long red dress, her features completely blurred.

One of her hands...

Slowly.

It peeked out from the picture frame!

It was a hand so pale it was devoid of any color, with black and sharp nails.

Next, her head, her body...

she,

They actually squeezed little by little from the two-dimensional painting into the three-dimensional real world!

With her arrival.

A nauseating smell, a mixture of paint and rotting corpses, instantly filled the entire exhibition hall!

"Hmm..."

A hoarse, inhuman roar rang out from beneath that blank face.

The faceless female ghost in red, after completely leaving the painting.

It transformed into a blood-red afterimage, filled with endless resentment and madness, and pounced fiercely towards Li Yao, who was right in front of it!

Its goal is very clear.

The goal is to tear this living person who dares to provoke it with supernatural powers to shreds!

however.

Faced with this horrifying scene.

Li Yao's face.

There was no panic or fear whatsoever.

She simply stood there quietly, her eyes sharp as knives.

Finally, it's here.

She slowly raised her hand.

behind her.

A gigantic hand, composed entirely of shadows and capable of blotting out the sky, silently emerged!

On that palm.

The ominous and deathly atmosphere caused the temperature in the entire space to plummet to freezing point!

"So..."

"Let me see just how much you really amount to."
