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

Could it be...?

The ghost painting connects to that eerie world she once visited?!

This idea.

Like the chilling air from the deepest hell, it spread wildly upwards along Li Yao's spine.

It made her scalp feel numb!

She once briefly descended into that world as a player through the power of the mysterious Heavenly Dao.

That was a world that had been completely ruined.

A desperate situation.

There was no sign of life.

A terrifying hell where only endless strange creatures roam, slaughter and devour each other!

If this painting...

It really is the entrance to that world...

Li Yao's heart.

It keeps sinking.

but.

Now is not the time to lose our composure.

Li Yao collected all her thoughts, and her cold eyes regained their calm, still state.

She began to examine it carefully.

Examining this world constructed from ghostly drawings.

This is still Calgary.

Beneath my feet are familiar streets, and in the distance stand towering buildings; the outlines of all the buildings are exactly the same as those in the real-world city of Calgary.

however.

Everything has lost its original color.

sky.

It rotates slowly, a somber, oppressive grayness.

building.

It is monotonous, a silhouette outlined by black and white lines.

The whole world.

It's like a huge, unfinished sketch, filled with a sense of deathly stillness and unreality.

What terrified Li Yao even more was the extent of this ghostly realm.

It actually enveloped the entire city!

This is incredible!

To know.

Most of the ghosts that appear in the real world now are released from a place called "Ghost Meeting".

Those ghosts.

It was suppressed by some supreme rule.

When they first arrived in the real world, they had not yet recovered to their full strength, and their ghostly domains had an extremely limited coverage area.

Take, for example, the "Ghost Shooter" she portrayed.

Even terrifying ghosts with S-class potential are weakened the moment they descend into the real world.

It requires killing and devouring to grow step by step.

This is a ghost painting.

Logically, this rule should also be followed.

but……

From the moment it appeared.

It only took four short days to completely cover the city of Gaza!

In just four days.

The ghost paintings have grown to this extent; how terrifying is that!

The speed at which this vengeful ghost grows.

That's incredibly fast.

It's gotten to an illogical point!

Li Yao's figure.

It transformed into a blurry shadow, swiftly traversing the desolate, gray city.

She needs intelligence.

She needs to figure out who else is in this world.

It was at this time that...

Her gaze suddenly sharpened.

She saw a familiar figure.

It was an elderly man dressed in a scholar's overcoat, standing stiffly in front of a gray-white building, motionless.

It's Professor Smith!

The American expert who initially came to Calgary with her to provide technical support!

He was indeed pulled into this bizarre world.

Li Yao's figure flashed.

He appeared in front of Professor Smith in an instant.

"Professor Smith?"

She called out tentatively.

however.

Professor Smith did not react at all; his eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were empty and lifeless, as if they had lost all focus.

Li Yao frowned slightly.

She reached out and put her hand on Professor Smith's shoulder.

Icy.

stiff.

There was not a trace of life in it.

Just like.

What she touched was not a living person, but a statue carved from cold stone.

He... died.

No, that's not right!

Li Yao's eyes sharpened.

She discovered.

Professor Smith's body is undergoing a strange change.

His skin, his clothes, every detail of his body, are gradually losing their texture.

It becomes flat and monotonous.

finally.

It completely transformed into a gray-white silhouette, identical to its surroundings.

He's been possessed by the supernatural!

Seeing this, Li Yao instantly understood another terrifying rule of the Ghost Painting World.

When an ordinary person's body is completely eroded by this world.

When the color tone completely transforms into a gray-white silhouette.

His life, his consciousness, and all traces of his existence will be completely erased!

then.

Become a part of this supernatural world!

Only a demon tamer like her, possessing supernatural powers within her to resist them, would not be assimilated by this world immediately.

but.

This confrontation is not without its costs.

The ghostly realm of the ghost painting was extremely powerful, constantly suppressing the supernatural power within her.

When this suppression reaches an absolute critical point.

When the supernatural power within her was completely suppressed and could no longer provide effective resistance.

she was.

They too will be completely supernaturalized by the ghost drawings, just like Professor Smith!

Li Yao glanced at her hand, which was slowly losing its color, and her expression became extremely solemn.

She must escape before her supernatural powers are completely suppressed!

As for the others...

She was beyond saving.

Those ordinary people who are drawn into this world are already sentenced to death the moment they enter.

Their fate was sealed long ago.

Even if she could get them out of there.

It was taken out.

They are merely shells corrupted by the supernatural, soon to transform into bizarre forms.

That's not salvation.

That would bring even greater scourge to the real world.

Li Yao no longer hesitated.

Continue exploring this gray city.

She needs to find the boundary of this ghostly realm and a way to leave.

soon.

She then arrived at the edge of Calgary.

Take another step forward.

It was a deep, dark place, as if it could swallow up all light.

She tried to reach out and touch the darkness.

hum.

An invisible yet incredibly strong barrier blocked her path.

This ghost realm has boundaries.

Currently.

Its scope only covers Calgary.

Li Yao stopped in her tracks.

With his back against a gray-white wall, his brain began to work at lightning speed, thinking of a way to escape.

Forcing your way in is impossible.

The strength of this ghostly realm is beyond imagination; in her current suppressed state, she simply cannot force her way through.

So.

There are only two options left.

Or not?

Find the core of this grotesque painting, its origin, and solve the problem at its root.

Or not?

Find the "door" to this ghostly realm and walk out through it.

however.

Whether it's the core or the gate, in this desolate, vast, gray-white city, it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Time is passing by, second by second.

She could clearly feel the supernatural power within her body being gradually eroded and suppressed.

Time is running out for her.

however.

It was at this time that...

A sudden, hoarse male voice, tinged with a slight chuckle, rang out from the depths of her mind without warning.

"Project Peach Blossom Spring... Ha, I never expected this."
