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

who is it? !

Li Yao's body tensed instantly!

A chilling killing intent flashed from her body!

She turned her head abruptly.

Those sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, scanned the empty surroundings.

Apart from the lifeless buildings and falling ashes.

Here,

There was absolutely no one there!

Was I hallucinating?

impossible!

The spirit of a ghost tamer is incredibly resilient, and their willpower is extremely strong, making it impossible for them to experience auditory hallucinations.

So, this voice...

Just as Li Yao was filled with doubt and uncertainty, that hoarse male voice rang in her mind once again.

This time.

There was a hint of helpless laughter in his voice.

"Stop looking, young lady, you're quite wary."

"I am the man who saved you and that little girl named Qin Taotao in the Sakura Kingdom."

boom!

Upon hearing these words, it felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Li Yao's mind!

That man!

That mysterious ghost tamer who single-handedly fought against the "headless suit-wearing ghost" in the Sakura Kingdom, giving her and Qin Taotao a glimmer of hope!

She remembers it very clearly!

At the last moment.

That man was hit by the headless, suit-wearing ghost's ultimate killing move!

He's already...

Did he die at the hands of the headless man in the suit?

Seemingly sensing the shock and confusion in Li Yao's heart, the voice continued to explain.

"I am indeed dead."

"My body was completely destroyed by the headless suit-wearing ghost's supernatural power at that moment, without a doubt."

"However, one of the demons I control possesses a very special ability."

"That is, at the moment of physical death."

"To completely separate my consciousness from my body, and to exist briefly as a pure ideology."

"However, you don't need to worry that I will pose any threat to you."

"This state cannot last; my consciousness is slowly fading away over time."

"Perhaps it won't be long before I disappear from this world completely."

"Now, I am nothing more than a remnant soul about to dissipate."

"I came to you because I want to help you."

The wariness in Li Yao's eyes slowly faded.

She remained silent for a moment.

then.

Using his consciousness, he posed his question in his mind.

"What is the Peach Blossom Spring Project?"

The hoarse male voice let out a long sigh.

It was as if I had fallen into some ancient memory.

"The Peach Blossom Spring Project... it's a very old, crazy, and desperate project."

"It's from our time."

"A top-tier demon tamer, at the end of his rope, devised a way to continue the flame of human civilization."

"Simply put, it's..."

"Abandon the real world and relocate all surviving humans to a supernatural painting."

"In that painting."

"There are no strange attacks, no resurrection of vengeful spirits, so it's relatively safe."

"Then,"

"Relying on a few demon tamers who have mastered the 'immortality' characteristic, a new order is established and stability is maintained in the world within the painting."

Upon hearing this, Li Yao instantly understood.

This.

Was this the final solution people of that era came up with to save the world in the face of that terrifying supernatural disaster that swept across the entire world?

Abandon reality

Hiding in illusion.

Using paintings as a boat, we cross the calamity of world destruction.

sound.

It seems like a good choice.

but……

They lost their physical bodies and their most basic freedom.

even,

Furthermore, under the erosion of the eerie paintings, they will gradually become eerie themselves.

People who live like that, can they still...?

Should we call them "people"?

In the world of ghost paintings.

It is indeed no longer subject to strange attacks from the outside world.

but.

The price, however, is the loss of everything that a person should have.

This was a failed plan.

A complete, tragic, and failed plan.

"hehe……"

A hoarse laugh rang out once again, interrupting Li Yao's thoughts.

"It seems you've figured it out too."

"That's right, the Peach Blossom Spring Project failed from the very beginning."

"Its so-called security is just a beautiful lie."

"The world in the painting will slowly turn everyone who enters it into a cold, supernatural entity, just like the painting itself."

"We ultimately underestimated the terrifying nature of S-class monsters."

The man's voice became extremely solemn.

"Young lady, let's get back to the main topic."

"My time is running out. I need to let you know as soon as possible what kind of monster you are facing now."

Listen carefully.

"The essence of ghost paintings lies in their ghostly realm and their rules for killing."

"First."

"The Ghost Realm, an ashes world that can expand infinitely—this is an unsolvable ability!"

"Its coverage can expand indefinitely over time."

"It could even engulf the entire country!"

"By then,"

"The entire world's sky will be filled with this gray paper ash."

"Inside the ghost realm."

"Everything will be distorted. The real world will lose all color. Cities, buildings, and living people will all become the gray-white silhouettes you see now, completely pulled into the world of the painting!"

"At the same time, the Ghost Realm also possesses extremely strong suppressive power!"

"It can suppress, and even devour, the supernatural power of other vengeful spirits!"

"In our time, even top-tier vengeful spirits like the 'Ghost Messenger' were once pulled into the painting and imprisoned by it!"

"The most troublesome thing is..."

"All the sub-paintings derived from the original ghost painting are completely interconnected in their ghost realms!"

"This means,"

"Ghost paintings can freely travel between any painting and command the ghost servants they control!"

Listening to the man's story.

Li Yao's heart,

It sank little by little.

Expanding infinitely, devouring vengeful spirits, traversing through the painting...

Each of these abilities is practically unsolvable!

"Secondly, its rules for killing."

"A three-step curse: 'Those who remember will die!'"

"This rule is extremely insidious, and extremely deadly!"

"The first step is to see."

"You must have seen the real ghost painting with your own eyes, whether it's the original or a derivative work; photos and copies are not valid."

"The second step is to recall."

"Once you've been branded, whenever you're bored and your mind wanders back to the woman in the painting, or any detail from it, you'll remember her."

"Then, the ghost drawing will appear directly in your home!"

"The third step, and the most fatal one, is fantasy!"

"Once you're filled with fear, you start to imagine that the woman in the painting will step out of it."

"Then, that female ghost in red will immediately descend and begin a deadly pursuit of you!"

"This is an unsolvable loop!"

Finally, there's its ability to generate derivative products.

"Within the Ghost Realm, all those killed by it and those assimilated by it will become its ghost slaves."

"That's the kind of red-clad female ghost you encountered before."

"In its ghost realm, the number of these ghost slaves is limitless; they can't be killed off at all."

"It can also grow stronger and expand its ghost domain by devouring other vengeful ghosts or other supernatural events."

"even."

"It also possesses the ability to switch between the real and the virtual."

"You can freely switch between reality and the painted world."

"You can seal any object or person from reality into a painting, or you can release the things in the painting into reality!"

"Golden candlesticks".

"It's a supernatural item associated with it that can be used to enhance its ghostly aura."

"Even, it's a portal to the world within the painting..."

After listening to the man's detailed account, Li Yao was completely shocked.

She never expected this.

The horror of this ghost painting far exceeded her expectations!

What made her scalp tingle even more was...

Filming ghosts and ghost paintings...

The potential of these two bizarre events has probably reached S-level!

A city in Canada.

In a very short period of time, two terrifying and bizarre events with potential at the S-level have occurred simultaneously!

Behind this,

What does it all mean?!

"Don't overthink it, little girl."

The man's voice sounded weak, and his consciousness seemed to be fading away rapidly.

"Now is not the time to dwell on these things."

"You need to hurry!"

"While this ghost realm hasn't yet merged further with the real world, while its power hasn't fully matured!"

"Immediately, find the source of this painting!"

"Then."

"We need to find a way to escape from there!"
