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

Those two lines of cold text options were like two insurmountable barriers standing in front of Li Yao, and also in the hearts of 1.4 billion people across the entire Kyushu.

Return, or stay?

This is an ultimate decision that could determine the future fate of the Nine Provinces!

Inside the Kyushu Heavenly Secrets Operations Room.

The commander-in-chief and the experts, who had just recovered from their euphoria, felt their hearts clench once again!

All eyes.

They were all fixated on Li Yao.

They were nervous, they were anxious, they even dared not breathe!

"You absolutely must choose to come back!"

An elderly expert clasped his hands together, muttering incantations as if praying to countless gods and Buddhas:

"Li Yao is now a being that is half-human and half-ghost!"

"Once she returns, our Kyushu will essentially possess a 'living demon' that we can control!"

"That's right!"

"With this ghost guarding our position, we will have a tremendous advantage in future competition for national destiny!"

The situation in Kyushu is already extremely difficult.

Li Yao's return is especially needed; her return will be a great help to Kyushu!

however.

The millions of viewers in the live stream had completely different thoughts.

[Stay! You must stay!]

[That's right! Why come back? Can coming back completely overturn the situation of my Great Xia? Impossible!]

What if I lose again next time?

[Yang Shen is the real powerhouse! Only by following Yang Shen can you live a life of luxury!]

[Your perspective is too narrow!]

This is no longer about living a life of luxury! This is the path to godhood!

Yang Shen is clearly in the 'development' stage; his power hasn't fully matured yet! Li Yao is now his chosen 'player,' and as long as she stays, Yang Shen can continue to accompany her in challenging dungeons and continue growing stronger!

When Yang Shen becomes truly invincible, let alone a small, bizarre dungeon, the entire bizarre world will tremble beneath his feet!

At that time, what national destiny challenge will we, the people of Kyushu, fear? We'll just sweep through and conquer!

[So, Li Yao! Please!]

[You absolutely must choose to stay! Cling to Yang Shen's coattails! This is the true future of our Nine Provinces!]

The comments from Kyushu viewers contrasted sharply with the thoughts of the higher-ups in the operations room.

But whoever it is.

Their thoughts had no effect on the person in the instance world.

At this moment.

Inside the eerie dungeon world.

Looking at the two options before her, Li Yao showed no hesitation or struggle on her pale face, which was slightly pale from blood loss.

She didn't even think about it.

What does choosing to stay or return mean for her and for Kyushu, respectively?

Because she knew it very well.

Very, very clear.

She survived not because of her own hard work, nor because of the intelligence of the Kyushu experts.

She can stand here.

She has the right to choose her future simply because of the man in front of her.

and so.

Her future and her decisions should rightfully be decided by this man.

Li Yao raised her head.

Those clear and bright eyes, filled with the purest trust and reliance, looked at Yang Jian.

She didn't speak, but her eyes said it all.

As if sensing her feelings, Yang Jian's usually indifferent face suddenly curved into a faint, yet captivating, smile.

He turned around.

His profound gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of this world, looking towards the endless unknown and darkness.

"The eerie world is very mysterious, don't you want to go and see it?"

He spoke.

The voice was soft and the tone was calm, but it was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating huge waves in Li Yao's heart and throughout the entire Kyushu live broadcast room!

boom!

This one sentence instantly ignited the passion of all Kyushu viewers!

[Holy crap! Yang Shen has spoken!]

He knew it! He knew Yang Shen definitely didn't want it to end like this!

[Let's go see! We absolutely have to go see! With Yang Shen leading the way, what kind of world can't we go to?]

[So cool! That style! That presence! "The eerie world is mysterious, don't you want to go and see it?" Absolutely amazing!]

Inside the operations room.

The commander-in-chief and the experts' faces instantly turned extremely ugly.

It’s over.

Yang Jian spoke up.

everything……

It's all a done deal.

as predicted.

The moment Li Yao heard Yang Jian's words, her eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

Without hesitation, she extended her slender finger and pointed to the second option.

The clear and firm voice resounded in everyone's ears.

"I choose to stay in this bizarre world!"

[Player 'Li Yao' has made a choice.]

The cold, impersonal system notification arrived as expected the next second.

You will have a 7-day rest period. After 7 days, please go to the following address—Tianshan—to prepare for the next round of challenges.

Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the eerie dungeon "Jiangnan No.1 Middle School".

[Genererating final reward...]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a special and eerie item—Cursed Audio!]

hum-

As the system notification tone faded.

An ordinary-looking, even somewhat old, black cassette tape appeared out of nowhere in front of Li Yao.

Wisps of visible black mist swirled around the surface of the tape, emanating a chilling and terrifying aura.

[Curse Audio: A bizarre item that stole a portion of the power of the 'Knocking Ghost's' rules.]

[Effect 1: Anyone who listens to this audio in its entirety will be targeted by the vengeful spirit within the audio. The spirit will transcend any physical distance, appear before the target, and kill them.]

[Effect Two: Anyone killed by the audio ghost will have their soul enslaved by the audio, becoming a new 'ghost slave' to be driven by you.]

[Effect 3: The curse can spread through the user's active contact, and the person touched will also become a target for the vengeful ghost.]

[Users can cancel the vengeful spirit's pursuit of the cursed audio!]

[Effect 4: By absorbing similar 'curse medium' fragments, the level and ability of the curse audio can be improved.]

When this detailed introduction to the "cursed audio" was clearly presented to all viewers in the Kyushu live stream room.

The entire live stream room fell into a deathly silence once again.
