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

Immediately afterwards, countless agreeing comments flooded the screen.

[That's right! How come I didn't think of that! All the ghosts' actions follow its rules! Yang Jian must have been lucky and didn't trigger any rules!]

[That's right! It must be! Otherwise, there's no way to explain why an ordinary person could make a ghost disappear! This is the most scientific explanation!]

[You scared me! I really thought it was a deity descending to earth. Turns out, it's still up to our analysis team to find the real rules.]

[So, this Yang Jian isn't some kind of powerful figure at all; in fact, he's an extremely dangerous and unstable element! What if he says something reckless and triggers the rules?]

Public opinion underwent a stunning reversal in just a few dozen seconds.

People are always more willing to believe the logic they can understand.

"Coincidence" and "Rules".

It's much easier for people to accept than the idea that "an ordinary person is a god."

Thus, Yang Jian's image in the audience's mind changed from "savior" back to "an ordinary person with good luck".

……

A bizarre dungeon, inside a classroom.

After a brief moment of shock, Su Qiaoqiao also recovered from the huge shock.

Looking at Yang Jian, who stood calmly beside her, the shock and elation in her heart were quickly replaced by reason and doubt.

No...that's not right.

He was just an ordinary person who was randomly selected.

How could such a terrifying ghost be driven away with just a few words?

This is not logical.

The two ironclad rules of the eerie dungeon have been proven by countless people with their lives.

Ghosts cannot be killed.

The demons' killing follows rules.

and so……

Was everything just a coincidence?

Did his statement just happen not to trigger the ghost's killing rules?

Once the idea appeared, it took root and sprouted wildly in her mind.

That must be it!

That's the only explanation!

Having figured this out, Su Qiaoqiao's gaze towards Yang Jian instantly changed.

There was no longer worship or dependence, but rather a sense of solemnity and vigilance.

This teammate is so unreliable!

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the pounding in her heart, and her brain started working at lightning speed.

"The mission is 'Escape the Horrifying High School,' which means that as long as we can leave the school grounds, we should be able to survive!"

"This entire school is very likely that ghost's 'ghost realm'!"

She quickly stated her conjecture, then commanded Yang Jian in an unquestionable tone:

"We can't just sit here and wait to die; we must act immediately!"

"Stay close to me. Remember, from now on, you are not allowed to touch anything or say anything without my permission!"

After she finished speaking.

She stopped looking at Yang Jian and walked straight towards the back door of the classroom, preparing to begin her "escape plan".

In her opinion.

This incredibly lucky teammate is now her only helper, but also her biggest burden.

She has to take the lead in all of this.

……

Meanwhile, in the real world.

The Su Family Manor in the capital.

In a private screening room comparable to a small cinema, Su Jiancheng and his wife Liu Yun stared intently at the screen, their hearts pounding in their throats.

From the appearance of the vengeful ghost to its disappearance.

Their emotions felt like they had ridden a rollercoaster, going 180 times in a row.

"Husband...husband, that Yang Jian...he..."

Liu Yun gripped her husband's hand so tightly that her nails dug into his flesh, her voice trembling.

Su Jiancheng did not answer.

He was equally agitated, but more than that, he felt a sense of disbelief and doubt.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

A butler in a black suit strode in and respectfully handed over a sealed manila envelope.

"Master, Madam, we've used all of the Su family's intelligence networks around the world. This is all the information we could find about that 'Yang Jian'."

Su Jiancheng snatched the file and roughly tore it open.

He and his wife huddled together, their eyes scanning the documents intently.

How much they hoped.

You can find any words related to "extraordinary" or "special" in this file.

However, reality dealt them the heaviest blow.

Name: Yang Jian

Age: 22

[Place of residence: Shoucheng West District...]

[Family Background: Orphan; both parents died in an accident eighteen years ago; raised by social welfare institutions.]

[Educational Background: Beijing Third Vocational Technical College, attended but not graduated.]

[Social relationships: No girlfriend, no close friends, extremely simple social relationships.]

【…】

[Comprehensive Assessment: The target individual has no criminal record, no religious affiliation, and no history of contact with any special organizations or supernatural forces, domestic or international. Through multiple data model comparisons, they are confirmed to be—an ordinary citizen.]

Ordinary...citizen.

These four words struck the couple's hearts like a heavy hammer.

pat.

The files slipped from Su Jiancheng's weak fingers and scattered on the ground.

The last glimmer of light in his eyes was completely extinguished.

Liu Yun's vision went black again, and he fainted once more.

"lady!"

"Call the medical team immediately!"

Su Jiancheng held his wife and let out a desperate roar.

He looked up at the screen.

The daughter, who was preparing to "escape" with Yang Jian, had only endless sorrow and despair in her eyes.

coincidence.

It was just a coincidence after all.

Their only hope was this...

shattered.

……

Kyushu, the highest command center.

The atmosphere in a top-level operations room codenamed "Sky Secret" was extremely tense.

This room is where the most brilliant minds of the entire Great Xia Dynasty are gathered.

China's leading criminal psychology profiler.

A leading figure in folklore and history who has immersed himself in ancient books for decades.

A genius boy with extraordinary memory and logical reasoning abilities.

they.

The last line of defense for Kyushu—the Mysterious Rules Deduction Team!

The person sitting in the first seat.

It was the same commander-in-chief from the conference room earlier. His eyes were sharp as he swept over everyone present, and his voice was heavy as a mountain.

"Gentlemen!"

"The live stream has already started, and we don't have much time left!"

"Jiangnan No.1 Middle School is a completely new instance, with no information available for reference. As you can see, the ghost was terrifying."

"Now, I command, the 'Heavenly Secrets' team to commence operations immediately!"

"Use all resources to analyze every detail in the scene, and deduce the vengeful ghost's murder rules in the shortest possible time!"

He slammed his hand on the table, his voice sharp and stern.

"Remember! We have no room for failure!"

"The lives of Su Qiaoqiao and Yang Jian, the fate of our Great Xia, now... all hang on to this battle!"

"action!"

At a command.

The entire "Heavenly Secrets" war room, this war machine representing the highest wisdom of the Great Xia Dynasty, instantly started operating at high speed!

Countless streams of data flashed across the screen.

Analysis and instructions echoed throughout the room.

"Slow down the scene of the vengeful ghost's appearance frame by frame a hundred times!"

"Analyze the arrangement of all items in the classroom and how it differs from a typical high school classroom!"

"Investigate! Immediately investigate whether the name 'Jiangnan No.1 Middle School' actually existed in our country's history!"

"Pay close attention to Su Qiaoqiao and Yang Jian's conversation! Don't miss a single word!"

And in the eerie dungeon.

Su Qiaoqiao had already opened the back door of the classroom and was solemnly preparing to take the "burden that needs to be protected" in her eyes into the unknown and dangerous corridor.
