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

Everyone was startled.

Everyone turned their gaze to the red communication phone, which represented the highest level of emergency.

The screen displays the caller ID.

—Sakura Country,

Headquarters for Emergency Response to Mysterious Disasters

"What do they want by calling?"

General Mack frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Although Sakura Country suffered unprecedented damage, their "Special Operations Team" was not to be underestimated.

and.

While the resurrection of vengeful ghosts is terrifying, it usually has a fixed range of influence.

As long as the source is sealed off in time, the disaster can always be contained within a certain area.

Even if this incident occurred in a megacity like Tojo, which is experiencing a population explosion, Sakura Country should have been able to barely control the situation after paying a heavy price.

Why...

Why would they make this top-level call for help?

With a hint of doubt and unease, General Mike pressed the speakerphone button.

"This is the command center of the United States."

"Help...help me..."

On the other end of the phone.

What came through was a scream filled with extreme terror and despair, almost incoherent!

It is none other than the commander-in-chief of the Sakura Kingdom's response headquarters!

"We can't control it! We simply can't control it!"

"Scope... its killing pattern... has no scope!!!"

"What?!"

General Mike's pupils suddenly contracted.

No range?

What does this mean?

"Video! I've sent you the latest surveillance video! You'll understand once you see it! My God... what kind of monster is this?!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was already trembling with sobs.

next second.

The main screen in the command center was split in two.

left.

It was still that hellish crossroads in the eastern part of the city.

On the right, several videos that had just been sent from Sakura Country began to play, videos that were absolutely mind-blowing!

The first video.

The footage comes from a special operations team member's helmet camera.

According to the time and GPS location shown in the upper left corner of the video, his location was on an overpass a full five kilometers away from the Shibuya intersection.

He and his teammates were working diligently to establish a second line of defense.

"Captain, we should be safe from this distance, right?"

A young player's voice came through.

"Nonsense! Five kilometers! Even if that thing were a missile, it couldn't get here! Everyone, stay alert and clear the surrounding vehicles!"

The captain reprimanded.

The camera shook slightly, and the person filming looked up, gazing in the direction of Shibuko.

On the distant horizon.

You can see some blurry, tiny black dots, like specks of dust.

Those were the human head balloons floating in the air.

"What an... outrageous sight..."

The photographer muttered to himself unconsciously.

however.

It was just that one glance.

That became the last thing he saw in his life!

"Well……"

A short, sharp sound, as if something had choked someone, rang out.

Followed by.

Amidst the gasps of surprise from everyone in the video.

All I could see was the person taking the photo.

His hands, as if controlled by an invisible force, suddenly rose up and gripped his neck tightly!

His body was struggling violently, and strange "hoarse" sounds were coming from his throat.

But those hands were like two iron clamps, completely still!

"Snap—!!!"

A crisp, cracking sound was transmitted clearly through the microphone to every corner of the command center of the United States!

The camera suddenly tilted to the side.

The scene spun violently before finally settling on a pair of dusty military boots.

Then, everything was plunged into darkness.

"hiss--!!!"

Inside the command center, a collective gasp filled the air!

Five kilometers!

A full five kilometers apart!

Just one glance at those black dots floating in the sky triggered a fatal killing pattern?!

How...how is this possible?!

however.

That's not even the scariest part.

The second video has begun.

This video was taken from a mobile phone.

The photographer appears to be a tourist dining at the rooftop restaurant of a high-rise hotel in the Xinsu area.

He was using his phone's zoom function to take pictures of the "spectacle" in the direction of East City through the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

The image of hundreds of heads gathering together and slowly drifting in the sky was captured with incredible clarity by the camera.

"My God... Look! What's that? Is it a prank? That's insane!"

The photographer excitedly told his companion as he took the pictures.

He was completely unaware.

He was filming Death, the Grim Reaper, who was capable of taking his life.

Just as he pointed the camera at one of the distorted heads, preparing to zoom in for a closer look,

An unexpected change occurred!

"Um?"

The photographer suddenly let out a puzzled nasal sound.

He felt...

It felt like something cold was wrapped around my neck.

He instinctively wanted to put down his phone and reached for it.

but.

He was horrified to discover that his body... he couldn't move!

An irresistible, cold, and eerie force completely bound his limbs!

Followed by.

A terrifying force came from his neck!

"No……"

He only had time to let out a desperate cry.

"Snap!"

The phone slipped from his limp hand and fell onto the carpet.

on the screen.

The final reflection was on the windowpane: a face distorted beyond recognition by extreme pain and fear.

as well as……

A head slowly separated from the body, pulled by invisible black lines, pierced through the hotel's glass curtain wall, and floated towards the sky...

This concludes the video.

The entire command center of the United States fell into a deathly silence that lasted for half a minute.

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's faces lost all color, leaving only a petrified, blank, and deathly pale expression.

New Suzhou...

That place is dozens of kilometers away from Dongchengdu!

Tens of kilometers!

This is no longer a question of scope!

The way this ghost kills people...

"Visual...it's visually triggered..."

A top expert in charge of analyzing bizarre events, in a dreamlike, trembling voice, uttered a conclusion that froze everyone's soul.

"Its killing pattern is 'being observed'!"

"No matter how far away you are, whether you're using your naked eye, a telescope, or a camera..."

"As long as you...see it!"

"You will die!"

"And...become a part of it!"

boom--!!!

This conclusion was like a nuclear bomb with a yield of hundreds of millions of tons, which exploded in the minds of everyone in the command center!

They suddenly looked up.

Look to the left side of the screen, where the global live broadcast is still going on!

Countless media outlets, countless television stations, countless netizens...

worldwide.

Hundreds of millions of people are watching this "grand" disaster through all sorts of screens!

in case……

If the live stream camera gave a close-up of those human head balloons...

in case……

Those ever-growing, increasingly numerous balloons bearing human heads drifted to other cities in Sakura Country, and even onto the high seas, where they were seen by even more people…

One that made General Mike...

The thought that sent chills down everyone's spine and almost made them faint on the spot crossed their minds.

This was not a terrorist attack targeting the Sakura Kingdom.

This is not a bizarre disaster that can be controlled or contained.

This is……

A world-ending plague that can self-replicate and spread indefinitely!

And Yang Jian.

That devil of Kyushu.

He did it himself...

This Pandora's box has been opened!

"It's over..."

General Mack swayed and slumped into his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Apologize?

What's the point of talking about an apology now?

It's too late.

It's all...too late!

That devil.

He never even considered peace talks!

he wants.

It will make the whole world pay the most terrible price for provoking him!
