Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 51 Li Yan and the Spying Ghost?

You mean you came to see me outside Wangcheng?

I don't remember ever seeing you.

Who exactly are you?

Yan Ming wrote three sentences in a row, confirming that he had never seen this survivor "Ghost Eye" in his memory, and had no recollection of the other party's death.

Are you kidding me?
He was just an ordinary person outside the Ghost Realm, while the survivor "Ghost Eye" was a powerful player who replicated the map rule "Peeping at All Evils".

Yan Ming only learned about the eerie games after entering the Ghost Realm; he had never seen a human with extraordinary powers before.

if not……

His office building won't be completely destroyed so quickly, will it?

Over a hundred office workers arrived one after another...

If there were survivors like "Ghost Eye" in the office building, Yan Ming could save at least a lot of people, if not everything else.

In any case, this is a power capable of fighting against ghosts.

Could it be that this survivor "Ghost Eye" was too weak and was killed by some ghosts in the office building before he could even show his abilities?

That can't be. Looking at this guy's past record, his withdrawal rate was very high, yet he still managed to win and successfully replicate the map rules.

Judging from the bizarre rules of Wangcheng, the difficulty of this game is definitely not low.

Does this mean that all of Li Yan's previous games were against bots during the beginner's bonus period?

The Spying Ghost's abilities are clearly very strong. With just a little development, it has so many extended uses. How did this person manage to use it like this?
"Hey, what are you thinking about? I feel like the way you're looking at me is a bit impolite?"

Li Yan was able to keenly perceive the emotions of others, and Yan Ming's gaze inexplicably made him uncomfortable.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it and continued, "But I remember very clearly that I definitely didn't die in any game. I died in reality on a certain day after the evacuation was completed."

He frowned, thinking as he said, "But this is very strange, because I know that in reality there are probably only a very small number of ghosts roaming around, and under normal circumstances they could not possibly threaten me, yet I died so hastily, without even leaving a trace of my memory..."

Suddenly, Li Yan noticed the Blindfolded Ghost's gaze.

There was no malice intended, just a sense of pity, like looking at a struggling but weak person.

No, to be more accurate, it's like watching "a child carrying gold through a bustling market".

【Feel sorry. 】

Yan Ming immediately suppressed his thoughts; he could understand it from the survivor's words.

This guy was pretty much what I expected; he died during a time when ghosts were scarce.

Isn't that the early stage of a resurgence of terror?
The ghosts are not numerous, and their desire to attack humans is not yet strong.

How could someone with the power of the Spying Ghost die in the early stages of the Terror Resurgence?

It seems this survivor is real...

It seems the ghost this survivor encountered was truly extraordinary.

Yan Ming also wrote down what Li Yan wanted to know on a piece of paper.

[The map rules of Wangcheng are "pretending to be a ghost." Outsiders like us can all pretend to be ghosts. I originally chose to be the Gleaning Ghost. During a battle, someone tugged at the ghost hand attached to the Gleaning Ghost's ghost eye, and then pulled your corpse out of the crack.] [After that, I was able to control the ghost eye on the corpse's forehead, and thus control the corpse, bringing you into this campus as a ▇▇ (crossed out) partner. Then, some kind of ghostly power revived you. You should know what happened after that.]

"The Spying Ghost? You mean... the prototype ghost of the rule 'Peeping at All Evils'?" Li Yan listened, slightly confused, but quickly understood. "You disguised yourself as that kind of ghost and then pulled me out of the rift... It sounds like the part of my own rules that involves spatial displacement."

He couldn't understand why his own corpse in reality could be summoned by Yan Ming in the Ghost Realm. Could it be that the Spying Ghost was highly bound to him?
But if that's the case, why did Yan Ming summon not the real Spying Ghost, but his corpse instead?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

However, Li Yan didn't dwell on the question too much. He continued to ask, "How did you get in here? If I'm not mistaken, this should be an abandoned game area, right?"

He looked down at the evacuation point sign next to him and clicked his tongue in amazement: "You could say that the last time there were 'players' here was several years, maybe even a decade or two ago, right? How could you possibly get into a place like this?"

There are many things about Yan Ming that he can't understand, and this is one of them.

Moreover, he could tell that Yan Ming was not a player of the strange game.

How can someone who isn't a player be allowed to enter a game area that's been abandoned for so long?
Is this your home?
[The game arena you're referring to is actually inside the body of a ghost. You can enter using special methods. Like this illusory city, which is actually inside the body of a bloated, starving ghost.]

"What? Are you kidding me?"

Li Yan found Yan Ming's words unbelievable; he had never heard of such a claim before.

The ghost's body contains the City of Illusions, and the City of Illusions is the arena for bizarre games.
This matter is of great importance. Li Yan couldn't immediately determine what it would mean if it were true, but he could roughly understand its significance.

Yan Ming was satisfied with Li Yan's reaction. He already knew from Dr. Zhang's diary that the players of the eerie game were unaware of the relevant theories of the Ghost Realm.

Every player who learns of this would probably be just as surprised as he was when he sat in front of Dr. Wang.

What are you planning to do now? Try to find a way to revive yourself?

Yan Ming wanted to know Li Yan's thoughts.

Li Yan thought for a moment, his expression becoming somewhat solemn: "I am already a dead man, my life depends on the power of a ghost in Wangcheng, so whether I am resurrected or not makes no difference."

He sighed deeply: "The only thing I regret is that I knew there would be disasters in the outside world, but I was unable to do anything for my own country."

After speaking, Li Yan looked at Yan Ming, his eyes shining brightly: "However, I have met you here, which is probably the best arrangement. I will do my best to help you leave Wangcheng. I only hope that you can tell the country about the 'Ghost Domain'."

"I can give you a few addresses. Just write down what you know and send this letter. You can use my code name 'Ghost Eye' and my real name. Someone should take this seriously. As long as you're just sending a letter, you don't need to worry about anyone being able to find you. You should be able to hide yourself, right?"

Yan Ming remained silent, not saying a word, but sighing inwardly.

When he first saw the cowardly Dr. Zhang, he wondered if there were people in the world who would actually do something before a disaster struck.

He seems to have seen it now, but unfortunately, it's all over.

Yan Ming did not extinguish Li Yan's hope, but simply nodded in agreement.

However, when he saw the ghost eye on Li Yan's forehead, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Yes, Li Yan said that the last thing he did before he died was to come and find me...

Wasn't my biggest ordeal before entering the Ghost Realm the one I was haunted by the Spying Ghost?

and many more.
