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

Three days.

This is the time Yang Jian left before he left.

He said that.

I will be back in three days.

But now.

The time has come.

The familiar crimson ghost realm did not appear in the real world, nor did any news about Yang Jian return.

He seemed to have vanished into some strange instance once again, leaving not a trace.

This made the atmosphere in the meeting room even more oppressive.

No one wants to admit a fact.

But the fact is right in front of us.

They cannot place all the hopes of the Nine Provinces on Yang Jian alone.

Even though Yang Jian is very strong.

Even though he had devoured many vengeful ghosts, and even made all the ghosts in the entire eerie dungeon tremble in fear.

But he wasn't here after all.

A person outside of reality cannot immediately stop the changes in Donghai City, nor can they immediately deal with the strange events in various parts of Kyushu.

One of the people in charge spoke with a hoarse voice.

"In other words, we must make arrangements based on the assumption that Yang Jian will not be able to return in time."

He felt a chill run down his spine when he said those words.

If Yang Jian doesn't come back.

What can Kyushu use to stop them?

Qin Taotao leaned back in her chair, her face even paler than before.

The strange power within her was still suppressing her.

That power came from the ghost tamers of the previous era, like a nail driven into her body, preventing her from fully utilizing her supernatural abilities.

She should have been the strongest fighting force in Kyushu right now.

But now, she even has difficulty maintaining a supernatural state for a long time.

In the conference room, someone whispered:

"If we don't rely on Yang Jian, how many people can we mobilize?"

No one answered.

This question does not require an answer.

Only Qin Taotao.

As for the ordinary army, needless to say.

Facing a vengeful ghost,

Conventional weapons have limited effectiveness.

Especially for events of this magnitude, sending more people is just filling the gaps.

Qin Taotao remained silent for a while before slowly speaking.

"From now on, all plans must not be based on the premise that Yang Jian will definitely return."

Her voice wasn't loud.

But those words were like a stone, hitting everyone's heart.

"First, continue to monitor Donghai City."

"Second, re-examine all the files on Ghost Painting, Luo Qian, the Ghost Post Office, and Li Yue."

"Third, organize all the sealed supernatural items currently existing in Kyushu."

"All usable items are included in the emergency response plan."

Someone's expression changed.

"Captain Qin, many of those things are unstable."

Qin Taotao glanced at him.

"Instability is better than nothing."

The man opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Yes.

What stability is there left now?

The vengeful ghost has fully resurrected.

Donghai City was sealed off by Luo Qian.

The ghost painting fell into enemy hands.

The Ghost Post Office also encountered problems.

The demon tamers of the previous era are slowly revealing their fangs.

If Kyushu continues to prioritize stability, it will only be slowly dragged down and killed in the end.

The sound of keyboards clicking filled the conference room again.

However, compared to before, everyone seemed more somber this time.

They are looking for a solution.

But they all knew in their hearts that the person who could truly change the situation was not here.

Time passed second by second.

New intelligence kept popping up on the screen.

A ghost knocking on the door occurred in a certain city.

A large number of people have gone missing in a certain county.

A mountainous area was shrouded in mist, and none of those who entered returned.

Messages piled up on the screen like a mountain constantly pressing down.

Someone couldn't help but rub their temples.

"If this continues, Kyushu will collapse on its own before the Peach Blossom Spring Project is even launched."

No one refuted this statement.

Because what he said is true.

Qin Taotao stared at the screen, her eyes growing colder and colder.

She knew it very well.

Those people from the previous era must have been waiting for this outcome as well.

The more chaotic the reality and the more exhausted the headquarters becomes, the easier it is for them to achieve their goals.

The resurgence of evil spirits is not the end of the disaster.

It's just the beginning of someone's plan.

Just then.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the meeting room.

A technician practically burst in.

His face was deathly pale, and he held a newly printed report in his hand, his voice trembling.

"Captain Qin, urgent message!"

Qin Taotao looked up.

"explain."

The technician swallowed hard.

"The strange events in some cities and regions of Kyushu are rapidly subsiding!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room abruptly looked up.

Rapid fading?

These four words are too abrupt.

In the current situation, paranormal events will only increase and become more serious.

How could it suddenly disappear?

One of the people in charge immediately stood up.

"Where did the incident occur?"

The technician quickly replied, "The outskirts of Nanjiang City, Luohe District, Jiangbei No. 3 urban area, and several villages and towns in the southwest."

"The current statistics cover more than twenty regions."

"And the number is still increasing."

The meeting room erupted in chaos.

"How could this happen?"

"Is this a monitoring error?"

"The resurgence of vengeful spirits in those places is quite significant; how could they simply disappear without a trace?"

"Could it be that something from Donghai City has spread here?"

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed.

If it was Luo Qian's group who did it, then things will be even more complicated.

They couldn't possibly handle supernatural events in Kyushu for no reason.

Unless they are expanding their influence in another way.

Qin Taotao's eyes narrowed.

Has the Ghost Realm in Donghai City changed?

The technician answered immediately.

"no."

"The perimeter of Donghai City remains sealed off by graves, and there are no signs of expansion."

"Li Yue did not appear either."

Qin Taotao then asked, "What about the Ghost Post Office?"

There are no new developments for now.

Qin Taotao frowned even more deeply.

Not Luo Qian?

It wasn't the guy who took over Li Yue's consciousness either?

Who could it be?

At that moment, someone whispered, "Could it be some newly appeared, terrifying ghost? Is it devouring other ghosts?"

The meeting room fell silent again.

It's not that vengeful spirits won't influence each other.

Some extremely terrifying ghosts can indeed suppress or even devour other supernatural entities.

But if that's the case, it's not good news either.

A ghost capable of eradicating paranormal events in more than twenty regions in a short period of time is more terrifying than they can imagine.

Qin Taotao did not draw a conclusion immediately.

"Check the surveillance footage."

"I want to see the footage from the scene."

"Access as much surveillance footage as possible from all areas."

The technician immediately sat down and began typing rapidly on the keyboard.

The conference room's large screen flickered.

Blurry video clips began to be retrieved.

The first one to appear was an old street on the outskirts of Nanjiang City.

That street has been blocked off.

Abandoned shops line both sides of the road, and black footprints stretch from one end of the street to the other.

The sky in the picture is very dark.

Even though it was daytime, the whole street seemed to be shrouded in a hazy, gray shadow.

There is background noise in the surveillance footage.

Snowflakes kept appearing at the edges of the screen.

The technicians explained, "What happened here before was a wandering paranormal event."

"Code name: Ghost Footprint"

"Anyone who steps in those footprints will disappear within three minutes."

"The missing person will eventually appear in the shoe store at the end of the street, his body folded into an old cloth shoe."
