Mysterious Awakening

Wang Xiaoming and his group were unaware that the person coming to their aid was Yang Jian, and they could not have imagined that Yang Jian was now in the midst of counter-invading the Ghost Domain.

If he were to succeed in his invasion, it would mean that Yang Jian could easily escape the next time he faced the Ghost Coffin, or at the very least, he would not be in mortal danger. It was a trial, a very necessary one, as he also wanted to confirm what would happen if his own Ghost Domain kept stacking up, what it would eventually become.

Would he be able to discover the source of the supernatural events, would he be able to uncover the truth behind his doubts?

But the terror in the darkness continued to unfold.

Because the ghost known as the Ghost Envoy was in this darkness.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming, Tong Qian, Li Jun, Feng Quan, and the others had bravely endured numerous supernatural assaults and were now close to the vicinity of the Ghost Coffin.

In front of them, a human silhouette was hidden in the darkness, standing still like a corpse, facing them. Beneath that human outline was an object shaped like a coffin, seemingly fused together with it, creating an especially eerie and unsettling sight.

As the group drew nearer, the ghost in front seemed to have no reaction at all, as if it lost its ability to move, posing no threat whatsoever.

But such naive thinking was obviously impossible,

This ghost was not immobile, although it remained stationary for most of the time, its posture changed every so often.

When Wang Xiaoming first lured the ghost into the Ghost Coffin, it was lying inside the coffin, with a black coffin lid formed by the Ghost Domain pressing down on top of it.

After that, the coffin lid disappeared, turning back into a Ghost Domain that began to erode everything around it.

The ghost was no longer lying down, but had sat up as if raised from the dead, half of its body exposed outside of the coffin lid, stiff and straight, its head not facing Wang Xiaoming and the others, but the front of the coffin.

By now... the ghost sitting in the coffin had stood up and was now facing them.

It, as if waiting for the rest to draw closer.

"It’s just ahead, about eight meters away."

Wang Xiaoming’s voice remained calm, facing such a supernatural phenomenon as an ordinary person, he showed no sign of shrinking back in fear.

The others also saw the silhouette in the darkness, looking extremely solemn.

The true source of terror was right here; to retrieve the Ghost Coffin, they must make direct contact with such a ghost, or else they could only watch helplessly as it fully revived.

"I’ll take the lead," Li Jun said solemnly at this moment. "I’ll deal with that ghost and get it out of the Ghost Coffin, Feng Quan, you’re responsible for retrieving it, Tong Qian, you and the others help me withstand the ghost attacks. If I die, you all take Professor Wang and withdraw."

Not much was said, but it was simple and clear.

There was no need for further explanation; if even he were to fall, it would mean that the ghost had become unmanageable, and no one else should think about retrieving the Ghost Coffin. It would be good enough if they could just save themselves and escape.

"Can you withstand it?"

Feng Quan took a look: "Things could go badly, and you could die. According to Yang Jian’s analysis, this thing should still be able to suppress the power of six ghosts. At least three people who have mastered two ghosts each would be needed to avoid being attacked. Why not go together, we can just die here together."

"The risk is too high, I refuse," Li Jun said; "We can’t stake everyone’s lives on one chance."

"Wait a minute," suddenly, Wang Xiaoming stopped walking and signaled everyone else to halt.

"What’s wrong?" someone asked.

Wang Xiaoming frowned: "Something’s not right. From the moment we got close to the Ghost Coffin until now, we haven’t suffered a single supernatural attack, the previously revived supernatural beings have disappeared." řＡΝ∅ʙÊš

"Don’t feel that, we just withstood an attack," Feng Quan said, amazed.

"How can you not feel it? According to the frequency of the previous attacks, this time it’s been at least five seconds without one attacking us, you guys really didn’t notice such a big change?" Wang Xiaoming said.

Five seconds?

Who has the mind to count that?

This thought crossed everyone’s mind.

"Act now, all together," suddenly, Wang Xiaoming uttered this sentence.

Huh?

Wasn’t it Li Jun taking the lead?

Everyone was again puzzled.

However, before they could finish their thoughts, one of the ghost tamers next to them suddenly cried out in horror, apparently seized by something and then suddenly fell to the ground, a terrible force dragging him rapidly towards the ghost’s location.

"Be careful," Feng Quan exclaimed, reaching out to grab him in a hurry.

But he had hardly touched the person before his grip slipped.

Tong Qian also reacted, and as she turned her face, she saw a ghost face that wanted to cry like that of a peaceful dead person, but the ghost face moved, and it couldn’t seem to cry anymore.

Was it suppressed?

This idea popped into Tong Qian’s mind.

This inescapable ability to suppress ghost tamers was not something they had encountered for the first time. They had felt it during previous encounters, an inescapable eerie power, which was why they had chosen to act as a team. This way, if one person’s abilities got suppressed, the others could compensate.

It was because of this that they had been able to walk back and forth twice in this terrifying Ghost Domain without incident.

The rescue attempt by the two people failed, and Li Jun’s Ghost Domain extended over the attacked ghost tamer, attempting to bring him back with the Ghost Domain.

However, the Ghost Domain had covered him, but the rescue failed.

The person cried out in horror, then disappeared into the darkness, and it was vaguely visible that the companion had just struggled and fallen into the Ghost Coffin.

"What was that thing just now?" someone called out frantically.

"I didn’t see it coming; it just suddenly appeared and attacked us," Feng Quan said with a hint of tension in his voice. "When I came into contact with it, my ghostly abilities were suppressed, and it also underwent changes. Even though we weren’t alone anymore, according to previous patterns, it shouldn’t have been possible for it to attack a ghost controller."

"It wasn’t that thing that attacked us; it was something else. A Ghost Envoy controlled something as a medium, breaking through the distance restriction." Wang Xiaoming’s gaze flickered. "Didn’t you say before that the state of not being alone has a certain distance limitation? If a ghost can break this restriction, then its attack pattern would change."

"It is learning and growing, and even faster than the Hungry Ghost. This change occurred after it returned to the Ghost Coffin. We must stop it from continuing to occupy the Ghost Coffin."

The thing I feared the most has still happened.

Unfortunately, our preparations were inadequate at the beginning, and we didn’t secure it quickly enough; otherwise, even if this ghost fully revived, I wouldn’t be worried. After all, once it’s contained, the Ghost Coffin wouldn’t just appear out of nowhere; it would be sealed off forever.

"Let’s do it together." Li Jun now realized why Wang Xiaoming had wanted everyone to act together earlier.

He had guessed that the pattern might change, that being attacked was possible even if they weren’t alone. So, he wanted to snatch away the Ghost Coffin before the ghost could act. Discover more stories at

However, the others hesitated, showing they didn’t understand.

Of course, this was not their fault. After all, everyone had been cautious and safe, and changing the plan all of a sudden was not something everyone could accept. Each ghost controller has their own thoughts; it is not like on Wang Xiaoming’s word everyone would rush forward without blinking.

But the death of this one teammate shocked them awake.

At this moment, everyone realized that the team was not safe, that the ghost had broken this rule. Now everyone’s lives were in danger, and at this point, there was no turning back. They had to bite the bullet and retrieve the Ghost Coffin. If they did not do this, not only would they not be able to leave alive, but they would also have to watch helplessly as the ghost continued to revive.

Li Jun was not afraid; he was the first to charge over, his body covered in a layer of strange, greenish light, flickering like a Ghost Flame in the darkness.

The others were just a step slower but did not hesitate nonetheless.

This was not their first time dealing with a mysterious phenomenon. They knew full well that when the time came to fight with all their might, they had to do just that.

But at that moment,

A dull thud came from within the Ghost Coffin, a sound not loud but enough to make the Ghost Coffin tremble.

Standing inside the Ghost Coffin, the ghost moved again at this time. Its stiff body shook slightly as one leg stepped out of the Ghost Coffin and onto the outside.

From the beginning until now, the ghost had finally taken one step out of the coffin.

Yet, its other foot was still inside the Ghost Coffin.

Despite that, an unpredictable horror was escalating.

Just then, the others had already approached the Ghost Coffin.

They were less than a meter apart.

"You get the Ghost Coffin," Li Jun roared lowly as he reached his hand out toward the ghost that had stepped out of the Ghost Coffin.

The greenish light dispersed the darkness around him, burning vigorously like an intense Ghost Flame, and so was almost half of his body, from which a burnt stench exuded, the smell resembling that of a cadaver incinerator burning a body.

Pain contorted Li Jun’s face.

His Ghost Domain actually came from a Ghost Flame; the light of the greenish Ghost Domain was the light of the Ghost Flame.

If Li Jun overused this power of his Ghost Domain, the Ghost Flame would burn him into a dried corpse, and his desiccated corpse, after death, would become the vessel for the revival of the Ghost Flame, turning into a terrifying ghost.

That’s why he seldom squandered his ghostly ability.

But now, it didn’t matter anymore, since if they didn’t fight to win this time, everyone would die.

Trusting Li Jun, the others headed straight for the Ghost Coffin while also ensuring that Li Jun wasn’t attacked by other supernatural entities.

However, just as Li Jun’s hand touched the ghost,

The ghost rebooted.

But this reboot was different from before; it underwent some kind of irreversible, terrifying change. The ghost that Li Jun had grabbed did not vanish and remained standing in the Ghost Coffin, but the rebooting power didn’t stop there.

Near the Ghost Coffin, suddenly another Ghost Coffin appeared, identical to the one they were next to. However, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that there was also a ghost standing inside this new coffin, its face towards them. Under the illumination of the Ghost Flame, the dark, expressionless face of the dead appeared exceptionally eerie.

"How can this be?" Feng Quan, who was about to take the Ghost Coffin, gave a start.

But his shock was just beginning.

Subsequently, a third Ghost Coffin appeared, with another ghost standing inside it. This seemed to open some dreadful source, and soon a fourth Ghost Coffin, a fifth... until very quickly, they were surrounded by numerous coffins, with each one standing a ghost, all seemingly staring at them.

Seeing this scene, everyone froze.

Even Wang Xiaoming narrowed his eyes as if witnessing something utterly unbelievable. He had considered what changes there might be after the ghost in the Ghost Coffin fully revived, but he never expected this.

"Hey, hey, you’re joking, right?"

A ghost controller’s voice trembled upon seeing this scene.

Tong Qian and Feng Quan were also stunned, both standing still, at a loss for what to do next, as the number of ghosts was no longer just one.

As they looked around, hundreds of Ghost Coffins surrounded them, meaning there were at least hundreds of ghosts nearby. Moreover, the ghosts standing in these coffins were not just for show.

They saw that several nearby coffins’ ghosts had started to move, stepping out of the coffins with stiff and sluggish movements as if they were about to surround them.

Soon, dozens, hundreds of the coffins’ ghosts stirred; all of them were on the move.

"It’s over."

At this moment, thoughts of fighting, struggling, surviving—all disappeared from everyone’s minds, leaving only a deep sense of despair.

The sight before them made it clear what a truly unsolvable supernatural event was.
