The female corpse possessing vengeful ghost traits is extremely difficult to handle; it cannot be killed, cannot disappear, and once touched, it will cause you to melt into a puddle of water.

Attempting to fight against such a group of female corpses without fleeing seems almost hopeless.

However, the captains cannot flee; they must deal with the present situation.

Despite the difficulties, they still found a way to solve the issue.

“The ghostly stuff in this building is finally dealt with. Every female corpse couldn’t be burned by the Ghost Flame and could only be thrown into The World of Ghost Drawing. Truly difficult to handle.” Li Jun extinguished the Ghost Flame again at this moment.

The Ghost Domain connected to Ping’an Tower disappeared.

Everything around returned to normal, yet his face seemed to have melted, the whole face was distorted, and if supernatural power was used further, his ghost makeup would completely vanish.

Ah Hong came over to reapply makeup for Li Jun.

Despite this being somewhat troublesome, working together, the two could exchange minimal cost for maximum supernatural power, a worthwhile trade.

“I also can’t connect to Ping’an Tower for too long; otherwise, the vengeful ghost in the Ghost Drawing might leave Ping’an Tower and come here. Once it escapes, the Ghost Drawing incident will replay, which is not permissible.”

Li Jun calmly stated as he continued applying makeup.

“You should worry more about yourself now.” Ah Hong remarked while putting on makeup for him.

Li Jun’s tone remained unchanged and expressionless: “I have nothing to worry about; the real me is already dead. I’m merely a person resurrected supernaturally. The reason for choosing to draw me is because I’m suitable to maneuver around this skin, handle Ping’an Tower; a person already dead won’t die again.”

“What I can do now is desperately handle supernatural events until the moment I can’t stand anymore. I’ve burned everything; what’s left is only this determination.”

Though the words were calm, they conveyed a sense of unstoppable resolve.

Ah Hong opened her mouth, wanting to say something but held back.

She knew the Li Jun before her had no emotions left; fear of life and death wouldn’t appear in him, nor would any sorrow.

“Wait, there’s movement again.” Suddenly, Li Jun turned his head and glanced at a hallway door within the building.

The sound of water accompanied by footsteps echoed in the dead, damp building.

A strange aura spread, the supernatural had not dissipated.

Next moment.

A ghastly pale female corpse, clothed in old-fashioned outerwear with hair drenched all over, suddenly walked out and numbly looked at Li Jun and Ah Hong.

“How could this be? Earlier, all the female corpses in this building were dealt with and thrown into Ping’an Tower.” Ah Hong’s eyes narrowed, incredibly astonished.

Li Jun slightly lowered his gaze: “Half the building is submerged by lake water here, connecting to Ghost Lake. It’s likely other female corpses approached from elsewhere; this way, it’s good, no need to clean up Zhongzhou City, as here we can wait for all the ghosts to attack us, saving us from finding them.”

Saying that, Li Jun struggled to stand up again.

“Wait, your makeup isn’t finished yet.” Ah Hong said.

Li Jun expressionlessly replied: “No rush, it’s not too late to redo the makeup after handling things, can save you some energy, keep your state intact.”

However, while speaking.

In the stagnant water on the floor, a female corpse actually rose slowly from the water.

It is unbelievable, for that water merely touched the ankles, not deep, yet the new female corpse just rose from the water.

This scene seemed familiar.

Previously, at headquarters, there was a ghost rider named Lin Shan who died due to vengeful ghost resurgence, and after death, Lin Shan formed a strange stagnant water, though the water barely reached the knees, it could swallow people, sinking them into a bottomless water area, disappearing from the world.

Perhaps, the vengeful ghost he controlled and Ghost Lake had some connection, or rather, the ghost Lin Shan controlled was precisely a dead corpse in Ghost Lake.

And not just one female corpse, nearby one after another, new female corpses rose from the stagnant water, and this time in a quantity exceeding before, surrounding female corpses reached a very dense level.

Ten, twenty, no, fifty, sixty… eventually, it became impossible to count how many new female corpses emerged from the stagnant water.

“Earlier, they were all dealt with, how suddenly so many appeared again? How could this be, are the ghosts in Ghost Lake endless?”

At this moment, Ah Hong’s body trembled slightly, eyes sharply narrowing, both shocked and despairing.

Li Jun also deeply furrowed his brows: “Trying to bury us with quantity? No choice, have to try again.”

He took a deep breath, Ghost Flame ignited once more.

With strong will, he doesn’t care about repeatedly confronting vengeful ghosts, as long as his state holds.

Such a situation not only appeared in Li Jun’s location.

Leuk San faced the same situation over there.

He also found female corpses couldn’t be killed, couldn’t be handled, so he thought of a very unique method, wrapping female corpses in paper figures, thereby keeping them perpetually dormant within paper figures as long as his paper figures remain intact, these female corpses will never come out to kill.

The emergency measure proved very useful.

Leuk San possessed thirty paper figures, which rapidly dealt with thirty female corpses without spending much time.

However, at this moment, observing the continuously emerging female corpses, in quantities exceeding before, his face suddenly revealed surprise.

“Impossible.”

Leuk San’s stunned voice echoed inside the lifeless building.

“No, absolutely impossible for this, how could this thing’s quantity be unlimited, if each is a vengeful ghost, then no matter how terrifying Ghost Lake may be, it’s impossible to endlessly produce new vengeful ghosts.”

Facing this outcome, he couldn’t accept it.

Because Leuk San could handle thirty, forty female corpses, even fifty, but he wasn’t limitless, exceeding his limit he’d couldn’t withstand.

Vengeful ghosts though won’t give Leuk San time to be stunned.

Stagnant water swayed, the sound of walking emerged.

All those cold female corpses were approaching from all directions, like a white tidal wave, going to engulf Leuk San.

…

The situation seemed to abruptly shift from improvement to despair.

The captain couldn’t withstand such dreadful consumption.

Yet elsewhere.

Outside Zhongzhou City, here, a newly appeared river broke out, and Yang Jian appeared, standing on the tumultuous dark river, his feet seeming like they stood on solid ground with no sinking tendency.

This river was formed after he modified the terrain, no longer belonging to Ghost Lake’s domain.

This was a water area under his jurisdiction.

Having stolen roughly forty percent of Ghost Lake’s supernatural elements, separating through water areas, trapping Ghost Lake within Zhongzhou City’s boundaries, remaining supernatural elements spread along various rivers big and small, the impact wasn’t particularly large, yet the influencing scope was vast.

This was an unavoidable situation.

His stolen supernatural elements losing control was better than Ghost Lake losing control.

If not done, there’d be no way to contain Ghost Lake.

“Feng Quan warned correctly, the things ghosts in Ghost Lake can do, so can I. If it can make corpses akin to vengeful ghosts appear, then I can too.” Yang Jian’s gaze shifted slightly, gripping the Deceiving Ghost Necklace in his hand.

To do so, one must attempt it on living people.

But Yang Jian needn’t use living people; he can create living people himself.

Soon.

A fresh, animated body appeared before him.

This person was quite familiar, a messenger previously deceased in Ghost Post Office, Wang Shan.

No mistake, Yang Jian created Wang Shan anew.

No other reason, he’s convenient to command, after all, not many possess supernatural experience and knowledge; his Ghost Shadow memory didn’t contain many suitable candidates.

Of course, Yang Xiaohua and the eagle were also rather suitable, but given they were already resurrected before, Yang Jian didn’t want a second Yang Xiaohua or eagle to appear.

The Ghost Shadow invaded this body, granting it new memories.

Soon, Wang Shan opened his eyes and awoke.

“All the memories are in your mind, take your time to recall them.”

Yang Jian didn’t want to explain too much; he directly altered and inserted all the subsequent information into Wang Shan’s mind.

Wang Shan used to be a messenger, adept at accepting things quickly, his eyes gradually regained brightness: “So that’s how it is, you’ve resurrected me again. I died once exploring the killing patterns of the Ghost Lake for you, and now it’s the second time? Seems I’m really unlucky, dying and resurrecting, resurrecting and dying again, it’s like falling into hell after death, my soul repeatedly tortured.”

“You have no choice.” Yang Jian said coldly, “Neither do I.”

“I understand, how do you want me to die this time.”

Wang Shan sighed, accepting his fate as a tool.

Yang Jian said, “I’ll kill you.”

The next moment.

Wang Shan slipped into the river suddenly.

As the river water roiled, he was quickly swallowed up, and this water was peculiar, like it possessed some incomprehensible supernatural power, making struggle and ascent impossible.

Very soon.

Wang Shan drowned.

His body rapidly disintegrated.

An ordinary body couldn’t withstand the supernatural erosion of Ghost Lake, so the flesh began to dissolve, leaving not even bones behind, completely turning into a watery residue mixed with the river.

Wang Shan’s disappearance was unremarkable.

But for Yang Jian, it was a new beginning.

Yang Jian needed to mimic Ghost Lake and quickly grasp forty percent of its supernatural power, only then could he confront the fierce ghost within Ghost Lake.

“Wang Shan’s disappearance wasn’t true disappearance; he merely integrated into the lake water. Using supernatural power, he will appear again, like those memories stored within the Ghost Shadow.”

“What I need to do now is to have Wang Shan, turned into a fierce ghost, appear in front of me.”

He touched the rolling river beneath him, a sort of indescribable connection emerged in Yang Jian’s heart, this connection had always been present, allowing him to control the lake water.

After some attempts.

Gradually, an incredible scene unfolded, as the river surged, a humanoid silhouette slowly formed within the water.

This wasn’t a corpse, but a form purely created from lake water.

Yet gradually, this person became more real.

Finally dripping wet, the corpse pale without any trace of blood, Wang Shan appeared again in front of Yang Jian.

“So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is…. ” At this moment Yang Jian understood, understood what exactly was going on with those female corpses.

Why all those female corpses seemed bloodless.

Because the female corpses weren’t pure dead bodies; they were formed by the water from Ghost Lake.

A corpse is merely a mass of lake water.

Ghost Lake is the fierce ghost; even if divided into small masses of lake water, it remains a ghost.

Just like the fierce ghost, no matter how dismembered, the remaining limbs are the fierce ghost, still possessing supernatural powers.

But unlike other ghosts, Ghost Lake can disperse and concentrate.

Yang Jian continued to observe Wang Shan within the water; he noticed Wang Shan’s eyes first, not the pale white of a female corpse, but crimson, vaguely emitting a faint red glow, while Wang Shan’s palms were slightly darkened, completely distinct from the rest of his skin color.

This reflected his Ghost Eye and Ghost Hand powers.

There was even a vague, dim shadow behind Wang Shan.

“The female corpses within Ghost Lake are formed from the fierce ghost controlling Ghost Lake, as a new supernatural entity, so the Ghost Lake I control becomes the ghost formed from me.”

Yang Jian didn’t find it difficult to understand the scene before him.

It’s just that the supernatural power Wang Shan controlled was very weak, because neither the Ghost Eye nor Ghost Hand’s supernatural powers belonged to him, they belonged to Yang Jian; he was merely influenced.

But this was already enough.

Because perfect possesses the characteristics of the fierce ghost, unable to be killed.

But correspondingly Wang Shan no longer possessed the consciousness of a living being, merely a supernatural entity formed by lake water.

“This is sufficient, at least to deal with those female corpses won’t be a problem.”

Yang Jian thought to himself: “But the number is not enough, I need a sufficient quantity. However, to achieve this, new people must die in the lake water; only then can the deceased transform into fierce ghosts within the water.”

After realizing this, he still didn’t sacrifice ordinary people.

Yang Jian chose to continue using the Deceiving Ghost Necklace.

Creating living human bodies is not a big deal for the supernatural, nor for him, because this isn’t confronting fierce ghosts, just simply influencing reality.

The next moment.

One by one, living humans with a dead aura appeared on the river surface.

Ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred… The numbers increased at an unbelievable rate.

The Deceiving Ghost was reviving quickly; Yang Jian had borrowed too much supernatural power at once.

A distorted eerie ghost figure broke free from the necklace’s restraints and appeared in reality.

“Obey me and work, don’t cause trouble for me.” Yang Jian coldly extended his darkened hand and gripped the fierce ghost.

The Deceiving Ghost couldn’t erode the Ghost Shadow; it failed in the confrontation with the Ghost Shadow, so it could only be temporarily controlled by Yang Jian, ultimately recklessly borrowing supernatural power.

Two hundred, three hundred, four hundred… The numbers continued to surge.

Indeed, the power of the supernatural is terrifying.

To be safe, Yang Jian relentlessly increased the number to one thousand two hundred before stopping.

This was only the first batch; if insufficient, he would choose to increase it.

The next moment, the Ghost Shadow covered, eroding these living corpses with dead auras, producing new memories, and each memory was different, all those who died in Dachuan City before.

Furthermore, to distinguish from the fierce ghosts in Ghost Lake, this time Yang Jian chose to resurrect only males.

“Out of all those who died in Dachuan City, you are the most outstanding among ordinary people.”

Yang Jian gazed at these people: “I resurrected you to make you die for me, only in this way can you fall into Ghost Lake, transform into fierce ghosts, and help me solve this supernatural incident.”

“Of course, this is the purpose of our existence.”

“After dying, if I can protect other living people, my death won’t be in vain, thank you Yang Jian for giving me this opportunity.”

“I’ve already died once, dying again means nothing, take my life, don’t spare those ghost things.”

A group of eerily resurrected people said no more and plunged into the river.

The river roiled, quickly swallowing them up.

Yang Jian stood expressionless and silent on the roiling river, watching these people disappear before him.

A cruel world always breeds cruel people.

It’s not the world changing, but people adapting to this world.

Yang Jian was no exception, watching one thousand two hundred eerily resurrected people disappearing again, feeling no ripple inside.

At least their disappearance will become a new supernatural power, helping him confront Ghost Lake, and also allow other living people in Zhongzhou City to survive safely.

This is worthwhile.
