Chapter 1504: Chapter 1467: Past Life Form

Even in the morning, with bright sunlight, certain areas of Dahai City are still shrouded in darkness.

This is an old residential building.

The residents inside the building live as usual, but today, when the residents of the building woke up, they found that the world had changed.

Outside was a dim expanse with not a trace of light, and most eerily, they could no longer see the outside scenery, as if the building had been completely isolated from the world.

Such an inexplicable occurrence in reality immediately triggered panic among all residents. They attempted to flee, but ended up completely lost in the dim world and could not return. Some tried to call for help, but all electronic devices lost their signal.

Some clever individuals stocked up on food and water, hiding in their homes and refusing to go out.

Of course, there were also brave ones who began to explore the building, trying to find a way out.

However, just moments later, piercing screams echoed throughout the building.

People started dying.

A terrifying truth began to circulate within the building.

A horrifying ghost was wandering inside this building, and many people had already died at the hands of this ghost. The reason they couldn’t escape was precisely because of this ghost.

Initially, many people did not believe it.

But as events unfolded, some even saw the ghost wandering the corridors, causing those skeptical voices to gradually disappear.

However, fear and despair began to spread in the building.

If nothing unexpected happens, all the residents in this building would die here, even if the ghost didn’t kill them. After being sealed by the Ghost Domain, they would starve and die of thirst from lack of food and water.

Fortunately, the paranormal event had just begun, and things hadn’t reached that stage yet.

However, at this moment, a turn of events occurred.

Someone ignored the lockdown of the Ghost Domain and infiltrated the building from outside.

“Pulling the entire building into the Ghost Domain, if you’re not careful, it’s indeed easy to overlook. As expected, there are still many who slip through the net.” Yang Jian, holding a red spear, slightly raised his head to look at one of the floors in the building.

There, his Ghost Eye was interfered with, and his vision was seriously distorted.

This indicated that the ghost was wandering on those few floors.

“Fortunately, Sister Hong’s appearance wiped out the remaining Kings, allowing all the captains to handle paranormal events without worrying about being attacked. Otherwise, they would still be gathered together, constantly on guard against enemies.” Yang Jian thought to himself as he proceeded upstairs.

Just earlier, he had separated from Leuk San, Li Leping, He Yiner, He Yuelian, and Li Yang for efficiency.

Yang Jian climbed the stairs, making his way upwards, and soon arrived at the eighth floor of the building.

As soon as he reached this floor, the surrounding darkness was dispersed, and eerie green lights appeared out of nowhere. These lights then coalesced into cold Ghost Flames that, once ignited, began to burn the floor and rapidly spread upwards.

Pressed for time, he acted aggressively, directly using the Ghost Flame.

As long as the ghost was not a purely mental entity, the Ghost Flame could quickly pinpoint the ghost’s location.

Moreover, the Ghost Flame only burned the supernatural, having limited effect on ordinary people. With controlled timing, ordinary people wouldn’t suffer a bit of harm.

“Fire! There’s a fire!”

Soon, terrified screams from the residents came from the nearby rooms.

The appearance of the Ghost Flames scared them.

Yang Jian didn’t see the ghost, so he glanced around before proceeding to the Ninth Layer.

Clearly, the ghost wasn’t on this floor.

Upon reaching the floor above, Yang Jian’s gaze sharpened. He discovered a gap in the burning Ghost Flames, as if something had passed through and forcibly extinguished the flames, leaving a path. Surprisingly, he hadn’t noticed anything abnormal earlier.

“Ghosts that escaped from the Ghost Lake are terrifying; the Ghost Flame failing to block them is normal.”

Yang Jian quickly realized the level of the ghost he was dealing with.

He immediately became cautious, following the path where the Ghost Flame couldn’t reach.

If nothing unexpected happened, the end of this path would lead to the ghost.

The path the Ghost Flame couldn’t cover wasn’t a straight line; it curved. Yang Jian followed it, eventually seeing the path extending into the home of a resident, whose door was wide open, as if something had opened it.

Yang Jian could clearly see the incomplete handprints left on the door, charred black, as if they had been scorched.

It seemed the Ghost Flame had some effect, impacting the ghost to some extent.

But time was short. Had the Ghost Flame persisted a bit longer, the ghost might have been ignited.

However, Yang Jian couldn’t wait any longer.

He stepped into that household.

As soon as he set foot inside, his vision immediately blurred, unable to see anything clearly.

But this vague feeling disappeared quickly.

Soon after, Yang Jian noticed that everything around him had undergone a significant change. The room became unfamiliar and old, not like modern settings, but reminiscent of the 70s and 80s decor. He saw old celebrity posters on the walls, and the lighting was colorful.

A gray-white cloth was draped over the dark green sofa, and on the table nearby sat an old black-and-white TV.

“This is a scene created by supernatural forces, indicating that this ghost appeared sometime in the 70s or 80s and remembered the surrounding environment at that moment. That’s why it has been recreated now with supernatural power.” Yang Jian understood immediately what was happening since he had experienced many supernatural events by now, making him able to grasp this bizarre occurrence.

No hesitation.

The Ghost Flame burned again, trying to destroy everything.

However, this time, unexpectedly, the Ghost Flame did not drive away the supernatural, nor did it reveal the true nature of the room. Instead, as the Ghost Flame continued to burn, black liquid began seeping from the walls and the floor, accompanied by a strong smell of corpses.

It was as if many people had died in this room, with their bodies piled in some corner, yet to be discovered.

Without a word, a towering black Ghost Shadow behind Yang Jian began spreading in all directions.

The black Ghost Shadow covered, attempting to cover the medium of the ghost.

The black handprint previously on the door was incomplete and unusable. To trigger the curse of the Firewood Knife, a complete handprint or footprint was necessary.

As the Ghost Shadow invaded, the room’s supernatural aura became affected, the walls started to peel, and the old scene faded away, revealing its true state.

But this action seemed to anger the ghost hidden here.

Suddenly.

The room’s door slammed shut with a bang, followed by clear footsteps echoing from the bedroom.

Creak!

The door slowly opened, yet no figure appeared. However, an indescribable chill began spreading.

The ghost appeared but couldn’t be seen, or perhaps the ghost had perfectly merged with the surroundings, hidden within the room.

Yang Jian was uninterested in playing hide and seek, already holding a lotus-shaped golden oil lamp.

The oil lamp, fueled by eerie Corpse Oil, once lit, could reveal all hidden ghosts.

As the lamp was lit, the dim candlelight spread, and some previously non-existent things appeared before his eyes.

Under the lamp’s light, Yang Jian immediately saw an eerie figure, dressed in a long gown, with disheveled hair, dripping wet, continuously dripping water. The water carried the supernatural influence of the Ghost Lake, indicating this malevolent ghost had been soaking too long, unable to rid itself of the Ghost Lake’s impact even after escaping.

The ghost revealed by the lamp did not attack Yang Jian, as he hadn’t triggered the ghost’s killing pattern.

Yang Jian didn’t intend to waste time and raised a spear, preparing to pin the ghost down.

But just as he was about to act, his expression subtly changed.

Because at that moment, the ghost seemed to see Yang Jian, twisting its neck with cracking sounds, revealing a deathly pale face from beneath its messy black hair.

That face appeared familiar.

It resembled someone, no, it was her.

That was Yang Jian’s cousin from his rural hometown.

“A ghost’s appearance isn’t formed without reason; it might have interacted with my cousin before, or it might be her… not the current cousin, perhaps her past life.” Yang Jian’s eyes flickered.

It immediately reminded him of people like Sister Hong and He Yuelian.

Certain terrifying ghost tamers, even after death, could retain their consciousness and then abandon their supernatural powers to resurrect in someone through a manner beyond comprehension.

Although such a resurrection isn’t complete and has flaws.

It allows a ghost tamer to live on from one life to another.

“Imprison it.”

Yang Jian quickly regained his senses, changing his mind to imprison the ghost entirely. Maybe it could be useful later, considering his cousin from the countryside is still a mystery. She might surface one day in the future, and it wouldn’t be clear whether she’d be a friend or foe.

“A thrown spear will pin the ghost before me.”

To ensure success, Yang Jian softly muttered, making a wish.

The next moment, the spear was thrown, carrying the supernatural power of the Wishing Ghost.

This supernatural strike was flawless.

In just an instant.

The terrifying ghost before him was pinned to the ground.

Everything proceeded smoothly.

However, after the ghost was pinned by the Coffin Nail, the room’s supernatural scene did not dissipate, and the Ghost Domain enveloping the building remained.

This phenomenon suggests one thing: the source of the supernatural still exists, and the true ghost has not been imprisoned.
