With his previous experience of being surrounded by ghosts on the Ghost Ship, Yang Jian was somewhat confident in this action. The last time on the Ghost Ship, he couldn’t use the supernatural powers of Ghost Lake, leading to the dismembered ghost constantly reviving and its numbers never decreasing, which almost exhausted him to death.

But this time was different.

By borrowing the supernatural powers of Ghost Lake, he could first filter out some ghosts that were not high in Terror Level, significantly reducing the number of ghosts. Moreover, the dismembered ghosts would sink into Ghost Lake and wouldn’t continue to cause trouble.

Therefore, Yang Jian believed that as long as he could resist the supernatural assaults and then use reboot, he could wear down the Ghost Ship.

Furthermore, to be cautious, he also used the Supernatural Pendulum Clock to prevent the awkward situation where the rebooting time point was filled with supernatural elements last time.

However, although he gained some confidence, Yang Jian was still in danger.

His entire reliance was on the rebooting of Ghost Eyes.

If the reboot had any problems, Yang Jian would instantly find himself in a dangerous situation, possibly even directly dying a tragic death.

And the terrifying ghosts around each had different supernatural powers. Some attacked Yang Jian’s consciousness but were blocked by the Evil Hound, some invaded Yang Jian’s body but were shaken off by rebooting, and some produced terrible curses but were cut off by Ghost Scissors…

All these supernatural assaults were deadly, but Yang Jian managed to dissolve them all.

The Firewood Knife affixed to the red long spear did not disappoint Yang Jian either. Any ghost struck by it was dismembered one by one. So far, no ghost could successfully withstand the assault of the Firewood Knife. If it did, then Yang Jian would immediately switch to the Coffin Nail to directly nail the ghost down to death.

The powerful paranormal weapons combined with Yang Jian’s own supernatural powers enabled him to withstand the attacks till now.

“The number of ghosts is still increasing…” Yang Jian had just dismembered a ghost and took a moment to observe his surroundings.

He found that more ghosts were falling on Ghost Lake bit by bit on the Ghost Ship. Although the number falling was somewhat reduced compared to before, as long as the number of ghosts continued to increase, it meant that the Ghost Ship’s second wave of attacks was still ongoing and had not yet ended.

“There’s no choice but to continue fighting. Now I need to pay attention to the order of confronting the ghosts. I must first deal with the ghosts that have set their sights on me. These ghosts are the most dangerous. Even though I haven’t done anything, the ghosts still attack me. If they are released, who knows how many people will be killed? Once out of control, it might become another Hungry Ghost incident.”

Yang Jian intentionally took action, first dealing with the ghosts that were targeting him.

If at some point, too many ghosts were attacking him, he would unhesitatingly use Ghost Scissors.

Because Yang Jian had no confidence in enduring an assault by multiple ghosts at the same time, after such an attack, whether he would still have the life to use rebooting was questionable. He might even die before he had a chance to reboot.

To avoid such situations, he kept his danger within a certain range.

Just as Yang Jian was trying every means to confront the ghosts, on the Ghost Ship, a familiar yet eerie figure was now staring intently at him. This figure seemed to have been observing Yang Jian for some time, but Yang Jian hadn’t noticed until now.

After a long period of observation.

This figure on the Ghost Ship finally moved.

It took a step forward, and like other ghosts, directly fell from the ship with a splash into Ghost Lake. However, the cold Ghost Lake couldn’t swallow it. This figure instead climbed out of Ghost Water, eventually standing motionlessly on the lake surface.

Yang Jian took slight notice of the new ghost nearby.

At this moment, several Ghost Eyes were open, watching any movements around. One Ghost Eye glanced and saw this eerie figure.

In just a moment, Yang Jian noticed.

“That is… the King, codenamed Captain? Wasn’t he already taken down by me?”

Yang Jian’s expression suddenly changed. To confirm he wasn’t mistaken, he rotated the Ghost Eye and looked several times.

No mistake, it was indeed the Captain, codenamed King. The appearance was identical—entirely the same person.

“The Captain’s corpse codenamed King still lies in Ghost Lake, absolutely without the possibility of revival. This person looks identical to that Captain. It might be an appearance formed by some supernatural power, closely related to the Ghost Ship. It might even be the Source Ghost of the Ghost Ship.”

Yang Jian thought about many things instantly, but an instinctual intuition told him he had to eliminate this guy, absolutely cannot let it be undeterred.

The moment this intuition emerged, he immediately took action.

“Spear thrown, will certainly pierce that one afar.” Yang Jian softly whispered, holding the red spear and made a wish.

As soon as this wish emerged, his body was instantly invaded by scarlet blood. The speed of this invasion was terrifying, and the scope much larger than before, nearly engulfing his entire self, and even the red gun barrel twisted at this moment, as if a trapped corpse struggling to break free.

This was an omen that the Wishing Ghost was about to revive.

Just one wish resulted in such a terrifying price, showcasing how difficult the wish was to realize.

Fortunately, Yang Jian was well prepared; as he wished, he directly entered the reboot state.

Yet even so, the sticky blood invasion continued; even a short reboot couldn’t entirely evade it.

No choice, Yang Jian had to maintain the reboot state.

This time he rebooted for a full ten seconds, and the red blood on his body thoroughly disappeared.

“If not for rebooting, the wishing ghost would have revived this time, and I would be completely invaded by the blood…”

Yang Jian was fearful at this moment, but having paid such a large price, he couldn’t do nothing.

The red spear still resolutely aimed at that Captain-like ghost and was thrown.

For this attack, Yang Jian even abandoned resisting the other ghosts nearby.

Yang Jian disrupting his rhythm and acting so unusually naturally attracted the attention of not far away He Yuelian, Leuk San’s paper man, and Tong Qian.

“That’s…” Leuk San’s paper man also noticed the Captain’s presence.

“Yang Jian seems very wary of that person, no, that ghost.”

He Yuelian said, “That ghost probably has issues, very possibly the Source Ghost of the Ghost Ship. Only then would he choose to strike regardless of anything.”

“If that’s true, then it’s a good thing. As long as that thing is resolved, the Ghost Ship incident will be completely calmed, then there will be no worry about this ship transporting ghosts over and over.” Tong Qian said.

“It’s not that simple.” Leuk San’s paper man looked grave.

It’s known that the Ghost Ship can control a whole ship of ghosts; if that person is indeed the Source Ghost, the terror level would be absurdly high, definitely not so easily manageable.

Soon.

Leuk San’s paper man’s guess was confirmed.

Yang Jian’s wish, and the thrown spear, ought to easily pin any nearby ghost. However, when the red spear flew through the air, rapidly approaching that Captain, a strange scene unfolded.

That Captain merely slowly raised his hand, and like catching a fly, simply grabbed the incoming red spear.

The spear halted mid-air, no longer advancing even a fraction. Meanwhile, the Captain seemed unaffected, still standing motionless on the water as before.

It should be noted, Yang Jian’s red spear was imbued with a Loss of Balance Fatal Curse.

This meant the Captain-like ghost abruptly withstood both the Wishing Ghost and the Fatal Curse supernatural assaults.

“What a joke.” Yang Jian’s pupils narrowed abruptly; this scene somewhat exceeded his understanding.

Perhaps terrifying ghosts existed in the supernatural circle, but one that lightly warded off his attacks—he hadn’t encountered many. After all, Yang Jian was no longer the newcomer back then.

That Captain-like ghost holding the red spear remained motionless, just moved his stiff, dull gaze slightly and then looked towards Yang Jian’s side.

It targeted Yang Jian.

Then it slowly lowered its arm, but the cold, stiff hand still tightly grasped the red spear.

Heavy footsteps began to move.

It walked on Ghost Lake waters, step by step towards Yang Jian.

Danger!

The Ghost Master’s instincts alerted Yang Jian; a terrifying danger was approaching.
