Despite the risk of ghosts’ eyes possibly reviving, Yang Jian explored the depths of the fourth layer of Ghost Domain and reached the end of this darkness.
The range covered by the darkness wasn’t extensive, limited only to the training base and its imdiate surroundings. However, from his exploration just now, it gave Yang Jian a bone-chilling sensation.
At the end of the darkness lay old wooden planks.
He wouldn’t mistake their appearance—they were a Ghost Coffin.
Having personally sent the Ghost Coffin out of Huanggang Village, Yang Jian had a very vivid mory of it.
"I’m inside this Ghost Coffin now? How is that possible."
Behind the horror and unease was a bewildering sense of astonishnt.
Wasn’t the Ghost Coffin supposed to be in Wang Xiaoming’s laboratory at this ti? And the ghost inside the coffin had been successfully turned into a Coffin Nail by Wang Xiaoming, a thing that could suppress three ghosts. So, what was this ghost?
The sa ability?
"No, that’s not it," Yang Jian’s expression grew increasingly solemn.
"This isn’t the ghost from Huanggang Village. The ghost from Huanggang Village only ran out from the Ghost Coffin and then returned to it. I’ve always thought that the ghost in the coffin and the Ghost Coffin were two separate things, but from the information I have now, it’s very possible that the Ghost Coffin and its ghost are one entity."
The real ghost might actually be the Ghost Coffin itself.
This could also explain why the exorcists wouldn’t worry about the ferocious ghost reviving after lying in the Ghost Coffin.
If the coffin is a ghost, lying in it would an entering the body of a ghost, and with the Terror Level of the Ghost Coffin, it could naturally suppress the ghost in your body perfectly, and might even produce so unexpected effects.
So, this might just be the real truth.
Yang Jian’s gaze flickered as various speculations surged in his mind. He tried to piece together the whole process, looking for clues that might help him escape the training base.
"We need to confirm this imdiately."
Without delay, he contacted Liu Xiaoyu using his satellite positioning phone.
"The situation at the training base is worse than we imagined. This incident is intricately connected to the original Ghost Coffin incident. Help verify whether the Ghost Coffin is still in the lab."
"Okay, I’ll inquire about it right away," Liu Xiaoyu replied imdiately.
Yang Jian then quickly picked up another phone to make a second call, this ti to Li Yao.
"Hello, Li Yao, it’s , Yang Jian."
A sexy woman’s voice ca from the other end of the line: "Hehe, Yang Jian? What’s up? You’ve only been at the training base for a few days, and you’re already eager to call ? Do you miss ? Guess what I’m doing right now?"
"I’m taking a bath; want to send you so selfies?"
Yang Jian imdiately cut her off: "There’s a problem with Wang Xiaoming’s laboratory. Ghosts have invaded the training base. It happened very suddenly, and you might not have received any news about it yet, but you will soon. Right now, I need you to send my mom back to Dachang City as quickly as possible. Soone nad Jiang Yan will take charge once she gets there. After I hang up the phone, I’ll send you the number."
"What?"
At this news, Li Yao’s voice suddenly rose a few pitches, filled with a hint of shock.
A supernatural event in J city?
This was a very bad sign, and Li Yao clearly understood what the ergence of such an event really ant.
But there was no ti for her to ask more. She responded imdiately: "Okay, don’t worry; I’ll definitely arrange for your mother to get back to Dachang City, and ensure that nothing goes wrong. How about you? Are you in any danger over there?" ʀ𝙖ŊỗBЕs
"Nothing for now, but I can’t guarantee it going forward. You can pay attention to the situation here from the headquarters. I can’t say more because I’ll be taking other actions after this call. I won’t call you again after this, and you shouldn’t contact unless this is over," Yang Jian said.
He had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
If the severity of this incident exceeded expectations, he might very well die here, but at the very least, he must ensure that his mother could leave safely. With Jiang Yan taking care of her, he was sowhat relieved.
So this was like making arrangents for the aftermath in advance.
After ending the call, Yang Jian’s face had a slightly grim expression. He didn’t continue towards the outside of the training base but instead quickly headed back inside.

If he couldn’t leave this damned place, then the next consideration should be survival.
To survive, he needed to ensure he wouldn’t end up alone.
And he also had to ensure that the other exorcists weren’t killed.
Because every death would allow that ghost to grow stronger.
Even if Yang Jian didn’t want to save them, he still had to take the risk and figure out a way to gather them together for a group survival strategy.
Soon.
Yang Jian’s figure disappeared into the darkness; he was heading in the direction of the dormitory building. It was very likely already invaded by ghosts, but at the sa ti, the other exorcists were also nearby.
But if those people together did not understand the pattern, they would all be killed by the ghost, one by one.
Perhaps the headquarters had already inford them of the pattern, but by this ti, it was already late; maybe the situation wouldn’t allow them to gather together as they wished.
Under the shadow of fear, many foolish things can be done.
It was during Yang Jian’s operation.
At the headquarters, in a large conference room.
Wang Xiaoming, Li Jun, Vice Minister Cao Yanhua, Chen Yi who was responsible for overseeing J city’s ghost tars, as well as Guo Fan, Zong Shan, Feng Quan, and others had all arrived. Moreover, as the incident unfolded, an increasing number of ghost tars were hurrying to the headquarters overnight to attend the ergency eting.
But Wang Xiaoming couldn’t wait for everyone to be present; he slowly stood up and began to recount the key points of this paranormal incident.
"This paranormal incident is the result of my experint’s failure. Speaking of responsibility and consequences at this ti is pointless; I’ll provide an explanation later, so please let finish first. Those not present can join via a phone conference through satellite positioning on their mobile phones."
"Is it that urgent?" Chen Yi asked, his expression slightly warm with anger. "Professor Wang, it seems this incident is no small matter."
"Don’t rush to speak; let Professor Wang continue," said the Vice Minister, Cao Yanhua, gesturing for others to be quiet with a wave of his hand.
Wang Xiaoming said, "This matter started with the Ghost Coffin incident. You can look up the details of the Ghost Coffin incident in the archives later; the headquarters is preparing them. What I need to discuss is what happened afterward. The existence of the Ghost Coffin made see the viability of a person turning into a ghost while retaining their sanity."
"Had the experint succeeded, it would have had an unprecedented impact, but, unfortunately, I failed."
"The first ghost bred by the Ghost Coffin was successfully dealt with by . I thought this would increase the experint’s chance of success. Therefore, after making so preparations, I conducted a bold attempt to turn ghost tars into real ghosts while still maintaining their consciousness."
"The subject of the experint was Wei Jing."
Wang Xiaoming launched the slideshow, and an image of a personal file appeared before everyone.
Many people’s faces tightened slightly at the sight of this person nad Wei Jing.
"Him?"
Wei Jing, one of the earliest ghost tars, had resolved nurous paranormal events and had made considerable accomplishnts during the initial outbreak of paranormal activities; he was a veteran international ghost tar.
But unfortunately,
The earliest batch of tars was also the first to face the problem of ghost resurgence.
At that ti, the strategy to control two ghosts was not mature, and the success rate was quite low.
Thus, Wei Jing failed to control a second ghost.
But due to certain special ergency asures, Wei Jing didn’t die from the ghost’s resurgence and was instead suppressed, barely surviving in a half-dead state.
"So you’re saying Wei Jing has now fully resurged as a ghost and invaded the training base?" Zong Shan asked.
Wang Xiaoming nodded, "If nothing else, that should be the case. What I’m worried about is not that, but the special nature of the Ghost Coffin. If Wei Jing, having failed to turn into a ghost, has inherited the abilities of the Ghost Coffin, no, or rather he has beco a part of the Ghost Coffin, then the consequences could be quite dreadful."
The person experinted upon is not important.
What mattered was the ghost bred by the Ghost Coffin, which was a cause for Wang Xiaoming’s concern.
"Talk about Wei Jing’s, no, that ghost’s abilities now," soone asked.
Others also looked towards Wang Xiaoming.
The Ghost Coffin incident’s archives had been sealed, and they had no privilege to access them, so they were unaware of the true story behind the incident; but now, this secret file would be revealed, and there would be no more secrets.
"The ghost from the Ghost Coffin can suppress the abilities of three ghosts within a ghost tar’s body, which ans, anyone controlling fewer than three ghosts would simply be a regular person in front of that ghost," said Wang Xiaoming.
"What?"
"Damn, you’re joking, right?"
"Can’t be."
For a mont, a series of shocked exclamations filled the conference room.
However, Wang Xiaoming hadn’t finished speaking. He continued slowly, "This ability to suppress other ghosts can grow. If this ghost kills a ghost tar and takes the ghosts from their body, then the number of ghosts it can suppress would grow from three to four... What the limit is, I’m not sure."
As he spoke, many eyes widened, their expressions filling with dread.
The whole conference room fell silent.
If this was already making them feel hopeless, Wang Xiaoming’s third statent plunged them into the abyss, "Currently, the training base has been attacked, and it’s highly likely that there have been casualties already. So, this ghost has already begun growing, and after the paranormal event at the training base is over, the ghost’s abilities will..."
"Stop talking," soone who couldn’t bear this terrifying and desperate reality hastily stood up, his teeth clenched in anger.
If he continued, believe it or not, so would cry right in front of you.
Who could stand such news?
Wang Xiaoming chose to be silent, and he slowly sat down.
Because he had already shared the necessary information, and there wasn’t much else to say.
