"Ah!"
The heart-wrenching cry of agony echoed from a room on the second floor of the Ghost Post Office.
Li Yang collapsed on the ground, struggling as a malicious ghost invaded his body, attempting to break free and kill him. This sensation was unbearable for the living, as it was a tornt both physically and ntally.
It was visibly apparent as Li Yang's chest bulged outwards, distinctly outlining a human face, while traces of limb movents could also be seen.
The ghost's Terror Level had exceeded the manageable threshold, forcibly controlling it would just lead to its revival.
At the mont, fresh blood was oozing from Li Yang's mouth, nose, and ears; everything inside his body felt like it was being ground to shreds. In agony, he cried out, "No, I can't do it, I can't suppress this ghost, it's like I'm missing a dium..."
Yang Xiaohua, standing by, covered her mouth in shock at this scene.
Although she didn't know what was happening, she could see what thod Yang Jian had used to send the ghost into this person's body, trying to control it.
Now, the control had failed.
The ghost was killing him and attempting to escape from his body.
"Lacking a dium? A door perhaps?"
Yang Jian's eyes flickered with a red light as he strode over and firmly pinned down the writhing Li Yang to the ground.
"Co over, help hold him down."
He commanded in almost an ordering tone.
Yang Xiaohua hesitated for a mont.
"If he dies, there will be two ghosts on the second floor, and you all will die," Yang Jian added.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaohua clenched her teeth and ran over, then pressed down on Li Yang.
But the next mont, she jumped in fright.
From Li Yang's body, she saw a terrifying humanoid silhouette writhing.
A malicious ghost?
Yang Xiaohua's heart trembled, yet she didn't choose to retreat.
In such a situation, she knew retreating would an certain death.
With one hand, Yang Jian pressed down on Li Yang's chest, his cold, dark Ghost Hand forcefully suppressing the struggling ghost, although it still struggled, it was less ferocious now, barely maintaining Li Yang's body from being torn apart.
With his other hand, he lifted up Li Yang's shirt, exposing his chest.
The skin, cold and bruised, resembled that of a dead person.
"The dium is a door; your body has no door, therefore I will draw one on you," Yang Jian said as a rusty iron nail appeared in his hand.
It was a Coffin Nail.
Picked from Fushou Garden in Dahai City, he had kept it on himself at all tis to prevent unexpected occurrences.
He did not plan to use the Coffin Nail to nail the ghost, but rather as a surgical knife, piercing directly under Li Yang's skin, then crudely slicing open a ferocious, bloody gash.
Using Li Yang's chest as a canvas.
Holding the Coffin Nail, Yang Jian ripped the skin, dyed it red, and drew the appearance of a large door on it.
Though rudintary.
But it had all the typical features of a door.
He even drew the door handle.
The body as the dium, to confine the malicious ghost.
This was what Yang Jian intended for Li Yang to do.
But would this actually work?
Using a drawn door to trigger the murderous rules of the Door-blocking Ghost seed a bit ludicrous, even laughable.
But reality was absurdly so.
The rule of the Door-blocking Ghost was triggered.
The drawn door could also act as a dium.
The next mont.
The struggling ghost inside Li Yang began to quickly calm down, like ripples on water gradually fading, no longer able to attempt to tear his body and break free.
The Door-blocking Ghost had confined the ghost within his body.
A balance was quickly being ford between the ghosts.
Li Yang's cries of agony stopped; his pain was alleviated, and his injuries stopped worsening.
"Did it, succeed?" As a witness to this event, Yang Xiaohua's eyes widened in shock, almost lost for words.
This Yang Jian had actually managed to confine a ghost within a living person's body and successfully controlled it.
Was this what confinent and control were supposed to be?
"How do you feel now?"
Yang Jian let go, his expression grave as he asked, still holding the Coffin Nail.
If sothing unexpected were to happen, he was ready to imdiately nail Li Yang.
Controlling two ghosts was not a guaranteed success, although he was the one wielding the knife, accidents could still happen.
"Good, it feels okay, the ghost inside my body seems to have cald down, everything is back to normal,"
Li Yang's face was covered in blood, he breathed heavily, but his tone was incredibly relaxed and comfortable.
"This ans your condition is good, a balance has been ford between the ghosts and they are not further eroding your body," Yang Jian slightly relaxed.
Li Yang struggled to sit up, feeling the pain of his torn skin, and gasped sharply: "It's so painful, I thought I was going to die, is this what it feels like when a malicious ghost revives? I really don't want to experience this ever again in my life, Captain, thank you so much, I definitely couldn't have done this alone,"
"Don't ntion it, I was just incidentally confining the ghosts here, killing two birds with one stone," Yang Jian said calmly.
But Li Yang was very aware that this level of control could only be assisted by soone of the Captain's caliber.
Forcing a ghost into a living person's body wasn't about cramming; otherwise, the person would simply burst. It involved the invasion from Ghost Domain, directly sending the ghost inside.
Then the ghost gradually infiltrates the body, preventing imdiate death.
However, it was unexpected that the ghost's erosion of the body was so rapid.
Although the Terror Level wasn't very high, it was certainly not low either.
"So, the ghost that attacked the second floor, did you take care of it?" Yang Xiaohua was still in disbelief, looking at Yang Jian with incredulity.
This madman actually dealt with a terrifying ghost within a minute or two.
You have to know that this ghost almost killed everyone on the second floor just now.
"I didn't resolve the ghost; I was helping him control it. Ghosts cannot be killed. Once the ghost inside Li Yang's body becos unbalanced again, the fierce ghost will tear apart his body and escape."
Yang Jian squinted and said: "But this is the thod ordinary people use to seize supernatural power, and it's also key in combating fierce ghosts."
"So you an, there was originally a ghost inside his body?" Yang Xiaohua was so frightened that she retreated several steps.
A ghost inside a living person's body?
Is this still a human?
Yang Jian glanced and said: "Becoming a Ghost Controller is very difficult, do you think everyone has the opportunity and potential to beco one? It's dangerous but also an opportunity."
"Rember this scene well, perhaps later on you will try everything to beco a Ghost Controller. After all, once you beco a ssenger, there's no turning back, you can only see it through, and in your current state, survival is impossible. Only by becoming a Ghost Controller and controlling a fierce ghost, do you have the capital to fight."
"Forget it, talking so much to you is pointless, you might die soon anyway."
Yang Jian spoke no further, he put away the Coffin Nail, and grabbed Li Yang: "Get Huang Ziya to treat the wounds on your body after we return. Now, follow outside."
"The supernatural event brought by the red letter has been handled by . According to the postal rules, we should move upstairs now."
"The third floor?"
Li Yang winced in pain: "I hope I can hold on."
"Don't worry, you won't die so quickly. Now, you are a person controlling two ghosts. If you combine it with that doorknob, maybe you could directly send the ghost into the Ghost Gate."
Yang Jian looked at the bloody door on Li Yang's body.
A door carved into his flesh and skin.
If it can be opened, the Ghost Door Blocker combined with the ghost from before can completely imprison the ghost, and send it off through that wooden doorknob.
"Can this be done?"
Li Yang was stunned, feeling bewildered.
Yang Jian said: "Why not? You should try if you get a chance."
Li Yang fell silent and began to contemplate.
He looked at the old wooden doorknob in his hand, wondering if the door drawn on his body could actually be opened.
"They ca out, they ca out, they are not dead, not dead yet." Cai Yu, hiding in the corner, said aloud sowhat anxiously.
Her tone revealed shock.
The remaining people saw it clearly, Yang Jian and Yang Xiaohua were caught by the ghost into the room, and then Li Yang also rushed in, followed by so horrible screams and a sudden bright eerie red light from inside the room.
They thought they were dead.
Unexpectedly, they walked out safely.
"Where's Yang Xiaohua? How is she? Is she dead?" Liu Mingxin, the second-floor ssenger, paced in the corridor, uncertain, wanting to ascertain soone's condition.
"I'm fine, nothing happened, the fierce ghost has been dealt with, you guys can also co down now, this floor won't be attacked again."
Yang Xiaohua ca out too; apart from her having fallen over when pushed by Yang Jian earlier, she didn't have a single injury.
Though it was a terrifying danger, it was just a close call.
"The fierce ghost was dealt with? Yang Xiaohua, what actually happened inside?" Liu Mingxin pressed.
Yang Xiaohua said: "I'm not really sure how to explain the specifics. If you want to know, ask Yang Jian. Maybe he can explain it to you. I can only tell you one thing, the terrifying ghost is now confined inside this person's body."
After finishing, she looked at Li Yang.
What?
Liu Mingxin was stunned and then looked at Li Yang, who was covered in blood, a bit terrified.
The ghost was confined inside his body?
Is this for real?
But if it's true, then why is this person still alive? How has he not been killed by the fierce ghost?
As an ordinary person who hasn't officially entered the supernatural circle, he didn't know about the existence of Ghost Controllers, let alone understand what those three words an, naturally he was full of confusion.
"It looks like only a few of you ssengers on this floor survived." Yang Jian scanned around.
Aside from him and Li Yang, only four others survived.
Wang Shan, Cai Yu, Liu Mingxin, Yang Xiaohua.
Among them, Wang Shan was the ground floor ssenger, the other three were the second floor's old ssengers.
As for the others, if they didn't die in the conflict with Yang Jian, then they died because of the fierce ghost.
"Wang Shan, you seem to be quite lucky, I hope you keep being so lucky."
Yang Jian's gaze lingered on him.
Wang Shan forced a smile, not knowing how to respond.
He was quite desperate now, as he already knew Yang Jian's intentions.
This person wants to ascend floors at the fastest speed; as for the others, it's best if they can keep up, if not, just like before, they die here.
However, at this mont.
In the middle of the corridor, a dark fog like a gloomy cloud slowly erged, as if it would cover the entire floor, but after churning vigorously for a mont, it quickly dispersed.
A wooden staircase appeared in the middle and extended over the hallway.
The wall also revealed an opening, connecting the corridor with this wooden staircase.
"The staircase has appeared; indeed, once the red letter is completed, everyone on each floor can directly move up a floor." Yang Jian's eyes flickered; he was not surprised, this was all part of his plan.
"The staircase to the third floor?"
The others felt a chill in their hearts, unsure whether to feel happy or afraid.
The most anxious was Wang Shan.
You must know he's a ground floor ssenger, this rapid ascent like forcing the growth of a seedling, without going through layer-by-layer selection, directly sending letter on the second floor… most likely... will lead to his death.
Wang Shan was on the verge of tears but he knew he had no choice.
"Let's go upstairs."
Yang Jian observed for a mont and seeing no issues, he imdiately moved on.
