After briefly repelling a wave of attacking Ghost Infants, everyone took the opportunity to rest quickly.
To say they repelled the Ghost Infants was actually just pushing most of them back.
The so-called rest was merely reducing the threat from facing two or three Ghost Infants simultaneously to just one.
Zhang Han’s mouth twitched, not from fear, but from the torment and pain inflicted by the ghost behind him.
Si Ye leaned against the wall; in this brief respite, he had used three more Cards.
However, after using the Cards a few times.
The Cards he currently possessed included two 'Kill', one 'Dodge', and one 'Invincible'.
Two offensive abilities and two defensive abilities—this was a good outcome for Si Ye.
"We have no chance to turn the tide; we can only wait for death. Dachang City is finished."
Zhao Kaiming looked at everyone coldly, as if these dangers were beneath his notice.
"Once we die, no one can stop these things, and they will run rampant throughout this city."
"What are you trying to say by talking so much?" Zhang Han looked at him.
Zhao Kaiming sneered slightly: "I have a way for you to survive. Although it's extremely dangerous, it's much better than waiting to die. I wonder if you're willing to cooperate with me."
Zhang Han froze for a moment.
Si Ye also frowned and looked at Zhao Kaiming. Was Zhao Kaiming plotting some new trick?
In this situation, he claimed there was a way to survive?
Although Si Ye knew the current situation posed no threat to him, he couldn't figure out why Zhao Kaiming would want to save Zhang Han.
"What is your method? Tell me, and I'll consider it." Zhang Han said.
"My method is—wait, someone is coming." Before Zhao Kaiming could finish, he suddenly saw a sinister candlelight flickering outside the restroom door.
That was the light of a Ghost Candle.
"Yang Jian? This kid isn't dead yet? He actually dared to come and provide support." He immediately frowned.
"What use is it for you to come now? Most people are already dead, and the remaining ones are useless. This operation has failed," Zhao Kaiming sneered.
Yang Jian replied, "If I hadn't split up, we wouldn't have had any chance of winning at all. Now, at least we have the capital to fight back."
"Are you referring to that crucial item Professor Wang mentioned?" Si Ye looked at Yang Jian and naturally moved closer to him.
Under the protection of the Ghost Candle, they could finally catch their breath.
Dealing with these Ghost Infants individually wasn't a big threat, but coordinating against them collectively was troublesome.
Especially since Si Ye still needed to watch out for that Fourth Stage Ghost Infant hidden in the shadows, which could appear at any moment.
Wang Xiaoming, however, said: "There is always a way. You were right just now; we now have the capital to fight back. We just need a little opportunity and luck now."
"Yang Jian obtained that thing. Now we have the qualification to confront that Source Ghost."
Si Ye looked at Wang Xiaoming without speaking.
The ghost that made everyone feel immensely threatened was actually just a Fourth Stage Ghost Infant.
While everyone was talking, Sun Yi died.
"Another one dead, and one just went missing. There are only four Ghost Controllers left alive now," Zhang Han noted.
Everyone knew what 'missing' implied. The Ghost Controller who had covered the rear with Zhao Kaiming had disappeared from the group at some point.
Zhang Han said, "Are we next? We might not be as lucky this time."
"We don't need luck, only strength. How much longer can you hold on?" Yang Jian asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe I'll be the one who dies in the next attack," Zhang Han admitted.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian looked at Si Ye, surprise in his eyes: "How is your situation now?"
"This is the world of Ghost Controllers: dangerous, terrifying, and unknown. You need to adapt quickly, although this time might be a bit too difficult for you as a Newcomer."
"I can continue, but my attacks might not be very effective against that Source Ghost; I can only provide support," Si Ye said grimly.
Yang Jian glanced at Si Ye with surprise, seemingly not expecting him to still dare to use Supernatural abilities at this point.
"Don't underestimate him. Although he's a Newcomer, I have to admit, his Potential is very high," Zhang Han said with a bitter smile, a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
For a Ghost Controller, no one likes to think others are stronger than themselves. For Zhang Han to say this was enough to show his affirmation of Si Ye.
Yang Jian stated, "Is that so? In that case, I will have to proactively initiate Ghost Revival and take the main offensive role."
"Fully unleash the supernatural ability of one ghost within my body, try to hold off these Ghost Infants, stab this finger into the Source Ghost's body, pin it down, and then imprison it."
"How confident are you?" Zhao Kaiming's expression flickered uncertainly.
"That depends on whether this ghost gives me the opportunity. If it doesn't show itself and only intends to wear us down with these Ghost Infants, we will have no chance at all," Yang Jian stared hard at him.
"Zhao Kaiming, I know your ghost is special, but right now, I hope you don't cause trouble. Otherwise, before I die from Ghost Revival, I will definitely take care of you."
Zhao Kaiming replied, "You misunderstand me. I haven't done anything. It's already a struggle for me to be alive this long."
"My ghost is special, but it's mostly for self-preservation. I won't be able to help you much when the time comes."
"I don't need you to help me with anything," Yang Jian said.
"That's good then," Zhao Kaiming replied.
Wang Xiaoming urged, "There aren't many Ghost Candles left. Let's start quickly, otherwise, once the Ghost Candles extinguish, those Ghost Infants will start attacking you, making your success even more impossible."
"The final battle, perhaps? That's one way to put it, isn't it?"
Si Ye chuckled lightly, taking out a Card in his hand. His tone was somewhat out of sync with the atmosphere of the scene.
However, no one paid attention to his words at this moment.
"Yang Jian, I'll help you." Zhang Han rushed over, helping Yang Jian restrain the Headless Ghost Shadow inside his body.
"I will help you clear the Fierce Ghosts around you. I can provide you with one chance to interrupt a Fierce Ghost's attack. The rest is up to you."
Si Ye took out Invincible, a flash of excitement crossing his eyes.
Yang Jian glanced at Si Ye, but by then, he had already begun to unleash the Fierce Ghost within his body and couldn't spare any attention.
Several Ghost Eyes suddenly appeared on Yang Jian's body. The appearance of these eyes caused a Red Light to surge out of Yang Jian's entire body.
The Red Light flowed out of his body, spreading along the ground like scarlet blood, gradually dyeing the surroundings red.
"Ghost Domain!" Si Ye looked at the Red Light emanating from Yang Jian, feeling a bit envious; he didn't have a Ghost Domain yet.
At this moment, Zhang Han hurriedly slammed his back against the Headless Ghost Shadow, forcing the Fierce Ghost inside his body, which was about to crawl out, to pin the Headless Ghost Shadow firmly to the ground.
