Unlucky, really unlucky.

If Yang Jian could curse, he would definitely curse now.

He didn’t do anything wrong, but why did so many people in the village come to him instead of looking for others? And they had to come at the most awkward moment.

Since obtaining the Ghost Eye, he had been paralyzed for one or two hours almost every night, and as the number of times he used the Ghost Eye increased, the duration of paralysis also increased.

However, he could accept this side effect, as an ordinary person needed to sleep for eight hours every day.

What Yang Jian couldn’t accept was being found by a ghost during the time when he couldn’t control his body.

In the darkness, although he couldn’t see clearly, the sound of the door creaking open was particularly clear.

He could imagine a tall figure standing at his door, motionless.

From the blurry outline, he could tell that this was definitely not the old man Liu Genrong during the day… but a very, very unfamiliar person.

It didn’t seem like someone from the village.

It was like… someone who suddenly appeared.

After the door opened, the tall and blurry figure standing at the door didn’t continue to linger outside, but took heavy steps and walked in.

The heavy footsteps didn’t sound like they were made by a living person, but like a stiff, cold corpse.

Yang Jian stared at the direction where the footsteps came from, his face covered in cold sweat.

He wanted to get up, but the Ghost Eye was still taking over his body.

“Calm down… even if it is a real ghost, it may not necessarily attack me. If I haven’t met the killing conditions of this ghost, then this ghost is at most just passing by.”

Since he couldn’t move, he forced himself to stay calm.

He had encountered ghosts with high levels of horror before, and if he was lucky, he wouldn’t die.

“It stopped.”

Suddenly, Yang Jian heard the footsteps stop.

Right beside his bed.

Less than two meters away.

He could even feel a cold breath gradually enveloping him, and a damp and rotten smell spreading through his nose.

This breath and smell.

Without a doubt… belonged to a ghost.

“Why did it stop? Is it waiting for time, or have I not met its killing conditions…” Yang Jian felt his whole body trembling. If he hadn’t had a few experiences with fierce ghosts before, he might have fainted from fear.

Being so close to an unknown level of horror ghost in such a close distance of less than two meters.

What’s more deadly was that he couldn’t move now.Even the lowest level ghost can easily kill him.

In the dark room, an unknown ghost and Yang Jian, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be in a stalemate.

The silence around them was somewhat frightening.

The only sound was Yang Jian’s slightly heavy breathing, and other than that, there was no sound at all.

But no movement didn’t mean no danger.

As long as the ghost was still in the room and hadn’t left, Yang Jian’s life was hanging in the balance.

Even becoming a ghost tamer was not a guarantee.

“What is its purpose for coming here? To kill me? No, if this ghost wanted to kill me, I would have died long ago. I’m definitely not its first choice. So is it here to monitor me?”

Yang Jian blinked, and cold sweat dripped into the corners of his eyes. “That’s very likely, but a real ghost wouldn’t be so bored as to monitor someone.”

“Unless it’s a ghost slave.”

“A ghost that possibly has a ghost slave must have a ghost domain, usually classified as level A, the same level as the knocking ghost.”

“If it’s a ghost of this level, then the Huanggang Village incident must be abandoned. It’s not something I can deal with.”

Just when Yang Jian was lost in thought.

The footsteps in the room moved again.

“Step, step~!”

It didn’t go towards the head of Yang Jian’s bed, but circled around the foot of the bed and opened a closet.

“That is…” Yang Jian’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

There was nothing in the closet, only the things he had prepared for this trip to Huanggang Village.

Although they were all expensive, they were useless to ghosts.

“Could it be that some ghost tamer from the Little Insect Club came to steal my things?” This idea popped into Yang Jian’s mind.

If that was the case, it wouldn’t be the worst result.

At least he would be facing a ghost tamer, not a real ghost.

“Clang~!”

The sound of metal hitting stone echoed crisply in the room.

“Clang~! Clang~!”

One after another, heavy and forceful, hitting in a fixed way.

This sound was…

Yang Jian thought for a moment, and the only thing in his backpack that could make this sound was the golden box that imprisoned the headless ghost.

“Damn it, this ghost is smashing the golden box that imprisons the headless ghost.” His heart was filled with horror, and a wave of fear rushed over him, making him feel cold all over.

Did this ghost want to release the headless ghost?

“No, I absolutely can’t let it release the headless ghost. It will be all over once the headless ghost is released.” Yang Jian began to struggle desperately, trying to regain consciousness.

He had personally imprisoned the headless ghost.

He was well aware of this ghost’s abilities. Once it was released, it would definitely take over his body as soon as possible.If the headless ghost got his Ghost Eye, it would mean that it had unlimited Ghost Realm, and its horror level would skyrocket, rivaling that of the door-knocking ghost.

Not a single person in Huanggang Village would survive, and all the members of the Xiaoqiang Club would become prey for the headless ghost.

If the headless ghost eventually formed a body made up of fierce ghosts, Yang Jian didn’t know how the world would face this ghost.

“I must find a way to stop it, I must.”

He clenched his teeth and tried to struggle against the Ghost Eye inside his body, trying to get his body moving.

As long as he could move, he could immediately snatch the golden box and use the Ghost Realm to leave this place, far away from this ghost.

No matter what, as long as the headless ghost was not released, there would still be room for a turnaround.

“Clang! Clang!”

However, the knocking sounds continued to ring one after another.

Yang Jian felt that this sound was even more terrifying than the ghost knocking on the door, and he didn’t know how many knocks the box could withstand.

It might take dozens of knocks to completely open the golden box.

Or maybe just one.

As long as there was a small crack in the box, the headless ghost would break free, and then the thing Yang Jian feared the most would happen.

He was still struggling on the bed, trying to get up.

But reality didn’t give him that chance.

No matter how much Yang Jian struggled, there was no way for his body to regain movement.

The human will and spirit seemed extremely fragile in front of ghosts.

It wasn’t time yet, and the Ghost Eye wouldn’t return control of the body to Yang Jian.

However.

There were not only three ghosts in this room.

There was one more…

From inside the opened wardrobe.

A piece of human skin paper floated down slowly, as if by coincidence or on purpose.

In the darkness, the human skin paper accurately covered the deformed golden box that had been smashed.

The knocking sound suddenly stopped.

Everything around fell back into oppressive silence.

“Stop, why did it stop?”

Yang Jian didn’t know the real situation; he only knew that the knocking sound had not continued.

Could it be that the box had already been opened?

The cessation of this sound did not bring him any joy, but instead made him even more frightened.

If the box was really opened, it meant that a headless ghost was standing right beside his bed.
