Chapter 57: Spirit Tablet and Coffin

After a confrontation with the Ghostly Servant, the confidence these Ghost Tamers had in their hearts has been completely eroded.

At this moment, they finally understood why Jiang Shangbai had emphasized from the start that their goal was merely to seize the Ghost Coffin.

Moreover, after the Ghostly Servant arrived, their goal shifted to escaping.

Fortunately, the Ghost Domain of the Ghostly Servant cannot cut off communication with Headquarters, allowing them, when facing the Ghostly Servant, to still receive support from Headquarters' intelligence brain group and get some advice.

"According to the latest intel obtained from Yang Jian, the Ghostly Servant's Suppression Quantity is currently zero, which is why it immediately chooses to Restart when you approach."

Through the Walkie-Talkie came Wang Xiaoming's calm voice.

"That means, in front of the Ghostly Servant, you are not in a solitary state."

Hearing that, everyone was startled.

It seems they still misunderstand: facing the current Ghostly Servant, they only need to stand still there? Continuously attacking the Ghostly Servant is merely wasting their own Ghost Power.

"Next, try separating this Ghost Coffin from you, see if the Ghost will return to the Ghost Coffin; if it does, this Supernatural Incident might be resolved in the simplest way."

Wang Xiaoming spoke again.

Feng Quan's voice sounded from the other end of the Walkie-Talkie: "Just like back at Huang Gang Cun?"

"Exactly."

Wang Xiaoming said: "Yang Jian caused some aspects of this Ghost to change; it developed a false perception and may want to return to the Ghost Coffin to be reborn."

"If you stay away from the Ghost Coffin so it won't Restart when approaching you, perhaps you can make this Ghost return to the Ghost Domain."

"The only problem now is that the coffin lid of the Ghost Coffin is damaged; we cannot determine whether the Ghostly Servant returning to the coffin will repair the Ghost Coffin, nor whether the Ghost Coffin can still seal the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain."

"No, if the Ghostly Servant returns to the Ghost Domain, we can seal it with gold, and then even if it wants to leave the Ghost Coffin it will have no chance," someone exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing that, everyone began to clear a Road, preparing to let the Ghostly Servant depart.

In the darkness a clear Footsteps sounded, stiff and heavy, as if a dead person were walking in the night, the steps continually drawing nearer to the Ghost Coffin.

"Boom!"

A muffled crash came from nearby, as if something were ramming the Ghost Coffin.

"Did that thing get inside?"

Jiang Shangbai widened his eyes; the darkness prevented him from seeing whether the Ghostly Servant had entered the Ghost Coffin.

Fortunately, the darkness quickly began to dissipate, and the Ghostly Servant seemed truly resolved.

Although the coffin lid remained damaged, the Fierce Ghost's return to the coffin did not cause the Ghost Coffin to mutate; the damaged part was repaired.

Yet the Ghost Coffin took on a perfect shape, except that where the coffin lid should be was no longer a wooden board but a dense blackness.

This darkness, like a black stone, formed the shape of a coffin lid, covering the previously open coffin.

As the coffin was covered, the Ghostly Servant's Ghost Domain was completely withdrawn.

Wang Shuang opened the video and filmed the state of the Ghost Coffin for Wang Xiaoming to see.

Wang Xiaoming asked, "Let's see if the Ghost Coffin's coffin lid can be penetrated."

Wang Shuang, hearing this, took a bullet from her pistol and fired it into the Ghost Coffin; the darkness that resembled a coffin lid did not stop the bullet, indicating the Ghost Coffin is merely a Spirit Phenomenon, not a real coffin lid.

Wang Xiaoming watched this scene and fell into contemplation.

He has studied the Ghost Coffin deeply, but due to certain concerns he dared not explore freely. Yet this Supernatural Incident suddenly made many previously incomprehensible things clear to him.

"A part of the revival is outside, the unrecovered part remained as the Ghost Coffin, so the ghost's Wei Jing represents the coffin lid."

Wang Xiaoming's gaze grew increasingly solemn: "Letting the Fierce Ghost return to the coffin is not a restriction but an indulgence; given some time, the Ghost Coffin will completely vanish and become a whole Ghost."

Realizing this, he suddenly said to Jiang Shangbai and the others, "Quickly imprison the Ghost Coffin at the fastest speed; we must not let any further mutation occur."

But before he could finish, a mutation suddenly erupted.

Jiang Shangbai's complexion suddenly changed, his stare fixed rigidly ahead.

Because after the Ghostly Servant returned to the coffin, two figures appeared in his Gaze.

"Red and White Double Evil! Again?"

Jiang Shangbai's face looked very grim; the appearance of the Red and White Double Evil at the moment the Ghost Coffin just returned to the coffin inevitably conjured bad omens.

"No way?" someone nearby felt a shiver in their heart.

Having experienced the Ghostly Servant's continual Restarts just now, he now understands how terrifying a Restart truly is as a Spirit Phenomenon.

It cannot be imprisoned, cannot be suppressed; as soon as it is suppressed, the Fierce Ghost can instantly choose to Restart, essentially possessing infinite fault tolerance.

"No! That's wrong, look, the Red and White Double Evil are advancing very quickly."

Wang Xiaoming noticed the change in the Red and White Double Evil; previously their movement speed was not much different from a normal person.

Now, after only a few steps, the Red and White Double Evil reached the side of the Ghost Coffin.

"It's those embroidered shoes; I recall Headquarters has a Ghost Tamer codenamed Embroidered Shoes."

Zhong Shan said gravely: "Those embroidered shoes are the Puzzle of that bride, and seem to possess the ability to move quickly."

Hearing this, everyone's complexion changed.

Previously the Red and White Double Evil were already hard to deal with; now, equipped with the embroidered shoes for rapid movement, aren't they courting death? Fortunately, the Red and White Double Evil's target does not seem to be them.

The Red and White Double Evil reached the side of the Ghost Coffin, and the White Evil did not stop advancing but stepped directly onto the coffin lid of the Ghost Coffin.

However, they had just tested that the lid was merely a Spirit Phenomenon, not something that truly existed.

While they were confused, fearing their actions might cause a mutation and thus dared not act on their own, the Red Evil also moved.

The Red Evil's ghostly bride, carrying a Spirit Tablet, walked to the side of the Ghost Coffin and handed the Spirit Tablet to the White Evil.

As the White Evil received the Spirit Tablet and placed it onto the coffin lid of the Ghost Coffin,

They then saw the blackened lid of the Ghost Coffin gradually disintegrating, the dense darkness spreading again over the surroundings, as if to reenact the previous scene.

Step back.

Without waiting for anyone to remind them, they all began to set aside their tasks and quickly distance themselves from the Ghost Coffin.

However, it was already too late; after only a few steps, their legs twisted uncontrollably backward, accompanied by two crisp bone‑breaking sounds.

The two Ghost Tamers' legs had already been broken, and they fell to their knees on the ground, their faces bearing sad expressions, numbly kneeling toward the Ghost Coffin.

The strangest part is that the Ghosts inside these two Ghost Tamers did not help them evade this bizarre attack, leaving them with no room for resistance, just like ordinary people.

The others, upon seeing this scene, instantly narrowed their eyes.
