Shen Lin was invaded by a ghost. In order to escape its influence, he infiltrated another place through memory, entering the most familiar Daxia City. He looked around nervously, hoping everything would go smoothly.

However, the outcome was somewhat despairing.

Water kept seeping from his feet, and the surroundings were still so cold and damp.

The ghost was still on him.

Moreover, the invasion speed hadn’t slowed down, because half of Shen Lin’s face was already deathly pale, and his facial appearance was very strange—it had turned into a woman’s face, and his short hair had somehow been replaced by wet, long hair.

“Once more, this time restart and get rid of it.”

Shen Lin sensed deep trouble. If he continued like this, he would die, and it would be a complete death.

Because the ghost was driving him, once successful, the ghost would kill him a second, third time, and all memories related to him would end in death.

The Shen Lin in Daxia City committed suicide directly.

That memory vanished from his mind,

But Shen Lin awoke once again, now appearing in Zhongzhou City. This restart was better; he returned to this morning.

In the memory, Shen Lin was on a deserted square.

Nevertheless, Shen Lin was still soaking wet, and half of his body did not belong to him; it was deathly pale and cold.

“Even after restarting once, I couldn’t get rid of the dread ghost? This won’t do. I can’t die again. Dying like this no longer works. Someone must kill this ghost within the memory so I can break free from its control.”

Shen Lin became uneasy and looked up at the square.

There were a few blurred figures on the square.

He knew these people were Li Jun, Yang Jian, Leuk San, Ah Hong, and Feng Quan…

“Who has the ability to kill a ghost within memory?” Shen Lin stared at these figures.

He needed to select someone’s memory to invade.

This way, the Shen Lin in the memory would be the dread ghost, and the other person would be the ghost handler fighting the ghost.

But the premise is, they must win.

If they lose.

He would die, and so would they.

Because the ghost has harnessed his supernatural power, it can kill the other person within the memory, thus affecting the person in reality.

This is a completely unreasonable supernatural power.

Even Shen Lin found it unbelievable.

“Should I drag a captain down, or should I think of another way?” Shen Lin hesitated again.

But this hesitation didn’t last long.

Soon, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

“Choose the most reliable captain to end all this.” Shen Lin’s gaze swept across, focusing on one person.

Though this person was blurry, he held a cracked long spear, and a ghostly, scarlet eye glared from his forehead.

This was Ghost Eye Yang Jian,

“If it’s you, it will definitely succeed. Consider it as a favor I owe you.” Shen Lin chose Yang Jian.

In the next moment.

Yang Jian’s blurry figure gradually became clear.

At the same time,

Aboard the Ghost Lake boat, Yang Jian’s expression suddenly tightened. An eerie memory that did not belong to him popped into his mind. In that memory, he saw Shen Lin and also saw a ghost on Shen Lin’s body…

New memories continued to emerge.

On the square in Zhongzhou City,

Shen Lin said, “Yang Jian, I came to you out of necessity. I’ve been invaded by a ghost. I can only invade your memory to seek help. You must take action and eliminate me. Once successful, everything will end…”

He was speaking to the Yang Jian in his memory.

And the Yang Jian in his memory was identical to the Yang Jian at that time in reality.

“Help send you on your way? No problem.” The Yang Jian in the square acted.

In the next moment.

Shen Lin was thrown backward, pierced by a cracked long spear, firmly pinning him to the ground.

“Wow!” He felt his body being torn apart, vomiting blood profusely.

For the first time,

Shen Lin, as an anomaly, felt pain for the first time.

“Is this the coffin nail that seals the S-class Hungry Ghost? It can even erase supernatural elements in memory…this guy won too easily. Thankfully, this is just the memory’s coffin nail, not the real one.” He felt startled and frightened.

If he truly invaded Yang Jian’s memory, he wouldn’t be able to win against this guy in his memory.

However, soon.

Everything around began to collapse again.

Zhongzhou City was disappearing.

Shen Lin realized something and shouted, “Yang Jian, the ghost has harnessed part of my supernatural power, now it is invading the deeper parts of your memory, going to a time when you didn’t have the coffin nail. You need to eliminate it again, or you’ll die.”

“Invade memory, eliminate past me, thus killing present me.” Yang Jian’s expression on the square became grim.

“Shen Lin, you brought me a huge trouble right upon meeting.”

“I didn’t want to either. I was chased by the dread ghost from Ghost Lake until now, intending to use your hand to escape the ghost’s control. I didn’t expect the ghost to invade me so quickly.”

Shen Lin shouted, his expression pained.

His body vanished at times, then coalesced, seemingly being wiped out.

He couldn’t invade Yang Jian’s memory too deeply because he had a limit; he could only invade up to three years of someone’s memory.

For three years ago, Shen Lin was just an ordinary person, so he must take the moment of controlling the dread ghost as the boundary. Once he crosses this boundary, he cannot use supernatural power to invade reality and would become a lost ordinary person in memory.

But Shen Lin had a boundary, while the ghost that controlled him didn’t.

The Yang Jian on the square disappeared.

Shen Lin was coerced by the dread ghost and forced to go deeper into Yang Jian’s memory.

“Can’t let the ghost invade too deeply into the memory.” Shen Lin roared, struggling to interrupt it all.

If they went back half a year, Yang Jian could still win; if they went back a year, it would be risky; if they went back two years, Yang Jian would still be in high school, with nothing to kill a ghost with?

Even scarier, the ghost could attack the moment before Yang Jian became a ghost handler.

More terrifyingly, it could go back to Yang Jian’s childhood and take action.

During that time, Yang Jian was utterly powerless, and the ghost would surely win.

Shen Lin understood this well, so whether for himself, for Yang Jian, or to resolve this supernatural incident, he had to interfere with the ghost’s invasion.

But he was powerless.

It seemed that he had been harnessed by the ghost, unable to control supernatural power.

He could only watch as the ghost brazenly went to a certain period in Yang Jian’s life.

Soon.

The invasion ended.

This is Dachang City.

“It’s over, this is four years ago.”

Shen Lin quickly gathered the information, instantly filling him with despair.

The ghost had entered Yang Jian’s memory from four years ago.

This year, Yang Jian was still in school, a freshman in high school, and the ghost wanted to eliminate Yang Jian, who was in his first year.

Shen Lin stood on the school’s playground.

His head was full of long hair, his skin all over was deathly pale, soaked from head to toe, holding a red axe in his hand. Most of his face had become completely unfamiliar, transformed into a bizarre woman’s appearance.

On the playground, students were leaving school, people coming and going.

The ghost stood there holding the axe motionlessly, and the nearby passersby were all blurry, their looks and appearances indistinguishable.

Because Yang Jian was not familiar with these people in his memory, there was not much information about them.

“What to do? Once the ghost targets Yang Jian, he’s doomed.” Shen Lin was anxious.

Since becoming a ghost tamer, it was the first time he felt so anxious, so powerless.

“Moreover, in the memory, Yang Jian couldn’t escape no matter what. The ghost has already targeted him; this is the world of memories, not reality.”

Shen Lin was thinking, pondering on what to say when he saw Yang Jian to help him.

But after careful thought, he realized that nothing he said would be useful.

Because at this time, Yang Jian did not possess any supernatural power.

Unless, during this period, he met a ghost tamer, who could take action after receiving a reminder, just like what happened earlier in Zhongzhou City.

But this is a school.

Where could there be a ghost tamer here?

The ghost did not move.

Yet the number of students on the playground was dwindling; every student was a vague figure, clearly not the target. However, as these irrelevant people gradually left, Yang Jian would inevitably appear.

Because Yang Jian couldn’t escape from his memory.

“Hasn’t he appeared yet?” Shen Lin’s heart was beating wildly; he seemed to already see the tragic scene of Yang Jian being axed to death.

However, after the students on the playground gradually dispersed, Yang Jian had still not appeared.

At this moment, the ghost moved.

The ghost carried the axe, dripping wet as it walked forward, seemingly having found Yang Jian.

Not only the ghost, but Shen Lin also found Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was crouching under the shade of a tree with a few classmates, playing games on his phone.

The ghost’s approach went unnoticed by Yang Jian.

But Shen Lin could already hear their conversation.

“Yang Jian, please stop feeding. If only my feet were as nimble as my hands, I would dual queue with myself, bringing you up the ranks almost makes me cry.”

“Shut up, can’t carry you garbage, has nothing to do with me; if you’re good, why don’t you take on nine?”

“I’m sorry, I’m a waste.”

“…”

“Yang Jian, run!” Seeing this, Shen Lin tried to shout.

But even though his voice was loud, Yang Jian, playing with his phone, seemed not to hear.

“Damn it, the ghost is interfering with the surroundings; Yang Jian can’t hear or see the ghost.”

Shen Lin understood that now Yang Jian was an ordinary person, and any supernatural interference would affect him.

Such interference could be directly ignored if it were a ghost tamer.

The ghost was still approaching.

Step by step, it moved towards Yang Jian, and water kept dripping down from the red axe in its hand.

Shen Lin was now more thoroughly invaded and was definitely done for unless a miracle happened, and Yang Jian managed to counteract the ghost here; otherwise, his fate was sealed.

“Tap! Tap!”

The ghost stopped, standing right in front of Yang Jian.

At this moment, Yang Jian seemed to sense something, and his innocent face lifted with bewilderment. He felt a chill skin-deep, a chilling icy feeling in the surroundings, causing his body to involuntarily shift sideways.

“Too late. Although he sensitively noticed the oddity around, Yang Jian now is just a student, with no experience to perceive danger.”

Shen Lin had already lost hope.

He felt some regret.

Regretted recklessly invading the ghost’s memory alone, only to be dominated by the ghost.

If it were only that, it would be fine; he even dragged Yang Jian into the mess.

According to his plan, Yang Jian could eliminate him and end it all. But Shen Lin did not expect the ghost to seize control of him so quickly, making another move before being eliminated, choosing to invade deeper into Yang Jian’s memory.

The intensely wet ghost took another step forward with the axe in hand. Just as the axe was about to be raised.

Something unbelievable happened.

The ghost halted its actions.

Why did it stop attacking?

Shen Lin was puzzled.

And the next moment, what happened shocked Shen Lin; he saw from the shadow of the tree behind Yang Jian, a large, black-haired wolf dog emerge, its teeth bared, eyes glowing red, fierce and ruthless, seemingly ready to pounce on and tear him apart.

“Why is there a dog in Yang Jian’s memory? And it seems this dog can… see the ghost.” Shen Lin was stunned.

It was an incomprehensible occurrence.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Jian at this time shouldn’t have been exposed to anything supernatural.

The black wolf dog emerged from behind Yang Jian; its form wasn’t too real, like condensed black mist, not a dog with a flesh and blood body.

Yang Jian still crouched on the ground, playing games with Zhang Wei and some other classmates, paying no mind to these things.

“Wait, that’s not a dog… That’s also a ghost.” Shen Lin became terrified.

The beast-like growl echoed around them, not just one dog; shadowy areas all around saw more black wolf dogs emerge, each one identical, ferocious and eerie.

In just a moment, more than a dozen large wolf dogs had gathered on the playground.

And slowly, the number of wolf dogs continued to increase.

“What a joke, this dog—no, this ghost actually followed along the memory,” Shen Lin felt overwhelming waves in his heart.

He understood now that Yang Jian’s memory contained a dog, no, a frightening ghost resembling a dog.

The ghost from the Ghost Lake had invaded here through memory, and then that dog embedded in the memory sensed it and followed in chase.

But the most terrifying part was, the ghost possessing Shen Lin was just one alone.

Yet Yang Jian’s dog could pursue from various memory points, so the longer the ghost lingered here, the more dogs would arrive.

The completely drenched ghost, though still holding the red axe, didn’t attack Yang Jian anymore, but retreated, seeming aware of its fear.

But Shen Lin understood, it’s not that the ghost felt fear, but rather, Yang Jian’s memory segment had been protected by the dogs. Until all the dogs were eliminated, Yang Jian couldn’t be killed.

This was supernatural protection.

Though playing games on his phone seemed within reach in front of him, merely two steps forward to split him with an axe were practically unreachable in reality.

The ghost retreated while one large wolf dog after another closed in.

“The ghost has been caught; it can’t continue to invade, the supernatural power blocked by these wolves,” Shen Lin was both surprised and pleased.

Unexpectedly, a miracle did happen.

No, it shouldn’t be considered a miracle.

It was an inevitable event because Yang Jian’s memory stored this wolf dog, so when the ghost invaded the memory at the moment when the wolf dog appeared, it would be detected.

The wolf dog was equivalent to a firewall in the memory.

Any attempt to sift through Yang Jian’s past by supernatural means would be stopped.
