Chapter 151: The Worst Situation

The decision was made. Zhang Haoran carried a backpack, held a gun in his left hand and a water bottle in his right hand, and determinedly plunged into the Ghost Domain!

He didn’t need an umbrella. Others used umbrellas because they were afraid of the possible effects of sunlight on the human body. But Zhang Haoran had no such concerns.

Watching Zhang Haoran disappear into the deep darkness, everyone, except Expert Chen, breathed a sigh of relief.

They had thought that an S-class ghost might resist, but Zhang Haoran, being immune to the supernatural, entered Luohe City.

Now it was proved that as long as it was a real scene with a real path under his feet, Zhang Haoran could disregard any paranormal barriers and walk in.

Moreover, Number 003 was also brought in and not rejected by the Ghost Domain. This was good news.

……

Before entering the Ghost Domain, Zhang Haoran couldn’t see any Black Sun or dark curtains. In his eyes, the whole of Luohe City was enveloped in a very faint white mist, giving it a mysterious feel.

Now, crossing a certain border, Zhang Haoran looked towards Luohe City and felt a sense of calm. He would have to go into the city to find out the specific situation.

———————–

After Zhang Haoran entered, the others patiently waited outside.

While waiting, they discussed the upcoming S-class event and how to contain the revival of dangerous spirits.

Fang Tianci’s condition seemed to be very serious. Even Expert Chen specifically warned him that he needed to transplant a second spirit within a short period of time, or else he wouldn’t live much longer.

About an hour later, all the Ghost Masters except for Chen Yehua suddenly turned their heads towards the Ghost Domain.

They saw a glimpse of a car in the darkness, followed by a blue sedan being driven out of the Ghost Domain. The driver was Zhang Haoran.

This surprised everyone. How did he come back so quickly?

Even if he wasn’t attacked by any spirits and smoothly entered the depths of the city, it would still take a considerable amount of time for investigation and finding people.

"Bang~!" Zhang Haoran forcefully slammed the car door and walked out with red, teary eyes. He still had the Permanent Rest in his hand, it didn’t stay in the Ghost Domain.

Yuwen Ting saw this scene and felt a bit heavy-hearted, "Did everyone inside die?"

Zhang Haoran, with his teary appearance, along with his expressionless face and almost hopeless eyes, it was really hard to associate it with any good news.

Faced with Yuwen Ting’s questioning and the puzzled expressions of everyone else, Zhang Haoran shook his head and said hoarsely, "I’m a failure, I’ve let you all down."

Afterwards, Zhang Haoran told them about his experiences after entering the Ghost Domain.

He indeed entered Luohe City without any obstacles, but he not only didn’t see a single ghost, he didn’t even see a single person!

The entire city was empty, terrifyingly silent. Zhang Haoran wandered around inside the city like a fly, from one end to the other, but couldn’t find any living beings.

It seemed like this place had encountered an inexplicable natural disaster, where all living creatures disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only the ruins of a civilization…

Chen Yehua sighed when he heard this, "The worst-case scenario has happened. Black Sun’s Ghost Domain has more than one layer."

With his words, Xu Bing and Fang Tianci were confused, but the team captains immediately understood. Yes, Ghost Domain can have multiple layers!

Ghost Domain is a very magical thing. It can merge with reality, creating a state where "you are in me, and I am in you."

It can also exist separately from reality, like a mysterious, supernatural space.

However, in order for it not to merge with reality, it needs to have layers. The first layer is built on top of reality, using reality as a foundation.

The second layer is built on top of the first layer, and it has no connection to reality. Everything inside is created by ghosts.

You might still think that you are living in the same city, but the material foundation of the entire world has already changed. You are just not aware of it.

For example, the A-class event at Luoxi No. 7 Middle School, Slender Man’s Ghost Domain, merged with reality. So, Zhang Haoran can communicate and interact with classmates inside it.

Even the Ghost Domain of the Little Theater is the same. Although at first glance, it seemed like everyone had left the drama club and entered a very large church.

But in reality, it still merges with reality, it is still based on reality. The people inside just misjudge the distance and space.

For example, you walked a hundred steps in the corridor of the church, but in reality, you only walked a dozen steps in theater club. When you were about to hit the wall, you started marching in place, marching a hundred steps, and really thought you had walked such a long distance.

The second floor is different, you really entered another world, another space.

Now Zhang Haoran is facing such a situation. Because Luohe City really exists, he broke through the Ghost Domain of Black Sun and entered the first floor.

But here’s the problem, Ghost Domain consists of more than one level. When Black Sun descended, it had already moved all the living people to the second floor.

Since Zhang Haoran is not affected by supernatural powers, he can never reach the second floor.

Even for S-class ghosts, they can create a third layer, a fourth layer, precisely selecting the targets they want to focus on, making everyone live in different worlds.

That’s what makes them so terrifying…

Chen Yehua had suspected the possibility of Ghost Domain having multiple layers from the beginning, but should they not send Zhang Haoran over just because there’s a possibility of layering? What if?

And it’s not even a what if. Not all malevolent spirits will create layers after opening Ghost Domain. For example, Chen Yehua suspects that Slender Man, a possible S-class ghost, didn’t create layers either.

So after thinking, Chen Yehua insisted on coming with Zhang Haoran, ignoring the advice of others in the research institute.

Now Chen Yehua’ guess has been verified.

As for Zhang Haoran, while he was on the plane, he heard Expert Chen mention theory of layering.

But he tried not to think about it too much because he was really afraid. He was scared that he wouldn’t be able to help with anything, just like back in Luoxi No. 7 Middle School…

But in the end, the worst possible outcome still happened. Zhang Haoran went to Luohe City, but he couldn’t do anything at all.

Even with the Level 0 seal, he couldn’t find anyone to ask for help, and he didn’t even know if his classmate Chu Jiang was alive or dead…

After listening to Expert Chen’s explanation, everyone else also understood the current situation.

Yu Jiang couldn’t help but exclaim, "It’s too difficult. Even though I have a Ghost Domain, I can’t do anything about layering. My Ghost Domain can’t invade an S-class ghost’s Ghost Domain."

Everyone remained silent, except for Zhang San, who went up to talk to the dejected Zhang Haoran. He said that he could at least be responsible for transporting highly dangerous seals, and his ability was definitely not worthless…
