The moment Yang Jian came into contact with the vengeful spirit, his body dissolved in the cold lake water.
The speed of his dissolution left him unable to respond—no, more accurately, it made any response impossible.
However, it was only Yang Jian's body that dissolved.
The black Ghost Shadow remained in the lake water, its eyes emitting a faint red glow as they stared at the female corpse that suddenly appeared behind him.
The corpse's long black hair floated, its body icy and white, yet a hint of ruddy red suffused it. An eerie smile was ever-present on her face, and her appearance hadn't changed; it was still that of Captain Yinzi.
At this moment, Yang Jian couldn't discern whether the ghost in Ghost Lake was actually Captain Yinzi, or if, like Cao Yang, she was trapped here, eventually becoming a vessel for the malevolent spirit within Ghost Lake.
But it no longer mattered.
The ghost's eyes suddenly emitted a crimson light.
