   "My name is Su Yun. When you hear these words, you're already dead!" This story features a mysterious resurrection setting, but with an innovative ghost realm concept. The protagonist ultimately commands over 17 vengeful ghosts, only 5 of which share the same name and supernatural abilities as Yang Jian. He will embark on a completely different path to godhood from Yang Jian. This book will explain the origins of these vengeful ghosts, with absolutely plausible explanations! Each ghost will be controlled differently, relying on supernatural forces to balance and control them. The final path to godhood strictly adheres to the principle of "ghosts fighting ghosts," making the method of ascension completely unexpected and potentially ending the supernatural era!

    Reader note

    Highly recommended for those experiencing a reading slump! A hardcore ghost story comparable to "Mysterious Resurrection" | No female lead, all villains. Tired of mindless monster-killing and protagonist-heavy supernatural novels? Want to read a pure ghost resurrection masterpiece with sound logic, brutal survival, everyone acting selfishly, no saints, and no romance? This book, "Starting by Controlling the Night Watchman Ghost," perfectly matches the style of "Mysterious Resurrection." It features a post-apocalyptic supernatural world with hardcore rules, rigorous combat, and a progressively unfolding plot. A must-read for seasoned readers; beginners and those seeking easy reads should proceed with caution! ✅ Key Highlights | Distinguishing from assembly-line supernatural novels: 1. Absolutely authentic hardcore setting: Ghosts cannot be killed; only ghosts can control ghosts. It completely adheres to the core principles of top-tier supernatural novels: physical weapons are completely ineffective; ghosts are sophisticated killing machines, devoid of emotion and reason, only adhering to fixed rules to kill. There are no instant kills, no forced cheats; all escape, suppression, and ghost-controlling operations rely on exploring supernatural rules, utilizing the ghost realm for balance, and paying a heavy price. 1. The novel features a unique multi-layered ghost realm, hierarchical ghost realms, multiple control abilities, vengeful ghosts that cause system crashes, and three ghosts sharing the same origin, forming dozens of complete systems. The world-building is vast and closed-loop, bug-free and consistent, with each supernatural event representing a new game of rules. 2. The protagonist is extremely cautious and courageous, self-serving but not a saint, maintaining high intelligence throughout. There is no female lead, no ambiguous relationships, and no sycophantic plots! The protagonist, Ding Geng, remains clear-headed and rational throughout, avoiding recklessness, impulsiveness, and sympathy for villains. In the early stages, he is low-key and patient, concealing his abilities to survive, adept at using others' strength to test the rules of vengeful ghosts and avoid death traps. Later, he gradually unlocks dual ghost control and the Second Night Ghost Realm, steadily advancing in strength, relying on strategic maneuvering rather than a halo. He deeply practices the survival rules of the wasteland: supernatural power is a high-interest loan; every action is a drain on one's life. Later, he gradually transforms, losing his humanity and becoming a non-human anomaly, yet his character remains consistent throughout. 3. All characters are villains and ruthless bandits; there are no saints or moral blackmail—there are no good people in the entire book! All the Ghost Riders, Messengers, and forces in the Giant City are driven by self-interest and scheming. Betrayal, exploitation, backstabbing, and self-sacrifice are commonplace. There are no passionate alliances, no brotherhood, no forced redemption; temporary alliances are based solely on self-interest, and once those interests are shattered, they turn against each other. Supporting characters like Chen Dafu, Zhao Zhicheng, Lin Xiaoyuan, and Wang Zuan are all intelligent, ruthless, and harbor their own agendas. Every team battle is an extreme test of human nature and a life-or-death struggle, chillingly realistic. 4. The story unfolds along two parallel storylines, becoming increasingly compelling as the story progresses. The two main storylines are clear and unconventional: the Giant City survival storyline and the Ghost Post Office questline. The Giant City storyline unveils the wasteland order, the advancement of Ghost Riders, the power struggles within the Giant City, and the cruel symbiotic relationship between ordinary people and Ghost Riders. The Ghost Post Office storyline unlocks a mysterious messenger system, cross-domain supernatural missions, and high-level eerie secrets, gradually revealing the ultimate secrets of the supernatural era. Volume One lays the groundwork for the world-building and is full of foreshadowing, with a steady pace; Volume Two takes off completely, with the plot unfolding, combat power unlocking, and high-energy moments constantly emerging. The game of rules, battles in ghost realms, and clashes between factions are packed with exciting and sophisticated moments. 5. The combat power system is rigorous, without any inconsistencies or chaos. From the C/B/A/S-level ghost realm classifications, to the second-tier/first-tier/S-level/leading-level ghost tamers, and then to the control of single/double/triple ghosts of the same origin, the death-inducing ghosts, and the multi-layered advancement of ghost realms, the combat power ladder is clear and controllable. Every power increase comes with a backlash cost, and every opening of a ghost realm depletes lifespan. There is no invincible crushing, only extreme survival and winning by the skin of your teeth. High-level bosses each have their trump cards and counters, creating a high level of strategic depth. 6. No melodramatic plot twists, pure hardcore supernatural survival with zero romance, zero sentimental whitewashing, and zero moralizing. There's no forced stupidity or forced happy endings. Death, betrayal, and sacrifice are commonplace, perfectly capturing the cruel reality of a post-apocalyptic supernatural world. In this desolate place, only the most ruthless survive, and profit reigns supreme in chaos. ❌ **Precise Warning:** Not suitable for those who enjoy mindless wish-fulfillment stories. 1. Not for those who enjoy mindless wish-fulfillment: The protagonist is weak in the early stages, the pacing is steady, there's no overwhelming victory, and it focuses on cautious survival and the interplay of rules. 2. Not for those who dislike dark and depressing themes: Everyone is evil, humanity is dark, there's no justice or redemption, and the plot is brutally realistic. 3. Not for those seeking a happy ending or good deeds being rewarded: Those who control ghosts have extremely short lifespans; everyone is struggling on a countdown, there are no sentimental tropes. 4. Not for those who dislike slow-burn setups and detailed rule-based narratives: The early stages heavily establish the world-building and supernatural rules, making it a slow-burn, high-energy read. 🌟 A veteran reader's honest review: A top-tier supernatural novel comparable to "Mysterious Resurrection," breaking away from the formulaic wish-fulfillment formula, with character design, plot, and world-building all on par with masterpieces. The first volume sets the stage for a minor explosion, while the second volume is a direct leap to godlike status—it gets more and more addictive with each reading! No female lead, no saintly protagonists, everyone's in a game of strategy, hardcore rules—it's a rare gem of a pure ghost resurrection story in recent years! For those experiencing a reading slump, or seasoned readers who enjoy rule-based supernatural stories, dark survival, and intellectual battles, this is a no-brainer!
