How Come Only Two Came Back?

"No, I meant..."

"About the supernatural abilities."

"After all, I'm just an ordinary person with good luck and a supernatural item."

Wang Ye stopped walking, turned to look at Zhou Han, and pointed at the hemp rope tied around the ghost. He smiled faintly.

Zhou Han froze for a moment, then gave Wang Ye a long look and pursed her lips slightly. "Just as Mama said, all men are scheming bastards."

"But I'll keep big brother's secret!"

"It's just that... it seems like it's become even harder to twist your head off."

Zhou Han's train of thought shifted in an instant, and she looked at Wang Ye with some distress.

Sure enough, sometimes he really couldn't tell whether this girl was genuinely crazy or only pretending to be.

The corner of Wang Ye's mouth twitched slightly. He stopped paying attention to Zhou Han.

By then, the green mist over the amusement park had completely dispersed. Under the tense and expectant gazes of the Investigators, Wang Ye and Zhou Han slowly came into view.

"Why did only two come out?"

The deputy director of the Action Department frowned slightly as he looked at Wang Ye and Zhou Han.

Logically speaking, this Supernatural Incident should not have been particularly high-level. Besides, he had dispatched Zhou Han, a high-ranking Superhuman who had happened to be nearby. In his view, it should have been easily resolved.

"Investigators, prepare to enter and begin rescue operations."

"Also, send in several Doctors for emergency treatment."

Though puzzled, Xu Ze, the deputy director of the Action Department, continued handling the aftermath in an orderly manner.

Once most of it had been arranged, he hurried over to Wang Ye and Zhou Han.

"Why are there only the two of you? Where are the others?"

Although he was speaking to both of them, Xu Ze's gaze was almost entirely fixed on Zhou Han.

In his eyes, Wang Ye was merely some pitiful man Zhang Ziliang, that old bastard, had arranged to be sent in to die.

"Can't you see? Two of them!"

At some point, Zhou Han had returned to her cold expression. She merely glanced at Xu Ze indifferently and replied in a flat voice.

"Two???"

Xu Ze hurriedly looked behind Zhou Han. Sure enough, a ghost with a Golden Nail driven into it floated quietly behind her.

But...

There was only one!

Where was the other one?

Xu Ze instinctively looked around Zhou Han, but there was no second ghost.

"Ahem."

Wang Ye gave a light cough. Xu Ze's gaze finally fell on him, and his expression abruptly turned to shock.

One end of a hemp rope was tied around Wang Ye's waist. At the other end stood a silent, subdued ghost.

"This one?"

Xu Ze found it hard to believe. How could an ordinary person possibly suppress a ghost?

"Um..."

"Could you stop staring and lock it up first?"

Wang Ye looked at the somewhat dumbfounded Xu Ze and said helplessly.

There were some things he did not want to make too conspicuous. In this era where lives were cheap, keeping a low profile was the foundation of survival.

"Oh."

"Alright."

"You've worked hard."

Xu Ze nodded blankly and left in a daze. After a while, another obvious Superhuman walked over carrying two Golden Containers. He gave Wang Ye a curious look, then let out a soft exhale. The ghosts drifted into the Golden Containers like smoke.

Afterward, the Superhuman solemnly sealed the containers, gave Wang Ye another curious glance, and then turned to leave.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

Wang Ye frowned slightly as he looked at the chaotic crowd around him.

Whether in his previous life or this one, Wang Ye had never liked places with too many people.

Perhaps it was because, wherever Supernatural Incidents broke out, the more people there were, the easier it was for them to die.

Zhou Han looked at Wang Ye coldly, nodded, and said nothing.

"You look much more pleasing to the eye like this."

Wang Ye muttered a complaint under his breath, then quickly turned and left before Zhou Han could react, returning to the car they had arrived in.

Soon, the car started and disappeared from Zhou Han's sight.

Zhou Han watched Wang Ye's departing figure coldly for a long time.

Then, she suddenly smiled, looking incredibly seductive.

"What an interesting guy."

She lightly licked her alluring lips, her voice full of magnetism.

Around her, several Investigators passing by Zhou Han froze on the spot.

Only after a long while did they all leave with their backs hunched.

Inside the car, it was still the same Investigator driver from before. As he drove, he watched Wang Ye through the rearview mirror.

He was curious. He truly couldn't imagine how Wang Ye, an ordinary person, had managed to survive after getting involved in a Supernatural Incident.

After all, he had heard that even two Superhumans had died in this incident.

Headquarters

Zhang Ziliang answered the phone with a slight frown. After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is what you said true?"

"Good!"

Zhang Ziliang hung up with an excited expression.

Yang Chen looked at Zhang Ziliang curiously. "Your wife is pregnant?"

"Get lost!"

Zhang Ziliang cursed irritably, unable to hide his joy.

"Wang Ye survived!"

"..." Yang Chen was speechless. "Even ordinary people can survive if they're cautious enough. Is there really any need to get this excited?"

"And you don't seriously think everyone in our Logistics Department is useless, do you? That no one can survive?"

"Then this wouldn't be an assessment. It'd be murder."

Yang Chen rolled his eyes, glanced lazily at Zhang Ziliang, and said flatly, "Besides, I remember this Wang Ye. His performance was pretty good."

Zhang Ziliang glared at Yang Chen and said irritably, "If he had only survived, would I be this excited?"

"Ahem."

As he spoke, Zhang Ziliang coughed and said solemnly, "Not only did he survive, he personally subdued a ghost."

"Everyone underestimated this Supernatural Incident. Both Superhumans died inside. What that means, I don't need to explain, right?"

Yang Chen's expression gradually changed from lazy to serious. "Are you serious?"

"Of course."

Zhang Ziliang took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. "This proves that my plan is feasible."

"Even a newcomer like Wang Ye can subdue a ghost."

"Then those old hands who usually cherish their lives, love to eat, and hate to work can't keep showing up without putting in any effort, right?"

"After all, those old geezers do have some skills."

The smile at the corners of Zhang Ziliang's mouth couldn't stop spreading. "I knew it. With my sharp eye, I'd long seen that Wang Ye wasn't ordinary."

"Heh."

Yang Chen gradually returned to his previous lazy demeanor after his initial shock.

Although it sounded shocking that an ordinary person could subdue a ghost, thinking about it carefully, it wasn't such a big deal.

It could only be said that an ant had stepped on a bug, which seemed surprising.

But upon closer thought, it seemed much easier for a human to step on a bug.

Wang Ye merely had the added aura of being as weak as an ant.

Of course, if he ever became a human capable of stepping on an elephant, he would become someone worthy of admiration.

"I want to see Wang Ye!!!"

Zhang Ziliang took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming as he spoke.
