Tong Qian had already prepared herself for a desperate fight.
She understood that it would be difficult for her to leave this place alive. She had already decided to buy the survivors some time and see whether they might be lucky enough to hold out until rescue arrived.
However, Yang Jian's sudden appearance left her bewildered.
"You're... Ghost Eye Detective Yang Jian?" Tong Qian looked at the man in the corner, holding a candle with a ferocious Ghost Eye exposed on his forehead.
"You've read my file?" Yang Jian was not surprised.
Detective files were shared. Every detective was qualified to access the files of other detectives, both to understand one another and to keep one another in check.
Tong Qian said, "I saw the files of several Ghost Tamers from Dachang City on my way here, including yours. You're the only Ghost Tamer so far to have survived the Ghost Knocking incident. Are you here as backup?"
"Not exactly. Someone agreed to my terms and had me come here to save people. I suppose you're the fool who charged headfirst into the Ghost Domain."
Yang Jian said, "I saw everything that happened earlier. I hadn't planned to show myself. If you people died in the Ghost Domain, I could report back to Zhao Jianguo afterward. I doubt anyone could prove that I stood by and did nothing. But what you did just now felt familiar. I thought I should give you a hand."
Tong Qian's willingness to sacrifice herself to save others reminded him of Zhou Zheng.
That was why Yang Jian had been willing to show himself and help her.
"How can you say that?" Tong Qian said angrily.
"Why can't I?"
Yang Jian spoke calmly as he walked over step by step with the candle in hand.
