Several days later.
Yang Jian returned to Dachang City once again. The Ghost Lake Incident had affected him greatly. Though he had gained a few unexpected things, the hidden dangers were enormous as well.
Guangjiang Residential Area was called Guangjiang Residential Area because a river passed through it. Zhang Xiangui, the developer, had used that as a selling point to build this riverside community.
But because of the supernatural incident, the community had not sold well. If Yang Jian had not gotten involved, Zhang Xiangui would most likely have gone bankrupt.
But today—
Yang Jian walked alone across the gently rippling river, his expression calm as he moved forward.
He did not sink to the bottom. It seemed some strange force beneath the water was supporting him.
Sunlight shone down, and faintly visible beneath the cold river water were pale corpses swaying one after another. They seemed to have been dead for a long time, yet they had not decayed. As Yang Jian advanced, the corpses continued drifting around him, as though following him.
The supernatural influence of Ghost Lake had once contaminated the waters of Dachang City.
Yang Jian moved over the water, inspecting the anomalies below while also dispelling Ghost Lake's previous influence and restoring the city's river to normal.
Splash!
A spray of water rose. Nearby, the head of a woman with disheveled hair suddenly emerged from the surface. But in the next moment, a pair of stiff, pallid hands reached out from the water. Those arms tightly seized the woman's head and kept dragging it beneath the surface. Before long, both the arms and the woman's floating head sank together.
The water quickly returned to stillness.
The supernatural phenomena were being erased.
Yang Jian remained expressionless, continuing across the river as if he had seen nothing.
