Familiar Things

Because the incident occurred in the city center, it generated a significant response.

Within ten minutes, special vehicles had arrived directly there.

The person in charge of this case is Liu Jianming, Captain Liu.

He's been having a headache lately. In his early thirties, he should be at the peak of his energy, but even though he looks serious and solemn as he gets off the bus, he can't hide the fatigue on his face.

"Evacuate immediately and isolate all unrelated individuals."

"Yes, Captain."

Team Leader Liu was efficient and decisive; he immediately issued the order.

"Captain, we've spotted Yang Jian in the crowd, and he seems to have witnessed the whole thing. Should we go and question him?" one of the officers said as they approached.

Yang Jian?

Team Leader Liu was slightly startled.

It wasn't the chance encounter with Yang Jian that surprised Liu, but rather his appearance that made Captain Liu immediately realize that this incident was most likely involving something shady.

In other words, this could very well be a paranormal event.

However, when faced with paranormal events, they cannot and are unable to intervene; they can only report them.

"Yang Jian, hello, we meet again."

Team Leader Liu decided to go and say hello. He walked over, saluted Yang Jian who was standing by the roadside, and then said...

"Captain Liu, it seems you'll be busy again. Although the casualties caused by this incident are not large, the impact is significant. After all, this is much more serious than the previous missing persons incident in the shopping mall," Yang Jian said.

"Do you know how much damage was done?" Captain Liu asked.

"I don't know."

Yang Jian, "Notify the new person in charge, Zhao Kaiming, and let him handle this. This is not something you can manage."

Captain Liu said with a wry smile, "Another paranormal event?"

"However, the new person in charge is a bit difficult to deal with. Even if we notify them, they won't be able to get here in a short time. If possible, could you help? We don't need to solve this problem; we just hope to save as many people as possible. That would be enough."

Yang Jian, "There's a saying in our country: 'Those in a position should fulfill their responsibilities.' Zhao Kaiming is currently in charge of Dachang City, and I can't rashly interfere. If things escalate, the responsibility will fall on my shoulders. Besides, if I directly intervene in other people's affairs like this, it's a bit like overstepping my bounds. You understand what I mean, Captain Liu?"

Team Leader Liu nodded, indicating his understanding.

He had handled cases before, so he knew that there was only one person in charge of a case, and it was indeed inappropriate for others to interfere.

However, Yang Jian was just being polite.

He was unwilling to get involved in a paranormal event without a valid reason.

Seeing that Yang Jian was unwilling to get involved in the incident, Captain Liu quickly left, as he was busy directing rescue and relief efforts.

But all this hard work had little effect.

At that moment, another male employee couldn't bear the fear and jumped from the fifteenth floor while crying and shouting, "I don't want to die, help!"

Anyone can feel that sense of despair.

"Bang!"

The person was already a corpse when they landed on the ground; blood was splattered everywhere, and the flesh was mangled beyond recognition—it was a sight to behold.

Some people didn't dare to jump, but were quickly dragged into the dimly lit office building by something.

The screams of despair rang out again, but quickly faded away.

Some people have already guessed it.

Those were screams of agony before death.

But those who started to think about it had already realized that something was very wrong.

If it was a fire, why wasn't it burning?

If there were criminals committing violence inside, why was there no sound?

What exactly happened inside?

It can drive people with a strong will to survive to jump off buildings.

If someone dares to jump from the fifteenth floor, does that mean the despair and terror inside surpasses the act of jumping from the fifteenth floor?

Soon.

The screams gradually subsided.

"They're almost all dead." Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly.

Suddenly, at that moment, he saw a figure walk out of the office building and finally stand in front of the glass window. However, from this angle, he could only barely see the upper half of the head; the rest was completely invisible.

That person was strange; he stood there motionless and appeared remarkably calm, completely out of place compared to the others who had collapsed and screamed earlier.

Moreover, this person's face was numb, and his skin was bluish-black, like a corpse that had been sitting there for several days. He didn't look like a normal person at all; he had no vitality or life force, and he was deathly still, carrying a strange sense of gloom and coldness.

"Is that a ghost?"

Yang Jian felt his Ghost Eye were about to open involuntarily, but he managed to suppress the urge.

After standing by the window for a while, the person quickly turned and left, disappearing from the fifteenth floor.

However, at the moment that person turned around, Yang Jian inadvertently saw his eyes.

Pitch black as ink with no pupils, like two dark, empty holes, eerie and sinister.

Although it was just a fleeting glance, Yang Jian was suddenly startled.

"It's it!"

He recognized the ghost.

It was the Ghost Infant that escaped from Zhou Zheng's body.

Yes, that's right.

Those pitch-black, empty eyes and bluish-black skin—it was definitely Ghost Infant.

Yang Jian had dealt with it twice before and wouldn't mistake it for something else.

The first time was when it had just revived, killing Zhou Zheng as it crawled out of his stomach, looking like a baby. The second time was at Wang Shanshan's house.

By then, the Ghost Infant had grown into a child and could stand and walk.

But now he clearly looks like a young man.

The dark blue haze covered the entire floor; that was the Ghost Domain the Ghost Infant was being conceived when we last met, only back then it was just a nascent stage, far from being Ghost Domain.

But now, we are very close to possessing the Ghost Domain.

"If this Ghost Infant continues to grow, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in Dachang City."

Although Yang Jian hadn't intervened in the incident, he felt a chill run down his spine upon confirming the Ghost Infant's rapid growth.

This ghost is getting scarier and scarier.

"Let's leave here."

He spoke to Jiang Yan, who was hiding behind him, too afraid to leave.

Now that we know the ghost's identity, there's no need to watch any further.

However, at this time...

"Boom!" came the roar of the car's accelerator.

A special vehicle, with tremendous power, burst out from the side intersection like a wild beast, smashing through a turning vehicle and crashing onto the sidewalk at the intersection. Without slowing down, it sped towards Yang Jian.

Yang Jian stopped in his tracks, and one of his Ghost Eye opened wide.

A headless shadow appeared behind me, giving the vague impression that it was about to rise from the ground and come back up.

"Are they coming for me?"

He felt the car had locked onto him with remarkable precision.
