The "Zhang Yuan" on the fourth floor quickly disappeared into the corridor, entered the building, and left Yang Jian's sight.

Losing the ghost's location is inherently a very dangerous thing.

However, due to the ghost's unusual nature, Yang Jian believed that the people in the building were safe for the time being.

It's rare to encounter a ghost that doesn't kill people.

In Yang Jian's view, this mirror ghost was simply a breath of fresh air in the world of vengeful ghosts.

"Although this ghost poses a very low threat level, at most it can only be classified as C, restricted level, but it has a very bad characteristic: this ghost seems impossible to imprison." Yang Jian recalled the previous situations.

The appearance and disappearance of this ghost are both uncontrollable.

It's like a phantom, appearing and disappearing at any moment.

This characteristic is not good news for those Ghost Tamer.

Team Leader Liu is very efficient.

Furthermore, given that it's their own office space with plenty of staff, finding one person in the entire building is quite an easy task.

In no time at all.

Staff members located "Zhang Yuan's" position on the surveillance footage in the monitoring room.

"Captain Liu, we've located the suspect. He's in the archives room on the fifth floor. The surveillance footage shows him entering the archives room."

"Very good. You few come with me. Immediately seal off the archives room. The rest of you stay on the fourth floor and keep watch for any possible escape routes," Captain Liu said.

"Yes, Captain."

Captain Liu then said into the phone, "Yang Jian, we've located the person. They're in the archives on the fifth floor. Come over quickly."

"Coming right away."

After putting down his phone, Yang Jian looked up at the building and frowned.

He had a question: what was causing this ghost to linger in the building and refuse to leave?

However, the motives of demons are unpredictable; sometimes they are highly purposeful, and sometimes they are not. In any case, they are a dangerous entity.

However, he went back into the building and went straight to the fifth floor.

At this moment, on the fifth floor.

Team Leader Liu arrived immediately and asked, "How is the situation now? Has anything gone wrong?"

A security guard standing guard at the entrance to the archives room reported, "Report: No incidents for now. The suspect has been silent since entering the archives room, and we haven't seen him from the doorway. However, there have been no reports of any injuries or fatalities among our colleagues."

"As long as everyone is alright, that's good." Captain Liu said, "You did a great job. The best way to deal with this kind of thing is to keep your distance. Never get close, and never try to capture it."

"Dealing with them is beyond our capabilities."

"Keep on guard. Yang Jian will be up soon, and he'll have a solution."

Supernatural events should be left to those Ghost Tamer; ordinary people who get involved will only face certain death.

"Oh no, there are footsteps coming from inside. The suspect is about to come out!" Suddenly, one of the observers exclaimed in alarm.

The sound of leather shoes walking on the floor came from the quiet archives room, gradually approaching the door, indicating that someone was about to come out.

Everyone around the cordon tensed up; although their faces remained relatively normal, their hearts were in their throats.

Because they all knew exactly what kind of being they were about to face.

Soon.

The figure flickered.

A person in uniform appeared before the crowd.

This person is exactly the same as Zhang Yuan, who was locked in the mirror. Even their clothes are the same, except that the words on their clothes are reversed.

"Captain, what brings you here?"

Zhang Yuan walked out slowly, then stopped and looked at Captain Liu outside the door with surprise.

Upon hearing this, Captain Liu and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

Could this person, who seems so normal, really be a ghost?

But reality is what we face.

Team Leader Liu immediately warned, "Zhang Yuan, stand there and don't move."

"Captain, what's wrong? What happened?" the "Zhang Yuan" in front of him asked.

"You are now a prime suspect. I order you to stand there and not move. We'll discuss everything after Yang Jian arrives," Captain Liu said.

Zhang Yuan moved again, walking towards the door with a questioning look on his face; "Yang Jian, who is that?"

"Stop! I ordered you to stop! Do you hear me?" Captain Liu shouted.

As the team leader, he is responsible for the safety of everyone here. If Zhang Yuan disobeys orders, he will take immediate action.

Given the suspicious nature of Zhang Yuan, he absolutely could not let this man leave the archives.

"Who is Yang Jian?" Zhang Yuan asked again.

"I order you to stop right there and not go any further," Captain Liu said.

"Captain, what's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Yuan asked again.

Upon hearing this repetitive question and answer from the Mechanical Engineering department, everyone's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Sure enough, Zhang Yuan was acting very strangely.

Zhang Yuan did not stop because of what Captain Liu said. He continued walking, and at this moment he was less than five meters away from the door, and the distance was still closing.

"Damn it." Captain Liu gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't hesitate any longer, and drew his gun to fire.

"Do it."

A gunshot rang out quickly.

It's impossible to miss at such a close distance.

The bullet hit Zhang Yuan's arm.

However, he saw that Zhang Yuan's arm only trembled slightly, and there was a clear bullet hole. No blood flowed from the wound, and he did not fall to the ground. There was not even a trace of pain on his face. Everything was still so calm.

"Damn it!" Captain Liu exclaimed, both shocked and furious.

This shot definitively confirmed Zhang Yuan's identity.

Some people even wanted to open fire.

However, this action was stopped at this point.

"It's useless. Firearms can't deal with this thing. What you have can only be used against criminals. Shooting at this thing is just a waste of bullets, except to bolster your courage," Yang Jian.

"Yang, Yang Jian?" Captain Liu was startled. He had been on high alert and hadn't even noticed Yang Jian approaching.

Yang Jian was looking at Zhang Yuan, who was right in front of him.

Without a doubt, this is a ghost.

He had met this ghost before, only his identity at the time was different.

"Captain, there are still cases to handle today, I think I should go to work," Zhang Yuan said again, his expression natural, showing no sign of anything amiss.

However, even the most natural answer cannot mask the mechanical way of replying.

Yang Jian had seen Captain Liu's warning earlier.

If you ask this person the same question, he will answer in the same way.

In ordinary conversations, it's not easy to spot this flaw because people don't ask each other the same question.

"Is there a way to deal with this?" Captain Liu didn't answer Zhang Yuan, but asked Yang Jian instead.

Yang Jian, "Dealing with it isn't difficult, but it's still just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Special incidents aren't so easy to resolve completely."

"He's coming out." Captain Liu's expression changed drastically at that moment.

Zhang Yuan had already reached the door.

It's so close.

It's almost there.

Team Leader Liu and other staff members dared to deal with the most dangerous criminals, but they dared not confront this special individual.

However, Yang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and stood motionless at the door.

The way to deal with this ghost is actually very simple.

Someone had already pointed this out when I encountered it before; I just needed to follow their example.

"What's your name?" Yang Jian asked.

"My Zhang Yuan," he replied naturally, even with a smile on his face.

Yang Jian, "You don't need to pretend anymore. You're not Zhang Yuan at all; you're a ghost."

Their identities have been exposed!

Immediately, the smile on Zhang Yuan's face froze, then returned to a blank expression. His face gradually turned pale, and his body began to stiffen. At the same time, his body was gradually disappearing.

Like a painting, it is being rapidly erased by an eraser.

In just a short while.

A huge person just vanished into thin air.

"No, it's gone?"

Those on guard outside stared wide-eyed at the sight, feeling a shock as if their common sense had been overturned.

Is this the supernatural event from urban legends?

Although I had heard about it before, this was the first time I had seen it in person.
