Under the Streetlight

"Where are you going now?" Tong Qian asked as Yang Jian picked up a bicycle by the roadside after hanging up the phone.

He was even scanning the QR code to unlock the bike and getting ready to ride it when I couldn't help but ask him a question.

"Find someone," Yang Jian.

"Is it that important?" Tong Qian asked.

Yang Jian said, "To me, they are more important than you."

"So you're not going to take care of these survivors?" Tong Qian asked.

Yang Jian, "You should be able to take care of these survivors."

"But I'm not confident in dealing with that ghost. If you leave, and that ghost comes, these people will surely die."

Tong Qian said, "I suggest you take them with you. If you're going to take action, you should do it together. With the two of us, we should be able to rescue these survivors."

Yang Jian, "No, I plan to act alone for now. Don't worry too much about that ghost. Since you've already avoided one attack, the next one should be delayed for a while, so you're safe for now."

"But..." Tong Qian frowned.

"No buts. If you want to leave here, you'll have to follow my instructions." Yang Jian cut her off completely. "Wait for me to come back in this area."

"What if you don't come back?"

Yang Jian, "Then we can declare all of you dead."

"This won't do. You can't sacrifice so many people just to save one. I want you to find a way to get them out of here immediately." Tong Qian grabbed Yang Jian's bicycle and stopped him.

Yang Jian stared at her for a moment, then suddenly lunged forward, grabbing her by the neck and slamming her to the ground.

Tong Qian's expression changed drastically; she never expected Yang Jian to suddenly attack her.

But before she could speak, a pistol was pressed against her forehead.

"Enough! I don't need your orders to do what I'm doing. I won't stop you if you want to save people, but don't stop me from doing what I'm doing. If you dare say another word, I'll blow your head off. I want to see if that ghostly face on the back of your head can protect your beautiful head." Yang Jian's face was icy cold, and the golden pistol in his hand was already chambered and the safety off.

With his finger on the trigger, just one shot would be enough to blow Tong Qian's head off.

"You're crazy!" Tong Qian exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"This world is inherently capable of driving people crazy." Yang Jian stared intently at her. "So, are you going to stop me, or not?"

As he spoke, his fingers slowly began to bend.

Tong Qian could even see the trigger had been pulled.

This Yang Jian is really brave enough to shoot himself to death.

So, what kind of person did Zhao Jianguo invite to provide support?

Does someone like that really want to become Ghost Tamer in Dachang City?

Tong Qian didn't think too much about it. She remained silent, not daring to say anything that might provoke the person.

Any action he took could lead to Yang Jian killing him on the spot.

After a moment of silence.

"Very well, you're not hopelessly stupid." Yang Jian slowly put away his pistol, then without saying a word, turned around, got on his bicycle, and left.

Watching him ride his bike slowly disappear into the darkness ahead, Tong Qian stood up, her expression shifting.

This guy really has no scruples.

Are all other Ghost Tamer this arrogant?

Or is it just this guy who's like this?

Tong Qian rarely interacted with other Ghost Tamer. The city she was in charge of was just a small city, not even a fourth-tier city, and supernatural events rarely occurred there. Apart from contact with people at higher levels, she didn't have much contact with other people in this circle.

Yang Jian's actions and measures gave her a strange sense of shock.

It's as if it's revealed a cruel corner of this world.

"This person is like a wolf struggling to survive in the darkness. Although he may show a bit of kindness at times, it cannot hide his wolfish nature." Tong Qian thought to herself, "This person is extremely dangerous. I must stay away from him in the future."

But what she didn't realize was that the world was changing, and a certain order was collapsing.

Zhou Zheng's way of life won't work.

People like Yang Jian are better suited to the future environment.

"What are you doing Ghost Tamer? You've angered someone and they've left. Who's going to protect us now that they're gone? You don't even have the ability to do it yourself. From the beginning, I felt your attitude was very wrong. That young man did save us, after all, and you just started spouting off a bunch of high-sounding principles. I wouldn't feel comfortable either."

At this moment, one of the survivors, an older woman, pointed her eyes askance and made a accusation.

"Women are unreliable in crucial moments; you never know what they're thinking."

"We're doomed, we're finished. That capable guy rode off on his bike, and we're all going to die in this godforsaken place."

Upon hearing the survivor's words, Tong Qian's expression changed, but she couldn't refute them.

She truly couldn't handle the situation at hand.

"Although Tong Qian is a decent person, she's too idealistic and hasn't grasped the harshness of reality. Ghost Tamer like her isn't even qualified to be a teammate. Teaming up with her would only be a burden. In my opinion, she could never survive more than two supernatural events on her own unless she relies on someone else."

Yang Jian rode his bicycle along the road, keeping an eye on his surroundings, and thought to himself.

Because Tong Qian has a fatal flaw: she is unable to rationally assess situations.

This wouldn't be a big deal for an ordinary person, especially for a woman who is quite attractive.

But it doesn't work on Ghost Tamer.

When dealing with vengeful ghosts, the most important thing is to have a calm mind and a good judgment of the situation, knowing when you can succeed and when you can't.

Because one wrong step means death, there is no second chance.

He felt that Zhao Kaiming did this best.

Although they were enemies, Yang Jian had to admire Zhao Kaiming's style of doing things; it was truly watertight. If it weren't for the curse of the Ghost Knocking the door being spread over the phone, which caught him off guard and dragged him into this incident, his fate would be unknown.

Otherwise, Yang Jian would remain in a passive, defensive position.

Most importantly, he couldn't find a way to fight back.

Zhao Kaiming knew very well that he couldn't deal with Yang Jian, who now controlled two ghosts. Even as Ghost Tamer in Dachang City, he had to hide.

"However, he's also in this Ghost Domain this time, and the incident only happened because of him. If everything went smoothly, Zhao Kaiming should be dead somewhere by now. If Zhao Kaiming is really dead, then there shouldn't be only one ghost here; there should be two."

"I should be more careful."

Thinking about this...

Yang Jian became even more cautious.

He decided to take a walk around the area, and if he couldn't find Jiang Yan, he would rescue a few people and leave, just to give Zhao Jianguo an explanation.

Jiang Yan's life had to be given up.

Although this woman had indeed helped him a lot, he hadn't treated her unfairly either, and he had indeed lent a helping hand when she encountered paranormal events, but what could he do if she was just really that unlucky?

If Yang Jian stays here, he will only lose more.

That's all.

He rode his bicycle along the dark streets.

No matter how dark it was, how dark it was, his Ghost Eye could see everything clearly.

If everyone here were to die, Yang Jian believed that he would definitely not be among them.

"Something seems off about this Ghost Domain."

After riding his bicycle for a while, Yang Jian suddenly saw another street lamp by the roadside.

All the other streetlights were off, except for that one that was on.

Under the streetlight, a stiff figure still stood there, his back still turned to Yang Jian, just like the scene he had witnessed before.

Without a doubt, the person standing in the light under the streetlamp was a ghost.

Get lost?

Hallucination?

Yang Jian stopped his bicycle and frowned.

But the Ghost Eye on his forehead told him that this was neither an illusion nor that he was lost.

Because he doesn't see the road with his own eyes, but with the Ghost Eye, some things in the Ghost Domain cannot deceive him.

Unless the ghost has changed locations and you've simply encountered it again.

"I can go check it out and see if I'm just lost, or if this ghost is acting strangely." Yang Jian hesitated for a moment, not wanting to waste time taking a detour, and decided to ride his bike past it.

If it was Ghost Slave, then it was just a false alarm.

But just to be on the safe side, he lit the ghost candle again.

The eerie will-o'-the-wisps emitted a strange glow.

The light enveloped Yang Jian, giving him a greater sense of security.

The ghostly flame, which could even repel Door-Knocking Ghost, had no reason to fear a mere Ghost Slave.

But when he rode his bicycle, lit a ghost candle, and slowly passed by and approached...

Something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the ghost candle flame seemed to be doused with gasoline, and the flame suddenly intensified.

The candlelight flickered violently without any wind.

At the same time, the candle's burning speed is increasing dramatically.

In less than a few seconds, the ghost candle had already burned five centimeters long.

"That's impossible." Yang Jian suddenly stopped his bicycle, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly backed away.
