See the Rescue Through

Jiang Yan remained in the driving position.

In her eyes, all around was darkness, with only one road that never ended. No matter how fast she drove or how much time passed, the road never seemed to go on.

There wasn't a single ray of light to be seen along the roadside.

In addition, knowing that real ghosts could appear here at any time.

Even sitting inside the car, she was still enveloped in fear.

If Jiang Yan hadn't known that Yang Jian had come to rescue her and still held a sliver of hope, she would have already broken down, and might even have gone insane by now.

"So much time has passed, your boyfriend probably isn't coming back, is he?" The female saleswoman in the passenger seat asked, her face pale and her voice trembling.

She's still alive. During the previous attack, she was lucky; the car accelerated and seemed to shake off the ghost. Then she slammed the car door shut and held onto the handle tightly, which allowed her to survive until now.

However, the saleswoman had a bruised handprint on her wrist.

It was grabbed by the hand that reached in from the outside earlier.

The hand was cold and stiff, yet contained terrifying power, nearly snapping her wrist.

How would I know?

Jiang Yan burst into tears. "He's already here, but whether he'll save me or not, I don't know. Stop asking me. Anyway, if Yang Jian doesn't come, we're doomed."

"We'll just stay here and wait as long as we can. I don't know what else to do."

But just as she was speaking, her phone rang.

Jiang Yan glanced at the caller ID frantically, and after confirming it was Yang Jian calling, she immediately answered.

"Open the car door."

Where are you?

Yang Jian, "Stop talking nonsense, I told you to open the car door."

"But... but I'm driving! There are ghosts outside! I'm scared! A ghost just opened the car door and almost got in!" Jiang Yan said. "Where are you? Come save me!"

"If you keep saying these useless things, I'm leaving," Yang Jian.

"No, okay? I'll do as you say, I'll open the car door." Jiang Yan hurriedly opened the car door in fright.

The car door opened.

An eerie candlelight shone in, revealing Yang Jian standing outside the carriage door holding a candle.

"You're such a nag, woman. I don't think I should come to rescue you next time."

"Yang, Yang Jian, what are you doing here?" Jiang Yan's eyes widened, but then she was overjoyed and almost cried with excitement, "It's so good that you're here, I almost died, you know that?"

After saying that, he rushed out and hugged Yang Jian.

"You're still driving!" The female salesperson next to her was startled.

But when she looked outside again, the situation had changed.

I don't know when the car stopped. As the candlelight pushed back the surrounding darkness, it became clear that the car had been parked on the side of the road the whole time and hadn't been driving at all.

Bewitched by a ghost?

The female saleswoman was so frightened that she almost collapsed in the car.

Did neither of them start the car at all? Was everything they saw earlier just an illusion?

This is... this is terrifying.

"I knew you'd keep your word and come to save me, and you didn't disappoint me. It's so great that you showed up, I love you so much!" Jiang Yan excitedly hugged Yang Jian's neck, wanting to kiss him a few times.

"Don't be so affectionate."

Yang Jian slapped her across the face and looked at the woman in the passenger seat. "Who is she? Did you pick her up from the roadside?"

"She's a car saleswoman. Didn't you ask me to buy a car last time? There were some paperwork that needed you to handle, so I specifically brought the saleswoman to you. Who knew something like this would happen on the way?" Unable to kiss Yang Jian, Jiang Yan clung to him tightly, refusing to let go.

As Yang Jian pried her arms apart, he said, "She doesn't look well. Was she attacked by a ghost?"

"Yes," Jiang Yan said.

"He's really lucky to be alive." Yang Jian withdrew his gaze.

It has been confirmed that the female salesperson is not problematic.

"Sit in the back, I'll drive. It's time to leave. We've been in this awful place long enough. If we drag this out any longer, that ghost will come looking for us." Yang Jian finally pushed Jiang Yan away.

Jiang Yan pouted and said, "No, I want to sit with you."

"Nonsense, do you think you're some kind of sofa? You can squeeze in and sit down. Don't waste your time," Yang Jian.

"I can sit on your lap. I'm so slim, it won't affect your driving," Jiang Yan said.

Yang Jian, "But you're affecting my mood. You've already made me feel terrible. If it weren't for saving you, do you really think I would have come to this godforsaken place? My salary will be halved and my workload doubled when I get back."

I forcibly moved this clingy guy to the back seat.

He blew out the ghost candle, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away.

The lights flashed.

The female saleswoman next to her inadvertently glanced out the car window and saw a decomposing corpse slowly walking towards them, which terrified her and made her scream.

"Outside, outside, there is outside."

"It's just a ghost, why are you making such a fuss? Didn't you encounter one before? If you keep shouting like that, I'll kick you off the bus." Yang Jian glared at her coldly.

The saleswoman trembled and quickly covered her mouth.

"Don't scare people. If you kick her out, who will help you with the paperwork?" Jiang Yan stood up from behind, poked her head forward, and happily hugged Yang Jian's neck again.

"Sit still, or you'll end up the same way," Yang Jian.

Jiang Yan's smile froze slightly, then quickly disappeared. She sat up straight in the back seat, even more obedient than a child listening to a teacher.

Yang Jian is now going to look for Tong Qian, whom he really dislikes, on the way.

I'm definitely going to be the rescue team leader today.

If they don't get a few people out of trouble, Zhao Jianguo will have a hard time explaining himself.

If he had simply taken Jiang Yan and the female salesperson away, Zhao Jianguo would probably have been furious.

For the sake of the rights of a criminal investigator, a pushover has to keep up the act.

But when Yang Jian drove to the intersection where he had left before, he found that not only Tong Qian, but all the other survivors had also disappeared.

"Hidden?"

Yang Jian glanced around, too lazy to search anymore, and simply shouted outside, "Three minutes! Anyone who gets here in three minutes can leave alive, otherwise they can stay in the Ghost Domain and wait to die."

They had already been instructed to have Tong Qian and these people wait for them nearby.

If they choose to run around, they only have themselves to blame.

Yang Jian didn't have the energy to search for and rescue them one by one.

He believed that there were other survivors in this Ghost Domain, not just the group gathered by Tong Qian. Otherwise, the Door-Knocking Ghost would have been gone for so long; normally, it would have come looking for him long ago.

The sound wasn't loud.

The sound echoed through the silent streets; any survivor hiding nearby could surely hear it.

Soon.

Tong Qian walked out of a shop, her hair in a high ponytail that swayed as she walked. Combined with her police uniform, she had a somewhat heroic air about her, but her complexion wasn't very good.

"I thought you were just saying it casually and wouldn't come back. You actually came to save us out of kindness?"

Yang Jian rolled down the car window, looked at her, and said, "If you die in Dachang City, there will be another ghost here, and I'll probably have to clean up your mess."

"No matter what you say, since you're willing to come back to save people again, I should thank you, not only for the survivors but also for myself." Tong Qian wasn't angry at this moment; instead, she expressed her gratitude to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian paused for a moment, then calmly said, "It seems you've come to terms with some of reality, which is good. Supernatural events are the easiest way for a person to truly grow. This reckless action wasn't entirely without its benefits for you."

"Could you please not speak in such an educational tone?" Tong Qian said.

"Didn't you say the same thing about me before?" Yang Jian smiled. "People always unknowingly become the type they hate most, without even realizing it."

As she spoke, survivors began to appear one after another behind Tong Qian.

"One minute left," Yang Jian said, looking at the clock on his phone.

"Everyone gather around, we'll be able to leave here soon," Tong Qian directed, then asked, "What's your plan to leave here?"

"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it. Just know that I can get you away from here," Yang Jian.

Tong Qian stared at Yang Jian for a few moments. Although she didn't trust Yang Jian character, she admired his abilities.

Not every Ghost Tamer dares to ride a bicycle and wander around the Ghost Domain like this.

This doesn't require courage, but rather confidence in one's own abilities.
