Wang Yue Appears

"Just this many people? It seems like there are fewer than before."

Yang Jian frowned as he looked at the dozen or so survivors behind Tong Qian.

Tong Qian said, "There are only so many people. The rest must have gotten separated. The Ghost Domain is strange. Often, when people follow the path taken by those in front, they find that the path has changed. Both groups have disappeared. There's nothing I can do in this situation, so there are fewer and fewer survivors."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you're alive," Yang Jian.

"What do you mean?" Tong Qian asked.

Yang Jian, "If we can't even save one Ghost Tamer, then this mission can only be considered a failure. How many survivors we can save depends on fate, but at Ghost Tamer must survive."

"So I became your bargaining chip in this exchange of benefits?" Tong Qian was both angry and furious.

"That's about right," Yang Jian. "You don't need to be angry. It's a good thing for a person to have value. What's worse is when a person has no value. Look at them."

After speaking, he pointed to the panicked survivors who had been dragged into this for no reason.

"Cold-blooded," Tong Qian said.

Yang Jian sneered. "This isn't cold-bloodedness, it's about making choices. Just like when I got involved in a supernatural incident, no one came to save me. I had to save myself. Do you know why I haven't taken the exam to join Headquarters? Because I'm not prepared to take on the responsibility for the safety of a city. After all, if someone is in charge, someone has to be held accountable. In the end, there will be some people you have to save whether you want to or not."

"If I don't become Ghost Tamer, I won't have to bear this responsibility, and I can be more free to find a way to survive."

Tong Qian said, "If you have this ability, why are you unwilling to do your part? What harm would it do you to save more people?"

"If a billionaire is so rich, why doesn't he give me a few million? Giving me a few million wouldn't affect him at all," Yang Jian retorted.

Tong Qian was speechless, knowing she couldn't win the argument.

Yang Jian added, "Now that everyone is here, it's time to go. Remember today's experience; it will help you survive."

Rescuing these people is a way of giving Zhao Jianguo some closure; the trip wasn't in vain, at least we got what he wanted.

Fortunately, this time he encountered Door-Knocking Ghost was relatively familiar to him. If it were any other ghost, Yang Jian would have to think twice. He wouldn't dare to recklessly stumble into an unknown supernatural event; the Huanggang Village incident had taught him a lesson.

"Wait a minute, wait for me, young man, wait a minute."

At that moment, an older woman, hearing that Yang Jian was leaving, hurriedly rushed out of a nearby shop carrying large and small bags.

"Hmm?" Yang Jian frowned.

"She's a survivor," Tong Qian said. "I know this woman."

Yang Jian raised the pistol in his hand, stuck it out of the window, and aimed it at her.

"What are you doing?" Tong Qian's expression changed.

"Drop what's behind you, or I'll shoot you dead if you come any closer," Yang Jian warned the woman sternly.

Tong Qian said, "She's an ordinary person, don't get too worked up."

"She is an ordinary person, that's true, but what's behind her is not," Yang Jian.

What's behind me?

Tong Qian glanced over and noticed that the older woman was carrying a large backpack, which seemed to contain some goods stolen from nearby shops.

"It was just some cigarettes, clothes, and other goods. She probably saw that no one was around and wanted to grab some."

Yang Jian sneered, "There are goods in the Ghost Domain? Do you think this is a street? I can't see any goods here. She clearly carried a ghost back. With her coming here, someone else is going to die."

"What?" Tong Qian exclaimed in surprise.

He immediately rushed forward to stop him, saying, "Quickly throw away what's behind you, hurry up!"

The woman ran while protecting her belongings behind her. These were things she had risked her life to retrieve from a nearby store, and she couldn't bear to lose them. "You didn't even call me before leaving! That's so unfair! These things won't bother you at all."

"I shot her when she didn't put anything down after crossing the line on the road," Yang Jian.

Tong Qian was both angry and anxious; "Listen to my orders, throw the things away right now, or he'll shoot."

"You're the city officials, how could you shoot at an ordinary citizen like me? Don't scare me, hurry up and get going, I've made it here."

The older woman looked unconvinced and instead urged Yang Jian and the others to set off quickly.

"There's no other way." Yang Jian raised the gun in his hand.

But at that moment, the woman suddenly screamed and flew into the air. A rope, which appeared out of nowhere, was tightly wrapped around her neck, and she was hung under a nearby street lamp. Her body struggled violently in mid-air, her old face turning red as she nearly suffocated.

"What's going on?" Tong Qian exclaimed in surprise.

"You're Yang Jian?"

The next moment, a man wearing a scarf and smoking a cigar walked out of a nearby shop without making a sound.

"Are there Ghost Tamer in this Ghost Domain?" Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and immediately became alert.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Yue. Although we live in the same city, this should be our first meeting. I've heard of your reputation as 'Ghost Eye Yang Jian' for a long time. Meeting you today, I can see you truly have the air of a young hero. I admire you." Wang Yue walked over, puffing on his cigar and clapping his hands.

Wang Yue?

Upon hearing the name, Yang Jian felt a sense of familiarity.

When he caused trouble at Xiaoqiang Club before, the surviving shareholder, Ma Youcai, told him that Wang Xiaoqiang had connections with Wang Yue of Rose Bar.

Could it be this person?

"Looks like you're not so lucky; you've also been caught up in this supernatural event." Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly.

The source of these paranormal events appears to be the Rose Bar.

Could he be one of the people on Hao Shaowen's phone list from back then?

"It was pretty unlucky. Who would have thought disaster would strike out of nowhere? You're just sitting in your own shop, and suddenly you encounter a supernatural event." Wang Yue took a puff of his cigar and exhaled a smoke ring. "It really wasn't easy surviving that old ghost."

Yang Jian, "You've only survived temporarily."

I know, so I hope you can help me.

"What kind of help?"

Wang Yue said, "Could you give me a ride and take me away from here?"

"Why should I help you?" Yang Jian.

Although he disliked Tong Qian, there was no deep-seated hatred between them, and he could tolerate helping her out. But this Wang Yue, his hands were not clean, and it was unknown whether he was friend or foe. How could he possibly save someone who was suspected of being an enemy?

Wang Yue said, "There's no reason why. You help me, I help you. It's a fair thing. Do you want to refuse my good intentions? You have the ability to leave here. Taking one more person with you won't be a burden, will it?"
