Ghost Rope

Yang Jian sized up Wang Yue.

He wasn't very old, only around thirty. Although he dressed like a slacker, smoking a cigar and wearing a scarf, he gave off a mature and steady vibe.

It's clear that Wang Yue is a veteran who has experienced many paranormal events.

Temperament and intellect are honed through countless life-or-death experiences.

He frowned as he looked at the elderly woman hanging under the streetlight, struggling and gradually losing her breath.

"What? Weren't you going to kill her too? I helped you out, saving you a bullet. That should be a good thing, right? Are you blaming me?" Wang Yue noticed Yang Jian's gaze and immediately spoke up.

Yang Jian, "No, I just remembered something."

"The deaths of Yan Li and his family of three are very similar to this method; they were also hanged alive, and their bodies have been left in the villa for two or three days, already infested with maggots. Did you do this?"

Wang Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself, "This is bad."

I had completely overlooked such a detail.

Yan Li and Yang Jian were partners before their Yan Li, and they worked together to handle paranormal events. They could be considered friends.

"If you won't speak, then you're the one who did it." Yang Jian's gaze sharpened. "You're really ruthless, killing to silence everyone, leaving no one alive."

Wang Yue's expression changed, and then he said, "I had no choice. Someone forced me to take action, and I had no other options. If you want to cause trouble, you should go find Zhao Kaiming. He's the one who told me to do it. I didn't know about this at first."

"But you still did it, didn't you?" Yang Jian sneered. "Trying to shift all the blame onto Zhao Kaiming? Do you dare say that when you agreed to this, Zhao Kaiming didn't promise you any benefits?"

"That's a different matter. I was also tricked by Zhao Kaiming. He wanted to use my position as an intermediary to get rid of Yan Li, so that you would suspect Xiaoqiang Club and make you fight Wang Xiaoqiang to the death. Just before this supernatural event broke out, he even approached me, wanting me to join forces with Wang Xiaoqiang to deal with you."

"Unfortunately, this matter was interrupted. But Zhao Kaiming should be dead by now, so I won't be working for him anymore. Take me away from here, and I can help you deal with Wang Xiaoqiang."

Yang Jian, "You're being far too naive. You dealt with Yan Li, and then you agreed to Zhao Kaiming's plan to deal with me. Now you expect me to save you?"

"Saving me won't do you any harm. The Xiaoqiang Club will be after you soon. Without help, you're likely to die at Wang Xiaoqiang's hands. Although many of the Xiaoqiang Club's Ghost Tamer have died because of you, there's still one very powerful guy named Ye Feng who has mastered..."

"A man with two ghosts like him, your chances of winning against him aren't very high."

"The odds of winning aren't very high, which means they're not 100% confident they can take me down. That's why Zhao Kaiming sought your cooperation, asking you all to join forces to eliminate me?" Yang Jian's eyes narrowed, a hint of alarm in his voice.

Zhao Kaiming is truly ruthless; he actually came up with such a vicious plan.

"That's right, that's the plan, but things have changed. I don't intend to help Wang Xiaoqiang anymore. As long as you take me away from here, I can help you deal with them." Wang Yue took a puff of his cigar and said seriously, "After eliminating Xiaoqiang Club, and with Zhao Kaiming's death, you will definitely be the next detective. At that time, you will be in charge of the entire Dachang City."

"This won't do you any harm; after all, it's a win-win situation."

Yang Jian, "I'm afraid this is a win-win situation for you. You can survive, get rid of their orders, and eliminate my hostility towards you."

"Cooperation benefits both sides. For people like us, the key is to survive better; everything else is insignificant."

Wang Yue said, "Besides, what supernatural event doesn't involve death? Hundreds die here today, dozens die there tomorrow. Deaths happen all over the world every moment. I did kill Yan Li's family, but it has no impact on you."

"Zhao Kaiming ordered me to kill someone just to drag me into this mess. Now that things are out in the open, all you need to do is give your approval and everything can stop here."

Yang Jian pushed open the car door and got out. "What if I don't want to?"

Wang Yue paused for a moment, then frowned deeply.

He felt that his reasoning could convince Yang Jian, since there had been no direct conflict between them, and he couldn't understand why Yang Jian wouldn't agree.

"If you refuse, I still have other ways to leave this place, but the price will be higher. However, after I leave, I will definitely cooperate with Wang Xiaoqiang, which will be bad news for you. So I hope you think it through. Moreover, if things get out of hand here and something unexpected happens, and the vengeful ghost is resurrected, it will not benefit anyone," Wang Yue said.

Although there are many battles among Ghost Tamer, they rarely go to war to the death.

He agreed to Zhao Kaiming's request because he didn't want to fight Zhao Kaiming to the death, and he also chose to reconcile because he didn't want to fight Yang Jian to the death.

If they were to fight it out, they would both suffer losses.

After all, using the power of a vengeful spirit is equivalent to consuming one's own life, even for Yang Jian who controlled two spirits.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, but the last thing I want to do is argue."

Yang Jian, "You killed Yan Li family and even conspired with Zhao Kaiming to deal with me. If it weren't for the Ghost Knocking' incident that dragged you into this, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark and wouldn't even know how I died. So..."

"So what do you want to do?"

Wang Yue gradually became wary. He stopped approaching and kept a close eye on Yang Jian's Ghost Eye and the thick, ink-like shadow beneath his feet.

He knew some information about Yang Jian.

He knew a little about the two ghosts on him, but not much.

"Of course, I'll take this opportunity to finish you off in one fell swoop. After I kill you, Wang Xiaoqiang won't be a problem. If it really comes down to a fight, it'll be a 50/50 chance. If you're one of them, I'll be more hesitant. Besides, I have a helper by my side now." Yang Jian looked at Tong Qian beside him.

Tong Qian's expression changed; "Although I don't know the situation in Dachang City, he's right. It's not good to cause trouble now. We're still in the Ghost Domain, and that ghost could appear at any moment."

"Are you willing to help or not?" Yang Jian.

"I will not leave the Ghost Domain until he dies."

Threatening.

This is clearly using the lives of these survivors as leverage.

"Alright, I'm willing to help you." Tong Qian had no choice but to agree.

Although she was unwilling, she could see clearly that this Ghost Tamer named Wang Yue was the kind of lawless murderer.

Yang Jian is cold-blooded, but this guy is even more ruthless.

"Very good." Yang Jian nodded.

Wang Yue's expression changed immediately.

He wasn't even confident he could handle Yang Jian alone, let alone with another detective.

"Let's go!"

Without a second thought, he immediately turned and fled.

We must escape, or we will surely die.

These two combined pose a greater threat to him than that old ghost. At least the old ghost wouldn't single-mindedly pursue him, but this Yang Jian is determined to kill him.

"It's too late to leave now." Yang Jian raised his hand and fired a shot.

"Bang!"

Once a gunshot rings out, hitting someone at such close range wouldn't be difficult.

Wang Yue immediately let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground.

Sure enough, this thing is quite effective against Ghost Tamer.

However, Yang Jian felt that it was still a bit unrealistic to think that he could kill a Ghost Tamer with a specially made pistol.

"Yang Jian." Wang Yue, lying on the ground, glared at him with a ferocious expression. "You started this! If you don't want me to live, then we'll die together."

As the scarf around his neck came loose.

An old hemp rope appeared around his neck.

The rope was tied in a tight knot around his neck, constricting it so tightly that it resembled a leaky spout.

Logically, with this method of strangulation, the neck should be broken, and the person should be dead.

But Wang Yue is still alive and well.

Ghost Rope Wang Yue.

Those who know his background will call him that.

"Looks like you're not far from the resurgence of a vengeful ghost. I'll just finish you off today, so that no more supernatural events might occur after you die." Yang Jian showed no fear and strode over.

"Naive! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you control two ghosts?" As Wang Yue spoke, the straw rope around his neck seemed to tighten even more, and the sound of his neck bones cracking could be heard.

Instantly, his face flushed red, and he was in excruciating pain.

And at that very moment...

Yang Jian suddenly stopped in his tracks.

I felt a cold chill on my neck.
