Questions in His Heart

"Why did it take you so long to come back? Is that house really haunted?"

On the way back, Jiang Yan leaned close to Yang Jian and cautiously asked, "If there's a real problem, won't it be dangerous to live here from now on?"

"It's more dangerous to live where you are. There are far more ghosts in the city center; this place is considered less crowded." Yang Jian looked at the ghost mirror in his hand. "The world is currently experiencing a full-blown supernatural outbreak, so in that sense, nowhere is safe to live."

"For true safety, Ghost Tamer must physically defend a territory; only then can it be considered safe."

After saying that, he looked at the neighborhood. "The environment, location, and transportation here all meet my requirements. Most importantly, the surrounding area is all undeveloped wasteland with few people, so the chances of triggering paranormal events are slim. Besides, I'm a local of Dachang City. Why would I go to another province if I didn't live here?"

"Paranoia have also occurred in other provinces, so going there might not necessarily be a good thing."

Yang Jian couldn't deny that Dachang City, being a large city, did have a lot of supernatural events. In reality, smaller cities with smaller populations would definitely be more suitable for settling down.

He's a local and has always lived here; he doesn't want to leave his hometown unless there's a special reason.

"You need to start work tomorrow," Yang Jian suddenly said.

"What do you want me to buy this time?" Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly.

Her current task is to manage money, and big money at that, which is very much in line with her profession. No matter how much money it is, she can calculate it precisely and spend it reasonably.

Yang Jian, "You wish! You'll be working at Mr. Zhang's sales office tomorrow. I own 40% of this property, and you'll have to manage that money for me."

These words were spoken.

Jiang Yan's eyes widened. "What? You own half of the community?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I move here?" Yang Jian.

Jiang Yan quickly started doing mental calculations. If Yang Jian owned 40% of the entire residential complex, then that would amount to at least several billion yuan in assets.

It's out!

Her face flushed with excitement, and she hugged Yang Jian, kissing him repeatedly. "You're amazing! We're rich!"

Jiang Yan witnessed firsthand Yang Jian's journey from nothing to immense wealth.

It's only been a little over a month.

The speed at which they're making money is simply unbelievable.

"Don't be so affectionate, and I should correct you, it's me who got rich, not you." Yang Jian covered her face with one hand and pushed her away.

Jiang Yan clung to Yang Jian's arm, refusing to let go. "Don't be so stingy, what's yours isn't mine."

"Hmm?" Yang Jian looked at her.

Jiang Yan quickly changed her tune. "What's mine is yours."

That's more like it.

Yang Jian nodded. "Go to work tomorrow. I'm sure Mr. Zhang will arrange the specific work. Mr. Zhang, Jiang Yan is a professional accountant. You don't have any objections to you starting work at the sales office tomorrow, do you?"

Sitting in the front of the car, Zhang Xiangui laughed and said, "It would be best if Brother Leg sent an accountant; it would make some accounts easier to settle."

I thought Yang Jian would be a hands-off manager, not caring about anything and just waiting to collect the money.

It seems I wasn't so naive after all. The woman next to me, whom I thought was just a kept woman, turned out to be an accountant. You couldn't have guessed that?

Zhang Xiangui did not see anything wrong with this.

On the contrary, I admire Yang Jian's work style; he's thorough and doesn't act naively or recklessly.

Zhang Wei has made a really good friend in his life.

Zhang Xiangui didn't care whether Yang Jian had money or not, he only cared about his ability. He had money, but he lacked a capable person to guide the boy in the future, so that he could feel at ease.

Time flies.

Three days passed quickly.

Yang Jian has stayed in his villa for the past few days and hasn't gone out. He's only replenished some special tools.

For example, there are special bullets that are almost used up, body bags, and some miscellaneous useful items, such as Gold Foil Paper and molds for smelting gold, which make it easier to make some things.

It cost nearly 60 million in total.

After that, he bought some furniture, several pickup trucks, and stockpiled some living supplies. In the end Yang Jian only had a little over 30 million yuan left.

I'm about to become penniless again.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan is already working at Zhang Xiangui's new sales office, so she won't have to worry about funding in the future.

Meanwhile, the old house from the Republican Era is also undergoing repairs day and night. It was built by Zhang Xiangui himself, so Yang Jian doesn't need to worry about the quality or any taboos.

It is believed that the repairs will be completed in less than ten days. In addition, the foundation has even been laid around the house, in preparation for building a temple to hide this ancient house.

Of course, none of this concerned Yang Jian.

The three-day wait was not a meaningless waste; at least he could be sure that the ghost in the mirror was truly unable to escape, and no matter where Zhang Wei was, the ghost in the mirror did not follow him.

The previous assumption was correct.

The worst thing you can do with a ghost mirror is to shine another mirror on it, otherwise the ghost inside will move out with the other mirror.

Early this morning.

Yang Jian got up.

As usual, he barely slept all night, only managing to doze off occasionally, but waking up again very quickly.

Because he needed to maintain a certain level of awareness and be wary of the ghostly figure beneath his feet that could go out of control at any moment.

The ability to handle a second one is still immature and has its flaws.

It only prolongs the time it takes for the vengeful spirit to revive; the crisis still exists.

However, the long hours of staying up late and not sleeping did not affect Yang Jian's spirit. If he didn't feel tired and need to rest, he could live a normal life without sleeping for 24 hours, just like he had insomnia.

Speaking of insomnia, Yang Jian had looked it up online. He found that people abroad had suffered from this disease before, and they could go all day without sleeping. What was amazing was that this state did not affect the patient's life or work.

It now appears that the so-called patient is very likely Ghost Tamer from abroad.

It's just that some organizations are releasing information that downplays the seriousness of the matter and misleads others.

People focus on this insomnia and overlook the existence of the Ghost Tamer.

The fifth floor of the manor villa.

This place has been left vacant since the renovation, and it's not used at all.

But in one of the rooms, the ghost mirror that had been brought out from the old house was placed there.

To prevent the support from rotting and breaking, Yang Jian replaced the support for the ghost mirror and also replaced the cover with a thick black cloth, as the old oilcloth was already rotten and unusable.

Instead of reflecting light, the surrounding walls were completely covered with black paint by a worker Yang Jian had hired, including the windows.

Therefore, the room was extremely dark, pitch black, and somewhat oppressive.

But the darkness doesn't affect anything; in fact, it's safe for placing this ghost mirror.

"Tell me, what exactly is this ghost mirror? And what are the remaining two rooms in that old house? You must know, right?"

Yang Jian sat in a chair in the room and took out a long-sealed human skin paper from a golden box.

With too many questions in his mind, after much deliberation, he decided to ask the strange human skin paper.

Yang Jian knew that this thing knew more than he had imagined.

However, due to its uncontrollable and mysterious nature, he sealed it completely in a golden container after the Huang Angang incident, and did not intend to use it easily.

However, the existence of the three rooms in the old house made him vaguely uneasy, so he wanted to get to the bottom of it and find out what happened.

The human skin paper still looked perfectly normal, unchanged despite having swallowed a ghost in Huanggang Village, which was good news.

Soon, a line of writing appeared on the parchment.

"Three days ago, I followed the ghost beside Zhang Wei to an old house from the Republican Era. The place was eerie; I could sense it was very different from other places. I went up to the second floor and saw three rooms, and these three rooms filled me with dread."

"In the third room I found a mirror, a ghost mirror, that's what I call it."

The writing ends here.

Yang Jian's face darkened.

Isn't this just spouting nonsense?

I already know all this; do I need you to tell me?

After its demands were met last time, it seems to be on strike, unwilling to reveal any key or useful information.
