The Eerie Finger

"Report, the detector shows there's suddenly someone in the house. The person who was previously inside, suspected to be Yang Jian, has started moving. He's taking the elevator down from the fourth floor; he's probably leaving the villa."

In the distance, across a river, lies the opposite bank.

An operative in tattered camouflage clothing lay prone on a high vantage point, using a detector to survey the villa from a distance.

Next to him, a sniper was lying prone.

A heavy sniper rifle was propped up on the ground, precisely aimed at the villa on the opposite bank of the river.

The straight-line distance will not exceed 500 meters.

With such a sniping range, any sniper with even a little training would have absolutely no chance of missing.

And to ensure absolute safety, there are three more such sniping positions.

"There's one more person? What's going on?" Kong Feng frowned, slowing his pace.

"It's unclear. We hadn't detected any second life signs in the villa before; it seems like they suddenly appeared," the observer said.

Kong Feng said, "Ignore him. Keep an eye on the person who might leave the villa at any moment. Once we confirm it's Yang Jian, snipe him when we get the chance. You must fire the first shot."

"Understood," the observer said.

Kong Feng took off his headphones and asked, "How's the setup going?"

"Everything is ready. We're waiting for Yang Jian to appear." Daisy and the other members nodded.

Kong Feng slowly exhaled. "Then let's begin. The rest of you, remain hidden. I hope this mission will be a complete success."

Although this wasn't his first time hunting Ghost Tamer, he felt a strange pressure this time.

Was it the unease brought about by Ah Hai's previous death, or a harbinger of some kind of impending doom?

He didn't know.

But the mission has already been accepted, and there's no way to refuse. Hopefully, Yang Jian, like the other Ghost Tamer, can be dealt with smoothly without any unexpected changes.

A hissing sound rang out.

The observer on the opposite bank of the river added, "The target is about to leave the villa and enter the area."

Kong Feng's expression hardened, and he immediately looked at the detached manor villa.

From his vantage point, he could see Yang Jian's position and immediately determine whether the plan would succeed or fail.

Long-range sniping is just the first step.

At that moment, the gunman pulled the bolt, and a golden bullet, thicker than a finger, was pushed into the chamber, waiting to fly out.

Excluding certain Ghost Tamer with special physical abilities.

In fact, many Ghost Tamer can be sniped; a single shot to the head will kill them, even if they control evil spirits.

Yang Jian was indeed walking out of the villa at that moment.

Zhang Wei's death had alerted him; there must be some dangerous people in this neighborhood, and they were most likely after him.

Open the door.

Step out of the villa.

Having not left the house for several days, the sunlight outside felt a bit too bright and made him slightly dizzy.

"Target confirmed, fire." The observer recognized Yang Jian as he walked out and immediately told the gunman beside him.

The gunman, who had already aimed at the door, did not hesitate at all.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, kicking up a cloud of dust as a specially designed bullet flew out, heading straight for the target's head.

If hit, the head will explode instantly.

Let alone Ghost Tamer, even Jesus would have to kneel.

The next moment.

One of the villa's main doors was shot through, the bullet flying into the house and knocking off a piece of cement from the wall. The golden bullet was deformed and deeply embedded in the wall.

The target has disappeared?

"What happened? Where did the target go?" The observers were stunned for a moment.

Yang Jian, who had just come out of the house, had vanished.

As if in the blink of an eye, the person had vanished into thin air.

"Report, target disappeared, target disappeared." The observer hurriedly spoke into the communicator.

He immediately yelled, "Fuck, retreat immediately! Mission failed!"

But he hadn't finished speaking.

A chilly wind swept up behind me, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees instantly.

Before they could turn around...

A dark shadow loomed over them, as if someone had appeared out of nowhere behind them.

"Are you two looking for me?" Yang Jian was enveloped in a red light, and the Ghost Eye on his forehead was ferocious and eerie.

With his arrival, a sense of death seemed to permeate the surroundings.

"Damn it." The observer broke out in a cold sweat.

He no longer cared why the target had suddenly appeared behind him; all he knew was that this person was extremely dangerous.

He drew his gun, turned around, and did it all in one fluid motion.

His movements were incredibly refined, as if he had undergone countless hours of rigorous training. With such a reaction, even if an enemy pointed a gun at him from behind, he would have a chance to turn the tables and kill them.

But as soon as he turned around, his head fell off his neck.

There was no blood, no wounds; it was like a set of building blocks, with one piece casually removed.

"Trying to kill me? No way." Yang Jian remained standing there, his Ghost Eye observing everything.

"Perhaps you have successfully killed other Ghost Tamer before, but such success will not be achieved by me."

"Run!"

The man scrambled away from Yang Jian as fast as he could.

However, after only a few steps, his body felt like it was falling apart.

Arms and legs lay scattered on the ground, not a single piece intact.

With the power of the vengeful spirit, defeating the two enemies was not difficult.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't intended to shut down the Ghost Domain after using it to save Zhang Wei, Yang Jian believed he would already be dead by now.

His head exploded; even with two ghosts under his control, he couldn't withstand it.

But reality doesn't offer "what ifs".

The reality is that if I survive, everyone else must die.

"Bang! Bang!"

At that moment, two more gunshots rang out.

Two snipers fired a shot each from two high points in the direction of Guangjiang Residential Area.

This is a follow-up shot.

After confirming that the first shot failed, those who had acted earlier would inevitably be attacked by Yang Jian, so it was necessary to follow up with follow-up shots to ensure that the operation would not fail.

But in reality, they have already failed.

At the moment Yang Jian was in the Ghost Domain Realm, ordinary assassination methods were destined to fail.

The bullet pierced Yang Jian's body, exploding into a cloud of dirt on the grass behind him.

But Yang Jian didn't fall to the ground; he disappeared again.

"The first phase of the operation has failed. We are now commencing the second phase of the operation." Kong Feng's expression changed, and he immediately spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"Boss, these Three-Stage Hunt Plan of yours don't look good. The target is a bit strange, he doesn't seem like a human anymore. He's more like a ghost." A member next to him said in a somewhat panicked manner.

"Three-Stage Hunt Plan —it almost scared me to death! But it seems your plan has encountered setbacks. Do you need my help?"

Suddenly, a voice appeared behind them.

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and turned around abruptly.

But then they saw Yang Jian sitting on a roadside bench, propping his head up and looking at them.

Some people instinctively reached for their guns.

"You're surrounded now. If I were you, I'd drop my weapons, put my hands on my head, and beg for mercy. Don't do anything stupid, or someone will die," Yang Jian warned from his chair.

When did he arrive?

A chill ran through everyone.

But Kong Feng understood.

This is the Ghost Domain.

The information states that the Ghost Domain can induce hallucinations, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. Moreover, once Ghost Domain, it is impossible to escape through normal means, making it one of the unsolvable abilities.

"No one's causing trouble? Very well, can you tell me who ordered you to kill me?" Yang Jian continued.

"Bang!"

A quick-draw gunman drew his weapon and fired instantly. Before Yang Jian could finish speaking, a bullet pierced his head.

"Don't shoot!" Kong Feng tried to stop him, but it was too late.

This is fine under normal circumstances, but it's not normal procedure now.

"Boss, don't worry, he's done for." The quick-draw gunman saw Yang Jian's corpse lying on the ground and smiled mockingly, "Stop pretending. I've seen plenty of Ghost Tamer like this. Just because they have some special abilities doesn't mean they're anything special. They're not hard to kill at all."

"You're right. I've seen plenty of armed personnel like you. You think you can look down on other Ghost Tamer just because you've succeeded in a few missions. Little do you know, in my eyes, you're easier to crush than an ant."

Suddenly, a gun appeared out of nowhere and was pressed against the back of the quick-draw gunman's head.

The cold pistol irritated his scalp, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

"Wait, wait a minute." Fear flashed in the gunman's eyes.

Yang Jian, too lazy to listen to his rambling, fired his gun directly.

The body fell heavily to the ground; the quick-draw gunman's head had been split open.

"Implement the second phase of the plan immediately, immediately!" Kong Feng said with a hint of panic, then led his men in an immediate retreat.

The next moment.

The sound of smoke leaking could be heard from all around, and plumes of golden smoke rose from all directions, quickly enveloping the surrounding area.

"Why are there always some idiots who like to risk their lives? Isn't it better to be alive?" Yang Jian glanced at the golden smoke but didn't take it to heart.

This thing contains gold and can reveal unseen ghosts or interfere with certain actions of the Ghost Tamer.

However, before the smoke arrived.

The sky turned red, and the surroundings suddenly darkened, as if it had turned from day to night in an instant.

Kong Feng and his group were all enveloped within the Ghost Domain.

Now that we're here, none of us will leave.

Yang Jian strolled into this world as if walking in a leisurely garden. Within the Ghost Domain, everything was under his control.

At this very moment.

On the roof of a villa.

"The mission failed. Although Kong Feng devised Three-Stage Hunt Plan, and all of them were perfect, unfortunately, they encountered Yang Jian, a Ghost Tamer with Ghost Domain. He cannot be judged by ordinary standards. They will soon be wiped out by Yang Jian within his Ghost Domain. Ye Feng, you must act." Wang Xiaoqiang said to him.

"No problem, but don't forget what you said, you can limit his Ghost Domain." A man in a coat next to him lit a cigarette and said.

"Of course." Wang Xiaoqiang looked at the box in his hands.

"Then we'll see about Yang Jian soon." Ye Feng spat out his cigarette and jumped off the roof.

"Bang!"

He didn't land as perfectly as he'd imagined; he fell flat on his face.

But soon, as if nothing had happened, he shook his head and stood up. "If nothing was wrong, I really shouldn't have climbed so high."

At this very moment, within the Ghost Domain.

Yang Jian held a head in his hand. He was like a demon, ruthlessly reaping lives. He was insane and cruel. In just a few moments, most of the operatives had been eliminated.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't say who ordered it. I can guess more or less. In my opinion, there is only one person who is so eager to kill me, and that is Wang Xiaoqiang, the one whose club I destroyed. Wang Xiaoqiang must hate me to the core, but it doesn't matter. He will die from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost sooner or later. He won't be able to keep jumping around for long."

He carelessly tossed the head he was holding aside.

His head rolled to the ground with a thud; it was none other than the captain named Kong Feng from before.

At that moment, Daisy, like the other team members, frantically fled for her life.

She was panting, her face filled with fear.

This mission should never have been taken. This person is a devil in human skin; anyone facing him would feel despair.

The captain is dead, and most of the others are dead too.

Daisy felt that her survival was only temporary; it was just that the devil hadn't set his sights on her yet.

"Beautiful foreign woman with big breasts, can you please stop running? Your swaying back and forth is giving me a headache." Just when she thought she had run far enough, a person suddenly appeared in front of her.

The moment Daisy saw Yang Jian, she knew she was doomed.

"For the sake of your beautiful head, I'll let you commit suicide. It would be such a waste if I took it off." Although Yang Jian had a smile on his lips, his eyes were cold and indifferent.

"If you let me go, maybe I can sleep with you," Daisy said immediately.

Yang Jian, "That's a real pity. I thought you would choose a smarter way to end your sinful life."

"Bang!"

Daisy suddenly fired a shot at Yang Jian.

"I told you, ambushes are useless. You can't even find where I am, so how are you going to carry out that so-called Three-Stage Hunt Plan?" Yang Jian smiled mockingly and appeared behind her.

A pistol was pressed against her back, near her heart.

"As a courtesy to a beautiful woman, we'll give you a complete corpse. This is a custom among Asians, so you're just doing as the Romans do."

A gunshot rang out.

Yang Jian turned and left, while Daisy collapsed to the ground, her body limp, blood gushing out, her eyes wide open, staring ahead.

She couldn't believe she had died so easily.

He died at the hands of a Xiao Mao who wasn't even twenty years old.

However, at this very moment...

Wang Xiaoqiang walked to the spot where the ghost had appeared, then opened the briefcase, took out the withered finger, and stabbed it into the ground.

The jet-black fingernails sank into the ground.

Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The Ghost Domain that had vanished from everyone's sight was revealed.

The surrounding red light enveloped an area of about thirty meters, with Yang Jian in the center. In other areas, there were two other stray fish that had escaped the net and were wandering around like headless flies.

"Um?"

Yang Jian abruptly stopped and turned to look in the direction from which the commotion had come.

He saw Wang Xiaoqiang looking at him with a cold expression, and at the same time, he saw the strange finger at his feet.

That finger seemed to be able to directly restrict the Ghost Domain.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't say anything, but immediately grabbed the finger on the ground and started backing away.

This finger was like a nail, pinning down the Ghost Domain. With each backward step, the Ghost Domain was pulled towards it.

It's like a stretched-out red thread.

As the distance increases, the area of Yang Jian Ghost Domain shrinks rapidly.

"Court death."

Yang Jian's gaze turned cold, and he immediately appeared in front of Wang Xiaoqiang. No matter what he planned to do, he would deal with this guy first.

"Friend, don't be in such a hurry to make a move," a man in a trench coat said, reaching out to stop him.

He wore a somewhat arrogant smile, seemingly not taking Yang Jian seriously.

"Help?" Yang Jian's expression changed slightly.

He wasn't surprised; on the contrary, it was within his expectations.

Wang Xiaoqiang had fought him before and found him to be no match for him. If he came looking for help without any backup, he would be committing suicide.

"You must be Ye Feng," Yang Jian, sizing up the man.

I had already received information about him from Wang Yue.

A very special existence in Xiaoqiang Club, the only Ghost Tamer has controlled two ghosts.

Two chapters combined

I recommend a great lighthearted and humorous slice-of-life novel, "The Stay-at-Home Dad's Otherworldly Restaurant" by Qingyu Jianghu. It's a heartwarming story about a foodie dad promoting Chinese cuisine in another world and raising a little girl. The cooking content isn't just the usual cliché of adding medicine and showing its effects; it's packed with practical information, reminding me of the meals in the Emiya family.
