Operator

After Yang Jian left.

The remaining people finally reacted.

"Right, Yang Jian saved us, and we haven't even thanked him. Isn't that a bit rude?" Miao Xiaoshan said.

Zhao Lei said, "How about we find an opportunity to treat Yang Jian to a meal in a couple of days?"

"Grill some skewers?"

Zhang Wei chuckled from the side, "Grill some skewers? You guys actually have the nerve to say that. I'm going to treat him to a feast at a fancy hotel, then take him to a KTV, and even get him a full-body massage. Later, I'll find a chance to talk to my dad and see if he can buy him a house near our place. I heard his family is still renting, and their conditions aren't great. Anyway, I'm sticking to this golden thigh, and no one's taking him from me. Especially you, Miao Xiaoshan, I heard you and Yang Jian were junior high classmates."

He then looked Miao Xiaoshan up and down. "Don't you dare seduce him."

"Zhang Wei, what are you talking about?" Miao Xiaoshan's face flushed, and she retorted.

"You're exaggerating too much," Zhao Lei exclaimed in shock.

Zhang Wei sneered, "Exaggerating? I wish I could sleep with him every night."

"..." A shiver ran down the spines of the others, and they instinctively took a few steps back from Zhang Wei.

The other girls also looked at Zhang Wei with surprise and uncertainty.

Everyone knew Zhang Wei was excellent, but this was just too much.

"What? You don't believe me? Then I'll ask you, would you rather encounter a ghost, or would you rather sleep with Yang Jian every day?" Zhang Wei asked.

Everyone recalled the situation last night, and fear reappeared on their faces.

Zhao Lei hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Sleeping together sounds better."

For some reason, faced with these two choices, their hearts involuntarily chose the former. Even the girls blushed, thinking of the words Wang Shanshan had said about offering herself to Yang Jian after he saved her.

Indeed, having Yang Jian around gave them a great sense of security.

Zhang Wei said somewhat seriously, "That Zhou Zheng said that supernatural events like this will continue to happen in the future. It's gradually evolving into a global catastrophe. This means that today, we encountered a ghost and survived, but what about the future? We ordinary people can't deal with ghosts. Only people like Zhou Zheng can deal with them, and Yang Jian has probably become one of them."

"We should be fortunate that we know Yang Jian. In the future, he'll be the only one who can save our lives."

He stopped speaking at this point.

Zhang Wei understood very well Yang Jian's special status and importance at this moment.

What happened last night was an unimaginably terrifying nightmare, something he never wanted to experience again. If he were a girl, he would probably already be clinging to Yang Jian.

Wang Shanshan had done a good job in this regard.

He glanced in the direction of the bus stop.

Wang Shanshan had indeed clung to Yang Jian, asking him to take her home.

At this moment.

On the bus.

Yang Jian sat on the chair, utterly exhausted, looking out the window at the familiar streets, the familiar crowds, the familiar hustle and bustle.

Although it was noisy, it was reassuring.

At least there were no more ghosts.

Wang Shanshan had truly latched onto Yang Jian. If their relationship wasn't already at that level, she probably would have wanted to move into Yang Jian's place. However, she still pleaded with Yang Jian to take her home.

"Yang Jian, will things like this happen again in the future?"

Wang Shanshan hugged Yang Jian's arm, unwilling to let go, and after a long while, she finally asked this question.

"I don't know, but it's highly likely to happen again. It just depends on our luck. If we're lucky, we probably won't encounter it again. After all, the Earth is so big. Even if supernatural events occur, the probability of them happening in each city or neighborhood should be relatively small. This isn't like large-scale natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods."

Yang Jian turned his head to look at her and said.

Of course, these were just words to comfort her. He would only know the truth later.

Then.

He suddenly noticed that when Wang Shanshan turned her head, the two dark blue baby handprints on the back of her neck were still there, like a tattoo, not fading at all.

"It's not a bruise from the ghost infant's grasp. It looks like a brand."

His heart tightened slightly. He didn't know whether to warn her or not.

But considering Wang Shanshan's almost broken mental state, Yang Jian decided not to say anything.

The scariest thing for a person is to scare themselves. Perhaps it was just a scar, and nothing would happen.

"Be careful lately. If you run into any trouble, you can call me," Yang Jian still kindly reminded her.

"Th-thank you," Wang Shanshan looked up, touched.

"Ring ring, ring ring."

Suddenly, at this moment, a phone on Yang Jian's body rang.

"Ah~!"

Wang Shanshan next to him immediately turned pale with fright and instinctively screamed.

Yang Jian said, "Don't worry, it's probably just a normal phone call."

He rummaged through a pile of phones.

Finally, he found a flip phone.

It was the satellite positioning phone standard issue for ghost wielder Zhou Zheng.

This phone couldn't access the internet, only make calls, and was as heavy as a brick. He really didn't know why such a phone would be issued.

After a moment's thought, Yang Jian connected the call.

"Hello, Zhou Zheng, report the situation." A female operator's voice came from the other end of the line.

Yang Jian said, "Zhou Zheng is dead."

"Dead? How did he die?"

Yang Jian said, "He died giving birth."

"Giving birth?" The person on the other end of the line clearly paused.

"Yes, giving birth. It was a C-section, but there wasn't time to cut. The baby couldn't wait, so it tore its way out of his stomach. I saw it with my own eyes. But that baby wasn't very well-behaved. Maybe it was angry I didn't help with the delivery, because it bit me right after it was born. It almost ate me." Yang Jian said.

The operator on the other end, Liu Xiaoyu, was about to lose it. She said, "Nonsense, who are you? How did Zhou Zheng's satellite positioning phone end up with you? Do you know you're interfering with a special case? I am Zhou Zheng's exclusive operator, Liu Xiaoyu. I have the right to demand you report Zhou Zheng's situation truthfully."

Yang Jian said, "I already told you, Zhou Zheng is dead. If you want to know the real situation, why don't you send someone to investigate? Do you want me to say Zhou Zheng died from a vengeful ghost's revival and cause panic on the entire bus? Did you do reading comprehension in elementary school? Do you know what the main idea is? Your comprehension skills make me doubt if you're a qualified operator."

"I refuse to talk to you right now. Get an experienced person to take the call."

At this moment.

Ghost Wielder Headquarters, Asian Division.

In the relevant department.

Operator Liu Xiaoyu, dressed in uniform, gritted her teeth in anger. She sharpened her 2B pencil to a fine point and violently scratched it across the paper next to her, wanting to stab the arrogant, presumptuous brat on the other end.

"Don't get angry, don't get angry. Compared to the life-and-death struggles of frontline personnel, this anger of mine is nothing."

Liu Xiaoyu took several deep breaths and resumed her professional demeanor. "Sir, please cooperate with our investigation."

"Heh heh." The other party refused to speak and replied with a "heh heh."

"Sir, please cooperate."

"Heh heh."

"Sir, I know you must know something. If you can't say it now because you're in a public place, I can give you five minutes to handle it and find a quiet place to truthfully report Zhou Zheng's situation." Liu Xiaoyu said.

"Heh heh."

"What the hell is 'heh heh'?"

Liu Xiaoyu was about to explode internally. She gritted her teeth, forcing herself to calm down. "Sir, since it's inconvenient for you to speak, could you please tell me your name? We will send relevant personnel to collect evidence later."

"You want to investigate me? I'm not afraid to tell you. I don't change my name or surname. My surname is Zhang, my given name is Wei. I am Zhang Wei. Come if you dare. If you don't, you're a turtle's egg." Yang Jian said.

"Fine, you just wait for me."

Liu Xiaoyu completely lost her composure, disregarding her usual rules and regulations, and shouted back.
