Nightfall

Because of the possibility of a large-scale supernatural event occurring in Dachang City, Yang Jian had to temporarily abandon his actions against Ye Feng.

Even the conflict with Zhao Kaiming was forced to stop.

In fact, it wasn't just him; Zhao Kaiming thought the same way. It was indeed foolish to fight each other in the face of such a special event.

God knows if these people will survive this paranormal event.

If you can't survive, then all the fighting is meaningless.

"Let's go to Captain Liu's place first." Yang Jian drove straight into the city.

The sky had already darkened, and with evening approaching, even with all the streetlights on, a gloomy atmosphere still enveloped the entire city. This atmosphere was cold, thick, and carried an eerie, unsettling quality.

I can't even imagine what Dachang City will look like after nightfall.

Back then, would ghosts come out at night?

Yang Jian frowned deeply. In fact, he had long known that staying in a big city was not a good choice. The chances of supernatural events being triggered in densely populated areas were too high. He had already moved away from the city center as quickly as possible, but he never expected that a special event of this scale would occur.

"If that area is covered, is Guangjiang Residential Area also included? Is it some kind of Ghost Domain? Or something else? Liu Xiaoyu said that Dachang City has been sealed off, with a certain place outside the city as the boundary, making it impossible to freely enter or leave."

"If a ghost can do this, its level must have exceeded the A-level disaster level. But if there really is a ghost of this level in Dachang City, it's impossible that we didn't notice it before."

Neither the still-existing Xiaoqiang Club nor Zhou Zheng himself had ever heard of such a report.

Yang Jian wasn't too afraid of vengeful ghosts; he was more worried about the unknown fear.

In the absence of information, the only way to understand a ghost is to risk your life.

This is extremely dangerous.

"However, this feeling seems somewhat familiar; it's as if I've encountered it before." Yang Jian looked at the dark blue haze covering the sky, and the image of the Ghost Infant surfaced in his mind.

Zhou Zheng died from the Ghost Infant released by the resurrected vengeful spirit.

The last time I saw the Ghost Infant was in an office building in the city center.

At that point, it could no longer be called Ghost Infant; it should be called a ghost person.

Because in just about a month, that thing had grown from an infant into a child, and then into an adult.

It is growing up in an almost supernatural way.

"It shouldn't be that Ghost Infant. If we were to define its danger level, it would probably only be C-class. It kills people one by one, which is too slow. However, since the last time we met, that Ghost Infant has indeed grown to the point where it can use the Ghost Domain." Yang Jian continued to ponder.

"However, the Ghost Domain is very small, barely enough to cover the area of an office building, and it cannot even completely seal off the Ghost Domain. Ordinary people can freely enter and exit."

"Wait, why do I think that Ghost Infant also has Ghost Domain?"

Recalling the last paranormal incident in a downtown office building, a group of office workers encountered Ghost Infant and were forced to jump from more than ten floors.

If that really was Ghost Domain, those people would never have had the chance to jump off the building.

So, that's not Ghost Domain.

It is at least not the same type of entity as the Ghost Domain controlled by Yang Jian.

"My intuition tells me that this incident is extraordinary. If we don't prepare in advance or find a way to eliminate the source, the consequences could be extremely serious." Yang Jian looked at the gradually darkening sky, his unease growing stronger.

The car stopped.

He arrived at the place where Captain Liu was.

"Yang Jian, you've arrived now? We've already made arrangements here. You can use those weapons, but you have a responsibility to supervise them and absolutely prevent them from falling into the hands of criminals again." Liu Xiaoyu's voice came through the satellite-guided phone.

"When will your reinforcements arrive? There aren't many Ghost Tamer in Dachang City. I estimate there are less than ten left. Without sufficient intelligence support, if we encounter an unsolvable supernatural event, the chances of them all being wiped out are very high. Even if Zhao Kaiming and I try our best to protect Wang Xiaoming, it will be difficult to save him."

Yang Jian exaggerated the situation to try and swindle some support.

"We're already taking action here; in fact, we're even more anxious than you are," Liu Xiaoyu said.

"Since you're free anyway, why don't you help me organize everything and give me a complete list of all the paranormal files you currently have in Dachang City? I'm worried that this paranormal incident might have a ripple effect, causing other possible paranormal events to erupt. If that happens, the situation will be worse than we imagine."

Ghosts generally don't fight each other, but they can disrupt a certain balance and trigger potential paranormal events.

Therefore, this point should also be considered.

"You're right, your idea reminded me. I'll report this matter immediately, and I'll give you a file on all paranormal events in Dachang City within three hours," Liu Xiaoyu said immediately.

Yang Jian had just entered when he saw Captain Liu and several colleagues already waiting there.

"Yang Ghost Tamer." Captain Liu saluted.

"Hello, Captain Liu." Yang Jian shook hands. "You've already been notified, right? What about the weapons left behind by those criminals who tried to assassinate me last time?"

"They're all here, nothing's missing." Captain Liu pointed to a temporary table set up next to them.

Several strong, well-equipped men with guns stood guard around the table to ensure absolute safety.

"There are a total of twenty-five pistols, three sniper rifles, and a quantity of special ammunition," Captain Liu read from a list.

"If Yang Jian needs weapon support, he can get more support by asking his superiors."

Yang Jian, "Ordinary weapons are useless, they're not even as good as a brick. This is a specially made weapon, so it's barely usable."

Although it can't kill ghosts, it can still play a role to some extent, such as probing from a distance, dealing with Ghost Slave, or deterring those who don't obey orders.

Buying these things yourself would be too expensive; who knows how many middlemen they'd gone through. With these captured weapons, we won't have to worry about them for quite some time.

"I don't need too much of this stuff. Leave some equipment for Captain Liu and the others; it might come in handy sometimes. I'll take the rest. As for bullets, if you have any of the same type, give me a few more. Ordinary ones are fine too. I should take some time to practice before a real battle."

Yang Jian's marksmanship is such that he can hit the target within five meters, within ten meters it depends on luck, and beyond ten meters, you might not believe it, but he can aim at someone's head and blow their bird to pieces.

"I need to ask my superiors; I can only issue you ammunition if they approve it," Captain Liu said.

Yang Jian, "Of course."

During such a special period, such a request would naturally be approved, and the higher-ups quickly agreed. Of course, there was a prerequisite: Yang Jian had to take responsibility and the matter could not fall into the hands of others.

After retrieving the weapons, Yang Jian prepared to leave. "Captain Liu," he said, "The situation in Dachang City these past few days is probably more serious than we imagined. Although you're working very hard on the front lines, I still hope you can be careful. In some situations, it's best to prioritize your own safety."

"Saving lives is a duty that we should always do, but we must also act within our capabilities."

Captain Liu paused for a moment and then said, "Thank you for reminding me, but there's something else I should tell you."

"What's up?"

Captain Liu asked, "Is Xiao Zhang dead?"

Xiao Zhang?

Yang Jian looked somewhat puzzled.

"It's Zhang Yuan, the one who was locked in the mirror last time."

Team Leader Liu pointed to a piece of decorative material that had been removed from the wall and said, "Because we were worried about it having too much of an impact, that thing has been sent away and specially disposed of."

Yang Jian then remembered that when he was here last time, someone had indeed been locked inside a glowing mirror. "I'm sorry, although I've temporarily resolved that incident, I can't rescue the person."

He wasn't lying; it was the truth.

Since Zhang Wei had already died once, the ghost had disappeared, so naturally there was no chance for him to enter the mirror again.

"Zhang Yuan died of thirst inside a mirror. He died in great pain and helplessness. I witnessed it with my own eyes. I didn't even dare to tell his mother about this. You know, just yesterday, his elderly mother was sitting on the steps at the door, crying and calling out for her son. Although the report said Zhang Yuan was missing, his mother had already guessed that Zhang Yuan had sacrificed himself."

Captain Liu said, "At the time, I didn't know how to comfort his mother, and I didn't even dare to tell her the truth."

"I understand that the chances of dying if you get caught up in this kind of event are very high, but you are Ghost Tamer and have the ability to resolve this kind of thing. I'm not asking you to do anything, because I also know very well that you are risking your lives to deal with those ghostly things, but I still can't help but say something."

"From now on, I'm counting on you. Don't let our sacrifices go to waste."

Captain Liu said this very solemnly and sincerely.

Yang Jian did not answer. Out of respect, he saluted Captain Liu and left without looking back.

He didn't have the courage to take on that responsibility.

Because he's not that great; everything he's done so far has simply been to survive, and to survive better.

These global paranormal events cannot be changed by one person.

Just like when an earthquake or flood comes, it is irreversible by human power, and sacrifice, death, and pain are inevitable.

After we left, it got even darker outside.

The surroundings were as if shrouded in a thick fog, enveloped by a dark bluish-black aura—thick, viscous, and impossible to dispel.

However, this darkness does not significantly affect visibility. Looking ahead, you can still see things clearly, just very blurry, much like someone suddenly becoming nearsighted.

I looked up at the sky.

Like dark clouds looming over the city, it made one feel almost suffocated.

The shops along the sidewalk emitted a dim, gray light in the gloomy world, making them appear incredibly eerie and sinister.

The once bustling, brightly lit city suddenly seemed to have transformed into a ghost town.

Perhaps somewhere in this city, some unknown supernatural event is unfolding.
