Taking Custody

"Is this Zhou Zheng?"

Zhao Jianguo was shocked when he saw the corpse being carried out of the guardhouse by other Ghost Tamer.

"They just look the same; their ghost identities aren't important," Yang Jian.

"That's true." Zhao Jianguo quickly regained his composure.

Looking at the rusty coffin nails on the corpse's head, judging from the previous communication records, this was something crucial in restraining the vengeful ghost.

Without it, we couldn't deal with this starving ghost at all.

"I haven't touched the body, nor do I want to. I'm handing it over to you today in the hope that no one will touch it in the future."

Yang Jian stood up and said calmly, "This thing is far more terrifying than you can imagine. Don't try to do anything to it under the guise of research. The best outcome is to seal it in the box forever."

"I've also spoken to Wang Xiaoming about it. I have no objection to him researching other ghosts, but this is something he can't handle. Once it escapes again, I'm afraid no one in the world will be able to solve this thing. It's extremely complex; it's a composite of various vengeful ghosts. Experience in dealing with other vengeful ghosts is useless against it."

"Moreover, it has many terrifying aspects that it hasn't yet revealed. I managed to restrain it by a trick. If possible, I hope I never have to encounter this monster again."

Without the special existence of coffin nails, any Ghost Tamer would be lucky to protect themselves in front of this ghost, let alone deal with it.

"Yang Jian, don't worry, leave the rest to us. Besides, with us here, even if this thing really wakes up, we can handle it," said one of the Ghost Tamer.

Yang Jian's eyes flickered as he looked at the man. "Just from what you said, I know you know absolutely nothing. If this thing really wakes up, you're all going to die."

"Yang Jian, although we know this thing is difficult to deal with, it's not as insurmountable as you claim. We admire your efforts this time, but that doesn't mean you can belittle us. To be honest, any one of us is a top-tier Ghost Tamer in the country. With teamwork, resolving an S-class terrorist incident isn't difficult," the man said in a deep voice.

"You can't even get into Dachang City, yet you call yourself one of the best?" Yang Jian said coldly, "I think you're just bragging about being one of the best."

The man immediately became somewhat displeased and said, "Putting everything else aside, we are, after all, seniors. We've put aside our own affairs to come and support you, a newcomer. Can't you at least show me some respect?"

"I'm just reminding you to understand the seriousness of the matter. This is different from the small-scale tinkering you've done before. I've done everything I could, and I don't want any problems to arise when I take over. If you're still approaching this with the same attitude you had when solving paranormal cases, then you're being too naive."

Yang Jian calmly said, "The fact that the entire city is shrouded in gloom has cut off all support from Ghost Tamer. Think about what that means. If this vengeful ghost is released, it will be enough to refresh the current vengeful ghost rankings and replace that Ghost Call. And you actually think that it won't be difficult to solve this incident if we join forces."

"If I had Professor Wang to devise a plan, study the patterns, and add that coffin nail, this matter wouldn't be difficult at all. I'm not exaggerating," the Ghost Tamer said. "I do have that much confidence."

Yang Jian smiled lightly, deciding not to argue with this person.

Professor Wang's plan was developed entirely through risking human lives; the first wave of contact nearly resulted in total annihilation. Now that all the mysteries have been unraveled, it naturally seems easy.

This is probably what people who offer hindsight advice are referring to.

"Luckily you're not in Dachang City," Yang Jian said before turning and leaving.

"Yang Jian, where are you going? There are still many things that need your assistance," Zhao Jianguo said hurriedly.

Yang Jian, "There's nothing I can help with. If you need anything, go find Wang Xiaoming. I'm going to sleep."

"Then you should get some rest. You've worked hard this time."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Jianguo realized that Yang Jian had been working tirelessly on the Starvation Ghost Incident, so he didn't say anything more.

Yang Jian didn't reply to him and quickly walked away from No. 7 Middle School.

"Captain Zhao, has this Ghost Eye Yang Jian always been this arrogant?"

Guo Fan, the Ghost Tamer had just spoken, frowned slightly. "Completely disobedient and unruly, such a person becoming Ghost Tamer in charge of Dachang City will be a hidden danger sooner or later."

"That's enough, shut up."

Zhao Jianguo rebuked, "Yang Jian is right. This incident is not so simple. This is not an ordinary supernatural event. If it were so easy to resolve, it would have been resolved long ago and wouldn't have dragged on until now. I know much more than you do. There are some secrets that cannot be revealed. You should be aware of this. Moreover, whether Yang Jian will become a hidden danger is not something you can judge."

"I know some of you feel that Yang Jian single-handedly solved this paranormal incident, making him famous worldwide, and you are unhappy about it, but you can't show it."

"Is the body ready?"

After saying that, he changed the subject and spoke again.

"Team Leader Zhao, the body has been prepared. The detention process went smoothly without any unexpected incidents. It seems Yang Jian has kept this ghost under tight control," said another Ghost Tamer.

Zhao Jianguo glanced at it and saw that the corpse had been wrapped in gold foil like a mummy, and was also bound with gold rope and tied in a tight knot before finally being put into a gold box.

The box was so thick that bullets couldn't penetrate it; there was absolutely no way to escape from inside.

"Very good. Weld this box shut and escort it back. Be extremely careful en route. Some foreign forces have infiltrated the vicinity of Dachang City recently. Some of these forces have malicious intentions and are hoping we can't resolve this Starvation Ghost Incident, so we must be on guard," Zhao Jianguo instructed again.

"The rest of you will come with me to inspect Dachang City. The minister is waiting for our security report."

Yang Jian's reason for rushing back was certainly not to sleep.

Instead, he was worried that Wang Xiaoming had taken away his ghost mirror while he was away from home, since Wang Xiaoming had seen the ghost mirror before.

Of course, Zhang Wei and Zhang Xiangui had also met him.

They were just ordinary people who would avoid such things like the plague, so they wouldn't know the value of the ghost mirror. But with Wang Xiaoming's intelligence, he must understand the value of the ghost mirror. If he stole it and ran away, it would be a hassle to get it back. After all, this guy dared to tamper with the files of supernatural events and conceal all the key information for a ghost coffin.

"Although the Ghost Mirror is useless to me now, it still has the ability to resurrect others, which is crucial. Moreover, there are other deeper aspects that haven't been uncovered yet. There must have been other intentions behind the fact that someone from a hundred years ago deliberately placed this thing in that room."

While Yang Jian was pondering, he directly used his Ghost Domain to return to the residential area.

The lights in the residential area were already on by this time, the generator was roaring incessantly, several bomb disposal vehicles were parked here, and special personnel were on guard around the area.

Yang Jian saw Wang Xiaoming being taken out of the safe house.

He looked haggard and his face was pale; it seemed he had been having a very difficult time these past few days.

"Yang Jian, you did a great job this time. On behalf of Professor Wang and the citizens of Dachang City, I thank you. Without you, this situation would have spiraled out of control."

At this moment, Li Jun, the resolute special forces captain, was the first to notice Yang Jian's sudden appearance. He immediately walked over and said respectfully.

"No need to be so polite," Yang Jian.

"Yang Jian, thank goodness! You're alive! I was so worried about you!" Jiang Yan saw him at that moment and ran over with great joy.

Yang Jian, "Don't come near me, why do you smell so strongly of feces?"

Jiang Yan stopped awkwardly in her tracks. "It's that Zhang Wei again. He had diarrhea and sprayed feces in the safe house. It was disgusting; the whole house smelled terrible."

"Then how did he wipe his butt?" Yang Jian thought of the human skin paper.

I hope he didn't use it.

"How would I know?" Jiang Yan said.

Yang Jian, "I'll go ask him. You go back and wash up. Dachang City is safe now, and there won't be any supernatural events for a while."

The Starvation Ghost Incident caused such a huge uproar, and although the consequences were severe, it also had one advantage.

That means other supernatural events were also resolved by this starving ghost without anyone noticing.
