The Brat
"I'm not targeting any one of you, I'm saying that everyone here is trash."
Someone in the meeting room slammed their hand on the table and stood up, saying...
The one who spoke was also a Ghost Tamer, but he was very young, only a little over ten years old, seemingly still a primary school student, yet his face displayed an arrogant look that disdained all living beings.
Most of the twenty or thirty people present were top-tier Ghost Tamer, but they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit when facing this little brat.
This child is named Xiong Wenwen, codenamed "Spirit Child." His abilities are almost unparalleled; it is said that he can foresee everything that will happen in the future through the ghost inside his body.
Of course, this ability is not very useful for ordinary people, but when faced with paranormal events, it can help predict the movements of evil spirits, perfectly resolve any crisis, and greatly increase the chances of survival.
If this supernatural event in Dachang City hadn't been so unusual, preventing reinforcements from entering the city, this kid's abilities, along with the cooperation of other Ghost Tamer, might have been enough to resolve the situation.
Not wanting to offend this guy, and thinking it best not to stoop to the level of a brat, the others could only keep quiet.
No one can guarantee that they won't need this brat's help in the future.
"Xiong Wenwen, say less. The meeting is about to start. Can't you tone down your attitude a bit?" Tong Qian kindly reminded her at this moment.
Xiong Wenwen turned around and cursed, "Shut up, you piece of trash! What good are you adults? You've been in Dachang City for so long and you can't even get through the gate. You're all stuck outside. Aren't you ashamed? I'm ashamed. Sitting with you weaklings is an insult to me."
"Xiong Wenwen, this isn't your home. Nobody's going to indulge you. Even if you're just a child, this is enough." Another Ghost Tamer said in a deep voice.
This brat's personality is really disgusting.
Do you know?
Xiong Wenwen tapped the table. "An adult used to talk to me like that, but he died later."
The man sneered, "There was a brat before who didn't know his place and talked nonsense all the time. Later, he became lame."
"."
The others were speechless. Xiong Wenwen was acting strangely, but they hadn't expected Cao Yang to be so equally assertive and to start arguing back.
However, others didn't get involved and simply became bystanders.
Say it again.
Xiong Wenwen, being a child, couldn't handle the provocation and immediately bristled, jumping onto the table. "Believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"If you can do it, then give it a try. I heard you can foresee the future, so you can predict whether I'll beat you to death, or you'll tear my mouth apart," Cao Yang laughed.
"Xiong Wenwen, don't do anything reckless, this is meeting time." Someone immediately spoke up to stop her.
"Shut up, all I want today is to kill him, or be killed by him."
Xiong Wenwen shouted, his face quickly turning ashen. The man who was perfectly fine just moments before suddenly became lifeless, emanating a cold and eerie aura, as if a ghost was gradually awakening.
"Hiss~!"
The lights in the conference room were suddenly dimmed by some inexplicable force, and a strange feeling arose in everyone's heart.
It felt as if something unseen was watching me.
Cao Yang remained silent with a cold laugh. If this brat hadn't been protected by people sent from above, he would have been dead long ago. This ability to foresee the future was terrifying, but it was a pity that it fell into the hands of a brainless child. If it had fallen into the hands of someone with high intelligence like Professor Wang, the effect would probably be a hundred or a thousand times greater.
"Xiong Wenwen is courting death. He doesn't understand his own significance at all. This ability should never be used casually. Don't be fooled by how he's being protected like a treasure now. Once he's close to the recovery stage, Headquarters will definitely take forceful control of the ghost inside him. They absolutely cannot allow a ghost that can foresee the future to run rampant outside."
"Kids are just kids; they can't navigate the adult world."
"Cao Yang's actions in harming this child are not the right thing to do. We still need to give Headquarters face. There's no need to escalate the argument to this extent over a few words."
Everyone else watched in silence.
Those who are able to attend this meeting are all extraordinary individuals; they can see through the pros and cons at a glance, but they simply choose not to point it out.
However, the next moment, Xiong Wenwen suddenly screamed and slumped onto the conference table. She looked at the door in great terror, as if she had seen a ghost, and then burst into tears, as if she had been terrified. She kept backing away, as if trying to hide from what was behind the door.
"Um?"
Cao Yang's expression hardened. He could tell from Xiong Wenwen's expression that this guy had seen something terrifying coming in from outside the door after foreseeing the future.
Is it a ghost?
He wasn't the only one with this idea; other Ghost Tamer also looked towards the gate.
After all, arguments are one thing, but when it comes to paranormal events, we must stand together.
"Xiong Wenwen, what did you see?" Ghost Tamer, protecting him, led him away from the gate.
But he didn't speak; he just shrank back, seeking protection.
"Thump, thump thump~!"
However, the next moment, clear footsteps came from outside the door, as if something was rapidly approaching.
The others in the conference room immediately stood up, warily looking towards the door.
"Be careful. We're in Dachang City, where S-class paranormal event occurred. Although the Starvation Ghost Incident is over, some unknown horrors may have been awakened. Zhao Jianguo warned us earlier that a major event might happen here, and told us to stay here for a while to observe the situation."
"What kind of future did this brat see that terrified him like this?"
"Playing the wrong game at crucial moments and teaming up with unruly kids will inevitably lead to disaster."
Just as they were on guard.
The next moment, the door opened.
Then a young man walked in from outside.
"Huh? Aren't we in a meeting? What happened? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Yang Jian looked around suspiciously, sensing that something was off about the atmosphere in the conference room.
"."
Everyone else looked at him with strange expressions.
"Damn it, if you have a meeting, you should come in earlier. Why did you have to choose this time? People who don't know any better might think there's a ghost outside," someone said.
"A ghost? Where would a ghost come from?" Yang Jian turned around and glanced back. "There's nothing there."
No
Why was Xiong Wenwen so frightened just now?
Some people find it strange.
But Cao Yang narrowed his eyes, realizing something.
"No, that's not right. Xiong Wenwen is afraid of this guy, but just now, Xiong Wenwen and I didn't continue arguing, so things didn't escalate and he didn't intervene. If everything had continued as it did a minute ago, he would definitely have intervened after coming in, and the result probably wouldn't have been good."
To be so terrified by simply knowing the future shows just how dangerous this person is.
"You're Ghost Eye Yang Jian?" he suddenly asked.
Only Ghost Eye Yang Jian from Dachang City, could walk into the conference room so brazenly.
"Yes, that's me. What, don't you all recognize me? Shouldn't the person in charge have the right to view other people's files?" Yang Jian asked.
Is this person Yang Jian?
Everyone looked him over again.
He had an ordinary appearance, nothing special about him, just like a student who was studying.
"I think I heard you guys arguing just now, and someone even slammed their fist on the table saying everyone was trash. I wonder which guy was so brave as to disregard everyone else?" Yang Jian asked.
The others remained silent.
Yang Jian added, "Arguing is fine, but please don't start a fight. This is Dachang City, my territory. I hope everyone here will give me some face."
"Hey, why are there children here? Who brought their relatives in? They must have some powerful connections."
Suddenly, he saw Xiong Wenwen not far away.
A boy of about ten years old looked at him with some fear, feeling very scared and uneasy.
"He is also Ghost Tamer, a very special talent. He possesses the ability to foresee the future and was specially transferred from J City by Headquarters."
At this moment, Zhao Jianguo spoke up.
But then he, Wang Xiaoming, Li Jun, and Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua entered the conference room.
"Predicting the future?" Yang Jian's expression shifted.
Hearing those four words made me realize the value of this little brat.
"But this ability isn't very good, otherwise, how come he didn't foresee the S-class paranormal event that broke out in Dachang City?" He then pointed out the flaws in this ability.
Wang Xiaoming added, "Your guess is correct. He can only foresee things happening around him. You've encountered similar abilities before, so you should know that."
He was referring to the ability of the Hungry Ghost to restart time, a special ability that has certain limitations.
"To be able to do that is quite impressive," Yang Jian.
Having someone like that in the team will greatly increase the chances of survival when dealing with paranormal events.
Sure enough, the Ghost Tamer Headquarters has quite a few talented people. If this child were paired with a few outstanding Ghost Tamer, his efficiency in solving paranormal events would probably be quite high.
"Please take your seats, everyone. I am Cao Yanhua, the Deputy Minister, and I am responsible for convening this meeting. The main purpose of this meeting is to summarize the relevant experiences from this ' Starvation Ghost Incident and make corresponding preparations for facing similar incidents in the future." At this moment, Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua stood in front of the conference table and looked at everyone.
"We are honored to have Professor Wang Xiaoming and our great hero, Ghost Eye Yang Jian, to give a report on the operation of this incident. Let's give them a round of applause."
