The Dispersal

Although he felt some sympathy for Xiong Wenwen's situation as a single-parent family, he was not prepared to suddenly have a ten-year-old son.

This offer can only be rejected.

As for whether his mother was pretty or not, Yang Jian had no idea. His own situation was rather bad, so why would he be interested in going on blind dates?

"You want to arrange a blind date for your mother, which is a good intention, but you should know that people like us are not suitable for marriage. We might die in some supernatural event at any time, and even if we don't die in an event, we won't live long. The problem of the resurgence of vengeful ghosts has never been solved, so it's better to let your mother find an ordinary person to marry."

Yang Jian told Xiong Wenwen the truth.

Let alone the fact that most Ghost Tamer have physical or mental problems, even if they don't, getting married and having children only adds to their sorrow.

Yan Li, Zhao Kaiming, Zhang Han, and other Ghost Tamer with families do not have an easy life.

Even Yang Jian himself was forced into a corner by the desire to earn money to support his mother in her old age. If he hadn't survived the Huanggang Village incident and delayed the resurgence of the vengeful spirit, he would have met the same fate as everyone else.

"You're so powerful, you're unlikely to die. Ordinary people are all useless; when they encounter supernatural events, all they can do is run and scream. They wouldn't survive more than three seconds," Xiong Wenwen said. "My mom wants to marry the strongest person."

"Xiong Wenwen, I completely agree with what you said. I increasingly feel that I am the strongest father you've been looking for, so... be my son." Cao Yang walked over and said, "Your mother is a second-time bride, I really don't mind."

"You piece of trash, you're destined to be cannon fodder."

Xiong Wenwen gave him the middle finger without any mercy. "A dead man trying to get married? Go home, get a coffin, and lie down."

Cao Yang laughed and said, "Are you sure Yang Jian can live a long life? He's now known in the industry as 'Ghost Eye Yang Jian,' so his responsibilities won't be easy."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Yang Jian has become famous, Headquarters will definitely transfer him to similar major events in the future.

Surviving one S-class paranormal event doesn't guarantee a second or third; you might just perish on any of them.

"I'm sure he'll outlive you, you piece of trash," Xiong Wenwen said.

Cao Yang said nonchalantly, "Since that's the case, let's just wait and see. I may not have many other skills, but I'm good at holding my own. It seems that I'm the only one who's still alive and well among the people who took office at the same time. Oh, and there's that Feng Quan. I heard he got caught up in an incident, but was later rescued. I wonder how he's doing now."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Jian again.

Cao Yang had met Feng Quan, who was also quite capable of self-preservation. Early on, he managed to control two ghosts despite the extremely low success rate, but unfortunately, he still failed. If Yang Jian hadn't saved him, he would probably be dead by now.

He didn't speak when he saw Yang Jian.

Cao Yang realized he wouldn't get the details of that unusual incident, so he stopped trying to probe further and said, "Never mind, it's getting late, and I have to catch my next flight. The communications officer said there's been some unusual incident in the city I'm in charge of, but I don't know if it's a paranormal event. I need to go and check it out."

"Yang Jian, if you ever pass by my place, I'd like to treat you to a meal."

Leaving behind a polite remark that there was no need to offend this somewhat inexplicably frightening Yang Jian, Cao Yang quickly departed.

The other Ghost Tamer were all temporarily transferred from all over the country. Now that the incident is over, and they have stayed in Dachang City long enough, they will all gradually return to the urban areas under their jurisdiction.

After all, given the current situation, the Headquarters still has a significant shortage of Ghost Tamer.

This shortage is partly due to a lack of manpower, but the most important reason is the high mortality rate; some Ghost Tamer may die within a month of taking office.

The extremely high mortality rate deterred Ghost Tamer from becoming leaders.

After all, if you act cowardly, you might survive a little longer.

Before leaving, everyone else greeted Yang Jian. Regardless of the circumstances, Yang Jian's strength was undeniable. Even if the S-class supernatural event wasn't entirely his doing, his abilities alone were not to be underestimated. Although many people, like Lin Long, coveted the ghost candle in Yang Jian's possession, they dared not reveal such thoughts any longer.

If Yang Jian is truly a weakling, then I'm sorry, Ghost Candle will not only target Lin Long, but also everyone else.

The strong prey on the weak without any justification; at most, they'll just maintain appearances and give you some money to get rid of you.

"I'm leaving too. I hope I'll have the chance to see you all again next time." Yang Jian glanced at Xiong Wenwen Tong Qian, Zhao Jianguo, Li Jun, and the others.

This gathering of various parties may mean that many of them will never have the chance to meet again.

However, just before leaving, Wang Xiaoming suddenly appeared out of nowhere and tossed him a few printed sheets of paper. "I noticed some marks on your body that had been artificially altered, though not perfectly. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I just came up with a plan for your body's repair. If you can execute it well, you should be able to look like a normal person."

He saw the corpse spots left on Yang Jian's body and recalled his previous condition.

Clearly, there were some human interventions involved.

The problem is that the person making the change lacks sufficient medical knowledge and theoretical support, making it difficult to effectively repair their body; therefore, some guidance is needed.

"Okay, thank you."

Yang Jian glanced at them; they were all ideas and measures for removing lividity, restoring bodily functions, and altering human anatomy.

It was rigorous and easy to understand, much better than him trying to figure things out on the spot by holding those few medical books.

"No need to thank me. You've simply demonstrated sufficient value. I only help those who are valuable and capable," Wang Xiaoming said coldly.

Yang Jian smiled, said nothing, and quickly drove away from the stadium.

"He's a very dangerous person; even Li Jun couldn't control him."

After he left, Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua came out with a solemn expression. "Although he is very capable and has made great contributions, his immature, even somewhat extreme, personality may become a hidden danger in the future. If something goes wrong one day, he may be more dangerous than a vengeful ghost."

"Young people, how many are mature? It's good enough if he's not antisocial. At least he can communicate and solve paranormal events, which is enough to warrant focused training. Besides, expecting someone to obey orders, solve S-class paranormal events, and be mature and steady in handling affairs is too much to ask. Minister, now is not the time to be picky. Foreign employment systems have already produced top-notch Ghost Tamer. The situation is serious now, and capable people should be released, regardless of whether they have problems or not," Zhao Jianguo said with a wry smile.

While there's nothing wrong with those in positions of power having such thoughts, it depends on the context.

Cao Yanhua thought for a moment and then chose to remain silent.

But deep down, I had a feeling that if these Ghost Tamer continued to grow, they would one day become a unique existence that no country could control.

I just don't know whether that day will be good or bad for the future.

"Let's set off back to J City."

Wang Xiaoming also chose not to stay in Dachang City any longer. He and Li Jun, who was protecting him, quickly left the city on a private plane.

This time, he collected a considerable amount of research material, especially the video footage of Yang Jian hanging himself in front of the mirror. Combined with his current research on the ghost coffin, perhaps a new way to control vengeful ghosts will emerge.

Although the success rate is quite low, once successful, it can reverse the disadvantage humans face in the face of paranormal events.

This will just take a little time.

Important personnel were gradually evacuated from Dachang City, leaving only the rescue team behind.

The streets of Dachang City have regained some liveliness. Although there aren't many people, it's still much better than the previous completely empty city, a ghost town.

But the city has been severely damaged, and the chances of it fully recovering are slim.

After all, the number of paranormal events is increasing, and based on current big data, this should be a period of growth.

S-class paranormal event is just the beginning.

But just as he was driving back to Guangjiang Residential Area, a person suddenly rushed out from the roadside and blocked his car.

"Damn it!"

Yang Jian couldn't help but curse and quickly slammed on the brakes.

Traffic is under control now, there aren't many people on the road, so why are there still people staging accidents? Or is this paranormal event too traumatic for some people, causing them to commit suicide by crashing their cars?

But when he saw clearly who was blocking his way, he was stunned for a moment.

He was an acquaintance, one of his classmates, Zhao Lei.

One of the few people he saved from the initial Starvation Ghost Incident.

"Yang Jian, it's me." Zhao Lei patted the car window.

"Zhao Lei? You're still in Dachang City? But I'm glad to see you're alright." Yang Jian was initially surprised, then pleased.

We parted ways at the last class reunion and hadn't seen each other since. I never expected him to survive this paranormal event.

Surviving without any help from others can only be described as extremely lucky.

"I understand," Zhao Lei suddenly said out of the blue.

Yang Jian, "What do you know?"

"I know how you became Ghost Tamer. You killed Fang Jing, Zheng Fei, Duan Peng, and that human skin paper, that eerie eye, that eerie tree." Zhao Lei spoke haltingly and incoherently, but he revealed a lot of information.

Yang Jian was taken aback for a moment, but he wasn't curious as to why Zhao Lei suddenly knew so much. They had all experienced these things together; Zhao Lei knew about the human skin paper and had seen his own Ghost Eye.

Etc.

How did he know about that tree?

Zhao Lei did not enter that terrifying place.

But before Yang Jian could continue to think and speculate, Zhao Lei asked again, "You're the one who resolved what happened in Dachang City, right?"

"I know you've been interested in the matter of Ghost Tamer before, but the more you know about these things, the less good it will do for you, because these things represent fear and death, which is not a good thing," Yang Jian.

Zhao Lei then jumped to another question, "Wang Shanshan's family is still alive, Zhang Wei's family is still alive, right?"
