Unaffected

As Yang Jian lost his hearing, the surrounding crying stopped abruptly, and the whole world became quiet. He could no longer hear any sound, and that eerie crying no longer entered his mind.

The terrifying wailing had no effect on him, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

"Damn, this works too?"

Yang Jian couldn't help but curse inwardly at that moment.

This thing, if you let it cry for a while, it's almost certain to die. I never thought that by making myself deaf, I could be unaffected.

If ordinary people knew this, they might actually have a chance to survive.

But it seems a bit late now.

Yang Jian glanced at Zhang Hao and the two girls who were with him. Even being in the second level of the Ghost Domain couldn't save them. The three of them were now lying on the ground with stiff faces, their faces filled with sorrow and tears before they died, looking as if they had cried themselves to death.

That stiff expression sent chills down one's spine.

"No, that's not right, Zhang Hao isn't dead." Yang Jian thought Zhang Hao was dead, lying there with a stiff expression, but he found that he was just out of control and still had a life force.

"How is this possible? The two girls next to him are dead, why is he an exception? He's clearly just an ordinary person."

Puzzled.

But these questions could only be kept to themselves; now was not the time to worry about them. Although Zhang Hao was somewhat strange, at least he posed no threat.

"Is Xu Feng dead or not? If you don't make yourself deaf and shut out all other sounds under this kind of crying, even if he's a top-tier Ghost Tamer, he'll die. The killing power of ghost cries has the characteristic of constantly increasing. If you don't react in time or choose to fight against this crying, you'll definitely be the one who suffers in the end."

Yang Jian lowered his hand from his forehead, put away the second layer of the Ghost Domain, and then stood within the Ghost Domain searching for Xu Feng.

Soon.

He saw Xu Feng on the road next to the bus.

He lay motionless on the ground as if he were dead, his body cold, as if he had been dead for a long time. What was most unsettling was that several parts of his body had completely decomposed, oozing bodily fluids and emitting a foul stench.

It looked exactly like a corpse that had been abandoned for days and was rotting.

Even with this corpse, Xu Feng kept his eyes open, constantly turning them, observing everything around him.

Even after all that, he's still alive.

"He actually managed to block the attack of that wailing ghost in this way? This can't be done simply by controlling a vengeful spirit, can it?" Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly, feeling that Xu Feng's state was very special.

It seems he has become a completely vengeful ghost and can no longer be considered a Ghost Tamer.

But even at this stage, he was still able to maintain his consciousness.

It's somewhat similar to my situation. The ghost inside my body has shut down, allowing me to use its power without restraint, without worrying that it will kill me if it revives.

"Could it be that he also used some method to solve the problem of the vengeful ghost's resurgence? And became an anomaly like me?" Yang Jian couldn't help but wonder.

He didn't think his situation was unique. After all, the Ghost Tamer community had been around for at least a year, and with so many Ghost Tamer around the world, it was inevitable that some lucky ones would unexpectedly receive some opportunities when they came into contact with paranormal events.

"Judging from this, he won't die easily."

Yang Jian looked at the man in the baseball cap again, only to find that he was sitting on the ground with his head down, seemingly asleep.

Apart from that, he couldn't see anything strange about the man in the baseball cap. He seemed like a normal person, with no physical changes, and he couldn't sense any vengeful spirit he was controlling.

But it is precisely this seemingly ordinary sleeping that allows one to survive amidst such ghostly wails.

Sure enough, there was a reason why these two people had been able to stay on the bus until now; they were both very special and quite different from ordinary Ghost Tamer.

Ordinary Ghost Tamer could only stall for time by risking resurrection in this situation, but they didn't need to.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian decided to go and check on Xu Feng.

He wouldn't mind causing a little mischief if he could.

Arriving beside Xu Feng, Yang Jian looked down at him, who lay dead on the ground.

"You actually withstood this wave of attacks?" Xu Feng stared at him, his body seemingly unable to move, but he still felt somewhat surprised when he saw Yang Jian.

Logically speaking, the newcomer is most likely to die this time, after all, it's A-class ghost, there's no reason why a newcomer should be able to withstand it.

Yang Jian couldn't hear him speak, nor could he read lips, but he could tell from the way Xu Feng spoke that the guy was alive and well.

"Does his special condition mean he can't move?"

Seeing Xu Feng's motionless posture, he couldn't help but have this suspicion.

He wanted to kick him to test him, but considering that the guy's body was rotting in many places and his body was no longer normal, it was better not to touch him. However, not touching him did not prevent Yang Jian from testing him.

He patted his pocket.

He pulled out a pistol.

This is a specially made pistol, currently the only weapon Yang Jian carries. After all, he hadn't considered encountering this situation when he went out, only thinking of making a quick trip and returning, so he didn't bring many crucial items.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Feng saw that Yang Jian had actually taken out a pistol and immediately confronted Yang Jian, glaring at him angrily.

He could tell that Yang Jian's pistol was specially made, and he wasn't entirely sure if it would have any effect on him.

Yang Jian did not hesitate and immediately chambered a bullet, aiming it at Xu Feng.

"He still won't get up in this condition? It seems he's really rotten to the point of being unable to move." Seeing no reaction, Yang Jian realized this was a weakness in Xu Feng's ability to use his ghostly powers.

Do not move.

No wonder his abilities were kept secret and not reported; there was nothing written about them in the Headquarters files.

This is a rather useless ability. If someone sees his file and it gets leaked, he might be targeted by mercenaries or something similar, and then kidnapped and used for research.

But behind this seemingly useless ability lies something extraordinary.

Having withstood the wailing of the grave-wrenching ghost for so long without dying, this ability to lie still like a corpse is a testament to its formidable self-preservation.

"Should we eliminate him at this time?" Yang Jian's eyes flickered as he began to weigh the options.

Based on the principle of striking while the iron is hot, this was an excellent opportunity to kick someone when they were down. He had discerned the pattern earlier and was not affected by the wailing ghost, but Xu Feng did not, and could only choose to lie there and protect himself.

"What are you looking at? You're not thinking of killing me, are you? Don't be naive. Even that crying couldn't kill me, so you think you're worthy?" Xu Feng sneered, lying on the ground but not taking Yang Jian seriously at all.

Yang Jian couldn't hear what he was saying, but he could guess that it wasn't anything nice.

"He must have a lot of complaints about me because he keeps talking, so it's better to deal with it." He immediately made up his mind and prepared to be the villain who repays kindness with enmity.

Anyway, Xu Feng has already been reported missing by the Ghost Tamer Headquarters, so he's practically considered dead. Even if Yang Jian gets rid of him, no one will bother him.

The next moment, the headless ghostly figure beneath Yang Jian's feet slowly rose from the shadows, preparing to take Xu Feng's head.

If the head is gone, the person can't possibly still be alive.

However, just as he was about to take action, Zhang Hao, who had been acting strangely in the Ghost Domain, also stood up at some point.

With his back to Yang Jian, he walked slowly and stiffly into the distance, yet with such a pace, he managed to escape his Ghost Domain.

"Hmm?" Yang Jian's eyelids twitched.

He had no reason not to pay attention to such a strange occurrence within his own Ghost Domain.

I turned around abruptly.

Something he feared most stood on the other side of the road not far away.

She was a woman wearing a red cheongsam, with a red headscarf covering her head, revealing her dark brown, withered hands.

It was the mummified bride who got off the bus earlier.

Yang Jian broke out in a cold sweat.

When did this thing appear there, or did the mummified bride never leave, and have been watching everything all along?

But the appearance of this mummified bride doesn't seem to be aimed at her, but rather at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao uncontrollably walked out of the Ghost Domain, crossed the road, and kept approaching the mummified bride.

"He's truly beyond saving now." Yang Jian felt a pang of sorrow for Zhang Hao.

Even though he was just a passerby, being targeted by such a ghost was incredibly unlucky.
