Two Pieces of Information

Night.

Yang Jian was alone in his room, reading the report on the incident in Z City and the files of the relevant personnel.

He had already seen the information on Ghost-faced Tong Qian, so he didn't need to look at it. As for the other two Ghost Tamer, Yang Jian, who went to Z City to provide support, he didn't have much contact with them, but they looked somewhat familiar.

"It's him... Feng Quan." Yang Jian saw a familiar file.

The person who went to provide support in Z City this time was actually Feng Quan, whom he had rescued from Huanggang Village.

Feng Quan was the first person in charge of Dachang City. He was trapped because of the Ghost Coffin Incident in Huanggang Village. It was only when he appeared that the deadlock was broken, the supernatural incident was resolved, and he was rescued.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jianguo sent him to Z City this time.

Yang Jian had met another person in the other file once before. This person Guo Fan, one of the Ghost Tamer who accompanied Zhao Jianguo into the city during the Starvation Ghost Incident and was responsible for escorting the starving ghost away.

Feng Quan and Guo Fan should be considered top-tier Ghost Tamer.

Clearly, Zhao Jianguo had put a lot of effort into resolving the Z City incident, and had recruited two very capable individuals.

Not only that, Yang Jian also saw a list of foreign aid players: Luo Suyī, Huang Fei, Lin Luomei.

"It's that trio of noobs who came to see me last time. I remember they were members of the Supernatural Forum. How did Zhao Jianguo manage to get people from the Supernatural Forum? Could he have some kind of shady deal with Ye Zhen, the administrator of that Supernatural Forum?" Yang Jian pondered.

Unfortunately, I don't have any files on this trio of noobs.

Since they are not the Ghost Tamer from Headquarters, they naturally cannot have backup files.

"Including the missing Tong Qian, there are at least six Ghost Tamer in Z City now. If Xiong Wenwen and I go there tomorrow, there will be eight. What's going on with such a large force?"

"The Z City Head Balloon Incident"

Yang Jian looked at the last file.

This is an archive documenting paranormal events in Z City. The document is not very long, containing only simple descriptions and some on-site photos.

The photo shows a city, but black objects are floating in the sky above it.

Turning to the next photo, which was taken at close range, the black floating objects turned out to be pale human heads, floating motionless like balloons released into the air. No wonder this scene was called the Head Balloon Incident.

"Every night, people die mysteriously in Z City. Their heads float up like balloons in the sky above the city, and the number of heads keeps increasing every day."

"The cause of the paranormal event is unknown, and the method of murder is unknown."

The two unknowns mean that this is a ghost that has never been recorded in the archives, and all information about it is missing. The Ghost Tamer a risk to investigate.

It was precisely because of this that Tong Qian fell, and her fate remains unknown.

"Based on the current casualties, this paranormal event is classified as a B. However, since the event cannot be resolved quickly, considering the continued increase in casualties and Tong Qian's disappearance, Headquarters is classifying it as an A."

"It has the terror level of B-class, yet the harm of A-class. No wonder Guo Fan went to Z City."

Yang Jian had met Guo Fan before. This guy was very dissatisfied with himself for solving S-class paranormal incident and making a name for himself in the industry, so he probably went to Z City this time to try to gain credit.

After all, once Headquarters defines the event level, resolving events of that level will be considered your achievement.

"It would be fine if this were just an ordinary paranormal event, but the appearance of Zhao Lei, and the fact that that ghost can only alter memories, has infiltrated Z City and made things exceptionally complicated. If the ghost controlling Zhao Lei isn't handled properly and grows stronger, then this will undoubtedly become another S-class paranormal event."

After reviewing the information, Yang Jian thought for a while and then began preparing for his business trip the next day.

Some standard equipment items are essential, such as a handgun, bullets, a baton, identification documents, and a GPS-enabled mobile phone.

Then there are the special items: the Ghost Rope and the Ghost Candle are definitely essential to bring.

"Should we bring this face covering?"

Yang Jian looked at a small box in the room, which contained the face covering he had obtained from the Ghost Car incident.

There is a crying face outline above, which may be related to Tong Qian, who has a smiling face.

Moreover, the ghost that alters memories steals other people's memories by replicating their faces, so the face-covering cloth related to faces may also be involved.

"Let's take it with us, just in case it comes in handy." Yang Jian decided to take it with him. It's better to be prepared than not, and it won't cause any harm even if he doesn't use it.

After checking several times to make sure nothing was missed, he looked down at the ground.

Yang Jian wasn't looking at the floor, but rather at the box containing human parchment, which was located 10,000 meters underground.

Before the ghost car incident, he sent the human skin paper deep underground.

Given the current lack of intelligence in Z City, and considering the existence of the memory-altering ghost, this piece of human skin that can reveal crucial information is especially important. However, dealing with such bizarre things is truly unsettling.

"The information in this incident is extremely crucial, and we absolutely have to rely on this piece of paper. As for whether we'll use it or not, I know what I'm doing. Besides, if this incident goes wrong, the consequences will be far more severe than just this piece of paper."

After thinking for a long time, Yang Jian decided to bring this item with him this time.

It should be noted that he did not carry the human skin paper with him Starvation Ghost Incident.

The information about the Starvation Ghost Incident was already very detailed; it was just that you lacked the ability to solve it. But this time it's different; he'll be facing a terrifying being that can alter memories at will.

If you accidentally fall victim to this, you might not die, but you'll have your memories manipulated at will by the ghost, and be completely controlled.

Therefore, Yang Jian may not need to risk his life this time, but he absolutely must be extremely careful.

Just as he was preparing, Jiang Yan's voice came from the hallway. "Yang Jian, are you upstairs?"

She was even more timid than Zhang Liqin, and rarely dared to come to the fifth floor alone, because she knew that there were unclean things on the fifth floor and that it was taboo.

"What is it?" Yang Jian replied.

"I've pieced together all those scraps of paper from last time. Would you like to take a look?" Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been scary if Yang Jian hadn't been there, since there were occasional noises coming from upstairs.

Yang Jian, "Okay, I'll be right there."

Once everything was almost ready, he picked up a body bag and went downstairs.

He paused as he passed the room where the ghost mirror was kept. After looking at it, he remembered that his body was no longer the same and he could no longer leave a shadow on the ghost mirror. Otherwise, just to be on the safe side, he would have left a shadow on the ghost mirror before going on his business trip.

The ghost car incident almost got Yang Jian into trouble, which made him extra cautious.

A little while later, Jiang Yan smiled and took Yang Jian's hand, leading him to her bedroom.

"I've done you such a big favor this time, how are you going to thank me? I haven't slept well for five or six days trying to piece together these scraps of paper for you."

"I'll give you a raise later," Yang Jian.

Jiang Yan said, "No, I don't want a raise. I want you to sleep with me tonight! Look, I've already made the bed."

"Aren't you afraid I'll turn into a zombie tonight and kill you?" Yang Jian threatened her.

"Ah, you can turn into a zombie now?" Jiang Yan shuddered in fright.

She had witnessed Yang Jian losing control of himself; it happened when they lived in the apartment before.

"No," Yang Jian changed his mind.

"Fine, you're deliberately trying to scare me. I think you'll scare me to death one day." Jiang Yan was on the verge of tears; her boyfriend was just too abnormal.

Yang Jian ignored Jiang Yan's entanglement and flipped through a pieced-together notebook.

The above are various records written by Zhao Lei when his memory was tampered with.

Yang Jian had already looked at everything he needed to see; he was just worried that he might have missed some clues, so he asked Jiang Yan to piece it together and check it again.

It's always better to be careful.

"Nothing of value here, wait." Yang Jian thought it was useless after flipping through it a few times, but when he looked at the upper right corner of the notebook, he found that there was a word written in the upper right corner of several pages.

The handwriting was very small, and each character was inconspicuous when viewed alone, but as he flipped through the pages quickly, these characters were strung together to form an incomplete sentence.

The pages were stapled together in a scrambled order, so they couldn't form a single sentence. Yang Jian copied down the characters in the upper right corner and then tried to piece them together coherently.

It's short and easy to spell.

A sentence appeared before his eyes: Room 31, Caesar Hotel, Z City.

"How is that possible? How could Zhao Lei possibly know that ghost would go to this place?" Yang Jian's gaze sharpened.

This message was exactly the same as the one delivered by the ghost cabinet, the only difference being the room number.

The room number on the ghost cabinet is 13, but the information Zhao Lei left before his death is number 31.

I checked the crucial number on the notebook again, and it was indeed 31, written as a single continuous line, so there was no possibility that I had spelled it backwards.

"Was it Zhao Lei who wrote this, or the ghost? If it was Zhao Lei, then the statement is highly credible. But if it was the ghost, could this be a trap deliberately set by the ghost?"

Rooms 13 and 31 are two separate rooms.

If Zhao Lei is in one of the rooms, then the other room definitely hides some kind of immense terror.

Because if it were a ghost setting a trap to kill Yang Jian, the trap would have to be incredibly powerful.

"So, should I believe Zhao Lei's notes, or should I believe the Ghost Cabinet?" Yang Jian's heart sank.

Even before setting off for Z City, he already felt an inexplicable eeriness enveloping him.

This all seems to be a trap that was set up long ago and was aimed at me.

If he really had to judge, Yang Jian was more inclined to believe the Ghost Cabinet's information, because the Ghost Cabinet needed him to find the ghost bride within a year, so it wouldn't use false information to trick him into dying; otherwise, who would continue the deal with it?

However, Zhao Lei's information was left behind before his death.

It's highly unlikely that the ghost would have orchestrated this, because Yang Jian had no idea that any of this would happen at that time.

Both pieces of information seem both trustworthy and questionable.

However, this information is different, which means that one of them must be false.

Even two pieces of information could be false.
