Unbridled

Yang Jian stared intently at the writing on the human skin paper in his hand for a long time.

This time, the paper seemed to have made no attempt to hide it, revealing an unprecedented amount of information, much of which Yang Jian hadn't even inquired about.

This proactive disclosure of information conceals a terrible trap.

"Was the human skin paper used as bait to lure me into contacting that Tong Qian again when I lacked information? Did it want to use another unknown ghost in the Caesar Hotel to kill me? Or did it think I couldn't defeat that ghost that could alter memories? Going there would just be suicide?"

"However, this thing is very good at understanding people's hearts, knowing that risk and reward are proportional. Once I succeed, I might really have another subordinate who can perfectly control two ghost faces using this method. Ha, how insidious. This paper-like thing reminds me of a story."

A story about a hunter and a fox came to Yang Jian's mind.

The story is about a hunter who went into the mountains with his rifle and encountered a fox. The hunter fired, but the fox cleverly dodged. The hunter fired again, and the fox dodged again. Then the fox mocked, "You knew you couldn't hit me, so why did you shoot at me?"

The hunter said: If I miss you, I only lose a bullet, but you lose your life.

After saying that, he fired again. The fox, in its panic, was unable to dodge and was shot dead.

At this moment, the paper doll is like a hunter, and Yang Jian is like a fox. He can dodge once or twice, but if he fails even once, Yang Jian will lose everything.

Unless Yang Jian stops playing with the human skin paper, as long as the game continues, he will always be the one who suffers.

But the most terrifying thing about the human skin paper is that it reveals information at the perfect timing.

It seems that as long as you take a gamble as it says, you can get a promotion, a raise, and reach the pinnacle of your life.

"Going to deal with the ghost controlling Zhao Lei is a must. However, even if the human skin paper didn't reveal this information, I would still find a way to deal with it. Why did it reveal this information? Is it just to add bait, or is there a danger and terror I don't know about hidden beneath this information?"

Yang Jian did not doubt the feasibility of the method.

As long as he successfully restrains the ghost, according to what was said above, Tong Qian can perfectly control the two ghost faces and become Ghost Tamer of the same level as him, and the risk is almost non-existent, because he is taking that risk.

But that alone isn't convincing enough. Yang Jian certainly wouldn't risk his life for a stranger and give up the chance to perfectly control the Ghost Face.

However, that ghost was able to alter memories.

If Yang Jian succeeds in following the method on the parchment, he can freely alter Tong Qian's memories, transforming Tong Qian into the personality he desires upon waking.

Although doing so is insidious and shameful.

But it has to be said that it is very tempting.

It is dangerous for humans to control ghosts, but it is not dangerous for humans to control each other. If Tong Qian's case is successful, Yang Jian could even build his own team using this method.

"What exactly do you want to do with this? Why did you deliberately reveal this method?" However, Yang Jian was more worried about the intentions hidden behind this human skin paper.

Even though the paper doll hasn't shown any signs of harm yet.

However, Yang Jian knew that this was only because he had taken good precautions; if he made a mistake, the price he would pay would be enormous.

Just as he was pondering this, Zhang Gao, who was outside the door, immediately came in. "Yang Jian, Tong Qian's family has come to visit. Do you think we should leave?"

Yang Jian snapped out of his reverie and realized he had been staring at the human skin paper in thought for quite some time. He said, "Sorry, I was thinking about something. I'm all done here, let's go."

Zhang Gao nodded.

As soon as Yang Jian left the ward, he saw Tong Qian's parents and relatives who had rushed over overnight to visit her. There were quite a few people, more than a dozen in total.

"Do you have any good ideas about Tong Qian's matter? If there's anything in Z City that needs help, just let me know, and I'll do my best to cooperate," Zhang Gao said as he walked.

"If there's anything I can help with, I'll definitely ask. I haven't figured it out yet, but I do have a rough plan for handling Tong Qian's situation." Yang Jian hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly seemed to sense something, abruptly stopped, and turned to look at the group of people who were entering the ward one after another.

Among the family members visiting Tong Qian, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man mingled in the crowd. This middle-aged man did not say a word, his head was slightly lowered, but the corners of his mouth curved into an eerie smile.

This expression is exactly the same as the smiling face I saw at the hotel during the day.

"Stop!" Yang Jian frowned and suddenly shouted.

Zhang Gao stopped walking, and the security personnel nearby all turned to look in their direction.

Among the visiting relatives, others subconsciously looked towards Yang Jian, but the middle-aged man did not stop and continued walking into the ward.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?" Yang Jian walked over with a cold face, pushed through the crowd, grabbed the middle-aged man by the neck, and slammed him against the wall with a bang.

Its strength was extraordinary; ordinary people had no chance to struggle and couldn't even lift their heads.

"Who are you? What do you want to do to me? Let me go! Help! Someone's hitting me!" the middle-aged man cried out in anguish.

Yang Jian showed no intention of letting go of him, and said coldly, "Were you laughing just now?"

"What did you say? I don't know! Let go of me, you madman!" the middle-aged man shouted.

Yang Jian, "Do you really think I can judge people by my own eyes? It's fine if you don't admit it. Zhang Gao, lock this guy up first. Don't let him out until things in Z City are over. Also, keep him away from Tong Qian. Today's visit is canceled. From now on, only essential medical personnel are allowed to enter this ward. No one else is allowed to enter."

"Furthermore, medical staff must be accompanied by at least three people when entering or leaving the premises."

After saying that, he grabbed the middle-aged man and headed towards the security personnel.

"What are you doing, hitting people like that? Don't you have any laws? Let go right now! Do you really think my family is easy to bully?" An older woman couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over, pulling and tugging at Yang Jian's arm, even trying to bite it.

"Hey kid, wanna fight? Let go, or you'll regret it today."

"Damn it, they dare to bully us too? They're asking for it."

When the other family members and relatives who had come to visit saw Yang Jian arresting people without any explanation, they immediately rushed forward in a rage, raising their fists to strike.

"Everyone calm down, calm down!" Zhang Gao hurriedly called out, and led two security guards to break up the fight.

Although the pulling and beatings posed no threat to Yang Jian, he was unwilling to let them interfere with his work. Before Zhang Gao could stop him, Yang Jian pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the ceiling.

"Bang!"

The gunshot was loud, startling the people nearby.

Does this kid have a gun?

Upon realizing this, all the men who had been pulling, biting, and verbally abusing each other, as well as those who had tried to throw punches, became somewhat frightened.

"Yang Jian, the person in charge of Dachang City, is currently handling a case. You have no right to interfere. If you continue to obstruct us, I have the right to shoot and kill anyone who obstructs us after a warning shot has been fired, no matter how many there are."

Yang Jian coldly glanced at them. "Those who aren't afraid of death can try."

This is one of the rights of the person in charge, and they can exercise it even if it is not within their jurisdiction.

Zhang Gao hurriedly said, "Yang Jian, calm down. They are all Tong Qian's family members."

"I know, but Tong Qian is already in a vegetative state. She's no longer of any value. If I shoot her now, Tong Qian can't jump out of her hospital bed to shoot me. Besides, this involves a special case. Even the leaders of Z City would have to step aside for me, let alone Tong Qian's family."

Yang Jian said, his expression cold and indifferent.

He has already identified problems among these people; it's hard to guarantee that others are without issues.

So this warning was already quite polite; otherwise, Yang Jian would have had Zhang Gao lock all these people up.

"I know, but I still hope that you, Yang Jian, can leave things here to me. I promise I will handle them properly," Zhang Gao said.

"Can you grasp the seriousness of this matter?" Yang Jian stared at him. "The impact of this incident has exceeded our initial estimates."

After saying that, he tossed the middle-aged man in his hand directly to him.

"That ghost wants to contact Tong Qian again, perhaps to kill her, or perhaps for some other purpose, but it's definitely not a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gao's expression changed drastically, and he quickly grabbed the middle-aged man and handcuffed him.

"Since you say you can handle it, then I'll leave it to you. I have other things to do and don't have time to waste here. I hope you can do a better job than I expect." After saying that, Yang Jian didn't plan to stay any longer and hurriedly left.

And these potential Ghost Slave are hidden very deeply.

"This is a huge problem. I might have been under that ghost's surveillance the moment I entered Z City. There are probably spies of that ghost all over the city. Originally, it was the enemy in the open and us in the dark, but now it's the enemy in the dark and us in the open. This kind of setup is definitely not like that ghost's style. It's more like Zhao Lei's style, because Zhao Lei plays games like this. He likes to place spies everywhere, monitor the enemy's movements, and then ambush them."

Yang Jian's heart sank.

The ghost controlled Zhao Lei, and Zhao Lei obeyed the ghost's orders. In this way, it was as if Zhao Lei was using his wisdom to do things for the ghost.

The effects of this situation are terrifying.

Yang Jian even felt that after controlling Zhao Lei, the ghost had gradually gone out of control and was no longer the mindless, rule-bound being he had encountered before.
