Requisition and Changes

Upon hearing Yang Jian's almost unreasonable request, Luo Suyī's face immediately darkened.

Lin Luomei also looked at him with some surprise and uncertainty.

Don't want people, only ghosts?

This requirement is unusual, but upon closer examination, it also evokes a sense of inexplicable fear.

Does Yang Jian mean to kill Lin Luomei and forcibly take away the ghost she controls, or does he mean to find a way to strip it away directly?

Regardless of the method used, Lin Luomei's safety is difficult to guarantee.

"Yang Jian, aren't you going a bit too far? Although we're no match for you, we're still members of the Supernatural Forum. If we really offend you, you might not be able to get out of this mess." Luo Suyī forced out a few harsh words, but they lacked confidence and sounded somewhat weak.

"Exactly, if you're so capable, go solve the paranormal incidents in Z City. What kind of skill is it to bully a girl here?" Huang Fei said, mustering his courage.

They were all feeling uneasy.

They all knew very well that if Yang Jian really wanted to make a move, they would have a very hard time leaving the house alive.

"You don't need to provoke me. I'm not like those hot-blooded youths." Yang Jian glanced at them. "When faced with a supernatural event, I will make full use of all the resources at my disposal, like a lion hunting a rabbit. I will never be arrogant. Besides, that thing can't even be considered a rabbit, and I haven't become a lion yet."

"So, you have to help me whether you want to or not. If you refuse, that's fine too. Just tell them what you want to say, not me."

After saying that, he placed the satellite-guided phone on the coffee table.

The entire conversation was conducted publicly, with personnel at Headquarters listening in on the content.

At that moment, Zhao Jianguo's somewhat annoyed voice came from the phone. "Luo Suyī, I don't care if you're from the Supernatural Forum or whether you're willing to help. Since you're still in Z City and in Asia, you have to obey orders. Besides, I asked you to come here to help, and now you're just giving me this perfunctory attitude?"

"Do you know how many innocent citizens are being sacrificed in Z City every night? Headquarters strongly agrees with Yang Jian's action plan. If you insist on refusing, I will immediately recommend that Headquarters approve Yang Jian's special handling of the matter, regardless of any consequences. That's all I have to say. Yang Jian, you can handle the rest. Headquarters has no other requirements, we just hope you can resolve the Z City incident as soon as possible."

"Depend on."

Upon hearing Zhao Jianguo's voice Luo Suyī couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Yang Jian calmly turned off the communication and said, "Sometimes there are advantages to working for Headquarters. At least when things go on, all parties will cooperate. There's no need for reasons, or even permission. A simple phone call is enough. You all heard what Zhao Jianguo said."

"If you're unwilling to help, I can legally and legitimately eliminate you. After all, most civilian Ghost Tamer are potential time bombs; who knows when they'll explode? Preemptive action might not be a bad thing."

Is it worth it for someone like you to work so hard for Headquarters?

Luo Suyī moment, only managing to say, "With your abilities, you'd be highly regarded wherever you go. Why would you actively get involved in one paranormal event after another?"

Yang Jian thought about it seriously for a moment, then said, "From the day I became Ghost Tamer, my path was not one I could choose. It's a dead end with no turning back, only forward. The mentality you described, of thinking only about your own comfort and not caring about what will happen after you die, is actually escapism."

"But running away is never the solution. Look at you all. You've been Ghost Tamer longer than me, but what's the result? You're just hiding like three little mice, not even having solved the problem of your own vengeful spirits reviving. If you continue like this, you'll only face death."

"Of course, I don't think your way of living is wrong. After all, enjoying yourself before dying is already a luxury for most people, but I won't do that, so I'm here today."

"So, Lin Luomei, would you be willing to come with me?"

After speaking, he did not wait for Luo Suyī's reply, but looked directly at Lin Luomei.

Lin Luomei's expression shifted, and she looked at Luo Suyī with a searching gaze, but Luo Suyī remained silent, unsure how to answer Yang Jian. She then looked at Huang Fei, Huang Fei also chose to remain silent.

Yang Jian's visit this time was not only to demonstrate his personal strength, but also to show the intentions of Headquarters.

If they don't agree to cooperate with Yang Jian's operation, they will be legally and legitimately eliminated today. No one will come to their rescue, and no one will dare to plead for them, risking a complete falling out with Headquarters.

When faced with paranormal events, Headquarters will not back down an inch, and no negotiations will be permitted.

Therefore, the answer was already decided from the moment Yang Jian appeared.

"I'll go with you." Lin Luomei didn't speak; instead, a voice came from her phone's speaker.

However, she looked panicked and uneasy, because she knew that once she got involved in the supernatural event, she might die here, since even Yang Jian couldn't easily resolve this supernatural event.

"Very well, let's go then. If this matter is resolved satisfactorily and you survive, I won't treat you unfairly." Yang Jian stood up, intending to leave immediately, not wanting things to deteriorate further.

Lin Luomei walked over silently, preparing to leave with Yang Jian.

"Wait, wait a minute." At this moment Luo Suyī gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going too."

"I don't need your cooperation," Yang Jian said curtly, glancing at him.

Luo Suyī, "I didn't say I was cooperating with you. I'm going to protect her. She's my teammate, and I can't just stand by and watch her be in danger. This incident is very special, and I know that very well. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here seeking help. You might not need my help, but she can't."

Lin Luomei only controls a ghost. If she is attacked by a vengeful ghost, the possibility of the vengeful ghost being directly stimulated and revived is very high. Therefore, if someone protects her, her survival rate will be greatly improved.

Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "I wouldn't mind if you came, but only if you have the ability to protect her. Don't let her die because of you."

Luo Suyī understood what Yang Jian meant: once he went to protect her, Lin Luomei would no longer receive Yang Jian's care, and he would have to take full responsibility.

"Don't worry, I'm confident in myself," he said very seriously.

"That's good." Yang Jian nodded.

The only remaining man, a middle-aged man in his thirties named Huang Fei, said, "Since you've all gone, count me in. The three of us working together will be more reliable."

"No, Huang Fei, you stay here. I'll go. If something happens to us, at least one of us will survive," Luo Suyī immediately refused. "Don't forget our agreement. At least one of us out of the three of us has to survive."

Upon hearing this, Huang Fei immediately fell silent, and the man who had just stood up sat down again in silence.

Yang Jian glanced at him and then, without wasting any more time, used his Ghost Domain to take Luo Suyī and Lin Luomei away from the suburban mansion.

When they reappeared, the three had arrived at the previous temporary shelter.

"Rest first. We'll start the operation at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember, it's best if you don't contact anyone before then. That ghost has secretly altered many people's memories, turning many into Ghost Slave. Don't trust anyone except me right now. This is for your safety."

Yang Jian gave a reminder and then went back to his tent to rest.

Immediately, staff arranged for Lin Luomei and Luo Suyī to rest in another tent.

Yang Jian's progress in Z City over the past day and night has not been smooth, but he has already begun preparing a second action plan.

And it was around two or three in the morning.

In a special ward at the Third Hospital of Z City.

There are protective personnel guarding the area 24 hours a day, and medical staff take turns providing care.

Tong Qian remained unconscious in the hospital bed. According to the doctor's previous diagnosis, unless a miracle occurred, she would likely be paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life.

However, the diagnosis seemed to be different from what was expected.

Tong Qian, who had been in a coma, suddenly opened her eyes at some point.

His eyes were empty and lifeless, staring blankly at the hospital ceiling without blinking, which was strangely abnormal.

This state didn't last long. Tong Qian's lips suddenly curved slightly, revealing that professional smile again. This smile was extremely stiff, devoid of any emotion, and combined with her empty eyes, it was just like the smiling ghost face behind her head earlier.

No one knew about Tong Qian's change, and even fewer people noticed it.
