Paranormal Invasion

"Look, Yang Jian is out. There seems to be another person with him. Is there any problem?"

Luo Suyī, who was waiting outside the second cordon, saw two people emerge from the rapidly dissipating ghostly mist. Both were wearing the same specially made uniform. One of them was about twenty years old, about 1.78 meters tall, and his slightly immature appearance revealed a vigilance that was beyond his years, while at the same time he had a trustworthy composure.

The other person was in his early thirties, with an average appearance. He coughed as he walked, and his dark brown skin made him look like a living person, giving him an eerie feeling as if a corpse had come back to life, which aroused a sense of inexplicable fear.

"It's Feng Quan. Did Yang Jian bring him out?" Xiong Wenwen, who was playing on her phone, looked up and was immediately surprised.

He thought Feng Quan was dead, but he never expected him to leave the Caesar Hotel alive.

But where did the other guy named Guo Fan go?

Was Feng Quan the only one who survived, while the other person died?

"Let's go, come with me to the Third Central Hospital." Yang Jian strode over and said in a low voice, "It's time to get down to business."

"What are you going to the hospital for? Is someone sick?" Luo Suyī asked.

Yang Jian, "That ghost is at the Third Central Hospital. Our next task is to contain it. Once we deal with that thing, the incident in Z City can be temporarily put to rest."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the Caesar Hotel behind him.

"As for this place, keep it sealed off. I sealed all the doors and windows when I left. If everything goes smoothly, the ghost inside shouldn't be able to escape unless interfered with."

Before leaving, Yang Jian took extra precautions, using the power of the Ghost Domain to block all entrances, exits, doors, and windows of the hotel.

Unless that ghost can destroy the wall or form its own Ghost Domain, it will continue to wander inside for some time to come.

Yang Jian will only return here when he feels confident he can control it; otherwise, in his current state, a direct confrontation would be extremely dangerous, and he should trust Xiong Wenwen's premonition.

"Also, this is a group operation, so the danger level won't be very high. Get in the car first, and I'll tell you about the ghost while I drive, so you can be on your guard." Yang Jian walked towards the pickup truck that had been temporarily assigned to him.

"Alright, let's work together to solve this paranormal incident. A promotion and a raise are within reach. From now on, I'll follow you, Brother Leg," Feng Quan said with a smile.

Although he is now living like a corpse, his personality has changed, and he has become a good person. He may seem dangerous, but he is actually very safe.

The vehicle was traveling on the main road of Z city.

The area has been sealed off due to the Caesar Hotel incident, and all nearby residents have been evacuated from the city. Since Yang Jian had not previously guaranteed that he could definitely resolve this paranormal event, Headquarters had made the worst-case scenario arrangements.

"The ghost we're dealing with right now has the ability to alter people's memories. It seems to be able to directly affect the memories of people nearby. I don't know much about how it does that or how it alters them," Yang Jian said as he drove. He concealed the existence of the ghost newspaper and attributed the memory-altering ability entirely to the ghost.

Anyway, no one's going to confront the ghost.

"I know that. Brother Leg mentioned it before." Feng Quan nodded. "It's a very dangerous ability. Ordinary people, no, even Ghost Tamer, could have their memories affected by that ghost."

"Of course, while this ability is strange, it's not particularly harmful. However, the subsequent effects will be terrifying. My second point is that this ghost has already obtained the ghost face on the back of Tong Qian's head. A ghost controlling another ghost is a very frightening situation. You should all know a little about Ghost-faced Tong Qian ability, so I won't go into details."

Yang Jian continued, "My only concern is that the ghost will undergo some kind of incredible and terrifying change after obtaining the ghost face. You need to be on guard. As for the ghost face's own abilities, they are easy to deal with."

"Laughter is key; as long as you don't hear it, you'll be fine."

The abilities of smiling and crying faces are somewhat similar, except one is crying and the other is smiling.

They all used laughter and crying to kill people.

"After all that talk, you still haven't told me how to pinpoint the ghost's location," Luo Suyī asked. "I have no objection to working together, but I'm really afraid that what happened in that hotel will repeat itself—I might wander off a few steps and get killed without even realizing it."

His previous hotel experience left him with a deep-seated trauma, and he probably won't stay in a hotel again for the rest of his life.

Yang Jian, "The ghost's identity is Tong Qian, who is currently receiving treatment at the Third Central Hospital."

"How could it be her?" Feng Quan was also stunned. "This is impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. That ghost could take away Tong Qian's ghost face, so it can naturally take away Tong Qian's identity. I'm not mistaken," Yang Jian.

He was certain that Tong Qian was a ghost.

However, the specific method of judgment could not be made public, since Feng Quan's memories had also been altered, and he was afraid that revealing it would arouse Feng Quan's suspicion.

"If we really want to take action against Tong Qian, we need to apply to Headquarters. If we act without authorization, it would be the same as attacking a colleague, and if we make a mistake, the consequences could be quite serious," Feng Quan said.

Yang Jian, "Turn on your satellite-guided phone and report this to Zhao Jianguo."

"Okay, I'll talk to him right away." Feng Quan took out his satellite-guided phone to make the call.

However, he discovered that his GPS-enabled phone was turned off, and he couldn't remember exactly when it was turned off.

Although I had some doubts, I didn't pay much attention to them.

As soon as he turned on his phone, Zhao Jianguo's voice came through immediately. "Feng Quan, how are things on your end? Why did you suddenly lose contact? Yang Jian, are you still there? Whoever it is, please tell us what's going on over there. Have you encountered any other danger?"

You could tell from his tone that Zhao Jianguo was very anxious.

After all, Yang Jian and Feng Quan both lost connection at the same time.

Under normal circumstances, a sudden disconnection or loss of contact indicates that a very serious danger has been encountered.

"Feng Quan and I are fine. There's another ghost in the hotel, so for safety's sake, I turned off the communication," Yang Jian said as he drove.

"Is that so? Your sudden disappearance really scared me." Zhao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yang Jian's voice, "If you had also met your end in Z City, I would have been in great responsibility."

If someone like Yang Jian, who has solved S-class paranormal cases, were to die, it would be a huge blow to the Headquarters' prestige, forcing some newcomers who wanted to join to reconsider their own survival.

"Tell Zhao Jianguo about Tong Qian's matter," Yang Jian added.

Feng Quan said, "Captain Zhao, Yang Jian, Xiong Wenwen, Luo Suyī, and I are preparing to restrict Tong Qian, who is currently at the Third Central Hospital in Z City. Based on Yang Jian's current conclusions, Tong Qian is lying in the hospital, may be a ghost."

"What? Tong Qian is a ghost?" Zhao Jianguo was visibly shocked upon hearing this news.

Is this true?

"It shouldn't be wrong," Feng Quan said. "After all, Yang Jian's judgments are rarely wrong, and his words are trustworthy."

"Yang Jian, this is no joke. Tong Qian is still in the hospital. If you make a wrong judgment, the situation will be difficult to handle. After all, she is the person in charge of Z City and has made meritorious contributions. You need to consider the impact this matter will have." Zhao Jianguo's tone was very serious.

He didn't intend to stop Yang Jian's actions, but he was worried about misjudging the situation.

"I will act according to my judgment. It was just a routine for me to have Feng Quan tell you. I will act regardless of whether you agree or not. I will not wait for you to verify before taking action. There is only one chance. Once Tong Qian knows that I have confirmed her ghost identity, then that ghost will definitely change its identity again."

Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "By then, this ghost will be even more deeply hidden, and I won't be able to find it anymore. After all, the ghost has already obtained Tong Qian's ghost face, and its next move is unpredictable."

"Alright, that's it. We'll be at the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital soon."

Feng Quan also said, "At this point, we must trust Yang Jian. Captain Zhao, just wait for the results. We'll handle things here, so don't worry."

"I understand." Zhao Jianguo, who was in the Headquarters communications room, frowned deeply.

After hanging up, he immediately said, "Contact the Third Central Hospital of Z City and inquire about Tong Qian's condition."

A female liaison officer immediately began making contacts.

"Hello, is this the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Z City?" She dialed the number, intending to contact the person in charge there.

But after the call connected, no one spoke on the other end.

"Captain, the call went through but no one answered," the female liaison officer said.

The call connected but no one spoke?

Zhao Jianguo's expression changed drastically. "Hang up the communication immediately."

However, just as the female liaison officer was about to hang up, she suddenly heard a strange laugh coming from her earpiece.

Upon hearing the laughter, the female liaison officer's body gradually stiffened, and then a strange smile appeared on her face. After a few seconds, she lost her balance and fell backward to the ground with a thud. The earpiece on her head hung in mid-air, swaying slightly, and a strange laugh could be faintly heard coming from it.

Moreover, as time passed, the strange laughter gradually became clearer in the communications room.

"Everyone out of the communications room, quick!" Zhao Jianguo shouted in alarm when he saw the female liaison officer's eerie death with a smile on her face.

The supernatural has invaded this place.

He also confirmed that something was wrong at the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Z City.

Yang Jian's judgment just now is most likely correct.

Tong Qian's current identity is... a ghost.
