Tong Qian's Crisis

Supernatural forces have invaded the Headquarters' communications room.

Although the real ghosts were hundreds of kilometers away in Z City, the horror of ghosts had already revealed just the tip of the iceberg, making these operators, who had never encountered paranormal events before, feel the terror and unease of being able to die at any moment.

After a brief commotion, things returned to normal.

All communications were cut off, and the eerie laughter ceased.

However, the damage caused by this brief but terrifying invasion was considerable.

In a separate communications room, Liu Xiaoyu, who was responsible for answering Yang Jian's communications, came out out of curiosity after hearing the commotion outside.

"What happened? Why did the alarm suddenly go off?" She was working alone and had no idea what had just happened.

"A phone call to Z City caused a supernatural invasion of Headquarters, resulting in the murder of a colleague."

A colleague standing guard nearby lowered his voice and said, "It's related to the incident Yang Jian is currently handling. Aren't you Yang Jian's operator? Don't you know anything about this?"

Liu Xiaoyu is a celebrity in the communications room because the person she is in charge of is Ghost Eye Yang Jian. Everyone else both envies and is jealous of Liu Xiaoyu.

"His GPS-enabled phone is switched off. I can only confirm his exact location, but I can't contact him. The connection has been lost for a while. Captain Zhao said before that Yang Jian was fine, but he encountered some special circumstances, so he deliberately disconnected," Liu Xiaoyu said.

"It seems Yang Jian had anticipated this, otherwise he wouldn't have proactively disconnected the line." This colleague assumed Yang Jian knew the inside story and thus took precautions against this bizarre phone-based murder.

"How are the others in the communications room?" Liu Xiaoyu felt a strong sense of unease.

The colleague on guard glanced around and said in a low voice, "Luckily, you were assigned to a separate communications room after the Z City incident, otherwise you might have been involved this time as well. I'm only responsible for maintaining order, and I don't know much else, but judging from the severity of the situation, the casualties this time will probably be considerable."

"The orders from above are that you shouldn't worry about anything right now. Headquarters is safe, so you need to continue contacting Yang Jian. The incident in Z City is starting to come to an end."

Liu Xiaoyu nodded subconsciously, preparing to go back to work.

But just as she was about to turn around and go into the office, she saw staff members dressed in hazmat suits carrying corpses out of the communications room in the corridor next to her.

Each corpse had its eyes open and a strange smile on its face. Judging from the clothes on the corpses, they were all operators in the communications room and Liu Xiaoyu's colleagues. Some of her colleagues were quite close to her and they often chatted together after work.

But now, those familiar colleagues in Liu Xiaoyu's eyes are lying on stretchers, becoming cold corpses.

Watching those familiar faces die with strange smiles, Liu Xiaoyu felt a nameless fear in her heart.

This fear gripped her entire body, making her feel ice-cold.

At that moment, her mind was blank, yet somehow she thought of someone.

That person was Yang Jian Ghost Tamer Liu Xiaoyu had been in charge of.

Does Yang Jian deal with things like this every day?

As she watched the corpses passing by, Liu Xiaoyu's expression gradually changed from fear to numbness, and then to a kind of madness emanating from within.

She began to realize that all the work she had done before was completely meaningless.

I'm too fragile, my colleagues are too fragile, and Team Leader Zhao is the same. Just one phone call, just a simple connection, and the communications room turned into this mess.

The Headquarters communications room, which Liu Xiaoyu had always considered incredibly safe, now felt exceptionally eerie and terrifying, like a death cage where no one could leave alive. Even if someone survived today, they would eventually die here.

Without a sound.

"Bang!"

Liu Xiaoyu seemed to have snapped out of her daze at some point. She suddenly returned to her office and slammed the door shut.

She picked up the communication device with some agitation, pressing the buttons anxiously, eager to reconnect with Yang Jian.

Trembling, fear, unease, and the strange smiling faces of my colleagues flashing through my mind from time to time.

All of this was almost too much for Liu Xiaoyu to bear.

All the usual training and guidance were useless at this moment.

"Quick, quick, quick, open the communication!" Liu Xiaoyu herself didn't know why she was desperately trying to connect to Yang Jian.

All she knew was that this was the only thing she could do at the moment.

Or perhaps, as long as she can hear Yang Jian's indifferent voice, she can regain her sense of self when she's on the phone.

This is both an escape and a way of seeking comfort.

Sudden fear can crush a person's spirit, and Liu Xiaoyu clearly lacks a good mental fortitude.

"This is Yang Jian. Communication is now restored." However, despite Liu Xiaoyu's near-collapse state, Yang Jian proactively restored communication.

Because Yang Jian is about to make a move against Tong Qian.

Tong Qian, who is suspected of being a ghost, must maintain communication to avoid revealing what she is doing in the shadows.

"Yang Jian, it's... it's me, Liu Xiaoyu." Liu Xiaoyu was emotional, her voice trembling with tears. She wanted to say something, but in the context of actually communicating with Yang Jian, she didn't know what to say.

She had become accustomed to being Yang Jian's listener, rather than his speaker.

"I understand." Yang Jian didn't talk to Liu Xiaoyu about anything, just replied casually, and then turned his attention to something else.

Wearing headphones, Liu Xiaoyu leaned over the communicator, head down, quietly listening to Yang Jian's action report.

As usual.

Yang Jian, who was outside the Third Central Hospital of Z City, was unaware that Zhao Jianguo's phone call had nearly wiped out everyone in the communications room. His immediate priority was to locate Tong Qian and then deal with her.

"Tong Qian is in a special ward on the top floor of the hospital, at least that's the information I have, but I'm not sure if her location has changed." Yang Jian got out of the car and looked up at the hospital building.

To be honest, he has a phobia of going to the hospital.

Yang Jian almost died in the hospital when he was in Dachang City.

"Now that we've confirmed Tong Qian's identity, what's your plan, Brother Leg? We'll follow your instructions," Feng Quan said.

Luo Suyī and Lin Luomei also looked at him.

Although they were forced to come and help, they would follow Yang Jian's instructions if he was willing to make a plan, which would be much better than doing things recklessly on their own.

"Without a plan, that ghost isn't particularly terrifying. Its only scary aspect is its ability to alter memories and steal other people's identities, making it highly stealthy. Fortunately, its infiltration range isn't large. If it were to travel abroad, take over a foreign president, and control a country, that would be extraordinary."

"So just go for it, but be careful."

Yang Jian didn't think this ghost was particularly difficult to deal with; with so many Ghost Tamer working together, they were almost certain of success.

Upon hearing this, the others also gained confidence.

The group strode towards the hospital.

Just as Yang Jian was passing by the main gate, a security guard on duty looked at him with a strange smile.

Yang Jian noticed the security guard.

His gaze sharpened, his skin stretched open, revealing his Ghost Eye, which stared at the security guard with an eerie look.

"That ghost knows we're here. Looks like we don't have time to sneak past. Let's be violent. I'll use my Ghost Domain to lead you to it." Yang Jian withdrew his gaze, ignoring the security guard with the strange smile.

Who knows how many Ghost Slave in Z City have had their memories altered by vengeful spirits?

He now has only one goal.

His Ghost Eye opened immediately, and red light emanated from his body, instantly covering the entire hospital with his Ghost Domain.

When the Ghost Domain covered the hospital.

In a hospital room, Tong Qian stood strangely by the window, watching Yang Jian drive up from a distance and stop downstairs, seemingly watching Yang Jian enter the hospital.

Meanwhile, the Ghost Domain was covering the hospital.

A smile gradually appeared on Tong Qian's face, and a strange, eerie laugh came from her mouth. The laughter spread from the ward and in all directions.

Soon, the entire hospital was filled with this terrifying laughter.

But no matter how terrifying the laughter was, Yang Jian knew that this would be his last encounter with this ghost.

Either Yang Jian dies here, or this ghost is imprisoned.
