"Brother Leg, did you hear that? It sounds like laughter."

Even though he was in the Ghost Domain, Feng Quan could still vaguely hear a strange laugh echoing in his ears.

The laughter seemed to be drifting from a distance, but it didn't completely fade away due to the distance.

On the contrary, the laughter seemed to become clearer and clearer. At first, it was intermittent, as if I were hallucinating, but later it became clearer and clearer, as if there really was someone laughing strangely right next to my ear. The laughter had a kind of eerie infectiousness, and after listening to it for a while, I couldn't help but want to laugh along.

"That's the laughter of the ghost face. Tong Qian's ghost face is now on that ghost's body. That thing already knows we're here." Upon hearing this laughter, Yang Jian immediately activated the second layer of the Ghost Domain.

The laughter was muted.

However, this kind of shielding doesn't last long. Ghostly laughter and ghostly crying are the same; if you stay in one place for a long time, the laughter will become stronger and stronger.

In the end, even if Yang Jian used the third layer of Ghost Domain, he couldn't withstand that laughter and would still die.

However, all he needs now is a little more time.

Restrain the ghost before its laughter becomes terrifying.

"Tong Qian is on the top floor." Yang Jian immediately found the source of the laughter.

It was coming from a hospital room on the top floor.

Immediately, he led Feng Quan and Luo Suyī directly to the top floor, to the room from which the laughter was coming.

As for Lin Luomei and Xiong Wenwen, Yang Jian felt that their role was not significant under these circumstances, so he did not let them come along. Therefore, the three of them were the ones who actually carried out the operation.

Upon entering the room, the eerie laughter grew even more terrifying.

The second layer of the Ghost Domain was immediately invaded. That faint laughter appeared in the second layer of the Ghost Domain and gradually became clearer. Once a certain limit was reached, everyone who heard the laughter would die. Even Ghost Tamer would probably not be able to resist it.

Only a true ghost could ignore such laughter.

Having learned from his first encounter with the ghost, Yang Jian didn't give it any time to attack and immediately pinpointed the source of the laughter.

She was a woman with bandages wrapped around her head and wearing a hospital gown.

This woman was tall and slender, full of youth and vitality. Unlike the lifeless corpses in the hotel, this was a living body, belonging to Tong Qian. The only difference was that the woman's face was strange, revealing a smile and emitting a creepy laugh.

She seemed to know that Yang Jian had appeared, and her empty, lifeless eyes looked in their direction.

But, the next moment.

A tall, headless black shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind Tong Qian without any warning.

Then, a pair of arms covered in dark brown mud appeared out of thin air on Tong Qian's left and right.

On the ground, thin lines of blood spread like countless worms, quickly extending to Tong Qian's feet.

Three distinct and terrifying supernatural entities attacked her in an instant as she was laughing.

A ghostly figure invaded Tong Qian's body; its dark brown, mud-covered hand, resembling that of a dead man, gripped her neck tightly and covered her mouth.

The blood-stained thread beneath her feet climbed up Tong Qian legs and quickly wrapped around her entire body, rendering her unable to move.

The sudden onset of three supernatural suppressions rendered Tong Qian completely incapacitated.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

"That's it?"

As the Ghost Domain gradually receded, Luo Suyī he saw that Tong Qian was no longer moving.

After so many days of haunting the source of the paranormal phenomenon, is this ghost capable of altering other people's memories really being restricted like this?

That's way too easy.

It's so simple that I even doubted whether all that hard work was worth it.

"Three people coming out together is like three ghosts attacking Tong Qian together. If she still has the ability to move under this kind of suppression, then I will have to consider running away. Besides, this ghost itself is not that scary. If we were to define it, it would be a C at most, restricted level. The only scary thing is its method of controlling people." Yang Jian felt that the headless ghost shadow had not been repelled.

Tong Qian was truly overwhelmed instantly.

The ghost face also lost its eerie quality.

However, we still cannot let our guard down; once the suppression is gone, this ghost will still kill.

"Brother Leg, this thing is a bit difficult to contain. If it keeps laughing, the sound might still be heard even if it's placed in a gold container, let alone the fact that we only prepared body bags this time." Feng Quan's mud-covered dead hands gripped Tong Qian's body.

Yang Jian, "I don't intend to lock it up like this. I want to separate the ghost from the ghost face, which will make it much easier to lock it up."

As he spoke, he took out the blood-stained red newspaper.

First, remove the smiley face, turning the ghost back into a faceless ghost.

The red newspaper was quickly stuck to Tong Qian's face, but after a few minutes, the smiling face didn't come off as expected.

That strange smiling face is still on Tong Qian's body.

"How could this be?" Yang Jian's expression changed; he hadn't expected the red newspaper to be ineffective.

But that's impossible. He clearly removed Feng Quan's face before, and the experiment was a great success.

Subsequently, Yang Jian realized the problem.

Removing Feng Quan's face was merely exploiting the red newspaper's indiscriminate attack characteristic; it wasn't a complete control over the object. Furthermore, the newspaper and the ghost were originally one entity; how could one use someone else's possession to remove their face?

"It seems this thing is useless against this ghost. Now it looks like the only way is to use my own ghostly shadow to get this ghost face." Yang Jian wasn't discouraged after his failed attempt.

He had another way.

However, using a red newspaper to take a face and using his face to take a face are two completely different methods.

Yang Jian's work was a kind of brute force patchwork, while the red newspaper was a perfect imprint. He wasn't sure if it would have any effect on Tong Qian's body.

"Is Brother Leg alright? It's not good if we keep suppressing him." Feng Quan urged at this moment.

He couldn't keep using the power of the vengeful ghost to suppress Tong Qian.

After all, Feng Quan had just restored the balance in his body, and using the Grave Soil for an extended period of time would stimulate the resurgence of vengeful spirits and disrupt the balance, so he could not cross the line.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately put away the red newspaper and then used Ghost Shadow to remove the smiling face.

The ghostly face formed a black hand that emerged from Tong Qian's body. This shadowy hand covered Tong Qian's face, grasping her and applying slight pressure.

The smiling face was easily removed, like a puzzle piece.

After getting his hands on the ghost face, he immediately put it into a golden box and locked it away.

"Put Tong Qian's body into a body bag. The ghost face is only part of it. Tong Qian herself is a ghost now. I haven't thought of a way to take Tong Qian's body back yet." Yang Jian could still feel the suppression from the headless ghost figure.

This shows that Tong Qian, despite losing her face, still has the ability to move.

This eeriness suggests that Tong Qian is the ghost that altered memories.

As for why the ghost could still possess Tong Qian's identity after the ghost face was removed, Yang Jian had no idea.

This is probably similar to a kind of supernatural possession.

Yang Jian had previously speculated that the ghost that altered memories might not have a physical form, but rather an invisible supernatural entity, and whoever inherited this supernatural entity would become the ghost.

Now it seems very likely.

Without saying a word, Feng Quan immediately put Tong Qian's body into a body bag and disposed of it.

Once they stopped suppressing it, movement immediately came from inside the body bag.

Tong Qian, trapped inside, struggled incessantly, seemingly trying to escape, like a demon locked in a cage, making a final effort.

"Leave it like this for now. It's best to put it in a box. Contact Zhao Jianguo and ask him to handle it," Yang Jian.

"Okay, I'll contact Zhao Jianguo right away and tell him that the incident in Z City is over," Feng Quan nodded.

But is the incident in Z City truly over?

Yang Jian still hasn't figured out the exact source of the Head Balloon Incident.

All he knew was that no one was dying in City Z anymore.

"I can't worry about that now. This trip wasn't a complete waste. At least I've eliminated a huge potential threat and restricted the ghost's movements in the hotel. As for why the Head Balloon Incident was suddenly stopped, I have no interest in knowing right now," Yang Jian thought to himself.

And now, he has collected all the items he needed on the parchment.

Smiling faces, crying faces, and red newspapers.

If he could, he could right now artificially create a Ghost Tamer controls two ghosts.

The original goal was to choose Tong Qian.

But Tong Qian is a ghost; choosing her is tantamount to giving everything to a ghost.

This is a potential trap.

"I'll think about it when we get back." Yang Jian rubbed his head; he was a little tired.

Dealing with these monstrous things was really unpleasant, and it's only now that things have finally come to a near end.
