The Invaded Cabin
Solving this paranormal event on an airplane sounds exciting, but Yang Jian knows that once he makes this decision, the lives of all the passengers on board will hang in the balance.
In the coming period, everyone except Yang Jian could become the next target of the vengeful ghost and die on this flight.
It all depends on who's unlucky enough to unintentionally trigger the ghost's killing pattern, or who gets chosen by the vengeful spirit to be its next target.
"Based on all the information we've gathered so far, the ghost didn't stay on this plane the whole time; it just suddenly appeared on this flight. It's a sudden paranormal event," Yang Jian began to ponder.
"Therefore, there are only two possibilities regarding the existence of ghosts."
"Either one of the passengers is a ghost, or the ghost followed the passenger onto the plane."
The possibility of Ghost Tamer was directly ruled out, because it would be extremely easy to retrieve information on all passengers on this flight. Headquarters had already sent word that the possibility of Ghost Tamer had been ruled out, meaning that apart from Yang Jian, no one else on the plane was likely Ghost Tamer.
"There's a higher chance that one of the passengers is the ghost. If the ghost boarded the plane with the passenger, there's no reason why it wouldn't start moving around at the airport before this moment." Based on the current situation, Yang Jian deduced that the ghost might be disguised as one of the passengers.
However, this is only a possibility; he will not make a decision rashly before confirming the true situation.
Incorrect estimations can lead you into a dead end, thus increasing the difficulty of a paranormal event.
"Our immediate priority is to pinpoint the ghost's location so we can rule out other possibilities."
After thinking it over, he decided on his next move.
He only needed to pinpoint the ghost's location; he wouldn't act rashly before understanding the ghost's level of terror.
The Caesar Hotel incident in Z City remained fresh in Yang Jian's memory.
Who could have imagined that the moment he stepped into that hotel, he would be targeted by a vengeful ghost? If he hadn't been well-prepared, he would have been trapped in the hotel and would never have left Z City alive.
This time, I prepared very little for my trip to J City.
Aside from a few firearms to intimidate ordinary people, the only thing that can ward off vengeful spirits is that eerie rag doll; as for ghost candles and the like, they've already run out.
Moreover, his own condition was also beginning to deteriorate. If the power of the vengeful ghost continued to be abused, it would definitely accelerate the rate of his own deterioration.
Furthermore, without any help this time, Yang Jian could only choose a more conservative and cautious course of action.
Even if I define this ghost as C, restricted.
"How's the situation, Wang Dong?" Yang Jian went out and saw Wang Dong inspecting the cabin.
"Everything is normal, nothing has been found." Wang Dong immediately walked over and said in a low voice, "No one else knows about the female passenger's death. Because the body was found in the toilet, it didn't cause any panic. But this kind of thing can't be suppressed forever; it will be exposed sooner or later."
Yang Jian glanced at all the passengers in the cabin; "It doesn't matter whether it's exposed or not. From now on, no matter what happens, you must make sure all passengers stay in their seats. Don't panic, or things will get complicated."
"What if there are casualties?" Wang Dong asked again.
Yang Jian said, "Won't people die if things get chaotic? The plane is only so big. Where can you run if that thing wants to kill someone? As long as we maintain normal order, I can resolve this special incident as quickly as possible. If everyone panics, it will only delay my efficiency."
Wang Dong felt that Yang Jian's methods were somewhat cruel, but he couldn't find any reason to refute them, so he had no choice but to accept the arrangement and nodded.
"Come with me for a walk," he said.
With Wang Dong by his side, he began to search the cabin, trying to find any suspicious people or things.
The appearance of ghosts is not without warning signs; it's not completely random.
It's just that ordinary people, in their panic, tend to overlook such subtle clues.
Watching the passengers sleeping, listening to music, or reading, everything seemed perfectly normal. Yang Jian didn't notice anything amiss. He thought it unlikely that any of the passengers was a ghost, since ghosts had already begun to stir.
"Can we only pinpoint its location when that ghost continues killing? Or has it sensed my presence and chosen to hide?" Yang Jian frowned; he didn't have a better method.
There's too little information, although the way the woman died suggests it was a paranormal event.
But signs of ghostly activity appeared only once.
Without a next attempt, this operation will not make any progress.
"Take off your sunglasses." Yang Jian walked up to a man whose clothes looked rather suspicious.
The passenger sat there wearing a hat and sunglasses that covered most of his face. He leaned back in his chair without moving, his body stiff, giving off a lifeless feeling.
His words went unanswered, and the passenger remained motionless.
Yang Jian reached out and took off his sunglasses.
Behind the sunglasses was a woman wearing heavy makeup, with thick dark circles under her eyes.
As soon as she took off her sunglasses, the woman said angrily, "What are you doing? Are you sick in the head? I finally fell asleep, and you woke me up like this."
"I just felt there was something wrong with you earlier, so I checked, but you seem perfectly fine now. Sorry," Yang Jian said calmly, handing her the sunglasses back.
Just as he was about to leave, the woman suddenly stood up and shouted, "Who are you calling a problem? You're a lunatic! You disturbed my sleep and then called me a problem. What did I do to you? Did you see me asleep and then try to take advantage of me?"
"I think you're a pervert."
The other passengers nearby all looked at Yang Jian when they heard what the woman said. Most of them were just watching the show, but a few people chimed in and pointed at him as well.
"Hey buddy, I've noticed you've been pacing around suspiciously. I don't know what you're up to, but I advise you to be more discreet," a rather burly man said with a hint of warning.
"These days, you see all sorts of people on airplanes. I never thought you'd only find people like this on buses."
Yang Jian's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unmoved.
When faced with paranormal events, he would be very restrained in controlling his emotions and keeping himself calm.
Wang Dong, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward and said, "I am the air marshal for this flight. My colleague and I were investigating a special case just now, and we hope all passengers will cooperate. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. As for what happened just now, our airline will explain it to the lady."
"So what if you're investigating a case? Do I look like a thief to you?" The woman became even more furious. "Why are you investigating me when you can investigate everyone else? Do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm a woman? I'm going to file a complaint against you."
Wang Dong wanted to explain, but Yang Jian stopped him, saying, "I think we should put this matter aside for now."
"Put it aside?" Wang Dong looked at him with some surprise. "Why is that?"
"It's nothing, I just want to take a break. I'll continue working in half an hour." Yang Jian checked the time and confirmed that they would start working in half an hour.
"Yang Jian, what if something goes wrong?" Wang Dong asked anxiously.
"At least there are no problems now." Yang Jian said, then turned and walked towards his first-class seat.
Seeing Yang Jian leave, the woman said again, "Don't you dare leave! Are you feeling guilty? Why aren't you continuing the investigation?"
"Well done, beautiful lady! You shouldn't be polite to this kind of person," someone praised the woman's actions.
"Heh, I've seen plenty of people like this. No skills, but plenty of bad intentions. And he's supposed to be handling cases? You can tell he's not. What's he pretending for?" The woman sat back down in her seat with a disdainful smile.
Wang Dong glanced at the female passenger, then at Yang Jian who had left, and felt somewhat at a loss.
"Yang Jian, what are you planning to do?" Qin Meirou's voice came through the satellite-guided phone. "You absolutely can't let us down at this crucial moment."
Her tone was very anxious, and she seemed to want to strangle the female passenger.
Every Ghost Tamer in a bad mental state, and Yang Jian is no exception. Although his emotions seem normal according to the data, Qin Meirou and Liu Xiaoyu know that Yang Jian is just restraining himself and is actually very dangerous at heart.
Yang Jian's voice was cold. "The identity of Ghost Tamer is not respectable. I have power but no status, which makes it difficult for me to carry out my work. Rather than offending people by taking precautions, I'd rather save people from despair and play the role of a savior. I plan to rest for half an hour to lure that ghost out, and I will not take any action during this time."
"Oh no!" Qin Meirou knew something was wrong as soon as she heard those words.
She understood Yang Jian's idea; he wanted to use the passengers on the plane as bait to lure the ghost out.
"What you're doing will kill a lot of people?"
Yang Jian said, "You're wrong. I didn't kill anyone. It was a ghost that killed people. What does that have to do with me? I'm not the murderer. Why are you accusing me? Why don't I leave and you take over? You can save whomever you want then. I have absolutely no objection."
Qin Meirou was speechless after being choked by that remark.
"But you are the person in charge of Dachang City," she said after a moment's hesitation.
Yang Jian suddenly laughed; "I'm only in charge of Dachang City. Besides, you haven't experienced any paranormal events, so it's easy for you to spout high-sounding words while sitting in your office. If I were sitting in front of the computer, I'd be typing louder than anyone else. If you talk to me like this again, I won't communicate with you anymore. Let Liu Xiaoyu handle it."
He now understood why Headquarters was implementing the Captain Plan.
Because the Ghost Tamer simply doesn't want to be managed by someone who only knows how to talk. If it weren't for the sake of Headquarters, the operator wouldn't even have the right to speak to them.
The essence of the Captain Plan is that the Ghost Tamer controls the Ghost Tamer.
The captain is the strongest Ghost Tamer.
This system at Headquarters is already being phased out.
"Brother Leg, what did you just say? What supernatural event? What ghost harming people? It sounds really scary." Wan Delu, who was sitting in first class, asked in surprise after hearing this conversation.
Yang Jian put down the phone and said, "Literally, this plane is currently haunted, and people have already died. My superiors have ordered me to handle it."
Haunted?
Wan Delu was stunned for a moment.
The sexy woman next to her couldn't help but chuckle, "A haunted plane? You've taken this joke a bit too far."
The man in the suit didn't say a word, but he did show a rather strange expression.
"You'll believe it when the time comes. Some things are hard to explain to you." Yang Jian sat back down, opened his bag, and began preparing some things.
Meanwhile...
A chilling aura gradually crept up from the cabin where Yang Jian had left.
The cabin lights suddenly dimmed, and the wiring seemed to be malfunctioning. The indicator lights on various electronic instruments flickered slightly, and even the cell phone signal was interfered with.
However, none of the passengers noticed.
Only Wang Dong was on patrol, noticed something amiss in his surroundings.
His expression immediately changed.
"A harbinger?" Wang Dong felt his hands and feet getting cold, and a strange chill ran through his body.
Yang Jian's words were true; the ghost was on the plane, and it's very likely that it has already infiltrated this cabin.
Without realizing it, he pulled out the pistol that Yang Jian had handed him earlier.
I don't know if it will work, but it gives me some courage.
However, no matter how carefully Wang Dong observed his surroundings, he still couldn't find the so-called ghost.
However, the surrounding light grew increasingly dim, and several lights even turned off on their own.
But the passengers didn't notice anything amiss, assuming someone was going to sleep, so the flight attendant dimmed the lights and turned some off.
"They've arrived."
Yang Jian, in another cabin, suddenly focused his gaze, sensing that something supernatural had appeared.
"W-what's here?" Wan Delu asked.
"A ghost," Yang Jian said calmly.
Wan Delu's heart skipped a beat. He looked towards the passenger cabin behind him, and his face immediately tensed up.
I don't know when, but the cabin behind us was now completely dark, as if a layer of gloom had settled over us. Even the lights seemed dim and dim, creating a stark contrast with the brightness here.
The bizarre change in the environment made Wan Delu subconsciously believe what Yang Jian had said earlier.
There might really be ghosts on this plane.
"It's just that the lights were dimmed a bit, does that mean it's haunted?" the man in the suit said strangely.
Yang Jian, "The appearance of ghosts usually affects the surrounding environment, but this is only the initial stage, indicating that the level of terror of the ghosts is not high. Once the ghosts continue to grow, or if a ghost with a higher level of terror appears, then this effect will deepen, causing hallucinations, or even changing the surrounding environment, forming a special space, which is what is called the Ghost Domain."
"If you think it's just that the lights are dimmed, try shining your phone's flashlight on them to see if it's a lighting issue or an environmental problem."
"Go ahead and take the picture. Do you think I'll be fooled by your few words?" Although the man in the suit felt that Yang Jian's identity was unusual, he still didn't believe it and immediately stood up and shone his phone light on him.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
The light seemed to disappear as soon as it shone on it, failing to illuminate the area in front of it at all.
The man in the suit continued walking forward, and only when he reached the entrance of the passageway did he realize with horror that the light from his phone had also dimmed, as if the light had been suppressed.
Startled, he quickly retreated.
Once they left that area, the phone's light returned to its bright state.
Is there really a ghost?
For a moment, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Moreover, Wan Delu also witnessed this scene and was so frightened that he hurriedly moved closer to Yang Jian.
"We'll have to wait a little longer." Yang Jian remained seated, motionless.
He knew that the ghost had not fully revealed itself yet, and the only way to pinpoint it was when it began killing people.
Once locked on, he will use every means to imprison the ghost.
Whether it will succeed or not depends on luck.
