A Strange Invitation

The rescue operation was swift; within just ten minutes, all passengers on board were rescued, and then the pilot and the bodies of the passengers were also brought off the plane.

None of the people were allowed to leave; instead, they were placed nearby.

There is still one more thing to investigate.

Yang Jian saw another person in charge board the plane at the very end.

He didn't recognize the person, and had no recollection of them at all, but there was no doubt that the person was also a Ghost Tamer.

Yang Jian ignored it and didn't ask. He wasn't interested in how many Ghost Tamer there were in J City. He came here to achieve his own goal. Once he achieved his goal, he would return to Dachang City and continue living his life as a gang leader. If he was lucky, he could live a good life for a while.

Inside the rest shed.

The Ghost Tamer named Zhong Shan, sitting next to Guo Fan, looked at Yang Jian with considerable interest. "Although this is just a supernatural event, codenamed 'Ghost Pinching Person,' classified as a C-class incident, it may seem like a trivial matter, but I know it's definitely not that simple."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have spent almost an hour."

"Others think it's easy because they're not Ghost Tamer. They assume that since you've solved S-class paranormal events, this C-class minor incident is a piece of cake. So even Captain Shen naturally assumes you'll succeed this time. Headquarters also believes you won't fail, which is why they had you resolve the Ghost Pinching Person incident on the spot, instead of having you use the Ghost Domain to escape with all the passengers."

"This is forcing you to take risks."

Zhong Shan chuckled softly at this point, "That's why I loathe that kind of thinking. You see, every time we deal with that stuff, it's a life-or-death struggle. Those who succeed are sitting here enjoying the breeze and drinking tea, while those who fail have graves overgrown with weeds."

"What do you want to say?" Yang Jian asked, frowning slightly.

Zhong Shan gently tapped the table. "I think this situation of being used as a pawn, constantly putting out fires and getting things done, and not even getting any thanks, needs to change. We are human, but also ghosts, and in a sense, we are even saviors. So the real situation should be that they are asking us for favors, not that we are being commanded by them."

"We have the right to decide everyone's life or death, so we should also have a sufficiently high status and power."

"Only those who survive have the right to say these things. You can think about being a savior after you've solved your problem of the resurrected vengeful spirit," Yang Jian said calmly.

He sensed a madness deep within Zhong Shan, a desire to transcend society and the existing system.

"Do you know about the Captain Plan?" Zhong Shan suddenly asked again.

Yang Jian, "I heard Wang Xiaoming mention that he wants to use national resources to train a group of top-notch Ghost Tamer."

"That's one point." Zhong Shan smiled. "The real purpose is to use the Captain Plan to control the increasing number of civilian Ghost Tamer, from small clubs founded by Ghost Tamer in various places to top domestic Ghost Tamer organizations, such as Supernatural Forum. These people are all potential threats."

"What does this have to do with me?" Yang Jian. "Just say what your purpose is. I don't like beating around the bush."

Zhong Shan said, "I know some like-minded people. If we unite, we'll have enough influence to secure a captain's position. If we succeed, it will benefit everyone, whether it's resource allocation, intelligence sharing, or mutual assistance. In short, it will greatly help our future survival."

"You want me to work for you?" Yang Jian suddenly laughed. "Can you afford the price?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstand. I really can't afford Ghost Eye Yang Jian's price. After all, you are also a popular candidate for captain. Wang Xiaoming recommended you, and your resume is indeed outstanding, unique in the country. The incident in Dachang City alone is enough to convince many people to vote for you."

Zhong Shan quickly waved his hand and said very sincerely, "But there's always an exception. Some things you can't get just by working hard enough. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Just like this bullet, it's insignificant. Nobody would think a bullet could pose much of a threat." He took out a golden bullet and placed it on the table.

Yang Jian glanced at it, frowned, and said, "You think I'm just an insignificant bullet?"

"No, you are important, you just lack a few accessories, like this empty gun." Zhong Shan took out another pistol and placed it next to him, then loaded the bullet into the empty gun.

"With a bullet loaded, it's enough to make anyone obey, no matter who it's aimed at. No one dares to ignore this threat."

Zhong Shan raised his pistol, pointed it at Shen Liang in the distance, and a strange smile appeared on his lips, "Because of disobedience, you must die. If we work together, we can do anything we want, but if we're scattered, a bullet and an empty gun are just useless accessories; they can't do anything."

"Once the Captain Plan is implemented, we will be at their mercy, so we need to make sure that someone in the team becomes the captain."

"How many people did you invite?" Yang Jian asked.

Zhong Shan said, "The number of people isn't important; what matters is whether our influence is significant enough. Currently, there are five people; if you're included, it will be six."

"Are you really that unconfident about becoming a candidate for the Captain Plan?" Yang Jian asked.

"The chances are indeed slim, because there are very few positions available, and some people have already been decided. There are probably no more than three people who can actually compete for them," Zhong Shan said.

Three positions?

Yang Jian's expression darkened; this was indeed too little.

"Yang Jian, Zhong Shan invited you because you are indeed influential, but that influence isn't enough. You should listen to Zhong Shan's opinion. I originally thought he wouldn't invite you, but I didn't expect him to still do so," Guo Fan said with a stern face.

"I refuse," Yang Jian said suddenly after thinking for a moment.

Zhong Shan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. It's not too late to decide after some time. We still have time now."

He believed that Yang Jian's refusal was due to the instinctive wariness of Ghost Tamer, and that a decision should only be made after Yang Jian had learned about the situation during his time in J City.

Yang Jian remained silent.

There is too little information; he needs a comprehensive understanding before he can assess the current situation.

Doing nothing at this point is the best course of action, because that way you won't make a mistake.

About twenty minutes later, a staff member suddenly rushed over. "The source of this incident has been found, but the situation is a bit strange. We hope you can go and take a look."

"Hmm?" Yang Jian suddenly raised his head.

There are quite a few talented people at this Headquarters. They've solved everything and even found the source of the paranormal activity.
