You're a Good Person
Really.
The real Yang Jian is even more of a headache than the Yang Jian on the phone.
After a brief encounter, Liu Xiaoyu's expression towards Yang Jian became very strange. If this kind of person wasn't Ghost Tamer, he would definitely starve to death in society, and he would absolutely never have a girlfriend.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, driver. Let's go, take Yang Jian to the hotel," Liu Xiaoyu said.
The driver in front had just started the car when Yang Jian, "We haven't even gotten in yet, what's the rush?"
"Hmm?" Liu Xiaoyu tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
But then she realized that the scenery around her had blurred, and she didn't know when she had ended up sitting on a nearby bench, no longer inside the car.
"No wonder the driver hasn't made a sound from now until now." Liu Xiaoyu bit her lip after realizing what had happened. "You actually used your Ghost Domain to get me out of the car? When did you do that?"
"When I kicked you, did you think I was really kicking you for show? I kicked open the sunroof on the roof." Yang Jian stood up calmly.
He saw that the sunroof of the car not far away was broken.
Liu Xiaoyu also stood up. "Aren't you being too cautious? This is J City, and you're using the Ghost Domain for such a small matter? Aren't you afraid that your own ghostly resurrection will come sooner than expected?"
She opened her eyes wide, feeling that Yang Jian was so meticulous in his work that it bordered on paranoia.
"If you make a mistake, at most you'll lose your job and get punished. But if I make a mistake, I could die," Yang Jian said, looking at her. "You should get used to my way of doing things; it will be good for you."
He has made many mistakes and almost died in several paranormal events. The reason he has survived until now is because he has been constantly reducing his mistakes.
"There are no paranormal events in J City for you to handle, so don't be so nervous. You're making me jumpy," Liu Xiaoyu said.
"Get in the car."
Yang Jian ignored her, gestured to Wan Delu, and then walked towards the car.
Liu Xiaoyu puffed out her cheeks slightly, looked at him with a hint of helplessness, and finally quickly followed after him.
The vehicle is driving on the road.
J City is several times more bustling than other cities, so Yang Jian and his group got stuck in traffic.
On the road.
Liu Xiaoyu gave a brief itinerary. "Your itinerary for this trip to J City is roughly as follows: two days of rest, and starting the day after tomorrow, someone will pick you up and take you to the Ghost Tamer Training Base. Since Sun Yi already assessed your mental state last time, you don't need to undergo that assessment again, but the relevant training is still necessary."
"It won't take too long, probably around seven days."
"After the training is completed, you will go to Headquarters to receive an award. The minister, Deputy Minister, and several team leaders from Headquarters will be present."
"Afterwards, someone will take you on a tour of the research institute. You can ask any questions you may have, and the staff there will help you answer them."
"Once you leave the research institute, your trip to J City will be over. You can return to Dachang City and stay there for an extended period. If you have any questions, just let me know now, and I can answer them for you. If you have any special requests, I can also apply for them for you and try my best to meet them."
She held a charter report, reading it as she spoke.
"Seven days of training? That's too long, I refuse." Yang Jian frowned and said, "I don't want to waste my time at any training base."
"This is necessary. So far, no Ghost Tamer has ever been in charge of a city without training," Liu Xiaoyu said. "Moreover, during the training process, a lot of information that you don't know will be revealed to you, which will be very helpful."
"Believe me, the training is truly meaningful. Headquarters fully understands the importance of time for every Ghost Tamer, but many Ghost Tamer are created by accident and are unaware of many aspects of paranormal events. Headquarters has already compiled some relevant information and invited several experienced Ghost Tamer to serve as instructors."
"Experience and knowledge are helpful to any individual."
Yang Jian, "Can't we shorten the time?"
"No, seven days is the minimum. The training time can only be extended, not reduced. The course is also very intensive within these seven days, Ghost Tamer are only allowed half a day of rest in between," Liu Xiaoyu said.
"What if I refuse?" Yang Jian.
Liu Xiaoyu's eyes flickered, and she whispered in his ear, "Don't be stubborn now. Trust me this once. Follow orders during your time in J City. The Captain Plan has already begun, and I hope you can be selected. If you make a mistake now, it will be a huge loss for you."
"Why?" Yang Jian suddenly looked at her.
"What?"
"Why would you want me to be the captain? I remember you weren't very friendly to me at first."
Liu Xiaoyu's gaze darted away as she asked, "You want to live, right?"
"That's natural."
"Since you want to live, I think you should live. Although you are cold-blooded, ruthless, selfish, and a bit perverted, I know you are a good person," Liu Xiaoyu said.
Yang Jian: "Even though I'm like this in your eyes, am I still considered a good person?"
"You saved Dachang City," Liu Xiaoyu said.
"That's because I was also involved in that incident," Yang Jian.
"You saved Z City," Liu Xiaoyu said.
Yang Jian, "I did it for revenge. That ghost killed my classmate."
Liu Xiaoyu said earnestly, "I believe in you. No one is more suitable to be the captain than you. You have the potential."
"That doesn't sound like something you'd say," Yang Jian.
"It wasn't me who said it, it was Zhao Jianguo, Captain Zhao. He has always had a very high opinion of you, and I trust Captain Zhao's judgment. He's never wrong in judging people. He's managed many Ghost Tamer during his tenure, but he's always paid special attention to you," Liu Xiaoyu said.
Yang Jian casually remarked, "Maybe he's blind."
As the two were talking, the car had already stopped in front of a hotel building. Wan Delu didn't say a word on the way; he was just trembling as he clutched the antique bottle that used to belong to him, afraid that the contents of the bottle might accidentally escape.
Actually, his fear was unnecessary.
It's almost impossible for a ghost sealed inside gold to escape.
At least Yang Jian has never seen a ghost that has been imprisoned and then managed to escape on its own.
Because gold blocks the ghost's senses, even if someone fits the ghost's target, the ghost won't take any action because it can't sense them.
That is why most of the imprisoned ghosts are very quiet.
"Is this the place?" Yang Jian looked up slightly at the multi-story hotel.
That's luxurious enough.
"I won't go up with you. I need to report back to Headquarters. Remember to call me if anything happens; this is my personal number." Liu Xiaoyu gave Yang Jian a business card and smiled. "Remember, don't cause trouble. Also, try your best to survive and believe in yourself."
"I feel like you're even more nagging than my mother," Yang Jian said coldly, accepting the business card.
"Bye-bye." Liu Xiaoyu waved and followed the car out of sight.
Standing at the hotel entrance, Wan Lude cautiously asked, "This young lady seems to be very nice to you. Is she your girlfriend?"
"No," Yang Jian said.
"Isn't she quite cute? You could consider it. She's much better than those flashy, vulgar women out there. You won't regret marrying her," Wan Delu said with an awkward smile.
"Who would dare marry someone from Headquarters? Would you dare? I certainly wouldn't. I don't want all my secrets to be exposed." Yang Jian had just finished speaking when he noticed a waitress walking over behind him.
"Hello, are Yang Jian. Yang Jian?" the waitress asked politely and respectfully.
Yang Jian nodded.
"Your room is ready. Would you like some help with your luggage?"
"No need, I can do it myself. Just take me to the guest room," Yang Jian said, picking up the duffel bag at his feet.
"Okay, please follow me."
Yang Jian walked towards the hotel. To be honest, he still had a bit of a phobia about staying in hotels. He almost died in a hotel during the Z City incident last time. He was lucky that he wasn't chosen as the ghost's first target, which gave him time to turn the situation around.
Ping An Hotel!
"I wonder if it's really safe," Yang Jian thought to himself, looking at the hotel sign.
