Ghost Eater Zhang Lei

"This hotel is great! The view is amazing, overlooking J City. The rooms are spacious, it's the top-class presidential suite. You're getting some good treatment, Brother Leg. Normally it costs over 80,000 a day, even I wouldn't dare to stay here."

After putting down the bottle, Wan Delu breathed a sigh of relief and looked around Yang Jian's large guest room with an air of familiarity.

With his wealth, he could definitely afford to live here. The reason he did this was simply to deliberately get closer to him, with a hint of flattery.

To rise from nothing to become the CEO of a listed company, one may not have many other skills, but their interpersonal and social skills are definitely not lacking.

"You'd better keep your voice down, or you might disturb the downstairs neighbors who might come up with a cleaver and attack you." Yang Jian opened his duffel bag, organizing the weapons inside, and also took the golden box containing the human skin paper with him.

From now on, he won't leave this thing's side for even a moment.

It stems from both distrust of the human-made paper and distrust of the environment here.

"It can't be that exaggerated, can it?" Wan Delu was slightly surprised.

Yang Jian, "The Ping An Hotel is located in a prime location in J City. Didn't you notice that the moment you entered the hotel?"

"What did you find?"

"There are very few people staying here, and business is very slow, which is not normal at all. Moreover, the security guards and service staff don't seem like ordinary people; they seem like well-trained secret agents. Furthermore, since the higher-ups arranged for me to stay here, it means that none of the people staying at this hotel are human."

"They might all Ghost Tamer like me."

Yang Jian took out his sidearm, carried it with him, and then put his luggage away before walking over. "Besides, the other Ghost Tamer aren't as easy to deal with as I am. They're all a bit off their minds, and if they're provoked, who knows what they might do, especially when they see you're just an ordinary person."

There are indeed cold-blooded, murderous Ghost Tamer. They are influenced by vengeful spirits on one hand, and driven to madness by fear on the other, making them somewhat abnormal.

Yang Jian believed that his consciousness had remained perfectly clear until now, which was where he slightly surpassed other Ghost Tamer.

However, this is only for now. He cannot avoid being affected by the vengeful ghost. Now, as his body deteriorates, the vengeful ghost's instincts have begun to have some influence.

Therefore, he needs to solve this problem during his trip to J City.

"No, it can't be that scary, can it?" Wan Delu's heart, which had just calmed down, jumped up again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Terrified, Wan Delu hid behind the sofa, lying on the floor trembling like a salted fish.

"You're too timid. Hiding won't help if someone really tries to kill you," Yang Jian said, ignoring the warning and walking over to open the door.

He peeked through the peephole from the doorway.

There was no one outside.

But the knocking continued.

Yang Jian frowned. If it weren't for the unusual frequency of the knocking, he would have thought he was being Ghost Knocking again.

"No one's home, but there's knocking on the door? What's going on? Isn't J City supposed to be free of paranormal events? Am I just unlucky and this is the first time I've encountered one? Or is someone playing a prank?"

I thought about it for a moment.

The knocking continued; it seemed someone had been standing outside.

Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly, and with a hint of wariness, he opened the door anyway.

He simply didn't believe that there could be any supernatural events at the Heping Hotel in J City. He still had some confidence in the Headquarters' capabilities; they couldn't possibly be unable to cover things up even in J City.

I had seen through the peephole that there was no one outside, but as the door opened, an ordinary-looking man stood there with a stiff smile, looking as eerily like a corpse.

"Ghosts? No, Ghost Tamer."

Yang Jian recognized this person's identity at first glance.

"Is there something you need?"

"Hello, my name is Zhang Lei. I came to J City specifically to participate in training. I heard that Ghost Eye Yang Jian just checked into a hotel, so I came to pay him a visit out of curiosity. I hope I haven't caused you any inconvenience."

The man, who identified himself as Zhang Lei, introduced himself.

Zhang Lei?

Yang Jian recalled the information on the Ghost Tamer at Headquarters.

"Zhang Lei Ghost Eater"

Suddenly, he recalled a file and immediately squinted, saying, "The file says you're special; you can devour other ghosts just by controlling one."

"I never expected you'd actually seen my file." A hint of surprise appeared on Zhang Lei's pale, stiff face.

"I've encountered the ability to eat ghosts before, but they weren't human," Yang Jian said.

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "The Starvation Ghost Incident in Dachang City? It is indeed somewhat similar to mine. That's why I'd like to ask you about some things."

"I don't have time today, let's do it tomorrow." Yang Jian neither refused nor agreed, but chose to delay.

"Alright, I'll visit you tomorrow. Sorry for bothering you earlier." Zhang Lei's stiff smile twitched twice before he managed to suppress it before turning to leave.

Yang Jian's expression shifted. "He can't even control his facial expressions anymore? He's practically a completely stiff corpse. His condition is terrible."

Ghost Eater?

Only starving ghosts can eat ghosts, and only human skin paper can swallow ghosts.

What gives Zhang Lei, as Ghost Tamer, the right to eat ghosts? Does he really think ghosts are just a dish to be eaten whenever he wants? Even if Ghost Tamer randomly puts ghosts into his body, it's not as simple as controlling two or three ghosts; it's death.

Although the file didn't mention Zhang Lei's ability to eat ghosts, it didn't affect Yang Jian's judgment.

There are only two possibilities: either the vengeful ghost deliberately allowed him to live, or, like Zhao Kaiming, intentionally collected vengeful ghosts, ultimately to brew an even more terrifying existence.

Either their abilities are indeed powerful, but they're only used a few times before the vengeful spirit resurrects.

In either case, one should avoid excessive contact with Zhang Lei, as it will only bring trouble and no benefit.

"He was relatively polite to me, is it because I imprisoned a starving ghost that also had the ability to devour ghosts?" Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly. "He is both wary of me and wants to find a way to solve the problem of the revival of vengeful ghosts from me."

"It seems I'm not the only one in this situation."

Then he thought about his own situation.

It has the same potential problems, and it is constantly approaching the brink of death.

Of all these Ghost Tamer, only heaven knows how many will survive.

After closing the door, Yang Jian decided to deal with the matter on Wan Delu first.

He also revealed the information he wanted.
