Ghost Restricting Ghosts
Outside the Ping An Hotel.
A dozen or so people of all kinds gathered together. They had indifferent expressions and strange demeanors. Some stood, some squatted, without saying a word, appearing unusually quiet.
The drivers of the occasional passing cars glanced over curiously, seemingly wondering why a group of people would be gathered here at around four in the morning. Could it be that a fire had broken out at the Ping An Hotel, and these people had escaped from the hotel?
The driver slowed down, glanced up slightly, but didn't notice anything amiss.
"That's strange." He looked away, ignored it, and continued driving past.
However, just after the driver drove past, he subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. In the mirror, he saw a pale-faced man who had strangely turned his head 180 degrees, his numb and lifeless eyes seemingly staring straight at him.
His slightly thin body remained frozen in place, and the others around him seemed unresponsive, showing no curiosity whatsoever.
The surroundings were utterly silent; in the dim light of the early morning, the scene appeared eerie and terrifying.
The driver suddenly realized something, his face changed instantly, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he slammed on the gas, fleeing the area as if his life depended on it.
"I heard from Headquarters that Zhang Lei and Yang Jian have been sent to deal with that Ghost Tamer named Lin Shan."
At the quiet hotel entrance, a man slowly turned his head and said in a slightly indifferent tone.
"So Yang Jian was sent after all? It seems the situation is worse than we thought. That Lin Shan has most likely been resurrected as a vengeful ghost, otherwise Headquarters wouldn't be taking it so seriously." A young man sneered for some reason, "So Lin Shan is finally dead? Good riddance. If he hadn't died, I wouldn't have had any fun as a ghost."
His Wang Jiang, and he and Lin Shan are alumni of the same school. There seems to be some grudge or dispute between the two.
"That Lin Shan has indeed likely recovered. Look, even the security around here has been lifted, and all the hotel staff have left. There's no one around, which shows that Headquarters has made preparations to isolate this area." Someone glanced around and immediately assessed the current situation.
It's not that Headquarters won't provide support at times like this, but rather that ordinary support is completely useless. Only after the situation is resolved will personnel from the vicinity be able to enter.
"Wang Jiang, since you and Lin Shan are so familiar with each other, do you think this matter will escalate?"
Wang Jiang glanced at the person who spoke, "This is a very stupid question. Causing trouble in J City is suicidal. I'm sure if Lin Shan can't handle it, the Headquarters will send even more top-tier Ghost Tamer, and more than one, just to resolve this as quickly as possible."
While these people were discussing amongst themselves...
Suddenly, something seemed to fall from the sky above the hotel, and before anyone could react, it slammed heavily onto the ground in front of them with a loud bang.
"What is that?" someone exclaimed in surprise, immediately becoming alert.
"It looks like a corpse," someone whispered a warning. "Don't go near it, something's definitely wrong inside the hotel."
At this moment, the body that had fallen from the sky lay motionless on the ground. Although it had been badly injured, it was still recognizable as a swollen and pale corpse that had been submerged in water, and not one that had died directly from the fall.
Near the corpse, a foul-smelling liquid gradually spread.
At first, people thought it was just blood, but soon someone realized something was wrong because the water was spreading quite quickly in the vicinity.
"It's Lin Shan." Wang Jiang's expression suddenly changed when he saw the man's clothes clearly, and he shouted in a low voice, "Stay away from this guy, don't get any water coming out of that corpse."
What?
Is he Lin Shan?
Depend on.
Someone cursed under their breath and quickly backed away.
Lin Shan is definitely dead after falling from such a height. His death will surely cause the vengeful ghost to resurrect, confirming it as a supernatural event. Previously, they had held onto a sliver of hope that Lin Shan might not actually become a vengeful ghost.
"Where's Zhang Lei? Oh right, where's Yang Jian? Wasn't he dealing with Lin Shan? Now that his body is lying in front of this hotel, isn't he going to do anything about it?" someone shouted.
But he hadn't finished speaking.
A strange red light descended from the sky and illuminated the nearby ground. A young man with a cold expression and slightly sinister eyes suddenly appeared before them.
"Who's shouting and yelling?" Yang Jian's eyes flickered as he glanced at the crowd.
The person who had just spoken immediately fell silent, shutting their mouth and not daring to respond, a look of panic and unease flashing in their eyes.
Is this person Ghost Eye Yang Jian?
"You're all talk and no action, yet you don't offer any help. If you don't want to participate, just be a quiet spectator and stop wasting your breath."
Yang Jian coldly withdrew his gaze, then strode towards Lin Shan's corpse in front of him.
He took a closer look.
Without a doubt.
With this fall, Lin Shan was completely dead. His head was flattened, and his bloated body was cracked in all directions. However, some of his broken pieces were soaking in the foul-smelling water, pooling together to form a small pool of water, and the rate of formation far exceeded that of before, as if it were trying to create a new eerie place.
Moreover, as Yang Jian approached further, Lin Shan's previously motionless corpse suddenly began to writhe strangely.
Beneath the bloated, tattered skin, something terrifying and eerie seemed to be brewing, constantly tearing away a layer of obstruction, eager to be exposed to everyone.
The vengeful spirit is rising again.
However.
An old straw rope was wrapped around it, and although the mutilated corpse was writhing, it was so entangled that the thing inside could not break free.
The ghost rope worked, successfully trapping the ghost within Lin Shan's body that was about to awaken.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, the ghost rope has prevented the ghost from continuing to revive, but as a price, the ghost rope itself has not revived either. Otherwise, countless straw ropes strong enough to hang people would be hanging down from the sky above the city where Yang Jian is located.
"Using ghosts to control ghosts is safer than Ghost Tamer directly contacting ghosts. Even if it fails, there will be no risk. Moreover, the limits of ghosts far exceed those of Ghost Tamer, so there is no need to worry about dying. Indeed, this is the right way to solve paranormal events." Yang Jian did not approach, but stood aside and observed carefully.
"But the biggest challenge with this method is how to control a ghost without endangering oneself?"
"If we consider ghosts as a tool, the key is how to acquire and use that tool."
Yang Jian suddenly remembered things like coffin nails and ghost mirrors he had encountered before. These strange items were special tools for Ghost Tamer, only the way they were used by their original owners was different, just like the ghost rope in his hand now.
"The ghost inside Lin Shan's body didn't escape; Yang Jian successfully restrained that thing." Wang Jiang, who was some distance away, saw that Yang Jian was so close and had stood there for a full three or four minutes without being attacked, and his eyes widened in surprise.
This was a resurrected ghost! And it was just disposed of like that?
Unbelievable, truly unbelievable.
If this ghost were to come back to life, and it were up to them to deal with it, the dozen or so people present would likely all perish.
Because if the puddles of water drown a person, they can be turned into Ghost Slave. But if the Ghost Tamer drowns in it, the number of ghosts in the water will increase, and the level of terror will rise sharply. If this situation continues, it is estimated that no one will be able to deal with this thing.
Wang Jiang was well aware of this, so he would never directly contact Lin Shan's ghost, nor did he recommend that other Ghost Tamer without the necessary skills do so, lest they harm themselves and others.
"I need a box."
After observing for a moment and confirming that the ghost rope had worked, Yang Jian spoke into his satellite-guided phone.
"We'll arrange it immediately."
Upon hearing this, he realized that Shen Liang was in charge of communications and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This means that Lin Shan's situation has been resolved.
Soon, the sound of armed helicopters could be heard in the sky.
Clearly, Headquarters had made preparations in advance; containers were already prepared nearby, just waiting for things to be resolved here.
