Wang Jiang

Zhang Lei was panting heavily, exhausted.

He originally planned to take the elevator to the first floor, but the elevator malfunctioned halfway down and got stuck. He had no choice but to force open the elevator door and run down the stairs.

However, as a Ghost Tamer rarely exercises, his legs were so tired that he could barely stand when he arrived at the door.

They thought Lin Shan's incident might lead to even more serious consequences, but there was nothing unusual outside the door, except for a pure gold box being welded shut by several staff members.

"The problem is solved?" Zhang Lei's stiff expression faltered slightly.

As for Yang Jian, he stood beside the box, guarding against any possible accidents.

But as he retrieved the ghost rope, the ghost within Lin Shan's body was no longer suppressed. Even though it was inside the box, Yang Jian could still clearly hear the dull thuds coming from inside the box.

It looked as if someone was trapped inside, pounding on their surroundings, trying to escape.

Fortunately, the box was sturdy enough; it wasn't enough to break free.

During that time, another helicopter sped over from a distance.

Yang Jian glanced up and saw Shen Liang sitting in the cabin, clearly having rushed over overnight to receive the ghost.

When Shen Liang stepped off the helicopter and saw the box, he immediately felt relieved. He greeted Yang Jian with a big smile, saying, "Yang Jian, you really didn't disappoint me. You solved two paranormal cases on your first day in J City. No one can match your efficiency."

"This kind of thing can't happen again. I don't want to be cleaning up your messes all the time. This time, the Lin Shan incident was your mistake. How could someone who was about to become a vengeful ghost be so careless in making such arrangements? I'm afraid there won't be enough deaths in the end." Yang Jian looked at him calmly, without the slightest bit of joy.

"That's right, that's right. It was indeed a mistake on my part at work. You have to be understanding. With so many things to arrange and so many things to handle, it's inevitable that some oversights will occur. But I was also deceived by Lin Shan. He was clearly in a terrible state, but he acted as if nothing was wrong."

Shen Liang said somewhat embarrassedly, "As you know, Ghost Tamer never hide the fact that vengeful spirits have resurrected. They all hope that Headquarters can help resolve it as soon as possible. Lin Shan's situation is quite rare, but it is precisely because of his special circumstances that we misjudged the situation."

"But now, it's a pity."

Looking at the box, he sighed, "If Lin Shan had been trained, he would have become a very outstanding Ghost Tamer, but I never expected him to perish here."

"Oh, right, let's not talk about that now. You guys take the boxes back first," Shen Liang then instructed the staff.

Yang Jian remained silent, only tapping the box lightly to signal the staff to put it down. He then said, "I took care of Lin Shan for you, so what about my overtime pay? Don't tell me I didn't prepare. It'll be a few days later; those excuses won't work on me."

"Of course, it's only right to pay overtime." Shen Liang's expression shifted slightly, then he gestured to his entourage.

Soon, a suitcase was taken down.

After Shen Liang took it, he walked over, opened the briefcase, and showed it to Yang Jian.

There were three white ghost candles and one red ghost candle inside.

"Don't say I don't care. These three white ghost candles are for overtime pay this time, and the red ones are what Professor Wang owed you last time. I took some time during the day to go to the lab and ask Professor Wang for them. Don't worry, I'll treat you the same as always, and there will be absolutely no discrimination," Shen Liang said earnestly.

Yang Jian retorted directly, "It's mine to begin with. The way you're saying it makes it sound like I'm inviting you to dinner."

"You're joking. I should be the one treating you to dinner. You've solved a lot of trouble for me, but I was afraid you wouldn't do me the honor," Shen Liang said with a smile.

If Yang Jian doesn't deal with Lin Shan this time, he will inevitably be dismissed and investigated, since this is a clear work mistake and definitely not as simple as an accident.

"I'm busy lately, and unless something happens in Dachang City, I won't be handling any paranormal cases for the foreseeable future. I'm letting you know in advance to avoid any complaints about me not following instructions. So you'd better ask someone else to fill in for me."

Yang Jian stared at him, very seriously, and said, "If you insist on assigning me tasks, I don't mind resigning. Whatever trouble I cause will be your responsibility."

Shen Liang's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, then he smiled and said, "Yang Jian, you're exaggerating. But you've certainly worked hard handling two supernatural incidents in one day, and you should take a good rest. Don't worry, I promise I won't assign you any tasks or send you on any more business trips during your time in J City. After all, you have training and an awards ceremony in a couple of days, and I don't want to trouble you at that time."

At this point, he changed the subject, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I can make the decision to decline small matters for you, but if something serious happens, Headquarters doesn't have many capable people to step up. After all, nobody wants a repeat of the situation in Dachang City, right?"

The implication is that something big has happened, and you, Ghost Eye Yang Jian, have to step in; no one else can do it.

Yang Jian squinted at Shen Liang: "If something really serious happens, I don't mind taking over, but I want to know, once my vengeful spirit is revived, who at Headquarters can deal with me? Judging from my current situation, my Ghost Domain can easily cover most of Dachang City. Once I'm revived, my Ghost Domain will probably increase tenfold, or even dozens of times."

"And this is only the power of a mere ghost."

Upon hearing this, Shen Liang's face immediately froze.

He hadn't considered this issue because he was focused on Yang Jian's ability to resolve the Starvation Ghost Incident, and he hadn't failed even once so far. Therefore, the problem of the vengeful ghost's resurgence was selectively ignored.

Now that this topic has come up, he suddenly realizes that if Yang Jian dies from the resurrection of a vengeful ghost, it seems that no one at Headquarters can handle it.

"Captain Shen, you should reconsider. Maybe I wasn't the top Ghost Tamer in Headquarters when I was alive, but if I die, I don't think S-class is enough to define me. It has to be SS -S-class." Yang Jian patted his shoulder, looking very sincere.

"I understand." Shen Liang gave him a deep look, his emotions somewhat complicated.

Yang Jian speaks casually, but in reality, he exudes a suffocating terror.

"That's all for today. I need to go back and rest, so I won't bother Captain Shen any longer," Yang Jian said, holding his briefcase.

The reason he took on this mission was actually to prepare some resources for controlling the third ghost.

Since Yang Jian didn't know what his third ghost was, he was prepared.

Soon.

Shen Liang left in a helicopter with the box containing Lin Shan's body.

Meanwhile, a number of vehicles suddenly appeared on the nearby quiet streets, including ambulances and fire trucks. They began to organize manpower to prepare for the rescue of the Ping An Hotel and some follow-up work.

To prevent accidents, Zhang Lei was responsible for patrolling.

As a result, Yang Jian was unable to return to the hotel to rest and could only sit outside the hotel waiting for the matter to end.

"Yang Jian."

Suddenly, a young man with a solemn expression walked over from the crowd. "My Wang Jiang."

Yang Jian, who was sitting on a lounge chair playing on his phone, slightly raised his head and asked, "Do I know you?"

"The Lin Shan who died before was my classmate. We became Ghost Tamer around the same time," Wang Jiang said after a moment's hesitation.

"Alumni? That means we're acquaintances. Is it because I dealt with Lin Shan's matter that you want revenge? Well, I really don't mind revenge. If you want, we can do it right away. Shen Liang's helicopter hasn't gone far yet, so preparing an extra box won't be difficult."

Yang Jian put down his phone, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Wang Jiang hurriedly said, "No, don't misunderstand. I also have some personal grudges with that Lin Shan, so I wanted to thank you. Because you successfully dealt with Lin Shan, it's like you did me a favor. And it's also a good thing that he didn't manage to control the second ghost."

"Really? Then this Lin Shan really doesn't know how to behave. His classmates are all hoping he's dead." Yang Jian chuckled lightly, "What heinous thing did he do?"

Wang Jiang's face turned somewhat grim as he said, "The most beautiful girl in my department, whom I have a crush on, has gone missing."

"You think it was Lin Shan who killed him?" Yang Jian.

"It wasn't just one; several girls at school who had been pursued by Wang Jiang have disappeared. Because no bodies could be found and no evidence could be found, no one believed he was the murderer. But I know it must be him."

Wang Jiang took a deep breath. "Because who else has this ability besides him? I confronted him before, but he denied it and almost killed me."

"Being murdered by someone you secretly love is indeed a very tragic and infuriating thing. To confront them and almost get killed yourself, no one could bear that."

Yang Jian, "When I was on the eighteenth floor, I saw many corpses floating on the water. Some of the female corpses were highly decomposed, but judging from their clothing, they were relatively young girls. You might be able to identify them."

"Although I don't know if you can still recognize it, at least after confirming it, you can figure out the truth of the matter in your mind. But be careful not to throw up, after all, that scene is still a bit hard for a novice like you to accept."

"Thanks."

Wang Jiang thanked him and then hurriedly ran into the hotel.

Seeing him like that, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.

Others are willing to go to such lengths for their crushes; what simple reasons they have for doing so.

Perhaps this is love.

Unlike myself, I have no feelings or desires, and I simply can't love.
