Visiting

After daybreak, Yang Jian left the Ping An Hotel in a taxi.

He had some personal matters to attend to and couldn't waste time in the hotel. As for Zhang Lei's request to ask about limiting the resurgence of vengeful spirits, frankly, he didn't want to bother with it.

He wasn't deliberately playing tricks on others; he was simply powerless and incompetent.

Based on the various intelligence Yang Jian come across so far, the resurgence of vengeful spirits remains an unsolvable problem.

Humans can only control other ghosts to restrain the vengeful spirits and prolong the time of their resurrection, but this cannot solve the root problem. Zhang Lei possesses what appears to be the ability to devour ghosts, somewhat similar to the ability of starving ghosts, but the consequences of this ability will certainly be enormous.

This is definitely beyond the scope of Yang Jian's capabilities.

"This is it, driver, could you please pull over?" Yang Jian said.

The taxi stopped in a busy area of the city center.

Here, skyscrapers abound, and crowds surge, with people from all over the country converging here, making the already overpopulated J City even more crowded.

"The number of people is somewhat unreasonable."

Yang Jian stood by the roadside, watching the endless stream of people around him, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although he had never been to J City, the population density of a city should not be this high.

There is only one possible explanation.

Paranormal events occur frequently around the world. J City is one of the few safe cities in the world. Anyone who knows the inside story will definitely choose to live in J City as soon as possible. Although it is not explicitly revealed, this is actually a potential signal.

Although most paranormal events are now suppressed, there are always survivors. After surviving, they confirm that the paranormal events are real and exist around them. This gradually spreads and has undoubtedly influenced many people in secret.

Recently, when he uses his mobile phone to go online, some self-media and news outlets have started reporting on paranormal events, which has led to an increase in news about horror movies, horror novels, and even some folk ghost stories.

As for whether ghosts really exist in the world?

Are paranormal events real?

Questions like these have even trended on social media, leading some online celebrities and livestreamers to start telling ghost stories and even sharing superstitious knowledge about how to catch and deal with ghosts.

"Ping An Building."

Yang Jian couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the name of the building.

Do all the people at Headquarters choose their names like this?

He didn't have any particular reason for coming here; he simply wanted to visit his mother.

Since he became Ghost Tamer, Headquarters arranged for his mother to work at the Ping An Building in J City.

It's a formal employer with six types of insurance and one housing fund. I've heard the salary and benefits are pretty good, and of course, safety is the most important thing.

Yang Jian tacitly approved of the Headquarters' actions because he thought that if he died, his mother would at least have a job to support herself and a safe environment. As it turned out, his previous thinking was correct.

Because Dachang City was indeed unsafe at that time, with a series of supernatural events occurring, and countless ordinary people involved disappeared.

"Hello, sir, please stop here. Without a pass, entry and exit from our company is prohibited." Before Yang Jian could even step inside, two very serious-looking security guards at the door stopped him.

Yang Jian looked up and glanced at it briefly.

These two security guards were clearly not ordinary people. Judging from their physique and demeanor, they had undergone specialized training. Rather than security guards, they were more like special forces soldiers in disguise.

He didn't know whether he was carrying a gun.

"I don't have a pass, but this should prove my identity, right?" Yang Jian took out his identification, which belonged to the person in charge.

This document is essentially a fake to ordinary people, serving no purpose whatsoever. However, in real situations, it is more useful than anything else.

After taking the ID and checking it, a security guard said, "Please wait a moment, I need to verify it."

"Okay." Yang Jian nodded.

The security guard returned quickly a few minutes after leaving; "Hello, Yang Jian, you can go in now. This is your temporary pass, valid for only one day, it will expire after that."

He returned the documents and gave her a temporary printed pass with Yang Jian's information on it.

"I understand." Yang Jian the pass and was then allowed to pass.

Loose on the outside and strict on the inside.

The security level of this building is clearly very high.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

My mother works here, so the families of other Ghost Tamer must also work here.

No, perhaps it can't be called work; it's more like protection.

It's easy to imagine that this is a protective base for the families of Ghost Tamer. If something happens here, Ghost Tamer all over the country will be in an uproar.

Therefore, Yang Jian had already felt several subtle gazes upon him when he entered, indicating that there was a considerable amount of hidden security force.

"Hello, Yang Jian, how can I help you?" A sweet-looking woman asked politely at the nearby customer service desk.

Yang Jian strode over and stood in front of the customer service desk, saying, "I'm looking for someone."

"Okay, who are you looking for?" the customer service representative said.

"Mom, you should have my information in your system, so I don't need to say anything more," Yang Jian.

"Are you here to visit a family member? Is your mother's name Zhang Fen? It's currently working hours, and she should be working on the 20th floor. Please take the elevator from that direction, and someone will assist you when you get there." The customer service representative's voice remained sweet, accompanied by a professional smile.

But to Yang Jian, the smile seemed a little stiff and unnatural.

"I understand, thank you." Yang Jian said, then suddenly added, "By the way, are you afraid of me?"

"I don't understand what you mean?" the customer service representative said.

Yang Jian said, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually."

Seeing Yang Jian leave, the female customer service representative breathed a sigh of relief, and the professional smile on her face vanished instantly.

She was indeed afraid.

Because she knew the true identities of these people; each of them harbored a real demon within them.

Being in such close contact with Yang Jian also means being in close contact with the ghost inside his body, a thought that sends chills down one's spine.

"This guy Yang Jian is too perceptive; he actually knows what I'm thinking!" the customer service representative couldn't help but say.

A female colleague next to her didn't dare to lift her head, and asked with a trembling voice, "Did you see that just now?"

"What do you see?"

"That shadow behind Yang Jian," a colleague whispered.

What happened to the shadow?

"The shadow behind Yang Jian has no head."

The female customer service representative suddenly looked towards the elevator entrance.

At this moment, Yang Jian had already entered the elevator, but on the ground outside the elevator, a dark figure was strangely reflected on it. There was no one around the shadow, so it couldn't be the shadow of someone next to him.

Furthermore, and most importantly, this shadow, as mentioned before, has no head.

Moreover, as the elevator operated, the shadow was gradually pulled up until it finally disappeared onto the ceiling on the first floor.

The two quickly averted their gazes, then exchanged a glance, both seeing a strange fear in each other's eyes.

Then he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be busy working.

But they all knew very well that it was a ghost.
