Truth and Falsehood
"What? There's trouble in the rest area?"
After the alarm sounded, the situation in the rest area was quickly relayed to Headquarters, where staff promptly reported it. About three minutes later, Cao Yanhua, the Deputy Minister, received the information and immediately stood up abruptly from his office.
The people staying in the Headquarters' rest area now are all very important.
The top group of Ghost Tamer in Asia, candidates for the Captain Plan, and some other individuals with special abilities.
Any unexpected situation will have a huge impact.
"What exactly happened? Has the situation been investigated?" Cao Yanhua asked anxiously.
A staff member reported, "It's not entirely clear yet, but judging from the surveillance footage, it seems there's been an incident at the location of Gao Zhiqiang, codenamed 'Ghost Deceiver,' in lounge number twelve. It might be a fight stemming from a personal conflict."
"To put it simply, someone's fighting?" Cao Yanhua frowned immediately after hearing this.
This fight wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small one either.
If it were an ordinary person, nothing would happen, but if it involves Ghost Tamer, then the fight becomes a different story.
"Where's Shen Liang? Didn't he handle it?" Cao Yanhua asked again.
"Captain Shen has already gone there. After all, it involves special personnel, and Captain Shen's abilities are limited, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to handle it well," the staff member cautiously suggested.
Cao Yanhua, hands on his hips, said somewhat angrily, "They're all Ghost Tamer, each with some special abilities, and none of them are willing to submit to the other. They start fighting over the slightest disagreement. Can you just fight like that? No matter who wins or loses, it's a loss for Headquarters. Someone is right, these problem youths just need someone to keep them in check, otherwise they'll all be lawless."
"We ordinary people can't control this. Go and inform Old Qin about this. Have him come over and curb these people's arrogance. They dare to fight in Headquarters now. What will they do when they become captains?"
"Okay, okay, Deputy Minister, I'll go and inform Old Qin right away," the staff member said hurriedly.
After the staff left, Cao Yanhua called over another person and said, "Prepare for an early meeting and inform Professor Wang to have his side make preparations."
The reason for holding the meeting early is to discuss this matter at the meeting, so as to avoid any further trouble later.
And at this very moment.
In front of lounge number 12 in the rest area.
Yang Jian stood straight in front of a broken door, his gaze cold as he looked at Gao Zhiqiang, who was fleeing in a hurry.
Gao Zhiqiang was clearly not the kind of Ghost Tamer with Ghost Domain; he was just running forward in an ordinary way, and his speed wasn't fast. If Yang Jian wanted to catch up, he could catch up immediately, but Yang Jian didn't do that. He simply let Gao Zhiqiang disappear from his sight.
"What happened? Did they just let Gao Zhiqiang get away like that? Is Yang Jian not going to make a move? Or was he just bluffing him and now he's backing down?" Many people who witnessed this scene had many questions in their minds.
"They seemed ready to strike hard before, so why are they so quiet now? Did Yang Jian use the Ghost Domain? No, I didn't sense anything unusual about being covered by the Ghost Domain."
"Let's see how it goes first."
Many onlookers remained silent, realizing that the fight was not progressing as expected.
Gao Zhiqiang ran away, while Yang Jian stood there motionless.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Those who didn't know the situation might have thought Yang Jian had chickened out.
However, most people's judgments were quite astute: Yang Jian had probably already made his move, but not in the usual way, with one running and the other chasing.
"Is the Ghost Deceiver? It's a very special ability." Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly.
He did see Gao Zhiqiang running forward in a panic, and he had already run out of his sight.
However, the Ghost Eye on his forehead did not see Gao Zhiqiang escape from the front.
Ghost Eye's vision was of a world covered in red light, but Gao Zhiqiang was nowhere to be seen in that world.
In other words, the Gao Zhiqiang who escaped earlier was a fake.
The eyes have been deceived.
"However, the Gao Zhiqiang who ran away was not a hallucination. Everyone else besides me saw him running, and many people were even convinced that Gao Zhiqiang had run away. In other words, no one doubted that Gao Zhiqiang was an imposter; in their eyes, Gao Zhiqiang was real."
Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly.
This ability is indeed very strange.
Those present must all be top-tier Ghost Tamer, yet even they couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake, which shows just how perfect this Ghost Deceiver is.
"However, his ability seems to be countered by my Ghost Eye." Yang Jian slowly turned around, his Ghost Eye scanning the surroundings.
If the fake Gao Zhiqiang escaped, then the real one must be in this vicinity.
Now, we need to find him.
"No?"
Yang Jian's Ghost Eye scanned the area, but still couldn't find Gao Zhiqiang's true form.
"Is the power of one Ghost Eye still too weak?"
He realized he had underestimated the Ghost Tamer at Headquarters; it was naive to think that he could completely suppress others' abilities with just one Ghost Eye.
"With my Ghost Eye now stacked, I can even bypass the intrusion of the Ghost Coffin. I don't believe you can hide that deep."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his palm and placed it on his forehead.
With his palm facing outwards, a second Ghost Eye darted around eerily in his palm, restlessly surveying his surroundings.
These are two Ghost Eye superimposed.
At this very moment.
It was less than three meters away from Yang Jian.
Gao Zhiqiang remained leaning against the wall, letting out a slight sigh of relief. He noticed that everyone else was looking at the fake version of himself, including Yang Jian, which made him realize that his abilities had worked.
His codename is Ghost Deceiver, and he can deceive not only people, but also other things.
Just now, Gao Zhiqiang used his ghostly abilities to deceive everyone, making them think he was running away when he was actually still in the same spot.
They were simply being deceived; they were now invisible, like air.
Not only that, Gao Zhiqiang can even deceive the ghost inside his body, making the ghost, which would normally keep reviving, believe that it will not revive. In this way, he can use the ghost's abilities without restraint. In addition, the abilities of this vengeful ghost can even affect reality.
For example, just now he was almost kicked to death by Yang Jian, and then Gao Zhiqiang deceived his body into believing that he was not injured.
And so he recovered.
Therefore, although Gao Zhiqiang only controlled one ghost, he was an anomaly among Ghost Tamer. A person who was not worried about the resurgence of vengeful ghosts, yet possessed such bizarre abilities, was naturally of great value.
"Even if this Ghost Eye Yang Jian is fierce, I'm not bad at protecting myself. He's dreaming if he thinks he can kill me." Gao Zhiqiang sneered.
He admitted that Yang Jian might be incredibly powerful, but which of the Ghost Tamer at Headquarters was a pushover? They just had different strengths.
"Get away from him for a bit, find somewhere to wait, and everything will be fine in about ten minutes when the meeting starts," Gao Zhiqiang thought to himself, preparing to turn and leave before anyone noticed.
His ghost's ability can affect reality, but this reality applies to ordinary people; its impact on the Ghost Tamer is very limited.
The fake will be discovered soon, so he has to leave.
However, just as Gao Zhiqiang was about to sneak away, he suddenly realized that Yang Jian was not chasing after his fake body, but instead stood still and looked around.
His gaze inadvertently swept over him, which sent a chill down Gao Zhiqiang's spine.
"What the hell is this guy? Did he know that the me who ran out just now was a fake? No, that's impossible. His gaze was clearly drawn to me, so why didn't he make a move? Damn it, this guy is more special than I thought."
Not daring to linger any longer, he left immediately.
Silently and without a trace, no one will suspect anything.
"Where are you going, Gao Zhiqiang?" Suddenly, Yang Jian's cold voice rang out.
Gao Zhiqiang froze, instinctively turning around to look.
He saw an eye.
The eye stared intently at him, devoid of any emotion, cold and numb, exuding an eerie and unsettling aura. It was as if he were being watched by a vengeful ghost, sending chills down his spine and filling him with dread.
"Did he see me?" That was the only thought in Gao Zhiqiang's mind.
"You were found within two layers of the Ghost Domain? You're not as special as I thought." Yang Jian strode over, his chilling aura sending shivers down one's spine.
A tall, dark shadow rapidly encroached on the ground in front of him, heading towards Gao Zhiqiang.
"Yang Jian, don't go too far. If we really fight, I can bite a piece of flesh off you too," Gao Zhiqiang roared, his voice trembling with fear.
"If you can do it, go ahead and try. I can even deal with ghosts, so how could I not be able to deal with a Ghost Tamer you?" As Yang Jian spoke, the headless ghostly figure invaded Gao Zhiqiang's body.
A chilling sensation instantly froze Gao Zhiqiang's body.
But to others, this scene appeared as Yang Jian talking to thin air.
"Was the Gao Zhiqiang who just escaped an imposter?" This situation immediately made many people realize what had happened earlier.
Gao Zhiqiang's body was twisting uncontrollably, and as it twisted, something strange began to dismantle it.
My legs seemed to have been spliced on, then suddenly broke off and fell to the ground.
His hands also fell off his body on their own.
"How could this happen?" Gao Zhiqiang lost his balance, an expression of disbelief on his face.
Then, when he looked down and saw the eerie black shadow at his feet, he realized that this must be the power of the second ghost in Ghost Eye Yang Jian.
I was too wary of that Ghost Eye, and subsequently overlooked other details.
Finally, Gao Zhiqiang's head also went out of control, detached from his neck, and fell heavily to the ground.
He was reduced to a pile of parts.
But Gao Zhiqiang was still alive; his remaining head just stared at Yang Jian with wide eyes and a look of terror on it.
"Let's try again now, see if we can restart it again." Yang Jian walked over and looked down at Gao Zhiqiang's head on the ground.
With his body suppressed by the ghostly figure, he wanted to see if Gao Zhiqiang could continue to use the ghost's abilities within his body.
