Unable to Control

Yang Jian felt the changes within himself.

Aside from the ghostly part remaining unaffected, the human part has been altered under Gao Zhiqiang's ghostly influence.

The deterioration of his health improved, and he even became healthier than before.

However, when Yang Jian tried to control the ghost, his expression changed slightly.

He felt an extra consciousness within his body. This consciousness was strange, as if another person had entered his mind. Although this consciousness remained silent, it was clearly present. Moreover, at the same time, the ghost that originally existed within his body seemed to be reviving. No, it wasn't like revival; it was more like being rejected by him.

"So that's how it is."

Yang Jian's eyes flickered as he gradually understood the essence of this ghost. "This ghost isn't incapable of reviving, but rather its revival will be different. It will gradually merge with the human consciousness, and eventually its human personality will disappear, completely replaced by the ghost. Perhaps it can still retain the way of thinking it had before it was alive, but its essence will have already become a ghost."

"I cannot control this ghost because there are already other ghosts inside my body. This ghost of Gao Zhiqiang cannot affect the Ghost Eye, ghost shadow, and ghost hand, so it has become my subconscious resisting these three ghosts. If I forcefully control it, it can last for a while, but in a long time, the balance will definitely be lost."

For Ghost Tamer, maintaining balance is of paramount importance when controlling two or more demons.

Once the balance is broken, it means the evil spirits will be resurrected, Ghost Tamer will not be far from death.

Yang Jian might be able to use this ghost to deceive himself into believing it won't revive, but the instincts are still there. Even if this ghost doesn't revive, the other ghosts in his body will revive due to the loss of balance.

"As expected, I was too wishful thinking. Ghosts are not something that can be easily controlled." Yang Jian recalled the time when he first controlled the Ghost Eye.

At that time, he was tormented by the resurrection of vengeful ghosts almost every day.

Afterwards, controlling the Ghost Shadow helped a little, but it only prolonged the time it took for the vengeful spirit to revive. Only after the incident where he hanged himself in the Ghost Mirror, and then controlled the headless Ghost Shadow that had crashed, was he able to barely resolve the problem of the vengeful spirit's revival.

However, this was followed by a decline in physical health, and the balance was disrupted once again.

Yang Jian regained his balance by using the coffin nails made by Wang Xiaoqiang and the ghost hand, which is why he has survived to this day.

Every success is not accidental, but has a reason.

"If I can't control it, then its value to me is greatly reduced." He felt a slight pang of regret.

This ghost cannot be Ghost Tamer; it can only be controlled by ordinary people. Although its abilities are bizarre and terrifying, they are also limited. After Yang Jian obtained it, he could only occasionally restore his body to prevent it from deteriorating.

But this amount of value is not significant to him.

Because he was inspired.

As long as a ghost's ability can alter reality, not just this ghost, any ghost could repair its body.

Did you fail?

Wang Xiaoming noticed his expression and calmly asked.

He wasn't asking whether Yang Jian had controlled Gao Zhiqiang's ghost, but rather whether he knew the secret to the reactivation of the vengeful ghost.

Yang Jian snapped out of his daze and looked at him, saying, "It's not a failure, just an inspiration. It's just that I can't do what you're thinking yet."

"Is it because I lack the ability?" Wang Xiaoming pondered for a moment.

Indeed, this near-unsolvable restart ability has only appeared in S-class paranormal events so far. The restarts of the starving ghost and the Ghost Messenger are both despair-inducing. Yang Jian is not yet comparable to S-class paranormal events, so it is understandable that he cannot restart, but the direction is correct.

"Don't say anything more, let's detain Gao Zhiqiang first," Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua said hurriedly, and then immediately ordered the staff to prepare a gold container.

Soon, a Gold Box, enough to imprison a person, was brought over on a cart.

Yang Jian was currently holding the ghost's body. Although it was in Gao Zhiqiang's form, he knew very well that this ghost had no physical form, only a consciousness. It was a ghost that existed only in the mind and did not possess a physical body. It could be Gao Zhiqiang now, but if Wang Xiaoming controlled it, then it would be Wang Xiaoming.

But only his hand can grasp this ghost, because this ghost does not exist in reality, but in the deep Ghost Domain, which ordinary people and even Ghost Tamer cannot see.

"Minister, I'm the one who imprisoned this ghost, so I should be the one to deal with it," Yang Jian said earnestly.

Although he couldn't control it, the ghost still held considerable value and was worth collecting; who knows when he might need it again in the future.

"Yang Jian, this won't do. Although Gao Zhiqiang died from the resurrection of a vengeful ghost, don't forget that this scene was caused by your fight with Gao Zhiqiang. You have essentially killed a Ghost Tamer from Headquarters. If Gao Zhiqiang hadn't made the mistake first, I would have held you accountable."

Cao Yanhua said in a deep voice, "If you still want to take Gao Zhiqiang away, how am I supposed to explain this to the others? What if all the top Ghost Tamer take a fancy to someone else's ghost and cause a similar situation? Wouldn't that lead to chaos? I hope you will follow the arrangements and not be so stubborn."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately began to quickly calculate in his mind.

Really.

Taking away Gao Zhiqiang's ghost is easy, but taking it away is very difficult.

This is the Headquarters after all, so there will be a lot of resistance. We can't use force either. There are at least a dozen top-notch Ghost Tamer watching here. If we make a move, I estimate that I will have a hard time even escaping.

However, it would be incredibly foolish to fall out with Headquarters over a ghost.

"What if I apply to ride this ghost?"

Yang Jian then used a plausible excuse. "This ghost can help me restore my body; I need it."

Those Ghost Tamer can apply to Headquarters to control a second or even a third ghost. Although Yang Jian has never used such a right, his contributions have long been enough to qualify him.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yanhua breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was afraid that Yang Jian, this young man, would act impulsively, so he immediately said, "This requires following procedures. As long as the procedures are followed, Headquarters will agree. But before that, Gao Zhiqiang must be handled by Headquarters, and I will prioritize your needs."

This is a compromise.

After all, Yang Jian's value is undeniable, and Headquarters cannot afford to ignore it.

"Can you guarantee that this ghost won't end up in someone else's hands?" Yang Jian asked calmly.

"I can't guarantee that, but I can guarantee that this ghost won't fall into the hands of Ghost Tamer of a lower level than you," Cao Yanhua said.

Yang Jian squinted at Cao Yanhua.

It has to be said that this Deputy Minister is really slippery. He didn't make any promises and tried to take back Gao Zhiqiang's ghost with a vague answer.

But he also knew that this matter had become quite serious, and Headquarters would not allow him to just swagger around and kill Gao Zhiqiang and take his ghost, even if Gao Zhiqiang had made a mistake first.

"I understand. This ghost will stay at Headquarters. However, I've already chosen a location for the Deputy Minister to store it. I'll come and retrieve it once the procedures are completed." Yang Jian tossed Gao Zhiqiang into the Gold Box and sealed it, giving it a light pat.

The box vanished instantly.

Cao Yanhua was about to speak to stop him.

But Yang Jian pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

Cao Yanhua was immediately speechless.

This scene seemed familiar; it was at the temporary conference center in Dachang City after the Starvation Ghost Incident.

Yang Jian put a Ghost Tamer named Lin Long into a box and used his Ghost Domain to place him 10,000 meters underground.

This distance is beyond even Li Jun's Ghost Domain.

"This is also the Headquarters, and it's guaranteed to be safe and reliable, so you can rest assured, Deputy Minister," Yang Jian.

He'll leave Gao Zhiqiang's ghost here for now, and go through the application and procedures later. If it doesn't go through, he can always secretly take it away someday without anyone noticing.

"This Yang Jian, he's really got some nerve," someone thought to themselves.

They don't even respect the Deputy Minister's dignity, and they still dare to keep Gao Zhiqiang's ghost in front of so many people.

However, on the other hand, someone who has solved S-class paranormal cases wouldn't be without courage.

Yang Jian isn't even afraid of ghosts, so naturally he's even less afraid of people. If it weren't for so many people here supporting him, Cao Yanhua's words would probably be no different from farting. After all, the constraints on Ghost Tamer in this world are too weak now. Even the Headquarters tends to cooperate rather than simply issuing orders from superiors and subordinates.
