Yang Jian's Plans
Whether it's Chen Yi's actions, Liu Jun and others struggling to survive in the Ghost Domain, or Cao Yanhua's rescue plan at Headquarters, all these actions are temporarily unrelated to Yang Jian.
He didn't come here tonight because he wanted to get involved in this matter.
Rather than waiting until things get really out of control, he figured he'd have to assign someone else to handle it. So he figured it was better to wait and see what happened first, rather than being kept in the dark about something that suddenly happened.
"The Ghost Messenger's Ghost Domain has disappeared, and the ghost painting's Ghost Domain has also disappeared. So, it's highly likely that this incident has been resolved."
Yang Jian was strolling along a bustling street, his head slightly bowed, lost in thought.
"That's true. After all, we used the best resources and deployed the most elite Ghost Tamer this time. If we couldn't handle this, the situation would have collapsed long ago, and we wouldn't have made it this far."
He glanced up slightly at the traffic and pedestrians on the street.
The city was still brightly lit and adorned with blooming flowers. Pedestrians strolled leisurely along the streets, and young couples laughed and played together, as if the terrifying supernatural event unfolding in the suburbs had absolutely nothing to do with this place.
How could these people know that if tonight's events cannot be resolved and the ghost enters this place, this most prosperous international metropolis will collapse instantly?
Death will come to everyone.
"The most dangerous aspect of so-called S-class paranormal events is not the inability to deal with the ghosts themselves, but rather that the Ghost Tamer will likely face more than one ghost. If the tamer loses the numerical advantage in contact with the ghosts, the despair will be amplified infinitely. After all, the more ghosts there are, the greater the chance of being killed by them. In addition, the inescapable Ghost Domain is also a common feature of S-class paranormal events."
Yang Jian recalled the Starvation Ghost Incident and then compared it with the incident with the Ghost Messenger.
I've summarized some personal experiences.
The Ghost Domain is the most difficult to deal with, since there are very few Ghost Tamer can possess Ghost Domain.
As far as Yang Jian knew, only Li Jun had Ghost Domain at Headquarters, and someone else in his WeChat Moments also had Ghost Domain.
But their Ghost Domain are probably not as powerful as ours.
After all, Yang Jian's Ghost Domain is now able to invade the Ghost Messenger's ghost Ghost Domain.
Therefore, he still has an advantage in a certain field.
However, this advantage doesn't prove anything, because the ghosts of Ghost Tamer are different, and it's reasonable that their abilities would vary.
Soon
After wandering around the streets for a while, Yang Jian decided to return to the Ping An Hotel to rest.
However, just as they arrived at their door in the elevator, the door to the guest room next door suddenly opened.
"It's so late, I thought you weren't coming back." A pleasant voice tugged at a lazy yawn. It belonged to a woman with a graceful figure, wearing a black dress, looking like a model on a runway.
Li Yao?
Yang Jian's gaze shifted as he looked at her. "You've been waiting for me here?"
"Otherwise, what would I be doing here?" Li Yao leaned against the doorframe, revealing a charming smile. "You should have received the message I sent you before, right?"
"I did receive the text message during the day. Are people in my WeChat Moments going to make a move against me?"
Yang Jian finished speaking and then frowned again, "You just sent a message during the day, and now you're coming to me again to talk about this. Does that mean the situation over there has changed?"
Li Yao walked over with a smile, and took Yang Jian's arm, saying, "I'll tell you when we get to your room."
"Alright." Yang Jian gave her a deep look, then looked away.
Although Li Yao and he seemed to have a very close relationship, he actually loathed this woman. However, he had become accustomed to hiding his emotions, so he always appeared cold and aloof.
He looked like a dead person.
This wasn't directed at her alone; rather, Yang Jian had long sensed that his human emotions were gradually disappearing.
We entered the room.
Yang Jian casually sat down on the sofa. "Don't worry, there are no surveillance cameras here. If you're still concerned, we can talk in the Ghost Domain."
"Is it really okay to use ghost abilities so casually?" Li Yao asked with a grin, her legs curled up as she leaned on Yang Jian's shoulder.
"There shouldn't be any major problems for the time being. I'm different from other Ghost Tamer." Yang Jian's words were cold, but they also revealed a sense of confidence.
Having survived two S-class paranormal events and experienced several deaths, he has unknowingly left others far behind in his ability to control vengeful spirits.
"No need for all that trouble. I came here on my own initiative because I really didn't trust the information sent via a text message."
Li Yao put away her smile at this moment and said with a somewhat serious expression.
"The people in your WeChat Moments have decided to eliminate you before the Captain Plan ends, but fortunately, the Headquarters' operation has had some impact, and their operation should be delayed a little."
Yang Jian nodded and said, "I can roughly guess that, and I've already made the necessary preparations."
Such swift action is very much in line with the character of Ghost Tamer.
"I don't know the specific plan yet, but judging from their discussions in the meeting, they seem to prefer to make their move when you handle the next paranormal event. This way, they can completely erase any suspicion of framing you and avoid being held accountable by Headquarters," Li Yao whispered in Yang Jian's ear.
"A very good idea." Yang Jian's gaze sharpened.
It seems those people on WeChat Moments did their homework.
No one would doubt that he would die in the next paranormal event.
If it weren't for Li Yao's intelligence, Yang Jian had no doubt that he would have been killed. After all, being caught off guard, caught in a supernatural event, and deliberately targeted, he would have died a truly baffling death.
"You're still praising them? You should be feeling nervous now, since your WeChat Moments is full of people targeting you." Li Yao rolled her eyes.
Yang Jian pursed his lips and said, "You're wrong. They're the ones who should be nervous. Once the plan is exposed, they'll suffer my ruthless retaliation. They're well aware of my threat, which is why they're so impatient."
"So what do you plan to do?" Li Yao asked again.
"I need information on the list of Ghost Tamer in the WeChat Moments, the more detailed the better," Yang Jian said in a deep voice.
Li Yao was taken aback at first, then widened her eyes and looked at him, saying, "You want to make the first move?"
"No, that's too reckless."
Li Yao then began to urge him on, somewhat agitatedly. "If you make the first move, it's like stirring up a hornet's nest. This way, people in your circle of friends can openly target you, and if things escalate, Headquarters won't protect you either. The current situation is quite delicate."
"Once you step forward and disrupt the balance of power, you will offend many people— Headquarters, your social circle, or other forces will all try to nip this in the bud."
"You're still young, you don't know how deep the water is here. This isn't as simple as dealing with paranormal events, nor is it as simple as killing a few people."
Li Yao felt that Yang Jian's idea was too simplistic and too dangerous.
The Ghost Tamer is not just a simple individual; there are many unseen and intangible forces behind them.
Every Ghost Tamer standing at the gate is a significant figure. If Yang Jian were to eliminate the other Ghost Tamer one after another, the consequences would be dire.
This world is, after all, a world of people.
This is not a world ruled by ghosts. As long as order exists and power and wealth are still controlled by humans, Yang Jian cannot act recklessly.
"What you say makes a valid point."
Yang Jian didn't deny Li Yao's point of view. He stood up from the sofa, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looked at the brightly lit city night view outside, and then asked, "Do you think I would die if I jumped from this height of more than ten stories?"
"No," Li Yao replied immediately.
"If you jump, won't you die from the fall?" Yang Jian asked again.
Li Yao rolled her eyes. "Isn't that obvious? He's definitely dead."
"That's it. You're looking at the problem from your perspective, and I'm looking at it from mine. So neither of us is wrong. It's right that you're afraid of wealth and power, after all, you're just an ordinary person. But I'm different."
"I have three demons inside me; if I wanted, I could wipe out any city in a minute."
"One minute is a conservative estimate; in reality, it would be under ten seconds."
Yang Jian reached out and placed his hand on the thick floor-to-ceiling glass. His pale, bloodless hand seemed to hold the lives of everyone in the city in his grasp.
Upon hearing this, Li Yao trembled. Looking at Yang Jian's not-so-tall back, she saw astonishment, awe, and a strange fear in her eyes.
"Humans are truly fragile in the face of ghosts, as fragile as ants, easily crushed and dying without even knowing how." Yang Jian finished speaking, then turned and added, "If even my own life is controlled by others, then what's the point of me struggling to survive with three ghosts until now?"
"I understand. I will gather intelligence on them as soon as possible," Li Yao said, her voice slightly uneasy. She was taken aback by Yang Jian's words.
Or rather, Yang Jian's existence completely overturned her understanding of Ghost Tamer.
After all, Ghost Tamer has ever dared to utter such a statement: to wipe out a city in ten seconds.
But Li Yao had no doubt that Yang Jian could actually do it.
No, it's not just Yang Jian; he might just be one of many. There are probably many people in this world like Yang Jian who could also achieve this.
Once these people emerge from the darkness into the public eye, the world will be turned upside down as supernatural events are exposed.
"If there's nothing else, then you should go back to work. You've been here for so long; if we find out, you'll be in a very bad situation," Yang Jian then said seriously.
He didn't want anything to happen to him as an undercover agent.
At least until things are resolved on WeChat Moments, nothing can go wrong.
"Okay, I'll go back and organize the data now." Li Yao stood up and immediately walked out.
As she reached the gate and prepared to close it, she couldn't help but glance at Yang Jian again.
Yang Jian remained standing by the window, a tall, headless figure shrouding him in darkness behind him. The figure seemed to be obscured, appearing and disappearing intermittently. The only striking features were a pale, unyielding hand that could not be covered by the darkness, and a strange, scarlet eye.
"He's not human, but he's not a ghost either." This thought popped into Li Yao's mind.
