Departure

Yang Jian is indeed alive!

In front of the Ping An Building, footage of Yang Jian and Fang Shiming falling from the high-rise building together and then standing up again a moment later was transmitted to Headquarters.

Some were pleasantly surprised, some were astonished, but most were uneasy.

"He's still alive? How is that possible? We clearly saw his head was already gone from behind."

One of the team leaders couldn't help but stand up abruptly. Before he could finish speaking, he realized something and hurriedly sat down again, his face extremely grim.

"He knows the truth, which is why he appeared at the Ping An Building. He's going to personally wipe out the entire circle of friends. Judging from the current situation, Fang Shiming is probably the only one left in that circle for now."

"The two of them started fighting there; it looks like they're going to fight to the death."

Shen Liang glanced at the group leaders and then reminded them, "The key issue isn't how well he and Fang Shiming fought, but what we should do while Yang Jian is still alive? If things escalate, who will be responsible for the consequences?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The unease I felt earlier stemmed from this.

"I will handle Yang Jian's matter. As for your wrong decisions, I can't control them, but for the sake of the overall situation, you should all resign, including the Deputy Minister." Wang Xiaoming said directly without any hesitation.

Everyone suggested resigning?

"Professor Wang, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Although we made some mistakes, we weren't wrong in the context of the situation at the time. Everyone agrees on that, otherwise we wouldn't have temporarily compromised with the people in our circle of friends," a team leader tried to explain.

Wang Xiaoming calmly said, "Since Yang Jian was willing to compromise for the sake of the bigger picture, why can't you compromise for the sake of the bigger picture now? If you still want to reason with me, go talk to Yang Jian. I'm not listening."

The team leader was speechless, feeling frustrated as he struggled to find a way to refute the statement.

Trying to reason with Yang Jian?

What a joke! Yang Jian is insane right now. If an ordinary person stood in front of him and shouted a few words, they would probably disappear from this world immediately. Who knows how much rationality he has left in his rage?

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Shen Liang quickly changed the subject, saying, "Professor Wang, Yang Jian and Fang Shiming are still alive, and it looks like the fight will continue. Should we stop them? Or should we help Yang Jian? Captains Li Jun and Cao Yang are both here, along with quite a few others."

"Let them continue, no need to help," Wang Xiaoming said.

"If we don't stop it, the consequences of any one of them dying would be huge," the team leader said after a moment's hesitation.

Wang Xiaoming frowned slightly as he looked at him. "With your current intelligence, there are some things that are difficult for me to explain to you."

At the same time.

At the entrance of Ping An Building.

Yang Jian's battered body had been largely restored after being pieced together by the headless ghost. The cursed bell of the music box still echoed in his mind, and this state allowed him to continue fighting.

But this Fang Shiming won't do.

He could already tell that if Fang Shiming were to fight back like before, it would most likely lead to the resurrection of the vengeful ghost.

However, Fang Shiming no longer intends to continue fighting Yang Jian.

The situation is not right.

He could tell that Yang Jian was very different from a normal Ghost Tamer. He had fought so hard and was still in surprisingly good condition, seemingly without the risk of the vengeful ghost reviving. To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen such an anomaly.

"Let's end it here for today. I don't want to continue this pointless fight with you. Although there are some things I don't want to admit, it seems that my circle of friends has lost this time. You've achieved your goal, and after today, the circle of friends will probably be disbanded." Fang Shiming looked wary.

Yang Jian coldly said, "Killing your entire circle of friends is the only way to truly destroy you. You still have one ghost you haven't used yet. Now you can try and see if it can take me down."

"Your current state is peculiar; you seem completely unafraid of death."

Fang Shiming slowly backed away. "Although I don't know the reason, experience tells me that you can't maintain this state for long, so I won't waste any more time on you. Of course, you shouldn't waste your time on me either, because I won't continue fighting with you."

"I'm leaving, and I believe you can't stop me. What just happened proves you have no other way to kill me. The only way to kill me is to wear me down."

"But I won't give you that chance."

As soon as Fang Shiming finished speaking, a chilling wind began to blow around them, a wind that even dispersed the Ghost Domain.

This is using the power of a vengeful spirit to prepare for retreat.

"Use the sixth level of Ghost Domain again."

Yang Jian didn't hesitate at all. He wanted to keep Fang Shiming here and continue attacking him, making him die from the resurgence of his own vengeful spirit. He had already gone this far, so why would he let him go so easily?

However, the music box in his mind interfered at that moment.

The Ghost Eye cannot stack six layers and forcibly freeze everything around it, including the ghost, as it did before.

Is it possible to open the six-layered Ghost Domain only once per period of time?

Yang Jian's expression changed slightly as he realized he had reached his limit.

The music box's curse can only last this long. If it continues, the resurgence of the vengeful spirit will surpass the curse's power, at which point the music box's immortality curse will fail, and he himself will die directly from the resurgence of the vengeful spirit.

And taking advantage of the brief hesitation.

Fang Shiming disappeared. He left this Ghost Domain and quickly vanished from Yang Jian's sight. He didn't want to continue fighting Yang Jian, and of course, he was also wary that others would get involved in this incident, as the situation was very unfavorable to him.

"They left very decisively."

Yang Jian didn't give chase. He knew that without activating the sixth layer of the Ghost Domain, he couldn't keep him here. Besides, this guy also had Ghost Domain, although it wasn't as strong as his own, it was enough to ensure his retreat.

So he just stood there, watching Fang Shiming leave with a gloomy expression.

"Fang Shiming is gone? He slipped away?" The people who witnessed this breathed a sigh of relief.

No one could have predicted the consequences if the two top-tier Ghost Tamer had continued fighting, so this ending is a good one.

The WeChat Moments is gone, Yang Jian is not dead, and Fang Shiming has escaped, but it doesn't matter. At least the situation is under control and hasn't deteriorated to the point of being unmanageable.

"Yang Jian probably wasn't entirely confident he could kill Fang Shiming, otherwise he wouldn't have just watched him leave," Guo Fan said. "That's enough for today. But that's good, we can go home now. We still need to continue searching for the ghost painting tomorrow."

"Shut up if you don't want to die." Yang Jian heard his words and turned to look at him.

"Hey, Yang Jian, I'm telling the truth. The impact you've caused this time is too great. Think about how you're going to explain this to Headquarters," Guo Fan said, but before he could finish speaking, Zhong Shan pulled him back and quickly covered his mouth.

Zhong Shan said in a low voice, "Are you crazy? Yang Jian is clearly not in the right state right now. If you push him too far, he'll kill anyone. Do you really think Headquarters can still control him?"

Guo Fan glanced at the others, who all remained silent. No one dared to speak up against Yang Jian. He instantly realized the situation and his face stiffened.

Indeed, people on the verge of being resurrected by vengeful spirits are capable of anything.

Although Yang Jian's current condition is unclear, he just wiped out all the Ghost Tamer in his circle of friends, and then he fought Fang Shiming, so there's no doubt that his condition is also terrible.

"Fang Shiming doesn't want to fight anymore and wants to hide to save his life? Do you think he can hide? I'm going to kill this guy." Yang Jian's Ghost Eye opened again.

Everything around was once again enveloped in red light.

The streets and roads were deserted again, with all the pedestrians and vehicles gone.

Yang Jian strode forward, his figure gradually disappearing, while the Ghost Domain covering nearly half the city moved rapidly.

"Yang Jian, what are you going to do?" Li Jun's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted.

Yang Jian did not answer. He had already disappeared from everyone's sight. At the same time, the Ghost Domain was also rapidly moving away from the city, forming a red light that flickered in the distant night. It disappeared from sight in just a second or two. The Ghost Domain was beyond everyone's field of vision and had gone to an unknown place.

"Yang Jian is determined to kill Fang Shiming. He won't give up. He must have thought of a way to do it," Cao Yang calmly analyzed. "But his reckless use of the vengeful spirit's abilities shows that he can no longer care about his own condition. He wants to finish this before the vengeful spirit revives."

"At this point, even Jesus couldn't stop him. Whoever tried to stop him would die. We should be thankful that Yang Jian didn't attack us earlier. If he were the kind of person with destructive tendencies, this city would be completely finished today, including us."

Li Jun then said, "Yang Jian is a man who can distinguish right from wrong. He won't make mistakes on matters of principle. Don't forget, he was the one who resolved the Starvation Ghost Incident. I'm just worried that he'll get himself involved in killing Fang Shiming, which would be a huge loss for Headquarters. I don't want to see that happen."

"Su Fan, can you predict where Yang Jian went?"

He asked one last question.

Su Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only know that he went south. Given the size of his Ghost Domain, he could circle the Earth in just a few minutes. At this point, he could go anywhere."

"South? Maybe they went back to Dachang City," Li Jun guessed.

Cao Yang continued, "There's no need to guess. He'll be back soon. How long can he live like this? Yang Jian wants to kill Fang Shiming, so he'll definitely do it while he's still alive. This departure won't take up too much of his time."

Li Jun looked grave, his only thought being to handle the current situation well.

The disappearance of WeChat Moments, the impact of the incident, and the actions of Ghost Painting still have much to be done.

"I'll go report this to Headquarters. You handle things here." Cao Yang noticed Li Jun's worry and turned to leave with several Ghost Tamer, preparing to split up and do their own work.
