Threat

"What a pathetic bunch."

Yang Jian learned about the foreigners' situation through the translator, a man named Li Yang.

Six months ago, the Ghost Painting Incident broke out overseas.

The Ghost Domain covered almost the entire city, and many people were unexpectedly drawn into the supernatural events. Just like the city residents in the Dachang City Starvation Ghost Incident, they were attacked by ghosts without even knowing why.

At the time, there were many ordinary people in the ghost painting, but in the past six months, the ghost has been killing people non-stop, which has led to a sharp decrease in the number of survivors. Now, there are very few people left alive.

In other words, they lived in the ghost painting for the entire period of time.

"The Ghost Painting Incident abroad concealed this information. They didn't mention anything about the survivors in the files, and they didn't even report the number of deaths." Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly as he remembered the file about the ghost painting.

He believes that the foreign Ghost Tamer teams must have discovered that there were still many living people here after their operation.

Their operation failed, and foreign countries chose to block the news in order to minimize the impact.

These survivors naturally became victims of the Ghost Painting Incident.

"If these people leave Ghost Painting alive and go outside, and tell others what happened here, it would be quite an interesting thing," Yang Jian thought to himself.

"Enough with the nonsense. I'm warning you, get us out of here right now, or I'll personally send you to meet your maker."

Perhaps because the questioning had taken up too much time, a tall white man could no longer contain himself. He stepped forward, grabbed Yang Jian by the collar, and pressed a cold pistol against his forehead, threatening him fiercely.

"Damn it, David, stop! What are you doing? He's the only one who knows how to get out of here. If you send him to meet God, we'll all be dead."

Several people nearby were shocked by what they saw and quickly pulled him back and tried to persuade him to stop.

"Shut up, we don't have time. That thing is still wandering around here. We could die at any moment. I don't want to stay here for another second." The foreigner named David had a hint of madness in his eyes.

Living in this terrifying city for so long has caused him some mental problems.

Yang Jian couldn't hear what these people were saying, but he could still see the current situation.

I was threatened.

It was probably because I didn't take them away from here immediately.

"What a pain in the neck. I thought I could get some useful information from these people, but it turned out to be not only a hassle but also a waste of my time." Yang Jian's gaze turned slightly cold as he stared at the foreigner named David.

Regardless of whether this guy has mental problems or is forced to hold a gun to his head to survive.

This behavior itself constitutes a threat.

Yang Jian has always had only one way of dealing with threats.

"I'll give you three seconds to let go of my hand and drop the gun, or I'll kill you right now," Yang Jian said, regardless of whether the man understood him or not.

The man next to him, named Li Yang, understood what he meant and quickly translated, "David, let go of his hand immediately. Doing this won't solve anything; it will only cause more trouble. He's different from us; he's not an ordinary person."

Those who have survived to this day all have some discernment.

This foreigner is mentally unstable, but Li Yang is relatively normal. He knows in his heart that this person, who dares to roam this terrifying place so recklessly, must be no ordinary person.

"Unless this guy obediently takes me away from here, I won't let go. Nothing is more effective than threatening with a gun. You idiots wouldn't understand." This man named David was obsessed with the idea that Yang Jian would obediently take him away under his threat.

Yang Jian saw them arguing fiercely and realized that the conversation had failed.

The person in front of me is not the kind of person who can be persuaded with just a few words.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the man's wrist, twisting the bone with such force that it snapped, and then kicked him.

This strong adult man, weighing over 100 kilograms, was sent flying backwards.

"Bang!"

Gunfire unexpectedly broke out during this counterattack.

But David was holding the gun, was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall behind him, his wrist twisted, and he fainted in pain.

Such a sudden change.

The others nearby were stunned. They stared at Yang Jian, who was unharmed, and then at David had been sent flying several meters away. They were all frozen in place, and the scene fell silent.

"Times have changed; this thing is useless to people like us now."

Yang Jian's face was icy as he slowly removed a deformed bullet from his forehead.

That shot didn't even penetrate his skin.

A layer of black shadow blocked the shot; this was the ability of the Ghost.

Even though he can't use the Ghost Domain here, he can still withstand most ordinary attacks by relying on Ghost Shadow.

"My God!" Someone who witnessed this scene covered their mouth in astonishment, as if they had seen a miracle.

Li Yang, standing next to Yang Jian, also stared wide-eyed at Yang Jian.

He only knew that the person in front of him was special, but he didn't expect him to be this special. Could this person no longer be considered human? After all, he was someone even a gun couldn't kill.

"My God, what have I seen?"

"An evil spirit! He's definitely possessed by an evil spirit! Oh my god, we're doomed this time!"

Yang Jian glanced at them, and at that moment, fear appeared in their eyes. They subconsciously began to move away from him, as if they regarded him as a vengeful ghost, an evil spirit, or a devil.

What are they saying?

Li Yang hesitated for a moment before saying, "They think you're possessed by an evil spirit and are praying."

"Pray?"

Yang Jian smiled slightly; "Having faith is a good thing, at least there's something to rely on. It's a pity that this world is terrible and cruel. They don't even need to pray anymore. Even if Jesus came, I could kill him now."

"Insulting someone's beliefs is not a glorious thing," Li Yang said through gritted teeth, his voice trembling with unease.

You believe in this too?

Yang Jian glanced at him. "So holding a gun to someone's head is a glorious thing? Your double standards are too severe. If your beliefs cannot be insulted, then you shouldn't do things that go against your beliefs. I remember that killing someone will send you to hell, right?"

Li Yang didn't know how to answer, so he just forced himself to say, "We just want to survive, and there's nothing shameful about that."

"So you'd rather others die in order to survive?"

"That's not what I meant. David was indeed in the wrong just now, and we were trying to stop him," Li Yang said.

Yang Jian's eyes flickered slightly. "Forget it, I've never been good at arguing with people. If you want to survive, you can do me a favor. I need two qualified guides here. I need to find that ghost. You've lived here for so long, I'm sure you've seen a lot of things."

He did not blame anyone else for what had just happened.

One thing at a time, Yang Jian had it all figured out very clearly.

"Really?" Li Yang was excited, but he hesitated.

"You have no choice. How long can you survive hiding here like this? The next attack will wipe you all out. Ghosts won't give you a choice like I do." Yang Jian glanced to the side.

Besides these men, there were also some women, and even a few emaciated children.

"You decide for yourself, before I leave this building."

Yang Jian didn't give them much time to think or hesitate, because his own time was also precious. So he turned around and went back the way he came, intending to continue to delve deeper into the Ghost Painting.

However, when he walked out of the building...

Two footsteps sounded behind me.

The man named Li Yang, along with a dark-skinned foreigner, followed breathlessly, seemingly having decided to take on this dangerous mission to give others a chance to survive.

"What's your name? Jimmy and I would like to be your guides."

Yang Jian stopped and turned around, saying, "Yang Jian from Dachang City, codename: Ghost Eye."
