Feng Quan's two simple sentences revealed a great deal of information.

He was tricked into coming by Tong Qian's GPS-enabled phone, and then suffered a terrible attack. Moreover, the attacker was not a ghost from a supernatural event, but a strange Ghost Tamer.

Although the methods of attack by Ghost Tamer and demons are the same, they are easily distinguishable through various details of the attack.

"So, you haven't seen Tong Qian yet?" Yang Jian frowned.

Tong Qian arrived in J City earlier than him, but she never showed up during the Genius Incident, the Captain's Meeting, or even the conflict between him and his friends. It was as if Tong Qian had disappeared. Although Yang Jian tried to find her and Cao Yanhua gave him an address, Yang Jian was busy with other things and didn't pay attention to such a small matter.

Now it seems that something is very wrong.

"No, I went to the address you gave me last time. It's a residential area. Tong Qian did live there for a while, but she's not there anymore. I confirmed this by checking the surveillance footage," Feng Quan said. "Since the team formation has been finalized, I decided to track Tong Qian's cell phone signal to find her."

"And as you know, Brother Leg, I encountered a minor danger. I almost died before I even saw the source of the danger. All I know is that I was attacked by Ghost Tamer, but I'm not sure how many people attacked me or what the attack was like. So, to be on the safe side, I can only maintain this state."

Feng Quan shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

He was in a state of dual revival of Grave Soil and ghostly mist, but they had reached a balance, so they could coexist peacefully for a long time.

Feng Quan was clearly experienced in controlling two ghosts, and could easily take such a dangerous step.

If it were a novice, and something went wrong in that situation, Feng Quan would definitely be buried alive.

"An unidentified enemy? They might be using Tong Qian's phone signal as bait and know you're looking for Tong Qian." Yang Jian pondered. "Anyone with that kind of power in this area is either Headquarters or someone in a network of friends."

"But the WeChat Moments feature has now been taken over by Headquarters. Even if there are still some who have slipped through the net, they wouldn't have the guts to kill a person in charge at Headquarters."

"And Headquarters has no reason to do such a thing."

Yang Jian was a little confused. After all, Feng Quan was a veteran Ghost Tamer at Headquarters, the first person in charge of Dachang City, and a being who controlled two ghosts. What ordinary person would dare to make a move against Feng Quan?

Huang Ziya, who was standing nearby, reminded him, "Feng Quan, aren't you going to wash up? How can you go out looking like this?"

"Do you care about these things?" Feng Quan's expression was calm, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Huang Ziya said, "Image, image! We're a team going out to meet people. If we look like this, it'll scare the kids. People who don't know us might think we dug a corpse out of the mud, and they might even call the police."

"That makes some sense. I'll go take a shower." Feng Quan nodded, then went into the bathroom to wash up.

He was too deeply corrupted by the vengeful ghost. The ghost had already revived last time. If Yang Jian hadn't helped him achieve a new balance, Feng Quan would have died long ago.

The reason I'm still alive is because the last thread of life hasn't snapped.

It was just one kick away.

Therefore, Feng Quan's condition was not very good, but the string wouldn't break so easily, after all, the balance between the two ghosts was still maintained.

With a splash, Feng Quan went to take a bath.

Yang Jian sat on the sofa, continuing to ponder his experiences and Tong Qian's matter, because he simply couldn't figure out who could make Tong Qian disappear and force Feng Quan to protect himself.

"Could they be some potentially dangerous individuals?"

That was all he could think of.

There are many supernatural events in this world, and quite a few Ghost Tamer. It's understandable that there are a few lunatics among them.

"Captain, now that we've found Feng Quan, should we head back to Dachang City first, or continue searching for Tong Qian?" Huang Ziya asked again.

Yang Jian snapped out of his reverie, raised his head, and said, "Of course we have to find Tong Qian. He's a very special person, and we can't just ignore him like this. If I don't go after him, Tong Qian will probably just disappear mysteriously, and we might never even find his body again. I don't want that to happen."

Of course, there is another reason, which is that Tong Qian's current body is Zhao Lei's. If Tong Qian is gone, Zhao Lei will also be gone.

"Feng Quan is in danger, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple," Huang Ziya said.

Yang Jian, "This is hardly dangerous. Compared to the supernatural events happening right now, finding someone is the easiest thing to do. If you're scared, just find a place to hide and wait for news. I'll take care of this."

"Who said I'm scared?"

Huang Ziya immediately became serious. "I just think it's better to be on the safe side, after all, Tong Qian's matter involves other Ghost Tamer."

"Humans are much easier to deal with than ghosts," Yang Jian said.

While they were talking, Feng Quan had already quickly showered and walked out of the bathroom. "Brother Leg, have you decided to go find Tong Qian?"

"Can we still locate her information?" Yang Jian asked.

"Sure, but the phone is definitely not in her possession, and it could be another trap," Feng Quan said.

Yang Jian stood up. "It's alright. If there's a trap, it's actually a good thing. At least we have a clue. Besides, at this critical juncture, nothing else matters to me."

"The signal is still in Xiao'an County, and I know where I am." Feng Quan checked his phone to confirm his location.

"Alright, let's go now," Yang Jian.

The three of them set off immediately.

At that moment, the thick fog on the street began to dissipate rapidly. Before they had even walked far from the building, everything around them had returned to normal, as if the unusual fog had never existed.

The ghostly mist originated from Feng Quan. Now that he's alright, the anomalies here will naturally disappear as well.

Tong Qian's cell phone signal came from an inconspicuous vacant lot in Xiao'an County. The lot was overgrown with weeds and covered with gravel and mud, clearly indicating that it had been abandoned for some time.

Feng Quan arrived at this wasteland alone. He looked around but didn't see anyone or notice anything unusual.

Although Yang Jian and Huang Ziya came along, they did not show themselves.

This was Feng Quan's own suggestion. He believed that since they had already been attacked, there would definitely be a next time. Yang Jian and Huang Ziya's appearance was unknown and had not been exposed. Temporarily hiding them might have some unexpected effects.

Anyway, Yang Jian's Ghost Domain can appear instantly once it's used, so it doesn't affect anything.

"The signal is over there."

Feng Quan walked to the middle of the wasteland. His dull, cracked eyes moved slightly, and finally his gaze fell on a section of cement pillar.

A satellite-guided mobile phone was placed on the cement pillar, very conspicuous and eye-catching, as if it had been deliberately placed there.

"Tong Qian's phone." Feng Quan's expression shifted slightly.

He observed it again.

There was nothing amiss; everything seemed perfectly normal, which made him suspect that someone had deliberately lost the phone to prevent him from tracking it down.

"Finding Tong Qian's phone is crucial. Even if Tong Qian is truly missing, we can use the information on her phone to find out where she's been recently, what places she's been, and what happened to her."

Feng Quan knew better than anyone that this phone was not just for making calls and locating data, but also a powerful recorder.

It looks a bit ugly, but it's very technologically advanced.

Feng Quan walked over.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up Tong Qian's satellite-guided phone.

However, as soon as Feng Quan picked it up, his expression suddenly changed.

The surrounding sky suddenly darkened, the nearby open space vanished, the weeds turned into flat ground, and the abandoned garbage transformed into towering buildings. A chilling atmosphere permeated the air, and strangely, the sun in the sky was red. Everything in the landscape underwent a dramatic transformation.

"Someone tampered with Tong Qian's Ghost Domain, leaving some kind of medium. Anyone who picks up the phone will be pulled into the Ghost Domain. This method Gao Ming and cannot be done by an ordinary Ghost Tamer."

"Come out. If there's Ghost Domain, then there must be a source. Haven't you been waiting for me to fall into your trap?"

Feng Quan immediately analyzed the current situation and then said in a deep voice.

The sound echoed in the vast environment, which seemed quite illogical.

"Ghost Fog Feng Quan, as expected of one of the first Ghost Tamer from Headquarters, your experience is indeed superb. You saw through the current situation at a glance. I knew beforehand that you might not be dead, but it's too easy to get lost in your ghost mist. Finding you is a bit troublesome, so it's better for me to stay here and guard you."

A voice appeared, and a figure emerged from an empty building nearby. The figure looked in this direction with a cold expression.

"Your voice sounds familiar." Feng Quan frowned. It should be someone he knew from before.

"It's been almost a year since we last met, and you don't even remember me? Well, that's understandable. People like us die quickly, so it's normal that we don't remember." The figure inside the building twisted and swayed, like a vengeful ghost wandering around.

But the next moment, the distorted figure vanished.

A man emerged from the empty first floor of the building. He was wearing a trench coat and a baseball cap. He grinned, and the skin on his face looked as if it had been torn apart, revealing scarlet flesh.

"His body was severely corrupted by the ghost, even more so than mine."

Feng Quan analyzed, "And the face does look somewhat familiar, a bit like a former colleague."

He tried hard to recall.

Before becoming the person in charge, I did have contact with a group of Ghost Tamer had joined the Headquarters, but we weren't close. After a brief meeting, we went our separate ways. I then served Dachang City Manager for a while, and then I got trapped in the ghost coffin in Huanggang Village. It was half a year later when I returned to the Headquarters.

The original group of people had long since disappeared without a trace. He had inquired and learned that some had been killed by vengeful ghosts, some had gone missing, and some had left Headquarters. The only one he could find was Wei Jing, who had been resurrected from the dead.
