Action Begins

As the president of Spirit Extermination Society in Japan, Mishima must be extremely busy normally, but today he made a special effort to welcome Yang Jian and personally accompanied him, even offering Yang Jian drinks. This kind of treatment is quite high.

However, the more this seemed to be the case, the more worried Yang Jian became that the operation might not go smoothly.

After all, risk and reward are proportional.

At the dinner table, Mishima remained enthusiastic and respectful, occasionally flattering Yang Jian and subtly hinting that he hoped Yang Jian would establish more friendships and interactions with their Spirit Extermination Society.

Yang Jian neither responded nor refused. When dealing with this old fox, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. It was better to eat something, rest up, and prepare for what was to come.

Keiko remained kneeling quietly beside Yang Jian, but she also took the initiative to serve him food and introduce the dishes.

While they were eating and drinking, preparations for the work outside continued.

Soon, a portable safe containing three pieces of ghost porcelain was delivered to Yang Jian.

"Mr. Yang, your items have been prepared, and your three team members are on their way. They should all arrive within half an hour. So, when do you plan to proceed with your operation? Of course, the operation is entirely up to you, Mr. Yang," President Mishima asked.

Yang Jian checked the time. "Since we can prepare within half an hour, let's start the operation at noon and try to resolve it as soon as possible. I don't want this matter to drag on any longer; the Ghost Knocking' incident has a lot of uncertainty."

"Mr. Yang is indeed straightforward. Our decision to cooperate with him was definitely the right one," President Mishima laughed.

He was also a little worried that Yang Jian might deliberately procrastinate, dragging it out for a few days or even half a month. By then, the impact and losses caused by the supernatural event would be incalculable.

Yang Jian opened the safe and examined the three strange porcelain pieces. He found that the shapes of these porcelain pieces were completely different from the first one. Although all four porcelain pieces were in the shape of human figures, their mental states were different. Some were struggling, some were wailing, and some were lying there straight.

Furthermore, the genders are both male and female, with absolutely no similarities.

"Does this medium require an ID card?" Yang Jian asked.

Mishima said, "No, it's just something you usually wear, but the more it represents your status, the better. For example, a lock of hair, a piece of clothing you often wear, anything will do. Didn't Wang Xin tell Mr. Yang about this? That's really his dereliction of duty."

"However, Mr. Yang should also be careful, as porcelain is very fragile. If someone accidentally breaks it, it can be quite a hassle, so it must be placed in a safe location when in use."

"I know that," Yang Jian said, having already conducted experiments on Wang Xin.

Therefore, if he were to use the Ghost Porcelain, he would definitely use the Ghost Domain to send the porcelain directly deep underground to prevent it from being destroyed by human intervention.

Just as Yang Jian finished packing his things and was about to continue eating...

"Hiss!"

The chandelier in the small shop suddenly flickered, and the surrounding light dimmed instantly. Not only the shop, but the entire airport hall became dim for a moment, as if it had suddenly gone from noon to night.

"What's going on? What's happening outside? Has that incident already affected this area?" President Mishima immediately put down his wine cup and asked.

Yang Jian's gaze shifted slightly, and he opened one of his Ghost Eye to take a look.

It wasn't a case of Ghost Knocking; it was an unknown supernatural event. However, the impact of this level is very small. If it were a ghost, it would be much more serious. It's highly likely that it's Ghost Tamer.

Soon, Wang Xin came running up to the shop, panting. He said, "President, it's Tian Ye. He heard that he wasn't allowed to lead the team in this operation, so he rushed over regardless. He's demanding that you change the plan."

"That bastard Tian Ye."

President Mishima immediately flew into a rage; "His abilities are simply insufficient to handle this incident. Send him back and don't let him cause trouble."

"President, it's too late. Tian Ye has already arrived at the airport," Wang Xin said, his face looking rather grim.

Yang Jian said calmly, "President Mishima, although I shouldn't pry into your Spirit Extermination Society's affairs, what's the deal with that Tian Ye? Is he keen to participate in this operation?"

"That's an arrogant and conceited guy. He failed in the last operation, killing many people. He thinks he can handle this, but he'll only make things worse. His incompetent pride has distorted his judgment. I hope he can calm down, otherwise I will definitely punish this guy."

President Mishima was very angry when he mentioned this guy.

A slight smile appeared on Yang Jian's calm face, "In our local parlance, you're a terrible teammate. It seems your Spirit Extermination Society is facing a significant talent shortage."

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mr. Yang," President Mishima said apologetically.

What Yang Jian didn't know was that it wasn't that the Spirit Extermination Society lacked talent, but rather that the S-class paranormal event had wiped out a group of top-notch Ghost Tamer, leaving them powerless against such terrifying vengeful spirits. They had no choice but to seek help from outside. If they didn't, another loss would bankrupt the Spirit Extermination Society.

Just like the Headquarters seeking help from abroad during the Starvation Ghost Incident.

Because of the precedent set by the Spirit Extermination Society, Cao Yanhua and his team did not want to lose their top-notch personnel, so it was worth spending a lot of money to hire help.

"President, we can't get in touch with Tian Ye. He's lost communication." At that moment, Wang Xin, who was outside the shop, immediately said.

"Damn it, what is he trying to do?" Mishima was both shocked and furious.

Yang Jian calmly looked at the wine cup in front of him. In the dim shadow, the wine reflected a blurry figure. This figure stood beside him, spying on everyone. However, no one else noticed and still felt that there was nothing unusual around them, only that the light had changed.

"Whatever he's planning, the Tian Ye you've been talking about has arrived. I never expected he possessed a Ghost Domain. It's not that great, but it's still somewhat useful, since there are relatively few Ghost Tamer with Ghost Domain."

Upon hearing this, Mishima immediately shouted, "Tian Ye, come out right now! Don't ruin this operation. Do you want to become a sinner?"

But before he could finish speaking, a woman accompanying him suddenly screamed and flew out of the shop. Her neck hit the ground and twisted at an unbelievable angle, making a series of cracking sounds.

He died.

Unsurprisingly, this mature and lovely woman was brutally killed by having her neck broken.

Yang Jian remained calm and did not try to stop them. He believed that this was a matter for the Spirit Extermination Society, and that it was unnecessary for an outsider like himself to get involved.

Keiko, standing to the side, turned pale with fright and trembled all over. She clutched Yang Jian's clothes in terror and whispered, "Mr. Yang, please, protect me. I'm so scared, I don't want to die."

She was afraid of becoming the next target to be thrown out of the shop.

Here, Keiko's only support is Yang Jian.

Yang Jian glanced at her calmly, but said nothing.

But at that moment, a strange voice came from nearby. "Hey, boss, is this the outside help you invited? In my opinion, he's just an incompetent coward. He doesn't even have the courage to save people, how could he possibly handle that matter?"

"Shut up, Tian Ye! You've gone too far! Get out of here right now, or you'll pay the price!" President Mishima was furious.

Tian Ye's appearance not only caused him to lose face, but also potentially affected his subsequent actions.

"Ah! No!"

With another scream, the second woman accompanying her was thrown out by an invisible force. She didn't break her neck, but instead sank into the concrete ground, leaving only her powerless hands waving outside.

Soon.

The hands that had served Yang Jian food stopped moving, hanging stiffly in mid-air, and remained motionless.

"Next up is that lovely girl next to him. If you can, try to stop me, the legendary Ghost Eye Yang Jian."

Tian Ye's somber voice rang in his ears, but the other person still hadn't appeared, and a chilling aura lingered around him.

Upon hearing this, Keiko voice trembled with tears as she cried, "No, I don't want to die."

Yang Jian remained seated, seemingly unmoved. "What an incompetent weakling, President Mishima. Are you just going to let your people continue this nonsense? What about your dignity and face as president?"

I'm so sorry.

President Mishima was deeply ashamed. "I really can't control this Tian Ye. I hope Mr. Yang can teach him a lesson and stop him from being so arrogant."

He arrived in a hurry, and due to a lack of manpower, he had no Ghost Tamer accompanying him, making his situation seem quite shabby.

"You're calling me a weak and incompetent person?"

Tian Ye's voice continued, and the entire table in front of Yang Jian flew off, crashing to the ground and creating a mess, wasting a table full of good food.

Having seen it all, Yang Jian didn't even blink. "Isn't attacking an innocent woman a sign of weakness and incompetence? I've been sitting here the whole time, why didn't you attack me? Were you afraid of me, or did you sense the danger and instinctively try to avoid getting me involved?"

"Damn it, I've made up my mind, I'm going to kill you next."

Tian Ye's somber tone revealed his shame and anger.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it! Don't shout and yell like a little kid, it's embarrassing."

Yang Jian put down his chopsticks and slowly took off his gloves.

He didn't know if Tian Ye's appearance was unintentional, a deliberate attempt to test him, or a way to gauge his abilities. But he felt that if he didn't take down this guy today, he would lose face after being praised by Mishima for so long.

Suddenly.

Yang Jian's red Ghost Eye flickered, as if a vengeful spirit was watching him, and the lingering, chilling aura around him became slightly unusual.

Tian Ye, who had been standing in the corner of the shop, felt the gaze of that eye. This feeling made him somewhat terrified, as if he had returned to the first time he encountered a terrifying supernatural event. Even in the Ghost Domain, he could not completely block the eye from watching him.

"Is it just my imagination? He couldn't possibly be sure of my location," Tian Ye wondered to himself.

But as he moved and changed position, that eye also moved, its gaze always fixed on him.

At this moment, Tian Ye was absolutely certain that this guy's eyes were indeed fixed on him, and no matter how he changed his position, he couldn't escape that gaze.

"That despicable guy."

Even so, this did not deter Tian Ye's idea. He still wanted to take action against Yang Jian, and he could not swallow the insult he had just received.

However, this was before Tian Ye could actually take action.

A blackened, dead hand appeared out of thin air at his feet and grabbed his ankle.

"What?" Tian Ye felt the coldness and stiffness under his feet and couldn't help but look down.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the blackened hand pulled him forcefully, causing Tian Ye to lose his footing and fall heavily to the ground. At that moment, he felt pain, as if all the bones in his body were about to break.

"Hiss!"

The lights in the shop flickered, then returned to normal, and the surroundings became bright again.

A blackened hand kept pulling at the Tian Ye, drawing ever closer.

"Bastard, let me go." He struggled, feeling a strong sense of unease.

"The Ghost Domain in the Tian Ye has disappeared?"

President Mishima, who was standing to the side, looked surprised when he saw that the surroundings had returned to calm. Then he looked at Yang Jian, who was sitting there motionless.

It seems he didn't make a move at all; he just sat there the whole time.

"It's one thing that you're incompetent, but you're also mentally unstable. It's a miracle you've survived this long. If I wanted to kill you, it wouldn't even take a second."

Yang Jian picked up a chopstick and pierced Tian Ye's palm, pinning one of his hands to the ground.

"Ah!"

Tian Ye screamed in agony. He tried to struggle, but he couldn't move his body. What was most terrifying was that he couldn't even use the power of the ghost inside his body.

Yang Jian picked up another chopstick. "I don't care what your purpose is, I just want you to know that offending me will have dire consequences. This is just a small warning for you."

After he finished speaking, the second chopstick pierced through his other palm.

Tian Ye could only scream in agony; he couldn't even struggle, because he felt as if countless hands were writhing inside his body, constantly eroding every inch of his flesh.

"President Mishima, I'll give you face today and not kill this guy, but that's only for this time. If I encounter a situation like this again, I'll make him disappear. Don't blame me for not giving you a heads-up then." Yang Jian picked up another chopstick and tapped the head of President Mishima Tian Ye, who was lying on the ground groaning.

It was as if that chopstick could pierce his head at any moment.

"Also, remember to discipline this guy next time, because the mistakes he makes could very well be attributed to your Spirit Extermination Society. I have no way of predicting what might happen then."

"Does he have the ability to easily take down Tian Ye?"

President Mishima saw that the once arrogant Tian Ye was now powerless to resist, allowing Yang Jian to harm him at his mercy.

He knew that, unseen by him, there was a vast chasm between them.

"Thank you so much for your generosity. Such an accident will never happen again. I swear on my life."

President Mishima bowed to Yang Jian, showing even greater respect for him. He was even more certain that he hadn't made a mistake in hiring Yang Jian, even if it was a huge expense, it was worth it.

"It's about time now. I've eaten and recharged, so it's time to get to work. I believe your people have arrived by now, and President Mishima should be busy himself too."

Yang Jian stood up at this moment and picked up the duffel bag next to him.

"Then I entrust everything to you, sir," President Mishima said, bowing again.

As Yang Jian walked out of the small shop, Wang Xin immediately brought him a satellite-guided mobile phone and a file.

"Captain Yang, please keep this phone so we can stay in touch. Also, this file contains information on three people; they are currently waiting for Captain Yang outside Kobe City to meet them."

"Give the phone to Keiko," Yang Jian the file.

Keiko, who had followed behind, was still in shock. She hadn't expected that such a dangerous moment would be resolved so easily, and that she had walked out of the shop safely.

"Keiko, please make sure you take good care of Mr. Yang." Wang Xin handed the phone to Keiko and said in a very serious tone.

This serves as a warning.

"Yes." Keiko nodded nervously.

Let's go.

Yang Jian glanced at the file a few times, shook his head inwardly, and then casually tossed it away.

The three people sent were of little use; they were probably just cannon fodder.

That makes sense. They've already invited me here, so why would they want to send in some more influential Ghost Tamer to cooperate? It's clearly a way to cut their losses.

However, when solving a paranormal case, sometimes the presence of cannon fodder is unavoidable. After all, no one has absolute confidence that they can completely withstand the first attack of a vengeful ghost without understanding the patterns of murder.

Yang Jian had only taken a few steps forward when, in the next instant, a flash of red light appeared around him.

He and Keiko disappeared at the airport; they simply vanished.

"Yang Jian has arrived at the designated location to meet up." A staff member reported the next moment.

This information was obtained through mobile phone location signals.

"Are you kidding me? This place is at least ten kilometers away from the agreed location," another team leader exclaimed.

Don't make a fuss.

President Mishima stepped forward, his smile fading and his expression turning extremely serious, "The deceased Team Leader Wang Ye's assessment was quite accurate. Yang Jian does indeed have the potential to become a Jade. His Ghost Domain can easily cover a city, which has already been proven, and this is not his true limit."

"What a terrifying man," many people thought to themselves.

A smile appeared on Wang Xin's lips upon seeing this. He knew that his mission had been successful, and now perhaps all he had to do was wait for the good news to arrive.

As for Tian Ye, he really embarrassed himself today.
