The Lights Came On Again

The information Li Lepeng revealed was astonishing. Yang Jian also roughly understood why Headquarters had chosen this man as a captain.

Someone who had already controlled four ghosts several months ago, yet normally kept such a low profile that he seemed utterly ordinary.

Yang Jian had become a captain because of his contribution in resolving the Starvation Ghost Incident, not because of his strength.

But now...

Yang Jian had dealt with the fierce ghosts within the Fierce Ghost Zone and was facing Li Lepeng again, who had already become an anomaly.

A ghost suspected of possessing the consciousness of a living person.

This state was very unusual. Yang Jian had once had similar ideas, but he believed there were flaws in them.

"Yang Jian, I don't want to oppose
