Fortunate

In less than a night, Yang Jian confirmed many things.

It would be impossible to say he was 100% certain he could resolve this paranormal event, but in front of the group from the Xiaoqiang Club who lacked confidence, he had to appear extremely confident.

If I don't persuade them to risk their lives, how can I proceed with my next actions?

Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, Zhang Yiming, Ye Jun, and Zhang Han all looked at him.

There was no surprise in his eyes, only suspicion and distrust.

"Such arrogance! You think you can solve the paranormal events in Huanggang Village?"

Ye Jun suddenly sneered, "You can't brag like that. You saw it yourself last night; two Ghost Tamer died in less than an hour."

"He Sheng and Ouyang Tian didn't even have a chance to revive as vengeful spirits. I'm starting to suspect that you deliberately tricked us into coming to the club before."

Yang Jian calmly said, "Since you don't believe me, why bother coming back?"

"The entire village is under lockdown. You can get in, but you can't get out. Do you think we don't want to leave? You never planned to leave before, did you already know the village was under lockdown and were you deliberately trying to make a fool of us?" Ye Jun said angrily.

Unable to leave, he was in a very irritable mood and was gradually becoming intolerant of Yang Jian.

He believed that if he were to die in Huanggang Village, he must avenge the club incident before he died.

Yang Jian, "With your attitude, there's no room for negotiation?"

Zhang Yiming, who was relatively silent, waved his hand and said, "Ye Jun, that's enough. What's the point of arguing at a time like this? Yang Jian, are you confident you can solve this paranormal incident?"

"If you cooperate, I can indeed resolve this matter; but if you don't cooperate, to be honest, all three of you will die."

Yang Jian glanced at it and said calmly.

"I had this suspicion when I first encountered that Plague Ghost, but your return has completely confirmed it. And I won't leave the village easily. It's true that two Ghost Tamer died in this village, but when you're in a supernatural situation, people are bound to die. And to resolve this matter, we must stay in the village."

Yang Jian snorted coldly, "Being afraid of death will only hasten your demise. You were lucky this time, encountering that ghost without being attacked. But you might not be so lucky next time. If I'm not mistaken, that ghost is probably looking for an opportunity nearby, but you unintentionally did something that prevented you from triggering a fatal condition."

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately tensed up, their expressions changing slightly.

"What is the condition for certain death?"

Zhang Han hurriedly asked, "Have you figured anything out?"

"No, it's just a bold guess and hypothesis. If you're willing to tell me what happened last night, I can basically determine the ghost's behavior pattern. Once that's determined, locking the ghost up won't be a problem."

Yang Jian said seriously, "That's why I said if you're willing to cooperate with me, this paranormal event can be resolved."

"Is what you said true?" Zhang Yiming said, still somewhat unsure, as he smoked a cigarette.

"Uncle, do you have any good ideas? If you're confident you can imprison this ghost, I'm willing to listen to you," Yang Jian.

Zhang Yiming smiled wryly, "I admit I wasn't as good as you at handling this matter. Actually, nothing much happened last night. We just sensed that the ghost might be nearby, so the three of us sat together and kept watch all night. Strangely enough, we weren't attacked for such a long night."

Sure enough!

Yang Jian's expression hardened.

"Wait, you said earlier that you only determined the behavior pattern of one ghost, so there's more than one ghost in this village?"

Suddenly, Zhang Han's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked.

Yang Jian nodded and said, "That's right. There should be two ghosts in this village, at least two ghosts based on our contact with them. Don't you have any doubts about all the strange things that happened last night?"

"But now is not the time to talk about two ghosts. What I can say for sure now is that no one in this village can act alone, not even Ghost Tamer. If someone encounters that ghost while acting alone, I'm certain they will die."

"He Sheng and Ouyang Tian have confirmed that if you encounter a ghost while alone, you will surely die. The reason you were unharmed last night is because the three of you were all together, and the ghost didn't find an opportunity to strike, or its conditions for killing were not met."

Zhang Han exclaimed in surprise, "It really is just like you said! We're fine when we're together, but if we're alone and facing a ghost, we're guaranteed to die!"

"You're talking nonsense! According to you, everyone in this village would have died long ago. How could there still be many people living here?" Ye Jun couldn't help but curse.

Yang Jian glanced at him; "Are you sure everyone in the village is human? I found some information about Huanggang Village. A paranormal event happened there six months ago, and the entire village has been quarantined. The villagers have disappeared. In other words, it's become a ghost village. What we see isn't always real."

"You mean everyone in this village could be a ghost?"

Zhang Yiming shuddered, his eyes involuntarily narrowing.

I looked around.

There are at least several dozen elderly people left behind here. If they're all ghosts, what's the point of this place?

Isn't this just a suicide mission?

"It can't be sure it's a ghost, but it's definitely not human," Yang Jian.

"What you're saying sounds like nonsense. Since you can't be sure, then I'll help you confirm it."

Ye Jun said coldly, then he drew his gun from his waist and pointed it at an old man nearby.

"You idiot."

Yang Jian suddenly grabbed his neck with a ferocious look. "If you want to die, get the hell out of here. Don't ruin my plans. I've finally figured things out, and if you fire a shot, we're all doomed. If you dare to cause trouble here, I'll kill you first."

"Are they your family? Do they deserve your concern?"

Ye Jun then pointed at Yang Jian: "Since you told me not to shoot them, why don't you take a few hits for them and see if you two are truly in love? I also want to settle that score with you from last time at the club."

Since I can't leave the village anyway, and I'll probably have a hard time surviving, I might as well vent my anger first.

"You've really lost your mind. Keeping you in the village will only make things worse. It's better to kill you here, so you won't be a burden later. With a brain like yours, letting you live is a mistake in itself."

Yang Jian with a hint of murderous intent, and then, crimson Ghost Eye instantly opened on the back of his hands, his forehead, and his face.

At that moment, he truly wanted to kill.

Whether these villagers are ghosts or not, they shouldn't be provoked, since they don't pose any threat to us at the moment.

If there is no threat, it means there is no need to offend them.

If Ye Jun fires his gun and confirms that these villagers are ghosts, then so what?

Offending a bunch of devils will only hasten your demise.

If the villagers aren't ghosts, then there's even less reason to fire; why disturb their seemingly normal lives?

"You can't scare me. We can't get out of here anyway. I might as well fight you to the death."

Ye Jun grinned, becoming somewhat crazed.

Come on.

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, and a red light gradually emanated from his body.

"Ye Jun, calm down."

Suddenly, Zhang Yiming shouted.

Zhang Han was also feeling unwell at the moment. He said coldly, "Yang Jian is right. What you're doing will ruin things. These villagers can't be touched. If it really comes to a fight, I'll help Yang Jian, not you."

They were all aware of the terrible consequences of acting recklessly.

Once it's confirmed that these villagers are ghosts, will this shot provoke their revenge?

If it were possible, this shot would be tantamount to suicide.

What kind of idiot would think to kill a villager to test the authenticity of something?

Three against one, no chance of winning.

Ye Jun was somewhat out of control in this desperate situation, but he wasn't foolish enough to misjudge the situation.

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."

He took a step back and dropped the gun on the ground.

"You should calm down. Judging from the way you were just now, you're very close to the resurgence of a vengeful ghost. You're starting to lose your mind," Zhang Yiming said.

Ye Jun's eyes flickered slightly, but he looked at Yang Jian, "I've already apologized, so you don't need to keep choking me anymore, right?"

"I think it would be better if you were dead."

Yang Jian's killing intent remained undiminished; at this crucial moment, he didn't want another person like this causing trouble.

"Yang Jian, calm down. I know you two had some friction before, but right now the most important thing is to think about how to resolve this paranormal event. We don't have many people left, and if another one dies, it won't be good for the overall situation, right?" Zhang Yiming said.

Yang Jian's expression remained unchanged, and it was unclear what he was thinking. He simply and slowly withdrew his hand.

"Young man, are you arguing?"

At this moment, an old woman came over and advised, "It's true that youthful vigor is admirable, but you must know your limits. A few words are enough; don't resort to violence. If something serious happens, you'll not only have to pay compensation, but you might even go to jail. Don't be impulsive! There's a saying that goes, 'Impulsiveness is the devil.'"

"Don't worry, ma'am, we're not fighting. We just had a little argument, it's nothing serious," Zhang Han said with a smile, while giving the old woman a quick look.

Some of them were older, their faces full of wrinkles, and they didn't seem to be in good spirits, giving off a sickly vibe, but they had kind and gentle faces, appearing very amiable, and always had a smile on their faces.

"That's good, that's a good child."

The old woman smiled, nodded, and then turned and left.

"Cough, cough cough." A weak, feeble cough rang out.

Moment.

The four people were startled and turned to look in the direction from which the voice came.

It was that old woman.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jun felt a chill run through his hands and feet, his body stiffened slightly, and he felt a strange sense of relief.

Thankfully, no shots were fired.

If they actually fire, who knows what might happen?
