Mysterious Awakening

After Yang Jian left, Luo Su Yi, Lin Luomei, and Huang Fei found their bodies had returned to normal.

The thing that had infiltrated their bodies, attempting to replace them, also vanished with Yang Jian's departure.

In just under fifteen minutes of contact, all three were drenched in cold sweat. This kind of despair, with no means to fight back, felt like when they first encountered a fierce ghost. It was hard to believe that there were Exorcists in this world who were unafraid of ghosts unless one saw it with their own eyes. Stay updated with empire

"He's finally gone, what in the world was that thing... If it wasn't for the fact that we could still communicate, negotiate, I would seriously suspect he was a ghost. Moreover, even Lin Luomei couldn't untie that rope, and he didn't even do it himself," a relieved Luo Su Yi said as soon as Yang Jian was out of sight, but at the same time, he felt a blow that made him question his life.

"I couldn't have misjudged that rope; it absolutely was a revived ghost, and it wasn't under Yang Jian's control. He used that ghost's characteristics to attack us, I really have no idea how he managed that."

"Yeah, but this guy is way too sensitive. We were just arranging a meeting, yet he went for the kill without giving us any chance."

Huang Fei said bitterly, "The incident in Dachang City has been going on for at least half a month. It's said that only Yang Jian survived from his batch of Exorcists. It's normal for someone who survived such a desperate situation to be a bit sensitive. I shouldn't have listened to you, making Lin Luomei call out in the dead of night. Now, look what has happened."

"I was just thinking that meeting him directly would draw too much attention. Aside from people from our paranormal forum, foreign forces have also infiltrated Dachang City. Only relying on our home turf advantage were we able to determine Yang Jian's residence in time. After all, all his information has already been encrypted.

Stealing his information has become nearly impossible, so if we keep delaying, we might become targets too."

"But this way, the mission is still a failure, not to mention we didn't even get a chance to talk," said Huang Fei.

"I don't think there's much else to say now. With his level, he's bound to be heavily cultivated and protected by the Exorcist headquarters. He definitely won't think about joining our paranormal forum. Although we didn't plan on successfully inviting him from the start and just wanted to make a friend, it seems like the timing was off."

"You two are useless, of no help at all."

At that moment, Lin Luomei, holding a megaphone, voiced out to them.

"Big Sister, you really shouldn't say that. I played a big role, didn't you see how successfully I used my neck to trap one of his hands just now? What does that tell you? It tells you that I can block one of his hands. It's just that we were a bit short on people. If there had been a few more, he definitely couldn't have choked us all."

Luo Su Yi said earnestly, "So, my abilities are still quite significant, look at Huang Fei, standing over there not daring to even fart. Yang Jian just looked at him, and he didn't dare move a muscle."

"Useless, haha," Lin Luomei continued to mock him with her megaphone.

"If you keep saying that, I'll get angry," Luo Su Yi warned.

"Useless, useless, useless..." the megaphone echoed the words.

Luo Su Yi raised his voice, "Enough! I admit I'm useless, okay? Besides, it's not shameful that I fell in front of Ghost Eye Yang Jian, right? If word gets out, it's not embarrassing."

"Not embarrassing, it's a lucky thing to be alive," Huang Fei replied. "Look around, where are we now?"

At that point, the group looked around and were shocked to find that they were no longer in Dachang City. They had no idea where they were, surrounded by woods with no nearby lights in sight.

After walking around, they realized they were on the outskirts of Dachang City.

"Just now, Yang Jian might have been preparing to kill all three of us, even the burial ground was chosen. He brought us out of Dachang City considering that once we died, the fierce ghost could escape. So he made preparations in advance, to not give our ghosts a chance to cause trouble in the city," said Huang Fei, a bit frightened. ṞάΝǑ฿Ës̩

Glancing at the spot where Yang Jian had sat revealed it wasn't a stone bench, but just a piece of wood on the ground.

Illusion?

No, illusion alone can't make one leave the city center and run dozens of kilometers away.

"Is it... the Ghost Domain, the same thing as that special forces captain Li Jun?" Luo Su Yi's expression turned grave, voicing his speculation.

"Eight or nine out of ten."

"Damn, I knew this had to be another freak," Luo Su Yi couldn't help cursing.

Those who could use ghosts in the Ghost Domain, although not necessarily very powerful, were definitely very difficult to deal with. As ghost manipulators themselves, those with the Ghost Domain could easily play others to death, not to mention that it seemed Yang Jian controlled more than one ghost.

Yang Jian kept his promise. After the forum administrator of that paranormal forum had carried out his request, he chose to let the person go.

Killing was easy, but if that minor incident would have brought a series of troubles, it wouldn't have been worth it.

After a beating, a warning, and receiving compensation, Yang Jian knew when to stop. If that hadn't worked, his only option would have been to make an example of them.

"Did something happen outside?" When Yang Jian appeared in the room, Zhang Liqin couldn't help but ask.

She had already gotten used to his sudden appearances.

Yang Jian said, "Nothing much, just a delivery that arrived."

"What delivery?" Zhang Liqin asked.

"Someone sent me a sum of money in the middle of the night; it almost moved me to tears. There aren't many good people left in society these days. I really should invite him for a meal sometime to express my thanks," Yang Jian said emotionally.

Zhang Liqin gave him a look, not believing his words one bit.

Without finishing her thought, she proactively wrapped herself around Yang Jian: "Oh, by the way, I thought of something just now and wanted to ask a favor of you."

"What is it?" Yang Jian asked.

"I definitely can't continue with the car sales job... how about I work for you from now on?" Zhang Liqin said softly.

Yang Jian said, "I don't have a company, so why would you work for me? Big Sister Jiang is handling personal finances."

"You could just start a company, that shouldn't be difficult for you," Zhang Liqin said. "If you want me to stay here, there should be a reason, right? Otherwise, it seems a bit improper."

Yang Jian thought for a moment, then suddenly felt as if he'd been caught off guard and quickly said, "You have a good point. I really should set up a company. Dachang City is so big; how can I manage without establishing some power of my own? When I have time, I'll discuss it with Uncle Zhang for some advice. After all, I really don't know anything about this kind of thing."

He was no legendary urban protagonist who was an all-rounder in life and work. Yang Jian only had some experience in dealing with supernatural events, but in other areas, he was a complete novice.

If not for Jiang Yan, an accountant, managing his personal finances, he wouldn't even know how to take over his assets in the Guanjiang Residential Complex.

"Great, then what position will you give me?" Zhang Liqin laughed.

She cared not for the position but for an excuse to stay by Yang Jian's side, to avoid idle gossip.

"With a figure like yours, you're definitely going to be the secretary," Yang Jian said.

"Then I look forward to the boss's care and attention in the future," Zhang Liqin winked, a little excited.

Faced with the seduction of this mature woman, Yang Jian did not feel any urge, remaining calm. He simply maintained a normal lifestyle out of habit.

But all of this was also an existence that could be or not be.
