Mysterious Awakening

Yang Jian returned to Ping’an Hotel. His training program had barely begun a day before it was abruptly terminated, and he himself had nearly died at the base. If he hadn’t been cautious and brought enough lifesaving items, he would have now been a part of the Ghost Coffin, unable to come out alive.

As for the ghost now heading to the laboratory, he didn’t care.

What about Wang Xiaoming? He surely wasn’t lacking protection, and besides, the ghost now had an additional restraint upon it.

With this restraint in place, other ghost controllers should be safe.

"Wait, if the ghost now believes it can suppress zero ghosts, it’s safe for ghost controllers because they control at least one ghost, but for ordinary people, it remains a nightmare... Ordinary people don’t have ghosts within them, and in the eyes of the ghost, they might still be seen as alone," Yang Jian thought of another outcome that could arise from the ghost’s transformation while he was in the shower.

That would be the ghost not killing ghost controllers, but specifically targeting humans.

Had the rules changed?

What person could withstand an entity that could endlessly restart without decompression, which had been suppressing six ghosts, if it began to kill people deliberately?

"I need to pay attention to this ghost’s movements, and cannot completely disregard it; otherwise, the consequences it causes will be no less severe than the Hungry Ghost incident in Dachang City," Yang Jian furrowed his brows. He washed his body twice, sniffing himself.

He detested this feeling, as it made him feel like a corpse, more like a ghost.

"I should call Liu Xiaoyu again to inquire about the situation."

Although he did not want to deal with the Ghost Coffin incident anymore, he felt that if headquarters were to handle it, he could provide some informational support. After all, if the ghost could be completely confined, that would be a good thing. If it continued to wander unchecked as he suspected, the consequences could be vast,

Even affecting his own Dachang City. Who could guarantee that the ghostly entity wouldn’t decide to visit Dachang City one day?

Stepping out of the bathroom, he prepared to pick up the satellite phone and contact Liu Xiaoyu.

However, at this moment, a knock came from outside.

"Who is it?" Yang Jian called out.

"It’s me, Huang Ziya." A woman’s voice came from outside the door; it was Huang Ziya, who had returned to Ping’an Hotel with him.

Yang Jian walked over to open the door and said, "What’s the matter?"

Huang Ziya, who had also just taken a shower and was dressed in a bathrobe, her hair still wet, smiled and said, "Can’t I find you if there’s nothing wrong? I haven’t properly thanked you for earlier. If it weren’t for you, I definitely would have died at the training base."

"No need to thank me. I was merely trying to survive, and the rules of the fierce ghost coincidentally required teammates; otherwise, I would have run by myself long ago," Yang Jian said.

"But you still saved us. Won’t you invite me to sit inside?" Huang Ziya said.

"Then come in and sit for a while, but I still have some things to deal with. If you have something to say, get on with it. I’m not fond of beating around the bush," Yang Jian said.

"You’re probably not very good with people, do you always talk like this?" Huang Ziya walked in, smiling as she looked at Yang Jian,

"Is socializing important to people like us? Politeness, hypocrisy, smooth-talking, what’s the use? Ghosts won’t spare you from death just because you’re polite. The world is changing, I can feel it. In the future, top ghost controllers will influence the whole world’s evolution, so what we need to think about now is how to stay alive," Yang Jian said offhandedly.

He believed that interpersonal relationships were not important. Instead of spending time studying them, it was better to consider how to solve one’s own problems.

Huang Ziya sat on the sofa and nodded slightly, "You really are a unique existence, the fabled Ghost Eye Yang Jian."

A look of admiration appeared in her eyes before she continued,

"By the way, I heard from Zhang Lei that a beauty had stayed here before?"

"What do you want to know about that for?" Yang Jian’s gaze shifted slightly; she must be referring to Li Yao.

Huang Ziya smoothed the hair beside her ear and revealed a touching smile, "Does this mean that you still have feelings for women? That’s already better than most ghost masters. I am a woman, after all, if you need, I can stay and keep you company for a few days."

"You’re getting the wrong idea, it’s just pure relaxation and venting, I won’t interfere with your private life."

Yang Jian paused for a moment.

It was his first time encountering such a situation.

What’s this?

Was he being hit on?

"What? You’re not actually being shy, are you? Or do you think I don’t have a good figure, and you’re not into me?" Huang Ziya laughed, her eyes roaming over Yang Jian.

She felt no shame; after all, when you don’t even know how long you’ll live, what’s there to lose?

If she could become closer friends with Yang Jian, then she would have the care of a top-tier ghost master in the future.

"No, I just think you’re being a bit too enthusiastic," Yang Jian said calmly.

Huang Ziya stood up and walked towards Yang Jian, "An enthusiastic woman is more popular, right? We’re all adults here, no need to be so uptight."

Yang Jian thought for a moment, then declined, "Let’s not, I’m really not in the mood at the moment."

"You won’t even consider it when I’m offering myself so readily? You wouldn’t make me go back just like that, would you?" Huang Ziya said with a smile.

"Not in the mood," Yang Jian shook his head, "I’ve got other things to deal with."

"Alright then, when you feel like it, just contact me. It would be a pity if I accidentally died one of these days." Seeing that Yang Jian truly was not interested, Huang Ziya extinguished that thought and left her phone number.

"Here’s my number, call me if you need anything."

Yang Jian said, "Okay, I’ll call you if I need to, and by the way, please shut the door on your way out."

Bang!

The door closed, and Huang Ziya seemed somewhat disappointed as she left.

As she prepared to return to her place, at the corner of the corridor, Zhang Lei and Wang Jiang were leaning against the wall.

"I told you he’s not interested in you," Zhang Lei’s rigid face displayed a strange smile, "Wang Jiang, you’ve lost, remember to treat me to a meal tomorrow."

Wang Jiang muttered, "I thought I had this one in the bag."

"How come you two jerks didn’t die in the training base?" Huang Ziya’s face darkened, and with a toss of her head, she left.

After she was gone, Zhang Lei said, "Speaking of which, why does she go for Yang Jian and not come to me? I can also... you know."

"Go for you? You’d scare someone to death if you took off your clothes," Wang Jiang said, "Who would be interested in someone with a human head growing out of their chest?"

"That’s true, and I don’t have Yang Jian’s ability to turn the tides either. Otherwise, even with three heads, there’d be beauties chasing after me," Zhang Lei shrugged, "Let’s go, the show’s over, time to sleep." Enjoy exclusive adventures from

And after they left.

Inside the suite.

Yang Jian turned on the satellite positioning phone, "Liu Xiaoyu, it’s me, Yang Jian. How’s the situation over at the lab? Have Wang Xiaoming and his crew encountered the ghost yet?"
