Chapter 471: Chapter 468: A Pair of Embroidered Shoes
Qian Yi, as one of the survivors who had lived through this supernatural event, died due to his severe injuries, which was admittedly a somewhat stifling way to die for a necromancer.
Others were either killed by the resurrection of powerful ghosts or murdered by ghosts, and it was rare to see someone die from injuries.
But his death was within Yang Jianâs expectations.
After all, he had been lying on the ground bleeding continuously, so it would have been strange if he had survived; the fact that he hadnât been killed by that ghost on the spot was already fortunate.
At this moment, Yang Jian was staring at Qian Yiâs corpse.
The others also noticed his gaze and turned to look at the body on the ground.
âŠ
âQian Yi is dead?â Huang Ziya seemed somewhat surprised, as Qian Yi had still been alive when she had used the Ghost Candle to lure away the Ghost Rope.
She hadnât expected this man to die after the supernatural event was over.
âDead is dead, will there be a shortage of deaths today? If this guy hadnât tricked us once, we wouldnât have had to take that risk earlier.â Zhang Lei glanced over, he had been the one to persuade Yang Jian to set aside their differences temporarily and join forces with Qian Yi for the greater good.
Now that the supernatural event was over, this personâs life or death was no longer important.
A person willing to harm even his teammates, who would sooner or later become a scourge possessing two ghosts, was someone he looked down upon, so he wouldnât say anything good even in death.
Wang Jiang said beside them, âWait, if this person is dead, doesnât that mean it is very likely that the ghost inside his body could appear?â
âYouâre right, thatâs a good reminder.â Zhang Lei was suddenly startled.

At this moment, the corpse of Qian Yi, already dead, began to convulse, and then his legs eerily stood up, but his upper body was bent over as if broken and fell backwards like a snapped sapling, his once peaceful, dead face now eerily facing the crowd.
âNot good, the ghost in his body is indeed trying to escape. Whatâs in his file? Does anyone remember? We need to handle this quickly,â another necromancer said urgently upon seeing this.
âI havenât seen his file, so how could anyone going through the training be expected to look at each personâs file.â Zhang Lei looked solemn, carefully retreating back, as in his current state he was not fit for direct contact with ghosts.
âYang Jian, should we just leave it? We probably donât have the capacity to handle another supernatural event right now, do we?â
Huang Ziya and Wang Jiang, as well, who each controlled a ghost, were not in a good state after the supernatural event and started to get nervous.
Yang Jian glanced over and spoke slowly, âThis is just the most common supernatural event. Qian Yi did not die from the resurrection of a fierce ghost. This ghost can still be controlled, even an ordinary person could handle it. Donât worry, Iâll deal with it.â
He walked over boldly, not showing any fear.
Just the presence of the Headless Ghost Shadow could fully suppress the ghost inside Qian Yiâs body, as he had already tried it before.
However, the eerily standing Qian Yi seemed not too keen on letting Yang Jian approach, his legs as if controlled, quickly walked forward, taking just a few steps before his body appeared more than a hundred meters away.
âWhat the hell?â The others saw this scene and were immediately shocked.
The corpse had just been here, so how had it gotten so far away after just a few steps?
âSimilar to the abilities of the Ghost Domain, but not the same, able to traverse distances without concern?â Yang Jianâs eyes narrowed. He took a step forward and appeared right in front of Qian Yiâs body, over a hundred meters away.
Underneath the Headless Ghost Shadow, Qian Yiâs body immediately lost some mysterious force and collapsed to the ground.
Yang Jianâs gaze turned to the pair of shoes on Qian Yiâs body.
They were a pair of ordinary leather shoes.
However, this was his Ghost Domain, real supernatural phenomena couldnât escape his eyes. Yang Jian crouched down and took off the leather shoes from Qian Yiâs legs.
The true supernatural revealed its face.
Inside the leather shoes, Qian Yiâs feet were wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes.
They resembled the style from the Republic of China Period but were somewhat worn. The red pattern was slightly eerie, giving off an unpleasant feeling.
Moreover, the shoes were very small, a man couldnât possibly fit into them, but Qian Yi had, his large feet twisted and deformed, clearly having been forcibly put on.
âA woman with bound feet would be the right fit for controlling these ghostly things, men better not even try,â Yang Jian said as he took off the red embroidered shoes.
In his hands, the pair of shoes seemed to have lost their supernatural aura and had become just an ordinary item.
That was the result of suppression.
He took the embroidered shoes back to where he had been, then found a golden box in his suitcase, placed the shoes inside, and locked it.
âJust a pair of shoes?â Zhang Lei asked, slightly surprised.
Yang Jian said, âTheyâre an oddity, and they might be useful.â
He reflected on the situation before; these shoes could move freely within his Ghost Domain. If they were revived, they might even force their way out of his Ghost Domain, or possibly even do something more formidable.
Yang Jian hadnât encountered many such peculiar items. So far, he had only come into contact with a few, such as mortuary clothes, the Ghost Cabinet, and the Ghost RopeâŠ
Moreover, these types of items were different from ordinary ghosts. To some extent, if you could control them, they could play a very important role, and you wouldnât have to worry about the resurrection of fierce ghosts, as when he had previously controlled the Ghost Rope.
A revived ghost had been forcefully used as a tool to restrict other ghosts, which was both handy and convenient.
Unfortunately⊠the item was now taken away by the ghost in the coffin, and it was uncertain whether there would be a chance to retrieve it in the future.
âThe matter is over, itâs time to leave the training base, as itâs not very safe here; moreover, I might need to visit Professor Wangâs laboratory,â Yang Jian said as he packed his belongings and looked back.
It was time for him to carry out the final clean-up.
He opened his three Ghost Eyes, and then superimposed them with no suspense. In an instant, he opened three layers of the Ghost Domain.
To ensure there were no supernatural threats around him, and also to determine whether the ghost that had been released from the bottle was lingering nearby.
After opening the three layers of the Ghost Domain, he didnât feel any resurgence of fierce ghosts. His Ghost Eyes were calm, as if they had crashed. The Coffin Nail that had merged with his hand and the three ghosts within him had reached a perfect balance. He felt unusually good, like he had become an ordinary person with supernatural abilities.
After three seconds of opening the three layers of the Ghost Domain, Yang Jian retracted them.
Those three seconds were enough for him to ascertain the situation around him.
âNo discoveries.â
Yang Jian frowned; âEven in the three layers of the Ghost Domain, I didnât see any ghosts around. Did the ghost from the bottle run away, or was it taken by the Ghost Coffin?â
He felt it was more likely taken by the Ghost Coffin.
Since it was confirmed to be safe, that was all that mattered.
Immediately, he picked up his luggage bag and turned to walk out of the training base.
âYang Jian, where are you going now?â Others saw Yang Jian preparing to leave and hurriedly followed.
Among the few remaining people, it seemed that Yang Jian had become the sole pillar.
Yang Jian said, âIâm planning to go back to the hotel for a bath, then rest for a bit.â
âDidnât headquarters say weâre not supposed to go back to J city for the time being?â Huang Ziya said in surprise.
Yang Jian replied, âHeadquarters is concerned about your conditions, afraid that, like our classmate Wang Jiang, you might suddenly have a ghostly resurgence in Pingâan Hotel. Although I donât know if youâll have a ghost resurgence, I definitely wonât, so itâs best to heed headquartersâ order, agree superficially to save face for them, but after hanging up the phone, you do as you please.â
âWould headquarters really trouble you over such a trivial matter? Donât be naive. Right now, headquarters is still busy dealing with the recent supernatural incident.â
âWe may have survived, but the supernatural event isnât over; that ghost is still out there. In the face of such a big issue, our movements wonât be of concern as long as we donât cause trouble.â
Wang Jiang paused, âThat makes sense, in which case Iâll also go back to the hotel to rest.â
Yang Jian said, âBeing willful is only okay if you know your limits. Decide for yourself.â
With that, he left without looking back.
He had already cleared up everything in the training base. The corpse of the ghost controller, the bodies of the victims, were all placed on the ground, ready for collection. Moreover, he had confirmed that there were no more supernatural events occurring within the entire training base.
Who else could do such a thorough job?
