Chapter 602 599 Falling and Not Dead

Although Yang Jian and Fang Shiming were desperately fighting on the top floor of Ping’an Tower, nobody outside was aware of it since it was happening within the third layer of the Ghost Domain.

At this moment.

Down at the base of the tower.

Li Jun, Chen Yi, Su Fan, and others had just finished dealing with Jang Shangbai’s situation, and had barely taken a breath of relief when they suddenly noticed changes around them.

The street lamps around them had all lit up at once, and that mysterious red light that seemed to cover the world above had vanished. Moreover, the previously empty streets were now filled with numerous vehicles, and the sounds of car horns could be heard.

Crowded roads, bustling sidewalks, and dazzling neon lights.

Everything had returned to the familiar night scene of the downtown area.

“Has the Ghost Domain disappeared?” Li Jun was stunned for a moment.

Then he became even more puzzled. They hadn’t done anything, so why had the Ghost Domain suddenly disappeared? Could it be that their friends had successfully dealt with the Ghost that was resurrecting within Yang Jian’s body? Or perhaps it was a ghost master who had been accidentally dragged into the situation and had reluctantly done a good deed, successfully resolving the incident?

As Li Jun puzzled over this.

“Damn, move aside! Something else is falling down.” Suddenly, Guo Fan’s alert startled him.

The others also instinctively looked up, but as soon as they raised their heads, they saw a dark figure flash past their field of vision and, after a loud noise, crash to the ground with great force.

The thick ground tiles at the entrance to the tower were blown apart and even the ground shook.

Such a loud noise and change immediately attracted the attention of nearby pedestrians.

Even though it was night.

There were no shortage of people passing by the entrance to Ping’an Tower.

“Watch out, two more people have fallen down.” Su Fan’s eyes narrowed. He only took a quick glance at the general situation, not bothering to identify the people who had fallen, and quickly retreated to a safe distance.

His phone screen flickered with a ghostly blue light, warning of “ghost” and “imminent death” in red letters.

This sort of alert was an absolute danger to him.

Su Fan believed that getting any closer would most likely mean losing his life right there.

From another perspective, the two bodies that had suddenly fallen were much scarier than Jang Shangbai, differing little from real ghastly ghosts.

“No way, it was shocking enough when Jang Shangbai fell, and now two more? Are they from the circle of friends?” someone exclaimed in alarm.

Cao Yang’s gaze flickered, “I didn’t see clearly; their heads seemed to have caved in. But judging by the appearance of one of the bodies, it looked somewhat familiar… like Yang Jian.”

“Yang Jian? Are you kidding me? How could his body be here, wasn’t his body left in the street over there?”

“With the ghost’s resurgence, it’s not unusual for a body to wander. What’s there to make a fuss about?”

People discussed, but even then, nobody dared to recklessly check the situation. Even Li Jun hesitated at this time because the two bodies that had fallen were very unusual, giving off a sense of extreme danger. On top of that, the Ghost Domain had just disappeared, which might be related to these two bodies.

“Nobody get close; let’s just observe for now. We can’t be sure that the people who fell are dead. Even for collecting the bodies, we should confirm their identities first. Chen Yi, go handle the crowd around us; don’t let them get involved,” Li Jun suggested.

Confirming their identities would provide a lot of information and facilitate the next steps.

After a short time for identification.

The situation of the two fallen bodies was confirmed.

One of the bodies was Yang Jian.

The other body was the president of the circle of friends, Fang Shiming.

“It really is Yang Jian? I was just saying it casually,” Cao Yang was somewhat astonished, not expecting that after the checks, the identity of the body turned out to be exactly what he had speculated.

“Something’s wrong; if Yang Jian’s body is here, then he couldn’t possibly have died in the prior supernatural incident. If he truly died, why would he appear at Ping’an Tower instead of anywhere else? Jang Shangbai was dealt with by him, right? Plus one Fang Shiming, this is obviously a targeted act,” Zong Shan offered his analysis.

“The report said Yang Jian was suspected to have died in a supernatural incident, which doesn’t necessarily mean he truly died. Looking at it now, the so-called supernatural incident might be man-made. Perhaps this has something to do with the circle of friends; didn’t he have a conflict with Jang Shangbai at the meeting yesterday morning?”

“That’s possible, so this is Yang Jian coming back for revenge.”

A few people, in just a few words and combining what they had seen and heard, were able to make a rough speculation about the whole incident.

They were ghost masters who had survived several supernatural events, and their response to the situation and information was naturally keen.

However, at this time.

The body lying on the ground suddenly moved again.

It was Fang Shiming’s body that moved first; the emaciated body falling from such a height did not smash apart, nor did it shatter into pieces. Instead, his body remained relatively intact, which seemed rather unbelievable.

His body struggled, rolled out, and moved away from Yang Jian’s side.

In the end, Fang Shiming broke free from Yang Jian’s ghastly pale, stiff hand and slowly stood up, but his neck was still twisted, and his head hung down in an odd posture, his eyes bloodshot with a mix of anger, shock, and lingering fear.

Just now, he had indeed nearly fallen to his death.

“Cough, cough!”

With a painful cough, Fang Shiming couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of clotted blood, then slowly took out another squashed, torn cloth doll from his pocket.

The cloth doll he had thrown out before was just a decoy.

Who would make such an obvious move at a critical time? It was all just to draw Yang Jian’s attention.

In the end, his disturbance of Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain appeared to be a struggle before death, but in truth, it was just to prevent Yang Jian from noticing the second cloth doll on his body.

“This guy, he’s totally insane, really willing to die with me,” Fang Shiming had never seen a newcomer like this before.

It’s a pity he had become a ghost controller for too long, and he was reaching his limit; otherwise, how could he possibly suffer a loss at the hands of such a novice?

“Fang Shiming is still alive?” someone recognized him, sounding incredibly incredulous.

Li Jun, Cao Yang, Su Fan, Xu Yiping…and others all watched him.

Fang Shiming glanced indifferently with a hint of confusion, as the gatherers here seemed to exceed his expectations, and none of them were from his circle of friends.

Were they here to support Yang Jian?

Feeling uneasy, he believed he should no longer stay here and should leave temporarily.

Having used up both Substitute Dolls and having employed plenty of the ghost’s capabilities, if he continued the fight, he would undoubtedly die and not survive.

The people who were originally here to support Jang Shangbai had been misunderstood by Fang Shiming, thinking they were here to support Yang Jian.

Fang Shiming, who had lost several hours of memory, did not understand the prior situation, so he prudently chose to retreat.

But he had barely taken a few steps when his face darkened.

Looking around at the bustling traffic and the converging pedestrians of Night City, he realized he was still within the Ghost Domain.

“This guy…” Fang Shiming abruptly turned his head to look at Yang Jian, lying on the ground already disfigured beyond recognition.

At that moment, Yang Jian’s body also began to move.

Having suffered shattered bones and a contorted body, he was now rapidly recovering; the Headless Ghost Shadow was starting to reassemble its body.

The curse of the Eight-Tone Music Box continued.

The familiar and eerie sound of the music box still echoed in Yang Jian’s consciousness, making it clear to him that he was not yet dead.

Only now, after that fall, his body had become mangled.

“No matter, I’ll repair it after this is over,” thought Yang Jian. Then, with one Ghost Eye fixed on Fang Shiming, his body twisted and shifted, gradually recovering to normal.

But this time his head was still intact, with no visible damage.

After the fall, he had consciously protected his head.

“Yang Jian isn’t dead either? This is a one hundred-story building,” Guo Fan was shocked internally.

The two of them now locked eyes again, as if back to the way they were at their first encounter.

This time, there was no contempt in Fang Shiming’s eyes, but instead an indescribable gravity.

Only after truly clashing did they both realize how incredibly difficult and terrifying the other was.

Yang Jian would have been killed if not for the curse of the Eight-Tone Music Box.

Fang Shiming wouldn’t have been able to withstand Yang Jian’s incomprehensible attacks if not for the impending revival of his powerful ghost.

One was cursed, the other on the verge of revival.

Both wielded the power of three ghosts within them.

This could be regarded as a match of equals, or in some ways, Fang Shiming was even more terrifying.

Because he blocked Yang Jian’s Ghost Hand and the suppression of three quotas with just one ghost.

And the power of that ghost had not even been used.

The only slight advantage Yang Jian had was the Ghost Domain.
