Delivering this red letter was indeed a bit troublesome.
Not only was the place where the letter was to be sent eerie, actually a graveyard, but the destination was also troublesome, going to Ye Zhenâs Dahai City, which wasnât within headquartersâ jurisdiction. This was headquarters conceding to the supernatural forum, essentially acknowledging Ye Zhen as the person in charge of Dahai City.
If such a situation had occurred now, it wouldnât be an issue; after all, supernatural incidents were on the rise, and the situation was starting to spiral out of control, so it was normal for headquarters to give ground.
But itâs worth noting that before Yang Jian became a ghost master, Ye Zhen had already been the boss of Dahai City, when headquartersâ control was still in effect.
So, this experience alone was enough to make people wary.
However, at this very moment.
At Dahan Cityâs airport, a private plane had already taken off, currently en route to Dahai City.
Inside the aircraft cabin.
Sun Rui held a golden cane, his expression solemn as he glanced out the window, âAs soon as the plane moves, the travel information has been sent to Dahai Cityâs airport. They definitely know about my private plane there, so before we reach Dahai City, people from the supernatural forum will receive the news and make contact with us.â
âOf course, my influence is not enough to make Ye Zhen care, but his subordinates are also tough to deal with. Iâm not confident that we can make it to Dahai City smoothly.â
âAfter all, people from the supernatural forum are very resistant to headquartersâ officials.â
Unlike social circles, the supernatural forum is a private force and rarely cooperates with headquarters, so itâs a bit harder to deal with.
âSurely we wonât start fighting upon meeting. Three officials are here, would the supernatural forum dare to strike? If they really dare, it would mean a fallout with headquarters.â
Yang Jianâs expression remained calm, âBesides, Dahai City is merely headquartersâ concession to the supernatural forum. It doesnât mean that Ye Zhen is the official person in charge there, as he is not legitimate, not recognized.â
âThat may be so, but in Dahai City, Ye Zhen is the law.â
Sun Rui touched his cane and spoke in a suppressed voice, âCaptain Yang, youâve dealt with Fang Shiming, so you should know what kind of temperament these top figures have.â
âIf things really turn nasty, each one of them is lawless, not even Jesus could control them.â
Yang Jianâs eyes narrowed slightly.
Indeed, ghost masters of this caliber were no longer restrained.
When he previously had conflicts with social circles, Fang Shiming ignored Cao Yanhuaâs warning in front of headquarters and directly used Ghost Scissors to take him out.
In the end⊠headquarters actually compromised.
After that incident, he felt disheartened, but putting personal emotions aside, this decision also signified that individuals like Fang Shiming truly had the clout to stand up to headquarters.
âWhere is the plane now?â Yang Jian suddenly asked.
âJust left Dahan City not long agoâŠâ Sun Rui said.
Yang Jian said, âTake a detour, circle over Dachang City, then head to Dahai City. I need to pick something up.â
âDo we need to land?â asked Sun Rui.
Yang Jian said, âNo need.â
âAlright, got it.â Sun Rui nodded and immediately instructed the pilot to change course towards Dachang City.
Such arbitrary changes to flight paths were definitely not allowed, but as an official in charge, he had this privilege, as they had to be prepared for many contingencies.
About ten minutes later, Sun Ruiâs private jet arrived in the skies above Dachang City.
Sitting in the luxurious cabin, Yang Jianâs gaze shifted, his ghostly eye suddenly opened, and a strange light peeked towards Guanjiang Residential Complex in Dachang City. The Ghost Domain also opened at this moment.
A flash of red light streaked through, falling from the sky into the residential complex.
The Ghost Domain covered the area, silent and unnoticed. The residents of Guanjiang Residential Complex had no reaction at all, for the red light within the Ghost Domain was invisible to anyone unless Yang Jian wished it to be seen.
But not everyone was unresponsive.
Inside the complex.
A woman with pale skin and a cold expression, as if devoid of any emotion, slightly lifted her head looking toward the sky.
âShanshan, what are you looking at?â
Wang Haiyan, who accompanied Wang Shanshan on a walk within the complex, asked in surprise.
Wang Shanshan said emotionlessly, âIâm looking at Yang Jian.â
Wang Haiyan was perplexed and looked up as well, but she didnât see anything. No, it wasnât that there was nothing, a plane flew by from a distance, passing over their complex.
âYang Jian, what are you planning to do?â Wang Shanshan inquired as if talking to herself.
In her vision, the surrounding area of the complex was covered in a layer of red light, many people were enveloped in the Ghost Domain, yet they were completely unaware.
Only she could see everything within the Ghost Domain, unaffected.
Because Wang Shanshan had special characteristics, she had been eroded by the supernatural power of the ghostly eye before.
Yang Jian did not appear, but his voice echoed within the Ghost Domain, âJust to be on the safe side, I need to take the Ghost Child with me this time. I need it.â
Wang Shanshan glanced to one side.
A child dressed in dirty, old black shrouds, with skin a bluish-black hue and eyes tinged red, was standing behind a tree, tilting its head and peeking around.
Normally the Ghost Child wandered within the complex.
Because the complex was large, and the Ghost Child always purposely avoided crowds, nobody had yet discovered that there was such a horrifying entity being kept here.
âThen you must remember to bring it back, donât lose it,â Wang Shanshan said, not stopping him.
She was very aware that if Yang Jian needed to use the Ghost Child, it meant that the situation was very troublesome.
And Yang Jian was the key to maintaining everything; he couldnât die, otherwise, there would be no point in the existence of either the Ghost Child or herself.
âOf course, I wouldnât want to lose such a thing. Itâs about time I left,â Yang Jianâs voice echoed and then quickly disappeared.
The red world dissipated, and everything silently returned to its original state.
Nothing around had changed.
The only difference was that the Ghost Child, which had been hiding behind the tree just moments ago, had vanished.
Wang Shanshan withdrew her gaze and as if talking to herself said, âYang Jian has left.â
Wang Haiyan, hearing her daughter speak like this, couldnât help but feel an inexplicable shudder. The empty surroundings contained no third person besides them. She wondered whether her daughter Wang Shanshan was truly conversing with Yang Jian or speaking with some unknown entity.
Or perhaps she was simply talking to herself.
However, at this moment.
The plane above had already flown far away, leaving the skies over Dachang City, heading toward Dahai City.
âThereâs something appearing on the planeâŠâ
All of a sudden, Li Yangâs expression shifted, and he immediately turned to look toward the empty airplane cabin behind him.
âIs that so?â Sun Ruiâs eyebrows rose as he looked at Yang Jian.
Without a doubt, Yang Jian had just used the Ghost Domain, which extended over a vast area, already covering some part of Dachang City from the skies above.
And in that minute just now, Yang Jian could have done many things, even though he himself hadnât moved from his seat.
âDonât be nervous, I brought something with me to Dachang City,â Yang Jian paused, then added, âItâs a ghost.â
âWhat?â
Sun Rui and Li Yangâs eyes instantly widened as they looked at Yang Jian in unison.
Their looks were filled with shock and disbelief.
What kind of joke was this?
Yang Jian had brought a ghost onto the plane? What was he planning to do?
Yang Jian wondered, âWhy? You all seem quite tense. Thereâs no need to make a big fuss over this, is there?â
âTeam Yang, are you sure itâs a ghost youâve brought onto the plane, and not a ghost handler?â Sun Rui asked.
Yang Jian replied, âWhatâs the difference? Arenât they the same thing?â
âIf itâs a ghost handler, then itâs not a big deal, but if itâs a ghost⊠things could go very wrong. Team Yang, have you not considered safety?â
Sun Rui said this and couldnât help but glance toward the empty cabin behind them again.
Was the ghost in there?
Just the thought was enough to make him feel uneasy.
Yang Jian said, âItâs a ghost, not a ghost handler, but you can rest assured, I can control it. I brought it just in case. Although I do not wish to conflict with the people from the Supernatural Forum, we also need to be prepared in case a conflict does arise.â
âThatâs all well and good, but how can you control this ghost?â Sun Rui furrowed his brows deeply, finding it hard to comprehend.
Yang Jian had too many secrets, and many things he did were beyond the scope of an ordinary ghost handler. For instance, he could freely use the powers of fierce ghosts without fear of revival, and he was unusually fit, a fact known to any who cared to investigate. And around him were a few women entangled in his life.
Furthermore, he knew many bizarre things that even they couldnât find out.
Yang Jian said, âThatâs my secret. You donât need to pry. Even if you asked, I wouldnât tell.â
âSince thatâs the case, I wonât ask anymore. However, Team Yang, you should still be cautious. After all, itâs a ghost, and if it gets out of control, it might attack us first,â Sun Rui said, somewhat uneasy.
Yang Jian nodded, âI measure my actions, and Iâm not one to court death.â
âThese top figures are crazier one than the other, completely beyond the comprehension of normal people,â Sun Rui thought to himself.
The Ghost Child was hiding inside the cabin, kept there by Yang Jian as a last resort.
If possible, it would stay on the plane until the matter was resolved and then return to Dachang City.
If something unexpected did happen, the Ghost Child would be instantly recalled to Yang Jianâs side.
After all, as long as it was within the bounds of Dahai City, Yang Jian could make this happen.
But if it was between Dahai City and Dachang City, spanning the distance of both places, Yang Jianâs Ghost Domain couldnât do it instantly, and it would take several minutes instead.
In times of danger, several minutes were too long, and even one minute could decide life or death.
Soon.
Sun Ruiâs private plane arrived at the airport in Dahai City.
However, just as the plane had landed, and the door began to open, an alarm sounded inside the plane.
âWhatâs going on?â Sun Rui stood up, leaning on his cane and frowned as he asked.
But before his assistant on the plane could report the situation, several vehicles had already surrounded the plane outside, and a group of people burst aggressively into the cabin.
âWho is Sun Rui?â
The leader, a man dressed in a suit and coat, wearing sunglasses, and with the demeanor of a boss, asked with a cold face.
âI am. Whatâs the matter?â
Sun Rui hobbled over, leaning on his cane, his expression also cold and wary.
âYouâre Sun Rui from Dahan City? Got quite the nerve to come to Dahai City without informing us at the Supernatural Forum. That we didnât shoot down your private plane is already giving face to headquarters,â the man said sharply. âEnough talk, Iâll give you one piece of advice: turn around and leave immediately. If you dare step off the plane, youâre dead.â
The man was domineering and imposing, not even allowing Sun Rui, a person in charge, to disembark and demanding that he return the way he came.
Upon hearing these words, Li Yang immediately got somewhat angry, âYouâre going too far, thatâs completely lawless! Unless the headquarters orders it, you have no right to make such demands.â
âSun Rui, is this your man?â
The man in sunglasses apparently didnât recognize Li Yang, so after a glance, he directly asked.
Sun Ruiâs gaze flickered, aware of how verbose people from the Supernatural Forum could be. He had thought that slipping by unnoticed wouldnât be a problem since he was just delivering a letter and didnât intend to interact with these people. But now it seemed that the Supernatural Forumâs folks were not willing to let him go so easily.
He was being blocked right off the plane.
âHis name is Li Yang, not my man, but his,â Sun Rui tapped his cane, gesturing toward the side.
Yang Jian stood up at that moment, turned around, and said, âIs Ye Zhen so domineering? Treating Dahai City as if it were his own, not even allowing others to visit.â
âHmm?â
The man leading with sunglasses saw this and immediately narrowed his eyes, his body tensing slightly before he said with a serious face, âYou are⊠Ghost Eye, Yang Jian?â
âIt seems you know me? Thatâs good, it saves me a lot of trouble,â Yang Jian said.
âThis is seriousâŠâ The man was filled with uncertainty and apprehension.
If it had been just Sun Rui, he wouldnât have hesitated to force him to leave Dahai City, but who could have expected that Sun Ruiâs private plane would also have Yang Jian on it.
