Chapter 810 777: Bizarre

After a thorough discussion.

Yang Jian’s team has initially taken shape smoothly, with no conflicts or disagreements; what remains is for members to familiarize with each other and gradually adjust.

“Let’s tentatively settle the team matters like this for now, and we can discuss the remaining issues slowly later. It’s getting late, let’s have a meal first, and in the afternoon I will show you around Dachang City and arrange for your accommodation in Guanjiang Residential Complex.”

He glanced at the time and did not continue.

“Zhang Liqin.” Afterwards, Yang Jian called out again.

“President Yang, what’s the matter?”

Zhang Liqin hurriedly came out from the adjacent safe house.

Yang Jian said, “Help me get the meals from the cafeteria, we will eat here later.”

“Okay.” Zhang Liqin immediately turned around and left.

“By the way, Brother Tui, I heard you and Li Yang are investigating a supernatural incident recently; can you talk about it? If help is needed, we can all take action together.” Suddenly, Feng Quan asked.

“It’s about the Ghost Post Office in Dahan City, involving some artifacts from the Republic of China Period. It has just started and currently does not require assistance, but if needed, we will ask for your help,” Yang Jian spoke, not intending to hide anything.

Feng Quan continued, “I’ve also been investigating the recent matter involving Pei Dong, who has suffered from the Pendulum Clock Curse. I plan to identify the location of this curse, which might solve the problem of ghost resurrection. Pei Dong has lived a long time through this curse; although it’s risky, it’s worth a try.”

“That matter could use some time to follow up with.”

Yang Jian nodded: “You alone might not be enough, see if Tong Qian has time to accompany you there.”

“I will ask her shortly,” Feng Quan said.

Yang Jian mentioned, “If it gets dangerous, just contact us, or you could delay it until I finish investigating the Ghost Post Office matter, then take action.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Tui, I am cautious now, having learned from the last lesson,” Feng Quan said.

During their conversation.

At this moment, Tong Qian walked in with Chen Shumei, looking at Yang Jian, and directly spoke, “Miss Chen has made a decision, asking for your help in resurrecting Xiong Wenwen. What do you think?”

Yang Jian set aside the previous topic and looked towards Chen Shumei.

Chen Shumei was no longer crying; her emotions had stabilized. She said, “Captain Yang, I plead with you.”

Yang Jian gestured and said, “For me, it’s just a minor effort. But Aunt Chen you should be aware that after resurrection, Xiong Wenwen will no longer be a living human. He won’t have the body of a living person. Did you see that paper figure in the room earlier? That’s the body prepared by the association headquarters for Xiong Wenwen. He will be resurrected in that paper figure.”

“Moreover, unless unforeseen, Xiong Wenwen will stay like that for life, and won’t be able to return to being a normal person.”

“I, I understand.”

Chen Shumei bit her lip, struggling and in pain internally. Yet despite this, she still didn’t want to lose Xiong Wenwen.

“That’s just one aspect; resurrecting Xiong Wenwen might carry risks. If the resurrection fails, or if the wrong entity is resurrected, all of us will take action to deal with it immediately. Even if you, Aunt Chen, want to stop it, we won’t agree,” Yang Jian added.

“I understand this as well,” Chen Shumei nodded, prepared to take the gamble.

“Captain, actually I could arrange a living body for Xiong Wenwen. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?”

On the sofa, Huang Ziya ran her fingers over a crystal pendant at her neck and added a reminder.

Depending on the Deceiving Ghost to alter reality.

Maybe a body could be created out of thin air.

“It’s not that simple. When Xiong Wenwen was trapped in the photo, he was already in the stage of ghost resurrection. It was just that the Ghost Camera went out of control and forcibly interrupted the process. Thus, an ordinary human body cannot host Xiong Wenwen; a special body is needed, otherwise, the moment of resurrection might invite ghost possession,” Yang Jian explained.

“The headquarters’ solution is to use Leuk San’s paper figure. This paper figure possesses supernatural power and should be able to counteract the ghost within Xiong Wenwen’s body. Of course, failure is still a possibility.”

“It’s just a higher probability than with an ordinary body.”

Yang Jian explained the reasons,

“I see,” Huang Ziya realized upon hearing this.

Yang Jian said again, “Since Aunt Chen has made up her mind, let it be this way, we will resurrect Xiong Wenwen this afternoon.”

“I entrust everything to Captain Yang.” Chen Shumei was somewhat excited, but more nervous and uneasy.

“I have conditions too. If Xiong Wenwen is successfully resurrected, she must join my team, and you cannot interfere with how I use her.”

Yang Jian then looked at her and said, “After all, we must keep matters separate. I hope you can understand that. If you can’t, reject it now.”

Chen Shumei’s eyes hesitated slightly, understanding that Captain Yang was willing to spend time finding a way to save Xiong Wenwen not because of her pleas, but because of Wenwen’s value.

After all, her beauty has no appeal in front of this Captain Yang.

“I, I agree to Captain Yang. If Wenwen successfully comes back to life, I will let her join your team, Captain Yang, and I won’t interfere.”

Chen Shumei struggled inwardly and had no room to refuse, only able to agree.

“He is still a child, isn’t reuniting with his family a good thing? Why drag him into the supernatural circle?” Tong Qian helped to interject.

Yang Jian calmly said, “Because Xiong Wenwen is a ghost master, it’s just that simple.”

“Being a supernatural being, how could she possibly live a peaceful life with ordinary people.”

Tong Qian paused for a moment, thought of her own experiences, and that of her presence making her family and relatives really fearful of her.

Sometimes they even trembled when talking to her.

With a helpless sigh in her heart, she didn’t say anything further.

At this time, Zhang Liqin and Jiang Yan pushed in the food cart filled with a variety of exquisite, fresh food, clearly not the employee meals from the canteen but specially prepared by the head chef of the cafeteria arranged by Zhang Liqin.

“It’s time to eat, everyone, I hope the food here meets everyone’s taste,” said Zhang Liqin with a smile.

At that moment, Jiang Yan left the food cart and came over, giggling and sat down beside Yang Jian, clinging to his arm, coquettishly asking, “Haven’t seen me for a few days, did you miss me?”

“No,” Yang Jian replied truthfully.

“I don’t believe that, Elder Sister Qin told me you asked where I went as soon as you arrived.”

Jiang Yan squinted her eyes, smiling even happier, “By the way, guess how much investment I brought in for you yesterday?”

After speaking, she tilted her head back slightly, appearing as if waiting for praise.

“Not interested,” Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan suddenly pouted and kept staring at Yang Jian.

“Captain, she’s not your girlfriend, is she? She looks plain, nothing special, her figure isn’t good, neither is her height, not to mention her chest… tsk tsk,” Huang Ziya remarked, glancing over Jiang Yan with a mocking laugh.

Jiang Yan immediately got infuriated like a provoked hen and immediately turned her head to look over.

She hadn’t paid attention earlier.

Now taking a closer look, she noticed a woman of perfect figure and unbelievable beauty sitting across on the couch.

Long thick black hair hanging down to her pert buttocks, a slender waist as if drawn from an anime, so perfect it was almost unbelievable, with a stunning chest that could rival Elder Sister Qin’s, no, by estimation, about the same.

“Damn, what does this girl eat to grow up like that, not gaining weight anywhere else?” A jealous cry echoed inside Jiang Yan’s heart.

She felt defeated the very first moment their eyes met.

This is a woman that even women would be envious of.

Thus, Jiang Yan’s momentum was instantly suppressed, she meekly muttered, “It’s none of your business, after all, I am Yang Jian’s girlfriend, and I can go back to Yang Jian’s hometown to meet relatives during the New Year.”

“She doesn’t seem too smart and from any perspective, does not match up to you, Captain. Why not consider breaking up with her and try dating me? Just give me a nod, Captain, and I could be yours tonight. The strongest captain deserves the first beauty of the supernatural circle, that’s a match,” Huang Ziya teased with a raised eyebrow and a light laugh.

At these words, Jiang Yan suddenly became inexplicably panicked and uneasy, feeling a huge threat.

Her heart suddenly became chaotic.

For a moment, she felt totally out of place, as if she was about to be abandoned and left behind.

The gentle smile on Zhang Liqin’s face next to her also stiffened.

She had never imagined that this exceptionally beautiful woman had been harboring feelings for Yang Jian and was so brazen about it, daring to speak such words in front of so many people.

“She wouldn’t really accept, right?” Zhang Liqin’s heart was also pounding.

If Jiang Yan were to be broken up with, her position as a secretary wouldn’t fare much better; resignation wouldn’t be far off.

When a new person rises, the old ones must exit.

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t have come to this.

But this woman named Huang Ziya was too dazzling, with such beauty and figure, it was as if she was created by computer editing, flawless, a temptation no man could resist.

Jiang Yan couldn’t dare to speak by this point, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked up at Yang Jian.

Her expression was like that of a little wife about to be abandoned, pitiful and helpless.

On the other hand, Li Yang, Feng Quan, and Tong Qian simply didn’t care about this affair, calmly continuing to eat.

Zhang Han paused for a moment as he looked up, but soon he buried his head back in his food and drink, thinking to himself: What a messy circle.

“You are stirring up trouble. If you do this again next time, I will expose your true form,” Yang Jian said calmly.

Huang Ziya’s gaze shrank, and she said with a scoff, “No, no, you’re the team leader, you call the shots. I take back my words from earlier, I will absolutely not say them in front of your little girlfriend again.”

She definitely didn’t want to revert to her original form.

Although her previous appearance wasn’t ugly, she couldn’t accept it now.

It’s hard to transition from extravagance to frugality.

“Brother Tui will not be interested in you, you might as well give up. You are just a pretty shell, but who dares to touch you? Maybe at night while sleeping, one might accidentally be strangled to death by your hair. Even if not strangled, waking up to see your true form one day might scare someone to death.”

“That’s nothing compared to others who are youthful, cute, and full of vitality,” Feng Quan commented while eating.

Huang Ziya was still full of confidence: “That’s why the team leader fits my criteria better.”

Feng Quan didn’t bother with her anymore, as long as she didn’t pester him, let Brother Tui deal with the headache.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the crisis was far from over; she still watched Huang Ziya with full alertness, as if viewing a rival in love.

Yang Jian did not waste more time on this issue, instead turning to say, “After we finish eating, we will return to Guanjiang Residential Complex in the afternoon to prepare for the resurrection of Xiong Wenwen.”

“Thank you, Team Yang,” said Chen Shumei, who had been silent and graceful.

Yang Jian waved his hand to indicate, no more words, and began to eat.

“Is there another one?”

Jiang Yan stared sharply at Chen Shumei for a long time.

Damn it.

Another beauty more gorgeous than me.

Where did all these people come from? How come there was no hint of them before?

“Bang, bang bang.”

During the meal, a dull thumping sound came from the room next door, oppressive and eerie.

Tong Qian put down her chopsticks and looked over: “What’s inside that coffin in your safe house?”

She was sensitive to sounds, immediately identifying the source of the noise.

A coffin?

Jiang Yan’s face tightened instantly, and she stealthily looked at Yang Jian, not daring to speak recklessly.

She knew the reason; the coffin had been brought from Yang Jian’s hometown, and it contained a corpse… and also a ghost.

The others became alert instantly.

“Don’t be nervous, this is just some normal noise that happens occasionally,” Yang Jian said composedly as he stood up and walked into the adjacent safe room.

He took out the paper figurine, then closed the safe room.

“I keep the coffin inside for safety regularly, but it wouldn’t be a problem even if I left it outside casually, as it houses a ghost, which is currently in a particular state.”

“A ghost? Isn’t that very dangerous?” Feng Quan asked in amazement.

Yang Jian pondered for a moment; “Yes, it would indeed be very dangerous if it revived. If we really faced it, all of us together might end up annihilated.”

“An S-class fierce ghost?” Li Yang widened his eyes.

“In a sense, yes. But don’t worry, I am trying to control that ghost. If successful, whether domestically or abroad, we will become the strongest team of ghost controllers,” Yang Jian said.

“Right now, it is just a nascent aberration,” added Yang Jian.

“What kind of aberration?” Tong Qian asked. “Like me?”

She was an aberration created by Yang Jian.

Yang Jian shook his head: “No, you are an aberration among the ghost controllers, but this thing is an aberration among the ghosts. If it needs a name, I think it should be called… a Ghoul.”

“Ghoul? How so?” Tong Qian frowned.

Yang Jian explained, “It’s not human, nor is it a ghost, but a monster similar to a ghost. I think this term is more fitting.”

Tong Qian nodded, not asking any further.

“What are the chances it’s controllable?” Feng Quan asked curiously.

If it’s a controllable aberration, that would be a good thing.

Everyone had seen the Ghost Child next to Yang Jian; well-controlled, a great assistant, and with enormous potential.

In supernatural incidents, such an entity is often more useful than a ghost controller.

Yang Jian thought for a moment: “The first stage is already completed; now it’s in the Second Stage, and the chances are quite high. As for what the final product will be like, I don’t know either. It involves some old, sensitive issues, but I can’t discuss these right now; you will understand once the results come out.”

“That really is something to look forward to,” Feng Quan remarked wistfully.

Of course, it was worth the anticipation.

Yang Jian was also very much looking forward to it.

That was a legacy left by his deceased father.

Unable to inherit rural fish ponds and fields, inheriting a ghost wasn’t bad either.

“Captain, you talk about such confidential matters so casually; aren’t you worried about leaks?” Huang Ziya remarked.

Yang Jian smiled, “Even I don’t know the method to control this ghost. If anyone wants to try, they can go ahead, but don’t blame me if they end up dead.”

That was a Ghost Dream.

An unsolvable fierce ghost capable of entering dreams to kill.

Any other ghost controller daring to eye this ghostly entity would unknowingly be courting death.

Hearing this, everyone shivered, their curiosity instantly washed completely clean.

An unknown, uncontrollable fierce ghost.

Who would dare to open the coffin to take a look?
