Chapter 1245 1211: Paper Effigies in the Mountains and Forests

Yang Jian left the headquarters and decided to ensure the captain meeting started smoothly.

However, as soon as he left, he received a file on his phone containing contact information for all the captains.

He glanced over it briefly and started pondering.

Who would be the first captain to visit?

Flipping through the file, Yang Jian considered his options and finally rested his gaze on Leuk San’s file.

“He’ll be the first.”

Without hesitation, he immediately took action, heading straight towards the city where Leuk San was located.

His choice of Leuk San was a thoughtful decision.

Firstly, Leuk San owed Yang Jian a favor from the Ghost Lake incident. Secondly, this guy is relatively easy to find. The paper figures could be everywhere; finding just one would be considered as finding Leuk San, so it wouldn’t be a wasted trip.

After knowing the city where Leuk San was located, Yang Jian set off at once.

He directly utilized the Ghost Domain, traversing between two places.

Very soon.

He appeared above a city.

This was Daqing City.

The information from headquarters said that now Leuk San was in charge of this city, with his office located in Daqing City’s Twin Towers. This tower is quite prominent, with a golden hue, as if afraid people wouldn’t notice it, making it very ostentatious, a stark contrast to the low-profile behavior he exhibited at headquarters.

Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain spread out, unconsciously covering the entire city.

“This guy really smeared gold onto the walls of the office building. Could it be that he spent all his salary on this?”

When his Ghost Domain attempted to cover the Twin Towers, where Leuk San’s office was located, it was unexpectedly disrupted, making it impossible to fully scan the place, only allowing him to glimpse sporadic areas.

Next moment.

Yang Jian immediately appeared at the entrance of the Twin Towers.

His sudden appearance didn’t attract much attention. After all, passersby don’t pay much attention if someone suddenly appears beside them, assuming the person just walked past unnoticed.

However, while passersby didn’t care, the security guards at the building’s entrance took notice immediately.

The security guards weren’t ordinary, they were staff under Leuk San’s command.

Yang Jian strode towards the building, and the two security guards glanced at each other, showing expressions of surprise and doubt.

They were sure they hadn’t seen wrongly.

This person who suddenly appeared was Yang Jian from Dachang City, the ghost-eye.

Although they hadn’t seen him before, they’d seen Yang Jian’s photo in the files long ago, so they recognized him immediately.

“Go ahead and ask to confirm the situation.”

The two staff hesitated for a moment but decided to muster the courage to approach and inquire.

Yet Yang Jian didn’t give them the opportunity to question him. After taking a few more steps forward, he disappeared from sight. When he reappeared, he was already inside the building’s lobby, and in a blink, he vanished again, without anyone knowing which floor he had gone to in this building.

“Disappeared?”

“Quick, contact the higher-ups and report the situation.” The two security guards immediately began to notify urgently.

Someone suspected to be the ghost-eye Yang Jian appeared at the Twin Towers?

This news quickly spread out.

But at the same time.

Yang Jian had already appeared on the twenty-ninth floor of the building.

This floor was no different from others, just an ordinary level, but here Yang Jian sensed a different aura, an aura of the supernatural.

Inside one office on this floor, the door remained shut.

Yang Jian ignored the tightly shut door, barging in, and saw several paper figures of varying damage.

“Leuk San’s paper figures? But these seem to be abandoned here. Although there are still lingering supernatural elements, they can’t be used properly anymore.”

Yang Jian noticed, one paper figure with lesser damage still had moving eyes, as if observing the surroundings, but its jaw down to the stomach had a cut, almost tearing the paper figure apart, leaving it close to being discarded. Yet it was considered one of the better ones.

Other paper figures had heads missing, some were split in two, and others were completely shattered beyond recognition.

“Seems like this isn’t Leuk San’s office.”

He prepared to search elsewhere again.

Just then, Yang Jian’s gaze shifted behind him.

About three seconds later, a man in a suit abruptly appeared before him, unsmiling, with a stiff face. His face was painted with makeup, his skin tone was abnormal, resembling a corpse in a mortuary, even exuding a cold aura.

“Captain Yang, I am a team member of Captain Leuk San, my name is Wang Jie. Pleased to meet you. I apologize for not greeting you properly.”

This person forced a stiff smile, announcing his identity and name.

Wang Jie?

This name didn’t appear in Leuk San’s file, clearly an unofficial recruit by Leuk San, similar to Wang Yong under Yang Jian, absent from headquarters’ registry, hence not recorded.

“Where is Leuk San? I have some business with him,” Yang Jian said expressionlessly.

“The captain has been on a business trip these days, apparently handling a particularly important paranormal event, so he’s not here right now. If you have anything to say, Captain Yang, you can tell me, and I’ll relay the message to the captain later,” Wang Jie said.

Yang Jian glanced and said, “Can you represent Leuk San? Stop wasting time, tell me where he went, my patience is very limited, and I don’t have time to waste with you.”

Wang Jie’s eyes flickered, afraid to anger Yang Jian, he immediately said, “Since it’s something important, I wouldn’t dare delay. Please, let me lead the way for Captain Yang.”

He gestured slightly.

“Lead the way,” Yang Jian said.

Wang Jie quickly brought Yang Jian to the thirty-fifth floor, which was empty, like it had just been built but not yet decorated. However, in the middle of this empty floor, there was a box.

The box was made of gold, typically used to imprison malevolent spirits.

Wang Jie opened the box, and inside, instead of a malevolent spirit, lay a corpse, no, not a corpse, but a paper figurine.

That was a paper figurine of Leuk San.

As soon as the box was opened, the paper figurine inside, Leuk San, opened its eyes and awoke.

“Wang Jie, what’s so urgent that you needed to contact me? Didn’t I tell you not to open this box unless it’s very important?”

The paper figurine of Leuk San slowly stepped out of the box.

Evidently, this was a paper figurine he left at the company for emergency contact purposes.

“Yang Jian, Captain Yang has arrived, this matter with the captain is not something to be taken lightly, and I had no choice,” Wang Jie said.

At that moment, Yang Jian strode forward, “Leuk San, headquarters is calling for a captain’s meeting, they want you to attend.”

“Yang Jian?”

Leuk San looked at Yang Jian, his paper face showing some emotion.

“I really didn’t expect you to come in person; I know about the headquarters calling a captain’s meeting, but I’ve been tied up lately and honestly powerless to attend. However, I did not expect headquarters would actually ask for you to step in, it seems that this meeting is indeed unusual.”

“So you’re still going to refuse?” Yang Jian said.

Leuk San sighed and said, “If it were anyone else, I’d definitely refuse, but seeing you, I know I can’t refuse, yet whether I can attend is still uncertain. Paranormal issues aren’t so easy to handle. If Captain Yang doesn’t mind the trouble, he can come over and take a look. I’ll give you the coordinates.”

After speaking, he gestured to the nearby Wang Jie.

Wang Jie handed over pen and paper.

Leuk San wrote down a set of coordinates, “I’m currently stuck here, dealing with a paranormal event. Be careful when you come, Captain Yang.”

“You just want to drag me over to help, right?” Yang Jian glanced at the coordinates and said.

“No, no, I can handle this myself, it’s just I can’t leave for now. Captain Yang will understand everything once you get here,” Leuk San said.

Yang Jian said, “If that’s the case, then see you later.”

After saying that, he disappeared again.

He had already memorized the coordinates and knew where it was.

After Yang Jian left, Leuk San turned to Wang Jie and said, “You did well, Yang Jian’s business with me was indeed urgent, thankfully you didn’t stop him, otherwise, if he really made a move, he’d definitely kill you. After all, you are not a ghost handler from headquarters, he wouldn’t show mercy. Be more cautious when dealing with Yang Jian in the future.”

“Captain, is the headquarters meeting more important than handling a paranormal event? Why must it be now? It’s hard to understand why someone like Yang Jian would run errands for the headquarters,” Wang Jie said.

Leuk San said, “For headquarters to solicit Yang Jian, they must have paid an incredible price, and if such a price is made for this captains’ meeting, it indicates that the matter is extraordinary. I’m preparing to put aside what I’m handling for now and attend this meeting first.”

“Captain, you could just send a paper figurine to attend the meeting,” Wang Jie suggested.

Leuk San said, “Yang Jian is personally involved. If I send a paper figurine, once it’s exposed, this situation will be uncontrollable. Don’t underestimate the captains at headquarters, they are all exceptional.”

He has done such a thing before, allowing a paper figurine to participate during the ghost painting incident.

As a result, he offended too many people afterward and dared not use this trick again.

“Alright, you don’t need to worry about Yang Jian, just focus on managing this city well, I can handle the rest,” Leuk San said.

Wang Jie nodded.

Meanwhile.

Yang Jian had already arrived at the coordinates.

This was a mountainous area, with lush trees everywhere, and scattered villages, which were connected by a winding mountain road. However, most of the villages were abandoned, and the villagers had long migrated to the city.

Yang Jian opened his ghost eye and scanned the area.

In the mountains and forests, a series of bizarre figures raised their heads to look at the sky, motionless, like scarecrows in the woods.

“All are Leuk San’s paper figurines.” Yang Jian saw those figures in the forest.

They weren’t malevolent spirits but paper figurines spread here by Leuk San.

“Yang Jian, you’ve come,” one of the paper figurines said, standing on a tree and waving at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian vanished from the sky and the next moment appeared on the mountain road, where another paper figurine, also looking like Leuk San, awaited him.

“What are you doing here with so many paper figurines? Handling a paranormal event?”

He asked the paper figurine in front of him.
