Chapter 1445 - 1412: The Emergence of the Nightmare

A video conference ended hastily, and both sides’ attitudes were clear.

Although the King Organization had suffered a setback, they clearly did not want to let it rest. They just wanted to delay for a few days, to have more time to prepare, while Yang Jian’s attitude was very firm, determined to eliminate the King Organization and remove it from this world. He also showed enough confidence, with no intention of negotiating at all.

So, the meeting ended on a sour note.

“It’s rare; the other side didn’t pull any tricks during the video conference. Probably because they saw we only had three captains appearing, even if they acted, they wouldn’t gain any advantage, so they chose to hold back,” Leuk San said.

Yang Jian glanced over: “How are you so sure they have a way to kill across the internet?”

Leuk San’s paper figure gave a strange smile: “They initiated this video conference, and if they didn’t have such supernatural means, why bother? They could just have a few agents come out to negotiate; there’s no need to appear in person. By taking part personally, they risk information leakage. Even so, they were willing to do this, clearly trying to gain more advantages.”

“If we had gathered all the captains and candidate captains this time, showing utmost importance to this meeting, I bet they would have made a move.”

“Makes sense. Attacking during a video conference might not kill everyone, but as long as we have enough people, some would be unable to resist and would die under a supernatural assault. I recall some special killing methods abroad, such as the phone killing code-named Ghost Call, the midnight doorbell murder, and the death melody murder… As for a video curse murder, it’s not impossible,” Lu Zhiwen mentioned some foreign supernatural events.

However, those supernatural events have disappeared, but the supernatural powers will not; most likely, they’ve been controlled by the King Organization’s ghost tamers.

Just like the Ghost Door Knocker incident in the country, now the supernatural being of the Ghost Door Knocker is controlled by Li Yang.

“Is there any way to locate the King Organization’s position?” Yang Jian said, “I want to take further action within these three days.”

Lu Zhiwen thought for a moment and said: “Though they showed their faces during the video conference, they didn’t reveal their names. That so-called Charlie King should also be a pseudonym. Without real information, it’s hard to pinpoint their location, and even if we did, taking action would be very unwise. The other side must already be gathered together, and acting could be very risky.”

Leuk San said, “I have found one of their intelligence ghost tamers, but that person is not in reality, but connected through consciousness, making it hard to pinpoint.”

“Not in reality?”

Yang Jian glanced over, and immediately said: “That’s simple, I’ll have my dog follow you. It can invade the consciousness of living people and pull people into dreams.”

“If that’s the case, you come find me. My main body is in an apartment in Dadong City,” Leuk San’s paper figure immediately revealed his location.

“Alright, then let’s not waste time, take action immediately, and see if we can get hold of their intelligence. If not, destroying their intelligence organization is also a good thing.” Yang Jian immediately stood up and then said, “Lu Zhiwen, today many candidate captains will come to Dadong City, you handle the reception.”

“No problem,” Lu Zhiwen nodded.

Yang Jian quickly disappeared from the conference room, activating his Ghost Domain to head to Leuk San’s main body’s location.

Leuk San’s address was not spoken out.

Soon, Yang Jian appeared in an empty apartment building, where the real Leuk San was sitting on a sofa, eyes closed as if asleep.

“This is the recording device used by the King Organization’s intelligence officer, which can play a piece of eerie music. That music can pull a person’s consciousness into a special place. The other side contacts this way, which means there is no specific base for the King Organization in reality.”

At this moment, Leuk San’s voice sounded, but a paper figure walked out from the room next door and briefly explained the situation.

Yang Jian glanced over, and indeed, an old-fashioned tape recorder was placed in front of the sleeping Leuk San.

“How long have you been like this?” he asked.

“I’ve gone in to investigate several times, but each time got lost. This time, it’s been quite long, several hours already,” said Leuk San’s paper figure.

Yang Jian squinted and said: “Your consciousness being pulled into a supernatural place essentially means you’re going into their territory. The opponent surely has some safety measures to prevent unrelated people from getting in. However, such tricks are useless for me; as long as I bring my dog inside, everything can be resolved.”

“Your dog is too ferocious; I don’t dare to act recklessly. You should bring your dog and go together.” Leuk San’s paper figure shook its head, considerably wary of the Evil Hound Yang Jian reared.

After all, that dog is a true ghost, and one never knows when it might go out of control.

“If you’re not at ease, I can go either way. How is this thing used?” Yang Jian didn’t mind; he picked up the old recording device.

One of Leuk San’s paper figures taught Yang Jian the usage method of the recorder.

Soon, Yang Jian started using it according to the instructions.

He first entered a code, then heard a familiar, eerie music coming from the recorder.

“Why does this sound so much like the curse bell of the Eight-Tone Music Box? But the melody is off; it’s not the Eight-Tone Music Box’s melody, it’s another melody, but undoubtedly, this and the Eight-Tone Music Box’s bell must be of the same type.” Yang Jian recognized the music immediately upon hearing it.

It seems to be one of the puzzle pieces of the Eight-Tone Music Box’s bell. He had found a piece of the bell before at Caesar Grand Hotel, and didn’t expect this third piece to be abroad.

“The bell can guide consciousness to enter an unknown place?”

Listening to this bell, Yang Jian felt as if his consciousness was indeed being drawn, his vision blurring as if seeing another scene.

It was a spacious hall… In the middle of the hall seemed to be a piano.

But soon.

A low growl from the Evil Hound echoed in his mind, instantly breaking Yang Jian’s consciousness free from a certain supernatural restraint, snapping him back to clarity.

“Take me in for the intrusion.” Yang Jian immediately commanded the Evil Hound.

His consciousness was pulled again, but this time he was not affected, instead it felt like he was willingly entering that unknown supernatural realm.

Very soon.

The scene before his eyes shifted once more. Yang Jian felt as if he had successfully entered a spacious hall in the form of consciousness, but along with him appeared an Evil Hound by his side.

“Is this the supernatural place Leuk San mentioned that only consciousness can enter?” He looked around, finding it amazing, as he couldn’t see his own body, yet he could feel his existence.

Moreover, the way he walked was strange.

Without the sensation of legs, his entire being seemed like a mysterious floating object, drifting in the air.

This was completely different from when entering the Ghost Dream.

Seeing this, Yang Jian couldn’t help but ponder: “Leuk San’s situation upon entering here should be the same as mine. He has no physical form, so he shouldn’t be able to see me, just as I can’t see him. Every operative here is invisible to each other, thus Leuk San’s investigation was hindered.”

“But how do the operatives who enter here leave information? Perhaps there’s a place akin to an archive room here, and Leuk San might be searching for such a place.”

He gradually understood some of the situation here.

No wonder the King Organization is so secretive. Even though Leuk San infiltrated it, he found nothing noteworthy.

“However, I need not follow Leuk San’s old path. This is their territory; naturally, I must abide by their rules. But what I need to do now is make this my territory, follow my rules.” Yang Jian mused to himself, then once again issued a command to the Evil Hound beside him.

“Infiltrate here and drag all the consciousnesses into the nightmare.”

The Evil Hound quickly let out a low growl, and then an incredible sight unfolded. An old cement road appeared at the Evil Hound’s feet, and soon the area of this road expanded, beginning to spread in all directions.

The empty, magnificently decorated hall disappeared, replaced by a desolate, uninhabited village.

The village’s area kept expanding as time passed.

Yang Jian stood on the small stretch of road in the village that appeared; his strange state vanished, and his body reappeared, just like when he previously entered the Ghost Dream World.

He traversed the consciousness world and entered the Ghost Dream World.

“Success.” He squinted his eyes, observing the ever-expanding dream world.

As long as this place was completely enveloped, all the hidden consciousnesses here would reveal themselves.

Very quickly, the effect manifested.

The silhouette of a stranger abruptly appeared not far from Yang Jian; it was also a living consciousness that had entered here, but unfortunately, it was captured by the Evil Hound and forcibly pulled into the dream world.

This person looked shocked, then glanced at Yang Jian, immediately his eyes contracted, seemingly recognizing Yang Jian’s identity, instinctively wanting to flee.

The Evil Hound let out just a low growl, and the person stood frozen, unable to move, with only a pair of frightened eyes continuously darting around.

This was the ability obtained by the Evil Hound from invading Zhang Xiangguang’s supernatural classroom, binding anyone entering the dream world in place, making them immobile. Previously, this person could have escaped, potentially found some weapon to counterattack. If his ability were strong enough, the Evil Hound wouldn’t have been able to kill him within a day, but not now; once bound, he was merely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, completely powerless to resist.

“It seems you recognize me, that’s good, saves me a lot of trouble. I’m giving you a chance to speak, don’t disappoint me.” Yang Jian glanced at the person and then had the Evil Hound lessen its hold on him.

Immediately, the stranger’s upper body could move. He was able to speak, but his feet were still fixed in place, unable to escape.

“I, I’m Zhang Li, an operative of the King Organization… currently investigating the situation of the director Ma Jun in Dafu City, Yang, Captain Yang, spare me this time, I promise to quit the King Organization immediately, surrender to headquarters, and disclose all the intel information I know,” the man named Zhang Li said in terror.

If not for his numb legs, he might have wanted to kneel before Yang Jian.

“You don’t look like a foreigner, did the King Organization pay you a lot? Need to risk your life for them?” Yang Jian said coldly.

“Captain Yang, it’s just a job, I didn’t think so much,” the man named Zhang Li kept explaining.

Yang Jian was unwilling to listen to his explanations: “I don’t want to waste words with you. I’ll let my Evil Hound have a chat with you.”

He wasn’t interested in asking for any intel, directly instructing the Evil Hound.

The Evil Hound immediately snarled, pouncing on Zhang Li, savagely tearing into him.

Zhang Li continually let out harrowing screams, blood splattering everywhere, but everything quickly came to an end.

In the dream, the Evil Hound had brutally bitten this King Organization operative to death.

Such a brutal scene frightened the other two newly appeared operatives into having their legs turn to jelly.

The invasion of the Ghost Dream continued, its range expanding, continuously capturing and dragging some consciousnesses entering here into this silent and terrifying village.

“Let’s hear your status.” Yang Jian glanced over, the massive Evil Hound beside him with its eyes glowing a faint red, mouth full of blood, baring its teeth, looking extremely fierce.

The newly appeared operatives immediately turned pale, drenched in cold sweat.
