In the dream, Yang Jian couldnât eliminate the King, although the Evil Hound could defeat the Pianist, it couldnât kill him. Continuing the standoff here would only be disadvantageous to him.
Therefore, he stopped thinking about killing the Pianist and instead planned to pull the consciousness of other intelligence operatives here into the Ghost Dream World to reduce their numbers as much as possible.
With his abilities, he could easily handle those intelligence operatives.
Yang Jian wandered in the empty hall with the Evil Hound, and although he couldnât fully invade here with the Evil Hound, traces of invasion were still left behind wherever the Evil Hound passed. Capturing those consciousnesses through these traces was an easy task.
The Pianist could do nothing to stop it, and could only let Yang Jian run wild in his domain.
However, he didnât want Yang Jian to wander so easily, so the Pianist sat in front of the black piano again and began to play an eerie piece of music.
As the music played, Yang Jian noticed that the melody had changed. Although it was very similar to before, there were obvious changes, as if some notes had been altered, turning the originally ethereal and eerie music into a much softer melody, like a lullaby.
With the appearance of this soft piano piece, the glorious hall started to become blurry, as if the entire supernatural space was about to disappear.
âBecause of my presence, the other side no longer wants to maintain this supernatural space. He wants to drive me away by letting the supernatural space disappear,â Yang Jian immediately understood the Pianistâs intention upon seeing this scene.
As long as he stayed here, the Pianist could never rest assured; the only way was to stop maintaining this supernatural space.
Yang Jian stopped in his tracks at this moment and didnât continue to wander around. However, after making a round just now, he didnât leave empty-handed, capturing the consciousness of several unlucky ones and successfully pulling them into the Ghost Dream World.
âI hope you can attend my performance next time we meet,â the Pianistâs voice came with the soft music.
By now, the splendid hall had completely disappeared, leaving only a dim, lifeless village.
Yang Jian stood on a winding path with the Evil Hound, surrounded by darkness, nothing left.
âThis is another troublesome opponent. Fortunately, the Nightmare Castle was taken down by the Evil Hound, otherwise the Nightmare Castle combined with the Pianistâs performance could kill in dreams. If thereâs a chance, I still have to find a way to deal with this guy, canât let him persist,â
He felt some dread towards the Pianist. After all, he was someone the Evil Hound could not deal with.
âHowever, after this encounter, at least I know the intelligence of a King on the other side. Now that the Pianist has left here, I donât need to stay either and ought to check on Leuk Sanâs side,â
Yang Jian thought to himself and immediately left the Ghost Dream World, returning to reality.
In reality, he opened his eyes and woke up, then saw Leuk San sitting beside him, also slowly waking up.
The Pianist no longer maintained that supernatural space, so all living consciousnesses present there would leave on their own, and Leuk San was no exception.
âHowâs the situation?â Yang Jian asked immediately upon seeing Leuk San awake.
Leuk San, although awake, still sat there motionless, taking a while to regain his composure because he was receiving the memory of the paper man, learning about all the events that happened throughout the day.
âThe situation isnât bad. Although my consciousness was wandering in that supernatural space, I also managed to enter a special room by some method. That room seemed to be where the Pianist recorded archive materials, and I also acquired a lot of intelligence information,â
âIs there intelligence on the King?â Yang Jian asked again.
Leuk San nodded, but his expression was serious, âThere is intelligence on the King, but after understanding, I realized that the King Organization is very deep.â
âWhat do you mean?â Yang Jian frowned.
Leuk San said, âAccording to the intelligence, the King Organization has fifteen Kings on the surface, but in fact, there are at least twenty-five people qualified to become Kings. Itâs just that the extra ten people, for various reasons, are not involved in the Kingâs organization, so we donât have to worry about them for now. What really makes me uneasy is the founder of the King Organization, or should I say, the hidden sixteenth person.â
âYou mean there is a hidden entity in the King Organization apart from the fifteen Kings on the surface?â Yang Jian asked.
âYes, and many things seem to trace back to this person, whether itâs the Ark Plan or the Ghost Ship, they are all related to this person,â Leuk San said seriously, âYang Jian, you should also know how special a ship capable of carrying countless terrifying ghosts is. A bus carrying ghosts can only handle thirty-five at most, and it still needs a ghost-wielder with enough ability to be the driver.â
âThe Ghost Ship can carry a boatload of ghosts, such a terrifying supernatural object, what kind of person could control it? A King? I think no King is qualified to ride the Ghost Ship, so I suspect it has something to do with the sixteenth person of the King Organization.â
Yang Jian pondered, âI hadnât thought about this issue before, I just thought they used some special method to guide the Ghost Ship forward, didnât think about someone being able to ride the Ghost Ship, that ship is so dangerous, in the current supernatural circle, Iâm afraid no one has the qualifications to ride it, maybe the top ghost-wielder who survived the Republic of China Period could do it.â
âBut looking at the King Organizationâs intelligence, the unknown sixteenth person doesnât seem like a top ghost-wielder who survived the Republic of China Period. If it were, there would definitely be records, just like with Old Qin, there are undoubtedly traces, but that sixteenth person seems to have appeared out of nowhere,â Leuk San said.
Yang Jian said, âThe issue you mention is indeed serious, but it seems that now is not the time to think about those things. The urgent matter on our hands is to find a way to deal with the other sideâs King. As for that hidden sixteenth person, I think they will show up eventually.â
âI understand, but I thought it necessary to tell you this important message in advance to keep you prepared,â Leuk San said with a deep tone.
âI understand,â Yang Jian nodded.
Leuk San said, âI will sort out the intelligence on the fifteen Kings afterward and send it out, but the information on the files is not complete. I hope you wonât mind then.â
âKnowing a general idea is enough, itâs understandable not to have detailed intelligence data, after all, no top ghost-wielder would be foolish enough to document all their information, some supernatural information can only be known by oneself, not to be said,â Yang Jian said.
âHowever, youâve done more than enough, found the opponentâs intelligence information, and even exposed their Pianist. Now, the King Organization has no choice but to abandon the domestic intelligence operatives who were lying low. Without the support of information, our ensuing actions will be much safer, and there wonât be any more leaders being attacked,â Yang Jian said.
âI guess it wasnât for nothing, itâs getting late now, Iâll go sort out the information,â
Leuk San stood up and then thought of something else, âBy the way, Yang Jian, youâll need to be especially careful in the next few days. It seems that the other sideâs Ghost Ship is already within our sea territory and very close to the port, it might dock at any time. Iâm worried they might delay time, then catch us off guard.â
âPlanning to dock the Ghost Ship early? I understand,â Yang Jianâs face became serious instantly.
Unexpectedly, the King Organization was ruthless. They had just negotiated with him, planning to ease tensions for three days, only to turn around and potentially plan an early docking of the Ghost Ship, launching a surprise attack.
If it werenât for Leuk Sanâs reminder, they would have indeed been caught.
If the opponent strikes first, theyâll be on the back foot.
âCould it really be that the other side doesnât care about the grand flood plan at all?â Yang Jian was puzzled.
Considering the King Organization knows he has a means to go down fighting, they shouldnât be forcing the Ark Plan.
Doing it this way makes it seem like someone wants the supernatural incidents to go entirely out of control and doesnât want things to be resolved peacefully.
But having supernatural incidents fully out of control benefits no one.
Even a King and a Captain wouldnât want to live in a city riddled with various supernatural incidents, as even the strongest ghost-wielder facing a ghost might still be killed.
âNow that Leuk San puts it this way, I really feel like something is abnormal inside the King Organization. This abnormality makes me think of Japanâs Exorcism Club, but the reason the Exorcism Club had problems was that a ghost had infiltrated it, and the ghostâs identity wasnât confirmed. That ghost supposedly has intelligence and has almost taken over the entire Exorcism Club. Could the King Organization have a similar situation?â
âThe possibility is very small, the King Organization is a coalition formed by various forces, even if one King has a problem, it shouldnât lead to all Kings having a problem.â
Yang Jian continued to ponder, but without a deeper understanding, there was no way to make a judgment.
Leuk San had temporarily left at this point, he was organizing intelligence data and preparing the information on the fifteen Kings,
At the same time, new information came from Wang Guoqiangâs side.
The candidate captains deployed by headquarters had arrived in Dadong City and were now waiting for Yang Jianâs arrangements.
âDidnât expect the candidate captains to be transferred over so quickly, it seems headquarters is indeed very anxious,â Yang Jian came back to his senses, also stood up, and prepared to set off.
He was to go see these candidate captains and assign them tasks, preparing for the confrontation with the King Organization.
